#FixOrFlop
Sorry about the wonky audio once again! This was filmed before we switched everything over to a new setup.
We've already edited several episodes of season 4 of Fix or Flop! More to come! Thanks for the support.
Possibly Low Voltage DIMMs. Some boards can not run them.
Might be worth picking up a motherboard speaker, nearly every mobo have the pinouts for them and at least could point you in the direction of issues to start troubleshooting these fix or flops that wont post.
@@FRAC7UR3 Came here to say the same, probably could have saved some of the guessing just by connecting a cheap speaker from an older PC.
Apart from that it was a great and instructive video as usual.
I just want to say be careful with the Hyper 212 CPU cooler. The design is really shitty and the nuts don't always stay in place so when threading can turn and dig into the PCB. I accidentally killed an old motherboard years ago doing nothing more than replacing my thermal paste.
he mounted the cpu fan wrong so he went ahead and added a top fan to the aio water pump cooling header to give it a real tinnyness to how cheap his builds.
Happy to see we got another season. I love to watch these.
Much appreciated!
Fix or Flop for life, that's for sure.
Me too
Was waiting for the next(this) FnF episode!
@@GregSalazar yes these are the best videos to exist on youtube
The long awaited comeback of fix or flop, thanks Greg!
Glad it was a simple fix. Surprised you didnt decide to remove the cooler and redo the thermal paste since the 1 screw was already loose.
Indeed i would have checked if there even is any.
While I do agree. Cpu temps may have been reporting cool in the BIOS. If paste was bad or none at all as suggested above, Im sure alarm bells would be ringing
@@AusDaniel still if the cooler has been loose like that and its been used the paste will be bad.
@@j.p.h.8126 Or dust may have gotten its way into the paste/cooler in the time it was inoperable.
@@j.p.h.8126you can feel it when it turns. There’s resistance with paste, without it’s just a metal on metal feeling with barely any resistance.
best series pls don't ever stop this!
Season 4, let’s goo!!! 🔥🔥🔥
The CPU cooler mounting bracket on the back of the motherboard is mounted backwards. The anti shorting/protective film is facing the side panel and not the motherboard. Keep up the great work Greg!
Series is so underrated. it gave me the confidence to do my own build. Every video I learn something new and store it in the back of my mind for if my pc or a friends pc ever has problems.
This is by far and away my favourite series on youtube right now, been watching old ones waiting for this!!
my fav season is back thanks Greg again
Gregs's fluctuating hair is a great time capsule. :)
Bahahah yeah and it would help if it didn't grow so dang fast!
"I think thats our problem" Greg says 7 minutes in, on a 15 minute video. Oh boy.
No curveballs. What a surprise
My actual knee jerk reaction to seeing a new Fix or Flop video: “YES! *immediately taps video*”
Hahah that means so much! So glad you enjoy them.
It demonstrates just how useful even having the basic debug lights are, you'd get the DRAM light on and know straight away to check the memory.
just finished s3e20, what a good timing for a new upload
Yay another Fix or Flop! Much love from the UK.
I always learn something with these vids. Seriously, Thank You Greg.
Great to see a new season of fix or flop, love watching these videos keep up the great work.
Greg gets an automatic like, every time. Seems like a hella good dude and as a fellow Floridian I gotta support
Greg, your channel is honestly one of the best I’ve found in a long time.
I appreciate the methodology and troubleshooting steps you take to try and solve the issues with these computers. I’ve even learned a thing or two as I’m a hardware tech.
Thanks for all you do!
Watched all 3 seasons 👍 keep it up
Michigan here.. another great fix or flop video.. always amazing how bad memory or non compatible memory can crash a pc in so many ways.
So glad fix or flop is back Greg
Omg. How many times I have forgotten to plug in the video cable and thought something was wrong. Love the videos. Thank you for all the great content.
Nice, happy to see another season!
Glad to see FoF back. One thought I had was since the CPU cooler was already loose, it might have been prudent to remove the cooler and check the condition of the thermal paste, if any at all.
Babe wake up, new season of Fix or Flop dropped
Always enjoy seeing the process. 🤘🤘
Great start to the season!
yay!! a new season of fix or flop i was waiting for this!
FINALLY.......This series is back
thanks for the new season learning a lot
Love the series. Glad its back.
Thank you for the videos. Appreciate the clear and concise information, and the Yu-Gi-Oh cards in the background (the Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon often amused me).
Yay! This is the good stuff I want most. Starting out on the right foot, too, with a fix.
Your Back on Orlando channel YEA! Welcome back Greg
Been waiting for this sir Greg! Excited to watch this!
I just finished season 3 and was wondering if there would be a season 4. I love this series so much!
Great tip about the graphics output, I will definitely remember that one.
Thanks Greg. Glad you are continuing this series.
Man I missed these more than you know. Needed this today as my head is in a billion different places.
Thanks Greg
Absolute love watching these super entertaining
That was an interesting one. Thanks for the great content and yay, the beginning of a new season!
I'm happy to see a new season of Fix or Flop. These are my favorite of your videos.
I've learned the hard way to not purchase RAM used. There isn't enough of a savings to make it worth my while, and I've wasted countless hours troubleshooting bad RAM that has no warranty.
My favorite series on UA-cam!! Thanks for a new season!!
I especially love the troubleshooting portion of these Fix Videos.
Best YT series on the planet!!
IT'S ABOUT TIME!
Glad we have a new season up, love this series 👌
This is the best series on youtube. Also I like wristwatch revival.
The thumbnail had me thinking it would NOT be fixed :)
Yesyesyes!!! FOF season 4 here we go!!!
Glad to see fix or flop again
Nice diagnosis, super easy fix!
Woo! A new season of fix or flop. Always a treat when a new one is uploaded
Happy to see another season in progress. Got up to date a couple of weeks or so ago, glad I did. I had a problem with my new build and this series got me to a fix very quickly. Thanks Greg.
Its been month since your season finale and you did other type of video. I really thought you somewhat ended this series already. I'm so glad it is back. This Series is really helpful for me and other to troubleshoot our problem. Thank you Greg
8:25 yes this is a thing to watch out for, easy to freak out at this if you don’t know to look for it
So educational and entertaining too thanks Greg
I love how under every single episode NOBODY tells anyone in the comments what the actual issue was , it makes this so much more interesting and make you watch the whole video to figure it out
Your recent videos have motivated me to visit my closest Micro Center(Chicago). I left paying over 1000 dollars. I did two 3 in 1 bundles and got some other stuff. I SUPER happy with the prices!! Thanks for showing me the way!
What did you get? I'm curious
I can't wait for the next video they are all great so far and I have been watching for quite a while!
I enjoy this series simply for the knowledge it helps put out for new builders with not the latest hardware trying to find a current solution to their problems.
I've seen RAM cause any and every problem in a computer. Good job (as usual) Greg!
Fix or Frop is back, yay! This one had a strange ending---wasn't expecting to see defective memory
Fix or Frop sounds intimidating
@@ToxicNoxic Nah, there's just some Japanese in there....
Happy this series is back! Thanks for all the videos.
It's always a good day when the problem is just a bad ram stick.
It's weird that both sticks are bad
great to see Fix or Flop back and looking forward to the Deep Clean series returning too.
Yeeeh, Greg is BACK!!!🤗 With Fix or Flop Season 4!! 😉👌🤟👍!
Happy it's back!
When you said it power up but no post, first thing i could think of is dead GPU i had that problem with my first pc everything turns on even Radeon gpu fan spinning but No post. Glad its only ram this time and multiple parts. Geart job once again!!
Thank god! A new episode!!!!!
Love watching these videos, I watched tons of them around a year ago and then your channel slipped my mind and after I found you again I made sure to subscribe!
Super fun to watch and helpful for whenever I run into these issues with future builds or when I’m trying to help people in my area.
found your channel on accident hooked finally caught up watching all vids enjoying them so much shame your not in the uk i learn small things from you great work!!!
starting off season 4 with a banger
Great job, keep the good vibes and thanks 4 content Greg.
Great to see this epic series back :)
"Upgrading to Dom Plats is a slight upgrade"
Slight? I want some.
u know its a good day when greg puts out a fix or flop :)))))
Thank you, Greg.
always learning with you Greg 👍
Do you stresstest or benchmark the PC's before sending them back out? Would be interesting to see more of a 'payoff' at the end of the episodes.
Either way always love these episodes. Keep fighting the good fight!
i'm glad you gave them a gpu bracket. that sag was tough to look at
hell yeah season 4 lets go! GS been cranking out the content much love!
Very nice! i like watching these sometimes when im too bored. its intresting how easy but also hard it is to repair these.
Our hero's back!
The great series continues. Thanks Greg!
I'd think that if the CPU cooler wasn't screwed in all the way and was so loose, that would have caused some real issues down the road with cooling. Thanks for making these videos for us 😋
Your quickly becoming a daily must watch Greg. Between this and the Microcenter upgrades vids. It's awesome!
My son had that same case and yes - it is a hopeless hotbox!
Slammin` 🦈
Greg helps people out & we get entertainment & knowledge. Been out of the tech scene for about a decade just maintain my own & family jazz now. But I started when Windows 3.1 was still a thing. These videos help me feel like I'm still in the 'loop'. Cheers.
I really appreciate this series, it helps give me a insight into more potential problems than I'd likely think of without these. Thank you.
Greg, you made my day. Great work! I love this Fix or Flop videos so much. You´re just so good to explain every step you do, so that everyone can follow you along the whole troublshoot proces. Keep up the good work. Can´t await the next episode.
Glad my guy got a free fix :)
Perfect timing, binged all the other seasons. Thanks Greg for the return!
Loved it. Thanks Greg.
I understand budget cases, but my god they should at least manufacture them with some intake vents. Love this series btw
Just saw the intake vent at the bottom of the front panel, that's not enough, smh..
this pc represents what most of our PCs look like. glad you could get it going again.
These are nice to watch, nice job on the tech support on the discord. That can help a wider range of people.
missed this welcome back 😀
