My dad found a pc thrown out with an i7 2600, asus board not sure which one, Gskill 2x4 8GB ram and a decent aftermarket cpu cooler and a be quiet 400W bronze PSU and it is fully functionall. All it needs is 2 more stix of ram to make it 16 and something like an rx570/580 and there's a beast 1080p gaming pc!
Never ignore a throw away gaming PC, I do wonder though what areas people are more likely to see this, as this PC was found in suburbia.
What is with ppl finding great deals
I cant even find a core 2 duo that isnt overpriced
@@techyescity Yeah it's weird people are throwing away these types things. This happened when i moved to Germany couple of months ago and it really hit me like damn, these germans have MONEY!
@@techyescity In the YTworld of highly annoying, cereal munching chick repellant dudes running tech channels, your channel is a pleasant change. Keep it up man.
@@techyescity AH YES we are back to the basics of the channel x58
When you see those 6 ram slots you know you're onto a winner.
First thing I think of when I see those ram slots is a X5650@4.6Ghz.
And those margin mounted many SATA slots.
Even nowadays most consumer motherboards to out at 4 ram slots!
Me with 2 slots😢😢😢
Reminds me of the "I found an injured animal on the road, can we save it?" videos
The Steve Irwin (RIP) of computer conservationists.
its kinda sad too that those animal videos were fake and basically animal abuse.
@@problemtf2532 Not all of them are.
@@siqu7071 but too many
I like how you encourage this eco-friendly attitude. Let's use our components until they fail.
Lol, tell Microsoft that. Lol
If you suggest to not make upgrade, not wise. My Athlon 2000+ XP and Radeon 9550 are still working in a Win 98 rig.
I got into tech from collecting thrown away old "not working" PCs when I was age 12-15, 90% of the parts still worked. I upgraded my first PC a Pentium 3 866Mhz to a Pentium 4 2.8Ghz for free, a bios setting was preventing the PC from booting, all I had to do was clean cmos button. LUL
What year was it when you first got into tech?
Bryan's intros are getting crazier by the day and it's great 😂 loving the content as always 👌🏻
Bryan, you need to strike a deal with an E-waste yard.... A 2 hour E-waste yard challenge!
Tried asking my local tip, but they were pretty strict, I will keep trying though, I love doing this stuff!
@@techyescityhow many dim slots does this have😂
Brian, the content is epic.
Your energy infectious and contagious in the best way!
With much gratitude in my heart
With a big smile on my face
Thank you 😊
Thank you, for staying strong and pushing through
Tech YESSSS!
I picture you as mr bean placing the old pc on the road and then pretending to be surprised you found it.
Congrats to 500k !!!
It is as they say - the best deals are found on the roadside.
Maybe depends😂
Honestly though how tf do you find a computer on the side of the road
@@owenward7355 It takes effort to search around and if you get lucky like bryan/tech yes city then you have yourself a pc picked up on the side of the road.
@@owenward7355 In certain parts of Australia and other places, every so often (it varies), the city runs a promotion where you leave junk outside and the city picks them. So there's another youtuber who goes around on that day to snap up computers and other recyclable stuff to melt down and sell as scrap.
@@owenward7355 Alternatively, some people advertise on local facebook or craiglist, they'll leave stuff outside and you can grab it free. I was super lucky and picked up an i5-3470, 6gb RAM, asus motherboard. Like tech city, my system was missing side door, no power supply and the cpu fan was busted. The person gave it away and had listed it as pickup beside garbag bin of apartment complex. Naturally, freebie deals get snapped up instantly so you have to be constantly checking facebook/craiglist.
Yeah, finally you´re off the compressed air cans and got a handheld aircompressor, thx for helping the enviornment man.
I freakin' LOVE this content! Thank you, and more of it please! :)
This channel is the most down to earth channel of all the tech RUclipsrs keep up the good work and stay humble
What kind of person throws away X58 LITERAL GOLD!?
The type of person who had 2-4gb of ram in it in 2021 haha
probably some clueless person who knows nothing about hardware and just thought the pc was old and slow... no surprise with 2 gb ram
A person who uses a 430w on an x58...
@@michaelxdrift Actually used a 400W power supply on an i7 920 and gtx 1060 combo, but it was a quality PSU, FSP is in the TOP 3 best manufacturers in my experience, with seasonic and superflower. Don't worry I now have a 650W, but the 400W did work, still don't recommend it tho.
As soon as I noticed the triple ram slots I was like "He's got an x58" then you said it was an x58 and it made my day! Haven't seen those triple ram slots in years!
Aw yeah, 6 slots and a nice blue board.
Tech YES BANGER; love it! THIS is what we want, not the new sponsored stuff we can never buy! More garbage to greatness, more former "e-waste" to EXTREME POWER! There's life still in the old parts yet!
I would've loved to see your immediate reaction when you saw the PC on the road. I just can imagine a car casually going by and then suddenly, 'hits brakes and puts it into reverse'.
The Ultra Durable promise seems to have come true.
I just found a dead PC with a ep45 ud3r that worked perfectly these ultra durables truly are
until their sata controllers fail. then they are not so durable
@@RealEpikCartfrenYT Havent happened to me yet, and I had 3 of them.
@@iliaslive7006 i have this gigabyte h55 motherboard in a computer, and it cannot recognize any SATA drives, no matter what I do. Only one SATA port kinda works.
@@RealEpikCartfrenYT a Samsung 950 pro nvme in a pcie slot if available will boot. I have 2. C and D drive in my X58 ststem.
That BluRay drive still has the plastic peel still on it lol
I bought one of those motherboards for 40aud as a “not working”... reset the bios and it booted first shot. It lives as my gtx960 turbo of 4gb sli 20gbram junker pc! The power supply and boot drive(120gb patriot inferno) were also on the side of the road.... the ssd had windows 7 that I upgraded to w10 free. Love the junker pc and the tower I put it in supports hot swapping . Great boards those udr3 x58 boards.
This is why I love your videos over Jay and Linus Tech and other tech shows... you make magic out of perfectly good older equipment. Good shit brother!
just like they said "One man's garbage is another's treasure"
I live in a unit here in Sydney NSW. It's quite a large complex and we have council cleanups twice a year. As a result there is often HUGE piles of rubbish dumped out the front. It honestly amazes me what people throw out. I snagged a working first gen i7 pc a few years ago. Also snagged some gt 710s and even a 750ti once. Unfortunately, it's getting rarer to find old pcs on the roadside because the bloody council has banned putting computers out on the cleanup anymore. You are now supposed to take them to a special 'ewaste' collection point. Council rates increase yet the services decrease :/ The last cleanup we had only 1 person broke the rule and put out a pc this time. But it was some old pentium 4 garbage with no ram or HDD.
Back when Intel had usable stock coolers..
0:19 hes having fuuuuuuuuuuuuuun
gratz on 500k
I remember at my old apartment complex I never really extra money for projects. One day taking the trash out to the community garbage dump, I found some old pc that had extra ddr2 ram that I used to run a small q6600 quad core machine. Grats on the find
Congratulations for 500k :) you have worked really hard to get here.
This is the same motherboard I bought brand new for my first PC build 11 years ago. Good to see it again. Keep up the amazing work sir!
- What kind of PC do you have?
- It's a rescue.
😂
Finding discarded desktops in the wilderness sure could be useful in some way. If the parts from the inside are no good, just get rid of them and replace them with fresh, new, up-to-date parts. Only the desktop case matters to keep, not the old parts from its inside.
I just resurrected 2 Lenovo USFF PCs I found at my local thrift shop. I also found 20V 3.42A Lenovo power bricks locally, and all I had to do was add 240GB SSDs to both and they're zipping along nicely for being Pentiums. Already got a local interested in the one with WiFi built in, and the other one I chucked in some spare DDR3 I had spare to bring it up to 8GBs. Goof fun, and pleasing to see these little boxes saved from e-waste.
i wish i’d see more of these roadside pcs as i’m the sort of person to not use it for anything in particular, but more something for me to mess about with
I just wanted to thank you for your videos. I picked up a Lenovo ThinkCentre PC for less than $50, and it came with an I5 4570 and 8gb ram. I upgraded the CPU to an I7 4790, added another 8gb ram, added to SSDs, and bought a used 1050 ti, and I love it! So thank you for your videos!!
Love the content. I also recently got a free pc which has an i3 4170, a 4gb stick of ddr3 ram, lenovo motherboard, cheap 200W power supply, and a 500gb HDD. I added an SSD another 4 GB stick of ram and a GT1030 and now I can play all low and some mid level games for around $175 U.S. Best deals right now are the kind where you find free old rigs and upgrade them with lower end components. Thanks again for inspiring me to find and upgrade low end pc's. It's fun and helps some kids in my local area
Many years ago (2005?) I was walking to Uni and passed a skip which had a computer case in it. After I finished up at uni, I walked past the same skip and it was still in there, so I fished it out. It had an AMD Duron, which even at the time was old, but it booted up no problem. I gave it to a friend along with an old monitor so she could do coursework at home. It's amazing what people will throw away.
This is a video showing how much possibility it is finding a computer right from the streets like finding real news. It's not possible
ive had a few "garbage rigs" felt good bringing them back to life.
Guess I gotta get into this roadside pickup stuff. My dad always got things like lawnmowers and leaf blowers off the road and fixed em up. Time to find a pc!
Love the intro and congratulations to 500K subscribers!
Now this is the Tech Yes City that I know !!!!
Keep it up Brian, long grind but 1 Mil is on the horizon :D
Looks like you forgot to re-install the fangrille on the psu.
X58
12 years old and still playing ball. Have to love it.
I think it's so hard to find PC's period. None at garage sales, none being thrown away. It's just really hard to find used PC's!!!
"friend gives me his old busted pc and we pretend we found it on the side of the road for a RUclips title"
I've never found a PC on the side of the road, but I have found a nearly new CRT TV with the remote here in the US before about a year after the digital switch over in early 09, but I do often find some good stuff at the local recycle drop off in the e-waste bin like working Apple Macbook Pros, fully working Amazon Kindles(they usually just need a battery), I3, and I5 HP desktops, etc... So yeah I love these kind of videos as I hate how much e-waste we as humans tend to create over the years, and love showing people that some of this older gear can still be very useful.
I built a _banger_ out of parts I had lying around as a spare for my son simply to play Diablo 2... i7-930 + Corsair H80i AIO, Gigabyte X58 UD3, 12GB Corsair RAM, Galax GTX-970 SOC, 250GB Samsung SSD, 1TG Seagate HDD, Corsair CX 550 PSU & Lian Li PC-P50. Only thing I bought was a Silverstone PWM fan controller ($22) and keep all fan under the control of the H80i's liquid temperature.
13:41 Oliver Twist!!! LOL!!! I got lucky with Newegg Shuffle and snagged a 3070. I really want a 3080 but I'll take what I can get.
2:00 that heatsink alone would hype me up so much if I ever see one as a throw away
That's a pretty normal heatsink though, isn't it?
@@MsHojat that is better/beefier than Intel's current cooler
I played games way back in the day on some real jank old pc's for many years, so through my eyes this is one top tier gamer
Dammm look at this make me remember my X58 system... using it until 2019 and finally upgrade to 1950X and still using my 1950X is working pc and normal gaming.
I hope the X58 build is still somewhere doing some work. As a secondary machine for when friends come over or as a homeserver or HTPC.
That looks a lot like my old PC, wait a minute...
You did an amazing job, and it's always nice to see an older hardware getting a second chance
You have such a unique channel. Hardly anyone does the content you do. Keep it up
Good find. I used to find some sort of tech in apartments dumpster once maybe every month. I live next to big semiconductor factory, they employ lots of people from all over, India and china. Large disposable incomes that get spent on tech. Once they are here long enough to buy a house or their VISA's are up, they move and throw everything away. Lots of good stuff, like new. Unfortunately the homeless population has exploded during the pandemic together with our lax'd drug laws, it has brought in a lot of new scavengers. I find nothing now or will at times get interrupted by a tweaker looking for anything he can pawn.
Haven't watched your vids since you were at around 80k just due to loss of interest in PCs for a while but wow man. Congrats on 500k, keep up the awesome content.
Well, that beats the £5 note I found the other day.
Who leaves a working x58 motherboard by the side of the road. Youd have to pry mine from my cold dead fingers! So jealous of your find.
PC's found on the roadside is my gig, brother. The things people throw out is beyond imagination these days. WA Potato Hunter reprazent. I've found 4GB Quadro's, Z series HP workstations [420's etc], entire ram raisers with 32GB of A OK sticks........ the list goes on. My current daily driver was built from trash aside from the RAM and GPU. It's an i7 4770 I found in an Intel Desktop mobo. I just threw 32GB of Corsair Vengeance and an MSI Radeon RX 570 X 4GB in it. It happily smashes the entire Adobe 2021 suite, DAW software and plugins, CSGO, Farcry 5.
You've got the intros and edits! Never expected the fun this channel is.
Wow. That's a monster of a Motherboard. A real gold mine indeed.
Brian be finding x58 boards in the dumpster while I be searching for "cheap" ones online.
You’d think for an acclaimed “gaming PC”, it’d be resold for hundreds on local marketplace even though it’s like 10 years old. The only computers I found on the curb belonged there
First song: _91nova - Wardenclyffe Second song: Hampus Naeselius - Tears in Rain
Great song for great work.
I bought two video cards when the cryptos went bust the first time. A Radeon 290x and a GTX1070. Don't worry, the cryptos are going down again and we'll be there to buy the rainfall of used videocards that are to follow. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Wow! What a nostalgia. 10 SATA ports on this motherboard. I have never seen any current motherboards having more than 8 now.
The Guy cleaning the PC outside realized it had been stolen : 👁️👄👁️
Thank You! I needed that. Nice mellow techno over some boom bap while watching some Tech Yes Lovin...lowered my heart rate.
Simcoe County, Ontario is doing a 2 week curbside e waste pick up in one week, I wonder what will get thrown out 🤔
IMO the best places to go when there is an Ewaste collection is in suburbs where the rich live, you will be surprised at what gets thrown out.
@@fullboostturbo1 I found an EVGA 1050TI and Gigabyte Z170 mobo with 2400 16gb ram at a house 😊
Great find and great video. I am so glad I got my RX 570 8GB OC on sale in early 2020 for my upgraded Dell Precision T1600 just before the first lockdowns. I paid 200 Canadian which is usually on par with the Aussie dollar. Now the same video card is more than double that. Absolutely nuts.
So nice to see some different content when all the big youtubers are just building new PC's with some weird GPUs that don't really exist in real world like 3080/3090 or what not.
Found one just like that during our recent council bulk waste collection but it had a 6850 1gb graphics card and the i7 950 with the same Gigabyte mobo! Have cleaned them but not tested yet. Also found a Fractal define R3 case ages ago with the sound damping to house it all in.
I love the way that rear fan shines across the VRM heatsink, would do great in white or sky blue
Congrats on 500k lets go for 1M in 2022?
I just resurrected a 3770K asrock extreme 4 with case with ssd, wifi, Noctua U 12S, and hard drive for grand daughter. I added a Nvidia 950 GPU I had and it runs like a top. Cleaned up the mobo and case well and it hums along pretty well. Ivy Bridge copes pretty well with modern day tasks.
I am still using an x58 Republic gamer's edition MB, with an I7-980X CPU, 24gig of Ram, 2xHD7970 GPU's, 1200Watt Silverstone Strider PSU,
I do not play any newer games than BF4 n I still most love playing COD4 modern warfare, so it should last me many more years to come I hope.
You know when a computer is to old to slow rescue when it has a hamster wheel for a cpu! 🤣
0:14 OMG I haven't watched it full yet but I knew I couldn't be the only one that did that with the dvd drive, also congrats on 500k, you really deserve it, I'm expecting 1M this year!
On the road! Now that needs some Tech YES LOVIN! The best deals!
Seeing you after a long time man! How are you?
Marco the man the myth the legend
I used to deliver newspapers. i had a tower that was about 4 cases wide all the way to the ceiling in my computer / gaming room lol. Most were way older, AGP days and stuff, but so many of them were surprisingly cool (MSI Dragon motherboard comes to mind; GTX 260 BFG edition) but I found stuff that was newer as well, DDR3 era stuff. One exciting find I got my hands on was an i7 870, that I overclocked to 3-point-something GHz. It was very hot but it was a beast for how old it was relatively and that was a couple years ago.
Over the years I've gotten a 1TB HDD from a DVR someone threw out. I've also gotten a name brand 450W PSU, Dell Core2 system, LGA1156 motherboard, AM3 motherboard, 2 Phenom II X4 CPUs, lots of DDR2 and DDR3 RAM, 3 laptops, 5 monitors, 2 TVs, and 3 air conditioners. It's still nothing compared to what you find. In 2019 I built a gaming PC for basically free, just for fun. Some of the parts I mentioned were sold to buy betters parts, others I used. I ended up with a Xeon X3470, RX480 4GB, 8GB RAM, and 450W PSU. I never did find a decent case or HDD at the time. I knew a teen that really needed a better gaming PC so I gave the stuff to him. He got a case from a friend we reused the 1TB SSHDD from his laptop and I tossed in some fans to complete the build. This was in early 2020 before the pandemic hit so he got really lucky with the whole thing.
Tech yes. Prices will not going to collapse while inflation running like crazy, under normal condition you are absolutely right.
That 6pin cable in the 8pin port is making me anxious.
There's no way I'd be throwing $200 at this PC, absolute madness !!
Antec...when you only want to create a smoke screen and not an actual fire
For the past couple weeks Ive been buying HP z240 workstations for $30 each and they have an i7 6700 and no ram/storage so I've spent basically $30-40 on ram for each one and I got 2 1070's and a rx 5808gb for $190 for all 3 and then I got a 1070ti and a 1660super for $100 each. So far I've sold 2 computers for $400 each with about $150 in them. its so fun!
100 AUD for an RX570 4Gb? Man that is dirt cheap.
I still use my DVD drive daily, not only on my vintage computers, but on my newer ones as well. I prefer it to bootable USB.
Never gets old watching you give out some Tech Yes Lovin' to those used parts!
a family member gave me a non working pc. It was the PSU, replaced it, cleaned the rest, cleared the cmos, added ssd, and it worked fine... i7920. funny thing is after I got it working he wanted it back! I said ok but not the new parts, he said in that case no. Still working, my parents use it!
Such a cool old school aesthetic
OMG!
This is awesome!
One person's trash IS another person's treasure!
I found right down the road someone who had a yard sale of their deceased father and i found a computer with an i3-7100, 8gb of ram, 512gb ssd and stock cooler so now i bought a case,16gb of ram, aftermarket cooler, gtx 970 and im gonna flip it
This music can just put you in a trace...I love it!
Mate, I left that PC before I flew to America. I felt so devastated when I forgot to pack it in my luggage. If you could ship it to me, that would be great! ✌
I'll have whatever is in your coffee. Nice to see some fun and fresh energy in the video! Keep it up
To be great you must inspire , to inspire you must be great ..... And that you are doing sir! The Tech YES City way of life is basically how trying to make the most fun and a few $$ along the way and i get to do what i love build.fix,restore! Keep the video`s coming big shout out from across the pond from canada! I cant lay a screw driver or sata cable down now my youngest son takes off with them so its a good sign
Oh yeah! Lovin' the X58 board!
Someone in my neighborhood threw out a 6th Gen system with an i5-6500, and Windforce GTX 970, a 1tb WD Blue HDD, a 750w EVGA 80+ Gold semi-modular PSU, a cheap ass DIYPC case (the purple and black one) two 8gb sticks of DDR4 (no heat spreaders) and a stock Intel cooler. The PC was nasty as Hell. They obviously were vaping since it was sticky inside and there was cat fur stuck to everything. On top of that, it was filled with hundreds of dead roaches. I cleaned that out all afternoon and saw there was nothing inherently wrong with the parts, just dirty. I got the smell under control and was able to flip it for $400. Love that win, but it sure was disgusting.
The content on the hard drive was disturbing to say the least. Had to use a Windows boot disk to enable an elevated command prompt and create a local administrator account. Glad I didn't bring it online on my home network.
That intro...Bryan has lost his mind. 🤣
Scratching off the old thermal paste with a socket cover... I like your style!
