Normally what you do on that h61 board is put bios 0120 on a usb and change the bios pin to recovery mode and it should update to bios 0120.. those are great boards they just really fuzzy. Oh yeah since you can still boot into the bios remove all other hard drives and and use boot into usb on the bios and the recovery should boot up fine.. Big tech yes fan. Miles from south africa.
6:20 what you have to do is reflash the BIOS using the BIOS recovery method on Intel's website. There is this certain process, which I remember vaguely in which you have to remove the CMOS battery and CMOS jumper and reflash the bios a certain way. Good luck TECH YES KING of THE YESSIAN PEOPLE!
My best deal this month was a EVGA Superclocked GTX 780Ti with a ACX Cooler for £32 ($52 AUD or $40 USD). It was listed as not working and the description was that it would start artifacting (much like the 780 in this video). Took it apart and the thermal paste was pretty much only covering half the chip (and was really crusty too). So a bit of TechYes Loving, some new thermal paste, and the 780Ti is back working as it should.
17:45 The problem often is the boost, these 7xx series cards will boost even if it's unstable. But here's the good thing, you can just edit he boost table of the vga bios and then flash that! Better than doing it through afterburner because it's permanent and not depending on software.
I've updated many of those Intel H61 or equivalent BIOS'. Sometimes you need to remove the BIOS jumper switch and insert a USB FAT formatted stick and do a recovery flash to the latest version after flashing to a prerequisite BIOS.
The Lenovo 2nd/3rd Gen thinkcentres only work with GTX series cards up to the 10 series. The only AMD cards that will work are the single slot OEM cards supplied by Lenovo. Hope this helps to whom it may concern.

@@gamersaroundtheworldunite3362 Yes, you can mostly use the entire front I/O with the exception of headphone/microphone ports (technically possible but not worth the time as it requires you to rewire the connections) The USB headers are standard I believe, and the pinout for power, HDD activity, etc is floating around a Lenovo support forum. "M81 pinout" should yield you those results. Also the cpu coolers are great to repurpose because if you just snap off the the inner clips on the backplate and sand the excess off you can use them on any standard board as it's a standard 4 pin pwm fan.

I have seen a lot of listings for Ryzen and DDR4 where they are more expensive used than on amazon. Sucks right now. They bought at the peak price and don't want to lose out.
Buy my Ryzen 1700 (lowest 2% crappy bin) for $300, that’s 10% off what I paid for it new last year! JK, just drive the 45 minutes to Microcenter and pick a new one up for $120 new (might be cheaper, they’ve been dropping first gen a lot more since last I was there). People think their used stuff is gold or something, like no, I’m not paying above new prices for something used without warranty! So many people in the US like that though, as if they were investing money in their car for every dollar they spent on fuel and gas or repairs (that’s called maintenance people, maintenance, and it’s sure as hell not worth more than new!

I was silently screaming that in my head as well, as I've come across that before a few times on some AMD boards, which is why I always keep a collection of keyboards, even if my girlfriend hates it, same with mice in both PS/2, and USB, so if one does not work I can grab another, and see it works, before giving up on a possibly good working board, CPU, and RAM, as my budget for stuff like that is tight, but I run across basic keyboards, and mice all day long when thrifting for cheap, and a couple times have been told you want them take the whole box lol.

If you're going for flashiness to get them to sell, you can put any motherboard/CPU in and just have a case with tons of RGB and it'll sell like hotcakes. People in your area clearly care more about looks than specs. (Edit: And any graphics card too, people on eBay sell hundreds of $350 PCs with GT 710s)

Most likely this was a joke but that kinda ad is very common when people try to sell clothing, some mainly do it to thot around too which is... interesting to see
Wow @18:45 that GTX 980 Ti for $250 ($320 asking price) would have been a nice one to get, though didn't hear that Brian did, but I remember looking at getting any 2nd one for my 2nd old system from those sources and schmoltz no they were going for $500au a year+ ago. 1st consumer card with 6GB GRAM I reckon even at asking it was worth it, may be not to flip but a 'deal' none the less, although surely there are buyers who'd pay extra for a decent enough GC, but I guess Brian has that stack of 570s... I would have bought one for $350 back then, as my last ever Ngreedia thanks Jim!
I did a really cheap build just to get my foot in the door to see if I liked it. Had a dell optiplex 3010 i3 laying around. Bought a i7 2600k, cannot oc at the moment because the optiplex board, for 75usd. Had 8gbs of ram already, bought a 45 dollar psu, and bought a used rx 580 8gb for 145 usd. So in total spent about 265ish. I was able to run Apex at about 80fps on low/med settings. Bumped up to 16gbs of ram for another 50 bucks and now I can run apex on highest settings and stream while getting 100fps average and only 60% cpu usage. I’d say that’s a solid win. I’ll upgrade soon enough. Love playing pc.
I've been flipping a lot of the OptiPlex 3020, 7020 and 9020's. I refuse to even look at the Ivy Bridge stuff. I've just been cutting the HDD tray out to fit 480's and 1060's in for the i5's and 1070's and 1080's in for the i7's. They were selling well until I got shadow banned on FaceBook as well. Still isn't lifted for me. I can renew on the phone app, but no via a browser. Really sucks. I've been selling them mostly on Let Go.
This all reminds me of my first pc. Bought it back in 2016 for $100. Had a i5 3450, 8gb ram, 1tb hdd, and came with a cheap keyboard and mouse. Awesome when put with the 750 ti my friend gave me. Nothing killer, but it lead to my love of finding good deals like that and building PCs in general. TL:DR - Nostalgia kicked me hard with this video.
I'm seeing currently in US and Canada that the new Ryzen 3xxx aren't staying in stock long enough for people to grab them. It may not be until closer to September that you'll start to see them stay in stock long enough for people to upgrade (and then offload their old systems).
Here in the US, businesses generally aren't letting go of 4th gen Haswell Core hardware. My work PC is an Optiplex 9020 just like the one you picked up (i5 with 8GB RAM) and right now they are recycling any spare 9020s into service replacing Core2Duo Optiplex 755/760 machines that were in less critical areas. Basically anything that new is "good enough" so used deals are going to be hard to come by. Used to be they cycled out hardware when the extended warranties were up (mostly because the replacement would be a vast improvement to performance), but not anymore. Don't get me started on H61 boards. I bricked a friend's brand new Biostar H61MGC board by updating the BIOS. Luckily I was able to RMA it and get another one. That cheapo Pentium G850 newegg bundle deal machine is still running today.
Yeah that's what I'm seeing on eBay here in the US as well, but a lot of the systems only have 4GB or 8GB of RAM, but I like to have 16GB on my main machines, and DDR4 has jumped in price as of recent, even DDR3 has done the same unless you are looking at laptop memory like SODIMM DDR3L or you come across some desktop DDR3L someone can't seem to get rid of.
I just upgraded an i5 to an i7 and just couldn't get the thing to boot. Put the i5 back in and it booted. Put the i7 back in. No joy, but it sounded like it was booting. Finally stuck an old video card in with a VGA port hooked to an ancient monitor since the onboard vid ports weren't working at all. Fired right up on VGA. Reset the bios to defaults and everything works now. Go figure. The i7's graphics got stuck somewhere in hell until I went retro. Just keep poking the beast. Eventually it'll wake up.
Hey brian, Recently I picked up a pc off the side of the road, to my surprise, everything was there except the gpu. Specs include: core 2 quad q9400, asus p5kpl/1600 motherboard, 8gb ddr2, 160gb 7200rpm hard drive, 430 watt thermaltake power supply and a cheap looking case. Could I turn this into a sellable gaming pc if I added, say, a hd 7770? Would this be a good combo? thanks !
You might invest in some collapsible plastic crates that you can keep in your trunk for smaller loose items... better than just piling stuff up in your back seat IMHO.
I love these videos. Picked up an i7 6700, 2tb hdd, 16gb ram, asus h110 and an rx570, 500 watt thermaltake psu and a 128gb ssd for under 300 usd. talk about price performance when you seriously bargain hunt and travel.
In the UK the Ryzen Zen+ New Stock Prices are dropping quickly as Retailers try and dump inventory, probably won't be a lot of used deals around until the supply of new chips dries up, also a lot of people will probably hold out for the 4000 series next year.
There was a guy selling a binned delidded 8700k with a 1080ti and 32gb of 3000 ram and a 500gb 960 evo watercooled in a giant ugly limited edition Lian li case along with a 1440p 144hz 27inch gsync monitor for 1600 but accepted 1200. I ended up deciding to buy new parts instead. But I thought that was a pretty good deal if he wasn’t a scammer.
I actually have an h61 board and was having the same problems and it turned out it just hates my keyboard (steelseries apex raw) i swapped it with a generic dell keyboard and everything was all good.
In Berlin I'm starting to see Ryzen 1000 & 2000 series hit the used market, Today I picked up a Ryzen 2400g, 16gb of DDR4 3000 and and a Asus B350m gaming for 100 euro (around 115 usd).
I think late August is when old ryzen will be available Bryan, I wanted to get my first Aussie pc and umart and MSY went out of stock of pretty much everything by the 15th my “payday“. So I’m just playing the wait game now. Hoping they restock in August and those parts you are hunting will become abundant
A HP 280 G2 is a 6th gen that's good for a transplant... bought one on ebay for £46 GBP with a G4400 Pentium and 4GB DDR4 RAM. Some 6th gen stuff seems to be going cheaper than 4th gen, at least here in the UK anyway.
Bryan, some Intel mobos have this weird thing with being inconsistently bad and buggy at booting from USB. Connect a SATA/IDE CD and try booting from that.
I noticed the 4th gen thing as well. Took me 27 days to sell an 3770, while a 4770 was less than a week. Another thing I am noticing is people want 16gb of ram where I am at least. They dont care about 8gb anymore.
i noticed the same bro...when i was looking for a 2600 i7 , they were abt 60.00 us dollars but when i wanted to pick up a 4790 the price was 150-180! they are commanding a higher price cuz they are more in demand and desireable...16gb has now become the New norm, very true... and with todays memory hungry carp, its almost nessassary.
I think the lack of Ryzen 3rd gen supply outside of the USA is the main contributor for the lack of Ryzen 1 and 2 gens on the used market. Here in Canada the Ryzen 3000 series CPUs sell out pretty much instantly and are pretty hard to get. I'd think that next month you're gonna find a lot more deals on Ryzen CPUs.
Deals on ryzen stuff is practically non existent here in the uk. My guess is people just can't afford to upgrade to zen2, or would rather upgrade their graphics cards. I see lots of mid to high range graphics cards here at the moment.
It's been kind of dry here in my neck of the woods on the east coast of the US as well, and online I've only really gotten good deals on Adata SSD as of late, even used DDR3 RAM I need to upgrade an AMD FM2+ build for some basic 1080p 60hz Linux gaming has jumped up in price.
Picked up a Dell Optiplex 7010 with an i5 3570 for 50€ today, was stoked af about it! Switched parts around with another Fujitsu prebuilt I was working on where some parts didn't fit space wise, now I got 2 entry level gaming rigs ready for sale 😎
There are people selling 4770 chips for 100-150 bucks here in my area. I actually considered doing that to tide me over waiting for zen2 but decided it was stupid if I wasn’t getting a full system together.
INTEL H61 motherboard? I had 6 of that before same model, same date of purchase and works perfectly fine and one day all of them just gave the same problem at the same time not booting but power on fine. same motherboard, same problem with the bios. I think intel put something on it to render it useless in a certain amount of time.
Just bought a 2600x for £110 and a faulty rx580 8gb for £36. GPU is apparently showing in device manager but with a warning triangle, so probably a mining bios, should work fine after a patch
Bro.teach me how you put oem motherboard to gaming casing.as i know that mobo power connector is not compatible with other casing.just that oem casing have that connector.thanks in advance.
Not many r5 2gen CPUs here. I've only seen 3 since gen3 launch. Some are selling 1st gen, but thats just afew people. I've seen like 3 1700's being sold for 100€ and 2 1600's for 90€
How much should I ask for my system? R5 3600, x370 Asus C6H, 16gb 3000 c15, gaming z rtx 2060, 1tb NVMe, 500gb ssd, standard 500w psu, Deepcool matrexx 55
Ryzen 2000 cpus are not really sold in my country either. Saw a few listings on 3000's release, almost nothing since. Think people are pretty happy with those, not many reasons to sell.
There are some good deals out there. Zotac has had some occasional good deals on refurbished video cards. EVGA had some insanely cheap b stock PSUs during their Wednesday sales. Ibuypower has had some cosmetically flawed 120mm AIOs on eBay really cheap. I threw a system together with some of this stuff and sold it for a nice profit early in the month. Other cheap things I’ve seen lately are optane drives, system pull M.2 hard drives, lower end mobos people would typically buy for crypto mining, and refurb spinner drives. It’s pretty easy to throw a good cheap system together.
Your videos are extremely helpful Brian, didnt buy a single part until I had seen about 20 or so of your videos, I was able to build a nice price to performance computer! Around $400 USD!
you can just chuck a 1050 ti low profile in that 9020 and it will work no problems. That's what i did for my first ever gaming pc and it did me extremely well. Just sold it for 400
Hey YES Man! I watched almost all of your videos from youtube and it always brings me a smile when you upload something new! Can you please make a more in-depth of those hp pc's? I really want to make a gaming pc, but I don't have a high budget. First I wanted to do a xeon based gaming pc, but then I sae your videos, and i thought that it will be better for my money to go in a hp pc. Thanks, and keep up the best work
got any tips on a evga x58 mobo it has a rest bios but not picking up a usb keyboard but is waiting for input mobo code 7f has a xeon w3565 cpu. works but not able to push anything. do you thing a ps/2 keyboard work and i have alread tryed the rest cmos. got that a pc with a 240 ssd and a xfx570 4gb 6gb of ram and a corsair psu all for 200 but not to many deals . and no none have came up most people are waiting for the 16 core. i have seen alot of the 2nd gen bought on new egg sold out.
In brissy theres no good ryzen deals either. Seems they are listing for higher prices because they know people are looking for 2nd hand since r3 launch
I figured with the release of 3rd gen Ryzen and combined with greater thread utilization in games, there would be crunch being faced by all the Intel CPUs below the 8th gen.
so confused I am using a Asus gaming mobo socket 1366 with i7 970 6 cores 12 threads overclocked too a safe and stable 3.6GHZ boost clocks too 4.2GHZ and it has Quad channel memory I put in 6 sticks of 4GB rippjaws V for a total 24GB,s memory DDR3 and am running a RTX 2060 with it and I can pretty much do anything VR and raytracing and its wicked awesome and its a First gen i7 !!!!!! so yeah your wrong !!!
ive got a dell 9020 sff with 4th gen i7 4790 ,16gb 1600 ddr3 ram ,raid o ssds and I gotta say, its an insane , cheap 180.00 little beast.. whisper quiet ,tiny stick it anywhere size and lots of power from that i7..these run silent ,and cool even in a hot room with the cpu in performance mode... boots in abt 8 secs...Highly recommended little machine... got mine on newegg thru arrow direct
a STICKER?!? Does that really give the build a higher value? cause ill tell you what i never put those on my cases , partly cause i swap cases alot for a ton of builds i do. I recently settled for a Saberay ADV and i was gonna put my i9 sticker and Evga Badge , Aorus , Gskill Badge. Wish i had one of those old corsair badges still , i loved those .
Would an i5 9400f gtx 1660 ~640 and maybe shipping be good for autocad and lumion 8 since i know it will be good for games,or is an i7 6700 1060 6gb better for ~720euros.Or would a i5 9400f gtx 1060 6gb be better.Need suggestions.
Bought a Asus Rog maximus ix Hero (wifi) - hx1000w fully modular psu (80 plus platinum) - 16gbx2 gskill 3000 mhz cl 15 - 8gbx4 gskill trident x 2400 mhz cl 10 ddr3 All for 375 Canadian or 285 usd Was that a good deal or meh?

3:44 On that deals hunt.....did I see a girl being listed for $280? O_O
Most likely this was a joke but that kinda ad is very common when people try to sell clothing, some mainly do it to thot around too which is... interesting to see
Not only that but she also comes with the competition package. I wonder what that all entails. /jk lol
Yeah that’s price performance lmao
@Fellow accelerationist lmao you are the verced in xD
@Fellow accelerationist just get a trap gf
Wow @18:45 that GTX 980 Ti for $250 ($320 asking price) would have been a nice one to get, though didn't hear that Brian did, but I remember looking at getting any 2nd one for my 2nd old system from those sources and schmoltz no they were going for $500au a year+ ago. 1st consumer card with 6GB GRAM I reckon even at asking it was worth it, may be not to flip but a 'deal' none the less, although surely there are buyers who'd pay extra for a decent enough GC, but I guess Brian has that stack of 570s... I would have bought one for $350 back then, as my last ever Ngreedia thanks Jim!
I love the Thermal Take case. It's the only one I'll use anymore. So easy to work in/with.
I did a really cheap build just to get my foot in the door to see if I liked it. Had a dell optiplex 3010 i3 laying around. Bought a i7 2600k, cannot oc at the moment because the optiplex board, for 75usd. Had 8gbs of ram already, bought a 45 dollar psu, and bought a used rx 580 8gb for 145 usd. So in total spent about 265ish. I was able to run Apex at about 80fps on low/med settings. Bumped up to 16gbs of ram for another 50 bucks and now I can run apex on highest settings and stream while getting 100fps average and only 60% cpu usage. I’d say that’s a solid win. I’ll upgrade soon enough. Love playing pc.
Hp pro desk i7 6700 mobo works with 7700k and any gpu besides 7970 r9 280x gcn 1.0 cards
I've been flipping a lot of the OptiPlex 3020, 7020 and 9020's. I refuse to even look at the Ivy Bridge stuff. I've just been cutting the HDD tray out to fit 480's and 1060's in for the i5's and 1070's and 1080's in for the i7's. They were selling well until I got shadow banned on FaceBook as well. Still isn't lifted for me. I can renew on the phone app, but no via a browser. Really sucks. I've been selling them mostly on Let Go.
This all reminds me of my first pc. Bought it back in 2016 for $100. Had a i5 3450, 8gb ram, 1tb hdd, and came with a cheap keyboard and mouse. Awesome when put with the 750 ti my friend gave me. Nothing killer, but it lead to my love of finding good deals like that and building PCs in general.
TL:DR - Nostalgia kicked me hard with this video.
I'm seeing currently in US and Canada that the new Ryzen 3xxx aren't staying in stock long enough for people to grab them. It may not be until closer to September that you'll start to see them stay in stock long enough for people to upgrade (and then offload their old systems).
Here in the US, businesses generally aren't letting go of 4th gen Haswell Core hardware. My work PC is an Optiplex 9020 just like the one you picked up (i5 with 8GB RAM) and right now they are recycling any spare 9020s into service replacing Core2Duo Optiplex 755/760 machines that were in less critical areas. Basically anything that new is "good enough" so used deals are going to be hard to come by. Used to be they cycled out hardware when the extended warranties were up (mostly because the replacement would be a vast improvement to performance), but not anymore.
Don't get me started on H61 boards. I bricked a friend's brand new Biostar H61MGC board by updating the BIOS. Luckily I was able to RMA it and get another one. That cheapo Pentium G850 newegg bundle deal machine is still running today.
really enjoyed seen your work!👏
Here in Sweden its not so much ryzen 2 gen
I have seen ryzen 5 1600x and 1600 tho
Yeah that's what I'm seeing on eBay here in the US as well, but a lot of the systems only have 4GB or 8GB of RAM, but I like to have 16GB on my main machines, and DDR4 has jumped in price as of recent, even DDR3 has done the same unless you are looking at laptop memory like SODIMM DDR3L or you come across some desktop DDR3L someone can't seem to get rid of.
I just upgraded an i5 to an i7 and just couldn't get the thing to boot. Put the i5 back in and it booted. Put the i7 back in. No joy, but it sounded like it was booting. Finally stuck an old video card in with a VGA port hooked to an ancient monitor since the onboard vid ports weren't working at all. Fired right up on VGA. Reset the bios to defaults and everything works now. Go figure. The i7's graphics got stuck somewhere in hell until I went retro.
Just keep poking the beast. Eventually it'll wake up.
Hey brian, Recently I picked up a pc off the side of the road, to my surprise, everything was there except the gpu. Specs include: core 2 quad q9400, asus p5kpl/1600 motherboard, 8gb ddr2, 160gb 7200rpm hard drive, 430 watt thermaltake power supply and a cheap looking case. Could I turn this into a sellable gaming pc if I added, say, a hd 7770? Would this be a good combo? thanks !
0:35 what model monitor is on the left? Looks thin and sleek af.
very impressed. The best kind of recycling/reuse of all this stuff that could just as easily end up in a landfill. kudos!
You might invest in some collapsible plastic crates that you can keep in your trunk for smaller loose items... better than just piling stuff up in your back seat IMHO.
16:20 is that an Aigo liquid cooler in the background?
OptiPlex tip here the 9020 supports most of the e3-12xx xeons, I'm running a 1231-v3 in mine.
love the subtitles :). wish that the vid was fully subbed. you're probably the reason i am into building pc's with used parts.
19:00 why is the box in french ?
I love these videos. Picked up an i7 6700, 2tb hdd, 16gb ram, asus h110 and an rx570, 500 watt thermaltake psu and a 128gb ssd for under 300 usd. talk about price performance when you seriously bargain hunt and travel.
In the UK the Ryzen Zen+ New Stock Prices are dropping quickly as Retailers try and dump inventory, probably won't be a lot of used deals around until the supply of new chips dries up, also a lot of people will probably hold out for the 4000 series next year.
I managed to bag myself a Rx Vega 64 with waterblock for 220 SGD and sapphire Rx 580 8gb for 120 SGD .
There was a guy selling a binned delidded 8700k with a 1080ti and 32gb of 3000 ram and a 500gb 960 evo watercooled in a giant ugly limited edition Lian li case along with a 1440p 144hz 27inch gsync monitor for 1600 but accepted 1200. I ended up deciding to buy new parts instead. But I thought that was a pretty good deal if he wasn’t a scammer.
Damn so cheap .. Malaysia with those gonna cost 800SGD
@@Jacksons_are_jackson Vega 56 usually goes for around 400sgd. So, it was really a steal for me.
I actually have an h61 board and was having the same problems and it turned out it just hates my keyboard (steelseries apex raw) i swapped it with a generic dell keyboard and everything was all good.
In Berlin I'm starting to see Ryzen 1000 & 2000 series hit the used market, Today I picked up a Ryzen 2400g, 16gb of DDR4 3000 and and a Asus B350m gaming for 100 euro (around 115 usd).
I think late August is when old ryzen will be available Bryan, I wanted to get my first Aussie pc and umart and MSY went out of stock of pretty much everything by the 15th my “payday“. So I’m just playing the wait game now. Hoping they restock in August and those parts you are hunting will become abundant
I am seeing the same draught in WA. I think its your education to the masses that have created smarter sellers and more of them.
A HP 280 G2 is a 6th gen that's good for a transplant... bought one on ebay for £46 GBP with a G4400 Pentium and 4GB DDR4 RAM. Some 6th gen stuff seems to be going cheaper than 4th gen, at least here in the UK anyway.
Bryan, some Intel mobos have this weird thing with being inconsistently bad and buggy at booting from USB. Connect a SATA/IDE CD and try booting from that.
I noticed the 4th gen thing as well. Took me 27 days to sell an 3770, while a 4770 was less than a week. Another thing I am noticing is people want 16gb of ram where I am at least. They dont care about 8gb anymore.
i noticed the same bro...when i was looking for a 2600 i7 , they were abt 60.00 us dollars but when i wanted to pick up a 4790 the price was 150-180! they are commanding a higher price cuz they are more in demand and desireable...16gb has now become the New norm, very true... and with todays memory hungry carp, its almost nessassary.
A video explaining the issues with 6th and 7th gen proprietary builds. Would love to take a deep dive and see if there is a solution.
I think the lack of Ryzen 3rd gen supply outside of the USA is the main contributor for the lack of Ryzen 1 and 2 gens on the used market. Here in Canada the Ryzen 3000 series CPUs sell out pretty much instantly and are pretty hard to get. I'd think that next month you're gonna find a lot more deals on Ryzen CPUs.
Bryan is calling. we have a few of similar ones here but no one like Brian. Perfect .
Deals on ryzen stuff is practically non existent here in the uk. My guess is people just can't afford to upgrade to zen2, or would rather upgrade their graphics cards. I see lots of mid to high range graphics cards here at the moment.
*Yes man uploads*
Me: runs to get coffee and sit down to begin the deal hunt!
I am watching at 1 am tired and yet hungry for some tech yes deals
It's been kind of dry here in my neck of the woods on the east coast of the US as well, and online I've only really gotten good deals on Adata SSD as of late, even used DDR3 RAM I need to upgrade an AMD FM2+ build for some basic 1080p 60hz Linux gaming has jumped up in price.
Love these videos dude! Thanks for making them!
Picked up a Dell Optiplex 7010 with an i5 3570 for 50€ today, was stoked af about it! Switched parts around with another Fujitsu prebuilt I was working on where some parts didn't fit space wise, now I got 2 entry level gaming rigs ready for sale 😎
What windows do you install on these pc's when you sell them to customers? Do you get cheaper keys online or how do you go about? Thanks....
There are people selling 4770 chips for 100-150 bucks here in my area. I actually considered doing that to tide me over waiting for zen2 but decided it was stupid if I wasn’t getting a full system together.
Here in the US, there are no Ryzen deals. People are asking around the same price as new
INTEL H61 motherboard? I had 6 of that before same model, same date of purchase and works perfectly fine and one day all of them just gave the same problem at the same time not booting but power on fine. same motherboard, same problem with the bios. I think intel put something on it to render it useless in a certain amount of time.
Nope, no ryzen deals in my area at all. Did get a threadripper 1950x for $600 about a month ago.
Hefty price. They go for around 400$ where i live
@@Squilliam-Fancyson that's Australian money.
Just bought a 2600x for £110 and a faulty rx580 8gb for £36. GPU is apparently showing in device manager but with a warning triangle, so probably a mining bios, should work fine after a patch
Bro.teach me how you put oem motherboard to gaming casing.as i know that mobo power connector is not compatible with other casing.just that oem casing have that connector.thanks in advance.
Not many r5 2gen CPUs here. I've only seen 3 since gen3 launch. Some are selling 1st gen, but thats just afew people. I've seen like 3 1700's being sold for 100€ and 2 1600's for 90€
Sad man i live in the Philippines and traveling isn’t easy because there’s not many bridges across islands here snd were forced to use ferrys
3:21 u drive gt86? brz? frs?
very little ryzen deals in my area. alot of people dont wanna upgrade
6:10 try to replace the battery off the motherboard,or took it off.
How much should I ask for my system? R5 3600, x370 Asus C6H, 16gb 3000 c15, gaming z rtx 2060, 1tb NVMe, 500gb ssd, standard 500w psu, Deepcool matrexx 55
Bryan, For the artifacting 780:
BIOS mod it and lower the frequencies until it's stable.
Ryzen 2000 cpus are not really sold in my country either. Saw a few listings on 3000's release, almost nothing since. Think people are pretty happy with those, not many reasons to sell.
There are some good deals out there. Zotac has had some occasional good deals on refurbished video cards. EVGA had some insanely cheap b stock PSUs during their Wednesday sales. Ibuypower has had some cosmetically flawed 120mm AIOs on eBay really cheap. I threw a system together with some of this stuff and sold it for a nice profit early in the month. Other cheap things I’ve seen lately are optane drives, system pull M.2 hard drives, lower end mobos people would typically buy for crypto mining, and refurb spinner drives. It’s pretty easy to throw a good cheap system together.
My local market is jacked up too, I've gotten some good deals but nothing great lately.
Yeah hecka in my area hecka deals but I don’t bother for most of them
Your videos are extremely helpful Brian, didnt buy a single part until I had seen about 20 or so of your videos, I was able to build a nice price to performance computer! Around $400 USD!
Is a Ryzen 3 1300X, a 450w 80+ bronze and a GTX 1050Ti good for a 150USD?
So I am thinking of selling an 1700 with a potential 320mb. I'm in the sunny coast. What are your thoughts?
you can just chuck a 1050 ti low profile in that 9020 and it will work no problems. That's what i did for my first ever gaming pc and it did me extremely well. Just sold it for 400
Hey YES Man! I watched almost all of your videos from youtube and it always brings me a smile when you upload something new! Can you please make a more in-depth of those hp pc's? I really want to make a gaming pc, but I don't have a high budget. First I wanted to do a xeon based gaming pc, but then I sae your videos, and i thought that it will be better for my money to go in a hp pc. Thanks, and keep up the best work
got any tips on a evga x58 mobo it has a rest bios but not picking up a usb keyboard but is waiting for input mobo code 7f has a xeon w3565 cpu. works but not able to push anything. do you thing a ps/2 keyboard work and i have alread tryed the rest cmos. got that a pc with a 240 ssd and a xfx570 4gb 6gb of ram and a corsair psu all for 200 but not to many deals . and no none have came up most people are waiting for the 16 core. i have seen alot of the 2nd gen bought on new egg sold out.
In brissy theres no good ryzen deals either. Seems they are listing for higher prices because they know people are looking for 2nd hand since r3 launch
I figured with the release of 3rd gen Ryzen and combined with greater thread utilization in games, there would be crunch being faced by all the Intel CPUs below the 8th gen.
Can we get video on rx57x sli video. Wanna see what results on 3rd Gen and 4th Gen
Hi - what electric screwdriver are you using please.
Just received on a local purchase an ASUS P9X79 PRO with 32GB 1333Mhz Ram and a i7 3820 plus cooler; all for $220. Not bad. Not bad at all.
so confused I am using a Asus gaming mobo socket 1366 with i7 970 6 cores 12 threads overclocked too a safe and stable 3.6GHZ boost clocks too 4.2GHZ and it has Quad channel memory I put in 6 sticks of 4GB rippjaws V for a total 24GB,s memory DDR3 and am running a RTX 2060 with it and I can pretty much do anything VR and raytracing and its wicked awesome and its a First gen i7 !!!!!! so yeah your wrong !!!
ive got a dell 9020 sff with 4th gen i7 4790 ,16gb 1600 ddr3 ram ,raid o ssds and I gotta say, its an insane , cheap 180.00 little beast.. whisper quiet ,tiny stick it anywhere size and lots of power from that i7..these run silent ,and cool even in a hot room with the cpu in performance mode... boots in abt 8 secs...Highly recommended little machine... got mine on newegg thru arrow direct
3:17 the Mazda in front of you is me :)
a STICKER?!? Does that really give the build a higher value? cause ill tell you what i never put those on my cases , partly cause i swap cases alot for a ton of builds i do. I recently settled for a Saberay ADV and i was gonna put my i9 sticker and Evga Badge , Aorus , Gskill Badge. Wish i had one of those old corsair badges still , i loved those .
Always love seeing the b roll of the beautiful scenery in Australia in your vids
That's our video right there, Brian!
Keep the content coming!
Would an i5 9400f gtx 1660 ~640 and maybe shipping be good for autocad and lumion 8 since i know it will be good for games,or is an i7 6700 1060 6gb better for ~720euros.Or would a i5 9400f gtx 1060 6gb be better.Need suggestions.
Amazing video mate, best of luck with the personal things you're facing.
Bought a Asus Rog maximus ix Hero (wifi) - hx1000w fully modular psu (80 plus platinum) - 16gbx2 gskill 3000 mhz cl 15 - 8gbx4 gskill trident x 2400 mhz cl 10 ddr3
All for 375 Canadian or 285 usd
Was that a good deal or meh?
