Cheers Gibbo. Any news on RX560 stock and pricing changes?
Pretty much canned it, were doing a deal on some RX 550, which have full 640 shader and should be flashable.
I’m not sure I see the reasoning in your question, the point I was making applies to both, it’s analogous.

No it doesn't
When do bulbs normally blow? When you switch them on right.... Left on ALL the time they last ages...
I really am not getting your point here. LEDs have a mean time to failure, so do bulbs. Do you disagree with this?
It seems such a strange departure from what we were discussing, I feel like you’ve nothing more to say on the matter and are just trying to find something I’ve said ‘wrong’ for some reason.
Your original question, which seemed to me rather glib, was ‘does this apply to RGB too’, the answer to which as I and other(s) have said is ‘yes’.
Where are you going with this mate?
Left off all the time they last even longer
This made me giggle.
Thanks for the videos man

Getting close to me buying an x mining card on the MM like the one i have now that has lasted 3 years!! I used to work in the PCB manufacture and we would soak test under high temps and catch 99% of failures within the first few days, after that you would be unlikely to see a failure <10yrs, as for the fans i water cool anyway..so its all good, going to get myself another 3yr lasting bargain when the prices drop enough.
If your going to quote me.. Then at least make sure your quoting me!!
My point is. Run a light bulb at full whack ALL the time and it will last longer than a bulb that is turned on and off. Think heat cycles..
It hasn't..I NEVER mentioned RGB, YOU did..
Still struggling to see a coherent post at all mate.
RSR began the discussion on RGBs, you then quoted my reply to him, bringing yourself into the conversation. I was wrong in saying that it was you that raised the question, but you did chime into to a discussion regarding them. I wasn't the one who brought them into the discussion either.
I think at the moment you're just trying to be provocative rather than discuss this, you seemed to run out of steam earlier on, so I'll leave it there.
It was a attempt at humour, which clearly hasn't worked but it has seem to caused some disagreements and then people defending those methodologies which has proven interesting.
So to answer the question your statement, no, I didn't run out of steam.
Hence this question. As the answer to your question would be different depending on whether it was a LED or Filament bulb
I think I've answered this one right here. But I'll do it again for you.
Bulb failure generally occurs during a start up. Going from 0% to 100% there is a surge in Voltage often causing a spike which will blow a filament. A steady constant power draw lessons this. You can also see this when using a dimmer switch. (thats a switch that you can turn on a slowly increase the power supplied to to bulb.)
Again Thats why I asked about whether it was an LED or a Filament bulb.
Sorry mate, I wasn’t aiming that at you. Rather it was mattyg when he jumped in.
For the record I really don’t want to argue, just discuss.
Your post made me smile so it worked for me at least
Please accept my humble apologies for "jumping in" I shall await an invitation from someone in future..
Jeez these Gamers sure are bitter....Maybe if they weren't playing with themselves so much they'd be happier
