Glad it seems like you're gonna continue doing this series. I really enjoy it too. I also appreciate that not only are you helping people out, you're also giving them a little extra too. Great job man!
this is one of the coolest ideas you've had yet! I remember when you upgraded your buddy's system back when you started this channel and man you've come along way!
Its funny, seeing this series is giving me the urge to go around the house and thoroughly clean all the computers. Since at the moment, there really isn't anything better to do, may as well take the opportunity to do it. It's such a breath of fresh air to see something different, keep up the good work looking forward to the next upload.
These are very satisfying to watch :) I cleaned mine very thoroughly after you posted the first video a couple of days ago. Thank you and congratulations to the people that had their systems serviced.
You’re awesome Greg. That’s cool of you to help clean and even upgrade components for others. I will continue to keep supporting by watching and liking your videos. Keep this series going!
Love the fact you are bringing back life to older systems, and giving out upgrades like this surely brings out smiles on their faces. This is are acts of kindness that matter during these times.
One hint on doing this level of cleaning... When you remove the CPU to clean it, put it straight back in the board. Those pins being out on show when cleaning and dusting other areas risks either something landing on the pin grid array and bending them, or dust getting in there and preventing a contact point. Always keep your CPU in the board when cleaning (ideally clean the board with the CPU in first, then after cleaning the CPU put it straight back) or use the CPU block cover that comes with the Motherboard if you kept it. Otherwise an excellent video and superb cleaning job.... now I gotta start on mine... again....
If you want to give parts a deeper clean, I spray them down with CRC QD Electronic Cleaner. Gives them a good cleaning and dries quickly. Works really well on motherboards for all those nooks and crannies. Used this for the past couple of years to clean and flips systems.
Gotta say it, this is fresh air from all the content related to tech, plus is just relaxing to see the transformation those rigs go through. Have a nice one, Greg!
Greg you're honestly doing such amazing work. Thank you for helping others during a hard time and giving them upgrades. I hope good karma comes your way.
This video series is really therapeutic to watch! Great job on it so far! I could really use a new case for my Ryzen build, but it's not really in the budget right now. I'm looking forward to ep 3 and beyond!
@@techyescity Bryan dude but lets hear it from the Sensei please??? Would you leave the two cooler fans like that mismatched??? And wouldn't you AT VERY LEAST have a talk with the guy about his memory running in dual channel and could easily get some quad channel EEC registered DDR3 from AE on the cheap??
It doesn't look that dirty to me though atleast the cobwebs, because my PC which i clean every 4-6 months get more dirty than that (i only do dust cleaning and a bit of cleaning on the RAM surface and slots).
Something different instead of the normal pc building, i can say somewhat satisfying watching you cleaning the machines. Keep it up and #staysafe... 👍🏼✌🏼🇲🇾
It looks more fragile then it is. Only thing that can be a bit fragile is the cable for the fans but besides that you won’t easily break something if you don’t throw it around or something like that. Just follow a few disassembly guides for the exact model clean of the thermal paste/fans with ipa and blow out the heatsink with compressed air. After that screw it back together. For the 4 screw on the top of the gpu that are holding the heatsink stuck to the gpu die make sure you screw those in a cross pattern a few times until they are screwed down and not all at once so you get equal mounting pressure also don’t over tighten them. If it won’t screw further don’t force it.
Nice project. Not just cleaning but upgrading as well. Love the effort for that. Will be excited for more episodes. Wishing it could be overseas. More power Greg!
these two episodes are so therapeutic. Can't participate since I'm fortunate to have acquired almost all of the current generation parts and the system is relatively clean, but it's great seeing you clean other badly needed systems and give them new life. Those battle tested PCs deserve another chance to make people happy.
@@Duck_31 if i were him i would keep them, im sure he’ll get a system with even older hardware, so those people can go from something like a 760 to that 1060 he just upgraded.
This is a really good idea Greg i just wanna say, you're helping veiwers in many way, both cleaning their pc's and showing others good methods on how to do it on their own, not to mention you do quite the bang up job hope to see more, if only i was local I'd send ya mine just to see what you do better than me xD
This is a very cool thing you are doing Greg loving this series and picking up tips as I go. Actually had to dig into my system today for a new 2x8G kit of RAM thought I'd just pop them in and be done. Then realized my stock cooler was in the way. Tried to just pull the cooler off, rearrange it to allow for new RAM, and remount it without a fuss but ooooooh nooo. The back plate came loose and I forgot about needing that to secure the cooler. So at that point I had to dismantle most of the computer just to put in two sticks of RAM took me hours to remember all the cabling/headers etc. Definitely renewed appreciation for you tech youtubers who taught me how but boy was I rusty lol
I'm not gonna lie, i think the system looks great now, but i can't handle the mismatch fans on that cpu cooler! They are triggering my OCD hard! Why can't it be just 2 cute little black fans!
@Greg Salazar: "Mom I'll be right back! I gotta move to Florida for a week!" No but seriously Greg, you're a GOAT in the PC community. Never stop!! Thank you for your hard work, as always.
Love these kinds of videos! The only thing I would add to your cleaning regiment (idk if you do it or not and not show on camera) is to take the Data Vac to the PC right off the bat. Just blow out all the initial dust in the system and in the fans, just so you have to deal with less dust chunks falling on your floor to clean. And then proceed to dismantle the system
as a hardware enthusiast it feels realy pleasant when old hardware gets revived this way, i'm not the kind of guy to leave a like but you just did enough to own it.
These deep cleaning videos are so satisfying to watch. You have no idea. And what’s better is that we can also see the what the average person’s computer looks like. Kinda getting old with the beautiful super overpowered PC’s. Good job man!
Remember you can use a very soft brush for the dust make sure it all so very strong and easy to clean. I use it to remove the dust that is hard to reach or very sticky and vacume wont work or canned air.
There really is some next level satisfaction in making something old and dusty look like it's brand new again. Out of what you got, I'm only lacking the electric blower. xD
I always find myself coming back to this, I just feel so relaxed watching. I always leave my phone playing this when I go to sleep lol I don't know why but this is relaxing and more stress relieving than meditation or some shit 😄
I actually love these videos. Like you said in the 1st one, seeing reviewers re-hash the same old "Ultimate, Uber, Awesome PC build for 2021" using parts no one on the planet can buy because stock doesn't exist gets old quick.
I compare this to a similar series I used to love, Pimp my PC. This is more in line with what I envisioned. If you are going to do something, like replace part(s), keeping it on the smaller scale is awesome. Going way over the top is cool but I don't know how to explain it, this just feels better.
I just bought the electric air duster it looks bad ass!!! It is a bit expensive @$80 but there was a Lightening Deal with almost $30 off! I quit smoking a month ago and it does a number on electronics, Window blinds, and anything else it can stick to. Thanks I hope mine works as well as that one
I think this series is going to be good for you Greg! You might be able to get some companies to help you out in upgrades and replacements of parts. :)
I just got one of those electric air compressors. It's a wired one pumps out 500w, it could probably blow the entire PC over. Really impressive bit of kit.
Using a Horsehair Artists Brush to Remove thermal paste off the sides and around the CPU/GPU has changed my life lol, no more worrying about peeling a chip off by accident, and its lightning fast with light pressure.
Been following your channel for a while, but I'm picky on my subscriptions. I subbed after this series. I can see you genuinely care and are not all in it for just the money. You like helping people and you have good motivations. Happy to subscribe.
After watching a bunch of videos on the DataVac (some having glorious slow-motion as well) this is a great series to stumble across, I hope you stick with it Greg. Makes me want to pull apart my old Z97 Chipset out and give it a nice clean out.
When I take stuff apart and clean i try to improve them. Cleaned a 1060 I flipped and added thermal pads to the memory chips allowing them to touch heat sink. Added thermal pads to an rx 590 where the backplate was acting as a heatsink. Juat neat ideas to improve older designs. Anyways I like the series.
This is great help for people feeling they are already way behind because of the new hardware that came out(which you can't buy). It makes people realize that their hardware can still be used to have fun in games and not necessarily need the latest and greatest hardware. ^_^
