00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:07.000
pretty much everyone and their dog has a side hustle these days and dog walking

00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:11.880
or Uber driving might work for some people but I'm better with tech than I

00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:17.920
am with organisms what's a socially awkward penguin to do hang on I've got

00:00:14.559 --> 00:00:22.000
it there's all this broken Tech all over

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:24.880
sites like eBay and Craigslist maybe I

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:31.599
could fix it up and flip it for profit man where to start I mean I used

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:33.120
to be pretty good at fixing pins so

00:00:31.599 --> 00:00:38.719
here's what we're going to do we're going to buy some four parts am4

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:43.920
processors that don't look too far gone we're going to set a timer fix them and

00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:50.480
find out how much we can pay ourselves to do this kind of work with minimal

00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:52.160
Tools H how about this one this one this

00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:57.640
one this one this one this one this one and this

00:00:54.160 --> 00:01:00.480
one well I mean they're not here yet but

00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:05.519
while we wait how about we do the Segway to our sponsor MSI It's Autumn and

00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:11.759
leaves aren't the only thing that's falling it's prices too msi's fall Ready

00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:16.360
Halls sale is here to help you save on your next laptop gaming handheld and

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:20.680
more check out the sale using our Link in the video description before we could

00:01:18.119 --> 00:01:25.520
try to fix anything something already went wrong we ordered a total of six

00:01:22.759 --> 00:01:30.040
CPUs but as you can see I'm holding only five thankfully the one that didn't show

00:01:27.960 --> 00:01:35.560
up was canceled and refunded by the the seller so we haven't lost any money at

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:39.880
least not yet let's give everybody their assignments I've never unbent CPU pins

00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:43.399
before but I think I'm a good candidate for this because I'm a fairly handy guy

00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:47.799
I'm a fairly DIY guy like I've ran out of kitchen before I can do things but

00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:52.079
I've never done this uh it's been a while since I've done this but I have

00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:56.680
repaired pins on like older CPUs before and like CPU sockets and motherboards so

00:01:55.360 --> 00:02:01.200
I've got some experience at least just not super recent I have fixed bent pins

00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:06.560
oh all right that's about as far as I've gotten I've never soldered pins my

00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:11.080
experience level is pretty low but of

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:13.640
the probably I'd say 10 to 30 CPUs that

00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:19.280
I fixed over the years I have above a 90% success rate all right so I get a

00:02:15.519 --> 00:02:21.879
50700 x and how many problem pins are

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:26.680
there okay first thing I'll say is these are really small I could like naked eye

00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:30.040
this but it would be a lot harder I'm grateful for this thing this is actually

00:02:28.239 --> 00:02:33.720
a good way to check as you can see they're all orderly and you can see gaps

00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:39.760
between each row so if there's anything that's walked over you would see it fill

00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:42.480
that Gap the only bent pins are on the

00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:47.360
corners over here and over here this is a game changer having it on this thing

00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:51.319
there they are Three Amigos this microscope is so sweet this

00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:54.480
is going to make it so much easier oh there's more B pins than I thought on

00:02:52.959 --> 00:03:00.360
this corner I thought it was one but it's four maybe may even six two things

00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:04.000
I'm worried about with this task is number one I don't know how many times

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:07.319
you can bend it this way and that before it just snaps right off number two I

00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:11.879
don't know if these are solid gold or just plated and I worry that if I were to grab it with like a plier that I

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:17.799
would strip off a coating and then it would no longer function as it's supposed to do you know the answer to

00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:21.640
these questions I do not I'm still out of four confidence but I don't know if I

00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:24.120
can do it in an hour but maybe I can do it in 10 minutes I really don't know I'm

00:03:22.959 --> 00:03:29.360
going to start with a spudger and the microscope and let's go oh my God the

00:03:27.239 --> 00:03:33.879
spudger is like wider than the gap between Rose I may not be able to use

00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:38.000
this tool okay I might use a razor blade instead

00:03:35.640 --> 00:03:41.560
okay the other thing I don't know is how straight do they need to be what's the

00:03:39.239 --> 00:03:46.280
margin for error looking at the socket each pin has a hole so if it's off a bit

00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:48.720
it should just get snapped into place that's the theory not snapped in the bad

00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:54.599
way snapped in the good way you don't want to have to force it but like it's got a tiny bit of give at least almost

00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:58.239
looks like I'm done here but but then when you turn it this way you're like oh

00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:02.280
yeah those I need a helping hand so cuz I I can I use my nose just the focus

00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:05.720
okay so I previously was working on these ones and now I'm going to go over

00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:09.840
to this one so this is a mechanical pencil and the tip is a hollow cylinder

00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:14.519
and apparently you can actually fit the pins in that Hollow cylinder and then just manipulate them that way I think I

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:17.720
can give that a shot cuz I love the idea of just being able to use a tool you

00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:20.639
might have lying around the house I got her on there now the question is will I

00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:28.440
give have enough feedback to like know what's happening that looks really straight up and down we'll pull it off

00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:30.440
did we get make progress oh yeah not bad

00:04:28.440 --> 00:04:35.320
it's not perfect yet that one is still wonky that one right on the corner I'm I

00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:37.800
am digging this Pencil Trick but I don't know if I can get these ones cuz they're

00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:42.560
so leaned over they're touching the neighbor yeah I don't think this pencil is going to work for this application

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:48.160
all right where's my trusty razor blade this is like when Luke just uses the

00:04:44.440 --> 00:04:48.160
force instead of that tracking

00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:54.080
system I think I'm I'm pretty good here guys going into this I thought the

00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:58.800
definition of bent pin was like really leaned over and now I'm realizing it

00:04:56.520 --> 00:05:05.400
might just be like a little leaned over and that is worrisome

00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:09.800
aha oh she's in all right let's send

00:05:05.400 --> 00:05:14.600
it let's go 21 and A2 minutes CPU

00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:14.600
information AMD ryzen 5700 x 8 core

00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:22.919
processor plof that's the win condition you see plof you win Cent is running

00:05:21.280 --> 00:05:26.759
fine all the numbers are within expectations so I'd say we're done we

00:05:25.400 --> 00:05:30.810
made the money I hope the other guys are doing at least this well but

00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.269
who

00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:42.000
knows all right what do we got it's it

00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:45.319
looks like a couple of rows are bent but I think maybe I can get them all at the

00:05:43.400 --> 00:05:49.400
same time with like a razor or something I like to stick it onto something a

00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:52.639
little more substantial to hold on to just to make it easier so i' got some

00:05:50.919 --> 00:05:57.160
double-sided tape on a cork here probably better than a half dozen bent

00:05:54.080 --> 00:06:01.000
pins but they're not very bent this is

00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:02.199
almost like Not Bent enough like I don't

00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:05.960
think I would have tried to sell this on eBay I would have tried to fix it I'm

00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:10.080
pretty happy with that to be honest I think that's pretty

00:06:10.440 --> 00:06:16.440
good I think this is a broken ship that someone just kind of creatively bent cuz

00:06:14.520 --> 00:06:23.160
I would have tried to fix that myself all right here goes nothing

00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:26.520
3700x running 3600 mahz voltages are

00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:30.000
good CPU looks good let's see if we

00:06:26.520 --> 00:06:32.280
Windows here we go

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:40.069
that guy again everything looks okay to me let's see a c bench yeah not too

00:06:41.080 --> 00:06:48.360
bad M let's take a look at your chip okay this one I probably the one labeled

00:06:45.599 --> 00:06:52.680
me three pins on the very corner it seems oh and I see maybe one that's bent

00:06:51.039 --> 00:06:58.240
in the bottom right corner by the triangle so three missing pins and a

00:06:55.759 --> 00:07:02.720
slightly bent pin all right but three pins all beside other on the edge there

00:07:00.479 --> 00:07:06.960
and like the most open Edge the corner I'm probably I I think

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:11.720
I'm we'll find out the confidence is jumping up yeah

00:07:09.440 --> 00:07:15.759
jumping all over the place right like uh all

00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:22.280
right I I am not having fun I think even

00:07:19.039 --> 00:07:23.759
if my life depended on this I would die

00:07:22.280 --> 00:07:26.039
I like genuinely would not be able to get this

00:07:27.960 --> 00:07:36.479
done ah I I think it's dust yeah I think I got to call it I'm sorry no worries

00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.479
man you just give it a good

00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:44.280
try I hear you need some help Elijah had

00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:47.440
some trouble with uh soldering on some missing pins there I have tons of

00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:51.639
soldering experience and working on small electronics so I figured I might

00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:55.080
be able to do something all right so I'm I'm going to give a shot uh so yellow

00:07:53.280 --> 00:08:00.479
one to five then how confident are you probably about to six okay that's off

00:07:57.960 --> 00:08:06.360
The Confident all right take a look all right yeah he uh he mashed that one

00:08:03.280 --> 00:08:08.479
pretty good eh see for me it's not the

00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:12.479
getting them off part that's going to be difficult it's the getting them back on

00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:16.919
part is going to be fun first things first probably try just straightening

00:08:15.280 --> 00:08:21.000
out the ones that are still there are you still at a six uh steadily dropping

00:08:19.440 --> 00:08:26.120
down to a four so glad this isn't like a for real

00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:32.039
these things cuz I would have been fired no way all done all done got one that's

00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:37.640
time heck so how many more do you have to do

00:08:34.760 --> 00:08:42.120
uh eight okay that's not too bad though you think it's a viable side

00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:46.040
hustle not replacing pins unbending them sure but if you're replacing them

00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:50.120
there's no feasible way to make a dollar off this all right thank

00:08:52.800 --> 00:08:59.320
you now it's my turn oh dude oh there's

00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:03.600
a bad one I don't want any hints I don't want know how oh dude there oh there's

00:09:00.760 --> 00:09:08.920
two like that oh dang those are both pretty mangled and there's a fair number

00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:14.760
of other ones with minor bends all along the edges here what did they do to you

00:09:11.959 --> 00:09:19.519
my poor boy check it out just like the Scribe driver but a mechanical pencil

00:09:16.959 --> 00:09:24.399
that is awesome yeah where do I get it uh nowhere yet yeah got them wait you

00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:27.959
started already yeah jeez Jordan hey you were poking at pins before well I was

00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:32.440
just I was looking at it I was looking at it what I want to do is I want to

00:09:30.160 --> 00:09:40.160
really get under that pin and see if I can get it to slightly less bent over

00:09:36.760 --> 00:09:41.680
without ripping it off if I rip it off

00:09:40.160 --> 00:09:46.519
I'm going to have to put a new pin on it which means I need a donor CPU and I

00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:51.240
need a lot more time it's hard to get under this

00:09:47.880 --> 00:09:53.240
guy um you can really see boys that this

00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:56.880
is the smallest Flathead in the iix it kit and it's still kind of hard to get

00:09:54.640 --> 00:10:01.920
it under there wait I figured out what they did oh I

00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:05.959
think they put it into the socket the wrong way Jordan I wonder if they like

00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:12.040
had it the wrong had it oriented the wrong way or something dude that totally

00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:13.440
done uh I think I may have nailed it and

00:10:12.040 --> 00:10:18.880
the thing is it doesn't have to be completely straight y it just has to go

00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:23.720
in that'll get in there hey hey hey she's in now just because she's in the

00:10:21.959 --> 00:10:28.640
socket doesn't mean I want to fire up the board yet I want to see if I like

00:10:26.040 --> 00:10:33.560
really mashed one down because if I fire it up while I've got a pin Mash

00:10:30.800 --> 00:10:37.399
down who knows what's going to happen right at least that way I get another

00:10:35.959 --> 00:10:43.079
shot at it you only get one shot one opportunity

00:10:40.800 --> 00:10:50.160
okay okay I'm ready it's my okay so it took me 15 minutes ryzen 5 3500 how much

00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:57.320
I pay for this thing 30 bucks 30 bucks 30 bucks dude 15 minutes

00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:08.079
I did it faster well not the same CPU the point

00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:13.480
is that aside from some overhead here I can afford to pay myself 80 bucks an

00:11:10.079 --> 00:11:15.880
hour to fix this CPU dude I'm feeling

00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:19.320
good challenge number two for Mr lus I get a bonus CPU he gets two cuz neither

00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:27.440
of them is worth that much that's why they call me the boner oh dear cuz I get

00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:30.839
a bonus CPU and bonus Tech

00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:34.360
tips okay sorry what are we talking

00:11:30.839 --> 00:11:37.079
about this time I get a

00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:41.720
3500x this also seems like it's not in very bad shape wait is this just fine

00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:45.839
they said it's missing a pen I couldn't find it now occasionally you're going to

00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:49.560
buy stuff that's for parts and it's just going to be dead uh okay stop the clock

00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:54.760
I think I'm ready to test this thing because I do not see a missing or bent

00:11:52.880 --> 00:11:58.680
pin on it well she went in the socket easily yeah nothing was bent on it

00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:04.079
before this fires up or doesn't what's my potential profit here uh 15 20 bucks

00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:10.079
okay oh I just saw the keyboard light up holy crap did we just get a forart CPU

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:13.560
that's just perfectly fine no

00:12:10.079 --> 00:12:15.760
way six core processor all six cores

00:12:13.560 --> 00:12:19.170
there they freaking go she's turbo in baby yep and she seems like she's

00:12:18.040 --> 00:12:22.710
working just

00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:30.959
fine now what if I told you that actually is missing a pin a missing pin

00:12:28.560 --> 00:12:38.320
doesn't NE necessarily mean a broken CPU though sometimes they have unused pins

00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:39.560
or ground pins that are extra FAL pins

00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:45.760
if you will dude I feel bad about missing it

00:12:42.160 --> 00:12:48.760
though naughty lus eyes are getting old

00:12:45.760 --> 00:12:51.040
man here pop it out we'll take a look

00:12:48.760 --> 00:12:55.120
and there she is yep how'd everybody do uh so James took about 20 minutes how'd

00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:59.399
yours go took me about 8 minutes and I got it working fine how about Elijah uh

00:12:57.079 --> 00:13:02.839
Elijah had a bad time did we sabotage Elijah has never soldered before and he

00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:06.920
had one was missing three pins in the corner and uh it didn't go well Justus

00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:10.680
ended up cleaning it up and getting one pin back onto it in the time allowed

00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:16.040
it's it's been through some something to watch for is sometimes you can get away

00:13:13.760 --> 00:13:20.959
with sticking a little piece of metal into the socket that's as long as you

00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:25.240
can get a good contact here I actually had a CPU that I put into my parents

00:13:22.920 --> 00:13:30.000
system an old Tri cor I think it worked for about 10 years like that with a

00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:35.600
broken off pin on the CPU right yep but with a little slightly over long piece

00:13:32.800 --> 00:13:41.000
of metal in the socket so it would make contact should we try I was thinking

00:13:38.880 --> 00:13:45.600
maybe if that's memory Channel B maybe we could run it in single channel that

00:13:42.760 --> 00:13:50.320
CPU I dropped that Zeon back in the day where I dented the corner of it it did

00:13:47.880 --> 00:13:56.120
still work yeah just five of I believe six memory

00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:59.079
channels no way no way there could still

00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:06.000
be issues are all of those pins memory Channel B I'll double check cuz if they

00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:08.240
aren't then it might still work but

00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:12.759
maybe one of our PCI Lanes is not functioning properly right who knows

00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:17.600
that's all memory B dude she's in Windows she's in Windows brother I

00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:21.920
cannot believe that let's run the numbers James should be able to sell

00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:27.519
this CPU for about $135 and we're not able to completely

00:14:25.199 --> 00:14:31.399
ignore the cost of our tools but they are good for more than just unbending

00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:35.920
pins so let's take away a couple of bucks from his profit for that that

00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:42.040
leaves him with $64 of profit for just over 20 minutes of work a rate of $179

00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:47.600
an hour not too shabby assuming he can keep that pace up as for Team Elijah he

00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:53.360
didn't have such a good time after 2 hours his 5800 X only works with a

00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:58.199
single memory Channel now he might still be able to sell that I'll be it at a

00:14:55.800 --> 00:15:04.600
reduced price but he wouldn't be making even close cl to minimum wage as for

00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:06.160
Jordan's 3700x well doesn't have quite

00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:10.399
the profit potential of James or Elijah's chips but he made up for it by

00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:16.959
being quick he should be able to get close to 40 bucks after expenses or

00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:20.040
around 285 an hour though there's no way

00:15:16.959 --> 00:15:23.720
that that's a sustainable Pace as for me

00:15:20.040 --> 00:15:25.240
I spent about 16 minutes on my 3500 and

00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:30.800
really I just used the Precision screwdriver so I should see about $19 of

00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:36.160
profit coming back $71 an hour if you're playing along at home as for the 3500x

00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:39.639
well I didn't spend any time fixing this one and I could get 20 bucks of profit

00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:47.240
there too and I'm only out the time it took to test it and ship it not too bad

00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:49.920
but is this a viable side hustle well I

00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:54.360
think so but there are some caveats there is a lot of upfront risk I'd say

00:15:52.680 --> 00:15:59.000
it's important to make sure that you are picking chips with good potential profit

00:15:56.880 --> 00:16:02.560
picking ones where the seller clearly lays out what's wrong with them so you

00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:06.759
can claim something back if the issue is something else and try to get chips with

00:16:04.800 --> 00:16:11.720
as few bent pins as possible so you're not wasting a ton of time before you can

00:16:09.040 --> 00:16:16.319
