It absolutely is an incredible feeling when you give loving to equipment. Last month I cleaned out my 10 year old MacBook + thermal repaste, and did the same with a 5 year old acer Notebook. Got 10°C and lower fan speeds out of it, feels like one of the most satisfying things ever.
I still remember opening up an old PC to work on and finding what was left of a dead mouse ! It was turning into a puddle of goo - nasty ... Also found one in a used transmission I bought to overhaul . His stain remained in the trannies pan , even after cleaning ....
I use 3D printed universal IO shields when a mobo comes without one. Just completes the look and are a grid design so easy to cut to the mobo back port layout.
oh, that sounds neat. Got some older boards where finding the proper IO shield is basically impossible. Btw, I found them already printed for those without 3d printer
Scd keys are amazing I have used them several times now and have never had a problem and the price is so reasonable. Amazing job and you obviously relish the challenge to turn the dumpster bound computer to a repurposed functioning Computer so less for the landfill ...!!!
Great video, I actually have that same PC case. It has plenty of space inside and high airflow. I even replaced the original front fan with a 200mm RGB one and the top fan was replaced with an AIO. The case is big and heavy, but it is very functional.
@@mikescomputercorner1204 True, but I use it more for the external drive bays. I rip a lot of CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays, so the number of available bays is a plus for me.
That's s cooler master 932 case. My wife has one and I still want one. They're awesome cases. If you have a side door fan, they cool a gpu exceptionally well.
That Cooler Master HAF... Good Airflow for its time, but such a pain to clean off... I had to Clean 2 of them a few month ago... those transparent fans always end up yellowish...
Man Cooler Master used to put out some banger cases. I'm still using a CM HAF 922. So many glorious, tool-free hard drive slots and plenty of room for anything.
Things I would do: I would try to remove that hard drive cage or see if I can move it up where the 5.25" bays are, possibly fit in a replacement there for the purpose of increasing airflow. Add a fan to the bottom for additional cooling. Look into a different side panel or creating a new one with an expanded view. I'm going to start collecting motherboard back-plates too.
Still cautious about cleaning a PSU in water but you always prove me wrong. The best part was replacing the usually small and noisy GPU fan with a beefier and a more quiet one that does the job better.
You can also buy I/O shields directly from manufactorers. I used to build and sell pcs, often using refurb or return parts and they usually had no i/o shields. I would just contact the manufactoror and they would usually send one for about 5 bucks.
MSI puts on some nicely designed fans with more fins than most. I wouldn't say it was brittle, more like they were thin so they can fit more fins. As the owner of three MSI RX 580s and a 1050, I can tell you that they will not take a hit. Plus, good demo that some fans just can't take that much force from a blower.
Good day Bryan, greatly appreciate your thoroughness and attention to detail. I've learned a substantial amount from your channel over the years. Would you please confirm what affect your extensive Ultrasonic Deep Cleaning have on the Cooling Fan's Bearing Lubrication. Many Thanks.
Nice job with the cleaning. The build is asking for a snowman cooler and some OCing on the cpu. I’d think it could use an exhaust fan in the back, as well. Then it would be ready for a better card, all the way up to say 1080 ti.
The three upgrades I'd make to that right away would be... 1) a better cooler for that i7-6700, I'm just not a "fan" of the top down Intel stock coolers, I want to see copper heatpipes, at least one fan if not two, and aluminum fins like a nice motorcycle engine block, and that will help with overclocking (maybe need a 6700K for that though) 2) that motherboard has an m.2 slot that can use an NVMe boot drive, might as well get one in there even if it's just a $40 one for Windows and a handful of favorite games 3) $40 is enough to get four of those RGB heat spreaders for the RAM sticks and that adds a ton of color as well as function to keep it cool, maybe allowing some memory overclocking
I love those copper heatsinks! I would have changed the stock intel cooler to a small all-copper cooler. Maybe an old copper Zalman such as the cnps 7500/9500/9900
machines need a clean once in a while, especially when smoking nearby. A simple wipe every month or so to start, and then maybe 3-4 times a year getting out the duster to clean all those nooks an crannies and the buildup in coolers. And than maybe once a year a throughout cleanup with disassembly. I noticed toothbrushes are quite effective to get intbetween lower cooling fins and then maybe a pastry brush for deeper things.
I am a smoker, and yes the toothbrush and Q-tips are the way to go with a bit of iso alcohol and it rubs the tar soaked dust right off. Then I usually just wipe everything down with a cloth and a air duster. I do this once every 3 months it takes half an hour to an hour. It is definitely worth doing this if you are a smoker.
@@xSpebaa I understand, but also understand to non smokers the smell is not pleasant, and you will never get all of the tar off the walls if you want to move in the future.
These cases are iconic in my opinion. We have two in the family. The Volvo station wagon of gaming cases...almost indestructible. Last time Brian had one of these he failed to figure out how to take apart the case panels fully...hoping this pleb figures it out this time. Haaaahhhhh
You could do an updated video of everything that you use to clean pc parts and show us more in detail the method and possible tips maybe ... I think people that follow you for a bit know it but for those who don't know it would be good to get all this info in a dedicated video !
Hi Bryan, re: that question of the day, I think they were referring to the cooler backplate, not the motherboard's I/O shield. I'd really like to know the answer to this question! I have often wondered how you get past this issue, as there are lots of mobos on ebay etc without the backplate included
A CPU cooler upgrade would have been a nice touch with the i7. I know it adds a little to cost however the reward will be worth it. I guess the same could be said for LED's.
My first pc was a dell xps 8100 I found in a dumpster. It was immaculate compared to this pc hahaha. All the thing needed was a new HDD. Served me well for years. Literal dumpster PC.
This video reminds me that it's time for my pc's scheduled 6 month cleaning.Man i hate it but it gotta happen.The draw back of having 6 fans in a pc excluding the 3 of the gpu :D
It's satisfying watching someone else do all the hard cleaning work while I just sit there sipping a cup of hot coffee.
I'm happy I'm not smelling any dust too
Only down side is you don't get any money only the enjoyment of watching bryan but it's sometime all you need
7:43 all computers love Tech YES B10W Jobs
yes
That little snicker after he said it made me laugh more.
I laughed too he's getting sexual with the PC parts 😂

I still have my HAF 932, best air flow case EVER. Doubles as a BUNKER too if needed
bringing a pc back to its glory, is a beautiful thing

You are fantastic, the patience you have to clean it and leave it as new is impressive. You also give him a new one. for us it is a treasure.
The Cooler Master HAF 932 has been a real beast of case. I've been using one since early 2009 and its still doing the job.
7:43 didn't expect him to say that , LOLZ !
I think this build is decent. The 1060 is the only part that probably needs to be upgraded. Thanks TYC!
There’s only ONE that knows how to do that tech YES lovin’!

That sounds like a great idea.
Can you share the STLs?
@@thedungeondelver I believe they're on Thingiverse, trying to remember the exact name!
@@thedungeondelver can't seem to share the link but just search for universal IO Shield on Thingiverse and you'll find it.

It's still pretty competitive for that today. They're all glass today.
7:42 it's a good way to treat morning wood.
My lord, that owner treated that machine like a red-headed step child.
ahhh damn that's my lol for the day.
Well, it does have a red stripper-heel fan in the front.. so maybe that's exactly what it was...
As a red-headed person I don't appreciate these sort of comments.
@@Krhys1 Yaa but are you also a step child?

That Legendary Cooler Master HAF 932!!
pulling an i7 6700 and a 1060 out of the dumpster though, thats a nice find!
Nice. Looks better than new.
Love watching cleaning videos. Although I am still skeptical about using the ultrasonic cleaner on the fans.
How do the fans survive the bath without removing the lube in the bearings?
Some fans have sealed bearings
Tech YES Music on point.
You are a passionate person and brilliant youtuber. I love your videos and work. I appreciate your videos. Well done.
"Why do you sound excited?"... I was just gonna comment that I'd just LOVE to get my hands on a project like that.
You can also buy I/O shields directly from manufactorers. I used to build and sell pcs, often using refurb or return parts and they usually had no i/o shields. I would just contact the manufactoror and they would usually send one for about 5 bucks.
That fan swap on gravis card was dope
I do enjoy watching these cleaning videos of yours while I lay in bed waiting for sleep. It's relaxing to me lmao
Ultras clean look good job Brian
Ouch! I did that to a GPU fan back awhile ago. That sucks!
Great video showing a lot of people how to keep their PC clean. Love the ultrasonic cleaner that cleaner helps a lot.
Nice to see the good old cooler master haf 932 case 😍
Wow! This is why we all come here, thank you! 💕

Give that some tech yes loving ❤
Yo brian, make sure to relube the fans if they sit in the hot tub for that long, detergent will try to dissolve the bearing grease too
That was refreshing!
If only I lived in Australia, I love cleaning PCs tbh.
Hey Brian,cool haircut!!!!
I have that same exact case! Cooler master haf932 full tower. I run a msi b350 tomahawk with a ryzen 1600 rx480 8gb 16gb 2133 ram xmp to 2400.
Good day Bryan, greatly appreciate your thoroughness and attention to detail. I've learned a substantial amount from your channel over the years.
Would you please confirm what affect your extensive Ultrasonic Deep Cleaning have on the Cooling Fan's Bearing Lubrication. Many Thanks.
THIS!
They would need relubing, hope he see's this.
was just thinking the same thing
He put the GPU and PSU in water, right? Is it risky to do so? I would be too scared to even dip the fans' cables in it.
@@Piohm As long as it's 100% dry it will be fine, just those fans will either need to be lubed or replaced if not.
its really cool to watch hardware getting a second life!
That is still a nice case. My previous gaming rig had the HAF 922 and same case with the pc before that.
Nice job with the cleaning. The build is asking for a snowman cooler and some OCing on the cpu. I’d think it could use an exhaust fan in the back, as well. Then it would be ready for a better card, all the way up to say 1080 ti.
How would you OC a stock non K sku i7-6700 pretty much not, could only force it to always turbo to its max but not push it much further than that
@@genericchannel9448 hey, I thought it was the k, my bad.

The satisfaction of cleaning and turning it on
I love this series
Flawless Victory!!!!
Great work Brian!

Ikr you sound super excited lmao!!
Man the music on this one was just... 👌❤️🥺
*LOVE that HOUSE MUSIC during the clean !* What song is that ???
That sonic cleaner legit needs a seperate channel man. 😄
More satisfying than watching carpet steam cleaning.
Always nice to see filthy PC's get super cleaned. Surprised you don't just hose down dirty PC cases like Greg Salazar does.
This is your best work yet Bryan!!!! I love this man!
Tech yes ultra clean loving. Nice 👍
Ohhhh the good old HAFx
Nothing like waking up to TechYes uploading a vid. It's always a great breakfast video to watch
I’m getting Star Trek vibes from your outfit there!
Haf X or Haf 932. I had one of those cases in the past, what a beast
You have a great taste of music mate
Why don't you use a solvent in the parts washer? It would seem that solvent would reduce the chance of corrosion and would dry easier.
I'd love to see you pick up an old 486 or Pentium, clean it up and make a great retro DOS gaming machine.
Letting Bryan dive into AT hardware should be interesting.
What do you think about sticking some of the parts in an oven (say 120 F) to help dry it off???
Hi Bryan, re: that question of the day, I think they were referring to the cooler backplate, not the motherboard's I/O shield. I'd really like to know the answer to this question! I have often wondered how you get past this issue, as there are lots of mobos on ebay etc without the backplate included
When you and Greg are in TW, we're doin a cleanoff!
That’s some real tech yes lovin
A CPU cooler upgrade would have been a nice touch with the i7. I know it adds a little to cost however the reward will be worth it. I guess the same could be said for LED's.
love the series!!
Dang, I love your channel, man. What else can I say?
ıdk why but ı love
Tech YES City cleaning series , ı really enjoy seen dirty pc's getting clean
Brian is a wizard. Watch this somehow morph into an amazing gaming rig over the course of this video.
@Tech Yes City could we maybe get a music list ? That first track during the ultrasonic cleaning was fire !
Great work as normal Bryan, lovin that build... considering the state it was in, amazing what you can do and turn a profit!
I like how he took the stuff outside in the back, and then blew it out without closing the sliding glass door. 😄
Loving the deep electro House
Wouldn't soap and ultrasonic remove the lubrication from the fan shafts?
Yes it would. I would lubricate the fans with some sewing machine oil afterwards.
I still use the cooler master case 👍

Which ultrasonic machine did you get to fit motherboards? The 15L or the 10L? Thanks
What can go in the Ultrasonic cleaner, and what absolutely should NOT ?? I am thinking the optical drive, but what else!! Cheers
oh god is that the HAF case, dust central!
