Failures listed on this page are those which have been validated independently by the GamersNexus team. We gamersnexus not list component failures not found by our team, gamersnexus.

This site is to help keep consumers abreast of safety and reliability issues we discover with computer hardware and will be updated when not if we find more. Find the list of independently verified PC Hardware Failures that we maintain here. Some people have Failure Analysis labs. If a company makes a product that might catastrophically fail, you can rest assured that it will probably find its way to us. Anything that can go wrong for a product on its way to the GN Lab will go wrong. It finds us. Our testing lab currently features the following in-operation test stations , with more coming online each year.

Gamers Nexus is a YouTube channel and website fronted by Steve Burke, which offers almost exhaustingly in-depth reviews of computer hardware, as well as news updates of new hardware goings on in the industry. Gamers Nexus contains examples of: Analysis Channel : Probably one of the computer hardware space's most exhaustive possible right now. Author Appeal : The channel prefers to review ATX form factor cases, with only specific exceptions that interest the company coming into the rotation as special interest pieces. Steve's big into downhill mountain-biking, and did an entire video going down a trail, as well as sharply criticizing AMD's promotional mountain bike. Steve was clearly overjoyed and starstruck to be given the opportunity to build a custom PC for the metal band Trivium. Berserk Button : Certain short-sighted design trends will always earn a rant from GN: In the late s it was "smart" devices and software which pointlessly bloated the computer. PC cases that obstruct airflow, especially those which have fans on the front which are blocked by glass panels, completely negating the point of the fans being there in the first place except for decoration. Reached its nadir with the Abkoncore Ramesses , which had 12 fans of which less than half had any access to air at all. Incorrectly oriented AIO radiators, since the wrong placement will eventually damage the component and require a pricey replacement or repair. What especially irks Steve is a trend in case manufacturers creating promotional material with radiators mounted incorrectly, which can cause buyers to make the same mistake with their personal builds. As Gigabyte and NZXT found out to their cost, Gamers Nexus does not respond kindly to legitimate safety concerns with products being responded to with willful ignorance. They've been recently quite critical about the state of Graphics Card performance year-over-year, especially in the 's realizing that while yes, they are hard to come by, AMD and Nvidia are effectively destroying the ability for people to even access one of the more vital parts of completing their computers.

Pre-built computers that use proprietary, gamersnexus, incompatible gamersnexus, on the basis that they can't then be upgraded and are as such destined to eventually be disposed of and become "e-waste".

Making a new generation of product is hard. It requires years of development, engineering feats amounting in new CPU architectures, and sometimes it even needs new process nodes. Out of the recently released K , K , and K, the latter represents the only processor in the lineup of 3 that is remotely interesting. It climbs from an 8 P-core, 8 E-core, thread configuration to an 8 P-core, 12 E-core, and thread configuration. Those extra E-cores will mostly be useful in fully threaded applications like Blender, but will be of limited usefulness in games. Frequency also climbs: Intel says its max turbo frequency is now 5. Likewise, E-core turbo has climbed MHz. The base clock is the same, however. Cache has also increased which makes sense, since the core count increased.

The first GamersNexus tear-down toolkit took a year of development to manufacture, with that time going into tuning and dialing-in tool quality for long service life. These tools are made out of a CRV steel Chromium-Vanadium for strength, with the two hex heads made of A3 steel to allow our customization. This Tear-Down Toolkit now includes a 7-year warranty , applied retroactively to all owners and going forward. Learn more here. Additional features and information detailed below. Includes extensive warranty detailed here. This required an entirely new mold that was expensive, but worth it to cut-down on the single-use bags, and additionally beneficial to longevity and endurance of the tool labels, shown below:. The rubberized handle ensures good grip for the user and also has hanger holes to rest the tools on a pegboard.

Compassionate Critic : Ultimately, what their style boils down to: They are gamers and PC enthusiasts at heart and understand the daunting task of trying to get into the DIY-PC space from the opposite side of the equation. Reason for update: Added Lian Li Galahad failures and details. Stance on Co-Branded Products. Possible change to spec to increase tolerance Link Sign Up. Beware the Nice Ones : The channel doesn't hold back on criticism but makes a point of being evenkeeled and polite. Gigabyte PSU Explosions. The absence of a rating does not mean absence of a fault. Thanks, Steve. CPU Test Benches. Moderate Severity also indicates a possible lower likelihood of the failure to occur, or at least a prolonged timeline over which it may occur Moderate Severity will also be used in cases where User Error is determined to be a driving cause of an otherwise higher severity failure. Degradation of CPU quality 3.

This is another of our GN Mega Charts series! The other is to focus the discussion or viewer in the short time a chart is on screen.

Possible fire 3. Possible damage to laptop TBD Replace units, both failed and working. CPU Test Benches. You can find photos of our main lab below. We respect your privacy. Possible burns 3. Note that some of these topics have had several videos entered by our team, so we will begin building playlists over time for each issue. Originally provided insufficient plastic screws. We may revise this later if more fail. Steve's big into downhill mountain-biking, and did an entire video going down a trail, as well as sharply criticizing AMD's promotional mountain bike. Component death Yes 1. A poor performing or bad value product would just be covered in the review. We maintain this list because we recognize that YouTube, despite being an amazing platform, is difficult to navigate as issues age. Moderate Severity will also be used in cases where User Error is determined to be a driving cause of an otherwise higher severity failure.
