just think how much money was put into this setup when it was new. you can tell this was someone's pride and dream pc. amazing that you brought it back from the dead!
Back in the days this PC was the best money could assemble! Top of the line EVGA mobo, triple CF, the first i7 to ever hit the market, custom WC and ultra-fast DDR3 RAM running in triple channel mode! Just WOW
I am in love with this pc, in both old and new configurations. the DEFINITION of an old beast. So glad you kept the custom watercooling loop. the 3 gpus just told the story of how badass this pc was back in the day. great work.
@@jareds4743 just remide how old is this mobo IDE slot ! and this cpu can work on DDR3 800/1066 i dont thing this cpu can handle this rtx even my ryzen 1400 gonna bottle neck :) sorry of my bad eng :) btw chears
The case would be worth some money, those 800D cases are pretty good, I am using one. The components, fittings (try buying them individually) etc would be worth something so I would think it's worth the 230, they would be usable in another build.
@@JollyRoger2408 It's kinda rare hardware by today's standards, even the case. Who cares if it isnt current gen. Well-engineered hardware is still worth appreciating.
Was the kid who bought this blind?! We live and learn, it's all part of it. What you've done here is very generous so well done. I hope he gets some enjoyment out of the new system now.
Pretty sure that nvidia card was used to run Hybrid Physx with modified/older nvidia drivers. It allowed you to run PhysX even if your main GPU was AMD/ATI.
The HD5970 is "high end" if high end is throwing money away for no reason. It is two 5870 on one card in 'Crossfire mode', which will probably run slower than the single HD5870 because they are clocked slower and Crossfire doesn't work in many games.
man your cool upgrading the kid video card to 3050. i know he worked hard for this pc so it so nice of you to both clean and fix it better than before.
really dedicated work,although the pc was kind of destroyed and even spending 230 dollar on it wasnt actually worth,liquid spilled,full of dust,components are too old that even today's games would struggle to run like that i7 980 and dont know what gpu,Though u did awesome work and even gave rtx 3050 which no one expected.
This was, at one point someone's dream pc, the water cooler back then must be hella expensive, yet i have no idea why you need that much liquid cooling for 920 i7, you can even get by with the stock cooler
Cant believe some one went to the trouble of water cooling an i7-920....That was like the worst and coolest of the i7's back then, Atleast should of gone top tier i7-980X 6core. Or throw an old X5690 server cpu in there and overclocked the stink outta her upto 4.5ghz. They love it...
The amount of water cooling in this system is ridiculous as hell for what was in it. It didnt need all that BS and in the end it just fried some parts. Good vid though as usual.
Just wow great video allot of work put in here, personally i don't think i would have had the patience. My version of this video would have been tear down and put everything into one of them large ultra sonic cleansers that's it, they, make allot of this level of cleaning no longer necessary but A+ for effort.
Cool pc rebuild but sucks, that Rtx 3050 will be bottlenecked hard. I had similar system 3-4 years ago and it performed quite bad back then. I was rocking dual x5677 with 36gb ram and rx 580 4gb. And it could not keep fps above 100 even in CS:GO. Later unexpectedly got great deal on i5-10600k and it was night and day difference.
I wouldn't wish that old slow pc on my worst enemy but if that's all you can afford then it's better than nothing i suppose, good job cleaning it up so well.
I can't help but feel the guy could have avoided being scammed simply by bothering to google the model number on the motherboard, generally speaking gaming PCs advertised in 2023 that are based around parts from 2008 are not going to be very legit :P
i don't use sound off my monitor i have my sound card directly connected to my stereo great sound 4ft speaker boxes 15" woofer 5" mid horn tweeter i built myself got them from the thrift store had to replace everything good sound
how long would something like this take? as your t-shirt changed like 3x throughout. wanna do something like this with mine, but time is of the essence in my life/line of work.
Id rather have the 5970 and 5870 than 3050, they are way better and more valuable. I think they reason they didnt dispaly in the test system was because it was probably uefi

Awesome work. I love that yall did this for the kid.
Thanks!

The ram wasn't the correct model to be the best. The best would have been 2000c7 or 2000c8, this kit was 1600c7.
Looks great! Awesome to see an old school north/south bridge water block like that.
Yes i enjoyed doing something old school
I am in love with this pc, in both old and new configurations. the DEFINITION of an old beast. So glad you kept the custom watercooling loop. the 3 gpus just told the story of how badass this pc was back in the day. great work.
I'd love to work out the cost of the high end components new. Must have been $2-3000.
this is one of the filthiest computers ever but im not surprised to see it still booted just fine. hope the kid has loads of fun with this unit
♡♡
So much fun with 7 fps in warzone.
oh man….that 3050 will be bottlenecked like crazy
cpu from 2008 rtx gpu oh boy
@@pavelstoikov3780 3050s are low tier so it will be fine for esports games i would think

Is it possible to bneck 3050?
@@adrianpopielski7006 yep
Believe it or not, but the 3050 will slightly bottleneck the cpu by about 6%. I can definitely say I’m surprised.
It's amazing how well those old i7's have aged.
From this i more took out how bad the rtx 3050 is more than how good is that i7
Cleaning By IFR 🔥
I see you watch the same videos as me lol
Yessss sir!
What is the song ? 👌👍👏

absolutely i mean the 1000w psu on its own and the case both here would be worth the $230
Respect for bringing that old cucumber back to life. 👍
I wouldn't have even taken the PC if they paid me $230 for it.
Hahaha ♡ thanks
Yeah sure
$23/hour? 2 working days? Won't you??
@@ran2wild370 Again, I would not want this PC. Not because of the work to invest, but because of the ancient hardware.
@@JollyRoger2408 It's kinda rare hardware by today's standards, even the case. Who cares if it isnt current gen. Well-engineered hardware is still worth appreciating.
You guys at IFR are the best. That is one awesome re-build which im sure the young lad will love.
Thank you ♡

There's a steep learning curve with computers and he is 15, with his mum.
You must have known absolutely everything when you were 15.
yeah the Mum part probably didn't help him! LOL @@lewisner
Totally true story. And at 15 he shud know his sh*t... I built my own pc with 13 max. Probably fake story anyway.
Please make such videos more often, it's very nice
Thank you!

Thanks for answering my why multiple unlinked GPUs question. Someone must of spent much 2009 $ on this monster.
The pc thumbnail alone was enough to peak my curiosity
♡♡ i hope you enjoy
Loved the video!!
I know that there are 1000000 of youtubers doing cleans, but with the IFR touch, it does get better.
Loved the content!!
So satisfying to watch! How could the original owner spend so much money on this rig and NOT take care of it?
With all the debt of paying it.. he got to the point of depression and not giving a f anymore lol
Corsair 800D case...I'm still using one...love the space... Nice job bringing the PC back to life!
Thanks!!
That looks like octopus tubing with tentacles visible lol. 0:58
Excellent job guys!! I love seeing this type of content and know the customer will love it!
Thanks so much!
honestly what you did you that kid was incredibly. props to you for doing that
Thank you
you're definitely the Greg Salazar from down under. Cheers mate! 🍺
Haha thanks

Thank you ♡

pro tip, leave the cpu in the socket when you clean it.

And the moments of truth. The best part of this video 👏👏
Thanks!
Good that I was not eating any food at the time of watching this video.
Haha very true!
I'm thinking you cut the power-usage of that rig in half by swapping to that single video card! NICELY DONE!
Keep it up man!! This video is awesome and therapeutic to watch. At the same time, we can learn on how to deep clean our PCs properly.
3:20 THAT TRANSITION, next level!
♡♡
Youre are absolutely legend for fixing this thing for the kid.
This was, at one point someone's dream pc, the water cooler back then must be hella expensive, yet i have no idea why you need that much liquid cooling for 920 i7, you can even get by with the stock cooler
There are some really great X58 Xeon CPUs available for cheap. How were two of the graphics cards mis matched? Why were three GPU's on the table?
Frankenstein build
Man those ram coolers looks amazing. I remember wanting those Corsair ones back in the day.
♡♡
That turned out amazing! Please do more of those if you have the opportunity!
I sure will!
Are you using high purity alcohol with the toothbrush? I love these videos btw.
Isoprophel alcohol
love the music while working seriously well done I subscribed
Thank you ♡
What do you use for cleaning these components ? Specific cleaning solutions ?! Thanks for answering and keep going on !
damn bro that's some legit hard work! amazing job

Did you ever benchmark this pc? wouldve been nice to see the results in testing different benchmarking tools and in game benchmarks
I couldnt it had a windows lock on it
Amazing work! Let's hear it for Mom after driving him 2 hours to get this done!
What screen saver is it that you use? It looks really cool!
Its on wallpaper engine on steam

he probably stored it in an outside storage unit and it froze.
Yeah probably =(
What cleaning products do you use to remove (as best one can) of dye sediment in the radiators ?
Windex or any glass cleaner with ammonia works but don't forget to rinse with water
To be on the safe side I'd have changed that psu. Great clean up though.
That was great what you did for the young lad. Keep up the good work :-)
Thanks, will do!
Nice video. Any chance to upgrade the processor?
man did the previous owner had nitro combust on the reservoir?
awesome job on the machine tho!
very satisfying stuff indeed
Hahaha wouldnt surprise me
Excellent video so far!👍👍
Thank you! 👍
Did you use liquid metal on that video card without properly insulating the surrounding circuits?
More closeups of taking using that fancy tool to remove screws please. I am learning so much!
This was very cool to watch, nice work!
Yeah, water and electricity work really well together
Yeshh
Man that HX blue label is so ancient it's going to release the magic smoke in the kid's room pretty soon ^^'
I would have swapped it right away.
Haha, old does not always mean its going to fail, it was still running solid
Remember. When that case came out it was 300 back then.. I hope the kid enjoys it
I've waited for this kind of content

big boy build from the DDR3 days. amazing setup for the era
Cool pc rebuild but sucks, that Rtx 3050 will be bottlenecked hard. I had similar system 3-4 years ago and it performed quite bad back then. I was rocking dual x5677 with 36gb ram and rx 580 4gb. And it could not keep fps above 100 even in CS:GO. Later unexpectedly got great deal on i5-10600k and it was night and day difference.
Yeah i realise it will bottleneck but i had no gpu lower end and id prefer he has a wprking gpu than none at all
@@DesignsByIFR yea working pc is better than no pc.
Nice work im happy for the little guy that the pc works :)
Great work mate. Big difference
Thanks 👍
curious to find out how much $$$ spent to get this cleaned with the additional equipment?
Probably enough to just build an entry pc that would out compete it when added to the purchase price
I am not sure why you didn't ultra-sound washed the motherboard. There is only hope that the coolant is not that aggressive to metals.
That wouldnt make for an interesting cleaning video though.
We only showed half of what we did, the clean was very extensive
I wouldn't wish that old slow pc on my worst enemy but if that's all you can afford then it's better than nothing i suppose, good job cleaning it up so well.
that mainboard is awsome!!! why we have rgb kindergarten now...
why no cpu upgrade? you can get 6 core x58 cpus for 15$ or less
more like $10 or less
Yesss, love this type of content.
Thanks!
Great video, your edit is 🔥
Thanks so much!!
the rad was clean because it never saw any coolant lol. it was all at the bottom of the case and inside of the power supply.
Hahahahaa
What camera dp you use? it looks mint as bro
This is the sony a7 siii
Just out of curiosity, where did all the aggressive cleaning materials go when you rinsed off the PC case with tap water onto an area of grass?
Subbed, hope dude was pumped when you got it back to him!
luv this kind of system way back those years of extreme ghetto builds but it turns out you improved it nice one and good job.nostalgic!!!
Glad you enjoyed
loved this content!!! More please!
Thanks!
Not 100% sure about the upgrade itself, the gesture is nice.
You should’ve make another TH-cam channel the name is “Cleaning By IFR” 😂
Hahaha ♡♡
I can't help but feel the guy could have avoided being scammed simply by bothering to google the model number on the motherboard, generally speaking gaming PCs advertised in 2023 that are based around parts from 2008 are not going to be very legit :P
It is a nostalgic piece which is why i think he wanted it.
But if i saw liquid throughout the build i personally would have left it
Man what an old beast, basically the same age as the kid.
who ever sold that to him was pure evil.
Congratulations. Now it's worth $231
Hahaha😂
Did you try those GPUs with UEFI disable? I remember haveling issues running old gpus in modern motherboards that support UEFI.

This took me a week but the filming process takes up alot of that time
watched this in 2024,was curious to see the little guys face after the sysytem being brought back to life😂
What solution do you use to clean the internals? Some type of alcohol mixture?
This is total ASMR stuff for me. So comforting. Nice work sir!
Glad you enjoyed it!
imagine brushing your teeth with that toothbrush after you're done
Question is what was original price in day 1 ? 6000$ ? good work.
Man I loved this video. Very curious about performance though
In the next cleaning videos we will make sure to test performance
@@DesignsByIFR that's great ha ha. Whenever I deep clean something I always love to see if it performs better lol.
@@NewChannel-vw4xx in our most recent deep clean video we did a small performance test
@@DesignsByIFR checking it out :)
Id rather have the 5970 and 5870 than 3050, they are way better and more valuable. I think they reason they didnt dispaly in the test system was because it was probably uefi
I cant belive.... Mighty Designs by IFR you have not DVI to HDMi reduction ? :D
Hahaha unfortunstely no
Why don't you upgrade this platform with the most powerful xeon processor? It doesn't cost anything.
