Buying 10 x "Untested" GTX 1070s for ONLY $100 USD.... (Vlog)

[@techyescity]

I honestly wouldn't have even checked for a GTX 1070 until the parts hunt later this month, thanks for Brent for letting me know about this one!

[@cv507]

titan xps please... or 80 tis. im still ön 7titi vv

[@gedeuchnixan3830]

As a german I can confirm, acids like citrus or vinegar do attack corrosion and eat it away while vinegar works the best for all natural solutions. There´re even better options industry wise (cleaners for restaurants e.g) but I wouldn´t trust those regarding other parts, they might take rust of even better but also might kill other components. But even with vinegar be careful mate, metal only because I don´t know how the PCB and other components react to the acid and I would try that on something broken and not worth repairing anymore.

[@andrewzravenz2444]

Good find! But who stole the cooler shrouds from every single card?

[@chrisbutterfield7572]

As someone who uses vinegar to remove rust and corrosion you want to mix it with water about 50/50 and use it before the ultrasonic cleaning because vinegar is an acid and can damage the cards if left behind.

Can I have a GTX 1070 😢

[@uptechextreme2921]

This is the content I love to watch. This reminds me of the early days of the channel that got me hooked on watching. Back in the days of the $80 potato and Dunicron.

[@techyescity]

Ah man I will definitely hit some more vlogs in!

[@rogehmarbi]

Back in college I legit tried my hand on flipping PCs thanks to Tech Yes... Managed to earn some nice clean profit, at least for college era me... I loved the work, but the after sales service was a nightmare... Stopped after about a year of doing it, once the warranty period for the PCs I've sold run out. Learned a lot about building PCs, and made a few precious connections...

[@BarringtonRobinsonII]

​@@techyescity what happened to the video on the i7 920 machine you built a loooong time ago, I was building a 920 machine at the time and it helped . You mentioned in the vid about your boss being cool with you building it at work or something.

[@techyescity]

@@BarringtonRobinsonII OH man that is going back like nearly a decade now yeah? I would have flipped that machine, as the room I was going to use it in just didn't pan out, another teacher quickly organised a class in that room when I said I wanted to use it as a computer room to teach kids how to build pcs... sad

Australia: 10 gtx 1070s for $100, my country: a single GTX 970: 200$

[@techyescity]

Where abouts are you? That's a big ouch.

[@herlotz]

Yep, in Argentina one 1070 cost 200US

[@NANOTECHYT]

Don't feel too bad, as a fellow Aussie I can assure you that Brian just finds good deals that are abnormal. You're not going to find 10 GTX 1070s for that sort of price here on a regular basis. I mean more often than not, you're going to find idiots saying "I know what I have" on Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace with a single GTX 1080 for $300 and they simply won't be willing to negotiate.

[@bcraftr]

Yeah prices suck

[@b0ne91]

@@NANOTECHYT It's like that everywhere. But as someone who has found good deals similar to this, you need to basically live it as a second job. Spam F5, be the first to pick shit up. I used to go out during my lunch break to get good deals before anyone else could while WFH.

Untested doesn't necessarily mean UnYESSed!

Love content like this, rather than sending these to some landfill, you have given them a new purpose (Writing this from a PC that has a 1050ti )

The 1050ti is my go to motherboard and CPU "is it powereing on" because dose not need GPU power cables just mobo! ❤

[@TekTherapy]

What an excellent video! This is what we love to see!! Really think i should look at doing more part hustles again..

[@FastGPU]

Rust is not a good conductive path for electron flow,the exposed low voltages on a GPUs motherboard would not short out through rust on dust particles.

[@Reeper-x6x]

The conclusions some content creators jump are confounding.

[@wrathchild3581]

I absolutely love your videos when you do used parts hunts. It’s just crazy how you put electronics in water and get them working again!!

[@samserious1337]

You know why there are no good deals out there? Cuz Bryan snacked them all up :D

[@someasianguy8493]

Anything involving a potential bargain (even if there's a risk) and restoring rusty parts back to working condition is good content.

[@Jason-zh7wo]

Great to see this kind of content and that your gamble paid off 👍👍 another great deal 😀😀

[@spookytofu2078]

now that 9 of them work, maybe consider putting those vrm heatsinks back in? The vrm can be pretty garbage considering the very light heatsink, id reckon that isnt the only place they cost cut, and require the vrm heatsink to stay within operating temp. Might ensure longevity of the card for the end user.

[@myne00]

Yeah, frankly, that's a pretty big misstep to leave them off.

[@jshico3417]

$10 for rtx 3050 perfmance? that sure will get some nice budget PCs up and running

[@grizzlyindustries7593]

Love these kinds of videos Tech YES Man. Been soldering more PCBs as well. Have recently got an awesome job finally where I work on arcade machines. Doesn't pay much but I'm learning alot. So, watching you clean up the GTX 1070s and getting them working while both my brother and sister are running GTX 1070s. It's awesome. Hope everyone has a great day.

[@teaspoon966]

Great content man. The GPU lot videos were both absolute bangers.

[@stanclaus4065]

12:14 miss this kind of montage

[@myne00]

Invest in a multimeter, bro. Do the basic tests for shorts before plugging them in. Yes, the PSU should cut, and save the boards, but it's not a guarantee you won't smell the magic smoke. It only takes a few seconds to check - which will save the time of reassembly if you find it's short. Worth trying the vinegar in the ultrasonic bath too. The dead one... Is it code 43? Run mats/mods on it. Probably dead ram.

[@Paul-xs7ks]

Vinegar is good to remove rust and corrosion, but it is corrosive itself. Dilute the vinegar and don't leave it on for long. Good wash afterwards. Look for Adrian's digital basement youtube videos for computer restorations. The gear he restores is amazing. Really like your videos, saving gear is brilliant and so is price vs performance.

[@valuehunter5544]

Other than PNY which is a US company, all the other ones you mentioned are Chinese. Palit and Gainward are from the same company which is called Palit Group.

[@philip-scales]

About the vrm heatsinks, might want to look into getting some thermal putty like k5 pro, instead of thermal pads. Means you don't need to care about cutting pad, getting right size, etc etc. Just slap a few dollops on there, spread it out over the vram / vrms, and you're done. I've used it on my own GPUs as well as flipping pcs, no issues to report. The only negative might be people who don't know what it is thinking that it's "wrong", but someone who's buying a pre built pc is probs never going to open their GPU up anyway, and it works fine.

It is great to see these cards getting the Tech Yes Lovin! Before seeing if they would boot. Allot of times it is tempting to just test them and clean later. 9 out of 10 working is an outstanding outcome. !Cheers!!!

Solid gold! Love the deals and the effort of component resurrection. Keep it going! P.S. Try evaporust on the corrosion.

[@88-bit-tech]

Another great find mate! I found a massive crypto miner in sydney who has boxes of 1660 supers/ti's but they were looking way worse than these. I took one 1660 super that was the best I could find but 6 hours of (24 really if you count the white vinegar soak) cleaning and repasting and re-placing the pads. I'm really tempted to get the rest of it but they were charging ok pricing for used cards instead of really good pricing for heavily mined gpu's...

A good way for rust removal is also Boiling Water ~90Celcius and leave them there for around 16hours, works for old guns.

[@Eblackadder1982]

Used your code for my partner's win10, thanks. I know the kickback isn't much, but I appreciate it.

[@auswolf9507]

If the metal is stainless steel the vinegar will remove the shine the longer you keep the metal soaking. I used to polish cutlery with vinegar & water as a bartender/food and beverage. Even watered down it is corrosive. So probably a quick dump in vinegar & water and polish/dry might be the way to go.

I didn't catch what you were doing with WD-40. Do you have a video where that is shown in more detail?

[@rickardstrom9305]

Vinegar? Don't, vinegar is an acid and will affect the everything on the PCB, not the rust alone. I use vinegar for two things, cooking and cleaning pots.

People use vinegar to neutralize battery acid on retro computers, but other than that vinegar shouldn't be used on computer parts
