This episode of Scrapyard Wars was brought to you by dbrand
Alright Scrapyard Wars Day 3 our internet is down
basically we're upgrading to one gig and
and
I don't know how many of you are Canadian or have heard of telus, but they're sort of legendarily terrible and
and
There was apparently some kind of data entry error while they were
Changing our internet. Yeah, I guess they were probably typing with their faces as usual
So that kind of probably hampers me a lot more than anyone else which
Really sucks because now we're supposed to be the time that I was
Finishing downloads and installs, so I guess
what I'm going to do now is
Try to install everything onto the board which is actually what I wanted to do later, but whatever
this is ridiculous, but
if it works, who cares?
DisplayPort no signal oh
good call, so let's get the graphics card out of the
equation oh oh, I saw something flash like half a second yes, we have video okay, okay guys ah
That's kind of what I was afraid of that four pins probably not gonna be enough to keep the cPU fed
Like I expected I would things not really tall enough because I didn't take into account the height of the Velcro
Okay, well, that's good. It's mounted and
It's still posts so ha that's that's a good sign
So we moved where we were if you didn't notice because it will hopefully be better for filming reasons or whatever yet?
But we should be theoretically sitting at about three gigahertz
And I think our memories still at about 720 MHz CPU is running at 3.3
.24 GHz I
must have screwed up, but I made it faster than I expected
And it's not crashing
might need a bigger pilot hole but we're going to see
The wood was not super happy about that. I can't wait for the comments on this
Oh my god look you did that so wrong. I literally have no idea what I'm doing I?
Really don't know if this is Gonna
Help me tie the fishing line at all
I was hoping these were grippier than my skin, but I don't know if that's true anymore. Oh
It does totally same be true. That's awesome. Okay?
That's good. If this overclock works
Honestly, I'd be happy
I think with this overclock and you're going to have on the CPU but I'll have about three hours left
So what I need to do is save this overclock to a profile. I already have my CPUs overclock safe to a profile and
Hopefully doing a little bit more cable management stuff just to make it look better even though that's not a metric. It would be nice
Please hank off apply
It did [not] like that
Okay
after the Benchmark ran it crashed
And I don't know why it crashed
So what I need [to] do now is figure out if it was my gPU or if it was my cPU, thanks
so what I just did was I changed my overall total power limit from 150% to 125%
and I changed my applied voltage from 100mV to 50mV
Whoa what?
Okay, my GPUs not very happy right now
It's not hot and because I'm a voltage or something
Okay, so I turned things down, and they're actually running faster. So at three hundred and ten dollars. I just got
Damn, why does it keep doing that?
At the same part after like the same amount of time
Okay, so after some troubleshooting. I think I know what's going on. So we instead of using our to like really crappy power supplies
We're using one power supply
That's somewhat decent, and this is now powering the graphics card
And it's got eight pins to the CPU
So the 8-pin was absolutely the problem the 4 pin it was enough to get it to post
But it's not enough to actually do anything
So the CPU I feel like as good as long as we have an 8-pin. We've now switch on the power supplies
So that the graphics card has its own dedicated power supply the power supplies enough to spend the fan fully up. That's good
So we're still using the 4-pin
It's not going to be stable whatsoever, but this is more to just see if our two power supplies. Yes, it's posted, okay
We're in business. We're in business
so the only thing we basically need to do right now is get the
4 pin
24 Pin Plus Bollocks adapter, okay success
We have the one tiny adapter that [cost] seven dollars that we needed so with our new 8-pin
We can see that the cPU is boosting up to like 3.6 gigahertz or so and it's coming back down
But it seems to be working look at this. We're stable one hundred percent and with only the four pin this immediately crashed. [oh], [no]
memory Management
No
It didn't do anything. It's just as unstable as with the four pen oh no
maybe
[it's] the power supply. Maybe they're just this this 300 watt supply is just not enough to power it. Okay. It's basically right now
We've swapped out remember
We bought with some other memory just to see if it's the ran the problem um
I mean, this is a brand new state
This is like the only brand new component the built so be really weird if this was the part that didn't work
This is longer than it was before the memory may have been the issue. We may have got some defective brand new memory
Wow
The only other thing we can think about is trying this ram in a different slots
I'm going to start stress tests, so it only lasted like five seconds before
[wow], is this Gonna be stable was it literally just changing the slot on the motherboard?
Yes, dude high five
Your us okay at this point
Let's tear this stuff down. Oh, no. We should probably a game. Let's play a game okay. Oh, yeah
Yes, uh which one thing with this build something is rear with his mother board it freaks out every single. Oh yeah
So we have to go return this memory because it's broken and it just fell out. That's awesome
Two o'clock we have less than two hours to make sure this works and build the whole computer get benchmarks ready
We do not have another opportunity if this does not work. We [might] just be out [of] it. Oh
Coming down to the wire
Scrap yard wars we'll be right back after these messages
this episode of scrap yard wars is brought to you by D brand makers of the precision cut vinyl skins that you'll see on the

She posts
Tis a good sign well either our motherboard has two dead PCI slots or our sound blaster audigy two
is Dead
Fortunately we grabbed the couple sound cards at the time, so let's go ahead and try another one
So our internet's down at the office this morning
Which has made progress a little slower than I'd like, but there is good news
I've got windows seven installed my graphics card seems to be working for the most part
Although I haven't run anything 3d yet because I don't have drivers for it at the moment
There's some bad news though both my audigy two which I had high hopes for and my sound Blaster live are
Dead so I will have to accept that I will be running a system. That only has hDMI audio
Oh, oh whoa. Oh he [said] over up
We're up internets up yay
so this is exciting because I
am many hours away from
Competition crunch time and I've got almost all of my benchmarks installed all my drivers installed I can start getting
Baseline readings and then tuning things and finding out how us from there, okay?
7 6 5 Fps average, I'm feeling a little tense today. It's 12. I haven't started my build yet, and
this initial Sin Avenge run is
Really ugly like if those guys
ran out and got a
3770k or something like that they'll be pulling off triple
My score. Thanks to the improved architecture hyper-threading and at least unlike Austin
I'm not running around picking up components now because I'm fairly certain. They did not go for lunch
So for the benefit of our competitor over there
I'm gonna do a quick run-through of all the awesome components that I've got over on my side
first
this Gaming Grade Motherboard
Look at that
That's a gaming sound it can be Pac-man
Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope nope
Next up we have the finest power supply ever made
I mean it was a miracle that I was even able to find these let alone afford it with my budget
next up this genuine
USB 2.0 for port expansion card and
56k Modem Gonna need one of these I don't want to tell them about that though. It's my secret weapon
Massive Cooler or like wicked overclocking until seven fifty series PCI Express
Ssd. We didn't even pay [for] that and
This put the 730 series ssd you down again
Yeah, that doesn't really sound right I
Don't think that's a 750 series ssd blah blah blah. I'm just standing over here lying about what computer parts
I have my name is linus my voice isn't quite that high
Put one of our 750 series ssds away for now guy up to I always had to
So this is actually broken
Fortunately we have so much extra hardware
That literally half of our parts could be broken and we would have no problem whatsoever
So I'm just gonna go get another one [all] [right]
So just in case I brought some of our extra extra hardware that isn't the stuff that we actually need you know right now
Just installing our bolt on hemi. They're lying to us and we were so honest with them about the computer that
We're building
You don't believe that. I have a heavy
Well, I did believe you I
wanted to believe
I'll just moving stuff around to try to do cable management
and
the computer Froze up
Hopefully, that's not actually a problem. It's probably just random
old hard drives and stuff
My computer straight answer we've probably anymore. I don't no idea. What happened
blue screen randomly, and now it does properly
I'm pretty disappointed
so we
Just went from our game benchmark acting weird to our computer completely not turning on
To our computer turning on but now windows is freaking out and Super unhappy
I moved the graphics card down one slot because
Free geek vancouver said that that top slot wasn't working. I had no problems with that top slot working, but I'm just trying to
minimize issues at this point because there's about three hours to go and
I really want to be running all of the
Benches that I have to run and know what my scores are going to be before I walk into the final
So I'm in the process of building my troll system. Which has all of the worse of
Every component that I have like this is [like] legit like one of the most stress moments my whole life
That's a slight exaggeration there like I'm super hardcore stressed right now. Oh man. Did do we actually do it I?
Don't know get my hopes up right now, but like this looks good. This is the only cpU-intensive test
If it finishes this thats pretty much means that we're good nothing else should hit the cPU this hard for this long
All right, we're business do that's awesome
oh
Look at that like butter wow
It's perfect. It's actually not that bad
Everything else has just been like typical sort of like random computer problems like dead memory or like not having the right adapter or whatever
But if it works together, we did a great job it is terrible
But you just literally told me to do this like five seconds ago, and I agreed what have we done dude
This is not cool. Have we done
You you're right 30 seconds ago
You were taking credit like this is all Austin net we're such a great team
Then we actually see what it is like. I have nothing to do with this
The greatest thing ever terrill taste looks fine
There's a lot [of] it, but it looks fine. Oh my God
Yeah, there's still gunk in the cPU socket that could super be what it is. Oh wow
It's currently
226
Meaning assuming. It's 230 we've got an hour and a half left, so
If that was the problem, I think I'm still doing okay. If that wasn't the problem
I could be totally screwed at this point my computer doesn't make it through fire strike. If I completely fail a benchmark
I'm done
So right now. We're testing CPU overclock only no gPU overclock
We just did a successful fire strike run completely all the way through with no overclock that were testing
3.24 on this guy oh
I can't believe it. Just crashed I
feel like sick
Like I don't feel good at all if that just crashed because of the overclock
That's fine. If that does crash for any other reason. I'm screwed
so as of right now if I apply
Literally any amount of overclock my CPU, my memory or my graphics card
Even one at a time. I can't run a benchmark. I earn 50 gigs isn't right oh is 150 card try oh
No, it's not big enough. We only have 100 th hard-driving. There's a 200 gig ssd
We have to install windows from scratch because we don't have any way of finding window. We don't have time. Oh
Yeah, I've got it. You mix it may be awesome. We have a flash drive. Oh, you sure you tell me that I did oh
And upstairs to you
I'm gonna be slightly late, so leslie
Yours a lot
Ok so our cPU temperatures are well within reason and we're going to do some stability testing at 3.2
Gigahertz and go back and work on our troll system here we go
I don't know if our toll system is going to end up working. I have tried to get it to post
I've tried to separate motherboards and
honestly, we're at the point now where I don't have a ton of extra time to spend on it, so
I'm still going to go over there and like be working on it from time to time
But I'm probably better off focusing right now on
my main system because I only have an hour and 40 minutes to dial in a gPU overclock and
Mod the case and building it
Those are the three main Modz.
Make the Motherboard fit.
Make the power supply fit. I guess that's only two
with a couple of drill holes um
We can make this work.
Now here's something that I actually
sort of forgotten about.
Need to make sure that this baby
Is going to fit?
Which so far is looking like a bit of a no-go.
I've never trusted this kind of standoff so it's fine,
but I'm going to tape over them just in case I cannot afford to kill any more components at this stage in the game, so
Apparently overclocking my cPU but not applying voltage kind of worked
Overclocking my gPU and not applying voltage no
Not even like a little bit, barely got into that bench at all
So we're going to reset the graphics card overclock just run it at stock
Whatever, so there's nine minutes left. I'm just gonna set it to the last overclock that worked
Fine, it's tough I'm done
Okay, so windows is installing right now basically after this we need to install our benchmarks. We need to [in] the start. Hi. What's up?
Next time on scrapyard Wars Austin becomes a wizard linus doesn't have to cheat
but he does Luke's house burns to the ground and
That's all
Come see it
Next time on Scrapyard Wars. Yeah
