I think I'll give it a shot when the replacement comes in. Appreciate the info!

Oh yeah, I definitely think Asus is at fault here. They lost me as a customer, just pointing out I know better and normally I'm more on top of stuff like this. I just didn't research first, was lazy

I don't think there is any damage to the Asus board, because the CPU that died made the MSI board do the same exact thing. I also updated the bios using the ez flash button on the rear io. That completed as expected according to the manual. Not a guarantee but seems to be acting ok. I just haven't put a new CPU in the board to know for sure.

Hey everyone, couple months back I bought a ASUS TUF Gaming x670e wifi mobo and got a 7950x (not 3d) to go with it. Lasted 2-3 months until one morning it wouldn't come out of sleep, mobo was throwing a vga light. I learned Asus mobos were cooking am5 cpus, so replaced with a MSI x670e mobo and found out the Asus mobos killed my CPU. So, replaced the CPU as well. My question is, is mobo trash now or you think if it's fixed in a bios update I should trust it? I purchased a replacement CPU, but AMD just approved my warranty claim so a new 7950x is in the mail. I think the mobo still technically works, but tbh i just don't know if it's a fundamental problem with the mobo or it's just be being lazy not keeping the bios updated that killed my first CPU. I have friends that could use the free upgrade, but maybe it's not worth the risk and I should just resell the CPU? TLDR: Can BIOS update fix mobo that killed first CPU or just trash the mobo?

What is happening lmao What is this idea what GN owes any million dollar company a heads up before reporting anything?? What is this "I don't agree with how GN reported blah blah??" At what point did GN report something that was left up for conjecture?? He reported facts, immediately backed up with evidence... Like... Who cares if you disagree.. What does that even mean in this context?? Stop giving LMG special treatment here lol they will fix this or go irrelevant. It's like some people expected GN to just throw on screen text in comic sans saying "LTT did a boo boo." Lmao

?????? Yes.

There is no mistake to knowledge. Edit: Also, if you think there is, like I said you are coping. There is no discussion for "mistakes" when you define them as "you were mean." GN did nothing out of the ordinary for his line of work and he was as polite/respectful as can be expected. You are simply arguing nothing or the sake of being different to the public narrative. That's all I'm seeing. (You being anyone that takes an issue with GNs reporting, just fyi)

If you think GN did anything wrong, you either don't watch GN or are being a contrarian just to be one. GN pointed out facts in a professional manner, like he does. He responded to the terrible response Linus had in a civil manner. The million dollar company doesn't get a pass on mistakes because it's owner "tires." They made mistakes, they were pointed out and then the owner made a terrible response to them. How that falls back on the person just reporting serious errors is coping at it's finest. Keep watching and supporting LTT if you want. I honestly think doomers take this a bit far as well. Linus isn't stupid, LMG will most likely fix these issues, but the whole blame game is just stupid.

This thread is almost as good idea as making jokes in an apology video!

I have watched ltt for years, never crossed my mind there would be so many mistakes in an ltt review. I don't follow tech hardware like I used to but when I do need to know about some new hardware ltt was my go to. Very caught of guard by this whole situation. I don't know, I'm just throwing out my casual ltt enjoyer opinion but I really think if I come back to ltt's reviews is gonna hinge on ltt's reply. As it stands it seems I've probably been mislead/misinformed quite often.

I just noticed that square ILM and was trying to figure out what that was. Thanks a ton.

Hey everyone! A while back I got a hold of some cheap server hardware just to goof around with. I am currently trying to find some coolers that match up with the socket but after 3 attempts I can not figure out what cooler I am supposed to be looking for. The CPUs are Xeon e5 2640s. This :LINK: was what I was sure I was supposed to grab but its not even close to fitting the socket mounts. The motherboard I think is a Inventec B800GA1 (but i cant really find anything about it online that is usefull.) If anyone has any idea, please let me know.
