In this video, Bill Alverson of AMD shows us the tools he uses to troubleshoot and program RAM, including EXPO profiles and timings, and motherboard VRM protections. We also go through AMD's internal-only BIOS that it provides to partners, giving a better idea for the platform they build on. Bill also tells a story about a man named "Dave." You should listen to at least that, if nothing else.

We join Der8auer to make Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal in a factory in Germany. This low-volume, high-precision factory near Berlin is focused on manufacturing thermal paste, liquid metal, and CNC products like water blocks and fittings. Roman "Der8auer" Hartung shows us the processes for making liquid metal in this special video, following-up our previous video seeing how thermal paste is made. These processes involve chemistry, mechanics, manufacturing, scanning electron microscopes for R&D, and more.

Improved in almost all ways compared to the original but without removing what made fans love the original.

This video is just for fun. A small PC case manufacturer called "CherryTree" hand-made this pre-built PC by hollowing-out a Gigabyte video card, then named it the "RTX 5027 POS Edition." We're tearing it down and actually applying our testing lab to it. Because fun. The POS is shockingly well-built and very creative. We had fun with this one.

It's a bit confusing, but it's basically NUC internals strapped onto the form factor of a video card (with the original GPU ripped out).

In this video, we'll talk about NVIDIA's last several months of pressure to talk about DLSS more frequently in reviews, plus MFG 4X pressure from the company. NVIDIA has repeatedly made comments to GN that interviews, technical discussion, and access to engineers unrelated to MFG 4X and DLSS are made possible by talking about MFG 4X and DLSS. NVIDIA has explicitly stated that this type of content is made "possible" by benchmarking MFG 4X in reviews specifically, despite us separately and independently covering it in other videos, and has made repeated attempts to get multiplied framerate numbers into its benchmark charts. We will not play those games. In the time since, NVIDIA has offered certain unqualified media outlets access to drivers which actual qualified reviewers do not have access to, but allegedly only under the premise of publishing "previews" of the RTX 5060 in advance of its launch. Some outlets were given access to drivers specifically to publish what we believe ar

Selon Hardware Unboxed et Gamers Nexus, dans deux vidéos publiées aujourd'hui, Nvidia manipule les tests en mettant la pression sur les médias.

En résumé :

• Une tentative agressive de contrôler le message médiatique autour du lancement de la RTX 5060, notamment en imposant des conditions de test très spécifiques et favorables lors de "previews" accordées à certains médias.
• Des pressions directes sur les médias, allant jusqu'à menacer de couper l'accès à des ressources précieuses (échantillons, pilotes, interviews d'ingénieurs) s'ils ne se conforment pas à des directives éditoriales spécifiques, notamment l

This deep-dive investigation digs into the impact on the computer industry by volatility from frequent tariffs changes in the US market. We travel the US and make some calls to the EU to learn about how tariffs changes and rates are affecting various businesses, including those which already manufacture their own goods in the US and Canada. We spoke with independent freight forwarders, computer part manufacturers, computer building factories, Canadian and US-based case building factories, downstream manufacturers, and more about the real-world consequences of the current tariffs policies instituted by the US Government. Features [der8auer] (Thermal Grizzly) and [Louis Rossman], alongside Hyte, CyberPower, iBUYPOWER, Corsair, Cooler Master, 45 Drives / Protocase, and a freight forwarder from Straight Forwarding.

Meatsack summary / highlights:

The 5000 series has dropped support for 32-bit CUDA, causing e.g., 2010s-era games that implement PhysX to have to execute PhysX on the CPU, which can lead to atrocious performance (like a GTX 580 outperforming an RTX 5080) under bad in-game conditions -- even on a high-end current-gen system -- if you leave PhysX enabled and have a 5000-series GPU. Games designed with PhysX in mind are "experientially different" without PhysX and so disabling it is not desirable.

It's not the biggest deal in the world that games from 12, 15 years ago don't run on these modern GPUs - that's not really the core complaint here. [...] The real problem comes from everything that's sort of attached to it. And the concern we have is the broader issue which is that Nvidia has a habit of trying to come up with some sort of exclusive graphics tech for games - and it's the "exclusive" part that's key there.

[...] This drags the industry along in Nvidia's wake, and
