1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,319
okay so i'm wandering around the warehouse looking for something um right

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,680
yeah it was uh mounting brackets for these uh

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:19,440
didn't find them not the point point is i found this

4
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:20,560
a rubbermaid bin in gray

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:28,400
oh that's not what's important what's important is what's inside this is the

6
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:31,840
original motherboard and graphics card

7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:34,640
from the mineral oil cooled pc

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:41,680
out of their oil and oh my gosh absolutely disgusting let's

9
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:47,360
find out if they still work after i tell you about ek's phoenix

10
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,680
lineup of modular water cooling systems

11
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,640
it's their next generation modular aio and you can check them out now at the

12
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:56,859
link in the video description

13
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:06,799
so the dealio here is that we actually refurbished this machine around the time

14
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,880
of ltx last year with the intention of

15
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:14,320
showing it off there so we pulled off some of the stickers that were kind of

16
00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:15,920
peeling off replace the motherboard

17
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:18,960
replace the graphics card with something more modern so it's got a 1070 in there

18
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:25,520
now and then never actually successfully

19
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:27,360
repaired the tank we think it might be

20
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:31,439
working now but the previous attempts we've made have just resulted in it

21
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:34,720
cracking again almost immediately and to replace this thing look there's a ted

22
00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:39,200
fly in it that's disgusting uh to replace this thing would have cost like

23
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:42,079
a thousand dollars from a custom acrylic shop

24
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:45,680
so that stuff's all gonna stay there because ideally i really would like to

25
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:49,680
fix it at some point but in the meantime i totally forgot

26
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:54,799
about the motherboard and graphics card i want to know if they still work so

27
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:58,399
let's grab some test bench hardware here

28
00:01:54,799 --> 00:01:59,520
our options are 5960x or 5930k i guess

29
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:03,280
that's the least valuable thing that we might wreck

30
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:06,799
so let's grab that okay so my options are use my crappier

31
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:11,920
test bench but then i have to put a power supply in it or use my better one

32
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:17,360
but then i'm gonna get mineral oil on it and lazy

33
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:19,280
so i guess we're using this one

34
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:23,360
this stuff is just nasty and it like spreads everywhere

35
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:27,840
it's basically like glitter except it doesn't even look sparkly and fun

36
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,800
so there are a couple of things to contend with when it comes to mineral

37
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:37,599
oil now the main thing is the like mineral oil all over the place but the

38
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:42,160
big problem is that mineral oil has a nasty habit of degrading plastics and

39
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:46,959
rubbers and really a lot of things that it comes in contact

40
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:50,640
with so one of the things that's going to be a

41
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:54,480
challenge here as you can see this memory slot

42
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:58,239
just snapped off when we went to open it up and at least

43
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,000
one of the pins is actually bent

44
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:08,000
inside the slot there so what we're going to try and do is lift that

45
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:09,360
back up and see if we can get a stick

46
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,680
working in there you know it's actually not in

47
00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:17,680
terrible shape all things considered i mean it's like

48
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:22,640
furry because it's been sitting out in the warehouse during the renovation

49
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,519
and it's been covered in mineral oil the theory the theory if you talk to the

50
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:30,480
mineral oil enthusiast they'll be like oh yeah you just leave it out drip dry

51
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,480
for a few weeks no problem

52
00:03:30,959 --> 00:03:36,959
you want to touch it so let's just

53
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:42,640
let's isolate our variables here let's try just the motherboard first

54
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:47,519
then we'll try it with the graphics card that was soaked in oil

55
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:52,720
oh i am excited right about now

56
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,720
i mean if this thing works

57
00:03:52,959 --> 00:03:58,840
but like max's pc is that what you were going to say

58
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:03,439
no you don't want the mineral oil cooled okay so the reason we want to try

59
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,400
just the motherboard without this card first is because we've got two

60
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:11,599
potentially like jank ass components here so if it

61
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:15,040
doesn't work we want to know that it's down to

62
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:18,959
one of them so we want to make sure the motherboard works first so we can

63
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,400
troubleshoot anything there then we'll try the graphics card because

64
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:25,520
if we just put the graphics card and the motherboard on and it didn't boot up we

65
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,120
wouldn't know what the actual issue was look i even went and got paper towel and

66
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:33,600
why am i still wiping this on my pants you know what screw it let's

67
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:38,000
get this show on the road people paid good money to be here ow

68
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:43,280
watch this video damn that hurt okay hey we've got postcodes like that's

69
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:47,199
a good sign check this out 32 4f 79.

70
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:52,639
look at this it's got like a big long hair on it it's gross

71
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:54,880
hey look at that

72
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:58,880
no problem let's see how much RAM we've got

73
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:02,320
detected here 12 gigs shoot that doesn't seem like an insurmountable

74
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:07,440
problem okay oh wow this memory is like

75
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:13,280
it's wet contrary to what people might think i don't actually want to go out of my way

76
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:17,280
to destroy hardware just kind of happens you know

77
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:22,160
so one of them is just not making contact at all right now

78
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:26,160
and then there's another four here that are all just exposed they're no

79
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:28,800
longer supported okay i'm not going to put in that last stick

80
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:33,759
this time but if we see 12 gigs this time oh it's

81
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:38,160
seeping all over the corn it's not an esd safe cleaning method

82
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:42,800
but it's better than having mineral oil all over it let's throw the last stick in i want to

83
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:47,600
see 16 gigs because it could still actually be

84
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,880
something in the CPU socket that was damaged and then that would be another

85
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:54,400
reason why we would have one of the dims not showing up in fact it might have

86
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:58,479
been not that stick all this time i actually don't know

87
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:02,960
got it mangled RAM slot repaired

88
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:08,160
no idea how stable it'll be but that's the problem for another day

89
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:10,560
damn i'm good sometimes

90
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:14,000
some people get excited by no like

91
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:19,520
i don't know naked people this gets me excited

92
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:22,080
look at this here we are

93
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:26,479
on the desktop let's just run a quick stress test i guess

94
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:33,840
okay so we didn't run the full 15 minutes or anything like that what are we sitting at eight minutes but

95
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:36,880
at this point it did not immediately

96
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:39,520
let's go ahead and shut this down then

97
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:44,720
and find out if the graphics card works so looking at this you can see actually

98
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,880
there's not a lot of external damage to

99
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:51,280
it so these stickers all faded you can see the text

100
00:06:48,479 --> 00:06:55,600
will just wipe off so not bad so whether they intended to or not evga made a

101
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:58,240
pretty much mineral oil proof

102
00:06:56,639 --> 00:07:02,960
graphics card so if i'm turned on by hardware

103
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,440
seeing it suffer like this is that like a weird thing

104
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,960
if you're not comfortable having the door closed right now we can open it

105
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:18,319
says alex's drive not mine okay so the driver install was a little

106
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:22,639
bit weird um see if we can run us some 4k rise of the

107
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:28,000
tomb raider bam i don't even know if this card's capable of that 780 this is even pre-780

108
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:32,319
ti we did this build a long time ago wow

109
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:35,440
i'm getting old i mean one thing i was concerned about

110
00:07:34,479 --> 00:07:38,960
was whether it would still stay adequately

111
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:44,400
cool i mean it has the benefit of having one of the best

112
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:47,199
graphics card coolers available i mean how many heat pipes does this

113
00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:51,680
thing have i don't think anyone has a lot invested in whether i've got this right or not

114
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:55,360
what you guys hear that

115
00:07:53,280 --> 00:08:00,560
you guys hear that short so that's not posting something i had

116
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:04,800
forgotten about is this motherboard actually got three caps soldered back

117
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:10,080
onto it once it came out of the oil they were just like loose so it's possible

118
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,479
that there's been damage to the graphics card

119
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,440
oh it's dead

120
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:24,560
damn you know i thought i thought we had

121
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:29,840
a miraculous success story for you guys today
