0:00 - Intro and setting up live stream
2:11 - 7 Z490 Boards already... and No CPU...
4:39 - Used Market Update
9:15 - AMD announces no Zen 4000 (Zen 3) Support to X470, B450, X370, B350 and A320. Have to buy an X570 or B550 Chipset to get support (or X670).
15:02 - Do motherboard manufacturers really want this B550 dilemma more than AMD...? Curve Ball
19:50 - Stop Blind Loyalty
22:50 - A320 wasn't supposed to get Zen 2 support but got it, perhaps the same will happen with Zen 3?
28:19 - Is AMD cherry picking the 3300x over the 3100?
33:01 - What is AMD's marketing department doing...!?
42:10 - Don't forget the classical market penetration strategy.
43:50 - Q&A, why show ads?
44:55 - X58 in 2020?
48:30 - 100degrees on VRM? A problem with a 9900K?
50:13 - Should I upgrade a 2200g or 2400g to the 3300X?
51:02 - Upgrading can be a big waste of money, minimalism vs tech
53:11 - 3300X vs 1600AF for streaming?
55:35 - Should I hold out for DDR5 and New 5nm NV?
57:15 - Accent Battle, Reverse US Man vs Aussie Man.
Also to answer the question that we missed before: Motherboard makers shouldn't charge DLC to get Ryzen 4000, would create way too many upset customers than it would do good.
