is finally time to take things up to $200 for a used PC and hopefully this thing will be able to destroy this ps4 that I have here like not literally destroy it like just faded into benchmarks first things first let's detail what parts we have here today and how much each component costs and then I'm going to do a little bit of cleaning and bring all these parts up to Brandon you starting from left to right on the parts we have the CPU RAM and motherboard which came in a set for 82 dollars shipped roughly and it features 8 gigabytes of ddr3 memory and i-5 754 core and also in a Zeus p7p 55 de motherboard to the right of that we have an r7 270 from XFX which I managed to pick up for $97 and then just below that we have a 500 gigabyte Western Digital black enterprise storage hard drive which I got also for $11 shipped to the right of that we have a Sith core there which I managed to pick up a while ago for about $10 and then above that we have an antic 650 watt power supply which I picked up for $14 shipped off the internet and then just behind that I have the final component which is the case where I picked that up for two dollars down the junk store so that leaves the total price of all these parts to around two hundred and fifteen dollars also keep in mind I do not know yet if all the parts are fully functional so let's give this a good cleansing and then we're going to test the parts and see if they all work I sit on to the moment of truth just to see if the parts are working and everything's okay so we're just going to fire it up turn the power supply on and something interesting about this power supply is it does not have any molex or Saito connectors on it so I'm kind of like really surprised about what's going on here so um you know hopefully we get a signal and that's all we're really looking for here is because I know the graphics card works as well I already tested that and made a tweet about it trying another power supply now and I know it's not the power supply now so I know it's not the graphics card either because I've tested that so we're going to do is we're going to use our $100 PC that we built before and since it's the same platform I can switch the CPU and the motherboard and also the RAM so we're going to get to the bottom of this actually pretty quickly now first order of business is just to test out the memory in there and as you can see here it's working eh okay it's actually working really well so let's try and test out some other parts so we started the CPU up and I don't know if you guys can hear the fans just going at full speed so I think we have another day five like wow what is it to i5s now that are bricked like what what's the what is it with Japan and selling dotted I fiefs I don't get it okay so we've got the motherboard now working with the i3 so this is really good news at least we didn't get completely hosed in this deal however as we saw before we've got another brick died five so I really don't know what's going on there but we can enter setup here and we can see that the hard drive is also being detected as well so really good news on that front at least we've got something that's working now so I'm going to have to yeah pretty much order another CPU N and we're going to move on to conclusion for this first part okay so i've just sanded back the pins on the bottom or the pads on the bottom here a little bit so i'm gonna see if that helps I mean I will give it one more try because you know that can sometimes be a problem so we're going to try and put this back in and see if it fires up again and so we're going to give it one more try and if not this CPU is definitely buggered so I mean I've cleaned the contact pads it's the only thing I can really do with this bad boy so we are going to give it one more try and hopefully we can get something out of it this time I'm just going to check the yeah like I mean this time around like there's some CPU LED light coming on on the motherboard so you know the CPU is just it's bricked so we can't really do much about that so I'm gonna have to order in another CPU you so to conclude what happened to we have another brick cpu so now I've got two i5 750 s around here that don't work I even tried repairing the first one that I had with a circuit tracer and unfortunately I mean at least I learned that that doesn't replace an SMD resistor at least in the cpu that I was trying to fix today and I mean that was five of them that was missing on that CPU so I'm not surprised that that didn't work however the biggest problem I have with today's build is that the guy in the auction that I bought it off pacifically said that he had pulled this motherboard CPU Ram off a working build and I seriously do not know how a CPU gets damaged before a motherboard in shipping or whatnot so it sounds like a load of crap to me I'm pretty frustrated about that it's mainly the time thing and all the messing around to diagnose this sees that the CPU doesn't work that's the biggest thing you know it's not like okay I lost $20 it's not the end of the world for me but you know I will try contacting him and seeing what he says and I will get back to you guys on Twitter or whatnot and let you guys know what happened there however this is the pre log I'm going to make this instead of a two part series I'm going to make this a pre log to the console killer because at least all the other parts are confirmed working which is great news and all they need to do is now is getting a working CPU which will add cost to the build so I'm expecting this to be around a $250 console killer now instead of a $200 but that's what happens when you go use you do run those risks even though it's in this case it's kind of like I got shafted or hosed a little bit so but I am glad that the motherboard and the RAM work at least that's two good things that came out of that seller if the motherboard was bricked you would have heard me you know cursing from here to your house and I'm all the way in Japan so anyway guys that's about it for today if you like this video please give it a thumbs up if you have any questions or comments about the console killer in the making then drop a comment in common and below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can and I will catch you guys in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
