Your graph format is so much easier to absorb than anyone else's I wish everyone would graph 1% and 0.01% lows like you.

[mesaquecaiu]

Never thought you guys could be more perfect until I saw those sweet percentiles!

I just love the kind of benches and the games used, now I also love the methodology :)

[qwerty-fcix]

thanks for switching to percentiles steve.

[willkolbe]

This channel has quickly become one of my favorites. Great job on your videos, guys! Keep it up!

[BUDA]

The CL test was a really good addition! also, the way that black lines show scaling!, keep these cool additions

[brilliantlysplendid]

I gotta say, this much data being presented could have made the video very confusing, but the layout of your charts was very intuitive and enhanced by the color choice. The blue and orange was good even for someone RG colorblind like myself. Very well done HUB!

[Nightss]

Wow one of the best breakdowns I've ever seen on any video period. Your explanations and graphs go hand in hand at every step and you don't leave anything to be desired. The effort you put into your videos is unmatched man, thank you so much and can't wait to see more!

[selohcin]

Wow. Awesome coverage. You really can't find stuff like this anywhere else on the internet. Good work, Steve!

[misterinfinity]

OMG MAN Plz use the glowing blue aura around the statistics bar when you talk again. It's so good. Gj

[johntotten]

Yet another great video Steve. Very in depth and lots of time doing the benches with so many runs with all the different Ram speeds. Thank You for all your hard work man.

[techduck]

This channel is getting more impressive by the week. Leaps and bounds recently, and now some of the better hosts and content on YouTube. Keep up the good work!

[TimmyD]

as always Steve your benchmarks are always concise and thorough

[anonamouse]

Thanks for the comprehensive testing. No questions are left unanswered here.

Subbed.

[RevolutionV]

I love this channel, some of the best Ryzen benchmarks and testing have been coming from you guys. Thanks for the great content.

[mkheree]

And im here waiting for your Ryzen 5 review in 2 days ! :)

[CharcharoExplorer]

AMD Wraith Max?
Hardware Unboxed can you please review the 3 Ryzen coolers? The Wraith Stealth and SPire and Max? Compare them to the Haswell and Skylake Intel coolers (they are different) and a few cheaper after market ones.
Please :) ?

[BarneyStinsonsBro]

Hey Steve I'm working at my very first PC build right now and just wanted to thank you for these videos. I'm new to this whole hardware stuff and comparisons like these help me with chosing my parts. Also it would be great if you could add Witcher 3 to your future tests.

[abluequaker]

Just finished my $6000+ i7-7700k Gaming Build with an EKWB Custom Loop (GPU + Motherboard + CPU). Doing my first ever AMD build in 8-10 weeks with another Custom Loop, 1080 (I'll be getting a 1080ti and switching it with the 1080 Strix that I have in my current system which will still be my primary PC), and a Ryzen 1700 which I will obviously be OCing to match an 1800x.

The consistent efforts by AMD to optimise Ryzen with bios updates are making me pretty confident.

11:02 really nice, easy to understand charts. nicely explained too!
