- Last episode we NAILED the cheap gaming pc setups, and managed to turn that $270 AUD into a smooth $600, though I hear you, and we subtracted $80 for gas. And we have an interesting middle ground that we will power through, though difficulties and hurdles still await.

00:00 Recap of last episode and sales.... and I got the BEST deal already?
03:03 A cheap power supply makes an appearance, how can I say no?
03:44 A possible deal, with one complication
04:38 Stock up while they are cheap!
06:16 Testing monitors quick and easily, things I look out for.
08:57 A new day, new prospects, many GPU prospects.
10:05 leslie has some clutch cheap deals that I can take advantage of.
13:01 an rx 570 complete deal.
16:39 Easy stock up deals.
17:41 need a case and ssds, putting out feelers
18:00 16GB of DDR4 for the original 2 pcs

21:36 Waking up from a literal headache to a metaphorical one.
22:15 a HP power on password with an extra firmware chip... ugh...
23:01 when you get hosed it's always the same excuse from the seller, jumping over hurdles... He even got wins (apparently before the GPU died).

27:52 the RX 460 goes hard in fortnite and cs2!

This is the longest dedicated video I have edited on the channel(!), hope you guys enjoy it! Just don't get hosed, especially while you are watching!
I never get hosed when I watch Tech YES City.
Loving the series! You're inspiring me to flip some of my old gear and see what I can build.
Actually think Nerdonabudget's UPS testbed setup would be perfect or at least getting a live test of the GPU before you leave. Great work, Guess for me I see those missing/damaged fanblades as a huge red flag potentially. Would actually like to see more on testing used GPUs. Most of my stuff was my old gear shuffled around so it is interesting to learn more.
Very nice episode again!
Unfortunately i am not surprised the one get you hosed is a turkish guy. I am sorry on his behalf brother.
If the part is working like he said. He should be more than happy to have it back after just 1 day
Well in the sellers mind Bryan fried the card by using a 1000w power supply and other parts than the one's he sold to him. Broken logic, uninformed or full of shit, idk at least it was a cheap card and not a 3080 or something like that.
@@MrNota500 thats now how that works.. however bryan can more than get a voltmeeter and do some testing on it. could have been working just fine and just died at the moment. the broken fan vibration could mean a broken joint.. a 1000w psu can never send 1000w to a gpu. psu has safety in place. if the psu took out the gpu it will take out other things well. bryan try heal gun on it?
@@hafeez387Thats why he said in the sellers mind
Yeah, I think getting a portable setup like Nerd on a budget is a good idea! I know how you feel about that confrontation and whatnot... at a certain point, it's no longer worth it... even though you're out some money. :/
I love his portable testbed, truly a great idea if doing a lot of this.
think the Nerd has a UPS with a lead acid battery?... Recommend getting a portable Solar Generator with a Lithium battery. Make sure it has a pure sine wave inverter with enough watts to power any system, then get the amount of battery you need for running time...
I'm not a sales person, but the Bluetti AC180 would be a great portable setup! I do own a bluetti EB3A and its great for my work laptop.
Yeah use some lifepo4 cells to make battery affordable that can run powerful parts for long time. Eve makes good lifepo4 cells so making 12v battery from them is good idea. @@rizzo529
Oh man we got a half hour marathon. Actually really appreciate the longer videos with this type of content.
It's the feeling that somebody has hosed you that is (in my brain) ten times worse than the money involved. Totally agree with you on that.
It's not the money it's the morale of it. Guy literally knows it doesn't work but sold it anyways. I sold my 1080ti a few years ago and met a guy that had a mobile setup. Unfortunately for his setup it didn't boot my 1080ti. So he had my number and bought it,I told him if it didn't boot I will happily take it back, because I knew it worked perfectly,guy took it home on his rig it booted np and he was very happy.
He hosed himself buying stuff without testing. Also he is flipping these PC's for ridiculous profits so its not like he's a person of high character.
@@user-mh4wx1qt6z are you in his brain ? GTX 1080 can pimp any PC, sell it for $500 !
worth, nothing at all, who needs it ? Australian deal only !
@@wandameadows5736 lol tell us you're jealous without telling us you're jealous.
I cant believe he tried to blame you for frying it, using a 1000w power supply.. I guess he didn't realize he was messing with the TECH MASTER and you don't play that shit 🤣Also you should get one of those Electric Portable Generators to put it the Tech Mobile with a mini ITX pc so this doesn't happen anymore bro
oh yeah was completely laughable the excuses the dude came up with lol, it's always the same tune though with scammers.
@@techyescity funny thing this man name was Burak, and in polish language this word means: he is a beet.
Coincidence? :)
@@franzbeckenbauer242in filipino Burak means the black dirt you get in the sewers. 😂
These videos are superb
32:36 imagine the look on his face if you were to throw an inverter in your trunk along with your test rig and test that card on site lmao
Love seeing the ups and the downs of pc parts hunting, especially since its not only your money but your trust that's gone... i got hosed on a 3700x, still hurts, but still going strong with them deals!
Was it a built PC or the CPU itself that you bought? What was wrong with it?
@@HGNanodude long story short, gambled on a 3700x that had missing pins that only affected ram, sent it to service to solder on the pins, the cpu worked perfectly and detected the missing ram earlier and at full speeds too, but the cpu just immediately died after running a benchmark, and is just fried after being perfectly repaired.
This was a fun watch. The two PCs for $100 each was such an awesome deal; the case & hardware & drives, so great. I don't think I'd ever find that kind of a deal.
Best series on YT at the moment
Yeah i wouldnt touch any graphics card that looks damaged/fans worn out as it might leed to an intermittent fault or completely inoperative. Hope you get these builds sold asap! waiting for the next episode 😀😀
Especially the RX 5XX series!!
This series is pretty chill to watch
More quality videos from my favourite Tech Tuber. Hope you have a good Xmas Bryan 👍🏻
On the parts hunt. Living through this vicariously.
gotta love this series! been waiting for episode 3 👍
Love that you brought this back. I'm in the process of flipping 2.5 pc's in my journey to buy a new car 😅 this gives me the motivation to keep going. I've always owned a used car that's 10-15 years or so old and at 3-4 owners in.
I got hosed on a "gaming pc" from fb market, long story short. It was the ryzen 5 3600 being toasted like the previous video you talked about on 3600's dying.
Man, I can't wait to see more of this series! It's so addicting! Keep it up brother!
For the mobo with password and bios. It seemed that you just need to remove the jumper from that CMOS-PWD pins and then turn on. Then put them back on.
Tried removing pins, it didn't work.
Bummer that didn’t work. Definitely worked on my HP mini - pull cmos battery and the bios jumper and reboot.
Was just wondering if there was a new episode - uploaded 1 minute ago - YES! I'm so hyped to see where this is going. You and Greg Salazar are my favorite tech channels, with this and fix or flop (btw would love to see you do that as well, plus clean up some rigs!)
LOVE this series, thanks for keeping it up!
This kinda content is why you're amazing. You haven't lost touch with reality at all. I feel like the 'high end' PC Tech UA-camrs don't understand that the grand majority of PC Gamers aren't rocking 7800X3Ds and RTX 4080s. They also don't seem to understand that Z790/X670 mobos are way out of range of the majority of the world and refuse to use anything reasonably priced off Aliexpress. Thank you bro, I love your channel.
Bryan I love your videos and what you are doing, providing value to your customers with bargains! I'm finding it more difficult to find flip up deals here in Toronto. It seems as though the used market is priced high in my area. I guess i just need to start looking deeper. Happy holidays !
Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos Brian a pleasure to watch 🙂
love this series!! keep up the good work mr yes man
(1) I love this channel and the content - fantastic work brother!
(2) If you are hunting for local deals for PC parts ALWAYS ask for proof of functionality prior to buying the components unless you have a setup to test components in the trunk of your car.
(3) If you are selling parts locally, include pictures/videos of the product working as intended. Establish that buyer-seller trust relationship.
Great video. Showed us compete transparency through the entire experience
Awesome video, love this series.
Love ur vids, I am tempted to try this myself.
yeah the boot test setup is dope, should definitely set one up
Love this series
loving thid series so far
Thanks to you, i got myself a burning desire to build a budget PC again. Yesterday picked up i3-9100, Asus Z390, 480gb ssd and 16gigs of corsair ddr4 just for 120€ (~195AUD, google told me). Tomorrow i will pick up rx580 and then i need only PSU. Greetings from Finland. Can't wait to see episode 4
My favorite series on the tube
Legendary! The best used parts content on the internet! Tech yes citizen here
I love this series . More !!! MORE !!
I love this series as well as your other videos, but really enjoy this the most. I used to do this myself before I started driving over the road.
I bought a pair of 27” 1080p 75Hz Dell monitors from my buddy for $100 usd. He’s barely used them and even though I don’t need them at all, I have quite a few 32” monitors already, but it helped him out and you can never have too many monitors.
I love this content with the used parts hunt and although I feel bad for you being hosed - it does make for interesting and relatable content!! keep it up
When I watch Tech YES City, I never meet unlucky!
NOAB and Tech Yes the GOATs of deal hunting. made my day when you mentioned him
These are great, It's also fun to guess where you are driving around to in the videos haha
Absolute Bangers.
Free monitors was the best deal, well done, sorry u got robbed from that dude on the gpu. Wishing u a Merry Christmas,
Lova ya energy and humor
wishing you a very tech yes merry Christmas and also to your boy. hope 2024 brings you and him loads of good things. much love from England
Keep it budget Bryan, Your the king of banger budget builds and Your the Best!
Regards,
Jimmy from NY
your dedication to hunt down cheap and good gaming pc setup is on another level lol. i wonder if i can do that in my country
The yes-mobile Is a thirsty beast. Let's hope gas / petrol prices go down in 2024. Love this series.
So glad you brought up NOAB! I just commented that I have a similar setup. It's worth it 100%
Brian, you should get one of those little Jackery LiFePo battery packs to put in your vehicle for parts hunts, with a cheap portable monitor, and a test bed system that you can test the graphics cards out of the back of your vehicle before you exchange money.
I agree about the portable power station but Jackery sucks. I would go with a Bluetti AC180 or Ecoflow Delta.
its like 10 years later and i still get your vidios to get that cool discount on windows lol
YES, LETS GO! ANOTHER BANGER!
i recommend a portable testing rig in the trunk for GPUs like Nerd on a budget does.
Enjoyin the Tech Yes content!
I don't know about Australia but here in the States, we have apps like the one you're using to find used stuff. but there is a review and rating system. So if someone screws you, you can leave a review and warn others to not do business with them.
I've started bringing a small 11.6" portable monitor, cheap testing build, and power bank station with me when buying used parts. Great little test station in the trunk.
I think for me this series is filling in the gap of the x58 content, really like it
Not only was the fan blade broken, it was an ASUS fan on a Gigabyte card. Which tells me at some point a fan died and who knows how long it went unnoticed. More than likely it overheated and caused it's early death. You win some, you lose some. At least the other parts were good so not a complete loss.
tech guy no 1 my book ways come out very nice things keep good working buddy 😎👍🤚
TechYEEEEEScity I love these series!
this is what I subbed for
Great video! On a way to high end pc👌 these three pcs should easily make 1000$ espacially with peripherals. Suck that the rx card was bad, but as you said it sometimes unfortunately happens. Just bought a dud rx 480 8gb. Fortunately that was just 20€. Keep it going Bryan. This is my absolute favourite series on your channel, because it comes so close to my own live ❤️😄
YOOO !! welcome back !
BRAVO!!!
Wish I had a Les where I live, he really hooked you up man.
B-Man! You're scaring me with how awesome you look in those shades bro!
good vids man. what find mad is I do the same as you but I live in Scotland and I would never be able to sells pcs with such low end monitors and any pcs unless they are ddr4 systems.
Happy to see these episodes but it makes me mad when i see our friend getting hosed like that. At least you got lucky with the free monitors which is great. Keep up the amazing work.
Definitely a lot of red flags from that guy who sold you the part bundle for $105... The broken gpu fan, bent pins on the usb 3 header and the pc being a prebuilt all indicate someone who doesn't have adequate experience with pc building. Glad to hear you'll be going the nerd on a budget route with a station in the back of your car... Will save you time and money in the long run! Also love the budget series it's going back to your roots!
Well done with the fuel/petrol
You need a mini pc with a pcie slot and a small.monitor you can take with you on those gpu shopping sprees, take the element of surprise out of it.
Thats exactly what I was thinking. If he would get one of those portable electric generators, he wouldnt be getting ripped anymore.
Love a good Silicon Power SSD!
Brain please go back to the person and get your money back. Its not about the money but the message that you have to send to that person. If you let him go then he will do it again and again. I get that you dont want to for safety. You could call cops maybe? Rest of the video was awesome, trying to do something for myself here as well but well.... The cost of parts here is a little high in the Netherlands
You need to do what I have done and install a 600 watt inverter into the boot of your car. I have an ITX board with a 7th gen i7-7700k I built into an aluminum case that I can test parts on and plug a monitor into the inverter. You can do what suits you, but this has helped me from getting hosed so many times at this point. It's always easy to tell because the person expects for you to not be able to verify until your far away from them, or they dodge the question of can I see it run before I buy it. As many parts that you deal with buddy incorporating this into the Tech Yes mobile may just be what you need.
Happy holidays Yes Man! When are you coming to New Zealand for a parts hunt?
Ejoyed the video, sorry for the loss. Keep it up dont give up. better days will come :D
Awesome to see you deduct fuel costs!
But oh man, are those some low fuel costs over there, cool!
Anychance for you add some minimum wage on the costs too per hour you spend on this stuff?
You make profit on these videos, we get it -- But those who want to strike a bit of extra income doing exactly the same in their area would be wondering about this.
That would include drive time etc. total time spent should be accounted for
Dont forget to add the value of the fun. That counters the price of gas easily. lol
Burak, the hose guy... Not surprised
I sold my X470 board, 3600x, and 16GB CL14 3200 MHz ram last week. Had the guy meet me at my house and he was shocked I had all boxes, manuals, receipts etc.
I always tell them if they have a legitimate problem with it we can test it on my hardware or I’ll refund it.
I can’t comprehend how people willingly sell faulty items.
My test system would be a inverter and display port to hdmi/vga/ dvi with a old macbook. For a gpu test rig I'd go for a a320 board with a ryzen 3
Karma will eventually get that rx 570 guy. Just remember to stay cool like you always do! Great content as usual!
next video idea. try the oven trick with it to see if you can get it working
The fan blade on the GPU missing should have been a key indicator that something wasn't right. It was probably dropped.
One of the downsides of buying used parts or any parts privately is the risk of getting hosed. It sucks but in this type of game you have to factor it into your strategy.
If you decide to build the trunk test rig please make a video on it because I'd like to make one myself since I've been hosed a couple times and I can also sell my PC's out of my trunk letting people test them.
Man! I still have that pile of HP and Acer monitors. All 20 inch with VGA/DVI input connectors.
The closest to lez I’ve found in Scotland is a pc repair shop I go to sometimes that have boxes of mobos some with cpus and/or coolers and normally they will do me a deal on multiple with cases ect. For cash. I’ve gotten a few i7s ect. On mobos that have cost me £5 and all fully working. And I got my last case there aswell brand new for £20 just because it didn’t have the fan controller or the box as it was an out of box display case.
you could do a video about the mobile setup to test ram and gpus, i recoment to make two, one with ddr3 and another with ddr4 and a ups, 2000 watrs shpuld make a pc run tests for like 10 minutes and car can recharge it
there was once a BIOS unlocker that, based on your serial number, unlocks BIOS.
since it's an HP with more safety precautions than features, I think either unlocker or just leave the board and change it for other standard form-factor one.
Australia looks like such a crazy place, like so tropical
I watched your videos so much, I had a dream I was buying a pc from you... Will Smith was there too... what?🤣 thanks for the videos.
Nothing wrong with grabbing the strix card. I would of probably done the same, haha.
Hey brian, could you use a full sine inverter on your car to power a test rig, so you can test the gpus on the go ?
1st, greetings from the Philippines. Hope u get to do a parts hunt here in Manila. ❤
wow, Mr. Tech YES City buys those Asus RX6600 by the case !😄
Great stuff! A shame you got hosed. Certainly possible the core is cooked. On the off chance you can get it to boot if you see artifacting relegated to one chunk of you screen in the splash screen or bios you can diagnose exactly which channel has a memory error if it was a memory problen on RX 400/500.
Lez always has the best deals, 2x 100 for 2 gaming pc’s that run games decently well with 4gb vram is a max deal.
*I might start doing my flip up challenge looks fun!*
It's a good self-test. test your might
Just bough my first windows key with that side and ngl quick and cheap now i got win11pro for 15euro :)
it doesn't happen with used unless getting scammed, but I have bought brand new (well, new boards with old GPU die) RX 580s from Aliexpress where they have died after 15 or 20 mins of benchmarking out from box
