Instead of ATI Rage, they sold you ATI Roach.
Rage?? Your age is showing
@@SomeAngryGuy1997 I didn't even know that name existed. They should make another card named rage. People would love that now lol
@@ArtisChronicles Definitely 😁
This speaks volumes about the seller. I shudder to think of what kind of environment do they live in.
Sometimes you can live in a pristine environment cleaned by a germaphobe with OCD and still get them. The live underground. The key is keeping them there.
Ive saddly seen way worse
Roaches doesn’t mean dirty bro
@@slaydog5102 Yeah, they do.
@@slaydog5102Yes it does, sounds to me you speak from experience so that's unfortunate you need to cope but yes roaches literally have dirt on them wtf are you takin bout
They're just happy that you're outside.
They're asking you questions about the computer.The birds are
I'll add another layer to the infestation issue. As a school technologist, I see all sorts of things, but the worst thing I've seen is a Chromebook that was infested with bed bugs! Of course, I didn't know it until I opened the bottom cover. They ran everywhere coming out of that thing. I did my best to put it in a bag and seal it up, but some escaped to who knows where. Needless to say, that unit was never repaired.
Chromebook ... Burn it ... UNCLEAN! 😂😂😂
Lovely. Customer must spend all of their time in their manky bed with the laptop sitting on the bed itself.
Man. Roaches are bad enough. Bed bugs are harder to get rid of and they bite. They bite a LOT. I had them once and now I get anxiety just thinking about it.
🤮Wow! Bro bought a Beard Nest Computer!
I've only had system come in that had dead cockroaches, never live. But I did get in a system with a bed bug infestation. I put the damn thing in a bag and notified the client.
🙂 Bed Bugs u say, thats interesting
@@MrSamadolfoyup... Bed bugs are attracted to anything that emanates heat.
@@XWolf0f0dinX they're also attracted to carbon dioxide, why those traps using Alka Seltzer actually work.
Man, they put thermal paste that could been used for at least 15 applications
Better too much than too little. Especially for any direct die application as opposed to a cpu heat spreader.
"The PC's infected with Killer Cockroaches! RUN!" 😸
🤣🤣🤣
My buddy used to buy old electronics from yard sales and swap meets and he would always tent and bug bomb before he would bring it in the shop to tear it down.
Haha the birds in the background are prolly waiting for those roaches. To them it’s a excellent source of protein 😅😂
That is one bird making all the racket. You are hearing a Mockingbird.
Still worth it...Just don't bring that stuff in your house. I can see an opportunity.. PC flipping and bug cleaning services as a business. 🤣
Loved the birds in the background.
As far a I can see, your one and only mistake was telling your wife at all.
FACTS 😏
Telling "her" he was scared of roaches and acting like a little girl.
As soon as you said roach I thought... well its time to burn the house down. Same reaction I have when I see a spider. :)
I've had this same crap happen. Bought a system, got it home, and as soon as I open it I start seeing roaches. Thankfully I got it out of the house and didn't have any issues. I definitely pop open every system for a check after that scare.
If this ever happens to you.. with anything (computer, clothes, etc)
1) buy large black trash bags (like "raking leaves" size bags), be sure they're black
2) stuff everything into them, tie them tight so nothing can escape
3) set them out under the sun for like a week to cook.. or if hot in your garage during summer put them there to bake
4) after stuffing the trashbags, go in and wash your clothes and take a shower. If there's roaches, chance are there might be bed bugs, too.
The sun / heat will cook the shit out of everything in the black bag. If it's clothing, etc, then pull it out and immediately wash it, preferably with bleach if possible. (CAnt' bleach everything).
For electronics, pull it apart and clean it out. If you see ANYTHING still moving, shove it back into black trashbags and cook it for another week.
Wife and I use this trick when coming back from vacations just in case bed bugs come back with us. Shove our whole luggage inside black trash bags and just let it bake for a week.
I've done it to PC's before, too... that I picked up near dumpsters that had "questionable" bedding chucked out next to it.
Don't leave that stuff sitting out open near your house. Seal it up and let it cook.
After you got the board out, Idve probably dipped the whole assembly in alcohol (I'm talking completely submerged all the way to the top of the cpu cooler). Let it set for 5 minutes, pull it out, let it air dry for a few days before messing with it.
With this luck, I'd make a plexiglass crate for picking up computer parts and use that to get rid of any surprises. This channel already inspired me to pick up a dusty rx5700 for twenty dollars, and I ordered a hot air station and an LCR meter among other soldering tools to find its issue. Who knows what I can run into down the line!
@2:04 THATS HOW THE TABS BREAK ON GPU'S... PC BUILDERS TAKE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This dude literally just yanked the GPU / ripped the GPU out of there like it was nothing 😂😂😂 I can do this with mine only cuz my motherboard lock tab broke on the actual PCI Express slot itself which is no big deal...
BRO....what did i just watch...And it wasnt even as if it was like a easy pull....Dude was literally yanking on that bitch... Like the locking tab was just a second thought.... Hey guys...here we have a Radeon yadda yadda yadda.... Errrr.... actually guys we did have a Radeon Gpu... But i just sheared half the PCB and gold pins off by yanking on that bitch at an angle..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣... Fair do's if its an outdated old redundant card but in my eyes that dont matter, it is still a working GPU that someone may be able to use for a testbench, old reliable gpus man, sometimes worth there weight in gold, not literally tho guys, Just for a picture tester... A back up card if you like..... And his last words were i'll try to save the video card and motherboard.... Errrmmmm Guys...does anybody know why this Gpu may not be working....🤣🤣.
One very eye-catching title on this video! 💀
Had roaches infested computers few times, or just simply crazy dirty ones (cobwebs and dirt inside) never really cared to much, just had to kill or get rid of roaches to prevent home infestation. Although I grew up at times when roaches were almost everywhere.
I grew up in an old building, where my mother still lives, and that building has roach infestation.
put the board in the sink clean it with warm water and a paint brush let it dry then try it. ive done this before with a cochroach shit coverd board i regreted buying. but it worked after it
hope all gets better man
I am glad to see you took the hazard advice of blowing the PC outside before carrying it inside the garage. Imaging if you had to go thru this inside the garage... I could have been much worst is what I am trying to say. And buy something nice for the wife 😁
We need a roach channel pic. New mascot in the making.
Wow. Perhaps the most unique and funny (sorry) tech video I've seen in awhile.
Very real, entertaining, instructive, and terrifying...all at the same time.
Don't think LinusTechTips or JayzTwoCents have come close to this one.
they don't mess with the junk i find lol...
I use a large cardboard box to disassemble suspect machines, AFTER having said machine kept overnight in a sealed plastic bag outside. After all that a leafblower ensures no critters before contained disassembly, PS4's seem extra likely to house vermin as opposed to most P.C.'s for whatever reason in my experiences.
😊 yes i mentioned that also to be careful picking up consoles and appliances including Microwaves Stoves Fridges
When I use to work in PC repair for a decade, had someone bring in a desktop that they left inside a house after it was bombed for roaches. Not sure what in their right mind thought we would try and fix it.
Unrelated but the worst desktop brought into our shop was a brand new build where the customer sprayed WD-40 in all sockets before inserting parts. (CPU, GPU, RAM)
Seeing their reaction after telling them everything toast and good luck returning them, comical to say the least.
That's the most literal computer debug I've ever seen 🤔
You can try to flash the UEFI/BIOS using a CH341A adapter. I saved a few motherboards by flashing the memory chip on the motherboard.
Nothing will test the patience and tolerance of the missus quite like bringing a roach-infested PC into the house and working on it. 😆 They love the warmth, so it can happen with game consoles as well. I've also had PCs infested with ants.
I recall watching a video of someone who had some kind of bug infestation in a vehicle. What they did was get a fairly high output Ozone Generator in the vehicle, roll up the windows and turn it on--basically they killed the bugs & sanitized the inside of the vehicle with gaseous bleach (O3) in one fell swoop!!! This method could be used for gassing a PC by placing it in a large plastic bag and piping the Ozone gas into it to kill & sanitize... also neutralizes all smells & scents. Ozone also neutralizes skunkweed--I had to use it on a rental car...took about 45 minutes or so to do the job.
Brake Cleaner or Electrical Cleaner kills bugs DEAD!
If they were swapping CPUs, they knew about the roaches. Could have been worse though, bedbugs. I had one, bought at a flea market, that had BBs in it. I didn't know until I got it home. Bad move. 3 months later and a lot of money we finally got rid of them. That happened about 3 years ago. Now, nothing goes in the truck or car, until I check it as much as possible. I took a pretty big loss on that system.
That's horrible.
@@exzld yes it was
Yeah bed bugs are nasty 🤢. I'd rather have roaches.
If they were swapping CPUs, they also knew the system was non-functional.
always look inside a used pc before taking it in your house
I've had this issue with used and Ewaste PCs before. After the first time, I pick up my truck which is normally used for camping and fishing and leave it in the drive way with the truck covered and a few roach motels inside. One in the case itself and another 3 in the cabin. Never had a roach move inside the home since.
This happened to me once. Honestly I knew what I was getting into from the trashy photos, but it was worth a lot in parts. I double bagged it. Then I wasn't sure wtf to do to kill the roaches. I've ruined plastics with bug spray before, so I didn't want to do that. The answer hit me on the way home in my hot car while waiting for the AC to cool it down. I just left it in the car and let the heat kill them. When I opened it up, they were all dead. So, I guess thats one way to do it, if this happens again.
I used to find ones in winter too where I would let the freezing cold kill them outside overnight too. Frozen roachsicles! 🤢🤮😆 Both methods in both seasons works pretty well. 👍👍
@@arthurmann578 i guess we're f'ed in fall and spring lol. It was pretty gross cleaning it up, but overall easy money. Would do it again but not for cheap parts. Gotta be at least a few hundo in it.
@@ItIsNot1984 Definitely! The absolute grossness has to be worth it. 👍👍
Sounds like something a gigolo would say about some of his female "clients." 😂😂😂😅
Should have made a little tent and fumigate it for a couple of days
My buddy used to buy old and scrap electrics for parts and he did that everytime he got a big haul.
only way to really deal with this sort of thing is toss it, or dump some borax powder in a bag or air tight bin large enough to hold whatever, put the thing in there, and seal it for 2-3 months.
you can use bug bombs for clothes and such, and just seal it for a month, but that stuff will damage plastics in electronics.
With a PC like this I put it in a plastic bag, take some bug spray and spray it in and close the bag up and leave it for a bit. When the big ones are all clear you need to disassemble the machine and clean it part by part, clearing out the bugs as you go, this is very common place as PC's are a hot dark place to multiply. But you did it right where you took it outside to the trash cans and did your cleaning there.
Theres nothing like scoring a good deal on some used parts, its like a sore dihk, you cant beat it.
You get quite a lot of roach infested pc's on this channel and I love it. Keep up the hard work :).
I used to flip game consoles and this was something that was always a risk. I had a couple close calls, but thankfully nothing ever happened. The profit margin was good part time. I’d gather about 30 or more through the year, fix them, and sell them all on Christmas. Sold them all in two weeks and made a profit average of $60 per hour and a total of over $3,000. It paid a good amount of our Disney vacation every year. However, after years of doing it, I realized the risk is not worth it! All it takes is one time and the infestation will ruin the entire house for a long time. They just don’t ever completely go away from what I’ve heard. It takes several treatments and it’s disgusting as hell! Not worth it every one!
Ah man the way you snatched that gpu
Great content for homeoffice. Tell the roach I said hello!
I’m fortunate enough to live in the Inland Northwest, on the Wa/Id border. I’ve never seen a cockroach in the wild in my 40 years.
Roach spray needed
I worry about eggs the most. 120 F degrees of heat will kill the eggs. I once used a metal box in the middle of my backyard on a used PC left it there in the middle of August for three day then I cleaned it.
Nothing like a roach motel! You need to sing Born Free when releasing roaches into the wild!
Learned my lesson throw it In the trash somewhere else
The birds calm me down while watching
Computer bugs! Literally! LOL!
Prebuilt she really only support the generation cpu it came with. Sometimes you can get lucky and flash a custom bios that will allow you to maybe go up a generation but definitely not. Off the parts you should be able to make your money back!
Id definitely say the motherboard, cpu, ram, and gpu were salvageable as you can easily clean those parts well after out the case. If this was a Core 2 Duo era system or something I would have definitely walked away, but these parts were still worth their time to clean them.
That one in the heat sink looked like it may have been carrying eggs
good deal if the CPU and RAM
is fine.
Bro, if you need to place to sleep, I have an empty couch
I have one free bed
No one noticed the processor slot was locked when the processor came out?
Trust me bro, the seller knew. Probably a house full of smokers and people who don't throw away their food wrappers/cans/etc.
Some people are too lazy so they just live sad lives
technician here i ashure you you dont need to live nasty to get germans iv treated many multimillion dollar homes that had them and were absolutely spotless they are hitchhiker bugs they can come from your grocery store off boxes from a friend who stays the night its crazy how a person can get them even while doing everything right. now that out the way the level of infestation i would say they at least knew they had an issue
Spray heatsink fan combo with raid.
Note that motherboard, has a different pinout for the 24 pin... its not standard
On a positive note, it wasn't bedbugs
the birds are a nice touch :) its beautiful
I like hearing the birds.
$100 ? No i dont think its a bad deal. 4th Gen Ryzen CPU is extremely power efficient and therefore cool, so you`ll save on electricity, while playing all the latest games. The motherboard has 2 M.2 slots, nothing wrong with that. You probably need a better looking case, and a new PSU, and you`ll be playing Warzone at 80 FPS with a $60 GPU. I didnt look at your GPU that came with it, but i dont think the deal was bad at all.
OMG, I had the same thing happen to me but my house got infested. Had a client who I sold a computer to tell me it stopped working so I asked him to drop it off at my home. He handed it to me and I left it in the garage over night. I knew I had a problem when I went to open it and saw it also had roach poo inside. Little shits were crawling out the power supply. Shortly after i started to notice them in my kitchen and bathroom. GERMAN ROACHES! It took 3 weeks and $150 worth of roach killer to finally get rid of them. Also had to clean everything in my kitchen. Let's just say I told the client I would never work on his computers again.
I think someone used a whole year's production of thermal paste on that CPU. I've seen some bad ones over nearly 25 years, but nothing like that. I'm actually surprised it didn't over heat due to a gap with that amount.
Can highly attest to roaches loving consoles. I cleaned a silver PAL PS2 phat. Saying it was choke full of them is a understatement already.
😊 yup, i remember a few years ago a Console Repair and Update Firmware shop uploaded a video of a customers console that was full of bugs, it might be still up
Those dells top out at the r7 2700x. The ryzen 5 4500 wont work on that board. I know mine came with a r5 1400 quadcore.
I had one of those type of computer I took everything apart and cleaned it up really good I still use the case today yet I just took apart the entire case down to its metal frame
If it’s from Manhattan then buy a fogger bug spray and keep it in a closed container then go to a botanica and get a witch doctor to bless you a good luck
I’ve had a similar experience to this, I was given a xbox one s with bed bugs in it. I was not too happy to see that
i used a dell case similar to that for my VR PC build. has a erying motherboard with a i9 11980hk. tbf i like the style of the case and the fact that dell didnt use proprietary plugs
Repairing a PC on the top of a rubbish bin. Used to have to do that as a on-site warranty tech for major brands. 🤣
I'd be glad I wasn't an cable TV installer having to wire up their house, the sort on raised stilts and they have 6 little dogs that shit & pee everywhere you need to run the cable.
It's only bug doo doo!😂
Supposedly, the blower version of this card is better than the subsequent third-party versions.
I had the most disgusting computer i bought. It was in a room with multiple smokers, and it had bug running around. Blasted that thing with bug killer and 2 cans of cleaner and spent about 8 hours cleaning everything. Was worth it in the end i doubled my money.
I can't believe you destroyed his home. Buddy just tryina live in a computer
Diatomaceous Earth could be used as a barrier around your home on the outside. But you could also store the pc inside a plastic container and create a line/barrier of Diatomaceous Earth around the container. Any roaches that get out will die within days of this happening. It is a very cheap natural remedy for insect infestation. Diatomaceous Earth is also very cheap like 10$ for 5 pounds of it from walmart.
At least those roaches were the smaller kind... Usually when I see roach-infested stuff around here, it's the nastiest big brown-reddish ones (and they leave a huge mess, huge eggs, huge feces, living in families of dozens in spaces where you'd surely say that one would already be too big to fit)
If you do this long enough you're going to run into the roach situation once or twice. I keep a Glad trash bag and a can of bug spray for these ones. I pop off the side panel spray everything inside of the bag and let it sit for a day or two in the heat. Clean everything with alcohol the next day and hit it with the blow dryer. The seller did scam you but if you had been able to salvage the case and PSU you could have made the most out of the deal. I would have taken apart the PSU, cleaned and painted the case if needed, added a cheap SSD, and found a cheap CPU on eBay. Sometimes you have to make the best out of a bad deal.
When i pulled my old inspiron 5676 with the same specs apart to re-case i had to use the whole original power button section as it has some sort of security on it and wouldn’t boot without it, i wired the new case button to the original and it worked after this. This is likely your issue and since you have thrown out the case im assuming you no longer have the button which sucks. If you somehow can get the power button section back to test i reckon it will work
OEMs aren't repair friendly
Man, the things you do for youtube to get a good video 😆😁
I feel for you, man! Roaches are gross! They give me the heebee jeebees!
I have worked on a few dell's over the years and have had those issues, I found taking out the mem and cmos battery and leave it overnight, that gives the bios time to be wiped
rip your neighbors
You need to get an ultrasonic cleaner, it would be so much easier to clean those parts!
I would figure the PSU would be the nest
When I buy used electronics I put them in a sealed clear plastic bag for about a month before I open it. I never bring it in my house and I leave it in my garage. Sorry for your bad luck! 😢
dude you took the wrong approach on that video card. you blew those roaches' right at your house.
The roach poop gives out smell mostly when it's in contact with moisture-sensitive materials... That's why it's rather obvious when they're in wooden panel doors, cardboard boxes and furniture made of MDF/plywood. If you ever smell that on a PC you know there must be a complete ecosystem inside 😂
clean the video card incorrectly, because if the fan rotates, static electricity is formed, which can permanently damage the video card
I bought one like this before and it probably had 75 or more inside...It was awful, it took forever to kill all those bugs and clean things up.
you could find or build a sealable box. buy pc and it goes immediately in the box with a bug bomb , seal it up and wait a couple days.
cup of gas and a match
One serviceman removes a tarantula from a PC case, another removes cockroaches, and still another removes dead insects and a dried-out frog. I wonder what else could fit in the case. You must have had some interesting fun with that. Good luck with the next ones, I hope You don't get any surprises outside of the PC parts.
Title worked. I'm here. I can help you feel better about your situation. A few years ago (during curbside only pickup) my wife and I decided to save some money by buying a used coffee maker/grinder. No big deal we figured, I'm pretty meticulous about cleaning anyway.
Picked up the coffee maker, cleaned it all out, poured the beans attempted to make a pot. Way too much steam after the brew. Coffee didn't taste bad though.
Opened it to inspect and it was full of roaches. Thankfully all dead. But they were also in water and boiler channels. We realized we had drank roach coffee, and worse we thought it was ok.
We had never even thought about the possibility of roaches. So as much as we like deals,. anything that makes food or drink regardless of how thorough I believe I am at cleaning.. it's never second hand..
I hope this made you feel better about your PC deal.
I have a coffee maker and I can't figure out how roaches would be inside the machine
@@LPgmxDan it was a grinder/brewer so there were some electronics/mechanical space. Which is where they were.
@@Eric79-f7i oh yeah grinder would be a place for them to hide if it wasn't in a regularly cleaned place might of been sitting for awhile
@@LPgmxDan Yeah we try not to mention roach coffee around the house. It's our taboo subject lol.
@@Eric79-f7i understandable subject to not mention daily :)
Owner bricked this mobo. Owner tried to update the BIOS to support the new CPU.
A great spray is cv-80D it will kill any bug!!!!
Comes with anything used really. I always leave it in a hefty bag for 2 weeks with a bug treatment. That gives the eggs if any time to hatch, and use Diatomaceous earth if it isn't electronics. Don't use the d-earth on electronics though, learned that the hard way.
You missed something after the break cleaner: the match
