I have to stop using my EVGA 4090... 

Oh yeah you truly know that!!!

The greatest technician that ever lived out in the wild😂

Pff that's a light dusting compared the gooch "The greatest technician that's ever lived" dives into. Wouldn't even have to steal my moms toothbrush for that piddly job, I'd let him borrow it.

@SalemTechsperts He even took your mother’s toothbrush.

Jay you should go to your mothers bathroom to check if her toothbrush is still there.. 😂👌

He probably missed it

Had the same thought lol

Haha me too!

fuck being productive (the misprinted version)

I saw that immediately and love it! I too have to give myself little hidden reminders inn various places that difficult to avoid, wallpaper, screensavers, fridge, post-it in the car, on my PS5 controllers, in my lab space. My brain will jump through hoops finding anything it can to distract rather than stay on-task and get the important things done.

Yes. I only bought EVGA. It was always the best looking (in my opinion)

@@CurieBohr EVGA always went for a more elegant yet badass look that looks to curvature over linear geometry when designing there housing for video cards. EVGA FTW!!!

Too bad man, I loved all my EVGA cards, too. They are slowly dissolving the entire company tho.

EVGA was my go to card from the beginning. I wish they would have stayed in the video card business.

They rarely made the BEST cards. They usually made the bare minimum like Zotac, sometimes even for their FTW3 series. Their customer service though was 2nd to none and this is why I bought them. Usually and lately, ASUS made the best cards, incl the TUF

So do you😂

Maybe in a year or so. Vince is just getting started with them.

Pogchamp!

Yah his gamers nexus video

If you listened to what he said in steves video he said a good possibility he didnt say that he has signed with anyone as of yet

​@@davidsmyth3818 read between the avoiding breaking NDA lines.

If he signs and the cards don't come out as KingPNY. I'll fricking mald.

PNY will become the top brand soon.

Yep, I have dust filters in my PC case and my radiator, after just one year, was all grey. It's not as much as other people's PCs have collected but it massively affects the temperatures for sure. I wish they had shown how Jay blew compressed air on the heatsink, and how much dust came out of there.

"So disgusting" -Looks at my fans... boy have i got a treat for you. lmao.

I have a friend who's PC within months would get like that and it got into everything. The CPU, GPU and PSU intake all had a layer a few mm thick dust on anything air should flow through

I still use my EVGA 1080 hybrid. I swear, I must have ended up with the superhero version, because I hear people using WAY better GPUs having issues with performance on things I just don't have issues with.

You sound like you have watched a lot of Jay’s two cents videos

I used a leaf blower for years. Recently, I did that outside. Killed my motherboard. Not sure how, but I’ll never do it again.

The fan’s producing voltage only happens if they happen to spin in one direction and they have to be a certain type of fan design anyway. Besides it’s a non-issue as there are diodes that prevent voltage backfeeding into to GPU so this concern is moot. In other words it’s a myth that just won’t go away.

@@South_0f_Heaven_true. Diodes, voltage regulators, the “ground wire”, capacitors all are safeguards.

@@South_0f_Heaven_ Magnets moved over coils produce a voltage regardless of direction. Yes, there should be diodes but they are only good upto a certain voltage. If for some reason you exceed that voltage, bad things will happen. I killed a 3d printer motherboard once by just moving the bed too quickly. Same thing.

Your best starting point is to find a guide with pics from someone tearing the card down to clean or put a block on it to see where the pads go, then see if you can find info on the specific cards pad thicknesses(ram and VRM often use different pad), or measure/guesstimate from your old pads if you have 'em. Keep in mind one size thicker is usually fine, one thinner might not be. Good luck. I had to do the same but with a GTX-680 a long time ago, had a watercooled pair, then one went flaky and I swapped the whole setup to a 1080, and then needed the good 680 for a secondary rig, I found an old forum thread about a guy wateblock swapping the same card asking the same thing since he ripped a pad.

Yeah, thought so as well

Looks like PCM on the core to me as well and chokes(did he call them caps?) are using thermal putty. Surprised to see him seemingly oblivious to these.

MAYBE, I don't think his PNY deal is finalized yet

Kingpin isnt back yet his deal isn’t finalised. Also the EVGA 4090 is more like their FTW3 GPUs than kingpin

@@ThePrimordialArchon he is looking so he is planing to come bacl

@@koky179 planning doesnt mean his deal with PNY is finalised. PNY can pull out and he’d have to spend another year looking. Either way once hes back his cards should be the true top of the line

@@ThePrimordialArchon planning does not mean it will be pny

We are going to need GamersNexus to test out their RMA process and warranty. I've seen enough reports online that they will never replace EVGA. No second hand warranty coverage, warranty void stickers (and people claiming denied because of it) told warranty will be voided from maintenance (paste and pads changed)

Depends how good the cards are.

Absolutely. I surprised he hasn't already started with PNY videos. With that said though im glad to see KP partner with PNY, if its happening, that will be a great fit. He can push their company further down the Gaming PC enthusiast rabbit hole. They are respected in the professional world, so hopefully they can continue in the enthusiast market.

@@crisnmaryfam7344 Gamers Nexus had a good video, kind of funny watching him fanboy over GamersNexus merch. Good interview, recommend people watch. (After they watch Jayz videos first! 😉

Highly unlikely. Kingpin was also pretty clear when he said "EVGA is gone". Very sad...

None of the people doing that work there anymore. Kingpin implied he is going to PNY for 5000 series.

@@WayStedYou that sound really good. Lets hope they listen to him and we get a "new" EVGA quality from PNY.

@@Satori-Automotive pny is cheap and plasticly looking really hard to imagine they would manage to rebrand it to somehting like evga

@@chasethefeel Have you ever held a consumer PNY product in the past few years? Contrary to what your perception of their consumer products are, they're very well made, just without the frills and BS you get from the other manufacturers. They're also (and have been since forever), a big player in the enterprise space as well. If anything I'm surprised people aren't digesting this and realizing they're the only OEM partner with the least BS. It in turns hurts their marketing appeal, but that's what make this speculated move for KingPNY so great.

EVGA also used 3 pin connectors on the pcb of the 3090 cards, which they would have used in the 4090's. Using 3 pin connectors instead of trying to shove all that dangerously high amps through a singular tiny fragile connector meant that all 3 pin connectors are sharing the load into one thirds. Ironically, EVGA would have swept the market for this series card because everyone would be clamouring for the only brand that had burnproof 4090 cards. Jay undoubtedly has one of the few burnproof cards in the world.

EVGA 3090ti cards have these connectors on the end too and I've never heard of one melting even when pulling the full 600 watts.

@@luminatrixfanfictionEVGA 3090 Ti’s have a 12VHP plug on the side of the GPU and they work just fine. I personally own one and know this to be fact so your statement is not factually correct. Mine came with an adapter which is a 3 PCIE into 1 12VHP angled connector that works just fine. Checked the temperature of the plug and the temperature is no different then a PCIE power plug so zero issues and not a thought ever enters my mind about it burning up. The ones that burn up are from user error. Not plugged in all the way, tension on the plug, XOC VBIOS being used that draw more current then the plug is rated at, using PSU’s that don’t provide enough current, etc. This notion that they will all burn up needs to end as it’s based on bad information then the internet ran with it blowing it out of proportion without including relevant details as to why some burned up. Regular user that has the plug seated properly with no 800 watt XOC VBIOS installed or any of the other factors I mentioned will never have a problem.

@@South_0f_Heaven_ Perhaps I meant the 3080's. You're not factually correct however, the ones burning up is not user error. That's been debunked multiple times. There's more than 50 amps being shoved through fragile connector cable and pin connectors that was rated for only a certain voltage and current. The theoretical limit is not the same as a real world application limit. They built it with 12VHP in mind based off the theoretical limit, not real world limit, not accounting for impurities in the copper wiring (which causes electrical resistance). That resistance directly translates to heat energy waste, hence the burning connectors. Ergo, a design fault. The 4090's which got fixed at Northridge, are going to continue needing to get it repaired and connectors replaced every six months. Also, your 3090 won't draw as much power compared to a 4090, so you won't have that issue.

​@@ffwastthe connectors on the 30 series were different from the standardized 13vhp.

Same here. It’s useful for all kinds of things. Last I used it on my stove fan to open it and clean it since it used an unusual screw.

Other companies do make extreme overclocking cards.

Yes, Jay and Phil are huge space and astronomy geeks, they talked about the game in some RTFM shows back then if I remember correctly
