Wishing ya'll a very safe and Happy but spooky Halloween!

[SteelGrayRider]

For the new parts to keep this awesome series rolling.

[IndoCroatPerson]

I gotta say, you basically salvaged what would have been awful situation for this owner. You getting this rig running (although not perfectly) is a still a massive win.

[LonkiGames]

This series is one of the few things on YouTube I actually sit down to watch! Love fix or flop

[IamJay]

Man you've been buying hardware for your viewers on this series? And you're doing this for free? Greg you are so awesome man.








Guys I know it's a business for him but come on he doesn't have to fix strangers pcs and give them upgrades when he can. Yes he makes money on it but that doesn't matter. In my eyes he's doing a great thing for his community.

[DirkMensonides]

Both you and TronixFix are like therapy.

There's just something special about seeing good hardware get diagnosed and rescued, especially when it's for someone else. Great work.

Thanks Greg ! This video comes in the right time for me. I had an issue with my graphic card (Rx480). Temperatures going up to 95C with fans at 100%. Yesterday i re-pasted the gpu correctly and just ran the Furmark test for 20 minutes. Looks like i did a good job following your instructions. Now temperature goes to 74C Max with fans at 56%. Thanks again for all your good advices ! Don't forget to re-paste your GPU once in a while, it really helps !

If he feels he got ripped off he can call his bank and tell them to do a reverse on the payment, the seller might get ticked off and He could then come and fetch his garbage and learn a valuable lesson. There's a time limit on payments for shifty sellers and Ebay and most sites will back the buyer especially when a seller blocks them after registering a legit complaint. Great video!

[JacobBanman]

Greg, definitely do a Patreon; I would happily support that. People like yourself, Jay and Kyle gave me enough knowledge and confidence via Youtube videos to successfully build my own system for the first time about a year ago (and then one for my father-in-law) and your content still allows me to learn things I would never have thought of to troubleshoot PCs.

Keep it up!

This is hands down my favorite series over anything, ever. I’m talking I could spend hours watching all of these episodes except I have already binged all of them so I thank God he continues to come through for us! I got into PC gaming about 6 or so months ago. I got tired of limited FOV and performance and it took me a
while, but I saved up and built my own PC with comfortable knowledge on what I was getting for my value, future proofing, and really was not nervous to put it together at all. All my learning would have never been possible without your channel my friend! Thanks for helping me find a new passion!
I wish to do what you do in the future.. I just don’t know where I would start!
You’re awesome man. I fully appreciate what you do for the community

[beastrace]

great work fixing this for the guy Greg. really sucks he got scammed/blocked but its cool you can help him out!

[nelsonmediacreations]

No matter the outcome I always love watching the Fix or Flop series. Thanks Greg, keep it going!

[zakking]

Always love the videos, it was awesome to meet you. Its too bad it wasnt under better circumstances 😅 excited to see my pc on the fix or flop series here in the coming weeks.

[ThemightyFarmer]

Nice to see another rig saved, your fix or flop videos have actually saved my own pc this week when my motherboard simply stopped working. I tried everything I could but it would not power on, after a little research it seemed the motherboard in question ( gigabyte ab350m gaming) has a bricking issue. I knew it wasn't ram or CPU as fans didn't even spin and I was able to test PSU on a second system. After purchasing a new board my system is back up and running, all I did with the old mb when it was last used it shut it down via the menu and left for a few days. It's a shame I couldn't send you the board to do some digging but I'm based in UK, anyway looking forward to your next video 👍👍

when you love this playlist so much that you knew the issue with the 5900x before he put it in the machine. good times man

[kcsmiscvideos]

Hello! Long-time viewer and big fan of your channel, here. For AMD graphics drivers, there are two alternative ways to get GPU drivers and settings off of the PC:

- The "AMD Cleanup Utility" is the standalone version
- A built-in version of the Cleanup Utility runs if you start the GPU driver installation and select "Factory Reset" (and for good measure, also uncheck "Keep Settings").

DDU doesn't always stay up to date with driver changes, and it's been especially wonky with AMD drivers in recent years.

Keep on doing the good work! <3

Greg, always a joy to watch these type of vids- best content style of any!

[coreymcdonald]

If I had the extra funds, I would totally support a Patreon effort for this channel. This is one of the channels that helped me successfully rebuild my computer (an OEM machine) a few months back.

[xtremezone]

Congrats to the owner on you fixing that GPU. It's a pricey one to replace at the current moment. The memory issue is a bit of a bummer but can't have everything in life your way. I'm sure he'll eventually get it remedied anyway. Good job Greg as usual. :)

[fridaycaliforniaa]

I don't know why, but everytime I feel so satisfied and relaxed when watching your videos. Same as I feel when watching Cat and Andrew or Dawid Does Tech Stuff. Very nice to have those kind of channels on YT. Thx Greg for this ^^
