![The DIRTIEST computer I've ever CLEANED [4K]](/img/1.gif)
I’ll forever say it, this series and fix or flop are two of the best series on RUclips. Most original and fresh idea I’ve seen in a long time, give us more!
The cleaning thing is irritating. I do the same thing with an electric leaf blower in the garage and I'm done in 25 seconds. Watching him mess with it for untold hours is rediculous.
@@robertmorrison107 yes it may irritate you but it is an idea that no other youtuber entertained as far as I know. Also indirectly he is giving us lessons on how to clean dirty PCs with different levels of dirtiness. So yeah it is original and informative at the same time to those who need PC cleaning knowledge. And also cleaning and repasting of thermal paste in certain components like CPU and Chipset in Mobo and along with GPU Die helps to improve the performance. That is why he is taking a lot of time.
@@adityavisu it reminds me of the navy giving people a toothbrush to scrub the hull. It may make for a longer more profitable video so in the end...the engineer in me screams you are using the wrong tool for the job but more money may be the right tool for him and you certainly are standing up for him with your toothbrush and endless hours.
@@robertmorrison107 Regarding the naval experience of hull cleaning using toothbrush is something I cannot say. Yes he may have profits in the end for a longer video but also not all of us are able to afford the tools used and he kinda gave a way out using some tools like cloth. Yeah, you feel like he is taking a lot of time and I respect your opinion. But I think somethings like PC cleaning should be done taking a lot of time as some parts are quite delicate. Or else in short if we kinda chicken due to fear of damage of parts a professional can do it but then again some people will bring cost.
Any further opinion from your viewpoint will be appreciated.
@@adityavisu an electric leaf blower is standard in most US homes and can be purchased for under 50 dollars. It won't get the pc as clean as he gets it, it will get 95% off. It is almost instant, hit the radiators and try not to over spin the fans as you could cause bearing damage. Basically, why spend hours if you can be back to 100% functionality in 30 seconds with a tool we almost all have. I get it, it wouldn't be a good video and you wouldn't get a dramatic before and after
The inside of the old case looks brand new! Great job as always, Greg!
Thanks, Jay! I appreciate it.
Anyone else really enjoy the look of AMD's stock cpu cooler? Also that is such a tiny 1080ti.
Yeah that design is simple but beautiful
I love the Wraith Prism. I have one in my PC and I don't even want to upgrade it.
If you upgrade from the stock cooler, you can still use the fan, which is basically a 92mm fan with 80mm fan mounting holes.
I was shocked to find that there are 2 fans that come with it:
Super loud 7 blade fan
Surprisingly quiet 5 blade fan
That old stock Wraith Spire was actually decent because of the copper slug. The new 5600X has the stupid Wraith Stealth, not worth using at all…
For the first time I appreciated RUclips's algorithm that put one of your videos on my recommended and just went into a rabbit hole watching most of the videos, like the fix or flop, the PCDC, the Tavarish Build... hell even the stupid sue you got hit with. It is so pleasing to see the transformation of these builds and how you're kind and generous to give a little upgrade when possible. Keep up the good work man. I love watching your content
The specs are the same as my first build before I upgraded. Even the case! 😂
What are the chances😂😂
It’s pretty similar to my first build
"Ryzen 5 1600, still a great CPU"
Windows 11: I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that
Windows 11 look weird like Apple os
The 1600AF which is a zen+ is supported tho😏
@@lucasdantas723 not really tho... Only 2300X is the only supported zen+ CPU right?
Like my Ryzen 5 2400G.... Ain't on the list.
microsoft announces a new os and everyone instantly thinks the previous one is crap or something and people start scalping TPM modules... just stay on windows 10 until it goes out of support in 2025 lmao
Let's show the man some love for doing this. This took him sometime to create videos like this and i appreciate them.
Nice job, bro. I would love to see a 'before and after' regarding heat and performance. I bet the difference in temps and speed is like night and day.
Just a suggestion. Why not compare the temps before and after cleaning!
he said in a prior video that would require the viewer to give up the system password and he is not comfortable with that
@@reeping5038 Makes sense. Thanks!
@@reeping5038 does he really though? he could just replace the hard drives with his own and run stuff
@@reeping5038 just change the hard drive job done
i got the 500dx in white a few weeks ago and it has been amazing. i even used your video on the cablemod vertical gpu bracket to make it pop! keep it up man
Thanks for the support! And great choice in case ;-)
@@GregSalazar Great bang for the buck, too!
I'm interested in the case but have 2 x 3.5" drives and wonder about the heat inside the HDD cage with seemingly poor ventilation.
@@passerby6168 you can put 3 120mm fans up front for intake and the bottom will be an inch away from the HDD's
@@Meatsweats_o_O I know about the fans yes. It's the HDD cage itself that concerns me as far as the top drive goes and air remaining trapped at the top. Thank you though.
I have learned a lot from this series. Keep them coming. Love your videos
Thanks for watching!
Can we please get this man to that 1M subscriber tier? He needs to be up there with the other legends in the PC building community
this series is sooo satisfying! wish i lived near you so i can get my pc cleaned :( its hella dusty lol. keep it up man i love these
U cld just learn it by watching him....not the deep cleaning ....but the fans n all
i don't like to fiddlewith my pc as i'm afraid i will mess something up :P
@@figgywiggy9588 lol
@@figgywiggy9588
Guessing you have a prebuilt or a friend/family helped ya build. It's not that bad and parts arent as delicate as your fears make it out to be. Watch a few pc build videos to see how everything fits together and do the reverse. Being able to maintain your own rig helps in spades in both part longevity and troubleshooting hardware failures.
I enjoy the music in these videos just as much as the actual cleaning!
Serious question - how often do we dust out our towers?
Ever since I got this new one (and I love everything inside it), I'm making a habit to go no longer than 6 months at a time without giving it some attention.
Best tip I can give everyone is get your tower away from the floor - *especially* if you have pets, and one is all it takes.
I salute this man , this video is sped up and we dont realize how pain in the ass this is , i try to clean my fans and it takes me hours and there is still dust on them.
You got that thing looking brand new! I'd be curious to know how long each PC had been used since it had last been cleaned (or how long since it'd been new, if the owner hadn't ever cleaned it). Love this series.
Your should ABSOLUTELY do a thermal test before and after in these videos.
Just to show how much difference a good cleaning can make
Every one of these videos I watch makes me want to take my system back apart for another deep clean even though I just did it a month and a half ago lol! Great video like always but seeing some of these computers you might need to pick up a Hazmat suit!!!
just a tip, when cleaning the fans, spray a light mist of rubbing alcohol over them before starting. this will help loosen up the crap and shouldn't hurt the fan at all!
I hope you put that toothbrush somewhere out of reach of someone trying to brush their teeth with it! Viewer dust flavored toothpaste…
Great video. One thing I love about my T5610 is because of the design being tool free I can basically strip the thing doing in minutes making cleaning everything so easy. In the process of adding a bit of bling to personalize it at the moment too. That and upgrading the PSU for the GTX 980ti I acquired.
Greg goes to the store
Person at the counter: so how many Q tip boxes do you need?
Greg: yes
Gregarious Greg, you have now cemented the position as my favorite RUclips-r. Thanks for your content and keep going
7:19 I wonder if you clean contact pins of USB and other stuff?
If not you should make up a good way to clean those.
Best PC cleaning series in the planet, keep the great work!
I was wondering if you would be interested in doing a before and after performance review on each PC you clean, in terms of temperatures as I think that would be much more appealing for people to regularly clean their systems!
He already addressed that before and said he wouldn't.
@@GentlyUsedFrog is there a reason why? i missed out on it
@@DaRUde117 I believe it's because he doesn't want to go into people's accounts. Even if he had their consent he wouldn't snoop around because he'd feel bad about it or something.
@@GentlyUsedFrog I mean, im not trying to say throw shade or anything because of the respect i have for him but...we don't know what happens off camera after all. Im sure he still boots into windows off camera or something to make sure everything's okay. But i understand his decision.
@@DaRUde117 If there's the prompt to put in the password, i'm sure he doesn't have to go further. I don't know what's going on off camera as well but i'm just trusting him on this really.
Who needs Netflix when you got PCDC videos from Greg. Watched every Single one of them, Its just that satisfying.
Cleaned is my OCD, I'll never be too tired or lazy to clean.
Come be a maid , will be helpful thnx bro
you are really doing a hard work for your viewers and subscribers you really deserve more subscribers
Its such a satisfactory feeling when u see a component turn from a very dark color into its original colors :D
ok idk if im just weird. but why is watching this so satisfying? idc about some guy's dirty pc
Dang, first time this early faster than notifications!
Yooo!
I'm using this same GPU and it took me a thermal paste replacement, fan teardown (literally pulling apart the fans to deep clean them from the inside and to relubricate them) and an undervolt to get it to run no higher than 70°C. But seeing it run all the newest titles makes it worth it!
If only I could ship my old rig (about 1000 miles) for a cleaning so I can hand it to my daughter who wants to get into creating games for PC/Windows...
Maybe you can turn it into a father daughter activity to clean the pc
@@killtyrant Thanks for that suggestion. It'll happen once I get my pre-built machine in next month.
These videos never get old. Great music selection on this one, very relaxing.
Who else loves the videos where he fixes subscribers pc’s
I upgraded to the be quiet case a week ago (old case was 5 years old, not caked in dust, just really bad airflow) and I just learned something about my new case! 17:22 I can change the rbg of the case :D [edit: From the video that convinced me to get the case... YES, taking the seal off the tempered glass was VERY satisfying]
After seeing the PC from the "smoker"... I think my stomach is ready for anything now. Lets not mention the one with the dead roaches inside damn
I restore a lot of old computers and game consoles, and my favorite product to clean those is ammonia in warm water.
It’s cheap and works well on any part to remove dirt and grease. Also the pcb’s are as new after a good cleanup with ammonia.
"Case looks dated" the new one looks almost exactly the same
You should've seen mine! It was in the basement while it was being finished so there was drywall and other particulates in the air. When I brought it upstairs before they did mudding and taping, I had to clean it. So I went out to the garage and opened it up. It had CAKED on drywall in the fans, dust filters, all over the inside, it was nasty. It was so bad even an air compressor couldn't get all of it off. There was a huge cloud of basement dust that came out of it. It was so satisfying.
I enjoy watching these "deep cleaning" videos especially since they remind me of some of the early (3-4 yrs back) videos of one of favorite tubers - a.k.a Bryan a.k.a Mr Tech Yes City! I understand the two of you have collaborated in recent past so I am curious whether you might have experimented or considered using his "brake fluid" spray method in your own videos?
To be clear to anyone, never use brake "fluid" to clean your pc. Brake "parts cleaner" is what he uses. Most brake parts cleaner that i use (im an auto technician) are very good at cleaning and dry instantly. So I'd assume it is pretty safe in terms if cleaning computer components. Some of them however are known to discolor plastic parts and will dry out rubber components so be aware of what and where you are using it on. Imo using it on a bare pcb is perfectly fine. Also keep in mind most all brake parts cleaner is extremely flammable, so be extra careful around parts that have been on recently and have parts like capacitors and batteries on them.
I was in the same boat as the seller. I bought a GTX 1080 TI AMP Extreme for $400 in 2019, and soon after the prices skyrocketed. The seller simply didn't use it anymore, and it is now my daily driver.
The random parts in that PC remind me of a third-world bicycle.
It might be a very representative system considering how much most casual gamers really care about their hardware. When it works, it works!
Love the channel, our host and what you do brother. I came here to get my tech fix. Even if it's just cleaning, it's still knowledge. Thanks again!
6 months later and what he cleaned is gonna be a mess again 😭.
i don't know anything about Computers but damn this series is definitely worth the watch, keep up the good work Greg!
this one's gonna be good as always!
My friend you are not just cleaning the pc, you are also refreshing my eyes too 😍😍
Only came across this channel recently and i'm very happy I found you but also annoyed it took me this long. Amazing Content! This is exactly what I need, apparently im just obsessed with the before and after. Insane!!
Wow, I just happened to have the same exact case and got the Corsair Crystal 280X, this video will help me as a guide to disassemble my old case (and clean it) and migrate my old components to the new case.
Awesome series!
Nice to see the owner takes pride in his PC build and how clean it is, I'd be more worried about what his place where he lives looks like??? Great clean and upgrade vid as usual!
Huge support from Greece, really like your videos and keep up the great work !!!
After watching a few of your videos, I was inspired to deep clean my own PC. It wasn't that dirty since I clean it every few months but this time I took everything apart and deep cleaning it was pretty satisfying.
I just want to say I think you are a very good person who has a lot of patience love your content and I salute you sir.
I love watching these while sitting at work doing absolutely nothing
If you use a 5:1 diluted Maguires Super Degreaser, cleaning "finned" items goes a lot faster. Just spray on, let soak for a minute or two and rinse. Also, to get rid of tobacco tar, you can use a mix of 3 parts cheap vinegar to 1 part "Dawn" dish detergent. Removes tar and the odor. (The vinegar odor will disappear on its own.)
Love that you ID your background music.
maybe the best series on the net its so satisfying to these changes
I've had my eye on the 500DX before. I'm still rocking a Corsair Air 540 and it has served me well, but sometimes I feel like something new and the 500DX does look like a very nice case. Maybe when I finally get my hands on a 3080 I'll get the 500DX as a bonus treat.
I could (and probably will) watch this stuff for hours
I never would have thought pc cleaning videos could be so satisfying lol
Living vicariously through the dismantle, scour, and rebuild. Appreciate your attention to detail. Reminds me. Need to give my rigs a once over.
Alright, you've convinced me that I need a new case and this is the one! Mine is super old, has poor airflow, and may have required a pair of pliers to the metal a few times to make everything fit... Love the videos! Quite inspiring 🤘
The thing I liked most about the video is that he was wearing a creed shirt, I love creed
@ 14:50 notice the grommets on the hd cage, a nice touch.
This is like relaxing therapy to me. The music is cherry on top.
Appreciated watching this video. So satisfying. Thanks, Greg!
Man these videos are so good. The way you clean everything is oddly satisfying.
You go above and beyond when it comes to cleaning! I love watching these type of videos!
I did deep clean my old gaming rig for some months ago before it was put in to storage. Cooler Master HAF 922 with my trusty old Asus P8P67 LE, i5-2500k Sandy Bridge, 16 gb ram and Gainward Geforce GTX 980 Ti PHOENIX “Golden Sample”
Am I here for the cleaning or the music? Why not both?! 10/10 content Greg as always!
maybe a stupid question. if you are going further with this, why not investing in an cleaning station like they use in workshops. you can do it inside and usre a special brush with constant water flow and even use some additives for even easier grime removal.
I recently deep clean my computer after seeing your videos. Keep up the great content.
I really enjoy this series! I have a suggestion: It will be cool to tell us a little backstory of the placement of the system (floor, desk etc.) and in what environment the system was operated to be so nasty :)
That seems like smoker dust. Orange, sticky dust is usually smoker dust, placement doesn't matter.
the bequiet case is actually amazing, i bought one purely for the 3 140mm fans and the big mesh front, the air flow is sooo good. bequiet suggested to leave the fans where they are for the best air flow but as i was installing a 240mm AIO, i put 2 of the fans as front intake and i grabbed a bequiet 240mm AIO (which is also amazing) top mounted. the AIO actually has the pump outside of the heat sink meaning it will not get air bubbles in it and sound like a fish tank (like my 360mm cooler master did). really impressed with bequiet gear would suggest to any one. thier top range fans are probs 2nd to none in terms of noise and air flow, the only things that come close is Noctua but they also cost almost twice as much as bequiet for very similar performance.
Love the Soundtrack for this Video!
Kind of makes one wish you could put your motherboard and graphics card in the dishwasher.
I love your videos...entertaining and educational.
New to your channel and I binged watched this whole series and your other pc builds. Love the content!
It'd be really cool to see a couple seconds of a before and after image when you finish cleaning each component! I really enjoy this series (:
Aaah a timeless GTX 1080 ti. Another satisfying clean. Thanks! :)
I love this Playlist! Nice work!
these pcdc videos are so satisfying
Watching this PCDC-Vids with the Music at night is very relaxing for me. Also another great PCDC-Vid again. Thanks, Mr. Salazar, for the good & relaxing Content. I'm just enjoying this :-) Keep it up!
Edit: I showed my friend, who deep-cleans my PC because i can't due to a Disability in my right arm, your channel. He actually learned a few things from you to improve his own Work. I should, in his name, relay a big "thank you" from him
its oddly satisfying seeing a very dirty computer being thoroughly cleaned up. kinda like seeing someone power washing their driveway or patio
PCDC music are sick man😎😍 Great Job Greg
Great job! Didn't knew this parts can be washed!
Excellent Series Greg really enjoying it.
Dude its só Nice to watch clean series cuz ur the only One that does it
Very GOOD SERIES
Addicted to it
Love you from India , Asia
🔥🔥🔥
That Human Clay shirt is dope. Love that record.
Oh crap, I noticed the Blackout vinyl by Scorpions on the wall!
Its very rare to see see an American listening to Scorpions!
Damn, first time ever I've jumped to the video description to find out the background music. Very nice selection Greg, super chill.
Always a pleasure watching your videos, keep it up!
Great choice of music, great vid. As always.
I'd like to see a series some day where you take used/leftover parts from Fix or Flop and PCDC as well as some new parts and assemble giveaway PC's.
I love your videos, and follow your steps on how to clean a pc, keep it up man and hopefully you get 1 Million subscribers 🙏🥰
Omg THANK YOU GREG! Finally someone putting in the effort to unscrew the stock Ryzen Cooler and mount it back on with the Amd Logo up top and not sideways.
Another great episode! Thanks Greg!
