Question about Elric

[PCBudgetSolutions]

Elric the guy from Tech of Tomorrow and works for Newegg ya that guy.  He's a very good personality but sometimes I wonder because he often VERY wrong about stuff and I often see people point it out.  But then I see his video seen here: 

 and soo many things wrong here.  He says how the FX-4350 and 6350 are replacing the 4300 and 6300 when they are not replacing it, just another tier.  In that APU he built, top fans are turned the wrong way intake instead of exhaust, he uses DDR3 1333MHz on an APU setup and claims it can run games @ 1080p with high settings.  I just feel he's sometimes uninformed or forced to say the wrong things.  Just like he said the Titan Super PC is named after the GTX titan...

I'm not really sure but I have seen those fans before and the temps are ok so I don't really know what to say

The Titan supercomputer is named after nvidias GPU, but yeah i don't like what Elic has to say. But why hate? you don't have to watch...

[PCBudgetSolutions]

Good personality I just sometimes cringed at some of the stuff he says.

[XiaoPigs]

He's a nice guy :) Don't really watch him now a days though. I find other Tech channels more interesting then him.

Agreed.

Technically speaking, the 4350 and 6350 are replacing the older ones. The same way the 3570K replaced the 2500K. They aren't discontinuing the other line, but they have now been rendered last gen, and have been replaced by the current gen.

well not really, they're just a reiteration of the 4300 and 6300 CPUS, they don't have a new or improved architecture, they just have higher clock speeds, so really they aren't replacing the 4300 and 6300.  Steamroller will replace them.

I guess. But in the whole evolution of the product line, the 4300 and 6300 have been replaced by a newer version. Or I guess you could consider it a revision... I guess it depends on your point of view.

[MegaDave91]

Not a fan of Elric at all.

[Art Vandelay]

I recall him recommending some terrible Thermaltake power supplies that Johnnyguru destroyed in a review. Honestly, I find him kind of annoying, but he's like Logan or the Tek; I wouldn't really listen to them for their knowledge of actual hardware, I listen to them because they are interesting, regardless of their occasional mistakes.

I thought they were the new improved architecture, didn't they used to be Bulldozer and the new ones Piledriver?

[Puppet]

No they are the same architecture, just raised the clocks a little on them, bulldozer was *1** series.

 

I have noticed Elric making the odd mistake on his recent videos, forget what they were but it was just in the wording. His humor is sometimes questionable too :lol: but in general I think he is a good guy, I haven't watched too much of his stuff recently but he used to put out pretty thorough benchmarks.

 

Also worth mentioning that he has been in the business for a very long time, motherboards.org was registered in 97 and he was involved with the industry long before that, he knows what he is talking about, that deserves a little respect. :)

No it's not. How could that computer be made if the GTX Titan wasn't even on the surface in October? Your own evidence proved you wrong. And the OP isn't hating on him, he's just asking questions because Elric does get a lot of stuff wrong.

He was right, the Titan super computer is made of GK110 GPU's, hard to say which is named after which but Nvidia have been using the Titan or Titanium branding for a while now.

 

That's what the Ti stands for on some of their cards

Ti always stood for Titanium, not Titan, and the card was named after the supercomputer, not the other way around :)

Where's the proof? If you guys are going to try to prove me wrong, at least READ your own evidence. The supercomputer Titan has K20X GPUs, the same as the Titan. Which is why NVIDIA named the GK110 "Titan".

 

The "Ti" naming doesn't have to do with any of this.

[Puppet]

I did mention Titanium, just meant that Titanium is a derivative of Titan and the branding has been around longer than the supercomputer or their flagship gaming card. I think, like the OP quoted, I probably worded it slightly wrong. Apologies :)

See that's the thing, he doesn't seem to know what he's talking about. Very often he's just reading out specs that he has no idea about and makes lots of mistakes with...everything, and gets angry if you correct him, not long ago I commented on one of his videos where he was incorrect saying that 500MB/s reads of some SSD is nowhere near the max for SATA3 or even SATA2, I told him that he is incorrect since SATA is rated in Gigabits and not Gigabytes with his response being, "get off my channel you fool". 

It is often very obvious that he has no idea what he's talking about, and he recommends a lot of products that are very poor. 

[Puppet]

Cool I'm not doubting anyone I was just giving my opinion from my POV, like I said I haven't really been watching his videos recently.

 

Your experience sounds pretty bad though, that was a pretty bad mistake that he made, very misleading and if he said that to you then maybe I should reconsider my opinion about him. Maybe he's going senile in old age :lol:

Oh yea. But he's gotten a lot better.

 

He used to cuss and be extremely disrespectful to his audience. Not to mention some of his idiot fanbase would thumb him up and support him no matter what he said. It was really sad.

 

But as I said, he's gotten a lot better.

I believe it's the other way round... Criticism is not necessarily hate, not in the way he did it...

[bartekxx12]

Well either way I haven't been watching many of his videos recently either, his knowledge and attitude aside, the more I learned the less interesting his videos become, also not a fan of him stopping for 10 seconds after every word (slightly exaggerating :P ).

[PCBudgetSolutions]

Don't get me wrong, Elric appears to be a great guy and fun to listen to.  But at times it's a turn off when I see stuff that he posts.  Linus sometimes will market things and try to focus on the good even when he's stated some issues with certain products in the past, but Linus dances very well around this at times and it's clear that is how he gets paid by marketing things.  I just think Elric either is uninformed it attempts to oversell some of the things he talks about where Linus dances very well.

[PCBudgetSolutions]

Look at this PC:

Or the one at NCIX:

Compare it to the one he's giving away in the video I posted.
