That seems to be the underlying issue, ultimately. The drive to push content faster taking precedent over quality. YouTube is a little weird in that regard. There are a lot of channels that do very high quality work doing intensive reviews, think GN, or Project Farm or even Vacuum Wars. Lot of...

I mean their ultimate agenda is protecting their brand. That's not a secret. It's not just the hot take from the lab, yes, that probably lit the fuse...but even Linus's response on the WAN vid (which is buried 2 1/2 hours deep in a stream) is a long winded "we think we can do it better". Which...

Oh I mean it's something but the real $$$ particularly with LTT is sponsorships and branded stuff. The sub totals are just a small part of the long term story.

I mean this place is a prime example of what LTT didn't do. Kyle threw some pretty controversial shots back in the day...but kept the receipts to back them up. And that brought a lot of us onto the site over the years because the bravado was backed up by evidence and a respected testing/data...

I don't think that's the case at all. Perhaps a beneficial side effect, but they didn't fire the first shot here. LTT is a "media" company. They do a wide variety of tech stuff typically more entertainment focused than informative. I was never a regular follower but semi-regular. I found parts...

Eh. There's people who like to work on their own cars and aren't fans of repair shops. As someone who doesn't really like working on their own car, I'm inclined to ask those people if there are shops they like because knowing they're going to scrutinize usually means their thumbs up is a sign of...

I mean you're not wrong to a degree but this is also the world Linus plays in. His image and brand is the value. It's not like LTT products are superior to other products, or he's got some tech IP worth anything. His testing methodology is obviously flawed. There's nothing there other than...

The overall scenario is common to many small companies that finds success and tries to grow exponentially. All the resources go into growth and brand capitalization and nothing goes into corporate structure or refining the workplace culture. I don't think Linus is a "bad guy" any more than the...

Devil's advocate....but you've got a very nice 4k panel. At 4K your CPU isn't going to be nearly as much of a bottleneck as it would be at lower resolutions. You could probably go high end last gen, 6900XT, 3080/Ti/90/Ti and things would be acceptable then work on upgrading the rest of your system.

No other issues pushing 350 watts through? I've been hesitant to push past 300 watts just due to lack of confidence in the reference power delivery.

I took the reference backplate off, but from what I've seen repasting is not only a PITA but not huge improvements. My temps on the 6800XT BE haven't really been an issue, though, with some aggressive fan curves.

I was reluctant but was a near necessity to get the most out of the new cpu

I have a huge undervolt, I actually didn't save my exact settings from my best run, but it was @ 1050mV or so. Playing with voltage is the where most dividends came from. My card can hit 2.8ghz but will thermal throtlle, but it'll run 2.5-2.6ghz no problem on a full benchmark without thermal...

I upped power just a bit on my 6800XT to get the 22k score. 298 watts @ max draw. It's an AMD reference black edition card, and while the fans are....not quiet....at those settings the temps are within reason. I don't keep my card pegged at that extreme OC, but I'll game all day with a pretty...

Ran again because I didn't take a snip of the graph.....and got a higher score....average clock 2,542 MHz. Not sure if I just hit the silicon lottery here or not....this is a 100% stock reference card, reference cooler. Only mod is removing the backplate.

Definitely was power, little tweaking there: Temps are still acceptable, 68 max GPU temp and 91 hot spot after a few TimeSpy runs.

I'm pretty sure I'm stuck on a power delivery wall. Not quite sure I want to mess with MPT though. Either way getting 3080Ti numbers on a card In paid $659 for is a good, good feeling.

6800xt Midnight Black reference card

Eh it's the light hash rate model, pass

6800XT in main machine, 3070 in wife's machine I would annex in the event of an emergency....barring that would be G15 laptop wit the 4800HS/RTX 2060.

Or an OnlyFans of sticking things in microwaves. Sure there's someone out there willing to pay for that.

Nobody knows how to assist you because nobody has ever done this. Literally everything could be damaged because lord knows what electrical pathways you connected that should never be connected.

If OP gets bored and wants to try fixing other things

The Japanese have always been good with this kind of thing makes sense that their breading is ideal for deep frying electronics. Thank you, will follow up, figure I should be able to really push the OC on a 6800XT if I can get it golden brown.

I'll give you the only real answer. Put it on ebay "as is" "parts only" and some dummy will give you $100 for it. Use this $100 to purchase another microwave.

Well it did it's job then. It defrosted your frozen solid metal and plastic for you.

I had similar problems after I beer battered and deep fried a XBox 360. It's kind of ridiculous that today's electronics manufacturers with all the money they charge us can't better protect the equipment we buy from them for our various attempts to prepare them as food. But...

Just clarifying, the "2X" is the model of the card, only one for sale :)

Purchased on release day for myself, but managed to grab a 3070 a couple days later so using that and throwing this on for sale. As stated, new in box, sealed, never opened. Will include gift receipt. Paypal preferred for your protection and mine. Will ship by whatever buyer prefer method but...

I've got a ASRock M3A770DE with a 955 BE and stock cooler sitting in a mobo box. I have no real need of it. If that would help, hit me up.

Had a few questions over PM that I'll try and answer in the the thread: Picture of card (no cable management shaming....it's a windowless case for a reason) I did a fresh run of Time Spy so anyone interested can see the clocks/temps I'm getting with a fairly high core overclock and a mild...

Looking to sell my Asus 1080Ti Turbo. Original cooling removed and replaced with NZXT G12 bracket and Arctic Cooling Liquid Freezer 120mm AIO. Overclocks and runs extremely well with AIO cooler, 10500+ GPU TimeSpy score when maxed out. I do NOT have original box or shroud, I misplaced them in a...

Nudge.

In good condition, nothing too fancy, just a solid low end gaming laptop. Only upgrade/addon is the SSD. I5-7300HQ 8GB RAM GTX 1050 2GB Intel 540s 480GB m.2 SSD 1TB spinner Will throw a clean install on before shipping. $500 with free shipping in the USA. Not overly wiling to haggle at this...

If you want quality for fairly low price and don't mind fiddling a bit to get it all set up, you can't go wrong with a rack of Hikvision cameras....they're good equipment but they're straight off the boat and kind of a mix bag of configurations. Throw them onto a not too ancient computer Blue...

I've used it in the past but not sure it's the route I'd want to go for a "business". It's an idea, though. Ideally looking for something with the support of a paid application, just maybe some options cheaper than Teamviewer and such

Have a friend asking about setting up something for a family business. I'm familiar with TeamViewer and GoTo products but they're also pricier than ideal for this. I'm not real sure what I'm getting into on "their" end, my guess is security/firewall isn't going to be a hinderance if it even...
