Cool idea! Maybe should try doing some local pickups so you can save on shipping next time?

13:35 The reason the molex is plugged in backwards is so the fan will spin at about half of its normal speed. For those not familiar with molex, there is no speed control. Automatic 100%. My guess is that they did that because the noise was too loud yet temps were still fine at the lower fan speeds. This was ONLY fine with NON LED molex fans, as flipping it backwards would kill your rgb controller.

I know it doesn't matter a ton but would be cool to see a benchmark before and after to see if some of the changes you made made a positive effect

I always enjoy the longer form content.

Love the new concept of this series and would like to see more.

i really liked it! more of that please! 😄

This was cool to watch!

I love these longer videos where you do flips like this. I still want to see a competitive Junkyard Wars style set of videos, though. You've got a fun team that does well on camera.

My initial build was picked up on FB marketplace for $250 5600G RX 6500 XT, 16 Gb 3200, 2 500 gig nvme. Basically a Lenovo T5, threw a $100 RX 6600 and its quality. Picked a 75 hz monitor for $20, also FB marketplace

That case is the NZXT Source 210. It was my go-to budget mid-tower case to recommend during the era, and even though it's dated by modern standards, it's still solid.

I remember this case. Think this one of nzxt most successful cases ever and what really put them on the map. Mine was absolutly loaded with drives.

3:48 Love the Animal Crossing background music lol

I like these kind of videos. Budget repairs! More interesting

Was an awesome video, now that you brought back an old FX build again, try hunting for a 1st Gen ryzen build Or same generation intel build comparable to that FX 6300.

As someone who still runs an FX-8350, I was thinking NOOOOooo when I saw you looking at this computer. It wasn't very good 10+ years ago, and has aged like milk.

nice!!! got the retro IDE cd-rom drives laying around! DO A BUILD around one of those!!!

Only thing of note, overclock your HT bus/fsb on FX cpus. It doesnt remove all your stutter, but it aleviates a lot of it

nice idea

For the love of all things holy, please run dark reader on your web browser. Thank you. ANOTHER great vid, nevertheless.

I built a pc for my dad for music stuff and just HAD to dig out an old dvd drive i had in a pc from 2005. It worked!

great vid bros

Dang that price I sold a fx4300 & gtx 660 for 100 a while back 100% working

The diff between that "broken fix up" at $360 versus a new budget build at $480 would suggest **WHY BOTHER** ... I have done the latter several times over last year and it is doable (and that is with Ryzen 4100, RX580, 512GB NVME, 16GB DDR4, etc.).

I would love to see a similar video in the $700 range!

Ibuypower used those cases for a long time. I've had several in phenom II x3, FX and early ryzen. Drive me crazy how the lines in the front were not square

About once a month I check out the local Goodwill. Maybe just like 25% of the time do I find something, but its worth it. I just get personal enjoyment out of turning e-waste into something functional who needs it.

I like those kind of videos. But I'd like to see more of the fixing part of it. So maybe like put extra budget for every broken part described in the offer or something...

I remember the Phenom 2 era when i bought my (still in use) Noctua Nh-u12p from 2009. I could not mount it on the side becuase of the brackets that came, they only let you mount it up, then they released for free mounting brackets for the AMD cpu for mounting it normaly haha. I still use the cooler in my 6600k rig. (i even got those mount for free) based Noctua

Where I live, these fx machines are hard to sell even at 50-100eur as working (have load of these). For 200 could sell You i5 7400 + NZXT aio, 16gb ddr4, asus B150M pro gaming, 256Gb m2 ssd, gigabyte 1070 8gb, deepcool tempered glass RGB case with 4x RGB fans. Works like a charm. Sadly as i live in far corner of eu, posting it would cost probably as much as system itself :( Usualy local auction sites and forums are where You find deals. Just got asus ROG strix Z670E board for 46 eur and some Z170/270 boards around 13-15eur.

Wish I had a family in the PC building business, it's hard work but fun!!!

For the next challange. I with like to see shipping cost removed on the budget. I sent my friend a ryzen 5 1600AE with tower cooler, b350 and the RX 470. To purchase a power supply and case it would cost more to ship to me and then to him. So I sent parts and his other friend rebuild it.

I have that same PC case with blue trim.

Good video. The AMD FX is old, slow but solid quality. But the old Intel X58 is in my experience still the best of the old platforms. Can top Sandy Bridge LGA1155, especially if you put in a cheap Xeon 6c/12t CPU. But even the old 4c/8t i7 models clocked easily to around 3.5 GHz, paired with 12gigs DDR3-1600 @triple channel, gets though the lag mud pretty good (not high FPS, but few lags). Older platform, but Better than AMD FX. (DDR3-1600 @triple-channel increases bandwidth to be comparable to DDR4-2400 @dual-channel (and has lower latency), and many modern games utilize memory speed pretty good.

Sooo - I think it would be cool with some DIY videos, so ofc not making gpu etc from scratch. But Tower, or ways to take a broken laptop/phone and few tools to make it work again would be cool. Like a laptop could easily be salvaged if it's screen and back panel etc is destroyed and through a very cheap controller board be connected to a monitor, if the monitor have USB C, a converter can be used to achieve 1 power input for the whole, then it's just about making a case on the back of the panel. The fun would be if you were still blocked by the same means as a budget pc, i.e you have to find a broken laptop/phone or w.e on a budget (For people who wish to do it themself they would prob. have the laptop and monitor at home, where the laptop just broke) then a cheap monitor, with usb c if possible. Some converter boards which are very very cheap to get some connectivity between the two. Honestly, above might not be the 100% right way, it's just an example of a possible way. Cause that could be fun, and it could be great for people to learn how to fix up their broken stuff and make us throw less e waste away. :) There is ofc. some methods that would require soldering, but im 99.9% certain that with type of repairs like this you will be able to buy the converter boards and connect them directly without having to solder. Because i've done something close to it with a phone i converted to a laptop once xD for my sister. Also DIY really makes for insane insane content, and something that really get's a lot of clicks :D So IT + DIY should get some wild numbers as well. :)

You should follow this particular one up later with an upgrade path video 'CPU memory and graphic card' bang for buck

If you are going to work with older tech, do you have SLI on your radar? Edit. Okay I see a dual GPU and Triple GPU in your video history, so that would be yes! Carry on!

Bigger budget and challenges please.

One man's trash is ToastyBro's new gaming PC that is heavily upgraded.

Early? Glad to see the vid bros🤞🏾

Next time try Lay-ups in instead of jumpers. :)

I like the idea for this video. Series will be nice 👌 If that is amd 990 chipset on the mobo, it should be able to support 64GB of ram, but since "regular" ddr3 doesn't come in 16gb sticks it should mean that you use the server memory. FX CPUs in combo with that mobo chipset (if it's actually 990) should be able to work fine with server ram. That's in theory, I never tried it since never had 64GB of ddr3 server ram so I can't confirm. If you have 16gb sticks of ddr3 server memory, you should def check it but just for "science" since I don't think there's much to be gained from 64gb ram. FX6300 can be OCed, has high enough max temp, it should...work 🤷‍♂️ Tbh idk what can you get from fx CPUs any more. Yes, they work, some people are obsessed - they just love them...games can be still played (not all ofc), older consoles emulators probably work great... Honestly I like you picked AMD FX instead od some Intel 2nd or 3rd gen computer, makes video more interesting 👏👌👍

Homie made money off the shipping also 😂

Hey guys maybe next episode you can install Linux on the older hardware. Great content. Toasty Bros Rule!!

It's a cool retro pc.

As a former ups store manager that packaging boils my blood.

I just found this channel honesty fire pc builds I’ll be ordering a pc from you guys when I save enough for a monster build 😂😂

My laptop gpu is saying it’s running at 55050% usage at idle . I used to get 120fps now I’m hard capped at 27fps . Any idea what’s going on ? It’s a 3050 laptop gpu 4gb

i remember building one of these brand new and had a set of gtx 560s sli never worked out but it was cool 4 4gb ram stix and a fx 6300 in a longyis area 51 case poor kids Alienware

whats the music used in ur videos?

My kid has that board with a 8350 in it right now lol

Can you do more of Thea’s videos I like them there satisfying

You can buy a better new pc with at least a relatively modern processor for those prices and get free shipping. Good reason to go with the workstation upgrade path.

I bought a PowerSpec pc with ani5 9400 and no graphics card on ebay for $150. Should have looked a little harder. Love your videos.

love the channel I'd love to send yall 1000 bucks nd have ya build an "All White" gaming pc.... nd make a video on it

I'm guessing you guys are not having the "Hang Up" issue with Fortnite. I've done all the recommended fixes per Epic games and KZfaq but I still have the issue. Sorry for posting something off topic but I am not able to play. I think it's a corrupted file within Epic/Fortnite. And yes, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the launcher and game numerous times.

W video

The 212 is the easiest cooler to mount. What are you on about?

its just cosmetic youll be ok toastybros lol

"ran when parked"

Do this again but raise your budget.

if i used some of the PSUS SSDS that you guys used i would lose alot of my business i build about 900 computers and repair over 1500 computers a year i use name brand stuff

If you would have gotten an FM2+ APU, then I would have sent you a sympathy card🤣

Hello friend, I'm sorry to bother you, but I need help, that is, now I have a computer with data: motherboard ONDA H81; cpu: I5 4440 3.10ghz, 8gb ram ddr3 and I have changed video card and power supply unit GPU gtx 1060 3gb vga and PSU deepcool de500v2 and motherboard; I want to change things and processor to ddr4 and which socket do you choose, which processor and which Micro ATX motherboard ? Also, if I check the power supply unit's watts, the total output is written as 350 watts, but they say 500 watts, but it works, and thanks in advance please help me🙏

My PC came without a PSU or storage and I paid $300. It ended up costing around $400 after adding the PSU and storage.

w series

HIGHER BUDGET

Make a build purchasing every part off the FB marketplace. The Kicker: Has to be able to run AAA titles with 30/60 FPS at 4K resolution.

Can you guys pls review this pc STGAubron Gaming Desktop PC, Intel Core i7 3.4G up to 3.9G, 32G RAM, 1T SSD, Radeon RX 5700 XT 8G GDDR6, 600M WiFi, BT 5.0, RGB Fan x 6, RGB Keyboard & Mouse & Mouse Pad, W10H64 it’s on amazon for $609.99 it’s in the hourglass case

They do these prices for shipping to avoid ebay fees D:

What do you think of build redux

Can you make a video making that pc better

Those prices seem high when you can buy a working Xeon workstation with quadro graphics for $250.

i like your your video dont get me wrong

Ok

whats the deal with 100$ shipping. That seems crazy to me

Great video, but I think you seriously overpaid for the initial PC. I like the idea of the series, but maybe make it a competition between the two of you each building a PC and make a rule that you have to make the initial PC purchase at a lower budget, eg. the initial purchase has to be a max $200 and you have $100 or $150 for parts and upgrades to finish the PC with anything saved from buying the initial PC under $200 being added to the upgrade budget..

msi gaming desktop aegis r 14nue7-680us intel core i7-14700f 16gb ddr5 1 tb pcie ssd geforce rtx 4070 super windows 11 home 64-bit

Didn't do to hot in basketball,... ... Those were some cringe worthy bricks you guys tossed. Ouch!

They overpaid for 256GB SSD on Amazon for the exact same price. You can get a 512GB SSD.

good video concept but y'all got fucking scammed. I know it's for content but the guy who listed that is definitely happy as hell somebody actually bought that pos.

ultra budget? paid more than 300 for an fx/gtx960 system, then there is me selling i7 4th/6th gen with gtx980ti's for the same price

EARLY ILY TOASTY BROS

Am i the only one who watches pc bros vids recently and am shocked by what theyre willing to pay / sell for. Like if i bought this pc local i would not pay mkre then 150... Maybe 200. And thats aud. Same with the pc they recently hought to flip on market place... They paid 500... And imo a pc like that should only 750ish... Which is rpughly 500 usd. The "deals" they find really just comes across as normal pricing to me. The fact they expect to make a profit on some of the systems they resell seems crazy to me. Espically after i looked at the disfusting pricing of there older systems avaloable for local pick up 🤮

The seller on ebay: Can I have it back? lol

I’m not sure if this comment will get seen or not but I could use some help with trying to figure out what hardware I need to use to build my first PC. The goal is to play Ark survival Ascended at 1440 with decent frames. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Nobody asked, but I have that Fanxiang 512GB 2.5 SSD and it struggled to run some of my AAA games. Buyer beware!! Go with nvme m.2 SSD new PC builders!!

Linus tech vs toasty bros who would win ?

Will you guys give me a free usb type c cable ?

Start with $400 and add $20 per shot.

I wouldn’t include shipping in the budget, just the cost of the actual system.

next pc 400$ and has to have an intel arc card

If you like wasn’t money on trash, I could use a pc 🥺. Would be my first but ik I’m meant to play on pc I use mnk on ps5 and I’d say I’m decent. I yearn to play on pc😫,, did I mention how much I love ur vids 🫶🏻

11:36 WHO WEARS SHORT SHORTS

Uve lost ur minds an fx 6300 build at that price LOL XD i couldnt get 1/2 that for it here if my life depended on it. Also i owned that fx cpu it was a stuttering nightmare mosta time could run a few gamees 1/2 way smooth but it was always there ...the stuuter u could set ur watch to it when when it wasnt to bad . ohhh an i wouldnt give any build with that cpu to worst enemy sorry for the negativity BUTT i just hada say someing this time . NORMALLY the like channel alot just sems u misfired on this 1

this listing says fx 6600 but in his description says fx 3600

i payed $170 for a motherboard 990 and 8120 fx in 2012 I beleive you overpayed.for your system more than a decade later. Also please don't buy these obselete systems. You can get much better value from AMD am4.

Funny how this video showed up today. I have been planning on building a $1200 PC this summer. I found a "for parts" 7900XTX for $350 on Ebay and a "open box" Ryzen 9 7950X3d for $375, but someone else bought those while I was doing my finals. The seller said that the card powered on but displayed no signal. That sounds fixable, but unfortunately, I will have to keep looking.

Hi

why they dont go on facebook

Y'all did a great job cleaning it up, but this was y'all's most disappointing video ever. I was expecting a lot more here. You took bought a machine listed as probably working, and all you had to do was clean for the most part. Y'all just picked the low hanging fruit. I hope y'all do better in the next episode.
