You are the best technician! Im 12 and you made me inspired to open two laptops and take the RAM from the dead laptop snd put it in the working laptop. The RAM WORKS! keep up ❤!😊
@@SirPlaysDarkSoulsALot what do you mean by barely bro. like your ram is going out for a break or what 😂. it's a ram it should be 2gigs. You can't have like 1.8gigs of ram 😂 everyone is using it, if they are broken without knowing its actual meaning
If you like to experiment - if the motherboard supports fsb 1200/1066, you can get a cheap q6600 and bsel tape mod it to run as 3.0 ghz without OC from the bios (basically making the q6600 working at 1333mt/s 333mhz fsb instead of 1066mt/s 266mhz) , or a Xeon e5450/x5450 if the motherboard support it (there is a list online somewhere). Look up both option, it is pretty interesting.
I really enjoy the videos where the old hardware comes back to life, thank you for the good content. However, I keep wondering, wouldn't Linux be a better option for some of these older machines? Sure, the gaming could become an issue but I'm sure that something like Proton would solve it. Would love to see a video utilizing Linux on a machine like this. Keep up the good work!
Not bad in my opinion, will certainly get the job done! Also, 4GB DDR2 sticks are super rare nowadays, you often only find 2GB DDR2 sticks. Though personally, if I had then, I would have gone 2x 2GB DDR2 in this build, since single channel memory is never recommended. I would have then sold the 4GB DDR2 stick to make some money back.
I really look forward to watch your videos , I've didn't missed a single one. Thanks for your efforts, I hope we can see more modded PCs made by you in the future.
I got recently Dell Optiplex GX 620 and upgraded to Pentium D, 4GB RAM, 320GB harddisk, and Radeon HD 8570, to connect modern monitors. Installed Windows 7 Professional and Office 2010. Computer works well. Radeon HD 8570 is connected to my DIY HDMI A/V reciver, because onboard AC'97 audio sucks.
Yes, Linux is good for these older computer, but I go with windows to see the limits. The Windows 10 is not that fast, It's slow for today standards but still not fully useless I can play some games on it :D

Can you old Gateway P-6860 FX 17” inch laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo CPU) upgrade to i7 Core latest generation and RTX GeForce with adding new heatsink by using different brand motherboard laptop in fit same chassis (old laptop)?
Nice buil and recovery. Who says you waste time because this PC is too old, don't know the capacity of 775 platform. A problem is the money, for less more you can buy a i5 second generation. But, if you don't have money, and have this PC for nothing, with 16€ of ssd you have a usable PC.
that is why i like to build/repair old computer also it prevent PC parts from the landfill... in our country it is to expensive to buy new computer component... like your videos
Nice build. It's a work of love. I wonder if needs a better cooler tho. Also I never saw a ssd put that way on the chasis. I saw people using the legacy floppy space instead
With my old Asus P5K LGA 775, I've been able to upgrade with an Intel Xeon X5460 with 8 GB DDR2. It's still running great. Just make sure to uninstall all the Win10 bloatwares.
last year, I used to play on this kind of old PC in my ex girlfriend's house. She didn't have a computer and I found an old E5700 with 4Gb DDR2 Ram on the street. I added an old GT730 DDR5 2Gb and an 500Gb SSD, on keybord/mouse I already had in the cave and I could play to some games like Dead Space, Call of Duty MW, GRID in 720P full option and watch RUclips, internet etc etc ... No so fast but it was OK these machines can help and can be OK for small games
Thermal paste in the socket responds a lot better to contact cleaner. Or you can just leave it there. Wasn't much. When it comes to LGA775, one should look no further than the Q6600 or the Xeon equivalent, the X3220. Do the tape mod and run it on a 1333MHz board and it benchmarks like a Q9650. This is how I ended up with an Optiplex as one of my retro gaming machines.
The socket 775 spanned so many generations. Any 775 chip would fit the board, but the board and chip set might not support it. The cooling was pretty good though, which was not always the case on 478.
It would be a nice touch to change sticker on the stock cooling :) You could place new one or some custom one or just get rid of it since all coolers are 12V anyway you do not need this sticker for anything :P
Dear Andrew, thank you for such good video. I would like to ask you that if you managad to find a solution for this motherboard's RAM issue. The issue which mobo doesnt recognize higher than 3GB RAM. It wasnt a 32 bit OS situation. The chipset was limited or something like that. Newest BIOS also didnt work for my 2x4GB RAMs.
Some old motherboard does not recognize newer ram stick which uses fewer chip on it. Example 2GB stick with chip on both sides is okay, but newer same 2GB stick with only one side chip does not work.
Yes, a waste of time for people that don't know how to build computers properly with a good and optimised Linux build. I have such a machine working as a daily driver in my workshop with a "proper" 4x3 ratio screen (1280x1024) which is great for reading PDF documents like manuals and specification sheets when I am doing electronics work - I can also do perfectly good web browsing on it, play music and video, etc.

Once you start you cant never stop, i'm 16 and i'm always foing weird projects with laptops that i get from friends
keep going he will inspire you to repair the dead laptop too
Well done!!
Epic, im 14 and barely have 2 gigs of ram

Nice job on the cleanup and assembly. good to see a system still usefull and saved from the scrap pile. Thanks for the Video.
Hi andrew I want to tell you that There is a graphiscard in pc but is not showing device manger How can I fix Andrew Please answer with video😢
Should install Linux instead of outdated Windows. Linux always helps to keep old and outdated machines alive.👍
First ❤❤
You have a lot of patience ☺️
Thank you. You have no idea how much I enjoy this type of videos. Best wishes from Panama 🇵🇦
Chrome os flex might actually I’ll be better for this pc as it’s lightweight and with it you can covert it into chrome box and makes the speed fast

Plzz make a sleeper build
I've retired from this IT work. Last time doing this was 2017. Now doing something else less thinking work.
I like how you're using a Samsung TV for the PC's display.
With free psus oems can be good , dell psus , fsp psus and delta, my 2002 dell powersupply survived a 1650 and ryzen stresstest
Looking good Andrew! Have you had a haircut?

Restore an old PC, why not? But it will in fact be very limited and stuck in time. But it won't be as glamorous as a computer from the 80s and 90s.
Linux is perfect for old machines like these.... try Linux Mint next time and see the performance difference compared to Windows 10
Nice job 🙂. You can also install tiny 11 (windows 11 version which is easy to run on low end pcs) for quicker response.
A good free PC., and it would work better with a Linux OS., installed.
I'm not surprised GTA V can't run on this pc. it's already takes 110GB on my pc. it cant fit on that 120gb ssd
Gta 5 works on hdd aswell.
May I ask, what did yo spray onto the glue while repairing the heatsink fan?
hi sir, Can I take this pc for free too? I really need one for my research. i dont have a machine like a computer.
i got a rig lga775 w the c2q q9300 and hd 7790. cant run new games well tho
Your a ggod person Andrew..keep up the good work.
Props to you to fix and assemble them into a build than to send them to the scrapyard as e-waste
All things you do in your channel are good 😊
It makes me so happy when a new video is out !!❤
i see andrew but who is the cat??
Are you from North Macedonia?
Please make a video on driver and how you install drivers
hii
Nice build. It's a work of love.

Where to buy some old pc stuff
Is this a reupload or am I going nuts
Retro pc for old games as gta sa(samp) vc 4 etc

I am 14 and I fix computers and phones for family members, I recently gathered enough free parts to make a low power gaming PC and it works great.
저사양컴 만들어서 인디게임 돌리면 진짜 딱이긴 해요 😊
Save the planet initiative lol
What is the name of the first game?
That monitor is similar to mine lol
You don't need to worry about the IDE connection on the DVD drive, because that 775 motherboard has IDE ports still on it. :)
nice video as usuel, but beleive it or not ive managed to make GTA 5 work in a similar config ,+45fps it was awsome.!
...😎👏👍🖖
An epic video as always, love it, where did you get the RAM??? I've got a motherboard that use that same RAM and I can't find it anywhere
Maintenance spray/WD40 dissolves thermal paste.
yooooooo
can this pc run gta5?
It would be a nice touch to change sticker on the stock cooling :) You could place new one or some custom one or just get rid of it since all coolers are 12V anyway you do not need this sticker for anything :P
I REALLY like see you work in desktops!
i love his voice lol
Hey there!
I am one of your old subscriber. I still enjoy your videos :3
Very good!
Nice 👌
Good job!🙂
Andrew good video.I prefer videos with laptop restoration which need some repairs first.
laptop laptop laptop
Гавно старое. Честно. Уже софт не пожжерживает такое старое железо
it could also be a good windows xp retro pc or even truenas machine
Videos are getting shorter but I still enjoy it :")
Looks very usable.
Excellent job, Andrew and Cat.
Sorry, no view I’m gonna be here first view view

Really love to see old hardware being assembeled again
That would run windows 11 as well quite easily
Great PC and such great games too.
the best youtuber for pc repair ever
good to see you back. Great video

Great !

Becoming too old, still not 100% useless but time is doing the job

Brazil aqui
this spec still worth $40 to $70 in my country 🥲
this would be a great little computer if you built it for $200. Free just makes it 1000 times better.
