    I also am not an electronics expert (ironic, I know) but that's why we have test/electrical engineers. They tell me which part let out the magic smoke and my job is to figure out how the manufacturing process went awry and hopefully prevent it from happening again.

      People like to dump on old hardware but realistically a 580 8GB is good enough for even most new games at medium settings 1080p 60hz. Super enjoyable experience for probably 99% of people.
      We bleeding edge enthusiasts are really just a very vocal minority when it comes to the overall customer base I would think. Hell my last 2 upgrades have netted me zero real world performance. I'd still be getting the same 144 FPS at 1440p in all the games I actually play on my old 7700K/1080Ti build, which I upgraded to a 9900K/2080Ti, which I upgraded to a 10900K/3080.

    You should make a Fix or Flop shelf/cabinet for the background of all the bad components that you have replaced. Of course name it somewhere "Fix or Flop". It would look pretty awesome IMO in the background when you make videos/stream. Unless you already threw away bunch of those components. It was just a thought and would show that you've helped tons of people with their PCs. I wish people didn't buy pre-bulits but built their rigs themselves. They would gain lots of knowledge and would be able to troubleshoot themselves, would save a good chunk of $$$ and would be able to customize their rigs to whatever they desire. It's much easier than it looks for us builders with 10 or more years of experience... although I was already overclocking, modding and troubleshooting with my first build back in the day. It's much easier now "with decent mobos" it will throw you a code or at very least show you tiny LED light to which component is bad or has some kind of issues. I wish, we had those things back in the day.

      I was thinking exactly the same when I saw that psu. I've had many psu's over the years and the worst one was Thermaltake.
      It caused some random crashes and for some reason that psu internally shorted a few times and caused system to power off. I had to insulate the psu case cover myself to keep using it as I was still saving for a new one. Luckily it didn't break anything else with it...
      I still have Enermax psu that I bought after that and it still works fine in my home server even though it's around 10 years old and it has been used heavily over the years.

    • @tiikerihai
      @tiikerihai 2 года назад

      Not surprised, that is a bad PSU and it wasn't good when it was brand new either. It's one of those "slap big wattage number on it, cut lots of corners on the components and design, then sell to unsuspecting people for really cheap" models that were quite popular a while back. At least it's not one of the PSUs that completely removes all the filtering circuits to cut costs and claims 600W out of a 250W unit, but I doubt that makes you feel any better when it bricks. Well maybe it does, at least it doesn't look like this one bricks the entire rest of your PC with it.

    Really enjoy all of your series, but I especially enjoy the FoF. I started building, fixing up and sorting PCs and laptops during lockdown as a hobby, and 12 months later I've now sorted over 240 PCs. Building gaming PCs has always been the best part, and more recently I've found buying up older or broken systems to be the best option for satisfying my hobby. I love rejuvenating an older, poorly balanced or broken system (new case makes a massive difference) and watching your FoF is exactly the kind of stuff that gives me ideas as to what to look at.
    Keep up the great work, fantastic content :)

    Tips :
    1. If you can hear a long tiiiiiiiiiiiiiii from your PSU. There is a leak in one of the caps.
    2. If you can smell something fried it's most likely the MOSFETs under the heatsink.
    3. You can also get 24v, 8.7v, 7v, 21.7v,19v from your PSU.
