Refurbishing a Tired Old Ebay Gaming PC

Today we're cleaning up an aging AMD FX based gaming system that could do with a new lease of life. I'll be making a couple of cheap upgrades to this thing to see what sort of difference we can make on a restricted budget.

Absolutely, the first generation fx chips were a bit of a disaster but at least they were cheap, i used an fx 6100 for years and that multi core performance makes it pretty damn stable nowadays in comparison to other older chips with less cores like my other old pc with a dual core i3 2120, that one definitely didn't age as well

FX-8350 with Titan Xp here. My GPU has 12 GB Vram, but my system only has 8 GB RAM... If I use Linux, I can use Vram as system RAM, so I guess technically that helps me get to 20 GB total... yarg, you got me beaten in Chrome tabs!

[@jakegarrett8109]

Yuck Foutube The Titan at 4k is incredibly slow and underwhelming. My main system is over 2x the FPS of what the Titan was capable of (TR-1950x and quad Fury). I would have put it on my Ryzen 1700 test bench, but meh... I’m also doing long term testing on insulation/waterproofing for phase cooling. FX-8350 at 1.7 Vcore is still below 0c core temps full load (-35c block temps under load, -60c idle), and if something happens (I’m testing pin rust in particular, socket is packed with Vaseline, thermal paste or dielectric grease is the typical recommendation for CPU moisture proofing), then I’d rather it mess up a worthless old FX. And since any CPU is basically fast enough for the Titan, might as well put one of my highest heatload chips on it to get greater temperature swings. The Titan was alright for this project (it’s actually like 3x louder than my compressor, yikes!). I basically just needed a “meh” quality GPU for the system that could do good enough in less demanding games that I’d get more useage on this experiment and testing platform, and the Titan was long retired anyways since it’s not really fast enough for 4k gaming, so it was available as the test card.

I've sold my old PC and replaced the Phenom II in it with an FX 6300 and overclocked it to 4.3 GHz. Surely not the best CPU, but fast enough for most titles. In another PC I've coupled a 8350 @4.8GHz (it does 5GHz, but the cooler can't handle 5) with an GTX1080 and this thing is still a really good gaming machine. Maybe it would be somewhat faster with a modern cpu, but it takes the witcher 3 at 1080p to around a 80 to 100 fps. So i'm ok with that. Even if it's not beating the i7 7700k. I should really sell some of my old Hardware 🙈

[@DigBipper188]

As someone who has bult many a PGA462 AMD rig (Athlon XP3200+ and Sempron mainly) I'll attest to how much of a pain their heatsinks used to be to install.. You literally had to use a screwdriver to push the locking latch into its designated place on the socket. It required a metric ass tonne of force and there's a damn good chance if you're not careful, you'll put a hole in the mainboard. With PGA939 and onward they changed the latch system because of the smaller, more densely pinned sockets and with that they became way easier to install.

[@TheGyuuula]

The weakness of the FX line was the feature, which was supposed to be it's selling point: the Clustered Multi-threading. If a game/software was optimized for it, it performed quite well. If it was not however... the software force two float-heavy thread (rendering, usually) on a single module, competing for an already weak FPU (Floating Point Unit). It will also introduce latency, as the module's FPU scheduler have to switch back and forth between the two thread. In games, it will tank the FPS and cause stuttering. In synthetic tests and optimized games, the FX performs really, REALLY well, but a badly ported game will stutter out like hell.

Good idea to buy brushes for dusting harder-to-reach areas. And optionally multi-purpose spray (electronics-compatible). Tech Yes City recommends it. Minimum I'd recommend for a _pleasant_ minimum experience: - Older Intel Core i5+ or newer Core i3+, AMD any Ryzen. - 8+GB DDR3+ RAM (2+channel). - 2+GB G/DDR5 GPU for 45+ FPS minimum gaming (Crysis maybe 30+). - SATA 3/SAS/M.2 SSD for games (at least for largest capacity games). - 720p native for extreme-resource games, 900p native for mixed-resource games, 1080p native for less-resource games. For older PC(s) you're keeping: - Optionally mod case by removing unneeded drive bays (drill out 'rivets'?). - Optionally paint fully or in parts (can tape certain areas for even-more custom graphic/design). - Optionally add anime/cartoon stickers. - Optionally change cables for better ones. Like UV-colored SATA or thin/sleeved IDE. - Optionally add LED lighting fans/strips. - Optionally drill extra holes for cooling (can use tape to 'map out' where to drill, like sideways or all sides). - DO change PSU for efficient one to save money, lower heat and noise!

I *hate* the AMD way to lock the heatsink in place. The lever to lock-unlock *always* breaks after some time.

[@dyter424]

Nothing can be worse than Intel's LGA775 push-pin system. Those things are evil.

[@SummonerArthur]

@@dyter424 nah, you can get used to those and they will stop breaking. But that lever, no matter what you do, it will break.

Any one else wants to see a fx8350 review? Or am I the only one? 😂

[@1pcfred]

You won't see it on that motherboard. It only supports up to a FX 8300

[@Bryanonanisland]

great channel bro and hope my channel can grow as much as yours someday ! love how you take some of these old systems and turn them into something modern with gaming capabilities ! keep creating !

[@Brian_Buckley]

Wow, great timing! I just bought a turd of an FX-4100 for $85us upgraded the RAM to 8gb(from 4) and added an RX 560d 2gb OEM gpu(from the vennerable 6850 1gb), and a 120gb ssD. Boot drive. So I am technically in to this machine 122$ I hope to flip it for at least $225.....wish me luck.

'a vast improvement over what we would have seen with no GPU' - we would have seen a black screen and a VGA debug LED and heard the corresponding beep...

[@RandomGaminginHD]

Exactly haha

[@lewisd56]

@@RandomGaminginHD don't know though, the black screen would have been running at the monitor's native refresh rate (if it was on), which is higher FPS than you got gaming, sometimes FPS must always come first, even if it means compromising on quality :)

I am using a ebay combo FX6100+MB+6Gb ram right now, speed set to 3.8 Ghz (to save power it go down to 1.4 in idle), it can reach 4.1 Ghz with turbo in a couple of cores, but I prefer the "fixed" 3.8 to avoid any core going below 3 Ghz while in use. But my GPU is a GTX650 1Gb, so the bottleneck is always the GPU in the Vram side or the gpu power itself.

I just recently tried to get things running on a old FX 6300. I paired it with a GTX 750ti from Asus I had lying around.

[@EpicGaming1414]

My first gaming pc had an fx8150 clocked at 4.1ghz with a gt1030 12gbddr3 triple channel lol i traded a ps4 slim for it and I was the happiest person alive lol now I run a RYZEN 2700x with an rtx2080 32gb ddr4 trident Z gskill at 2933mhz lol all with in a year or so

[@dodgydruid]

I think the mobo would hold that Hexa back as well, just from personal experience I have found GA boards just a leetle bit clunky compared to Asus or Asrock boards more too in that driver support seems to end quite quickly on the GA boards, one of my PC's has the UD3P variant and a 6300 Hexa running 16gb of quite good DDR3 and does cope quite well if I was to put all that into my Extreme4 board but the EX4 board seems to have just faster throughput on everything than the GA UD3P. I got an eight corer in the EX4 and does what I need it to do

Make a video about pairing 1st Gen Intel CPUs with the latest GPU's(like the GTX 1660) bottlenecking.

[@thesilentcryptographer]

Zadicus I7 870 Lynnfield here, bottlenecks a GTX 1050 ti in CPU bound games, but overall a very playable 60 FPS experience at 1080p

[@shreyasr7469]

@@thesilentcryptographer 1050 is 3 years lol, but what about the 1660?

[@thesilentcryptographer]

Zadicus What I’m saying is that if it bottlenecks a 1050ti then it will easily bottleneck a 1660

[@shreyasr7469]

@@thesilentcryptographer ohh okay, is the 1660 even compatible with the mobo?

PC that I fixed up seems like somewhat of a capable gaming PC as well, has an AMD Phenom x4 9650 quad core CPU with 4 gb ddr2 ram and an Nvidia GTX 285 with an Intel 330 series 180 gb ssd.

My current system is a fx6100 with a hd7770 and 8gb of ram. It works great for normal office work and other productivity. Games work okish. One older strategy game I play on occasion is really hard for the cpu (faf). An upgrade to a ryzen system is on the wish list and coming closer by the month.
