WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.319 okay so i'm wandering around the warehouse looking for something um right 00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:09.680 yeah it was uh mounting brackets for these uh 00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:19.440 didn't find them not the point point is i found this 00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:20.560 a rubbermaid bin in gray 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 00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:31.840 original motherboard and graphics card 00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:34.640 from the mineral oil cooled pc 00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:41.680 out of their oil and oh my gosh absolutely disgusting let's 00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:47.360 find out if they still work after i tell you about ek's phoenix 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.680 lineup of modular water cooling systems 00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:53.640 it's their next generation modular aio and you can check them out now at the 00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:56.859 link in the video description 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:06.799 so the dealio here is that we actually refurbished this machine around the time 00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:08.880 of ltx last year with the intention of 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:14.320 showing it off there so we pulled off some of the stickers that were kind of 00:01:10.479 --> 00:01:15.920 peeling off replace the motherboard 00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:18.960 replace the graphics card with something more modern so it's got a 1070 in there 00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:25.520 now and then never actually successfully 00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:27.360 repaired the tank we think it might be 00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:31.439 working now but the previous attempts we've made have just resulted in it 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:34.720 cracking again almost immediately and to replace this thing look there's a ted 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:39.200 fly in it that's disgusting uh to replace this thing would have cost like 00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:42.079 a thousand dollars from a custom acrylic shop 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:45.680 so that stuff's all gonna stay there because ideally i really would like to 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:49.680 fix it at some point but in the meantime i totally forgot 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:54.799 about the motherboard and graphics card i want to know if they still work so 00:01:51.759 --> 00:01:58.399 let's grab some test bench hardware here 00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:59.520 our options are 5960x or 5930k i guess 00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:03.280 that's the least valuable thing that we might wreck 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:06.799 so let's grab that okay so my options are use my crappier 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 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:17.360 but then i'm gonna get mineral oil on it and lazy 00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:19.280 so i guess we're using this one 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:23.360 this stuff is just nasty and it like spreads everywhere 00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:27.840 it's basically like glitter except it doesn't even look sparkly and fun 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:32.800 so there are a couple of things to contend with when it comes to mineral 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:37.599 oil now the main thing is the like mineral oil all over the place but the 00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:42.160 big problem is that mineral oil has a nasty habit of degrading plastics and 00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:46.959 rubbers and really a lot of things that it comes in contact 00:02:44.480 --> 00:02:50.640 with so one of the things that's going to be a 00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:54.480 challenge here as you can see this memory slot 00:02:52.640 --> 00:02:58.239 just snapped off when we went to open it up and at least 00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:02.000 one of the pins is actually bent 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:08.000 inside the slot there so what we're going to try and do is lift that 00:03:04.959 --> 00:03:09.360 back up and see if we can get a stick 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:13.680 working in there you know it's actually not in 00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:17.680 terrible shape all things considered i mean it's like 00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:22.640 furry because it's been sitting out in the warehouse during the renovation 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 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:30.480 mineral oil enthusiast they'll be like oh yeah you just leave it out drip dry 00:03:27.200 --> 00:03:30.480 for a few weeks no problem 00:03:30.959 --> 00:03:36.959 you want to touch it so let's just 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:42.640 let's isolate our variables here let's try just the motherboard first 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:47.519 then we'll try it with the graphics card that was soaked in oil 00:03:45.519 --> 00:03:52.720 oh i am excited right about now 00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:52.720 i mean if this thing works 00:03:52.959 --> 00:03:58.840 but like max's pc is that what you were going to say 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 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:06.400 just the motherboard without this card first is because we've got two 00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:11.599 potentially like jank ass components here so if it 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:15.040 doesn't work we want to know that it's down to 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:18.959 one of them so we want to make sure the motherboard works first so we can 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:22.400 troubleshoot anything there then we'll try the graphics card because 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 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 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:33.600 why am i still wiping this on my pants you know what screw it let's 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:38.000 get this show on the road people paid good money to be here ow 00:04:36.400 --> 00:04:43.280 watch this video damn that hurt okay hey we've got postcodes like that's 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:47.199 a good sign check this out 32 4f 79. 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:52.639 look at this it's got like a big long hair on it it's gross 00:04:49.280 --> 00:04:54.880 hey look at that 00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:58.880 no problem let's see how much RAM we've got 00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:02.320 detected here 12 gigs shoot that doesn't seem like an insurmountable 00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:07.440 problem okay oh wow this memory is like 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 00:05:10.880 --> 00:05:17.280 to destroy hardware just kind of happens you know 00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:22.160 so one of them is just not making contact at all right now 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:26.160 and then there's another four here that are all just exposed they're no 00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:28.800 longer supported okay i'm not going to put in that last stick 00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:33.759 this time but if we see 12 gigs this time oh it's 00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:38.160 seeping all over the corn it's not an esd safe cleaning method 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 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:47.600 see 16 gigs because it could still actually be 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:50.880 something in the CPU socket that was damaged and then that would be another 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 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:58.479 been not that stick all this time i actually don't know 00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:02.960 got it mangled RAM slot repaired 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:08.160 no idea how stable it'll be but that's the problem for another day 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:10.560 damn i'm good sometimes 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:14.000 some people get excited by no like 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:19.520 i don't know naked people this gets me excited 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:22.080 look at this here we are 00:06:19.520 --> 00:06:26.479 on the desktop let's just run a quick stress test i guess 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 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:36.880 at this point it did not immediately 00:06:33.840 --> 00:06:39.520 let's go ahead and shut this down then 00:06:36.880 --> 00:06:44.720 and find out if the graphics card works so looking at this you can see actually 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:46.880 there's not a lot of external damage to 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:51.280 it so these stickers all faded you can see the text 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 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:58.240 pretty much mineral oil proof 00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:02.960 graphics card so if i'm turned on by hardware 00:07:00.960 --> 00:07:05.440 seeing it suffer like this is that like a weird thing 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:08.960 if you're not comfortable having the door closed right now we can open it 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:18.319 says alex's drive not mine okay so the driver install was a little 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:22.639 bit weird um see if we can run us some 4k rise of the 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 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:32.319 ti we did this build a long time ago wow 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:35.440 i'm getting old i mean one thing i was concerned about 00:07:34.479 --> 00:07:38.960 was whether it would still stay adequately 00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:44.400 cool i mean it has the benefit of having one of the best 00:07:42.080 --> 00:07:47.199 graphics card coolers available i mean how many heat pipes does this 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 00:07:50.080 --> 00:07:55.360 what you guys hear that 00:07:53.280 --> 00:08:00.560 you guys hear that short so that's not posting something i had 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:04.800 forgotten about is this motherboard actually got three caps soldered back 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 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:12.479 that there's been damage to the graphics card 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.440 oh it's dead 00:08:17.039 --> 00:08:24.560 damn you know i thought i thought we had 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:29.840 a miraculous
