Gigabyte Launches UD1000GM PCIE 5.0 Power Supply

That's a generous assessment. More like "every PSU of a specific range of models has a severe design flaw that causes them to blow up due to misconfigured OPP". The flaw is one thing though, it's their response to it that has cemented people's opinions of them: rather than going "oh, crap, our bad, have a refund, we'll be recycling all of these"

Feel free to inform the guy with the long hair, him to read first the PSU testing device User Manual.
Because in the end of the day, he is not qualifying receiving answers from REAL electronic engineers.
Neither any REAL electrician engineer, or industrial one, he is obligated to teach basics, at YouTube Bloggers.

Gigabyte aren't saints but neither devils.
I am not going to contribute any further, so this full of Helium balloon to get larger.

At my avatar, I am using my real face, because I am not anonymous.
All my point of views they are signed with ink too.

Wait, what? Have I said that Gigabyte are "devils"? I said they messed up their reputation by grossly mishandling what could otherwise have been a relatively routine manufacturing fuckup. They made their own bed by not just accepting that these products were inherently flawed and should never have been put on sale.

Also, about those last two lines ... what? Who cares? What's the point your'e trying to make? Last I checked, this discussion wasn't about you.

As for the first, while there are absolutely far more qualified PSU test engineers out there than Patrick at GN, he's still plenty qualified in this case. While they didn't actually identify the root cause of the issue, they still singled out the behaviour and specific misconfiguration of protections that leads to it failing (though it bears mentioning that a lot of users report these failing without ever coming close to triggering OPP). Identifying the root cause design flaw isn't necessary on their part - all that's required is to show that this is reproducible and isn't limited to a few units. Which they did, in a professional and unbiased fashion. (Oh, and AFAIK Steve aka. "the guy wuith the long hair" at GN doesn't have anything to do with the actual PSU testing.)

Do you know of what the Long Service badge translates to? That I know well the background of most regular ones.
And the only expert that I can trust this is me.

Dude I'm getting real tired of your 'I'm an expert, no one else can weigh in" shenanigans. Didn't you literally try to pull this on crmaris, who has more degrees in electrical science than I have beard hairs, and is also our PSU reviewer?

Yes. It means that you've been a member of these forums for ten years. That, and absolutely nothing else. Contrary to what a lot of people like to think, neither age nor exposure necessarily lead to wisdom.

And the only expert that I can trust this is me.

And this attitude just makes me question why you're even on a forum to beign with. Isn't this a place to discuss things? So far all I've seen you do is misrepresent the arguments of others and shit on quality journalism because you seemingly don't like that it's on youtube or that the presenter can be a bit obnoxious. Which ... well, you do you. Just don't expect the rest of us to keep quiet about it.
