Haven't watched your vids since you were at around 80k just due to loss of interest in PCs for a while but wow man. Congrats on 500k, keep up the awesome content.
This is why I love your videos over Jay and Linus Tech and other tech shows... you make magic out of perfectly good older equipment. Good shit brother!
Love this kind of video, great to see something being restored to what would be of great value to someone! I wonder, is there a reason we don’t tend to get as many “Parts Hunt Build” videos? Do you prefer to keep these under wraps?
As soon as I noticed the triple ram slots I was like "He's got an x58" then you said it was an x58 and it made my day! Haven't seen those triple ram slots in years!
Tech YES BANGER; love it! THIS is what we want, not the new sponsored stuff we can never buy! More garbage to greatness, more former "e-waste" to EXTREME POWER! There's life still in the old parts yet!
I live in a unit here in Sydney NSW. It's quite a large complex and we have council cleanups twice a year. As a result there is often HUGE piles of rubbish dumped out the front. It honestly amazes me what people throw out. I snagged a working first gen i7 pc a few years ago. Also snagged some gt 710s and even a 750ti once. Unfortunately, it's getting rarer to find old pcs on the roadside because the bloody council has banned putting computers out on the cleanup anymore. You are now supposed to take them to a special 'ewaste' collection point. Council rates increase yet the services decrease :/ The last cleanup we had only 1 person broke the rule and put out a pc this time. But it was some old pentium 4 garbage with no ram or HDD.
Great find and great video. I am so glad I got my RX 570 8GB OC on sale in early 2020 for my upgraded Dell Precision T1600 just before the first lockdowns. I paid 200 Canadian which is usually on par with the Aussie dollar. Now the same video card is more than double that. Absolutely nuts.
I just recently start watching your channel thank you for all your good advice and tips I do the same thing to make a living and I really enjoy it . I found to computers on the side of the road and have been able to restore both of the them.
I bought one of those motherboards for 40aud as a “not working”... reset the bios and it booted first shot. It lives as my gtx960 turbo of 4gb sli 20gbram junker pc! The power supply and boot drive(120gb patriot inferno) were also on the side of the road.... the ssd had windows 7 that I upgraded to w10 free. Love the junker pc and the tower I put it in supports hot swapping . Great boards those udr3 x58 boards.
I would've loved to see your immediate reaction when you saw the PC on the road. I just can imagine a car casually going by and then suddenly, 'hits brakes and puts it into reverse'.
Guess I gotta get into this roadside pickup stuff. My dad always got things like lawnmowers and leaf blowers off the road and fixed em up. Time to find a pc!
I remember at my old apartment complex I never really extra money for projects. One day taking the trash out to the community garbage dump, I found some old pc that had extra ddr2 ram that I used to run a small q6600 quad core machine. Grats on the find
I've never found a PC on the side of the road, but I have found a nearly new CRT TV with the remote here in the US before about a year after the digital switch over in early 09, but I do often find some good stuff at the local recycle drop off in the e-waste bin like working Apple Macbook Pros, fully working Amazon Kindles(they usually just need a battery), I3, and I5 HP desktops, etc... So yeah I love these kind of videos as I hate how much e-waste we as humans tend to create over the years, and love showing people that some of this older gear can still be very useful.
I just resurrected 2 Lenovo USFF PCs I found at my local thrift shop. I also found 20V 3.42A Lenovo power bricks locally, and all I had to do was add 240GB SSDs to both and they're zipping along nicely for being Pentiums. Already got a local interested in the one with WiFi built in, and the other one I chucked in some spare DDR3 I had spare to bring it up to 8GBs. Goof fun, and pleasing to see these little boxes saved from e-waste.
I just wanted to thank you for your videos. I picked up a Lenovo ThinkCentre PC for less than $50, and it came with an I5 4570 and 8gb ram. I upgraded the CPU to an I7 4790, added another 8gb ram, added to SSDs, and bought a used 1050 ti, and I love it! So thank you for your videos!!
Love the content. I also recently got a free pc which has an i3 4170, a 4gb stick of ddr3 ram, lenovo motherboard, cheap 200W power supply, and a 500gb HDD. I added an SSD another 4 GB stick of ram and a GT1030 and now I can play all low and some mid level games for around $175 U.S. Best deals right now are the kind where you find free old rigs and upgrade them with lower end components. Thanks again for inspiring me to find and upgrade low end pc's. It's fun and helps some kids in my local area
@@iliaslive7006 i have this gigabyte h55 motherboard in a computer, and it cannot recognize any SATA drives, no matter what I do. Only one SATA port kinda works.
Found one just like that during our recent council bulk waste collection but it had a 6850 1gb graphics card and the i7 950 with the same Gigabyte mobo! Have cleaned them but not tested yet. Also found a Fractal define R3 case ages ago with the sound damping to house it all in.
i wish i’d see more of these roadside pcs as i’m the sort of person to not use it for anything in particular, but more something for me to mess about with
@@michaelxdrift Actually used a 400W power supply on an i7 920 and gtx 1060 combo, but it was a quality PSU, FSP is in the TOP 3 best manufacturers in my experience, with seasonic and superflower. Don't worry I now have a 650W, but the 400W did work, still don't recommend it tho.
Interesting comments on GPU shortage. Up here in Canada (a bit off the beaten track, Aussie POV-wise, I realize), I paid $150 CDN for a GeForce GT 1030 2GB DDR5 and it was a real "deal" (for a card that realistically should have been about $70). When you throw in GST tax, shipping, etc., these cards end up being REALLY expensive... anything that will run modern games at a decent frame rate and resolution is unaffordable. Love the channel, mate! Keep up the good work!
What is the cleaner that you sprayed on the Aorus video card? I've got a few tech items at home that could probably use some new thermal paste and cleaning and I'd love to know what you use. Might I suggest a video on how to clean components properly with step by step instruction? That would go over huge.
That's a great find! The best I've gotten was a 500gb HD in a system (the system itself wasn't worth taking - Pentium IV, DDR RAM). I didn't have any tools but fortunately I was able to use one of the slot covers that was loose in the bottom of the case to take the drive cage out...
Nice job, man!! That's a decent rig considering the platform!! It always irks me when some rich kid throws away a perfectly good gaming rig just because one little thing doesn't work right or they messed with it, ruined it and asked their parents for a new one. I used to live near a big garbage dump and they had a section specifically for PCs and PC parts. I would pull so much working stuff out of that pile it wasn't even funny. One example was a rig that was perfectly fine except it had a dead video card and mismatched RAM (a 533 stick and a 667 stick). I bought a budget video card (Radeon HD 7750) and some Corsair RAM and got the thing up and running for about $250 USD. Ran well for years.
Finding discarded desktops in the wilderness sure could be useful in some way. If the parts from the inside are no good, just get rid of them and replace them with fresh, new, up-to-date parts. Only the desktop case matters to keep, not the old parts from its inside.
Many years ago (2005?) I was walking to Uni and passed a skip which had a computer case in it. After I finished up at uni, I walked past the same skip and it was still in there, so I fished it out. It had an AMD Duron, which even at the time was old, but it booted up no problem. I gave it to a friend along with an old monitor so she could do coursework at home. It's amazing what people will throw away.
I used to deliver newspapers. i had a tower that was about 4 cases wide all the way to the ceiling in my computer / gaming room lol. Most were way older, AGP days and stuff, but so many of them were surprisingly cool (MSI Dragon motherboard comes to mind; GTX 260 BFG edition) but I found stuff that was newer as well, DDR3 era stuff. One exciting find I got my hands on was an i7 870, that I overclocked to 3-point-something GHz. It was very hot but it was a beast for how old it was relatively and that was a couple years ago.
Seriously! I've been on TH-cam since the beginning.. and I've never noticed that bell, before you said it at the end of this video! xD Has it been there for ages.. or is it pretty new? :P Love your videos btw!
hi, i barely use x58 rig but i got some problem to install more than 2 sticks ram, do i have to set specific setting on bios in order to run more than 2 sticks ram since i have applied latest bios version on it?
I would have chucked in a xeon from aliexpress, the x58's still hold up very well in 2021 as you know. Still an amazing build for the money. There haven't been great gpu deals recently, you have to keep your eye open.
Yep GPU prices are insane, I upgraded my PC about 2 months ago and got a 3060 which was the only GPU I could find at the time, which was overpriced. Out of interest about a month later I decided to check what the price was and it had gone up $400 and this was from the same computer store where I got it.
I built a _banger_ out of parts I had lying around as a spare for my son simply to play Diablo 2... i7-930 + Corsair H80i AIO, Gigabyte X58 UD3, 12GB Corsair RAM, Galax GTX-970 SOC, 250GB Samsung SSD, 1TG Seagate HDD, Corsair CX 550 PSU & Lian Li PC-P50. Only thing I bought was a Silverstone PWM fan controller ($22) and keep all fan under the control of the H80i's liquid temperature.
A gigabyte x58 with an i7 and a GTS 250 seems eerily familiar! Mine, with a few sticks of ddr3, a w3680 from China and an RX580 8gig I rescued from a miner during last summer, got me through the 2nd wave of the pandemic like a champ!
I just resurrected a 3770K asrock extreme 4 with case with ssd, wifi, Noctua U 12S, and hard drive for grand daughter. I added a Nvidia 950 GPU I had and it runs like a top. Cleaned up the mobo and case well and it hums along pretty well. Ivy Bridge copes pretty well with modern day tasks.
To be great you must inspire , to inspire you must be great ..... And that you are doing sir! The Tech YES City way of life is basically how trying to make the most fun and a few $$ along the way and i get to do what i love build.fix,restore! Keep the video`s coming big shout out from across the pond from canada! I cant lay a screw driver or sata cable down now my youngest son takes off with them so its a good sign
Good find. I used to find some sort of tech in apartments dumpster once maybe every month. I live next to big semiconductor factory, they employ lots of people from all over, India and china. Large disposable incomes that get spent on tech. Once they are here long enough to buy a house or their VISA's are up, they move and throw everything away. Lots of good stuff, like new. Unfortunately the homeless population has exploded during the pandemic together with our lax'd drug laws, it has brought in a lot of new scavengers. I find nothing now or will at times get interrupted by a tweaker looking for anything he can pawn.
Was everything good with the temps on rx570? I noticed the thermal pads tore a little bit. I have change my paste one day on my Rx 580 think its been 3 years now. Its just a pain to find .75 mm thermal pads last time I looked for them.

One exciting find I got my hands on was an i7 870, that I overclocked to 3-point-something GHz. It was very hot but it was a beast for how old it was relatively and that was a couple years ago.
I haven't watched TYC for a while and I'm surprised how hyper is the energy now 😂
That song on the b roll is sick!
That's some good TechYes Lovin
Seriously!
I've been on TH-cam since the beginning.. and I've never noticed that bell, before you said it at the end of this video! xD
Has it been there for ages.. or is it pretty new? :P
Love your videos btw!
The notification bells have been around for years.
hi, i barely use x58 rig but i got some problem to install more than 2 sticks ram, do i have to set specific setting on bios in order to run more than 2 sticks ram since i have applied latest bios version on it?
This is such a good video. Thank you.
I would have chucked in a xeon from aliexpress, the x58's still hold up very well in 2021 as you know. Still an amazing build for the money. There haven't been great gpu deals recently, you have to keep your eye open.
Yep GPU prices are insane, I upgraded my PC about 2 months ago and got a 3060 which was the only GPU I could find at the time, which was overpriced. Out of interest about a month later I decided to check what the price was and it had gone up $400 and this was from the same computer store where I got it.
2:00 that heatsink alone would hype me up so much if I ever see one as a throw away
That's a pretty normal heatsink though, isn't it?
@@MsHojat that is better/beefier than Intel's current cooler
I built a _banger_ out of parts I had lying around as a spare for my son simply to play Diablo 2... i7-930 + Corsair H80i AIO, Gigabyte X58 UD3, 12GB Corsair RAM, Galax GTX-970 SOC, 250GB Samsung SSD, 1TG Seagate HDD, Corsair CX 550 PSU & Lian Li PC-P50. Only thing I bought was a Silverstone PWM fan controller ($22) and keep all fan under the control of the H80i's liquid temperature.
A gigabyte x58 with an i7 and a GTS 250 seems eerily familiar!
Mine, with a few sticks of ddr3, a w3680 from China and an RX580 8gig I rescued from a miner during last summer, got me through the 2nd wave of the pandemic like a champ!
I just resurrected a 3770K asrock extreme 4 with case with ssd, wifi, Noctua U 12S, and hard drive for grand daughter. I added a Nvidia 950 GPU I had and it runs like a top. Cleaned up the mobo and case well and it hums along pretty well. Ivy Bridge copes pretty well with modern day tasks.
To be great you must inspire , to inspire you must be great ..... And that you are doing sir! The Tech YES City way of life is basically how trying to make the most fun and a few $$ along the way and i get to do what i love build.fix,restore! Keep the video`s coming big shout out from across the pond from canada! I cant lay a screw driver or sata cable down now my youngest son takes off with them so its a good sign
Wow! What a nostalgia. 10 SATA ports on this motherboard. I have never seen any current motherboards having more than 8 now.
I played games way back in the day on some real jank old pc's for many years, so through my eyes this is one top tier gamer
What a great find!
Brian be finding x58 boards in the dumpster while I be searching for "cheap" ones online.
Best Tech Yes intro yet 😎😂👌🏼
@Tech YES City , you absolutely need to do a tutorial on cleaning up a PC like that, what products you use and stuff like that!
Who leaves a working x58 motherboard by the side of the road. Youd have to pry mine from my cold dead fingers! So jealous of your find.
Good find. I used to find some sort of tech in apartments dumpster once maybe every month. I live next to big semiconductor factory, they employ lots of people from all over, India and china. Large disposable incomes that get spent on tech. Once they are here long enough to buy a house or their VISA's are up, they move and throw everything away. Lots of good stuff, like new. Unfortunately the homeless population has exploded during the pandemic together with our lax'd drug laws, it has brought in a lot of new scavengers. I find nothing now or will at times get interrupted by a tweaker looking for anything he can pawn.
Would be a hell of a twist if this was a system you built and flip a long time ago! X58 boss built so many PCs he can't remember them all XD
Was everything good with the temps on rx570? I noticed the thermal pads tore a little bit. I have change my paste one day on my Rx 580 think its been 3 years now. Its just a pain to find .75 mm thermal pads last time I looked for them.
Congrats on 500k lets go for 1M in 2022?
what is the model of the case you used in the build and keep up the awesome work
X58
12 years old and still playing ball. Have to love it.
Nice job!
