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

**Let's Reset the CMOS**

Okay, so last time enabling overclocking feature broke it, so let's enable it again and see if we can get it to boot.

It is in fact not booting, so overclocking feature apparently is a no-go on this motherboard, which is a real shame. I was really hoping that I could do some overclocking on this motherboard anyway.

On that disappointing note, let's check out a more demanding game. At 1080p medium settings, we have a respectable Battlefield 5 gaming experience with a frame rate solidly above 60 frames per second, and the graphics card isn't having to loiter around waiting for the CPU.

Before we see what adding more RAM does, let's see how Cyberpunk runs. This is way better than I was expecting; I like it; it's very playable, and it looks pretty good as well. Good job, little 1650! This is really not that bad. No, it doesn't feel that great, but it is Cyberpunk, which handles like a drunk zoomer frame on the best of days.

Wait, what the hell? This is half of a 32-gig RAM kit! Now I'm going to replace that single stick that was abandoned by its partner for some reason... uh, with two 16-gig kits. So we're gonna have 32 gigs in total, with four sticks, and this RAM is RGB as opposed to the non-RGB gutter trash that's in here before.

Oh nice! That looks way more badass, so let's fire it up and see what that looks like. Yeah, that looks way better, and actually I just remembered I have a super RGB graphics card that we can throw in here as well, which we'll do after we do the performance tests for this RAM.

Wow, that made much less of a difference than I was expecting. My guess is that it's because of a combination of two things: maybe because of the low core frequency of the CPU; it's not running into memory bandwidth limitations yet while gaming. It really is a shame that I can't get the overclocking running on this motherboard, but I do want to do a follow-up video where I classy pimp up this system and I'll try and get another X99 motherboard for that that I can overclock with.

So subscribe to the channel if you don't want to miss that, and then I think the other thing is that the GTX 1650 is a bottleneck. Luckily, there's something we can do about that in this video, so let's drop a fancy graphics card in here.

This ASUS version of the GTX 1650 is actually been pretty good; the temperatures have been great, and it's been quite quiet. And you can see here that it's actually the beefier GDDR6 version of the card.

Whoa! This is definitely the wrong music for this PC. Maybe this is more appropriate... no way going from a GTX 1650 to an RTX 2070 Super made literally no difference to the performance, and I guess it's because we can't overclock that CPU so we're definitely gonna have to wait for a follow-up video to see what we can get out of that 5960x.

But in the meantime, let's see a more modern game. At least Cyberpunk benefits a lot from that RTX 2070 Super and so did Battlefield V, but that makes complete sense; the newer games are more able to use all those cores on the 5960x.

Which brings us to the end of another journey with an RGB Space Hippo prebuilt! If you enjoyed this video, consider watching another one – a suggestion will pop up in a second. And don't forget to subscribe to the channel on the way there and until the next video, thank you for watching!

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: ennow i have a look at a lot of best buy crap on this channel but best buy canada's  marketplace has some real gems on it and this is another one of those ridiculous cronenberg  gaming pcs that i could not buy but before we open up this just majestic tempered rgb  box it's time for a word from today's video sponsor that helped pay for this abomination  today's video is sponsored by deepcool and their new ak-400 cpu cooler which is the baby brother of  the awesome ak-620 the ak-400 is a great-looking cpu cooler that's relatively easy to mount aside  from that plate which requires medium shouting to get attached but other than that it's pretty  straightforward the ak-400 is quiet and has decent cooling performance for a budget cpu cooler so  if you're in the market to upgrade the terrible stock cooler in your system check out the deepcool  ak-47 linked in the description below thank you deepcool for sponsoring today's videonow you know that a gaming pc is not messing around when it's got an  rgb power supply cover oh i can't wait to see this stylish tempered glass panel  and apparently it's a high performance gaming pc which i feel like it kind  of goes without saying right it's covered in rgb and tempered glass  wow that is some nice turtle death in here and whoa there's actually a whole  set of peripherals with it including oh this is like my favorite headset everoh nice this is actually the second one of these headsets i've gotten with a gaming prebuilt and  i really like it because its bass reproduction reminds me of a really exaggerated sound effect  of someone punching custard we also got some wi-fi antenna the very important rgb remote and  then a gaming mouse that looks suspiciously like a kirkland brand razer death adder and a power cable  and then under there we have the keyboard and the gaming pc  and the keyboard is also some rgb hajjan actionwow that is a lot of soft foam i feel like even the most  disgruntled dhl worker wouldn't be able to damage this pc in transitdamn that is some sticky ass turtle death right thereholy crap what the hell is this it's like they shrink wrapped it using that machine at airports  that you like cover your luggage with now as you can see they've gone the age-old route of  choking out the front fans on a bit of glass and then pretending to have ventilation on the side  but i guess there's nothing quite as stylish as asphyxiation and then on the top we have the rich  front io which would have been pretty exciting 10 years ago around the back we've got a very usable  rear i o with a graphics card that has a dvi port on it which is always exciting and we've got some  wi-fi and then finally we have a power supply that has an eco button on it that's real mushy to press  that is one of the worst buttons i've pushed in a while and then on the side we've got a really  interesting tempered glass side panel mount we've got this fisher-priced little switch  here that opens it and then it's on a hinge can you lift it off yes nice now the inside is  where things get really r-rated the first thing you'll notice is the lack of ram on this side  but we'll discuss that later first i want to have a look at this just rgb power supply cover which  i don't think i've seen anything that'll get you laid faster than that like that is amazing  now moving up to the cpu cooler which actually looks pretty decent but i'm sure the main reason  it's in here is for this sexy acrylic rgb plate on it that fan is definitely also  rgb the only thing in here that doesn't have a ridiculous amount of rgb on it is the graphics  card and the motherboard now when it comes to the non-rgb specs of this system this is where things  get really weird because you can see on the motherboard here it says four channels of ddr4  and you can see that there's a little thingy there saying that this has an lga 2011 socket in it this  1200 ish dollar gaming pc apparently has an i7 5960x in it for some reason now the 5960x was a  thousand dollar cpu when it was launched back in 2014 and as far as i understand it was actually  intel's first eight core desktop cpu which is pretty cool and it supports quad channel memory  which has led to it having one of the best memory configurations i've ever seen in a gaming prebuilt  this best buy pc has a single stick of ram in a quad channel motherboard which considering  how rare quad channel platforms are that's not something i thought i'd ever see in the wild i  feel like there has to be a law against this kind of thing involving obscure corporal punishment  and in terms of the graphics card they ended up pairing this 80 year old god tier cpu with a gtx  1650 i think it will be really interesting to see how these two respond to each other in the  performance tests oh and the rams another thing without rgb on it but we'll we'll fix that later  in the video now in terms of the motherboard that's harboring this abomination it looks like  it's one of those x99 boards that you can quite easily buy off of aliexpress now aside from the  weird spec the pc was clearly put together by somebody that hasn't recently suffered a head  injury it's pretty nicely put together in here actually on that note let's check out the back  now around the back aside from the fact that the cellar is clearly a hajjan chill  uh the cable management is actually perfectly serviceable as you can see on that node i'm  actually curious what this eco power supply is in here so let's have a closer lookooh it's got a game max in it as far as i understand these are like a legitimate fire  hazard i'd say a general rule of thumb with power supplies is if you can't find warranty  information for it online run for your life but you know i i don't even know why i'm commenting  on it at this point invariably someone's gonna moan in the comment section about how  it's actually really good and it was handmade by lord gaben himself you knewso let's see what the comment section pros have to say but  at this point i can't wait anymore i have to see what this unicorn seizure  bait system looks like when it's fired up so let's let's go see what happensoh wait what's this oh silly me i keep leaving my high quality  thermos flask lying around with a very accurate descriptor of me on itdamn although i feel like it's not quite as rgb as it could be we're definitely gonna have to fix  that later in the video wow this is a surprisingly tetanus free windows 11 install all they did was  add some geforce experience well we actually got a 5960x which is pretty cool wait that's a  single 16 gig stick what the hell couldn't they at least have made a dual channel like come on  but on that note let's see how the system performs and then we'll fix  the ram configuration see what that does and add some more rgb and all that good stuff  okay so this is running a 1080p high settings and uh it's a very respectable result  you can see the the gpu utilization is not doing super well uh and interestingly the cpu  is actually only running at 3.3 gigahertz which i think the combination of that quite low  core clock and the just pretty ridiculous memory configuration in here is not going to lead to the  greatest gaming experience on this rainbow vomit system but at least the temperatures are really  good right that's that's that's always nice wait actually with these non-chemical furnace  temperatures let's see what kind of overclocking options we have with this aliexpress motherboard  oh interesting this motherboard has overclocking feature uh which we'll definitely play around  with a bit later uh considering that this is an x-variant cpu in here okay so a weird development  i enabled overclocking feature in the bios i didn't even change any settings i just enabled it  and now the system is refusing to boot so let's reset the cmos and see if that fixes ithey there we go okay so last time just enabling overclocking feature broke it so  let's enable it again and see if we can get it to bootit is in fact not booting so overclocking feature apparently is a no-go on this motherboard which is  a real shame i was really really hoping that i could do some overclocking feature on this  motherboard anyway on that disappointing note let's check out a more demanding gameat 1080p medium settings we have a respectable battlefield 5 gaming experience with a frame  rate solidly above 60 frames per second and the graphics cards not having to loiter

will work nicely  this asus version of the gtx 1650 is actually been pretty good the temperatures have been great and  it's been quite quiet and you can see here that it's actually the beefier gddr6
