Poorly packaged hardware - socket cleaning - new toy - RETRO Hardware

[@Korstre]

I read in a Plextor manual saying they've received hardware returns cushioned with buttered popcorn.

[@spacecy]

This video is pure gold. Thanks for uploading mate!

[@michalm2528]

Sorry to see that poor packaging like this :( I hope this hardware will works anyway :) I never understand person who's package , electronic parts like garbage. Great film like always, and i'm really looking forward ,to see film from use this solder/unsolder station in action :))) Greatings from Poland :)))

[@Pidalin]

or vice versa, some people pack it that I will destroy it while trying to unpack it, that's vice versa extreme 😀

[@alexviralata1356]

That way packaging omg! Some people truly are a "dirty toilet".

[@PixelPipes]

Seller: "Here's the thing you bought and also free money. Please leave positive feedback! :D"

[@RETROHardware]

This lot was for low price so I don't know reason :-)

[@AlexM-uh7sq]

😡 I get so much poorly packaged stuff it’s almost funny. Great job cleaning that socket!

[@juhasto91]

That asus 775 board and soldering station are two things that i would love to own. Some day i will have proper working/storage space

[@Uhrensohnable]

The cooler on the ABit NF7 is either the Thermalright SLK 800 or 900. Been looking for these for quite a while.

[@romanrm1]

16:33 I have same heatsinks, they aren't supposed to have fins grouped up like that... should be all spread evenly. Oh and then you got a Number Nine card, those are so cool.

[@RETROHardware]

Yep this needs repair to better position.

[@yanrinami6800]

é incrivel ver alguem guardando essas peças e maquinas incriveis da época são raridades lindas !

[@Ale.K7]

Nice haul! That Number Nine is beautiful. I look forward for the repair videos with the soldering/desoldering station! :D

[@pentiummmx2294]

i have that same number nine imagine 128, i found it at the thrift store. it works too.

[@WouterVerbruggen]

14:00 that's a Keithley DAS-1601 data acquisition board (oscilloscope), got the same one from an old lab PC. Cool stuff, very high tech lab equipment back in the day, that went for several hundreds of euros 25 years ago

[@RETROHardware]

Thanks for info. I have lot of similar unknown controllers in box without stuff around or software, just for watching.

[@math3390]

This is real treasure, thank you.

[@johanneslinde4437]

Great and interesting video, It's a pretty good desoldering station you got, I have the smaller version with only a desoldering gun and it has been put to good use!. Had to get rid of lots of hardware, maybe 15 years ago due to space constraints. Some of the ISA cards look very familiar - maybe they made their way to you!

[@danthompsett2894]

what a great haul of retro hardware some real gems in there, the new in box voodoo rush cards WOW i mean ok not a well known brand but still how awesome is that, its a shame theres no SLi connector connection on those cards but geuss thats a rush thing.

[@Lordosvk]

ahoj prosim ta tie zvukove karty FX su neni na predaj? mal by som vazny zaujem. prosim napis. dikes.

[@azkaghifari8077]

Wow.. Asus rampage and maximus board was a beast.. even todad i still want to get my hand on it

[@euclideszoto997]

This is sad to watch. Hate to see poor packaging like that.

[@welliben]

Can I suggest recapping the caps around the memory on the right hand side of the board on the NF7 there (particularly the bigger one). Mine leaked after I got mine second hand and took out some tracks on the motherboard. The cap looked fine, but it was a bottom leaker!

[@eckorestore8739]

I love this channel and videos, but... The music.. I relaxed with the sound natural haha Great video any ^^

got the same cpu block on that water cooling think it's an alphacool nexxus good block too

It is beyond me that people honestly think this stuff is going to turn up undamaged.

that x2 might unlock to x3 or x4 with I think advanced clock calibration setting in the bios

That 9800 is fixable, just solder the parts back. :)

[@Those_Weirdos]

Oh my God, that "custom loop" on the first video card...

[@MsJinkerson]

great looking mobos

[@getroll2593]

The CPU on Abit s462 mobo was possible damage, while delivered

[@RETROHardware]

Maybe, I didn't have another sA CPU near my hand. Will try later again.

[@benrogersdevon]

I agree ☝️ The way that was “packed” is horrendous and a GPU probably got thrown onto the NF7 mobo and took the cap on the way! Also, I notice no north bridge chipset heatsink/fan, but could easily use an early socket 7 heatsink and use a small fan. Dab of mx2 or artic silver to create better heat dissipation

[@tassoss13]

19:00 I am pretty sure that is the same graphics card from my first PC

[@stornyband]

1:27 - GeForce 8800 Ultra. Neznal jsem nikoho z okolí, kdo by ji měl. :-) Velice vzácná a podle mého i nádherná karta.

[@Pidalin]

hlavně tyhle lepší karty z 8000 řady hrozně umíraly a najít nějakou funkční je dost těžký, pamatuju si tak v roce 2006 jak jsem poprvé četl o 8800 Ultra v nějakym časáku (asi v Chipu nebo v Computery) a úplně jsem nad tim slintal a řikal jsem si že něco takovýho si asi nikdy nekoupim 😀

[@stornyband]

@@Pidalin Já si také vzpomínám, když jsem poprvé slyšel o těchto kartách. Tenkrát mi v počítači šlapala FX5200 s Athlonem 1800+ . Po škole jsme jezdili do tehdy ještě malé alzy obdivovat vystavený počítač se dvěmi 8800GTX. Celý den na tom běžela nějaká simulace akvária s kuličkama a když jsme viděli, kolik se tam toho na té scéně hejbe a jak se to leskne, tak jsme si jen představovali, co jednou bude možné udělat.. :-) Přičemž celá ta sestava byla postavená v nějakém dobovém, úplně monstrózním bigToweru, který úhledně svítil a poměrně značně topil. :D

[@Pidalin]

@@stornyband Jo no, je to skoro 20 let a průměrná hra vypadá skoro stejně jako Crysis z roku 2007, ale chce 10x výkonnější grafiku úplně bezdůvodně. 😀

8:51 pro pro pro tip for removing Heat paste plugs from Cpu socket.. You know the Solder Sucker tool.. the spring loaded one.. GET ONE of those "hit plug with alcohol.. let liquidize for 5 sec.. and Hit it with the solder sucker.. guaranteed non evasive removal of plugs. guaranteed.

14:30 new way to donate when internet not working lol:)))

[@martinborovansky5186]

Heh. I actually considered bidding on some of the items you ended up with. Now I'm kinda glad I didn't :D

[@homelessEh]

hows the Abit brand..its abit crap..

[@Pidalin]

I bought a lot of old HW and sometimes I am really shocked how stupid some sellers are. I believe that some of them just steal that HW at some scrap yards and they just pull it out of case by using force, it's really sad to see hardware in such condition. The most ridiculous thing for me was motherboard wrapped up in strach foil, all pins were stabbed into that foil and I was not able to unpack it and not bend any pins, there was too many layers of that stupid foil, it would take whole day to unpack it more carefully. Or other seller, foil again, but he used that foil under some painting where he sprayed something with black color and ofcourse because of warm weather, that painting dried up and cracked and it everything fell directly on that hardware. Sometimes I buy some retro HW, open the box and start just yelling about what idiot packed that. 😀 Some things are really weird and I don't understand why they do that, like they send you MB with no CMOS battery, ofcourse I have them and it's not a problem, but it just puts a bad light on that seller, when I sell MB, I always put new battery there or at least I let that old one when it's still ok. Or some HW which is totaly dirty or when you buy only CPU and it's covered by some stoned old paste. I really don't get this, they sell a CPU and they are not able at least invest 3 minutes to clean it? I just don't understand it. I have list of sellers on paper with people doing this and I will not buy anything from them again, or only in emergency case when I can't find it from someone else. I just don't understand this behavior, when I sell something, I want to make it as clean and good looking as it's possible, just sell CPU covered by old stoned paste is just.....I don't know, I don't get it. I just a few weeks ago, I bought socket 478 MB with some Celeron D installed and one pin was bended out of socket and it was pressed by cooler like that, I just don't get it, these people must be totaly blind or they just don't know what they sell. I can somehow tolerate it when it was for 10 eur with no guaranty that it will work, but it can happen to you even with pretty expensive HW.

for better cooling😂

[@trueno489]

crack de la Argentina 👍👍

[@foxxy46213]

dnt think you got the mounting hardware for it either. it's a weird set up as well it has a frame that mounts to the mobo an a screw from the top of the frame that screws dwn on too the cpu. an it's ez to over tighten. killed a quad core 6800 core 2 extreme doing that. whoops

[@HuntersMoon78]

That is some seriously shameful packaging.

[@homelessEh]

1:14 also why i hate water cooling given its maitanence intensive and expencive the mentality behind water cooling people is throw money at it to make it go away vs. work to fix it. so you end up with videocard messes like this on the market....

LOL @ that cashback, wat.

5 eur for the future damages? Not that much...

if it is delivered with dhl it has to be used so that howls arrive they are known for throwing everything against them.

you gonna need hot air station immo

In 90% I need caps changing or repairing (classic or SMD). This station will be good for this job. Hot air station can be fine too in future.

If you talked about the hardware, when you are pulling it out, with some type of excitement, it would be far more entertaining, IMO. Just playing that horrible music, isn't doing it, for me. I'm just giving you honest feedback, on what I believe would be helpful. I'm taking my time, to help, not hurt, your channel grow. Maybe my advice is counterproductive? IDK, you be the judge!
