Tshark Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago Hopefully they fixed the two biggest flaws in design that cause 80% of the HF8 failures. Larger gauge wire that doesn't break at the pad fold/motor solder points and replacing the IC motor controller chips with chips that have a higher power rating. 1 9800X3D (5.21GHz Turbo), MSI RTX 4090 OC 24GB, ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E GAMING Motherboard, G.

Yeah, hopefully one YouTuber comes along that actually address this and makes a tare down comparison. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk
