GamersNexus exposes EXPLODING Gigabyte PSUs and Gigabyte Manipulating the Truth | Tries to Disparage GamersNexus

[freeagent]

I didn't like Gigabyte very much to begin with. This doesn't help, well it does actually.. it helped me make up my mind to not buy anything made by Gigabyte.

Honestly I'm not surprised, Gigabyte is not a great manufacturer in general

That's fair. But also NZXT didn't try to discredit GN this hard. (afaik)

ye, they're like "buddies", some NZXT guys and GN…

 

Gigabyte is just scummy, and far away …

theres some conflicting info on these models, some believe its MEIC
the level of component swapping makes me think its not a old OEM

I bought a cheap arse HP for my sons school work,  naturally he fucked the screen in the first year. I managed to get a non gen screen of ebay and it fit fine.  Was one of those more obscure models too.

 

 

I couldn't with my brother's I needed the entire screen+bezel...and I could only get the screen off Ebay. I actually have it installed via blutack, however he ended up getting another laptop. HP wanted just over $432 for the screen vs the laptop's price of $480.

Pro tip. even for buying cheap laptops, only buy from business range. You lose the GAMER looks but gain none of the BS.

It was one of their quad core "pentium" (aka Atom dressed up), 4GB RAM models. I wasn't too shocked...but it is still complete bullshit. My brother's new laptop though is far superior on the parts side, as is my sister's current Ryzen 2 one - both are business grade laptops.

Who told you it was CWT? It's MEIC. Also, even if it were CWT, it doesn't mean it can't be shit. Every OEM has its terrible units.

Honestly, you can type "AnyBrandName catches fire" and some results will pop up for any and all companies. And if not catching fire, there will be some bad products among any companies lineup. Current or present.

 

As Steve mentions in the video "All companies makes bad products, making good products is hard, it's about how they respond to the bad products" (Might be a short version of the full sentence, but I think the message comes across )

 

I have reached out to ASUS support before, their Motherboard support is terrible, no help at all. But a few weeks ago, I got one of those annoying little black flies in my 27" TUF monitor (6 months old). And a quick few photos, a little note and a week of waiting, and I had a brand new display at my door, at no cost. Not even my local stores offered that level of service. And Proshop ind Denmark, have some of the best customer service you can get. And believe my, I have tested them many times over the past 15 years.

 

Besides the hate train against gigabyte at the moment, are their motherboards and GPU's really that bad?

I have both at the moment (brand new I might add), and they have been nothing but perfect so far.

I am at my second Gigabyte GPU btw. both flawless.

(when ram's price is too high)

factory: i'm on fireeeeeeeeee！

They do has some good stuff. Their X570 motherboards from 2018 seems to be well made. Good VRM, good feature and reasonable price. I'm using X570 Aorus Pro Wi-Fi and it's not bad for the price compare to Asus or MSI offerings at that time.

 

Their GPU however still not that great...

That sucks,  You don't want to see what this laptop looks like now after another 2 years of abuse, at least the cheap ebay screen still works.

Weirdly Gigabyte has the best mobo VRM delivery of anyone for the last few years.  The B team must be assigned to power supplies.

i mean generally, these companies dont make PSUs, they use OEMs… what companies like msi, gigabyte "manufacturer" are usually GPUs and mobos… the rest is more or less random OEMs (whatever is cheap basically) 

And no, thats not the whole picture, just the gist of it.
