AMD just formally announced its 4 new CPUs for Zen 4, their prices, and their release date. Now, we’re looking at a delidded Ryzen 7000 CPU to learn more about the very unique IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader) design with the ”spider leg” shape. In this quick video, we’ll talk about why AMD made these design decisions, how CPUs are soldered, why gold is used, and more.

UNTIL 9/17/22, we are giving 10% of ALL GN STORE REVENUE to Cat Angels, a no-kill cat shelter local to us that we support and have visited. They will use the donations for taking care of shelter cats and for adoptions. Grab a 4-Pack of GN Coasters, a Modmat, or a toolkit here!
