Sometimes old parts just need a bit of maintenance, a lot of people throw things away when it just takes a little time to clean and reassemble to bring them back to life (barring breakage or damaged parts which is harder).
It's called Tech Yes lovin
Where i live, untested is 100% junk, also usualy expensive. What you got is probably worth more even for parts, even if all the cards were broken.
Edit: Ignore me I'm an idiot!
Where he lives it's in the same but he lies about the prices he gets them at. How does he find these golden deals many times a month? Try check his local online marketplace, you won't find anything near the same value.
@@noahw5887 its called scowering marketplaces all day and scooping up deals
@@genericpoke Yep. Going to places physically. Anyone who know how or cba to use online markets usually know what things are worth theyre not gonna sell them for cents on the dollar.
@@Andytlp sadly i missed a r7 1700 mobo ram and cooler for 100 today
I was like 5min late someone scooped it
I'm literally shocked by how many of these cards were brought back to life just by cleaning them.
me too
not me. Gamers are a filthy breed. 0
He didn't just clean them. He gave it some Tech Yes Lovin 😆
Yeah, I've seen some expansion cards, including graphics cards and audio cards that were just really dusty on the PCB and after washing them off they worked! It's kind of funny that dust can cause snaps, pops, and crackles on an digital audio card just as if it was analog LOL.
It's funny because that's how I've only been able to fix older electronics I've come across. Just Disassembling them, cleaning them(and drying them out 100%) and reassembling them does wonders.
Bryan is back with another win. This almost feels like another parts hunt all in one video and I absolutely bloody love it! Awesome stuff as always mate 👍
If we just go by his vids we'd assume he wins all the time but the reality is that it's probably more a lot more of a gamble i.e. he loses quite often with his gambles on parts but when he wins he wins big which makes up for it
He also gets great content for his videos which draw in views
The Gigabyte "955" should be a GeForce 9500 GT. (GV-N95SOC-512H)
The model you have, being labeled "SOC" instead of "TOC", implies that it was most likely intended to be a 9500 GS before the name change to GT, so it's a bit rarer. If it were working, it could probably be sold for about $100 - $200 to a collector or enthusiast.
I have a 9400gt, it is a turd, but it played videos in its day.
Hey tech yes love the channel and I figured I would throw a few tips your way for some of those cards.
1. That "dos game" glitch on the 580 is a strong sign that one of the vram modules is fully dead. The only solution to that is to solder on a new one, which is quite a process.
2. You can fully customize and flash custom VBIOS's to Nvidia GPU's up to the GTX 900 series, it was patched with the 1000 series (pascal) when Nvidia started encrypting there VBIOS's.
3. That motion blur glitch on the 560 is probably caused by a dry joint in the solder that connects the connector to the PCB, its an easy fix with a soldering iron and some time.
Keep up the great content!
'no heat from the die' is often a problem with the power components on the card rather than the GPU chip itself. Some poking around with an oscilloscope can often find the problem. Could be as simple as a bad capacitor in one of the power circuits.
Yeah true but it's simply not worth it especially in his case and also the cards that not working u could get probably for less than 20 usd
@@cbell7342 capacitors cost pennies though and arent hard to replace I rebuild power supplies for Tv's to fix them and you might have 10 dollars in every cap on the board so these would be cheap like 4 dollars or less for all of them I'd bet for good parts
@@79huddy you failed to include or think of the labour and time to do them though it could take someone who not used to the doing it could take them up to a hour or 2 plus as I said in his case it's not worth it he buys PC parts to build and flip and create content for his viewers not repair a old gpu worth 5 usd xD
@@cbell7342 Yeah but the more you know the more money you can make once you learn how to do it, later Gen cards will have some of the same flaws eventually I didn't learn how to fix electronics on anything worth anything to start I learned it out of necessity on my old junk now I make money anytime I see a TV on the curb that doesn't have a busted screen and if I don't want to list them once they're are fixed I just take them to a pawn shop and sell a group of them trust me my guy who knows how to get software to jive when I build a pc is awesome but when he has components or a board or monitor that needs fixed I'm the man it can become a good trade to get something you need sometimes all knowledge is an investment plus it makes you feel pretty good even if all you fixed was a patatoe 😁
@@79huddy Sounds interesting! I toyed with the idea of doing something similar. How do you build the knowledge and to diagnose and fix the issues though? Can you recommend some resources for graphics cards?
These 3770's are still very nice CPU's (IMO)!
They are still good for cheap workstations.
Maybe in an optiplex for a home server? As a gaming CPU for 2022 I think it's coming time to upgrade
@@Supadupanerd oh yeah for sure, my home server currently runs it. Does the job

found your channel a couple of weeks ago and binge watched tons of videos since then, really been enjoying the content man, keep it up!
Hey, first time viewer and seeing you clean those cards was... Interesting. If you don't mind, can you list your process and products used to clean the video cards? Awesome job!
- I have a question :
I got the HD 7850 3Gb, when plugged into PC they still output normally, but when installing the driver, it suddenly goes black and the GPU fan is still spinning, have you ever encountered this situation and usually can fix them or not? I cleaned it and even changed the thermal paste and thermal pads for vram.
I love how you cleaned those graphics cards, and they worked! Do you have a video explaining the process?
Always love these vids. Thanks so much!
Great work on the clean-up, wish they all had worked.
Check the fuse by the PCI bus with a multi-meter for continuity. I had 2 out of 4 cards that had the same problem. I just bridged that fuse with a single strand of copper and they are in use for the last 2 years so far.
14:52 as an example, F5 by the PCI bus... Anywhere you see an F# on the board, that's a fuse. Measure ohms across it. If it's open, try bridging that! The cards that have no heat output might have this problem.
I love the beat drop during brake cleaner spray 👌
This is like a collectors dream (at least to me) if you want some advice on what to do with the older cards I would try selling them online cause honestly I could see a lot of those cards getting snatched up for 20 or 30 bucks each (without shipping included) due to collectors snatching up anything they don't have. Could just be me, but I think you could still stand to make some more money out of them. I wish you luck! I love seeing these kinds of videos, you Aussies get some of the best PC component deals in all honesty and it makes me incredibly jealous! Great video! PS: I could also find out what that mystery card is for you if I had a picture of the back and front and what the seller had it labeled as. I have a knack for that sorta thing.
I did the recleaning you did with 2 “dead” gtx 480’s and redid the thermal paste under the IHS and reapplied thermal pads to the memory on them and they worked just fine after even though I thought they were broken because thats what the seller said and they wouldn’t boot but after a little Iso cleaning most cards will still work (unless you notice something like the caps 🧢 or electrical damage like black lines from a electrical storm). Some cards just need some loving
Love it when a tech yes video drops 😁👌
A lot of these older cards with the larger heat spreaders are actually just that, they are baked down with TIM, mostly a thicker paste and can be lifted to inspect and actually clean the chip die and check to see if the crumbling material isn't affecting anything else SMP wise, I noticed this with some 400-600 series GPUs when I brought some back from the brink, dunno how helpful that is, but if you're going this far, an extra step can't hurt.
Damn was really interested in hearing more about all those hdds, but overall great video, really gives a feel for how these kinds of deals can go!
where plss i wanna win
Had a few laughs throughout the vid. Thank you Brian.
From you taking some time to chill out otherwise the GPUs might have gone down the balcony to 14:39 where that aerosol cap got blown off to the funky behavior of the faulty GTX580 at 18:12 that looked like an 80s game with all the different characters, each with a different foreground and background color. Specifically that last one I mentuoned reminded me of Pac-Man 256 when the glitch that follows from behind consumes most of the maze and screen.
Got a question or two for you.
Can you share what the name of the track at 13:39~16:59 (cleaning the GPU heatsinks and testing afterwards part)?
And what is the fate of all the faulty GPUs you encounter? Where do they end up?
Love this channel, totally agree with the fun stuff. Great video 👍
Rollercoaster. Thanks for the ride. Do you have a detailed video how you test and flash graphic cards before you sell them?
This is amanzing. Do you have a video on how to give graphics cards some of that Tech Yes City lovin' as well? For someone that wants to get into doing something like this as well?
It would be interesting to see how the "almost there" cards would behave in Linux, especially the AMD one that wouldn't install the driver. AMD drivers are already in the Linux kernel
Ali express freaks, Australia is Asia dump, the other way around now ?
AMD gear grows old too soon...
Just a question here... I've had trouble with a AMD Fury booting up on a x570 board. Until I updated the GOP of the vBIOS and flashed it back. UEFI-boot worked. Could this be the problem on a few of those cards?
Nice one!
Why no ultrasonic cleaner this time though?
Nice to see the brake cleaner come out for another Tech Yes loving montage!
What is in that spray can you're using for cleaning the cards and boards?
Early for another tech yes video!! Your amazing man!
Thats an insane plot twist with so many of the gpus working. Great video. Very entertaining.
What about the thermal pad for the memory? O.k. I saw thermal pad on one of the sinks. Do you replace if it tears. I've redone a lot of old gpu's over the last 2 years and usually when I pull apart thermal pads are shot gooey messes with strings. So old you actually just have the binding string with a gooey pad residue left.
do you have any solutions for overheating gtx 750 ti while im playing gta it turns to black screen but when im only in working some documents its working well
that 580 is a special edition those came standard with 1.5gb of vram but just before the 600 series arrived makers were releasing 3gb versions
Hey, what cleaners do you use on your electronics?
Do you ever market the lower end of you build as maybe arcade emulation boxes ? Maybe an another angle to use for selling
i love ur channel bro. ur inspiring me a lot!
Hey Tech Yes, I've been watching for a while now and it was actually your channel that got me into flipping computer components and refurbished machines and I've got a question if you wouldn't mind answering it.
In previous videos you've used an ultrasonic cleaner to clean components and it's proven extremely effective and seemingly preferrable. Why didn't you use the Sonic cleaner on these cards when it would've helped to get at the heatsinks and fan blades? Is there a risk in using a sonic cleaner on GPU's specifically?
Plus, you can sell some of those as Spares or Repairs, like I think that Quadro 5000 is worth some $$.
The ups and downs are intense, love it when it pays off though. Gives us all a real high. So as always, Bryan, THANKS for that Tech YES Lovin'...
12:18 is that a missing R19 cap? do the others have the same one missing?
My personal PC is an i7-4790k with 32GB RAM (Hyper-X Savage) on a Z97X mobo. What platform should I upgrade to so that I at least keep the current performance but maximising upgradability and value for money?
I'm very happy for you... Glad they worked on retest...
Love your work!
14:56 there is a smd that looks to be knocked off the card on the right side of the board thats just dangling there
This is what sets you apart from all of the other PC tech channels that all build the same thing basically with all the same parts. I love these types of videos.
Bryan what is the spay that you use to clean up the graphics cards??
Goes to show how just a bit of time and dedication can bring back life to electronics, amazing job !
I think I'm feeling my age, re how many of those cards I recognise just by appearance. :D I still have a number of the same models. I keep meaning to go back and see how far some of them can be pushed with a modern CPU, given how CPU limited some games were back in the day when IPC was so much lower and oc wasn't yet baked into the chip designs.
Kinda neat btw for the guy selling them all, that's some handy cash to help cover basic expenses of a move, even if just the trivial stuff, it all helps.
wow! awesome bundle despite the fails of the cards great video!
im sorry, what's that 2 "spray can" u use to clean the GPU ?
Bro, I literally saw that ad facebook ad, and my friend sent it to me, glad to see that you could potentially make your money back
Awesome work!
What's in the spray cans you used to clean them?
Hey m8, good job you do, keep walking! Fast question, are those wet cloths you use for cleaning? are they with alcohol ?
Question: you often put parts in your water cleaning machine, did you consider putting the GPUs in it for cleaning? If not, I would be interested to know why not.
It does take a bit longer to use the USC than the method used today, especially with the amount of cards. I might try the GTX 580 and 6970, but got the results in the end I was looking for, in that I weeded out cards with true faults vs the cards that needed a solid clean.
@@techyescity bryan, i have 2 dead gpus( 750ti and hd 7770). They are not being detected by the system, do you think some tech yes loving can fix them?
@@techyescity does reflowing using a hair dryer work? I have seen a bunch of videos in which people were able to revive their dead gpus with this method
@@princetaneja4000 I was about to say this, I've brought a lot of supposedly dead video cards by reflowing with a heat gun.
@@kazejah1014 do you take out all the plastic cooling parts off before warming it with heat gun? Or just blow it from the another side?
Great vid - "untested" is always a euphemism. That 4350 will be fine in a htpc for HD viewing on old core 2 or AMD x4 machines (Linux OS). Also makes a good test GPU as they seem rock solid.
14:37 That blue spray can cap: "Excuse me please, I got somewhere else to be!" (I've also had good luck spraying electronic contact cleaner on video port connector pins to get them working again)
The powah of tech yes lovin 😁
that was pretty awesome, you were able to revive, them old school GPU's
thank you for the video
i think a lot of the older cards have dirt build up over some contacts(especially when ppl have smoked indoors) that leak energy, so there a little shorts on the pcb, just by cleaning them you remove the dirt and thus the shorts. a short circuit does not have to mean something is broken, it can be just dirty.
ENJOYING YOUR SHOW, I would recommed reworking the chipset, you can use a heatgun or oven the cards at 240.c for 10mins
I wonder what are the two sprays you used to clean the cards?
Thanks
brake cleaner (I use it when things are real messy), though you have to make sure that is completely dry. Then there is multipurpose spray, cheap and ridiculously good for anything with electronics.
@@techyescity Thank you for the response mate! Gotcha
Could i get the broken cards because i rly wanna try to solder around a bit and repair it. I would take the old cards too. i would use them just as display adapter.
I could have SWORN I bid on an ebay listing with nearly those exact cards recently...
Good find!
Is the multi purpose spray similar to WD40? I'm looking into cleaning an old GPU I had i the attic for some years, and never thought of using this for cleaning.
3:43 - I was hoping for a DING sound effect here to to contrast all thos BRRRRHHH sounds
Just watching this. Prior to you telling us the 580 was having these issues, I watched you reattaching the cooler and I was concerned with the thermal pads on the vram. So to see this immediately after that, I highly recommend taking that cooler back off and redoing those thermal pads.
Keep getting fun good man
all your videos are amazing thanks :)
nice one Bryan good deals only on market place only one i use to
Just A note. Sometimes the AMD Drivers Will say they will work for a Device but actually wont support it. Have a system that has a HD4750 in it that Will sometimes attempt to update the driver (No matter how often i turn it off) and then it will say that I don't have a compatible device.
Try an Older driver for the 6970.
Do u you sell the broken cards online like eBay or something I see them listed all the time
19:37 I've come across a similar NVIDIA desktop graphics card that had a notebook GPU, but not a single driver worked; the latest version of the desktop driver at the time only did after I added its VID, and PID to the nv_disp INF file. Don't remember whether hardware acceleration worked or not. I asked the IT store to pay me 3 bucks for the driver modification, and he offered me the card as payment instead. I think I might have given it to my big brother; calling it a potato would be an understatement. 😅
Bryan With old HDD's Do you have a Limit. Date of Manufacture. Power On Hours? (EDIT: Spelling)
I'd have checked for resistance on the capacitors, last 1050 I repaired and the last 3 HDTV's I repaired were all capacitor replacements.
If I might make a suggestion, I would use Windows 10 if you're going to benchmark older graphics cards since their drivers and/or windows 11 might not necessarily support each other so it may cause some errors in testing. I had experience with this when trying to install my new Radeon RX Vega 56 and Win 11 drivers weren't out. I had constant problems with it crashing and other irrelevant minor issues. Until the new drivers came out, it was all good.
I may not be necessarily correct but I thought I'd share what I know with the knowledge I have. Hopefully it helps. 👍
It was an interesting video to watch though, I got surprised at the amount of "dead" GPUs at the beginning haha.
Why dont you try to install NimeZ drivers in to the 6970?
Good stuff! Regards from another Stinger GT driver from Germany 🏎
the ghosting with the gtx 560t at 9:53 was exactly what happened with a 560 I bought a while ago,funny that its the same issue on the same card lol
Might try stripping the cards down that didn't work after a good clean and baking them for 15 minutes or so. Make sure to cover them with foil... this helps to refresh worn solder joints. Fixed a few cards cards that I thought were bricked with this trick.
Which spray are you using at 7:50 ...
9:53 i had that motion blur on my old monitor, it was because the port got bent.
the monitor had a speaker that you could take out,
it was to big and it bent every port in the back, it was a dell monitor.
22:55 Can't find if anyone have commented on the Gigabyte GPU, but the serial on the PCB is usually for what GPU it is and then they put a sticker on it depending on the difference between cards. So i would guess this is a Gigabyte 9500GT and probably the GV-N95TOC-1GH model that had 1GB GDDR2 memory and was factory Overclocked, the 512MB one had 512H in the end.
With the 580, remove the heatsink and press each vram chip ( with the PC on, use a smaller heatsink ), when you find the problematic one, use a hot Air pistol to resolder it
Do also test out if the graphics cards have blown fuses?
They located near the pci express pins and the ATX connector.
If it is blown it might be that there is a short circuit.
11:03 very impresed with this "tech yes lovin" results
what are you using to clean these cards .. a degreaser ?? what product ?
Where do you get this kind of surplus? I hope i can find something like that here in the philippines.
makes sense if most of the cards were stored in a garage in an open box with the ports facing up; the ports would have taken the most corrosion, I run into the same thing all the time with guitar amplifiers that have the input jacks on top of the chassis
What spray cleaner are you using?
coming from a full tech background i wince every time you handle the cards so roughly. other wise great video!
I usually have 2 3 systems which are like a decade apart to test old cards on, I noticed many gts series cards won't boot on my main rig after installing windows 11, but they do on my core 2 quad lga 775 test setup.
I understand the feeling of 2nd hand parts, sometimes I get laptops that are claimed to be dead, but only because the seller used the wrong charger and it worked out of the box for me!
You could consider putting together some retro gaming rigs with some of the AGP cards, the Windows 98 and XP gaming rigs are still worth quite the money if components are mostly period correct. Heck even just finding an old Pentium 4 based Dell desktop and throw it inside will work. I flipped a GeForce 6800 XT just like that
As for the cards not generating heat, it is possible you could have a bad VCore power supply rather than the chip itself being bad, but u need to invest a lot of time to fix those.
Geforce 6800 xt?
Wow I’m glad I just found this channel!! I like how you do down and dirty stuff, used!! Unlike the other channels
I've got a few 6900's in my collection and they have the same corner missing on the power socket. Looks to be done from new for some reason.
15:30 - is that electrical tape you used on top of the memory dies? Hahaha
Really wish you'd do some follow up chats with consumers. Would add some quality depth to your work, Bry.
Did your platform support PCIe4? Don’t some cards prefer, as far as compatibility, PCIe3?
With the AMD card I've had the same issue with several that seemingly were sidelined with faulty Windows updates but they worked in Linux
It is really entertaining watching you putting a system with such amazing performance per dollar!
for the radeon 6000series card i have had the same problem but it is to do with the latest drivers being from like 2015 and so the cpu has to be updated to the 2015 driver it is very weird thought i might let you know
