The Disappointment PC 2020: Worst Parts of the Year

Using the worst PC parts of 2020, we now have the newest Disappointment PC -- except there's one major problem, and it's that not even the worst parts are to be found.
Buy the Disappointment PC Shirt in cotton (store.gamersnexus.net/product...) or Tri-Blend (store.gamersnexus.net/product...) to support us, our special intros, in-depth testing, expansion into more educational content in 2021, and to commemorate a year of disappointment! These will be a limited run due to the nature of the shirt. We sell through these quickly.
Large Modmats are in stock and shipping now! Existing back-orders will ship over the next week to ten days, and new orders will be added to queue to ship along with those! store.gamersnexus.net/product...
Pint glasses and Bar Runner + 4-glass combos are also freshly restocked! store.gamersnexus.net/product...
This type of content is a ton of work. We really appreciate everyone's interest in our Disappointment PC series and put more effort into this video than probably any other edit this year. It was days of work to do the filming, editing, and even the story this time. To support our work on projects like this (and also to help fund our future in-depth testing overhauls for 2021), please consider buying a Disappointment PC shirt for 2020, linked above, or donating via Patreon: / gamersnexus
- we will be investing in more educational content than ever in 2021, and if you like what you see, we'd like you to get a shirt or behind-the-scenes content in exchange for the support. Thank you! -SB
Watch our progression here!

On the September bios that enabled 5000 support I got a Passmark score (and comparable performance) of 24,000pts which is BARELY better than the 5600x's 22,000pts... NOW after the recent updates that have happened, I am getting Passmark of 30,500 and the performance that goes with it! It is an amazing bang for the buck now. Single core hits 4.94Ghz, quad hits 4.76Ghz, and all 8 cores hit 4.69Ghz automatically, all while staying under 70c at all times (on a Deepcool 360ex with Kyronaut, which is not the best AIO out there)

this intro is really enjoyable

The shirts will sell out as fast as the 30 series. At least I hope they all sell. They should. Hell of a year. Hell. Of. A. Year.

Man that was the best intro EVERRRR PS. Using the PS5 as a tshirt hanger was a sneaky move

[@brian_sipe]

It probably improved the cooling...

[@ravine9083]

Another awesome disappointment build! Thanks for your hard work! 2020 wasn't a good year for everyone , there was a lot to look back on for this one video.

[@thealien_ali3382]

What a awesome intro hahaha Steve I know these take time and effort to make but come on u have to do more, this is insanely brilliant, keep up the awesome work and I and many others would love to see more of these types of intros

[@yofat696]

Only true gamers bleed out thermal paste...

[@PabzRoz]

PLEASE do more skits like this. I was dying the entire time. When I heard Linus say "We're open to revisiting this in the future should your editorial direction change" I lost it.

[@sadus33]

I love your sens of humor. I like this intro as well as hoover sponsorship video ;) Would like to see more of those.

[@DolganoFF]

And this Playstaion sitting there the whole time taking 25% of the screen, what was it for? 😅😅

[@How23497]

To act as a stand for the t shirt at the beginning

[@deepriver3035]

"Over-turned turtle being spun by all its competitors" LOL

[@robertthebrucey]

I don't know why but it was the Intel stock cooler application that got me. ROFL

[@memitim171]

That was funny, the best bit for me was when he slammed the cpu tray down and they were all made of paper. :D

[@Wootguy238]

I spit

[@Marrrrtin]

Just the right amount of thermal paste, if you ask me. Perfect! ;)

[@sandesh787]

Kinda surprised MSI/Starlet scalping their own GPUs wasn’t mentioned here.

[@patrickmcgovern4004]

Right? Scummy af

[@Zig2593]

that was the whole bit with the dragon and burying it which was done in the kill shot video and in this it unearthed itself

[@AndrewTSq]

They might sponsor the next video maybe ;P jk, no thats strange

[@krystina662]

I think Linus explained it well enough, MSI themselves probably didn't even know about it, most likely just a single dude who run the store did it. Not even a large corporation would do that, you want to risk losing license from Nvidia?

[@tobubiify]

@@krystina662 either way, they let it happen and didn't comment much about it

[@GameplayandTalk]

That intro was glorious!

[@razorsz195]

Steve lookin at the paper like "Goddammit not this again..."

[@agenericaccount3935]

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH KING SIZE INTRO. Goosebumps. Great nod to absolutely heretical levels of scalp/paper launches.

[@Vladi_AK47]

Bravo Steve, bravo 👏 The intro was brilliant ❤️‍🔥

[@l.m.8401]

I'm not even at min. 10 and already think this can possibly be your best video ever guys!

[@honjanginamo]

Linus segue be like: And you know whats not a disappointment?! THIS INTRO FROM GAMERS NEXUS

[@krazyfrog]

Segue. Segway is something else.

[@honjanginamo]

@@krazyfrog thanks for the correction i edited it, happy new year!

[@maiqtheliar2]

"2020 certainly didn't disappoint! If you were looking for disappointment..." I died

[@Giruvin1]

What an intro! Only 3 min in and can't wait to see what's next. Nice one Steve :D

[@floorpizza8074]

"....so...sorry" Literally LOL'd at that. Great video, GN crew.
