so in last month's use pc parts hunt of the month we picked up 12 pcs in total if you haven't seen already put the link up here and i've also damaged my finger while actually my thumb in the Alienware pc build where we were sort of cleaning that up and getting it ready but anyway here are the three pcs that were outstanding that les had at his house that i couldn't pick up because they couldn't fit in my cars we already picked up a heap of different pcs and what we're going to do now is essentially a tech yes hurricane so today i'm going to be like a one-armed - tech yes citizen and we're gonna be turning these into gaming pcs and see what value we can extract as well as taking a look at each pc case by case but first things first i think i'm going to clean up these om pcs we've got so many of them they're packed full of screws motherboards CPUs ram and even solder cables believe it or not so here's all the motherboards here now we've got them with the faceplates we've pulled them out and a lot of these don't even need any converters or anything they've just got 24 pins and they're gonna work really well with gaming PCs but we still have to piece out cases and power supplies for these particular builds and here is the current rubbish pile that we've got here so all those OEMs you generally I don't need the power supplies from them because they're usually only like 150 watts at best and even a 1050 would be pushing those things we've got some motherboards there from the previous parts hunts that kind of had those problems with the security messages and stuff so I'll probably just flip them individually to someone who has time and wants to tinker around with them and now over here we've got a heap of SATA cables it's always good to mass any screws or solder cables that you can find and we've also got the hard drives that we pulled out of there - 250 gigabytes one terabyte and also a 500 gigabyte hard drive and here we are now with the first of the builds completed but there is a little problem already and that is the secure boot function on the graphics card itself so we've got a 1060 in here and it just looks like it's not going anywhere I've left that for about five minutes now and yeah now it's just turned off but oddly enough this case isn't too bad it's 49 Aussie dollars comes with RGB fans at the front little RGB controller on the top and I've added in a blue fan here and also blue LED strips so giving it a little bit more bling than it otherwise would have but yeah you can just hear this thing just beeping constantly it's gonna be a case of me switching over the gravis card and then putting in an old-school graphics card just to get into the boss and see if I can change some settings around then try and put this graphics card back in but the problem is is that with one arm it's actually quite hard to do all this so doing these PC builds is taking me a long it's like literally taking me at least ten times longer to build a PC than otherwise would this is painful but it's got to get done actually right as I turned off the camera it started booting into Windows this is actually getting very interesting now so I'm gonna try and install Windows and then see what happens because this is quite the odd one we cannot and will not fail so here we go with the msi gtx 1066 gigabytes same things happening there's no I guess legacy support I think that's the one you need apparently some of the nvidia cards have it so I'm just sort of switching now between cards because the same problems happening where it's just not booting properly it will boot eventually the windows but it's stuck on a basic display driver so we're just gonna keep cycling through some GPUs until we get the one that hits the mark so we've got an R X 480 this time it's just absolutely no signal also we're gonna put this build aside for now and see what we can do so now we've got an ASA board in this build here that's doing the exact same thing and so you know is one thing to do my thumb but now it's another thing to just get problem after problem bit yeah that's life so now it's getting dark I had to change around this motherboard and with a disabled thumb it's kind of hard but we got there and this is now working so one of the four builds that were whippin up here is finally alive and geto am in those I mean LED fans look at them so damn good and then you've got the LED strip in there too and here we are with the next PC and of course this one just isn't even booting up properly at all like after about five seconds it just shuts off it doesn't give out a signal so I've tried unplugging everything tried plugging everything in again try changing Ram try changing power supply so yeah this stage I am starting to get a little bit frustrated well here we are we finally got a fix change the motherboard around it ended up being the 1050 Ti so the Timothy I we had is not giving out a signal so we got a 1060 in here instead and going to yeah get this on the road and here we are with the third build and I don't know if you guys can hear that but this fan is like just running at full speed so temperatures are absolutely fine on the CPU so weird three four three now this is the third PC and it has another problem solution is at hand though and a low-noise adapter fixed all our problems so here's the loss of the builds here and like okay I don't really know what is going on at this stage this is the fourth build and yeah we've fixed up the other three pcs they're all ready to go figured out all the problems but this one just magically wants to turn itself off so at this stage is pretty late at night we're gonna figure out what's going on this PC and then after that we'll have all the PCs lined up they're all good to go they're all ready to clear out the studio so I can start moving on to some juicy content like x58 and x79 stuff there it is that's the lost PC there looks like it died in the hurricane so we've now got that PC working it's in the morning and this is the Lenovo board here that we pulled out so it is not working properly so it's actually a dud but one of the most interesting things is I've had this power supply turned off now for about probably about 20 minutes and this fan just keeps spinning it's like I don't know it's one of those cool things I've never seen before and yes I've tried draining the power it just it's it's a nice wonder of the world so drain power keep spinning it just keep spinning told you every guys in conclusion sometimes things just don't go your way in this case every PC we built they lost four anyway they all have these little problems and it was really annoying but we'll figure this last one out it's probably the motherboard because we reuse that motherboard from the previous build with the 1050 Ti because I thought it was the temperature and that is like the timid Ti is a dud it doesn't work but I'm guessing the motherboard doesn't work as well so sometimes these problems they just happen and you just keep moving you just keep moving and I mean like couple that with my thumb which is like you know make sure you hit that like button as well because youtube doesn't have a stitched-up thumb button so besides that when it comes to building pcs these things happen I just I've learned to just go back let's quickly diagnose a change memory change vows bleh take everything off reset the sea miles do all that stuff quickly and go through it change the motions and then you quickly come up with what the problem is so in this case yeah we're gonna change this motherboard and it also sucks that those ISA motherboards they don't support the Nvidia graphics cards to boot from the get-go I didn't know that I thought the ace of motherboards were like the Holy Grail since they didn't need any proprietary connectors as well but that's the way it goes sometimes we've got three or four motherboards of my OEM boards that aren't working properly so that's a little bit annoying but regardless if you guys know decent graphics cards that work with the ace of boards let us know in the comment section below because I will keep them aside it's just you've got to pair them with those boards that work properly and and went into the BIOS there was no secure boot option as well so we're out of luck with that setting and besides that we now have whipped up a hurricane when we clear out the studio just as we said just before and then we're gonna be moving on to some juicy content cheap builds as well as really cool stuff different stuff and then getting back to sort of that x58 next 79 grind as well fine now what's up with that and I'll catch you guys in another tech yes video soon make sure you hit that like button as we said before and I'll catch in the next one peace out for now bye
