#Tokyo #Used #PCParts #TechYESCity
I visited Tokyo for a few days before COVID, the one thing I am always amazed about Japan is how clean the streets are even at populated places.
There are barely any garbage bins around either; take your rubbish home with you.
In Japan, not only urban roads but also rural roads are very clean
I think the only unpaved road is in the depths of the mountain...
Japanese people are very community minded and have great pride in their environment 👍😆
You've never seen the living streets on garbage pick up days. People throw the garbage on the curb side. They don't use bins instead just throw a net over .. the rats and crows pick apart and scatter the trash all over. Nothing clean about it. Wish they would learn about the wonders of the good old trust bin.
Janpara = Junk Paradise. I think.
I've noticed that stuff that gets sold as "junk" in Japan is often in good enough shape that it would get at least a B+ grade in the US.
Looks like the PC parts pendulum is swinging from the countryside back to Akiba.
Good to see the old Labi building near the station didn't stay empty and got put back to use as a Sofmap.
Haha thanks for letting me know that! Junk Paradise, except they guarantee a lot of the stuff :P
In my head I was like "Junk Para Para" I can see those para para dances in my head after finding those deals lolz. I can't wait for them to open it back up for tourists, I can prob get in on visiting relatives excuse, but I don't want to spend my chuuko deal money on required covid tests lol. I'm jealous Brian is roaming around Japan without having to deal with the crazy tourist crowds.
Japanese people are into recycling as far as I know, I've been to japan for more than 12 times (even though I'm 14) and yea people there take those srsly
also, yes people say its junk but its part of a marketing technique
@@_IC_XC Yeah. I think they price it as junk just to move it. I picked up an awesome film camera and lens for super-cheap that way. Nothing wrong with it, it was just old and not rare.
This company 'core stairs' you talk about? Doesn't sound like a big company if you ask me
I could've swore it was coarse hair?
@@doc_w4lrus886 No, I think it was corse air
@@Balkanboibg I thought it was Coors lair
I've heard of Coors light beer, is that what your talking about?
Thought it was horse chair, they're a pretty small new startup
Your channel changed my life when it came to pcs never have had a lot of money but thanks to you I have a pretty nice pc for cheap , with a e5 2640 v3 and a Gtx 1070 and 16gb of ram which works great for any game I play! So thankyou!
Good to see some part hunting from the other side of the world. I hope you're enjoying seeing your son.
well australia is like below japan.
@@giorgio5789 How do you know the guy who made this comment is in Australia ??
@@edwardfletcher7790 He doesn't and I'm not.
$15.32 for the most powerful pizza oven of 2012, nice!
Really appreciate you sharing these parts hunt, learning lots about the Japanese used market. How does the selling market compare Japan vs Australia?
Gotta start selling soon, not sure yet. Will keep you updated.
A new parts hunt already? What a treat!
Ahhh akihabara... used to be my 2nd home before going to my house everyday after university lol.. missed those places ..Natsukashi naaaaaa ~
I've always gone to Akihabara for retro gaming needs, but good to see the used PC side of things!
I'm also a big fan boy for Corsair products, thanks for the contents!
My pic was the Asus mobo!
FSP power supplies are great. They're actually the main OEM that EVGA uses.
FSP=Fortron=Quality
Wrong to correct you EVGA uses Super Flower.
@@zushikatetomotoshift1575 not anymore
Not all are great, there is no Brand that only sells good PSUs. FSP is a major OEM Power Supply Manufacturer, their Power Supplies gets gebranded by CoolerMaster, Antec and EVGA, while also having their Own Lineup of PSUs. Usually Companies have multiple OEMs Working on a PSU Lineup for the Brands named above, so technicially neither of you is Wrong. FSP and Superflower has been working for EVGA.
I am thoroughly enjoying your used parts excursions in Japan, mate! Thank you - that 980ti had me drooling for the price you got it for! Good to see what the used parts market is in other corners of the world! Hope you get to stay in Japan for as long as you want, please keep us updated in this if you get to stay as long as you like; we're rooting for you and your family!
PewDiePie just moved there too! And now you're there for a trip ! Sugoi
Really happy for you getting to be there with the kiddo. I can see the more relaxed demeanor in your videos. Keep the good stuff coming. Envy your time there.
Love the stripey hoodie Brian, rocking the Japan look. Peace out
As a fellow PC parts bargain hunter myself, I love these videos! Thanks for sharing, and keep up the good work. Personally I find the hassle of physically visiting Akihabara nowadays to not be worth it compared to Yahoo Auctions or Mercari. BTW, I would love to know more about how you get on with the selling/flipping side of things. Do you put the fully built PCs up on Mercari? Ebay? It'd be great if you could do a video on this aspect. Hope you enjoy spending time with your family!
I just scored myself a 6750XT for £559 UK Sterling new, its a really good price and I have waited so long to be even be able to buy a new card at near MSRP, this time last year 6700xt was £900+ if you was that very lucky person to snag one coz all was out of stock and over priced, delivered tomorrow from CCLONLINE STORE,
ALWAYS LOVE USED PC PARTS HUNTS AND WHEALTH OF INFO YOU GIVE IS JUST AMAZING
>Well, zip tie it! Woo!
>"Yeah, we're not zip tying this one, fellas."
That was such good timing. Lol. You said that exactly after I thought it.
15:46 its the same case for Indonesia aswell. lets say a 16gb ddr4 3600mhz ram kit costs ab 60-70$ in the us, in my country it would cost around 80-100$. its the same thing for ssds aswell but i mostly see the price jump on NVMEs.
so happy u can get back to japan to see your boy
Can't believe I missed this video in love these
Went there in 2005 for the first time, was very impressive area for tech
good deal on the heatsink/prism
I love how the yes man uses the term "eye-candy" when he talks about computer parts :)
Now you've motivated me to go have a look at these used parts stores while I'm here. I think 'para' is short for paradise, I've seen it in names of other types of used goods stores here.
Good thinking on the CM case, Tech Yes Thinking 🤣
I've repaired a few ATX PS, and it's usually the single starter capacitor - it's usually the only one that has bulged -.
I would love for you to talk about used peripherals market in japan especially too
Bryan definitely enjoying his time in Japan
Good video. Please show more of Japan. Lots of us are not likely to ever go there and are curious. Check radioactivity with a Geiger counter please: see if rumors are true.
Glad Vancouver isn't the only place with rain today 🤪
Akihabara is my Mecca.....
Corsair are an awesome company 👍
Tsukumo is great, I bought my very first digital camera from there in 1999, Kodak DC210 US$300, the local price in Australia at the time was US$870 !! I also got two 4mb CF cards for it for $10ea lol
Thanks for the Akihabara report. mb
O snap! Been a while since I've visited this channel & then suddenly you're back in Japan! Reminds me of the good ole time.
i got an evga gtx 580 in my first gaming pc. i loved it honestly i have it on my shelf i dont plan to sell it
OMG 18:37 there is a "intel DX4" CPU (my nostalgi-meter went over 9000) I had one like 20+ years ago...
Akiba is geek heaven. I miss it so much.
ahhh satisfaction, thanks again TYC missed this series, hope to see more
Awesome 🤩 video once again Bryan! Great deals on the GTX580/980Ti/i7-4770/TUF B550 mobo 🥳🤩🤯🥰
Got an awesome deal recently and msi x99s gaming7 and an 6800k for a 100€.
The Bundle was advertised as having a defect but from the description i could make out it only had some bios isuess. Got it up and running again within an hour.
So did ya get the 580 for a gpu collection? Sure not gonna be gaming on that lol. Well maybe old games with low res and lowest settings.
Good to see you back in Japan Brian, thanks for the video.
Bryan, "the DEALS" in mercari last about 30s before it gets sniped 😂
You have to skim and buy it real quick once it gets listed to secure one. Good luck!
The best hardoff in Aichi ken is in Nagoya Kukodoori 😉
Awesome, another PC hunt in Japan.
nice to see what JP offers
i thought i was just a legend... i proceed to scroll down
秋葉原最終処分場is a good place too. The only thing is they sell stuff for cheap, but there is no guarantee it will work. It is fun if you're only buying cheap stuff, but when an expensive thing doesn't work, it kinda hurts your wallet.
Yeahhhhh,he strikes back@Tokyo
Back to the place where every computer parts store is Brian's favourite computer parts store
Bryan just glowing in the vids. Happy for ya mate!
About a year ago I flipped an entry level gaming pc [i7 3770 16GB] with a GTX 580 in it. The client plays mostly roguelike games and is still happy with it even when I offered a GPU upgrade a few months ago.
I'd be interestd too in seeing new benchmarks with the recent Spectre and Meltdown updates!
good content! while there may be good deals on used GPUs... over here in the States brand new GPUs are available for MSRP!!! EVGA 3060... 339, 3060ti... 429 etc. same goes for AMD as well. They been pretty much back to normal for the past month or two. I have 2 Microcenters near me, both 15 min away in diff directions, such a great store for all your PC needs.
Part hunting at its best! Woo-Hoo! Bargains are awesome!
Interesting parts hunt. What about DenDen Town in Osaka ? It used to have a reputation of being slightly cheaper than Tokyo but I don't know if that is still the case. edit: Researching online suggests a lot of electronics places have gone to be replaced with more Otaku culture type stuff.
Hey Bry. Those AM4 brackets are something like 7 bucks shipped here in the US on Amazon and I have a feeling they probably cost half that just to get here. haha
Yeah shipping costs in australia and the US would be going up like crazy, bad 'ol inflation.
The flickering lights and things are due to a difference in frequencies between camera and the things. I.e. 50hz vs 60hz
I'm seeing a very happy Yes man and I love it :)
Honestly was not familiar with FSP, but apparently comparable to SeaSonic, make high quality PSUs for quality brands (?)
I managed to get a i7 - 4771 for about 60 usd from that Sofmap. Tsukumo and Sofmap are my go to stores when I'm in the area (I live in Yokosuka). Would have also been cool if I could have met up with you Brian!
are you using a Samsung phone for this video? how were some of the video footage?
I love your passion Bryan, pls cover this spectre bs. I loved the psu price, that was my fav.
hey Brian, do you mind if you show a min or so of Japan at the end of your show. just like to see a little more of it if it's not too much trouble. thanks
Loving the content and energy as always Bry man! Really looking forward to putting some budget bangers together again.
Miss this stuff! Great Video!
Loved the vid! What will be the use case for the gtx 580? What's she up to in these days?
You killed it Brian.
your dope at what u do i stay watch when i can
Enjoy your stay in Japan
So weird to see the Sega building without it's signage
The tax off thing is very nice!
15:50 You must get good deals for DDR3 on the Gold Coast. Elsewhere people are selling for stupid money.
Wow man awesome deals!
yes do some performance testing on spectre and melddown updates again! love this videos :)
Is it ok to bulk buying videocards in Akihabara? Specifically gtx 980ti/ 1080ti
great content as always, i'm new to your channel but been watching a handful. Really like your Japan content which I think was a bummer for me to not bother look for these hardware when I was there back in 2019...
Subarashii brian as always !! gambatte mate !!
I miss Japan specially akihabara.
If you are still in Akihabara, try visit at: 秋葉原最終処分場。
Love your channel watching it from an about 2015 and still like it. You have a lot of interesting info about the Hardware and useful tips. But your strongest part :) is videos about shopping in Japan and Asia it is something special if you ask me :D. Wish you all the best and keep it up!
What camera are you using amazing video quality 😮
GPU prices here are coming down a little, but they haven't changed for a while. They look cheap to people from outside because USD recently rose to 130 yen a dollar, but for people here, the prices are relatively unchanged.
Those Wraith Prisms came from BTO PC (basicly gaming prebuilt) and since it has no CPU with it there is no warrenty. so they are labeled as Junk because they cannot have warrenty since they are not sold as just coolers, but a part of CPU package.
dospara near me has a bunch of 1tb m.2 nvme ssd for 8.5k yen, pretty sure that's a good price. I've bought two lately for two builds that I am building.
500w PSU for a 980ti build feels a little tight. Mine pulls 300w+ with an overclock!
Bro you should hit up Pewdiepie and build him a PC he’s stuck using a laptop in JP
lol ok ill drop him a comment.
Man!!! What a place to get some pc gear!!! Good vid and update!!!
Can you use a Power Supply bought from Japan in Australia? I thought the voltage is v different......
Oh I miss Akihabara, have you visited Nakano? Also if you're big fan of spicy ramen, check out Jimon in Koenji.
Here in Ohio (US) i can find 16gb of dual channel DDR3 foe less then $40 (even on ebay) so I'd say that was a pretty good deal
That really good
Great deal on the GTX980Ti 👍😀 they are double that on ebay france
DDR3 prices have been on the rise for some time here in europe, especially if you want some decent speeds.
Great Video
yoo when did u went there? would love to visit tokyo one day
I wish you lived out here I need a gaming PC so bad mine stop working. Had an AMD FX 8370 and a GTX 980
What are you doing with these PCs? Are you listing them for sale? Have you sold any? Curious. I wouldn't think shipping the deals back to Australia would be worth it. So, what are you doing with the PCs you build?
10:50 I just paid $75 for an MB311L at the Micro Center in Baltimore.... And they have pretty much the exact case in Japan, for less than half the price. lol
I am actually sitting on a GTX 560 Ti that I got from my mother's friend just cannot use it on my OEM PC so have to wait till I can make a whole custom build with a motherboard that can fit it.
Hi Tech, I'm having some issue, my H80i v2 rad fans just spontaneously ramp up to max speed after 15-20mins of gaming.
this wasn't a thing before with my old pc and wasn't a thing in this new pc with the 5600x, 3060ti, gigabyte b550m aorus elite for the first few weeks, granted its summer time so ambient temp is 40*C but the msi afterburner doesn't show any change in temp even if the fans ramp up to max... hangs around ~60C but if YT is running in the background it jumps to around ~67C... any ideas?
Sounds like a dead pump on your AIO. My friend had to RMA his Corsair H100i twice due to the pumps dying.
@@twokillabytes3693 I don't hear or see any signs that my pump is dead...
ICue is showing pump is at 900-1700rpms when free and underload respectively... my coolant temp are 36C right now and they bump up to 39.4C underload.
@@mab2187 Maybe the fan setting has changed in the software. I have mine set to quiet but they do ramp up at times to maintain. It could also mean that you're putting more load on your cpu. Running any new software in the background?
@@TerraWare my fans are also set to quiet, they ramp up to normal speeds but after like 20 mins or so they go full jet engine, and when i stop gaming they come back down to quiet, when i go back to gaming tho again it they go full jet engine after 15-20mins... doesn't matter if I'm doing anything else in the background like Google or just all things close and gaming. MSI afterburner is on tho cus my 3060ti is undervolted-I doubt this is the cause cus I've tried with afterburner closed too...
@@TerraWare When google is playing a video, depending on the video CPU usage goes up and temps go up from ~20% usage to 30%, respectively ~60C-67C. In the background ofcourse during gaming.
i got that wraith prism for my ryzen 5 1600 af for 24 bucks from a local guy and it ocd to 4.1ghz and it doesnt go past 50 degrees for me so i have no issues with it
How did you get into Japan? Looking to visit from aus but weren’t borders closed?
The B550 mobo is an excellent deal
