00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:08,240
recently we built this AMD budget gaming rig for just 500 and it's pretty good

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:12,800
but here's the thing everybody knows when it comes to getting

3
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:18,000
the best bang for the buck Intel is where it's at as long as you

4
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:23,600
don't mind having no warranty having an exposed die on your processor

5
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:25,920
and using some pretty sketchy BIOS hacks

6
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:32,640
yes my friends this right here is the heart and soul of what we're dubbing the

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:35,360
ruthless economy pc so tighten up your

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:37,680
sandals ladies and gentlemen because this

9
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:46,079
is going to be one wild ride and it's brought to you by

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:50,000
private internet access pia is the vpn service that encrypts all your internet

11
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:53,199
traffic and uses a safe protected ip it's got a ton of other cool features as

12
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,760
well so you can check it out at the link in the video description

13
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:12,159
let's start with explaining what you guys were looking at before this is the

14
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:14,720
qqlt es an engineering sample chip with

15
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:22,000
six cores and 12 threads that's clocked from 2.4 gigahertz base to 4.1 gigahertz

16
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,280
boost that was supposed to be

17
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:29,920
destined for a laptop but has been frankensteined by

18
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:35,840
the one and only mr sue so that it can be installed in a desktop one of these

19
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:41,680
is gonna run you just a hundred and twenty five dollars which is pretty good

20
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:45,439
for a six course so uh between mr sue and lisa sue

21
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:49,200
i think i'll take mr sue any day of the week again as long as you don't mind

22
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:52,799
having no warranty whatsoever and buying engineering sample chips

23
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:59,520
really though the main value add here is not the CPU

24
00:01:55,759 --> 00:02:03,840
itself but rather that this CPU allows

25
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:06,880
us to get one of these the h110d3a

26
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,800
is a mining optimized motherboard

27
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:13,280
you can see it's got all these pci express slots here for those little

28
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:17,760
mining GPU adapters that can be had on ebay for as little as 30 dollars

29
00:02:16,239 --> 00:02:23,000
and happens to we hope work perfectly with the qqltes

30
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,480
it's not even the same shape the installation process for this

31
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:33,120
abomination here very straightforward you go ahead you

32
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:37,120
take this buddy here with the little uh notches you line them up with the little

33
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:42,319
notches right there there you go a little something like that oh yeah

34
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:46,560
you pop this little like carrier slash hold down plate puppy on

35
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:53,040
here and then you just yep you just you screw

36
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,640
these screws right into the motherboard

37
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:59,040
no problem there's actual tapped holes on the back

38
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:05,200
oh oh okay i thought we were just screwing into the pcb well that's a little better

39
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,959
no yeah it's it's like kind of legit okay for cooling you'd be surprised how

40
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:14,879
cheap we can go this right here is an Intel stock cooler

41
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:19,680
you can probably scavenge one of these for nothing but if you do have to pay

42
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:25,040
for them they go for about nine dollars on ebay and that's not a lot of metal

43
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:30,640
that's not a lot of cooling there but the good news is that because we're

44
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:34,239
using a mobile processor it also doesn't

45
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:35,920
output a lot of heat and compared to the

46
00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:41,040
space constraints that you would have to deal with in a laptop

47
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:45,519
this uh yeah looks you know downright frosty one

48
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:49,760
thing we want to be careful of when installing the CPU is that we're not

49
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:53,200
putting excess pressure on one corner and we're applying it evenly because

50
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:57,599
otherwise we could crack that exposed die and our CPU would be

51
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:02,159
very dead at that point now when it comes to storage we never

52
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:06,720
recommend cheaping out and going second hand because when you think about it

53
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:11,040
what's 10 or 20 compared to the value of your precious family photos

54
00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:14,560
but this is the ruthless economy pc isn't it so

55
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:20,560
for our boot drive we went with this samsung 840 series off of ebay it's just

56
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:25,440
over 20 dollars and does have a dram cache so we won't expect the slowdowns

57
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:30,720
that can happen with d roundless ssds and then because 120 gigs just plain

58
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,000
ain't enough to store any modern games like warfare type games you know what

59
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:40,000
i'm talking about we also went with a one terabyte

60
00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:41,280
barracuda that was 19

61
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:46,080
yeah the great thing about this is that by

62
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:51,759
spending only 40 on our storage we were able to get 16 gigs of RAM i mean sure

63
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:55,360
it's from a brand that even i've never heard of time tech

64
00:04:54,639 --> 00:05:02,000
but theoretically i mean those are RAM chips on there sk hynix should be fine right

65
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,880
right right yeah yeah 60 bucks for those 60

66
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,560
bucks now it's time to start building this thing

67
00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:15,199
meet computer case

68
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:19,840
it's got compelling features like steel

69
00:05:16,479 --> 00:05:19,840
and front panel

70
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:31,440
it also happens to be extremely lightweight so light i can't

71
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,440
even get it out of the box

72
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:39,520
all of this and no more can be yours for

73
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:44,080
just 30 which happens to be 30 more

74
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:48,000
than we're willing to spend on a case in a ruthless economy pc

75
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:52,639
meet the end tech p180 side of the road

76
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:57,120
edition we got this for free

77
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:02,000
on the side of the road it has features like no front panel

78
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:08,240
look at that unrestricted airflow after we removed these capes up fan filters

79
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:12,800
you it might even have bugs it's not a bug it's a feature the

80
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:18,479
craziest thing about the p180 sotr edition is that it's not even the most

81
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:22,000
defunct thing about itself rip ncix to

82
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:25,039
go with our vintage antec case

83
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,680
we got a vintage antec power supply this

84
00:06:25,039 --> 00:06:31,680
is an earth watts 650 watt and we would describe it as

85
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:35,520
old reliable you know it's reliable because someone's been running it in

86
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:39,840
their gaming rig for the last 10 years it might have uh

87
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:44,720
something kind of rattling around inside it but it was only 20 bucks on ebay

88
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:51,120
and i'm sure that'll come out if we shake it hard enough

89
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:54,720
it's hot glue i wonder what it was holding in place

90
00:06:55,199 --> 00:07:03,759
i gotta say it's been a spicy minute i think the last time i built in a p180

91
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,720
series case and tech was still relevant

92
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:09,840
hey got him

93
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:15,759
it is so dirty and like look at this oh my god

94
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:18,000
ew it's dust

95
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:24,000
i thought it was like a mark from the heat of the CPU or something gross

96
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:30,319
you can actually read the brand it's a zalman lga 775 cooler

97
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:34,880
when did these guys go so wrong all right i never installed the RAM

98
00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:38,540
all right and

99
00:07:39,919 --> 00:07:46,800
there we go i guess i'll need some screws uh those

100
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:50,319
screws are actually from the not working system that was in that case

101
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:55,440
beautiful recycling if your side of the road p180 doesn't

102
00:07:53,599 --> 00:07:58,400
have uh these screws you too can check your hope in a prayer

103
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,639
bin and uh hope and pray that you

104
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:06,400
find some of them in it they're not wide enough at the head i would need like a

105
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:11,560
washer or something instead hopefully they hold it in well enough to at least

106
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,560
finish this video

107
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:19,360
look at this class a cable management we got on this case here

108
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:23,120
look at this there's your little cutout right there

109
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:26,800
kind of put that through there plug that in the back your hard drive

110
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:30,639
right there a little something like that oh yeah

111
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:33,360
boom done

112
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:39,200
and you just hope it stays out of the fan

113
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:39,200
that fan is so freaking dirty

114
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:45,200
i also found a screw in it the top fans apparently connect

115
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,000
the molex so we'll go ahead and i really don't

116
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:52,320
like touching this this is really very dirty

117
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:57,360
like it smells i did it for the views

118
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:03,680
oh this is the most dead fan that i have seen in some time check this out you can

119
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,680
actually see it's popped out of the frame

120
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:15,760
that's okay this one spins

121
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:20,240
that one's bit does that just loosen there

122
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:26,959
now older cases like this one don't have anywhere to properly mount an SSD so

123
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:30,000
we're going to go with right there one time i threw my SSD

124
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:34,399
in the drive bay area and it fell out and

125
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:38,240
shorted the back of my motherboard i have a solution we're gonna cable manage

126
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,880
it to hold it in place okay see

127
00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:48,720
now it cannot fall see perfect

128
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:50,320
here's a pretty modern feature actually

129
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:56,560
GPU power cables coming up through the basement this case really was ahead of its time

130
00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:01,519
now it's time to put the cherry on top of our feces

131
00:09:59,279 --> 00:10:08,000
sunday here this gtx 1070 cost us about 200

132
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:12,640
and should deliver anywhere from 30 to 40 percent more performance than the

133
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:18,480
1650 that we put in our all brand new parts with warranty's

134
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:22,720
gaming machine isn't it beautiful and andy yeah it's a

135
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:28,000
slipper it's more than a sleep it's like

136
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:31,360
blackout drunk

137
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,279
wow genuine Intel

138
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:38,480
zero cpu000 two point four gigahertz but hey turbo's working it's uh 14 nanometer

139
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,519
which for Intel means it's either very modern or

140
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:46,880
quite old it's coffee lake which tells us more specifically what era it's from so i'm

141
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:51,920
expecting actually pretty decent performance from this thing and it

142
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:54,000
identifies as a xeon 2400

143
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:59,360
so like a mobile xeon fascinating this is a 45 watt chip and

144
00:10:57,839 --> 00:11:05,360
wait is this one unlocked yeah that might not be the CPU that i thought it was

145
00:11:02,079 --> 00:11:07,279
yeah we put the wrong CPU in uh

146
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,720
that's why it wasn't showing up as one that would be unlocked

147
00:11:08,959 --> 00:11:14,800
so it needs to be one of these in our defense they all kind of look the same

148
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:19,120
so while we swap out this CPU it's a good time to point out that with a bare

149
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:24,160
dye chip like this it is extremely important to have thermal compound

150
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:26,320
covering absolutely everywhere on it

151
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:29,279
if you have any part of it that is not thermal pasted

152
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:33,200
there is a good chance it will die it won't die it will just

153
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:37,200
do really bad no it could die because some part of it that doesn't have a

154
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:41,040
proper temperature sensor oh true yeah i don't know it's easy for me to

155
00:11:38,959 --> 00:11:45,200
say as you know someone with a full-time job and who's an adult and all that that

156
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:50,160
you know this is scary and i wouldn't recommend it but teenage me would probably say well

157
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:54,720
you're an idiot for buying this when you can get more FPS with that

158
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:59,519
of course we need to figure out if it actually gets more FPS first

159
00:11:57,519 --> 00:12:03,680
it's going to crush it minor details absolutely crushing look that's what we

160
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:09,279
think but let's just verify it okay well let's open up xtu here

161
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:11,200
oh it says thermal throttling

162
00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:16,399
what that's weird we're not even doing anything

163
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,600
oh wait it's better now what'd you do

164
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:20,480
did you just give it a little wiggly wiggle yeah did one of the clips not go

165
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:27,680
all the way in yeah i think that you just missed one of the clips you want to turn it off and fix that uh sure

166
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:32,399
sorry there little CPU oh yeah so it clicked in but it didn't

167
00:12:29,839 --> 00:12:35,040
click into the motherboard give it a little wiggle

168
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:42,800
wow i get a cloud of dust when i press the power button that's exciting i've

169
00:12:40,399 --> 00:12:46,399
got xtu open and i don't actually know if applying

170
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:50,240
anything is going to work yet but it appears as though

171
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:55,040
everything is completely unlocked on this puppy so

172
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:59,760
that's cool our temps are good we're idling at around 30 degrees now which is

173
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:04,399
exactly what i'd expect which means it's time for a quick cinebench drag race run

174
00:13:02,079 --> 00:13:11,839
you ready genuine Intel

175
00:13:05,959 --> 00:13:11,839
cpu000 versus ryzen 3 3100 and go

176
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:21,839
dang it may be sketchy but it sure sketches

177
00:13:18,079 --> 00:13:21,839
this scene fast

178
00:13:24,959 --> 00:13:32,079
wow and it's the same price for these

179
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:34,079
machines eh yep exactly the same exactly

180
00:13:32,079 --> 00:13:38,680
the same dang

181
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:44,079
2 800 2300 points so that's a cinebench win

182
00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:49,440
now to be clear if all you were after was cinebench performance you could also

183
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:51,600
go pick yourself up a first gen ryzen 7

184
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:54,160
8 core and it would beat the stuffing out of this

185
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,920
but remember we're after an all-round good experience

186
00:13:56,959 --> 00:14:04,079
here and that includes gaming

187
00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:06,079
take that alex boom who's got more FPS

188
00:14:04,079 --> 00:14:09,839
now baby oh shoot oh my control key oh you have a lot more than me wait why is

189
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:14,639
there a control key here that's not control this is there's two controls on the left

190
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:19,440
you're gonna have to plant the bomb at some point oh no no no

191
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:23,199
no okay cool so let's just like stand here

192
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:28,880
and follow our team around so we're anywhere from around 10 15 to

193
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:33,279
as high as 20 percent faster on our frankenstein machine compared to all new

194
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:38,320
parts let's try one more game before we do that alex

195
00:14:35,839 --> 00:14:41,760
really wants to try overclocking this thing so what do you think 4.5 gigahertz

196
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:47,120
all core yeah we might be able to do 4.7 uh not

197
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:49,920
all core that's really aggressive yeah all right there's 4.5 velcro do you want

198
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:55,920
to careful it's dead i was about to say give her a bit more voltage

199
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,360
4.5 all core didn't crash yet

200
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,720
not something do you want to run a cinebench i would love to it's

201
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:07,120
definitely on the struggle bus a little bit but it's running at 4.5 boys

202
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:10,839
dang 96

203
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:15,839
95 ah throttled okay so we need better cooling

204
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:20,959
i'm one point one five oh it's dead it's it's not okay

205
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:26,959
we're done you're done but it's off it turned off

206
00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:28,880
that's weird our hard drive disappeared

207
00:15:26,959 --> 00:15:33,920
our partition is gone okay

208
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,920
that's why do maternal won't launch

209
00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:39,680
uh i mean we did say that using uh used

210
00:15:37,839 --> 00:15:43,839
hard drives was something we don't recommend

211
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:49,680
at least all we lost was some games that's crazy so running 3dmark we're

212
00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:52,720
looking at as high as 25 30 difference

213
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:56,320
in performance going from our 500 value

214
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:58,000
rig to our ruthless economy rig making

215
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:01,360
this one even more appealing is the fact that it has double the system memory

216
00:15:59,839 --> 00:16:05,600
which i mean might not be useful in every game but

217
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:09,759
could definitely come in handy so there you have it folks

218
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:14,399
she might not look like much she might not last for long and she

219
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:20,000
might smell real bad but she's got it where it counts the

220
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:21,600
ruthless economy build comes out on top

221
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,839
you can find the links to where to check out all this stuff in the video description as usually happens when we

222
00:16:24,639 --> 00:16:31,279
make a video about this kind of stuff though it'll probably all be out of stock by the time you look at it but hey

223
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:35,440
it's worth a shot you know what else is worth a shot

224
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:38,480
checking out our sponsor micro center actually that's great because that's

225
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:42,160
probably where you're going to end up going when you look at this and go yeah

226
00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:47,440
no i don't want any part of that you can get the powerspec g435 computer at micro

227
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:52,560
center you can shop online or in person at any of their 25 locations across the

228
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:59,040
u.s and the power spec g435 features an Intel core i7 10700 kf 3.8 gigahertz

229
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:01,199
processor NVIDIA rtx 2070 super graphics

230
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:06,480
32 gigs of RAM and it's packed in a lienly 205 atx computer case so

231
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:10,559
basically it's better than this in every possible way

232
00:17:08,799 --> 00:17:12,959
but of course it does cost a little bit more because like you know warranties

233
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:18,959
and little conveniences like that thanks for watching if you guys enjoyed this video

234
00:17:16,559 --> 00:17:24,000
maybe check out our previous exploration into mr sue's crazy frankenstein cpus

235
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:28,319
where we go a little bit more in depth into how they are actually made
