It was a mildly damaged as well, which meant the side panel couldn't close properly in today's when we're giving this system a bit of a cleanup, reassembling it and then seeing what a combination like this the comprises Oven FX 83 28 Gigs of Ram Under radio on our night, 3 80 can do in terms of gaming.

First things first.

I removed all of the components from the chassis so that they can be cleaned individually, and this way we can reach all of those hard to access places inside the case without damaging anything to clean the case, which, to be honest, isn't that dirty?

I'm just using a cloth to gather the loose dust.

While doing this, I noticed that the motherboard standoffs were loose as well, just like everything else that once lie within this case.

So I tighten these up to and replace the few that didn't quite fit.

I don't know who built this, but I'm more concerned by the fact that got through quality control in this state.

After all, the first PC build, if this is that, won't always be perfect.

First time.

We also need to deal with this wonky nous issue.

Having three feet doesn't suit a case designed to sit flat on.

Because the 4th 1 had snapped off in the shipping boxes and was unable to be repaired, I decided that for now, I take them all off.

That's where my body here comes in.

After a successful operation, it was time to address the dent.

I know it's not fixable, but I just needed to get it into a position that would allow the side panel to go on and shut something which is currently not doable.

Hello again, old friend.

Seriously, though, what I wanted to do was to straighten up the surrounding metal a bit, and I found that a pair of pliers and a few gentle taps with a hammer sorted.

The worst of this case is problems out, it's still dented.

But as I said before, the flat edges mean the side panel can now sit on it properly and close.

Even if there is a little gap with the case, killing the components could go back in.

The power supply was up first, and this really wasn't dirty It all it had a thin layer of dust settled atop the fan, but a quick blow of air and across wipe soon sorted.

This.

The reason I'm installing it back in here this way up is because it won't have any breathing room pointing downwards due to the recent absence off the case feet.

If this was a top mounted power supply, I'd be fitting it the other way round.

The earlier adjustment of the case metal with the pliers also meant that this now screwed into place properly.

You might remember from the last video that one of the screws went directly through the P S.

U instead of the chassis itself because it was walked so badly screwing improperly also pulled the back of the case into place a bit more.

I'm not too concerned with aesthetics in this one.

I just want to get everything cleaned and working for starters, So forgive me if this isn't exactly the most by the book PC Building video.

By that, I mean, I'm addressing the cut corners by building my own slightly curved roads.

The DVD drive was next to go back in, having being white of dust.

Apart from that, this, too was in great condition.

I really like the screw this design of this case, which allows us to attach both optical and hard drives with these using these open and close clips.

The next problem was this liquid cooler.

It seems that it was hanging off because it was missing a part of the bracket.

The previous owner had tried screwing it down to the original heat sink back plate.

This both annoyed and inspired me because course there wanted £10 for a new bracket kit, and I didn't want to spend any money.

I came up with a way to properly attached this, using the materials at hand on a few metal nuts, I fitted the other two after the camera decided to run out of battery and then began the reinstallation off these components.

Is it a good idea to create a makeshift liquid cooler attachment.

Using a few old nuts I found in the shed.

Well, all I can say is is that it worked and it's extremely secure, much more so than it was before hand.

You're not getting my tenor course air.

As I refitted the motherboard, I had time to think about where I was going to put the radiator.

I thought about the top of the system, which would allow me to fit another rear facing fan.

But I quickly realized the screw holes didn't line up on this conflict would block the motherboards eight pin CPU connector.

I don't know why.

Just not reinstall it, how I found it with the radiator at the back and the fan just behind it.

This certainly doesn't look right to me, but the placement of the fan in the direction totally depends on your personal preference.

I did it like this is This is how it was when I first opened the case up, and I want to experiment a bit with different positions to see if it makes any difference to noise or calling.

Either way, though, I really disliked liquid calling.

Give me a joint not to a fan any day with this in place.

It was then time to pop the single stick of DDR three back in place, which actually looks brand new.

I think despite the build floors, this system may have been cleaned up a little bit before being sold to C E.

X by the previous owner.

With the majority of the main components in, it was time to hook up the cabling.

Always do this before installing your graphics card, as that will just get in the way, especially if it's a large GPU that takes up multiple slots.

This part is just like putting together a specific Lego kits.

Everything has a place, and there is only one place for each cable.

Some of the boots also have the positions for front panel connectors printed on them.

Everything you need to know can usually be found either in the motherboards paper manual, all the online one at the manufacturer's site if you bought your part secondhand.

There are also plenty of bill guides on YouTube that go into great detail about everything after doing this and not forgetting to hook up the easily forgettable Satur cables, which I've done in the past, it's nearly time for the graphics card.

It's always worth having a double check when it comes to making sure you've plugged in all the cables correctly.

And in this case I'm just finishing up connecting the USB, the audio and those aforementioned front panel connectors to which I always leave to last because they seem to be the most fiddly cables in the hole off the chassis, or at least the hour.

In my opinion, it's time for the graphics card.

Now I clean this up a little bit by wiping any dust off and blowing on the fans with some compressed air.

But again, it really wasn't that dirty.

This is Thies, Sapphire Jewel.

Exe are 93 80 a two gig video card released in May 2015 as a mid range option at a time when the Fury X was top dog installing.

This is simple.

Just slotted into the slot, screw it down with the case bracket and hook up the required power connectors.

This is probably the simplest step of all in any PC build made even simpler.

If you're using integrated graphics is, you won't have to install a GPO.

It's all always make sure the power supply is good enough in terms of power output, though, and that includes the required connectors.

And that's all she wrote.

It's time to see if it turns on and doesn't immediately overheat like it did before straightaway.

I noticed a drop in idle temperatures, down from their 50 degrees to 33 With the CPU fan profile set to silence, it seems our makeshift bracket solution worked, so it's time to check out performance, according to Cinnabon Trial 15 The Ethics 83 20 here is just a few points behind the eye 5 46 70 k, which has proved itself in the past to still be very capable in a lot of modern games.

When it came to the aforementioned, I had to record gameplay 2007 style because there were a few performance problems and to ensure it wasn't my capture device or any recording software, I thought this would be for the best.

It turns out, though, that it was in fact, all hardware related.

The CPU intensive Battlefield five proved to be the most problematic, with frame dips and stutters cropping up here and there during this level and others, the average frame rate was actually okay, though.

Now, as we play through some other games, you'll see that in some instances, the GPU was the limiting factor on in others the process that was the limiting factor, like in the battlefield.

Five game play just gone.

To be honest, this system will do OK mainly a 10 80 p with medium settings across most titles.

But there will be some games where it will struggle.

Perhaps due to the two gigs of RAM on the GPU or the fact that the FX 83 20 isn't all that great anymore, it's still okay.

Don't get me wrong, but I think if you're building a brand new PC, then it makes much more sense to go for something like a rise in five.

Even a rising 5 1400 back even Horizon through 1200 will do better than the 83 20.

The aim of this video was to get the system working again.

All that really needed to be done in order to achieve that wants to fix the liquid cooling system.

I wouldn't say we completely fixed it, but we made a little makeshift solution here.

It seems to have done the job on these PC seems to be up and running just fine.

For the time being, it is a shame about the case being damaged and all.

But I think in terms of the price we paid £195 for the components that we got.

It wasn't such a bad deal, especially when you think about the power supply.

For starters, that's inside this thing and how it can still go for at least £50 on the used market at sites like eBay.

That's the thing about buying pre built pieces, especially when there's not much of a detailed description, which is often so common with C E X.

They won't give you a detailed description of, like the motherboard or the type of RAM.

When it turns up.

It can sometimes be a nice surprise.

This was by no means a difficult fix.

But I think if you are purchasing from these guys, then just be aware that what you get may not be exactly what you're expecting.

I guess the same could be said with any pre built PC from anywhere for more often than not, sites like eBay will generally give you a good idea of what your system is going to look like.

With all that said, I hope you've enjoyed this one.

I'm glad we've got this thing up and running once more.
