and we're hopefully actually live this time i guess you guys in the twitch chat
will have to let me know how we're doing here
are we live
blind says we're just seeing the Linus jobs image wait hold on some people are
seeing it i'm getting nopes i'm getting one person said it's up but sometimes
that's just that's just that's just trolling and that's not actually helpful
wait now there's more people saying it's up
yes we're live awesome okay which means that now i have to go and
oh live stream is on after all join
us
and i'm gonna change the name of the video that i created on youtube so that
people would be able to join the live stream and i changed it then to twitch
tvs having problems and so the live stream is cancelled so pretty much
everyone who looked at that video is now not going to join the live stream
anymore and oh what a shame what a shame what a
shame so hopefully you guys have noticed that i
have a completely new setup tonight so i am no longer using a webcam in fact the
webcam that i was using is not even here anymore and not only is the webcam not
here anymore but this this sound card and the other sound cards and the
onboard sound that drove me crazy none of that i don't even need this anymore
why am even wearing this pointless okay so the sound card that i
was using before the microphones everything you guys have been complaining about is fixed totally fixed
now i haven't done much in terms of tweaking the actual streaming quality
within twitch tv but what i have done is
i have upgraded my camera i have upgraded my microphone i have upgraded
my lighting is the lighting okay because i can turn it up i can turn it down i
have upgraded my capture device so i'm gonna give you guys a yeah see everyone
on twitch chat's going crazy they're saying it's outstanding so it's great
right it's good it looks like like like production quality kind of thing
yes all right that is fantastic i'm so happy to hear
that because i know i've been promising you guys i'm promising you guys that i'm
going to upgrade the equipment and don't worry we're not going to be stuck with this forever i mean remember how my face
used to have like this deathly power of whiteness because basically
all i could do with my countertop set up here was have my my laptop sitting here
and then i could just turn on all the lights in this room which is really not
enough for for like a production environment and then like my face was
always whited out because the camera was way too close but i couldn't move any
further away and just everything was bad and everything was
was terrible and diesel's texting me right now he's asking did you change the
picture profile and i don't know man i don't know what's going on and uh all i
know is you guys are saying that everything is good no
tool1289 cannot have my old equipment because we will still be using the old
equipment now a lot of people in my unboxing of the fs700 were a little bit
critical they were a little bit critical of how much money i spent on a camera
for youtube unboxings however there are big plans that involve far more than
just unboxings on youtube that is the tip of the iceberg that is not what
the plan is for this uber expensive camera okay
um and but we will still be using the xa10 we'll still be using the other
equipment just in different ways so i want like a dual camera set up i want an
a-roll and a b-roll i want the a-roll to
be awesome when the 4k firmware upgrade comes out for this camera you guys can
bet i will be upgrading it to it immediately so that we can start
capturing 4k video whether it's lightest
tech tips or whether it's you know cats or any other channel you know depending
on what we end up doing but i want to be the first one to bring 4k video of all
kinds of cool stuff to the youtubes in a blog style which means you know we'll
actually have sort of volume of of content going on so we're uh we're
trying to get together the resources to put together like an editing machine and
capture machine that can actually capture
like honestly guys i've got a velociraptor in
the machine that i'm using right now to capture the HDMI stream in fact i'll
give you guys a tour of the new setup very shortly here but i've got a
velociraptor that i'm using for that and um
when i ran the test with the blackmagic intensity pro card it basically gave me
like uh oh this isn't good enough to capture 1080p
okay so 4k is going to be about four times the bandwidth requirements of
1080p which means i would basically need like the velociraptor's sole borderline
so i would basically need like a couple ssds in raid 0 to capture
it per stream and who knows we might have
more than one stream okay so i need a couple of those or i need like four hard
drives in raid 0 just to capture this footage and when i captured about 45
seconds of HDMI uh 1080p sorry HDMI
1080p footage i was getting like one plus Gigabyte file sizes so when we're
capturing 4k every minute should be about eight gigs
and yes tetrasky i know that maxres on youtube is 1080p 4k filming can be
pointless all you want however youtube
is capable of outputting i believe it's 2.5 k and
down sampled 4k will always look better
than something that was captured at 1080p you can say it's useless all you
want but
the future is something that we have to actually
plan for around here so i'm not going to invest in equipment that when 4k gets
enabled when everyone can actually afford to buy a 4k tv
i'm going to be ready for it so exciting exciting stuff so yeah i'll
give you guys a tour of the new setup so first of all there's uh
there's this
check this out so this is like the case
that my new lights came in like this is the case i got the kit so it comes with
pretty much everything you need except i mean of all things it doesn't come with
bulbs so i had to actually buy bulbs so there's that okay and then i'm gonna
just go ahead and oh check this out you guys you guys are gonna love this you
guys are gonna love this so we've got a new tripod now i hope i don't mess it up i think
i'm on autofocus right now so let me see
yeah i'm on autofocus right now so it should be fine so check out the new
tripod this is like how smoothly
i can pan around and i'm not nearly as good at this stuff as uh as diesel but
our new manfrotto tripod is awesome maybe i'll give you guys a quick like
tour of my my kitchen here so that's where i keep my glassware
and then this is where i keep other glassware and like cups and stuff
and this is my microwave and this right here is the meat for my
dinner which i haven't had a chance to eat yet because i love you guys more
than i love nourishing my body and
there's a pot with the curry that i'm going to eat tomorrow in it which is
super exciting because it's my favorite thing ever this is my fridge
i just i love this new setup so much
so very much it's just way too awesome
so there's my little like glass roof
sort of breakfast nook thing that's going on there's my classic AMD 64 water
bottle that i covered in AMD stickers these are the new lights so i've got two
of these these are keelflow something or others 40 something diva light divalite
400 something i think and uh they're they're awesome
and then over there is my water cooler and then here's my dishes and my oh
there's my breakfast cereal apple cinnamon cheerios for the win am i right
see there's more it branded water bottles got my ASUS water bottle
and i think we're pretty much done here except for the most exciting part which
is my capture pc so the capture pc let's go
ahead and test out the zoom here so i just got the kit lens for the fs700
which means that it does have a zoom on it it was only about a 600 adder so
let's get in pretty close there so there
on the left hand side is the blackmagic intensity pro so
there's my HDMI in and then on the right hand side is an avermedia live gamer hd
so the intensity pro isn't quite working yet with my
xa10 so i'm hoping that if that doesn't work then i can either use the avermedia
or avermedia has another one so look at this even when i'm zoomed right in i can
still i can still pan reasonably well
although it's not that great so let's have a look at the i o let's see how the
auto autofocus does here oh that looks so good
like how much better is this than what we've been doing in the past you guys
and then we can see like uh i don't know pieces for the camera
that are over here i mean now i'm just playing but uh here
let's go ahead and go back to
back to the normal shot so right about there hopefully this is
right it might not be right so i really hope you guys have been enjoyed
the actual little help yeah see i didn't get it right i got my head cut off which
is not a good thing but it goes to show you guys like okay
camera is important like yes we did invest a lot on the camera but lights
are like equally important i mean people freaked out when i did the fs700
unboxing i'm like yeah we spent uh 8 500
on a camera but actually those lights
just for two of them was over three grand as well which makes a huge
difference but if you get lights that can be easily adjusted so these have
dimmers built in you can use four or two lights at a time whatever you want um
they're very portable they come with transportation you don't have to adjust
the color temperature really they're very much like like a natural studio
light whereas the ones we use for ncix tech tips are not as
they're like a very yellow light they're incandescent which is i guess nice
because you don't get any flicker no matter what you're doing but it's just
there's other challenges associated with it so uh so yeah that's that's that's cool
everything's everything's cool oh oh i have to show you guys this okay so sorry
i actually don't have twitch set up properly because the stream sort of
started at the last minute tonight and everything was a was a bit of a disaster
so bear with me we're gonna have a black screen for a second here
no we apparently aren't
due to my computer right now but like how freaking awesome
is this new camera you know i didn't even realize that um that the slow-mo
guys on youtube i thought they had like a 25 000 FPS camera or something like
that in order to capture some of the stuff that they're doing but what i've
realized now is that they've only got a 2 500 FPS
camera which means we can capture in broad daylight when we can keep the
color quality reasonably good we can capture up to 960 FPS at one quarter of
1080p so i'll let you guys process that for a minute we can do a two second
burst and someone can't hear the sound oh yeah there's no sound on that video guys um
okay so we can do a two second burst at 960 FPS we can do a four second burst at
480 FPS so that's what you guys saw in
that video there which is amazing i mean i know the color kind of sucks but we
were in the tech tip studio where we didn't have the best lighting it wasn't
outdoors so that means we can do kind of a fifth to a third sort of of what
they're able to do in terms of slow motion capture which is really exciting
because i love slo-mo slow-mo is so cool like okay we're just you know what we're
just gonna we're gonna go back we're gonna go back and uh
yes Linus slo-mo tips indeed
or something like that so it's no surprise that the table almost
buckled under the strain of supporting his enormous weight and that's possible
he's watching this and uh too bad slick you're fat
and there's there's nothing else really to say about it now hold on give me give
me a sec here guys
i've forgotten how to do this because i always had it sort of set up and then i
never really thought about it uh remove
okay so we'll switch to we'll switch to this one now and then i'm gonna just
remove this one and i'm going to zoom in on my twitter
and we're almost actually set up i'm so sorry that i'm not as prepared as as i
would have liked to be tonight but it was all about getting this new camera
going for me here guys so i i really really really wanted to do
that tonight and i honestly didn't get home until about
7 30 so i basically said hi to the baby
and then uh hi to my wife
and um then i came down here and i got
everything set up i actually have not managed to even to even eat yet but you
guys know that uh you guys know i love you and i'm trying
to bring you guys like the best and most awesome live streams that i possibly can
i have one challenge here which is that now that um
now that the way that i'm positioned is a little bit different i don't know
where i'm gonna you know what maybe i'll put twitter on this side tonight i'm
breaking the mold here things are getting crazy now
okay can you guys read that okay i'm just going to check the i'm going to
check the twitch chat really quick and see if you guys can
can actually see that all right thanks for the effort nice for okay yeah
yeah you guys saw okay so let's get to some twitter q a i'm just gonna slide my
chair over here which is super awkward the way that i'm doing it here and let's
get to it so 69 new interactions
you guys know what that's about all right like the quality okay oliver
has a question about video cards video cards are something i get a
ton of questions about and i would love to answer your question oliver should i
get a second 68.70 or a new 7970
best price to performance ratio okay it is always a challenge to calculate
the price to performance ratio of a crossfire setup because in one game
you might have a situation where the crossfire setup destroys an equivalently
priced single card and i think someone's texting me over
and over again oh slick says
let's see if it focuses on that come on camera you can do it
yeah whatever he says well you're small because apparently i he's he's sort of
upset about how i would call him fat but i guess he is watching tonight
right so you'll run into situations where in game x the crossfire setup
destroys the single card and in game y the crossfire setup doesn't work at all
and the single card setup is way better so
it basically comes down to the games you play and looking at it in terms of like
sort of a general general rule
general rule so general rule for me is unless you're talking two high-end cards
7 900 series 660 ti and up for the NVIDIA side get a
single card do not run crossfire with lower end cards because it's usually not
a great value because when it doesn't work it's not working and when it does
work well you could have gotten 90 of that performance with the single card
solution so uh yes get a 7970 sell your old 6870 and be
happy can't hear you whenever you switch from
the camera view to desktop my audio cuts out okay well i'll figure i'll figure
that out brian brian it's funny you should bring that
up i actually didn't troll elric with the ivy bridge thing he he released a
video where he received from Linus tech tips in the mail this box that was
labeled iv bridge and this was prior to the embargo and then inside um
there was like a little model bridge covered with ivy and then he was like ah
Linus told me i actually had no involvement in that i mean i don't mind
i don't care it doesn't it doesn't matter to me like it's i thought it was
pretty funny but i actually had zero involvement with it so
um it was just it was kind of confusing because i had people congratulating me
on my awesome prank before i actually
managed to find out what i had what i had pranked so
um so yeah i don't know it was confusing
it's confusing good morning it's seven in the morning
here greetings from lithuania greetings back lithuania i am thrilled that you
that you managed to tune in here joel says the slow-mo guys use a 10 000 FPS
phantom flex okay it's possible i was looking at one of their older videos i
was looking at the stomach punch one where they say it was captured at
2500 FPS maybe it's possible that their
camera goes higher than that but they capture it at that
frame rate for better quality or whatever else the case may be either way
i know it's a very very expensive camera but either way i'm excited about what we
can do with the fs700 uh because i'm i'm
pretty impressed with slick's impact on the table there and uh and how how good
that looked um someone wanted me to call out that slick is really sexy so for the
sake of slick and his largeness uh apparently one of our viewers also
thinks he's sexy so good job slick
all right jose perez jose perez hd capture card or
raid zero ssds using fraps for recording
and editing gameplay and short films now
it depends what you mean by short films because if short films you probably you
probably mean like gary's mod short films okay so let's assume you're
talking gameplay capture this is a cool product the one that i have behind me
here i'm just going to run it throughout the package this is a very cool product
for a couple of reasons so number one is that because of the fact that it's
doing h.264 encoding on the fly
you have much smaller file sizes okay so smaller file sizes are beneficial
because with a small smaller file size you don't need like a dual SSD raid 0 in
order to actually capture 1080p footage okay the other cool thing about the on
the fly encoding is that you can play at 1080p and then you can actually stream
like what you what you actually capture or stream can be at 720p because
it's doing that conversion in real time so that's really cool
however as with any capture card my experience
with this one has been fraught with
with difficulties and it hasn't been the easiest experience in the world to
figure out how to get it going properly so
the answer is yeah i don't know
fraps is a great solution in that it's flexible you can easily move it around
from machine to machine it doesn't require any kind of dedicated hardware the software is very mature it's very
awesome but the challenge is is um is again you need
that beefy pc also it's very CPU intensive right benefit number three of
using something like that avermedia live game live gamer i think is the one yeah
live gamer hd capture card is that it's not going to affect your game
performance so you can run your pc at exactly the same performance as if you
weren't recording but you are recording it offloads everything so that's really
cool as well so if you're techy enough if you think you
can handle it get the live gamer hd be done with it because you're going to be
able to run at a higher FPS you're going to have to not have to worry about a
really high-end storage system and yeah i think that's going to be a better
solution for you however it's a 200 investment oh yeah fraps is free but
then again buying two ssds for fraps is another 200 investment by the time you
have any decent capacity ssds logan asks Linus i was designing a
computer and i wondered what is the difference between a 3770k
a 3770 and a 3770s if i recall correctly
and guys please correct me please correct me if i'm wrong the 3770s
should be a low power variant the 3770
is a slightly overclockable 3770 in that
you can go i think it's a few steps above the maximum turbo multiplier you
can still get pretty decent clock speeds out of it i've got a 3770 that i was
playing around with and that's just kind of like oh okay well you could drain the qpi up to kind of 105 ish and then that
that gives you some additional couple hundred megahertz and then plus you can
turn the multipliers up pretty high i mean by the time
you by the time you sort of max out how high you can turn it up you're getting
to the point where you're starting to have to feed it more voltage than you'd probably like anyway so 3770 is not a
bad solution but the k will go a little bit further all right guys
something i wanted to clarify i made a mistake on the live stream last week
Intel's haswell cpus are coming for lga
1150 not 1155 so i get a lot of
questions about socket 2011 versus socket 1155 so the premium enthusiast
socket versus the mainstream socket for Intel and remember there's a third
socket on the well okay 2011 is also a
server socket but completely different platform in terms of the motherboards
and the cpus for the server side so we're talking
consumer and workstation so 2011 advantages
more than four cores and that doesn't mean just six cores we've got six cores
and eight cores now but Intel has already said that when iv
bridge e comes we're going to have 10 to 12 cores in a single socket high
performance ivy bridge quarters which is like getting my geek on as far as
2011 goes Intel has also come out and said lga 1155 is never getting more than
four cores now i don't know how many cores lg 1150 is going to get
but i'm falling asleep take off your shirt
all right all right well someone asked for it so
no i'm not really going to do that um lg so lga 1150 i don't know how many
cores it's going to get it will get the haswell architecture 1155 is a dead end
now you will never get anything faster than an iv bridge CPU with four cores
and hyper threading so which one should you get okay so 2011
you got more memory capacity you got more memory bandwidth you have more PCIe
lanes although i think i've covered in depth enough times that more PCIe lanes
actually doesn't make much difference to gaming performance especially with a two-way card configuration and then on
lg 1155 you've got this dead end platform but the performance is actually
in gaming better than 2011 because 2011
is still running the sandy bridge architecture and we're now on ivy bridge
on lg 1155 so if you're not planning to
upgrade your CPU and let's face it guys okay okay okay we're gonna do a quick
pull pull here so you can respond in twitch you can respond in twitter i'm
gonna go ahead i'm gonna give you guys sort of like 30 seconds to reply to this
poll have you ever
after a year with a computer whether it's a laptop whether it's a desktop
bought a new CPU based on a new architecture and then dropped it in as a
replacement to your existing one and in fact i don't want you guys to say how if
you ever i want you to say how many times you've done it if you've never
done it just type zero or or a zero and if you've ever done it
then then type how many times you've actually done it because i think i think
i did it once i think one time i went on socket
754 i went from a
3000 plus to a 3500 plus because i got
like a fantastic deal or something stupid like that i think that's the only
time i ever did it and the results are piling in i'm going to go ahead and move
twitch over here so you guys can kind of see it and then we'll do a twitter
twitter result later so does it matter
that lga 1155 doesn't have an upgrade platform i don't think so because you
can always sell your 1155 kit so your
motherboard your CPU it'll still perform pretty good like we're seeing pretty
small generational performance improvements uh yeah so lots of zeros ones twos lots
of zeros um you see you can always sell it and then buy a new one and you'll
probably take a 50 to 100 hit which is pretty close to the 50 hit that
you'd take by upgrading your existing 2011 CPU or even
100 hit or whatever you take like that like the loss you take selling and
re-buying hardware i really don't think is that different
however you go about it so i'm not really sold on sockets and platforms as
upgrade potential i mean AMD's done a good job of it so am3
is cool because you can install an 1100 t
fx 8150 and an fx8350
in the same board which is that's pretty cool because that's
three generational changes so they went from this socket having nothing higher
end than a six core to all of a sudden having an acorn then an eight core with a new architecture
so um
so yeah i mean that's cool but i think most people just haven't really haven't
really sort of done that so let's have a look at what the twitter what the twitter responses were
i've done it one inch two okay i have no idea what
that means never always upgrade to a new architecture a whole new platform
because here's another thing to consider is when the new CPU comes out often the
aging platform that is compatible with it isn't really a perfect choice
because okay let's look at let's look at ivybridge for example okay so z68
motherboards have support for ivybridge cpus mostly i found one that doesn't and
i'm like super mad about it because i have one of these boards and i'm like
what do you mean you didn't upgrade it for ivy but anyway sorry i'm aside but
um they're compatible but you don't get the benefit of if i
recall correctly virtue mvp which i'm not entirely sold on anyway but whatever
okay so you don't get the benefit you don't get the benefit of um pci express
3.0 which again i don't i'm not sure if i really care that much about anyway
but the point is if you want to get the most out of that new CPU you bought you're
probably better off just buying a new motherboard to go with
it anyway because you're going to want by that time you're going to want your
dual Thunderbolt output and you're going to want your all usb 3
implementation instead of having usb 2 mixed in there there's going to be some
kind of other cool crazy thing that is going to be good like the new
motherboards are going to have better onboard sound better like who knows
maybe 10 gigabit lan by the time you know we're two years down the road and
it's time to upgrade from an ivy bridge uh from an ivy bridge platform so so
that's where we're at with all of this uh right so let's let's you know let's
just go through and do some sort of shout outs for people here am i excited
about the upcoming fx 8350 i'm always excited about new cpus and video cards
cpus video cards and ssds those are my favorite things to like get excited
about zero zero yes once says matthew zero
zero zero only once one
how are you doing tonight my question should i get rid of my
dedicated physx card yes sell your 570
your 660 ti can handle the physx on its own anders
i went to the elementary school with a guy named anders anders um
who's his last name i don't remember it doesn't really matter
you said that you could film hurt some refresh rates of monitors with the new camp i think that'd be an awesome idea
thank you alexander we are not planning to film oh yeah okay so i want to talk a
little bit about one of the plans i have for this new camera that is capable of
filming at 960 FPS what i want to do
is i want to take this two displays a crt and an lcd and
then i want to clone the display out from a gaming pc
and then we put a microphone right next to the mouse so we got our mouse here we
put a microphone right next to it and then what we do is we
hit the mouse with a hard object so that we can use the sound recording as an
indicator of when we sent the signal to
the lcds and it won't be exact come on guys but we can then use the crt
to see the instant response because crts don't have input lag then we can see the
lcd to see how many more frames because we can throw it in a video editor and
actually measure frame by frame how many more frames it takes for the lcd to
react then we can go multiply how many frames
it is by however many whatever we'll do the math it's i can't do it in my head
right now but i can do it on paper so we'll go okay so if it was five frames
and it's 960 frames per second then we
can go okay so it's five nine hundred and sixtieths of a second of input lag
compared to crt which is really really cool really exciting so we'll be able to
tell you guys definitively if an lcd is
awesome for gaming it has input lag or if it doesn't have input lag and whoever
thinks i'm streaming with a webcam you weren't on time tonight mind you i
wasn't on time tonight but uh yes it is
an 8 500 camera it is not a webcam
tonight with an all-new audio set up and everything so
madness says stupid idea Linus well too bad we're going to try it and we're
going to see if it works if it does then the joke's on you and now he says joke
okay so let's read some more twitter here guys greetings from egypt it's 6 30
a.m you know what this this is a cookie jar and
this is me taking out a cookie or well actually it's one of those sweet and
sour sauce containers from microsoft but whatever you get an internet cookie for
tuning in at because you are
amazing 6 30 in the morning you're amazing okay
i'm doing some upgrades early next year should i get a second 7970 or upsell my
current one to upgrade to an 8970 if it's out by then i can't speculate on
upcoming products so i don't know how an 8970 is going to perform i don't know
how much it's going to cost so i can't advise you on that if you're not happy
with your 7970 now maybe try another one if you are happy with it then hold off i
mean that's all i can really say when people ask me is it time to upgrade and
i just say look are you happy with your system are you not happy with your system
oh heavy heavy heavy okay heavy we have a lecture to give you
heavy hdx says i have a core 2 quad and
4 gigs of ddr2 what do you think about buying a ddr3 socket 775 board and
putting 8 gigs of RAM in it heavy
lga 775 processors were not even remotely optimized for ddr3 in fact
since lga 775 we haven't seen a
significant performance increase on the Intel side of things
from increasing RAM speed or increasing RAM bandwidth even lga 1366 and 2011
have almost no benefit in many applications in real world
applications from going from dual channel memory you can install dual
channel memory to triple to quadruple when we went from ddr2 to ddr3 we also
added an integrated memory i mean even even the lg 775 processors they saw
almost zero performance impact going from ddr2 to ddr3 remember ddr3 even
more dramatically than what ddr2 did added a phenomenal amount of latency to
the memory interface yes it's more bandwidth but the latency is higher so
it's almost a trade-off do not do it unless it's like super cheap unless
someone like like gave you a ddr3 board
i mean ddr3 is cheap so the advantage is if you could find a ddr3 board for like
50 bucks then the difference in price between buying four more gigs of ddr2
versus eight gigs of ddr3 and i don't know you do the math but that might be a
way to uh that might be a way to sort of justify it but you're not going to see a
performance increase unless you need more RAM i have people commenting on my
shirt this is like my favorite shirt ever i actually have two of them so i
got this at a badminton tournament so it doesn't say every day i'm shuffling it
says every day i'm shuttling and see he has badminton birdies for feet and then
he has a badminton racket for his uh for his hand there so every day i'm
shuttling and i actually have two of them and i i love this shirt and i am not
taking it off again because i i think you guys saw enough of my nipples
earlier in this live stream
nathan asks which would you pick the new samsung 9 series 27 inch pls or the new
ASUS 27 inch pls you know what i don't have experience with the new samsung 27
inch or do i yes i do that's the one with the full
glass front i just wish it was touch screen
you know what for the difference in price i'm gonna go with the ASUS that's
the p uh pbs 2 7 something q or something like
that it's amazing i love that monitor and
because it doesn't have a glossy screen it has a matte screen pls panel
very little input leg motion blur i couldn't feel it which is sort of the
only subjective way i have of measuring it now i
love that ASUS monitor it's outstanding so go with the ASUS one it's great
please Linus d x t o r y d x tree is way
better than fraps the difference from recording is like 1fps okay i haven't validated this i don't know but victor
says it so there you go hi again would you recommend the Corsair
sp 2500 for music and gaming yes i am using Corsair sp 2500s i actually had an
onkyo receiver and then i had a couple of very premium cap speakers that i was
using for my audio setup on my gaming machine before
and uh and i was so impressed with the corsairs that i actually didn't really
notice that much of a difference when i moved my onkyo setup downstairs to where
my tv is and i took the calves and then i and i used the corsairs on my on my
main machine so it's awesome i'm super impressed with the
2500s they actually like i i wish more people bought them because as you guys
know i'm i'm not like a complete audio nerd i'm not into like changing the you
know the op amps on my sound cards and i don't i don't get into like the 500
headphones and i have like six pairs of them depending on what kind of music i'm
listening to i'm not that sophisticated but i do believe
in reasonable quality audio and on-board sucks and
99 of pc speaker sucks you know if anyone here who ever heard monsoon
mm-2000s like raise your hand i bought
the last set of mm-2000s these were
gorgeous flat panel speakers they were about this thin it was a 4.1 setup and i
returned them to the store for logitech z680s
and it was like the saddest thing ever so get this get this i returned them to
the store they were super reluctant about it because they were the last ones they had yeah bptes says i have mm-2000s
you have them from 1999 they're amazing yes they are okay so i returned them to
the store and i bought z680s i regretted it so much they were so boomy the base
was so ugly the flat panel sounds so good and i uh
i tried to return the z680s i bought them because they were digital and they
were 5.1 and i was fine
i bought into the hype you guys i bought into the hype everyone was a noob at
some point i was a nude back then and when i went back to the store that i
bought the monsoons at london drugs actually i went back there
they were like oh we don't i tried to buy them again i wanted to buy them back
because what bothered me about them is they had a bit of a hiss from them and
they were 4.1 anyway they had thrown them away because
monsoon had gone out of business i had no way to obtain these speakers ever
again and they had thrown them in a dumpster after i returned them because
of like they just didn't have anything to
do with them and i was like really
so then i was stuck with the z680s until then i ended up blowing just a ton of
money on my clips promedia ultra 5.1 those were
awesome speakers they were the best pc
speakers and i'd say that without really this is not open for debate not
open for debate the clips for media ultra 5.1 were the best speakers mine
did not have the subwoofer issue so um mine ran 24 7 for three plus years
and i got a lot of use out of them and uh
i i actually just so that i would know so that i would know for sure i actually
bought some creative gigawatts s 700s
and i i auditioned them side by side because i wanted to know i had the best
possible experience and you know what the gigawatts satellites were actually
outstanding and maybe a little better than the eclipses but the clip sub was
just for 600 bucks it was untouchable
this kit was untouchable and then it wasn't until i i had to get rid of my
klipsch's long story but then i upgraded to my omkios and now now i'm back to the
uh the corsairs the corsairs are great and i became more of a headphone guy
because i moved in with this is kind of embarrassing but i lived with my wife's
parents for like three years so i moved into
their house which meant i couldn't crank my clipses or anything that i had set up
so i ended up becoming a headphone guy and then i got my uh my sennheiser
hd555s and then i moved on to my current
favorite headphone set um and again like
i said i don't really get into the 500 stuff but these are the steelseries 7hs
these are hands down like i would say
five to ten times better in terms of audio quality than any
gaming headset i'm going to let that sink in for a
moment i'm going to have people saying
what about the 7.1 psychos or 5.1 or
whatever they are you know what surround headphones are not not a good experience
because you're better off with bigger drivers than lots of little tinny ones
okay so forget about your surround headphones um
and why this what about the carcarius or the
this or that or the siberia v2 where do
people keep hearing that siberia v2s are
good headphones where is this misinformation coming from
okay we're going back to twitter here i want you guys to explain to me if you
have heard that siberia v2s are good headphones where you heard that from
great headset comfortable mike's great retractable mic is a great feature they
look fantastic but
the sound quality is terrible it's worth the extra i think it's only an extra 20
30 bucks to get the seven inches they're a little heavier they're not as
comfortable they don't have those big ear pieces they have that fragile micro
usb thing going on here but if you're careful with it mine are fine i've been using them for over two years now
but the sound quality is night and day
it is so much better so we're going we're going to the we're going to the
twitter boards oh come on guys this isn't even related
to what i asked at minus tech on twitter
you guys aren't even asking answering my questions okay we're going to go back to
the siberias we're going to go back to siberia later so 7h are awesome and then
the other great solution is getting something like a sennheiser five five fives or and people keep telling me that
um uh there's there's a couple of other
brands i can't remember the life of me right now but uh no pc350 do not like pc350 i'm
sorry my wife loves the pc350s i am not sold on pc 350 at all i haven't heard
the 360s apparently they're a lot better but um
oh human plow is leaving bye i will
finish this on youtube i'm actually very sorry to hear that i love it when you
guys tune in live because it's it's much more interactive and it's it like pops
up my ego that you guys that you guys tune in so uh
yeah oh yeah audio technica thank you that's the brand that people keep
telling me i have no experience with them though so i don't really know what to tell you guys but yeah right the
other solution is getting a pair of headphones and then getting like a desktop microphone or like a clip-on
microphone that you can put on your shirt or whatever else so that's uh that's all good
all right so what about astros okay
they're good for reasons other than sound avery you're correct they are comfortable the mic is great and they're
a good value they're very light but i'm all about sound quality
personally
you know what i'm not sold on the g600 i haven't played it around with it enough
but it feels a little laggy on my 30 inch really the test of a mouse for me
and this could be just the weirdest thing ever
but i find the higher resolution panel i'm using it on the more noticeable any
kind of legginess or inaccuracy is and i
love the g9x i am like a logitech guy
when it comes to peripherals here's my g15 gen 1 gen 1 you guys g15 gen 1 was a
beast keyboard i bought three because i never wanted to run out of gen 1 g15s i
still use them for like secondary applications and all that but i'm not
that sold on the g600 yet give me more time okay give me more time and i will
play around with it some more and i will come back with some kind of commentary
on it okay guys uh can you give me any stream okay stream
tips on this build you know what brendan i'm sorry i can't look at builds right
now just because everyone has to watch
john from twitch praised the siberia v2s i hope john's tuned in tonight john
you're wrong and siberia v2s and psychos are terrible
so no friend who owned a pair hated the sound
quality yeah i have a question are the fans on the 650d good or should i replace them
no they're not good they're just stock case fans um i love Noctua fans Corsair
even has better higher end fans these days so yes there's lots of better
solutions out there they're horrible i use them now the mic
sucks you know what there's probably something wrong with your sound setup other than that because the siberia v2s
do have a good mic i i guarantee it if you have a good sound
card you have to get oh ask doctor stupid that there's
there's some there's some sort of something fitting for you guys ask dr
stupid says something about beats being the best headphones but he's he's just
trolling whoever said that x-rayed says can you make a motorcycle
video i made a motorcycle video once i did an unboxing of my motorcycle
so uh so that was that was a long time ago that was back when i got it
wow we've got quite a turnout tonight in spite of the errors earlier on in the
stream we've got 1700 people watching so let's take a minute here guys and just
thank you so much for tuning in to the stream this is this is this is
outstanding you guys are you guys are actually just the best
um and and you know what else i noticed is
ever since i uploaded that you know thank you for 200 000 subscribers my
subscriber rate has actually gone like this so you guys are i don't know what
you guys are doing but you're spreading the word and you're like you know
bringing people into the channel so yep
it's awesome everything is awesome so you guys you guys are amazing i know i'm
behind on my tweets and i'm sorry but you know actually there's been a lot of
stuff going on lately and things are things are crazy
jose says does ncix sell that capture card yes ncix does sell that capture
card it's the gamer game live gamer hd
um foxington fox what is my server hardware specs i've done videos about that so if
you search for a minus personal server you should be able to come up with some
of the videos i've done while um about my server
stevie not being able to sleep and catching the live stream thank you for tuning in
stevie that is amazing 6 a.m and he's still awake watching the
livestream like i said i have i have like the best followers you guys are
amazing because i know i know that actually for probably here we're gonna
we're gonna lose twitter for a second here i know that for probably 90 percent
of you guys this time slot is terrible but there's
really nothing i can do about it my wife wants me on the weekends which i
understand and then i work nine to five well
more like you know sort of 9 30 10 to like seven or eight which means i don't
get home until this um however sometime in the future i will
find a way to switch to like an afternoon my time because late night my
time means that on the east coast of north america you guys are screwed
because by the time i finish my live stream it's like 1 30. sorry guys europe
you guys are screwed because you're just waking up and you don't want to get up
at six i mean you know all you guys who are tuned in you guys are awesome but i
know you don't want to get up at six to tune into the livestream the only ones
who it works for again yeah tom tomcam here
oh sorry wrong one tom cam here in the twitch chat says yeah well it's 358 in
melbourne yeah i was just gonna say the one demographic that this works for is
the viewers in australia and then i don't think i have a ton of uh viewers
in asia but uh but yeah the viewers in australia this works for them but
everyone else pretty much gets the shaft on this starting time so at some point
i'll move it and uh we'll figure out a way to make that work for you for
everyone all right
says i don't know if i did that right 14 milliseconds for an ips monitor is good
enough for gaming or will i have very hard ghosting you
know what that spec is probably meaningless best thing is find other
people who have that exact monitor ask them what they think
find out if it's going good for them because the spec is measured a lot of
different ways totally meaningless so that's the only way to know for sure
adam lee says i have two 550 ti's only difference is vram one and two gig
there's no option for sli like i said um
on i think uh one of my previous videos you need matching cards for sli that
means the same GPU and although in theory i've seen evidence from like i've
seen NVIDIA posts at some point this was years ago though that you can sli
mismatched memory cards the last time i tried it was with an 8800 gts 320 and an
8800 gts 640 these were identical cards saved for
the amount of RAM and i wasn't able to enable sli so my personal experience is
that it doesn't work jonathan you better not be doing that
that is not cool man not cool man
hey amentha says hey from edmonton hey from edmonton too i guess uh i guess
it's good to be in edmonton this year because we uh the vancouver the
vancouver canucks don't have to kick the oilers butt so hard and hockey for the
entire season and i just lost a viewer from edmonton
but seriously guys i mean i don't know how many canadians there are here but
this is the third work stoppage that we've had in the nhl
the third work stoppage in the nhl since gary bettman has been commissioner and i
personally am like super steemed up about this i know you guys did not tune
in for sports talk radio that is not what you're into but come on okay so a
few different things if you guys aren't in canada or you don't care and you're
not familiar with the lockout okay so basically
there's a collective bargaining agreement back in 2004 that everyone
signed okay the league signed the player signed
okay now it's renegotiation time and the
league that the players made a lot of concessions last time the league is
basically going okay whatever share of the profits you guys were getting before
we're cutting that i think it's about by 20 so it's a huge cut from the players
because we have to control the expenditures and the cost the league is making more money than they ever have
before they're doing great as a whole yes some teams aren't doing well but you
know what maybe it's time to man up be like the nfl and implement revenue
sharing from the premium teams that are doing really well to the dog teams that
aren't doing really well okay so maybe that's the solution league's doing great
as a whole so this time around they're saying okay yeah well no no we can't afford to pay
you this much now here's the kicker here's what kills me about this whole thing
in the time between the end of last season and the lockout commencing we had
huge huge mega contracts being signed with
players we're talking like huge long-term contracts worth 20 30 50
million dollars can't remember the details i just remember that i was super
mad about it because here are the owners and the league saying oh we have to
control player salary so we have to cut down how much we can pay the players in
order to reach an agreement here and then here's the here's on the other hand
they're saying oh here's a whole bunch of money to aging players and
we so do you want to keep your payroll under control do you not want to keep
your payroll under control i don't know what the answer is but we're going back to tech because hockey's stupid and
there's no hockey and this year and that makes me very sad but it gives me more
time for benchmarking video cards so i guess it worked out for all of us
moving right along here so sorry for the hockey rant for those of you who aren't
interested in hockey Linus i see you have a sonar sense in
your rig and i'm planning to get one but why are you using the pc350 headset
because i hate it because i don't like it because the zonar sense is a great
sound card and the pc350 my wife is using because she has funny shaped ears
and it fits on her head or something so there you go
all right twitter questions heavyhd says i love when someone
responds to my tweets and live streams you're welcome i recently bought an agility for 128 gig
and i'm only getting around 250 megabyte reads and write that's probably about right actually agility for 128 gig
especially once you fill it up more than half is not that fast of a drive um the
the interlinks controller marvel controller that's powered by
interlink's firmware is um not as fast once the drive gets more
full as it is when the drive is empty something to be aware of uh jamie when
do you think Thunderbolt is going to be coming to the pc can you explain why
it's still absent on the pc jamie my main man
Thunderbolt is here
i have done like six videos about it check this out you can get a Thunderbolt
enabled motherboard from MSI for is this is this the cheap one yeah i
think this is the one for under 200 now Thunderbolt MSI motherboard under 200
it's so new there isn't a picture this is a brand new sku 77016 on ncix z77a
g45 Thunderbolt Thunderbolt is here and
Thunderbolt may actually end up coming in handy for me because i think in order
to capture the kind of um the kind of
1080p and 4k streams i'm going to want to do i'm going to need like multiple wd
dual Thunderbolt enclosures with velociraptors in them i'm going to need
to raid 0 a whole whack of them and
things are going to get crazy uh can you give a shout out to north van
i can shout out to north end oh you know what
i promised i promised someone who
actually requested and this doesn't happen that often but someone requested
that i autograph something for them and send it to them
and they're in like europe or something so i
was just like oh you know what i don't think it's realistic for me
to to autograph something and ship it there i mean you know it's really cool
that you asked and i'm super flattered and all of that but i promised that i would give a shout
out in this live stream
to my very special viewer
hold on where is it where is it
here we go michael
warhol he's from poland and i promised i would
give a big shout out to michael thank you for watching tech tips michael and
all of that good stuff and that goes along with my shout out to northvan
Linus i have 269 50 soon to be three oh please don't add a third one do you
think i should upgrade to dual 7970s yes two cards is always better than three in
much the same way that one card is usually better than two no pin do you get poison ivy Linus well
when i walk around and poison ivy yes i do
i have another question that wireless is that wireless headset good oh okay
Corsair 2000 wireless headset if you want a wireless headset actually it's
about as good as i could recommend it's a great value for the price the usb
sound card is probably better than your crappy on-board sound but not nearly as
good as a dedicated sound card but for the convenience of wireless not a bad
value at all what's a better case the 600t or the 650d i love the look of the
650d the 600t is probably a little bit cooler in terms of temperatures and
probably a little bit easier to build in but personally i'd go 650d because i'm
all about aesthetics sr2 versus srx which one to get don't get either of
them get a 2011 board like a proper single socket 2011 board or get an lga
1155 board the cpus for those sockets cannot be overclocked which means you
will get more performance unless you're doing like heavy workstation usage out
of a desktop board what power supply would you recommend for this
configuration right here i would recommend probably in the
neighborhood of a good quality 850-1000 watt power supply something like a high
current pro 1000 platinum or an xfx 1000
platinum basically you want efficiency you want about 850 to 1000 watts for a
configuration like that building a new pc single 680 or 2660
ti's an sli 2660 ti is an sli 660 ti is
so close to 670 and 680 in performance and so much less in price that it's
actually an outstanding value
just now you said about platform and socket what would you recommend for people who are building a performance pc
year end middle of next year no idea for middle of next year i can't remember
when haswell's coming out but year-end now build an lg 1155 system
peyton says give me my boyfriend back
that's a very strange thing to say
who is your boyfriend i'm really curious now
alex says what are your thoughts on how fraps compares to xsplit they're totally
different xsplit is for streaming xsplit is what i'm using to broadcast this live
video based on an HDMI input to my broadcasting pc to my viewers all around
the world fraps is for recording something to a hard drive and then doing
something with it later totally totally different
uh separate your audio stream from HDMI so we can still hear them when your video stream is hidden yes i can look
into doing that next week alternately what i can do is i can kind of cheat and
i can just throw the video in the background of the desktop capture
one so you can't see it but the audio will still be there so we'll figure out
something something will work don't worry guys um oh her boyfriend is
watching my live stream i understand now
uh what does overclocking rem do who's your favorite pony i had a pony growing
up his name was bobby he's probably dead now but
he he will always be my favorite bobby was a white pony and was awesome
oh stew wakowski Linus i'm still running
on my old socket 478 pentium 4. thoughts
on the AMD 3870k as an upgrade okay stu first things first don't get fm1 get an
fm2 board and CPU because you will have an upgrade path fm1 is a dead platform
and second of all an apu will be an excellent upgrade path for you if you're
planning on using the onboard graphics if you're not planning on using the onboard graphics an older phantom 2 or
a lower end fx chip is going to be an awesome option as well or even something
like a core i3 seth asks do you think resolutions past
2560 by 1600 will be available soon i sure hope so seth
i sure hope so because
i really really want higher resolution panels
and i mean the technology is there if they can do this kind of pixel density
then why can't they just do a bigger one i'll pay for it i mean an ipad screen
isn't even expensive so if we just kind of went okay so you know well 4x or 6x
the size and then the yields will go down by this much and
you know it'll cost a thousand dollars or 2 000 i actually don't care if you
can deliver me a 4k 30 inch monitor here
any manufacturer is watching this stream tonight if you guys can deliver me a 4k
30 inch monitor i will personally commit to spending 2 500 on one
because i want one so there bam
ah should i upgrade my two velocity raptors to two ssds
which SSD um lots of good choices right now samsung 830 is a great choice the
new 840 pro is coming that's an awesome choice
um vertex 4 is a great choice crucial m4 is
a great choice these are all great choices and you don't even need two ssds
to replace your two velociraptors because one velociraptor will destroy
your rather one one SSD will destroy
your two velociraptors you are going to wonder how you ever tolerated
velociraptors and you might not notice right away but
you'll notice when you go back and try to use velociraptors
i have problems with molex plugs to control my fans jared the problem is
that you're using molex plugs to control your fans you're going to want to get
like in-line 3-pin resistors or a fan
controller in order to control your fans gary says do you recommend the gtx 660
ti from MSI or the galaxy 3 gate i know that the MSI is triple overvolting
first of all if you watched last week's live stream you'll know that the triple
overvolting has gotten pretty complicated now
and then the other thing is whether you need three gigs or not really depends on
the resolution you're running three gigs is not going to be useful unless you're
running like 2560 by 1440 or you're running multiple 1080p panels
kyle have you seen the murderbox murder mod do you have any plans of making a
tgf7 like them no i'm more of a simple guy i'm just kind
of drumming holes in my tj07 and then i'm just gonna powder coat it and call
it a day i'm too cheap for that however i don't
know if you've seen the new mk3 that charles has uh has brought into
this world but it is amazing murderbox mk3 i think i think
that's what it's called here it is so this case
costs something ludicrous like i think
it's like well over a thousand dollars it's like 1500 or something like that
but it's just amazing modular drive structure assembly printed circuit board
for distributing power and data to all of your drives it's got like a really
unique top girl i've seen one of these in person i actually saw the prototype
one at ces last year it's got the serpentine thing going down the back
it's just oh it's awesome and who's asking if i'm using internet explorer
this is firefox get over yourself um
yeah it's it's awesome so basically it's a tj07 but modded at the factory level
by by charles the the murder guy so
so there you go
um so yeah i love it but there's no way i'm uh there's no way i'm gonna spend
the money i guess to to go for that but hey
yeah joel says it's okay to eat while you livestream you know what
you guys look think of it this way
i have almost 1800 people now tuning in
to watch me do something that hopefully is
entertaining i owe it to you guys to pay
attention so that you have my full and undivided attention
during that time okay so i'm not gonna do that you guys i'm
gonna take twitter questions for the rest of the night so if you guys aren't interested in twitter questions then
i guess you can tune out now but i hope i hope you guys are interested
jared usb headset better than on board yes
however solutions like this are awesome this is the zona u3 so this is just a
little usb sound card if you're using a laptop that you can't add a sound card
to or if you don't want to invest a ton of money into a proper sound card this
is a great solution it actually has an amped output um i mean not not i think
it's up to good to up to 150 ohm resistance for the uh
for the um headphones it has a great microphone in
very clean great solution um but yes the usb headset is better
alvin says what is good for editing video cards priority for the processor
first then the graphics card okay couple things if you're using adobe you want a
cuda capable graphics card diesel taught me this you must have cuda because it
does real time acceleration for all kinds of great stuff in adobe you don't
even need a workstation card so priority number one make sure you got a cuda card
priority number two well almost priority one slash two for both of these beast
CPU because video encoding video exporting from video editing
applications is still heavily CPU dependent you also need boatloads of RAM
at least 16 gigs of RAM in a 1080p
reasonably high-end editing machine where you're doing any kind of after effects
32 gigs even preferred but 16 gigs should be should be great um and then
finally if i was going to do a final upgrade i would go to a quadro card with
a um with a full high
whatever it is full spectrum whatever more color depth so quadro cards can
output deep color and then you can get monitors that have eight bit panels in
them so that you can actually see to a greater degree of accuracy what you're
working on so that's where i would get into a
more professional editing setup
i'm in ontario canada computers is beating ncx prices 80 of the time will
you guys price match absolutely ncix price matches every day all day all the
time walk in show them the price on the computer
done they'll price match it for you dragon says what do you think of the
flex store and five ssds they're outstanding again i'm sorry i missed
them i should have mentioned them great options plextor has done an amazing job
of optimizing their firmwares so i don't know if you guys know this but plex
store is a major manufacturer and they are
all about qc i mean even going back to optical drives plex store was all about
the best quality so their ssds are outstanding so there you go joe what are
the specs of your streaming pc oh funny you should ask okay it's got a 2500k
that i've overclocked just a little bit in a shuttle z68 it's got eight gigs of
RAM and it's got um two HDMI capture cards
i'm using onboard video because i want to at some point okay i'm really excited
about this so right now we're doing a single camera realistically for this live show once we
get you know a proper set now that we've got a camera i want two HDMI streams
coming in i want a dual camera setup so we have a lock shot just a single sort
of fixed camera angle there and then we can have like a floating camera man who
can we can have guests and they can come get different angles and they can come
look at close-ups of what i'm looking at and that's what i really want i want
more like a broadcast experience from the live streams here so that's why i
went with dual capture cards and a reasonably beefy pc but i still haven't
figured out how i'm going to get all of that data off of the computer i mean i
might end up with uh like an e SATA output to like a tower
for for one of the streams and then a usb 3 output to a tower for the other i
don't know how i'm going to do that we'll get to that we'll get to that what about the razer tmat the razer teammate
is a gaming headset i haven't heard it it might be great but i just sort of doubt it
david do you think there will be more multi-touch desktop monitors absolutely
i am super excited about desktop multi-touch monitors i did another
episode of ncis tech tips that will be coming out soon with the acer 10-point
multi-touch monitor just a guide on the gestures you can use in Windows 8. i am
just super excited about the whole touchscreen
experience nathaniel says i'm a toronto fan so it
doesn't really bother me uh oh i think he's talking about the hockey talk uh
but anyways do you have recommendations for routers um right now i'm using an ea
4500 with the non-cisco cloud firmware super happy with it
um although wd's new mynet routers look
very exciting especially the 900 series with the on the fly adaptive um quality
quality of service i haven't actually tried it yet though so
give me a little while and i will try it out and i'm uh yeah i'm super super
excited to try that out um so those are the two that i would sort of look at you
can't go wrong with linksys it's just yeah you can't go wrong connor
says when do you think they'll make OLED monitors connor not soon enough
i want my 4k 30 inch OLED monitor and
i'm super excited i'm just i'm so sad
that canon scd never made it i mean this
was exciting stuff canon was developing this in collaboration with someone it
was supposed to bring yes the scd's dead thanks a lot for that surface or
something whatever they had prototypes it was going to be as thin as lcd at the
time it was going to have the response times of crt the contrast ratios the
colors of crt and it was like yeah matrix of tiny
cathode ray tubes it was too expensive it never happened and i'm just
oh i read about that and i was so excited i wanted scd so bad and i'm yeah
OLED is is what i'll settle for
i have two 560 ti and two slides should i upgrade to a single 60 you know you
will have a better gaming experience on the single 680
um however i'd probably go for a slightly better value go with the 670
you'll still get a great experience uh gary i have no experience with the
360s unfortunately i've heard they're way better all right matthew let's check out your
tnj07 i don't usually indulge wow that looks really nice
this is a great build when i have a forum we're gonna have to have like a
poster build section so you guys can all just check out the they have like
fantastic and awesome builds that uh that you all do so we're gonna
let's look at this a little bit bigger here really that's facebook's idea of oh
there we go okay well i'm seeing it in full screen but you guys are probably getting it cut off that is outstanding
great cable sleeving two gtx 680s lj 1155 platform which is
uh okay yeah allow full screen okay let's close that lj 1155 platform which
is smart um not what i ended up going with for my
sort of enthusiast class machine but it's smart you had all the performance
and that yeah that looks outstanding great build there's no way i'm putting
that much work into mine i love the uh i i love the clean mid plate but i'm just
kind of looking at it going like ah i can get one cut i can get it powder
coated after i drill some holes and stuff but i'm just
i upgrade my rig so often and i'm always tinkering around with it but it's
actually more work than it's worth for me to have tubes like routed through
holes and stuff so i'm just going to leave the stock midplate
ash wants to know is it even possible to have a resolution of 2560 by 1600 that
runs on 120 hertz the problem right now is dvi dvi can't carry any more
than uh 10 1920 by 1200 120 hertz or
2560 by 1660hz so displayport will have
a way for us to uh to to make things more better
foxington fox do you think that dual socket is worth it for rendering video
etc um it can be but you've got to be working on really high-end stuff in
order for that to start to make a difference what do you think about the 558s haven't
tried them unfortunately sorry man best gaming headset price no object 7h
same answer as before what do you think about two caviar black
hard drives in raid 0 not for holding vital info just for speed you're not
going to get a great speed experience out of it man i'm sorry SSD is the way to go for speed
people who think that hard drives are almost as fast as ssds because of the
sequential megabyte per second ratings of them are kidding themselves it's not
about that at all not about that at all
so yes it's all about it's all about random which SSD is way better for
are you really running an agp video card i'm sorry man i'm very sorry to hear
that winforce 3 or twin frozen five hard to
say um part of the problem with these brandings so direct cu winforx and twin
frozer is that a lot of the time it's actually a different cooler on every
given card different number of heat pipes different fans what do you want me
to say um it comes down to the individual cards
it was my favorite my little pony you know i was never actually into my little pony i know i mentioned it from time to
time but i'm just joking is a 600hz tv
good for gaming not that i will go over 140 a 600hz tv is not a 600hz display um
and it's probably fine for gaming because the 600hz tv is bound to be a
pretty high end one unless it's a plasma in which case yes plasmas are great for
gaming the only disadvantage of plasma these days is that
it's um it's not as good in a bright environment
so you have to have a darker room test tester says i'm interested in this
youtube thing and i'm thinking about starting a channel can you give me tips
for that minus youtube tips my tip would be that
um what do i say without sort of being
discouraging how do you people ask me this all the
time how do i do this youtube thing and i don't have a good answer so
priority number one is however much energy you think you're
projecting amp it up by five times because there's
all those jokes about how the camera adds 10 pounds or you know takes off two
inches or whatever the camera does the camera tones down your energy level to
about a quarter or a tenth of what you're
actually doing if i were to talk the way i actually talk to a person like the way i talk to
someone in real life this is what i'd sound like i'd be like okay yeah hey
how's it going and this is this is how i talk to people it's not very interesting
you you people who you know put on their headset
mic and they're like yeah so on i'm doing a live stream right now i'm
streaming my gaming you know i ran across the bridge and oh man there was
like a troll underneath and the problem with the way you talk to
talk to a person is that it assumes that they are making eye contact with you
that they are engaging in your facial expressions and your your gestures and
that they can see the context of everything around you and it keeps them
engaged okay they're also there in person they can smell you they can hear
you they can see you they can use their senses when you're on video
when you're on video they don't have the benefit of all of
that every gesture has to be way bigger that's why on a stage or on a movie the
actors wear all this makeup like have you ever gone to a play and seen any of
the actors after the performance and when you see them up close they've got
like this mood caked onto their faces and their eyes are painted up like you
wouldn't believe because when you're further away when you don't have that
context you have to emphasize things so much
more for people to get the to get the point to get engaged to be excited to be
to be amped up the same way that you are so that's tip number one and that is not
a grow up this is a fig tree it's a fig tree it doesn't even it
doesn't even look like a marijuana plant this is the leaf
what are you talking about geez kids today that's what i say um
okay tip number two is you're not going to make it alone
for every jenna marbles there are
i mean at this point there's so many youtube users there's probably like for every jenna marbles there's probably a
million people who are getting 10 to 15 views on every video that they put up
the way that i made it was with a partnership so i had a
retailer that i was partnered with that gave me access to the hardware gave me
access to the equipment i needed i don't know if i could have done this 100
percent on my own or at least i wouldn't have the momentum that i have
so that's another thing is figure out partnerships don't try to do it alone
don't try and be like the lone wolf and no i don't watch jenna marbles i can't
stand her videos um i made it about a third of the way
through through one not that long ago and i was just kind of like okay so she
swear she's kind of crude um
she's a lot more popular than i am so you know full points for that that's
cool but it just it just doesn't really do it for me um i don't know i just yeah it
just didn't really do it for me okay so anyway that's that's all the
tips i have for youtube for tonight try to say my name matthias brandolini
that's not eat that's not hard for mattias matthias brandolini
i actually went to i went to school with a girl last name brandolini what do i
think of the trenton x pro i don't think much of it i think that you should get
the thing about audio is you want to go with a company that understands audio someone like sennheiser okay shout out
to matthew from australia but that's it for the shout outs no more shout outs tonight thomas asks what monitor i'm
using right now this is a samsung sync master 215 tw
super old but my personal philosophy anything but tn
the input lag on this thing is terrible it's hardly even usable but i hate tm
monitors i won't use them unless they're 120 hertz and they're 3d ready in which
case you don't really have a choice because there's nothing else
thomas says just got this error Windows detector hard drive failure i don't have
enough storage to back up till tomorrow what to do now shut down thomas shut
down right now and hope that it still works oh i'm
sorry twitter's not up there you go guys i hope that it stays working long enough
for you to sort of do okay
with that joseph when using quiet fans on a triple
rad is it better for the radiator to be thinner thicker does it really matter
you want the lowest restriction possible if you're looking for a quiet setup so
that means you either want a thick rad with very very loose fin spacing or you
want a thin rad so that uh you'll still be able to get air to move through the
radiator it's just not gonna get like stopped out right
okay please read which is your favorite 680 brand what do i think about evga gtx
680s a 680 is kind of a 680 for me until
they put on a custom cooler or throw some additional warranty support
at it or design a custom pcb i'm pretty
big into MSI's lightning carts love their lightning cards though it's hard
to go wrong with evga especially on their very high end cards where they still have lifetime warranties
so there you go curtains would you ever branch out into
gaming or any genre of gaming for your channels it'd be cool to see your hardware choices for games my hardware
choices are almost always
catered to gamers that's one of the reasons i'm here on twitch as opposed to
being somewhere else random because everything i talk about hardware wise is
all about the gaming experience i mean yeah i can give tips on things like
video editing or whatever else but
yeah i'm probably not going to do any game gameplay videos but it's possible
that slick will do some at some point my understanding is he's pretty good at dota
ah boston stapler Linus you should unbox upside down after you have read the info
so you don't have to flip the unboxed product to make it up right i've had a lot of people suggest that to me yes i
know i could do that the reason i do it the way i do it is because when i'm
storing the packages the handles are usually on the top of the box so if i
always have the top of the box open then i'll always have the handles in the right place for boxes where it doesn't
have handles and it doesn't matter it's just helpful for me visually to know
when i'm picking up a box which end is the end that's open so i always open up
the top as opposed to anywhere else
minus something being delayed something's being delayed
sorry guys i don't know what's being delayed i know there's i know that you
guys don't see the stream until sort of a little while later when when i when i
sort of see that you saw it but there's not a whole lot i can do about it
Linus what are your thoughts on microsoft surface i'm super excited about it very very excited
uh what SSD would i recommend 120 gig under 100 get an m4 or get an 8 30.
um have you ever
mistered a man of a mr man
wait a minute are you talking about uh hold on
i might actually know what you're talking about
i'm not sure if i know what you're talking about kenjiro
but uh i have i have a random stuff folder in my in my
photos here sorry large icons and i think i think i know i think i
know the thing you're talking about uh
okay no no not that one and then might be oh it might be this
one like this one hold on hold on i'm sorry guys bear with me here this won't
take long oh that's not it oh i might not be able
to find it but i think you can create like a mr man of yourself
on like the mr men website and i think that's what he's referring to
but i cannot find it alas so
yes i have then jolly
hello there installing a CPU water cooler for my friend any advice for a
first timer with water cooling with the pre-done kits it's really simple with
the non-pre-done kits watch my guide i did a four-part video that covers
selecting components installing it maintaining it all good stuff
will i ever tell my baby's name i haven't decided yet for now i'm keeping
his name quiet because you know as much as you guys might see baby pictures of
him on twitter or whatever else i you know i don't want him to be in a
situation where he goes to kindergarten and like
you know people sort of know who he is already and it's kind of weird
so uh yeah
um yeah that was that was a picture of my
wife guys that's not that's not a that's not a porn stash that's that's my wife
that's an old picture of her that's when she was in uh she was in high school
super super photoshopped but uh yes no lies and hey inappropriate whoever was
saying that be appropriate
you guys
um slick did slick actually create a twitch
channel i don't i don't know if this is actually him it looks like he's following me but
it could be it could be anybody following johnny chu i don't know if
that's actually slick you should tweet him tweet him at slickpc to find out if
that's actually him but if it is then cool vincent green's from delta i grew up in
delta actually in ladner and i think we're almost done so i'm gonna find one
more fantastic question to answer for you guys can we see how okay this this
one i'll do okay can we see how fast you can do the abcs in asl
i'm really slow
there that's how fast i can do them in asl i used to be a lot faster
um okay i want to upgrade to something something

not if they don't know about it um
Linus do you think motherboard atx evga did one board with the atx pin uh at a
right angle i don't think it matters personally i don't think it's a factor
uh get the lightning brandon
i can play battlefield 3 at 1080p on high with a ti
yes a 650 time would probably bump you up to ultra
real life differences between dvi variations no difference
uh actually i did i did a display i did a display thing
youtube.com hold on uh ncix dvi vga something like that i
think that yeah display interfaces roundup with 163 000 views i talk about
all the differences in all the different display

a lot about some snowball thing but i've never actually used it
jordan you are forgiven for insulting how short i am

but they're extremely expensive yes they are expensive but they are good laptops
lewis yes this is madness tyrone asks if i've ever been to jail no i have not
actually um that's a very strange question
have you seen the leap motion i vaguely remember something about it but i'm
sorry what are your thoughts on the vulcans versus the 7h
vulcans are awesome the noise cancellation is outstanding the vulcans
are the closest to the 7h that i've yet encountered
they're awesome they're a little bit heavy i personally find them not as
comfortable as the 7hs the audio quality is not quite as good but the sound
isolation is amazing outstanding
very good product um
angel you can donate your macbook pro to me i'd love to have a 2010 macbook pro
i'd install Windows on it mind you but you know
um dolly what do i use to do my watts up
a wall i use a little power meter i got it at canadian tire it was like 30 bucks
um what reservoir are you using i'm using a t-virus reservoir for my
personal rig um no i'm not planning to be at the
Radeon extravalenza but you guys should definitely check it out so it's uh AMD

all of the uh of the um esther was asking me for some advice on finding uh
findings an assistant and i was like okay well here's all the applications i
received and i i actually saw your application i was going through and i
was like oh yeah you know maybe i should give her these and see if she wants to
get in touch with some of these guys because these are the guys that i already filtered down to be like the
best of the best and everyone i interviewed was
outstanding to be perfectly honest but uh hey that's awesome hi chris
chris i actually interviewed for slick's position but slick uh
slick one out for you know and it was honestly it was really close it was like
i was uh it was really hard making some of the calls for the people that i
thought were were really good and i couldn't uh i couldn't hire them john my favorite
switches are blues however they're a little bit loud for my living situation
with a baby so i'm using blacks right now for my favorite mechanical switches
not a big fan of the razer black widow keyboards um they're great on paper but
i just using them keyboards are so personal don't like the travel distance
and i don't like the overall feel of the keyboard not my favorite
