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 😅
Pc cases from that time period were an absolute joy to work on. Everything fits in them great cooling and if you like hard drives. All the drive mounting you could want.
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.
Uhh, the Coolermaster V8😍 , it has 2 more screws at the bottom to release the fan. Had that beast of cooler for about 10 years on various PCs, last on a lga 2011 xeon.
I really watch all videos that is related to amd 8350. I gave my system to my gf and she is really happy using it for light gaming (valorant, lol, stardew valley). So happy to see my 12 years old pc rocking.
About power supplies and spare systems. 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.
Those kids looked thrilled to get their hands on a whole budget system. 5-10 years from now they can boast they got into desktop gaming on a AMD FX system.
Nice. Great to see more troubleshooting. Having 7900XTX issues not sure what might move it to it's old board but has been this week, Windows update or a driver update. Other rigs are working fine. Nice when we can play musical parts swap.
those old V8 coolers have bolts on the back plate of the motherboard that you can use a socket on to remove it without touching the screws, I had one on my old fx 8150
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.
Thank goodness it wasn't the sabretooth, I would have genuinely been upset.. (i've been trying to get one for the past 3 years but haven't stumbled across one for under $80 USD) Long live the 8350, Master of Clock speed and consumer of power I remember back in the day i got 4.8ghz on an 8350 with an MSI 970A motherboard and a GTX 1650 Super Back in 2021 it ran fortnite performance mode at 165-220fps with occasional dips to the mid 90s, absolute BANGER!!!
This follows my experiences exactly. Dead Corsair power supplies doesn't surprise me, while CoolerMaster PSUs that are 15 years old rock in like new. My old Silent M.2 1000w Silver CM from 2011 that's ran 24/7 is running strong, while I can't count how many dead Corsair AXi super expensive digital units I have, and online forums are filled with dead unit complaints too. I've never ever been keen on Corsair, and I don't rate their memory either
I recently had 2 separate old FX gaming pc's given to me and debating on upgrading to newer cases and reselling or using one for a home server and the other for my 5 year old who has been asking about a computer for him.
This was a great use of those parts. I like how you break it down to each part on the price, because you really are getting a bucket of parts with these old systems to use wherever you want
I finally fixed up my old X58 system (x5675, GTX 980, 12gb triple channel ram) for a friend to play Destiny and Fortnite. He is happily enjoying it which goes to prove, there’s no bad parts just bad deals. One tech enthusiast’s trash is another tech enthusiast’s gaming rig.
I flip pcs and have noticed that Corsair psu’s aren’t the best at least in my experience. I’ve had a few that either short or only power on for a short time even my personal rm750i only lasted 4 years I tend to buy EVGA units for my personal pcs nowadays.
I have a ton of dead Corsair PSUs, yet a lot of CoolerMaster mid range units from 2011 still going strong. I don't rate Corsair memory either, I've had a lot but it never overclocks and I've got quite a few dead sticks too, of "top-of-the-range" Dominator Platinum
I bought one of those cases new back in 2009 so they are pretty old. But that case looks in much better condition then mine which also houses a faulty PSU which is also from 2009 and wasn't even a good PSU when new.
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.
That gigabutt gtx780 was one of the best. The cooler was amazing for the time. I had the oc model and overclocked it loads and the cooler still kept it cool. 😎
buy a good psu they said. crap brands are bombs they said. I bought a corsair RM550 and one of the main capacitor popped. It was 5 years old. A tiny pinhole and burned liquids. I'm only pulling 240W max at the wall.
I've got a similar system but with ASUS M5A99X, works flawlessly but very occasionally on boot up it'll turn off straight away. Changed the PSU but the problem still persists. I'll be honest, I thought it might have been spiders web shorting the board out but watching this I'm thinking it's the mobo, I'll try your teardown technique. Thanks!
Great flip!, love your videos. I recently got a GTX 3060ti for cheap, it has been used in a humid environment and has some rust on the heatsink, any recommendations on how to clean it?
That is an ex-mining card. Rust on the heatsink and rear io shield of the card is the Hallmark of poorly maintained mining cards. How much did you pay?
Hello, I have recently been watching your videos and I would like to know if you know the brands AKASA and innova because I have two power supplies which are 550 w each. And if these brands are reliable and will last over time. Sincerely
I don't see what you see at the moment Bryan. Motherboards and CPUs here in DK are stupid. People want more for a platform with 5930k in it, than I can get a Ryzen 5 3600X+B450 combo brand new for... but full rigs are price rather low. So flipping here is hard atm. I have parts for 2 systems ready to go (haven't bought GPUs - thankfully) but can't find CPU-mobo combos to pair them with. It's a bummer! There's some banging deals on GPUs atm, but I'm afraid to purchase - cause I can't complete the flip... Should I just take the L, buy some platforms and get the systems flipped for very litte profit/small loss? Or hold?
I personally had 3 systems in the past year start to fail all do to motherboards. 2 of them were running intel core2quad extremes one has a gtx 780 and a bunch of hard drives the second one was my unraid file server both failed within a month or 2 of eachother tried new ps and ever tried as last ditch effert changing mem and cpu to a known good q6600 non extreme core2quad. im also having a problem with my sabertooth z87 motherboard not always booting without just gong into bios. i've tried updating bios moving my ssd's around onto other controller but it still randomly wont boot. Usually when I need to check something.
Nice clean up and putting that PC back in service is way better than the landfill. Love to see these types of vids Bryan! Around here the demand for $300-500 systems is high also. Lots of people want to game on PC and unfortunately so much of the marketing and FOMO out there has many convinced that you NEED a grand or more to get started. IMO used/new parts builds can be built as cheap as ever for 1080p gaming right now in the US anyway.
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've had a faulty PSU that would only turn on when plugging the 24pin connector in and out while tapping the powerbutton. Normally it wouldn't turn on so any kind of reboot was a pain. Motherboard probably recognized that it wasn't getting good power from corsair CX60 that I broke by cleaning the whole pc outdoors at -20C with compressed air and immediately plugged it back in when it was indoors
This comment is fascinating actually, so a motherboard that you connect the power switch to, wasn't booting from the motherboard, but then force feeding that 2 pin to the power supply and then it charging the motherboard works fine? I might try this on a board here that I know has a busted power switch on it.
This the question for the next video in my country gpus cpus motherboards are overpriced and in aliexpress those three are good deals but should i buy ssd and ram from aliexpress or not and since ssd and ram new in my country is kind good should i buy locally or not and thank you
damn 8350 is a throwback, I remember building a pc back in 2014 and debating on if i should get an fx 8350 or an i7 4790k. Went with the 4790k and used it for over 8 years! Still holds up decently in 2023 but I have a 12700k now. That entire PC set up is a great deal for ~$300 USD
Went through that exact decision process in 2014. I made the opposite choice and within a year was wishing I'd gone with the 4790K. But my FX-8350 still works.
Man I remember this Cooler Master "V8" cooler from back in the days. Calling a cooler V8 and giving it this appearance is so cheesy, it pretty much gets good again. :D
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.
Intel 4th gen still has a little life left in it, at least the overclockable variants have. I probably wouldn't pair them with anything above the Nvidia 10 series though.
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.
@@techyescity I have RMA ed the amd and ordered a 4060ti and will try that. Maybe you could highlight this problem more as the developers may not know the problem exists.
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
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 had one of these and i think i had the Sabretooth motherboard.....and i think that is one of the best motherboards i ever had, The cpu was not to bad for the time but AMD have come a long way since then
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.
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.
Perfect for competitive gaming on low/mid settings thanx to SSE4.2 in the FX and the 1070. Great budget build!
i would say it would be a stutter mess those old fx chips are horrible for competitive e spor titles
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 😅
@@komikop the 1 and 0.1 per cent lows are disgustingly low with these cpus.
Pc cases from that time period were an absolute joy to work on. Everything fits in them great cooling and if you like hard drives. All the drive mounting you could want.
14:37 I think a better motto would be 'turning that trash into cash'
Tech YES hustling, always the best
Yes! YES can fix it and squeeze blood from a rock.
Goblins unite!
Another great video Brian.

I have a FX8370 and 990fx Sabertooth mobo with 24gigs of ram I use as a media server.
Bri-daddy, you're the man! I had no idea you could boot a Mobo without the CPU connector. That's handy to know for future troubleshooting.

Those kids looked thrilled to get their hands on a whole budget system. 5-10 years from now they can boast they got into desktop gaming on a AMD FX system.
They can actually boast there's a whole YT video with thousands of views dedicated to their first PC.
hey Brian there is 4 screws either hex or Phillips head screws for the V8 cooler fan cover for it to come off. hope that helps
Would love to see more pc flipping videos ! Really enjoy them a lot
Nice. Great to see more troubleshooting. Having 7900XTX issues not sure what might move it to it's old board but has been this week, Windows update or a driver update. Other rigs are working fine. Nice when we can play musical parts swap.
those old V8 coolers have bolts on the back plate of the motherboard that you can use a socket on to remove it without touching the screws, I had one on my old fx 8150

I had the same exact CPU in the same exact motherboard years ago, along with a 980Ti
😊
980 Ti = 1070
Loving the classic banger quotes thrown in lol, been a while since i heard phatt bass
Love that content ! Make us more videos where you make someone's garbage become someone else's treasure please
It came out nice. Solid quick flip too.
Nice job on the fix. That was a dirty machine - nice job on the cleaning as well.

Nice video. Always fun to watch.
Ordered that PSU tester same one, you have through your link.
Love that case I have three of them.
Coolermaster v10 is so nostalgic.. had one when it was released all the back in 2009..
I bought one of those cases new back in 2009 so they are pretty old. But that case looks in much better condition then mine which also houses a faulty PSU which is also from 2009 and wasn't even a good PSU when new.
Thanks Bryan for the old memories. I explored space with that cpu. Good music, good jokes...inside! :) Out.
Good Video! Thanks😊
Damn I had no idea you change the brightness of your photos for listing, that's pretty good
I really like that older case. Looks great
Just love this channel so much! Giving used tech a new life and having a profit at the end of the day!
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.

Funny, had an FX8350 kill an EVGA GQ1000 as well. With exact symptoms.
I love your videos where you clean or deep clean PCs.
where did you get your power supply tester i am in need of one and can u do a video on how to test it how to read the testers results

@@Dale-TND I got it for USD 80 so I figured it was worth the risk. Its working perfectly except for the rust.
Try CLR rust remover, it works great on old PC cases and stuff like that so I assume it would work on heatsinks@@oddhap

Nice clean PC!
I loved this! Nice. More of diagnose and flip afterwards stuff please.

@@rangersmith4652 😂😂 I’m glad I made the right choice, and glad to see AMD has come a long way since then
Tech yes troubleshooting
try a big flat head driver
its crazy how since the FX era nothing changed much they keep nerfing every part and charging double triple
Man I remember this Cooler Master "V8" cooler from back in the days. Calling a cooler V8 and giving it this appearance is so cheesy, it pretty much gets good again. :D
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.
Intel 4th gen still has a little life left in it, at least the overclockable variants have. I probably wouldn't pair them with anything above the Nvidia 10 series though.
Xeon E3 chips are i7 class for 10-20 all day long. Swap in Xeon 1240v2 1240v3. Still have some life.
How do i buy pc parts from you sir?
1080p gaming pc. 😊
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)).
Yeah have seen it before. I even tried washing it and drying it too. Something is just gone on it.
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.
dat lian li case cost more than 100$ in my country :((
I used an FX8350 for almost a decade until I upgraded to an i3 12100f last year which is around 50% faster than the FX8350.
with a modern GPU it's more like 200% faster
@@blackknight50277621 Well I am currently using a 3060 Ti with it. Which I originally used a GTX 960 2GB card with my FX8350.
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.
I had to refund someone on a radeon build once due to this exact issue. only flip pcs with nvidia. And never had a problem with multi-monitor support.
@@techyescity I have RMA ed the amd and ordered a 4060ti and will try that. Maybe you could highlight this problem more as the developers may not know the problem exists.
That Lian Li case is probably worth close to $200 by itself to someone who wants to build a home NAS in a desktop form factor.
Isn´t the FX going to bottleneck the 1070?
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
Yes, bottleneck is huge.
Better suited card for this FX should be 970 or 1060.
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 had one of these and i think i had the Sabretooth motherboard.....and i think that is one of the best motherboards i ever had, The cpu was not to bad for the time but AMD have come a long way since then
the AMD fx8350 cpu doesn't have intergrated graphics
Love that case
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.
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.
Good on ya Bryan i have the same power supply tester there good that was a good deal with that one love it i have lots old stuff to
For Profit no, for charity or retro or collector Yes 😃
Personally, I would have swapped out the psu first.
