@@catraaa5261 It wouldn't even hold back anything if they are speed matched. If they aren't speedmatched then they will run at the speed of the slowest ram installed. Considering the motherboard and the cpu they are probably already running as fast as they can.
The only issue I have on my laptop with 12GB RAM over 8 is slower post time, everything else just works better(both sticks are identical the only difference is memory amount)
For the benchmarks like Fortnite, you should probably cap the FPS to limit the bottleneck and explain why so people aren’t put off by lower end hardware. A friend of mine ran an i5-6600 and a 1050 Ti for a good while and the 60FPS cap was a godsend for CPU intensive games. People who are buying these PCs probably have a 60-75Hz monitor anyway, so it only makes sense
yep.. should almost always have a global FPS cap ~3 fps lower than your monitors max refresh rate at the used resolution, and then turn off vsync individually in all games
Love all your videos. I myself just bought a used, in great shape, lenovo erasure gaming pc off ebay with an i5 8 gen. cpu, 32 gigs of ddr4 ram, a 1 tb crucial ssd, and a 2tb sata storage drive, and an nvidia 1660 ti video card for $129 + $25 ground shipping. People are selling stuff dirt cheap just to pay high rent and put food in their mouths.
The president of the USA has a red telephone, you have a red computer! So you are totaly there. You guys made it!! Highly probable that the 2 X 2GB sticks slow down everything. The timing is not matching with the 2 X 8 GB sticks.
@2048Megabytes. A gtx 1050 is still over $100 on any reputable website. If you want to buy a used one from some rando, they are around $70. Also, the CPU in this machine is worth between 50 and 70. There's 2 components already nearly meeting the entire price they paid for this machine.
I would not consider it safe, long term, to put a magnet on a SSD. Regardless of whether it has DRAM cache, magnets could impact data being written and read from the chips on the drive, depending on the strength of the magnet.
Lenovo case, HP PSU and mobo, antec & be-quiet fans, Thermaltake cooler, mis-matched ram, random generic Chinese SSD... REEEEKing of cheap red paint... What is this build... what does this persons inventory look like? The laminated pages are the most professional things about the build
good of you to help out, but whenever there's a memory in question I doubt magnets help. I wouldn't have magnet near RAM sticks personally, even though it can't really damage it. it's just my thing. might be the cause of slow downloads tho. because peak speed was shown at 300+ Mbps and then it dropped to 19.8 also Steam cache on a local network wouldn't hurt.
I think they sell stuff on etsy too, also $220 is not that cheap for those kinds of parts. I sold my spare old PC about two years ago with almost the same specs except it had a 960 instead of a 1050, and I sold it for like $130
Newbs ain't never seen a frankenstein PC. This was thrown together from dumpster quality parts just to make a buck. I've found similar specs in the dump.
For the looks of it and the price tag, the guy is working volume. You can't complain about this build, you get what you pay for. And it has an upgrade path for cheap, tucking an i7 7700 in will make it decent.
The I219-LM is a 1Gb network adapter so it should have been able to do close to 100MB/s assuming you have fiber. I assume since you run a pc building company, you know how to check the adapter properties to ensure the nic is negotiating at 1Gbps instead of 100Mbps but to be fair, a non tech user isn't going to know how to do that so if that was the issue, it wouldn't be obvious to the user. You could also check your rj45 cables to make sure you aren't using an older cat rated cable.
Would that borked ram configuration hurt the downloading speeds? If the cpu memory controller is stuttering out would that cripple the cpu's ability to negotiate downloading? Or maybe the storage is like some fake ssd ?
I am curious to how it would have performed with an upgraded network card. I imagine playing online games was drastically affected by the network capabilities or therefore lack of.
This is the kind of frankenstein custom pc I like to see. The HP mobo/PSU inside a Lenovo case, with a BeQuiet fan, red led fan, and the random ass front i/o on the bottom of the chassis. Is this what meth does to a pc builder?
It was more than just a can of paint. And even if it was a can of paint you have to clean, and sand, and paint. They also added led strips, fans, they did the weird stuff with the front panel IO replaced with a different front panel IO that was mounted internally and had leads to that weird thing attached to the front of the case. There wasn't any cutting involved so I wouldn't say it's extensively. But it was certainly not just custom painted. It's a modded case for sure.
That is how we modded 286´s. With a can of paint and AND an angle grinder. The glass we found on the streets. The end of the 90´s and 00´s were the craziest though. I even put windows in cd writers, so you could see them spin.
Thanks for all the testing that u always do I had a budget of 400 dollars and u guys helped me find out how to play games in that budget thanks so much toaster :)
honestly it's a nice project build. The future owner should scrap that motherboard though and the power supply, I bet the cpu was being held back by the terrible vrm, it would also allow you to overclock the gpu and cpu and eek out some extra performance of this aged relic.
if you're wondering about the issue with the magnets on the ssd? SSD's are not effected by magnets that I know about, the one thing you gotta really protect against magnets are mechanical hard drives, as they can can become magnetized and be damaged as they have moving parts, and that can get stuck to the disk and scratch it to all heck, and it's going to lose your data, where as SSD's does not have any moving parts to get stuck to and damage one another, so that's why they did it, because they knew it won't damage it, but I do agree, the network on this thing is kinda bad, you're better off just getting a usb wifi receiver and going off of that, and/or maybe go direct wired connection to the eithernet to boost internet speeds. and I also agree that yes, fps capping it is an ABSOLUTE must lest you end up with gpu lag up the wazoo.
Well at least the seller tried... Edit: Magnets were much bigger threat to the mechanic drives where they could've damaged not only written data but also the mechanism depending on strength of the magnet. SSD are not so easily damaged so it would have to be really strong magnet to damage SSD.
