This was super fun! Hope you all enjoyed watching us recoil in pain... I guess.
linus sex tips
Xd
Ok
@Vader Tech Well, yea. Linus is a buffoon with shallow knowledge learned at youtube university. This was the very first video from EB that I didn't even watch. Well ok, I DID watch 2 minutes of it but linus is still an anoyying barnstormer.
very much so
The mushy stew pathophysiologically scribble because birch parenthetically admire beside a grotesque lamb. youthful, three colon
The tables obviously working against you. The ground is also more conductive for some reason
his voice, the doom in it, yeah exactly.
well since the entire computer chase is grounded.. so you get grounded when you touch it when the power plug is in but the on and off switch can be set to off and you are grounded at all time as you work on it. . taking that you roll up your sleeves and rest your arms on the metal from time to time, I got a full aluminium chase so I had to pull ground cables to everything just in chase. since I have trust issues towards alu and it's capabilities
😄
6:58 You can see the discharge inside the ram where the alligator clips are.
WoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooW
This is funny as hell who would dislike this???? What jerks and trolls
linus finally hit puberty
4:10 haha that was adorable.
How did I miss this one! lol love it
Maybe it only damages a section of memory that is not being used on boot - I know it is slower, but you probably need to do a memory check to really know.
Internal HT burns will give you gangrene and loss of limbs,no big deal then.
👁 👁 👃 👄
Now try a CPU.
Keep in mind that both of their body resistance is different and the sticks of ram used were different
5:10 i spend 15 minutes looking for this moment is so funny :D
Why do you sound like homer simspon? :O
Meanwhile, I casually shuffle my feet into the local Arduino store and every random device I buy is dead 😡 How the f#$k do you kill a heat-sink anyway! 🤬
I've killed a gpu(it's ram) with ESD so not sure why u couldn't, maybe I should show you the how? ...GPU was "working" but anything that had to do with load ...it failed every time ..back when GPU's didn't cover ram chips // Working doesn't mean it's stable, far from it
Obviously, you needed to stick a needle underneath your fingernail to fine tune your touch.
Geeeezzzzzzz Rick
You guys are smart, you should know that if it’s NOT an N95 mask then it’s not helping anything and is only for show. You people look so stupid.
ElectroLinus :/
Has anyone actually killed electronic components with static before? Anyone? No? MYTH BUSTED!
Esd can damage some memory modules so that it still works but bluescreens when the OS tries to use the damaged part of the RAM... Thats what i've seen in the past. RAM can still boot but randomly crash due to partial ESD damage, which is just as useless as completely dead as in this video. You would have to spend few minutes fully testing the ram to detect this
Hmm.. Just because a DIMM passes the power on test doesn't mean it's good. I realise it would slow things down significantly, but I'd be interested to see this experiment repeated with a full memtestX86 run between each discharge..
Imagine if your RAM Chip committed suicide
It's hard to kill ram, that's why they put a lifetime warranty 🤣
The charges are going down the ground ..why don't you step in something that will isolate you from the floor/ground?
@ElectroBOOM I'd say it's long overdue that you're awarded the IEEE Medal of Honor with "V" device for valor (or the Canadian counterpart, for that matter) for always putting yourself (and your pain tolerance) on the line above and beyond the call of duty.
Not human
Why you use plastic Safe the turtle bro
Great guy great personality love the knowledge and please don't electrocute your self .Johnny number 5 needs more input
Built my most recent PC without an anti static. *Laughs in Russian Roulette*
When electronic meets the electric
So it's playing Russian roulette with a 1000000 chamber revolver.
0:29 , That's because computer is not conected to current
0:35 LMAO

I've worked a good couple of years as a computer technician, repairing and assembling PCs and other computery things daily. No ESD protection whatsoever, and still no part deaths to speak of.
Im no electronics expert, but i think the shock wasnt as effective as it should be. Zapping it while its not doing anything shouldnt do much, but zapping it while it is functioning could be worse.
80’s electronics was awful... I nearly hit my electronics instructor in the face with a robotic arm... I told him we had a problem with the arm going bonkers... He tried it and it worked fine... I just reached across and touched the cpu socked and the robot arm swung across and missed his face by millimetres as he leaned back. It only threw a wobbly whenever I was touching it.
U r awesome sir... Love from india❤️
Now i know which ram i suppose to buy
A man and a boy play with an intent to kill
The thing is, most of electronics today are made more tougher against ESD. If the ram they are tying to kill is a SD Ram or a an old DDR1, it will be dead
Watching 2 men trying to kill a ram 🙄 amazing
Moral of the story, you *shouldn’t* try it but you *can* if you want
I cant tell you how many MOSFETS I killed as a kid from improper static precautions.
they touched the hardware
You had a lot of fun with ESD, try LSD next
Finally someone greater than linus #
I love your videos. But please stop recommending that buffoon. He doesn't need recommendations in the first place because youtube already does that. The bloody algo kept popping his stupid videos even though never liked any of them and kept clicking "not interested" for years. Finally we got the option to "don't recommend this channel" and then here you go at it. -_- /unsub /dl
Wile E Coyote and Bugs Bunny team up to defeat the Road Runner
HOPE ELECTROBOOM CAN NOTICE ME !
How about the magic wand
I love the idea, I need to see facial expression of Mehdi
Smart watch survived ?
THIS GUY IS GENIUS😀
Doesn't high voltage kill bacteria?
ElectroBOOM Why do we have to do this!! *Linus looks at his ElectroBOOMs' subscriber count; than his own* LTT: it's for the best.
take a look at my videos, It doesn't phase me much, I did it on the bleachers at Washougal High School.
Sadistic but very entertaining
9:38 Samir, you are braking the car
Excellent educational videos ElectroBoom keep them coming up. Great job.
When you were doing this, did your watch charge or not if not then why and if yes then how please i want to know.
The world's greatest crossover doesn't exi.....
Ey, Mehdi, didn't you forget that the Voltage might be slightly different value because of your body resistance?
I hate sponsors. just a waste of time in my opinion
Alternative title: Sadistic set of eyebrows shocks the hell out of tech CSworldr Also: Would you consider taking apart an old (thick) television? I was brought up with tales of "Don't touch the TV, you'll die because of the residual charge". Then I was a broke student who ripped copper out of other student's scrapped TV and never got that, at all. Until I ran across a TV someone unplugged, found broke and tossed out while I was watching and it was a bit of a shocking experience (although I admittedly failed to die from electrocution).
fucking made lad went all the way to linus just to shock him dry . respect
IT’S ALIVE!!!!!
Linus is smol
lol its looks like iranin guy
Sadistic X Masocist
x)
They should have run MemTest86 to verify...
Did anyone notice that nand gates fail on high current situation
Not high voltage
With great powers comes with high electricity bill
His much better explaining about the sponsor, i guess.
This video it sponsored by sesonic sesonic great power supply it good for great computer
3:23 Linus taking his revenge
Yeah, fantastic colab! Two great guys zapping RAM memory... well, maybe I should find some job for this afternoon. :p
UR EGYPTIAN RIGHT??!
Wanna trigger Electroboom? Tell him that you've found free energy
Best collab of all time 👌👌👌👌👌
Asylums bring this madman into custody he is danger to everyone
The ESD protection on most chips will easily clamp most discharges as long as the current is low. Too much current will burn out the ESD protection diodes inside the chips. Mehdi's body resistance is keeping the current low enough not to exceed those diodes' ratings.
Throw it in a bucket of water or smash it with a hammer! 😉
This brings back memories.
Ahhh you cheeky bastard lol...
Why Linus tech doesn't know many motherboard doest need RAM to spin the CPU fan 🙄
*Mehdi: I am going to borrow an ESD gun and SHOCK Linus,..I mean join him for testing.* 🤣🤣
i love this guy back
Okay, but what would I have to do to generate that kind of voltage in order to kill my RAM?
ElectroLINUS xD
Does your Watch still work hahaha
0:35 uh oh run run run run run run run run
Heatgun....has soon has I said that in my head you go get it hahaha
