Hey guys! Thanks for watching, and if I may make a correction -- NVIDIA's new GPU architecture is called Blackwell, not Broadwell, as quite a few have pointed out in the comments. Glad you like the balloon animals! 😄

The problem with EVGA was that they told the customer to keep the cables, since they weren't going to send any with the replacement PSU... It was a big fu**up but apparently it was resolved properly according to the client. I'm not sure if it was because of the "social pressure", but in any case, they fixed it.

I have thought about this ever since finding out they weren't all the same. If I was a dumb person, I would have fried my whole system a few years ago when I upgraded my PSU for a new GPU I got. Luckily, I'm not, and did research to make sure if it was possible or not. Lol 🤣

This one is really on EVGA. They should have just moved to a different model number instead of reusing the same one. Would have prevented the cable mix-up and it would have prevented any issues in the future

That hand action on the pump while staring into the camera. 🤣

I don't see any Paul's Hardware logoed balloons on the store! Gap in the market there.

That AMOLED AIO is an interesting idea. It's supposed to be useful for displaying animations or images like those 4D ones on top of buildings where the advertisement character "pop's out" of the display.

With the EVGA PSU, they tell you not send to send your cables in, as they don’t ship new cables.

Happy Easter Paul 🐣 Wow you own on the ballon making skills, what other hidden talents do you have?

I'm looking forward to Battlemage. I picked up an A750 LE just to support Intel's GPU division; the card is still sitting in the box. (It'll get used eventually; probably for video transcoding.) I plan on buying the equivalent Battlemage (B750?) for much the same reason.

It's always a pleasure to watch your videos!

I love EVGA power supplys and personally I do know about only using the cables that came with that specific power supply. However I too might have thought the unit I'd be getting back would be an exact match if I left the cables in, although with my OCD I'd have probably sent the cables back too.

Nice work with the balloon animals :)

EVGA tells you to keep the PSU cables when you RMA your PSU. If they are sending a different unit as replacement, they need to notify you of that and let the user know to use the cables that come with the replacement unit

Im all in for opening bit

I'm very excited for a 4070 competitor from Intel. Hope it's more affordable with 16gb of Ram. I do wish EVGA would get back into the GPU manufacturing. Always been a huge EVGA GPU buyer. Ok that was out of nowhere, very nice work with the ballon Paul.
