Idle temps around 44-50c with a H115i look a bit hot, and those load temps are significantly hotter than they should be.
I'd suggest re-applying thermal paste both under and on the IHS. Those temps are significantly higher than my (non-delidded) i7 8700K even when I'm pushing it to 5.1GHz, and may cause damage to your CPU if run that hot for too long.
@LinusTech You know what this whole situation reminds me of the spirit of? The events that lead to creation of the dick shaped logo of the PC building company 😄 Let me explain.
First- the response was way too fast. It's not thought through and it clearly was done in a rush. Regardless of what you think about what GN did here, the simple fact is that their video is factual, and you really should have gone: "We saw it, we want to take out time and figure out the details and our response, please give us a few days".
Second - you just committed a cardinal sin of "I have shit to do, I don't have time to deal with this". This is how your whole response and handling comes off here.
Three - the "dragon energy" - yup, that's the worst possible application of it here. This requires anything but that and frankly, as the owner who now has a CEO that runs day to day operations, you should have dropped all things but the most critical stuff and look into things as the owner properly and take your time to fix shit. I will be honest here - as a fellow, albeit far far smaller, but still a person who has been in business world for past decade and have had to manage a lot of people (most I had was an IT dept of 100+ people), I would be making some hard choices right about now. And not just fire someone (albeit that is subject to a review and if the fuckups are really piling up due to the specific person(s) - it might have to happen) - I would be pressing the big red "STOP FUCKING EVERYTHING" button and freeing up some people from projects to decrease the clearly unsustainable load that leads to way too many mistakes.
I think what is happening right now is that due to the size of the company, the people that get hired are just not able to keep up and you have to really account for that. LMG can't run at the pace and speed as it was when it was 5-10-20 people any more.
People also need to be given the KPI of "quality" as the primary goal and you seriously need to re-think the amount of time that's given to people to do their job.
Also - KPI's are not meant to be fulfilled 100%. IF you are hitting your KPI's to 100% completion - it's a bad KPI. In the software development world our KPIs are considered "done" if we hit 70% target, anything over it is a bonus and means everyone did an extraordinary job. It also should not be expected that next round of KPI's should be upped - you only up them IF the teams consistently outperform on a significant stretch of time (like a few months at least) to account for the fact that if you up them immediately, the result will be burnout and things will tank badly. My current feel is that the team is undersized or disorganised for the amount of work you want it to do and you are pushing them too hard. At it will make things only worse, do I really need to spell that out? I think I do, because for the past 2 years of watching every WAN show I get a distinct feeling that this is the mistake being made and there are literal company corpses by the hundreds that this mistake has killed in the software industry. The people resource management.
And in general all the errors GN pointed out I have noticed them all myself as they popped up and I will say this: The amount of corrections in the videos has got to a point where it started to really annoy me personally. I now have to second-guess everything LMG is posting with the reviews of anything.
Want to also know something? At this point when I hear "labs spent time with the product" automatically puts me into the "doubt everything" mode as in with the current track record your reviews where the hard numbers are present are not to be trusted. At all. As far as I'm concerned until this problem is solved, you should not even post any review videos - just do other content.
I love the jank, but lately, the jank has been too much. The home improvement videos as of late have been more like "channel superfun" and less "Linus Tech Tips" main channel and that is a really bad thing.
My 0.02$ rambling cents that nobody will read 😄 At least I got it off my chest.
If you feel angry or upset after watching the GN update, you need to look in the mirror and identify whether you are having an emotional response or a logical one.
It is a fact to say that Linus completely failed to respond to many of the core components of the original video.
Linus deflection of that reality by using emotional, ad hominem arguments is beneath him. It's not acceptable. cancel your floatplane, I already did.
The DT 770s would give better bass. The DT 990s would give a better soundstage. (Should be better for the music you listen to).
Just keep in mind with the DT 990s being open back, you're gonna let in more ambient sound and let out more of what you're listening to.
Also, if you're not satisfied with the stock earpads, I got the Brainwavz HM5 sheepskin leather pads and they're amazing. They take a little stretching and patience to get on, but they work great.
SSD or Solid State Drive is a storage device containing non-volatile flash memory, used in place of hard drive because of its much greater speed. Unlike a hard drive, a solid state drive doesnt have any moving parts. It has two main components - A flash controller and NAND flash memory chips.
More information on solid state drives can be had from here..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive
This guide differentiates SSDs in different tiers based on their DWPD, sustained writes, controllers and NAND types.

NOTE - MANY MANUFACTURERS ARE REPLACING THE KEY COMPONENTS OF SSDS (CONTROLLERS & NAND FLASH) WITH INFERIOR COMPONENTS WITHOUT INFORMING THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THIS LIST IS BASED ON THE COMPONENTS (CONTROLLERS & NAND FLASH) THAT THE SSD CAME WITH AT THE TIME OF LAUNCH.
A while ago Linus decided to reach a compromise with his audience, he'd still use the obnoxious thumbnails & titles because the current state of Youtube sadly favors that BUT he'd also include a - "what the video is actually about" identifier after the clickbait title so we can actually search for specific products/reviews/etc. While this solution isn't perfect, I was more than happy to have that compromise, and with Linus' promise I felt better about supporting the channel.
Commitment to that promise has been getting shakier over the past few months. Before it was just the odd 1 in 20 videos that didn't conform which is forgivable. But now, I fear that commitment is slipping even further:
Attached below is a simple screenshot of LTT's videos from today to about 3wk ago
Decided to use my amazing photoshop skills to make 3 symbols to show "title-promise" conformity.
Green check = perfectly serviceable, would be able to search & find with almost no hassle.
Orange dash = essentially clickbait purgatory. These aren't egregious offenses and with some annoyance & difficulty you could probably find a specific video if you were looking for it. Clearly room for improvement.
Red X = marking the spot for unambiguous clickbait. The titles serve no purpose other than to trick people into clicking by dangling a "ooOOOooo, what's in here I wonder?? HMMM?" thread hoping that random people will pounce at it.
I'm not including Linus' little Beat Saber because that's just a one-off fun video or the WAN shows because those encompass several topics and making a title that accurately portrays an hour worth of dynamic content isn't possible.
While I personally wish all this clickbait bs & obnoxious expression + overly saturated colors thumbnail trend would go away entirely, and I think its underhanded to exempt TechLinked from the whole "clickbait - actual title" paradigm. But I understand that doing this stuff helps LTT thrive in Youtube's little ecosystem. And I like Linus, been a fan since 2012, so I'm happy to see him succeed.
Whole point of this post is to just say "please keep your promise." When I only see 8 out of 19 titles in a 3wk span of videos that follow what Linus promised he'd do, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Feels like I've been lied to, and I have little interest in watching someone who makes me feel like that.
