Perfect for competitive gaming on low/mid settings thanx to SSE4.2 in the FX and the 1070. Great budget build!
i would say it would be a stutter mess those old fx chips are horrible for competitive e spor titles
It'll play most fairly well TBH. They definitely struggle a bit with CS2, but my old 8350 did really well with Rocket League and League of Legends and Splitgate, MCC. a lot actually. I haven't used it in a while though since I made a new battle station from the ground up. Don't sleep on the FX 😅
@@komikop the 1 and 0.1 per cent lows are disgustingly low with these cpus.
Yes! YES can fix it and squeeze blood from a rock.
Goblins unite!
i thought that already looked comically clean for the age before the cleaning
Those kids looked thrilled to get their hands on a whole budget system. 5-10 years from now they can boast they got into desktop gaming on a AMD FX system.
They can actually boast there's a whole YT video with thousands of views dedicated to their first PC.
Tech YES hustling, always the best
Pc cases from that time period were an absolute joy to work on. Everything fits in them great cooling and if you like hard drives. All the drive mounting you could want.
14:37 I think a better motto would be 'turning that trash into cash'
Would love to see more pc flipping videos ! Really enjoy them a lot
Nice video. Always fun to watch.
Nice . Always like to see your work !
You are so cool all the time! 😃 Yes, that system has a real banger of a motherboard.
no kidding, what a motherboard 😎
We love ya Brian! Top notch mate
Love the music on your channel Bryan ! 😄👍
Good Video! Thanks😊
I had the same exact CPU in the same exact motherboard years ago, along with a 980Ti
😊
980 Ti = 1070
Great content Bryan, love your shit, Keep er going
Man I love those old school cooler master v8's
Nice. Great to see more troubleshooting. Having 7900XTX issues not sure what might move it to it's old board but has been this week, Windows update or a driver update. Other rigs are working fine. Nice when we can play musical parts swap.
It came out nice. Solid quick flip too.
Thank you for sharing your experience and positivity. Recently I had interesting experience with ASUS ROG Strix x470 board it refused to post with XFX Quick 6600XT in top PCIE slot, I thought it was a old BIOS version but it never booted despite putting in it the 2080 which was there before and it boots right up. Only if you move the 6600XT in other PCIE slot it immediately works despite it working in the other z390 board no problem.
Nice job on the fix. That was a dirty machine - nice job on the cleaning as well.
Bri-daddy, you're the man! I had no idea you could boot a Mobo without the CPU connector. That's handy to know for future troubleshooting.
About power supplies and spare systems.
I luckily always have an extra system at hand, and also had a similar dead short power supply fault a few months ago. However, that was on a recently upgrade system, with the psu mobo and cpu being barely 2 weeks old.
I generally just keep my old system around to use as a server.
Damn I had no idea you change the brightness of your photos for listing, that's pretty good
Loving the classic banger quotes thrown in lol, been a while since i heard phatt bass
Happy Birthday!!!
Thanks Bryan for the old memories. I explored space with that cpu. Good music, good jokes...inside! :) Out.
Love that case I have three of them.
Love that content ! Make us more videos where you make someone's garbage become someone else's treasure please
Nice :) Love from Poland :)
I really like that older case. Looks great
Thank goodness it wasn't the sabretooth, I would have genuinely been upset..
(i've been trying to get one for the past 3 years but haven't stumbled across one for under $80 USD)
Long live the 8350, Master of Clock speed and consumer of power
I remember back in the day i got 4.8ghz on an 8350 with an MSI 970A motherboard and a GTX 1650 Super
Back in 2021 it ran fortnite performance mode at 165-220fps with occasional dips to the mid 90s, absolute BANGER!!!
This was a great use of those parts. I like how you break it down to each part on the price, because you really are getting a bucket of parts with these old systems to use wherever you want
Another great video Brian.
I have a lot of experience in building PC's with new parts, but little experience with buying used parts.
Your advice helped me help my daughters girlfriend purchase a second hand pc for a great deal. The guy wanted $650 Aussie for it, but did take an offer of $550 cash. The system looks new, and has great specs for the price.
Specs are.
CPU - Ryzen 5600x 6 core 12 threads
ASRock B450M mb
Cooler - Silverstone 240 liquid cooler
Ram - 16gb ddr4 3200mhz
Storage 1 - 256 gb m.2
Storage 2 - 500 GB HDD
Graphics card - rx 580 8gb
Darkflash - Pink case glass side panel
PSU - 550 watt 80 plus rated
Fans - 6 fans very cool
Rgb - Darkflash rgb
Windows - 10 Pro activated
WiFi - usb wifi included
Power cable included.
My daughters girlfriend is more than happy with her new pc.
Looking forward to your next video Brian.
Just love this channel so much! Giving used tech a new life and having a profit at the end of the day!
Ordered that PSU tester same one, you have through your link.
I could never sell that PC for that price here in UK. Good job bud
Nice clean PC!
Coolermaster v10 is so nostalgic.. had one when it was released all the back in 2009..
I recently had 2 separate old FX gaming pc's given to me and debating on upgrading to newer cases and reselling or using one for a home server and the other for my 5 year old who has been asking about a computer for him.
set one up for your kid
That gigabutt gtx780 was one of the best. The cooler was amazing for the time. I had the oc model and overclocked it loads and the cooler still kept it cool. 😎
Love to see the V8
hey Brian there is 4 screws either hex or Phillips head screws for the V8 cooler fan cover for it to come off. hope that helps
An Aerostar with a V8.....whodathunk!
Great video......again!
Very quick flip.
those old V8 coolers have bolts on the back plate of the motherboard that you can use a socket on to remove it without touching the screws, I had one on my old fx 8150
Uhh, the Coolermaster V8😍 , it has 2 more screws at the bottom to release the fan.
Had that beast of cooler for about 10 years on various PCs, last on a lga 2011 xeon.
I loved this! Nice. More of diagnose and flip afterwards stuff please.
Nice video
About time! Time to make some $$$$$
I have a FX8370 and 990fx Sabertooth mobo with 24gigs of ram I use as a media server.
Dishwasher works great for filters
I love your videos where you clean or deep clean PCs.
where did you get your power supply tester i am in need of one and can u do a video on how to test it how to read the testers results
I had very similar fault with TX 650. Similar system too.
We need some "CAN YES FIX IT"!
Tech yes troubleshooting
Tech Yes Loving to the rescue. 🙌😷💰
I bought one of those cases new back in 2009 so they are pretty old. But that case looks in much better condition then mine which also houses a faulty PSU which is also from 2009 and wasn't even a good PSU when new.
I've got a similar system but with ASUS M5A99X, works flawlessly but very occasionally on boot up it'll turn off straight away. Changed the PSU but the problem still persists.
I'll be honest, I thought it might have been spiders web shorting the board out but watching this I'm thinking it's the mobo, I'll try your teardown technique. Thanks!
Weirdest issue I had with a PC was when it's unplugged it wouldn't turn on anymore. I had to wire the reset button directly in to the green and black 24-pin cable of the power supply to make it work. Getting a new motherboard would have cost too much. It still works to this day!
I've had a faulty PSU that would only turn on when plugging the 24pin connector in and out while tapping the powerbutton. Normally it wouldn't turn on so any kind of reboot was a pain.
Motherboard probably recognized that it wasn't getting good power from corsair CX60 that I broke by cleaning the whole pc outdoors at -20C with compressed air and immediately plugged it back in when it was indoors
This comment is fascinating actually, so a motherboard that you connect the power switch to, wasn't booting from the motherboard, but then force feeding that 2 pin to the power supply and then it charging the motherboard works fine? I might try this on a board here that I know has a busted power switch on it.
I agree, never would have thought of this one. Neat!@@techyescity
I finally fixed up my old X58 system (x5675, GTX 980, 12gb triple channel ram) for a friend to play Destiny and Fortnite. He is happily enjoying it which goes to prove, there’s no bad parts just bad deals. One tech enthusiast’s trash is another tech enthusiast’s gaming rig.
Funny, had an FX8350 kill an EVGA GQ1000 as well. With exact symptoms.
Hello, I have recently been watching your videos and I would like to know if you know the brands AKASA and innova because I have two power supplies which are 550 w each. And if these brands are reliable and will last over time. Sincerely
I flip pcs and have noticed that Corsair psu’s aren’t the best at least in my experience. I’ve had a few that either short or only power on for a short time even my personal rm750i only lasted 4 years I tend to buy EVGA units for my personal pcs nowadays.
I have a ton of dead Corsair PSUs, yet a lot of CoolerMaster mid range units from 2011 still going strong. I don't rate Corsair memory either, I've had a lot but it never overclocks and I've got quite a few dead sticks too, of "top-of-the-range" Dominator Platinum
Nice clean up and putting that PC back in service is way better than the landfill. Love to see these types of vids Bryan! Around here the demand for $300-500 systems is high also. Lots of people want to game on PC and unfortunately so much of the marketing and FOMO out there has many convinced that you NEED a grand or more to get started. IMO used/new parts builds can be built as cheap as ever for 1080p gaming right now in the US anyway.
Ultra Sonic cleaner saved the mouldy dusty filters? Or too delicate.
This follows my experiences exactly. Dead Corsair power supplies doesn't surprise me, while CoolerMaster PSUs that are 15 years old rock in like new. My old Silent M.2 1000w Silver CM from 2011 that's ran 24/7 is running strong, while I can't count how many dead Corsair AXi super expensive digital units I have, and online forums are filled with dead unit complaints too. I've never ever been keen on Corsair, and I don't rate their memory either
Do you ever get any demmands for DL or VM rigs?
I personally had 3 systems in the past year start to fail all do to motherboards. 2 of them were running intel core2quad extremes one has a gtx 780 and a bunch of hard drives the second one was my unraid file server both failed within a month or 2 of eachother tried new ps and ever tried as last ditch effert changing mem and cpu to a known good q6600 non extreme core2quad.
im also having a problem with my sabertooth z87 motherboard not always booting without just gong into bios. i've tried updating bios moving my ssd's around onto other controller but it still randomly wont boot. Usually when I need to check something.
I had this happen with a brand new system with all new parts. Wound up being a psu sata cable
Great flip!, love your videos. I recently got a GTX 3060ti for cheap, it has been used in a humid environment and has some rust on the heatsink, any recommendations on how to clean it?
I would like to know this too.
That is an ex-mining card. Rust on the heatsink and rear io shield of the card is the Hallmark of poorly maintained mining cards. How much did you pay?
@@Dale-TND I got it for USD 80 so I figured it was worth the risk. Its working perfectly except for the rust.
Try CLR rust remover, it works great on old PC cases and stuff like that so I assume it would work on heatsinks@@oddhap
gtx 3060ti?
damn 8350 is a throwback, I remember building a pc back in 2014 and debating on if i should get an fx 8350 or an i7 4790k. Went with the 4790k and used it for over 8 years! Still holds up decently in 2023 but I have a 12700k now. That entire PC set up is a great deal for ~$300 USD
Went through that exact decision process in 2014. I made the opposite choice and within a year was wishing I'd gone with the 4790K. But my FX-8350 still works.
@@rangersmith4652 😂😂 I’m glad I made the right choice, and glad to see AMD has come a long way since then
Hi @TechYesCity can you make a video if i7 2600 can still game in 2023
Man I remember this Cooler Master "V8" cooler from back in the days. Calling a cooler V8 and giving it this appearance is so cheesy, it pretty much gets good again. :D
I have a CoolerMaster 212+EVO on my FX-8350. I bought it when they were having a mail in rebate so it only cost $15. I added a spare 120mm CoolerMaster bulk case fan for a push-pull config since the 212+ comes with an extra bracket for just that purpose. True, it doesn't look as "cool" as the V8, but it has kept my FX-8350 cool for 11 years now and cost a lot less.
This the question for the next video in my country gpus cpus motherboards are overpriced and in aliexpress those three are good deals but should i buy ssd and ram from aliexpress or not and since ssd and ram new in my country is kind good should i buy locally or not and thank you
its crazy how since the FX era nothing changed much they keep nerfing every part and charging double triple
I've had the 500 watt CX500 since 2015 in my FX8350 PC, and it's still running fine. I upgraded to the FX8350 in 2019, and I've added an RX 570 since. I realize it's pretty old stuff, but it has worked pretty well for me. I'm hoping to upgrade in the next year. I even got the FX8350 to run on the M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 with a BIOS update Asus provided back in the day. The chipset and power delivery are capable of handling the AM3+ CPU, and have worked fine with it for over 4 years now. Windows 10 is running fine without issues. So a motherboard from 2009 is doing pretty well. I wonder if a modern motherboard, at the cost they go for now, would be so robust and long-lifed. Here's hoping for when I upgrade.
make a video opening up that corsair HX power supply to see if theres anything in there obviously wrong and maybe harvest the fan from it
Good on ya Bryan i have the same power supply tester there good that was a good deal with that one love it i have lots old stuff to
try a big flat head driver
I don't see what you see at the moment Bryan. Motherboards and CPUs here in DK are stupid. People want more for a platform with 5930k in it, than I can get a Ryzen 5 3600X+B450 combo brand new for... but full rigs are price rather low. So flipping here is hard atm. I have parts for 2 systems ready to go (haven't bought GPUs - thankfully) but can't find CPU-mobo combos to pair them with. It's a bummer!
There's some banging deals on GPUs atm, but I'm afraid to purchase - cause I can't complete the flip...
Should I just take the L, buy some platforms and get the systems flipped for very litte profit/small loss? Or hold?
That's cool, and it was neat that you showed the process of diagnosing the issue. That kid is gonna have a blast messing around with the fixed up system.
But I see _a lot_ of 2nd hand PCs from around this era (intel 3-4th gen), and I really wonder whether there's any point keeping these systems in rotation, or if they're waste. They really are more than a decade old at this point, and newer stuff isn't _that_ much more expensive. Where I am, for the equivalent of maybe 150 AUD more, you start seeing Ryzen 2nd gen, Nvidia 30 series, etc. which probably have a real shot of running a few more years instead of needing to be upgraded almost immediately.
Intel 4th gen still has a little life left in it, at least the overclockable variants have. I probably wouldn't pair them with anything above the Nvidia 10 series though.
Xeon E3 chips are i7 class for 10-20 all day long. Swap in Xeon 1240v2 1240v3. Still have some life.
i have had corsair ram and corsair power supplies both fail when new so it does not surprise me years of new parts teaches one what not to buy anymore
1080p gaming pc. 😊
FIRST thing I would have done, is changing the PSU !
buy a good psu they said.
crap brands are bombs they said.
I bought a corsair RM550 and one of the main capacitor popped.
It was 5 years old.
A tiny pinhole and burned liquids.
I'm only pulling 240W max at the wall.
I used an FX8350 for almost a decade until I upgraded to an i3 12100f last year which is around 50% faster than the FX8350.
with a modern GPU it's more like 200% faster
@@blackknight50277621 Well I am currently using a 3060 Ti with it. Which I originally used a GTX 960 2GB card with my FX8350.
How do i buy pc parts from you sir?
Love that case
I love the late 2000s aesthetic, and was chasing down some cases I wanted. I got a Lanboy Air, Corsair C70 and a Super Lanboy. Unfortunately, the Super Lanboy doesn't have it's front fan grill, but I figured I could 3D print something to replace it. The C70 is a bit beat up, but I think that adds to the look of that particular case.
we need to see you grow a beard mate!
Hey Bryan, how is your experience with the Tax free in Japan? It seems tighter than last time I went here on 2019.
Given how badly the FX chips stutter, I'd avoid them, older i5 and i7s will always work better. But, I'm sure there are many out there who are interested in older, quirky tech than I am.
The flipster
To quickly check the startup of the power supply, a regular paper clip will do - just connect the green (PS_ON) and any black (COM or GND) contact of the 24-pin connector (use “ATX PSU Pinout” if all the wires of the psu are black). And it’s strange to be surprised at the failure of the hi-end PSU model, considering that they have a bunch of all-round protections. I'm almost sure that the power supply from the video will be able to start forcibly (bypassing the supervisor (short FPO and GND)).
Yeah have seen it before. I even tried washing it and drying it too. Something is just gone on it.
PSU paper clip jump start is always a thing I do also. Allot of the old school psu's needed to have a power out signal to turn on, I still hook up a single fan to a psu when testing. The fan in the psu is connected to the board.
dat lian li case cost more than 100$ in my country :((
I am kinda lost so I am asking the lord Tech Yes Lovin' himself - I have cleaned more PCs than I can remember, but the last one refuses to post after I used multi purpose spray on the motherboard, it turns on but even when I really made sure to blow the residual oil out, it will not post...the PC ran nonstop for several years before being unplugged and decommissioned and me cleaning it, so I am fearing that the motherboard was just so close to dying that me cleaning it did the deed for good
That Lian Li case is probably worth close to $200 by itself to someone who wants to build a home NAS in a desktop form factor.
I've had 2 expensive power supplies die on me, shit happens
hey! Brayan what do you think about pairing ASRock steel legend b450m with Ryzen 5800x3d. will it work??
I would like to know this too.
yes it will work fine if you update the bios. I have a 5700x running on an Asrock B450 Pro4 which is a lower model than steel legend and it runs great.
@@rjy87 what about the ram speed max supported
.@DANCANAPLAYS 3200 is the safest bet but depending on the ram you could probably get 3600 to work fairly easily. x3d doesn't really need super fast ram anyways
ASRock web page for that mobo > Support > CPU Support List. Yes, the 5800x3d will work. It is validated for BIOS P4.30.
Personally, I would have swapped out the psu first.
