My dad bought a 256 SATA SSD for 2000 dollars a long time ago. He's a computer software engineer so I guess he had a need for it. Now, is probably going to be a part in my $550 PC flip. 😅

Time to change my thermal paste...

I have a 13900k, I will be switching to AMD on my next build or rebuild

a Pc case which can be upgradable for the next 10 years maybe? Priority to a minimum of 6 Pcie slots for 6x RTX4090 one day? (in 5 years when they are cheap, affording 5 more will be easy? and it will be the norm ?.... enough ram slots to do 1 TB Ram?..... superquite cooling?...... Minimum of 6 Thunderbolt 4 ports? .... Would such PC cases actually even exist now?

15:50 I do the same for the kids in my fam. I have opened up my PC to show them the parts. They still find it super cool. In fact i think pretty much all of them are on PC lol. Some of them even made their "setup" similar to mine (my setup is an absolute mess lmao). One thing i absolutely didn't do was tell them the real price though lol. I want them to be cost conscious. 1 of the kids was inspired enough to build a PC. He had a lot of trouble but went through with it mostly on his own and didn't ask me for help till he had an issue (ssd with OS wasn't booting, needed format). And he was also cost conscious despite the build being entirely on his dad's wallet. His dad has PLENTY of $$$ but even then he chose not to spend a lot. I am hoping my influence on not needing $$$ to having a gaming PC was part of his evaluation lol.

Shalom

I repasted my dual-fan 3060ti using noctua nt-h2 and my temps dropped from low 80s to low 70s, and some less intense games run even cooler. I didn't even replace the pads because I didn't have the right size. Repasting is definitely worth it in my opinion (but look up pad thickness and order pads ahead of time lol)

Fun video. Thanks.

It's crazy how well the 1080/ti hold up 7 years after their release. There is a chance we won't see another gpu that offers that level of value again. I'm happy with the 7900x even though there are new cpus dropping. The 7900x is great for its price and should not disappoint. The AM5 socket should be around for a while, so I can miss a gen or two, and it shouldn't hurt too much.

My Gigabyte 4090's never been above 60 degree C so im not that worried about it melting (currently doing as we speak 220 watts playing at 4K Ultra at 180fps so i guess this specific card as been undervolted from factory but its okay i dont need more than that) And yes the size of it is quite funny, its 1:1 the same size as the Xbox Series S hahaha

new to building computers and I have wanted to find a tech youtuber that I could watch and watching this video was just so calming and relaxing it wasn't all over the place with things I just loved this video. Keep up the good work and I hope your channel grows more.

what do you think about gtx 1650?

Good stuff. I need to apply new paste to my own graphics card, I don't think I have ever done that :( /ducks

My turn.. ;)

I always enjoy the older hardware videos It seems like Intel knew about this problem but continued with production of the faulty CPUs. What's wild is that there doesn't seem to be any QA verification from Intel after they first found out about the issue. I would feel much different about this is they issued some sort of recall instead of doubling down that this is merely a voltage issue

Don't forget that when you swap pastes first few start ups it runs hotter as the paste expands then it settles down and runs cooler. Try doing this test after 3-4 days of daily usage with the card the results might be a bit different. And the guy from India trying to scam you? Classic

sweats in 1080ti with OG thermal paste lol. I was planning on throwing an AIO on it with a kryosheet on the gpu. debating about putting heatsinks on the ram but it doesnt really get that hot and Gamer's Nexus didnt even worry about it in their liquid cooler upgrade to their msi armor 1080ti (same model I have)

didn't expect the old paste to be so good after all those years

I was lucky and got a few Amd Fury Nanos for $60 each firet thing i did was cleaned the copper heatsink and die really well then gave them the conformal coating on smds and Liquid Metal. I managed to drop temps to 60c under load from 85c and boy the Coil Whine when under load was high pitched so i used silicon berween the vrms shut that issue right up. These cards are amazing next project is to find a Radeon Vii for under $500 lol

That card will be a good candidate for a aio. The blower style cooler is a war crime. But considering amd tells customers its fine how their rx 5700 xt runs at 110 degrees i guess that is the standard now somehow. With Intel you also have the feeling this microcode update will do next to nothing? I think they can polish the turd all they want but it will never start to shine.

I've never had a gaming quality keyboard and the one I use is starting to skip keystrokes. I'd love to get yours but I'm content with your recommendations. I didn't realize GPU's should have their paste replaced so often. Thanks for the heads up.

I was expecting a lower temp after the repaste however, lower temps is lower temps.

Glad I bought a 3070 instead for like $200. Overclocked it to the equivalent of 3080 and was done. Zero issues.

Seems like the quality of just about everything dropped noticeably during/after CViD. Shipping lanes backed up, company shut downs etc. I suspect we will be feeling the effects from that for several more years to come. Wish I could remember which one it was but I subbed to your channel since I am new to PC building and all that fun stuff, it's turned into quite a passion so thanks for your informational videos! Whichever one I watched, I'm sure it helped me with some issue or gave me the advice I was looking for to help me build the beast of a gaming setup that I love and am now quite proud of ^-^ Being a total n00b to all this, do you think that I should be more cautious with my CPU/GPU, like, check the paste in the GPU and pads, maybe add some to certain areas of the PCB that are rarely covered by pads? Like VRM(?) chips? Seen videos of breakdowns where a really great channel ranks different GPU's based on the way they are put together and how the cooling works/where the thermal pads are in relation to where the heat is generated inside the cards. Really fascinating stuff and I am loving learning about it. I know ya might be thinking that a beginner maybe shouldn't be taking apart their GPU but I do my homework kinda obsessively lol I'm pretty confident in opening one up. I'm actually going to do a full clean on the first used PC I started with and re-paste the CPU/GPU and give it to my parents for browsing and spreadsheets n whatnot. It's a pre ryzen AMD 7 CPU with an RX560, seasonic 500w PSU that I did some upgrades to for use as a music production setup. Still works good but I can hear it crying out for some TLC and I think a good solid cleaning could give it a couple more yrs of life. Sry, off into the weeds a bit there. So I guess what I mean is, do you think with all these problems being discovered even in top of the line parts that it's worth checking what I've got? My RX6800 is a bit noisier than I feel it should be but temps appear to be fine. Maybe the 3060 I started with spoiled me a bit on realistic expectations on how the more powerful cards from AMD sound like. That 3060 is seriously nice, I'm pretty sure I won that silicon lotto ppl talk about with that card. Thing way outperforms everything I have seen and everything everyone told me it couldn't do, it can. I plan on putting it into the new music production PC I am in the process of parting out. Got a 7800x3d and a 7900XT on deck for an AM5 gaming setup and will just transfer the AM4 mobo into a new case for the production rig. I would like to crack them open and check the PCB's in the 6800 and 7900xt to see how well they are protected since XFX warranty isn't voided by doing so. Considering putting some little thermal pad squares on the exposed chip areas if there are any. I'm betting there will be. Do you think this is worth doing? Am I taking it a bit too far? Or is it a good thing to be thorough like that? I guess I'm just really ambitious and have kinda found a passion in all this, I want to learn and make sure this stuff is working and protected as well as can be considering the expense of it all. That's another thing in regards to the CPU issues being discovered, the 7800x3d. They run very hot from what I have learned. Can't say I'm not a bit worried about cooking a mobo considering I really do not want to use an AIO. Something about them just really doesn't sit right with me and I'm not sure why I feel so hesitant about them. Perhaps the added complexity of the maintenence in water cooling. I have read alot of reviews of people using higher end air coolers on the x3d's saying they work. But you just never know reading a review, how long have they had that running? A week? A month? 6 months? IMO, that's right when problems would likely start to appear. Hasty reviews sketch me out, can't trust them. And it's so hard, even near impossible to find info from people who have had a setup like that for over a year with solid feedback. Guess I ought to sign up to some forums on reputable sites and start some discussions. Sorry this is so long, I have a bit of a hard time keeping things brief as I'm sure you've noticed. If you feel up to answering any of this, it would be greatly appreciated. I see you have just returned from a trip so by all means, take your time and get comfy before going through my screed lol TL;DR Is it worth checking out my newer hardware for thermal efficiency? Check their pasting jobs, thermal pads etc. I've got a hunch I would put alot more love into it lol Thanks a bunch! Cool vid, I sure do love learning about this stuff. I really ought to run that 3060 through some of these benchmarks and find out why it just works so well. In some ways it was more impressive @ 1440 in Hellblade 2 than the 6800! Which is nuts! Nothing but impressed with that card. Wish I could have gotten a 4070ti super but it just seemed silly to sidegrade to another 16gb VRAM card. Plus I got an insanely good deal on the 7900xt. Future games are going to become much more demanding since photorealism is here and I am really into the graphic spectacle games. Anywho, I'll spare you here lol That keyboard looks pretty neat! One of the last things I have yet to upgrade since I didn't really see the priority in it. I like that it's still got the arrow keys. Since my favorite game is darkest dungeon and it uses the keyboard for movement, so 60% isn't really an option. HAH! I just remembered, I bet that I found your channel when I was learning about keyboard upgrades! Could be wrong. I'll have to go through your vids and see if I recognize anything. Alright, for real this time, count me in on the giveaway! That would be amazing! Congrats to the lucky winner! If anyone else feels like chiming in too, I'm open to any other inputs. All perspectives are appreciated. I'll look forward to whatever else you've got coming out in the future. Perhaps some stuff on PCB's in GPU's and thermal efficiency? Or general efficiency in uncertain times? Things to look out for etc. Subbed, liked and enjoyed. Thanks! BTW 1080ti for 100?? Man I gotta check out some used GPU's. Replacing that RX560 would be a smart move. See? Lol I just can't seem to stop XD Peace!

I love liminal spaces

I have to say, from my experience the GPUs tend to be more tolerant to the...need for paste replacement. It can obviously help, not in this case as you hilariously showed, but IMO year for year they tend to need it less than CPUs. At least that's my experience. I have to say man, I wouldn't go near a blower style GPU ever again. The last two I got (15-18 years ago) were the HD4870X2 and the Radeon 6850 and they were horrifying in how hot and how loud they would get. Never another blower style again for me. Never. OK the 6850 was better, but still bad. Speaking of CPUs. I heard AMD pushed back the release of their latest ones and even called back the products...for a couple of weeks. Any idea WTF that is about? I mean, if there is an issue with them, how are they going to fix it in two weeks and have the products back for shipment? It doesn't make sense to me. Good for you doing giveaways. Bravo. I have done it several times before, but only for software. It feels good when you do it, doesn't it?

Hey man, love the keyboard. Oh yeah what about AMD putting a hold on the 9000 series CPU's. There are so many people mad about it but it's like you want them to release CPU'S that are having issue's running to spec. Crazy, good conversation to make a vid about. Another thing, I don't believe the problem withe Intel being just about micro code. They are just refreshes of what 12th gen, idk we'll see when they ship out the update. Good vid man.

It's going to be interesting with more recent cards that have had cheap-ish compounds applied on them. Kinda baffling that some cost saving mesure means cutting there, but at least some really good compounds have been coming out with more accessible pricing to ensure affordability and durability. Only had experiences with repasting laptops' or MXM's, and probably some GT210 I found a couple years back 😂.

it would be cool if Arctic or noctua were still selling replacement air coolers for at least reference GPUs or blowers like this

If you are just using it for gaming, there is no need to test it on a bench.

Loved what you did on the original Intel stutter issue, and would enjoy hearing your thoughts now that chips are actually dying. I get this feeling that tech companies are squeezing those safety margins really hard lately. Melting connectors, degrading silicon, sub-par thermal paste, etc.

Insane how well that paste was holding up. Yeah it looked crusty but man it was performing! Good video as always! Keep it up!

I've got several older cards and it's super hit and miss whether or not new paste helps. I've seen as much as a 16 degree drop and as little as nothing at all. Either way, good to service them regardless

Just a few things... I was trying to give you guys some content after a long exhausting trip overseas, so I am sorry if it's not of the highest quality. I swear I am still jet-lagged. Also I really should have picked a non blower card to show a better example, but I have yet to find a 7+ year old virgin card that hasn't had the paste changed. Oh well, not every video is a banger lol. As for the keyboard, It will be USA and Canada shipping only. When I hit 5k subs I'll be doing a gift card giveaway that will be worldwide as a thank you to everyone, especially those fans who are not on this continent.

Just to know… was the cpu overclocked or PL over 253W?

Thanks for the great Video, .. Ps; I love my Sapphire RX 7900 XTX Nitro+, ..

Already wrong about the connector. Nvidia didn't make it. It is a standard from PCIe Group. People just didn't plug in the connector all the way in. Simple.

At this point I would just dump it and just use Amd.

Confirmed oxidation issues with manufacturing + voltage requests being too high. Idk if this is known but AI/autoclocking has been around for a while + always been bad. My 8700k would be dead as well if I let it decide what voltages to recieve. Even now you are probably massively overvolted. my 13700k is everybenchmark/stresstest stable at 1.27V 5.4Ghz all core + 4.4ghz on the ecores 4.8ghz ring. My chip just doesnt do 4.9 ring at any reasonable voltage. My vid says 1.325v for this frequency however I don't let the VID do anything its disabled, all boosting disabled, static voltage, static frequency. Thing is that these chips are probably all designed around the base or old base of 1.0V to 1.2V so you can get away with marginally higher than that. The manufacturing oxidation error however has no excuses. If manually controlling my chip still doesn't protect it then they had better honor warrenties. I thought the voltages on these chips were wild since day one. Auto on my mobo shoves 1.45v at all core for 5.5ghz LOL

Yes, i must ditch that asus gamer keyring for my housekeys.

How do you find CPU quality?

The 4090 is the best card right now but 5-7 years from now it’s value will drop off a cliff that’s how hardware works for computers just wait couple years and price will go down lots

Does this affect the core i5 series as well? I’m hoping not cause it’s a lower powered laptop 13430h.

Weird my asus board says 84 sp

how to check this i have MSI z790 p wifi ddr5 with 14700k??

Thats interesting, i think my asus z790 board has similar quality feature for their ai overclock… now i want to check if its changed!
