So the motherboard manual is terrible https://download.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe/mb/PROB660M-G_BDDR4100x150.pdf Red light means there's an issue with the CPU (Check its seated properly, no bent pins ect) Yellow Light is RAM related, or is just training it for the first time. Can you confirm what the Serial numbers are on the RAM Stick? Should look like this F4-3200C16Q-64GTZN Using this for everyone to see. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-B660M-G-DDR4/

What Motherboard is it? The light error codes will normally be in the Manual that's in the box or on the manufacturers website.

Honestly, couldn't care less. The only stake I have in LTT is from purchasing some of their Merchandise. LTT is a company, they sell products. Some of them are good and some bad, as a whole there is a seeming lack of self-awareness when it comes to how they communicate to the community. The failure to read the room on many different issues that have come up over the years. That being said, their Video content is entertainment. Sometimes it's interesting from a technical perspective, getting Jake or Emily involved in bodged enterprise setups is amusing, sometimes it's just daft like the mega fan cooling stuff they've done with the engineers team. It's like watching a TV show, you may like some of the actors or the story being told during the episode, if you don't, you can always turn it off. When Creator warehouse was first announced, I had hopes that they would reach out to other Youtubers and help them self-supply their merchandise (Similar to the JRE knife) but on a larger scale. This crossover with Noctua and their screwdriver, I find personally to be meh, the same with their Noctua Fan flairs they di a few years ago. The backpack warranty shenanigans were daft, there's no other way to say it. Labs was a bit of the same, during the announcement they touted it to be a way to provide accurate, community available data for various setups / configs, different product validations etc. So far all we've seen is more data on Charts in videos, the same thing that most media outlets call AMD or Intel out for, which is hiding their data in graphs, Labs are doing the same. Sure we see what Hardware they're using in most videos, but bios versions, software versions, configuration sets etc are missing and those are what really make a difference. People should be able to copy the Labs setup, like for like, and validate the results within margin of error. Currently you cannot do that. Linus, as he's said in various videos' now, is an actor. What we see is not what he's like in real life, that's fine, personally I would not want his personality involved in the community as a PR spokesman on behalf of the company. That is purely because he is emotional, and tries to do what he thinks is the right thing, but it usually ends up turning on him. You can see this in any of the direct community engagement pieces Linus has done, from the apology video, to the retirement planning and the written posts on the forums. As a standalone employee, who's views may not reflect the company .. yada yada.. it's fine. This is likely to start being the case moving forward from this latest issue.

NVLink is not SLI. They're used for different things. It's already been reviewed anyway

SLI is a redundant technology, no-one covers it's use anymore as game developers have stopped building for it. (As well as NVidia dropping it)

Surely standardising configuration settings, trumps data collection? Otherwise the data you collect is subject to run time errors. Setting a standard config, which is locked as read only, stops any data deviation?

They may already be, Unreal and Unity games can have a few of their common settings (Resolution, configs ect) set through the command line, or even switched to utilise alternate configs this way. Having those configs shared would be a really good thing, so externally people can download and run them to verify results. People like GN or other networks would also have a way of validating comparisons easily.

Wouldn't the engineering tools need to also be calibrated and tested frequently? The Aneco chamber, PSU Tester, Thermal chamber ect?

A publicly accessible database / website that displays the data you are generating. Showing Software Versions, Hwinfo and obviously scores from the games and tests.

Was it not said, back when Labs was announced, that the output from Labs, ie the data, was going to be thrown into a publicly accessible database / website. So viewers could look up test scores, benchmarks ect, all the comparisons that LTT were using?

I do, and the point stands. Why do you expect anything? Unless you're a FP sub as already mentioned, have purchased something from LTT or are in some kind of advertisement agreement with them, you have no stake in LTT. They do not owe you anything, notifications, letters, emails, videos, content, WAN Show.. So why be mad about that?

What do you honestly have to be mad about, unless you're a Floatplane subscriber, why is there an expectation that they deliver something?

People will be mad no matter what. If they say, we need another 4 days, then end up needing 5? It cuts both ways.

Suddenly? You do know what sparked off this controversy in the first place.. right?

To be fair, Yvonne literally said, "This next week". That can mean multiple things in English, IE the next following 7 days, this week and the following week or the next few days of this week.
