Congrats on the successful series launch and progress. Parity views with Subs is a good marker for the algorithm. Cheers
Hey Greg I bought the Windows 10 key and used your discount but when I type in the key. It tells me that the key didn’t work? What should I do??
Hopefully you can see this and help me out.
man that 4700k running on stock cooler lmao
Just wanted to ask u.. wht liquid u use with the cotton balls to remove those dust??? Is it safe to use tht liquid on electronic parts???
Man...that was some good cleaning. Good to see that Haswell still kicking after all the years.
Thanks! Was refreshing to see a Haswell chip under all that dust! 😁
Just built a new 5900x based system but my haswell 4690k still runs strong in what is now my brothers system!
What the crap is going on
I was running a 4790k @ 4.6ghz with a 980ti up until mid last year. Such a great cpu and gpu combo that lasted a very long time.
Still got a 4770K system as HTPC.
This ain't cleaning no more. I'm considering this as an upgrade.
2021 and onwards, people be like when it's time to clean their PC, they decide to upgrade their PC instead 🤣😂
A new cpu cooler is an upgrade for sure. As much as people focus on the GPU and CPU, all other hardware is important too
@@gurshair I got a nice system with a beefy cooler and a beefy GPU. I am just only considering upgrading my storage because I am nearly full on my C drive as well as my D drive. I have my OS installed on my SSD and everything installed or stored on my hard disk drive. I will move my OS onto another SSD or possibly an M.2 drive and just have my SSD and my HDD as a 2nd and third internal storage device.
Nah bro, other then the cpu cooler, is the same system. If this had been a Bitwit video, the "cleaning" would had involved building a completely new pc, and only using that ssd she gave him LOL.
@@josejuanandrade4439 He upgraded the PSU aswell
*Gets free pc cleaning*
"I'm gonna give her a new PSU and CPU cooler for free"
What a bargain
@Sei how is he a simp
@Sei how
The only word some people know is simp.
@Sei because what you say makes no sense and your not using it correctly its an over used word
@Sei No ones mad just saying simp makes no sense thats it lmao
I learned how to build pcs last year 2020 watching videos like yours and I must say I am very proud of my build and recently I cleaned some ones dirtiest pc and I have to agree, it was very satisfying to take it apart and clean it, bring it back to its original state and put it back together again and I wished I would had seen this video first. I didnt know you can take apart a GPU and you have great tips on this video. Thank you for the content and yes it is like therapy. God Bless.
"She only has Skyrim and one other thing"
So, 300gb of mods lmao
i guess it was not formatted in process of this cleaning :)
loved the fact
Lmao...i have around 600GB of mods installed. 😂😂😂
How did you get into my hard drive...
It do be like that
"This is the dirtiest PC I've ever worked with"
*cries in Computer Recycling company technician*
send him one of the PCs you work with 😂
@@WisteriaBerlitz That'd make a killer video, but I have no authority in the company I work for unfortunately.
@@ScoobaMusic just gotta wait till there're parts that your company won't be able to recycle I'd reckon
Even an old ancient case would be a good thing to send 😂
I've known dead dessicated mice inside cases before!
dirtiests start when the thick smoke smelling dust is crunchy when touched.. had the experience..
Do you guys remember when EVERYBODY was sponsered either by raid shadow legend or honey?
Some are still are.

Yeah I think it's a lot less, I haven't seen that many people getting sponsored in a while
Maybe because too much money, got enough publicity or just sticky to 1 youtube like honey is sticking to mr beast I'm pretty sure

Cool little story: A few years ago, Kyle, Lisa, and I went to a Starset concert in Destin, FL. We had no idea who the opening bands were gonna be, but an artist by the name of "Grabbitz" ended up playing an awesome set. Fast-forward to today and we're able to use their licensed work through our partnership with Monstercat! Give them a shout if ya get the chance, and be sure to check out more of Grabbitz's work: ruclips.net/user/GrabbitzMusic
@DMoney Industry dumb
@DMoney Industry maybe you read that wrong? This comment had nothing to do with the cleaning. The user "Courtney" had nothing to do with the music.
I actually love the song used in this video, glad they are on Spotify! 😁
That's a very efficient case, I like how shallow it is.
The music is pretty good, I would strongly prefer it without Autotune, I dislike artificial voices.
I remember having a relative asking me why their pc shut itself down while saying it was overheating.
Let's say the insides were caked with dust, the CPU cooler was even worse than that and the entire case had a thick layer of black dust.
_ew_
@@GregSalazar the cpu cooler was so bad I had to remove the fan from it and run it under a faucet.
Then I let it dry, reatached the fan, put some fresh thermal paste and installed it.
But yeah, it was very gross.
sounds like family
My first computer, a prebuilt HP from a shop, about 15-20 years ago, used to get really loud in the summer and I didn't have a clue why. Obviously I knew it was something to do with the heat, but I didn't have a clue about heatsinks, fans, etc.
I think the fan must have just had 2 modes, low and full blast!
It wasn't even that dirty since it was fairly new, just a stupid prebuilt cheap computer.
Definitely a good idea to build your own PC though, so that you know what all the components are and what they do.
Yummy dark chocolate
You're seriously becoming one of my favorite tech youtubers. Your set always looks so clean, the editing is superb and you really know your stuff. It was satisfying to see this build cleaned and given some new flare. Thanks to your videos I was able to swap out my power supply yesterday which I've never done before. Now I'm super excited to tinker and upgrade my pc more. Keep it up!!
Wow, thanks!
This was awesome! Can't wait to see more. There are always minor problems found during a clean up, and I appreciate the upgrades to help out. That was awesome as well!
*Shltty fans only got molex connectors*
Others: Buys new fans.
Greg: Swap a whole new PSU.
@miko inventor Or buy an adapter lmao either way is easier and cheaper than replacing a whole new PSU where you have to rewire everything again with is a PITA.
He probably have a bunch of PSUs to spare, so it was easier to just grab one.
Budget people: Buy SATA power to molex adapter, it's like $1 or something.
@@Archmage1809 lol yeah i think those cables are really dangerous i think they catch on fire or something theres a famous linus tech tips quote i love molex to sata loose all your data😅🤣
Dun use Molex for fans for crying out loud.
"A relaxing series"
*Plays hype techno music*
hahaha thougt the same... had to mute it and play some other mellow stuff instead :D
i hope they gonna fix that in the next episodes
Just mute.

There's one thing desperately missing from this video: HER REACTION!!!! That'd had been so cool :D Please consider adding that to the next videos in this series! cheers
If he did this it would feel like pimp my ride and i think he could make it a serious series alot of people would watch lol
Covid is probably the one thing stopping that
Maybe she doesn’t want people to see her face? Some people dont want random people on the internet watching them
@@reubenwl2804 her face can be blurred or she can be not completely on screen? there are other ways to react...
@@silversunnybunny if her face was blured i dont think it would really be a reaction
Need her reaction video when she got it back, nice upgrades for her and hopefully she'll dust this one every week.
Had to go back to the beginning of the series. Looks like most old PCs are rocking 4th gen Intel. Must have been good times 😂

15 years ago I worked at a CompUSA. Cleaning smoker's PCs was the biggest deterrent to cigarettes you can possibly imagine.
Yep... horrible brown paste of nicotine and dust - I helped an old friend once.. bleh.
I feel your pain brother. I used to work with cars. The smell is really unbearable for a non-smoker.
I use to work as a slot technician at a smoking casino. Now those were bad!
I bet, I've only had to strip down a used gpu I got off ebay down, clean the board and everything, even replace the then browned thermal pads to get rid of the smoke residue and cat hair. Couldn't imagine whole PCs. Also having to douse used guitars and their cases in baby powder for days at a time and dryer sheets to get rid of the smell. Smoke free and pet free are huge bonuses on listings now.
@NonLegit Nation ya definitely, I used to take my pc outside or next to this hepa filter i have to blow it out with an electric blower. I got a small battery operated vacuum for Xmas to use on keyboards and whatnot and am interested to see how it does inside the pc. Will still need to blow out certain areas but can reduce enough by just vacuuming the vents and front grating on my pc.
Holy crap, this type of content is amazing. It’s like ‘Odd Tinkering’, except it’s PC and PC parts. PLEASE KEEP THIS UP!!!!
Will do! :-D
Yeah I really enjoyed this content. It's definitely unique from the other popular tech youtubers
You should do a version of pimp my ride or something PC version because that's the feeling I got from watching this video
And this is the story of how i found this channel
i literally came from an odd tinkering video
I love that you include what equipment you’ve used in the description. Love when people do that.
Man what a gem, enjoy the cleaning and setting up vidoes. Appreciate that you showed the way to organize the cables! Learned something that I can do for my own pc :D
Greg "i want her to have the honors of pulling the plastic off her own build"
Me "good on you. As it should be"
This part made me hit the subscribe button. Nothing like pulling the plastic off a fresh rig
What if she's one of them monsters that doesn't take the plastic film off?
that is honestly the most satisfying thing lol and that brand new technology smell
id pull the "plastic" off "her build" any day ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@SpuddyWesker Really?
How awesome of you to upgrade some things for her! You're awesome. Love these types of builds, keep it up!
Thanks for watching!
@@GregSalazar That goes double for me. There are still awesome folks in this world. Cheers
I loved your video bro keep the content coming!!!!! Loved the music and editing.
As someones who allergic to dust this almost made me sneeze just looking at it lmao 6:10
I came across this vid randomly and I gotta say, target algorithms are getting much better, this was fantastic.

ill send u my pc from europe hope it wont cost a fortune. ps dust bunnies are as big as german shepherd here in EU
JK. but about which part u have to wait to find out
the PSU was facing fan up/ in
For stuff like the video card pcb, would you recommend using the spray electronic cleaners? I don't feel comfortable scrubbing the little components (diodes/caps/fuses ect.)
Don't need my PC cleaned but I do live in Orlando. Any good places to get pc parts around here other than best buy?
I love this new series concept, Please keep it going!
"Tech is hard to come by right now" - has enough hardware to stock a store with in the background

Empty boxes 🤭🤭🤭
They're boxes. And what stock I do have was largely sent before this graphics card price bubble. Chill.
@@GregSalazar i think it was a joke
Most things influencers are sent are engineering samples therefore un sellable
so been watching your videos for a couple months now. I have to admit im glad you started this series. It is actually relaxing,
This was so satisfying and it’s awesome you hooked her up with a few new parts
Guessing he charged her for those parts though?
@@chrissy93x highly doubt it probably were gave to him by the companies
Dude, you seem like such a good person. Like, I'm stoked there's people out there like you.
Not even gonna say anything🤐🤐
He produced content though
A "good" person who made thousands from this video lol
@@thelonercoder5816 how does that make him any less good? This is not a charity channel lmao, the least he can do is get paid through ads while helping out others.
@@hogexd point is that there is an incentive and he's not doing it for charity..
Bro I love the way the clean it piece down the to component level! Excellent! work!
Its amazing the worlds these chips have opened up for us, I cant wait to see pc's 20 years from now.
If PCs had a car wash this would be the "Salazar Deluxe" option.
What is your profile pic. I get haunted by it on TF2. Some good pub-stomping soldier.

Am I the only one that sees this pc as clean before? My pc is caked in dust

Greg, you are the cleverest and at the same time the kindest PC-tech person I've ever seen. I love your contents.
It's amazing, neat and professional work

Yea. I was like What the actual heck. And they low key repeat the same thing the whole video.
@@ashthewierdo4963 yh
I did pretty much the same thing last week, I got a new case and an SSD, fresh install of windows, and some new case fans. Its like a pretend upgrade for when the core components actually come down in price.
SSD should have enough wow this is fast factor to extend life of your pc for some time
Did the same thing. But no thermal paste lol.
It brought me so much joy when you upgraded her power supply! We all have ran into this problem, where we buy used parts to save money and small issues tend to come up from doing so. Like her not getting the simple cable because the last guy didn’t need it. Usually for me this is something that would need ordered then you play the waiting game. The fact that you could just fix the problem immediately instead of telling her she needs to order a $10 wire was such a solid thing to do! You definitely earned a sub with bells from me! Great videos man! Keep up the great work! 🙏🏼
Man that thing looks awesome! Good job!
Step 1: *Take it into your front yard and use a leafblower*
I really enjoyed this. Then again, this is one of my favorite things to do with PC's... or anything really. Taking it from looking nasty, to new again. Nice to see someone that takes it to a similar level too.
Thanks for watching!
Nice to see you here Mr Optiplex
Great video. Nice that you do this for people.. 👍👍👍
Really liked this one Greg excellent work and a really nice finish amazing.
Courtney should consider posting a video of herself peeling off the tempered glass seal/film. Also... this song is gonna be stuck in my head all day now.
When i saw the new case, the OC in me kicked in and thought: "he already gone through the tidious task of breaking down that gpu, might as well paint the red components to match the case."
I love to do this also at work and i could say i feel relaxed when cleaning my officemates pcs too (but not to the level of breaking down gpus and coolers)
He took it completely apart to do a complete cleaning, might as well paint them cuz the parts already taken out lol.... I cleaned my PC once, ended up just replacing the god damn fans cuz it was just too damn dirty and wired the back and tidy it up. Everything is taken apart, might as well do it now.
Yes, please continue to do these videos! Loved it!
Well done Greg, this should serve he well for more to come. Your ethics are right on man, good man.
As an A+ technician, watching this all I can think of is cleaning and repair 101: remove all jewelry and watches
wow A+
as a backer i can tell u the same when u work in the kitchen ^^

And the static 🙁
@@Quoi.Phoque It does not take a lot of ESD to fry a motherboard. Hes not gonna get hurt, but the components easily could.
RAM + motherboard components can fry if you’re not grounded easily especially in a high ESD environment (Humid areas). An anti static matt or band takes like 15 seconds to put on, takes a whole lot longer to resolder a fried node or replace the motherboard
I’ll give it to you though that with modern components, this isn’t as much of a problem. But it’s still best practice. And when handling other people’s computers, ya shouldn’t risk it man.
Really enjoy all your videos!
Was very satisfied like watching a nature videos. thank u gerg for amazing educational videos.
Props for not just doing the job, but doing it right.

love this series
Honeestly? That pink case looks really freaking good
This was trippy to watch...I just transferred over my internals to a pink case from that same company. I also have an MSI graphics card and a corsair power supply, so when you opened it up I had to do a double-take. My components definitely didn't go into the new case quite that clean, though. This was fun to watch! Thank you!
same case same motherboard same cpu fan and not trippy to watch. cuz there are only few alternative
I was just looking for videos on changing out thermal paste and stumbled upon this and now I am thinking I may as well do a full clean like this. Thanks for doing it on a system that was actually used for a long time before being cleaned, that was my biggest concern was that I’m sure the inside of my case is not as impeccable as the other videos I found.
wonderful - relaxing watching, love that you've got Grabbitz - one of my favourite tracks :)
With all those dust bunnies, I am surprise you didn’t find a rabbit skeleton in there!
Go in for a clean and leave with a new psu and cpu cooler.
If only getting my car cleaned would result in some uprgrades.
Had a 20 yr old pc that wouldn't turn on. After deep cleaning like ur videos I finally got it working (thank God!). Years of family trips recovered thanks to u!!!
You’re a good man! Helping her out with this clean upgrade!
I love this! I do this all the time! Love the small upgrades here and there; taking new parts to rejuvenate old hardware. Keep it up!
You need to do this as a monthly or a biweekly series. This was so satisfying.
Lol bi-weekly would be brutal on him.
@@alexandsimba Bi-weekly is a stupid nomenclature, it could mean twice a week or every other week. Same with bi-monthly, twice a month or every other.
Bi-weekly means twice a week. Its obvious he meant fortnightly.
Bought the air duster from your desc and it's amazing. I love it.
The fact you helped her out with new parts, good on ya!

as soon as I seen the Ostrog case I knew it was an old PC. I used the red version of that case for my build, before the one I have now. And the one I have now I built like 4 years ago.
The music is sooo beautiful and it makes the video more enjoyable then it is already 😁 keep the good work 💪
Super cool Awesome cable management
You sir have a heart of gold when I saw that you upgraded the PSU with such humility I subscribed like lightning fast ;))

Wow, that was so satisfying, now I'm motivated to clean my pc. Gonna see 15years of dust build up.
idk why but i just love seeing pink cases lmao. so obscure to see from such a male heavy community (diy pc stuff) til maybe mid 2010s.

My mom comes from the 1970's and she played all games back then.
But the black is way more beautiful xD, well never liked pink any way, specially on Electronics
Yes! My favorite color is personally blue but I like pink on my gaming stuff when I can cause it makes me happy!
I want pink and/or purple gaming stuff 🤩
Looking into saving for a custom keyboard
LOVE THIS!!
Very generous to give free parts like that. She better be grateful
14:19 The GPU sagging......
this is what i came to the comments for smh its killing me
I'll never understand this trend now of making the cables go down, like, there's already sagging happening, and instead of helping reduce it by making the cables go up you worsen it? For what? A bit of aesthetics? Which is arguable since i don't really like how it looks.
This is the way!
It’s a thick boyyyy
@@Adam-tt7kx Hobeslty, I think it has as much to do with old boards as it does cable orientation. On my past build, my MSI 1070 (very similar to the one in video) had sag issues. On the new build, my Gigabyte 3070 has literally no visible sag despite being WAY chunkier
Nice to see something different rather than constant CPU and GPU builds with components that you can’t buy.
I cleaned our family pc a while back and it had 14 years' worth of caked-on dust inside. I HAD to open the power supply to clean it. I didn't blast it with an air compressor bc here in the south it's far too humid outside so I did it the hard way. First, I vacuumed the majority of the surface dust, then I went in with tweezers and pulled dust out of the nooks and crannies, super satisfying btw. Then I vacuumed again and used an ultra-soft car detailing brush made for delicate surfaces to get the remaining I still couldn't reach with the tweezers. After removing all the dust, I used a kid's toothbrush (bc it has super soft bristles) and lots of q-tips with isopropyl alcohol to clean all the dust residue. The PSU def took the longest to clean but was very satisfying to do. After cleaning and reassembling everything else, the computer now works perfectly!
I know that this video was posted a while back and that someone might have put this in the comments already so please don't burn me, but the first thing I thought when he gave the second upgrade for free was. "Upgrades people, upgrades" fron the movie robots, a classic.
I would've love to see her reaction!
She was probably sooo happy ~
Dude truly amazing. Not only did you do a awesome job cleaning it you also have her decent upgrades.
Absolutely awesome, I wish I lived in Orlando 🤣🤣🤣
Great work! Keep it up man!!
Man that was really good!!
