Mostly posted for the segment on GPU supply chain goings-on, 1:10-4:12. Other good segments throughout like upcoming changes to Ethereum and the investment required, the entire Crysis trilogy is getting remastered, and Amazon's shift into playing Batman in the Dark Knight with their IoT wireless network.





@Phillyrider807 Noctua's air coolers are huge but they do the job well. I can't speak on watercooling options.

I built a PC in 2015 and looks like it’s finally giving me problems. In the video below do y’all think is a power supply related issue or a motherboard failure? I wanted to hold off on building another PC until next year but also I would need to resurrect this to move some of my music production licenses anyway

The way to determine PSU or MB is to try a known working PSU in it.

So...someone from LG CNS, their marketing arm, got caught out there trying to bribe a reviewer so as to minimize impact on potential sales. :ufdup:

Full disclosure, I own two of the 27GP850 model and they are great monitors.

I'm pretty sure my motherboard has suffered a failure. With that being said, I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons of just building a new one instead of buying a new motherboard because this was built in 2015. What would y'all do, and if I do go through with a new build would I ever be able to access my old system? I have the SSD the OS is on and the HDD for my storage. I make music and I'd rather deactivate my licenses on there if possible than go through each developer and hope they reset them.

Yes, changing a motherboard does not effect your hard drive and what u have on it.
