#USED #PCParts #PCgaming - Jak na to + styl
don't risk using random cables on modular psus unless you check every single pin with a multimeter. the pinouts are completely random even for the exact same brand and model.
yup, u are absolutely right
I got lucky with EVGA when I mixed between 2 of the same models... Especially after hearing that story more recently.
I'm really surprised he said that. You're never supposed to mix random psu cables with modular psu's because the pin outs are not standardised...a bit irresponsible
I can't believe he recommended people keep their old PSU cables for other power supplies. People will kill their system doing this. I would be shocked if Brian didn't already know you can't mix modular PSU cables and likely tested them or double checked the pin-outs. Even just hooking up a PSU tester to an improperly wired PSU can kill the PSU or the tester. He really should have mentioned all this.
Someone just did a video on this a week or two ago I dont remember who. They sent in an RMA and the manufacturer sent back the exact same model with a different pinout because they have didn't standardize among their suppliers.
Parts-hunt with my morning coffee, oh TYC you SPOIL us so.
Tech Yes City is one of the most budget builders of all time 🔥🔥🔥
It feels kind of insane to me how, as a techie, if i wanna build myself a PC i wanna make it as futureproof as possible, mainly by CPU choice, yet most people just want something that works well enough in the moment so those older parts fit their not super intense use and of course at the prices they're being sold they're a great deal so even if longevity isn't quite there, most people don't mind it.
@@crisscrossam most peeps just wanna boot up fortnite and get 120 fps.
@@crisscrossam Mainly my friend is a lot like that too, just wants something that works well enough at the time. Though to be fair, he doesn't really know a whole lot about this kind of stuff.
Sometimes even something more mid range and not extremely future proof can last someone years. It may even be because they're not interested in playing the latest and greatest new titles.
@@techyescity Most played game is the easiest to run! And they're really good about getting performance from every possible hardware combination.
@@techyescity at 1080p as well. i recently got myself a 1440p monitor and most things i try to run on it with my laptop 1050ti max q and i7 8750H is barely getting me 40 fps 💀💀
Les in the background thinking WTF, I deal with this idiot? 🤣
Bahahahahahaha
0:02 Lez watching you do your intro... he looks equal parts mystified, incredulous, and full of admiration, even if he is out of focus. 🤣 It's gotta be the glasses!
I’d go with Zigg-Matic too, though I’d be careful about using the word “pop” around them!
12:28 that PSU is feeling the power!
2000w power supply for 5090? trips your room breaker any time you turn it on.
@@buildyourcomputer i guess it used with mining rigs with multiple gpus so that makes sense
you got a great deal with those Corsair PSUs. pure profit
2:43 love it 🤣 spot on.
Space man?! More like an 80's doctor driving around in his convertable 😂
Q9650 is surprisingly hard to come by at a realistic price these days. $15 for the whole lot isn't too bad.
I wanted one when they came out but couldnt obtain one, I ended up grabbing a Q6700 core 2 quad.
I just got a R7 360 for $4.50. For that price it's one hell of a card
Ok that's an insane deal
Well, i bought in Poland 3 of them week ago for 2,5$ each. Best ultra mega tera deal of year.
in NA there are genZ/A children that got hoodwinked during the big C/lockdown, and overpaid for their ryzen 3600 and 1660ti systems. They actually try listing them for upwards of 1k and then when you message them, they will gas light you and send you links of "new" old stock, and claim "BUT LOOOK HOW MUCH IS IT IS NEW!!"
just keep the systems instead of selling them, still fine just overpriced
Lot of people like that here in Aussie too, see stuff like a 3090 and they want $1800 cash like we are still in the middle of lockdowns and they have no idea that we can get faster brand new (with warranty) 40xx cards for less. Crazy
The big c is just cancer, not corona@@MaTtRoSiTy
I use this technique On myself when I buy used parts and still spend a huge amount
I sold a buddy I work with a system with a Phenom II x4 910, 8gb of ddr2, and a gt 740 4gb and it was actually a pretty decent pc for as old as the parts were. His wife used it to work from home during the pandemic. They got 5 years out of it before it stopped working. Swapped some stuff and got it working again so he can still use it for web surfing and streaming video and it's still pretty decent for that use case.
Tech Yes looking like the mad scientist
Those corsair PSU deal, even without cables was phenomenal, in Europe each hx one sells for 100 €, used.
I love Tech YES Shades!
Love the Lez Visits. Say hello from NY
Thumbs up if you need a Les in your life 😂👍
Would be even better if it was a Big Les
I went from Lez videos on the internet to Les videos. At least Les has better mileage on the used market 😂
I have one for my PC Builds
The TechYES Madman returns in April - Along with Lez! Gotta love Lez!
12:08 Brian got a literal BANGER!
18:53 those are Corsair Type 4 PSU cables, they're interchangeable with RM/x, HX, and SF series PSUs (basically all the higher end Corsair ones), but NOT anything else
sorry mate nah spaceman look not u!!! lol
This was a flipping delight! All of those used PSU's will more than pay for themselves down the road. Banging out an upgradeable used pc and selling it with a PSU that can handle a dual 8pin on the gpu with a few Pci left over is really a good selling point.
Great haul mate! Awesome buys there!
@1:08 Last month I came upon an i5 9400 similar system for just 80€ (though it was brand new and sealed in the SI box) and it also came with a 500gb SSD. Paired with a GTX 1070 for 100€ (yeah a bit too much), another stick of 8gb DDR4 for 10€, an AIGO Ice 200+ wifi+fan hub and a set of fans (thermalright from amazon) for 28€ total, and make a simple cheap gaming system for my older brother (who was still playing with a mx 110 i5 8250u laptop). Btw AIGO Ice 200 stock fan is a 3 pin 90mm fan, so I found a deal for 15€ 3x120mm fan and 1 90mm for 5€. The AIGO+wifi+fan hub were 10€ (-2€ promo) for the 3 Choice option.
Wish I could have found decent case in time, as we had to pack it and ship it before he went back to his house (he stayed a bit longer for vacations)
I wish there was a Les in Wollongong. He can start his own spin-off. Tech yes city- the chronicles of Les
Amazing parts hunt!!!!! i wish i could pickup this kind of stuff where i live
I collect and restore Retro PCs and my method of testing PSU's is putting them under load. Those little PSU testers are nifty but they draw no load and you want to look at what the rail voltages look on a 500W PSU when it's drawing 350.
Done a few deals myself in the maccas car park at Virginia. Great meetup spot.
Random thoughts: 1. Dig ya music tastes (Billy Idol - Cradle of Love). 2. The loud pop that's a cap(acitor) that blew. Ask me how I know, lol. 3. Watch those cables for the high end power supplies they are usually unique or proprietary (Corsair has a couple of tables telling you what generation cables will work with which power supply). Not just the mainboard one, but the PCIE cables, too.
I had to pick between a R7 1700 or R5 2600 a few years ago, SO glad I chose the 1700, my chip OC'd to 4.1ghz and handles 32gb 3200 no troubles, actually outperforms my mates R7 2700x.
Man I thought that I was a budget builder.. you're on a whole other level mate!
Best deal was the 500w power supplies. Its hard to find one used for sub $30 US. If she had more you should clean her out. Those high end power supplys id put on ebay and get my money back because there is no actully pc build that will require that type of wattage.
luvin that spaceman look
As far as the 2060 I had that issue,in my case it was bcz the vrm pads are too thick and they heat up and trigger the fans I used a 2.5mm copper shim and thermal paste and that solved my issue with noise…ymmv
Wish I had the time to look for juicy PC parts deals
Billy Idol - Cradle of Love Superb choice mate! Man of great taste!
You know how the saying goes... "Les is more!" 😊
You should have filmed testing those PSUs, wanted to see how it popped 😀
I see you Rocking the cradle.
Love your vids like this, keep it up!
3:18 That box looks how I expect the GPU street sellers look.
How much petrol do you normally use when going to pick up items from further distance?
nice shades buddy 😊
I had an MSI 1660 super ventus model, fans where factory locked at 40%. Temps where at 60°, still sounded line an airplane taking off.
Little Billy Idol on the playlist - nice.
Loving the Les deals.
Picked up something similar myself recently, with i5 7400’s with MSI MB’s, 1TB HD’s, 256 SSD’s 8GB ram for £30 a pop. 😎
The Macron joke got me😂
14:08 I have an MSI RTX 2060 SUPER Gaming X and the fans do get loud on that card, so what i done in MSI Afterburner is set a manual fan curve, also i have the fans running all the time at a minimum of 40% and don't use the zero fan option
I liked the old music so much I went and found the artist. Glad that it's back.
Love the show and certainly these type of episodes. This basically how I earn a living and love every min of it!
Few weeks ago went to an exchange. I asked for 5tb external usb 3.0, they pulled out a written 2tb for 61 euros and 5 warranty. I told them to check the wd elements on pc to verify its in good condition and show me. They said it was actually a 5tb partitioned to 2tb. So they ripped the warranty out and offered 61 euros without warranty or in a few hours 110 euros with 5 year warranty. I bought without warranty and got the best deal in a long time. Afterwards I went to a billion euro fnac French tech store, asked if they could verify if it needed repairs, 30 plus minutes later all checked out fine like exchange here in North of Portugal said, it was good condition and 1 month usage as in hours.
Your best part was the psus no doubt. Congrats.
Always a stash of bits! Never trust a psu with the bitcoin logo on the side, but nice finds on the others!
I semi-accidentally hoarded a dead Voodoo2 for 20 years in a draw in a shed.
Meanwhile I learned enough to fix it.
Even if its faulty it’s worth $$$ for collectors alone!
The 2000w psus are mining psus imho 12.9 is perfectly fine for that hardware as they have vrms rated at 16v…if it has a pot inside the psu it will be an adjustable 12v rail
I bought a i5 9400f and 2060 system for $200 that was taken apart and put back together... sorta...
They had the pcie power hooked up to the cpu header and the cpu power SORTA plugged into the gpu.
Swapped things around everything was good to go!
I'm surprised you're messing with that old core 2 system. Curious to see what you do with it
This is reason why I preffer watching Tech Yes City than my local tech youtubers in Poland.
Adventure of a bargain.
I didn't know that Ryzen 5 7500F's existed! I wasn't aware of F skew Ryzen parts. Although, since the entire line-up was originally all on-board Radeon graphics, I'm not surprised.
good job Spaceman !!!
I have pickup a stream deck mk1 normal size for 60 euros. It works now fine, but the older versions of stream deck was buggy.
14:25 maybe the fan bearings are going bad? Those MSI Gaming X/Z fans should be fairly quiet - they're large (95mm or 100mm I think) and spin at low RPMs relatively speaking. I had an RX 480 8GB Gaming X and it was weirdly loud - then I realized the fan bearings were on their way out, bought replacement fans, and then it was whisper quiet
If i were in your place Brian i would set a moving test bench in my vehicle and test things even if not completely but just at least make sure they even work
do you think its worth waiting for a sellers market to post your gaming pc builds?
Fav
Ahh, the good old 12v power supply fail.
But the lower voltage fans still spinning and no post trick - 3700x build
im visiting in Toowoomba..i just got a near new 4060 for $250. It came out of a pre built. I also got a i5 6600k and Z motherboard, Hyper V92 cpu cooler and case for $70 off him. Im always looking to buy cheap and flip em in my own sales.
Let's go Mega Man music! 🎵 You were looking more like Doc Brown from Back to the Future at the start there. Not sure if that's what you were going for.
I noticed you bench Robo Cop when game testing, how well will that game do on a 5600xt med-high 1080p? (R7 5700X)
PSU with the 12.5 V output may will be OK under load.
18:17 lol 90 Plus Gold "certification" on that T.F.SKYWINDINTL bomb
You should go for the Doc look from Back to the Future 😎
Fans are the same thing, i have box of em too just waiting for their moment.
Sometimes i buy new cases, and i swap out the original ones with others, i dont trash them, i store them, if i come cross more of the same units i can max them out for themed build.
Is annoying they sell cases that are not maxed out with the fans, and then you cant buy those exact models to max it out yourself.
18:30 : quite the opposite : That's *NOT* exactly right at all Bryan.
Haven’t you even heard the recent EVGA-PSU incident ?
Even in the …. SAME model of a PSU there can be changes/revisions in the layout and in this specific EVGA example this resulted in the destruction of both hard-drives of the owner alongside with their data😱 !!
( Hardware Busters : Why Long Warranty Periods are Not a Panacea: EVGA’s Example )
Do you avoid Radeon for your flipping? Or is there just no good Radeon deals?
Haven’t had that particular 2060 but I’ve had cards MSI cards with similar fans and they’re loud
If Xigmatech is pronounced "zig-Matic" this channel would be pronounced "Tic Yes City." You had it right the first time
this is your new mkt opp - don't forget about wheeling and dealing with very basic biz pc - no gpu needed - a good case for hoarding here - all that junk does tend to be useful later inevitably
LOL, that gpu bracket in prebuild Asus trying to hide the "Dwarfinism "?
that core2 quad would make a great retro gaming machine.
My friend got a 3080ti founders with a 750w MWE Gold from Cooler Master is this ok??
love these videos!!
The glasses are cool!!!!!!!!!
Can I ask what PSU tester is being used in the video?
Check the VBIOS on that noisy GPU just in case.
Cradle of Love : Billy Idol. Yeah, my kind of music!.
Oh yeah, heaps and heaps of PSUs!. Bravo on the Corsair ones. They last forever!....
With those faulty psu why not use the cables to make your own?
The pin layouts can be be found easily online.
As someone else said you got to be careful lots of these manufactures have own layouts and it can vary from psu to psu even if same brand (check on the cable for naming also multimeter)
grab it up 2600 great chip
I now have 3 optimal rigs and no longer have any interest in listening to tech news yet I am drawn to TYC. Cheers. We need another flip series. I finally ended up with a 4090/3900 pc from a 1660/i3 flip and a 7900GRE/5900x rig from a 580 8gb/3600 flip. Both following your series. My RTX A800 40gb is a different story that took me a year trading up but now makes me money hand over fist and all by accident. Cheers mate.
The best part of the cheap Q9650 pc is the SuperMicro motherboard!
That 1660 would go really well with the i5 8400 and the 500w psu in a flip up build
picking up a galax gtx 1080 while wearing the galax jacket. based
So,did you exchanged the blown up PSUs???
18:32 reason I have bins full of wires 😂 one bin for music cords/equipment and another 2 bins for just pc parts and cords. One day daddy will need it.
I read it as “zig-mah-tech”
Another banger Brian.
Thanks for putting in the work my guy.
Edit: the 2060 might be due to thermal pad degradation or not contacting one.
Are we getting an overseas part hunt any time soon?
I have a question. I see you using used parts and having obvious success putting them in new budget cases (usually with RGB) cleaning and flipping them. Is there any value using new premium sought-after cases with certain higher end used parts to flip for more overall, or are you just eating into your profits. I'm wondering about the value of a beautiful clean build in a high-end PC case on the used market.
RTX 2060 are £160 on CEX Website in the UK
Great deals!
i would upgrade that asus pc with the 2060 or the 1080 you got and put a brand new psu in it just so it wont ever come back faulty also 32gb of ram would do great also make sure you set that amd stock cooler on high speed switch on its side so it can cool down that 3700x
