Why didn’t u do a video about honey browser extension?
Lol cheatengine is 100% a bad thing its a hex editor for editing code in the game to allow for example increased amounts in resources , infinite health , etc. It allows you to change the current code of set hp to whatever the editor changes it to , it doesnt work with internet games as they usually block Cheatengine with anti cheat software.
why didn't you re heat the soldering using a heat air gun to re-ball all the solder after straightening it? most of the time, the solder just crack off due to the bending and can be re solder by heating it up. I'm talking about the GPU by the way
3:14 From this alone I can tell this PC fell from at least the second floor. I have done a few "things" in my earlier youth and I can verify that this PC got thrown out of a window or from a balcony. We did this with some older PCs too because it was fun (there was nothing good inside). Also with other random junk or broken electronics.
Thats not right who she think she is
What the actual f*ck? Linus actually googling wtf is Cheat Engine? Oo It's more amazing than the fact that mobo is till working.
Hey Linus can you PLEASE make a video about the scam HONEY is doing? It is literally stealing EVERYONE'S money off youtube… Thanks 🙂
Send the gpu to Northwestrepair. Although I think this is beyond repair.
Asta is a woman's name though…..
I love these series!! Do more please
12:18 complete marketing WHAT Linus? 😂
Lithuania mentioned 🇱🇹🇱🇹
5:21 I tried taking a shot at calculating the amount of geforces the PC might have experienced myself.
Assuming the scenario was a perfect free fall from 12 meters with no horizontal velocity, taking the stopping distance of the PC hitting what seems like mud (0.2 m) into account, it might have experienced somewhere in the neighbourhood of ~57 G. Keep in mind this is during a perfect free fall starting from rest, with no horizontal or rotational velocity, and the stopping distance of the mud was a wild guess.
I am a newbie with this kind of stuff though so take all of this with a hill of salt. Just thought it was interesting to try to figure it out myself.
This video along with the Ebay motherboard rapair one have been my top 2 for this year.
Very exciting doing damage assesment and waiting for the components to post.
Hey, honestly feel like the video didnt finish, i though you where gonna try a hail marry and put the card in a oven for a bit
A shame that you guys kept quiet about scammy paypal and the outright fraud they've been using channels like you to commit with the Honey browser extension. It's just been exposed, and I hope paypal faces a massive lawsuit over it.
2:40 lithuania????
Watching these guys repair stuff is like watching car salesmen trying to upsell a broken car
"Hmmm these traces just handle the air con, so they can just use a fan"
Nice Video, Thank You!
How does linus not know about cheat engine?
That ending was abrupt Was it planned that way?
Putting that graphics card in the oven after straightening it might be worth a try, that might just fix the broken solder joints on the chips.
I'm more surprised Linus had never heard of Cheat Engine, that was the big tool back in his day
can i have a 5000$ extreme tech upgrade
HILARIOUS, I LOVE this video so much of this machine survived talk about LUCK
im shock linus didnt know cheat engine.
Love to watch videos like this
I'm genuinly shocked you didn't know what cheat engine was, its basically just a memory editor, but still, its a very old well known tool.
That was such a bad ending for a video
Throughout the video neither of you showed any believable excitement as more and more parts were working. You should have done a cost estimate for what the build would sell for + the cost of a 2nd hand replacement GPU. You could have taken the time to try to refurbish the tower to see if you could make that work as well. And at the very end, whenever you build a pc like this, you should do an online raffle or something to give a fan a chance to have a gaming pc. I personally know several dozen PC enthusiasts who simply cannot afford to own a PC. A rig like that may seem like a little thing to a lot of people but to some of my friends would be a life changing event.

If he just updated the bios
linus doesnt know abt cheat engine… wtf man
how do you not know what cheat engine is? i even used it at work once because a program was being a butt. you should do a deep dive video its ability to access privileged memory locations and the lengths game developers go through to try to cheat engine proof their games is fascinating
Send the GPU to NORTHWESTREPAIR, he'll fix it, lol.
That GPU needs a reflow and would 200% work!
