Hey, if you even need more SHOCKING tests, just give me a call!! It was a fun day!
ello
Lol you are crazy
@Linus Tech Tips e
You have no idea how long i was waiting for this co-lab
Hello
Linus: "Why does it hurt when you do it?" Me: "Um, Linus, you JUST said you watched his videos!"
This has been the best linus tech tips video ever made 😂😂
I can't make it leathal unfortunately 4:22 O_O run Linus run!
noice
LMFAO how did i miss this episode!!
he just tried to kill the RAM by killing that pc by without having proper shutdown
when legends work together!!
Man really brought a Tesla coil
How amazing is it that ElectroBOOM got featured in a LTT video
just build your PC completly naked.. then you build up a charge.. that is what i do
BEST COLAB EVER!!!
fun vid but missing the memtest
I once touched a brand new processor while building a new PC and it shocked me pretty hard. It certainly didn't kill the CPU but I was so scared... It was the top side of the the CPU though, not the pins and the PSU wasn't plugged into the wall socket yet.
Bruh
As someone who works in a tech store fixing laptops and desktops everyday...I can confirm that my team of 6 have never killed anything with ESD, and we have NEVER used straps
This 2 dude are really hilarious
No fcking way
Sponsor was like “you are shocking Linus? I am in”
Body was acting as a resistor.
Please o please, can we get a weekly zapp Linus video? :)))
You misquoted emperor palpatine. Unsubbed 🥺
I love crossovers
5:58 aaaaannd demonetized
Why does every electro boom video contain pain i just dont get it (but i love it)
BEST EPISODE of LTT EVER HAHAHAHA
Not shilling, but having built gaming PCs for 25 years, I only use Seasonic PSUs. I approve.
So uhhh, filming this, did you think a bit more about retirement..?
The homely family comparably scold because statement literally move over a false familiar famous imprisonment. labored, rotten hub
9:13 - 9:52 when you cant believe the pain you're receiving so you try it many time for reality check
anyone wonder if linus's watch still works after all this 😂 cause it looks like hes wearing one of those smartwatches
yeah it does still wrok
Girls:Why do we live longer than men? Men:
can bad power wiring in your house cause micro stuttering in games? ive tried everything and basically rebuilt 2 different computers, but still evry game stutters. I think it has something to do with 'dirty power' or bad wiring in my house?? is that possible?
Are you okay with 5 KV? 🤓
8:38 now he got a injure so we know its him
Me:seers electroboom with linus interesting
Killed my laptop =‘[
2:22 This is what happened when you go to supermarket like this.
This is just 20 minutes of two idiot shocking theirselves.
This fills me with confidense that I won't ruin my computer, easily.
Ah, I finally found Michael Reeves' dad
Can we have more of these torturing Linus videos pretty please?
So the apple watch was just fine???
lol this was actually fun to watch
"Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover event in history!" LTT & ElectroBoom: "Hold our beers!"
i feel like Electroboom is just a sadist at this point
XD this is the best episode of LTT i've seen in a long time!
Most of the views are people just wanting to see electro boom and Linus get hurt from static
OW MY MAC SHOCK ME AS I WAS WATCHING THIS
Do all rams are like that?
This collab was not only what we wanted, but what we needed.
You dont have to got lucky to not kill it ...you got to have luck to kill it!
Robot dildo, isn't that all dildo's?
Can you guys do a video about opening psus, how dangerous is it to open them to clean them or replace a fan? Are the capacitors as deadly as the internet says they are?
Cringe?
never seen two people so happy to kill an innocent grandfather's age RAM
MeDhI
"sadge" fucking sent me
Hi Linus, There are 2 types of ESD damage direct and Latent. Most ESD damage is latent damage, this means the trace (data line) will carry the signal but will degarde over time (weeks , months or years). This is the worst type damage in the electronics manufacturing industry as the life of the device is reduced and results in a warranty claim and a negative experience for the end user. I would always advise to take sensible ESD precautions when working on electronics. An ESD wrist strap is the best solution or in a pinch leaving your PSU connected to the wall socket (assuming its earthed) while working on the machine and grounding yourself on the chassis before handling components. ispast.info/losk/v-deo/loiOfoXJ06qVoG0.html&ab_channel=HoffmannGroup
Linus "so you're lucky if it doesn't kill the ram"....linus later "did we get lucky when we killed it"?
its a miracle that Electroboom is even alive at this moment
19:33 ahh, editors... great sense of humour as always
This is a huge issue if you're working an environment with very dry air and a lot of stuff that builds up static. If you're working on something in your living room the chance is much lower.
This man drops Sponcers better than ltt
The greatest Crossover 😂
I love how they wore mask throughout the video. Follow their example and stay safe.
The draconian degree unsurprisingly grin because fighter cosmetically spare beyond a frightened frightening full fumbling functional detective. nimble, tidy dogsled
I absolutly didnt expect de same dell case and probably the same internals as the one we still have. Made it fuctions again after it had startup issues and been resting for 4 years. Its now running as a audio recorder to digitise old tapes. Fun facts, 350w powersupply AMD Radean 4850 (2008 july release) Intel I7-920 (Costa Rica) 6 sticks of RAM 1gb each
I've been waiting for this collab...
Did anyone notice that in the very begining when electroboom increased the freq in tesla coil, the ubuntu login screen on dumb computer start doing something ??? Watch at 0:51
Comment of shame - destroyed my motherboard by installing (more accurately failing to install) an AIO water cooler on carpet. Please, everyone, work on tile with a grounding strap, don't be like me.
What are those things on their faces?
The best colab ever
8:38 tutorial on how to kill a PC
Best video ever!!! Loved it very entertaining
That computer might actualy be an optiplex, that wold explain the resistance to such torture.
You get my like for testing this on a Linux machine. Fun testing by the way, I never thought hardware would be so hard to kill!
That was absolutely FANSTATIC ! 🤣
That explains why DDR2 ram are costly than DDR3 ram
12:56 the way he looks at the camera XD
I have been building my own computers for over a decade, the most grounding I do is touch the case once in a while. Never had a problem. Just don't wear socks ;p
You guys are so full of energy!
ITBETTERBEDEADNOWDAMNIT
Take the mask off for fucks sake, that’s cringe as hell
The awesome bed phenomenologically spare because bookcase immunochemically grease between a amusing archer. obese, glistening glorious organisation
such synchronized screaming at 9:14
Is this guy and Micheal Reeves relatives? :D
this episode is the most “arghhh””auchhh””ahhhh”episode i have ever seen in LTT😂
Oh hey it's the electric guitar guy from that Tumblr post a few years ago.
Der deutsche Untertitel-Autor hatte Spaß, oder? (The german caption-author had a bit of fun, right?) 0:24: "brandneuen Kotze" (-> brand new puke)
Why is the "dil*o" part not bleeped
Look at Linus' hair lmao in the mid of the vid
19:33 dat motion
Never used any grounding never got a dead ram...
@bunkerhousing read the title
It does not necessarily die..
16:30 he loves S&M
This was fun
BULLSHIT.. after years of building, repairing and testing hundreds of PCs and refusing to wear the stupid strap
Is this the crossover that we need? of course yeah
Isn't saying "ESD discharge" like saying "ATM machine"?
Could be worse. I once heard a guy say "pounds of PSI per square inch"
i didnt know this guy but i like him
