Upgrading Your Store Bought PC Can Be a GAME CHANGER
🎮💻 Welcome to the ultimate "Dad to the Rescue" upgrade adventure! In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the world of PC upgrades-because let’s be honest, your son’s idea of “tech support” is just asking Siri to fix his gaming rig. 😂

Watch as I guide you through each step, complete with dad jokes and maybe a few eye rolls. By the end of this video, not only will his PC be upgraded, but he might actually learn a thing or two-if he’s not too busy scrolling through TikTok! 😂🔧

A Must Buy? Anker 250W 27650mAh Prime Power Bank
What do you mean by Power cycle. Im having this issue with it going offline when i put ap setting on and ive tried everything i can think of and still getting the issue 😡
By power cycle I mean flick it off and on at the wall, I’ve never had a single issue with mine going offline. Couple of things to consider is the WiFi signal in the kitchen or if you have a faulty washer worth contacting Samsung especially if under its 5 year warranty
So I’ve been debating buying the desk for a while now and this is the video I’ve been looking for, one of the best to watch and very in depth, I will be buying the xl version for my set up so hopefully everything goes smooth, thank you 💯
Thanks for the feedback and enjoy your new desk when it arrives I have an affiliate link in the description where I would receive a very small kick back if used so thanks

The main problem with pre-built/store bought PC's usually is the motherboard. They are not designed for 'future proofing' because they obviously want you to buy another PC in 2 to 3 years time. I know you are referring to pre-built PC's that are now a couple of years old, but I think it's important to note that anyone planning on buying a pre-built PC at this current point in time (October 2024), or planning on upgrading a PC that is a couple of years old, will be limited when/if they upgrade to the next gen GPU's early next year because the motherboard will very likely be PCIe 4.0 and the new GPU's are going to be PCIe 5.0. Yes, you can still connect a PCIe 5 GPU into a PCIe 4 slot, but you won't be getting the full bandwidth leading to less performance of what the GPU is capable of. And even though it can be somewhat rare, some of the pre-built PC's have motherboards made specifically for the pre-built, meaning the BIOS for the motherboard can be very limiting, so you will be very restricted in what CPU and Memory you can use. So yes, I totally agree that there is always the option to upgrade your pre-built PC, but I think it's important to understand that pre-built PC's are built in a specific way to limit the upgrade path. And not to mention 99% of manufacturers will void your warranty the moment you change a component (guaranteed to void your warranty if you go changing the PSU), so make sure your PC is out of its warranty period before doing anything to it. In saying all of that.. If you can upgrade, and the upgrade meets your needs and you're not too worried about the limited upgrade path, I say go for it!
Yes 100% valid points here
good video. But you need to work on zooming in on your screen.
Thanks deffo got better on new videos
I purchased the CPU you recommended and it’s too big for the socket 😢
It’s the same one I used you sure your using the exact same cpu and chassis
oh nice. it has addwash. cool.
Yeah used that a few times when I’ve forgotten to load something

“ what do we mean by supporting Bluetooth “ I’d say that’s pretty bloody self explanatory. Da

Anker has the absolute worse privacy policy I have ever read. My version has a blutooth feature that helps you find your unit if lost. I downloaded the app. I dont usually read privacy policies but my spidey senses were tingling so i did this time. It basically sais that you have no privacy at all, they will access any and all data on your phone (without exception) and sell it to whoever they choose. So, i still love the battery unit and charger base, but I deleted the app without agreeing to anal probe.
Good tip there never actually read it myself 😳
Thank you so much! It helps me a lot!!!!!!
The link to commands is not working =/
Yeah I need to fix that

If you use obs for example it can capture to an ssd no problem the capture device is just the interface
yeah thats for OBS. set your settings there to export to your SSD or any external drive
can i connect the front usbc of the one touch drive to my computer usbc or do i have to use the included usb3 cable?
You need to use the rear port of the hdd but you could get a cable to convert the usb a to c, you probably won’t impact the data transfer rate though

Hi can you please explain what it means by "with hub" as opposed to being without? I can't figure the difference. Thank ya
The hub just means it has a usb hub included so you can attach other usb devices
Oh okay excellent. Thank you
When selecting the UEFI storage as the local storage, this is recommended? I dont want spare files left behind if I delete the VM after testing. and also making sure I dont cause any other problems.
If you delete the vm totally it frees up the space to the best of my knowledge never seen it leave anything behind
Thank you for the reassurance! I tested and there were no issues. Though I didn't check for the remaining files after deleting a test machine, I trust the associated files were destroyed as stated.
Just returned to proxmox for a home lab/consolidation exercise and this is brilliant, I was using full OS templates and it was a pain. Thanks For this.
Thanks I’ll be following up on this soon with automation using terraform and ansible. I’m currently changing my home lab a bit so will video the process
@@ExpressITTechTips i have run in to an issue with the serial port bit, is there a way of reversing this out. If i reboot with the console screen open I get see the system boot, but if I drop from the console screen and back in I just get a message regarding the serial terminal. I have tried to use the qm terminal <id> but that doesn't seems to connect.
worth trying the proxmox gui to see if you can alter it there is a command to do it via the cli Ill see if i can find it
@@ExpressITTechTips No worries, I found if I set the Display option under the Hardware tab back to Default I can get the VNC console working again :D Happy Days. Thanks again and Iam looking forware to your new setup videos!
@@andybarr2406 that’s what I was going to suggest so glad it works
missing driver problem
Most likely related to some false positives and windows deleting items
The app is terrible. Every cycle takes 2-3hrs regardless of which cycle, even with half loads - stupid AI. Delayed End - doesn't even allow users to set a delayed End and turning off the machine (like a standby) - it has to be on (e.g. loading washing night before. And set it to be done before I go work the next morning).
Yeah they are some deffo real world gripes there I still love the delayed end really useful for getting up to washing in the morning
Does it have a drum light?
You know I’m not sure I’ll check in a bit but you just given me a great idea rgb washing machines makes them spin faster
Nope no drum light but it’s a mirror effect so it tends to reflect any light outside. If you stick your head in it like I just did you can see yourself 🤣
@@ExpressITTechTips Thank you.

horizon zero dawn, witcher3.. aren't these like pretty old games?
Yes I did say in the video it wouldn’t be fair to run the very latest on them at 4k. It’s like trying to run an electric car on AA batteries. There will be newer titles that run just fine I’m sure but these games are still played loads so gives it some context
hello, will you try it for the vgpu possibilities also?
Hadn’t actually considered it but that’s an interesting idea If I want to split that workload further may have a look at that
his voice: 10% volume the music while benchmarking: 1000% volume
Yeah I need to look at that seemed alright in post edits in davinci
ya is okay performance... if price A770 is 250$
shopping around you can most likely hit that price point
My experience was with 12900k a770: its ok until its not, like the new warhammer when it came out. Sold my entire desktop since someone offered good money for my 12900k to replace their broken 14700k and just use my framework 16 for now. as for which brand to go? its all down to price to performance really, here in the US I think used 3090s look really good right now microcenter sells them for $699, enough vram to last awhile while being cheaper than a 7900xtx or 4090, the 7900XT looks great as well seen it as low as $599 not sure whats a good price there just set a budget and buy whatever works better in what you play
24GBvram is not enough to "last a while" it will literally last 10 years atleast.
Yeah I’m tempted by the 4090 atm but really intrigued to see what happens hopefully next couple of months with 5000 series
Thx dude. Wish you luck.
Thanks, you too!
I believe there's also a way to enable email notifications and for password resetting, like to see that covered in the compose file stack.
waste of video time. Too bad. Sorry.
Plug Connection is confusing . No lights. U didn't show it unfortunately
How do you mean plugs into mains then into device
Thanks for this walkthrough! Is the link for the commands coming? (I get a page not found currently.)
Ah good spot I’ll get that fixed and let you know when it’s done away for a couple of days at the moment
Would this work on a Epson V600 scanner?
If the drivers available I don’t see why not
5:54 - no, you couldn't have captured it "right on the PC" unless you used intel QuickSync Video, as the RX 6400 lacks video encoding capability. I mean, that's an option, though. QSV doesn't look as nice as NVENC, but it'll work. It would have avoided the lag that an external encoder introduces, and would have created minimal load (if any). IIRC it requires a monitor connection (a VGA or DP cable to your monitor will work, or maybe a dummy plug - the output doesn't really need to be utilized per se) to trick the system into enabling the iGPU in order for QSV to work. I ran my system like that so I could stream when I had a GT 1030 in it (which also lacks an encoder). All that being said, your Afterburner overlay is terrible; can barely see the FPS numbers the font is so tiny. Please customize it to something... better. Bigger. And the pixelation in your game capture is because you've got your capture device set to too low of a bitrate. I could see doing that if you're livestreaming and your upstream bandwidth is limited, so it doesn't overrun it. But this is obviously an offline production. What are you afraid of, burning storage? Not like it's not dirt cheap nowadays. Please, increase it, for the love of quality. Then you won't have to make excuses.
Thanks for the feedback
How come the video footage is crap in 4k, and you are saying it is good?
On the ps5 is that I had to upscale due to limitations on my laptop. The raw footage looks fine I think it was some of my encoding that dropped it down
I'm trying to buy this, but there's also 20TB, so is it okay to buy it?
Yeah nothing wrong with the 20tb
Thank you. I have one more question. Can I transfer the file from my phone to this hdd? My phone is galaxy..
Yeah as long as you connect the phone to a pc or Mac first
