I have an AMD mystery box! - Gigabyte AM5 Mystery Box 

Its his boyfriend.

@@bartoszbartosz4075 hes yvonne's boyfriend

Infalinus

looks more like linus than his own kids, race mixing.

no Linus is the son ;D

got he gots fatter and fatter

It's in that case for a reason.

That was only one model line. As if Seasonic never put out shitty products. 😒

@@nevmiku Gigabyte PSUs are way more hit and miss Besides, it's a meme, let people have fun

@@nevmiku yeah, but they handled it *really* badly...

Notice how the talking point on the PSU was high quality Japanese caps. lol 🤣🤣

Why?

that's sort of how it sounded to me. kind of like how asus is now a separate entity to RoG. still owns em, but they dont have it in the name anymore

A pretty branding sells more poorly designed products! Yayyyyy

@@raj1n501 Exposed by another PC hardware channel, it was found that certain Gigabyte brand PSU's were faulty and could catch on fire. The company handled it poorly, downplaying the severity. This tarnished the company's reputation amongst PC enthusiasts. Given this, it was a bit sus that the Gigabyte name was not mentioned at all for most of this video despite most/all of the components coming from that company. A little stink of marketing/PR shenanigans at play in this sponsored piece, we smell through it though. 😊

@@oldyoldenough7327 I actually forgot it was gigabyte that made that psu. I also forgot aorus was a gigabyte brand. But I did realise it was hella sus that they didn't want the video to mention the company behind aorus and here we are.

Sorry to disappoint, their Aorus line are quite disappointing at exploding

@@AaronShenghao it's treason then

@@AaronShenghao Forgetting your roots😡 how could you gigabyte 🤬

That's just bad design at the time

Was thinking the same thing.

It is an cool improvement, yes, but how often does an average user REALLY need to install or remove a M.2 drive...

I was blown away by the power supply

@@Gemmmmmmmmmmmmmy I see what you did there lol

No one runs in his family.

@@binrat3020 why you gotta do him like that 💀

This is actually linus 2nd wife

That's the tech market for you, they'll just turn around and act like nothing happened. I think at this point Gigabyte has paradoxically distanced itself from... itself. What I mean is that Aorus, from my experience (got no clue if they suffer from the same PSU defects) has been a good brand for Mobos and especially GPUs (my first build has an Aorus elite 3060ti that runs like a dream) and it seems to be the more quality wing of gigabyte that they're pushing the envelope with. From most people I heard from, if they had a choice between a Gigabyte eagle and an Aorus GPU, they'd pick the latter. I'd still never buy a PSU from them, I'll stick with Corsair for that.

I paid $1800 AUD for my asus z690 extreme motherboard lol

@@SoVeXeN bro why Mobos aren't that important unless you're trying to be the next splave

that's more than unacceptable

I'm not saying that's not horrendously bad durability. But in practice, for 99.9% of consumers, will it ever be an actual issue? I can't speak for anyone else but for the last 4-5- systems I've built, I've removed the power connector from a graphics card a total of maybe two times.

​@@treborrrrr I've been through 3-4 GPUs on one system, 2 cases, 2 motherboards, and have replugged them numerous times for debugging/swapping or taking a photo for selling before putting it back in (all before finally upgrading my PSU). It won't affect the majority of consumers, and it won't immediately result in fire hazards, but come 4-5 years it may begin to affect a large section of the enthusiast community. This also can affect the used market if the gpu end of the connector can get damaged. My r9 fury is used, and still in a good enough condition to be sold again.

You know that most of these connectors are rated for similar connection cycles right? It isn't some kind of big new thing its been a thing for a while now the pins have never been sturdy and it is something that just needs to be replaced especially if you are someone who just upgrades part by part over a long cycle of time. For example sata cables are rated for 50 connection cycles(Esata for 5000) and problems due to disconnect and reconnect can and will happen after 10-20 times, this is something that has been around for a long time as these cables weren't designed to be unplugged often and more so designed that the average person might unplug them 4-5 times if even that before swapping to a different case or getting replacement cables or anything like that. In a bunch of older pcs(try thinking the big pata cables) you had cables that would stop working if you bend them to far on accident or disconnected them a few times all these cables are designed to be plugged in and left there and not be messed with more then a few times. Yes we need more durable cables but that will come at a cost of either complexity and cost or just cost itself and honestly how many times are you going to unplug and plug in your graphics card in a life time if you buy it and use it for a while?

I just tape the back plate in place, easy fix

It's why I still have my Cooler Master HAF XB case, the motherboard mounts horizontally so I don't have to use GPU support brackets and such. Even graphics cards with full metal backplates sag a little on vertical mounted boards, which isn't good long term.

At this point the GPU should be mounted vertically in the chassis, right besides the Mobo. Would make for a longer case, but thinner one. We could even go back to the old days when we used horizontal cases in our desks with the monitor above it.

@@andrewt9204 The same case I have and honestly its such a nice case to have I honestly wish that kinda design was more popular as it makes so much sense to have it all flat instead of dangling from the side especially with the weight of some of these cards now days.

@@edtp79 nope. that would have it looking like a PS5. on the other hand it ought to allow better cooling solutions.

most of them now have a little bit of double sided tape on the backplate as a minimum. it's pretty nice.

Yeah, I didn't even bother with a Master because the Elite was good enough

@@rustler08 I got mine on discount paired with a 5800x. It was kind of a no-brainer at the price I got it at, otherwise I totally would've gone with an Elite myself.

I mean my Aorus Elite 3060ti has really good thermal performance, doesn't even breach 65C on a fairly warm day under full load

Same. At least in terms of graphics cards. I still have a 1050 haha

na..Intel will be the same way it always has been..13 to 30 percent higher priced for the same performance within a 5 percent range difference.

💸

No you dont. You WANT one.

@@ineedpineapples I'm running a core I5-650, 4 gigs of ddr3, and a gtx 750 ti...

steve will test it..

hear that new ones are good, old ones- trash

AMD stated they would start at $125 ish

@@rogoth01themasterwizard11 which means anything decent will probably be 200-250 unfortunately. this gen for cpu/gpu/mobo is just ridiculously expensive. not a good time

@@justinjohnson476 Agreed. It also feels that these motherboards and they lack of budget oriented option... a smart Intel launch could flip the switch here, where AMD seems like they are overpriced & out of touch.

According to other reviews, still 95 degrees F... just lower performance with less effective cooling. They actually recommend a water cooler for the 79xx parts so you can hit the crazy clocks they peak at; 5.7 Ghz single core, 5.1 Ghz all-core.
