Drivers are the primary reason I've stuck with Intel & Nvidia. And better these days is more optimistic but doesn't allure me to invest until their drivers' reliability is at least on par with Intel & Nvidia.
AMD gets me very excited for the future of tech though, seems like they're the most innovative lately. They better get their drivers as consistent as the competitors before Intel releases DG2 or they will be losing some customers for sure.
My brother I live with built an AMD system at the same time I built my Intel system and whether when he was using an AMD or Nvidia GPU, he keeps having issues intermittently that I never had. He has had less problems with his Nvidia GPU though. I don't like that he has had issues with AMD and it's not unheard of at all so I generally don't even consider them, I'd prefer to have the most painless and/or smooth experience straight from the initial boot (And I have- Partially thanks to you for recommending the Phanteks P400a in your best cases of 2019 video! ).
Keep up the great work team, and your comedy Steve, I love it!

Well, Steve, I'm a little disappointed that you have little experience with PowerOn button technology, it's not a good look for a tech reviewer to be just so far behind the damn curve.
Here's an extract from the technical white paper, this should familiarize you with its purpose:
First, you take a regular power button, and you smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then repurposed for later batches.
Then you take the switch and push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It's important that the fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all of the fleeb juice.
Then a Shlami shows up and he rubs it, and spits on it.
Then you cut the fleeb. There's several hizzards in the way.
The blaffs rub against the chumbles, and the plubus and grumbo are shaved away.
That leaves you with a regular old MSI PowerOn switch!
P.s they are also planning on releasing an MSI PowerOff button, which is just the exact same thing as the PowerOn switch.

All these companies, Intel, AMD, Nvidia are all in a monopoly to drip release the slowest hardware they need to maximise on profit. Nothing significant has changed in more than 10 years. Still the same slow hardware, except they're now normalizing 2000 flagship CPUs and GPUs that don't even have stock. Proprietary architectures with privacy backdoors that gets included and you need to pay for it. Don't be surprised if the whole X86 Desktop industry collapses. RISC-V is going to completely flip this market on its head. And it deserves it. Reviewers who constantly suck up to companies are the very last people we should be paying attention to. Need to start being far more critical of their lame products and lack of innovation. The hardware we have now could have been made 10 years ago.

Seems you asked at 9:28 minutes how a power on button works. You use one of your fingers to press the button down on a modern case. And Listen for a click, then remove your finger. The drive light and any other light your motherboard should come on. The electricity should flow around the motherboard, memory, drives, CPU and graphics card. turning them on. Then your CPU should load the Windows 10 program from the drive to memory. While this is happing you have turned on your monitor and speakers with there on buttons like you turned on the computer. Next the programs for the mouse, keyboard and anything else you have connected to the cxomputer should load to its memory. The a few moments later you are ready to use the computer. LOL yer right.

You will be familiar with having to short the power pins on the motherboard after rtfm using a paper clip or screwdriver or other handy metal object of a reasonable size. The 'Power ON' button is a switch that then provides two wires that are threaded with various amounts of cable management to the pw+ and pw- pins. This miraculously enables one's digit to depress the switch on the case and magically turns on your PC. Interestingly the button has an undocumented function that will turn off your PC if you hold down the button for a few seconds providing the PC was already on. This can be slightly confusing and perhaps a new label of 'Power ON/OFF' should be used instead.

9:24 My brother works at a company that has a Power Button in their facilities, so you could say that, next to people with a PhD in Power Button Engineering, I am an expert in those. What s important to understand is that the Power Button is merely the nexus of a systemwide effort that enables electrifying synergies between the the various components of a breakthrough computing platform, opening up creative innovation processes inside exciting, cutting-edge metallurgical frameworks. This is in layman terms, of course. The actual process is much more involved.

Power on has something to do with a smoke, because sometimes it release smoke in the case. It also seems to be somehowe connected to the spirit of the machine (see ghost in the chell) because it can cause the computer newer work anymore.
My prediction is that it release a very small gap that give the smoke time to get something that is needed. But if the gap stays on too long the spirit/smoke? can escape. So the faster power on, the safe it will be?

I work in the Navy. We have these plastic red buttons, shaped like flat mushrooms, that one presses to activate washing machines, dolly lifts, torpedoes, CNC & drill presses, pumps, and other things. They are ubiquitous with power-up .
Except in one room, there are two. You need a buddy & you each need a key.
I really really really want to press that won.

Having an old Fractal Design R4 case without glass but with a fan on the side helping the RTX3080 I use the Corsair H100 platinums RGB to change colour with the CPU temp, the colour shines through the fan intake. No need for a screen on the pump and some usefulness of the carneval lighting! (The platinum was on sale)
