These Best Buy Pre-Builts Are Getting Out Of Hand... 

Hey Y’all, Just a reminder. Bots are bad, m’kay. I try delete them ASAP, but just be aware unless the comment is by this Dawid Does Tech Stuff account, it’s not me. Telegram Dawid is an imposter and a jerk.

Gamemax is obviously the best psu brand ever, they're so confident that their PSU's aren't fire hazards so they don't need to include a warranty

The "Overclocking Feature" was just a translation issue from Mandarin to English. This menu entry was supposed to be called "Disable POST and Boot". If you enable it, that's exactly what it does.

I'm not going to lie, the RGB across the PSU basement is both hideously designed and really cool.

That power supply is actually really good. I use them all the time when I need to start a campfire.

"I guess there's nothing as stylish as asphyxiation" Never change, Dawid

Can we all appreciate that Dawid managed to A) sneak in a little dig into the sponsor product placement ("yelling at mounting plate") and B) purposely mispronounce their product as the AK-47 (instead of AK-400). Love it!

Most of these AliExpress “X99” motherboards actually use salvaged server chipsets- specifically the Intel C612. This is why many features like overclocking and even sleep mode do not work properly when enabled.

Dawid-"I feel like the most disgruntled DHL agent couldn't damage this" DHL agent-"Challenge accepted"

Dawid generously keeping best buy CA’s prebuilt market alive 🙏

That CPU isn't "qualified" for Windows 11, even though I have it running on a i7-7700k.

I fucking LOVE your channel. You literally helped me find a hobby. Building a pc rn and I would have never done that if I didn’t find this channel.

I can see a mirror universe where Dawid sets up his own pre-built company just to right the wrongs inflicted on him by all these dodgy pre-builts

Had a gamermax psu set on fire avoid them like your life depends on it. My idiot friend thought it be good to use a cheap psu with expensive parts ( never do that ever, as I told him six times) it kept blue screening, so he brought it round for me to fix, I turned it on then heard pop and saw flames. He has fitted the cheap psu without telling me. Luckily it only took the psu and I was fortunate enough to be sat next to it..

I used to watch Dawid every week when he had like 20 thousand subs. Came back to watch some old videos for the first time in a while and despite now having well over half a million, it's good to see he's still kept his sense of humor and originality! Never change, dude.

"Which requires medium shouting to be attached." You are a genius with your scripts!

You've hit gold with the 5960. You need to put it on a better x99 board and try overclocking it then.

Back when Intel had no competition and charged $1000 for its best CPU. I don't miss those times lol.

"This is one of the worst buttons I've pushed in a long time" [Proceeds to continue pushing the terrible button]

I still have my 5960x overclocked to 4.6GHz I built Nov 2014 still running, it's still very fast with this overclock, 8 years is pretty amazing.

I have been making PSUs for 87 years now and can confirm that Gamemax is a very safe and reputable brand.

There’s a 900. Dollar prebuilt from dell on micro center that has dual channel ram. It has a 3060 and an i5 10400 I think. It’s the third option you see on microcenters gaming desktop page

2:33 least satisfying turtle death peal off ever 😂

I'm sure you can flash bios on this motherboard to spomething from a different chinese brand and it will support features like cpu oc and custom ram timings

I just handed down my 5960x, X99, quad channel 16 gigs of ram (4x4), and gtx980 to my niece. It was a beast that aged reasonably well. The heat that thing put off is insane when overclocked. While it did cost me my left arm new, its is still running like a champ. To be honest I sorta wish I just bought a 3080 for it instead of an entire new pc with 11900k. CPU wise there wasn't much of a jump going from 5960x to 11900k. But to be fair the 5960x cost 3x as much new. Edit: I just remembered my x99 had 8 ram slots with quad channel (i just never needed more than 16 gigs). 8 ram sticks is probably what Dawid's wet dreams are made of

oh, i’ve used one of those power supplies and they were really good the house fire was nice and warm, but the only downside is it lasted once

I have absolutely loved your Pre built series dude thanks for all the content!

"Installation requires Medium Shouting" is the best thing i've heard all year

Hey, I watched the 6950XT video and I had the same problem four years ago with a RX570. I solved it by disabling the high precision timer in the mainboard BIOS. Maybe it could work in your case.

Keep up the prebuilts i love the series

I love the honest sponsor spot at the beginning. Needing medium shouting to install really spoke to me, and I feel like I understand the product better now but am not turned off by it. Good job

Hey David! Please for intel CPUs with issues on the motherboard overclocking try XTU! I used to use it with my W3680 back when I had an x58 board that didn’t work with overclocking

Game Max paid me 120% of what it cost to buy their power supply in exchange for a five-star review. (That I quickly edited after receiving payment)

Thanks for video, looking forward to a hopeful follow-up using a replacement motherboard in the system to allow overclocking of the CPU, find your videos are both entertaining and informational thanks again for your style of your output!

That acrylic PSU shroud is like one of those wizards painted on the side of a van. So majestic.

6:25 cracked me up for a good 10 minutes 😂😂😂😂😂, especially the “you nooooooooooooooooooooob” part 😂😂😂😂

Dawid its good to see you getting some great sponsors on , it shows people are paying attention to your work Deepcool is a great brand and solid preformance , a great vidoe to keep it up man :)

This is peak gaming performance

Bro I love your videos and I’m glad you’ve been cranking more out recently. Keep up the great work. Never stop doing prebuilt videos. The world needs to be more aware of how mrsa ridden these machine can be

so glad for used PCs on craigslist. 900 bucks, delivered to my door, for a ryzen 3900x, 32gb ram, 2x 1tb nvme, Be Quiet case with lots of non-rgb fans, good 5700x gpu, upper mid-range x570 mobo. immaculate condition and a fresh install of microshaft windblows.

@Dawid I think I have the other 16GB ram stick in my rebuild I got. It's 16GB from a 32GB kit! I've had no luck finding a reasonable priced stick to match with it in UK.

Gamemax actually makes really good power supplies. They're hand assembled by Mensa children in China.

I am recently upgraded the ram in my own and my fathers pc . After one minor hearth attack with a black screen and learning about the systems but the overall experience is left me with a really good mood . Dawid you are a legend and keep up the good work without your videos i dont think i had the courage for opening up the pcs and changing the parts . Oh and your partner deserve all the positive feedback she is a treasure and beautiful lady . Thumbs up and i really enjoyed the video your jokes always made me laugh. Have a great day.

Watching this video in Brazil, it's easy to find people using a setup similar to that. GTX 1050/1650/1660 are GPUs really common here in Brazil and still being sold for a high price, but now the RTX 3060 are starting to be in a acceptable price (considering Nvidia only).

"I feel like even the most disgruntled DHL worker wouldn't be able to damage this PC in transit." Having recalled the state of some packages I've received from DHL, I wouldn't take that bet. In the words of Ian Malcolm, "Life, uh... finds a way."

I had the 5820k back in the day, x99 was a great platform if you went with the low end and just overclocked. It was actually my last enthusiest cpu since Intel finally started making more than 4 core CPUs after this generation.

Love your great entertaining videos Dawid but they aren’t long enough. Need more Dawid 👍

I managed to buy a big MSI GT73VR 7RF Titan Pro laptop with a GTX 1080 a year ago for only $621. I never felt so lucky because these builds are something else

Give Intel's XTU a try for overclocking the CPU. Not sure if it's comparable with the older I7 but it's worth a try.

I've always wondered what dawid does with with all the PCs he buys.

The power supply sticker looks so good through the acrylic basement window.

I'm glad that you have a bigger sponsor like deep cool, love your videos

Would love to see you messing around with older tech seeing how they stack up to today’s stuff, love the content btw Dawid 😁🤟

The case is a great alternative for a microwave. Edit: it's still better than my setup so I guess it's still a win for this PC.

Really want to see the part 2 for this

I love your content and especially your humor. One of the best channels ever ❤️

I'm interested to see what the easiest route is for OC'ing this rig. My first thought would be to see if there is a new/different BIOS that you could install on the MB that would let you make changes. Followed up by some better cooling and maybe a 3070....then you could get CP2077 on high settings maybe.

Just out of curiosity, did you try the overclocking feature with the new memory? Was that error code 19 memory related?

I never knew they had shrinkwrap for my luggage. This Tech channel has it all!

I love these super weird pre-builds!!

Honestly, with four DIMMs and at about half the price, this would be fine. It's just the pricetag for it that's awful.

what benchmark do you use dawid

Love the humor in your videos!

I still keep my old system, 5960x @4.2 ghz (air cooled, can get up to 4.5 with water cooling), 4x8 ddr3200, m.2 samsung ssd and a 3080 RTX and game on it. That 2014 cpu is still faster than some newer systems when overclocked.

"reminds me of a really exaggerated sound effect of someone punching custard" I lost it :D

So funny that you bring up the 2011 socket.... Literally just finished upgrading my 5820k x99 and 2080super rig last night. I loved that cpu. Was still running everything at max at 1440 for the most part. Now at 13900ks and 4090 TUF. Bit of a jump. But yeah I know they were a dead end but the 2011-3 series was a beast for running a couple servers and gaming off of that that rig.

Haven’t watched you in a while but desired to again and your videos are way better than I remember

I wish that you could upload everyday because your way of describing things makes my day a lot better. - love from Germany

You had me at "punching custard*. 🤣

You can sometimes overclock the block frequency on those china boards or force it to run at an all core turbo. I've also had luck raising ram speeds usually forcing a all core turbo is the best you can do on them

Great video! It is interesting that in the US, the same company is selling an i5-10400F/1650 machine for $1199 through Best Buy and New Egg.

Dawid. You could try over locking with throttlestop. I used the app to overclock a CPU in a PC that had a locked bios.

That music switch was amazing

i love the RGB ,its so pretty especially with that bottom GFX

Hah, this video looks like you had a hell of a lot of fun doing it; this is absolutely the sort of kit I love playing around with; everything works great; with just a few minor tweaks this could still be a very capable machine, even if not top tier anymore. Was recently using a 5930K, and with a cheap 240mm AIO that sits 24/7 at 4.2/4.3 GHz (I would absolutely feed the machine some higher quality memory if I had any lying around also, but alas 2400MHz, some 2993/3000/3200 with the better latency and quad channel would be a blast), so this CPU almost certainly has at least another 20-30% to give; hopefully eliminating the CPU bottleneck on the GPU (Haswell at 4GHz plus is still good if not top tier, until recently Intel didnt actually bump the IPC much, they just improved the efficiency so they could attach more cores, ramp clocks higher and higher, without it needing 500W to do it...!) which along with the RAM should turn out a very very capable RGB-puke machine; but the best sort of RGB puke; the ones that actually turn out to be capable and not just living by the RGB. An overclocked 5960X though is likely to kill that unsuspecting Gamemax PSU, the 5930K at 4.3 consumes something like 200-250W by itself :D

The music change was classically hilarious!

the motherboard code readout "19" is most likely a DIMM error. When enabling "overclocking" it's probably looking for a dual or quad channel memory configuration so it fails. Also the 5950x supports 2133MHz RAM maximum, so could be a problem there. You may need to enable overclocking AND configure the memory in the BIOs before rebooting. Finally, you should check out Miyconst for a BIOS version for that motherboard that actually fixes the Intel Turbo Boost.

In order to make overclocking work and turbo you'll need to flash the bios to a different one.

That music switch tho had me in stitches 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Well it seems like when you put in 4 sticks of ram the framerate didn't change much, but the frametime graph showed a considerable improvement

Those stock temps are pretty good, especially for a prebuilt. Hey, they beat alienware....pretty low bar, I know

9:00 I never found an overclocking "feature" on a motherboard useful at all. It either fails out right like that did.. or it sets an unstable OC that boots into windows fine, but run any software and BSODs up the wazoo. You should be able to tune your own overclock on it.

I did the same thing with the RAM as I wanted as I just don't like empty slots :')

'sticky ass turtle death' literally made me lol hahahahahaha

I love just how casually he hints at whether or not the sponsor either paid or help paid for whatever he's doing.

Hi David, Once again awesome video! Just a minor point of criticism: I don't like the way you present the difference in FPS by just text on screen. It's a lot of text, which makes me overwhelmed with no easy, "at a glance" way of seeing the differences. I know this might be personal preference, but if you read this, know that it's meant as honest feedback, rather than hate. Keep up the great work!

Finally we got the Saturday video hes been teasing!

I loved my i7-5960X before it exploded on me. I bought it "lightly used" on E-bay, and naturally it broke well after the dispute period. But until then it was a really solid platform!

Loved this one!

Thanks for this. Though even this equipment is out of my league, it was a fun journey.

6:29 pure gold 🪙

Now there are two of them!

Best Buy needs to sponsor Dawid!!!

dawid videos always make my day

my 2011 rig with a 4 core i7 from like 12 years ago is still running like a champ and has been past down to my 5 yr old, and at 73 bucks its tempting to pick up one of these processors lol

i want that tempered glass panel.. its dope

I love that you are still a smart ass (honest) even with sponsors.

NGL, I kinda like the unicorn vomit disco in there xD Especially the PSU shroud, that legitimately looks awesome :P

The power supply cover looks pretty cool

favorite meme/bit of all these series? dawid cant drive his cyberpunk toaster without taking out a few railings or pedestrians
