Who would pack sensitive computer hardware like this? Who would charge $57
US for a 10-year-old CPU? And who, I
implore you, would take nearly 15 weeks
to deliver all my gear. Actually, Lionus, it was 15 days. Days. Wow. Well,
Wish has improved at least one thing about their processes since the last
time we checked them out. But if the rest of this is anything to go by, what
is D RAM? Does this remove the RAM from
my computer? Then I suspect this is going to be just
as awful as last time. The rules for the Wish PC are simple. Number one, every
component must come from Wish.com. Number two, no matter how high the
price, no matter how low the spec, no matter how obvious the scam, every part
must come from Wish.com. And we are off to a flying start here, ladies and
gentlemen, because this CPU, a middle-of the road Core i5 fourth gen,
a 4670K, cost me $57.
Came with thermal compound goop all over it. And this is the best part. Actually
appears to come in a counterfeit clam
shell. Look at this. It has the same markings as a genuine Intel one, but the
embossing isn't nearly as deep. It's like they took an Intel CPU holder and
then made a reverse like a negative of it and then made their own mold out of
that. Hilarious. And it like barely
clips together. This is so wild. Let's
move on to our motherboard, which I'm going to assume is inside this
nondescript white box. I'm sure it's really well packed in there, David. Oh,
okay. This actually looks totally fine. Other
than that, there's no packing material in here whatsoever, and it was just
banging around in this box. Got our ESD bag, keeping things safeish.
And this is just your standard ass Gigabyte B85M DS3H. There are a couple
of oddities about this one. Number one is it was advertised as brand new, and I
don't see a Gigabyte retail box anywhere. And number two is that it
wasn't actually advertised as being from Gigabyte. This was just a listing for a
generic B85 motherboard, which in
fairness, I guess I got. I'm not going to complain about getting a brand name
one unless the price sucks. Oh, that's actually not bad. 55 bucks. That's like
what a board costs. Stickers are a little yellowed from age. Otherwise, all
right. I think it's legitimately new, just old. The IO's. Oh, wow. That DVI
ports on kind of crooked. That could just be a little QC issue, though. I
don't think that's anything to do with Wish. Let's get the CPU installed. I
just want to know what one of these goes for on eBay. I'm just curious. Oh,
really? I paid $10 more to get this on Wish than if I'd just gone to eBay.
Well, at least it's brand new. Oh my
god. This is my cooler. What is the rationale for this? Fits in the case. It
fits in the case. Oh my god. The in the
buffoon. Did you notice this, David? My case is called the Buffoon. I know that
like Chinese to English dictionaries are really, really hard to come by, but you
should invest in one. Buffoon, not a great brand. Wait, it seems they even
understood it. They have a clown mask here. Let's focus on our UFO X CPU
cooler, though. Cool life, meet the future, cool moon. You know how I know
that this design is extremely old? It
comes with native clips for AMD's socket 939.
This design is at least 15 years old.
And the way that they achieve compatibility, like they did back then
when AMD was the top dog. So your cooler came with AMD clips by default is with a
plastic mounting ring and oh good lord,
some plastic push pins. Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm definitely
going to be using this. Ah, what the hell? My fingers just went kind of
tingly. Oh, I got a sliver. There's a
metal shard in the packaging or on the cooler or something. It's not often I
get such a bad deal it physically hurts me. You know how they say the smallest
splinters are the ones that hurt the most. Goodness gracious is this one ever
sharp. Shooting a behind the scenes for Flowplane. That's what we're doing.
Nice. flowplane.com. Lots of behind the scenes and great extra content.
Well, I'm definitely using this hindai thermal compound soft pack.
Highgrade boys. Dare me to follow this QR code? Yes. David amplifies my worst
instincts. Okay, it seems these guys make all
manner of different thermal grease and they are going to be exhibiting at
competit or they did. That is some watery goop. It's pretty groy. These are
some bold claims by the way. Cool moon hydraulic bearing, super silent,
higherformance, and perhaps least believable
120 mm fan. Uh, thank you very much for
the actually 120 mm fan. Though, to be
clear, I'm not hating on cheap products. If you're on a budget, you got to cut a
couple corners. You got to do what you got to do, right? It's just that when
you're not actually saving any money. It really sucks. Oh, actually, it was only
$13.50. I mean, looking at it, I doubt it's
going to perform any better than a stock heat sink, which you can literally get by the bucket for scrap metal cost, but
it's a separate conversation. With all the wild stuff we've seen already in
this build, the big question for me here is why is there computer hardware on
Wish at all? It means that people must be buying it, right? Look at this. Is
this even Is this even going to fit? This is what
we in the biz call an advanced maneuver. You never do this to any hardware you
can't afford to lose. But I'm about to use this screwdriver to put a bunch of
pressure on this clip so that it can reach the little hook that it's supposed
to get on. There we go.
Confidence inspiring. This is flipping hilarious. From the packaging, I have no
idea what I'm about to find inside this box. Hilarious thing number one. It
doesn't know if it's DDR3 or DDR4
memory. Hilarious thing number two. DRAM
is D AM. D AM would be more like
removing your memory. I'm about to DRAM my computer. Hilarious thing number
three. It comes with screws and a little
tiny screwdriver. Who ever used screws
and a screwdriver to install RAM? We're
certainly going to try. I mean, the module itself seems totally fine. You've
even got like a matte black PCB. It appears to be DDR3 memory, so that
answers that question. And just a
regular unbuffered DIM. These seem to be
Samsung chips, or at least like Samsung chips. Well, look. Okay, David. Not all
of us can afford genuine Samsung chips over here. Okay, I just need to put some
screws in. Oh, maybe. Hey, it came with
screws and a screwdriver. Crap.
And I know what you're thinking. Mine is it was probably an accident. They didn't
mean to ship screws in a screwdriver with that thing. They did it twice. We
ordered two sticks of memory. This one also comes.
Oh crap. I just broke this screwdriver in half. It's a quality quality product
right there. As wild as this has been, everything I've seen so far would
indicate that this will actually be a fairly capable gaming PC. Oops. Oh no,
my RAM's going to fall out. Oh no. What was the price on the RAM? 35.88 for 16
gigs. Is Wish's pricing not total crap? Now
that actually seems not unreasonable. I
mean, it's more than what we would have paid on eBay, but not that much more.
Why don't we change gears and open up our buffoon? I have seen some lost in
translation Chinese branding in my day. I don't think I have ever seen anyone
knowingly and willingly call their company
Buffoon. This is the 102A portable small
computer case. Not the portable big computer case, the portable small one.
CPU 8 cm. Um,
maybe that indicates how much clearance there is off the motherboard to the side
panel. Wow, this is going to be a really skinny case. Then SFX power supply. Good
lord, you really didn't give yourself a lot of options for the rest of the
hardware with this thing. I'm surprised you even managed to find an SFX power
supply on Wish.
Some quality packing material right there. It served its purpose. The case
got here and One piece. Yeah, this is a very, very
skinny computer case. We can't even fit
a full height GPU in here. How much did I pay for this mess? Where's the box?
That is not good. That's in US dollars.
I can get a quartz air like 4,000 whatever airflow for that. Does this
thing have an optical bay?
Oh my god. I meant to remove the 5 and a/4 inch bay cover.
Oh my god, it has an optical drive bay. I would like an optical drive. It's got
a filtered intake. At least my motherboard came with an IIO shield that
almost definitely actually fits on it.
Nice. And credit where it's due. Unlike the cooler, all the sharp edges of this
case appear to be folded over, so I shouldn't slice myself open on it. Five
stars. It didn't cut me. Honestly, manufacturing tolerances look pretty
darn good on this thing. Every single standoff lines up perfectly. Before we
screw this in, though, you can see there's a power lead for our power supply cuz it's going to be mounted
internally over in the front of the case over here, which is
really weird. It's got that optical bay,
but then SFX power supplies didn't really take off until much, much later.
Is this an old design or a new one? I have no idea. genuinely. Oh, Scythe I've
heard of. This isn't that bizarre. Hold on. Am I missing something here? Oh, no.
They didn't just repurpose a Scythe box, did they? What's in here? These are not
especially confidence inspiring cables. Is this how grounding is supposed to
work? What? Where in the world is that the standard?
Hey Andy, I would like to know if this is a thing that you're familiar with.
No, not that. I can tell. What is this?
This is the ground pin. What? Our mainland China consultant says what?
If you haven't won an award in that long, I'd probably stop talking about
them. Is this a current product on site's website? I must know. No.
Released in 2014. Look at this. Of the
300 W total capacity, only
192 watts are on the 12vt rail. This
thing is freaking designed for like Pentium 4 era systems. Wait, but it was
made in 2022. God, it doesn't even have active PFC.
Oh god, how much did I pay for it? I completely I keep forgetting.
$28. Okay. All right. And the best we were
able to do for Oh my god. I still overpaid. Crap. Not even that clear how
this installs, I guess. Whoa.
Whoa. Hey, thanks, David. Good catch.
Um, yep. You can slip your power supply
in here, which takes up Wait, are these
also hard drive bays? Oh, wait, no.
Order of operations, ladies and gentlemen. optical drive first,
which needs to be screwed in here. Then
we can put the power supply in. What are the odds this even comes with enough
screws to build it? That's it. How the
hell am I supposed to get a screwdriver in there? You see the problem here,
right? Yep.
Play of the game. Crap. It's too small.
It won't turn the screw. But wait, it came with its own screws. Oh my god,
this screwdriver barely turns its own screws that it came with. Look at this.
It's free spinning in there. How the crap balls am I supposed to screw in the
other side? This panel doesn't come off. Oh,
okay. There was a method to this madness.
All right. Okay. We did not have to do that. I still enjoyed it, though. This
is not a good design for the power supply. The intake is fine. See that fan
drawing in fresh air and then doing what
with it? Our cable is just coiled up in here.
And this is a solid panel. Where is it supposed to exhaust to? Now, before we
put our optical drive in, it's pretty clear that the SSD is going to mount to
the bottom of this plate. So, I'm going to go ahead put this here. And it's time
to open up our SSD. This is from Vasiki.
Vase. I've actually heard of this brand before. And it is a V800
with a total capacity of 240 gigs. Uh
SATA 3 6 GB per second solid SATA drive.
That's not what SSD stands for. Fun fact, this is not my first Vase Key
product. This is the same drive we bought last time for the Wish PC because
evidently it's still the best deal. Let's open it up. No tools required,
which is nice. Oh my god,
it's a small boy. There's your controller. There's your NAND flash
chips. No branding on them whatsoever, which means these ain't Micron. They
ain't Kyokia. They ain't anything I've
ever heard of. Last time we paid $56. They can now be had in North America for
as low as 24. We paid $21. Did we get a
bargain? First bargain. base key DR
RAMless crap tier SSD that I wouldn't put anything more important than a Steam
library on. But darn it, it was a deal.
Any chances my SSD had of living a long and prosperous life ended the second
that I installed it right above this power supply that vents the hot air
here, right next to the SSD. Brilliant genius. Love it. If I paid more than $3
a piece for these, I got ripped. $4.95
for both. All right, rock on. We've got
some HXS 80 mm DC brushless fans with
some really quality quality plastics
here. Look at how like textured this plastic is. I'm a little mad about the
false advertising. These were supposed to be four pin PWM controlled fans.
Clearly, while they do use a four pin
Molex connector, that's not how we would have interpreted it. So, they're just
going to run full speed all the time. But at $4.95,
I guess I'm okay with it. Before I can decide how to install these though, I
want to take a look at my GPU because depending on the kind of cooler that's
on it, it could affect things. Who the hell is Kuro Toshiku graphics card? All
I know now is that if I game, I need it.
Uh-huh. Oh, okay. Auto run driver. Very
nice. Comes with both a half height and full height bracket.
Oo, stylish white PCB. I mean, it's a 1030,
so it's not going to have a particularly beefy cooler or anything like that, but
okay. No DisplayPort either. Um, that's a bit of a drag. With my GPU probably
needing all the help that it can get, I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to
put an intake fan right here. Neither my fans nor my case came with screws, so I
had to cheat. I shouldn't cheat, should I? I should only be allowed to use
whatever we got from Wish.com. I've got some ideas here.
There were some twist ties on my power supply cables. We're going to run this
through here. Yeah,
look at that antiibration suspended
mount. Nice. I've got another twist tie.
All right, I'm doing it again. And this will be an exhaust. The motherboard
install went well, but trying to hook it up, things are getting a little bit
interesting because our power supply is so old and is designed for motherboards
with four pin CPU power connectors. Um,
we're a few pins short of a load here. We're just going to have four of them
not populated. Should be fine, right? Fine, everyone. Yeah. Yeah. Fine. Good.
And our 24 pin goes here. And my goodness, we are just about ready to
fire this thing up, aren't we? It's a little bit of wishful thinking, I think. Wishful thinking. I get it. Hey, if I do
say so myself, bad cable management looking not too bad. But we've got a
couple cables to add. One SATA cable for our SSD and a second SATA cable. Wait,
where' my screwdriver go? Wasn't there a screwdriver inside one of these SATA
cable bags? Did I imagine it? Oh, I was going to laugh about how my SATA cable
came with a screwdriver. Well, sorry. I went and wasted everyone's time then.
Let's go ahead just get this these SATA cables installed. What a bummer. Are you
ready for the GPU now? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I just got to bend this metal out of the
way. Got it.
Oh, awesome. Wait, how much did I pay
for the GPU? $58.
Okay, the thing is I actually buy the stuff for these builds. Wish doesn't
send us review samples so that we can crap on them, believe it or not. And we
all know that that's what's going to happen cuz like they don't carry
anything good. Oh my gosh. I don't care about the bad GB's. I'm closing this
thing up. Oh, I got a good feeling. This is far far from the worst computer I've
ever built. While our monitor isn't from Wish, the rest of our peripherals are
this. Wow. Quality.
Did that just slip out? I think I broke it. Um, this keyboard, mouse, and
headset set me back
$35.10. That is very cheap, which is good. Oh,
it's a it's a Mac styled one. Imagine
being the Mac user who puts this in front of your Mac. One of the most fun
things about this Mac/ gaming combo was that it was basically a
loot box. There were three different images on the product page and Oh god.
Uh, you had basically no idea which one you were going to get. I guess I I got
the Ow. Damn it, it bit me. Oh, the mic's a little short. Oh, the front
panel audio jacks are not labeled, so I'm going to guess microphone. Do these
even go in? Oh, yeah, they do. And I love this mouse pad. It is much better
than what you get on ltstore.com. Northern Light style. Nice stitched
edges. Non-slip natural rubber bottom.
No. No. I would choose this. It's got a lion. Oh, this is not going to reach.
Fortunately, this doesn't weigh very much. It's going on this side. Good job,
computer.
Okay.
Wait. No, no, no. There is a third screwdriver. I knew it. Cuz there's a
broken one. There was a screwdriver. in with the SATA cable. Why? I don't know.
You don't use a screwdriver to install a cable. It fell down. Moment of truth.
David, you ready? Yeah. Let's go.
Wa! Look at that RGB. You can't control
it, but they've actually got like four different LED colors in there, which is
kind of cool. Oh, wow. The fans. The fans have red, green, and blue, and also
orange as
Oh, it's the optical drive.
Uh, okay. Yeah, you are not supposed to
do that. It's like move an optical drive
while it's spinning. Somehow, this disc survived and can confirm this is the
driver disc from the last Wish PC. That's fantastic.
We're going to need a new one now, though. And it goes. Let's see if these
headphones work. Boy, are they ever uncomfortable. Uh, the answer is no. But
could be the wrong way around. Oh, I heard some static there. Oh, I heard
some more static. Okay. Well, I'll try the try try it the
other way around again. Okay.
Literal garbage. Perfect. This is interesting. In spite of us having the
latest drivers. Oh, wait. Hold on. Oh, no. Yeah. No,
it'll do 120 Hz. Oh, heck yeah. At 1080p. Apparently, the keyboard has RGB
function. Oh, wow. That um Yes, red,
green, and blue. Can confirm. I kind of like it. She looks pretty decent on
camera. Yeah, the mouse has RGB. 20 $24
for this whole bundle. 35, I thought. 35. Oh, well, given the headset doesn't
work, that's not that competitive. No, the headset does work. I tested it. It
doesn't work anymore. I'll try it in the rear IO. Yep. By the way, this keyboard
is exactly as awful as it looks. Maybe more. Oh man, I'm hearing a little bit
of like popping and static. Yeah, they must have broken when that was not my
fault. The thing just came out. I'm sorry. I just don't think these are
worth the effort to try to repair. I mean, I can wear them just for decoration. Oh god, without the padding,
they're even worse. Hey, we can get some, you know, basic performance
metrics here. We got hardware info. Our CPU is uh at Oh, well, it was at 40%
usage downloading the game. Our RAM is running at its rated 1 1600 mega
transfers per second. Oh my god, I
figured out why our CPU usage is so low
installing this game. The problem is that our SSD is horrible. It is 100%
utilized downloading a game at 28 30
megabytes a second. This thing is atrocious. The good news is everything
was what it said it would be. Core i5, an actual GT1030 GPU, and is our RAM
running in dual channel? It totally is at 1600 mega transfers per second.
Unknown DDR3. Yeah, tell me about it. I'd like to see how my cooler is holding
up. Ah, we're only at 70% usage, but we're also only at 60°. Not bad. Not
bad. Moon cool or whatever you're called. I'm expecting some ace tier
1080p gaming because this case was advertised as gaming ready. Gaming and
dong. Sure. Wish I had sound. Whoa. 200
FPS. Here we go, boys.
Oh. Oh, getting a little bit of stuttering.
Oh, wow. Ooh, this mouse.
Look how this mouse tracks.
No, it's definitely skipping. I can't tell if it's the engine or if it's the
mouse, but it's bad. Oh, wow. See, I wanted to turn and it
just didn't. When I die, inevitably when I die, I am 100% blaming this on my
computer. How much did I pay for this? $530 Canadian. That's like $400.
$420. All right, that's pretty nice. Just Just
throw things. It should be fine. Should be fine. Whoa. Whoa. Oh, see, I'm trying
to turn. You see that? Yeah. That's pretty bad. I think it's just when I try
to go too fast. I'm getting the win. I'm getting the win. Uh-oh. Whoa. What was
that? Not getting the win. No kills, no win. And it's a bad computer. But hey,
at least it was a fun video. MSI. MSI's
