Awesome podcast!!
Full of great insights and compared to me, quite professional knowledge. I’m not sure what to write but I needed to write a review because this podcast is just quite awesome and there are not enough reviews. I’m learning so much!
Where have you been my entire life?
Fantastic podcast. I stumbled upon this gem while searching for discussion on water cooling. The hosts are knowledgeable, friendly, and their discussion is very natural and pleasing to listen to. If you have an interest in computer hardware generally, give this podcast a try, you won’t be disappointed.
They know their stuff
They say they aren’t “experts” but they might as well be. Great hardware news, updates, and informed opinions on all sorts of tech.
