excellent what's up guys and welcome back to what is I guess my third video on this particular build I've already shown you the build process itself I have also shown you how to get yourself a Windows 10 om key for about $20 from King Gwinnett which I have installed on here and is working just fine so far I'm going to be taking the system over to deliver it to my parents today so I'm going to do a little bit of a side-by-side comparison of the old system and the new system it's not going to be a fair fight by any stretch but I do want to show hopefully what kind of vast improvement that we've made by going with a newer system with an SSD and better fans and it should be quieter and all that good stuff should also be more energy efficient thanks to at 80 plus gold power supply anyway though let's get this started off because before I head over to make delivery I want to give this even a better edge than it already has and that is to take advantage of the fact that we're using the Intel Pentium anniversary edition g3 258 and we should be able to overclock that so anyway also I just booted up which was very fast I meant to show you guys that ok my first attempt to get into the BIOS failed because it booted up too quickly so I'm restarting to see if I can get there by tapping the delete button on startup and if it's still too fast then I'm gonna have to use alternative means alright good it worked alright so the first thing I actually checked here was my bios version right now we're on f6 there is an f7 version available but that was just an update to support Broadwell CPUs and since we're not using that I think I can get away without doing the BIOS update so here we can see sort of the the frequency settings which had popped us into automatically we got performance upgrade we got CPU base clock I think I'm just going to set the base clock to right where it should be my mouse is floaty can I punch this in now punch in gigabyte 100 there we go alright other than that I'm not going to do a whole lot of special goodness here I'm just going to go to our CPU clock ratio and let's try I'm just going to take a shot in the dark 42 maybe we can do 42 for 4.2 gigahertz overclock and we'll we'll just see if this works I guess I'd also need to turn this on on with this on/off button alright I'm going to keep it simple and just do that same reset and see if we can get a clean boot here if it does boot up fine I'm just going to load up a quick little load test in the operating system in Windows 10 to make sure I don't get any immediate failures and then I actually better get going because I actually have a lunch I'm going to have lunch with gigabyte and Kyle and then go to my parents house okay all right well good news right off the bat is we've booted so that's always nice okay so there goes prime95 um I am pretty much just keeping an eye on you know speeds and temps and everything fortunately multipliers looking good we're running at 4.2 gigahertz on both cores which you guys can't see cuz I'm on the way hold on hold on Hey okay we're weird 4.2 gigahertz on both cores as we can see you down here for our peak we're enabling speed States properly so it is throttling down when it's not under load temperatures are looking pretty good too we've hit 57 c-max and right now I did I'm just doing the blend test with prime95 so I'm let it cycle through a few of these and just kind of see how things go and probably going to go and get ready to to leave and I'll let this sitting for the next five or 10 minutes at least and honestly in in 99.5% of my tests in the past if you leave a prime95 test running for about 15 minutes you're almost guaranteed that it's it's going to be good as far as a burning goes sometimes might wanna leave running overnight if you want to be like absolutely for sure but for what my parents are going to be doing on this they never get e they're never going to touch anything close to what prime95 is doing so I think we'll be good for that so I'll be right back and yeah I'm very happy with this whole system so far it's very snappy okay I'm back this has been running for well let's say about 12 minutes now and I'm happy with the results as is everything staying within range temps did creep up a little bit more but we hit 64 65 degrees Celsius max which is really not bad at all voltage is 1.2 or just over 1.2 again I didn't touch that in the BIOS or anything and that's a perfectly acceptable voltage to be running at so I'm passing all the prime95 tests just fine anyway though I'm going to get this shut down and packed up I'm gonna head over to my parents house I don't get to show you guys my old mile bedroom that I grew up in it's the computer room now it's kind of fitting I guess look at that look at that lovely picture right there recognize see that's me this is my sister's okay anyway here's my bedroom through here my old bedroom so yeah I remember I used my bed my bed's right here just just right where I left it as you can see man it seems smaller than it used to be but I guess you know I'm larger now so that's probably actually others that this is a changing table my sister lives here with my parents currently and her and her husband my brother-in-law that's the computer that I built with him down there on the floor place of shame for some reason I yell at him when he gets back and tell him to get that up off the floor anyway the old room etc etc but basically like I said it's been made into the computer room this is the hutch sort of thing over here I need to get them a new monitor too that's probably gonna be next on the list anyway old system is down there let's let's take a look at what is actually in that old system I don't we check out the Suites this is I believe the new mechanical keyboard from Corsair it's right here uses the new Cherry MX ultimate switches now this is this is super old mouse and keyboard from Microsoft look it's good remember when everything was this beige color entry glad stuff isn't that color anymore and then look we also have a trackball a Logitech trackball I really don't like track balls but I'm I might be forced to use this and I have a spare mouse that I brought so maybe we'll switch to that this one also looks like it's gotten a fair amount of use anyway though the computer itself is down here in the little cupboard of shame this is an antique Sonata case I do remember that but it's in one of these little cupboard things they built you know because it's like hey we have a computer that generates a lot of heat let's make a little box for it too to shut it in so that everything gets super warm this little box actually does have a vents that's down there in the back but there's also a shelf or that like there maybe was a shelf in here at one point that's been removed and set along the side here towards the back it's like completely blocking the outlet so all right so I've heard this takes a while to boot up we're gonna head power and see how long it takes hey we booted up hooray okay guys before I put the system out of its misery I wanted to do one or two other quick tests the first test was just like what the heck is even in this system actually pulling up this properties panel when I first booted took an insanely way to long amount of time I can explain why though anyway anyway but what's inside this is an Intel Core 2 Duo II 8500 at 3.1 6 gigahertz it's got 4 gigs of RAM and it's running on Windows 7 now one of the main complaints about this system is that is just so incredibly slow to do anything whether it's booting up or otherwise you might notice for example that the hard disk drive is nearly full it's only 250 gig drive in there and there's only 971 megabytes of space left that will almost always slow you way way down when your main drive is almost full it's also mechanical drive so that's not good either but just to give a basis for comparison here let's quickly start up something simple how about Firefox all right clicking in Firefox now and let's see how long Firefox takes to load that's working it's thinking about Firefox it's like I might load Firefox here wait what just happened oh yeah no it's loading there it is oh we almost got the Google logo come on Google look there it is okay now if that was a ridiculously long too much amount of time for you to load up something as simple as a web browser well um I don't know clear out your hard drive and hopefully your computer doesn't load quite this slowly button anyway that's enough testing with this system it's driving me insane I'm going to pull this out of here and switch to the new system here are the two computers side by side new computer on the left hopefully obviously old computer on the right and apologies to you guys I know the lighting in here is not all that great and that my shadows in a shot there's nothing I can do anyway new computer you've already seen looking super nice and sexy old computer this is the Antec Sonata a case that I have used several several occasions in the past I learned eventually to hate this case because the power supply can't be removed without pulling it through this section and I had a power supply die and an antique Sonata build and I had an aftermarket CPU cooler on it that was that big and basically I couldn't remove the power supply without removing the entire motherboard because the CPU cooler had the backplate on it and yeah I had to pull the whole thing out just remove the damn power supply that's when I fell out of love with the enttec Sonata but other than that it's a pretty nice case and if you're only using a stock cooler like this one then you're not going to be facing that problem but hey check it out look there's some IDE in here the motherboard is the p5 nd which is an Asus board old standby on LGA at 775 I believe is what this is I also have a discreet graphics card anyhow this is an AMD I don't even know what AMD card that is the Sapphire there's our trusty 250 gig drive actually all all things consider the cable management in here I did build this system if you use back-end and hey I fortunately it's still in pretty good shape again I think it's mainly that hard drive being fold it was causing most of the slowdowns and everything also the fact that it's a mechanical drive and it's a using an 8500 Intel chip instead of something that's you know made within the past three years all that said though all I'm really going to do here just pull this hard drive out drop it into here and that way we can take all the data just as is and pull it on to the new system and everything and then I'll probably just leave that old drive in there is a extra storage drive or something like that it's still got life in it ok let's move on you know WD 250 gig okay the swap has been made new computer is down there in the little cubby for the record I don't I don't approve of these little cubby things but this one does actually have some holes down in here for some intake ventilation and then there is that all this area for air to escape in the back not ideal but hey huh it's already there I have switched over to this mouse a wireless mouse which is nice and now I'm just going to do another boot test to compare the booting times for the new system and the old system here we go and how and rebooted that wasn't too long at all and now just in the comparison test to just pull up a browser you're not pretty pretty basic straightforward thing that you would do with a computer right I am using Chrome it's at a Firefox but there it is that's how long I would expect it to take like a legal uh Google look there it is there's Google all right very happy with the the change over so far let's see if my mom thinks so guys now we have come around to the moment of truth I'm introducing you to my mom hi mom hi guys okay mom say hi to the internet internet be nice that's my mom um and I wanted to give her kind of a litmus test so mom if you don't mind can you reach over there and turn on the new computer and we're going to give a little comparison here granted you guys already saw that the time difference but them my mom has been using the old computer in its old state and I think she might be a little bit more impressed with this one just something I already have I pushed the button and there was a nearly immediate response all right there it is it's booted all right so just yeah so just that wasn't too bad there's a little bit that's crazy a little bit faster than the old one I so just click anywhere and then your password is the same except the first letters capital and there is now you're in Meaghan windows amazing it's almost usable as a computer again okay and then one last little test - and that's just to launch Chrome and we'll check out the weather and see how quickly we can access that just a single click should be all it takes and then we got a shortcut that we made up at the top and look the weather is just there amazing you can see two degrees in February and see that it's way too hot wait wait how do then it should be yeah all right that's crazy so do you think you might actually start using the computer again I might use the computer again yeah this is just fun excellent fighting all right mission accomplished and so ended my little project to get by parents a new computer I'm glad to have gotten them an upgrade granted that old computer probably could have been rehabilitated with an SSD and that kind of thing but hey going with some newer hardware means we're using more energy efficient equipment that's not going to generate as much heat reason a much better power supply that's 80 plus gold rated that's going to save a little bit on the power bill and I'm very confident that this little dual core system can do everything that they need for the time being the jury is still out on whether or not I'll be able to convince my mom to take a PC gaming but who knows maybe I'll drop a graphics card in there in the future and I'm sure there's other applications for this computer as well but in the meantime guys thank you so much
