@@fVNzO Yeah, here in New Zealand people over use the word: 'Obviously' at the start of almost every sentence. It gets tiring to listen to. Our Rugby and Netball stars do it a lot.
good to see more Aussie techtubers in the Computex scene, and especially with you providing even further content that not many other channels did in Taiwan thanks for sharing the experience, hope you have an absolute blast over there and stay safe
As always enjoying the scrapyard, and bargain hunts. So many videos over such a short timespan is insanely cool. Awesome you put your support crew in the finale. Hate to see the trip come to an end, get some rest and maybe take a little vacation.
Those scrap yards are right up my ally, as I always make sure to check e-waste bin when I'm at my local county recycling drop off, thankfully I never have to pay, just be quick about it, and don't get hurt👍
the X99 board + Xeon for that price is definitely my favourite deal you got. X99 is such a good platform still, that good I even use it as my main - 5930K/RX 480
Finding that much LGA1150 goodness is lucky. The G3258 anniversary Pentium and i7-5775C were the only times Intel were thinking outside the box at all during the dark decade of them rehashing the same 4core rubbish over and over and they were both LGA1150. Haswell also fixed the hyperthreading bug that Sandy and Ivy bridge had where no longer the i5 would beat the i7 in certain workloads and games so it was the first time an i7 was the best buy. This all makes LGA1150 the hardest motherboards to track down.
Great entertaining and educational video! I remember back in my hometown, in the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴, when I was around 12 i had my first computer, it as a slim Compaq with slim CD DRIVE, pentium 3 ~800 MHz, 256MB RAM AND 10 GB HDD. I went to this place where they sold everything you can think of, and I got myself a 64MB graphics card. It was So special because I was learning how to “fix” 😂 computers. My dad bought me the Graphics. I started earning a bit of cash here and there after having my PC.
That first scrap yard looks a lot like one you went to a few years ago? The X 99 seems like an amazing deal. Speaking of the X99 mobo there was a sticker on it I think it was HUANANZHI. Newegg here in the US has new versions for sale by the same company. Thanks for sharing Bryan.
Both my kid's machines have H81M boards in them, and they have for...good lord, since they were brand new! Amazing motherboards, been upgraded CPU and RAM wise over the years, solid performers, so I'm going to go with those for my favorite picks.
its the bios batery that causes most damage to boards when wet - the 2011 floods in se qld showed so much damage just from electrolosys. amazing how much damage a 3v cell can do.
Man those Asus h81 matx boards that you picked up I made a killing on back in the day. Used to buy them off of chinese parts sites for 20 dollars shipped to my house and paired it with an i5 4590 or 4690 and whatever graphics card I could get at the time. I still have a couple people I sold them to that are using them to this day and they are still getting what they need out of them. Man I love TYC parts hunts like this
💯 the GPU is crazy good. I am keeping an eye out for a smaller 3060 12GB and they are easily $250+ used here in the US. I am also curious what Xeon you ended up with. I am a BIG fan of x99/2011v3
Wow, some awesome deals there. It takes time to sift through the trash and reach the treasure. And that 3060 12Gb - jealous. I'm looking at one of those for my Blender box. I fried my last video card.
Oh man, next time I'll go with you guys for sure. Marco asked me if I wanted to go, but since it was my first time in Taiwan I wanted to take the time to just be a tourist for a couple of days. But now that I see this, I kinda regret it, haha. Cheers my man!
The best deal? That X99 board with the Xeon! I have the same board over here, unfortunately a faulty USB stick broke it. But this board should handle the 18 Core monster 2696 v3 just fine.
Used parts will always be easier to sell because if something happens its just that one part which you got for cheap. Buying whole used rigs on the other hand has to many chances for the buyer to get burnt. If the seller is small time and doesnt have any reputation for selling top tier long lasting pc's then the price will be barely worth it.
Here in New Zealand, on TradeMe, some used PC parts sell really well individually, but not as whole systems. So it's better to buy bulk deals and sell the valuable parts off separately.
Would you overclock i7 4770k on that H81 mobo you mentioned? There e are not much phases there, iirc there are 3 chokes...no heatsinks on vrms...so just from your perspective of much more experienced builder, will you OC or you'll leave it stock? Doesn't really matter if it's i74770k or i5 4690k...or does it? I mean they are not 200W+ cpus so it should be fine, maybe? Another thing, just an observation, I always liked those M variants of mobos with 4 slots for ram. 2 was good but 4 was squeezing a year or two more of usage just because of ram capacity
The i5 4590 is the best deal for that socket and performs almost identically to the 4670. Solid choice for the uber-budget builds you'd be doing nowadays with that socket. I don't think the hyper-threading of the i7 really gets you that much when you're talking about the overall limitations of that gen.
Definitely depends on the game but having 8 threads can really help out in some modern games, especially on the 1 and 0.1% lows. Plus its really hard to flip a pc with a 4-threaded i5 nowadays lol. If 4th gen i7s are reasonably priced where you live its definitely worth it over any of the i5s. I used a i5-4690k for a few years and I decided to upgrade because of the micro stuttering that would happen in some demanding games.
Those aren't bad deals, I run an i7 4770 with an RX 580 (close to GTX 1060) and I still can run all modern games at 1080p with good frame rates. If you bundle a whole gaming PC you could maybe charge 300$ USD? It's not that spectacular but I guess you consider it worth.
I'd wash them with detergent and water, then rinse with distilled water and dry it thoroughly. The compressor works reasonably well, but doesn't get the grime. Ion water is better than Pocari Sweat if you can get hold of it. :) That is hella cheap though.
Brian, please come back to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). You would be surprised by the flood of used GPU here ATM. Also, there are a lot of Intel chipset 115x combos here as people are dumping their old DDR3 system to upgrade to DDR4 and DDR5.
Love your videos man. Just don’t fully understand your whole flip process. I want to be doing this myself. Any suggestions would be welcomed from you. I’m in the US.
the best place to look for used pcs is father or brother workplace, you will find 4th and 5th gen cpu s thrown out because the IT guy just doesn't want to hear any complaints
howdy. this has been a pain to me as i've built a computer for my nephew coming in ph. i got it to work for weeks and it started showing problems [nvme brand new] in which i was able to resolve. 6 months down the line, the single stick of 16gb ram died. in which in turn i temporarily replaced with non matching ram [1x8gb 2400mhz 1x4gb 2133mhz] ddr4 memory. i know that it should work fine for more than a month. recently and as i tried using msi's xmp profile [b450m mortar max with r3 2200g], it has been throwing a lot of bsod, worst, it no longer boots. ram sticks works fine alone as i have a back up mobo that aint mine, just for testing. am waiting for my new sticks of ram in the mail and hopefully and properly diagnose this matter. any thoughts [basic trouble shooting is done 10x already it does boot up once but it no longer boot the second time]?
It was fun dumpster diving with you!
I'll catch you in another trip very soon. Peace out for now...Bye
Dude! It's you again!
Why did I read it in Bryan's voice in my head?
It's... bye? I always thought he said "bae". 😂

Marco is the true OG when it comes to Taiwan parts hunt! ✌️
Thanks!
Had a blast being part of this parts hunt! Until next time brother!
That x99 for 16$ was a crazy deal. Even the Chinese x99 boards cost at least 80$ for a decent one.
it could be faulty though
good to see more Aussie techtubers in the Computex scene, and especially with you providing even further content that not many other channels did in Taiwan

Good score Bryan.
Good to see Marco back in the channel helping you out again.
Stay safe and have fun over there. 👍
Mon
The 3060 and x99 mobo were an absolute score
Hell of a deal on that X99 and 10-core Xeon.
I love how even if you're there for Computex you still have time for a parts hunt... 👍😁
I love doing it man, it's the reason I got into even making tech videos in the first place :p
Great record on the shirt! (And great LP cover.)

Thanks for all the Computex content, glad you were successful on your parts hunt.
I love this so much! Awesome as always!
I don't think that's a scrap yard. That's a freakin gold mine 😮
I live in Taiwan and I just learned about this place. Wow thanks!
Loved the x99 combo purchase. I am still running x99 platform myself and it still performs good. Thanks for the awesome content.
To be honest, it's complete trash tho

It's a good card in that price range. Still using one, 12 gb model.
Wow, some awesome deals there. It takes time to sift through the trash and reach the treasure.
And that 3060 12Gb - jealous. I'm looking at one of those for my Blender box. I fried my last video card.
Brian you are awesome my favorite deals are all of them. YOU ALWAYS SCORE ON YOUR PC PART HUNTS YOU HIT THE GOLD MINE ON THIS HUNT.

I'm true to my word!
I’d love to visit some scrapyards like this.
Gives a whole new meaning to the word dumpster diving.
So good seeing Tech Yes and Marco part hunt in Taiwan! 😁
Thanks!
The best deal? That X99 board with the Xeon! I have the same board over here, unfortunately a faulty USB stick broke it. But this board should handle the 18 Core monster 2696 v3 just fine.
The Xeon for sure !
You can buy fully working used 4th - 6th gen used office workstations for ~30-40.
The used part market is hot right now. But I’ve noticed it’s harder to sell the used PCs at a reasonable price. Same in aus?

That would be so much fun.. I would loose my mind in a place like that. cheers.
Always good when you're able to find some good deals while you're in a place for another reason.
Did you see the GN silicone mat in the Taiwan shop?
Liking this kind of content abroad :) Im curious how it works with import tax
Nice work !
Epic scrap yard run!
3:04 is that a Gigabyte X58A-UD7 rev 2.0? It's very similar.
I know that tune at the end! That's Sullivan King

What great deals at that second place!
I can not believe the deal you got on that 3060. Incredible
Is the opening shot of the open fire an omen? Hmmmm🤔
4th Gen REPRESENT! Still a solid performer! Got a 4770k on an Asus Z97-E USB3.1 Pro...love it!
Maybe this was never asked before but how much do you pay for customs to bring them inside Aussie?
We like to see you in Greece.. parts hunt.. episode 🎉
i dont know why i love these videos when i know that i can never have a chance to go to taiwan , japan to buy some cheap pc parts
deeeemmmmmm.... this is like heaven to me
Are there any PC part shops website to place online order from taiwan?

4core no HT is a nogo, just get a cheap xeon for 30 usd.
Marco the legend! haha
good job !!
Defs the X99 one, still a real neat platform to this day!
I'm extremely sorry but didn't you put out a video about an antec ATX case? I can't find it on your channel, why is that?
Marco & +10 Paladin aura FTW!
Dude, love it, just like hard rubbish back in Aus.
You should take all the key labels and resell em as windows keys :)
Tiny 10 23h1 x64 (NTDev) - vs - Micro Win 10 LTSC (Ted T361) ?
Love your optimization videos but it's a lot of work to get it done right.

Great deals, and there's still profit in it for the sellers
Me drolling watching this kind of video of you Sir cuz im still using my 3rd gen Core i3 with a 2gb GTX 1050 as my gaming machine 😂
X99 Mobo+ CPU was a really good deal.
Are these usually just flipped? I can’t imagine buying this many PC parts and having room to store all of them.
TECH YES Marco parts hunt

THAT OUTRO LMAO

3060 12gb for $180 that's a sweet deal brother 😊
Oh, Bryan,you didn't got my tweet, about some retro hardware???
Bummer.
Is this price in USD dollar or Taiwan dollar?
the best place to look for used pcs is father or brother workplace, you will find 4th and 5th gen cpu s thrown out because the IT guy just doesn't want to hear any complaints
You guys need to get a car next time and clean up even more. Marco is like a demon when he is in transit mode.
