CEX seems to be pretty hit or miss, for used electronics. Is it better than Ebay in that regard? (I'm in America, so it doesn't really matter to me, I'm just curious.)
Ya but the average temp of the Gpu was around 98c:) love to see you clean and repaste the Gpu and maybe undervolt it even and see how it does. Another great vid, thanks for all the brilliant content.
Wew that cpu voltage seems pretty high, if you can set it manually put it at around 1.28 - 1.35v instead or update the bios too bring it down. As a too high voltage there will eventually kill the memory controller in the cpu.
Wow £365 for that rig is not bad at all! I also really like that case. Something about the handle takes me back to the days when I had a Thermaltake Level 10. I really miss it. Speaking of the Level 10, I would LOVE if you came across it one day and did a build in it. To this day one of my favorite cases ever.
WOW! A level 10. I cant mind exactly but it must have been 2010 or 2011 when I had a level 10 and it lasted until I quit WoW in 2016/17. That is a serious throw back to custom builds. Props for that memory 👊
8:11 dont repaste it. (well, you can, but it is not recommended) First, there is no "paste" to repaste. The 5700 (XT) reference coolers use a graphite pad. This pad gets destroyed when you open the card and can not be reused. Since this pad has some thickness a repaste would actually not work. You would also need to add washers to the back to increase the mounting pressure back to normal. But with that you increase the pressure the thermal pads put on the VRAM. This should be fine, but you never know. A simple cleaning with pressured air will do the job just fine. (remember to hold the fan so it wont rotate on its own) The big advantage of this graphite pad is, that is has nearly no loss is function over time like thermal paste. Since it cant dry out, it will last 10+ years before a replacement would be recommended. Fun fact: That was not the reason AMD chose the graphite pad tho. They used it to make up for the not really flat vapor chamber they use on these cards. greetings, some random materials science engineer on the internet that likes thermodynamics and computer hardware
Wow thats interesting I didn't know they used such a method on these, only had experience with custom cards. Thanks for the info could come in handy. That's why I love this hobby always learn something new😁👍
I was desperate for a Radeon 7 but couldn't justify the price (or find one) when I ended up buying a 5700xt. I still want one now but can't bring myself to pay 250+ for a wall decoration
the radeon 7 is slightly better but the radeon 7 is not worth it. just buy rx 6700xt.. unless you need the speedy vram, then it can blow the 30 series in some workstation based tasks.
@@laxminarayananks396 I'm still probably gonna buy one but I'll wait until I can grab a faulty one as it's just going on some ridiculous wall display I've been doing for my office.
439$ for a rx5700xt and ryzen 5 3600x is more than just a dream, it just only 8gbram but you can upgrade to 16gb without anything worry about and you can also upgrade to 5000 series if necessary
You said in the video that one could probably do better for the price and a number of commenters are agreeing, but it seemed like a great deal to me. I'd love to see a video soon showing how you'd put together a better machine for the same price, that'd be amazing! I could see it being done just thinking of the GPU, and motherboard combo but when you start adding storage, a case and a PSU it seems like a tall order to me :)
Sold ebay listing puts it at about £295-£375 A320m £30-50, r5 3600 £50-60, ddr4 8gb £20, psu £30-40, rx 5700xt £150-200... £5 for a wraith cpu cooler £10 for a cheap case off Facebook marketplace, usually with atleast one fan, plus you can easily get a cpu, mobo & ram combo for even cheaper every so often so you could in fact beat this price easily with some patience
@@addychikky all CEX electronics (PC components, PCs, consoles, phones etc) come with a 24 month warranty. That's longer than most warranties would be for PCs and equipment new.
The price is just right I think.... I remember buying my 3500X for $141(converted) on dec. 2020 so yeah ... honestly that rig you bought is worth keeping as a back up or whatever you'd want to do with it.
I STRONGLY recommend undervolting if you're gonna tinker with this build, especially to reduce noise. I can cut down noise hugely and also boost performance by dropping to around 1v, give or take, but your mileage may vary!
@@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE I'm talking about undervolting the GPU :). It would massively reduce noise and thermals for the blower cooler, plus performance will increase a bit too, usually.

That is a stock heatsink. AMD has been selling that exact model for at least 12, and prior tweaked versions for up to 17-18 years. Source: I have a buttload of them ripped out of systems those age ranges, same fin pattern and all.
@@rainbowbunchie8237 the best box cooler. Is stil de heatpipes one from the old amd 64x2 serie or the optron from that time I have test that with new box cooler prisma with heatpipes from the Ryzen. Both make about the same sound on max rpm. But the temps are lower on the old box cooler And that is not strange. The old box cooler had 125watt tdp. And the new one had a 105watt tdp. So for a small cooler with a small case and you have a good option if you have the old box cooler. It still fit even on a new amd motherboard for Ryzen 7000 serie. Good thing that clip systeem.
Not sure if one of my friends got scammed off of one in terms of price, however he bought the same looking PC but with a R5 3600, 16gb ddr4 3200mhz ram 2x8gb sticks, gtx 1650 super and a 512gb ssd with a 1080p wide monitor for £650
If you factor in a build fee of like 100£ its expectable but on the higher end, although now you could get way better especially if you build your own, I built a pc with a b550, 1tbnmve, 650w gold psu, 16gb ddr4 3600, ryzen 5600x, mouse, mat, keyboard, rx6600, and a airflow matx case, for around £650, no monitor tho
Yeah, thats a giant scam. My own gaming laptop with a gtx 1650 g6 and i5 10300h with 120hz panel, 16gb of ram with 256gb + 2tb hdd cost less than half that.
I have literally the same system I picked up of the Facebook marketplace for £180 although mine came with the GTX 1650 Super that I sold for £120 and upgraded to an Asus ROG Strix RX 5700 XT from CEX for £220. Also changed the CPU heatsink out for the AMD Wraith, fitted 16gb dual channel memory and fitted Noctua fans from intake and exhaust because airflow in case isn't great. about £360 all in and for the money I'm extremely happy with it. Also repasted the GPU and did the nylon washer fix for the heatsink and temps are good.
1. You're outside! You, sir, are brave. 2. RDR2: they sell drugs right by the Sheriff's office 3. I don't think I'd upgrade anything...except maybe add some more SSD storage. I think you got a pretty great deal.
@@RandomGaminginHD very nice find tbh. Especially with it being from CeX. They can be all over the place with pricing on things... looking at you old unboxed Pokémon games
I have the same case, just a note about the rear fan, I had a few Noctua fans in the past and I had a lot of left over extensions. One says silent , I tried using it with that stock fan in this case and it is now silent! If you happen to have one to, try it!
Never bought a full system from CEX but plenty of components and never had an issue - I do kind of feel sorry for the sellers though, clearly they could get far more on ebay but needed some fast cash
Funny, I just had a similar ROG gaming PC here yesterday for some overhaul, w. a R5 3600, GTX 1650 & 16 GB RAM. Same super annoying case exhaust fan. When you set it to manual and turn off the fan, it will only come on when the case temp exceeds 60 degrees (which it never does really). Though with a 5700XT it's best to replace the fan indeed.
Dude you bought the world. Everyday you buy New PC. If you were to collect rather than buying this much old tech you could ve bought a house let alone craziest sickest and newest PC.
Up until a week ago, I used to have a Reference 5700xt, ever since release. The second best thing, that happend to it, in terms of noise and heat, was to change the Graphite pad to thermal Paste. The best change was to undervolt it to ~850-870mv. I hated the Card with a passion, constant Driver crashes and unconsistent Performance. Also the Noise drove me Mad. It was like sitting next to a blowdryer! I never regreted a purchase so much. Whilst In the US and apparently in the UK you could sell it for a high price and practicaly exchange it for a 6700xt, here in centeral Europe this sadly did not happen. But in the end, I managed to find a 3070ti for ~400$ whitch is nice.
I bought a £1000 custom build from CEX with a 12700k, TUF gaming OC RTX 3080, Corssair RGB 32GB DDR4 3600Hmz with a Corsair - iCUE 5000X case and corsair 240mm h100i elite capellix and a Z690 TUF Atx mobo. It was new, i peeled the plastic of the case and the usb and GPU ports still had the plastic covers on, was a custom build from Stormgate as it has the sticker on the case. I had to go and pick it up by train but it was worth it!!!
OEM motherboards can be a real pain specially at HP or DELL i was really suprised that this one really looked great from the layout had a HP OEM motherboard which had custom size and only supported G series or up to 65W which limited it at end to a 5700G that was really annoying =/ specially cause the PC to this motherboard had a 3070 in it
CEX is my go to for pc parts. I traded in my 1070 and 970 and got a 3090 for 500 after the trade in. Good way to get rid of old hardware and get new parts with 2 year warranty
The fact that someone used this device for 3 years with single channel ram is just sad, to not know that for as little as 18$ you can vastly improve the performance of the device.
By any chances, did you have the dimensions of the case ? If yes i'm wondering if you can switch the default cooler for a better one. I have the same PC i've just small differences : First i've 4 DDR4 slots (Also came with 1 single stick that i've changed later) Second got a 1650 Super, 3 512Gb NVMe SSD and 4 my rear fan seems to have a weird behavior like he don't run like he should only when the CPU temp hit the 75° . . . Unless to say, it' still a good PC for those who can't have custom one
About the 5700xt price being higher than the 6700xt during the GPU shortage. I did exactly what you said and sold my 5600xt for around 200-300€ more than what I bought my current 6700 XT for. I got lucky with the 6700xt though and managed to get a new one that cheap at the time but I could've easily gotten an upgraded card for free as well l.
Team Red really did good with this build. But realistically the only thing I'd change is that Single Stick of RAM configuration. Other than that, this is a very solid AMD build from Asus, and not a bad price to performance either.
The custom OEM motherboards in prebuilds won't always have the bios updates that standalone motherboards would have that adds support for new CPUs so it might not support a 5000 series Ryzen even though the chipset technically could.
A few years back when i was waiting on memory to arrive from NewEgg, I gamed on a single 4GB stick of ram and it was surprisingly good, I expected half my games to not even load at all but they did albeit slower than normal and once they got past the initial load most of them played quite smoothly with only a few having some occasional frame drops. The drops were annoying but didn't make it impossible to play the games especially considering i didn't expect the game to run in the first place. Rig was an Asus Maximus III Extreme P55 board with an Intel Core i7-875k and for graphics I had the true jet engine simulator the AMD Radeon R9 290 reference.
Well i see, that you have the same problem as me. I also want always to keep graphic cards etc, but have to resell them :D Not that bad for the price , but these single channel RAM are such a nightmare..
My German friend has this PC with a 3070 and a ryzen 5 5600 and its a hot box. The mobo is also very poor and it came with the same cpu cooler and both are terrible on thermals and I hear his fans constantly when in discord with him. I feel PCs like this are a good example of why you should build your own or at least do your home work before just trusting it'll be good because it's a strix.
When a PC is working harder, surely the fans should ramp up anyway? When working less, the fans then ramping down. What is very disappointing but not a surprise with a pre-build is only having the two ram slots.
I like cex for GPUs as you never know what your going to get. I spent 300 on a titan XP(2017) (tiny bit better than a 1080ti) so I thought it was a good deal. It turns up and to my surprise they sent me the starwars edition with display case and even the stickers! Slammed it in an old 8700 rig so 1400p/ 4k now a worry :)
My build uses similar parts but from different manufacturers... also not prebuilt and dual channel 16 gigs. 5700xt, x570, zen 5 3600, m.2+ HDD. Runs everything I want it and runs well too!
I still have an older RoG PC51 (6700k, GTX1070 16gb Ram) which is hopefully going into retirement soon, when it gets warm it sounds like a Harrier taking off.
Ridiculous value! Add another 8gb of RAM and it will last another 5 years! I am looking for a something similar to convince a mate to join PC master race!
£365 is an amazing deal for this pc! Just upgrade the ram to 16 or 32 for 100 pounds and you got a capable gaming pc that can run anything for less than 500! That's honestly an amazing price for the specs that it has.

So for a small cooler with a small case and you have a good option if you have the old box cooler.
It still fit even on a new amd motherboard for Ryzen 7000 serie.
Good thing that clip systeem.
@@dyslectische Indeed, I love that they've had the same mount for about 20 years now. I never have to look for a cooler.
Not sure if one of my friends got scammed off of one in terms of price, however he bought the same looking PC but with a R5 3600, 16gb ddr4 3200mhz ram 2x8gb sticks, gtx 1650 super and a 512gb ssd with a 1080p wide monitor for £650
If you factor in a build fee of like 100£ its expectable but on the higher end, although now you could get way better especially if you build your own,
I built a pc with a b550, 1tbnmve, 650w gold psu, 16gb ddr4 3600, ryzen 5600x, mouse, mat, keyboard, rx6600, and a airflow matx case, for around £650, no monitor tho
Yeah, thats a giant scam. My own gaming laptop with a gtx 1650 g6 and i5 10300h with 120hz panel, 16gb of ram with 256gb + 2tb hdd cost less than half that.
53C in bios is pretty high, some fresh thermal paste and undervolting would do the chip a lot of good
THANK YOU for including the € prices I appreciate it very much 🙏🏽
damn 1000 left and u hit the half million!!! love your videos :))
A real bargain. I really wish I could pick up bargains like this at my local CEX but it's possible to park anywhere near it.
Congrats on 500k
I think that GPU has a pad and not paste. I would really like to see you work on that card.
I have literally the same system I picked up of the Facebook marketplace for £180 although mine came with the GTX 1650 Super that I sold for £120 and upgraded to an Asus ROG Strix RX 5700 XT from CEX for £220. Also changed the CPU heatsink out for the AMD Wraith, fitted 16gb dual channel memory and fitted Noctua fans from intake and exhaust because airflow in case isn't great. about £360 all in and for the money I'm extremely happy with it. Also repasted the GPU and did the nylon washer fix for the heatsink and temps are good.
1. You're outside! You, sir, are brave.
2. RDR2: they sell drugs right by the Sheriff's office
3. I don't think I'd upgrade anything...except maybe add some more SSD storage. I think you got a pretty great deal.
oh boy...I forgot abut that single stick of 8...definitely need another stick like it.
The bundled in VGA cable brought a smile to my face.
Being outside makes me miss spring summer and even autumn. Here it's like winter for 4 months.
Yeah been cold for too long
that's actually not a bad price at all tbh. I would of picked that up in a heart beat for a second rig
Yeah a pretty good find I think
@@RandomGaminginHD very nice find tbh. Especially with it being from CeX. They can be all over the place with pricing on things... looking at you old unboxed Pokémon games
@El Cactuar who?
@El Cactuar asked?
Lads, we finally found him. The mythical man who likes Windows 11 and installs it willingly.
THAT JACKET THO
😁
makes him look like a farmer lol

I sold a 5700xt for £280 just before Christmas so it a good deal you got yourself there.
I have the same case, just a note about the rear fan, I had a few Noctua fans in the past and I had a lot of left over extensions. One says silent , I tried using it with that stock fan in this case and it is now silent! If you happen to have one to, try it!
Never bought a full system from CEX but plenty of components and never had an issue - I do kind of feel sorry for the sellers though, clearly they could get far more on ebay but needed some fast cash
Funny, I just had a similar ROG gaming PC here yesterday for some overhaul, w. a R5 3600, GTX 1650 & 16 GB RAM. Same super annoying case exhaust fan. When you set it to manual and turn off the fan, it will only come on when the case temp exceeds 60 degrees (which it never does really). Though with a 5700XT it's best to replace the fan indeed.
Dude you bought the world. Everyday you buy New PC. If you were to collect rather than buying this much old tech you could ve bought a house let alone craziest sickest and newest PC.
Laying such a mint pc case on the pebbles at 1:30 was a very bad idea. Great machine though.
Good to see that you dared to go outside again, braving the impending danger of earthworms.
Up until a week ago, I used to have a Reference 5700xt, ever since release. The second best thing, that happend to it, in terms of noise and heat, was to change the Graphite pad to thermal Paste.
The best change was to undervolt it to ~850-870mv.
I hated the Card with a passion, constant Driver crashes and unconsistent Performance. Also the Noise drove me Mad. It was like sitting next to a blowdryer!
I never regreted a purchase so much. Whilst In the US and apparently in the UK you could sell it for a high price and practicaly exchange it for a 6700xt, here in centeral Europe this sadly did not happen.
But in the end, I managed to find a 3070ti for ~400$ whitch is nice.
I bought a £1000 custom build from CEX with a 12700k, TUF gaming OC RTX 3080, Corssair RGB 32GB DDR4 3600Hmz with a Corsair - iCUE 5000X case and corsair 240mm h100i elite capellix and a Z690 TUF Atx mobo. It was new, i peeled the plastic of the case and the usb and GPU ports still had the plastic covers on, was a custom build from Stormgate as it has the sticker on the case. I had to go and pick it up by train but it was worth it!!!
OEM motherboards can be a real pain specially at HP or DELL i was really suprised that this one really looked great from the layout had a HP OEM motherboard which had custom size and only supported G series or up to 65W which limited it at end to a 5700G that was really annoying =/ specially cause the PC to this motherboard had a 3070 in it
CEX is my go to for pc parts. I traded in my 1070 and 970 and got a 3090 for 500 after the trade in. Good way to get rid of old hardware and get new parts with 2 year warranty
The fact that someone used this device for 3 years with single channel ram is just sad, to not know that for as little as 18$ you can vastly improve the performance of the device.
By any chances, did you have the dimensions of the case ? If yes i'm wondering if you can switch the default cooler for a better one.
I have the same PC i've just small differences : First i've 4 DDR4 slots (Also came with 1 single stick that i've changed later) Second got a 1650 Super, 3 512Gb NVMe SSD and 4 my rear fan seems to have a weird behavior like he don't run like he should only when the CPU temp hit the 75° . . .
Unless to say, it' still a good PC for those who can't have custom one
Solid rig, I might have to start keeping an eye on CEX!
I always watch your videos at 2x speed and your commentary 0:00 - 0:10 reminded me of Jeremy Clarkson😂.
😂
The shock the wires are tidy! Nice.
CPU Core voltage seems a bit high, no?
Dual channel addition and it's all good
Love the country jacket! Decent spec PC for the price - easily £500 with another 8gb stick of RAM.
About the 5700xt price being higher than the 6700xt during the GPU shortage. I did exactly what you said and sold my 5600xt for around 200-300€ more than what I bought my current 6700 XT for. I got lucky with the 6700xt though and managed to get a new one that cheap at the time but I could've easily gotten an upgraded card for free as well l.
Seeing the case laying rocks got me
7:53 All this machine needs is a 5800X3D and another 8GB stick. Then you can pretty much drop in ANY GPU and get the full performance out of it
Team Red really did good with this build. But realistically the only thing I'd change is that Single Stick of RAM configuration. Other than that, this is a very solid AMD build from Asus, and not a bad price to performance either.
What a beautiful 5700XT. Reference too. That's worth keeping.
CEX is a fucking Godsend for gamers
The custom OEM motherboards in prebuilds won't always have the bios updates that standalone motherboards would have that adds support for new CPUs so it might not support a 5000 series Ryzen even though the chipset technically could.
A few years back when i was waiting on memory to arrive from NewEgg, I gamed on a single 4GB stick of ram and it was surprisingly good, I expected half my games to not even load at all but they did albeit slower than normal and once they got past the initial load most of them played quite smoothly with only a few having some occasional frame drops. The drops were annoying but didn't make it impossible to play the games especially considering i didn't expect the game to run in the first place. Rig was an Asus Maximus III Extreme P55 board with an Intel Core i7-875k and for graphics I had the true jet engine simulator the AMD Radeon R9 290 reference.
Well i see, that you have the same problem as me.
I also want always to keep graphic cards etc, but have to resell them :D
Not that bad for the price , but these single channel RAM are such a nightmare..
Now that is an amazing deal. Obviously put another 8gb stick in there but apart from that this is a very good deal for the parts inside
My German friend has this PC with a 3070 and a ryzen 5 5600 and its a hot box. The mobo is also very poor and it came with the same cpu cooler and both are terrible on thermals and I hear his fans constantly when in discord with him. I feel PCs like this are a good example of why you should build your own or at least do your home work before just trusting it'll be good because it's a strix.
When a PC is working harder, surely the fans should ramp up anyway? When working less, the fans then ramping down. What is very disappointing but not a surprise with a pre-build is only having the two ram slots.
I like cex for GPUs as you never know what your going to get. I spent 300 on a titan XP(2017) (tiny bit better than a 1080ti) so I thought it was a good deal. It turns up and to my surprise they sent me the starwars edition with display case and even the stickers! Slammed it in an old 8700 rig so 1400p/ 4k now a worry :)
I thought you weren't going to bring PCs out into the garden after the worm incident! 😅
Awesome PC. Did it come with a 24-month Warranty?
My build uses similar parts but from different manufacturers... also not prebuilt and dual channel 16 gigs. 5700xt, x570, zen 5 3600, m.2+ HDD. Runs everything I want it and runs well too!
Bargain! Nice find and good video. Does the 5700xt run alright on a 500w psu?
I too sometimes wear a (blue) jacket to set my eyes off. Very nice.
I still have an older RoG PC51 (6700k, GTX1070 16gb Ram) which is hopefully going into retirement soon, when it gets warm it sounds like a Harrier taking off.
Turns out we have this shop on my side of the North Sea as well. I bought a I5 7400 for like €30,-.
I would love to see how this runs SteamOS! Could be a decent living room PC Gaming machine.
Ridiculous value! Add another 8gb of RAM and it will last another 5 years! I am looking for a something similar to convince a mate to join PC master race!
Now you should build a probably all used parts pc for that price and compare it to the pre built
I noticed your GPU temp at COD:MW is at 91C,
is your GPU ok?
Funny how it has the same amount of RAM and VRAM. Great find anyway!
I love CEX, there are some great deals to be had if you do your homework.
£365 is an amazing deal for this pc! Just upgrade the ram to 16 or 32 for 100 pounds and you got a capable gaming pc that can run anything for less than 500! That's honestly an amazing price for the specs that it has.
@El Cactuar 😐👍
looking good today lad
