PC Perspective Mailbag #61 – Possibly Better Than a Lump of Coal

We’re back with our Q&A Mailbag series. To ask a question for a future episode, leave a comment on this article, at the video over on YouTube, or in our Discord community. Questions 01:21 – What is/was “that piece” of computer hardware that you kept in your system until driver support ended or it finally went to silicon heaven, and why? 02:43 – What do you think of “high” frame rate live video/movies? I still wish it would happen and people would stop being so stubborn about it because they’re “weirded out” by it because of the standards we’ve had for so long. I want our displays and our content to be windows, damnit! 04:52 – I bought a Ryzen 7 1700X and X370 motherboard when they were first released partially because of the promised upgrade path. AMD has really delivered on AM4 upgrades. Recently MicroCenter had the 2700x for $130, but I missed the sale. My question – do you think the 8-core Ryzen 3000 parts will be similarly discounted next year? Is a discount less likely because Zen 2 is TSMC 7 nm instead of a less popular GloFo 12 nm for Zen+? A cheap 2700x is tempting, but if the 3000-series prices come down next year I may hold out rather than doing multiple upgrades. I primarily game, but next year’s Xbox and PS5 may be faster than the 1700X which could increase requirements for future games. 07:26 – Was Intel’s 7400-series Xeons a response to the mult-icore AMD Opterons in the multi-CPU multi-core enterprise space? 09:21 – Can you guys recommend a cheap-but-good RAM kit (or several) for Ryzen 3000? 11:45 – I’m spec’ing out a Mini-ITX build for gaming (no streaming, Plex, etc.) and looking at either the 9600K or 9700K. The latter has 2 more cores, and a slightly higher boost clock (though a slightly slower base clock if that matters). Other than the 2 core difference (and minor boost clock difference), is there anything that makes the 9700K faster than the 9600K? Maybe put another way: is there anything about an

PC Perspective Podcast #598 – RTX 3090 Launch! Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4, Microsoft buys Bethesda, and so much more!

Join us this week for another technology discussion on the topics that some people really really want to know more about! Nvidia launch roughness continues with limited 3090 availability. Samsung is making a really fast PCIe 4 SSD – but the NAND man! AMD continues with their launching of rumors. ARM making servers – good ones – all on their own, thank you very much. Plus Microsoft buys Bethesda, and everyone feels fine. And Josh flexes his very own 3080. It looked heavy. Also there’s a lurking spatula. Finally, our Patreon members get the uncut version with an after-the-show-Show visit from former PCPer storage editor: Allyn M. That version is literally the “3 Hour Tour” of Podcasts however.

PC Perspective Podcast #599 – RTX Capacitor Gate? Ryzen 7 Leaks, Sabrent QLC Gen4, Spaaace games, and more!

Join us this week for a virtual gathering around the high refresh rate monitor and warming our hands with graphics card exhaust. Ahhhh….. On this show, we go over Nvidia’s 3080 / 3090 “capacitor-gate” and what seems like a software fix, an alleged Ryzen 7 5800X leak & upcoming AGESA patches, QLC nand invades the PCIe Gen4 SSD space, we discuss the experience ARS had with an early access Xbox Series X and “1000” older titles, early look at a secure USB drive and SPAAACE Combat Games! There is a burger update, and your screen is briefly edible during that sequence. Also: Bad X300 Drive! Bad Drive! See what you did? Plus more if you can possibly stand it.

Nyet! We’re not done! We’ve included the aftershow here, with maybe some special OG PCPer guests! Show #600! Wooooohooo! Yeah. Despite tremendous pressure to make the show entirely about the upcoming Zen 3 release, we buck the trends and do our own #600 show. (Pssst, see special programming note below). Also if you are paying close attention, there is a cute puppy. WARNING! Not all PCPer shows or events will include a cute puppy. PROGRAMMING NOTE: This was recorded the night before AMD’s event, and we have a separate video with Ryzen 5000 Series discussion – so go there if you need a nice “fireside” chat.

PC Perspective Podcast #602 – Intel Exits NAND Storage, Radeon 6K, Google Kills Again and More!

In every long running series, there’s usually another episode. Sometimes it’s good. Sometimes, it gets taken out behind the woodshed and edited into acceptability. On the menu tonight, we’re serving up the details on Intel exiting NAND in many forms, Google exiting another of their product lines (thanks for beta testing!), Silicon Motion is firmly in the PCIe 4.0 NVME game, Radeon GPU Rumors are hot, high frame-rate gaming, Nvidia moves more production over to TSMC 7nm, and we go over a nice AIRFLOW case from Corsair: the 4000D! Warning! You will become hungry during the hamburger sequence. Don’t skip, it’s Oscars material. Other Note: Ignore the occasional appearance, in the classic inadvertent popping out “CNN-like” manner, of the Zotac 1x GPU. You’ll know when the worst of it happens because Josh spends at least 30 seconds clinically dead. Please recall that our Patreon members get the uncut #602 Podcast filled with much arm waving hilarity with a special after-after show (yeah, 2x) short video sequence.

PC Perspective Podcast #603 – Radeon RX 6000 Event Talk, RTX 3070 Review, Nvidia Reflex & More!

The GPUs just keep coming, and this week’s turn is (mostly) AMD. Their live event to detail the upcoming RX 6000 series was earlier in the day, perfect timing. On the docket this evening we recap the AMD live event, and examine the details of the multiple RX 6000 GPU announcements, seemingly rivaling and topping(!) the recent performance levels set by Nvidia’s 30 series. Impressive, and we’re looking forward to testing these new cards. Swerve over to the AMD Xilinx acquisition and AMD’s great quarter – some might say it was Epyc. Har! Also in this show: Ryzen & RTX in the same laptop, it can happen with Asus — Cyberpunk 2077 Delay!? — Nvidia Reflex isn’t talked about much yet, but it’s interesting! Warning!

AMD is totally killing it lately with their CPUs and we discuss the heck of them right from the start. Ok, that’s not totally true – there’s a burger update and then Ryzen 5000 series discussion. We touch on the latest benchmarks from the AMD RX6k series, overclocking the 3070 FE to exceed the 2080ti (as if you have one), we dig on the Raspberry Pi in a keyboard and we go over the photography from the Fractal Design Meshify 2 review and talk about the case itself! There’s plenty of time spent on the new Apple M1 SoC architecture and other wiiiiide ranging discussions, but you probably knew that. It’s a long show, get a beverage. Warning!

Welcome to the oversized year end podcast where we bid 2020 a buh-bye. Please welcome special guests Jim Tanous and Kent Burgess as well! In fact, this is our Christmas special and New Years show all action packed into one show. We even dressed up, and the lumberjack’d flannel worn by the in-imitable JT was simply stunning. Later the Festivus Airing of Grievances happened, a magical almost 3 hours in uncut raw form. It’s the “top” stories of the year, sprinkled with a few other newsy topics of the week such as using Chkdsk on SSDs, mini PCs (including our review of the Azulle Byte4), 6800XT Rage Mode discussion, Intel could be pressured to use external fabs and our review of the Imovr standing desk + so much more. Remember those stories from early in the year that woke you or made you mad? Like the 5600XT firmware situation, PCIe 4.0 on 400 series boards, Capacitor gate, speculative execution bugs, Google dropping products and finishing up with the obvious supply chain problems around – well – pretty much everything.

Podcast #611 – CES 2021 News stories – AMD, Intel, Nvidia, Samsung, Thermaltake + More!

Join us this week for a look back at a somewhat underwhelming CES 2021. The staff looks at some highlights including news from AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA, and some other topics outlined in the timestamps below. Fear not, Sebastian does rejoin the show after about 5 minutes. However, there is a general consensus that Kent is likely better looking based on what people write in the comments anyway. We do the run down on a few newsy CES 2021 items, and I’ll copy this from the email because it was just that good: The Burger Update – because. AMD makes snooze, I mean news Intel CPUs – yes, they’ll have better ones! Intel CEO – yes, they’ll have a different one! Nvidia Gaming Event and GPU updates. What’s MSRP again?

Podcast #612 – News Happens! AMD SAM, Corsair 5000D & LIVA Q1D Reviews, Thermaltake Tower, TSMC 3nm, PC Sales! + More!

With no big launches to speak of, there’s a few news items from CES 2021 to talk about plus a few fresh items! Such as how to get AMD SAM working, TSMC baking chips at 3nm, PC Sales are huge, and Intel Rocketlake-S pricing is leaked. We’ve got the Corsair 5000D airflow and very mini LIVA Q1D reviews to go over. Plus Nvidia releases a new Pascal card (GT 1010) and Samsung has got an updated 870 EVO SSD! Finally, Jeremy is off on his pub tour for the evening, but we did not panic. Jim graciously stepped back in for the evening show, filling in 4th square. Josh does the burger thing, and wonders why he does not have a brightly colored microphone. We would welcome your support of the show, our live performance art if you will.

Podcast #613 – AMD Earned great $$ but So did Scalpers! RTX 30 Series Laptops, Plex Arcade, and MS needs your $ – Plus More!

Welcome to Wednesday, and we are all so thankful it only happens once each week! Thanks for sharing it with us, where we talk about the latest tech news we found interesting enough to … well, talk about. AMD did really well in $$ for 2020, but so did the Zen 3 scalper market! RTX 30 laptops are coming, but what’s really going to be inside? It varies. Plex has an officially gaming subscription, but probably don’t buy it. Microsoft has a gaming subscription with Live also, and wanted you to pay more for it! Finally check out were we review the reviewer on the latest DIY DROP keyboard, the Carina. Josh does the burger thing, and details that the show is basically all “Meat and Tail” tonight. He’s probably right. We would welcome your support of the show, our live performance art if you will.

Podcast #617 – RTX 3060, Katar Pro XT, Fractal Meshify 2 Compact Reviews and Nvidia mining gimp plus so much more

Say it three times and we shall appear: Beetlecast! Beetlecast! Beetlecast! (you kinda had to be there) We start it off with burgers and end with quite a lot of purple mood lighting. It’s gaming fast purple mood lighting, for sure though. In between we somehow find time to discuss the latest GPU from Nvidia and our review of the RTX 3060, and what Nvidia is doing to deter mining on it. Other reviews include a Corsair mouse mat (huge) and their Katar Pro XT (inexpensive and good), and the newest case from Fractal Design, (an excellent choice) Meshify 2 Compact. Also up for discussion points are how AMD is investigating poor USB behavior on X570, Apple M1’s burning through their SSDs maybe, better Firefox cookie security, Nvidia’s strong financials, and Diablo is going full MMO (never go full MMO?).

This shows ends with talk of an “iMac” on Mars (PowerPC 750 really) and how Aliens themed games have not always been good. The news before those bits though included our take on the latest GPU from AMD, the 6700XT, and the availability of the DIY Threadripper PRO Processor. Intel is also still selling NAND based storage with the release of the 670p – I mean didn’t they sell that? Brief update on their DG2 GPU and how you can no longer get your overclocked Intel CPU warranty repair insurance from them. So sad.

Also, thank you Kent for joining us this evening to discuss his review of the Thermaltake View 51 and pepper the show the uncommon sense! Other topics include the early reviews for the 11700k, Microsoft finishes buying Bethesda, the Solarwinds hack is worse and funnier in a way, and the RTX 3070 is without a label of distinction at 80 watts, 105 or desktop power!

Warning: The burger this week is Glazed & Confused. Warning 2: The Fractal PSU review & testing is done by slowly learning what practical information we can extract. This might help as a reference to the mind set In other news Nvidia struggles to continue their acquisition of ARM, $12B just wasn’t enough for Discord, Valve finally patches a really serious security flaw in Steam, and we review a headphone amp that tries to look like it’s a bit more then it appears.

Podcast #626 – RTX 3080ti rumors, ARM Tech Day2!, AMD Thriving, Zen 5 Ryzen 8000, eGPU Speed, Thermaltake Cooling + MoRe!

ARM tech day, rejoice! We discuss how advances in ARM are leading X86 in some areas, and wonder about the future. AMD is doing really well financially due to their technical achievements, and rumors of their upcoming Zen 5, code named Strix Point. Speaking of rumors, here comes the 3080ti? Probably yeah. Also how do eGPUs scale or do they? What does AMD do with “failed” XBOX boards, and just how “TOUGH” are Thermaltake’s new CPU air coolers? Picks of the week and reviews to round everything out: EPOS H3 gaming headset, a JoshTEKK review on the IcyDock Dual-bay NVMe enclosure and even an open source VR OS.

Cinco de Mayo! We always find something to celebrate here on the PCPer tech extravaganza podcast. On the show this week are Intel rumors we really can’t talk about, with some big.LITTLE news too, Windows store still sells games it seems, some RETRO talk, RTX does seem to add some features to certain games now, DRM is terrible – even on a dishwasher, and the QUEST for privacy. Oh, AMD is also telling Asrock no more Zen 3 for X370 boards, and the Core i7 vs everything else. There’s a bunch more mixed in with threats to drink very old tequila, a “burger” of sorts, and techno-banter – so come on along for the ride! Thanks again to all of our very helpful Patreon members.

Podcast #629 – Nvidia LHR GPUs, Modular Laptop, Pure Rock Slim 2 Cooler, Cherry KB & Mouse + More!

Another show in the bag! Episode #629 was notable for it’s complete lack of drama and relatively smooth running nature. I blame Kent. Nvidia is releasing the Low Hash Rate GPUs, but not all of them will be and not all will be labeled as such. Intel would like to switch all your PSUs over to 12 Volt Only, and AMD is trying to XT all the things. There’s rumors of a XT CPU variant, and there’s also some AMD PCI driver coding issues on older CPUs, and Microsoft is offering audio narration for locations in Flight Sim – kinda cool. Also, we have reviews of one of the neatest little CPU coolers for very little money, and super quiet keyboard and mouse from Cherry. Yes, the ‘MX’ key switch people. And more! Like our world famous Josh burger review – don’t miss that, eh? Stay for the Carl Weathers joke too. Later!
