Best PC Cases for 2024 So Far: New Designs & Round-Up (Computex) Gamers Nexus 2024-06-20 | WE sponsored OURSELVES: Grab a GN PC Case Badge Magnet set! store.gamersnexus.net/products/gn-3d-multi-level-pc-case-magnets-amd-ryzen-intel-gn-logoOr consider grabbing one of our heavy-duty soldering & project mats! store.gamersnexus.net/products/gn-project-soldering-matThis round-up looks at the best PC cases we saw for the rest of 2024 while at Computex. Many of these haven't launched yet, but are launching over the next several months. We plan to review a lot of them with our brand new case testing methodology that we debuted a couple months ago. Mesh and airflow are dominant here, but the biggest two trends in gaming PC cases right now appear to be in the budget market (mostly $60 to $80) and in the "fishtank" PC styling. We saw a lot of reverse blade fans this year, more 140s, and some uncommon fans -- like 170s in the Lian Li 217. Wood has become more commonplace as a case paneling embellishment as well.SUPPORT OUR INDEPENDENT REPORTING! We fund all our own plane tickets, hotels, and transit expenses.

Noctua Has Competition: Vapor Chamber Air Cooler (DeepCool Assassin IV VC) Gamers Nexus 2024-06-06 | Sponsor: Thermal Grizzly Aeronaut on Amazon geni.us/e8Oq & Hydronaut (Amazon) geni.us/hOQrBAbDeepCool established itself in the affordable air cooler market a couple years ago with the AK620 and AK400, and now it's coming out with the DeepCool Assassin IV VC Vision (Vapor Chamber with a display on top). Vapor chamber air coolers have been tried in the past, but they are often prohibitively expensive to bring to market for CPUs. Now that CPU coolers have gone up in price and CPUs themselves have gotten harder to cool, there might be reason to try again -- we'll see when it releases later this year. The Noctua NH-D15 G2 would likely be in direct price competition with this air cooler, as they existing Assassin IV is already about $100.Watch our Noctua NH-D15 G2 coverage here: youtube.com/watch?v=nDDxYlkp-_AWatch our coverage of Tryx's strange liquid cooler: youtube.com/watch?v=Td0XORmSJp8The best way to support our work is through our store: store.gamersnexus.net Like our content?

Impressive Fractal Era 2 & Mood Mini Cases Gamers Nexus 2024-06-05 | Sponsor: Thermal Grizzly Aeronaut on Amazon geni.us/e8Oq & Hydronaut (Amazon) geni.us/hOQrBAbFractal is releasing its new Era 2 & Mood mini-ITX cases, one of which uses aluminum and wood while the other uses a fabric around the exterior shell of the case. The Fractal Mood uses a single 180mm x 38mm Torrent case fan at the top of the chassis tower, leveraging two blocked-off sides and two open sides to guide air straight into the separated GPU and CPU compartments within the case. The Era 2 uses 2x 120mm bottom fans for intake. We have the price and release date for both the Mood and the Era 2 in this video. Both cases use a clever mechanical design that we think is well-executed, giving a "unibody" feel to the outer shell (but not technically) for easy interior access to components. Fractal also has its Scape headset and Refine chair, although we're not spending time covering them.The best way to support our work is through our store: store.gamersnexus.net Like our content?

The Noctua NH-D15 G2's price will be $150 and there will be 3 variations to choose from for that price, named LBC, HBC, and then the general convexity coldplate solution. Noctua has been working on tuning the NF-A14x25 G2 and the cooler coldplate alike, trying to dial against Intel's curvature problems we talked about previously. The company is also working on a thermosiphon which we're told will very likely become a product, but with no current release target or roadmap, and on a Seasonic collaboration PSU.Watch our coldplate design problems video: youtube.com/watch?v=7BMYsMGpyFYWatch our interview with Jakob about fans last year: youtube.com/watch?v=82LZkglNiQ0The best way to support our work is through our store: store.gamersnexus.net Like our content?

Intel Fights Back | Arc Battlemage, Xe2 GPUs, & Changing Hyper-Threading Gamers Nexus 2024-06-04 | Sponsor: Fractal Torrent case on Amazon geni.us/VVBjo Intel's Xe2 GPU architecture has arrived in Lunar Lake, prompting a mini-information dump of the future Battlemage desktop GPU architecture. Lunar Lake mobile and desktop Battlemage will share several core components of design for the GPU side, despite being different product implementations. We're going over the (brief) architectural information that Intel has provided thus far for its Arc GPU successor (from the original Alchemist A750 & A770 lineup). We'll also cover the P-core and E-core architectural basics, such as ditching hyperthreading in some situations.There's a lot more to cover with Intel, but as we are on the other side of the world in Taiwan for Computex 2024, we'll save the rest of the coverage for when we have more capacity for technical detailing.

Scythe also showed us prototype fans for the Shuriken 3 downdraft, low-profile cooler, using cut side to increase performance and decrease air reflections. The company also has a new FUMA 3 REV B cooler coming out soon, using a trimmed plastic housing for better SFF/ITX compatibility in low clearance cases and using a higher pressure mounting kit. This in particular will be useful for Intel Arrow Lake, which rumors currently indicate will be tolerant to higher pressures than current coolers.

This review of the Corsair 6500X and 6500D Airflow PC cases evaluates the build quality and tests for thermals and noise levels. Our testing includes various fan configurations, like side vs. front intake, bottom mounted fans, and more. We benchmark the Corsair 6500D Airflow & 6500X vs. the Hyte Y70 Non-Touch, Antec C8, Montech King 95 Pro, Fractal Torrent, Lian Li O11D, and more.

NVIDIA Has Overrun the Market Gamers Nexus 2024-05-22 | Sponsor: Thermal Grizzly Kryosheets geni.us/53ArNb and Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut Paste (Amazon - geni.us/Fsray )NVIDIA is absolutely everywhere. They've flooded-out competition in the gaming space for years, and we wouldn't be surprised if NVIDIA applies a similar total market assault to AI or other sectors. Today though, we're focusing on how NVIDIA has overrun AMD (and, to a less observable extent, of course Intel Arc) in the gaming GPU business. #NVDA has been stretching some of its launch timelines and overlapping its GPU generations more lately, and we think they might be using the prior generation to fulfill the low-end market for the current options. This video makes a number of judgment calls on analyzing data over about 14 years for NVIDIA vs. AMD launches, embargo dates, and prices. We cannot perfectly encapsulate everything because it requires subjectivity to determine which cards qualify for analysis, but we think this gives a good overall picture.Supoprt our work!

We have now finalized our methodology with changes from our Hype and Fractal North XL reviews. Now, our new data set is used to review the Hyte Y70 Non-Touch case (the same as the Hyte Y70 Touch, but without the expensive screen). This follows our prior reviews of Hyte's Y60 -- which created a new case style -- and its Y40, which disappointed us. We're back now to see how its Y70 high-end gaming PC case does. Alternatives to the Hyte Y70 and Y60 include the Antec C8 ARGB (not out yet, but the C8 is), Lian Li O11D Evo and Evo XL, Corsair's 6500 series (review coming soon), and non-dual-chamber cases like the Fractal Torrent.Watch our Fractal North XL review that kicked off the new testing!

ASUS Says Were Confused Gamers Nexus 2024-05-18 | Sponsor: Get 10% off Squarespace purchases (geni.us/BqEpf)SUPPORT INDEPENDENT REPORTING: Grab one of our Limited Edition CyberSkeleton foil T-shirts, now with a gold and blue coloring: store.gamersnexus.net/products/limited-edition-foil-cyberskeleton2-cotton-tshirtASUS responded -- again -- to our coverage. The last time they did this was the same day last year, but for motherboards. This time, ASUS has responded about its warranty process in general. Unfortunately, the company has, we think, misrepresented the timeline and accused its customers of being "confused" in a tonedeaf response. Rather than just post the improvement plan, the company had to take shots at its own customers in the process. This video marks a change for our coverage of ASUS: We are now seeking to provide deeper consumer purchasing advice, such as discussion of legal rights as consumers, and begin detailing policies that protect consumers. In this episode, we're joined by attorney Vincent Agosta to talk about the legal side of warranty coverage. In the next episode in this series, we'll be speaking with Nathan Proctor of PIRG Right to Repair on recommendation of Louis Rossmann to talk in great depth about how consumers can protect themselves. That'll include right to repair discussion as well, which is an adjacent topic.Find our discussion with ASUS: youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ZoCYXmF0QWatch our first installment in this series: youtube.com/watch?v=7pMrssIrKcYHas a PC hardware company scammed you?

Spoiler alert: They're still anti-consumer. We sent our ASUS ROG Ally Z1 Extreme in for warranty repair for issues with the left joystick ("drift"). The device also had a broken microSD card. ASUS then pointed to the world's tiniest scratch and tried to charge us $200 for it under threat of sending back a disassembled device if we didn't pay within 5 days. It felt like extortion.

We're focusing our efforts entirely on coldplate shape today to isolate variables -- maybe we can bin heatpipes in the future. This uses a 3D laser scanner to evaluate the surface curvature of an Intel and AMD IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader) when clamped under the ILM (Independent Loading Mechanism) force for the CPU socket. It's an engineering experiment for fun with some science mixed in, but maybe this can help guide CPU cooler design in the future. For this testing, we're using the Scythe FUMA 3 air coolers (successor to the famous FUMA 2). We were originally inspired to do this at Computex last year, where we met with Scythe to discuss the possibilities of a better coldplate. Arctic's Liquid Freezer III this year brought the topic up again, and now it's back.

A Better Computer Fan - Sometimes: Cross-Flow Meshless AIO Case Benchmarks & Review Gamers Nexus 2024-04-30 | SUPPORT OUR EDUCATIONAL CONTENT: Buy a BRAND NEW Copper-Plated Mule Mug on our store - store.gamersnexus.net/products/gn-copper-plated-stainless-steel-mule-mug-thermal-conductivity-of-copperConsider grabbing one of our 3D metal emblem pint glasses to go with it: store.gamersnexus.net/products/gn-3d-emblem-glassesThis video is exciting for us: We put some heavy work into new educational animations to explain abstract or challenging topics, like airflow through a cross-flow fan vs. axial vs. blower. The Meshless AIO mini-ITX case is a new computer case on the market with a unique thermal solution, using a cross-flow cylindrical fan rather than traditional computer fans. This can be the best fan for the job when in a cramped space, but requires the entire solution to be built ground-up around the fan. This video will go in-depth with airflow, thermals and temperature testing results, and will feature an animation to educate on how these bizarre (and relatively new, at just 131 years old) fans work. This content also provides a detailed review of the SFF (Small Form Factor) Meshless AIO case.

We dug into the story and came into contact with now over a dozen people, at time of publishing, who verified various versions of this report. We have collected spreadsheets, cost sheets, chat logs, screenshots of emails and messages, contracts, and tax status information painting a picture of a company driven into the ground by a CEO put in place by the founder. The story is bleak, and we think EK's only chance at recovery is IMMEDIATE rectification followed by swift internal action to correct company culture, behavior, and handling of money. EK's founder must now bear the difficult burden of righting his ship, but at this time, it is unclear how much the founder might be implicated in all of this.EK has taken legal action against some who have spoken out.

The MSI Claw is a Mess: Gaming Handheld Cant Compete | Review & Benchmarks Gamers Nexus 2024-04-14 | Sponsor: Lian Li O11D Evo RGB on Amazon geni.us/B3ODThe MSI Claw A1M is a mystery of a handheld gaming device: We can't figure out why they'd make it the way they did. Maybe there's Intel marketing fund involved, but either way, it's just not competitive at its $800 -- or even $700 -- price point against the competition. Compared to the ASUS ROG Ally Z1 Extreme, Z1 Non-Extreme, Lenovo Legion Go, and Steam Deck LCD & OLED, the Claw is hamstrung in either value or performance, and often both. This benchmark looks at some of the best handheld gaming PCs right now, and almost all of those feature AMD's Z1 Extreme or 7840U (or 8840U) variants, which are mostly the same parts. The MSI Claw stands apart for silicon variety with an Intel Ultra solution, like the 155H in ours, but it has to be good to be worth that variety.The best way to support our work is through our store: store.gamersnexus.net Like our content?

The Greatest GPU of All Time: NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti & GTX 1080 2024 Revisit & History Gamers Nexus 2024-04-06 | Sponsor: Montech King 95 Pro on Amazon geni.us/C5P2The NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti is the Greatest GPU of All Time thanks to a mix of value, performance, and timing on a market teeming with excellent choices. It was an era when the AMD RX 580 was largely competing in the mid-range with the GTX 1060, Vega hadn't yet launched, and Intel Arc didn't even exist as a thought in anyone's mind. In this 2024 revisit & benchmark of the GTX 1080 Ti & GTX 1080 (non-Ti), we're looking at performance today and how it compares to modern graphics cards. Upgrades on the NVIDIA side might include the RTX 4070 Ti Super or RTX 4070 Super if spending less, or maybe an RTX 4080 Super for more; on the AMD side, that is more likely an RX 7900 XT or RX 7900 XTX, or possibly the "new" GRE (with its global launch). The GTX 1080 Ti and 1080 Pascal architecture GPUs can't reasonably handle real-time ray tracing, so obviously those charts are absent. A modern card is effectively infinitely better. But for rasterization, they still hang in there.This video gives some of the history and some personal thoughts, opinions, and memories on the Pascal era.The best way to support our work is through our store: store.gamersnexus.netLike our content?

Entire Case Company Built on Literal Theft Gamers Nexus 2024-03-30 | Sponsor: Arctic Liquid Freezer III on Amazon - geni.us/5N1BRr9Today we're "reviewing" the GameMAX "Hype," which DEFINITELY ISN'T inspired by a Hyte Y60. The Hype case is anywhere from $100 to $200, depending on where and when you look, and has poorly copied nearly every aspect of the Hyte Y60. We haven't seen a ripoff this egregious previously, and that's because even the product page has literal copied & pasted text from real Hyte's product pages. This is part of our new case testing methodology that we debuted for 2024. You can learn some basics in our Fractal North XL review below.We previously reviewed & benchmarked the Hyte Y60 here: youtube.com/watch?v=QNfsG-Ai2PA -- comparatively, it seems as if the Hype is a step beyond a Hyte clone.Fractal North XL review & debut of new case methodology: youtube.com/watch?v=aQHKCjuYTVQThe best way to support our work is through our store: store.gamersnexus.net Like our content?

Dragons Dogma 2 is a Mess: GPU & CPU Benchmarks, Bottlenecks, & Crashes Gamers Nexus 2024-03-25 | Sponsor: Thermaltake Tower 300 mATX Case on Amazon geni.us/WNABU4Dragon's Dogma 2 came out to critical reception, with overwhelmingly negative Steam reviews relating to performance, crashes, microtransactions and DLC, and optimization. We're testing the CPU and GPU performance behavior and scaling in Dragon's Dogma 2, looking at how bottlenecks occur and which devices they impact the most. Testing includes CPUs like the 14900K vs. 7800X3D, 14600K, 2600X, 5600X, 12600K, 5800X3D, and more. We also tested on the RTX 4090 with a few spots of the 4070 Ti Super and RTX 4060 (before committing to a CPU comparison instead of GPUs). Testing looks at some of the best CPUs in 2024 for Dragon's Dogma 2 performance in heavy CPU load areas.Grab one of our 3D metal emblem pint glasses! store.gamersnexus.net/products/gn-3d-emblem-glassesOr a PC building Modmat, Solder Mat, or shirt! store.gamersnexus.net Learn about our bottleneck testing metrics like GPU Busy: youtube.com/watch?v=C_RO8bJop8o Like our content?
