Subbed. Let's goooooo!
Yooo WASUPP
The integrated Graphics on the i7 3770K are way better than with that R5450 relatively speaking.
I once had an Athlon X2 build from as far back as 2011 that I kept up until 2017, that also died this way. It basically destroyed everything, excluding the ram. My motherboard, CPU, GPU, and storage. All of it died except for my ram.
The guy had a PCI power plugged into the EPS... That's what killed the system.
This series just took a crime documentary turn with the weird transition to the shady parking lot deals for older tech. Love it.
Paid for in small unmarked bills only!
The Intense narrating is only missing
@@rizaldygsaligumbajr2072 needs the cheesy musics
Also that
I'm just glad Greg survived... 😆
Damn he finessed you out of a new case and a ssd and got a now working pc, you are too nice. Bet money this dude knew it was all bricked and new you would replace the old junk. Or maybe I'm just jaded.
This video is very good beacuse he keep the old video card if the owner wanna game in this pc he need to get a new gpu for it other than that everything is very good ram is more than enough.
I thought the same thing loll
It's amazing how often PSU's are overlooked in builds, ending up being considered last and cheapen'd out on, but they are the most important, and critical, component of any computer.
Bros don't get a cooler master/corsair/evga/msi psu and then start crying bc they PC fried
I think its because people buy case and psu together. Also it can be because some countries have insane high prices. Corsair rm series lets say. In my country 650w costs 130e while in some other countries it costs 90.. Calculate 20-40+ euros on each parts. It adds up in total. I cant blame some people because i know how it is. Getting +50e on top vs what most countries have is kinda bullshit.
@@vitorf2303 no you just need to look what OEM is the psu like seasonic, Super Flower ecc...
@@Nicolo-ue9xu that is a huge factor but the company selling it could have messed It up if it was a sketchy company
@@haylothere4431 i think they never open the psu after it goes out of the factory
The HDD might be salvage-able if there is important data on there. HDDs have protection diodes (TVS diodes) to protect the sensitive components from power surges, usually causing the diode to fail but everything else to be saved. With some basic soldering tools the diode can be removed and the drive works again, though it no longer has any protection, so better get the important data off of it quickly.
Expensive though
it'll be expensive though
@@ronanwaring3408 well yeah... thats why he said "if you have important data"
like MANGtech VT suggested I have done a PCB transfer from another Same Spec Drive to get the files off when the PCB was the failure point.
Yep, I saved it for him and told him there are likely options for data recovery if he's interested 👍
The fact Greg went and found some replacement parts from the era speaks volumes about how far he's willing to go to get something working, that I can respect.
Love watching the fix or flop videos… even got my 17 year old son into it who’s planning on going on to collage for computer programming/coding and he has his own gaming pc he loves messing with and wants to upgrade it…. Your channel is great with such good information and knowledge to share… keep up the great work man
I really appreciate it, Matt! All the best.
I really love how old hardware is transformed so easily by upgrading the case, a 2012 blue LED heatsink and the blue ram heatsink with modern RGB fans really makes this build pop.
Seems to fishy, cpu, HDD and motherboard all dead? Who’s to say wasn’t just a random build of dead parts put together with intentions on getting free new stuff, wouldn’t be hardest thing to do, pretty much everything was replaced apart from Ram and cpu cooler
I was thinking just that: Guy did brick his old i7 and put an old graphic card hoping Greg would give him a full new pc LOL
it posssible
Definitely very fishy!
Possible
This is exactly what I was thinking. This guy submitted a junk PC to get free upgrades. No doubt in my mind.
Something seems strange. Im not quite convinced his new PSU fried his cpu and motherboard. Whatever was found between the cpu and motherboard pins takes my vote for frying his system. Maybe the viewer also changed his cpu and didnt check for debris when installing? Im not sure
I've seen systems get seriously wrecked when a PSU goes. Heck, I've had it happen with my daughter's old P4 build, when she was a little girl. It smelled like something was burning. When I opened the case, I was expecting to see a small fire in it from the smell. Thankfully, it wasn't on fire. It obviously bricked the motherboard and the CPU, since it destroyed the socket. When the PSU went, it literally fried the socket and there were melted bits in it and the CPU had scorch marks. The HDD, GPU, and memory were all fine. She was lucky I had another P4, PSU, and motherboard on hand, and I had her rebuild it as a learning experience. As a bonus, she had fun building it with dad.
@@RichWhiteUM Im not saying that a faulty PSU cant wreck havoc on a pc. It definetly can. Im just saying that having that debris between the cpu and the pins can easily cause a short and fry the motherboard and cpu, which is what we're seeing here.
was it a fireside gigabyte psu?
I almost think he sent in known dead components, as well as a cheap nasty old case and sketch psu, just to get a free upgrade
@@videogamefreak221122 its kinda what im thinking too
When you see hard drive bays in the front of your case you know your in for a treat.
Gets even better when you see the Ketchup and Mustard cables.
@Bobbybob most modern cases don't have bays like the old days, they have mounts either on the bottom of the case or at the back of the case.
@Bobbybob Mounts and bays, some are in the PSU enclosure access from the back of the case. These are for people who have HDD.
@Bobbybob Hard drives are out dated and so most new cases don't even have them
@Bobbybob 90% of people don't use Hard drives anymore....They use SSD's or M.2's , Hard drives are old, slow and basically ancient and useless
I had that same Z77 Extreme4 motherboard and i5 3570k in my build I built back in 2013 after graduating from high school! Man, seeing that brought back memories! Really solid stuff that lasted me until I upgraded summer 2020.
I have a sneaking suspicion this guy gave you dead components on purpose to get a free upgrade, and specifically got an incredibly cheap and old looking case and psu so you would upgrade those
@@ThePhoenix198 I would question him on it tbh. But there’s a reason I said SUSPICION. You said the thought crossed your mind, so does that make you “judgemental” as well? Plus a few others in the comment section mentioned it. I’m not Greg, you’re right, so I don’t have first-hand exposure, and you’re right, it’s his call. It’s all just speculation because something feels off
Just wanna say Greg this is the only set of youtube videos I truly look forward to watching these days and I really mean that, I always love the opportunity to learn something new so I thank you very much :)
Love how dedicated and 100 you keep it with every type of build that is thrown at you. Great video as always!
This series is so satisfying to watch, Greg, you're so organized with fixing rigs and I have learned something new in every of your videos. Keep up the good work.
People be like: gather all the old dead components from your old builds in a case and send them to Greg, he'll swap them with new working ones.
Pretty funny, and true.
hopefully no ones that scummy :/
@@Treasurebro123 People are that scummy
@@MegaPepsimax Especially in today's market. Between the scalping and growing number of naive first-time PC buyers/builders, it's not hard to believe.
Great episode, Let it be a good lesson to any would be builders, Never skimp on your PSU! It's the heart of your system.
@@99Teutons Why isn’t this a lesson to never skimp on a good power supply? He needed a new one for his new GPU unfortunately he chose a crappy unit. Had he got a good one this wouldn’t have happened hence it being a good lesson.
Yeesh, a PSU crapping out is the worst. Had an Antec EarthWatts one go pop on me once; I was damn near lucky it didn't destroy the entire platform it was powering, let alone caught fire. This is why I swear by Corsair PSUs, though I'd also stick to other well-established brands like EVGA or ThermalTake.
@@daytimerocker3808 how do you know he went for a bad unit?
@@Spido68_the_spectator Because it failed.
@@99Teutons True.
This is the first episode of FoF where I feel uneasy about this PC. It's not totally impossible for all those components to go bad at the same time. I've seen it happen before in my line of work. There were just a lot of small red flags that this viewer staged this setup for a free upgrade. Seems like a lot of these parts could've been all put together with the knowing that they're broken.
imagine he just bought it dead for about %20
Not sure i mean this build wasnt that bad i7 ..ddr3cheap build make sense that he tried to cheap out on psu
1000% agree
@@falsify3228 Or free. I would have recycled the whole mess. After a power pop, I wouldn't put the memory into a client PC. The rest was trash.
HI Greg, just wanted to say thank you for all that you do on your channel! I learn a lot from the PCDC and Fix or Flop videos. Love how thorough you are. You explain every step of the way and why.
Wow, thanks!
You are a really good hearted man for doing that sort of thing Greg. Love your content.
So basically, that's a new computer. It's like the mop head and handle riddle. Once you change both parts once, is it the same mop? The only thing that is original is the chassis.
Enjoy this series immensely, Greg. Really helps the average user go through a series of set checks for troubleshooting all issues with a faulty PC system. Thanks!
Thank you for another great video! Showing the whole process comprehensively is very relatable but also very interesting content in those tricky situations. Keep up the work Good Sir!
Great video Greg, thanks for tip on checking if hard drive is bricked - feeling the disk drive to see if it spins
What sucks about this situation is that you had to give him practically a new computer as the only thing salvageable is the Ram, thats a bummer
Love watching this series! It teaches a lot and I learn a lot about pc’s from this series! Also glad I’m early to this video
Love the series Greg. Very generous of you to take the time and effort to repair PC's for those in need of help.
Love your series. This is the 2nd episode I've watched and I'm hooked. I've learned a lot from the two that I've watched. Keep up the great work! It's really nice to see someone focused on helping his local community. You're a good person.
Just started watching, and I can't wait seeing the result! Love your videos
Hahah thank you! 😄
Dude straight up sent in a pc he got at goodwill
Love watching your videos Greg, been playing on laptops for years (mainly for the portability) and finally got a PC a few months and have been trying to learn everything that I can and your videos are very helpful. Keep up the good work!
I love this series. It's a change up from the build videos and reviews your peers make, plus it keeps your content fresh and engaging. Though I do find it interesting that there's enough busted PCs in your area to make, at least, 2 seasons worth of content.
Serious question: how do you know if people aren't purposely nuking their builds in hopes of a free upgrade? I really hope people aren't, but I just don't want people to take advantage of your service / kindness 😬
Yep, that also can happen. Specially in this case in tosays video. Look super-SUSS
I mean technically this guy got a downgrade.. so if he legit nuked his build.. it backfired on him. Lol. I dont know what mobo he had maybe that was an upgrade.. but that i5 will struggle in 2022.. 4 cores just aint enough now. Lol.
@@Chilledoutredhead Or he bought a knowingly dead system for dirt cheap, either or.
@@Chilledoutredhead bud im on 8th gen i3 with two cores get fucked
@@madfartman6186 Dude calm down. That's a 3rd gen i5. You are talking about an 8th gen. There's a huge difference in the compute power of each core between those two generations. And what cpu do you have anyway that is an 8th gen i3 with 2 cores because what I am seeing points to all of those being laptop cpus. So based on what I'm seeing is that you are telling me you have a laptop and can technically run windows on it in the modern day. Big whoop. You cannot do anything serious with that level of power. What can you do with it? Play old as hell games at 30fps? Open spreadsheets? Browse the web? Check email? Stream youtube and the like? Because you sure as hell are not playing modern games with any reasonable framerate in a laptop that has an i3 in it. I can assure you of that.
Always loved your series, a great escape from being stuck at home thanks to Covid!
As a IT and Computer technician I found this much more informative, fun to watch and much more reliable than my own notes that I study 😂 I love this series and thank you for the great learning experience Greg wish you all the best!
Honestly love watching your videos, learn about the dos and donts and realize my build isn’t as bad as I thought. It’s amazing how you break stuff down to simple terms for us thank you
Wow, this guy really guy himself a good deal! "Here's one of my out of date, broken machines that I've scavenged dry - can you give me a new one for free... I mean fix it?"
yea.... honestly would love to be this dude. he literally got everything upgraded except for his cpu which is barely a downgrade. throw a decent gpu in here and it'll run games just fine.
Was thinking the same thing.
as someone that's actually still using a p8z77-m with an i5-3750, that might not be the case, the chip at the very least is still very much usable, the graphic card and hard disk are very sus though
Just in time to watch while eating dinner ! Great video as always Greg !
I really like this series, it's very entertaining to watch while I eat, am bored, or while i'm doing online school. On top of that, you've been pumping out episodes really fast for S2 so far, and that's really nice to see as well. Been watching the channel for a while, and have watched you grow. I still love your content all the same, and I think it's definitely gotten even better. Keep up the great work man :)
Seeing this video pop up on my home page this morning instantly made my mood brighten, amazing videos! Thank u for this experience Greg.
This build was such a glow-up, it was such a good work. When I was a child, my dad and me found out the hard way that a bad PSU fries all the components... we went through two CPUs, so you can bet the lesson was learned. The people who fixed our PC never changed the PSU, and until it fried up, we really had no idea why it was happening.
Idk, this one is a little bit suspicious. The bent mobo pins with all the debris and dead cpu doesn’t make a ton of sense, like you would’ve had to remove the cpu at some point for all that shit to get there. But what really doesn’t make sense, is the dead hard drive (unless it died in transport or something) hard drives generally have surge protections and other things, so I doubt a psu popping would kill one. Combined with the old nasty case, and sketchy power supply, it almost feels like he sent in a bunch of known dead or shitty components to score a free upgrade (or at least, a working build)
Popping noises are always fun to hear from a pc! 😂
Seriously, please keep these videos coming. Truly look forward to these since I built my first pc.
I absolutely love seeing you trying to revive old hardware. Back in the day I was right there with that guy... Needing to keep the old boy running. Thank you for the valiant attempt.
I encounter weird and uncommon problems watching these series which increases my knowledge on troubleshooting PCs. 👍
This is the first build I've seen in any series that seems like a scam meant to bleed you for parts. At the end of the day, he got a new case, new board, new CPU, new RAM (that he might not need), new SSD, new Windows installation, new PSU. That's...a whole ass build. Old, yes, but still.
No you are wrong... whatch the vid again... He got a downgrade cpu and kept the same ram. I agree, it could be scam but dont exaggerate.
He got a worse CPU, and kept the same ram. Even if it was a scam, I have a doubt he would’ve anticipated getting a case as well
@@dankerine some would say he got a better CPU since, you know, THE ONE HE STARTED WITH WAS BROKEN. A grift is still a grift if you trade a dead dog for a nickel regardless of how awesome the dog was when it was alive.
But yes, he might not use the $10 DDR3 RAM. My bad.
You children have a few lessons left to learn, it would seem.
Really enjoyed this episode of fix or flop! Full of new info I didn't know before. And the dark blue and black color scheme is soooo nice
Thanks bro!! I enjoy increasing my knowledge on how to fix computers and I enjoy watching u help others. Super nice. Keep it up. Wish I could help u but I live in Cali.
Check the caps on the old MB, especially on the older boards, a lot of them use the non solid caps, so you usually see the caps that failed due to them bulging or popping at the top. Capacitors are easy to replace and dirt cheap. If you can't find the except size capacity, just make sure you get the same voltage and while the capacity can be same or above to a degree. *Oh and don't forget the polarity/direction. And lastly if there are any small fuses on the MB, you will seem the either shattered or black.
Unless the user is willing to pay for that sort of data recovery effort, the labor isn't worth the end result. You can get a PNY 250GB SSD for $20 and have two minutes of labor. If labor is endlessly free, that's not a real market solution.
Had a power supply pop on me recently, so I've been looking forward to an episode like this! Fortunately for me, the build works just fine after getting the RMA'd PSU.
@@mikeycrackson No, I steered well clear of them. It was an EVGA SuperNova 750 GT
Congrats on 800k subs Greg. I am hooked to you're videos ever since trouble shooting an issue with my Memory cards. Now I do most pc mods myself thanks to your content
Thanks Greg for this series. This is a good example to show people how to fix things and how easy it sometimes is to solve a problem.
This video also shows how easy you can make your system look brand new. Just swapping the case and buying an SSD.
Love watching your content Greg, you are such a nice person and a pleasure to watch. However I think your good nature has been taken advantage of here for free upgrades. I cant believe that system was in everyday use, more like old components thrown together to see if they could get a new system for free. Hope im wrong about that.
That's a possibility, but bear in mind not everyone can afford to upgrade every two or three years. A 3rd gen platform is still really solid for average everyday tasks and can even handle most of the games fairly well paired with a 1050 ti or a 1650
Currently watching, but I wouldn't hate him going through the HDD and seeing if there's any logs that corroborate the end user's story. EDIT - got to the part where the HDD is dead. Bleh
Core i7 3770 is an excellent CPU even in 2022. I had one paired with an RX 590 and got a solid 80 FPS in warzone
I have an i5 3570 paired with a 1060 and i get a solid 70-75 fps in warzone, old but useful:)
Just finished watching one of your other episodes and I gotta say that seeing your videos keeps things interesting, you are very thorough with your work and they way you present everything makes things simple for others that don't know much about computers. Keep up the great work bud.
Toronto viewer.
Love this series. Very helpful and definitely helps people troubleshoot their own build. Keep it up!
Well this has scared me.. imagine spending thousands of dollars on a build and a psu shorts it.
It happens (although not to me so far). Even a Seasonic can shoot craps on first power up or fall on the sword with a power surge.
It seems weird, to say the least, that so many parts have broken down at the same time. And all the parts are old...
I've been working with PCs for over 20 years and I've never seen anything like this happen. It may have happened but I think you should be more careful because there may be people who try to take advantage of it to get basically a new PC.
For me this was what hapened he pushed that i7 3770k to far like 4.5 or 4.6 ghz and pop. Overcloking without a good psu does this we all know that.
@@ThePhoenix198 or... hear me out... he may have had this happen to him in the past, and is giving a friendly warning to someone he enjoys watching who he doesnt want to see taken advantage of.
@@ThePhoenix198 lol. No, it's because people are truly scumbags, people should earn trust, not be given it..
@@ThePhoenix198 I can say exactly the same. You know nothing about me or why I have that opinion but yet you are prepared to judge me. In my experience, someone who defends someone that much is because probably have done or would do the same and is trying to clear their conscience.
@@porkykid Obviously. There's always good people and bad people everywhere.
Greg, I LOVE this series. I've been a computer tech for 20+ years and love watching you troubleshoot. I compete when I watch this series to see if I can get to the root cause before you do. Sometimes I do, but even then I understand your method as opposed to mine. My method is to attack the most likely cause, where you go for the simplest solution. Even though our methods differ, I think you're awesome! Keep it up brother!
Reliable PSU is a MUST. Thanks again, Greg. Enjoying this series and seeing people get upgraded. Love to see that MSI is supporting this series!
Did you learn how to do stuff like this through college or experience? Also do you know what type of degree in the computer engineering field would be most geared to stuff like this? Thank you.
Just experience! Anyone can do it with a bit of practice. No college required.
@@GregSalazar Your problem solving skills and intelligence matter. That's a matter of experience, IQ and learned reasoning skills. Getting into the habit of learning as a lifetime journey is important but not everyone has the attention for it because life is difficult. It does help to have some background information to understand things like clock cycles when addressing simple questions like what is DDR.
You probably take logic gates for granted. I think of boolean logic as baby algebra but if someone has never had algebra, that's not enlightening. The risk is that our assumptions about common knowledge can quickly leave us incapable of communicating effectively to clients or even techs. I saw technician eyes glaze over almost instantly when I would talk about a pointer in an INI file but it can be rewarding to have someone's eyes light up because they recognized something useful from their programming classes. I think I was talking about building INI files to provide different layers for networking connectivity for mixing different protocols for mainframe, Novell and TCP or something before Windows did all that for us but there are more useful examples today. Anyway, you do a good job of communicating.
These videos are just amazing after doing a build yourself. It's like endlessly feeling the triumph of FIXING something, again and again
Love this series. Not only do I learn something, but I enjoy seeing people being helpful.
Hey Greg just wanted to say love the videos, they really help me, I'm pretty new to the whole pc thing, and these videos really help me figure stuff out.
I'm new to your channel but have watched about four of your videos now, and I have to say I'm pretty stoked with your knowledge and troubleshooting skills. I've seen so many other channels that I'm unhappy with because of little quirks. Thank you Greg!
Love this series. I am a mac user, haven't built a PC for ages, but this is so fun to watch. Nostalgic, Good old gaming days of upgrading & building PC.
This is such a great concept. And I love how you are just straight up honest on how you make money. New sub.
You really go above and beyond for these builds! Love to see it.
Omg what a trip was this episode, I Love the series, please don’t stop!
Great job!
Thanks, really enjoying the troubleshooting videos!
You should consider catching the pc owners reactions to the fix/upgrade. That would be a nice addition I think.
Yessss
i loved the late night shady deal in a parking lot for old tech parts.
i think most of us have been there at some point.
great video Greg!
love this series ive also learnt some things, keep it up!
You are so generous for fixing these builds for free, even upgrading when needed. I just hope you're aware that it's possible people could be taking advantage of said generosity for free fixing/upgrades.
Great thing,Greg!!
For getting into older Fix or Flip stuff!!!!
you've definitely taught me some troubleshoot skills appreciate the knowledge
Great job Greg! The video brought back memories of when I had a power surge in a thunderstorm and it took out my motherboard and power supply. Amazingly the cpu was still ok and nothing else was damaged. Had to buy another motherboard and psu and also most importantly a surge protector. Learned my lesson, surge protectors installed everywhere in the house now lol.
Need a whole 52 weeks series of this fix or flop. is one of my favorite things to watch on RUclips keep up the good work
Out of season christmas for this guy. Great video!
Loved this episode. Twists and turns everywhere and the upgrades were great.
Amazing how a case can make crappy components look great! Great clarity on the issues ... your channel is very visual and informative.
This Fix or Flop playlist shows that not everybody has a really highend gaming pc that we see in instagram feed. I really like that!
I love how amazing the old tech looks with a few changes like the case and power supply.
great video favorite series on your channel hope to see many more videos !
I’m glad you matched up the psu with the case!
Really enjoy this series, keep on making them.
That high pitch squeal is the death scream of a roasted Transistor/Mosfet.
I really appreciate that I can learn. It's been years since I have worked on computers. 2005 is the last time I was using a computer for gaming.
If I ever became a prof that teaches about computer, I would definitely use this series as an education material thingy. You're really informative and you replicate the problem which is the one of the most important thing in troubleshooting.
hey man i really love your vids. as you said, there is almost no content like this, that can help out ppl not knowledgeable of pc components and how to fix it. i loved working arround computers my whole life and want to make a channels similar to yours but in spanish (My main language). keep the good work, am really loving this series
dude you are amazing for doing this... its amazing you are fixing these PC's for people for free.... you are a good person dude!
Greg gets to make videos helping pay his bills ,we all love the videos and the individual with a broken PC gets back up and running. We all win
love these videos. i just built my son a ryzen 5 5600x gaming pc with the knowledge i have learnt from your videos. i forgot to give the MB power but i kept calm and did what you would do. thank you :)
u went out and bought something for a viewer, man thats something what we dont see everyday. Thank u Greg for making someones day
I first looked at the case and was wondering if you were going to give them an upgrade, glad you did!
Thanks this is really useful troubleshooting for my job. I can't say I work on just PCs but your processes can be applied to a bunch of applications.
Good job bro. Glad there is great peeps helping others in the tech world 🌎
very educational loving this typ of content
Been waiting for this new video like a kid waiting for santa. Thanks for the awesome job Greg
I LOVE this series and you literally saved me HUNDREDS of dollars tonight! My computer did a normal windows update before I shut it down for the night. Then I noticed it started back up with a black screen. VGA light was on the mother board. I was about to lose it and try all kinds of trouble shooting, then I remembered your words... clear the CMOS. Of course I tried reseating the GPU first but you saved me time, sanity and MONEY! Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
