heck my daily driver is a 3rd gen intel based dell optiplex with 16gb of ram and a Gigabyte rx580 8gb. It seems like it wouldn't be as enjoyable to play games on a modern system because you know it'll be decent. Using "old" systems and optimizing the experience is over half of the joy isn't it?
Oh my god yes, I already have all the pcs I need 😂 Although, most of them started out as fun projects. My gaming pc has a mining GPU with a custom driver. I have thin client running windows 10 (tiny 10 technically) A dell optiplex 740 with a different motherboard (no, the mounting holes didn't fit, I used zip ties and cardboard 💀) Also a few laptops and phones that are yet to find uses. My main laptop is mostly normal though and I don't dare to fuck around with my phone and tablet, they're to important to break.😂
Yes, a video on Sandy Bridge/LGA 1155! Literally my favorite generation as of late. Almost every computer I’ve built for my family is some sort of Sandy Bridge Xeon or i5-2400/2500. Even my backup PC and laptop have sandybridge chips, an i7-2600k and i7-2820qm respectively. They’re still new enough to not be worth collector’s money yet, and are super usable. No matter what r/buildapc says.
And don't forget that back in ye olden Sandy Bridge days laptops also came with actual, pleasant to use keyboards that could handle more than a micron of dust :D
I recently won a PC on ebay listed as for parts for £50 plus postage. Turns out the CPU power connector was unplugged, and other than that it works just fine. It has with an i7 4790k and Z97 board as well as an R9 290, all working fine. Couldn't believe the fix was that simple.
It’s also a bit sad that that’s true, in a way, lol. We’re at a point where relatively old hardware is still “just fine” for most uses. Wasn’t true even 20 years ago. Advancement really has slowed a lot.
I don't go any lower than Haswell these days. That being said, Sandy/Ivy bridge are still absolutely solid office PCs paired with a cheap 120GB SSD. my old work dev PC just had an i5-2320, 12GB RAM and a GTX 745 in it, and I wasn't ever longing for more powerful hardware
my linux dev box is an old 2600, and my old 2600 imac powers my klipper instances for my 3d printers (like a central hub instead of individual pi's) Still plenty of uses for the old girls
Ah, the HD 3000. I haven't had to deal with that thing since I was interested in Hackintoshes. Had a Dell laptop that worked *almost* out of the box with Snow Leopard, except that HD 3000 just couldn't be used for accelerated graphics. Was the bane of that entire project.
Idk why, but these 8~12 years old motherboards look cool af imo. And considering how well 2nd gen Intel processors still perform, I have no idea why people doubt I'm telling the truth when I talk about how usable my 4th gen Intel laptops are... I mean, I do have an idea, 4, 6 cores keeps being pushed as the minimal required for a pc nowadays, for some reason
I think it's more about people not knowing it's changed. In the 90s to the mid 00s computing moved very fast, and everyone kind of assumed that they still move fast, helped along a little by advertising.
@@henryokeeffe5835 which's fair when you consider older people, but most of the people that say that are at my age or younger. But yeah, I think advertising is mainly what causes that. And it's worsened by influencers telling people that games running at less than 60fps on ultra on a piece of hardware means it's shit... I mean, you can run games from the early 2000s on a 4th gen Intel iGPU and it'll probably get to 60+fps at ultra
I'm Canadian and have moved to Australia. I love the council cleanups. I've built my desktop right from the side of the road, it's great. I7 4790k, 32gb ram, gtx titan 12gb, 256gb nvme, 512gb sata ssd, 160gb hdd, 320gb hdd, 640gb hdd. Didn't pay a dollar, just found them at random times while going to work and back.
I love seeing these types of computers just like older ones that still hold their own in a lot of tasks for such a cheap price. It's a nice refresher from videos on other computers that are like so new and flashy that are 10x more expensive.
My back up system is running a Sandy Bridge E3-1245 Xeon with 16gb ram and a GTX 750ti with that exact CiT psu (which I think I may swap out for a Corsair VS450 after seeing this video), 100mhz shy of I7-2600 performance on base and boost for about half the price on average. Nippy little rig that does the job as far as basic use and light/older games.
This very processor was powering my main gaming PC for YEARS. Paired through much of it's working life with a GTX 750TI. I still have the processor, motherboard, and the 750TI and I suddenly want to rebuild it and do something with it.
I miss using my Zotac GTX 760 2gb which served me very well for years. I still have that build with it's Haswell processor in the Fractal case I got just for it 9 years ago.
My main desktop PC is still 1155/Ivy Bridge. It's got a i7-3770, a lot of RAM, and a rather anachronistic Radeon Vega 64 Frontier Edition. It does most things I need or want of it exceedingly well still, though of course the Vega 64 is basically a 300 watt space heater under load.
Man i hate CPU naming. I read i7 and i thought it's something newer. 😂 Ok I bailed out of the hobby more than 10 years ago. Some interest is still there but I find my self often on comparison sites and benchmarks because I can't figure out the performance from names or even the stats.
Picked up a i5-4750, H97M-Pro motherboard,8Gb ddr3,GTX750,500W PSU, Silverstone case and blue-ray drive for 3,500 JPY which is about 18.30UKP.. The case was fine just a few marks ..bought a cheap SSD and it's good to go
But "z" boards are not cheap. Not super expensive anymore (still too expensive for 12y old board) but if you don't have one it doesn't make any sense as you can get am4 board for same money.
Man I just love your everyday approach to everyday scenarios that are affordable for the normal human being it's nice to see you producing this stuff that is very satisfying without a big budget sponsor and all that stuff like it gets old and I am an actual tech and it's nice to see somebody else going through the things that I have wondered about and gone through. There's always a diamond in the rough it's just a matter of finding the right deal to invest in.
I was trying to guess the generation that processor is from based on the heatsink sticker visible on the thumbnail and I was quite close. My guess was at best 3rd gen Ivybridge i3 or something (but turned out it was a Pentium from the same era), since starting around Haswell its all blue and not the 2 part blue and white of earlier gens. The SSD dangling on the cables is just hilarious since I've also done that before while cloning SSDs and it looks jank, but works fine since they ain't mechanical drives.
I have a 6th gen Pentium with a 2060, it plays all the games I need it to do like BeamNG and Vintage Story (WITH high settings). It’s also a killer with other stuff, like KiCAD, screen recording, and 4K UA-cam.
I mean... I haven't bought a VGA cable in 20 years, and I'm pretty sure I only own one. On the other hand, I have a spare WiFi card, complete with antennas, in the PC I'm using now because I don't have an anti-static bag to keep it in. PC hoarding be like that sometimes.
A quick tip with crt monitors. You can often push the resolution and or refresh rate much higher with cru (custom resolution utility). Most crt's can likely do 1600 by 1000 at 60 or 75 hz.
I bet a sixpack of beer that it runs better under Linux, nothing better than running an older system under something that doesn't have so many built-in system hogs. (No i am not giving up 😁)
While I've upgraded my main pc to a Ryzen 7900x, I still have my old desktop that I used till early 2020 which is a Sandy Bridge i5-2500k overclocked to 4.4ghz. It's still a nice computer today.
I have an i3-2120 system that I got for the cost of drilling a hole in the HDD for the previous owner, and a new PSU. It's not the best system in the world. It's not even the best system in the room, but you can't beat it for the price. I wouldn't hesitate to pick up another Sandy Bridge system for general computing, or gaming, if it had the right chip. There's nothing wrong with them.
Great video👍 Idea/suggestion: change the PSU, put an i7, 16 GB of RAM, and a more powerful Graphics card in it, and see how far it can go in terms of more modern games...
I get similar-ish systems (tough mostly prebuilds) for free every now and then, because they'd otherwise get scrapped. I grew up having to scrape together my money for a PC, just to get scammed over and over (eventually leading to me having to learn how to build/fix them myself) so I can't say no to such offers, even if it means having a lot of PCs standing around at times. I've never seen the illusive R7 450 for a low price, tough. As far as VGA, DVI and Power Cables go, I either have none or 30+, never anything in between.
I'm not sure about dual core CPUs being adequate for web surfing and day-to-day tasks. Modern websites and video streaming are demanding. Maybe Nanna won't notice but anyone with a modern smartphone will notice the slowdown. Spending just a bit more on a 4 core CPU will improve the experience tenfold IMO. I tried upgrading my FM2+ motherboard but my A10-7800 APU is the cream of the crop. Threw in an Athlon X4 860 with minimal gains and went back to my old APU lol Love the videos mate
my home server used an i7 2600 up until like a year ago, when the motherboard on the poor lenovo office pc crapped out. still havent replaced my home server, my ryzen 9 3900x main rig has been able to handle all my homeserver/ gaming needs at the same time.
My previous system had a 2400. It lasted until 2022 when sadly the motherboard died. It was still pretty capable for everyday use with 8 gb of RAM. For gaming not so much.
Great video showcasing the value of these Sandy and Ivy bridge chips, I use an Ivy bridge i5-3470 in my main PC still and it performs well for its age Also, the Discord server invite link is invalid
CiT power supplies are absolutely awful. There's a reason why you say it can't power a HD7870: these cheap and nasty PSUs have awful 12V rails - basically, the amount of power it can supply on the 12V rail is very limited. This is important because all of your beefy components, such as the CPU, GPU, hard drives, optical drives, case fans, etc, are all powered from the 12V rail, and they are the components you need to power. Most good PSUs can supply their label wattage, or very close to it (say, give or take 50W) on just the 12V rail(s) alone, and some premium PSUs can even exceed the label wattage - whereas the cheapy CiT PSU only manages to meet the label wattage by adding everything up (including the standby rails) and some dodgy rounding. In some cases the 12V rail can only supply half of the total rated power (!), overly compensated by the 3.3V and 5V rails (which are now less important). Hence, if it's a cheap PSU, and it says 500W, it might not actually be able to power a full system.
I remember that case, it came in the most chinesium Gothic box ever... And i cut myself on it. Found an old picture, apparently its a CiT black series, Templar! Matte and the box is.. wierd.
My second system is a xeon E3 1270( i72600), 16GB ram and a 1650 ddr6, beside 3A gaming is still nice. If you have P/Z 67/77 mobo and want to squeeze some more power, can overlock non K non xeon (i5/i7) cpus +400mhz all core. For example my i5 2400 was running at 3.6 ghz all core( no blck oc) with only 1.165v. I think 1150/1155 or x99 are decent performers.
PLUS SHIPPING, don't omit your shipping price there part of the COST of ownership, and if you do get it from local PICKUp state that you get it that way.Otherwise this is not an 8$ PC, since many sellers on EBAY will often put the cost of what they want into the shipping price, and since you OMITED that we don't know if they did. For all we know you paid 200$ to ship this. So don't omit your shipping costs and state if you got it via local pickup then you can say it was 8$.
everytime i watch one of your videos i stop on a question what do you do with all these pcs you build? are you able to sell them for a profit? do you give em away?
You should get some cheap xeon for 1155, something like 1230v2 never go above 50W (better binning I guess) and 4c/8t can make difference in more modern titles.
crysis was the og impossible to run game, what gave pc gamers their pc master race ego that carries on to this day with people building 3000usd rigs, but your channel is proof that if you are not scared of using a mix of mediun and low settings, you can get the performance of last gen consoles and a killer daily driver pc for very cheap, people seems to fear 720p and low shadows but you don't really need them
Sees two processors in the description: oh no. Sees two amounts of ram: oh God no. Sees two different GPUs were used: this thing is gonna be a turd ain't it?
Wow , at this time and moment , specs are going to be same as mine (Pentium G2030 , 4GB DDR3) that I scored few days ago for free. Mine doesn't have WiFi. Let's see is it H61 and GT-630 GFX.
I'm sick of forced AA and SSAO, most of the time these things look worse and cause issues, any game that forces them on and gives no options is an instant pass from me.
So nice of the seller to include a free computer with the Modem they were selling

PLUS SHIPPING, don't omit your shipping price there part of the COST of ownership, and if you do get it from local PICKUp state that you get it that way.Otherwise this is not an 8$ PC, since many sellers on EBAY will often put the cost of what they want into the shipping price, and since you OMITED that we don't know if they did. For all we know you paid 200$ to ship this. So don't omit your shipping costs and state if you got it via local pickup then you can say it was 8$.
love these vids
i watch every vid
feels different when i watch your vids
I always ALWAYS buy my PSUs with a 40-50% power margin. I'm kinda silly that way.
Thats pretty awesome for that price.
still using a sandy bridge system .... i5 2400....16gb ddr ram....gtx 1050 2gb ...playing games like spiderman remastered and forza horizon 5
Yes new Video and perfect on saturday :D
Thank you very much
everytime i watch one of your videos i stop on a question
what do you do with all these pcs you build? are you able to sell them for a profit? do you give em away?
Love this channel 😊
You should get some cheap xeon for 1155, something like 1230v2 never go above 50W (better binning I guess) and 4c/8t can make difference in more modern titles.
xeon e3 1230v2 is an Ivy Bridge CPU, this mobo only supports Sandy Bridge.
That's funny that you and a discord member were in a bidding battle for the exact same purpose.
crysis was the og impossible to run game, what gave pc gamers their pc master race ego that carries on to this day with people building 3000usd rigs, but your channel is proof that if you are not scared of using a mix of mediun and low settings, you can get the performance of last gen consoles and a killer daily driver pc for very cheap, people seems to fear 720p and low shadows but you don't really need them
Peak packaging 😤😤😤
TBF for about 5 mins one of them cit PSUs managed to run an x79 based system with a 980ti for me
I use Sandy Bridge! 😂 she's my baby 😭
Sees two processors in the description: oh no.
Sees two amounts of ram: oh God no.
Sees two different GPUs were used: this thing is gonna be a turd ain't it?
Don't worry, no one is good at CS2, not even the cheaters
my man spending more money on the window cleaner he's using to clean the PC than the PC itself
how are you using that laptop as an external display?
sandybridge is peak intel
Wow , at this time and moment , specs are going to be same as mine (Pentium G2030 , 4GB DDR3) that I scored few days ago for free. Mine doesn't have WiFi. Let's see is it H61 and GT-630 GFX.
Intel spoiled us with Sandybridge...
can you start testing deadlock and minecraft simply optimized modpack
WHERE DO YOU FIND THEM MATE???? These deals don't exist anywhere close to the Balkans 😭😭😭
Please make a DAW tower for audio. It will go viral music producers are poor
Its unfortunate cobs made you pay an extra 51p, goddamn cobs
Must have doubled the price of the system cleaning ti with "Waitrose" cleaner.
Not my window cleaner* 😎
How do you use the Laptop as a display? 😅
love a good project!
New wideoooo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
beamng minimum requirements video?
I'm still miffed you didn't clean that dirty case foot. 😡

Love the video man
headsup: *the link on your channel to your discord says invalid/expired*
"packing material"
I'm sick of forced AA and SSAO, most of the time these things look worse and cause issues, any game that forces them on and gives no options is an instant pass from me.
Hold on a moment, why do you sound like a Top Gear presenter...
