Techwando 2025-09-01 | The customer reached out with an older system that I had once built. He redid the system into a server/rack like case and wanted to use it for a home server. Upon closer inspection we found some serious issues. I also might have made the situation worse. You tell me...

Was This Customer Scammed? | Boot or Blue Screen EP 7

Techwando 2025-08-19 | This customer was bought a $160 PC and was immediately blocked on FB. As a long time builder I can tell this was sold by someone closing shop or trying to move bad hardware on purpose. I see this a lot in my local area unfortunately. This video is going through the steps to get this pc back up and running. Even though I do not recommend doing this.

Here are the parts I bought:

Why do reviewers DISLIKE this case so much? | MasterFrame 600

Techwando 2025-08-12 | The PC industry has slowed innovating in case design, but there are a few like HYTE who bring some unique products. In my opinion the new Cooler Master Master Frame series 500/600/700 bought some innovation with its modularity and custom aspects. In this video we go through the pros and cons of this new case.

A couple things to note in this video...
I made a mistake at the 44 second mark, those are not coaxial cables they are component cables.
also I should have used quite a bit less flux. I went a little overboard. let me know your thoughts below!

The DIRTIEST Desktop PC that Ive ever seen

Too good to be true? OR the BEST $60 Ive spent on a combo deal?

Techwando 2025-06-22 | 45 minutes way one isn't too bad of a drive and $60 USD isn't a ton of money for PC parts, but I had no idea if any of this stuff would work.
This video is mostly about that adventure and some problems I ran into along the way.

Here is the budget CPU cooler:

Can This 18 CORE $35 CPU Game?

Techwando 2025-05-27 | I built a PC to potentially use as a home server. X99 platform has become the new go to for budget Xeons and older I7s. I wanted to see if this Xeon can actually game, given its low clock speeds and core strength overall.
Check out the video, let me know your thoughts, and here are some parts from the last video if your were interested in building something similar

Techwando 2025-05-03 | my friend dropped off a bunch of parts to test out and build a budget PC. In the parts was some older stuff, but one thing caught my eye. The X79 motherboard with its pretty rare i7 CPU.

How does it hold up today? Let's build it and play a few games to find out.

NVIDIA Took 2 months for BASIC driver fixes? | RANT / PC Build

Techwando 2025-03-22 | I know, I know ...the thumbnail is a bit aggressive...
That being said how does Nvidia launch a series of cards with drivers that make AMDs worst look good?
black screens, frequency issues, login issues, PhysX, BSODs, melting connectors. The list of negatives are crazy to go over.
This video is a rant about the RTX 50 series cards and my experiences.
also there's a build going on that doesn't exactly correlate with the video subject material, but is there for entertainment purposes.
Enjoy, let me know your thoughts.

Techwando 2025-03-15 | This video is a bit all over the place so bare with me! I was on the hunt for a decent card to replace my recently sold RTX 4090. Found an amazing deal for $750 USD. While I was on the road, I noticed the guy I was meeting lived right next to Microcenter. I walked in and to my SURPRISE there was GPUS. 3 of them to be exact. Watch the video to find out more, thank you everyone.

I paid $100 for this GPU, Is it worth picking up today?

Techwando 2025-01-28 | Before the Green team realized that their Titan naming scheme was bad for sales... these were the 90 class of the past. With a $1,200 MSRP, you can now find them at a 10th of what they originally cost. All that being said, should you pick one of these up? Well that depends. Ideally a RTX 3060 would be the best choice, but if you find one for $100 I would say go for it.
Watch the rest of the video for my full opinion. Thanks!

The FLOOD of RTX 4090s has introduced a new SCAM...

Techwando 2025-01-11 | First off, I am aware that this scam is NOT new. That being said, I have not seen it locally in volumes like this before.
I think it is important for our PC part hunting fellow friends and family to be aware of this situation. These scammers are making a ton of money off this and it will continue as long as people are falling for it.
Make sure if you are going to buy one of these cards to inspect it very close to see if the die is actually missing from the card.
Let me know your thoughts, thank you all so much!

Was this PAWN SHOP PC worth it? - Stress Tests & Methodologies

Techwando 2025-01-06 | I try to do my best to talk people out of buying the wrong thing even if it's something that I am selling for my personal gain.
In this video, I had a guy reach out to me on Facebook marketplace looking for a PC that could perform well at Ultra/high settings in the new Indiana Jones game. Knowing how hard that game is to run, I told him I actually didn't have anything I could sell him that would comfortably run it at the settings he desires.
So I helped him find a PC locally on a pretty quick timeline as he seemed to have been on the hunt for a while now.
After looking around for a bit, he showed me this PC that came from a pawn shop that I had previously purchased PCs from and it happened to a be a pretty good deal all things considered.

In this video we will test the PC and go over my testing methodologies.

THIS is the best DEAL I ever got

Techwando 2024-12-27 | In this video, I decided to surprise my cousin (basically a brother to me) with a brand new workstation PC. He has been kind enough to include me in a lot of his work recently, so I wanted to pay back some respect with one of the BEST DEALS I have ever gotten on Facebook Marketplave.
A free i9 CPU along with a motherboard and 128GB of DDR5 Memory.
This might be the best score I have ever gotten over the years,
Let me know what the best score you have gotten. Thank you for all the support from the people on my channel who always are interacting and leaving input. I appreciate you all so much.

How fast will an ARC Gaming PC SELL vs Nvidia or AMD. lets find out...

Techwando 2024-12-18 | In this video, I will be attempting to sell a PC with an ARC GPU in it. It has been over a year since the last time I tried this. The first few times I sold PCs with A770s and A750s, the buyers who were mostly uniformed, were not happy. Mostly due to backwards compatibility with games which INTEL has ironed out over the last year or so.

Techwando 2024-11-27 | This video is mostly a talking head video so feel free to minimize. For those who want to watch, we are testing a few RTX 4090s from PNY. These have nothing to do with the Intel and Asus RMA, but will be going to PNYs RMA department. Killing a few GPUS with one stone (:

I found a $30 PC, does it work?

Techwando 2024-11-21 | Lately the market has been crazy, people are practically giving away old hardware. and some of these older builds really do hold up well. Especially for esports titles or simple tasks., homework, browsing, etc.
When browsing Facebook just recently, I found this "PC CASE" listed that clearly had components in it. I made a bold decision to drive kind of far (too far) to see if the parts where included.

A Stranger brought me their BROKEN gaming pc | Boot or Blue Screen EP 3

Techwando 2024-11-11 | People reach out on Facebook marketplace with broken gaming PCs a ton! I feel that these videos make great educational content and I wish I could help them all, but I would need to find a sponsor deal like Greg Salazar has with BeQuiet/Gigabyte/MSI.
So if anyone sees this let me know...
I'd love to make more of these style videos. I have been troubleshooting hardware since 2012, and there have been very few PCs I had to give up on.

If you enjoyed the video, leave a like or a comment and I'll do my best to respond. Thanks again.

Also thanks to my friends and to the channels that helped me along the way. I am a very basic solderer at best.
