NZXT Bait & Switch on PCIe Riser Replacement: Just Do the Right Thing
TLDW:
- NZXT H1 had faulty PCI-e Riser cables that caught on fire
-After backlash from GN and everyone else, NZXT finally did a recall that gave customers an option of repair or refund
- NZXT sent Steve the fixed Riser cable which was redesigned and very high quality so Steve reviewed it and gave NZXT a Thumbs up
- Turns out NZXT is shipping two different Riser cables, one that him and other media got, and another that some of his viewers got which was the original Riser cable that was modified with the fix. While that one looks like it won't light on fire, the quality isn't as high as the one that was shipped to GN and other media outlets and they were under the impression that everyone would get the high quality one.
- Suffices to say, don't buy NZXT products
SSD Killer? We Tested Chia Cryptocurrency Farming for one Week
He does quite a good amount of testing and explains how Chia works and etc. One plot = 1.1 TB written to the SSD. After one week of plotting, his MP600 SSD has 50 TB written. Yea, this thing will kill a lot of the lower tier SSDs. He also tried a RAM Disk as RAM can do effectively infinite reads/writes but a minimum plot requires 250GB+ so you would need to get a 512GB of RAM for 1 plot. And it turns out that it's only 10% faster.
