The Disappointment PC series is a super fun way for us to reset and recalibrate our expectations as reviewers and consumers, because it forces us to look at a year's worth of the worst products. We already posted a bunch of Best Of round-ups, so now we need to look back and cherish the moments of complete and utter let-down from each of the big PC companies. This past year began with hope as cryptomining collapsed and released its deathgrip on GPU prices, only to give way to a newfound AI obsession from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel that ultimately began re-driving some of those prices back up. We also got to witness the pure hubris required to launch a 16GB RTX 4060 Ti for $500 and target it at "1080p gaming," perhaps challenged only by ASUS' best efforts to blame the customer when CPUs exploded in their motherboards. And of course, our thanks to Intel for sneaking its Snake Oil meme in right before the end of the year.
Your support on these projects -- even just watching and sharing with friends -- allows us to keep doing what we do, and we enjoy starting the year fresh with a fun project. Enjoy, everyone! And thank you for all your support in 2023. We hope you have a great year and look forward to serving you more reviews in 2024!

    • This is the channel that I can still trust on being accurate and more importantly, this is the channel to own up to it and be honest and transparent in case something goes wrong and they do release something inaccurate or false. Jays2cents probably too but they are more of a build/unboxing/showcase channel than a real benchmarking/tech channel. Igor put way to much into Pascal with and his flawed fan results but had to backpedal, correct and apologize which he did, also a goat. I didn't like his early assumptions on 12VHPWR fires/meltdowns either but seeing how 12VHPWR is still a mess, even if he was only half right, he was one of the first to shine a light on the issue. LMG and their unboxing lab are a joke anyways and Linus himself is a businessman, not a geek anymore and it shows. GN is still GOAT, time to order some stuff from the shop I guess!

    • @@jonasduell9953 what I find it funny is how no one seems to notice or care how GN will rightfully criticize Nvidia for their recent products but still make marketing segments for them like when speaking with their thermal engineer. It's all marketing from here because GN is a for-profit group. Inherently, due to the nature of this dark world works, there's always going to be that thin veil of looking after the audience but it's going to cost us.

    • @@BleedForTheWorld I totally understand your point but compare their sponsored ads for e.g. cases, they mention that the case "had scored high" or "received a positive review" during their last tests. Same with visiting an engineer be it Intel or Nvidia. Publicizing how much development, tech and thought goes into modern air cooling solutions is - at least in my books - totally different than mindlessly repeating mandated points of sale off of a teleprompter in a prewritten ad like most channels do. And while those visits, excursions, collaborations with Kingpin, you name it seem advertisement, I actually doubt that GN really has a big benefit. A techquickie LMG style with 2 sponsored and 2 youtube ads would be faster, less effort and more money without ever leaving the studio. And those engineers are good guys, while obviously working for the big corpos, they have no say about market scheming, scalping, false advertisement, unfair behavior. They try to make good stuff, why not give them a platform.

  • This was hilarious and interesting to watch all the way through. Great intro, too, loved it! Thank you guys for your work, and hope you'll have a good 2024! Man, fully agree with you on the motherboard diagnostics rant - honestly, it's a huge problem in general product philosophy and law: we need legal rights to repair, including some sort of guideline on designing products such that they can be properly and easily diagnosed, disassembled, and independently repaired, within reasonable technical possibilities. A simple and easy way to diagnose any variety of boot-up problems should be a minimum for any computer (even tablets and notebooks, honestly).

    • Yes, that should have been added here too, but somehow GN thinks it was simply user error that GPUs went on fire. No, as I told before: if it's too easy to make a mistake, it's bad design, especially when it comes to a huge safety issue and high GPU prices.

      @SirWolf2018@SirWolf20184 ай бұрын

    • ​@@SirWolf2018Give it one more amp and the thing burns to a crisp. The safety limit is 51 Amps at 20°C and the 4090 CAN reach 50 Amps (and higher than 20°C, since it's a GPU) PCI-SIG and Intel are the people who worked on this crap, they honestly deserve all the hate. Nvidia really didn't do anything wrong here by using the standart given to them.
