Intel CEO steps down, AMD RX 8800XT 220 watts? Noctua 3D prints and NZXT scams - Prawn News

[@747boy]

Please keep doing what you do. I've learned a lot from your videos. I just purchased the new V2 cooler for my 9800X3d, first thing I did was watch your video before installing with a push pull setup. Thanks

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks! Lucky you managing to get one of those CPUs! 👍

[@ThatPenguinDood]

I’m glad you’re not taking down videos of products because some people want you to. Just because NZXT is going through something right now, if somebody buys one of their products, they should still be able to get information online and be informed. IMO that’s different than a sponsor spot.

[@MLife1972]

Loving Prawn News. I like your take on the Gamers Nexus / NZXT video. They can be a little bit self-important and it's good that they called NZXT out but it's not exactly a 60 minutes scoop that Influencers will promote anything for cash. Having said that, I wish there was more transparency and legislation around youtubers favourably reviewing products for cash or freebies.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

@@MLife1972 the rules vary internationally but you are meant to declare things obviously.

[@afti03]

loving these news style videos! thanks!!!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Glad you like them!

[@MarX485]

Another great video. Like your news updates (along with your other guides / videos of course), keep doing what you are doing.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks, will do!

It is one thing to make a profit is another thing to screw your customers employees infrastructure and innovation over. the it's okay because they deserve it, earned it or whatever, and that's just business. It's literally not what America is built on and also. how was your healthcare richest people to poorest people's health care 20 years from now? It's getting worse every year. Products are getting cut down at the premium products. Healthcare indirectly and directly will get affected. if our education system does not keep up with everyone else's if nurses and customers. hospital patients basically are constantly cut back on how is your health care 20 years from now?

[@WooBino.]

That's TWO CEO'S down this week....😅

[@markwoodsher6469]

On the NZXT thing - thank goodness it wasn't in the UK. You gave a balanced and fair summary and opinion, well done Prawn!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

@@markwoodsher6469 thanks Mark

[@RazMaster01]

what GN is 100% true and I support his thoughts , you are getting paid to say something , you are responsible for learning what you are saying and influence and consequences it has , it's hypocrite marketing that NZXT has chosen and as I see it NZXT CEO won't last in his role for much longer if this Masquerade continues

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Sure, checks should be made. But equally the advertisers will have a script or talking points for the promotional content. It's their responsibility to make sure it's not false advertising or misleading.

[@RazMaster01]

​@@TheProvokedPrawn also the Strike that goes against NZXT isn't like racism but stopping their income so they see the consequences that have to be answered by Removing Renting or having leasing or ETC , scamming parents/kids that know no better , and advertising like : "Win one tournament and get enough to buy one" is delusional levels of idiotism

[@rmorenberg]

another good video. thanks for the updates

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks for watching

[@afti03]

After a canceled election in Romania and a clear coup and middle finger to our democracy, this video hit the spot. I needed this.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Woah. Crazy things happening in the world now.

[@cheekster777]

Thank you for another episode.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks for watching

[@hanswurst2220]

I disagree with you on that one /NZXT/ but still like your channel

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

That's fine. I did think I have a controversial opinion

[@GoldenKnight702]

Great job brother!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thank you!

[@bean420man]

NZXT went way beyond greed with their flex program. That is the big problem here. They included very broad, problematic and even illegal terms in their contracts. The amount you paid to rent the PC was many times higher than if you would have just bought it, even using a program like Affirm. Last but not least, is who they were mainly marketing to. It was teens and people who cannot afford to buy a PC outright; their whole flex site was marketing to these people. NZXT went way beyond greed and profit margins. Their response is also bad because instead of owning up to making mistakes, they double-down on how great the program is and that there will never be a rent-to-own option.

[@gryphon6sg]

the right hand does not communicate with the left hand and the right hand is left holding the bag. But according to GN , the terms of agreement by them is very scummy and who the heck keeps the original packaging? Will NZXT count the number of packing peanuts put back when you send the computer back to them? I got a bit heated when GN showed the terms of agreement as vetted by a lawyer, Gobsmacked and incredulous at the terms laid out. Your private files,images,vids are not yours to keep it's theirs for the taking and maybe selling to third parties who you might accrue bad juju from these scum suckers. You just signed away your rights to NZXT and you do not have a recourse . SMH until my dandruff starts flying off and i have a sore neck from the head shaking.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

I keep boxes and it drives my wife nuts. Tbh terms and conditions on rentals of any kind will be intricately detailed. Companies will always want to cover all bases. You can bet some users will just slap a pc in an empty box and ship it as is.

[@Qtomb3D]

I keep PC Case boxes for a very long time, but in general only 2 weeks sometimes 30 days so I can send it back in the original packaging which is usually needed.

[@anthonypra8899]

To whom it may be, who thinks the system is not completely rigged? any time ACEO gets fired? from their job, they get a golden parachute. Plus they're allowed to screw their customers, employees, infrastructure and innovation. The customers are the reason why the company exists. The employees are the foundation of the company. The infrastructure is the foundation of the company. Innovation is how we make more money or how we have a better life every year. The system has been rigged in the wrong direction. Just imagine your life better in every way two times better. Physically, emotionally, mentally and. the things that are in your life I am sick and tired thinking people thinking that it's supposed to be. supposed to be like this. It's supposed to get better every year, not worse every year.

[@Kmaitland89]

Yes we have a lot of fish bowl cases but man, do they look fucking good.

[@gregorymckenna6609]

What??? $7000 for a case? My requirements for buying a case is that I don’t cut my hands while working inside the case, parts fit easily and are secure and the design promotes adequate cooling. I can get all of that for about $150 USD. No case…repeat…no case is worth 7K

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Totally agree.

[@napoficial7123]

Maybe it's worst scam in history. Also NZXT Ceo response is toooo dangerous

[@RealMTBAddict]

Its*

[@uther10]

Kinda pissed I upgraded to a 1200 watt power supply.

[@WooBino.]

Not one KZbin reviewer mentions that the new x870 boards only has one audio out... what do us old guys with 5.1 guys do? I ordered a optical wire to see if my old Logitech Z5500 will work with the upcoming new build.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks for this insight. I love hearing about niche issues that people have. Gives me insights for reviews.

[@WooBino.]

@@TheProvokedPrawn I'm surprised it was not a major issue. I knew PC audio/speakers were past its heyday but thought enough people still used them. But we are in a world of apartments and headphones it seems.....🙃

[@WooBino.]

@@TheProvokedPrawn Me again this is in the ASUS spec sheet for the X870 HERO Can you explain this to me? Audio Features - SupremeFX Shielding Technology - ESS® ES9219 QUAD DAC - Gold-plated audio jacks - Rear optical S/PDIF out port - Premium audio capacitors * A chassis with an HD audio module in the front panel is required to support 7.1 Surround Sound audio output. ** The LINE OUT port on the rear panel does not support spatial audio. If you wish to use spatial audio, make sure to connect your audio output device to the audio jack on the front panel of your chassis or use a USB interface audio device.

nvidia release pci-e 5.0 gen and get 10% up lift over pci-e 4.0 due to better pci-e latency. while amd still stick with pci-e 4.0 and make this look like rebranded RDNA3

I appreciate GN and the research he does and what not. But I always get the feeling of arrogance with him like he takes that tech Jesus bs people call him to head.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Definitely a white knight.
