$90 Fractal Pop 2 Vision Case Review & Benchmarks: Cable Management, Thermals, Build Quality

Sponsor: ID-Cooling Frozn A720 Black on Amazon https://geni.us/VDnou4Y Fractal today is launching its Pop 2 Vision gaming PC case at $90 and $100 models, making it one of the cheapest cases we've seen this year. The Pop 2 Vision includes 4 fans, targets the more affordable end of the case market, and follows-up on the Fractal Pop Air that we previously reviewed positively. For this review and benchmarks, we look at thermal performance, cable management, build quality, and strategy as case companies contend with lower sales volume due to DRAM pricing.

House Fires Destroyed 2 Subscriber PCs | Rebuilding & Inspecting the Remains

SUPPORT US with code PUCKGAMERSNEXUS for 10% off the GN store. Grab a Wireframe V2 Mouse Mat https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/gn-wireframe-v2-mouse-mat or a Microslop T-Shirt https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/microslop-parody-t-shirt In this video, we rebuild two gaming PCs that we found on reddit -- both victims of (unrelated) housefires. The cause of one of the two fires was purely electrical, with a rodent that had chewed through electrical wiring in the attic. Unfortunately, both users lost most of their belongings in the fires (though no people were harmed), and that included gaming PCs. We just rebuilt them, upgrading both users' CPUs and flying in Rob Teller, formerly of Hyte, to give us stories of the industry while assisting in the rebuild process. Having your replacement PC built by the designer of the very case it's in is a rarity. During the process, we dissect the fire damage. Watch the time we rebuilt a user's PC that was destroyed in a hurricane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lDSdLkMC-8 And the prior time we replaced a housefire PC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byxzkRYUHpc The best way to support our work is through our store: https://store.gamersnexus.net/ Like our content?

DO NOT BUY: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 CPU Review & Benchmarks | 24 Charts in 24 Hours

Sponsor: Arctic MX-7 Thermal Paste on Amazon https://geni.us/WbHJ This review of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 CPU includes benchmarks and comparisons vs. the 9950X3D, 9950X (non-3D), 9800X3D and 9850X3D, and Intel's 270K Plus, alongside about 25-30 other CPUs at various points. In 24 hours, we put together 24 benchmark charts for the 9950X3D2 performance testing. The CPU, while it does perform well, is simply too expensive at $900 when considering it rarely does much of anything (if anything at all) to improve performance. We had one outlier in the results, but other than the OpenFOAM result, everything else is typically 0 to 6% improved (with sometimes no movement at all). Watch our Intel 270K Plus CPU review. We were overall positive on the CPU: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWbThC2Oys0 And the 250K Plus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeweNYELwkY Find @Hardwareunboxed here! https://www.youtube.com/@Hardwareunboxed The best way to support our work is through our store: https://store.gamersnexus.net/ Like our content?

Like our Microslop T-Shirt https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/microslop-parody-t-shirt and our Wireframe V2 Mouse Mat https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/gn-wireframe-v2-mouse-mat AMD For months, AMD has refused to respond to GamersNexus' queries relating to the company's driver support or abandonment of actively sold products (like the Z1 Extreme), political donations, seemingly anti-consumer lobbying efforts that bulldoze peoples' rights, and other topics relating to both AMD's hardware and AMD's backroom games it's playing with megacorporations and government agencies. Now, AMD has decided not to sample GamersNexus for the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 CPU reviews, suspiciously following a blackout period of communications (again, including pro-consumer driver support questions) and our prior coverage of AMD's descent into what we think is corruption.

When AMD Forced NVIDIA to Slash Prices | ATi HD 4870 X2 Prototype

Sponsor: ID-Cooling Frozn A720 Black on Amazon https://geni.us/VDnou4Y A viewer sold us his rare Engineering Sample AMD ATi HD 4870 X2 (RV770 / RV700 codename GPUs) to give us a unique insight into a past era. The launch of this GPU marked an upset for NVIDIA, when AMD's pressure -- as widely reported by Anandtech and Tech Report of the time -- caused NVIDIA to drop prices; however, this also preceded the 2008 financial crisis, putting AMD in a tricky position so soon after its ATi acquisition. Although we struggled to get the engineering sample to fully function beyond booting, we used the opportunity to dismantle it, look at the hardware, and talk history.

We previously called the program an "evil, predatory scam," and found several pieces of evidence that we believed established false advertising, misleading promotional materials, bait-and-switch tactics, and marketing towards children. Now, NZXT and Fragile have agreed in a preliminary settlement (pending Judge approval) to pay $3,450,000 in damages, restitution, debt forgiveness, and PC retention costs to the approximately 20,000 people harmed by NZXT's and Fragile's actions.
