Most Satisfying PC component to install

[Maneil99]

Dropping that RAM like it's hot is my fav. Hbu

 

[TheJackdog]

turning it on and not catching on fire or having it...ya know...actually turn on?

thats my fav

 

[Hamster Plugin]

Thermal paste is some wonderful stuff

 

[DaciaJC]

Sliding in a couple sticks of RAM and hearing the clicks feels so slick.

 

[Jahranimo]

I've always been a fan of memory sticks getting inserted and fastened. Mmmm.

 

[Astral Lovelace]

A big, chunky, meaty graphics card sliding right into that slot.

 

[Jerm]

RAM

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

I feel like anyone who picks CPU or motherboard needs to be checked in with their local institution.

 

[vestan]

GPU easily with RAM coming in pretty close

 

[Caesar III]

soundcard I guess?

 

[Raide]

CPU and cooler and the system boots first time.

 

[djplaeskool]

The thunk of my 1080 TI hittin' that PCI-E slot just right.
Awwww baby.

 

[Buttchin-n-Bones]

GPU and CPU install is stressful.

RAM is...🤤🤤🤤

 

[Skyebaron]

I imagine termal paste is my cum so millions of my soldiers formed a cooling society and are protecting their one and only CPU god.

CPU socket lock is a little too creaky. Has to be RAM.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Memory, easily.

 

[collige]

Installing a CPU is scary. Installing RAM is fun. GPU is a runner up

 

[Deleted member 1476]

Mouse.

 

[Keikaku]

CPU with pins.

 

[ghibli99]

GPU, because the anticipation of what I'll experience afterwards makes that click all the more special. :)

 

[Ravelle]

It sure isn't the CPU Cooler.

I would say graphics card because it gives the least resistance.

 

[SoundLad]

When I'm building a PC, I usually leave the GPU installation last and once it's done, the build is done! Nothing more satisfying than that with regards to hardware installation.

 

[DJ_Lae]

I absolutely agree with RAM. It's basically impossible to screw up and has such a weighty thunk to it.

The feeling of installing a CPU is more of 'thank god that shit is over.'

 

[EVA UNIT 01]

RAM clicks oooohhh yeeeaaahhhh

 

[Xiaomi]

Power supply and getting those cables looking clean. Followed by clamping down an nvme drive.

 

[Cenauru]

Half the motherboards I've used had lock mechanisms for the CPU that felt like I was going to snap the motherboard in half from how hard you have to push them down and lock them in.

 

[pswii60]

Definitely the RAM.

GPU is less satisfying now you've got all those additional power cables going to it.

The feeling of installing a CPU is more of 'thank god that shit is over.'

Indeed. My heart races through that nightmare process. Not to mention installing the many multiple fiddly components of a decent CPU cooler.

Back when I was younger and CPUs still had pins, I bent one. I then tried to unbend it and it snapped off. And I ended up with a brand new shiny useless CPU.

 

[BoosterDuck]

GPU since it's the life force of PC gaming

 

[TheMadTitan]

The most satisfying are those tiny ass one pin cables you gotta align properly in the exact order on to the mobo otherwise nothing boots but no one wants to pack in an adapter with the motherboard, forcing you to exhaustingly plug those sons of bitches in one out of time in a progressively difficult, tedious, and annoying matter.

And it's only satisfying because once that shit is done, you can finally relax.

 

[Sou Da]

Click to shrink...

yeah this is it for me

 

[Xavi]

RAM.

Fuck installing air coolers.

 

[Shoichi]

That RAM click/thunk..shivers. Such goodness.

 

[RockmanBN]

I fucked my motherboard with the CPU installation. GPU was easy af.

 

[TheUnseenTheUnheard]

When I install RAM I still have the stress of building the rest of the computer. When I'm installing the GPU it means the rest is done and good things are to come.

 

[Akita One]

GPU, because the anticipation of what I'll experience afterwards makes that click all the more special. :)

Click to shrink...

Same thing I thought. It is the Christmas present with extraordinary amounts of wrapping.

 

[FantasticMrSnake]

How can you people don't like to insert the CPU put some thermal pasta and then fit the cooler? D:!

 

[DrFunk]

The thunk of my 1080 TI hittin' that PCI-E slot just right.
Awwww baby.

Click to shrink...

Erotic

 

[DigitalOp]

Im gonna be lame and say all of it.

I can't choose, every single part just rocks

 

[funky]

Me after CPU installation

That shit is nerve racking.

 

[NCR Ranger]

Getting that big ol' GPU in is always the best part. The CPU and Mobo is a "thankfully that shit is done" and the RAM is just meh.

 

[Prophet Steve]

Definitely the RAM, the click is great. Sliding HDD brackets in feels nice too, but that depends on the case a lot.

 

[Mifec]

The fuck are you people doing with your CPUs? I'd understand being afraid of messing up if it is your first time but after that you lit just put it in the socket and clamp down.

 

[Kirksplosion]

Power cables = it means I'm almost friggin' done.

Actually I'd answer anything but the CPU and especially the CPU heat sink. I hate it so so much.

 

[dirtyjane]

That snug fitting of CPUs is terrifying and orgasmic at the same time.

 

[ElOdyssey]

GPU.

Closing the cpu socket is fucking terrifying.

Awwww baby.

🥴🥴🥴

 

[DevilMayGuy]

I like to cram the RAM

 

[Serein]

Jammin' the RAM in.

Dang expensive bomb defusal.

Don't. Bend. The. Pins.

 

[Deleted member 9305]

CPU, terrifying, RAM, terrifying ... heavy GPU snapping into place, satisfying AF.
