what's up guys Jays $0.02 here and remember this computer this thing I did a video about probably the most common comment on there was like oh that wiring and I was like you know I'm just gonna leave it well we can't do that we can't we can't leave it but one of the reasons why I'm gonna go ahead and rewire it is because I also alluded to a problem that he had told me about that I just completely neglected to even really talk about later on in that video so we're gonna talk about that as well so we're gonna go ahead and do one more video about this particular computer and I'll tell you guys I don't know stuff about things and computers so what we usually do around here the new z10 gaming keyboard from EVGA features a built-in two port USB hub volume slider three-step adjustable wrist rest and an onboard LCD display allowing you to keep track of your PC's pxo see stats core clock and more find out everything that the z10 gaming keyboard can do by heading to EVGA calm so the reason why I have heaven running here is because I was trying to at least put a load situation on this this is a Radeon r9 280x not the most demanding of graphics cards but it is a custom XFX card so it's got an 8 pin and a 6 pin PCI Express but it's running fine temperature-wise were good 62 see it's not dripping anything so I don't know if the power supply was actually bad but once I see that over volt protection I I'm not comfortable at the power supply anymore don't want to take a chance on their computer when I have the ability to swap it out for them and I'm not gonna charge them for any of this I just don't want their computer to die so I'm gonna be putting in a master watt 550 and the reason for this the wattage is perfect this is a 46 70 K with a like I said a 280x not a very demanding system but we've got all black cables so that's gonna allow me to go ahead and kind of clean up this mess most common comment like I said in the intro was oh my god that wiring how dare they well we're gonna go ahead and fix that for them while we're in there so with all that said let's go ahead and get to it here's our s XFX - ATX oh look at the dust in that yeah we got more cleaning to do on this definitely something I also want to mention - about the smart disable on the other video I disabled it so that I could get past it to get into the OS because once you get that error didn't want to continue past it but I did Irene abled smart check and we did not get a smart check failure which is why a lot of you got mad like why would you disable smart guys it was just temporary and it wasn't smart on the SSD that was failing it was on their Western Digital black drive I did indeed tell them you need to back up this hard drive and replace it but yeah I'm not showing you guys the back again because I don't think anyone wants to see that carnage what you doing don't show them this no so you guys saw the long list of issues this computer had in the other video something else I'm noticing here is if you look at this the motherboard is missing like most of its standoffs you see that you know I want to talk about this real quick and I want to talk about the community for just a second because I saw a lot of really just unwelcoming comments from people guys nobody builds their first computer and does it right and perfect the first time it's really wrong for you guys to be as judgmental as you were regarding this person's build that's not the kind of community that we want to condone around here my whole point with this channel is to teach people and help people have confidence in doing these types of builds and build their first computer and stuff and there's nothing more shitty and building your first computer and being proud that it booted and then having the community just shit on you because the wires aren't as pretty or as clean as you think they should be so you know what knock that shit off so now that preacher Jay is done let's go ahead and take this antic out of here I could not get it to give me another voltage warning but like I said once I see them once I'm not comfortable with leaving it in there so the reason why this is so wobbly the there's only two screws holding in the motherboard the bottom right and the top left kind of reminiscent of the way Jerry builds computers yeah that's a that's a throwback to is challenge accepted way of building time build and on top of that only two standoffs so I'm starting to wonder if maybe the voltage issue we were dealing with was potentially because of the fact that it could have been groaning back here because I even see scratches here because you see how you have these these solder 's that stick out these are technically coated to keep from hopefully causing shorts but if there's no standoffs and this thing's being pushed back that could cause the problem so obviously we're gonna be adding some standoffs to this now cleaning off this cooler or a little more which looks like somebody has spilled something liquid in this computer at one point - like that looks like liquid like someone dropped coke or something in here another reason why I personally don't put computers on the floor next to my desk either the nice thing about having so many cases and stuff around here and all the little toolkits and stuff that come with them is I have tons of standoffs available so there's that this was probably a little bit of a rush job on their part that could have potentially caused quite a bit of damage a lot of people were getting mad at me like Jay you should have you should have just handled that I'm flying I'm handling it now get off my nuts it also has mismatched RAM we have two different types of ballistics in here so this is starting to look more and more like a PC building simulator build I do that all the time on there to save money I just kind of put in cheap Ram with expensive Ram if they want an upgrade don't ever know the difference there we go all right so we got all those standoffs in there now I'm also gonna be replacing the fans on their cooler they had some mismatched fans here one of the zalman fans and this antique fan this antique fan is not looking too good there's a lot of side-to-side movement of this not just up and down which is normal but side-to-side this fan will probably go bad next and I'm putting in two of my these are the older ek fans these are the ek silent 120s so we'll be putting those on there which will obviously increase the aesthetics of the build a little bit as well and I'm also gonna be putting more screws in their hard drive because there's only one holding that on there where I'm gonna have my friend give a talk to their friend remember this isn't my friend's computer this is this is one that he was trying to help out with that he finally was like dude dude I need you to take over on this one I was like the other thing too was on the cpu fans each family plugged into something else so they weren't running like the same steam and so you'd have the fan blowing harder into the other fan not letting the air out which was just counterproductive so ended up taking off this top fan to have better access to the 810 EPS power and then these fan headers because this this case although a good case is a before they really started giving thought to having room for radiators and top fans and you know room to get your hands in there it's not got both of those plugged into CPU optional and CPU main CPU header so now both of these fans will actually work together for all those people that gets really triggered by emblems and stuff being upside down unfortunately this one has to be upside down I am so not a fan of these clips long as I can't see this other hole haha was much easier that way holy crabs this is also like kinda before the era of quick release well that's not even the right screw either I wonder why it was like really loose cuz this is the one that's really fine thread like you would use on like an SSD you know this PC was bad when people were accusing me of staging it if I was gonna do something for the sake of a video I would say guys I'm doing this just to show you I would say it again before the era of being really well thought out in terms of cable management and would you look at that well what just looked at it and I'll plugged in at the end I want to break it what's interesting about this cable is it's got a floppy to molex and to SATA on the exact same cable so the only two things like pre-wired on the power supply here is 24 pin and a pin EPS and again I'm not too concerned about this being 100 watts less I know the hardware they're using I still don't think the power supply is going bad but I'd hate to go through all this work and then just have it be like guess what J we got at home and it it gave us the magic smoke yeah we go see if I can't get this actually go up through here the problem is they didn't make a very big hole you know I mean I should just change out this top fan to at night this is a 2400 rpm pin this is going to be really fast but they didn't really seem to care about the noise to begin with so I'm not gonna worry about the noise this ended up being like a complete teardown which was not what I was expecting I expected to come in today and just do wiring so that the internet would just shut up I'm glad I did though you found again just so much more wrong now this one I've got the wire hanging down here because I'm just gonna go ahead and plug this one in to the chassis header so graphics card another comment was why they why are they using a PCIe network card when they have one built in I don't know I plugged I plugged my Ethernet into the one on the motherboard and it didn't detect so maybe it's bad maybe then install the drivers I don't know this is way it came in so that's the way it's going back so as a front side looking a little bit more presentable Internet do you want to throw up in your mouth a little less now and we've ready to fire it up and make sure it all works because now that I took it all apart knowing my luck something probably isn't gonna work now that's all just part of the fun that's what it is fun is having we're having so much fun around here okay moment of truth okay everything's turning all the fans are blowing the right way from fins are going all the fans are go you can hear them and it started preparing okay so we have to probably reset our BIOS SATA boot order because I replug everything in I probably didn't plug everything back into the same port that originally came out of so we're just gonna set that all I'm gonna do right now is boot override to make sure it works and I'm gonna rearrange the ports to see if I can't get to show up there goes so simple enough this isn't plug it into a different port and we'll be up and running guys are you happy now hmm are you happy is this better is this acceptable for the PCMR does this fix your OCD there's this unwritten cringe you I hope so cuz that's it I'm done with this one alright guys thanks for watching and as always I'll see you in the next one where I'll probably be making you cringe again so with you
