Ultra Budget Broken Gaming PC Challenge - EP.1

[@Classy_Car]

13:35 The reason the molex is plugged in backwards is so the fan will spin at about half of its normal speed. For those not familiar with molex, there is no speed control. Automatic 100%. My guess is that they did that because the noise was too loud yet temps were still fine at the lower fan speeds. This was ONLY fine with NON LED molex fans, as flipping it backwards would kill your rgb controller.

[@DynamoNED]

That case is the NZXT Source 210. It was my go-to budget mid-tower case to recommend during the era, and even though it's dated by modern standards, it's still solid.

[@ToastyBros]

It's always fun taking a look at older NZXT cases!

My initial build was picked up on FB marketplace for $250 5600G RX 6500 XT, 16 Gb 3200, 2 500 gig nvme. Basically a Lenovo T5, threw a $100 RX 6600 and its quality. Picked a 75 hz monitor for $20, also FB marketplace

[@LinuxHacker101]

[@chumbawumba1959]

The diff between that "broken fix up" at $360 versus a new budget build at $480 would suggest **WHY BOTHER** ... I have done the latter several times over last year and it is doable (and that is with Ryzen 4100, RX580, 512GB NVME, 16GB DDR4, etc.).

[@antssaar863]

Where I live, these fx machines are hard to sell even at 50-100eur as working (have load of these). For 200 could sell You i5 7400 + NZXT aio, 16gb ddr4, asus B150M pro gaming, 256Gb m2 ssd, gigabyte 1070 8gb, deepcool tempered glass RGB case with 4x RGB fans. Works like a charm. Sadly as i live in far corner of eu, posting it would cost probably as much as system itself :( Usualy local auction sites and forums are where You find deals. Just got asus ROG strix Z670E board for 46 eur and some Z170/270 boards around 13-15eur.

[@NYC-Potatoes]

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

i would expect that the FX-series would be better now because the software is better to support multi-core cpus and such.

[@Roflmfaoftw]

I remember the Phenom 2 era when i bought my (still in use) Noctua Nh-u12p from 2009. I could not mount it on the side becuase of the brackets that came, they only let you mount it up, then they released for free mounting brackets for the AMD cpu for mounting it normaly haha. I still use the cooler in my 6600k rig. (i even got those mount for free) based Noctua

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

You guys would of loved my AM3+ FX build. It was nearly the best of the best for AM3+ and FX cpu's. Just one upgrade away and the mb just up and died for no apparent reason.

[@broz666]

I like those kind of videos. But I'd like to see more of the fixing part of it. So maybe like put extra budget for every broken part described in the offer or something...

[@harmonj]

Next time try Lay-ups in instead of jumpers. :)

[@mi2595bs]

Sooo - I think it would be cool with some DIY videos, so ofc not making gpu etc from scratch. But Tower, or ways to take a broken laptop/phone and few tools to make it work again would be cool. Like a laptop could easily be salvaged if it's screen and back panel etc is destroyed and through a very cheap controller board be connected to a monitor, if the monitor have USB C, a converter can be used to achieve 1 power input for the whole, then it's just about making a case on the back of the panel. The fun would be if you were still blocked by the same means as a budget pc, i.e you have to find a broken laptop/phone or w.e on a budget (For people who wish to do it themself they would prob. have the laptop and monitor at home, where the laptop just broke) then a cheap monitor, with usb c if possible. Some converter boards which are very very cheap to get some connectivity between the two. Honestly, above might not be the 100% right way, it's just an example of a possible way. Cause that could be fun, and it could be great for people to learn how to fix up their broken stuff and make us throw less e waste away. :) There is ofc. some methods that would require soldering, but im 99.9% certain that with type of repairs like this you will be able to buy the converter boards and connect them directly without having to solder. Because i've done something close to it with a phone i converted to a laptop once xD for my sister. Also DIY really makes for insane insane content, and something that really get's a lot of clicks :D So IT + DIY should get some wild numbers as well. :)

[@DaneFA06]

I would love to see a similar video in the $700 range!

[@adams4075]

For the next challange. I with like to see shipping cost removed on the budget. I sent my friend a ryzen 5 1600AE with tower cooler, b350 and the RX 470. To purchase a power supply and case it would cost more to ship to me and then to him. So I sent parts and his other friend rebuild it.

[@Wushu-viking]

Good video. The AMD FX is old, slow but solid quality. But the old Intel X58 is in my experience still the best of the old platforms. Can top Sandy Bridge LGA1155, especially if you put in a cheap Xeon 6c/12t CPU. But even the old 4c/8t i7 models clocked easily to around 3.5 GHz, paired with 12gigs DDR3-1600 @triple channel, gets though the lag mud pretty good (not high FPS, but few lags). Older platform, but Better than AMD FX. (DDR3-1600 @triple-channel increases bandwidth to be comparable to DDR4-2400 @dual-channel (and has lower latency), and many modern games utilize memory speed pretty good.

[@radradR0bot]

The 212 is the easiest cooler to mount. What are you on about?

[@ToastyBros]

you are crazy if you think the first gen mounting on the hyper 212 is good

[@punkbutler88]

I bought a PowerSpec pc with ani5 9400 and no graphics card on ebay for $150. Should have looked a little harder. Love your videos.

[@charliesretrocomputing]

That's actually pretty good (not a deal, but a normal price for those specs) just throw in a GPU and that's a great cheap PC!!

[@ToastyBros]

Definitely a luck of the draw kind of thing with the parts not working category. Maybe we'll spend a couple days looking for a good deal like that one after we get a budget for next episode!

[@BREEZYM6015]

My PC came without a PSU or storage and I paid $300. It ended up costing around $400 after adding the PSU and storage.

[@frandingofd4059]

Can you make a video making that pc better

[@bhgpharmacy3540]

whats the music used in ur videos?

[@sk0mi]

I like the idea for this video. Series will be nice 👌 If that is amd 990 chipset on the mobo, it should be able to support 64GB of ram, but since "regular" ddr3 doesn't come in 16gb sticks it should mean that you use the server memory. FX CPUs in combo with that mobo chipset (if it's actually 990) should be able to work fine with server ram. That's in theory, I never tried it since never had 64GB of ddr3 server ram so I can't confirm. If you have 16gb sticks of ddr3 server memory, you should def check it but just for "science" since I don't think there's much to be gained from 64gb ram. FX6300 can be OCed, has high enough max temp, it should...work 🤷‍♂️ Tbh idk what can you get from fx CPUs any more. Yes, they work, some people are obsessed - they just love them...games can be still played (not all ofc), older consoles emulators probably work great... Honestly I like you picked AMD FX instead od some Intel 2nd or 3rd gen computer, makes video more interesting 👏👌👍

Great video, but I think you seriously overpaid for the initial PC. I like the idea of the series, but maybe make it a competition between the two of you each building a PC and make a rule that you have to make the initial PC purchase at a lower budget, eg. the initial purchase has to be a max $200 and you have $100 or $150 for parts and upgrades to finish the PC with anything saved from buying the initial PC under $200 being added to the upgrade budget..

[@tekeagle2136]

Funny how this video showed up today. I have been planning on building a $1200 PC this summer. I found a "for parts" 7900XTX for $350 on Ebay and a "open box" Ryzen 9 7950X3d for $375, but someone else bought those while I was doing my finals. The seller said that the card powered on but displayed no signal. That sounds fixable, but unfortunately, I will have to keep looking.

Not to be an ass, but I'm struggling to figure out where the actual challenge was? The title specifies "Broken PC" but the PC wasn't remotely broken. Just because it was listed as "for parts" doesn't exactly count when the listing even detailed the PC worked last he checked. You didn't actually get a broken PC and fix it under a budget.
