A fan blade broke off my 7900 XTX mid gaming session, I was playing the Last of Us 2 for about an hour when i heard a slight rattle noise from computer then within about 60-90 seconds it turned into loud clank and grinding noise, and i found the blade at bottom of my case.

For the better part of a month now I’ve been waffling on whether to purchase a #Gigabyte x870 Aorus Elite or #MSI x870 Tomahawk #motherboard. Both are at the top of my budget and offer really compelling design choices. For me the priorities are a PCIe 5.0 slot, at least two M.2 (CPU) slots, and USB4.

The Gigabyte x870 features a nice neutral design that compliments the rest of my build. The compromise is the ability to have up to three 5.0 x4 M.2 slots, but at the expense of half the lanes going to the first PCIe slot (x16 down to x8). Shouldn’t be a problem now but idk about the future.

The MSI x870 features an…interesting design with green accents that I’m kind of torn about. The compromise here is halving the number of lanes going to the second M.2 slot (x4 down to x2) to power both USB4 ports. Oof.

The case for the MSI board is stronger when you consider the higher quality audio chip, broader WIFI7 frequency, gold antenna threads, better power efficiency, lower chipset temps, and passes DDR5-8000 EXO validation. The new bios looks like a pleasure to use. Just all around a solid mobo.

The case for the Gigabyte board is the fact you will always have USB4 and if you’re fine with halving your GPU lanes to get three M.2 slots connected straight to your CPU, you’re working with a fantastic board. No compromises. The Gigabyte bios is a bit older but still good.

This machine crashes everytime I use a browser
The Massive fans that I have installed, fans that are **bigger** than the Mini PC, which push and pull the hot ear way from the APU can not do it in an efficient manner because the Heat Sink is not even good enough for a GPU of 30 years ago!

Inspection has told me, that this heatsink can only cool down a device which has a TDP of less than 10!

The APU is a magnitude bigger! Design failure! design failure!

In order to be able to use the machine {in a very disabled fashion} I had to resort to extreme very extreme tactics to cool it down. As you can see in this composition I had to hack open the case destroying whatever beautiful thing it had. It doesn't do much because the heat sink itself is about 80% too small. Whenever I run something that uses a lot of GPU and CPU there's 80 to 20% chance that the APU will lock up

Two massive fans run on the whole

You know that guy who does that failure mean from the tubes right?

I'm now going to show you a supreme failure brought by gigaByte

This machine is supposed to work in an area where the ambient temperature is 35° Celsius something they never ever told us on the website.

Over here we can reach 40° Celsius Ambient temperature

Een top of that this machine can only work properly in 28° Area

The following scene is one I see many times a day
