GN Extras | When Parts Don't Die (We Tried to Kill ASUS' Motherboards) @gnextras | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
This video talks about the challenge we face on long-term testing projects -- namely, projects where we need a part to die in order to investigate a public concern about component quality. We had these boards in testing for nearly half a year, but ultimately tore it all down so we could reclaim the space. We spent about $1400-$1500 on motherboards, a lot of money on staff time, and ultimately, the ASUS Z690 Hero motherboards simply didn't die from the flipped cap issue. That doesn't mean they WON'T die, or that it's not a problem, but we simply couldn't recreate it. That's the challenge with defects that don't trigger 100% of the time on a reliable event.
BTW, we just posted a big Patreon written blog update on our plans for this year! patreon.com/posts/76702217?pr=true
