JayzTwoCents Didn't Delete Our Comment

Turns out it was the YT spam filter that caught our comment, Jay has provided evidence of this and I've apologised multiple times. I still stand by everything I said in the video that wasn't about Jay deleting the comment, but I was wrong about the accusation so I've deleted the video. We will discuss this further tomorrow on the livestream.

Shed Update [Finally]

Take 2 on the AMD boost clock talks

I didn't make a few points clear enough in the last video so hopefully this one is better ;)

BTS AMD Boost Clock Talk

Today AMD announced on Twitter that they have identified an issue in their firmware that reduces boost frequency in some situations and that they will address it with an update soon. So I talk about that here and give a little more insight into our own video on the subject.

Suspected Dud Ryzen 3000 CPUs

BTW if you live in Australia and you have a Ryzen 3600, 3600X or 3700X that doesn't boost the way you think it should I'd like to buy if off you (for the retail price so you can get another and I can test it). Message me privately if you have a dud ;)

Ryzen Single-Core Boost Issue

Next week I'm going to test a large number of AM4 motherboards to investigate the claimed boost clock issues of the 3rd Gen Ryzen CPUs. I've not seen this issue on any of the boards I've tested with (at least when I've looked) but quite a few of you have reported issues in the Discord chat. Please comment below if you're having an issue, make sure to note the CPU and motherboard used.

I have a number of retail CPUs as well and all behave as expected.

5700 XT vs. 2070 Super or 2060 Super?

I probably should have lead with this, are you more interested in seeing the 5700 XT battle the 2070 Super head to head or the 2060 Super.


Edit: can't fix the typo for the first poll result, 2020 = 2060 ;)
