Trying to Game on an 8-year-old All-In-One PC... For some reason

**The Struggle is Real: A Review of the Little Eye GPU**

I'm not sure if "struggling" is a strong enough word to describe the performance issues with this little eye GPU. We're running into RAM limitations, and it's clear that we've only got access to six gigs of RAM. I think that's some of the worst GTA 5 performance I've ever seen in my life.

This experience is definitely on par with Cyberpunk on a PlayStation 4 level gaming experience - it's absolutely horrendous. So, we've dropped it down to 720p now and... well, it's still unplayable. We're still sitting at just under 20 frames per second average. I mean, that's almost double that.

We've dropped it to 800x600, and the full screen option is really confusing. It feels okay on Dota, but somehow it manages to run on the utmost garbage like it really is impressive how well Dota handles these horrendous PCs.

Look at that - there was actually a noticeable frame drop when we... oh look at that. Oh no, that really tells you a lot about this system that you're hitting in the 40s in Half-Life 2. We're sitting at less than 40 frames per second and there's not even much going on at the moment.

Yeah, it really is crazy how far these loser eye GPUs have come in not even that long a time. But with that, let's open up this bad boy and see what it looks like inside because this cooling solution is very impressive.

I come right next to it, and it's barely audible while gaming. I'm really want to see how they actually achieve that. I'm really excited to tear this open and have a look inside. I'm curious to see how they get it so quiet.

So now, I'm gonna use the trusty splooger... oh, the oof. I am definitely taking this thing's virginity. I can tell you that right now. I feel like I should be censoring what I'm doing here.

Hey, we got it open. Look at that - that's a really cool-looking uh cooling solution. That's a huge fin stack with a reasonable fan. It's not been cleaned out recently, but huge heat pipe running to that... looks really cool.

I'm curious to see if this is a socketed CPU or if it's like soldered onto the main board. It's normal SATA interconnect, so you should be able to fairly easily change that out for an SSD. But on that note, let's open up this and see what the CPU looks like underneath.

Oh wow, that popped off way more easily than I was expecting it to. That fin stack... I'm excited to clean it out. It is a socketed CPU. Um, so you could change that out. Thermal paste definitely needs to be reapplied, and I actually think that will help the thermals even more.

So, if you just put some fresh thermal paste on there... but that's cool. It's really easy to access all of this stuff. You just need a little bit of a splooger to get in there. And, there's definitely some virginity breaking action, but other than that, like it's not hard to get into.

You can see that there are also screws so you can easily remove the motherboard. This thing is perfectly serviceable, which is pretty cool.

After all of that, I cleaned out the heatsink, the fan re-pasted the CPU put it all back together and we got more than 10 degrees Celsius lower temperatures on the CPU while running Cinebench, which is pretty cool. Unfortunately, it didn't lead to any performance improvement, which is a bit of a shame.

But it shows that there's a headroom in that cooling solution, so let me know if you want me to do a follow-up video where I strap electrodes to its face... slowly increasing the voltage until it loses consciousness and by that, I mean just drop a high-end CPU in there with like an external GPU dock and try and get the most gaming performance possible out of it.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enfor today's video we're gonna have a look at an eight-year-old samsung all-in-one pc for some reason i'm not entirely sure why i bought it it was definitely one of those late night impulse ebay purchases but now that i have it i'm gonna try and play games on the poor little bastard and then to finalize my revenge on it i'm gonna rip it apart and have a look at its insides which are actually much more interesting than i was expecting it's like a laptop strapped to the back of a tv with a surprisingly big cooling solution attached to that uh yeah it was pretty cool but before that we have a sponsor for today's video today's video is sponsored by lenode which is an affordable powerful way to host linux based servers in the cloud if you want to host your own game servers the node is for you they support games like rust cs go and minecraft the java edition which we all know is clearly superior to the bedrock edition also if you need a vpn to surf the internet without prying eyes looking in lenode has you covered with easy one-click installs for personal vpns like wire guide and openvpn the best part about setting up your personal vpn server is that you can be sure that there isn't a middleman company looking to sell your data clenode has some of the best customer support in the business i mean just look at how seriously this dude takes his customers support regardless of your pay tier you'll get through to a person that will help you sort out your problem if this sounds good sign up using the link in my description for a 100 60 day credit thank you very much lenode for sponsoring this video now i actually have no idea why i bought this eight-year-old all-in-one pc but i've done a video on like an old imac so why not do what is basically the samsung equivalent of that so yeah let's get into the package uh this packaging does not inspire a huge amount of confidence look at that there's like super weak ass foam look at that they shipped it internationally in a box like that i mean look at the packaging in here there's a little bit of foam down there so that means it should be fine right this is the power brick in what looks like a used ziploc bag so that's why it smells so much like paint because it's just like spray-painted cardboard box on the inside uh and then we got some peripherals i think these are the stock samsung ones actually you can see that they were trying real hard to copy apple with this design uh but it's actually not too bad although it's pretty gross the mouse however is a grade e-waste peripheral it does look suspiciously just like a samsung tv but this is actually an all-in-one computer from not super long ago and it looks pretty good apparently this is a touch screen i'm assuming this is the 24 inch one because it's definitely not 27 inches it's way too small for that then down here it's got touch menu controls in the front bottom right oh it's really heavy looking at the back um there's not much going on here the rear i o is actually tucked underneath the bottom there which looks very neat but it may be a real pain in the butt to get to over here you've got a glory hole to get access to the memory and then this is like a little slot that you open up and then you get access to an sd card reader two usb 3 ports and two 3.5 millimeter audio jacks that's pretty cool that you can hide it under this little door and on this side it's got a dvd drive which dates it a little bit i'm guessing around early mesozoic period under here we've got io which is way too difficult to access but i mean it looks decent you've got what looks like a power connector here and then you've got ethernet you've got two hdmi and then three usb now as far as i know you can actually use this as an external display so this would be an hdmi in and an hdmi out which is pretty cool it was a way for samsung to guarantee that you can get more use out of this than just the lifecycle of the pc hardware inside it i think that's pretty cool and then finally we have a couple of speaker grills in the base oh this little bit of front fascia is coming off it is pretty dirty i'm definitely gonna have to give it a clean he says knowing that he never cleans any of this stuff okay now let's have a look if it works um i'm not entirely sure what the specs are of this thing so we're going on a bit of a journey of discovery together so let's see if it works ooh the samsung lights up and the button over there that screen is very dull the screen is extremely reflective so you're gonna have to look at my face for most of this i'm sorry i do apologize for that several eternities later and we finally booted into windows it is it is the first time though so that does make sense but let's have a closer look at what this system's packing cpu wise we've got an i5 3470t fun fact the t at the end of intel cpu names actually stands for trichomonasis i wouldn't i wouldn't google that one if i were you um but yeah basically i don't think the gaming performance is going to be very good but we'll we'll have a look at that soon and i think gpu wise we're using the igpu in this which is going to be an older intel igpu so that may be one of the big bottlenecks we have although we do have six gigs of ram which is which is not too bad like i wonder if it's a socketed cpu or if the cpu is soldered down i think we're we're gonna have to open it up and have a look a bit later in the video so apparently it's a touch screen hey look at that that is a pretty decent touchscreen actually uh let's actually look at what resolution they're we're working with here it looks like it's not a very high resolution display 1280x1024 no way that's definitely a limitation of no graphics card drivers installed yet let's okay there we go it is actually a 1080p display i was about to say there's no way it's a 1280x1020 display like that makes no sense that looks way better okay so with that let's let's try and play some games on this bad boy okay well straight in the menu we're stuck at 13 frames per second in cs go so that's always a really good start oh wow that's not that's not feeling good this is like gt 710 level gaming performance now we do have bots running which does negatively affect the uh actual gaming performance regardless of what liner says the display is beautiful input lag is not the worst considering the frame rate like a gt710 definitely has more input lag than this it's not great i mean i wouldn't call this playable one thing that i will say is that the system is whisper quiet like it's not making any noise we're sitting at about 63 64 degrees celsius on the package temperature of the cpu and it's so quiet it's really impressive oh when it comes to gta 5 at pretty much the lowest settings at 1080p it's not going well at all that little eye gpu is just i don't think struggling is a strong enough word here although we're also clearly running into ram limitations right because we've only got access to six gigs of ram and yeah i think oh that's some of the worst gta 5 performance i've ever seen in my life this is definitely cyberpunk on a playstation 4 level gaming experience like this is absolutely horrendous so we've dropped it down to 720p now and um it's still unplayable we're still sitting at like just under 20 frames per second average i mean that is almost double that ah okay so we've dropped it to 800 by 600 and it's really confused the full screen option it feels okay dota just somehow manages to run on the utmost garbage like it really it really is impressive how well dota handles these horrendous pcs oh okay there was actually a noticeable frame drop when we oh look at that oh no that that really tells you a lot about this system that you're hitting in the 40s in half-life 2. look at that it's just like we're sitting at less than 40 frames per second and there's not even much going on at the moment like yeah
