I did. Makes things a bit better although I don't feel there is a sincere acceptance of what went wrong. But I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt. However, that bit about wanting back a sample that was sent to keep sounds like a shot at billet labs? Or am I completely loony for seeing so?

I was forty minutes into the WAN show and there is nothing. Absolutely nothing. I've looked up to this guy so much over the years and I've been left so disappointed. What I wanted was a this-is-how-we're-going-to-move-forward explanation to the community. Something that we could refer back to if/when we screw up. Instead we got whatever this is. This is narcissism. I'm out.

How LTT has been faring and the approach (I thought) they had about making fun content they want to watch (as said many times on the WAN Show) is what finally inspired me to get into the creator space at 37. I'd been noticing shoddy video work and editing recently, but didn't give it too much thought. The response that Linus had esp about how they went out and treated Billet Labs broke my heart. I used to look up so much to this guy. I felt punched in the face over the last few days about how Linus treated us (the audience) - his responses to GN felt like he didn't care about the audience at all. Tangent: GN and Steve did what any journalist should do; and I don't think it was easy for Steve either. Kudos to him.

Tried with the GPU removed with thr current 750W PSU and a 650W PSU I had sitting around (both Corsair). Still the same. Have a sinking feeling it's the CPU cos I managed to flash the BIOS

Both temps and fan noise. I live in Sri Lanka where the ambient in 29°C, so my room turns into an oven when I'm using the GPU.

My computer just refused to post at one point. I've been using it for around six months now (GPU much older - maybe a month after launch). Not OCed. GPU slightly undervolted to keep noise in check. Noctua NH-L9i 17XX cooler. The board has four diagnostic LEDs. When I hit the power button (one exception I'll list later) the CPU LED turns for, then the RAM LED turns, then the GPU LED turns red, and then the CPU LED turns on immediately as the RAM led switches off and almost immediately does a fade-out kind of switching off (like how a filament bulb will switch off). The exception is if I remove the EPS cable, in which case the CPU LED stays on. Things I've done so far: 1) Clear CMOS, checked cables, connections, reseated RAM. 2) All parts in place switch on - CPU fan powers up. GPU light powers up, no signals, and then switches off after LED sequence. 3) No GPU switch on - CPU fan powers up, VGA signal, switches off after LED sequence. 4) Flashed BIOS to F6, F11, and F20 versions through Q BIOS Plus with no CPU/RAM in place (renaming the file to gigabyte.bin) and did above steps after flash completion and CPU/RAM installation, same result. 5) Flashed BIOS to F6, F11, and F20 versions through Q BIOS Plus with no RAM just CPU in place (renaming the file to gigabyte.bin) and did above steps after flash completion and CPU/RAM installation, same result. 6) Flashed BIOS to F6, F11, and F20 versions through Q BIOS Plus with CPU/RAM in place (renaming the file to gigabyte.bin) and did above steps after flash completion and CPU/RAM installation, same result. The exception is when I try boot with EPS cable removed. Then the CPU light just stays on. What irks me is how the CPU LED trails off instead of switching off. I'm planning on taking the system to check with a different CPU on next working day, but wondering if anyone knows what the issue could be. I've embedded video of 'full system' switch on LED behaviour. My specs - A 12700K on a Gigabyte Aero G DDR4 running 2x 3600MHz TeamGroup 32GB sticks, and a Gigabyte Vision 3080 (10GB, no LHR), and a Sabrent 2TB PCIE Gen 4 SSD.

So, I'm planning on putting a new build together, and this is what I've come up with. It'll be a dual-purpose computer, which will be used for both working and a lot of gaming. Asus Sabertooth Z77 Intel Core i7 3770K 3.5Ghz (3rd Generation) Asus Geforce GTX 680 2GB DDR5 DirectCUII TOP (To be SLI-ed with the same during Phase II of the build) Memory Corsair 16 GB (2x8GB) Vengeance 1600Mhz DDR3 Kit (To be doubled during Phase II) Corsair Force GS 240GB SATA 6Gbps SSD (RAID 1 during Phase II of the build) Toshiba 3TB 7200RPM (RAID 1 during Phase II of the build) Asus Blu-ray Writer Cooler Master HAF XB Power Corsair AX1200 Corsair H100i Liquid Cooler I need help in a few things. a) Am I over budgeting for power? b) Anything that I should add or remove? Thanks, and this is my first time posting here! Huge fan of Linus :D
