- [Narrator] What is crack-a-lacking? This right here is a $150 trade in that we got and that's aussie dollars so promises to have an i7 inside, it's got a Z 77 motherboard, 16 GB of RAM and the graphics card I don't even know what that is yet but first things first, this case needs to be scrapped. I don't have any use for something this dirty, this messy, I mean look at the back here, we've even got rust like really bad rust here and that's just gonna be a nightmare to clean up considering this case is pretty much something that, I mean no one would really want this I could keep it around but I mean considering the amount of dust just everywhere inside this thing it is just not worth the hassle cause it just doesn't look good at all and there's no clear side panel. We can't even see LED's coming through but the goodies don't stop there. This includes a 520 watt power supply with 40 amps on the 12 vault line so that's pretty good if it does work. I mean I don't know what doesn't work and what does work in this rig but I figured if I pull it all apart then we can find out easily what the problem is here since the person who traded it in said they don't know exactly what happens but it just doesn't boot. (upbeat music) So we've pulled all these components down individually now and I was actually surprised it came with a one terabyte hard drive and also a GTX 70 Ti so there are two really good components I hope they both work. Though we can see with this case and this is a big problem here is that it's got corrosion all on the back. The screws even show signs of corrosion on them so this person I'm guessing lived near the beach so if the salt water you know vaporizes then flows into your home, gets inside of your PC, over time it can cause damage to your components and now people laugh at me for WD-40 like "ha, WD-40 it's a big joke" but I guarantee you if this person sprays a whole layer of WD-40 on these components then if that's the cause I don't know what's the faulty part yet but if that was the cause it may have not been faulty if the person had used WD-40 if that makes any sense so you know it does have it's uses but let's get on with the cleaning and then we shall diagnose the problem (upbeat bouncing music) So now all the Tech YES loving is finished all these parts are looking amazing and we've left the heat sink off the motherboard up on the north here because I've actually had an incident in the past where the heat sink fans have been so dirty up here that it's caused the motherboard not to boot properly so we're just going to leave that off and of course if the motherboard is faulty then it just saves us putting it on and off again so with all that said let's see what was the issue here with this $150 PC. (upbeat music) So we've pretty much nailed this down to the motherboard itself so what I'm gonna do is try a different motherboard now cause I've already tried a different CPU, different GPU, different power supply and it still won't boot and I did say in the previous video where I got this deal. I thought it was the motherboard if you haven't seen that I'll put it up here it's a part time where I picked this deal up. And the thing is with this particular model, I've already had one of these exact boards come through here with the exact same problem so there must be some sort of thing with the longevity of these motherboards where they just fail after a certain time maybe the traces or the way it was put together it was just weak and so something's giving out on this board over time and so this is the second one I've had here with the exact same problem. This board is pretty much gonskies but at the same time I'm hoping everything else in this build works because if it does then we've got 16 GB of RAM and i73770 a cooler hard drive, power supply and of course it's really worth it at that price (upbeat electric music) This is so weird at first I thought the memory one of the sticks could have been faulty and I tried a different vengeance stick but then I realized no it was just the motherboard it doesn't support corsair vengeance memory in dual channel so we had a two single channels on the left-hand side work absolutely fine but here's the weird thing these Ripjaws they work fine in dual channel on this board so just another case of gigabyte lovely bias and I mean this is a high end board it shouldn't have this problem to begin with Regardless everything but the motherboard, the original motherboard that we had and we pulled out, is working absolutely fine so we're gonna see what magic we can do now with the parts that we have. So from that PC we had at the start we've now got all the components here on the desk that I'm keeping, the power supply, the 750Ti, the one terabyte hard drive, the 16GB of Ram and also the 3770. So it's actually a great deal for this whole combo here but what we're gonna do now for this build is we're going to exclude this 750Ti it's gonna go over there for a later day. For a micro hustle like you guys never know when someone comes here like, "Look Brian, my son needs a PC for like real cheap," and you're like yeah man I can accommodate this with a little hustle I got a 750Ti so save that for a later day and we're going to introduce a 120 GB SSD so these are dirt cheap at the moment I think I got this for around 30 aussie dollars. So I'll put all the prices in USD as well as we go along with this. We got a GTX 1060 6GB. We got that for $180 Aussie. We got an LED strip here, super important, one dollar and it's a white strip and this is gonna segway into this cooler right here which is a Hyper 411R now I can't really find these for sale in America but in Australia they're $29 Aussie dollars so that'll be like 20 USD so for the bling and sorta like what it adds to the build it's actually not bad and this cooler here we can sorta go away with this and we're gonna pro radar in a Lenogo motherboard here and we're gonna take out the i5 and we're gonna put the i7 right in. So if I had to guestimate the cost of like prorawing this board taking out the i5 and the other goodies they've got in that PC I'd say we're looking at about $50 Aussie dollars for this motherboard and then at the back with the final component here that is the MX330 but this is weird because this came with a power supply so we don't have to use that power supply. We can actually we might as well just use that power supply and take this one out and save it for a later date as well because there's not point of me just removing a power supply and putting another one in. It's kind of the same caliber. With that aside I'll put the total price of this build now and what spare parts we're getting out of it and let's start putting this thing together and see what we can come up with. (inspirational upbeat music) But I'm gonna go put myself to sleep now by doing this and I'll catch you guys soon. (upbeat electric music) So there's all the benchmarks done the overclocking finished and this PC honestly impressed me a lot and comparing it to the previous build I did where we did a $500 build with an i74770k and a GTX980 if you haven't seen that already I'll put the link up here. This one honestly came out where I didn't expect this good of a PC for the money where we only paid $367 USD and it's a quiet PC. It performs really well in games. We saw it with Apex Legends we were getting over 80FPS 1080P high settings. Anthem, probably want to drop that down to medium as the high settings was getting around 50 but the one percent and point one percent loads were also very smooth. A CS:GO was getting over 200 FPS. The .1% loads went down to like 45 but that's still great. It's still gonna give you a smooth experience but when we compare this build to the previous build I did, this one is just honestly more desirable in that it is quiet the temperatures are very well controlled. When we had the side panel on versus off, we had 65 degrees with the side panel off versus 68 degrees with the side panel on. This is in a 27 degree ambient environment and that's when the GP is overclocked. So we can see here that even overclocked the GP is having no problems even with just a single exhaust fan on this build and this MX330 case. Now another thing about this case is even though it's got no front fans at the front, the rear exhaust fan is actually pushing out a lot of air. So what I've realized out of this build versus the previous build is that you can have all these fancy RGB fans at the front but if they're not pushing air properly then they are basically useless. I like how in this case, all pun intended, the exhaust fan is pushing air properly and so not having front fans installed doesn't make a huge difference especially when this build only uses up 240 Watts. That's the most I saw on the power meter when we were testing this thing in games. So in a nutshell with this build the power consumption's low the performance is really good. You got an i7 in there, you got a GTX1060 6GB, resale value's gonna be good since we've also got 16 Gigabytes of RAM and SSD and a one terabyte hard drive and the best thing is it looks decent as well. It's not the best looking build but it does look very clean and we've got that wide LED strip which honestly doesn't look tacky coupled with that white fan on the cooler master H411R and speaking of that cooler, did an absolutely fine job of keeping the CPU under control. Anyway guys hope you enjoyed this video today. I really didn't know that this was going to come out of the video when I started it. I thought I was just going to diagnose problems and hopefully find what was wrong and then just redo the system up for as cheap as possible but when the motherboard was damaged I thought well we've taken all the equipment out and then we've got to change the motherboard anyway we might as well just turn it into a full fledge build and that's exactly what happened here and uh, definitely gonna be one that's a good for a flip and if you guys enjoy these videos then you know what to do hit that like button. Also, let us know in the comment section below what do you think of today's build. And also on that note with the GTX1060 and some other mid range cards like these perhaps I can test them on the 3770 while I've got it here and then compare it against the 9900k to find out on the mid range how much performance you're losing out on. Maybe that's a video you guys will want to see. I don't know. Let us know on the comments but with that aside, hope you enjoyed this one.
