- eBay is a wonderful site, and I recently found someone selling a massive box of 18 untested graphics cards. So I bought the box for £21, but do any of these untested, cheap, old, and run down graphics cards work? Probably not.
Maybe buy a working Graphics Card? and Support RMDTECH...

I like how he judge the gpu working without correct driver
Right I thought that was dumb asf
The Microsoft driver works fine most of the time for testing
@@gcgaming905 maybe for very, very basic testing, like does it power up and have video output. Other than that, no. The MS driver is generic and doesn't know how to access and manage all the various features of the card. Lots of old video cards "work" until you put them through their 3D rendering paces.
@@TheSaltyExplorer I know I meant like seeing if it works
@@gcgaming905 I mean, even with games like fallout new vegas and that kind of old games crashed the game instantly, so yeah, not a good option to test a gpu. Dude Lazy AF
That weird card is an LSI20320IE SCSI storage controller worth around $30 if it works.
kira I study web development too!
Devolve go to kira’s profile -_-
kira Scuzzz. Ahh good times. When 10k was the norm
Kira I farted
If you really want to test that card, you need 68 pin SCSI hard drive and cable.
I'm sure you could salvage the heatsink and/or fan from one of the dead GPUs to put on the fanless 5850.
The loosely packed cardboard packing was bad, but imagine what it would have been like if the padding had been shredded paper. That's how I received a Corsair K70 RGB mechanical keyboard. It went straight back ...
Don't sell them to cex! They don't pay for old ati cards. Ebay is better.
Pretty sure he's doing it to show the worst case scenario for selling the cards
@@EdgyShooter ye he literally said that at the start of the video
@@bann3d232 More of a point to the guy saying don't sell them to CEX
@@EdgyShooter I was agreeing with u, not making a point.
@@bann3d232 Ah fair enough, sorry, difficult to judge tone in text 😅
For the 550ti without heatsink, just remove the heatsink in the dead 650 and put it onto the 550ti. Nvidia socket seldom changes.
For the half height cards, I think you can screw and remove the metal plate? (at least I have done it for at least 5-6 cards before)
And cex... I prefer you sell them in ebay instead.
you could just take the bracket off the low profile cards and stick the output through the open slot
20:08 That is a SCSI controller. Commonly used in old servers for HDDs.
there is no point in stressing the cards with out installing drivers, you will almost never be able to push a card near full power without drivers, also it wont perform as well as with drivers at any given usage.
just resell it as a mystery box on ebay
Ha
"i'm gonna try to fix it later" body slams it into the box
omg u look like 13😂😂
Yah I’m 15 actually
@@SwAgTeE1312 whats so funny about that?
@@SwAgTeE1312 und du wie 10 nach diesem comment!
@@SwAgTeE1312 atleast he know how to respect his stuff apparently
you have 5 broken cards, but you don't have a heatsinc??????
You cant just throw any random heatsink on the card
yes u can, it's called custom GPU coolers, I suggest you Google it, especially water-cooling with custom loops
grandmaster loki I literally have an ASUS Silent cooler on my MSI GTX 460
@@codykamminga9667 yes, but you can't just take a cooler off one card and put it on another. The mounting pressure has to be just right or you will either not have proper contact causing cooling issues, or you can damage the GPU die or other components on the PCB. You probably got it to work because both cards were based off the reference model card, or a recycled design. But typically you can't just pop and swap the coolers of GPU's.
@@amorgan20111 have put lots of other coolers on cards which weren't made for them, 90% of the time, they work fine
The HD 6850 was a beast in its day, that HD 6870 would be great for a retro build.
I think you should clean those cards carefully and apply new thermal paste before trying them.
and obviously replace broken or non working fans.
ikr
wow how much your channel has changed in just a few month sdince i last checked you out... well done dude love it
Thanks for the support, glad you enjoyed the new content!
It is quite interesting doing things like this. Bought a joblot of "faulty" cards and an "untested" 6970 to do the same thing with.
There's a lot missing here. But I think a revist on the broken cards would be good content. Maybe a team up with a component rework expert?
Try reflowing the broken ones in an oven.
temporary fix
Temporary fix, the broken ones he can change the thermal paste. And change the cooler
@@ee1yd I like u muppet
Tempoary, and random method, it could works again for 2 days or 2 years, it depends
The low profile cards can be tested by removing the bracket. It's not ideal as the card won't have any support but at least you can find out if they work or not.
20:19 that is a PCIe SCSI card.
it's an old interface to communicate to highspeed Harddrives form arround 1995..
LSI 20320ie
it's worth arround 35$..
btw. Full-Height and HalfHeigt?
Single-Slot, Dual-Slot and Tripple-slot
20:30 That is an LSI Logic SCSI controller.
Man you realy had a dyeing inside moment there with your first video card :)
Mate don't give up! You're soooo good at editing videos man don't give up you make good content.
4:35 i was thinking you hot-swap
ed the graphics card
Pull that shroud off the 5850 and mount a case fan, that’s what we used to do back in the day if you wanted to over clock before coolers could handle it. A good 120 should do fine.
That card is a scussi hardrive controller! Do you sell that shirt anywhere? Also, really great video, I really enjoy these!
Thanks! I'll look into that! :) I don't sell the shirt anywhere! :( But if there are people who would like one, I'd be happy to set up a store where people can support the channel and purchase one! :)
Gtx 660 ti was probably a mining card, a vbios reset might solve your issues
All the non working cards, take off all the stuff you can, put them on a cookie sheet and bake them in the oven. It can reflow the solder. 375 for 10 mins. let cool for 30
Be neat to see a motherboard and CPU version of this video, that was cool. It's the kind of thing I would do if I had the spare cash!
If you weren't so far away I'd offer to take some of those off you for a few bucks. I'm in need of some older GPUs for some systems I'm gifting to the community
Them 5850's were some awesome cards in its day, I still have 2 of them both with a 5870 bios for the added core voltage and vram voltage, I wish I had another system to see how they do in 2020.
Interesting video idea. I liked this.
Also, I can tell I'm a full American cause when I hear *CEX* . I'm always like, "Who?"
CEX exists in the US
@@Toastmaster_5000 Huh? It does. Well that's weird. I'm from Alabama around Mobile County so the only storefronts we ever have are Best Buy. We used to have Radioshack too, but yeah...only the one Best Buy.
@@amightygrizzly What a very different world we live in. I'm just north of Boston MA. The Boston metro area is possibly the most tech-centered area in the US east of California. So, we have CEX (which BTW, some pronounce it as "sex"), as well as one of very few Microcenter walk-in stores in the country. There are a few privately owned Radioshacks still around too but most locations have closed. I live within about 40 minutes of at least 7 Best Buys lol. Can't think of any other large computer related stores off the top of my head.
@@Toastmaster_5000 Yeah. I had a college buddy from Boston. Now, I've been to places where literally anything is at your disposal from a few blocks away inside a city. It always made me lost cause the 'concert jungle' is no joke. I ended up in hundreds of books and crannies where I always said, "Ok. Could I just climb up this building with the steps and ladders outside this building and actually see where I'm going?"
Yet, I'm kinda from the woods. I remember when my buddy was like, "Could I visit your place?". I said sure, but after driving down our straight road for 25 minutes he Saud, "Where are we and how are we gonna walk back?" So, I understand where your from. Like people out here don't even know that much about computers too much. Hehe, even my father today said, "Turn off that Nintendo console and help me outside." when he was mentioning the computer I use XD
@@amightygrizzly Luckily for me, I live just outside of Boston, which isn't so annoyingly dense, and I work just south of the New Hampshire border, where there's a lot of forest and marshland. Despite being a tech enthusiast, hiking, biking, and kayaking are some of my favorite hobbies, so, I'm more of a woodsy type who lives in a relatively dense city.
Something I always say to people from the south and southern midwest is New Hampshire or northern Maine and will feel like home, from a parallel universe. Same sort of people, lots of the same types of stores, similar culture (minus politics), but the landscape and climate are _very_ different.
Alabama might not have much in the way of tech, but hey, at least you guys have NASA, and much more affordable living standards.
I bought a pallet of subwoofers once with the intent to turn a profit. Yeah, that was dumb. I ended up just keeping what worked, which wasn’t much. A whole shit load of blown Kicker Solo Baric’s. This was probably 15 years ago.
That LSI Logic card looks like a parallel SCSI card to me. While parallel SCSI is no longer used in modern systems, people with vintage non-PC systems will be interested in this as this card allows them to hook the disks of their vintage systems to their modern PC's over a PCIe card.
Recognised that 650 as soon as I saw it, still using the same one in my main pc, 30 - 45 fps on a combination of ultra low, low and medium settings in most games (except in anything from like 2019 and newer).
ok, the name of your channel is RMD Tech and you can't even think of installing the heat sink of a defective gtx 650ti that you have previously tested on a gtx 550ti? ohhh boy, you are a very smart little boy. good job ... 👀😲😨🤣😂🤣😂🍺🍺👍👍
It would probably be wiser to keep any working cards for future content on your channel
Reflow the 660ti with a heat gun or oven bake it 385 for 8 min
Temp fix
@@thealien_ali3382 Depends on how hot your system runs it's only a "temp fix" if you keep your card overheating, I've had cards last years by adding proper cooling after the reflow.
Mad to think in 2008 I paid about £400 for a 4870, they were terrible cards went through about 12 in 5 years (due to warranty/refund/buying replacements) they had a habit of dying when I had to go inside pc for something like changing ram or to clean it.
if you have not already gotten a proper answer that LSI Logic card is a SCSI controller from about 2006. It's not really very valuable to anybody who does not need it as a replacement for one that has died in some old legacy server that is still running after more than a decade. Link: is.gd/Cn6CxP
I really really really like this video bro! Keep it up!! So cool seeing all these and you playing around with them!
*_If any of you guys ever get confused about a part, just take a good picture of it & post the pic online, even privately on FB. Then just right click & hit "Search Google for image" and it will give you a ton of images of the part, hopefully one of them will have the part name in the image. I do this a lot in the shop_*
Jesus, this guy is so underrated.
That heatsink-less ASUS board was an ASUS GTX550 TI DirectCu card...
11:17 'just ram it in as hard as you can'
- RMD tech virgin 2k19
13:47 'its this... tiny little thing!'
- everyone
Wow, CEX are really being cheap for these nice cards. Great for playing a few year old games on most settings.
The old red graphics card is probably too old to run Windows 10 properly, and there probably aren't any drivers for Windows 10. You'd need an older operating system - like XP or 7 - or modded drivers - to work out what the GPU is and if you can get it to POST.
That's a horrible idea. There are places that intentionally make a fake gpus that fry your computer
Love those lil keyboard/mouse controllers...I got 3 of em ...2 for main rigs n 1 extra for a couple min I computers like Asus tinker board and 1st gen latte panda win 10 pc ..the Asus runs off Linux type distro on a ad card ...great for lakka and emulation :)
This was the most satisfying tech video I have ever watched!
Oh and nice clean accent btw
Thanks man, glad you liked it! :)
RMD Tech No problem, And hey btw I know a guy lives near you called Daniel, He has a channel on TH-cam called DanielC, Send him the faulty GPUs and I’m sure he will manage to fix them because I have seen him fixing GPUs that do artifact or won’t install drivers, Especially that GTX 660 Ti, Which goes for $30 on AliExpress, Definitely a great prophet once it gets fixed :)
Good luck.
20:52 It's a SCSI device controller. It's for hard drives and CD drives that use the SCSI port (used in old servers)
Selling the cards on eBay will not yield the amount you're saying because there are seller fees (12.8% + 30p per item) as well as postage fees. You also have to consider whether they are using the "promoted listings" (pay a portion of the sale price as an ad fee), and you have to factor in whether the other sellers are selling it with free shipping or not.
Generally, a sale of £5 or less, with shipping included, will not yield very much at all. Hence why the person decided to sell the GPUs in a job lot as they'd get more that way!
Plug those external powers for God's sake!
I'll agree with everyone else, don't sell them to cex, you'll get more selling them on eBay. you can still test half hight gpu by removing the backplate, it's a bit janky but it works. Also older ati/amd cards have driver issues with windows 10 try using Windows 7
the unknown card is a LSI20320IE SCSI Card
You can take the pcie plate off and use it in any case lol.
Should use a separate monitor for any testing, but great job overall. I hope your channel does well in the future, new sub.
I've done this before as well but I usually give all the cards away at My eXtreme PC
#satangives
Also if you have the spare time, you can try troubleshoot some of the cards and sell them, especially the ones with high sell value at CeX.
that small green card at 20:17 is an LSI Logic Ultra320 SCSI Controller card. a search on google shows its worth a few dollars, about 20-30 US on Ebay
You mix profit with revenue, which is not same
Revenue is all money you get for something
Profit is what you have after you take all your costs from revenue
The "mystery card" is LSI LSI20320IE Ultra Wide SCSI 4 320
The last item is an old adapter, I found one in an old school computer given to me.
Great video!
that 5850 is in amazing shape
if it were me I would have given each card a cleaning and a fresh thermal pasting before even testing any of them to give me the best chance of having working cards. also when I go to trade or sell the working cards I could get top dollar being clean and ready to go.
how the hell is it suposed to work without the correct driver installed
It's not C E X it's prenounced "SEX" (it even says it in their ads)
edit: when i said it's not C E X i meant it's not prenounced as C E X
got a windforce 7950 3gb for 15＄ as "non working",
repasted and cleaned it before even testing and its working without any issue now
I like u ^^
Windows 10 doing updates and restarts right in the middle of your projects? That NEVER happens!
he was happy that he sold that trash to someone for 21 Pounds xD
Lmao I know
You're video is good. I did enjoy seeing what random chance gets you with things online, especially when it comes to tech. Though you have tech in your channel name. I would assume that youd know that not installing drivers typically means it wont work well. Also counting things as half because it's missing a fan goes against your test of does it work. Yes it works therefore it's a full count. Everything was good though, it does help to have screen capture every once in a while to.
put the broken cards in the oven @ 200C for 10 min but remove the plastic coolers then retry
I like your case on your pc, I totally dont have the same one 😂😂😂
Why is he using intels sock cooler????
Yep LSI SCSI card probably a 32 bit SAS-1 chip with a 2TB HDD limit..
You CAN fix broken cards by putting them in the oven will resolder and boom it works..
Linus tech tips did it so you can
That is funny
You won't be left with say £3 for NVS285 selling on ebay.
£0.30 is fixed fee on paypal, plus 3.4%
EBay would take 12% (10% plus VAT)
Royal Mail would take £2.55 assuming you have large letter box to use to send and account with Royal Mail
Large later box costs £0.28 when purchased in bulk of 100
Your total comes to
£3.00 - 0.30 - 0.10 - 0.36 - 2.55 - 0.28 = -£0.59
Such business is not for you unless you are willing to literary spend tens of thousands to make few hundred pounds of profit (which is dumb business model)
LSI LOGIC is a networking technology and data storage. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSI_Corporation
That gtx 670 2gb card is Super sweet
It gives us entertainment. Seller doesn't know they are giving a discount plus entertainment i.e gambling. Love your video :)
Nah lad, that's some right proper packing there for sure.
The user of that XFX without a fan really wanted a silent pc....... Can't see the problem at all
Must have passive cooled it, but replacing the fan would be a issue as it's a old card and finding fans for old GPUs are a pain. The 5850 is a awesome card shame his card didn't come with a fan
Skip to 2.30 before he actually gets to the point
They were all old cards and the packaging threw me for a loop ...fake?
Lots of comments on how you did almost everything in this video wrong. That's a good thing means people are interested in your content and interested in you presenting it and are concerned enough to want it done right. I am going to chime in with some very narrow focused recommendations. First lesson in Drama class; don't turn your back on your audience. Reorient your videography setup to present you forward facing AND your subject in the camera view. Second point; save some money and either purchase a test bench or build one. Building one is not hard, and can be done with the same materials as used in making a 3D printer and as content would itself be a good video. Third, write a script, even if it is just a flow chart, and then stay with it. You have 10 items to display, describe, attempt installation and use, set-up and install, then demonstrate. All 10 should follow the exact same process of demonstration. This way you can easily have time stamps set to each card and people can scoot to where their interest is focused.
WOW WE DID SEE ALL THE CARDS NOT LOW PROFILE OR NOT
THE NVS CARDS NEED A DELL PRIORITY DISPLAY CABLE
Cheers, my pc died literally 2 hours ago
Gotta love Misery Boxes
It looks like a RAID card but not sure
please repaste the cards
Maybe you could have taken a cooler off one of the duds to test the no cooler and the no fan card - and I'd have bodged a case fan onto the no fan card to give it some chance
Shhh! Don't spoil an upcoming video! 😉
Why Selling to CEX when You get 5Pounds on EBay for a card which CEX not listet ..... i think if You try to sell every card on EBay You well get much more
That's u320 LVD SCSI controller card.
That 660ti isn't dead...!! take the card put it in the oven resting on some tin foil balls bake at 220 for 6 mins.... fixed 2 asus direct cu's like that 2 years ago and they're still going to this day 😁
Untested my foot.......They knew what worked and what didnt...
That thing is a dinosaur of a raid controller
Mystery boxes are horrible scams for people whom can’t face reality. You won’t make a penny
