      It'll play most fairly well TBH. They definitely struggle a bit with CS2, but my old 8350 did really well with Rocket League and League of Legends and Splitgate, MCC. a lot actually. I haven't used it in a while though since I made a new battle station from the ground up. Don't sleep on the FX 😅

    Another great video Brian.
    I have a lot of experience in building PC's with new parts, but little experience with buying used parts.
    Your advice helped me help my daughters girlfriend purchase a second hand pc for a great deal. The guy wanted $650 Aussie for it, but did take an offer of $550 cash. The system looks new, and has great specs for the price.
    Specs are.
    CPU - Ryzen 5600x 6 core 12 threads
    ASRock B450M mb
    Cooler - Silverstone 240 liquid cooler
    Ram - 16gb ddr4 3200mhz
    Storage 1 - 256 gb m.2
    Storage 2 - 500 GB HDD
    Graphics card - rx 580 8gb
    Darkflash - Pink case glass side panel
    PSU - 550 watt 80 plus rated
    Fans - 6 fans very cool
    Rgb - Darkflash rgb
    Windows - 10 Pro activated
    WiFi - usb wifi included
    Power cable included.
    My daughters girlfriend is more than happy with her new pc.
    Looking forward to your next video Brian.

    I luckily always have an extra system at hand, and also had a similar dead short power supply fault a few months ago. However, that was on a recently upgrade system, with the psu mobo and cpu being barely 2 weeks old.
    I generally just keep my old system around to use as a server.

    Thank you for sharing your experience and positivity. Recently I had interesting experience with ASUS ROG Strix x470 board it refused to post with XFX Quick 6600XT in top PCIE slot, I thought it was a old BIOS version but it never booted despite putting in it the 2080 which was there before and it boots right up. Only if you move the 6600XT in other PCIE slot it immediately works despite it working in the other z390 board no problem.

    Thats the thing when buying used. You get all the problems that come with older hardware. And something people often don't consider. Like when you replaced the PSU but then the fan was being weird that kind of thing. It begins to feel like one problem after another. And any value you might have gotten is quickly lost through time and money spent fixing it. It's not always like that ofc but it does happen. Just gotta know what your buying.

    I've had the 500 watt CX500 since 2015 in my FX8350 PC, and it's still running fine. I upgraded to the FX8350 in 2019, and I've added an RX 570 since. I realize it's pretty old stuff, but it has worked pretty well for me. I'm hoping to upgrade in the next year. I even got the FX8350 to run on the M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 with a BIOS update Asus provided back in the day. The chipset and power delivery are capable of handling the AM3+ CPU, and have worked fine with it for over 4 years now. Windows 10 is running fine without issues. So a motherboard from 2009 is doing pretty well. I wonder if a modern motherboard, at the cost they go for now, would be so robust and long-lifed. Here's hoping for when I upgrade.

    Weirdest issue I had with a PC was when it's unplugged it wouldn't turn on anymore. I had to wire the reset button directly in to the green and black 24-pin cable of the power supply to make it work. Getting a new motherboard would have cost too much. It still works to this day!

      I have a CoolerMaster 212+EVO on my FX-8350. I bought it when they were having a mail in rebate so it only cost $15. I added a spare 120mm CoolerMaster bulk case fan for a push-pull config since the 212+ comes with an extra bracket for just that purpose. True, it doesn't look as "cool" as the V8, but it has kept my FX-8350 cool for 11 years now and cost a lot less.

    That's cool, and it was neat that you showed the process of diagnosing the issue. That kid is gonna have a blast messing around with the fixed up system.
    But I see _a lot_ of 2nd hand PCs from around this era (intel 3-4th gen), and I really wonder whether there's any point keeping these systems in rotation, or if they're waste. They really are more than a decade old at this point, and newer stuff isn't _that_ much more expensive. Where I am, for the equivalent of maybe 150 AUD more, you start seeing Ryzen 2nd gen, Nvidia 30 series, etc. which probably have a real shot of running a few more years instead of needing to be upgraded almost immediately.

    To quickly check the startup of the power supply, a regular paper clip will do - just connect the green (PS_ON) and any black (COM or GND) contact of the 24-pin connector (use “ATX PSU Pinout” if all the wires of the psu are black). And it’s strange to be surprised at the failure of the hi-end PSU model, considering that they have a bunch of all-round protections. I'm almost sure that the power supply from the video will be able to start forcibly (bypassing the supervisor (short FPO and GND)).

      PSU paper clip jump start is always a thing I do also. Allot of the old school psu's needed to have a power out signal to turn on, I still hook up a single fan to a psu when testing. The fan in the psu is connected to the board.

    How do you check that the graphics cards work fully? almost all reviewers just seem to get a card, connect to one port and run fps on a bunch of games but hardly anybody checks dual or 3 monitor setups. My brand new rx7700xt runs perfectly on one monitor but add a second one a glitches appear. I am not the only one just a quick check pulls up problems multi monitor with intel arc as well.

    Isn´t the FX going to bottleneck the 1070?

    • @jacksonbtb571
      @jacksonbtb571 Рік тому

      In my experience, yes it can depending on the game. I've only had one FX system, it was a 6-core, and it definitely bottlenecked the GTX 1060 i had paired with it. Maybe the 8 core FX chips are a bit better, but the architecture is just so laggy in general it doesn't really matter how high you overclock it or how many cores it has

    • @franzbeckenbauer242
      @franzbeckenbauer242 Рік тому

      Yes, bottleneck is huge.
      Better suited card for this FX should be 970 or 1060.

  • @stratuvarious8547
    @stratuvarious8547 Рік тому

    Given how badly the FX chips stutter, I'd avoid them, older i5 and i7s will always work better. But, I'm sure there are many out there who are interested in older, quirky tech than I am.

      I love the late 2000s aesthetic, and was chasing down some cases I wanted. I got a Lanboy Air, Corsair C70 and a Super Lanboy. Unfortunately, the Super Lanboy doesn't have it's front fan grill, but I figured I could 3D print something to replace it. The C70 is a bit beat up, but I think that adds to the look of that particular case.

  • @Conenion
    @Conenion Рік тому +1

    IMO it actually speaks /for/ the PSU to immediately shut down instead of giving out random voltages or voltages that are too high thus destroying the mainboard. Something I'd definitely expect from a brand PSU like this one from Corsair.
