In my experience after replacing the prebuilt's preinstalled os past that any slowdown of the PC over time is down to user error. People installing all kinds of weird crud and expecting their PC to not suffer for it. The other day i saw a guy complaining his computer was slow while he was running a mining program on it in the background.

To be fair, the second comment could easily be user error. "My PC is slow now" is either aging hardware and newer software or just a user putting junk on it. I assume the PC came with a small SSD so it's probably full, can't cache anything etc.. Not to mention dust and all, that may increase temps and throttle the PC.

Generally theres a debug option in those bioses. If you hold shift and hit the f keys you may be able to get a hidden list of bios options. Some dell bioses had hidden overclocking features in those menus.

Reseller here --- I've gotten 2 of the older versions/variants second-hand for dirt cheap. Probably because it's pretty amazing how poorly they perform out of the box. Upgraded ram, storage, & cooling then resold. Not horrendous if picked up cheap and upgraded. But, you should open up that GPU and take a look at how poorly the internal cooling is done. HWmonitor will reveal the truth about temps on that gpu.

Every time I see people commenting, I also see you personally try and respond to all of them. You are awesome man. Your ability to teach us about our favorite hobby all while giving us a good laugh is a godsend. I look forward to seeing these videos. I even go back and re-watch them. Maybe one day we can game a little together. I would love to have a brief chat sometime. Thanks again. You are the best. And not Best Buy(s) best. But the threadripper of tech tips.

I actually expected it to be from a no name obscure PC builder lol

11:20 WTF IT'S $1200?! FOR JUST A GTX 1650! I BOUGHT ONE WITH A 1660 SUPER FOR $949!! (Apparently in Canadian dollars but still bad).

[MyThirdUserAccount]

I bought this rig from a 2nd hand shop a couple months ago for around $400+tax as my first Project Desktop. After a week of diagnostics, reinstalling windows twice, and upgrading from 8g single to 16g dual ram (along with some other various tweaks) - it's been running quite well. Not the most terrible gaming pc in the world... if you find it at a decent price, anyway!

Press "F" for Dawid for sacrificing himself to this PC

[gehenna_ca]

The intermittent stuttering was likely due to the known fTPM issue with Ryzen and Windows 10 and 11. It's enabled in the BIOS when you were scrolling through there. Disabling that feature should make the issue go away. AMD said it will take BIOS updates to resolve and those are expected from motherboard manufacturers in May 2022.

Love the before and after results with the ram configuration, after that outstanding Fortnite win!! Love the content dawid and I like how you actually read the comments.

[doryiii]

I have a feeling that RAM speed limit is due to the PC only recognizing JEDEC speeds and not XMP/DOCP, like you saw with laptop ram kits before.

[PaulLemars]

I think you need to invest in a second stick of 8GB green meenie ram that's exactly the same as the original and that should bring back that 3200 speed. Also if the system is slowing down progressively could this be indicative of an issue with the ultra budget NVME? I had a similar problem with an ADATASU635.

[crobbo]

I do actually still own and use the old Nitro 50 ( since its my only pc) and, its not that bad.

i7 8700
Gtx 1060 6gb
2tb
dual stick 8bg (16 in total, before had single 8 stick but i upgraded it)

even if it was a showroom model which was running for years and was therefore cheap and even if one of the ramslots broke, it works surprisingly good ( and it isnt possesed by anything which is a plus)

[gbedford]

I would have loved to see a quick compare of pulling the GTX and seeing how the 5600G fared with those two sticks of ram.

[JayBigDadyCy]

I cannot imagine how many times I'd accidentally turn that thing off with a power button that big.

[fattomandeibu]

It's creepily similar to the computer I built, but they're charging twice the price. I have a slightly better graphics card(1650 Super) and dual channel, but yeah. If you delete the bloat it's not that bad value considering current prices.

[ugzz]

Normally I'd say don't even bother pairing the 8GB it comes with, and just buy a faster kit of 16gb.. but in this case, just buying another 8gb of the same thing, if you can find it, would be fine.. That and reload windows and you have a decent system.. albeit overpriced for what it is..
