Thanks for the support on this video :) I used Cyberpunk v1.04. Now there are tons of ways to tweak the game for slower PCs + CDPR has dropped updates to improve performance. I'm not sure if I'll end up trying those out in the future -- but I figured I would let y'all know. Hope y'all had a great Christmas!

You should give it another go using v1.06 utilizing these two nexus mods. www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/107 - www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/183 Set resolution to 1366x768, resolution scaling to 65, cap framerate to 30, disable async compute using config overhaul, and make sure AVX crash fix is turned on in the Cyber Engine Tweaks.

Can only speak for Germany, it's rare but it happens. Someone wanted to get rid of an old mystery machine that wasn't really running anymore and was dustier than what we saw in this video. Paid the guy 14 bucks for an i7 2600k (also had to fix the cooler), 650W Corsair PSU, GT610 GPU and an open case. Essentially needed a new cooler, case, RAM and SSD but still got a really good deal, especially with the PSU.

[@x7slim8x]

I have had success with a heat gun using Kapton tape and tinfoil over sensitive components as a protective buffer. I have done 8 cards total and had 6 come back and are still running up to 2 years later now. Never liked the oven method, I use a temperature probe (450° F is the sweet spot) and with the above mentioned method I can zero in on the die itself. This has saved me tons of money buying used dead "parts" cards for cheap potato rigs I then sell (how I make a living). Half a dozen rigs sold with refurbishment done to the GPUs using this method and not one warranty call to date.

[@BigHotSauceBoss69]

most people seem to not want to buy used electronics at all. the market for all these products is set up in a way so replacing your iphone, or your laptop, or your TV, or whatever product, continually get more affordable and easy and discourages people from taking the time and effort to learn how to fix them instead. It's also why most people opt out of the far superior DIY route to PCs and just buy a Dell or a console. We have these business models to blame for our consumer habits and the ridiculous amount of e-waste produced. Markets for these products understand that electronics are complicated and reduce all the work on the consumer end by selling weaker pre-built devices. That way there is always a sizeable upgrade in the works to the outdated product you literally just bought. You're always better off learning how and doing things yourself, and stretching your dollar, than trusting someone who is targeting you for profit...

My 7 year old daughters PC that I gave her for Christmas I literally pulled out of our local transfer stations scrap metal bin, in the rain. It's an old Am2+ socket Asus Mb, had an Am2 CPU, 6g of ddr2 ram, a 512mb 9800gt all in a really nice case. I dried it all out, cleaned the hell out of it and started working on it. I had an Am3 3.1ghz quad core on a shelf from my old rig, so I put that in and also had an extra 4g of ddr2 on a shelf,so I got it up to 10g of ddr2. I removed the power supply that was in the case," worked but was ugly" and put in a 600w modular power supply I had on a shelf. There was no hard drives, but I had several older small ones," used a 500g,a 300g and then a 200g as a boot drive". Everything worked very good as it was, but then Christmas day we went to the inlaws house and my brother in law had an r9 390 8g gpu that he said was trash so I got that too. Turns out the old r9 was simply under powered, and is working great in her PC. All in all, I have a total of 9 bucks invested in her PC," new thermal paste" ,it runs everything she wants to play," Minecraft, 7d2d and yonder currently", so she's happy as can be.

I have a similar situation to yours where an old x58 PC with an i7-930 and GTX 750ti was just collecting dust and practically thrown out. My friend traded it to me for my old 3DS and some other stuff I had, and I brought it home and fixed it. Turns out, it just needed a new cable for the 1200W PSU (they didn't have the right one that plugged into the wall) and a reinstall of windows (this one was corrupted, viruses maybe?) and I got it working. 12GB of RAM, a recycled X5675 from AliExpress (equivalent to the i7 4790 in terms of benchmarks) and an RX 580 (traded with a friend + $70 thrown in) and it is BASICALLY Cyberpunk recommended specs. x58 is such a GOD chipset when you already have the motherboard. Great video by the way, absolutely love your channel! P.S. if you ever make another video on the i7 930 (specifically this CPU) try overclocking it to 4.2 GHz like I did, you get some FUNNY results. (Games speed up and act differently, Black Ops III games that I hosted moved at double the speed)

I've revived a R9 270 video card using the "baking" method. I used parchment paper and created an envelope to contain any fumes it could give off. Card works and my oven was not harmed.

Love watching your videos. Yes, they are informative but your vibe makes them so calming and soothing 👍

[@GamerMGO]

Oz, Ive been watching your videos for a long time, and I'm pretty impressed with how you've steadily gotten better at content.

I should be focused on your technical acumen, but I just love your calm delivery.

I found a computer several months ago at the dump with the same Coolermaster v8 cooler on a Phenom II x6 1090t. The motherboard was a basket case that took a lot of work to get running, it had some corrosive substance splashed across the RAM slots that required neutralizing and repairing of trace and component damage, but it eventually came alive and worked.

Here I am in 2022 STILL using that same HAF case (w/ x58 Asus mobo) I bought new in 2010! LOTS of upgrades along the way, but it still serves my needs.

BROTHER, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY UNDERRATED! OUR HOUSEHOLD LOVES YOUR VIDEOS AND I'M ALWAYS SHARING THEM!!! KEEP THEM COMING AND HAPPY 2021!

*WARNING ABOUT REFLOWING CARDS USING THE OVEN/HAIRDRYER METHOD* If you're looking to just get a gpu working for testing, in an emergency situation, or for just fun and experimentation, then heating up the card to reflow it is absolutely fine. The problem is that if you're actually trying to recover an old card for selling a computer or giving it to someone, then reflowing is absolutely _not_ something you should ever do. The idea behind it is that when you reflow a card all you're doing is heating up the solder balls inside the gpu itself and more or less relying on luck to try and repair any broken or shorting connections inside. The important part of this is that instead of just heating up the solder, you're heating up the _entire_ die which causes even more damage very quickly. Moreover, you're relying on the now-flowed solder to not spill over and make a bad connection of some other kind inside the gpu. Based on forums I've read and posts on places like reddit, these reflowed cards very rarely run past the one-month mark and some even die within a few days of the reflowing being done. Again, if you just want to see if you can get a card up and running for fun or in a case where there is literally no other option, then absolutely try baking your card and seeing if it works. However, and this is a big however, if you are planning on selling this card OR giving it to someone who plans to use it long term, then you are putting whoever receives the card in danger of losing it in a very quick manner. At best, you'll be giving them an unreliable product. At worst, it's a borderline scam just to save a few bucks.

Hey man i love that you give the computer to someone who doesn't have one that's awesome o remember my first pc it was life changing.

[@foxcrizone]

Thanks for inspiring me to be able to hope for the future. I felt as if my goals was not realistic because of my skin. But being able to see someone like me doing what i love is just amazing. Thanks a bunch cant wait to see what you do in the future!

The slowmo-looking-into-the-camera shot earned you a subscription from me sir.

[@killercat268]

Thanks for the fun and relaxing content :) Linus tech tips and Louis Rossmann did a video together. Louis explains that reflowing the solder actually does nothing. It's the thermal shock to the GPU core that temporarily brings it back from the dead.

[@OzTalksHW]

Did not know this. Thanks for the heads up!

[@NilsRatusznik]

Watching from my trusty X58 main desktop system. I'm so happy you could give life back to this computer !
