Twitch streamer KristoferYee claims Artesian Builds throttled the PCs they built

sportskeeda.com:

Twitch streamer KristoferYee has recently been looking into Artesian Builds and has found a shocking number of poor practices by the company. In particular, he found that the company was purposely throttling GPUs (Graphics cards) for their builds.

This was because the machines were having overheating problems. He claimed that as a workaround to the issue, Artesian Builds were putting a 10% throttle on the graphics cards they shipped with builds.

This came about when a content creator wanted the Twitch streamer to take a look at their build from the company. It was not delivering the performance that it was supposed to.

The reason became clear, and KristoferYee talked about it in a recent livestream. The streamer stated that the computers they were building used an overclocking program, which in turn created an overheating issue. So to fight that, Artesian Builds is reportedly throttling the graphics cards they send out, so they do less.

That way, there’s less overheating.

Furthermore, KristoferYee claimed that the streamers and partnered creators were not even being told that this was happening on the PCs they spent money on or were given as part of a promotion. Either way, it elicited a plethora of reactions on the internet.

Quite a few Redditors were disgusted by the reveal of Artesian Builds' business practices. One pointed out how expensive the PCs are, and that downclocking the GPU to help overheating is shameful.

Another said they saw red flags when the PC builders had picked the wrong cooler, one that wouldn’t fit the case of a PC.

One user expressed their suspicions surrounding Noah Katz, the CEO of Artesia, and cited his previous business practices as an example. That is, of course, hypothetical.
