      I call my machine using that case the Emperor - it's the Storm Trooper, and it's big enough to rule them all. It's nearly 50 pounds kitted out. I bought an additional drawer to keep software in so I don't have to hunt for it when I flush and reinstall. I thought that the top looked a bit like the alien queen from Aliens when I popped it off to install the cooler. It has a massive number of spaces for drives.

      @@NipplesOfDestiny usually you want to get some reputable brand with some kind of efficiency certification (80 plus). You can tell this one is garbage because it lacks both those things, and might not even have security features like overvoltage protection and stuff like that. Though in all honesty, if you're building a low en system that doesn't require a lot of juice, it would probably be fine.
      But if you have expensive components in your build, you don't want to have them fried by a bad power supply!

Had to reflash the original BIOS on them to get them back and they were all good. This Xeon project then started giving me funny errors, seems to be memory reseatment issues as far as I can tell ... And have been testing stability by running prime 95 at the same time as Unigine Valley for max stability. Fun times, Yes man! Sucks about that bricked mobo tho!

    Intel H61 motherboard bios updates are such a pain! I've gone through this about 4 times now, here's how to fix it.
    You need to do a recovery bios update:
    -Shut the PC completely off (switch off the PSU or unplug from wall too)
    -Stick in a formated fat32 usb with just the 0048 bios file on it
    -Remove the bios jumper on the motherboard
    -Turn on the PC and wait for it to do the update
    Once you're at 0048, then do the same bios recovery update to 0099, and then from there you can update to the latest via windows or directly from the bios.
    www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005630/boards-and-kits.html
    I've done this several time so feel free to pm me if you ever decide to resurrect the board and want some help :)

    Man, I can't believe I only found your channel like a week ago. Love your videos and watching the used price to performance videos. Gives me a lot of inspiration and ideas for how I can do my own builds. Currently working on an i7-3820 with an Intel LGA2011 stock cooler, a X79 Motherboard and 8GB of DDR3 and a few other things for just $99 USD.
    Also I believe that's a Cooler Master Storm Trooper case. I got one back on 2015 for my first new computer build. I personally regretted the decision a lot as my first case I picked out when I entered computer building. There were an insane amount of cables due to the fan controllers, the power LED used a molex connector I believe. A bunch of things I just wasn't ready to deal with when I first started out 4 years ago. It was roughly $150 new when I bought it. How you described how it would "look" was pretty much my exact thinking when I bought it, too.
    Another side note about that case is that the hard drive mounting cages and can be rotated completely so you can change the air flow to the front of the case as opposed to the side if you want. There's a little black bar that's held in by two screws that need to be removed to do so.

      As a random update, no one asked for. I actually got my combo the other day and it turns out the seller was mistaken and the combo had 16GB of RAM, not 8GB so that was a really nice bonus. I'm hesitant to get an E5-1650V2 because the Revision 1.0 CPU support for the GA-X79-UD5 states it doesn't support the E5-1650v2, however the Rev 1.1 of the board does and from what I can tell they both use an identical BIOS.

    • @thetrueinferno7993

    • @fuzzyface4515
      @fuzzyface4515 5 років тому

      It's revision 1.0. It's printed on the motherboard itself. I just find it so mindboggling that the 1.0 is compatible with the E5-1650 V1 Sandy Bridge and up to the i7-4960X processor, but not compatible with the E5-1650 V2 Ivy Bridge. I'd do my own research on google, but for the most part I can't find really anything on this motherboard (that's in english anyway) Both Revisions 1.0 and 1.1 use the F13W BIOS for Ivy Bridge compatibility, however the Rev 1.0 says it does not support the Xeon Ivy Bridge CPUS, whereas the Rev 1.1 does. It makes my brain melt a little. I'll probably just play it safe and get a 1650 v1 as I can't really afford to get the v2 and have it not work on the board. XD @@thetrueinferno7993

    1. Download BE0048 bios zip
    2. make the usb bootable
    3. copy the iflash and bio file and anything else on the zip onto the usb
    4. Put it into the pc and let it start might have to hit f10 to boot from usb.
    5. type IFLASH2 /pf XXX.BIO /rb
    xxx is the bios name make sure to capitalize
    6. Do the same for BE0099
    7. computer will now freeze at bios because intel is friggin stupid.
    8. Unplug and take out the damn cmos battery, and bios jumper wait for awhile.
    9. do the 120 bios version on the usb leave the bootable stuff on from rufus of course, but this time you don't need to type anything, leave the cmos battery and bios jumper out, and start the pc, wait for it to flash automatically.
    10. Turn off, Put back in battery and bios jumper and restart and you good boi, change clock in bios.
    11. Do this all without the video card installed. This process will need to be done with a second gen (Sandy Bridge Pentium/i3/i5/i7) to use a 3rd gen cpu.

    Intel and Microsoft do their best to keep people from messing with things. I have the same case in White. It was a very expensive case to purchase. You got a fantastic deal on it.. A case like that can be used for any kind of build and motherboard since its so big. Another tip/ trick is that you can rotate the side facing fans to the front by doing a bit of work and unbolting the unit and rotating it to face in from the front. This made a huge difference in air flow the case also has a fan controller if you got it with the box. Then you can use the button on the front top to change fan speeds.

      There's 2 possibilities :
      1. That computer was bought cheap by Brian because it was the proceeds of a home burglary, and the brain dead drug addict burglar who stole that PC, was too dumb to know that it's worth a hell of a lot more than what they were asking for it.
      2. Brian bought the PC for a hell of a lot more than what he has said, and he only said that the PC is whatever the low price is, because it makes for a good video.

      Idk where you live exactly but at least here in the US I get deals like this fairly often in DC and Philly. Cities with a large middle/upper middle class sell this stuff pretty cheap on FB marketplace and Craigslist. Probably just people who don't know what they have and aren't bothered to figure out since they're already making $90 an hour at their day job anyways. They just want the computers gone.

      If a person using your scenario above makes $90 per hour, which is pretty good money in my opinion, and say for example they bought a core i7 gaming PC with 8 GB Ram and 2TB HDD and say they paid anywhere from $1500 - $2000 for it and say this person knows next to nothing about computers.
      Even though they make good money, I can't imagine that person metaphorically giving that PC away after a few years of use, by selling it for like $255, after what they initially paid for it (anywhere from $1500 - $2000) , *if* they were going to basically throw the PC away for this kind of money ($255) then I can't imagine they would even waste their time to sell it, and as you said *"they just want the computers gone"* so instead they would just throw it in the trash.
      So going back to what I said, it is usually brain dead drug addicted house burglars, who go after small amounts of money, usually just enough to pay for their drug habit, so they sell the items which they stole for way under it's actual value.
      So, I understand what you're saying, but my point is still valid and I stand by it.

    and also a question.. why didn't use the hardware programmer when u encountered all those issued? it would have solved everything quickly ;)
    also, did u check the CMOS battery? XD updating a BIOS on a mobo with a dying battery might give u some issues

    That's a sweet case, especially for that price. Looking at the frames you got in Hitman, I bet you could crank up the settings even higher at 1080p or if the person that ends up buying the rig from you has a higher refresh rate monitor, it should do well. Too bad about the Intel board, but not terribly surprising. Their boards used to be some of the best performing and most reliable long ago, but they've since slipped in the quality department big time as they've made things more and more proprietary and less user friendly. That Gigabyte board should do much better. They aren't typically the best performing/overclocking boards, but they do tend to be quite stable and reliable, at least in my experience in the past with Gigabyte boards.

    A lot of socket 1155 and older Intel, HP and Dell motherboards do not like Polaris graphics cards at all, it's just the way it is unfortunately. They will often display the problem you saw with your build in windows, or not work at all like some Dell's do. Even the bios splash screen on my old Gigabyte Z68 motherboard shows up completely distorted whilst using an rx460 (I've tried about five of them), rx480, rx570 or my rx580 8gb. That said the cards perform perfectly in Windows once it's booted. Any older radeon graphics card shows the bios splash screen perfectly, as do all nvidia cards and the onboard graohics.

Though you can get a BIOS flash clip, that works through USB to recover it, but there is still a risk. Also there are a couple of companies that sell the chips pre-flashed, but you have to solder them on if they are not socketed.
