Wish.com is a strange and confusing place to shop for PC parts - we tried once before and ended up with a dead PSU and fake GPU. Have they improved at all since then?

The power lead with a ground cable is a Japanese-style cable. Most outlets in Japan are ungrounded, but some will have a ground 'pole' sticking out to which you can connect the separate ground lead. This is required for outlets that e.g. AC units connect to. Why this PSU came with a Japanese-style power lead is... weird.
-
Redoing the most profitable video. Stonks
-
FYI fellow viewers: The ground pin on the PSU you saw was Japanese standard, and the box was also for Japanese market. I have seen Kuroutoshiku once on TechPowerUp GPU database, and it was a re-branded PowerColor Fighter (the lower-end MSRP-grade) RX 6700 XT.
-
The really really REALLY sad thing for me is: This PC has better specs than mine
-
Actually, Kuroutoshikou is a trusted and a well known brand in Japan for those who opt for budget pc builds. I never used their product though.
-
RE: 3:13 - My guess is that was a Gigabyte board that failed quality controls over the DVI port and possible other issues. Someone took the QC reject boards (basically stole them from the company) and sold them on Wish.
-
that cpu reminds me of the time when I bought an i7 2600k a few years back. Surprised to see it runs at 5GHz no problem. But when it arrived, it was wrapped in some thin styrofoam inside a small seethrough box and the package was labeled something like "plastic foam" value: 1usd.
-
11:17 Protip: Ground lead can be used on a two pin socket and attached under the screw that mounts the faceplate - In most cases that should make contact with the outlet housing/box which should be grounded (if the installer did that)
-
I'm pretty sure all the computer hardware purchased from Wish comes from all of the YouTubers making Wish computer builds 😂
-
I can confirm that random mini screwdrivers seem to come with random things on Wish for no reason. I bought a pair of shoes just for fun and it had one of those 🤣
-
11:46 How did they win an award in 2011 if its released in 2014
-
13:33 yep. Even though you’re a seasoned expert, it’s glad to see that the common trial of trying to screw something into the case, only to finish installing and then see that the panel was removable is a rite of passage for a new builder. And seeing Linus encounter it makes me chuckle
-
“You don’t need a screwdriver to install a cable!” He says after installing the totally standard ground connector for the psu with a screwdriver
-
Every day I become more convinced the company only exists so Linus can afford to drop stuff.
-
Those socket 939 heatsinks terrified me. I could never afford "the good stuff" and as you say "you gotta do what you gotta do" and I had to use the screwdriver technique every time. On a motherboard I could not really afford to replace.
-
11:20 that is a japanese grounding chord. Japan doesn’t have man three pronged outlets so they sometimes use that to offer a manual grounding
-
A thousand people have probably already mentioned this but that "ground pin" is the standard in Japan, where grounded wall sockets are so rare as to be nearly non-existent. Spent seven years there and most of my electronic power cables looked like that.
-
Those grounding wires are common in Japan. Also that switch has nothing to do whatsoever with PFC (power factor correction). That switch is simply so 1 type of unit can work at different volt levels. PFC is to correct for capacitive/inductive loads to reduce the reactive power, which is essentially wasted power on the grid.
-
Your vids are great ! Enjoying them all. Keep going!! Gtrz from the Netherlands :)
-
The worst thing is that this is literally a Dell Optiplex configuration. And an Optiplex can be found for like 80€. Add an SSD and a low profile GPU and you get more performance for less than half the price of this monstrosity 😬
