I like this style of vid

[@TheBlueBunnyKen]

Awesome you starting to get companies sending you stuff, that's a plus so you don't have to spend on everything

[@FreshToasted]

Nice vid, just wish they were a bit longer :) (also what gpu would u pair with a ryzen 5 2600)

[@ElijahsLab]

​@@FreshToasted (for a flip) I would pair that cpu w/ a 1070/ 1660

[@AlexisSanchez-lr1ro]

i have a question to ask you do you think a ryzen 5 5500 and rx 5700 xt for 430 dollars is good and also what would you sell it for

[@JokaGaming2K10]

Elijah: Warzone Suks Meanwhile... Also Elijah: I love Warzone

[@ElijahsLab]

Lmao, yeah warzone sucks.. but resurgence is fun

[@seapick9123]

Go to Control Panel then go to Power Options Choose what the power buttons do also Change settings that are currently unavailable and uncheck the box next to Turn on fast startup.

[@jonathanparker123]

I also had this problem on one of my flips and this ^^ fixed it

[@Macky20z]

Yea I had this problem with my first PC build and this was the issue. I had to go into my power button settings.

[@kirkmanalo1429]

might be the power supply when you turn it off again try to switch the power supply off and see if it like tries to click back to life had this problem with my psu as it caused my system to have constant power going through it

[@captaincavman9746]

I agree, I bought an older cyberpower prebuilt (had an evga 600W Bronze) to gut for some parts and it had this issue, seller told me he had to shut off the PSU, I swapped the PSU and it worked fine.

Hunter Smith is the Goat! Big shout out to Danny!! You’re awesome. Can’t wait for the next episode to to see wha the problem was.

[@weakness000]

you know it's a good day when elijah posts

[@voteDC]

I've used a Zalman H1 case for almost 10 years now. It's absolutely massive and had held generations of PC hardware since I got it.

[@xdpoleeng8331]

14:00 Try disabling fast boot on both BIOS and/or Windows settings. Hopefully this helps

[@Adam-Mei]

I had a Musetex GO7 case I had to put black tape on some wires on the wiring harness because it would short back on barely noticeable right under the power button. Then the Power option could be the culprit too.

[@tdpugzadams]

respect the grind Elijah

[@linuskvarndal8212]

Zalman has been around forever!!! you should check out the Z1 iceberg and i3 A-RGB cases!

[@Krizsokomputerz]

I think the reset cable might be bad or the 2 pin on the mobo. Try shutting döwn with the reset cable unplugged. Had similar issue with a pc.

[@KindaFishyDuo]

Also keep up the good work this is so W to watch I really want a pc so bad

[@McStubby74]

I found your channel yesterday and binged season 1 and 2, I have really enjoyed it so far, keep up the good work!

[@ElijahsLab]

Thats awesome to hear! New episode for season 2 is dropping this week👀

[@PuzzleGoesApe]

Alright E man im gonna need some longer episodes to binge and build my pcs to xD all love bro keep grinding im proud of you!

[@ElijahsLab]

Hopefully a longer episode next time 🤝🏼

[@outcitys]

Bro bring hella consistent lately

[@Taaktyk]

14:20 There is a shortage between two pins on the motherboard which is responsible for power on button, maybe pcb is somewhat broken or track is shortened

[@Mister_Unnoticed]

I thought i was the only seller on facebook who just gets left on read after the buyer asks if its available

[@flowOnValorant]

Nice build mate I build my pc in March thanks to your videos ❤

[@TheKingMig]

Hunter Smith is the GOAT!!

[@egorkin91]

A friend of mine had a same problem - it turned out one of the fans which was connected via Moley was forbidding the PSU to shut off. So try unplugging every part - could be SATA RGB Controller, for example.

[@AlexHusTech]

Seems like market hasn't slowed down in your area, lucky guy.

[@ElijahsLab]

It has but it hasn’t at the same time You just have to list enough builds and they will sell but some will still sit (have 1 rn that’s been for sale atleast a month)

[@Reckless150681]

Zalman is an old brand, super popular in the early 00s. They've faded a bit into obscurity recently but seem to be making a bit of a comeback

[@ElijahsLab]

Thanks for some info on them!

[@Limeosaur]

I love zalman cases. In my personal rig I'm rocking the Zalman z1 Iceberg and its a very cool white case.

[@JackyYBT]

His name is Hunter Smith. Hunter Smith is the Goat.

[@ominae1]

Maybe check in the BIOS the power on options.

[@brianmillington5024]

In bios, enable 'erp' and goto power setting and in control manger and select 'balanced' as the power plan. Either moght work. Iv had this issue before and this has sorted it

[@callmepotts]

Hunter Smith is the goat! Always doin the most

[@jacksonbtb571]

I had an older power supply that wouldn't let me power off the pc like yours. It sucks but you just gotta replace the PSU. That old antec might be ok if its paired with an older motherboard, sometimes newer power/sleep states trip up PSUs that were made prior to 2014 or so.

[@majbt45]

I LOVE YOUR CONTENT, GOOD LIKE ON YOU PC FLIPPING ADVENTURES.

[@Y2_games]

You helped me quit my addictions❤

[@steamedbarf]

I had that exact same issue with one of my pcs. The way I fixed it was I had to completely swap out the GPU. Then it worked just fine. The gpu that I took out also worked fine in another build so everything should work out fine.

[@yukiskyhawk101]

It's something with the power settings

[@Jarmo928]

I have used many zalman cases, perfect cases for a flip :-)

[@valentinkasper1339]

I dont know exactly what it is called, but there are some Settings in the Bios which causes the problem or try updating the Bios. I had the same issue already 2 times and both of these worked.

[@Vicshade]

Hunter smith is indeed the goat

[@charliesretrocomputing]

Hunter Smith is the GOAT!

[@kb1118tech]

Dude try without the sleeved cables first, if that isn't working swap PSUs. I've also seen a case just being haunted by Elma where everything works fine outside the case but once you put it in it starts having issues. Love the content man keep it coming 🫶

[@Ngtx711]

Your videos made me start flipping pcs and I got all the parts for my first flip yesterday

[@ElijahsLab]

That's awesome!

[@OceansAteSky]

@Ekuhags Lab there is a setting in the bios where the PC well turn on, on power loss resert the bios and it should fix it if that is the case. its normally called Restore AC Power Loss it is probably undewr APM config. And if it is not that I would then check the PSU sometimes the PSU forces the computer back on.

[@recken4569]

Didn’t think I would be asking this before lol but what’s your build for the Superi 46? Looks like it’s hitting

How do you go about getting coloured cables? I was told you have to use the cables supplied with the PSU.

[@InTheTree]

I love how bro a couple episodes ago used to hate COD

[@ElijahsLab]

Lmaoooo.. resurgence is fun

[@MultiVideoguy1]

Format all drives, and update drivers.

[@RealitySetsIn]

I have a high-end Intel/Nvidia system that I built in a budget Zalman case that's all-black and has 2 side fans as well as the 3 front and 1 back, and a 360 AIO on top with push/pull and it's super nice and professional looking. Good case suprisingly.

Sounds like a pretty sweet system

[@bulldozerfx621]

@@speedie6127that'll require swapping the motherboard assuming they already have the parts. but if not yeah 3600 better cuz cheaper

What is the screw driver you using

[@xtremezone987]

Super annoying when someone ghosts you on FB Marketplace. Communication goes well for 2 or 3 replies then nothing ? Like WTF !?! Just had it happened to me about a motherboard. Just tell me you changed your mind or your busy etc. It's not that hard to type something to let the other person know what's going on. You just have to move on in the end. Can't wait around forever. Tech moves fast. Speaking of the Montech Air 100 RGB, I just bought that case today to do my first modern build. Haven't built a PC from scratch in over 20 years but since my other hobbies are getting too expensive I figured I could try this out again with modern tech. I know the basic upgrading (RAM, SSD, GPU etc.). It's basically the wiring the PSU to the motherboard that I'll need help with but their are plenty of tutorial videos here on YT for that. Thanks again for sharing all your vids & motivating me to try again :)

[@NowThatsPCGaming]

Just a heads up, The price the 2700x/3070 is absolutely fair, but the 2700x will severely bottleneck the 3070, even at 1440p. Even a 3700x will bottleneck the 3070 to a degree, depending on the game. I would highly recommend not paring a 3070 with anything less then 3700x or above.

[@RobertFixit]

White definitely sells

[@ChrisKadaver]

Damn you're young. Never heard of Zalman?! 🧐

[@Arandomshortcreator]

Hey Elijah! I am an up and coming pc flipper, and I was wondering the method you use to install windows for all of your flips. Do you just install it normally, or is there a specific way that you have to do it? It would be super helpful if you could respond, thanks!

Is the i5 3470 a good cpu to use for flipping pcs, if yes what gpu should I pair with it?

[@ElijahsLab]

I’m going to make a yt short answering this as well for the budget ballers but I would pair that with cards like the 1050ti, rx 570 Or older like the gtx 970 but I wouldn’t go older than what I recommended

Hey so I want to start flipping PCs. But I live in a big tourist attraction area so there aren’t many used items near me. I do see that people sell their PCs so would it be better if I bought everything new and sold it there or would I not get any profit doing that?
