scrapyard

00:00:09.719 --> 00:00:16.680
War this episode of scrapyard Wars was brought to you by

00:00:14.719 --> 00:00:19.960
dbrand all right so it is the beginning of day two and the very first thing we

00:00:18.439 --> 00:00:24.000
need to do is check email someone who emailed ahead of you has confirmed he is coming to buy at first thing in the

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:30.320
morning so don't come out before phone me around 1100 to make sure it's still available this is Luke I know it it is

00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:36.480
absolutely Luke oh man we're not going to have enough time dude this guy what

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:40.039
the guy with the 7950 is replied back so wait we can get the

00:00:37.879 --> 00:00:45.200
7950 oh no we don't have time for this right now we have to we have to go right

00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:48.120
now oh this is for the case it the guy's

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:54.680
local so it should not be that far ah 25 minutes away day two of scrapyard

00:00:51.559 --> 00:00:55.960
Wars so we are going to get that

00:00:54.680 --> 00:01:01.160
graphics card that I talked about yesterday the r9290 uh Gigabyte wind

00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:06.240
Force and then I have bad

00:01:03.559 --> 00:01:13.640
news the motherboard CPU and cooler platform guy responded

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:15.720
saying that he had a lot of 2 GB 6 of

00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:20.400
RAM which is good news and

00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:23.240
then also told me that he forgot to

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:28.040
bring it to work with him today and that he might not be able to tomorrow so I

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:35.840
was distracted trying to uh have Brandon email motherboard

00:01:32.759 --> 00:01:37.479
guy uh so I went the wrong way on the

00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:42.399
highway so I'm going to pick up the graphics card we're at BCIT he's waiting

00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:47.640
I'm late I'm going to go I actually heard back from a fair

00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:52.759
number of my lowball graphics card offers so it's a good thing I did this

00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:57.119
before running out and picking up that $20 video card that I arranged yesterday

00:01:55.320 --> 00:02:02.799
cuz if I can find something better I'm going just bail on that guy so first up

00:01:59.399 --> 00:02:05.560
we've got a GTX 460 for 30 bucks the guy

00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:14.160
came down from or up from my offer of 20 GTX 550 TI nah sorry this card is too

00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:17.120
good for $35 LOL 7870 $40 firm for a

00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:21.840
broken card what an idiot a freaking tool this guy didn't reply to any of my

00:02:19.959 --> 00:02:27.720
questions are you really the line of Sebastian from

00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:29.959
NC okay so no useful leads whatsoever

00:02:27.720 --> 00:02:36.480
let's get down to business so I decided I'm going to go for the one

00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:39.680
shot you know home run swing right off

00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:43.280
the bat here I'm going to load literally

00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:45.599
all of this Hardware up and I'm going to

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:48.840
see if it boots and if it does then I am in really good shape for the rest of the

00:02:47.519 --> 00:02:54.120
day and if it doesn't and we got nothing a I knew this

00:02:52.159 --> 00:03:00.480
motherboard wasn't going to work why did I even let myself think it might

00:02:57.480 --> 00:03:02.319
balls give it another shot here with a

00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:06.319
proper power supply and see if maybe that's the issue the display on the back

00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:12.680
it actually has a post read up back here but I can bar no

00:03:09.640 --> 00:03:21.200
way we

00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:24.319
got an ASUS Rog board 4 gigs of working

00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:27.200
ddr2 a

00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:32.920
q6600 and a broken power supply which I'm totally okay with

00:03:30.040 --> 00:03:32.920
for 60

00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:40.400
bucks so I know what we're doing today

00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:42.400
we need to obtain a new power supply

00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:47.040
okay I'm okay with that we need to obtain a case and what's great about

00:03:44.519 --> 00:03:51.159
that is it's really easy to find a case power supply combos so we need to go out

00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:54.239
and get a case power supply combo we still need to potentially find a

00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:59.400
graphics card but I'm going to find out about that in a minute here maybe we

00:03:57.519 --> 00:04:04.360
should spend some of our time obtaining a better cooler cuz the q6600 can run

00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:09.200
pretty hot when you overclock it so having a really beefy cooler on there

00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:14.560
could be the ace up Our Sleeve we got to go we might just lose

00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:20.160
the motherboard right now do we bail on this guy and try to get a different case

00:04:16.919 --> 00:04:22.680
Okay so it is 10:09 and everything is

00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:26.199
already going completely wrong um I'm pretty sure Luke is getting our mother

00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:30.320
board right now and I just realized the guy who has the case who's supposedly

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:35.639
local is actually 25 minutes away and this guy's expecting us to like show

00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:39.880
up in like 5 minutes we might be a little screwed here the good thing that

00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:45.600
might save us is that we have leads on both a 6990 and a pair of 7950 both of

00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:48.960
which should be doable so I think what we're going to do is we're going to go

00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:51.440
to this guy's house pick up the case and the power supply and then what we're

00:04:50.280 --> 00:04:55.880
going to do is we're going to go and grab um see what kind of stuff we can

00:04:53.919 --> 00:05:00.360
get at the computer shop because that's uh we don't have any other

00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:02.440
appointments I don't think we might

00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:05.039
um yeah we'll go to the computer shop and see what we can find if the guy has

00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:10.160
a good motherboard then we should be able to either pull off the 7950 or the

00:05:07.039 --> 00:05:11.880
6990 but it's going to be tricky so I

00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:17.400
have bad news and great news the bad news is motherboard system guy still

00:05:14.479 --> 00:05:25.160
hasn't messaged me back good news is I got the graphics card for $180 I saved

00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:26.680
20 bucks how did I do that well I

00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:34.880
checked out the card before he gave it to me it's a 290 everything's fine but

00:05:31.039 --> 00:05:37.680
there's one little Oddity when I went to

00:05:34.880 --> 00:05:41.880
go take it out of the bag I noticed this there's no

00:05:38.880 --> 00:05:44.440
screws right there there's one screw

00:05:41.880 --> 00:05:49.080
holding the plate on here but there it's missing a screw here and it's missing

00:05:46.039 --> 00:05:50.360
two screws here and two screws here so I

00:05:49.080 --> 00:05:56.759
was like that's kind of weird started complaining and he gave me 20 bucks off

00:05:53.039 --> 00:05:57.759
so I got a 290 aftermarket cooled card

00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:03.080
for $180 which is pretty sick sck I just

00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:09.520
need to make sure that I have a computer to put it

00:06:04.479 --> 00:06:12.599
in it is time to call free geek and see

00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:15.039
how much they can save my ass hopefully

00:06:12.599 --> 00:06:19.199
entirely scrapyard Wars will be right back after these messages this episode

00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:22.880
of scrapyard Wars is brought to you by dbrand makers of the Precision Cut vinyl

00:06:21.400 --> 00:06:27.000
skins that you'll see on the phones and notebooks of our contestants they offer

00:06:25.039 --> 00:06:30.639
a wide variety of styles and colors and support for the coolest devices

00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:35.160
including the PlayStation 4 Galaxy Note 5 and iPhone 6s protect the body of your

00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:40.039
devices and make them look great at dbrand.com scrapyard Wars one thing we

00:06:38.280 --> 00:06:43.240
do have going for us is that uh Luke lonus and I we all had a chat this

00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:47.319
morning and basically the idea is is that we're all going to try to have all

00:06:44.479 --> 00:06:50.720
of our parts by the end of the day but if we don't have everything today we're

00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:56.400
going to have until noon tomorrow so basic we'll have 2 hours tomorrow to go

00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:57.520
and get any last minute parts we need so

00:06:56.400 --> 00:07:01.840
we should be able to get everything today and we'll do the build off tomorrow so we don't have to worry about

00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:06.280
putting together the systems although I know Lucas already got started on his

00:07:03.840 --> 00:07:11.000
sounded like that anyway okay so we're here we're about to pick up the case um

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:18.240
hopefully we don't get murdered this is the first time we've actually used Craigslist for this little trip so let's

00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:20.960
get some money and hopefully have a case

00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:25.080
hey hi how's it going Austin thank you appreciate

00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:28.560
it I don't said we make sure everything well before you take it okay thank you

00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:35.560
appreciate it it is officially begun we have our case and I've got to say say it's actually way more beefy than I

00:07:31.080 --> 00:07:40.639
thought it was so see

00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:40.639
here oh it's got a lock on it there we

00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:47.599
go that's actually pretty solid and he showed me the power supply does work we

00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:53.720
have a 120 fan in the back actually is that one in the front no still though oh

00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:55.440
we even have a s cable front panel all

00:07:53.720 --> 00:08:01.639
right I think we're in business it's a little beat up but it'll totally do for

00:07:58.039 --> 00:08:03.520
25 bucks it's good start so the guy with

00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:06.479
the saber teeth motherboard replied he'll let me know if it's sold or not he

00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:09.960
got multiple replies and I have the first who first responded the first

00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:12.479
chance he should be here shortly and if he doesn't show up it'll be yours it's

00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:16.599
not about getting more money but more of a promise to keep it'll be yours for the

00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:21.879
same price if other guys doesn't show up so 7950 guy just replied basically we're

00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:26.800
kind of out of luck on this too he doesn't get home till 7:00 he could do

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:29.560
it tomorrow but that would eat up the little bit of time we would have and

00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:35.440
we'd have to drive like an hour out out of the way so there is a $69.90 it's

00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:39.519
$180 so we're going to meet him at 2:00

00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:42.120
so I just got the $200 r9290 for 180

00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:48.800
bucks because it was missing a couple screws on the io plate which while

00:08:45.959 --> 00:08:53.760
they're nice to have the card will run without it um and I'm hoping that there

00:08:51.560 --> 00:09:00.160
might be some spare ones for that in the in the spare screw bin at work

00:08:57.079 --> 00:09:03.120
um the motherboard and S system guy

00:09:00.160 --> 00:09:07.399
still has not messaged me back he's at work I can't be mad but this guy is

00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:10.480
getting a little frustrating to deal with he's never I gave him my phone

00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:15.399
number he keeps on saying he's going to text me and he has not um and that would

00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:20.360
be a lot easier to communicate with him over text messages uh he said he was

00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:23.519
going to check for RAM last night he did uh I also told him to bring the stuff to

00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:28.760
work so that I could pick it up from him at work and he did not because he

00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:33.200
apparently forgot or didn't read that email or something kind of think he just

00:09:30.959 --> 00:09:36.040
forgot so I've got a graphics card and I've got a line on a power supply which

00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:40.600
I'm going to pick up later today other than that it's unknown and the free geek

00:09:38.640 --> 00:09:44.320
stock is really starting to freak me out so my new plan is I'm going to go to

00:09:42.640 --> 00:09:51.360
free geek figure out what they have if they have everything I need which is very unlikely but if they do I'll just

00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:56.000
pick it all up if they don't I will just kind of post up probably near free geek

00:09:53.680 --> 00:10:00.440
in the car do as much research as I can online try to plan all the appointments

00:09:57.560 --> 00:10:05.200
I can for the stuff that I can and then fill out the holes that I can't find

00:10:02.760 --> 00:10:12.839
with stuff at free geek hopefully that will work um I had a lot of backup plans

00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:14.680
last night and most of them are gone now

00:10:12.839 --> 00:10:23.800
but there's still a few that seem to be on the fence of guys that have 6600s and

00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:27.079
other various quad cores so in 600 I

00:10:23.800 --> 00:10:30.959
know might not be screwed just really

00:10:27.079 --> 00:10:33.480
depends on what's at free geek

00:10:30.959 --> 00:10:40.760
yeah interested in q600 interested in a board that it can go in and a fairly low

00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:42.519
capacity hard drive what do we have so

00:10:40.760 --> 00:10:49.120
our options right now this is actually way better than I expected this place is

00:10:43.959 --> 00:10:54.360
super cool is um $30 for an Intel DG 43

00:10:49.120 --> 00:11:01.040
GT did she say 35 and not 55 so I've got

00:10:54.360 --> 00:11:02.440
an ASUS p5q motherboard a q6600 a 20 160

00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:10.040
I don't remember Gigabyte hard drive spinning at uh 7200 RPM and it was a

00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:12.000
little vague but I think 8 gigs of RAM

00:11:10.040 --> 00:11:14.560
all for 100 bucks I'm a little bit worried that this thing isn't going to

00:11:13.040 --> 00:11:23.120
work at all as you guys saw there there was like Tim in the CPU socket and she

00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:25.800
rubbed the pins on the board and did the

00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:30.720
the but anyways I think it'll I think this will be good okay so I'm throwing

00:11:28.079 --> 00:11:34.680
my Windows 7 test build on here to find out what exactly this graphics card is I

00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:41.839
cannot believe we

00:11:37.880 --> 00:11:41.839
C can't believe that board

00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:47.760
works all right I do have to say one

00:11:45.560 --> 00:11:53.079
cool thing about the MacBook Air is that I forgot to charge it used it a bunch

00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:58.240
yesterday it's at like 65% battery it's cray cray

00:11:55.399 --> 00:12:05.560
oh wow it's a sound driver AIO dosis was what caused the

00:12:01.920 --> 00:12:07.519
problem interesting does this

00:12:05.560 --> 00:12:16.560
even oh oh wow um we might have to go back to

00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:18.720
our buddy there and get a sound

00:12:16.560 --> 00:12:24.480
card this motherboard doesn't have onboard sound

00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:30.480
so today's going well so far I have determined that my motherboard by some

00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:32.720
freaking Miracle Works uh the RAM is all

00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:37.959
correctly detected the CPU is correctly detected it even has drivers for up to

00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:43.000
Windows 8.1 so we're going to be able to run all of our benchmarks I have

00:12:40.560 --> 00:12:48.240
arranged to go out and pick up the graphics card that we figured out

00:12:44.880 --> 00:12:52.480
yesterday and I've reached out to back

00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:55.440
alley crackpipe computer owner guy about

00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:59.720
going and getting a sound card because that is the thing that probably had that

00:12:57.560 --> 00:13:04.480
motherboard in the scrap Heap I don't have a sound card for it so if we hear

00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:10.279
back from him maybe we can get a case while we're there which leaves us with

00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:12.160
the optional step of obtaining a power

00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:17.959
supply because I could use the one from the computer inside and that is about it

00:13:15.199 --> 00:13:23.880
we're in really good shape it is time to Boogie so I'm just going to cover up my

00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:29.720
progress so far and head out all right so we are

00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:36.040
here at the computer store and hopefully we can get a lot of what

00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:40.440
we need because we need um roughly

00:13:36.040 --> 00:13:40.440
everything right now so let's give it a

00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:46.120
try hey so basically we were able to get

00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:50.639
a lot of what we needed so we're able to get a Core i7 2600 not overclockable as

00:13:49.079 --> 00:13:52.920
well as the motherboard so it will support crossfires so we're good with

00:13:52.199 --> 00:13:58.240
the 6990 um but the most important thing is

00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:03.360
we've got a seriously powerful CPU have a seriously powerful graphics card we

00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:05.120
have a 160 gig hard drive because 15

00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:09.560
bucks and we just need it to run benchmarks it's not really going to make a difference and we have our second

00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:14.560
power supply so this is actually a pretty beefy Supply it actually has an 8

00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:16.440
pin and a six pin so basically right now

00:14:14.560 --> 00:14:20.720
I think we're in pretty good shape I think once we' Like Glue this or tap

00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:25.320
this up to the top of the case we're going to be set so let's going do it

00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:29.800
okay so they had a problem mounting the stock heat sink um but the price is good

00:14:28.079 --> 00:14:33.480
so I really want to make sure works so they let me back into their testing area

00:14:31.680 --> 00:14:37.600
which is awesome they're letting us film which is awesome free geek is awesome I

00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:41.880
need to mount this thing though yeah it's I think the heat sink

00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:47.360
has a problem that really sucks cuz something

00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:51.240
that I do know doesn't work is this top

00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:53.959
slot but they say that this one works I

00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:59.399
want to make sure it works before I leave uh the the ARM is broken off

00:14:57.079 --> 00:15:05.240
that's why it won't sit yeah that explains a lot I hate these freaking

00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:07.519
stock heat sinks man that's one side in

00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:11.000
so the whole right side went in no problem at all the whole right side's in

00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:16.800
the left side on the other hand is

00:15:12.880 --> 00:15:18.639
just not working out for me very well

00:15:16.800 --> 00:15:24.680
I'm having second thoughts about my video card Matrix strategy what I

00:15:21.560 --> 00:15:27.800
realized is I'm calculating FPS per

00:15:24.680 --> 00:15:29.959
dollar as a function of only the cost of

00:15:27.800 --> 00:15:37.639
the graphics card I have not factored in the rest of the

00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:41.639
computer so if a graphics card costs $10

00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:44.199
more that doesn't mean that if I'm

00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:49.199
spending $20 I'm spending 50% more I better get 50% more

00:15:45.959 --> 00:15:52.160
FPS that means that compared

00:15:49.199 --> 00:15:57.600
to the rest of the cost of the system I might be spending 10% more I only have

00:15:55.160 --> 00:16:04.079
to get 10% more FPS so basically the more expensive

00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:09.079
graphics cards might be totally worthwhile even if they don't score as

00:16:06.680 --> 00:16:17.079
many FPS per dollar compared to a low-end one next time on scrapyard Wars

00:16:13.079 --> 00:16:17.079
