Only yelling I can think of more recently was directly at nzxt and gigabyte. Outside there was the exasperation in his follow up about correct aio radiator orientation.

Pretty hilarious/sad that card is in there when even the ryzen 4000 series apu chips would be an upgrade.

Meanwhile, another fire problem happened. Jayztwocents covered it yesterday and and then followed up on it today. But since he openly admits to just rehashing buildzoid, I'll just link buildzoid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VkO4wiEAY4 TLDR: Asus Maximum Z690 Hero motherboards are having a problem that can either be a straight up fire or just a failure to post with the code reading no memory. Buildzoid notes that in some that haven't exploded like jayz' board, there is a cap placed in a different orientation to the ones that exploded. As these things are polarity locked, it is a bad idea to have them installed in reverse which appears to be the case for those that failed. Fun stuff. Including the monitor, we have most of the bones for a true fire hazard pc for the year I think. Between the evga 3090s in new world, the nzxt riser cable, the smoking monitors that gn couldn't recreate, gigabyte's exploding power supplies, and now an asus motherboard. Just need some ram and nvme drive to finish out the year properly. Maybe even a cpu for comedy.

Combat Pretzel posted:It seems to be a zener diode used for voltage clamping. Of course the wrong way around, it doesn't really do that. Edit: Reread and noticed you said supplier. So woopsie on that part. Still interesting. You can also see a comment from eevblog on there as well pointing out that it can't be a revision changing their orientation because all the other components would be moved around as well. Pretty interesting seeing the several tech tube channels kind of getting together and answering it like this. In Jayz' video, he says that if you have one of the boards where it is reversed like that, just call in an rma now which is a good recommendation.

Theophany posted:idk if it got posted yet, but jay's ability to make incredibly poo poo takes is really impressive I had the impression he was just saying programmers shouldn't be just whole sale taking libraries and using them without understanding the scope of what they can do. And as such, limit the scope the library can do when used. Not just wholesale banning of these libraries.

I guess Newegg is going to be the latest of GN's wrath. https://twitter.com/GamersNexus/status/1478615747819712515 tldr: They bought a mobo off newegg, returned package via rma unopened (was still in the shipping box even). Newegg denies refund claiming thermal paste in the socket.

For me, this is one of those instances where a normal person claiming bad rma would just get a "well, most likely a garbage company, but maybe you did do it and just cover it up". However, in the case of GN, the view is highly skewed in GN's favor. More impressively is, if there is paste on the socket as they claim, that would be a manufacturing defect. But most likely, it wasn't. As said though, bad faith they keep the money while also not sending the product back.

There was a tweet reply in one of the previous gn tweets where someone said newegg actually switched them. Or maybe it was on reddit. Either way, person had taken a screenshot of the order right before paying that showed it was to be new. But arrived as open box and order review said the person ordered open box. I assumed some level salt, but perhaps steve contacted the person and got info. Or somone else with similar experience contacted steve.

I assume people are aware of the blow up happening on twitter currently. GN just stepped in and jayz had already put in his two cents earlier in the day. It is weird because there is also the cross over to me of not just these two people, but also josh strife hayes also pitching in. For those not aware, artesian pc is some small time start up custom pc company. They decided to do some giveaway live. The winner was some start up streamer. And instead of cheering about this, they just flat out went nope right on air because of the streamer's low viewer count. Which just obviously started a firestorm. So yeah, Jay plans to do a video putting together a pc for the streamer as compensation. GN is cheersquadding talking about how when steve was on his own, he had once been belittled by a now dead company for his lower sub count. And then Josh Strife Hayes has been happily throwing punches at them. https://twitter.com/GamersNexus/status/1498840640272191493 https://twitter.com/JoshStrifeHayes/status/1498825418761445378

Klyith posted:holy poo poo all of that sounds like my legal hot take was correct, they're gonna be crushed by the state of cali for this. their bank accounts are frozen goddamn. Like joker once said. "I may be crazy for taking on batman. But the irs? Noo thank you." Never get so public while bouncing state charges like a business license or taxes. They will hunt you down.

Canine Blues Arooo posted:He's not wrong though. HEDT's killer features in the past were core count, PCIe lanes, and sometimes memory capacity. For all basically anything that's not a hardcore production box, the only thing that you really can't get now out of a 5950x et al are the crazy PCIe lane count. There is also usually a ton of L2/L3 on HEDT chips, but Ryzen 3 isn't that far behind the TRX4 chips that exist today. How much closer will the cache difference be when amd launches the ryzen chips with that 3d cache thing. I've been kind of on the sideline about getting one when it releases as it seemed like it provides a decent uplift on the existing 5000 chips.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:It's quite depressing to look at PCPartPicker in america a lot of the time. We have Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy, and B&H Photo as our most viable options, with smaller stores like MemoryC and Adorama sometimes showing up but never as the cheapest option. And each of our four viable options suck rear end in their own ways. For most of the items catalogued there, we get only two or three choices, with Newegg usually being the cheapest, or sometimes Amazon. Odd that Microcenter doesn't show up.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNfsG-Ai2PA So in this case, I understand why they stuck to just air cool testing. And generally speaking, the better a case is at air cooling, the more efficient it'll be at watercooling anyway. Hell, my o11 mini is running as an air cooled setup while I finish getting the last parts to convert to a water cooled system. Edit: I don't know what I was on while writing this, but I'll blame only being awake for an hour or so. Name a case where a specific aio/cpu/mobo combination had a different temperature difference between them. You won't. As Steve said, watercooling is kind of brute forcing a fix. No matter how bad the airflow is over the cpu and/or gpu, a water cooling system will just move that heat to an area that does have airflow. In such a case, it doesn't matter how little airflow happens in the case around the cpu or gpu because the water cooling solution picks up the slack. In such a setup, no matter what case you use, you'll still have the same result. JuffoWup fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Apr 21, 2022 |

Mr.Radar posted:It's actually because Germany and some other European countries mandated light-colored equipment in offices, and economies of scale kicked in and made it the only color you could get: Even still, not all beige was the same. I remember beige cd-rom or 5.25" drives being off color to the beige of the case. When you could find them. Generally were white or black even though there really wasn't a matching case for it in most people's homes.

njsykora posted:No-one clicks on positive video titles though. Look at a positive review video and a negative one, the negative one will always have more views. For reviews sure. What is the positive video going to cover? Nothing more than the talking points the marketing dept was already talking about. But look up a negative one and find out what other pitfalls you didn't think about or were unaware of come to light. That is the sad truth of it. Marketing of these companies are already covering the positives. Instead, you look for the "and what is the catch to this amazing thing".
