"E-Waste peripherals as fun to use as a home colonoscopy kit." The medical dictionary is still coming in handy I see David.

In my experience after replacing the prebuilt's preinstalled os past that any slowdown of the PC over time is down to user error. People installing all kinds of weird crud and expecting their PC to not suffer for it. The other day i saw a guy complaining his computer was slow while he was running a mining program on it in the background.

To be fair, the second comment could easily be user error. "My PC is slow now" is either aging hardware and newer software or just a user putting junk on it. I assume the PC came with a small SSD so it's probably full, can't cache anything etc.. Not to mention dust and all, that may increase temps and throttle the PC.

Generally theres a debug option in those bioses. If you hold shift and hit the f keys you may be able to get a hidden list of bios options. Some dell bioses had hidden overclocking features in those menus.

"Gonna replace my main gaming PC with this POS for a month" GIGACHAD!

I actually expected it to be from a no name obscure PC builder lol 11:20 WTF IT'S $1200?! FOR JUST A GTX 1650! I BOUGHT ONE WITH A 1660 SUPER FOR $949!! (Apparently in Canadian dollars but still bad).

Reseller here --- I've gotten 2 of the older versions/variants second-hand for dirt cheap. Probably because it's pretty amazing how poorly they perform out of the box. Upgraded ram, storage, & cooling then resold. Not horrendous if picked up cheap and upgraded. But, you should open up that GPU and take a look at how poorly the internal cooling is done. HWmonitor will reveal the truth about temps on that gpu.

I have a feeling that RAM speed limit is due to the PC only recognizing JEDEC speeds and not XMP/DOCP, like you saw with laptop ram kits before.

Love the before and after results with the ram configuration, after that outstanding Fortnite win!! Love the content dawid and I like how you actually read the comments.

Every time I see people commenting, I also see you personally try and respond to all of them. You are awesome man. Your ability to teach us about our favorite hobby all while giving us a good laugh is a godsend. I look forward to seeing these videos. I even go back and re-watch them. Maybe one day we can game a little together. I would love to have a brief chat sometime. Thanks again. You are the best. And not Best Buy(s) best. But the threadripper of tech tips.

Press "F" for Dawid for sacrificing himself to this PC

I bought this rig from a 2nd hand shop a couple months ago for around $400+tax as my first Project Desktop. After a week of diagnostics, reinstalling windows twice, and upgrading from 8g single to 16g dual ram (along with some other various tweaks) - it's been running quite well. Not the most terrible gaming pc in the world... if you find it at a decent price, anyway!

can i just say, your analogies are second to none on youtube! you constantly have my laughing my a@@ off in your videos, thanks for that!

I would have loved to see a quick compare of pulling the GTX and seeing how the 5600G fared with those two sticks of ram.

I think you need to invest in a second stick of 8GB green meenie ram that's exactly the same as the original and that should bring back that 3200 speed. Also if the system is slowing down progressively could this be indicative of an issue with the ultra budget NVME? I had a similar problem with an ADATASU635.

Another fine Dawid video with the sass other tech channels lack!

I feel like I've seen that case appear as a villain in a children's saturday morning cartoon.

The intermittent stuttering was likely due to the known fTPM issue with Ryzen and Windows 10 and 11. It's enabled in the BIOS when you were scrolling through there. Disabling that feature should make the issue go away. AMD said it will take BIOS updates to resolve and those are expected from motherboard manufacturers in May 2022.

I do actually still own and use the old Nitro 50 ( since its my only pc) and, its not that bad. i7 8700 Gtx 1060 6gb 2tb dual stick 8bg (16 in total , before had single 8 stick but i upgraded it) even if it was a showroom model which was running for years and was therefore cheap and even if one of the ramslots broke, it works surprisingly good ( and it isnt possesed by anything which is a plus)

Pretty slick seeing you liquid cool the GPU while air cooling the CPU! Total role reversal over a lot of builds. What's your whole build fan config? And what are you getting with your clocks?

Looking forward to your future video when possession has finally set in.

It's creepily similar to the computer I built, but they're charging twice the price. I have a slightly better graphics card(1650 Super) and dual channel, but yeah. If you delete the bloat it's not that bad value considering current prices.

If that OEM BIOS has any options for ram speed if would be under the CPU and chipset section of the advanced tab, which you skipped over without actually checking. But sadly many/most OEM's dont allow you to enable AMP/XMP as its considered overclocking and in Intel's case only the more expensive chipsets and K series CPUs used to support it.

I cannot imagine how many times I'd accidentally turn that thing off with a power button that big.

The peripherals aren't really ewaste if it works it could be a backup option if the keyboard or mouse breaks. At least that is my poor boy opinion

Normally I'd say don't even bother pairing the 8GB it comes with, and just buy a faster kit of 16gb.. but in this case, just buying another 8gb of the same thing, if you can find it, would be fine.. That and reload windows and you have a decent system.. albeit overpriced for what it is..

The ram problem is the exact same as a lot of other OEM systems. You need ram that supports the JEDEC standard in order to run at advertised speeds otherwise anything you put in there will be 2133 mhz

When one of the flashy stickers on the front of your new prebuilt advertises 'HDMI' like it's some fancy reverse-engineered alien technology, run away.

It's obious that the single chanel RAM was the Problem but what I would like to know ist the following: What difference would it have made if you put in a 8GM dual chanel set? Sure the game used ~12GB but games always tend to grab whats free if it comes down to RAM.

what do you do with all these systems

"Kind of like running a marathon after an amateur hip replacement." I don't come here for the tech. I come here for the amazing quotes.

That "proprietary" plug is a JST connector, a VERY common type of connector in electronics. You can make one yourself too!

I used my nitro 50 for 3 years and tbh it works great, even after upgrading my ram, not slow at all and average gaming performance. Although I know now to avoid prebuilts for future pc

Well 2133 is the base speed for DDR4 so I expected it, it is quite curious how they managed to get the single stick to run @3200 when there isn’t a bios option to enable it.

That SATA power connector on the motherboard is common in small-form factor industrial systems. Interesting to see it used here in a consumer-spec PC. I guess it helps with cable management since the PSU now needs fewer cables?

Dawid's videos are always edited nicely and the music is pleasant.

the only problem with the 5600G is it only supports pci-e 3.0 even if its being ran on a 4.0 motherboard, so a video card in a 4.0 slot only runs at 3.0 speeds, that is also weird it ran at a lower ram speed.Everyone knows if you put a stick of slower ram into a computer it down clocks all ram to that slowest ram speed but Ive never actually seen it down clock it lower than the lowest ram speed. Possibly a bios update will at least bring ut up to the lower clocked ram speed

Am I special now?

Going to have to look into that AK cooler, TY for the video :)

if this were my computer i would try to find the very specific module thats in there and purchase the exact same one. maybe it hits the rated speeds that way, and its cheaper to get a matching kit even if you spend more for the single stick (say 30 bucks for 1 stick vs 45 for 2)

AK629 is a great CPU cooler, The Pricing is amazing as well!

Hmm, i wonder if that 3200mhz stick of ram have that frequency as a standard JEDEC config Your Corsair rams although overclocked seems to be based on a JEDEC base speed of 2133mhz, because ofc it doesn't matter as you are supposed to enable XMP This little machine (and other pcs with basic af bios) is probably reading the SPD chip on the ram, seeing that its base JEDEC is 2133 and using that You wave 2 ways of fixing this, take an asus overkill mobo, cuz i believe they can allow you to write the spd chips on ram, at least my Z270 maximus Hero IX let me do that, and rewrite it with the timings you want, idk how you edit them tho so be careful with that Or look through your pile of single stick rams from trash pcs and get another 3200mhz, chances are these speeds are JEDEC because im pretty sure those naked sticks dont support xmp

The reason they have a sata power cable like that is because it's a 12V power supply, you don't have sata power coming out of the psu in those, you connect it to the board. That's also why there's no 24pin, but only what looks like a cpu power that goes to the board instead.

My first gaming pc was a pre-built Acer Predator UR100D back in 2014. 12gb DDR3 ram (dual channel) GTX 760 Core i7-4770 2TB HDD It worked fine for a while, even put a 970 in it for better performance. That cpu is actually still in use in a system my step brother has, and the 760 is still kicking in that same system!

Windows 10 on 8GB of single-channel was/is a painful experience... Windows 11 (which is basically an open beta - despite technically in general release) on 8GB of single-channel has to be something like getting every form of VD... at the same time... while having a raging case of COVID... and having your hair on fire.

It amazes me how a random person can watch a couple KZfaq videos and build a better pc than what a billion dollar company with lots of employees can do

Great video, really enjoyed returning to the horrible Acer system and can't wait for the update video(s). Thanks Dawid.

Dawid please never stop posting videos about your zany tech adventures.

How can they possibly sell these as "gaming" when they still use bios from literally over 20 years ago 😱

Just found your channel and REALLY enjoy the humor along with the info. You're doing a great job man. And yes, I have subscribed and liked vids

Looking forward to your month-long review on this computer!

Seems like you could probably put a mini ITX board in there Sleeper gaming pc perhaps?

A home colonoscopy kit sounds like hours of fun, as long you're not on the receiving end, but the administering end.

whenever I get bored I think: I wonder if dawid has a new vid, and every time he has never failed to deliver lol

I just love the sarcasm in your videos. I do have to be cautious because it is contagious… Sort of like system integrators using a single stick of RAM.

I think the SATA power connector coming from the motherboard means that the power supply and mobo are 12VO, which would be the first time I've seen it in the wild. Neat!

0:52 That "Below" sounded suspiciously like "Linode" well played Dawid. XD

I love all of the snarky and sarcastic analogies

I hope your next video is comparing the home colonoscopy kits you spoke of, I wonder what e-waste they come with

I bet it'll be okay! I mean, you definitely corrected the main issue needing to be corrected. Unless it has one of those audio drivers that goes rogue and uses the entirety of your RAM or some nonsense.

I love it whem Dawis talks aboyt PSÜs, CPÜ cÖÖlurs and other PC comÜnents. Makes my day every time 😁

Do you do the tear down after doing the tests? Bc u might mess up the results by not running it stock like temps (you might make it better 😅)

Yeah about the 2133 mhz I was 100% expecting that. As someone from eastern Europe almost every time I've worked with ddr4 it would be on some hottible motherboard that wouldn't allow changing ram speed so it would be stuck at 2133, absolutely horrible.

1:48 I look forward to the interesting ads that I get now that I've googled, "Home colonoscopy kit."

Acer bios usually automatically enable X.M.P profiles on ram but only specific ones seem to work properly. I had an Acer laptop that enabled xmp without any bios changes

Dawid’s computer collection would make a system found at the bottom of a landfill look like the fastest computer known to man

The fact that you can go to a local pc shop and have then build this for a 3rd of the price

A home colonoscopy kit could be a lot of fun to use...imagine just watching the monitor as you use a joystick to wiggle a camera around in your colon: "Oooohhh...polyp 360 noscope!". An e-waste keyboard is just gonna wreck your day, your week, your month, or even your year...especially if you are used to a mech keyboard.

Loving that Deep Cool AK620! Thanks for showing it in your personal rig. Do you figure to keep rolling with it? Or is it just in there for a promo?

You know your favorite youtuber is gaining influence when Acer listens to him on not one but two huge flaws in their front panel design. They lit up the monobrow AND ditched the dvd-rw drive!

Nothing in the video has been provided at all but glad the sponsor comes in full length already.

It looks like the power supply is only delivering 12v.That would explain why you hooked up the Sata power connector to the motherboard. The motherboard is where the voltage conversion is taking place.

The king of naming conventions, I crown thee Dawid! 😊 Always enjoy your videos!

You forgot to mention that the case has optional punch-outs for COM and LPT, just in case you want to connect your early 90s printer :)

Looking forward to seeing how long you can stick it, rubber up!

I'm happy to watch this new episode of David does 15fps gaming on a boiling hot computer.

I just knew you were going to test with more RAM later, it had to be done! GJ

I have that same processor, and I can't see myself putting anything less than, say, the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus/Evo on it for cooling. I mean that's the minimum I would use (that's what I use in my build, but I also have a full tower case with plenty of fans so it keeps it cool and I suspect the OEM AMD fan would have worked too as I don't overclock my system). Speaking of proprietary connectors, I had a few HP computers that were like that. Had one that could hold (4) 3.5" drives, but the sata power cables had to be plugged into the motherboard (and the motherboard used a 20 pin connector, not a 24 pin) but did have the 4-pin 12V connector (as most PCs do). The computer even had (4) SATA ports but as to why it only had power support for two devices puzzles me. Of course I could have gotten some SATA power Y-cables I guess. But it just seemed to be too many compromises for no real reason. It also used some proprietary connectors that went to the motherboard, basically making an aftermarket replacement not possible. I think the biggest complaint I would have is the price. I think that it would be possible to build this same system (with the 8GB of RAM) for a little less and get better components. I mean you can find the Ryzen 5600G opn sale for around $200, 8GB of RAM is probably something like $50 or $75. 500GB SSD is maybe $100 for a good one, Power Supply maybe $100, case $50, and Windows for around $130. Video card may be the one gamble as you may have to pay upwards of $300 for the 1650 now (used to be as cheap as $200).

i have the intel version of their Nitro 5 laptop, the AN515-5700. Not only was it cheaper than this at sub 1,100 USD, but its also better in nearly every way, it would be interesting to see a comparison between this and that.

Can you test the difference between having the wrong orientation for dual channel ram vs the correct configuration

Greg's fix or flop series had a pc from best buy prebuilt with a lemon nvme, started failing after 7months of use

Your sense of humor and comments are hilarious and catch me by surprise every damn time

Hey there.. on your ram upgrade.. try getting some 3200 ram that runs at 1.2v. HP and Lenovo do the same thing (although the new HP Omen Bios update allows for XMP finally). You may find that if you use ram that runs native 3200 at 1.2v vs needing XMP and 1.35v, you get the benefit of the faster ram without needing to mess with the bios.. Cheers Rick

Awesome video. Is there an update video somewhere?

6:54 My brain was all, "Oh, shit! You're going to run that red light?!" and then I remembered what it was that I was watching.

Dawid, please, turn on frametime graph in msi afterburner for your tests! I think it would be really nice to see whether these games are stuttering or not, especially with a single ram stick.

I saw this video exactly a month after release. Perfect!

Dawid, could you add Amazon Canada links if you do similar sponsors? If you can, that is. Also, what's the program you use on your game tests for your GPU/CPU readings? Love the channel.

If you can't configure RAM in the BIOS, consider Ryzen Master.

I'm getting a 10900K and I was looking for a fan to cool it, I saw that fan and immediately went to the description and bought it, hopefully it works out!

DAMN DAWID! Is that chisel I see in the background because those arms cut!

The thing about a home colonoscopy kit is that it's more fun giving the colonoscopy than getting the colonoscopy. It's just like Christmas!

I would love to know if you can upgrade the BIOS or flash a new BIOS that allows you to change the ram frequency.

You should do a test when you run like discord and youtube in the same time in the background as most people talk in discord

i got one brand new on clearance for 500 bucks cad (last gen). stuck some more ram in it works great, been using it for 6 months now. no problems super quiet light gaming and mostly photoshop digital painting is my main use. photoshop runs great on it.

I can't get over that monstrous power button. Wonder what the design idea was behind that.

YOU MISSED they are using moles adapters to power the 4 pin motherboard connector .... while the 4 pin from psu is unused .

Looking forward to the Alma carnage! (and maybe your efforts to recover from it?)
