I-fixit should license that commercial for them to play on other channels

[@bryanwhite2685]

They need to update that commercial since GPUs are plentiful now... Pricing sucks now, but the inventory problems don't exist anymore. Love iFixit and use their Essential Electronics Toolkit all the time.

Was watching this video late last night on my phone. My wife is a deep sleeper and watch videos on my phone loud all the time. But the iFix it ad startled her and woke her up LOL.

[@lexluthermiester]

@JayzTwoCents Fun fact, I was a manager at a PCClub for a few years(until the founder's son ran the company into the ground...) and we didn't suffer any losses from defects returns. We sent them back to the manufacturers for credit on new inventory. Sure it cost some shipping but that was factored into the costs of operation. Do not in any way feel bad about those returns, it wouldn't have done much, if any, harm or loss.

[@3dchick]

This was awesome. Love the genuineness of these. Fun!

[@mgaming7]

I love the Power connectors on the back of MB. All vendors just need to keep everything where it is now but on the back instead of the front. super easy. all case makers can make cases to support that. super simple. it does not have to be complicated.

[@YukiThor]

I like these small videos, stay healthy and positive Jay

[@SOCMMOB]

Those mini mills and lathes can put out some impressive stuff for the size, and they fit on a bench. They can be upgraded for rigidity and accuracy too.

[@milqueto]

I remember a video during one of the SW rebuilds, and you had just bent all the tubing for it; one of the DIMM slots wasn't functioning. You were not happy about that. Something about be sure to bench test everything, especially when custom watercooling is involved.

[@Lumindeas]

Yeah, just had a buddy do a build using the MSI B650M Project Zero mobo. Has the connectors on back. Looks great, but he did say it limited him on case options due to the new connector placement. Two Corsair and two MSI cases, and one other he mentioned, were his choices. I pretty much lean the same as you on the aesthetic appeal, Jay. Happy St. Patrick's Day! :D

[@samrec]

That back plate connector motherboard is called Project Zero

[@WooShell]

Reminds me of that time I bought a Sun workstation from Canada, and didn't remember they're a 110V country just like the US.. plugged it in here in the EU and it gave a spectacular BANG. Thankfully, the parts were still legible so I could replace them..

[@aarontrupiano9328]

that power format that puts the power plug at the end of the pci-e slot reminds me of the vsa local bus expansion some old isa slots had

[@TigonIII]

Not many people can remember something from their first couple of years (0-4). My earliest memory is from when I was around 4½, and I guess it's because it is a pretty potent memory, as I was at Legoland with my family. And I remember my father recording with a shoulder camera (the ones where you put VHS tapes into to record), because this was the summer of 1990.

People may ask questions you've been thinking about or you can ask yourself, or come up with something important/interesting that you never thought about. Regardless of the video, when I see the new video up, I come watch, even ones that I'm not really interested in like water cooling.

[@titanoconnell5802]

Back in like early 2000s I wanted to quiet my fans down and PSUs all had the old 4-pin molex ketchup and mustard style. I did the 7v mod where you swap the 5v and the grnd to the 12v fans run at 7v. And it was all correct. But I forgot there was a hard drive on that same power chain cuz my friends were there we had to get started playing board games. I turned the machine on and blue smoke blew out the back of the tower. For those that don't understand OHM's law, when you halve the voltage on the same load, you double the current and therefore power draw which melted the plastic housing on the PSU lines. Somehow that PSU still mostly worked afterwards, except that one line.

[@DrDevil84]

I recommend to you the Danish Stauning Whiskey called Kaos!

[@Wyrmnax]

Really love this kind of content, Jayz It is interesting, fun, and give quite a bit of insight on how human you guys are. "How badly did you screw up a build?" "Well, I blew up a motherboard. Twice. For the exact same reason." We all feel like that sometimes, but seeing someone who is a reference do that puts us at ease.

[@commanderoof4578]

14:29 Undervolting is the the act of shifting the entire frequency voltage curve to the left 1 or more notches meaning higher frequency for the same voltage So what will have actually happened to them is running out of power headroom and the act of higher frequency lower voltage is allowing the card to stay at a lower voltage and have more current available at that frequency than it otherwise would have For my 3090 for example my curve starts at +235 at 0.7c and slowly tapers off to +30 at 1.025v because i run out of power limit before the card hits max frequency

[@LautaroQ2812]

I don't know if this would work similiar or same on CPUs but I had undervolted my 2600 and it would have a bit lower temps and boost to 3.9 (the normal boost allowed by defaults and bios unless you change clocks) and the clocks were set to auto, my idea was during a game or something it would boost down to keep temps/stability but I still had computer going black screen and be "frozen" (turned on but non responsive). Trying to research people said this could've been due to the PSU despite the wattage being enough, the quality and build of it in a way that it would overcharge and make it jump causing the issue. I changed that since and instead of a set voltage I put an offset and now it boosts only to 3.725 (Ghz) but temps are handled which is what I cared about. So far no issues, so we'll see how that goes. My shotty house electricity might've played some part on that too but can't tell for sure.

[@commanderoof4578]

@@LautaroQ2812 for CPU's you drop the voltage you always drop the current as well [very few exceptions] Curve optimiser is just undervolting I could have my 2600 at a 3.95GHz static overclock in star citizen i think it was 1.15v and a really bad cooler But in linpack couldn't go past 3.3GHz i dont think without the thing crashing

I may be late but I have a question about the xfx rx580 gts xxx gpu. I was playing fortnite for testing it in my pc (i5-8600, Asus prime b360m-c) and while playing, it would jump back to a previous move I had just done as in id jump a wall and walk a bit then I'd be ported back to jumping the wall again? The rx580 was brand new from micro center. I've played with a somewhat functional rx470 with no issues for this and before this I was running an i7-3770 with a gtx 1060 3gb with no problems.

[@mikeoleksa]

Backlight LEDs are cheap and pretty easy to fix. I've done several TVs in the 50" to 70" range and never paid more than 75 bucks for a full array. It's just LED strips adhered to a metal chassis behind the filters, diffusers, and other layers on the front of the panel. Once you pull the back panel and front bezel it exposes everything you need to get to. I had a mid-range Samsung TV that didn't even require any tools until I got to the point of separating the LED strips from the chassis and that's only because I had to break the adhesive holding the strips in place. It was all clips and tabs holding everything together. If you find out what panel Asus is actually using, there are probably replacement LED strips for it. You might even be surprised to find out that the panel is actually just a common LG or Samsung. It's not the panel that gives you the refresh rate, it's the mainboard that does the processing within the monitor.

[@mikeoleksa]

Just to follow up. A site called ShopJimmy that I use to buy 90% of my TV replacement parts from does have parts for Asus monitors also. If they don't have the exact parts, someone will. It might be worth looking into to see if you can find the replacement parts for the Asus BFGM and would certainly make for one heck of a video if you can find the parts and get it working again. Back to what I said in my original comment, you may even take apart the monitor and find out that the LED panel is just a common panel used by many manufacturers, which would make it even easier to find replacement parts.
