This here is a viewer's very very dirty gaming pc now admittedly at first glance you might be
thinking well greg this isn't as bad as some of the some of the builds that you've cleaned in
this season uh well let me go ahead and just show you a power supply dust filter um it's freaking
gross now the owner of the system eduardo told me that there are a few obvious concerns with this
build that should be addressed first off the m.2 drive is not being held down by anything
you couldn't find a screw i do have several on hand so we'll lock that down for him also
there are mismatched fans pretty much everywhere especially up front one of them died apparently
that he was using before so he threw in what he had remaining and it looks yeah a bit weird not
to worry though because we'll be upgrading this case outright with something much better from our
product sponsor in this video be quiet we'll be using their purebase 500dx which i'm sure you've
seen before in this playlist but it is a really great mid tower i'm a huge fan of that form factor
and the 500dx has great airflow properties it has integrated rgb and it comes with three 140ml
purewings two fans but more on that in a bit we gotta clean this system first and i imagine
it's going to take a while stay with me to get rid of that annoying activation watermark hop
on over to vip std key and purchase a windows 10 pro oem key for fractions of the price of retail
just use a secure payment method like paypal receive your key in seconds and activate your os
here bye bye watermark and be sure to use our new offer code skgs for a sweet discount now i want to
make it a habit from here on out in this playlist to mention important specifications up front prior
to cleaning many of you have been asking for these details in the comments so let's go ahead and give
them to you now in this case he's got a ryzen 5 1600 in here so just plain old zen right no zen
plus zen two or zen three just the og ryzen 5 1600 still a great cpu six cores 12 threads we also
have a gtx 1080 ti in here from zotac this is an extremely compact 1080 ti you can see though that
it's boasting two supplemental eight pins it's an indication that this card is not just a vanilla
gtx 1060 or gtx 1070. i'm i'm not sure if it's because of the dust that i dislodged bringing the
system in here or not just start coughing all of a sudden there is a lot of dust here i know maybe
from your vantage point doesn't seem as though there's a lot of dust in this build but especially
at the rear you can see how much of it is caked up these pcie slot covers not sure air can even
pass through these unhindered god knows what the power supply looks like or the graphics card for
that matter and these fans these fans are hideous now i will make it a point to clean the case even
though we won't be reusing it i still want to see that transformation and the s340 the ogs 340 here
is still i mean it's still a cool looking case you know it's a bit dated by this point in 2021
but i still want to deflate so see all of that in this video and uh yeah i guess we
should just get to it this is pcdc after all let's get to deep cleaning here we go
bye
oh
my
oh
so
oh
foreign
oh
foreign
time
foreign
oh
well here we are everything has been thoroughly cleaned with the exception again the power supply
and i've talked about why i don't deep clean those in previous episodes i made an exception
in episode four only because that power supply was oh that was really really bad and i wanted
to reuse it nonetheless we have the nzxt s340 here out on the table deconstructed thoroughly cleaned
we won't be reusing it though we'll be replacing it with a much better case in pretty much every
category that being the be quiet purebase 500dx which we'll introduce here in a second
so let's get this thing reassembled and then we'll reassemble the clean components into the new case
do now this here is the be quiet purebase 500dx and again if you've been watching this series for
quite a while you've probably seen this case pop up a few times at least i really like it is one of
my favorite mid towers and that's why i asked be quiet to be the product sponsor for this playlist
or for at least the remainder of this season this case is again it's just one of those that you
really can't go wrong with it doesn't cost a lot of money relatively speaking what you're getting
for around a hundred dollars or so is pretty insane you get a full on mesh front panel you get
140 millimeter pure wings two fans three of those to be exact and uh yeah you get a sleek looking
tower at that now another thing eduardo's old case didn't have was integrated rgb now i know that's a
bit polarizing in 2021 but it sells and it looks really good the way that be quiet implemented it
here just running down the center between both sides of this mesh front panel and you're gonna
have plenty of cable management space back here we're talking about an inch worth of space behind
the motherboard tray and that is plenty so with that let's get these components right on into here
um
foreign
hey
so
all right and now we are just checking for a post want to make sure that all of his drives
are connected now he does have like four drives in this system so make sure all those are detected
and the uh and the bios we'll get a post here hopefully
we'll be able to see those drives listed if not we'll hop into the bios and confirm that
everything looks to be running smoothly so far no clipping fans or anything
especially on the graphics card i want to make sure we don't have that issue
just waiting on a picture here
nice there we go that's what i like to see all right and it looks like it is trying to
boot yup into windows now so i did hop into the bios and confirm that the drives are detected
so we connected those properly via sata and i'm assuming that the m.2 drive is what houses his
operating system which we've put it into here so everything works that's really
great i might i don't know maybe play around with the rgb a bit i can kind of tweak that
in the purebase 500 dx here not sure what color scheme he'll be going for i might just leave it
on white for now and then he can tweak it from there so that's about it for this one folks um
yeah i'm i'm really pleased with how this turned out we were able to clean up his entire system
and especially seeing as though he has a gtx 1080 ti in here we want to take good care of it
in this market these cards are worth way more now than they pretty much ever have been and uh
so you want to practice good hygiene so to speak with your pc components especially those that are
so difficult to come by for a decent price he told me that he bought this right before everything
went crazy i think somebody sold it because they thought they were going to be able to buy ampy or
fairly easy um that didn't age well ultimately i hope you enjoyed watching this pc being deep
cleaned it is such a satisfying process to be the cleaner i did this all actually in
just over one day i actually um took everything apart the night prior to filming this scene here
and everything that you saw in the time lapse was done in one day usually takes me about
two or three days but i i just worked straight on through to get this one done today and i'm really
glad that uh that it looks the way that it does it it's rewarding it kind of pays for itself
just being able to see the before and after with that if you guys want to leave a comment i would
appreciate that in the comment section below i'll be looking for those especially earlier on
when the video is published if you have not subscribed yet i don't know what the
heck you're doing click that red subscribe button come on fellas and give this video
a like yeah if you thought it was cool that would be appreciated as well you can find all
my cleaning gear that i use in this video down in the video description along with some of my
troubleshooting gear that we use in the fix or flop playlist speaking of which next weekend a
fixer flop video is on deck that's all for this one my name is greg thanks for cleaning with me
