The hosts reveal they're heading to CES 2025 while battling illness, previewing major GPU leaks and case mods.

The ThinkComputers Weekly Tech Podcast episode 432 serves as a CES 2025 preview and tech news roundup. Hosts Ryan and his co-host open by discussing their health before CES, setting a casual tone. They outline the episode's segments: product reviews, case mod highlights, and GPU leaks. The first review covers the Logitech Pro X Superlite 2 DeX mouse, criticizing its high price, unchanged components from the Superlite 2, and community feedback being ignored. Next, the Asus Ryogen 3 360 ARGB Extreme AIO is reviewed, noting its 480p screen, redesigned fans, and $349.99 price. The hosts then showcase the best case mods of 2024, featuring builds like AK Mods Zero Gravity and Billet Labs Toaster, emphasizing creativity and engineering. The discussion shifts to GPU leaks, starting with AMD's Radeon RX 9000 series, where the flagship 9070 XT name confuses due to similarity with NVIDIA's naming. Leaked specs include a 3.1 GHz boost and 330W power. For NVIDIA, leaks suggest the RTX 5080 might launch first, with detailed PCB images of the RTX 5090 revealing a 16-chip memory design and 600W power connector. Specs for the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti are also mentioned. Other news includes a Nintendo Switch 2 PCB leak powered by an NVIDIA Tegra chip. The hosts preview CES expectations, such as new laptops and gaming handhelds. Personal updates include Ryan's new Bambu Labs P1S 3D printer and the co-host's Honda Prologue EV purchase.
