I Bought An Untested Graphics Card "Mystery Box"!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- eBay is a wonderful site, and I recently found someone selling a massive box of 18 untested graphics cards. So I bought the box for £21, but do any of these untested, cheap, old, and run down graphics cards work? Probably not.
Maybe buy a working Graphics Card? and Support RMDTECH...

I like how he judge the gpu working without correct driver
Right I thought that was dumb asf
The Microsoft driver works fine most of the time for testing
@@gcgaming905 maybe for very, very basic testing, like does it power up and have video output. Other than that, no. The MS driver is generic and doesn't know how to access and manage all the various features of the card. Lots of old video cards "work" until you put them through their 3D rendering paces.
@@TheSaltyExplorer I know I meant like seeing if it works
@@gcgaming905 I mean, even with games like fallout new vegas and that kind of old games crashed the game instantly, so yeah, not a good option to test a gpu. Dude Lazy AF
I'm sure you could salvage the heatsink and/or fan from one of the dead GPUs to put on the fanless 5850.
20:08 That is a SCSI controller. Commonly used in old servers for HDDs.
I think you should clean those cards carefully and apply new thermal paste before trying them.
and obviously replace broken or non working fans.
ikr
That LSI Logic card looks like a parallel SCSI card to me. While parallel SCSI is no longer used in modern systems, people with vintage non-PC systems will be interested in this as this card allows them to hook the disks of their vintage systems to their modern PC's over a PCIe card.
Try reflowing the broken ones in an oven.
temporary fix
Temporary fix, the broken ones he can change the thermal paste. And change the cooler
@@ee1yd I like u muppet
Tempoary, and random method, it could works again for 2 days or 2 years, it depends
The old red graphics card is probably too old to run Windows 10 properly, and there probably aren't any drivers for Windows 10. You'd need an older operating system - like XP or 7 - or modded drivers - to work out what the GPU is and if you can get it to POST.
That's a horrible idea. There are places that intentionally make a fake gpus that fry your computer
Wow, CEX are really being cheap for these nice cards. Great for playing a few year old games on most settings.
That 660ti isn't dead...!! take the card put it in the oven resting on some tin foil balls bake at 220 for 6 mins.... fixed 2 asus direct cu's like that 2 years ago and they're still going to this day 😁
Its a scsi card or possibly a SAS card
Maybe U can usw the 650 zu cooler on the 550ti
im currently using the exact same ati 5850 i got it in 2012 but its not that model its xfx but not that
that could just mean it needs new thermal paste.
They are all tested. People would be stupid not too
660ti might have a corrupted bios. try reflashing it from windows
Great content!
i cant even afford the broken cards for my pc, im so hopelessly broke.
Can you give us the link to the surprise boxes on ebay
Tech? You dint even install the drivers before the test FFS lol
but who the hell buys these old ass gpus anyways really. when there are so many options, people still chose old ass crap. makes no damn sense
I'm calling fake. He just chucked a bunch of graphics cards hes owned
Guess again bud. Here's the ebay listing I bought it from:
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JOB-LOT-18-PCI-E-AMD-amp-NVIDIA-GPU-s-/383161458322?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=tOra%252BUDPcY8%252BgXG27OjcsyVKA40%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc
Soooo many bedroom LTT wannabes. I wish they'd stop clogging up my YT suggestions list.
That weird card is an LSI20320IE SCSI storage controller worth around $30 if it works.
kira I study web development too!
Devolve go to kira’s profile -_-
kira Scuzzz. Ahh good times. When 10k was the norm
Kira I farted
If you really want to test that card, you need 68 pin SCSI hard drive and cable.
Don't sell them to cex! They don't pay for old ati cards. Ebay is better.
Pretty sure he's doing it to show the worst case scenario for selling the cards
@@EdgyShooter ye he literally said that at the start of the video
@@bann3d232 More of a point to the guy saying don't sell them to CEX
@@EdgyShooter I was agreeing with u, not making a point.
@@bann3d232 Ah fair enough, sorry, difficult to judge tone in text 😅
you have 5 broken cards, but you don't have a heatsinc??????
You cant just throw any random heatsink on the card
yes u can, it's called custom GPU coolers, I suggest you Google it, especially water-cooling with custom loops
grandmaster loki I literally have an ASUS Silent cooler on my MSI GTX 460
@@codykamminga9667 yes, but you can't just take a cooler off one card and put it on another. The mounting pressure has to be just right or you will either not have proper contact causing cooling issues, or you can damage the GPU die or other components on the PCB. You probably got it to work because both cards were based off the reference model card, or a recycled design. But typically you can't just pop and swap the coolers of GPU's.
@@amorgan20111 have put lots of other coolers on cards which weren't made for them, 90% of the time, they work fine
"i'm gonna try to fix it later" body slams it into the box
omg u look like 13😂😂
Yah I’m 15 actually
@@SwAgTeE1312 whats so funny about that?
@@SwAgTeE1312 und du wie 10 nach diesem comment!
@@SwAgTeE1312 atleast he know how to respect his stuff apparently
just resell it as a mystery box on ebay
Ha
there is no point in stressing the cards with out installing drivers, you will almost never be able to push a card near full power without drivers, also it wont perform as well as with drivers at any given usage.
For the 550ti without heatsink, just remove the heatsink in the dead 650 and put it onto the 550ti. Nvidia socket seldom changes.
For the half height cards, I think you can screw and remove the metal plate? (at least I have done it for at least 5-6 cards before)
And cex... I prefer you sell them in ebay instead.
you could just take the bracket off the low profile cards and stick the output through the open slot
The loosely packed cardboard packing was bad, but imagine what it would have been like if the padding had been shredded paper. That's how I received a Corsair K70 RGB mechanical keyboard. It went straight back ...
If you weren't so far away I'd offer to take some of those off you for a few bucks. I'm in need of some older GPUs for some systems I'm gifting to the community
20:30 That is an LSI Logic SCSI controller.
That card is a scussi hardrive controller! Do you sell that shirt anywhere? Also, really great video, I really enjoy these!
Thanks! I'll look into that! :) I don't sell the shirt anywhere! :( But if there are people who would like one, I'd be happy to set up a store where people can support the channel and purchase one! :)
It is quite interesting doing things like this. Bought a joblot of "faulty" cards and an "untested" 6970 to do the same thing with.
please repaste the cards
It's not C E X it's prenounced "SEX" (it even says it in their ads)
edit: when i said it's not C E X i meant it's not prenounced as C E X
4:35 i was thinking you hot-swap
ed the graphics card
"Basically a pro"........doesn't install drivers before stress test, yeah right.
Reflow the 660ti with a heat gun or oven bake it 385 for 8 min
Temp fix
@@thealien_ali3382 Depends on how hot your system runs it's only a "temp fix" if you keep your card overheating, I've had cards last years by adding proper cooling after the reflow.
Gtx 660 ti was probably a mining card, a vbios reset might solve your issues
Love those lil keyboard/mouse controllers...I got 3 of em ...2 for main rigs n 1 extra for a couple min I computers like Asus tinker board and 1st gen latte panda win 10 pc ..the Asus runs off Linux type distro on a ad card ...great for lakka and emulation :)
There's a lot missing here. But I think a revist on the broken cards would be good content. Maybe a team up with a component rework expert?
20:19 that is a PCIe SCSI card.
it's an old interface to communicate to highspeed Harddrives form arround 1995..
LSI 20320ie
it's worth arround 35$..
btw. Full-Height and HalfHeigt?
Single-Slot, Dual-Slot and Tripple-slot
The HD 6850 was a beast in its day, that HD 6870 would be great for a retro build.
Man you realy had a dyeing inside moment there with your first video card :)
Interesting video idea. I liked this.
Also, I can tell I'm a full American cause when I hear *CEX* . I'm always like, "Who?"
CEX exists in the US
@@Toastmaster_5000 Huh? It does. Well that's weird. I'm from Alabama around Mobile County so the only storefronts we ever have are Best Buy. We used to have Radioshack too, but yeah...only the one Best Buy.
@@amightygrizzly What a very different world we live in. I'm just north of Boston MA. The Boston metro area is possibly the most tech-centered area in the US east of California. So, we have CEX (which BTW, some pronounce it as "sex"), as well as one of very few Microcenter walk-in stores in the country. There are a few privately owned Radioshacks still around too but most locations have closed. I live within about 40 minutes of at least 7 Best Buys lol. Can't think of any other large computer related stores off the top of my head.
@@Toastmaster_5000 Yeah. I had a college buddy from Boston. Now, I've been to places where literally anything is at your disposal from a few blocks away inside a city. It always made me lost cause the 'concert jungle' is no joke. I ended up in hundreds of books and crannies where I always said, "Ok. Could I just climb up this building with the steps and ladders outside this building and actually see where I'm going?"
Yet, I'm kinda from the woods. I remember when my buddy was like, "Could I visit your place?". I said sure, but after driving down our straight road for 25 minutes he Saud, "Where are we and how are we gonna walk back?" So, I understand where your from. Like people out here don't even know that much about computers too much. Hehe, even my father today said, "Turn off that Nintendo console and help me outside." when he was mentioning the computer I use XD
@@amightygrizzly Luckily for me, I live just outside of Boston, which isn't so annoyingly dense, and I work just south of the New Hampshire border, where there's a lot of forest and marshland. Despite being a tech enthusiast, hiking, biking, and kayaking are some of my favorite hobbies, so, I'm more of a woodsy type who lives in a relatively dense city.
Something I always say to people from the south and southern midwest is New Hampshire or northern Maine and will feel like home, from a parallel universe. Same sort of people, lots of the same types of stores, similar culture (minus politics), but the landscape and climate are _very_ different.
Alabama might not have much in the way of tech, but hey, at least you guys have NASA, and much more affordable living standards.
The low profile cards can be tested by removing the bracket. It's not ideal as the card won't have any support but at least you can find out if they work or not.
Plug those external powers for God's sake!
Them 5850's were some awesome cards in its day, I still have 2 of them both with a 5870 bios for the added core voltage and vram voltage, I wish I had another system to see how they do in 2020.
Why Selling to CEX when You get 5Pounds on EBay for a card which CEX not listet ..... i think if You try to sell every card on EBay You well get much more
wow how much your channel has changed in just a few month sdince i last checked you out... well done dude love it
Thanks for the support, glad you enjoyed the new content!
It would probably be wiser to keep any working cards for future content on your channel
That is funny
You won't be left with say £3 for NVS285 selling on ebay.
£0.30 is fixed fee on paypal, plus 3.4%
EBay would take 12% (10% plus VAT)
Royal Mail would take £2.55 assuming you have large letter box to use to send and account with Royal Mail
Large later box costs £0.28 when purchased in bulk of 100
Your total comes to
£3.00 - 0.30 - 0.10 - 0.36 - 2.55 - 0.28 = -£0.59
Such business is not for you unless you are willing to literary spend tens of thousands to make few hundred pounds of profit (which is dumb business model)
Why is he using intels sock cooler????
Wtf in my country these cards have bigger price.
ok, the name of your channel is RMD Tech and you can't even think of installing the heat sink of a defective gtx 650ti that you have previously tested on a gtx 550ti? ohhh boy, you are a very smart little boy. good job ... 👀😲😨🤣😂🤣😂🍺🍺👍👍
You mix profit with revenue, which is not same
Revenue is all money you get for something
Profit is what you have after you take all your costs from revenue
The "mystery card" is LSI LSI20320IE Ultra Wide SCSI 4 320
0:51 He said "I opened it, But I haven't had a proper look inside yet"
Why did you open it then?? Why not open it in front of the cam if you weren't going to look inside till then.
1:34 Also you knew how bad it was inside before you "opened" it, granted you said "PROPER look inside" but is that the whole reason why you stopped and started to record it? I personally think you bought the Mystery Box in order to do the video so still wondering why you opened it first... I know how I sound and want to say that it's NOT a big deal, I was just curious why you opened it first then mention it... I guess it's cuz I'm interested in making my own content and have recorded some unboxing videos already but never opened the package b4 recording.
I sound retarded and I usually hate ppl that write the stuff I'm writing now and wondering why I'm not pressing the cancel button yet...
Mad to think in 2008 I paid about £400 for a 4870, they were terrible cards went through about 12 in 5 years (due to warranty/refund/buying replacements) they had a habit of dying when I had to go inside pc for something like changing ram or to clean it.
I'll agree with everyone else, don't sell them to cex, you'll get more selling them on eBay. you can still test half hight gpu by removing the backplate, it's a bit janky but it works. Also older ati/amd cards have driver issues with windows 10 try using Windows 7
I bought a pallet of subwoofers once with the intent to turn a profit. Yeah, that was dumb. I ended up just keeping what worked, which wasn’t much. A whole shit load of blown Kicker Solo Baric’s. This was probably 15 years ago.
Recognised that 650 as soon as I saw it, still using the same one in my main pc, 30 - 45 fps on a combination of ultra low, low and medium settings in most games (except in anything from like 2019 and newer).
Well sorry that look cool and all but 30 mins (especially as a first channel check) is a bit long, had to skip a lot. That's probably why LTT & JZ2C videos are 10-20 min long
Lots of comments on how you did almost everything in this video wrong. That's a good thing means people are interested in your content and interested in you presenting it and are concerned enough to want it done right. I am going to chime in with some very narrow focused recommendations. First lesson in Drama class; don't turn your back on your audience. Reorient your videography setup to present you forward facing AND your subject in the camera view. Second point; save some money and either purchase a test bench or build one. Building one is not hard, and can be done with the same materials as used in making a 3D printer and as content would itself be a good video. Third, write a script, even if it is just a flow chart, and then stay with it. You have 10 items to display, describe, attempt installation and use, set-up and install, then demonstrate. All 10 should follow the exact same process of demonstration. This way you can easily have time stamps set to each card and people can scoot to where their interest is focused.
Skip to 2.30 before he actually gets to the point
if you have not already gotten a proper answer that LSI Logic card is a SCSI controller from about 2006. It's not really very valuable to anybody who does not need it as a replacement for one that has died in some old legacy server that is still running after more than a decade. Link: is.gd/Cn6CxP
I've done this before as well but I usually give all the cards away at My eXtreme PC

You CAN fix broken cards by putting them in the oven will resolder and boom it works..
Linus tech tips did it so you can
Pull that shroud off the 5850 and mount a case fan, that’s what we used to do back in the day if you wanted to over clock before coolers could handle it. A good 120 should do fine.
well presented video with an amateurish method of testing and lack of information still enjoyed the video and subbed tho!!
All the non working cards, take off all the stuff you can, put them on a cookie sheet and bake them in the oven. It can reflow the solder. 375 for 10 mins. let cool for 30
You can take the pcie plate off and use it in any case lol.
Dear Mr RMDTech ... you are an IT expert and you do NOT know what a SCSI card is? ;-)
Did this man just say you can't fit a haft height card in a full size case mmmmmmmm you can just left it site there. I've had haft height card in my full size case with no problems.
Nah, i dont believe you can sell a 5850 or 67XX on Ebay. Theres no use for them, sorry.
Be neat to see a motherboard and CPU version of this video, that was cool. It's the kind of thing I would do if I had the spare cash!
LSI LOGIC is a networking technology and data storage. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSI_Corporation
That heatsink-less ASUS board was an ASUS GTX550 TI DirectCu card...
Yep LSI SCSI card probably a 32 bit SAS-1 chip with a 2TB HDD limit..
Mystery boxes are horrible scams for people whom can’t face reality. You won’t make a penny

Mate don't give up! You're soooo good at editing videos man don't give up you make good content.
Profit is the only thing you know, i thought you made these videos for entertaining?
man i was really hoping u would get something worth alot of money
I like your case on your pc, I totally dont have the same one 😂😂😂
a Massive Box he said xd ........ dude don't lie you gonna lose more viewers like that xd0
🤣😂next level shit packing.. negative feedback coming lol
They were all old cards and the packaging threw me for a loop ...fake?
Another FAKE video.....
He just placed all the old V-Cards he and his friends had and claims to be a pseudo Mystery Box... Clickbait
I can link you to the ebay auction I bought it from if you want? ;)
You don't have a test monitor? 🤨
Great video!
That's u320 LVD SCSI controller card.
Cheers, my pc died literally 2 hours ago
20:40 LSI SCSI controller (probably RAID)...
never sell to cex for cash tade for voucher and save till you need to bye something
these old cards have no more driver support and its useless no one wants em
xa84fb = ATI Radeon HD 6770 1gb gddr5
