so what happens when you mix in all your files into one build you get the Rotten Tomatoes welcome back to tech yes City this is brian coming to you guys today with a video on a project that sort of has one fail in one area and then another fail in another area and then another failing of the area and we mix it in for one gaming pc which is by far some of the worst value-for-money that i've done today however it can still play games and it still does show decent performance so with that being said let's get on with the prices of these parts then we'll get on with the cleanse the building then the benchmarks you so there it is for you guys the benchmarks speak a thousand words and then some and we had here just one build that was completely fail especially when I compared it to some of the other builds that I've done in the past notably the $200 Dark Souls 3 PC which would have slaughtered this thing in every single benchmark notably GTA 5 as well now one thing about this benchmark and one thing about this rig is that I couldn't overclock it as much as I'd like to because when I started overclocking it I started getting into problems and I spent hours and hours going what could it be is it the motherboard is it the CPU and I realized that it was actually the memory I had been sold 800 megahertz memory that was actually 667 megahertz memory and now on this platform it is crucial that you get some good memory especially if you want to overclock this platform and what that a meant was that I could only overclock this thing around 10% now which meant that the overclocks was severely limited on this platform though the problems didn't stop there the motherboard itself had severely limited options when it came to overclocking especially on that FSB termination voltage and also on the Northbridge voltage I was surprised the way what happened here but also not only that the first dim slot wouldn't recognize more than one gigabyte of memory so I kind of had this problem where we only had seven gigabytes of usable memory yes I did try very cleaning that dim slot try putting in different memory tried switching over memory even stuff that wasn't the eBay stuff and it just wouldn't recognize over 1 gigabyte which is kind of unfortunate and then we had the water loop which was mediocre at best I mean a good air cooler on the CPU would give you exactly the same result and if I was buying a used air cooler like I have done with a lot of my builds I would have got much better price performance the GPU however did sport some decent temperatures there with this water cooling loop and I'm kind of glad that that was the area where it kind of gave a big advantage even though I was limited by the 6970 and that it wouldn't go past 900 50 megahertz without crashing however in hindsight I'm actually really glad I did this build because I got to throw in all the fail together to make something that actually still works and then even though it doesn't play the latest titles at the best frame rates it still plays some of those really popular titles to date at decent framerate so I'm happy with that though I would have loved to have overclocked this thing especially to higher levels to see how would perform in those latest titles and I am confident that it could play GTA 5 better with lower settings and higher overclocks though we'll save that to another day when I get a LGA 771 again and a better motherboard and definitely some better memory in though ultimately in the future when you're telling your kids those epic tales of how you built those gaming pcs that were just awesome value for money this is that PC that just gets locked in the shed and you never tell anyone about it it's the one that got away so you guys if you enjoyed the $220 rotten tomato then you know what to do drop a comma in the comment section below and I'll get back to you soon as I can and if you liked this video be sure to hit that like button and I'll catch you in the next tag video very soon peace out for now bye well well I guess the Microsoft economic keyboard is in drum proof Oh Oh Braco this bit bed
