Can You Spray Paint PC Parts? The Story of the 1GB DDR3 Memory Stick (VLOG)

2015-05-21
when I recently did a vlog about the ex 5650 I was surprised there was met with a lot of positive feedback in the comments and people said I want to see more vlogs like this so today I'm gonna be testing some our RAM with seven different kinds of spray paint sprayed on it to see if spray paint effects circuitry and does it short-circuit your computer components that's one thing you're going to be testing and if that does indeed succeed then I'm gonna be spraying some oil based lubricant on the actual PC and seeing if that short circuits as well is something I want to know these two things anyway let's get on with the blog so this is one of the rigs that I recently built in my 500 old workstation build guy this is the cheaper of the two this was the hundred dollar rig and unfortunately it doesn't function properly in that four of the RAM slots are actually faulty and that they don't register the RAM in Windows though the first two slots do register the RAM and so I can put like four gigabytes of memory in there though even at those speeds that kind of the performance really sucks so I figured with this PC I should just I'm going to do some testing that you know if it doesn't work then I've got nothing to lose kind of thing so I wanted one thing I wanted to notice spray paint or kind of short-circuit your circuitry and so what I've done with this memory of us sprayed on seven different kinds of spray paint so on the right we got like white gold silver pink black and white no I've just sprayed it all on made sure I've got it on the circuits there and so I'm just gonna put this memory and save the computer boots up so let's let's have a look we've got the memory installed there the spray paint memory is here in the first channel and the we just got another memory slot in there just to give it to you about some memory so it doesn't take two years to boot but anyway let's uh let's fire that up and see if the spray paint memory works with a nice rainbow blend of spray paint on there let's have a look okay do we have a signal okay we don't have a signal there's no signal so I mean nothing's like nothing's frying at the moment like nothing's frying so there's no sparks or anything like that but we're not getting a signal at all so let's just switch or just take the spray paint memory out and see if it boots and we get a signal taking out the rainbow so here's the rainbow here we've taken that out and we're just gonna try and boot up the PC this time and let's see if we get a signal this time oh well okay some kind of a different noise cracking this top we we we have a signal okay this Rainbow Warrior does not work that's confirmed so I guess that answers that question that's the first question I wanted to notice spray painted circuits can you spray paint circuitry and the answer's no I mean mind you I did use seven different kinds of spray paints so I mean one of these might work but I'm not gonna risk or try my luck but the good thing was it didn't like it didn't fry anything like it didn't short-circuit anything so we're just gonna try and spray some CRC now on this rig like let's just do this while let's just do this while we have a signal here so let's just then we got the signal so we're just gonna grab some of this this is the CRC 556 so let's just spray a bit on here okay so there's a CRC 556 lubricant that has been applied nothing's frying we'll just try and reboot the computer to see if it's all functioning normally got it like yeah it's dry it's dripping like it's dripping off the heatsink whoo let's just go let's just reset it okay okay do we are we getting a signal so we've pretty much caked the oil-based lubricant on and it's booting fine it's it's fine so yeah I mean I thought the oil-based lubricant wouldn't do you know it's not conductive anyway so that's not a problem I just needed to know that because when I clean on my computer I like to clean it up with this stuff and so yeah it's good to know that I don't have any anything to worry about there I mean we're just try and just quickly spray it in the RAM slots there yeah okay nothing's happening so that's pretty cool so I answered two questions that I really wanted to know so we'll just go to a quick conclusion okay so in conclusion sorry I had to put on a mask because it stinks in this room so in conclusion I don't spray paint spray paint on your circuitry as we saw there the RAM stick is now pretty much bricked though one good thing was that it didn't like short like fry anything so I guess spray paint has a capacitive effect rather than a conductive effect on your hardware if I believe that should be the case but this stuff here like you can spray CRC 556 on your hardware to clean it up and that won't have any effect at all I mean I caked it on as you guys saw and it didn't do anything like the computer was still running perfectly fine so let's conduct some more experiments on a $100 cheapy so anyway guys if you like this video please give it a thumbs up if you have any questions about anything we did in this vlog today the please drop a comment the comment section below and I'll catch you in another tech video bye this is the part that really shocked me because the most expensive pair of glasses did not perform that well and this is coming from a company that's called gins in Japan they're very reputable company and these were pretty much like these are almost $50 so expensive but they were inferior to the
