*When you're 9 minutes into a 22 minute video and Greg is reconnecting everything and getting ready to wrap up the video.*

Me: Oh

😂

You can hear the difference in excitement in Greg’s voice after finding out it was a mining rig when he got it to post. I agree that he should have disclosed that information. This guy clearly knew what he was doing, there’s a reason there wasn’t a CPU cooler in the rig and my guess is because he didn’t have an extra on hand. Not for that “I lost the screws” excuse.

My guess is the dude thought you wouldn't accept his submission if he told you he mines on it. Either that or he knew what happened and just wanted some free upgrades. If someone knows how to mine, there are high chances they already have multiple spare parts on hand and have already tested to know what's wrong. Just saying.

PS : HiveOS is not for the Average joe, so yeah, this might've been a case of someone taking Greg for granted. Sucks for the others who have legit submissions and are really in need.

The most genuine and honest form of diagnostic work being done. I love that you keep it raw and real. I do this for a living and I still really enjoy watching this series.

Greg - I have been working IT for 29 years and I enjoy these videos a lot. I enjoy the transparency as you struggle when troubleshooting issues. Nice work on the videos and thank you for not blowing smoke up everyones rear end.

Best series on YouTube and its not even close!! Thank you Greg for these vids!

[DextanPelit]

Got a feeling that in this case viewer just sent you some parts that was known to be broken and probably even gathered from different PCs 🤔

You know it’s a good friday when Greg uploads a Fix or Flop Video ! Keep up the fantastic work, I’ve learned alot from this series

[TheOtaxephon]

I love the straight-forward, logical approach you have to troubleshooting. Always fascinating to see you rule out certain issues and you're not afraid to admit when you're wrong. (Or in this case, that you were wrong about being wrong.) Keep up the hard work, you'll get that 1M plaque soon!

[gumo]

Who ever sent that in is jerk. On another note your child is amazing. He felt your energy and swooped in with the snacks to change daddy's mood. So adorable. Stay blessed.

I think the miners should pay to have their rigs fixed cause theirs are business machines. Gamers etc. first. That's just my take on it.

[leauviad]

So great to see a new video Greg, I love the fix or flop series. always stuff to learn!

I have owned a computer repair shop for 20 yrs. Customers omit important information that would help me fix the PC all the time.

Greg is such a good wholesome dude. I could tell he was visibly irritated by the viewer's failure to disclose vital information that would have definitely helped in Greg's troubleshooting process. Nobody likes having time wasted, that's one thing we can't get back. Regardless, let Greg's reaction and response to the situation be a lesson to all, he handled that with poise, and was able to try his best to potentially see things from the viewer's perspective, eliminating any kind of social bias. Highly intelligent, and huge heart. Heaven's gates wil be open to you, friend. I'd sure hope so. If Greg doesn't get in, none of us will lmao

[Nunman]

Of all the YouTube PC Tech channels here, this is definitely my favorite series to watch! I've built and diagnosed many PC's myself, but not to the extent that Greg does here. Good work my man! I hope you reach your milestone of viewers soon! If anybody deserves it, you do!

[TheAcogshot]

Man, you are nicer than me. As soon as I'd found out it was a mining rig, I'd have taken all the new parts out and reassembled it as before, replicated the issues he had, and returned it.

Literally the first thing you say on the intro: "another viewers broken GAMING PC". The guy doesn't need or deserve your help.

[danitheman]

This felt like a House episode. Greg trying to diagnose the patient's ailment but found out patient is hiding something which hinders the diagnosis 😅

[GaahlDukat]

"Dear Greg, I promise that I didn't run my pc to death for ( add x amount of excessive hours ) while i was away from it."

[dekumyheroacademia]

That dude knows what he was doing when he sent the rig. You pretty much nail it on the head. he didn't tell you that its mining rig simple for the reason he might not get a free upgrade.

[simposters]

W vid, I gotta say Fix or Flop is very entertaining and just fun to watch, keep it up Greg
