"squoze..." 👍
well you didn't lose the money untill you sell out of your trade
On the topic of Linus. He knew it was a black hole before he started. He did not do it to make money it was always especially paying to make a point/take a stand.
Well we all know Linus drops everything he touches XD
is it me or does that card look like a Kamen rider belt
It's hard to appreciate records that only a small minority get to attempt, not that many of us have liquid nitrogen laying around. To be fair, I live in Minnesota so if I could get my hands on one of these GPU's, I wouldn't need liquid nitrogen, I could just take my PC outside. I mean what does LN2 get down to, -300 or something? We call that February around here. Can you cool your PC down to February? Yeah I didn't think so.
I'm surprised. You reviewers should be telling AMD to take a hike and sending the test samples back. Why bother with news or a review if they can't deliver a product. All the effort & time spent on the 6800, 6800xt, and 6900xt for WHAT? Nobody can buy one so who are these reviews for?
Thermaltake copied Noctua? Dude just stop. Basically every damn fan, cooler and case copied original Thermaltake designs. Yes Thermaltake is not the giant it once was - however there is no moral dilemma here! LOL
Holy shit... 30.000$ loss to Linus? ...... Well I guess he can just sell 2 of his RTX 3090 cards he has sitting on his shelf to make up the losses. LOL
people can sell their 3090 to get this one haha
so linus dun goofed huh. i dont know much about stocks but i kind of wished everyone would get better out of it.
just buy the redux fans if you want better colors and cheaper prices
damn ur hot
Thermaltake is a filthy company, I once RMAd my PSU and they played football with it and told me look! it seems it has been run over by a truck and threw it in my face straight to trash, that was the last time I bought thermalfake
who cares if they copied the fan? it looks 100% better
Once Joe Sixpack talks about a stock, it’s already too late to get in.
2:16 this hurts so deeply.
ThermalFake can get stuffed.
dont xpg benchmark under all competing hardware. i got wd sn750 was 100$ cheaper can
linus didnt lose any money because he didn't sell
how is it a rip off, fan, its cheaper works just as good and a color you want.. fuck noctua.
Noctua's tardiness to offer normal colored fans is just plain laziness at this point. It's not like it's that hard to get their injection molder to spec alternate colored resins into their molds. But if noctua wants to shoot themselves in the foot, that's up to them. It's not like tardiness and status quo mentality ever cost anybody market share *cough* intel *cough*
Mining is almost dead with GPU's. Was doing it for 3 years. The GPU's went to scalpers on ebay who thought miners were going to buy them. They will not. lol Be patient and don't pay their ridiculous prices.
At this point releasing new gpu´s is just cruel.
Can you remove the stupid crown? It really let's down the athletic
It is a shame we can leave only one like per video. Great and informative piece. Personally, I like the Tt fan. Reminds me of the EK Vardar fans a bit.
6:10 lol, are you high? BOTH fans are a straight copies of the gentle typhoon.
"And yes, they're all SOLD OUT". News of the decade. 😢
I call bullshit.
I don't care if nVidia cures cancer tomorrow, I don't want nVidia in my computer ever again. This is what nVidia always does, They crank up the clocks and hope you're stupid enough to think that clock speeds are everything. Act like a king pin in Texas and you'll be strapped to the front of a train. We do that here to anything called King.
Linus lost more money by the stuff he dropped and destroyed.
PAUL TO THE MOON
there is no way AMD gonna introduce 6700xt this year. you can't even find 6000 series gpu in the market right now.
VR: wait for that 10,000ppi stuff to come out... best vr atm is 1000ish ppi ( look it up)
Mass Effect will change you. Will they exchange the Elusive Man to Jeff Bezos? Martin Sheen is Great in this.
next linus is a doctor an expert about ConVid19 and will tell all his viewers to get the mRna Vaccine dont worry your bells palsy or nerve damage will only last a few life times, its also normal if you die, Linis the Expert in everything the know it all of 2021
Might be in the margins here... BUT... I spend my PC time looking at my monitors, my case is beside me and visible and filled with Beige and Brown Noctua fans I an not phased by the colour of my internal components, The case looks nice and that is about the extent of that "problem". But hey don't let my happiness get in the way of a companies instantly identifiable branding and rage away until everyone gets their way and removes another bit of individuality from PC building. Love the news Paul, thanks.
So Thermaltake did Noctua's job to CHANGE THE FREAKING COLOR. It's not rocket scient Noctua. FFS. Thermaltake can do it, so can you.
EVGA Kingpin because customer support
Best advice ever - learn how to shave your beard. At 40
Noctua = Bakelite
Um... if you see it that way, yeah, he's lost that money, but as long as he holds we don't know what will the future hold. Apparently hedge funds are selling amongst themselves to bring the stock price down. In other words, as long as you don't sell your stocks, you haven't lost or earned sht.
that design is from Nidec gentle typhoon the rests are just clone copy
You could probably clock a 6900 xt to 3ghz with a simple water cooling setup if AMD didnt artificially limit clocks.
Thermalfakegate again wtf they are a shitty comany. Jay said that a while ago. They ripped off several products a few years back.
Hi I'm building mi first mini itx build I was wondering when I put in the m.2 ssd on the back of motherboard would that heat up the riser cable with my gpu. If so what can I do to prevent that.
This gaudy Galax card will look supremely ridiculous 2 or 3 generations down the line, in contrast to just plain ridiculous right now. Just imagine a 980ti with those looks in a build today. :)
Whaaaaa??? What happened? I loved this show !!! News was on point, sharp, punchy and more importantly funny! :) Not sure when you changed the format/editing/approach but loving it. Coming back to watch more... !!!!! I think this is one of the best tech news updates I seen in 2021. Great work Paul!
Wtf is Linus?
That is the most over the top ridiculous looking graphics card I have ever seen and I'm absolutely in love with it
How did galax get it so high and why dont other gpu manufacturers do this the kingpin tops out at 2600 if ur lucky I though mine was higher at 2300 3090 ftw3 over 3 ghertx wtf
This was awesome
Paul, Mass Effect is a favorite, I can't wait to hear your take on it! Also, since we are in GPU hell, one upside of the Legendary Edition is that no one needs new hardware to run it.
as a costumer, i would aprove a copy! what noctua have gave us? performance/db ratio. but users are sick of the color scheme, and the price... its overpriced for a consumer grade hardware.
Yeah but you can’t buy a video card anywhere.
Yay more things I can’t afford and even if I could all the scalpers and their bots are gonna get anyway🤦♂️
Ali is a gotdamn champ. Anyone with even a slight interest in pc hardware and in particular sff-builds needs to subsribe to Optimum Tech.
Linus should have invested in Bitcoin instead of all these crappy companies...
Haven't we already had enough people die in space? Space X is a fucking joke.
Me hearing Linus lost money: "You have my interest"
I can't wait to see what happens with Mass Effect. I don't have high hopes after reading about the visual changes they announced.
can't wait for 6700 XT mining benchmarks.
Linus knew going in he was going to lose that money.
Maybe Linus can sponsor a trip in SpaceX
love these! dont stop!
Wakeup call to Noctua... We want some aesthetic options.
Smart people know not to trust what Linus says. He often gives out wrong information. Doesn't surprise me he lost big on GME.
Holy moly that galax is ugly af
yes, linus teaching us that buying a product (stock/device/good/etc.) at its all time high is generally a bad idea
In this case of the copy of Noctua, i would buy the copy one, just because Noctua don't listen to its customers, these corpos need to learn a lesson UwU
For some reason the Galax Hall of Fame GPU makes me want to go to White Castle. Am I the only one? Thanks Paul for the good work as always.
That parody video was spot on! rofl And if Linus lost $20k+ and it was in Canadian $$ then it was only like $5 American lol
5:30 "wE sEnD tHe MeSsAgE", "hOlD iT!"
Awesome !
We can’t get cards.
Just days after GameStop stock went up Wallstreet hedge funds banned the buying and only allowed the selling of the stock to force the price down. 🤦♂️ Why would anyone buy GameStop stock after that??? The stock market is rigged.
Your reviews are great Paul. Not a fan of the crowned lcd or the card but none the less it’s the fastest card. 👍
At 3:38 irworld.info/show/fy-lm-h-y/g59_edGcY7OGsqI.html
8k per eye means nothing if the fov is 80 or less. Got the HP G2 and the fov is only 80-90ish and its underwhelming. Returned it and got the Samsung G9, way better....
Why is the top of your head smaller than the bottom?
Good thing Linus is extremely wealthy. The entire GME and AMC position was classic pump and dump from day 1. Anyone who was still holding when it crashed probably shouldn't be investing.
when will we be able to purchase AMD's Ryzen 5950X, 5900X because they've been sold out since AMD said they were on sale..? What is going on with AMD's new 5000series CPUs, and 6000 series GPUs....??? When can I purchase this Hardware for my personal builds and family ...?
Thanks Paul, some news updates are great. I miss Tuesdays with you and Kyle. I've been waiting for the chromax version of the noctua a12x25.
Mass effect is awesome. The first one is best
Him: 6700XT Thumbnail: Geforce RTX
I tried playing Mass Effect, and the very first mission pissed me off to no end with the illogical, convoluted controls.
1:30 - hah. A Greek at the top again. Awesome. 🇬🇷
No
The off the shelf cards they were referring to are the OC Lab Edition cards which they produced between 50-100 of and they were using lapped dies. The OC Lab cards may not have been binned by Stavros or Tobias, but they've always been binned by Galax themselves.
Thermal take has my money for those fans
Everyone: Give us black/grey fans !!! ... Noctua: if we made are fans in black/grey then too many ppl would want them causing us to make more money, why would we want to but ourselves thru that??
Thermalfake at it again.
dont care Noctuas look like shit. Black and grey all the way.
to be fair to linus and to cover your glaring and pathetic omission regarding the fact the hedge funds got together the trade commission and backed by the silence of the new government , stopped the common man from investing by forcing those public invent sites to block trading.. what this taught us was that the elites suffer the common man as a source of wealth, not as a competitor to their wealth taking.
another out of stock :D
that HOF cooler is disgusting lol
He should have bought doge coin. My profits are ridiculous
Dude. Thank you so much for the kind words and the shout-out. Seriously made my entire week.
Shaddap
You deserve it. Your content is the absolute best in the SFFPC space imo.
Hi I'm building mi first mini itx build I was wondering when I put in the m.2 ssd on the back of motherboard would that heat up the riser cable with my gpu. If so what can I do to prevent that.

It is well deserved, you made me appreciate SFF and already built 2 last year. 👍
At least you can still buy $GME - Paul you are playing into the FUD hands of wallstreet
all the interesting news, short video, paul, thats the news i like
