if anyone is curious about the keycaps used by the staff in the opening at the video, @9 seconds: SA Noctua from drop. @11 seconds KAT Milkshake keycaps (could be PBT/Cherry milkshake, but probably KAT Milkshake) @12 seconds GMK Pharoah keycaps natalie's keycaps @ 10 seconds look like some amazon/aliexpress special

the only real takeaway from this video: don't buy trash from NZXT. everything else is preference or your specific use case

just an FYI, the VRMs of the asus 4090 strix and msi 4090 suprim are more than capable of handling 1000W to the core. the VRMs on these two cards are overbuilt to the point of absurdity. the two cards are almost identical, but the MSI is slightly crazier than the strix, with 26 phases going to the core compared to the strix's 24. if there is a limiting factor in feeding 1000W to the GPU, i assure you that it's not the VRM.

i got a computer in the office that i use exclusively for cloning M.2 drives. it's a ryzen 1700x system with some asus board, i don't recall the model. both m.2 slots on it had M.2 drives inserted into them at least 500 times over the years. still works fine.

Again. This was not aimed at you the average user with your budget GPU or potato APU. The Twitter post in the time stamp and my reply specifically spoke about influencers who have 4090s and 7900xtxs just sitting on Shelves. They all say support the little guy but then won’t actually buy or use amd GPUs. do people here not know how to read ?

the conversation was specifically about influencers who have access to high-end hardware. you switches from one potato to a different potato

at 17:22 that person was talking about GPUs, not CPUs, and they are absolutely correct. no one who actually has the option of using nvidia ever chooses to use an AMD GPU. at least i haven't seen it. every reviewer/influencer always makes a video where they put away their nvidia GPU and force themselves to use an AMD GPU for clicks then move back to nvidia almost immediately after i feel like you guys knew that but intentionally pretended like you didn't understand that post to not offend amd

anyone try to run this in a docker container? i do not want to keep my computer on 24/7. but i do have an unraid box.

hello, i was handed a gigajunk 3080ti vision to fix (identical to "gaming" and "eagle") and yes, it died while playing diablo. i tested the resistance for the inductors. pex and 12V lines are in the kΩ range. all 4 mem chokes are about 50Ω, vcore is 0.2-0.3Ω. 12V and 3.3V input lines ont he PCI-E slot look good too. but the 1.8V choke shows that it's an open line my understanding is that 1.8V rail is provided by the GPU itself from the 12V line. so if the 12V rail looks fine but 1.8V is not, this GPU is basically dead, right? i only repair stuff like this for fun. it's not my job. i have repaired a lot of GPUs over the years. this is the first time i ran into a problem like this. i'm hoping someone more skilled than I in GPU repairs can answer this or at least point me to where i can get an answer. thanks in advance! PS: before anyone asks, no it can't be RMAd. it was bought in a best buy/cyberpower prebuilt that only had a 1 year warranty

hello. i tuned into today's stream for the first time in a long time and saw that you guys were building a workstation with an asus Z690 proart and mentioned that you guys use these motherboards are your workstations. I'm assuming you use the onboard 10G NICs. are you guys having the 10G NIC randomly drop connections when moving lots of large files? they do not reconnect on their own. i had to wait a little while then disabe/re-enable the NIC in network settings to get it to work again. my unraid NAS uses an ancient intel X540-T2 NIC and has not sropped the connection in the 4 years that i had it. i've had a total 3 of these proart boards on 2 different workstations, and they all did this. the main reason i spent like $450+ on this board was the 10G NIC and TB ports, and it sucks that i can't use the main feature for which i bought this thing. there were much cheaper boards with thunderbolt. the drops got so persistent that i decided to invest in OM3 fiber runs and convert all my hardware to SFP+. NICs, switches, everything. the maximum transfer speed dropped from 1.1GB/s to about 850MB/s, but now there are no more drops. thanks

the problem with newegg is multi dimensional. i don't think newegg was doing this to scrape up a few extra dollars, i think the issue is training. their warehouse employees are idiots. people packing boxes are idiots. people sorting returns/rmas are idiots. etc. this is how i know they are idiots: some time ago I bought an asus GPU from them. for those who don't know, asus ships GPUs to retailers double boxed. first, there is colorful retail packaging with pictures like with everyone else, and that box is then put into a brown carboard box that also has the part number, serial number, etc. on it. newegg shipped the GPU to me in that asus packaging. not in a newegg shipping box. when the GPU got to me, it was partially wet and had a dented corner. i returned it without opening it. newegg charged me a 15% restocking fee because, get this, THE PACKAGING WAS DAMAGED! they were the ones who shipped it without a shipping box in the first place but somehow it was my fault? so either the idiot shipping the card didn't know what the policy on that packaging was or the idiot sorting the RMA didn't know the policy. or maybe there is no policy for this and everyone just does whatever. in any case, i got screwed out of a $240 restocking fee. i was not able to get it back. the people on the phone were not able to understand the situation.

it charges at 10W. i have a USB cable shows me the power output to the device it connects to. no messages, but i can't leave it plugged in for too long as it needs to be on the go.

yep. it communicates with the desktop software over USB.

the charger is indeed 65W. that's what the vendor sent with it. seems to support OTG. you can connect an external HDD to it. the device sees it but there is no practical use for that as of right now. there is literally zero documentation for this thing.

i'm at a point right now where i'm considering dumping my AMD based desktop for a intel desktop with 100W Thunderbolt ports. i feel like this is something that *should* exist but no one wants to make it.
