That’s GN for ya, specifically Steve. That man takes any chance he gets to be a sarcastic wisecrack.

ASUS definitely was in the wrong with how things were handled, but Steve could’ve been a lot more helpful about how they approached the content and recommendations to users.

That is right. Asus initiated an in-person meet up with them to clear the air. Steve simply wasnt interested and threaten them away with wanting to video the whole thing for his channel. He never contacted Asus for a reply first.

His approach in this whole episode is to gain new subscribers than to help users. Look at how fast he bought the burnt CPU and how far he continues to milk this? Terrible person that masquerade as Tech Jesus.

Asus definitely fumbling with the PR too, i agree.

Asus clears up gamernexus SOC measurement FUD

auto translate english.

A pity youtube does not redact the past views, GN ran away with a big income using lazy research and too smug to apologise i betcha

If he's got it wrong... an apology would be in order and a second follow-up upload to rectify the situation. I did find him calling out ASUS for being scum bags HARSH! But then again, i'm not in a position to judge either party due lack of the internal know-how or on-going/historic skirmishes between the 2 parties (if any).

Other than that i don't have a problem with reviewers occasionally making mistakes or when things stick manufacturers being criticised for their ill/lazy-practices. IMO, most of these companies get away with murder and without these reviewers or wildly publicised criticisms they'd kill us 10-times over.

Oh and i can't stand brand until-i-die loyalists. Thats right, a middle finger

(not sure where that came frombut it felt relevant).

Laboratory analysis, professional testing, not assumptions.
You have over 1080 degrees Celsius in the processor and no protection is activated, it really is a problem.

So, 1616 with AGESA 1.0.0.7A (alpha, not even beta now !?) is verry good or should i use 1413 first ?.. i will mount my PC friday and use flashback !

The 1616 Bios is for the ROG STRIX X670E-I GAMING WIFI. If this is your MB then stay with that bios. The bios layout will look the same in general.

No, the 1616 is on a lot of Asus Motherboards, like was previous versions number like 1413/1409...

So you say this 1.0.0.7A (1616) is the one i should flashback when i plug my CPU "today" (yes, it's the day) instead using previous older ones like 1409/1413 !?!

I think too.

It is not showing for the ROG STRIX X670E-E GAMING WIFI as it only has 1416 available. Use the newest one for your board and check all is ok. If not then flash back to the previous one.
