so today I thought I'd do a little bit of a different vlog and show you guys behind the scenes of all the used parts that have been building up around the channel and damn there is quite a lot of this stuff here so let's get through it all welcome back to the channel guys this is brian coming to you guys today with a little vlog where I'm just showing you behind the scenes of what's been going on with tech s city and as you probably know if you've seen in the past I broke my toes so that actually sent me back a lot in terms of time because I had bed-bound for a few days and even then I'm pretty slow even now so it'd be another couple of weeks until I'm fully functional again but we've got here just a lot of live what's been going on in the last few weeks as I've found myself having all these parts but not having sort of extra parts to finish the build so what I did was I ordered a heap of different drives like hard drives off the options I ordered a heap of different coolers heap of power supplies heap of cases and so pretty much when I get like a graphics card like this in which is like a 69 70 and I go like saying for instance a combo like the p55 I can then just go and bang out a build for you guys without having to worry about what parts I need now the best part of all this is probably over here this is kinda like my special table this here is actually going to be a bill that I'm really looking forward to with the seven nine seven T and the X 58 in the year 56:14 is going to be like the king of price performance in my opinion going to be doing that and I'm going to be doing a giveaway for you guys so that's sort of like the project that I'm really lying off the money a lot of people want to see this one as well this is the e 526 75th reasons the Haswell one I've actually booted this up already so it is confirmed working it works perfectly with this motherboard I've just ordered in some ram there which actually memory prices are really cheap at the moment so they're kind of like what they were before that factory floor and all the prices went up so it's actually a good time to buy memory now and back there we've got kind of like ddr3 memory which I've just ordered in to find myself needing a lot of that stuff as well over there is kind of like a junk motherboard I don't know why I've kept this but I just have because I'm waiting on a BIOS chip to come in so I can test it out and see if it was the bias that was corrupt on that motherboard from that previous build in the past but anyway that's what's been going on in this room I've actually got some power supplies in the work not checked so I figured you guys would probably want to check in with me and we'll see if these things are junk or fun baby okay so here's the test bed over here we actually got this 850 watt power supply it's an Oran purse of the gold rated power supply and now I'm going to be hooking this up to my trusty server board which I got for like 30 bucks I absolutely love this thing because it's a pretty stop board and it has all the beep codes built on so doesn't it you don't need an extra speaker it just reads it all out from this thing here so awesome let's get on with the tests all right look at that 12 all right four different lines there with 25 days on each rail this thing go to work all right so it's finally time we're gonna switch this little bad boy on now I actually didn't realize this was another one that I ordered in I don't know why this one got in faster I guess the guys just really quick on his shipping so that beep is a good sound we didn't hear any popping but we're just going to boot it up and see if it works I think it's one of these pins I forget which one it actually is one of these pins boots it up and so looks like it's working this is the a spell interesting brand I've got it I mean I vaguely remember this brand I haven't heard of them lately so maybe they went out of business but anyway we get a signal out of the single wife as soon as the signal comes on then we know our power supply is pretty much good to go you guys are just seeing this light this is like behind-the-scenes stuff this is how I usually test off so nothing really much to hide here it's got my little test bench over here and you should be putting on that shingle there is that took ages like literally that took ages so next up here we have a 500 watt power supply this is from the a spell as well back bill it's got 470 watts on the 12 volt one so I like this I picked this up for around about ten dollars but there's just one little problem it's like when I smell it it just smells a little bit off so anyway let's just test it let's test it out all right it's time for the moment of truth with the a spell now hopefully we hear the beep okay that's it that's a good sound that's a good sound of you let's just start this thing up like I really forgot which pin it was I remember I checked on the net but it's one of these in the middle all right cool so yeah this power supply works I don't know what the little smell was what that was about but maybe it's just a new power supply I mean if we look closely like man it looks like it hasn't even been used once so brand new like 500 watt power supply for ten bucks I'll take I'll take that damn this monitor takes a long time to play get out of signal 2 so I'm hoping the signal comes through soon but other it is cool all right sweet this power supply works too so yeah we've got to funks so far and no junk now this was this motherboard that I got completely hosed on I actually had to seal it in this cabinet here because it reached like it absolutely stank this thing is a health hazard like a legitimate health hazard and um I'm actually going to go to the police when I get some time and report this guy for fraud because he didn't even like in his auctions he didn't mention like at the back of the board here it's severely crisp and like it's toast there and when I pulled this heatsink off it was mainly actually back of the board as well there is some serious damage to this modern board just here as well I'm like he actually put up photos of a new motherboard for like one that had absolutely problems at all so ya gonna report this guy so you know it's not always appropriate thinking oh you get lucky with the parts no like i get seriously hosed some of the time so I actually gotta close this thing up because it just reeks oh my God look what just came in the mail this is that 850 watt power supply that I was talking about before I actually wasn't home when it tried to come so we are gonna jump in the car and we're gonna go get it car locks actually got to turn the exposure down damn it's like I mean why doesn't man that's cool so I think the exposures set just about the right level and we're gonna talk about hardware for you guys so GTX 780 I have put one on bid so hopefully I'll win the bid and then I'm gonna be doing that video for you guys because I've got a heap of archive benchmarks that I can cross-reference and when I do that I'll be able to tell you what it exactly is going on with the drivers because I've got the exact same settings I've got the exact same levels and you know what I mean all those settings are consistent so I can pull them up and then I can redo the benchmarks for you guys and tell you what's exactly is going on behind the scenes with Kepler as well as the fact that I do want to test the GTX 780 in Premiere Pro because there's this big rumor flying around it you know they're supported the officially supported cards work a lot better than say your GTX 970 your maxwell base cards so i'll be doing that test as well and there's just so many tests to come that i figured would you guys prefer if i sort of lower the quality and get more content out or just keep up that high quality that I've been doing in the past because it's just so hard because I you know I spent hours and was editing videos to get the look right and if I can't get the look right then you know the video is going to be unprofessional so I don't know this is why I wanted to vlog about it and sort of talk to you guys directly and see what you wanted to get out of the video also another thing I wanted to talk about was the upgraders edge I thought I used to be diagnosed with that problem like I thought that was my problem you know I just had to constantly upgrade my stuff otherwise I would feel like there was something empty inside however after doing these used builds I have been feeding an addiction that has been so satisfying that I don't think it's the upgrade is it I just think it's doing something different inch and you know especially since I have been doing things like downgrading technically right I went from x99 to AC 602 for my main rig and I've been loving that so much more than x99 it's been so much more fun to work with just something different right the server motherboard with all those different settings on there so that's another video I'll be getting done as well how to tune your C 602 chipset so stay tuned for that the 851 cosplay the last thing I want to talk about in the car was the direction of the channel and where we've been going lately Amanda views and subs have been really aggressive lately it's been explode and thank you guys a lot and you know with that I'm sort of going to keep that keeping a real attitude where I just test things and I really don't care what the internet says like for instance like spreading pace with my finger I know some people are against it and I know there's all these reasons but I've tested that and it's like the most consistent method of spreading pace not only does it save a lot of time but my temperatures just always seem to be the most consistent when of course I clean my finger before I spread it but it's just things like that you know then there's other rumors on threads you can't overclock ECC memory I'm having some of the best results with ECC memory I'm talking like mediocre over clocks on the memory but when I'm doing that I'm getting some really good results like for instance on the server motherboard we had memory from 2012 I think it was ddr3 memory now this stuff is getting up to 866 mega Hertz at 1.4 friggin volts now that is incredible I've never really heard about that especially for memory made back in 2012 I was just blown away anyway so that goes to show that you know some of these things guys some of these threads that are on the internet are just full of like complete so anyway that's sort of the things I'm just going to keep testing and seeing of course you can't overclock ECC memory that much right there's going to be a level where it just starts to get too bit reading right errors and then just a whole system or crap so you've got to be wary of that when you overclock is easy memory but when it comes to like you know Lydell meteor overgrowth clocks you can definitely get a lot out of it also another thing about ECC memory is you know it comes in two forms registered and unregistered and I found the registered portion does not make a difference and in some motherboards you can actually turn the ECC portion of the memory off and that's exactly what I did on the server memory so I turned it off and that allowed me to get up to eighteen hundred and sixty six megahertz so that being said ddr3l is actually really good bin memory that's all it is so don't worry about it being one point three five fold it's really good stuff so here is a place called coins home I actually go here a little bit when I need some little like hardware things kind of like fittings or whatever I actually got some of the parts especially a brake cleaner actually got some of the parts for the 650d case that I did on the dual CPU build from here some little hard things that allow me to lock the case down on the right side or the motherboard to the case however this time around I'm just gonna get some alcohol wipes because I've ran out so let's go in and I mean what good would a vlog be without a cabinet I mean come on so here he is here have you ever met like those people that like put on different voices when they see animals kind of like this yeah yeah that's my sister guys she does that so here it is this is the 851 and it's called an Orem pro yeah that's what it's called so it has 70 amps on the 12 volt rail which is pretty damn good so let's see if this thing works all right so we're just about to get this thing powered up and apparently we need a proprietary power cable for this power supply like what the actual is going on here so we won't be able to test this thing out today so it's kind of in but in the middle between junk and funk it's not a dunk and being like more like a bug and here's the final stop of the behind-the-scenes look here so I've got here my x79 overclocked gigabyte motherboard now this thing is insane is a great motherboard you can see there it's actually got two CPU eight pins there so I'm gonna have a lot of fun with this thing once I get a cooler slapped on it and I bought a 16 gigabytes of ddr3 memory for around about 70 bucks so I'm gonna see how that performs in dual-channel when I test it against the skylight 6600 K in dual channel because I want to test that with mid-range cards and just see how far we've come and compares something sort of a similar price something of similar price actually this is a little bit cheaper cuz I got the CPU for like 170 dollars and also the motherboard 470 as opposed to the CPU which cost like 280 alone so anyway we'll be testing that I can't wait to give you guys that this is the zelmans e9 case that I picked up for this is why I got this for 20 bucks I've already cleaned it up as you can see it's looking beautiful and we are going to put all the parts in that and get that crack-a-lackin' so here's the actual old set that I used to record on for you guys you probably remember it's a blue backdrop I actually still use it it's just that it's been really cold in winter so I kind of just wanted to stay downstairs because I got the gas heater down there and electrical power is just so expensive in winter so yeah but as there's a set there I'm actually thinking depending on how this performs in the sky like benchmarks I'm actually thinking of selling it if this thing comes close especially with the mid-range graphics cards I'm probably gonna sell that building so yeah it's the downgrade as each baby and then lastly here I've just got a review sample of the creative over I've been meaning to do this for a while I was pretty much just going to get onto it and then I broke my toes so that's gonna be out in the next few days actually the review of this so expect that really soon so anyway that's about it for me today guys if you liked this videos and be sure to hit that like button and also let me know what you guys think about this vlog style it's sort of like a great way for me to test things and sort of relay things that are on my mind that I couldn't otherwise do in a dedicated video because it just look really weird and it sort of digress from the topic way too much so look forward to your comments in the comment section below and I'm also filming off this camera that I actually picked up down the junk store for like sixty percent of the original price this is the WX 970m from Panasonic so it's got image stabilization it's 4k and I'm actually using the onboard microphones to record audio so I kind of wanted something where I could get quick and easy shots that wouldn't sort of stop my workflow too much so let me know what you think about the video quality as well so I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye yeah guys this is a new thing on the internet called I roll so in tacky-ass city fashion we are not going to let the power supply win we're going to change over this proprietary crap with a standard Jack and then we're going to see if this power supply works ok so I've just sold it on a different actual power connector on the rear here so we're gonna test if this power supply actually works now alright so here we go we're gonna turn this on now and you know see if it works Oh that's a good sign so far I'm just going to get my pair of scissors and try and start this computer up now all right let's hope this thing starts up so this is the last part in our quest for glory okay cool the fan is spinning the fan is spinning on this too and the thermal insulated glove is on now can we get a signal $50.00 power supply is complete funk so he's gonna wake us again that's so the board the weight is just gruesome it's a painful almost it says ah it works ladies and gentlemen the power supply is working so we are good to go our $50 850 watt gold power supply the FSP Orem pro is now perfect it's working job done jobs done
