scrapyard

00:00:09.719 --> 00:00:17.400
War this episode of scrapyard Wars was brought to you by

00:00:14.879 --> 00:00:23.599
dbrand okay so we're back from free geek we got a whole bunch of our parts we've

00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:27.679
got a 77 775 motherboard 8 gigs of RAM a

00:00:23.599 --> 00:00:30.279
q6600 160 GB hard drive and a 550 W BFG

00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:33.480
tech power supply uh everything here I've tested except for the power supply

00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:39.640
and the graphics card so hopefully that all works out um right now what I'm

00:00:37.239 --> 00:00:42.440
trying to set up to do is hook all this stuff up in this corner I'm going to try

00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:46.480
to get a monitor and keyboard and mouse over here too and then I'm going to have

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:51.000
my other desk where I'm doing my woodworking stuff right here so that

00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:55.160
while this is running like Windows updates and junk I can hopefully work on

00:00:53.320 --> 00:01:00.079
that so that once this is kind of done doing Windows updates and junk I can

00:00:57.199 --> 00:01:04.799
mount it onto the wooden board and then hoping tomorrow that I can more focus on

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:08.159
overclocking and stuff all day because I really want to get that down I think I

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:11.119
can overclock this card a bit I think I can overclock that CPU a bit so I want

00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:14.119
to take advantage of that extra performance so the one shitty thing

00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:20.799
about not having the screws here is worth the 20 bucks for sure but is that

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:22.240
I can't screw in my DVI cable so it just

00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:27.119
goes to there cuz normally there's a screw in there that I would screw in to

00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:32.280
um so that's fine if I really wanted to I could use DisplayPort or HDMI

00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:35.399
um but I'm just going to use DVI for now because it's the cable that I have but

00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:40.640
I'm going to try to find screws to put in here just cuz it would be good form

00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:46.119
not because it's actually really needed I guess here goes

00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:48.680
nothing oh I was trying to document the

00:01:46.119 --> 00:01:55.399
issue with this graphics card but since we changed to my test bench power supply

00:01:52.119 --> 00:02:00.439
it's actually fine now which is pretty

00:01:55.399 --> 00:02:03.840
bad news because what that means is that

00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:05.479
our ghetto power supply works fine with

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:10.679
a card that it's not plugged directly into but then doesn't work with a card

00:02:08.399 --> 00:02:15.239
that requires auxiliary power which means our

00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:19.000
7970 might not run off this power supply even if it is rated at enough wattage it

00:02:17.480 --> 00:02:24.280
might just be too crappy I'm muted damn it Taran how long

00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:28.760
have I been muted um have I been muted since I like went

00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:34.120
to the bathroom a billion years ago now because I've actually got time to spend

00:02:30.760 --> 00:02:36.760
with my CPU the rules for overclocking

00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:41.239
are that you can have an overclock but as soon as you run into stability issues

00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:44.800
during the testing phase you have to turn off your overclock and run again

00:02:42.920 --> 00:02:48.599
you don't get to like try and dial it in a little bit lower so it's working I

00:02:46.760 --> 00:02:52.239
guess this is good news in that it's a working graphics card and that the power

00:02:50.519 --> 00:02:57.360
supply is powering it but bad news in that I'm not getting my 20 bucks back if

00:02:54.480 --> 00:03:00.840
I want to know if it'll work with a 7970 if I want to know if I need another

00:02:59.239 --> 00:03:10.360
power supply what I could do is grab a

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:12.239
7970 and test it nope we do not have one

00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:15.640
okay so that throws a bit of a monkey wrench

00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:19.640
into my plan that's okay though we'll just find

00:03:17.799 --> 00:03:24.440
another graphics card that draws a similar amount of power and go from

00:03:21.959 --> 00:03:31.159
there we may end up using this card after all o wow inaccessible boot device

00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:37.080
oh wow what what's going on here this computer is not happy now that we've

00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:41.920
installed a power hungry card there are a lot of power supplies on

00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:44.400
Craigslist nothing that cheap Corsair

00:03:41.920 --> 00:03:48.480
CX500 would do the trick yeah this is this is not this is not booting this is

00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:53.159
really bad and there's your buntu so the

00:03:50.680 --> 00:04:01.280
graphics card works the power supply Works everything else I already tested

00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:01.280
Works nice

00:04:01.959 --> 00:04:09.640
okay on this station here I'm going to focus on formatting into Windows I need

00:04:07.239 --> 00:04:15.200
to get uh Ubuntu off of here get into Windows on this drive and then over here

00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:20.000
I'm going to keep working on my little woodworking project trying to get this

00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:23.160
going using these sample pieces the sample po spy I have and Sample

00:04:21.479 --> 00:04:25.800
motherboard that I have to kind of work on the layout of how everything's going

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:31.080
to actually be on here one other thing that

00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:36.680
I need to do is actually use this screw bin and possibly use another few things

00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.320
around the office to try to rig up the

00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:42.440
back of that graphic cars that actually has screws on it although that isn't a

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:47.400
huge priority right now that would be kind of nice to do scrapyard Wars will

00:04:44.840 --> 00:04:51.160
be right back after these messages this episode of scrapyard Wars is brought to

00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:54.880
you by dbrand makers of the Precision Cut vinyl skins that you'll see on the

00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:58.199
phones and notebooks of our contestants they offer a wide variety of styles and

00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:03.360
colors and support for the coolest devices including the PlayStation 4

00:05:00.280 --> 00:05:05.000
Galaxy Note 5 and iPhone 6s protect the

00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:09.320
body of your devices and make them look great at dbrand.com scrapyard

00:05:09.880 --> 00:05:18.039
Wars so we have two terrible power supplies but together hopefully that

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:18.039
equals one good power supply this is the

00:05:18.840 --> 00:05:27.960
goods and core i7 oh core i7 what 2600

00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:27.960
oh nice 6990

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:35.199
180 even for that old of a card that's a

00:05:31.479 --> 00:05:36.360
deal I me this thing is a monster no so

00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:42.080
I think it actually here let me see will it fit in the case uh oh

00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:46.880
no oh my God all right so that's actually not going to fit in the case no

00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:48.319
fear though this stuff we just cut all

00:05:46.880 --> 00:05:51.800
this out right yeah actually this could probably even get yeah this will come

00:05:50.080 --> 00:05:59.240
out you want to take a guess on like how much we spent on all this stuff mm 350

00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:02.360
ah no it's like 550 okay so oh you spent

00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:04.840
30 on like one stick yeah dude RAM was

00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:09.759
tough RAM was really tough yeah you got taken for a ride but still the thing was

00:06:07.599 --> 00:06:14.960
we no one had any cheaper RAM you honestly have like pretty Primo stuff

00:06:12.479 --> 00:06:18.479
it's just this is the only concern at least you know the work right it's like

00:06:16.599 --> 00:06:21.960
it's brand new exactly yeah so that's the thing we want we have everything

00:06:20.599 --> 00:06:26.360
yeah so we have everything now we basically just need to make sure it works I'm a little worried because this

00:06:24.440 --> 00:06:30.479
needs this is like a 500 watt card so this needs two eight pins so we're going

00:06:28.440 --> 00:06:36.560
to have to make sure that these power supplies this power supply has Lord is

00:06:33.880 --> 00:06:40.440
gray let's see it's not that bad um so it has a six pin here and I think it's

00:06:37.840 --> 00:06:44.400
got an eight pin somewhere Sparkle power Sparkle power oh there's just a bunch of

00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:50.400
adapters here okay does do you have the extra two doesn't have the extra

00:06:47.919 --> 00:06:53.800
two wait what the what is going on here why are there so many adapters all these

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:58.440
mole have adapters on them we should have looked at this before yeah so

00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:03.199
basically power supply right here tape it on cut this slash try to remove it

00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:07.759
I'm not sure if it can be unscrewed or not but we can remove this somehow I'm

00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:11.759
not really worried about that um and just hope that these two power supplies

00:07:08.919 --> 00:07:16.599
are enough for the core i7 and the 6990 sorry do you need an actual

00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:22.160
sander we have an actual sander yeah I have an actual sander oh is it a company

00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:26.400
tool thing I've been using it here sure so sure

00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:30.680
yeah I'm done with that yeah I'm done

00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:33.160
with that okay I will grab that the cuz

00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:36.599
are you using the uh yeah I know it's the wrong thing but it's actually kind

00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:41.520
of working actually pretty well did

00:07:38.479 --> 00:07:44.919
my I just sanded off the mark that I

00:07:41.520 --> 00:07:44.919
made for where I wanted to

00:07:45.479 --> 00:07:52.800
cut I'm not saying there's cheating involved but that's some point deduction

00:07:50.039 --> 00:07:58.919
little suspicious right there we we know that lonus was uh still sending messages

00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:05.039
after five was he yeah uh how do you know I asked him and he told

00:08:01.919 --> 00:08:06.759
me he's cheating so he's absolutely

00:08:05.039 --> 00:08:12.280
cheating cheating I'm calling about the

00:08:09.400 --> 00:08:18.199
CX500 power supply I can come get it today if you can do 20 sure why not um

00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:21.919
20 so I could yeah like if you just give me an address I can I can get there

00:08:19.919 --> 00:08:26.000
tonight no problem well if you leave now you can come to my house I I I still

00:08:23.960 --> 00:08:30.400
won't be at work yet so is that okay I live in Richmond though yeah okay yep a

00:08:28.960 --> 00:08:35.399
son of a okay how are we going to do this we got to go to Vancouver we got

00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:40.080
to go to Richmond and we got to go to Coquitlam and we are going to be all

00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:45.839
over the place for the next little bit here okay so he won't set it up to to

00:08:42.680 --> 00:08:49.880
show us it works but we have another

00:08:45.839 --> 00:08:53.600
option so we got a $20 power supply to

00:08:49.880 --> 00:08:53.600
go with our $100 graphics

00:08:53.760 --> 00:09:01.440
card and we'll just bring a computer with us to test it let's go

00:09:04.160 --> 00:09:09.399
okay I think we can I think we can hit all these places today as long as our

00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:16.680
back alley contact is on time I think we got

00:09:14.040 --> 00:09:23.200
this it's 3:00 and it's 10 minutes to our next

00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:30.440
destination you know what new plan

00:09:27.079 --> 00:09:33.360
because back alley guy wasn't able to

00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:40.240
meet until 4ish so we're going to go straight back

00:09:36.760 --> 00:09:42.440
to Coquitlam and then to the back alley

00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:46.200
and as long as we can get there before 5 if it takes us a little longer to drive

00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:51.079
back we technically haven't broken the rules you have to be done scrap yarding

00:09:48.880 --> 00:09:56.480
and head back at 5 new we're good I think the rule is you

00:09:54.000 --> 00:10:03.600
have to be back at 5:30 well it's all very gray anyway op

00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:06.160
right there 20 bucks y That's cook you

00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:12.279
oh you got it from NC I see tell from the NC sticker yeah okay

00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:17.200
cables are inside and presumably it works yeah pleasure doing business with

00:10:13.839 --> 00:10:20.279
you huge fan actually oh H yeah screw it

00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:22.320
okay here you go I well nothing that we

00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:26.160
know of at the moment I only have one of those though that's okay I can get an

00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:31.440
adapter just well I mean if it doesn't super work just let me know cuz I got we

00:10:28.920 --> 00:10:36.079
didn't have time to test our 7970 but the guy said we can come back tomorrow

00:10:32.839 --> 00:10:38.680
morning if we need a refund so at least

00:10:36.079 --> 00:10:45.720
we have the backup plan of using our 6850 and returning the 7970 so that's

00:10:42.839 --> 00:10:49.279
good and our quote from Google Maps right now is that we will arrive in the

00:10:47.560 --> 00:10:55.200
back alley at 458 he said we can have the sound card

00:10:51.760 --> 00:10:57.519
for free just if we just come pick it up

00:10:55.200 --> 00:11:04.320
I am going to have my system thank you thank you thank

00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:07.440
you all right all right we got our sound

00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:11.360
card so our back alley best friend

00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:14.040
hooked us up with an AIG G2 and a Sound

00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:20.200
Blaster live both of which are PCI graphics cards and at least one of which

00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:27.120
I'm hoping will both work and have drivers for Windows 7 which is what

00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:29.639
we've standardized on using so um as

00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:36.279
long as that's the case I have everything I need for my winning

00:11:32.839 --> 00:11:39.200
computer yeah so I feel better

00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:43.920
about telling you guys stuff I really Ed's been uh very helpful he's not been

00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:48.160
an impartial cameraman so we've been a team here but I I didn't know I wasn't

00:11:46.079 --> 00:11:52.600
supposed to help I didn't either very much not an impartial cameraman as you

00:11:50.760 --> 00:11:57.200
give you give us you give me a reason why escap the windowless dungeon the

00:11:55.320 --> 00:12:02.160
L so we may need to hurry up a little bit

00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:07.639
you got you got what you have 1 hour an hour and 50 minutes okay no no it's uh

00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:13.920
cut off it's 5 oh so you have this is helpful

00:12:10.760 --> 00:12:15.839
a smaller one okay oh do we need

00:12:13.920 --> 00:12:21.720
something to short the penss on the oh paper CLI paper clip yeah sure maybe you

00:12:20.920 --> 00:12:28.680
have a paper no what do you need it for how are you a

00:12:25.920 --> 00:12:33.320
Salesman without paperclip how are you a video without a paper clip you think I

00:12:31.839 --> 00:12:37.839
deal on paper pitch oh you get that you think this

00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:42.199
will actually work this sounds like we're about to die this out of the way a

00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:46.680
man installing it or are we uh I'm installing outside the case first to

00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:51.399
test it yeah let's build outside the case you're right we can't really build

00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.399
inside the case

00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:58.639
because okay memory's good no you cut out I can't get back at

00:12:56.880 --> 00:13:01.120
it it's way too tight especially with a big knife like this

00:13:01.760 --> 00:13:06.639
like this is a bad idea it's a really

00:13:05.079 --> 00:13:12.880
bad idea it's so

00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:15.000
tight SC I know I'm scaring me with this

00:13:12.880 --> 00:13:22.079
right now oh no I slightly damaged some of the

00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:23.800
sleeping uhoh that's not good oh yes

00:13:22.079 --> 00:13:27.399
okay we're good we're good we're good um okay slight problem this motherboard

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:33.160
needs an eight pen connector and we only have a four also bad news this also has

00:13:29.800 --> 00:13:34.880
a four pin can we can each power supply

00:13:33.160 --> 00:13:38.920
power half the CPU too that seems like a horrible idea either we try to see if

00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:43.279
one four pin will work no no we got to do this let's try

00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:47.760
with one four pin let's hopefully that will work can we have a quick time check

00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:51.560
450 so we have 10 minutes do we just try it oh we need to still oh we need to

00:13:49.079 --> 00:13:56.920
still do the paperclip thing how is this going to work

00:13:53.800 --> 00:13:58.600
dude okay so this is a green you do not

00:13:56.920 --> 00:14:01.560
agree that's green yeah that is GRE okay and the one right beside it is black oh

00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:06.399
man I feel like you're not supposed to do this with a staple feel like you're not supposed to do this ever but

00:14:04.040 --> 00:14:11.480
especially not with a staple wait what you talking about oh

00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:15.800
no we don't have a way of turning this on screwdriver I've never done that

00:14:13.920 --> 00:14:19.000
before what are you talking about

00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:27.000
yes yes it works power supply power supply

00:14:23.199 --> 00:14:28.320
fan fan yes we did it okay we just need

00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:31.519
to make sure this is actually like posting but all the fans are running it

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:35.959
looks like it's working need some sanding but there's my

00:14:33.920 --> 00:14:40.160
graphics card holding plate or my power supp holding plate maybe the power

00:14:37.959 --> 00:14:44.560
supply my computer is still setting up over there Windows 7 Professional is

00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:48.360
still applying my settings it's been doing that forever it's kind of getting

00:14:45.959 --> 00:14:54.639
annoying let's try this cool so just like I had kind of

00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:58.720
hoped um I don't actually even need this block it'll just hopefully look cool I

00:14:57.160 --> 00:15:03.600
hope it looks cool I really hope it looks cool school it looks like it works

00:15:01.040 --> 00:15:08.120
but it's not posting and we're over time this is seems like a horrible idea

00:15:06.079 --> 00:15:11.720
horrible idea but whatever let's do it they don't want to go in together what

00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:16.600
are you talking about we just squish it don't worry good enough good enough ter

00:15:14.839 --> 00:15:21.040
I know no no this power supply should be spinning right now I don't understand why it's not this should be

00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:28.240
working oh you're right oh come on

00:15:29.199 --> 00:15:35.360
oh dude I don't know if these are supposed to work together I don't think they not because you're not supposed to

00:15:32.839 --> 00:15:39.600
put that in side words no we we're going from mole to six pin and then going six

00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:43.800
pin eight pin like we did here except this time to power the CPU I actually

00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:52.720
have never even tried this I don't think it'll work but it could uh could it

00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:57.399
maybe I I have a feeling this shouldn't work if it does work it shouldn't work

00:15:55.079 --> 00:16:03.959
look at this what have we done no no it's not going work it's

00:16:01.319 --> 00:16:08.759
different okay so at this point I think we have to call it a day um the fan spin

00:16:07.199 --> 00:16:13.040
the two power supply thing actually works which is more than I thought I

00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:17.319
could say but it won't post and I think the problem is powering the motherboard

00:16:14.959 --> 00:16:22.639
so we have a 1 18 pen power connector for the CPU we only have a four pen from

00:16:19.680 --> 00:16:27.040
each power supply so neither of them are actually enough to get it to post um I'm

00:16:25.920 --> 00:16:30.480
assuming that's the problem because when we tried to plug in both four pin which

00:16:28.920 --> 00:16:36.959
which you're not really supposed to do um this power supply freaked out and stopped working so I'm pretty sure if we

00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:42.000
could get these two somehow between the two to power the CPU we would be good um

00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:46.160
so yeah I think we got to give up for the day and maybe tomorrow come up with

00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:52.160
like a game plan of like how we're going to power this thing but we're close but

00:16:50.079 --> 00:16:56.120
H this is the this is the best case this is the best case if it's just the eight

00:16:53.880 --> 00:17:02.120
pin we can't power it worst case is something here is broken in which case

00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:03.600
we are way more screwed okay I think

00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:10.039
it's time to call it a night until tomorrow sweet

00:17:07.600 --> 00:17:16.480
prince oh man I hope we can figure this out I really do next time on scrapyard

00:17:13.120 --> 00:17:18.079
Wars Burl fights his do ganger Nikki V

00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:24.079
you really want to throw down you want a rumble Punk Nick who are you talking to

00:17:20.360 --> 00:17:24.079
you have the same person
