Just got a G20CB at a garage sale for $100 fully working but mucked right up with all types of farm furs!!!! Cleaned it up, already fully reset from previous owner running a 6700 and a 1080 reference and this is a great prebuilt for what it was back in its release! Still getting the job done in 2024, going to be watching your other vids to do a complete tear down on it
Hello does it freeze or lag for you
I think it's cool that you went the extra mile to keep something unique alive
I admire your obsession to get that thing working! It shows that you're a great builder.
Thanks
Great video. So glad it worked out for you. That thing the eay it sits is still worth about $350-$400 so I'd say it was definitely worth your time.
I'm happy that cooler worked out for you. It's great to see that PC back on its feet again.
still have my build i built in 2014/2015. Its an i7 4790K with 32Gb of ram (DDR-3) 1600. It has a classic cooler master evo 212 (double fan), with a 1660 super on a gigabyte z97 board. Got an nvme 500Gb running at 1500 read write approx; limited to port speeds with a SP 4TB ssd 2.5" for storage; powered by an evga 650 watt gold PS semi mod wrapped in an Novatech eclipse case. Has a be quiet 140 fan up front and a 120 as an exhaust.
Great vid, love ur vids!
Thanks!
I know it was satisfying to just be able to complete it after all the run around with it. I hate setting projects aside for one reason or another, but love coming back and being able to finally finish.
I bought the same one from eBay in 2021. I think I paid $133 usd. It was described not working or not tested. It looked like it was stored in the garage. Luckily no moisture got it and no signs of rust, just dust and leaves. I did a thorough clean up and changed the thermal paste. It had 16gb of ram too. The g20 didn’t post, just turned on and no display. Also tested the hdd separately and it was dead. I saw that the bios chip was in a socket and thought maybe get that changed and see. Luckily found someone who sold a programmed bios chip for the Asus g20 for $18. Swapped that out and thank god it booted. Then got an 500gb ssd for it, which I slot in the tray above the dvd. Also got a 6pin to 6pin pcie gpu power cable for $13. And had to get a second power adapter for the gpu power. It came with a gtx 780 but not the supplemental power adapter that’s why I had to get that. I got the additional 6pin just incase I need more power for another gpu. I’m still using it as a htpc for my bedroom. I’m waiting on getting a gtx 1080ti for it or maybe a Radeon rx 5700xt. I’m also thinking maybe trying out the arc gpus as well. I read somewhere that the bios can be modded to enable rebar so want to figure that out and if it does might go that route. I love the form factor of these and the g20 is quiet enough for my room too. I’m glad to see you trying to fix it ❤
This basically looks like one of those SFF Dell computers but with laptop ram and triple the price it's actually a bit mindblowing. I remember these and how much they cost and they were easily over 1500$ or at least where i live it was
Sorry I wasn't up to catch you, but you know I like your content and glad your back miss my RGB makes it faster
Much appreciate and thanks for the support!!
Hey there DLM:
I’m glad you were able to get the stock heatsink. Even for $150 that’s a good deal for the performance and aesthetics, and it’s a cool little computer. I still play some games the 4790 with a 1070 and as you mentioned it still holds up well. It’d be cool to mod a newer board from like 10th gen or something like that
I thought about it, espeically using one of those pico power supplies
Nice! Good to see this completed.
Good job finishing it up.
Delid that sucker!
$50 for a heatsink and they told me being a hoarder doesn't pay off hahahha.
Thank Dracula for the cooler lmao!
That would be cool to find that very same PC tossed out!
I have one. I love it. looking to upgrade GPU to 1080ti they do run hot mid 80's. There are a few of those for sale in my area.
Another great video! I was waiting for this one to come out. Keep up the good work dude. Hope the family is well!
Appreciate it!
I had mine upgraded to 9980hk+rtx 3070+ax 210. I still wish to upgrade it to rtx 4070!
You mean in this case? How did you manage that? I have one of these and now you’ve got me curious.
@@wenloco All you need to do is to update the motherboard bios which you can find in the forums online. The Rog G20cb/ci models support up to i9 9900, they share the same 1151 socket.
@@user-ot3py6nc1z I read a few of those posts but never got a definitive answer on whether it works or not… do you have a discord?
@@user-ot3py6nc1z do you have the link I can't find it was thinking of upgrading mine
@@varulwif you find out please lmk
should I say my ausa g20 since 2015 has only done is put tin 1070 founders edition and way to buy new power supply
Seems to be pretty balanced between CPU and GPU
release it today!
Fix problème 🤗🤗🤗
I Bet You To Can Be Installing NH-L9i
too tight near the capacitors
I saw that shaking the head ROFL
lol..
Is there a link to a seller for the heatsink? Might have damaged mine upgrading the ram
I had a viewer find it on ebay for me and it was the only available.
If I were to change the gpu do I need to get a bigger power supply
yea, they sell a higher option power brick.
What would you need to run the 1660 super ? I have that model of tower, the G20AJ with its original parts, but I'm wanting to upgrade from the GTX 750 but I'm not sure what else I would need to upgrade to handle the higher graphics card
what's the plan for it now? Sell it on?
I sold it, was offered doubled what I was into it, could not turn it down.
I have a g20 came from the Netherlands. It won't display on my monitor. Any tips of what I can do?
check the power brick it has two... one for the cpu and the other for the gpu, one of them could be bad.
Also tried the igpu to see if the gpu.
@DLMtechgarage tried it all, sadly the gpu is dead. Any recommendations for new gpu? Low budget so I can't upgrade any other parts. Used gpu 1070 recommendated from ebay or no?
1660 super goes very well with it along with a 1070, that's what i ran, but if money is a factor consider a 1060.@@stephanievdongen
@@DLMtechgarage thank you!
@DLMtechgarage if money wouldn't be an issue what is best to run with the power supply?
Have you considered undervolting?
I did the gpu to help out but the cpu is locked in the bios
damm that looks like a ps4 on steroids
i know right lol..
Got RGB so it's diff faster ROFL
always!!
Hey are you busy a friend of mine sent you an email almost a month ago and he told me you didn't look at it?
Hmmm I wish I had a gaming PC :(
