WEBVTT 00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:07.920 well I can only hope this is working because honestly it's been of a bit of a 00:00:06.359 --> 00:00:12.960 been a bit of a challenge to set up tonight uh I had to move locations and 00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:18.279 I've completely changed the way that I'm doing the whole live capture thing so 00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:22.320 traditionally I mean I can't really call it traditional if I've only really been 00:00:20.119 --> 00:00:26.320 doing this for a month but traditionally I've been using a shuttle PC actually 00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:32.559 I'm going to go I'm going to go find it because I'm like super mad at this 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:36.239 computer right now not impressed at all 00:00:32.559 --> 00:00:40.079 so I have been using sorry for the 00:00:36.239 --> 00:00:43.559 noise this shuttle PC this is a 00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:47.199 uh uh oh some phones going off right 00:00:43.559 --> 00:00:51.480 here this one so this is a z68 shuttle 00:00:47.199 --> 00:00:54.239 PC it's got dual PCI Express slots so 00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:59.800 it's got a 16x and a 4X so I was like oh this is brilliant so I can just make 00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:01.719 like a like a dual HDMI capture PC and 00:00:59.800 --> 00:01:07.439 then and like it'll be awesome because it'll be super portable and like awesome 00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:10.080 and stuff and what ended up happening is 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:15.520 with my black magic intensity Pro HDMI capture cards uh yeah it was it was 00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:22.200 causing blue screens it was causing just general incompatibility like I would I 00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:24.520 would know that I had the settings right 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:29.960 and then it just wouldn't work at all and it ended up that the problem was 00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:36.680 actually the just some kind of maybe a PCIe timing incompatibility or something 00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:38.880 like that and it just did not work so 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:43.479 what I did was I threw the two capture cards into a 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:51.360 different motherboard in this case it's an ap8 z77 V premium and everything is 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:52.920 working 100% fine and I really hope that 00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:56.719 this stream is working this is my first time checking on Twitch to make sure 00:01:54.479 --> 00:02:03.719 it's actually going and it looks like it is so yay excellent um um crank up the 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:09.399 volume crank up the volume is is that a consensus crank up the volume and yes 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:13.200 I'm sorry I'm late guys I'm very sorry I 00:02:09.399 --> 00:02:15.879 yeah was having some trouble that was 00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:22.519 not good okay some people are saying volume is good some people are saying 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:25.120 volume is low so I'm going to go ahead 00:02:22.519 --> 00:02:28.560 and turn it up a little bit I'm just going to turn up a little bit turn up a 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:33.760 little bit okay just a little bit I'm just going to go over here I'm adjust 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.879 the camera audio level here we go let's 00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:39.680 turn it up that much 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:45.720 okay all right so I'm going to try talking again how's that sound to you 00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:48.159 guys do we good we good all right yes I 00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:52.879 know there's an echo you know what too bad there's nothing I can do I'll all my 00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:57.080 ears people are either saying bad okay you know what forget it you guys I'm leaving it the way it is just turn your 00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:01.080 volume down it's really hard um 00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:10.440 what was I saying right yes I know the echo is terrible I'm 100% aware of that 00:03:07.480 --> 00:03:15.200 trust me the reason that the echo is terrible is that the room I'm in has 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:21.440 okay you know I'm just going to I'm just going to go over to the camera here I'm going to show you guys the room I'm in 00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:25.080 and hopefully I'll be able to actually fix the here I'm just going to change 00:03:22.959 --> 00:03:30.280 the camera completely to auto mode because I know nothing of how cameras 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:34.599 work I can't I can't even I can't even find the I can't even find 00:03:31.959 --> 00:03:39.080 the auto mode button yeah there it is camera auto mode okay so I'm going to 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:43.040 show you guys the room that I'm in I'm actually going to turn this way so this 00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:51.239 is a bare wall this is a hardwood floor these 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:53.760 things are bad for Echo very bad that's 00:03:51.239 --> 00:03:57.720 my drying machine and that's my cat carrier Rumble had to go to the vet 00:03:55.200 --> 00:04:03.040 today he's been throwing up so uh that's not good here's like video setion 00:04:03.040 --> 00:04:09.640 um here's my light here is the room that's on the 00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:15.840 other side of the camera so if you guys have watched any of my recent videos you 00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:17.680 may recognize you know this table and uh 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:24.840 there's always gear sort of lying around here this table and this fireplace and 00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:24.840 uh 00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:30.840 um couches so yeah see these though bare 00:04:28.880 --> 00:04:36.160 walls and see that looks like a carpet but ah 00:04:34.280 --> 00:04:41.600 more hardwood flooring so the problem with hardwood flooring is that it is 00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:48.160 very terrible for Echo so I had a lot of people suggest in the video that I uh 00:04:45.440 --> 00:04:53.680 that I uploaded before with uh with the with the new set that I wear a lapel mic 00:04:51.320 --> 00:05:00.479 and what those people apparently didn't seem to notice is that I was wearing a 00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:02.039 LEL mic so while I appreciate the 00:05:00.479 --> 00:05:06.840 suggestion hold on I'm just going to get the Focus right here while I appreciate 00:05:04.280 --> 00:05:12.160 the suggestion um what they should have noticed in all the high defa Glory that 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:18.600 was the uh the new style video setup I had a lapel mic on my shirt so the lapel 00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:22.319 mic does address the issue of 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:24.080 the uh of the sort of the echo because 00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:29.759 it's it's not a shotgun mic that's so far away from me but it does not address 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:35.199 the problem where if I'm turning to one side or turning to the other side the 00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:37.360 volume changes up and down so what I 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:41.759 really want to do is get a boom mic set up so that it can sit kind of just out 00:05:39.960 --> 00:05:48.080 of the shot right here so I can use a shotgun mic that's very close to me but 00:05:44.479 --> 00:05:50.240 then not have to worry about uh about 00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:55.919 which direction I'm facing exactly in order to get some kind of 00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:58.560 even lighting or even lighting even 00:05:55.919 --> 00:06:03.479 microphone sound going on sorry guys it has actually been the longest week ever 00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:09.080 and hopefully at some point I'll be able to share with you guys exactly exactly 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:14.120 what was going on but uh yes it's been very very tough um people are asking for 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:19.639 the warehouse sale preview so the only the only thing I can think of right now 00:06:17.039 --> 00:06:26.039 is that if I were to upload the warehouse sale preview then um I'm just 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:31.720 a little bit concerned that it will affect the 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:33.759 streaming here that's going on so why 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:37.919 don't we just try it and see what happens so the warehouse sale preview is 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:41.160 just on my SD card here you guys can you guys can come along for the ride if you 00:06:39.400 --> 00:06:45.360 want see this is my new way of switching between camera views see I can switch 00:06:43.039 --> 00:06:51.720 here so you can see I'm going to go into my SD card and I'm going to upload this 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:57.319 and you guys are going to have to let me know in the twitch chat hopefully if 00:06:54.919 --> 00:07:00.280 that just has totally destroyed the uh the 00:06:57.960 --> 00:07:05.440 streaming are we still good good are we still 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:09.240 good okay sweet looks like no one's 00:07:05.440 --> 00:07:12.800 complaining yet so NCIX October 20th 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:14.720 Warehouse sale 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:18.800 Extravaganza see this is this is how I upload videos it's uh it's actually not 00:07:17.039 --> 00:07:23.919 not rocket science this whole YouTube thing you just got to sort of keep added 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:30.879 and make lots and lots and lots of videos so 00:07:26.479 --> 00:07:33.400 visit this link for more W I spelled it 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:39.800 wrong for more details so I actually had a guest filmed 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:41.039 the the warehouse sale preview uh if you 00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:46.720 guys aren't familiar with what the warehouse sale is the warehouse sale 00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:49.479 basically refers to um once every 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:54.360 quarter or so trying to switch there we go once every quarter or so NC takes all 00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:58.720 the open box stuff and hopefully this gives you guys some idea what happens to 00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:03.919 some of the open box stuff that that I open up so they take all the open box 00:08:01.080 --> 00:08:08.960 stuff put it all into like a big room and then um sell it for like half price 00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:14.280 so people line up all night in fact I was there at 700 p.m. I was at the 00:08:11.159 --> 00:08:16.080 office today and people were already 00:08:14.280 --> 00:08:22.440 lined up for the warehouse sale which starts tomorrow morning so people get 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:24.280 super super excited about all this stuff 00:08:22.440 --> 00:08:28.680 uh people are asking how long the live stream is for the live stream is going 00:08:25.599 --> 00:08:32.360 to be until about 10:30 my time so it'll 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:34.200 be about an hour and a half so far why 00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:38.080 don't we take some time and do some do some Twitter questions so I'm not sure 00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:42.640 how well this is going to work tonight because I'm oh this is this is going to 00:08:40.560 --> 00:08:45.560 be this is going to be a problem okay you know what we're going to have to do 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:51.480 is we're going to have to rely on Twitter on this screen here because 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:54.120 because I'm using two computers to 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:58.480 capture as opposed to how I'm normally using a single computer to capture and 00:08:56.640 --> 00:09:04.880 use Twitter so see I I'm using this laptop for my own you um I I could not 00:09:02.880 --> 00:09:10.640 figure out a way like you can use xsplit to capture a portion of the 00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:17.600 screen on the computer that you're actually using but you cannot use xsplit 00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:20.279 to capture a portion of the screen uh or 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:25.120 a portion of a video in stream if you guys understand what I mean because I'm 00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:27.160 I'm using HTMI out on this notebook into 00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:33.360 a capture card on the computer over there and then what I would want to do 00:09:29.760 --> 00:09:35.920 is take the Twitter portion here which 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:39.120 you guys can see on the right and then draw a box around that and make it so 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:44.399 that I can overlay that on top of me sitting here and talking sort of like 00:09:41.680 --> 00:09:47.320 this except that that Twitter feed right there is actually on the computer over 00:09:45.880 --> 00:09:51.320 there which means I actually can't read it from here nor can I control it unless 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:55.120 I had a wireless keyboard M you know what a better solution might actually be 00:09:53.000 --> 00:10:00.880 instead of using a laptop here just get a wireless wireless keyboard and mouse 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:04.560 and a and a Monitor and sit here like that so that I can uh and then I'll just 00:10:02.640 --> 00:10:07.560 clone the displays and then I'll be able to monitor things more more closely I 00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:11.360 think that'll be a better solution in future but we're learning things every 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:14.440 week and at least we've got the awesome new camera to use I actually haven't 00:10:12.959 --> 00:10:20.240 done any fine tuning with the lights today I think I look a little bit washed out but I've got diesel coming over this 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:26.079 weekend and he's going to be giving me a big hand uh with all of the well fact 00:10:24.040 --> 00:10:30.320 that I don't know how to use a camera and he'll be he'll be getting everything 00:10:28.040 --> 00:10:36.720 all fixed everything you guys saw shot already so all of the uh all of like the 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:38.880 new set new set stuff so here let's just 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:44.360 go back to the YouTubes oh that's what happens if you 00:10:40.920 --> 00:10:45.959 spell YouTube wrong all right then I'm 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:50.279 lucky I didn't end up with like a porn website because I think that this live 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:54.680 stream is supposed to stay pretty uh pretty familyfriendly so if you guys 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:59.920 haven't already seen any of the new set footage yes I know it's not really my 00:10:58.079 --> 00:11:05.880 style and I know it's like kind of a little bit too professional 00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:07.519 for for a lot of the viewers tastes but 00:11:05.880 --> 00:11:13.160 um it's something that I that I do have to do for a variety of reasons which 00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:17.160 will become more clear later and uh it's something 00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:20.000 that yeah wow that just looks kind of that looks kind of terrible I'm going to 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:23.959 have to start wearing makeup which is which is sort of brutal it's something 00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:28.079 that I do want to continue to work on but I need a Diesel's help in order to 00:11:26.040 --> 00:11:33.200 get the production values right and in order to just kind of make it better in 00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:37.639 general uh we didn't have nearly as much time as I would have liked to spend on 00:11:34.800 --> 00:11:40.760 that Galaxy Note 10.1 video but what I'm going to try and do is play around with 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:44.800 it a little bit this week and I've actually got something really cool you 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:48.800 guys you guys might even you guys might even really like this check this out so 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:52.639 here's the power adapter super small power 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:57.920 adapter this is what I'll be playing around with this weekend this notebook 00:11:55.200 --> 00:12:01.800 carrying case is the ultimate accessory for your notebook you should buy no I'm 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:07.560 just kidding you shouldn't buy one today um what I do have though is a Windows 8 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:12.720 touchscreen notebook from Samsung this is a series 5 so what that means is that 00:12:10.680 --> 00:12:14.839 once you boot it up and hopefully the boot up time you know what let's find 00:12:13.760 --> 00:12:21.120 out how quick the boot up time is because that's one of the big things about Windows 8 is dramatically improved 00:12:18.560 --> 00:12:25.079 boot up times let's see if we can like see the camera through the screen oh is 00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:30.199 it done already oh it wants me to activate Windows okay go to PC settings 00:12:28.760 --> 00:12:33.920 and then maybe I'll just go away from PC settings haha then I can just use it so 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:39.240 this is the not Metro interface that's how quickly Windows 8 boots up this is a 00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:43.000 multi-touch touchscreen notebook one of the things I've noticed about it already 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:48.279 and I'm a little bit disappointed in is the viewing angle so what I find is that 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:52.600 really expensive touchscreen interfaces like the ones Apple uses like the ones 00:12:50.160 --> 00:12:57.160 that ASUS uses on their very high-end uh products still have phenomenal viewing 00:12:55.240 --> 00:13:00.279 angles so you can be looking at it from like you know here I'll hold up to the 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:04.079 camera you be looking at it from like this angle and you'll still be able to 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:07.959 make everything out really well it's like an IPS panel and the the touch 00:13:05.959 --> 00:13:12.560 screen doesn't obscure it but what I've noticed about this one is whether it's 00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:16.079 due to the fact that it's a TN panel or whether it's due to the touchscreen 00:13:13.959 --> 00:13:18.839 interface watch watch what happens with the uh watch what happens with the 00:13:17.040 --> 00:13:22.760 viewing angle here as I tilt it up so you see you actually don't have to get 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:27.279 that low and the image almost disappears entirely all the color washes out of it 00:13:24.920 --> 00:13:30.760 uh from the top down is is not nearly as is not nearly as noticeable from the 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:35.560 sides you lose all the color but the image stays clear either way I'm mostly 00:13:33.040 --> 00:13:39.240 just excited about the idea of sort of having the option of using a keyboard 00:13:37.079 --> 00:13:46.000 and a touchscreen at the same time I did an NCI Tech tips about this whole sort 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:48.240 of touchscreen keyboard hybrid thing 00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:53.880 that's going on and I'm actually not sure if that one's uploaded yet let's 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:58.279 have a let's have a quick look here uh yeah Windows 8 gestures guide and then I 00:13:55.560 --> 00:14:02.040 also did I also did another one so NC Windows 00:13:59.920 --> 00:14:08.560 so here I'm showing sort of how to how the experience is going to go this one's 00:14:03.959 --> 00:14:12.639 really old uh Windows 8 ah yes this one 00:14:08.560 --> 00:14:14.079 now I can't say that I'm entirely sold 00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:18.320 like I like I've been playing around with it a fair bit this one was uploaded 00:14:16.079 --> 00:14:24.000 on September 21st so I've been I've been tinkering with this for over a month and 00:14:21.880 --> 00:14:29.560 while I am sold on the idea of touchcreen with Windows 8 and uh and 00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:31.720 having a keyboard handy what I like and I don't know if you guys can see my 00:14:30.680 --> 00:14:35.040 mouse pointer here I'm just going to turn the quality down so that uh so that 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:40.399 doesn't kill the bandwidth here but I don't know if you guys can see my mouse pointer here but you see the keyboard 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:45.880 okay so the keyboard has a certain sort of okay let's just find a shot that we 00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:51.320 can just pause okay so the keyboard has a certain distance from the monitor you 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:56.519 never have unlike with a laptop you never have a monitor right like right up 00:14:54.839 --> 00:14:59.800 against your keyboard no one no one uses a computer like that I mean here I'll 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:04.279 point you at this one to show you sort of this is what I consider to be a more 00:15:03.160 --> 00:15:08.399 oh you know what you're not really even going to be able to see that but whatever there's there's a there's a 00:15:06.680 --> 00:15:13.720 keyboard there and there's a monitor sort of there but whatever don't worry about it 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:19.320 um so that's what I consider to be more normal plus when you're sitting at a 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:22.360 desk when you're you know desktop 00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:25.120 experience kind of computer usage 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:29.440 model you typically have some room between the desk and yourself so what I 00:15:28.079 --> 00:15:34.160 discovered playing around with the touchcreen monitor is that I actually 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:37.639 end up far enough away that it's not really comfortable so it's very 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:42.279 comfortable to use a device with your ARM like think of think of the ergonomics of it so you got your ARM 00:15:40.199 --> 00:15:47.639 kind of bent kind of like this so you got that sort of 100° 110° angle and 00:15:46.319 --> 00:15:53.480 that's how you would typically use a touchscreen device if you're extending 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:57.560 any further than that to reach the monitor then you're going to have a lot 00:15:55.199 --> 00:16:01.120 more fatigue I mean it's like Leverage right the further out the weight is from 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:03.839 your shoulder joint and your elbow the more pressure there's going to be on it 00:16:02.319 --> 00:16:08.199 so if you're like this it's very comfortable if you're like this it's 00:16:05.680 --> 00:16:11.560 actually quite uncomfortable so with a notebook experience I think this is a 00:16:10.199 --> 00:16:14.759 lot more exciting because here I'm going to kind of put this no I can't quite do 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:20.120 that okay I'm going to put this here because with the notebook experience you're sitting this far away from it 00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:26.800 which means I can reach it with what I'd consider to be that optimal ARM Bend 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:29.199 without it being uncomfortable so I'm 00:16:26.800 --> 00:16:33.279 not I mean yeah no one knows knows what the future holds in terms of Windows 8 00:16:31.079 --> 00:16:39.240 and the adoption rate and what it's going to mean to to to everyone but I 00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:44.079 can tell you guys I have already found myself once in a while sort of reaching 00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:48.040 towards the screen of my computer and realizing it's not a touchcreen because 00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:54.199 I'm so used to using a smartphone and a tablet people are asking for Q&A so I 00:16:51.639 --> 00:17:00.519 think it's time to do some Q&A here let's go ahead and switch to the Twitter 00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:00.519 feed which 00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:09.799 come on really really for crying out loud okay Twitter 00:17:07.120 --> 00:17:14.360 here we go guys one new tweet really that can't be right am I not signed in 00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:20.400 oh I'm not signed in well that won't work lonus Tech and what is my 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:31.400 password let's hope that's it and that is apparently not it which 00:17:28.919 --> 00:17:38.080 which is sort of bizarre because I changed it like 2 minutes ago because I 00:17:34.679 --> 00:17:41.360 wasn't able to sign in and I'm very very 00:17:38.080 --> 00:17:42.799 sure that that's the correct password so 00:17:41.360 --> 00:17:50.480 uh you guys are going to have to I'm sorry but you're going to have to bear with me here for a second while I reset 00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:50.480 my password which is 00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:59.280 ridiculous oh brilliant apparent okay there we go I was like oh my goodness 00:17:57.840 --> 00:18:02.760 this is this total disaster fter because I couldn't even switch back to my uh I 00:18:01.360 --> 00:18:10.360 couldn't even switch back to my regular feed here it really has not been it has not 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:16.120 been my week I've slept very little and it's been very very challenging I mean 00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:22.520 yeah I'm sure you guys have uh I'm sure you guys have definitely definitely had 00:18:19.159 --> 00:18:22.520 weeks like that 00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:30.559 before uhhuh okay now they're going to 00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:35.760 send me a message if apparently at least I hope 00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:38.799 so cuz I'd love to do some Q&A right now 00:18:35.760 --> 00:18:40.799 cuz that's sort of usually pretty simple 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:45.080 to do now I'm just stalling for time I had 00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:50.360 people asking about my shirt before they think it's an everyday I'm shuffling 00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:53.240 shirt but actually it's a badminton joke 00:18:50.360 --> 00:18:58.039 and the badminton joke is everyday I'm shuttling see so it's like uh badminton 00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:01.880 shuttles and then he's holding a badminton rack it so it's slightly 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:07.720 different but it's just a bit of a it's a bit of a joke based on the uh the 00:19:04.320 --> 00:19:12.720 Party Rock Anthem song that it's pretty 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:12.720 good if you're into that sort of thing 00:19:32.080 --> 00:19:38.159 no no it's really really really not 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:44.320 going to let me in to Twitter right now which is um phenomenally frustrating so 00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:50.520 it's asking me to enter my phone number oh hold on this is this is not good this 00:19:47.159 --> 00:19:51.880 is not good so here this see this is 00:19:50.520 --> 00:19:56.919 this this is this is how it's supposed to work I'm supposed to type my username 00:19:54.120 --> 00:20:01.400 and click submit and ah there we go this time it worked awesome so we'll be live 00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:06.400 in just a moment with more Q&A let me see if there's oh oh oh we're good we're 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:06.400 good here we go here we 00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:15.840 go and we are done so I am very sure 00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:19.799 that I am entering the password that I think I'm entering this time and if it 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:26.720 manages to not accept this password again I'm going to be very very 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:28.960 disappointed all right connect time for 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:34.360 tweets can you tell us all what laptop that is 00:20:31.280 --> 00:20:37.400 and what's inside it actually I have no 00:20:34.360 --> 00:20:40.240 idea what is inside this laptop right 00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:46.000 now at this moment I uh I do know that it's a Samsung laptop it's a series 5 it 00:20:42.600 --> 00:20:47.799 comes with Windows 8 it has okay this is 00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:53.640 driving me absolutely crazy the range isn't quite right on this stupid uh 00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:57.280 Bluetooth thing it has um something yeah 00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:59.159 it's a series 5 it has USB 3 I mean it's 00:20:57.280 --> 00:21:04.760 pretty similar to the existing Series 5 which is the n something 540u and then 00:21:01.840 --> 00:21:08.440 this is the NT 540u which is touch funny story though is this notebook actually 00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:12.080 has an enormous scratch down the back panel you see that because Samsung's 00:21:10.320 --> 00:21:16.360 been taking it around to a wide variety of trade shows so what I actually had to 00:21:14.159 --> 00:21:20.840 do in order to shoot my video showcase of the notebook and have it not look 00:21:18.320 --> 00:21:25.640 phenomenally stupid is I grabbed a uh I grabbed a 540 U and then I'm going to go 00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:29.840 ahead and I'm going to pretend that the back of that notebook is the back of 00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:33.919 this notebook book and then the front of this notebook is the is the the back of 00:21:31.919 --> 00:21:36.960 the other one so that's uh that's my little trick the kinds of things that go 00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:40.919 on behind the scenes right uh here so let's switch back to 00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:45.720 the Twitter feed what video card manufacturer would 00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:49.559 you say is best for a novice well whether you're a novice or an 00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:53.720 experienced whatever it is that you are so maybe you mean you're a novice buyer 00:21:51.679 --> 00:21:58.360 novice gamer I don't know doesn't matter video card manufacturer is just whoever 00:21:55.960 --> 00:22:03.840 manufactures your video card so guys like EVGA Seuss MSI uh these are all 00:22:01.360 --> 00:22:07.320 very good choices XFX if I had to pick sort of my top four those would be them 00:22:05.600 --> 00:22:14.279 it's very hard to go wrong with any of those guys at all make the best gaming 00:22:10.520 --> 00:22:17.640 PC under 600 bucks 00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:19.679 um really guys I get a lot of questions 00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:24.640 um about what is sort of the best option for a PC for a given price range and 00:22:22.320 --> 00:22:28.520 what I usually end I mean honestly guys I get literally hundreds of messages 00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:33.400 every day and people are often asking asking me sort of long complicated 00:22:30.360 --> 00:22:35.200 questions I don't have time and it's 00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:40.320 really not that hard to find out what's a good option for a pre-built 00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:46.279 PC really really let's go come on there you 00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:53.039 go because you guys as you probably know I work at NCIX so you click buy a PC you 00:22:49.840 --> 00:22:55.240 click gaming okay you want $600 you go 00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:58.600 to Value gaming you find a computer that's 00:22:56.039 --> 00:23:04.559 $600 that was probably configured by crazy Russian so there you go core I3 00:23:01.120 --> 00:23:06.679 GTX 650 OC 4 gigs DDR3 memory 500 gig 00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:10.279 hard drive Windows Home Premium you want to spend a little okay don't get that 00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:14.840 one that one sucks but uh yeah there you go besta I3 3010 what I would probably 00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:18.720 do is I would consider changing that GeForce card over to something like a 00:23:16.320 --> 00:23:24.200 7770 i' find it to be a little bit of a better value or spend a little bit more 00:23:20.679 --> 00:23:26.760 and get a 650 TI but uh yeah I mean when 00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:30.919 it comes to choosing a configuration find a configuration 00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:35.600 um send it to me and I will happily go through it and make any suggestions but 00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:40.159 I can't take questions like lonus what's the best gaming PC for 1,400 uh Great 00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:43.640 Britain pounds and I'm just kind of like okay well a I don't work in that 00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:49.080 frequency I have no freaking idea how much things cost and then B it's like 00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:52.520 well do a little bit of the leg work put together something you think is right 00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:56.919 send it over to me and I'll say things like oh spend more on the video card 00:23:54.480 --> 00:24:00.880 maybe drop down the CPU uh get a better power supply and that case is way too 00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:04.080 expensive for the other components you're buying dump that back into 00:24:02.520 --> 00:24:07.640 getting more performance and then grab an SSD or something along those lines 00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:12.520 I'll give you an idea of how to tweak the machine in order to get the best 00:24:09.320 --> 00:24:14.240 value out of it sunny asks what do I 00:24:12.520 --> 00:24:19.000 think about Intel's Haswell architecture how much of an performance increase 00:24:15.840 --> 00:24:21.120 should we expect over Ivy Bridge um 00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:25.440 right now I can't think anything about Haswell because Haswell is not out right 00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:31.919 now so there's not a whole lot for me to say I mean it's Intel so my expect is 00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:37.360 pretty solid it's going to be I I believe this is is this a talk or a tick 00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:42.240 can't remember but this is an actual architectural shift whereas Ivy Bridge 00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:43.399 was just a process shrink so it's 00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:49.440 probably going to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 to 20% performance 00:24:46.080 --> 00:24:50.600 Improvement and uh that's that's sort 00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:55.399 that's sort of it it's pretty much always like that and then AMD will fall 00:24:53.360 --> 00:25:00.720 even further behind which for those of us who who really enjoyed the Athlon 64 00:24:58.600 --> 00:25:06.200 era when AMD basically revolutionized the whole 00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:10.360 gig um it's sort of sort of 00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:11.760 saddening NVIDIA 650 TI or radon 7770 I 00:25:10.360 --> 00:25:16.799 don't game a lot I just want something better than my Xbox um personally I'd 00:25:13.840 --> 00:25:20.919 probably go 650 TI out of those two um I do I do find the NVIDIA experience a 00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:24.679 little bit better for certain things if you did want to go multim monitor then 00:25:22.679 --> 00:25:28.360 I'd go AMD however if you're going to go multim monitor then the 7770 is the 00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:34.080 wrong choice anyway because it's way underpowered for a multim monitor 00:25:31.960 --> 00:25:39.320 setup okay ah Donnie says how are you liking 00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:44.279 your German car why did you choose a Volkswagen over another Honda good 00:25:41.080 --> 00:25:46.840 question I did not um my wife's car is 00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:51.120 the Volkswagen Rabbit and my car is the Honda Civic the only reason that we've 00:25:49.120 --> 00:25:55.240 switched Vehicles is because her car is a twoo and mine's a four-door and 00:25:53.440 --> 00:26:00.080 because she's on maternity leave with the baby she's usually the one driving 00:25:58.520 --> 00:26:04.440 in places which means it's a lot more convenient to load the car seat into the 00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:09.399 back seat of a car that is a four-door as opposed to a twodo it's uh you're not 00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:13.320 allowed to put baby car seats in the front seat at least here in Canada 00:26:11.159 --> 00:26:17.399 anyway due to the regulations and laws and whatnot so um so that's that's why 00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:20.760 we that's why we ended up going that route um so she's going to want her car 00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:25.120 back at some point Shane ask are you going to do an 00:26:23.399 --> 00:26:29.960 unboxing of the new AMD pile driver chips when they come out what do you think of them I actually have all 00:26:28.360 --> 00:26:34.559 already done more than an unboxing slicks run a whole bunch of benchmarks 00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:37.960 and whatnot and we've got performance numbers against the previous generation 00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:43.120 AMD chips and that's all going to go up on the ncixcom channel on launch day 00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:47.760 which is sometime next week if I recall correctly um this this this is this is a 00:26:45.600 --> 00:26:52.399 great question Francesco asks is that a Playboy mouse 00:26:50.520 --> 00:27:00.120 pad to which I would answer yes indeed it is this is a funk pad this is an 1030 00:26:56.360 --> 00:27:01.960 archetype this thing is is one of a kind 00:27:00.120 --> 00:27:05.600 as far as I know because funk's whole thing Funk was actually a local 00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:10.320 Vancouver company their entire manufacturing was like down the street 00:27:07.600 --> 00:27:15.799 from NC and this was something that was produced as a oneoff for a former 00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:18.200 employee of NC he had the uh he had The 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:22.080 Misfortune to leave it in my sight for long enough that I managed to snag it 00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:26.559 actually he he uh he moved he moved to our Ontario Office and left it behind in 00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:31.440 his BC office which I inherited so I totally snagged the the one-of aind 00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:34.840 unique Playboy mouse pad for myself it's actually an excellent mouse pad too 00:27:33.399 --> 00:27:39.919 that's the difference between This and like most promotional mouse pads which 00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:42.360 are usually crap because any kind of a 00:27:39.919 --> 00:27:48.159 graphic on a mouse pad unless it's a really good surface is just going to 00:27:45.159 --> 00:27:49.960 destroy the tracking I mean I love a 00:27:48.159 --> 00:27:54.720 cool looking mouse pad with a great picture on it as much as the next guy 00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:57.320 but unless they do a perfect job of the 00:27:54.720 --> 00:28:01.120 surface itself it's going to every time you cross one of those light to dark 00:27:59.360 --> 00:28:06.840 barriers pretty much no matter how good your mouse is it is going to jump or 00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:11.279 skip or pause or something bad something bad will happen a great example of this 00:28:09.159 --> 00:28:15.840 is the uh the game pads that Intel was giving away with one of their recent 00:28:13.080 --> 00:28:20.440 promotions so I'll uh I'll see if I oh I gone full screen I'll see if I can find 00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:29.000 these game pads cuz they're cool they're really big and okay Intel Intel Gamepad 00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:32.240 they're really big they look um 00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:39.760 hm Intel 00:28:34.320 --> 00:28:41.760 pad oh that's sort of bizarre Mouse oh 00:28:39.760 --> 00:28:45.760 okay whatever I can't find it but uh they're really cool they're huge and 00:28:43.320 --> 00:28:50.000 they had this great graphic of like some guy who's like and and they're they're 00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:54.120 fantastic but you couldn't they could they tracked for crap and I couldn't 00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:58.279 even use them unfortunately but uh an example of someone who does do it right 00:28:55.679 --> 00:29:01.880 would be steel Series so most of their pads that I've had experience with 00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:07.760 anyway with complicated graphics on them such as the uh what's that badass Dragon 00:29:05.880 --> 00:29:12.919 Warcraft I don't know some Dragon was on the front of some mouse pad it tracked 00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:16.840 great and like their Diablo 3 qck also is fantastic so uh they they do a pretty 00:29:15.360 --> 00:29:22.840 good job of that as well let's have a look at some more tweets shout out to Scottish people okay you bet family 00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:28.600 friendly yes I'm family friendly what do you think this is um the mouse I'm using 00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:30.480 right now is not a g600 I'm actually not 00:29:28.600 --> 00:29:34.519 not quite sure what to think of the g600 I spent a little bit of time with it 00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:40.799 when I first got it and what I noticed is that it doesn't it doesn't feel quite 00:29:37.080 --> 00:29:43.559 as Twitchy responsive as my G9 really 00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:47.480 like the G9 really like the aari laser I really like the razor Naga although the 00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:51.679 ergonomics aren't great for me but the sensor feels really good feels really 00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:56.120 tight um really responsive whereas with the with the g600 I don't know what it 00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:59.440 is it's very accurate like I can decide where I want the pointer to be I can 00:29:57.320 --> 00:30:02.880 move and it's there but it just feels like it took a little bit longer and no 00:30:01.080 --> 00:30:06.480 amount of tinkering with the DPI or installing the drivers or playing around 00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:11.960 with it really fixed it for me it's just a personal preference thing I'm very 00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:13.840 picky about mice so um so yeah no I'm 00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:18.399 I'm not using the g600 although I was playing around with it yesterday but I 00:30:16.760 --> 00:30:23.440 it hasn't it hasn't managed to make its way onto my actual onto my actual system 00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:28.120 desk although my actual system is in so many pieces right now that check this 00:30:25.159 --> 00:30:33.960 out I actually have pieces of my desktop machine right here right here for your 00:30:31.320 --> 00:30:40.000 uh for your enjoyment and taunting during this very live stream see these 00:30:36.399 --> 00:30:42.760 are these are my boot drives and then 00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:46.640 uh these are the rest of my boot drives so if you guys don't already know I have 00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:51.720 an 8 drive raid zero for my uh for my boot drive on my desktop machine so 00:30:49.080 --> 00:30:56.440 that's a total of just shy of a terabyte of SSD storage I have them all in raid 00:30:53.960 --> 00:31:01.440 zero I know that seems unwise but I'm doing nightly backups and I also don't 00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:06.159 really keep anything of value on my computer U all of my storage is actually 00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:11.120 done through through Windows Home Server so all I do is I just access over the 00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:15.720 network everything that I could possibly need I have a gigabit Network in my home 00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:19.399 so it's not like it's any slower than a mechanical hard drive I mean think about 00:31:17.320 --> 00:31:25.080 this for a second guys gigabit is basically for sort of stupid math 1110th 00:31:22.760 --> 00:31:31.200 um is around 100 megabytes per second so what that means is that a hard 00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:35.360 drive which is capable of okay sustained maybe a little higher maybe 160 180 00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:40.320 megabytes per second and that's an internal hard drive so on the other end 00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:44.480 of that gigabit pip I have an enormous raid six hooked up to a very fancy RAID 00:31:42.840 --> 00:31:48.279 controller card that is actually going to give better responsiveness than a 00:31:46.399 --> 00:31:52.519 single internal hard drive even though the Max B bandwidth is a little bit 00:31:49.840 --> 00:31:58.480 lower so for me browsing files on my network storage and I know people seem 00:31:54.880 --> 00:32:00.399 to kind of get bored when I um 00:31:58.480 --> 00:32:06.120 when I talk a lot about network storage and whatnot um but you know what guys it 00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:12.399 is so awesome I mean it's totally responsive I can go into any archive 00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:16.399 unboxings and I can just play things over the network just like this it does 00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:21.080 not take any longer than it does if I'm storing the files locally also it 00:32:18.600 --> 00:32:25.639 prevents me from running into situations where I have multiple copies of my files 00:32:23.600 --> 00:32:30.639 all over my house and I'm and I'm duplicating what I would otherwise be 00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:34.799 able to store in all one place so people 00:32:30.639 --> 00:32:36.360 are people are bored bored ywn bored lus 00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:40.639 go on Twitter that's that's what the twitch chat is saying so you you you got 00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:45.960 you guys are you guys are killing me here fine I'll do more Twitter 00:32:43.120 --> 00:32:52.360 questions so why would you would you use an amd10 5800 I would use an i53570 out 00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:56.760 of all of those options for a computer that is going to use to fix photos for 00:32:54.399 --> 00:33:04.480 eBay that's the only use for this computer I I would use a sempron um I 00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:04.480 wouldn't I'd try not to overthink it too 00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:09.360 much okay any good mice that are 00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:13.480 left-handed or can be used left-handed that you know of yeah steel Series has a 00:33:11.080 --> 00:33:18.440 couple good ones the Sensei is probably the best option for an ambidextrous 00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:22.880 mouse that has a fantastic sensor good software and let's move along to the 00:33:20.600 --> 00:33:28.600 next Twitter question no I haven't had a chance to use the Phoenix Nita 00:33:25.639 --> 00:33:33.519 Mouse haven't used the razor roros either I haven't even heard of that have 00:33:31.840 --> 00:33:38.159 big hands like small mice live on Vancouver Island so Staples is the only 00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:44.519 real testing place for mice best smaller Mouse if I was buying a smaller Mouse 00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:47.159 today you know what the G9 is really not 00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:51.080 that big so that might be an option for you if you take a lot of the weight out 00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:55.320 of it it has the removable uh removable weight cartridges inside so I don't know 00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:58.519 if you guys have used a G9 before but once you take the once you take the 00:33:56.600 --> 00:34:02.200 outer the outer shell it actually comes with a smaller outer shell as well but 00:34:00.679 --> 00:34:06.159 then you can actually take out the the weight cartridge and it's it's really 00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:09.480 not that heavy it's super heavy once you put all the weights on it but that might 00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:14.520 be a good option for you other than that if you play any MMOs or if you would 00:34:11.079 --> 00:34:16.960 have any reason to use the macro Keys uh 00:34:14.520 --> 00:34:22.359 razor Naga is an excellent NOS I really really like 00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:25.440 it uh okay so let's scroll down a little 00:34:22.359 --> 00:34:27.720 bit uh here's a good question so can you 00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:30.639 explain raid I would love to explain expl raid for you here's how I'm going 00:34:28.879 --> 00:34:35.320 to do it youtube.com let's see let's let's 00:34:33.240 --> 00:34:38.599 actually you know what that let's try RAID hard drive or something like that 00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:44.639 let's try a keyword that might work because raid's going to have lots of other stuff oh I failed okay let's try 00:34:42.919 --> 00:34:49.200 raid lus really oh it brings up a bunch of 00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:53.800 Linux search instead for raid Linus come on you can do it there we go see raid 00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:59.599 zero and raid one setup guide preview of a raid build um ssds and raid think 00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:03.440 there's another one that I did on raid five and six there it is raid five and 00:35:01.520 --> 00:35:08.079 RAID 10 tutorial okay apparently I didn't cover raid six but yes I have 00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:11.680 covered explaining raid in pretty good depth on a number of occasions so you 00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:16.599 definitely want to check out those videos but in summary raid is using 00:35:14.839 --> 00:35:21.200 multiple Drives together in order to achieve either better data uh security 00:35:19.839 --> 00:35:27.240 or better speed uh Laro asks how good is the FX 00:35:24.560 --> 00:35:32.000 6100 what I have to say about AMD's products stack is that it is priced 00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:37.280 appropriately I saw a really interesting news article where someone was talking 00:35:33.640 --> 00:35:38.920 about how holy crap AMD's new Chips um 00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:42.440 because there there's lots of leaks in terms of pricing and performance and all 00:35:40.359 --> 00:35:44.920 that stuff holy crap AMD's new chips are going to be priced like super low 00:35:43.720 --> 00:35:50.079 they're coming in at a very very aggressive price and oh how exciting is 00:35:47.680 --> 00:35:55.960 this and my response to that is whenever you hear anything about pricing for an 00:35:53.240 --> 00:36:01.240 upcoming video card or an upcoming CPU what that should tell you is how well it 00:35:57.839 --> 00:36:03.800 performs because AMD is not stupid 00:36:01.240 --> 00:36:09.240 Intel's not stupid NVIDIA is not stupid they take their new product and they go 00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:12.119 okay so here this is where the 00:36:09.240 --> 00:36:15.560 competitor's product is here at $200 and this is where the competitor's product 00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:20.000 here is at $100 and we know our chip performs about here so we'll price it at 00:36:17.319 --> 00:36:24.359 $150 it's not rocket science you can probably extrapolate the performance of 00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:29.280 any upcoming part based on the rumors about pricing well before it ever comes 00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:30.680 out so there you go how it is an fx 6100 00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:36.240 it is exactly 00:36:33.240 --> 00:36:40.520 M FX 00:36:36.240 --> 00:36:42.359 6100 it is exactly $100 good which in 00:36:40.520 --> 00:36:47.920 terms of sort of equivalent to what you'd see on the Intel side is sort of 00:36:44.560 --> 00:36:49.599 like you know the core I3 level um and 00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:54.000 honestly that's that's probably about where it falls the exceptions being 00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:59.760 heavily threaded workloads for example diesel is now using an fx 8150 in his 00:36:57.560 --> 00:37:03.440 rendering machine um and he says it has made a big difference for him over his 00:37:01.520 --> 00:37:09.079 existing he had a q he had either a q6600 or a q9550 he 00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:12.880 said it's been like an awesome like phenomenal upgrade for him because all 00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:18.079 those threads is great for doing things like color correction postprocessing and 00:37:15.160 --> 00:37:22.200 all the fancy hoo-ha that he's that he's usually working 00:37:19.359 --> 00:37:26.119 on any good ergonomic gaming keyboards honestly not really the whole ergonomic 00:37:24.520 --> 00:37:30.079 keyboard thing has kind of fallen out of Vogue lately um I have had a Microsoft 00:37:28.200 --> 00:37:34.160 natural back in the day I loved it but there's not really anything specifically 00:37:31.680 --> 00:37:38.520 for gaming why is Slick's identity such a closely guarded secret honestly it's 00:37:36.520 --> 00:37:42.119 not really I mean people have uh people have seen him there's footage of slick 00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:48.160 on YouTube it's as it's as difficult as going like this uh 00:37:45.040 --> 00:37:50.920 slick um 00:37:48.160 --> 00:37:54.920 Linus slick revealed there you go first hit and well that's slick with a bag on 00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:58.760 his head but this is I think this is slick filming something at one of the uh 00:37:57.560 --> 00:38:04.040 at one of the live events that we've done so yeah it's not really that big of a secret it's just one of those things 00:38:02.240 --> 00:38:08.640 where generally speaking like think about it you go to see a play do the 00:38:06.200 --> 00:38:12.040 people who like run out and move the set around do they do they have a spotlight 00:38:10.200 --> 00:38:15.880 on them do they show their faces not really it's just how it's done when 00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:19.520 you're part of the crew you're supposed to I mean diesel calls it show black 00:38:18.200 --> 00:38:24.040 you're supposed to wear black so that you're not going to get caught in the reflections you're supposed to stay at a 00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:26.880 Reflections you're supposed to be quiet! because otherwise you're going to you're 00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:33.560 going to ruin the shot and you're not supposed to be making the Run not necessarily starring 00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:37.440 in the however I think slick is actually considering using the uh the twitch 00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:41.319 channel here to potentially do some gameplay streaming videos and let you 00:38:39.640 --> 00:38:47.160 guys play some games with him and stuff so I'll I'll bug him about that but I 00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:48.800 think it'll have to be sometime after um 00:38:47.160 --> 00:38:52.839 after he's done his exam so Slick's still a student just like edel they 00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:56.960 actually both go to school at the same place so uh so yeah once he's done his 00:38:55.400 --> 00:39:03.480 exams then we'll then we'll be having a different convers ation shout out from 00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:05.680 Manila okay can do uh yeah I'm not doing 00:39:03.480 --> 00:39:09.640 I'm not doing the ABC's backwards in ASL I already showed I know how to do it 00:39:07.640 --> 00:39:12.160 mount a cheap laser on your camera so you know if it's filming at the right 00:39:10.720 --> 00:39:16.680 position instead of checking back on your monitor that is interesting what 00:39:14.680 --> 00:39:23.160 I'm actually checking on the monitor is whether my switching is working or not 00:39:18.440 --> 00:39:24.560 so uh good suggestion love it but uh but 00:39:23.160 --> 00:39:27.880 the the reason I'm doing that is actually slightly different from from 00:39:26.240 --> 00:39:32.160 what's going on cuz the the less link between this thing is actually not that 00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:36.200 good infusion says we have the same Mouse I love my g9x I actually have a G9 00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:39.599 but you know close enough you tried really hard that's good uh what do you 00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:44.000 think is better Big Bang X power or Rampage 5 extreme um out of those two I 00:39:41.960 --> 00:39:48.200 would probably well Big Bang X power is an x58 board for one thing so I think 00:39:46.200 --> 00:39:51.599 you mean the big bang X power 2 I would personally go Rampage 5 extreme for one 00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:57.800 reason and that's because it's actually still in a standard ATX length um 00:39:54.720 --> 00:39:59.720 whereas the Big Bang X power 2 is um is 00:39:57.800 --> 00:40:03.880 an XL ATX length and really doesn't fit in a lot of cases I mean there are cases 00:40:01.520 --> 00:40:10.240 it fits in but um I I like the Silverstone tj07 I like not being locked 00:40:06.880 --> 00:40:12.119 to sort of 5% of the cases that are out 00:40:10.240 --> 00:40:16.800 there because of the length of my motherboard I prefer going the other way 00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:21.400 around uh do you think the 650 TI is a good bang for the buck yeah it's good um 00:40:19.400 --> 00:40:25.280 do you think it would perform well as an egpu electronic GPU maybe he means 00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:33.160 external GPU with one of those enclosures not quite sure what he means by GPU so I I tried I tried have a Time 00:40:31.720 --> 00:40:37.000 pressured extreme PC Building and modding contest with slick against Logan 00:40:35.160 --> 00:40:40.920 and his team you know what probably not a bad idea that kind of thing would be 00:40:38.760 --> 00:40:44.400 very very fun so I'm not going to say that that's not something that will 00:40:42.640 --> 00:40:47.240 happen in the future speaking of things that'll happen in the future I don't 00:40:45.839 --> 00:40:52.920 know if you guys are familiar with the PC per podcast or if you're familiar 00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:57.880 with PC per in general so PC perspective is a website on the internets and they 00:40:55.560 --> 00:41:01.839 have a podcast and I will actually be making a guest appearance on that 00:40:59.640 --> 00:41:04.800 podcast next week so if you guys want to tune in that's cool if you don't want to 00:41:03.319 --> 00:41:12.240 tune in honestly that's cool too it doesn't really make that much of a difference to me so that'll be on the 00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:14.000 25th I believe it's every Thursday I 00:41:12.240 --> 00:41:20.160 don't even know what time it is I think it's around noon my time so so noon my 00:41:17.240 --> 00:41:24.200 time is uh 00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:28.040 um whatever time it is your time get a world clock you know what there's a 00:41:25.440 --> 00:41:31.560 widget in Windows so you just like add that time zone clock to your to the side 00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:37.240 of your thing and then you won't have too much too much trouble with that 00:41:34.200 --> 00:41:38.319 moving right along more TT and I knocked 00:41:37.240 --> 00:41:43.040 over my keyboard that I use for switching awesome I'm like a rock star 00:41:40.960 --> 00:41:46.520 today this is amazing you use many different web browsers including Opera 00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:50.760 yes I do the reason I do that is because I have many different Google accounts 00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:54.400 and while you can now although I don't believe you used to be able to do it 00:41:52.319 --> 00:41:57.640 while you can add additional Google accounts signed in under the same 00:41:55.839 --> 00:42:01.280 browser I find it actually less convenient to to use it that way than to 00:41:59.839 --> 00:42:05.960 just have five different browsers that are all logged into five different Google accounts and just kind of 00:42:03.880 --> 00:42:10.880 remember I mean I remember Firefox is for Linus at NC uh Internet Explorer is 00:42:08.720 --> 00:42:15.680 for NC Tech tips Chrome is for Linus Tech tips Safari is for Linus cat tips 00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:19.599 and then Opera as sort of a utility one if I need to log into one of my other 00:42:17.079 --> 00:42:26.599 variety of Gmail accounts H use 6950 or new 7870 you know 00:42:24.240 --> 00:42:32.400 what I'd probably go with the new 7870 uh 78 7 is a great value these days and 00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:35.200 it can overclock like like a boss George 00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:38.960 says it's the first time tuning in live thank you for tuning in live George I 00:42:36.839 --> 00:42:42.800 appreciate it very very much what would you recommend for cheap 00:42:41.040 --> 00:42:48.760 and efficient power supply you know what you've probably narrowed it down to one 00:42:44.839 --> 00:42:51.480 of the best choices out there a lot of 00:42:48.760 --> 00:42:55.280 people ask me for power supply advice and then totally ignore me they ask me 00:42:53.319 --> 00:43:01.440 for power supply advice and I say get a high efficiency 650 550 750 watt power 00:42:59.359 --> 00:43:05.559 supply and they kind of go oh wus what do you think of this 1,000 wat 80 plus 00:43:03.440 --> 00:43:09.240 platinum and I kind of go well it's a good power supply but based on the 00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:14.880 configuration you showed me that's going to suck 250 to 300 watts from the wall 00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:20.480 maximum you're actually going to be getting worse efficiency out of a higher 00:43:18.440 --> 00:43:24.440 capacity power supply than you would out of a lower capacity one it's not about 00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:28.880 buying the biggest power supply it's about buying the most optimized power 00:43:26.440 --> 00:43:33.520 supply so if you're getting a single GPU gaming rig an EA 650 Platinum is 00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:41.319 actually an excellent choice way to go wow Goron Goron Goron I don't know if 00:43:39.960 --> 00:43:45.880 anyone can pronounce that you get three points on the internets I'm interested 00:43:43.720 --> 00:43:51.520 in network storage that's fantastic Andreas George asks best silent fans I 00:43:49.160 --> 00:43:58.119 get this question a lot because I'm a bit of a silence dork no TOA F where is 00:43:55.920 --> 00:44:04.000 it kn to a where is it something something F12 00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:07.119 there you go buy this just buy it and be 00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:10.319 done with it this is an amazing fan it 00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:12.160 is just amazing in every way it sends 00:44:10.319 --> 00:44:17.640 the air where you want it to go it has awesome static pressure it just it's 00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:21.720 just it's magical if you hate the color scheme there are other options out there 00:44:19.640 --> 00:44:27.680 uh bit Phoenix Spectre Pros are pretty good um GED wings are pretty good uh be 00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:32.000 quiet fans I've heard excellent things about and the one that I checked out was 00:44:29.800 --> 00:44:36.640 was excellent as well so there are other options if you ABS oh ah scy gentle 00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:39.440 typhoons are awesome as well U most of them you're going to have to undervolt 00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:44.800 the nocas come with all the adapters you need to run them super quiet and I'm 00:44:41.680 --> 00:44:46.920 just so impressed with NOA every day all 00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:50.079 day every day that I just recommend it anytime someone asks me for the best 00:44:48.559 --> 00:44:53.760 silent fan what's your thought on Dual 00:44:52.079 --> 00:44:56.680 radiators in a water cooled build and what kind of heat would it require for 00:44:55.240 --> 00:45:01.920 them to be useful honestly you can take advantage of a dual 00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:04.119 rad uh with just a CPU Loop um single 00:45:01.920 --> 00:45:08.839 RADS are not good enough and it's a it's pretty simple physics to be perfectly 00:45:05.960 --> 00:45:12.040 honest because heat dissipation is all about surface area and I'm sorry I'm 00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:15.720 kind of walking away because I'm trying to figure out if I have a heat sink 00:45:13.520 --> 00:45:22.200 anywhere around here that I can show you guys so heat dissipation is 00:45:19.160 --> 00:45:25.200 um is surface area and then you have 00:45:22.200 --> 00:45:27.760 fans applying moving air to that surface 00:45:25.200 --> 00:45:33.760 area to carry the heat away so what that means is that if you have a radiator 00:45:29.880 --> 00:45:37.400 that has less surface area than a heat 00:45:33.760 --> 00:45:39.440 sink then it should stand to reason that 00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:43.599 the performance of said radiator will actually be less than a heat sink people 00:45:41.480 --> 00:45:50.400 ask me all the time about like Corsair h60 h60 great product makes your system 00:45:48.079 --> 00:46:01.520 look tidier um it looks nice it um has water in 00:45:57.839 --> 00:46:03.440 doesn't perform nearly as well as tons 00:46:01.520 --> 00:46:07.800 of air coolers on the market because it's so little surface area oh what it 00:46:06.200 --> 00:46:11.480 does do is it removes a fan from your system although it adds a pump so it's 00:46:09.839 --> 00:46:15.559 from a silence perspective I don't even know if it even makes sense so what so 00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:19.920 it's got this tiny tiny surface area what it does have as an advantage is the 00:46:17.720 --> 00:46:24.319 ability to draw heat away from the CPU more quickly because it's using water 00:46:22.160 --> 00:46:28.240 however if you can't dissipate that heat from the radiator fast enough the water 00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:32.200 just War warms up and warms up and warms up until it reaches an equilibrium point 00:46:30.200 --> 00:46:37.359 where the water rushing around the loop is at you know 45° and then even if it's 00:46:35.160 --> 00:46:43.400 holding it even even if the CPU block is efficient enough to take 45 degree water 00:46:39.280 --> 00:46:45.599 and keep your CPU at 70° then I mean 00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:49.200 fantastic you got a 70° CPU that's not better than air cooling so I really 00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:56.079 recommend if you're going to get a pre-done water cooler get an h80 get an 00:46:51.640 --> 00:46:57.480 h100 a dual red makes a huge difference 00:46:56.079 --> 00:47:01.319 and then a thick red makes a big difference as well however if you really 00:46:59.440 --> 00:47:06.680 want to go water cooling the way to do it is to get a custom custom Loop custom 00:47:04.160 --> 00:47:13.839 Loop is is awesome and the way that bosses Do It um trying to change my 00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:16.000 thing here I hate this thing I have a 00:47:13.839 --> 00:47:19.400 better wireless keyboard but I used this one cuz I thought you know cuz it's 00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:23.920 really low profile it would be awesome but this is this is not working tonight 00:47:21.599 --> 00:47:28.040 going to test the 7h thanks to you good job should I buy The Fanatic or the 00:47:25.520 --> 00:47:31.400 normal one there is no difference oh apparently there's a little difference 00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:37.000 with the ear cups okay I have no idea it's the same headphones um when I use 00:47:33.960 --> 00:47:40.160 the 7hs I personally prefer the uh the 00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:43.240 pley ear cups as opposed to the fabric 00:47:40.160 --> 00:47:44.720 ones so if you're interested in my 00:47:43.240 --> 00:47:47.559 thoughts on it at all then I would probably go that 00:47:48.359 --> 00:47:54.839 route do you think AMD will beat NVIDIA within blah blah blah with the 8,000 00:47:52.599 --> 00:48:00.880 series you know what it doesn't matter um it's the same old thing every time 00:47:58.839 --> 00:48:05.720 everyone wants to speculate about the new AMD thing or the new NVIDIA thing or 00:48:02.880 --> 00:48:10.079 the new Intel thing how will it perform how will it be priced you know what it's 00:48:07.920 --> 00:48:14.960 it'll perform better it'll be priced the same and then the prices will erode as 00:48:12.599 --> 00:48:19.880 the as the uh the market gets flooded with parts and then something new will 00:48:16.880 --> 00:48:19.880 come out and it will replace 00:48:20.119 --> 00:48:26.839 it and that'll be that so yeah some something will happen 00:48:25.160 --> 00:48:31.040 and someone will release something and honestly until we get closer like we 00:48:28.839 --> 00:48:34.920 haven't even seen any solid rumors about 8,000 Series so I'm not even thinking 00:48:32.920 --> 00:48:40.599 about it I'm actually curious to see if AMD even calls it 8,000 series I mean I 00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:46.040 was I was surprised when NVIDIA released a 9800 graphics card because that was a 00:48:43.680 --> 00:48:51.400 number that AMD had used before well ATI I guess at the time ATI had used before 00:48:48.040 --> 00:48:54.440 with the Radeon 9800 Pro so it was uh it 00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:55.760 was it was quite quite puzzling to me 00:48:54.440 --> 00:49:02.119 that they that they decided to go that route and release a 9 800 to go along 00:48:58.480 --> 00:49:02.119 with their their competitor's 00:49:02.480 --> 00:49:10.000 9800 okay M tamore Twitter questions 00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:11.920 yay thank you minus I'm in the market 00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:17.839 for a new mechanical gaming keyboard I see you have the cor a k90 and I want to 00:49:14.440 --> 00:49:19.720 know your thoughts I do not use a 00:49:17.839 --> 00:49:25.160 Corsair k90 I'm not sure where you saw me use a Corsair k90 probably on the set 00:49:21.839 --> 00:49:27.680 of NC Tech tips so the k90 looks 00:49:25.160 --> 00:49:32.480 fantastic it is like the best looking keyboard it has individually backlit 00:49:29.799 --> 00:49:37.920 Keys it's got that gorgeous aluminum like thing going on um I'm personally 00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:42.880 not a big fan of cherry red switches so I'm actually using a meic cyel 60 I've 00:49:40.480 --> 00:49:46.359 got a couple 7gs in deployment I still use my g15 gen 1 from time to time 00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:52.000 although that's not a mechanical keyboard I'm more of a cherry cherry 00:49:49.720 --> 00:49:55.440 Blue cherry well can't use blue cuz I have a baby in the house now and he'll 00:49:53.520 --> 00:50:02.119 wake up if I use Cherry Blues they're so loud I'm more of a black Black Cherry MX 00:49:58.760 --> 00:50:04.400 switch user although I just got my hands 00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:08.980 on the new Logitech whatever it is I think it's the 710 plus this is very 00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:15.400 exciting 710 let's try 00:50:13.040 --> 00:50:19.960 searching is it no I don't know what it is 00:50:16.640 --> 00:50:22.520 google.ca Logitech mechanic yeah there 00:50:19.960 --> 00:50:27.040 we go mechanical keyboard g710 plus yeah that's what it is here's the uh here's 00:50:23.720 --> 00:50:28.760 the anch review so I just got my on one 00:50:27.040 --> 00:50:33.440 of these I'm really excited to try it because they decided to go with brown 00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:37.040 switches so Brown switches are basically 00:50:33.440 --> 00:50:39.760 like um they're basically like let me 00:50:37.040 --> 00:50:44.799 see if I can remember this I think Brown switches take a little bit more uh a 00:50:42.920 --> 00:50:49.720 little bit more forced to depress like Blues but they're quieter than blues if 00:50:47.520 --> 00:50:53.839 I recall correctly and then the mushier more linear ones are the blacks and the 00:50:52.200 --> 00:50:58.960 and the Reds although the thing I like about the blacks um I don't like on some 00:50:56.160 --> 00:51:02.160 keyboards but I really like on the zy um is not the fact that they're linear so 00:51:00.599 --> 00:51:06.559 I'm really excited to try out this keyboard because I haven't yet seen like 00:51:04.440 --> 00:51:11.799 a gaming oriented keyboard with macro keys and that kind of those kinds of 00:51:08.559 --> 00:51:14.440 features with cherry Brown switches so 00:51:11.799 --> 00:51:20.160 very very very cool very cool 00:51:16.520 --> 00:51:22.760 um let's go back to Twitter shall we is 00:51:20.160 --> 00:51:28.160 an Intel 330 series SSD okay for a boot Drive yes AMD pile Drive review soon yes 00:51:25.799 --> 00:51:33.240 I'm in the okay already read that oh oh wow we're all the way back to uh to 00:51:29.599 --> 00:51:35.839 where we started fantastic 249 new 00:51:33.240 --> 00:51:40.559 interactions you guys are killing me here wow how do you set up an AMD main 00:51:38.720 --> 00:51:44.240 graphics with an NVIDIA FX dedicated card had someone asked this question not 00:51:42.400 --> 00:51:48.880 that long ago and the answer I gave them was you can't and then I had someone 00:51:46.319 --> 00:51:54.559 kind of jump in oh hold the internet slightest you actually can here's a 00:51:50.799 --> 00:51:56.960 forum thread somewhere we yes you can um 00:51:54.559 --> 00:52:01.240 however you're going to always be locked into using a last generation driver and 00:52:00.040 --> 00:52:06.520 you're every time you want to update your drivers you're going to be tweaking 00:52:03.440 --> 00:52:10.079 something or changing some file or 00:52:06.520 --> 00:52:14.160 somehow haering it and to me it's really 00:52:10.079 --> 00:52:15.520 not worth it if you okay physx is cool I 00:52:14.160 --> 00:52:20.920 guess there's a couple games that do leverage it Borderlands 2 being a recent 00:52:18.319 --> 00:52:25.799 exception of note that or not exception but a recent notable title that does 00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:29.480 utilize physx look if you want physx use it NVIDIA graphic graic card it really 00:52:27.599 --> 00:52:33.839 doesn't seem that complicated if you don't want FX go ahead and use name your 00:52:31.280 --> 00:52:38.799 graphics card um trying to building a machine that is basically built around 00:52:36.920 --> 00:52:42.839 the idea that the hardware is not supposed to work together correctly is 00:52:40.839 --> 00:52:48.079 asking for trouble they going to have enough trouble with your computer 00:52:44.319 --> 00:52:50.119 because computers are finicky sometimes 00:52:48.079 --> 00:52:54.119 if you don't intentionally configure a computer that you know isn't supposed to 00:52:51.559 --> 00:52:58.960 work right so that's my two cents on that I probably won't address it again 00:52:56.240 --> 00:53:05.359 but there you go I don't recommend it razor Naga versus corser 90 personally 00:53:01.839 --> 00:53:07.680 I'd go Naga um the Naga has the 00:53:05.359 --> 00:53:10.920 advantage of having more reachable buttons for me because the buttons are 00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:13.599 all close together but the drawback of that is because they're so close 00:53:12.160 --> 00:53:20.240 together you can often accidentally hit them um however with the M90 I find the 00:53:17.359 --> 00:53:23.920 I find the buttons the uh the left and right click are a little sensitive for 00:53:21.640 --> 00:53:26.760 me they're almost like a hair trigger um and I put more weight on my mouse when 00:53:25.280 --> 00:53:31.720 I'm moving it around so I had a little bit of trouble with that although I got used to it after a while there's an M90 00:53:29.359 --> 00:53:35.400 on the machine that's right over there um but then for the side buttons because 00:53:34.000 --> 00:53:42.880 I have kind of small hands I found I wasn't able to really reach that many of them so Naga Naga works for me when I 00:53:40.280 --> 00:53:46.960 move my hands like an octopus it kills your your 00:53:44.359 --> 00:53:51.079 bandwidth that is uh that is that is probably the best tweet I've gotten on a 00:53:48.720 --> 00:53:55.480 live stream yet so so what you're saying is I shouldn't do this oh see I'm doing 00:53:53.920 --> 00:54:00.960 it but it's not counting because I didn't switch W does that kill anyone 00:53:58.640 --> 00:54:05.400 else's bandwidth I'm just curious go over to the uh go over to the twitch 00:54:03.200 --> 00:54:12.240 thing and see what that does nope okay fine forget it I guess 00:54:10.119 --> 00:54:15.960 you should get more bandwidth or something let's go ahead and back to 00:54:14.240 --> 00:54:24.680 Twitter yes lonus should I get a second 570 and 00:54:20.079 --> 00:54:27.599 runli or get a new 670 or 680 usually I 00:54:24.680 --> 00:54:31.440 would recommend selling your old card getting a new card especially cuz you 00:54:29.559 --> 00:54:35.000 can get 670s for pretty reasonable prices already the prices like started 00:54:33.599 --> 00:54:38.880 really high when they were super in demand and then they just kind of went like this and now they've leveled off a 00:54:37.440 --> 00:54:43.240 little bit so now is probably a good time to buy a 670 I mean a 660 Ti is a 00:54:41.760 --> 00:54:49.520 great option too unless you're running like super uber multim monitor in which 00:54:47.079 --> 00:54:53.640 case you probably need like two 670s and with like lots of RAM um 660 Ti is a 00:54:52.160 --> 00:54:57.000 great option once you overclock them they get pretty close to a 670 and you 00:54:55.839 --> 00:55:04.079 save anywhere from 70 to $100 depending on 00:54:59.920 --> 00:55:07.240 where you shop for your 670s and 660 00:55:04.079 --> 00:55:08.720 Ti Joel good question Joel would you use 00:55:07.240 --> 00:55:15.920 an affinity or surround setup for your personal rig for me no um it's not my 00:55:12.839 --> 00:55:18.359 preference I like to have a single very 00:55:15.920 --> 00:55:22.039 large format display for my personal machine however at work I don't know if 00:55:20.839 --> 00:55:28.280 you've ever seen something that I've filmed in my office um let me see if I let me see if 00:55:26.920 --> 00:55:33.520 I can actually find something that I filmed in my office 00:55:30.079 --> 00:55:35.559 so lonus giveaway I think I filmed a 00:55:33.520 --> 00:55:40.799 couple in my office oh yeah there's that one that's that's not my 00:55:38.000 --> 00:55:46.280 office um well if you've seen my office you'll 00:55:43.119 --> 00:55:48.119 know that I actually have four monitors 00:55:46.280 --> 00:55:52.920 four monitors on my desk at my office because I find for 00:55:50.520 --> 00:55:58.200 productivity this is awesome these these were so good the submissions for the uh 00:55:54.880 --> 00:55:59.880 for the Duke Nukem giveaway contest uh 00:55:58.200 --> 00:56:06.000 now I'm all now I'm all reminiscing and stuff because this is awesome this was a 00:56:02.119 --> 00:56:07.520 really good one uh let's see not not my 00:56:06.000 --> 00:56:10.680 favorite though let me see if I can find my favorite one totally just play this 00:56:09.680 --> 00:56:18.079 for you guys you know what you won't have audio anyway so I guess it doesn't really matter but uh for work multi 00:56:14.760 --> 00:56:20.039 monitor awesome prefer it for gaming I 00:56:18.079 --> 00:56:23.839 prefer a single monitor because I find the peripheral experience doesn't really 00:56:21.960 --> 00:56:29.839 add that much for for me personally got a good liquid cooler 00:56:25.920 --> 00:56:33.359 suggest question um get the h100 there 00:56:29.839 --> 00:56:35.359 you go sorry should go back to Twitter 00:56:33.359 --> 00:56:40.880 how are highend USB dacks compared to internal cards often actually better um 00:56:37.559 --> 00:56:43.319 if you can find a super awesome USB deck 00:56:40.880 --> 00:56:47.640 then you will get uh the advantage of having it completely removed from all 00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:52.760 the interference that's bouncing around inside of a computer chassis and you 00:56:50.039 --> 00:56:58.760 will also have the advantage of well I mean come on guys sound doesn't need a 00:56:55.000 --> 00:57:01.240 huge data rate USB 2 is a okay um so you 00:56:58.760 --> 00:57:06.119 got it removed you can also have the added space of having a larger enclosure 00:57:03.720 --> 00:57:11.480 so something like an ASUS Essence one would be an example of a product that 00:57:08.400 --> 00:57:13.520 would leverage both the uh the lack of 00:57:11.480 --> 00:57:18.880 interference oh my goodness it's lus video setion uh the lack of interference 00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:24.559 and the extra space so Essence one and it sounds so good I actually did a video 00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:29.880 about this thing at one point it only does uh it does headphones or 2.1 00:57:27.319 --> 00:57:36.480 speakers that's it uh but it does do upsampling and it just sounds amazing so 00:57:33.680 --> 00:57:39.599 my new my new audio setup is going to be uh once I finally get my personal rig 00:57:38.160 --> 00:57:44.599 back up and running is going to be the essence one for my headphones um the 00:57:42.200 --> 00:57:51.480 cors our sp2500 is running off my Zonar zent so my my sound card and then I'm 00:57:47.039 --> 00:57:54.039 going to have the um Thunder FX that got 00:57:51.480 --> 00:57:58.559 included with the Maximus 5 formula for my microphone in because it has an 00:57:56.240 --> 00:58:02.240 awesome like ambient noise cancelling thing so if the baby's crying it's got a 00:58:00.599 --> 00:58:05.480 microphone on the front that hears that the baby's crying and then that's not my 00:58:03.839 --> 00:58:10.559 voice because it also has a microphone Jack and it'll just cancel it out it's 00:58:08.079 --> 00:58:17.030 really freaking cool so that's uh that's going to be my new setup I'm just a 00:58:12.440 --> 00:58:19.359 little bit too far away change change 00:58:19.359 --> 00:58:27.480 please come on there we go 00:58:25.119 --> 00:58:31.359 awesome watched all videos and reviews I could find still can't decide on a good 00:58:29.000 --> 00:58:35.880 head at the compliment Z our DX d2x uh get a 7h bam can you shine some light on 00:58:34.319 --> 00:58:39.520 micro stutter and S and ways to prevent it there's nothing you can do to prevent 00:58:37.520 --> 00:58:44.240 it and personally I don't really see it so I can't comment on it too much some 00:58:41.480 --> 00:58:47.640 people really see it some people really don't are you still considering to 00:58:46.160 --> 00:58:54.520 launch a Europe store shipping to Europe I feel left out about not being able to buy what I said was you never know what 00:58:52.240 --> 00:59:02.280 the future holds I didn't say that that's that's happening so uh yeah let's 00:58:58.880 --> 00:59:04.920 not let's not read too much into 00:59:02.280 --> 00:59:08.200 things all right first time watching from John 00:59:06.240 --> 00:59:13.839 Salisbury what do you think about Gigabyte gpus they seem noticeably 00:59:10.400 --> 00:59:15.480 absent from every GPU review of yours um 00:59:13.839 --> 00:59:22.039 yeah they're good nothing wrong with them um it's just that whatever whatever 00:59:19.119 --> 00:59:28.720 I get sent often times is what I'll take a look at and for me I I I guess it 00:59:26.720 --> 00:59:31.280 comes down to personal philosophy because for 00:59:32.880 --> 00:59:40.599 me go go thank you for me I find stuff like 00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:46.359 this youtube.com kind of pointless um and I 00:59:43.640 --> 00:59:51.240 mean I love Paul um but I'm sure that he had to do 00:59:47.680 --> 00:59:55.039 this where they've got like look at this 00:59:51.240 --> 00:59:57.000 one reference card ah ah ah two 00:59:55.039 --> 01:00:04.079 reference cards ah three reference 00:59:59.799 --> 01:00:07.440 cards four reference oh man I mean it's 01:00:04.079 --> 01:00:09.520 tedious here another reference card uh 01:00:07.440 --> 01:00:15.440 uh uh uh what is that five five reference GTX 680s I mean that's cool 01:00:12.319 --> 01:00:17.839 and all but do you are they really 01:00:15.440 --> 01:00:22.640 different do you really care if I take the MSI one and I go okay here's the MSI 01:00:19.799 --> 01:00:26.520 one it's pretty balling um here's the Galaxy one it's oh it's got a different 01:00:24.799 --> 01:00:30.520 color sticker I don't think you guys want to see that 01:00:28.319 --> 01:00:34.520 I think that if you subscribe to this channel for the point of seeing a 01:00:32.559 --> 01:00:39.359 different video every day I would be doing a disservice if I uploaded the 01:00:36.920 --> 01:00:42.680 same video card five times in a row with a slightly different package and a 01:00:40.720 --> 01:00:48.200 slightly different sticker now when we come into video cards that are unique 01:00:46.680 --> 01:00:54.240 then we've got a different thing going on so for example the 7970 Matrix 01:00:51.680 --> 01:00:59.079 because it is so cool and so unique Justified its own full performance 01:00:56.480 --> 01:01:03.160 review and close look on the NC Tech tips Channel remember guys if you are 01:01:01.240 --> 01:01:08.920 only subscribed to me online as Tech tips then you are going to miss out on a 01:01:06.280 --> 01:01:13.160 lot of the deeper content that I'm doing for the ncx channel as well remember I 01:01:10.799 --> 01:01:17.039 worked there so I'm I'm the video spokesman there as well as maintaining 01:01:15.079 --> 01:01:21.240 lus Tech tips as more of like a bloggy style thing so this is apparently going 01:01:19.200 --> 01:01:24.799 to run in 1080P which is probably a little bit much for what we're doing 01:01:22.599 --> 01:01:27.920 this was also one of the First videos where diesel 01:01:28.200 --> 01:01:34.240 um started doing some of these really cool things with the with the new camera 01:01:32.400 --> 01:01:39.319 so I forget oh Sho I forget what he calls it but it's called like a like a 01:01:36.880 --> 01:01:43.400 something something fade or something where you can see the ASUS one is blurry 01:01:41.119 --> 01:01:48.880 and then it switches to being clear cuz he's changing the uh changing the focus 01:01:46.280 --> 01:01:54.039 and then the ASUS is clear and the 797s blurry and just looks super cool but uh 01:01:52.160 --> 01:01:57.480 but yeah so so what it comes down to is if there's something unique and 01:01:56.000 --> 01:02:04.240 different about it then sure yeah I don't mind taking a look at more than one card but when we're talking ASUS 01:02:00.760 --> 01:02:07.160 direct CU MSI twin frozer and gab wind 01:02:04.240 --> 01:02:12.319 Force we're talking dual fans some heat pipes some aluminum 01:02:10.039 --> 01:02:17.319 fins you want to see that five times I mean okay hey if you want to see that 01:02:14.559 --> 01:02:20.760 five times let me know and I can totally totally change my policy and I can start 01:02:19.440 --> 01:02:25.119 doing it differently but if you don't want to see that five times then that's 01:02:22.480 --> 01:02:30.880 cool too I have never watched Breaking Bad to someone who asked if I'm a fan of 01:02:27.200 --> 01:02:33.160 the show so I've heard it's great but I 01:02:30.880 --> 01:02:38.960 I have so little time these days that I haven't I haven't managed to watch TV in 01:02:36.319 --> 01:02:42.559 uh in in a very long time I hardly find time to watch my weekly zero 01:02:40.440 --> 01:02:48.920 punctuations so and that's like 5 minutes long um what type of case should 01:02:46.079 --> 01:02:52.640 I get for under 170 full ATX I don't know Define XL is probably not a bad 01:02:50.480 --> 01:02:56.640 choice I really like the Define XL but I hate it when people ask me what case to 01:02:54.200 --> 01:03:00.720 get without giving me any Conta you want quiet you want sort of a more aggressive 01:02:58.680 --> 01:03:04.559 Gamer look you know half XM would be a good choice in that case um I can't make 01:03:03.279 --> 01:03:08.680 this choice for you unless you give me some idea what the heck you're going 01:03:06.400 --> 01:03:13.000 for uh I'll be doing another giveaway at some point um maybe soon maybe I'm 01:03:11.160 --> 01:03:17.119 filming something this weekend no promises or anything though when your 01:03:15.480 --> 01:03:22.680 son gets older and all his friends are getting consoles will you build him an 01:03:18.880 --> 01:03:24.960 amazing rig and make them cry 01:03:22.680 --> 01:03:29.039 um before all his friends are getting consoles he'll already have an amazing 01:03:26.720 --> 01:03:33.160 rig and I'll encourage him to take his amazing rig over to his friends houses 01:03:31.160 --> 01:03:36.160 and it'll be like so massive and heavy that he can just drop it on their 01:03:34.480 --> 01:03:39.680 consoles and literally crush them because the PC as a gaming platform 01:03:38.200 --> 01:03:46.599 literally well doesn't literally but crushes console so yes he will he will 01:03:42.520 --> 01:03:48.720 fully understand the value of of the PC 01:03:46.599 --> 01:03:53.480 as a gaming platform versus consoles cuz consoles are for conso 01:03:51.440 --> 01:03:57.079 people which is pretty much all you need to know about them no I'm just kidding 01:03:55.559 --> 01:04:04.839 you guys who play games on consoles you're cool too Luke asks h100 or an hd14 and a 600t 01:04:02.839 --> 01:04:09.039 I would go with the h100 personally get Ivory bridge now or wait 01:04:06.960 --> 01:04:12.400 for Haswell I'm impossible to say so many people again Ask me these questions 01:04:11.079 --> 01:04:19.319 I don't know because I don't know how Haswell performs I don't know how much it costs so you guys are asking me to 01:04:15.920 --> 01:04:21.839 solve for to solve for okay so H see 01:04:19.319 --> 01:04:26.640 this is a great example algebra so X let's say x is yes and Y is no or 01:04:24.039 --> 01:04:30.880 something so solve for this yes or no variable and then you've got like the 01:04:29.200 --> 01:04:35.000 current thing and then you've got the future thing which is also a variable so 01:04:33.359 --> 01:04:38.880 actually I can't solve for this variable without knowing this variable so those 01:04:36.480 --> 01:04:42.039 of you who are like well have at least completed a high school level Math 01:04:40.279 --> 01:04:47.599 course will know what I'm talking about lus what's the input leg like with 01:04:44.480 --> 01:04:50.480 the ASUS pb278 Q leg uh very good 01:04:47.599 --> 01:04:56.119 actually for a 2560 by 1440 monitor uh outstanding color excellent little bit 01:04:53.559 --> 01:05:00.640 of motion blur not bad though really like it great 01:04:58.240 --> 01:05:03.520 monitor um Kudos tus I'm going back to sleep okay good night I guess he's 01:05:02.039 --> 01:05:11.119 probably gone by now since that was 7 minutes ago um would an I 01:05:07.799 --> 01:05:12.920 33220 last me until Intel Sky Lake wow 01:05:11.119 --> 01:05:16.559 this is taking it even further check out this tweet guys so I was I was just 01:05:14.599 --> 01:05:20.880 talking about how I can't speculate on the next platform that's coming and I'm 01:05:19.240 --> 01:05:25.760 being asked about something that's not even due to be released for 3 years come 01:05:22.720 --> 01:05:30.000 on Jason um will it last you I don't I 01:05:25.760 --> 01:05:32.799 don't know I I mean h it's impossible to 01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:36.520 say what how multi-threading aware games are going to become without knowing what 01:05:34.599 --> 01:05:40.839 the heck you're doing with your computer like are you going to be rendering 4K 01:05:38.440 --> 01:05:45.000 videos in that case your i33 220 is going to get squished like a bug 01:05:45.240 --> 01:05:51.240 um sorry man I I I mean if you've been 01:05:48.640 --> 01:05:54.920 using an e7400 until now and that's worked for you then what I know about 01:05:53.640 --> 01:06:00.119 your usage model is that you don't upgrade that often So based on that I'd say that you're 01:05:58.480 --> 01:06:03.839 getting a pretty equivalent processor today so maybe could that last you 01:06:02.079 --> 01:06:08.720 another 3 years probably that's the only way I can answer that question though is 01:06:06.000 --> 01:06:12.480 an overclock 670 better than a stock 680 um yes but you could also overclock a 01:06:10.920 --> 01:06:17.200 680 so there you go any experience with any 01:06:15.559 --> 01:06:21.359 of the cyborg gaming my keyboards I played around with a with a rat 01:06:18.799 --> 01:06:24.400 something or other which is is that yeah cyborg now I think they changed their 01:06:22.720 --> 01:06:29.079 branding not that long ago so it's very confusing but but um yeah it was okay 01:06:27.319 --> 01:06:33.039 felt good tensor felt good I didn't really like the modularity of the mouse 01:06:31.000 --> 01:06:37.079 cuz I can personally find mice that are comfortable for me already and I found 01:06:34.480 --> 01:06:41.160 it just kind of it's kind of weird but uh but lots of people lots of people 01:06:38.760 --> 01:06:46.359 like them I'm not meowing on the live stream thanks to Eduardo for his uh for 01:06:43.880 --> 01:06:52.520 his suggestion there oh sorry I'm not on the Twitter thing please meow no thank 01:06:49.359 --> 01:06:53.839 you uh I just bought SP 2500s is it 01:06:52.520 --> 01:06:58.680 supposed to hiss when it's turned on and nothing's playing there may be a light 01:06:56.039 --> 01:07:02.760 hiss but if it's loud then that might be something where you want to look into 01:07:00.240 --> 01:07:08.680 ring those with Corsair um nine times out of 10 uh it's something to do with 01:07:04.680 --> 01:07:12.520 the amp so for example um my old Monsoon 01:07:08.680 --> 01:07:14.480 mm 2000s had quite a HS to them and it 01:07:12.520 --> 01:07:17.920 ended up it ended up being caused by the amp so there's really nothing you can do 01:07:15.920 --> 01:07:21.480 about it with these with these kit speakers because you can't just replace 01:07:20.480 --> 01:07:26.039 the uh the amp what graphics card would be good for 01:07:23.760 --> 01:07:29.160 a 19 to 21 inch monitor this is something I've wanted to talk about on 01:07:27.200 --> 01:07:36.319 the live stream for a while the size of your monitor has nothing to do with how 01:07:32.799 --> 01:07:37.960 much graphics card horsepower requires 01:07:36.319 --> 01:07:44.359 I'm going to let that SN in for a second the only thing that matters is how many 01:07:40.599 --> 01:07:46.480 pixels so for example a lot of people 01:07:44.359 --> 01:07:54.079 were really confused back when I released this video the uh the GeForce 01:07:49.480 --> 01:07:56.119 GTX 590 triple projector ultimate 01:07:54.079 --> 01:08:02.799 panoramic game Experience 01:07:57.720 --> 01:08:02.799 episode um and that's me at my best of 01:08:04.559 --> 01:08:13.880 course yeah there you go uh because they were like holy crap how does a graphics 01:08:10.440 --> 01:08:16.359 card power you know a uh a 200 in 01:08:13.880 --> 01:08:21.159 display to which I responded well these are three 720p monitors so if you 01:08:18.440 --> 01:08:26.480 actually do the math it's not that much more intensive than powering a single 01:08:22.839 --> 01:08:28.120 1080p monitor off a GTX 5 90 which 01:08:26.480 --> 01:08:33.279 definitely has the horses for it so don't don't worry about that um so yeah 01:08:30.640 --> 01:08:39.719 guys only pixels it doesn't matter if you're running a 1080p 23in monitor or 01:08:36.759 --> 01:08:44.159 if you're running a 1080p 70in TV it requires exactly the same amount of 01:08:41.960 --> 01:08:47.440 Graphics power in order to achieve the results that you are looking for so I 01:08:46.159 --> 01:08:55.199 would need to know what resolution your monitor is however based on what I know about 19 and 21 in monitors um anything 01:08:52.279 --> 01:08:58.400 higher than a GTX 650 TI you're probably not not going to see as much benefit 01:08:56.839 --> 01:09:01.799 something like a 660 Ti would be the maximum I would spend for a resolution 01:09:00.040 --> 01:09:04.319 like that and you'd be able to crank up absolutely 01:09:05.199 --> 01:09:11.080 everything excuse me what is the absolute smallest case that can fit a 2X 01:09:09.480 --> 01:09:15.799 100 radiator you know what that's a great 01:09:13.400 --> 01:09:21.600 question um and because I don't know off the top of my head I would love for I 01:09:18.799 --> 01:09:25.440 would love for um anyone else who's on Twitter to reply to Matthew last year 01:09:23.359 --> 01:09:29.400 and let him know if there's any super small cases that you've seen are 01:09:26.920 --> 01:09:34.759 confirmed to fit a corser h100 good question Jacob asks would I 01:09:32.440 --> 01:09:40.279 ever use an AMD graphics card well I'd use it for lots of things my wife's 01:09:36.120 --> 01:09:42.440 computer has a 5870 in it um I have used 01:09:40.279 --> 01:09:46.560 a AMD graphics cards in the past my first my first I mean I'll call it 01:09:45.279 --> 01:09:51.560 highend but it wasn't really high-end but it was a couple hundred bucks few hundred bucks my first highend graphics 01:09:50.040 --> 01:09:56.120 card that I bought Beyond using like onboard or Cheapo entry level stuff was 01:09:53.400 --> 01:10:00.679 an Allin Wonder 9600 Pro so that was that was kind of back in the 01:09:57.800 --> 01:10:07.320 day now but that was a fantastic card loved it from there I upgraded to uh an 01:10:03.640 --> 01:10:13.760 x800 Pro from there I went to an x800 01:10:07.320 --> 01:10:16.080 XT um I used a 3870 HD 3870 at one point 01:10:13.760 --> 01:10:21.320 because that was a cool card you could take off the aircool shrouded thing that 01:10:19.400 --> 01:10:24.960 was only connected to the GPU and it actually had a built-in unisync so all 01:10:23.440 --> 01:10:31.520 you had to do was throw a GPU water block on on it and you were ready to go that was a very cool card um I have a 01:10:28.520 --> 01:10:32.679 2900 XT in my work machine uh let me 01:10:31.520 --> 01:10:37.840 just think if there's anything newer than that that I have used not since 01:10:35.360 --> 01:10:41.600 then yeah not since then um my biggest problem with 01:10:39.880 --> 01:10:45.640 reference AMD cards is they tend to exhibit more coil line than their NVIDIA 01:10:43.719 --> 01:10:49.679 counterparts and again because I'm a silence freak it almost has nothing to 01:10:47.760 --> 01:10:54.480 do with performance for me I will take a card that performs 30% slower and is 01:10:51.960 --> 01:10:59.840 silent versus one that is like bleeding edge fast and 01:10:57.440 --> 01:11:03.960 goes you know whenever it's loading games and textures and stuff like that I 01:11:01.480 --> 01:11:07.440 find that just super super obnoxious nice gaming laptop can you 01:11:06.040 --> 01:11:13.280 tell us if the fatality sound card is better than the feus absolutely not ASUS 01:11:11.280 --> 01:11:17.880 is the king when it comes to sound cards these days the Feebas is way better than 01:11:15.840 --> 01:11:21.800 the fatality sound card which is like a 5-year-old design at this point is it 01:11:20.360 --> 01:11:26.640 possible to buy just the hydrocopper water block for the 680 I don't believe 01:11:23.880 --> 01:11:29.320 so evj only sells the with video cards however you could get a different water 01:11:28.120 --> 01:11:33.600 block that would probably be better than the hydrocopper anyway and put that on 01:11:31.600 --> 01:11:38.480 your 680 uh good point Andrew I have not used 01:11:36.520 --> 01:11:44.159 The Cooler Master CM Storm trigger but I'm very excited about the uh the brown 01:11:41.480 --> 01:11:49.840 brown switches lus would you recommend mechanical keyboards it doesn't even 01:11:46.480 --> 01:11:51.040 matter for FPS gaming put in four blank 01:11:49.840 --> 01:11:55.920 yes I would recommend mechanical keyboards they are way better than anything else you know I actually spent 01:11:54.440 --> 01:12:01.320 a fair bit of time with the Mamba back when it was released good question what 01:11:57.639 --> 01:12:03.840 do I think of the razor Mamba it is very 01:12:01.320 --> 01:12:07.520 responsive so in terms of the input latency it is 01:12:05.719 --> 01:12:13.719 outstanding didn't really like the ergonomics that much um which to me is 01:12:11.360 --> 01:12:16.840 sort of a killer but let me see if I can actually that was one of my favorite 01:12:15.000 --> 01:12:26.480 videos that I ever did was my Razer Mambo one uh let's see a chill wow 01:12:23.520 --> 01:12:34.080 really six 180,000 views on a mamba 01:12:30.120 --> 01:12:35.679 video wow that's outstanding uh let's 01:12:34.080 --> 01:12:43.040 see if I can let's see if I can find mine there we go ncixcom razor Mamba 01:12:39.679 --> 01:12:45.159 from April 16th 2019 so our video 01:12:43.040 --> 01:12:50.840 quality wasn't wasn't what it uh wasn't what it is now this is awesome though I 01:12:47.560 --> 01:12:52.960 actually sing the Mamba song M Mamba 01:12:50.840 --> 01:12:57.600 number five and this is this is cameraman 01:12:55.400 --> 01:13:02.159 comment here see so so I made up my own sort of lyrics to uh to Mambo Number 01:13:00.000 --> 01:13:07.080 Five make that go away I'll let you guys sort of you know 01:13:04.280 --> 01:13:07.080 sing along in your 01:13:07.560 --> 01:13:14.280 heads but yeah if you if you watch that if you watch that video you can enjoy 01:13:11.560 --> 01:13:17.719 the you can enjoy my my terrible singing um and I basically said everything I 01:13:15.719 --> 01:13:21.480 think about the Mamba in that video I didn't end up using it so I guess that 01:13:20.320 --> 01:13:28.800 should be all you need to know at a certain level um sorry not my much time with the 01:13:26.120 --> 01:13:33.800 side X4 so I can't really comment yes you can have a shout out to the Danish 01:13:30.639 --> 01:13:35.920 viewers hi Danish viewers thank you for 01:13:33.800 --> 01:13:40.719 watching this live stream and I hope you're enjoying it um actually I want to 01:13:38.080 --> 01:13:46.120 check my my live stream ideas thing ah shout out to Mexico viewers I did 01:13:42.400 --> 01:13:47.840 promise that and then I also wanted to 01:13:46.120 --> 01:13:53.000 talk about single versus multi-rail power supplies so tell you what since 01:13:50.360 --> 01:13:58.199 you twitch people are all whining and griping every time I try and talk about 01:13:54.800 --> 01:14:00.360 something other than Q&A would you guys 01:13:58.199 --> 01:14:03.239 like to hear about single rail versus multi-rail or would you like to complain 01:14:02.280 --> 01:14:10.719 some more okay I'm 01:14:05.600 --> 01:14:12.120 listening Z no no yes no no yes yes yes 01:14:10.719 --> 01:14:18.199 you guys can't make up your mind so I'm just going to do it because I think it's a good idea single rail versus multi 01:14:15.600 --> 01:14:22.800 rail power supplies so basically most modern power supplies 01:14:21.360 --> 01:14:28.199 and I okay maybe I shouldn't say most but many modern power supplies actually 01:14:25.840 --> 01:14:34.280 are taking a virtual approach to a multi-rail design so while all of the 01:14:31.600 --> 01:14:40.440 power is being generated with a single 12vt rail it is using electronic 01:14:37.880 --> 01:14:46.639 technology to separate them out and then Implement safety mechanisms on a per 01:14:43.600 --> 01:14:48.800 rail basis on Virtual rails that's why 01:14:46.639 --> 01:14:53.120 you even see power supplies that have switches between single Rail and 01:14:51.159 --> 01:14:57.639 multirail so this means a couple of things so number one 01:14:55.360 --> 01:15:03.199 is that it means that your multi-rail power supply is can be a little okay 01:15:00.960 --> 01:15:08.280 let's let's step way back multi-rail why does it exist multirail came around 01:15:05.639 --> 01:15:12.120 originally back in the P4 days when it came to be that we were drawing 01:15:10.040 --> 01:15:17.840 dramatically more power from the 12volt rail all of a sudden so power supply 01:15:14.840 --> 01:15:19.639 manufacturers were kind of like oh well 01:15:17.840 --> 01:15:24.639 this is a lot of amperage to put on one rail and the ATX specification changed 01:15:22.639 --> 01:15:31.679 to actually require multi-rail power suppli for ATX V whatever Point whatever 01:15:28.320 --> 01:15:35.159 um specification compliancy for a while 01:15:31.679 --> 01:15:37.280 so then what happened after that was 01:15:35.159 --> 01:15:42.000 stuff continued to draw more and more power from the 12vt rail and so video 01:15:39.760 --> 01:15:47.280 cards and CPUs particularly I mean back when Intel's penum D series those things 01:15:44.760 --> 01:15:51.880 were power Hogs you wouldn't believe a motherboard that I saw once that had the 01:15:49.360 --> 01:15:55.800 entire vrm like it was one of those ASUS cardboard color boards you know those 01:15:53.360 --> 01:16:01.840 older orangey yellow ones the entire back of the board was like brown brown 01:15:59.199 --> 01:16:05.400 where the mosfets were in spite of the cooling fan that was blowing air down on 01:16:03.719 --> 01:16:08.880 them because those things Drew so much power they ran so hot so so what 01:16:07.639 --> 01:16:12.719 happened was we split it out into multirail so that when we when safety 01:16:11.320 --> 01:16:18.600 mechanisms were applied to the individual rails it wouldn't be so much 01:16:15.239 --> 01:16:20.880 power that it would just explode okay in 01:16:18.600 --> 01:16:24.480 layman's terms then what happened we started drawing more power from the 12vt 01:16:22.480 --> 01:16:29.239 rail and we started running into issues where if the manufacturer didn't 01:16:26.280 --> 01:16:34.480 Implement multirail correctly if you plugged in your CPU and then your GPU 01:16:32.480 --> 01:16:37.199 accidentally because it was all Molex powered back then so your CPU and all 01:16:36.199 --> 01:16:42.920 your hard drives you had them all running off the same rail on the power supply even though you had a 450 wat 01:16:41.520 --> 01:16:47.360 power supply and your system only Drew 300 watts from it you could run into 01:16:45.440 --> 01:16:50.360 situations where your system would just power down as soon as you got under 01:16:49.159 --> 01:16:55.000 gaming load and uh that caused a big problem 01:16:52.639 --> 01:16:58.840 for gamers and we started to see single rail power supplies come back to 01:16:57.040 --> 01:17:03.440 prevalence I mean guys like PC power and cooling have sort of always been all 01:17:00.520 --> 01:17:07.360 about single rail um of course s has stayed predominantly single rail for 01:17:05.040 --> 01:17:12.480 their very high-end stuff XFX is single rail on their high-end stuff um 01:17:09.440 --> 01:17:15.280 especially now um however that issue's 01:17:12.480 --> 01:17:20.159 pretty much gone um I mean even even power supplies like anex high current 01:17:17.920 --> 01:17:24.920 Quattro was it or high current Pro High current Quattro it was a multi-rail 01:17:22.080 --> 01:17:29.239 design but I was still because they've added more sort of overflow onto each 01:17:26.880 --> 01:17:32.480 individual rail so one rail so just because you've got like let's say 100 o 01:17:30.840 --> 01:17:36.520 total and then you got 10 rails you don't go 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 01:17:34.639 --> 01:17:40.639 10 it doesn't work that way you can go each of these rails can handle 22 amps 01:17:38.560 --> 01:17:43.440 maximum but obviously you couldn't load them all at 22 amps because that would 01:17:42.080 --> 01:17:49.520 exceed the maximum total current capability of the power supply so that 01:17:45.639 --> 01:17:51.520 means that you can sort of borrow power 01:17:49.520 --> 01:17:55.560 from one rail to another with the modern implementations of multi-rail designs in 01:17:53.880 --> 01:17:59.000 order to whether they're virtual or whether they're real in order to 01:17:57.239 --> 01:18:02.360 maintain that safety where you're not running so much power through one wire 01:18:00.800 --> 01:18:08.480 to the point where you can actually like melt connectors it's happened um but 01:18:05.920 --> 01:18:14.679 you're able to uh borrow that power so I was able to run a dual coolit borus 01:18:12.159 --> 01:18:17.600 liquid cooling Tech units off of one of those power supplies in spite of its 01:18:16.120 --> 01:18:23.560 multi-rail configuration and that's a couple year old unit now so single rail 01:18:21.159 --> 01:18:26.760 multi-rail which is the right choice personally I don't think about it to to 01:18:24.920 --> 01:18:31.800 much I buy the power supply that I like in terms of you know Cable Management in 01:18:29.360 --> 01:18:36.360 terms of the cooling in terms of how quiet it is the XFX one I'm using now 01:18:34.199 --> 01:18:40.400 and some of the cic ones actually have a hybrid fan control so if the load's 01:18:38.320 --> 01:18:45.800 under 50% it doesn't turn the fan on at all yay perfect for silence freaks 01:18:43.480 --> 01:18:49.880 that's basically like buying a 500 wat passive power 01:18:47.280 --> 01:18:54.840 supply awesome fan only turns on when you're gaming perfect so um it happens 01:18:52.880 --> 01:18:58.080 to be a single rail does it matter to me not really you haven't I haven't heard 01:18:56.280 --> 01:19:01.880 too many stories of people's computers blowing up due to single rail power 01:18:59.600 --> 01:19:05.760 supplies um but companies like antech that tend to do things very like byy 01:19:03.679 --> 01:19:11.520 book um we'll probably continue to implement multirail and that's fine too 01:19:08.239 --> 01:19:14.679 so there I hope that wasn't too boring 01:19:11.520 --> 01:19:16.679 for you guys and that you haven't all 01:19:14.679 --> 01:19:22.719 like tuned out because I'm talking about power supplies so let's go ahead and go 01:19:18.840 --> 01:19:25.560 back to Twitter and see if we can uh get 01:19:22.719 --> 01:19:31.280 this to switch there we go Graphics difference between VGA DVI and HDMI um 01:19:29.000 --> 01:19:35.400 VGA sucks DVI is higher bandwidth than HDMI and HDMI is lower bandwidth than 01:19:33.880 --> 01:19:39.199 DVI which only matters if you're running a higher resolution Ivan I'm on 01:19:37.320 --> 01:19:43.159 broadband 250 but they haven't managed to fix my upload yet so I'm only on 5 01:19:41.199 --> 01:19:49.320 megabit up so I'm actually calling Shaw tomorrow to complain about that and get 01:19:45.960 --> 01:19:52.360 the uh the difference in price addressed 01:19:49.320 --> 01:19:55.080 by them oo Wes how do you feel about 01:19:52.360 --> 01:19:58.159 ocz's stock dropping 70% in the past week or so I actually know a lot of 01:19:56.320 --> 01:20:04.400 people at ocz they're they're like they're my Bros um but I got to say it's 01:20:01.080 --> 01:20:06.679 looking ugly right now for you know all 01:20:04.400 --> 01:20:11.280 the people that are leaving I mean and I I know a couple guys who are who are 01:20:08.440 --> 01:20:17.360 gone um the way that they're stock has gone like this well no it's gone more 01:20:13.480 --> 01:20:19.719 like this and then like this and then um 01:20:17.360 --> 01:20:23.600 you know what great products Vertex 4 particularly is just awesome I mean it 01:20:22.080 --> 01:20:26.960 was the first time they'd really released something that was truly their 01:20:25.199 --> 01:20:31.760 own not I mean Revo drive is kind of their own but it's 01:20:28.560 --> 01:20:33.360 like their own implementation of like 01:20:31.760 --> 01:20:38.719 someone else's RAID controller and someone else's controller with someone else's firmware whereas Vertex 4 at 01:20:36.320 --> 01:20:43.159 least had their own firmware on a Marvel controller um so I don't know I I hope 01:20:41.120 --> 01:20:48.040 they pull out of this maybe they'll get acquired maybe they'll maybe they'll 01:20:44.719 --> 01:20:50.600 figure it out but uh if you're asking me 01:20:48.040 --> 01:20:54.639 if I'd invest in ocz today the answer is probably probably 01:20:52.000 --> 01:21:00.520 not would you recommend any hardware for interfacing recording live music you 01:20:56.719 --> 01:21:02.159 know what I'm not the expert um on that 01:21:00.520 --> 01:21:06.480 unfortunately what do I think about Windows 8 I'm excited for the snappiness 01:21:04.960 --> 01:21:11.600 the quick boot times and all that good stuff but I'm I'm less excited for how 01:21:09.360 --> 01:21:15.440 unexcited other people are not a question but please do a 01:21:13.960 --> 01:21:20.360 followup of some of the stuff you take a first look at some products are 01:21:17.080 --> 01:21:22.480 interesting to see me test right up till 01:21:20.360 --> 01:21:26.280 now the problem has been that I'm very time constrained so I do have a 01:21:24.040 --> 01:21:31.679 full-time job NCI for those of you who think that I make like a billion dollars 01:21:28.760 --> 01:21:36.560 on YouTube and that's sort of how I make my living it's really not how it works 01:21:33.639 --> 01:21:41.040 for me um I do have a real job and then YouTube is like is like it's great and 01:21:38.440 --> 01:21:45.040 it's fun and it is part of my job but it is not something that I can afford to 01:21:42.920 --> 01:21:49.560 spend more than maybe a day a day and a half a week I mean honestly even doing 01:21:47.320 --> 01:21:53.400 things like live streams if you guys sort of noticed what time it is it's 01:21:51.639 --> 01:21:59.360 Friday night at 10:30 do you think I'm on the clock for work 01:21:55.040 --> 01:22:01.560 the answer would be no um so I mean I do 01:21:59.360 --> 01:22:06.840 this because I enjoy it because it's fun because I mean you guys have supported 01:22:03.239 --> 01:22:09.920 me so much but uh I just don't have the 01:22:06.840 --> 01:22:12.320 time so if in the future that changes 01:22:09.920 --> 01:22:15.960 yes I would be happy to do more in-depth looks at things but for now I'm going to 01:22:14.760 --> 01:22:21.920 have to pretty much stick with the way it is if you want to see the more in-depth looks that I do do make sure 01:22:19.199 --> 01:22:27.280 you're subscribed to the ncixcom channel I haven't used those nmax fans 01:22:24.800 --> 01:22:31.760 can you set up two-way Affinity I really don't understand you saying um that's 01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:37.800 not what Affinity is ifinity is three monitors or more and then two-way so 01:22:35.159 --> 01:22:43.360 that so GTX 560 doesn't support ifinity um okay if you're asking if you 01:22:40.719 --> 01:22:48.280 can run two monitors off of a GTX 560 the answer is yes so there you go uh 01:22:46.800 --> 01:22:52.800 what's the best power supply uh just grab like an HX 750 or 01:22:51.440 --> 01:22:58.080 something it's a great choice for a configuration like that 01:22:56.400 --> 01:23:03.159 William says my question will be answered cool what do you think is the 01:23:00.639 --> 01:23:07.560 best case under 80 bucks uh Corsair has one coming the 200r that I think is very 01:23:05.679 --> 01:23:10.880 exciting I'm actually I haven't unboxed it yet I haven't seen it in person yet 01:23:09.239 --> 01:23:15.840 but I think that might be a great choice for around 80 01:23:13.360 --> 01:23:19.560 bucks uh how much radiator surface area in a custom water cooling Loop do what 01:23:17.400 --> 01:23:24.080 you need for a CPU GPU configuration great great question Sawyer um generally 01:23:21.960 --> 01:23:31.360 speaking the the rule that I follow is one 120 mm radiator per heat Source at 01:23:29.040 --> 01:23:36.239 least and then double that if you want a silent system so if you have a CPU and a 01:23:33.480 --> 01:23:40.480 GPU you're going to want at least a dual rad if you want to run super low RPM 01:23:38.600 --> 01:23:44.199 fans and have like a silent system you're going to want at least a quad 01:23:42.320 --> 01:23:48.280 that's my my general sort of thing that I do Juan says shout out it's my 01:23:46.360 --> 01:23:52.040 birthday shout out to Juan happy birthday and all that good stuff 6: a.m. 01:23:51.040 --> 01:24:00.000 in watching lonus you are the man Fus fuse dis 01:23:57.159 --> 01:24:04.000 that's awesome love it will an 8150 bottleneck dual 797s oh 01:24:04.320 --> 01:24:09.560 Lawrence the 8150 will perform at often 01:24:08.239 --> 01:24:14.960 times like 70% the frame rate of a 01:24:12.120 --> 01:24:20.040 3570k I mean I get a lot of flack um from viewers from time to time for being 01:24:16.880 --> 01:24:22.320 an Intel Fanboy but the reality of it is 01:24:20.040 --> 01:24:25.840 the way that I evaluate Hardware is this is the product and this is what it does 01:24:24.600 --> 01:24:32.120 and this is the other product and this is what it does and if this product does less than this one does then it's not as 01:24:29.719 --> 01:24:38.520 good it's not fanboyism it's not it's just reality it's like reality check 01:24:34.080 --> 01:24:39.520 8150 is not a highend CPU it costs see 01:24:38.520 --> 01:24:48.560 this comes back to something I was talking about earlier why do things cost what they do the 8150 they can branded 01:24:44.000 --> 01:24:50.679 FX all they want but the 8150 is $179.99 01:24:48.560 --> 01:24:56.080 on sale because it is worth $179.99 on sale in spite of the fact 01:24:53.440 --> 01:25:00.239 that it is an 8 processor and it is an absolute beast when it comes to video 01:24:58.239 --> 01:25:05.320 editing and uh that's that's all there is to really 01:25:02.639 --> 01:25:11.440 say lus I'm buying a gaming mouse mly mainly for FPS games any advice um I 01:25:07.239 --> 01:25:13.360 don't know steel series uh Sensei um 01:25:11.440 --> 01:25:17.920 mionix mice are pretty good really like meic 01:25:14.840 --> 01:25:20.199 mice on my laptop what's better a hard 01:25:17.920 --> 01:25:24.040 drive password or a BIOS password or both use the encryption on your hard 01:25:22.360 --> 01:25:31.639 drive the BIOS password does almost nothing so BIOS password is only relevant if you 01:25:27.880 --> 01:25:33.719 want people to not go into your BIOS and 01:25:31.639 --> 01:25:37.960 change your boot order whoops change your boot order for example which I 01:25:35.520 --> 01:25:41.960 think is a non-factor for most people all right last Twitter question of the 01:25:39.960 --> 01:25:46.920 night and just before we do that I want to thank all 1,700 of you for tuning in 01:25:44.400 --> 01:25:52.920 this is fantastic you guys make me feel very very loved and uh and that that is 01:25:50.040 --> 01:25:57.639 absolutely thrilling you guys are just awesome and uh let's go ahead and go 01:25:56.040 --> 01:26:02.760 back to Twitter so I'm going to kind of roll the dice and oh people want to see 01:26:00.560 --> 01:26:07.360 the cat okay you know what I will see what I can do I'll see what I can do 01:26:04.800 --> 01:26:12.639 about summoning the cat Rumble 01:26:09.440 --> 01:26:14.480 Rumble come here 01:26:12.639 --> 01:26:18.560 sweetheart Rumble he usually comes when I call if 01:26:16.760 --> 01:26:21.560 he's not sleeping or trapped somewhere Rumble 01:26:24.480 --> 01:26:30.960 and I usually use snapping when I'm pointing at like a bug or something I 01:26:27.840 --> 01:26:33.040 want them to kill so uh they often come 01:26:30.960 --> 01:26:36.040 when I snap my fingers as well 01:26:37.080 --> 01:26:42.400 Rumble I hear him meowing you know what he might be trapped in a room okay okay 01:26:41.119 --> 01:26:45.480 I'm going to bring Rumble for a guest appearance I'll be right 01:26:53.239 --> 01:26:57.239 back for 01:27:24.239 --> 01:27:29.639 sorry guys I forgot rumble's actually really not feeling well so I shouldn't 01:27:27.960 --> 01:27:34.960 have been calling him anyway but I brought rocket to visit rocket say hi to 01:27:32.040 --> 01:27:40.440 the camera Rocket's really more camera shy than his brother say hi see this is 01:27:38.080 --> 01:27:45.080 this is my this is my boy so for those of you who aren't familiar with my cats 01:27:42.480 --> 01:27:50.679 they are Bengals which is sort of a cool breed that involves this kind of uh 01:27:47.520 --> 01:27:53.119 leopard print sort of thing that they 01:27:50.679 --> 01:27:58.320 got going on here so hopefully this is HD enough that you guys can can see him 01:27:55.560 --> 01:28:03.440 so he's uh he is not a marbled bangle he is a spotted bangle you can get them in 01:28:00.719 --> 01:28:07.159 a variety of different sort of configurations uh marble is just like a 01:28:05.639 --> 01:28:12.000 different coat pattern and then you can get this is a golden color and then you 01:28:09.719 --> 01:28:18.920 can also get them in silver which is significantly more rare and uh and very 01:28:16.880 --> 01:28:24.760 very expensive I think for a breeding female silver bangle uh the breeder was 01:28:22.320 --> 01:28:30.159 saying something along lines of 15 G to 25 grand um depending on the the quality 01:28:28.760 --> 01:28:33.880 of the cat in terms of their coat and whatever else these are pet quality cats 01:28:32.199 --> 01:28:38.159 so they have imperfections that make them not conform to the breed standard 01:28:36.040 --> 01:28:43.679 or whatever else but there I brought my cat to visit hopefully you guys enjoyed 01:28:40.679 --> 01:28:46.920 that and 01:28:43.679 --> 01:28:48.280 uh yes and I have oh come on the twitch 01:28:46.920 --> 01:28:55.440 people are giving me a hard time not talking about my cat like it's an item I 01:28:50.520 --> 01:28:57.719 mean my cat um but Bang breed is an item 01:28:55.440 --> 01:29:03.199 so let's put it that way it's my dad's birthday remind you to congratulate him 01:29:00.880 --> 01:29:08.639 I this is just like the weirdest tweet ever I don't think I don't think that's 01:29:04.920 --> 01:29:13.960 going to work all right so let's find 01:29:08.639 --> 01:29:16.520 one more one more to answer you know 01:29:13.960 --> 01:29:21.280 what let's go with this one Mark what do you think about sharing your idle 01:29:19.119 --> 01:29:25.199 computer time to dedicate your CPU to scientific research via the Internet so 01:29:23.360 --> 01:29:33.280 he's referring to projects like folding at home SE uh boink um my comment on 01:29:29.239 --> 01:29:34.920 that has been that as long as it's uh as 01:29:33.280 --> 01:29:38.719 long as it's not disruptive to my computer using experience and what I 01:29:36.840 --> 01:29:42.440 found last time I tried to really get into folding was that it was making it 01:29:40.760 --> 01:29:47.239 so my games were crashing all the time I haven't tried in a while but other than 01:29:44.840 --> 01:29:52.679 that it's great the drawback is that you do usually see a significant increase in 01:29:49.880 --> 01:29:55.000 your power usage so if you can afford the extra little bit of money or if 01:29:53.840 --> 01:29:59.119 that's something that you want to contribute um you know folding at home 01:29:57.440 --> 01:30:03.440 has been doing actually a lot of really cool research uh boink I'm less familiar 01:30:01.760 --> 01:30:09.400 with what they're doing I think SEI is looking for extraterrestrial life or 01:30:05.159 --> 01:30:12.320 something along those lines but uh yeah 01:30:09.400 --> 01:30:18.000 great idea but your room and your computer will run hotter your power Bild 01:30:15.520 --> 01:30:21.960 will be more um so as long as you factor those things into whatever decision you 01:30:19.520 --> 01:30:25.719 make then you should be good to go thank you guys for checking out the live 01:30:23.760 --> 01:30:31.280 stream tonight and again thank you for all of your support and good night from 01:30:28.800 --> 01:30:36.920 Canada or good morning or wherever the heck you guys are I'm going go ahead and 01:30:33.560 --> 01:30:36.920 turn my camera off 01:30:37.000 --> 01:30:42.880 now and fous Jafar asks is the M4 better 01:30:41.400 --> 01:30:46.360 than the vertex 3 you know what they're pretty darn close so uh it doesn't 01:30:45.199 --> 01:30:52.360 really make much difference to me one way or the other recommend a good sub 01:30:48.760 --> 01:30:56.880 $400 or $350 27 in IPS green with 01:30:52.360 --> 01:31:02.159 vibrant colors no um IPS is expensive 01:30:56.880 --> 01:31:02.159 yo um yeah sorry man
