so in the month of July there has just been so many new products being released and of course with that a lot of these places are like tech yes can you check out our product but on that case it does frustrate me this month a little bit because there's just so many products coming out to the point where I just need to go out and have a bit of tech yes therapy and that's a bit of hustling on the road so while I'm in the car I'm gonna be searching for some deals because I got to go up to Brisbane to do something and also on that note I'll be seeing Liz who is also up in Brisbane he usually does me regular deals here from month to month especially if you guys saw the last parts hunt we visited les picked up a few goods and he always hooks up for a pretty good price but there's also one more thing I'm going to be doing and that is going to a retailer and taking back some faulty products and seeing if they can change them over because I've got to faulty hard drives and a faulty power supply too and of course if they're still under warranty then I want to get the brand new pot so I'm gonna see how all that goes down but with that aside let's get the wheels turning and the hustling started if you're in the market for a ninth gen Intel CPU Nvidia sponsor Ezra has you covered with the extreme 4 you've got a 12 phase BRM for the CPU power delivery purity sound 4 and polychrome RGB software control from the BIOS to ensure that you get the smoothest FPS possible whilst you're gaming links in description below for more information so on the way up to Brisbane we found a deal here for GT X 1080 they wanted 450 ozzie dollars I put in an offer for hundred and they said yes so that's about two hundred and eighty US dollars and for a GTX 1080 that's a pretty good price I'm actually very happy with that because you can put this in a sort of a higher-end build now and then I get some good money for that so depends on what you couple it with I'm thinking since I did get that zeal on the 1270 v2 in last month's part hunt that would make a perfect combination with this GPU for some 1440p gaming so with that aside let's go now to the next place that's lasers and pickups or see what he's got see if he's got some deals for us so we just finished up at lenses place and the boot has three monitors well actually four monitors because I had to take a faulty motherboard back to him and then replace that for a monitor so that was like the trade I did and we also had a HP system there and I haven't tried a HP system in a while and I know the second and third gens are kind of shaky but this one's got a half decent power supply included with it so my thinking there is if I can extract the power supply motherboard CPU RAM and all that goodness then I can actually try to get it working with a lower powered graphics card and then I'd have a whole system done for really cheap so that's looking like it'll be good if I can get it home and get it all working so we'll do that later in the video but from here on in we're going to go to a place called computer Alliance where I've bought some PC parts from some of those are faulty and we're gonna see if I can get those changed over for some brand new parts so just got finished up here in computer Alliance and the service was actually really good so I took the two hard drives in and the power supply and I didn't even need a receipt they scanned everything in because they've all got their barcodes now and that automatically registers in their machine it tells you what order that was attached to and so they changed everything over on the spot so now I've got two new hard drives and a new power supply too and with that aside it's time to get back to the tech er studio and check out this HP see if we can get that working so now we're back at the studio and here is the quick one-day mini hustle of course they don't count they're the warranty replacements but three monitors and also GT X 1080 and a HP now our less did Chuck in a 19 inch monitor for free but he said it might be faulty and I can check it out but I just I put it up in the garage because Hunt don't have time at the moment to check out a faulty monitor but this is the challenge right here and I think it could go well basically there's two problems I'm seeing so far looking at this that is the front panel power switch and also this cooler here if it's actually mounted through the holes to the case so we'd have to use a different cooler but if we can get this to boot up off a say for instance my little golden tool that I use by shorting out the two pins and we can put a graphics card in here then it would be okay for a transplant I believe so we're gonna try that first let's see if we've got a signal so we've now managed to boot this PC up off a single short so that's a good thing and that we can use a power switch off a normal case for this build but I'm trying to get into the BIOS to see if I can get some of those options out extract some of those options like secure boot and UEFI PCIe boot and the thing is I can't even get in it like says escape for startup menu and I'm like I'm hitting escape of try to heat the different keyboards here I just can't get in so I'm guessing it might need a piss to Keeble but this is the weirdest thing you press f1 and it'll it'll work so I mean it's just classical HP crap but without a side I mean we're just gonna chuck it in a case and hope and pray that it does work and I got a feeling it does so it is 4th gen so and what I'm doing with it is I'm taking all the proprietary out and we're gonna use all that proprietary so we're coming into a little bit of problem this was indeed screwed down to the case and taking it out didn't really yield us any good results and I tried doing some kind of ghetto rigging there and it didn't work but you can see here that the mounting system is proprietary it's not gonna fit anything conventional so what I need to do is I need to get some nuts for the bottom of this and try and secure this cooler onto the CPU so I gotta see what I've got around the studio might even have it if I don't have it then I'm gonna wait till the hardware store if it's tomorrow in order to finish this so now got this concept and it is booting which is incredible so this is really good news at least for me cos we've got an 80 plus gold rated power supply down there it supports 240 watts max and so we're gonna be stress testing this after we install Windows and if this does pass the stress tests then I'm gonna show you guys all the little janky things that I did here to get this to work because we're using a fan splitter up the top there then we cut out a piece right there for the CPU fan because it had a weird proprietary connector and of course we're using a solder connector for the RX 470 soldered to PCIe 6 pin so this is like crazy because the amount of money we paid of course is very little compared to what you'd pay for I guess oh Am's like vos churros and stuff that are ready to work so hopefully this all installs and then we'll come back and we'll run the benchmark for a good while and see the results so we've now been running this for a few different benchmarks here on heaven it's passing absolutely fine and now the funny thing is I did a video recently comparing the 470 versus the 570 on the rx series and with the 9900 K these scores are pretty much exactly the same so in other words this 46 70s CPU couple with this rx 470 is not presenting any bottlenecks whatsoever so that's a really good sign of course we've got the 240 white-gold rated power supply and we've got all this proprietary stuff but let's move over now to the desk where I'm gonna talk a lot more about that because there is some drawbacks to it and I mean you do have to have a bit of patience to get this to work but regardless it is working breathe it in fellow tech yes citizens breathe it in that right there is the smell of victory and what we had with this HP OEM fitted into this case was something that honestly with an SSD a gig of ram fiber to you bike backup hard drive 46 70s and if RX 470 we've put this together for 270 Aussie dollars in total so that would be about 190 USD and we've got bling to go with it now some scary things with this and some things to be careful of I couldn't actually get out a power rating with this power supply so this is that proprietary that the power Mayda that I had here red a constant 7.3 Watts so I'm guessing there's something blocking it out on the input end which is scary because I've never seen that before and that's able to not give us a reading at all if I had to guesstimate the power consumption of this build I'd put it around maybe 180 watts with the RX 470 so everything is going to be completely under control we're still coming under that 240 watt limit with some room to breathe and the good thing about this board is it's got a lot of USB ports at the back everything just works really smoothly though we do have a USB 3 connection on it that we can't get access to because the RX 470 is covering that slot so if you do want to put in smaller graphics card say for instance gtx 1650 then that would work and you'd be able to get your USB street-front out and so the funny thing is about this build is that they've used proprietary connections on the power supply where you do need that power supply because it's got those different connectors that run off the motherboard but they've also got this little white pin connector on the side that runs from the power supply I'm guessing that's the initiation and so what HP decided to do was do all that proprietary stuff there but then leave things like the onboard audio connectors the USB ports and even the power supply connector not proprietary and so in the case of dell i've tried some stuff with those Dells in the past and they've got like a power switch that has three pins and it's very hard to get around that in order to boot those Dell motherboards probably this however doesn't have proprietary after the PAL spline motherboard so it is possible and you can do it with ease and now the good thing about this fourth gen build here is that it does have those options to disable secure boot enable PCIe boot from UEFI on the fourth gen I know in previous generations especially second and third gen can have a lot of headaches trying to get a something like an rx 470 for example to boot off that motherboard and in this case it doesn't have those options because it was fourth gen it was newer they probably said okay let's enable these motherboards to boot with modern graphics cards and I guess they just didn't suspect that six years down the track or whatever they'd be this Boggan from Australia who'd be piecing together these pcs with modern-day graphics cards and then putting together gaming pcs and that's the funny thing I guess none of these guys back in those days intended for CPUs to sort of stagnate as much as they have but GPUs to keep going and so this Hardware here now is still gold in 2019 especially at the prices you can get the whole kit for and included with the power supply I mean that's just fantastic value for money and you've even got a Windows 10 Pro license activated on these boards so the value for money is just screaming out to me at this bill right now and I'm just so happy with it though again the drawbacks we've got a limited amount of connections from this past play I've used the two-sided connections for the hard drive in the SSD then I've used a sada two PCIe six pin for the RX 470 and I've also used a fan extension 2 for fan pin headers to power all the fans in this case and surprisingly that works absolutely fine and that's running yeah again for fans off of one header which I've done in the past on different motherboards and you know it doesn't work when the LEDs are starting to cut out and stuff like that these fans are running absolutely fine so whatever components they're put in the power supply in the motherboard they've done it right they've actually built this motherboard and power supply up really strong and I guess that's for the business world of things but you can then use that for gaming PC's and it's going to be reliable but the other hurdle we also had was that CPU cooler it is proprietary - so you're going to have to use that cooler with the 46 70s so the way you get around that is even just getting some nuts and going nuts and screwin those things off in the case that we've got here and then the last thing was that CPU for pin fan connector where it did have a different bottom end so you just have to cut out that little bracket in the CPU fan and then plug it into the motherboard that way and it surprisingly works so they didn't change around the configuration of those pin layouts for that other fan connector on the board but the funny thing is when you do do this your CPU fan is now pushing air the other way but I don't imagine it'd be a problem since we are using an Rx 470 reference which does suck air in and then blows it out the back of the case so everything is looking amazing this is I guess a new meta for you guys if you want to put a gaming PC together for your friends family or whatever and you just want really good value for money in one of these pcs pops up for sale then it's worth a look I mean keep in mind you will need some extensions so I'll put some links in the description below you need a solder two PCIe converter if you want to use a graphics card that's low power don't go too crazy they don't go putting in rx 580 in this thing because I just don't think it'll work but an Rx 470 uses a lot less power I think it was about 89 90 watts from when I did my test and a pretty video if you haven't seen nobody I'll put the link up here but with all that out of the way this is a mid month hustle that just ended up being something completely different to what I intended it to be initially but that's this the way things go I really enjoy doing this kind of stuff I know some people are in the comments and this comes up all the time here on the channel they love the youth stuff they love the hustle and again that's not going anywhere I love doing this stuff for you guys I love sharing all the secrets I don't really care about oh you know you keep your magicians you keep his secrets and not show anyone but it doesn't matter because I'm here and I guess I just got into YouTube to sort of show these things to people and then in turn a lot of people behind the scenes have shown me things that I've then shared on the channel too so I learned new things from you guys and then I do things like this and help people out and show them new metas but there's also the new products as we said in the intro they come in full force this month and I do and I've said this in the past the reason I do the new parts is because it helps me to do the used parts obviously new parts is going to be a lot more money in terms of you do a review for something if it's a good product then you've got affiliate links and it's just more profitable than doing used parts but of course because my passion I love doing all the you stuff I then use the new stuff to fuel the use passion and so that's something I've always been transparent about here on the channel but also the biggest benefit of doing that is that I can then compare the new stuff versus the use stuff which I know a lot of you guys love because the views and the likes on those videos usually go out of control so stay tuned for that x58 comparison it's coming early next month anyway guys with that aside I hope you enjoyed today's video if you did then be sure to give us a big like and also let us know in the comment section below what you think about what we did here today with this HP machine and also what you think of that GT X 1080 deal we got I thought that was pretty good for 400 Ozzie dollars with 280 u.s. that's definitely going to go into like a higher end gaming PC and you can definitely make a bit of profit doing stuff like that and without a slide I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
