1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,520
Let's do a quick sound check, shall we? For those of you who

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:10,639
are watching already, we're like two

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:12,080
minutes early today. So, uh Oh, I

4
00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:16,640
thought I thought we had a cat about to join us, but we don't. He's he's running

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:21,080
off to go somewhere else. Do you want to leave them in

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:26,560
here? Yeah, there we go. There. So, I'd just like to know if this

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:31,239
is working. So, if someone on Twitter or someone on uh you know, something can

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:36,320
let me know. Actually, I can check the I'll

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:41,200
check the Twitch chat. Here we go. And we're live. Yes, there we go. Uh for

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:47,200
those of you who have not seen my my intro teaser video on YouTube, we are

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:49,760
potentially going to have a live

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:55,120
unboxing of the iPhone 5 tonight, which I know you guys are super super excited

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:57,920
about. unboxing of the iPhone 5 tonight.

14
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:02,680
No. No. Am I not? I'm not. I'm not. Echo. What do you mean echo? Okay. Let's

15
00:01:00,239 --> 00:01:06,320
see if the echo is gone. Echo gone. Echo gone. Here we go. Echo. I'm waiting for

16
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:12,320
people to say the echo is done. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. We know there's an echo. See, here you go, guys. Here you

17
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:17,759
go. All right. Tell me something. When you see that 10 people have typed echo,

18
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:22,320
do you feel the need to say echo? When you see that 10 people have typed

19
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:26,920
echoing, do you feel the need to say echo? When you see that 10 people have

20
00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:31,439
typed echo still gone, please mute your stream. No, no,

21
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,320
the stream is muted. Hold on. Hold on. Still gone. Okay, we might have a

22
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:37,600
problem here. Please mute your stream. No, no, the stream is muted. Hold on.

23
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:41,920
Good thing we started early tonight. Okay, we might have a problem here. Please mute your stream. No, no, the

24
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:46,240
stream is muted. Hold on. Good thing we started. Browser page isn't even showing

25
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:49,600
my stream. That's bizarre. All right, let's go to a different website.

26
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,680
Okay. Okay, let's see if that helps. See, see, it's great that we're It's

27
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:57,600
great that we're having this uh great that we're having this time

28
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:01,840
together like 10 seconds apart. Okay, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. It's great

29
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:06,719
that we're having this time together. 10 seconds apart. Okay, hold on. We cannot

30
00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:10,319
see the Echo results until people say close your stream. My stream is closed.

31
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:14,640
Okay, hold on. My stream is closed. There's no need to tell me to close the

32
00:02:12,239 --> 00:02:17,920
stream. Hold on. Let's see if this uh let's see if my stream is closed.

33
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,760
There's no need to tell me to close the stream. Hold on. Let's see if

34
00:02:23,239 --> 00:02:26,879
this. Okay. How about

35
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:35,599
now? Still echo. There we go. Are we good? We

36
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:41,760
good. All right, we're good. Apparently, I have to mute XSplit because XSplit is

37
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,720
uh I don't know. I'll have to figure that out later. I I have I have no idea

38
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,560
what's going on because I've only got one mic actually. I want to know how is

39
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:57,200
the audio quality tonight because I am using something pretty sweet. This is an

40
00:02:53,480 --> 00:03:00,239
ASUS Thunder FX sound external sound

41
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:03,680
card that has an environmentally

42
00:03:00,239 --> 00:03:05,680
cancelling noiseancel thing. That red

43
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:11,360
light that's on what would be the top to you guys and the right hand side of the

44
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:13,080
unit to me that audio is the same. It's

45
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:18,879
a little worse than last time. Good clear voice.

46
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:22,800
See? Yeah, you guys uh you guys are giving me mixed messages here. So, why

47
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:26,560
don't we kick things off with a couple of Twitter questions. I'm just going to

48
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:31,360
I've got my hotkeys working this time, so we'll actually be able to see what

49
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,519
each other are talking about. Let's go. Eight new interactions. Oh, okay. There

50
00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:42,879
are two audio. Fine. Aha. HKG who is

51
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:45,519
here wants to know how do I feel about

52
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:50,080
the Trinity APUs that are coming out. So I don't really have feelings about

53
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:56,080
hardware per se, but I am definitely excited to see what AMD has done in

54
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:57,439
terms of uh faster gaming performance on

55
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:03,720
what would otherwise be a very entrylevel processor. Now, it's no

56
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:06,000
secret that AMD's APUs already destroy

57
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:10,879
Intel's actually here, I'm going to find a uh There we go. Let's go.

58
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:16,919
YouTube.com. And we're not going to have sound here, guys. Sorry. Uh so,

59
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:19,919
YouTube.com. Let's have a look at our

60
00:04:16,919 --> 00:04:19,919
IGP

61
00:04:20,359 --> 00:04:26,800
showdown. There, that's me right there. See, very few people watch these videos,

62
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:30,960
which is frustrating because they're pretty informative. See, look at that.

63
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:34,400
Lots of likes, very few dislikes, but no one wants to uh no one wants to watch

64
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:39,440
these like these uh these more educational videos. So, as I have

65
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:43,160
apologized for numerous times in the past, and people think my voice quality

66
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:47,120
is way worse than before. I mean, I can turn off the

67
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,800
environmental. You know what? I'm just not going to play with it. So, skip

68
00:04:50,919 --> 00:04:58,880
ad. Going to try and skip the ad. That's their new strategy is to not let you

69
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,759
skip the ad. So, this is me with a crazy

70
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:06,560
hairdo that and uh this is the video not

71
00:05:03,919 --> 00:05:11,440
playing which is obviously really helpful to make it look you know less

72
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:15,759
horrible. So, basically we do graphs and those green graphs there are the AMD

73
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:21,919
graphs and this this is Crisis right here and those blue graphs are the Intel

74
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,800
graphs. So, this is Ivy Bridge versus

75
00:05:21,919 --> 00:05:29,280
Intel's or AMD's first generation APU. So, with their next generation APU, I am

76
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:33,759
super excited to see what they come out with. I actually have about three of the

77
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:38,639
new APUs on hand already. Well, rather Slick has them, and he's working on

78
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:42,560
testing them as we speak. At least he's supposed to be working on that as we

79
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:46,960
speak. But, uh, he he actually he actually may not be. So, there there's

80
00:05:45,039 --> 00:05:51,520
only way one way to find out if he's actually working on it, and that would be to call him. Maybe we'll make that

81
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:55,600
like part of the live show at some point. Like crank calling slick whenever

82
00:05:53,680 --> 00:06:01,960
we're doing a live show. You know what? Okay. Okay. I want I want I Okay, we're

83
00:05:58,479 --> 00:06:06,440
gonna do this. So, the first tweet,

84
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:09,600
okay, of what I should prank text

85
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:11,759
Slick. I will I will take that I'll take

86
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:15,840
that tweet and I will text it to him. So, we're gonna we're going to start

87
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:20,560
watching the Twitter feed here. And uh I'm just going to change just just so

88
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:22,319
you guys just so you guys can can be can

89
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,600
be pretty confident that I'm actually doing it. We're going to we're going to

90
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,639
go because he was trolling me during uh during one of my previous live streams.

91
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:34,240
He actually phoned me in the middle of it and was asking me sort of smartassar

92
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:37,039
remarks questions. All right, hold on. I'm going to change his name in my

93
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:41,840
phone. I'm going to change it from his real name to uh his his other more

94
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:46,639
different real name, which is obviously Slick. And I'm just going to cover up

95
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:51,199
his phone number here. Whoops. So you guys can see that this is the whatever.

96
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,400
You can't see anything. Forget about it. So you'll just have to take my word for

97
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:58,400
it. Okay. Here we go. New interactions coming in. I'm going to find the first

98
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:03,400
one. I'm going to find the first one. So I'm not uh it's not a Okay. Will you

99
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:07,840
marry me? That's the first one. I think it's lame, but I'm going to

100
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:15,680
do it anyway because that's what you guys have asked for here. Okay.

101
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:20,479
As long as he's not watching the uh as long as he's not watching the live

102
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:24,560
stream, then uh here. Here we go. Here

103
00:07:20,479 --> 00:07:27,199
we go. So, that's slick. And that is uh

104
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:32,759
that is my I can't I can't do this. Trying to look through the screen. There

105
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:37,520
we go. There it goes. See, we just prank texted someone. Let's

106
00:07:35,919 --> 00:07:40,479
see if he replies right away. So, I'm going to leave this here for now, and

107
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:44,720
then I'm going to switch to my other view so that I can move over here. No,

108
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:49,840
better yet, I'll put this over here. So, we can keep an eye on that while we see

109
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:51,360
if we have any other topics coming in.

110
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:57,400
We'll see. We'll see what he says. This is going to be live, right, guys? So, I I have no idea. I have no idea what kind

111
00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:01,759
of a reaction we're going to get out of him. All right, tell him you broke the

112
00:07:59,919 --> 00:08:04,960
iPhone 5. Okay, no more suggestions. No more suggestions. And besides, I tell

113
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:08,160
him he's fired like every other day, so he won't even be surprised by that.

114
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:12,960
Christian wants to know, "What's the difference between DDR2 and DDR3?" Uh,

115
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:17,759
you should definitely look that up on YouTube, Christian. Uh, if you if you

116
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:20,800
search for DDR2 versus DDR3, I have a video all about

117
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:29,680
that. Thomas Thomas Heckler, you know what? Here, we'll put this away for now.

118
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:34,959
Thomas Heckler wants to know, "What is the best way to clean out CPU fans and

119
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:38,959
case fans? I have filters in my case, so

120
00:08:34,959 --> 00:08:42,640
I would suggest checking out the dust

121
00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:42,640
PC. Let's start. Let's try PC

122
00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:49,680
dust." Oh. Oh. Oh. Dust

123
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:51,760
resistance. Oh. Oh. Oh. Apparently that

124
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:57,720
uh that search term is not going to work for me. So, we'll try something else.

125
00:08:53,839 --> 00:08:57,720
Computer cleaning.

126
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:04,320
And there it is. 140,000 views. PC

127
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:08,560
cleaning tips removing dust bunnies. Maybe if I'd used uh better search terms

128
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:12,160
for that, that would have been better. Uh oh, here we go. Here we go. We've got

129
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:17,440
Slick's message back. He wants to know if he's going to get a dowy of a

130
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:22,399
3960X. So, it looks like he's actually down for the idea. And uh that's very

131
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:25,839
exciting for me and of course all of my viewers who are very happy about my

132
00:09:23,839 --> 00:09:28,800
impending nuptuals. We're not going to give him any more context for that. I'm

133
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:33,640
just not going to reply to his text anymore, which will be for the walls, of

134
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:38,880
course, as well. Let's move down. My Little Pony theme song.

135
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:47,000
Okay. All right. 18 new interactions. Thoughts on DDR4? Good question. Um,

136
00:09:44,959 --> 00:09:51,519
DDR4 is probably going to be lower power, higher frequency, and higher

137
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:55,839
latency than DDR3. We honestly haven't seen any big um on the desktop anyway.

138
00:09:54,480 --> 00:10:00,320
We haven't seen any big performance improvements come from upgrading our

139
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:07,200
memory technologies since pretty much dual channel DDR2. I mean uh if you go

140
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:10,160
back and look at the at the numbers um

141
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:14,079
back then even especially on platforms with an integrated memory controller. So

142
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:18,399
AMD's platforms at the time, not Intel then, but Intel now. Uh we don't see

143
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:22,000
that much of a difference in terms of performance because we don't need all

144
00:10:19,839 --> 00:10:26,880
that memory bandwidth these days. I mean, if you're buying like an X79

145
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,079
platform system, um, you know, for extreme Uber gaming or whatever else,

146
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,839
you might as well get four memory sticks because they're so cheap these days. But

147
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:38,160
the actual difference in performance running on an X79 platform between dual

148
00:10:36,079 --> 00:10:43,760
channel and quad channel is on the order of like singledigit percentages. It's

149
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,760
not actually that

150
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,560
huge. All right. Hey Lionus, is it worth

151
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:55,360
me waiting for any tablet with a keyboard dock on Windows 8 or just get one of the Android ones? Personally, I

152
00:10:52,800 --> 00:11:02,920
find with the Transformer series, the the keyboard experience on Android is

153
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:05,279
actually not that uh not that

154
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:10,079
satisfactory. It it doesn't feel that clean. I haven't used it with Jelly

155
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:15,040
Bean, though. Um and I haven't used it extensively with ice cream sandwich. So,

156
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,800
this is based on the honeycomb days. Uh,

157
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:22,240
however, I think we can all assume that a Windows 8 experience with a keyboard

158
00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:27,040
and mouse is going to be pretty seamless compared to what you might see from its

159
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:31,519
uh from its competitors. Nikil, a see I always do

160
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:36,399
this wrong. This guy right here wants to know, "What are my opinion on Corsair's

161
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:42,920
Dominators?" So, Dominators are RAM um available in DDR2 and DDR3 varieties.

162
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:45,600
Well, rather that's two and three.

163
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:48,320
Um, often times they're faster than other RAM. It doesn't make a huge

164
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:53,440
difference to your system performance, but they look outstanding. The new Dominator Platinums, especially with

165
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:56,480
that like silver bar along the top, makes your system look ballin. And they

166
00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:01,600
have like interchangeable lighting effects and stuff that you can put in them. So, that's pretty cool. Um, other

167
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:06,920
than that, they have a lifetime warranty. They're hand tested. They're Corsair, so it's probably good stuff.

168
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:10,160
That's about all for my opinion on dominators, unless you meant some other

169
00:12:08,959 --> 00:12:15,040
kind of Dominator. I'm assuming you meant Corsair Dominators.

170
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:17,760
I mean, you know, whatever you're into. I'm not I'm not here to judge on this

171
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:23,920
live stream. That's not what this live stream is about. Phil, have you heard about any

172
00:12:22,079 --> 00:12:28,800
high pixel density monitors coming out soon? Actually, I have something very

173
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:34,480
exciting to show you, Phil. I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to go into my uh my

174
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:38,480
folder where I archive all this like stuff that I don't know might be

175
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:45,880
interesting or might not. So, in my pending folder, you can see that we

176
00:12:42,519 --> 00:12:49,120
have ASUS

177
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,560
PB278Q showcase coming out on NCIX Tech

178
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:54,480
TT tips. So, that is going to be pretty cool. And I hope you guys are going to

179
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:59,040
check that out. Don't forget to be subscribed to the NCIXCOM channel as

180
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,320
well as my Linus Tech Tips channel. Otherwise, you won't necessarily see all

181
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:06,880
of my content because I do upload completely different sets of videos to

182
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:10,920
both of those channels. and uh that yeah that that particular monitor is a 27in

183
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:16,000
monitor with a 2560x440 resolution. No, it's not quite

184
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:20,000
up to the kind of pixel density that you see with like a retina display or or

185
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:25,040
with some of these new fangled Android tablets such as the Transformer

186
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:30,320
TF700, but it's still significantly higher than well what we're used to on

187
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:33,680
the desktop and is therefore therefore exciting. So, I'm going to move that

188
00:13:31,839 --> 00:13:37,040
away. I actually have no idea how many people are watching the live stream

189
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:41,360
tonight. So, I'm kind of uh I'm kind of I'm kind of curious, but I guess I'll

190
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:46,160
I'll look a little bit later. Okay, scrolling down. Oh, okay. We're back to

191
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:50,079
uh we're back to where we left off. Let's have a look at Oh, 75 new

192
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:54,399
interactions. That means we're we're starting to see a bit of a bit of a ramp

193
00:13:52,079 --> 00:13:58,320
up here in terms of how many people are watching. And it's you again. You're my

194
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:05,120
favorite. Let's see if we can get rid of you for good this time. And you are

195
00:14:02,959 --> 00:14:08,480
blocked. Byebye. Thank you for playing. Come again.

196
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:15,040
Actually, probably don't come again. That would be best. All right.

197
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:18,320
What's What's better to use for 120 Hz

198
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:23,000
gaming? DisplayPort or dual link DVI?

199
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:25,920
I'm using a GTX 690 and the BenQ XL

200
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:30,480
2420T. Simple answer, totally doesn't matter. They're both completely digital

201
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:36,560
connections. They're both more than capable of delivering the bandwidth that

202
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:40,000
you need for 1920 x 1080120 htz. Um

203
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,839
DisplayPort is believed to the rumor is

204
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:46,399
that it has slightly higher latency compared to DVI. So if you don't for

205
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:50,480
whatever reason need the smaller connector versus the DVI connector, then

206
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:54,519
I guess you might as well go with whatever cable you have lying around.

207
00:14:53,199 --> 00:14:58,320
Cables make digital. So there's there's there's

208
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:03,040
no difference between like an expensive DVI cable and like a like a cheap DVI

209
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:08,560
cable. It just it just doesn't matter. The only time you really run into trouble with cables is when you're

210
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:12,160
talking VGA cables. So with any analog cable, the actual quality of the cable,

211
00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:15,600
the quality of the connector makes a big difference. With digital cables, you'll

212
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:21,560
know right away if there's anything wrong with the cable because it just flat out won't work. And I think we have

213
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:25,959
a visitor. Come here. You want to come visit

214
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:31,920
Rocket? Here you guys can see him

215
00:15:29,079 --> 00:15:36,120
perhaps. Where'd he go? Rocket. There you are. There you are, sweetheart. Say

216
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:43,000
hi to everyone. There he

217
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:45,920
goes. Yeah. Yeah. Saying hi to everyone.

218
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:50,480
Hey, there you go. They can see you. Okay. Well, that was fun. Rocket joined

219
00:15:47,839 --> 00:15:55,279
us for for just a moment, then he he had to leave. Bye, Rocket. Okay. Personal

220
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:59,519
rig updates. No. Oh, no personal rig updates this week. I've been super busy

221
00:15:57,279 --> 00:16:06,320
this week. David wants to know if I have an NCIX discount. You bet I

222
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,320
do. It's awesome. By the

223
00:16:06,839 --> 00:16:12,880
way, uh Kevin says, "Thank you for taking the time to live stream to us,

224
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:17,600
your loyal fans. Watching you right now. I'm watching you, Kevin."

225
00:16:15,199 --> 00:16:21,440
No, but seriously, um, thank you guys for watching because if nobody watched,

226
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:26,560
then I'd be one of those sad people on the internet that actually like like

227
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:31,120
this was very sad. I came across this YouTube channel that's been around for

228
00:16:28,079 --> 00:16:36,279
about five years, like five years. And

229
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:39,279
it had like hundreds of videos on it and

230
00:16:36,279 --> 00:16:41,680
like a hundred subscribers, which at

231
00:16:39,279 --> 00:16:45,759
that point is basically probably fakes. Like it's it's probably not even real

232
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:49,600
people. And it just like like all these hours of content that have been created

233
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:52,959
and nobody ever watched them. I do feel truly lucky and truly blessed that you

234
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:56,880
guys even want to watch me on the internet. So, no. Thank you, Kevin, even

235
00:16:55,199 --> 00:17:01,480
though I gave you the staredown earlier before and I'm very sorry about

236
00:16:59,959 --> 00:17:06,319
that. H Vincent wants to know if there's any

237
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:10,240
news on the rumored Corsair H80i and H100i. I haven't heard anything, but I

238
00:17:08,959 --> 00:17:14,760
can tell you right now that that sounds pretty exciting because if it's an I,

239
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:20,640
then it's probably like a new AXI power supply, which is

240
00:17:19,120 --> 00:17:24,880
awesome and it probably goes with that somehow. So, that would be my entire

241
00:17:22,959 --> 00:17:31,039
that would be my entire take on on all of that. Oh, random, random, random. You

242
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:35,840
just won the fail tweet of the night award because when is NCIX coming to

243
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:41,520
Ontario? We are going to go on a little voyage of discovery here on the contact

244
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,520
us page of

245
00:17:42,039 --> 00:17:52,799
NCIX. Ontario location Missaga Markham other Markham

246
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:56,559
Scarboro and a warehouse. Bam. I'm sure

247
00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:58,760
you meant Toronto city but you know

248
00:17:56,559 --> 00:18:03,360
whatever. The suburbs are basically the same. So you can still go to NCX. You

249
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:07,520
just have to like put some effort into it.

250
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:10,919
Justin, I've heard using canned air is bad for cleaning your case because of

251
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:14,160
chemicals or something. Is this true? You know, I probably wouldn't

252
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:18,160
worry about it too much. I mean, I wouldn't just like turn it upside down

253
00:18:15,919 --> 00:18:22,960
and like spray the liquid directly onto everything, but um yeah, I Yeah, I just

254
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:28,160
I wouldn't I wouldn't over I wouldn't overthink that. JJ wants to know what I

255
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:34,000
think of Chromebooks. JJ is Oh, see, I do that every time. JJ's right there. So

256
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:38,320
JJ, Chromebooks are, in my opinion, not

257
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:40,280
there yet. Now, if the Chromebook had

258
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:45,760
apps in much the same way that Android has apps, for example,

259
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:48,640
then I might see some more utility to it because not everything runs in a browser

260
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:54,320
yet. I mean once we see some more consolidation in terms of web standards

261
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,600
like if flash just goes away which is

262
00:18:54,320 --> 00:19:00,720
going to take time it's not going to happen instantly then then there might

263
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:06,720
be more more possibility of of writing apps that are completely universal and

264
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:09,280
will work 100% of the time and uh aside

265
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:14,080
from aside from the lack of that sort of unified structure to it uh the other

266
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:20,400
problem to me is this the requirement for constant connectivity. I mean, for

267
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:23,440
me here in the uh in the in the Canadian

268
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:25,280
ghetto, um it's still expensive for data

269
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:30,240
for for my device. And then if I have multiple devices, then I'm paying for

270
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:33,600
multiple data connections, which um again gets sort of more expensive. I

271
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,039
mean, you can bundle things together, but yeah, the idea of having a device

272
00:19:35,679 --> 00:19:42,640
that only really that only really functions the way it's supposed to if I have a

273
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:44,960
connection is not that appealing to me

274
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:48,240
personally. But in places like Japan or places where the population density and

275
00:19:46,559 --> 00:19:54,720
the IT infrastructure is much better then it might be better. Uh Justin wants

276
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:57,520
to know FX6200 or 8150 for gaming.

277
00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:02,240
Justin I would suggest that you consider an alternate platform if gaming

278
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:07,200
performance is your only consideration. I did do a review of the 8150 when it

279
00:20:04,799 --> 00:20:10,720
came out. Um let's see if I actually here we'll see if I can dig it up. You

280
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:14,880
know what? Let's just use our Let's just use our half our half panel here.

281
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:18,880
Whoops. Whoops. Whoops. Nope. That's not what I meant to do. Okay, let's find another

282
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:29,799
Okay. Yeah, Slick sent me a follow-up message. You know, one of those big O,

283
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:34,799
you know, period, small O things. He's like, I'm not going to reply though,

284
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:42,240
just for lols. It'll be funny, right? Okay, let's search for um FX

285
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:46,159
8150. It helps if you type for Oh, that

286
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:48,039
change. Right. Whoopsy daisies. 8150.

287
00:20:46,159 --> 00:20:52,240
Let's try my other number pad. All right. Hey, there we go.

288
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:56,480
Unboxing and first look has really that one has 240,000 views. Go figure. And

289
00:20:54,720 --> 00:21:02,159
there's the uh there's the gaming benchmarks versus the 2500K, which is a

290
00:20:59,679 --> 00:21:07,039
pretty pretty last generation processor there, guys. So, let's go ahead and

291
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:11,440
Yeah, my power line internet's really slow. I think in this one I just showed

292
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:14,720
like an Excel chart and since it's not in HD right now, that's going to be

293
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:20,559
pretty hard to read. I can understand why you guys don't like the way I do these charts. In my defense, though, I

294
00:21:18,559 --> 00:21:24,799
usually read out a lot of it like during the process. Here we go. Here we go.

295
00:21:21,919 --> 00:21:29,799
Here we go. Okay, so pretty much if we if we have a look at the data which is

296
00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:34,960
to our right here, we can see that the

297
00:21:29,799 --> 00:21:36,480
8150 gets um hold on minmax average oh

298
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:42,320
was actually very similar across the board to a 2500

299
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:44,559
K. Well, okay then. Okay, so that's a

300
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:50,000
last generation Intel CPU. Since games don't really take that much advantage of

301
00:21:46,799 --> 00:21:51,200
here, how many cores for gaming? Since

302
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,840
they don't really take advantage of that many cores, you can assume that any modern Intel CPU is going to be slightly

303
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:59,120
faster than that. Although, it should be noted, see how many CPU cores is enough

304
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:09,039
for gaming. There's another good video about this. It should be noted, however, though that where was I going with this?

305
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:11,280
Ah, yes, my legendary bottleneck video.

306
00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:13,679
Let's see. Let's see how. Yeah, right there. You search for bottleneck right

307
00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:19,679
there. Understanding hardware bottlenecks and how to avoid them. If you have your graphics details turned

308
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:22,880
up, which you should if you're running a decent machine with a decent graphics

309
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:28,320
card, you're going to discover that it almost pretty much doesn't matter what CPU you have to to a point as long as

310
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:33,200
you've got something modern and something reasonably fast with a reasonable number of cores. Uh because

311
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,320
you're going to be GPU limited anyway once you turn the details up. And

312
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,679
bottlenecks are not necessarily a bad thing. Every single system is

313
00:22:38,159 --> 00:22:43,440
bottlenecked. I have so many people ask me, will this part bottleneck this part?

314
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:48,000
And it's not that simple. Watch the video. Watch the video right there.

315
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:51,360
Watch that video later. Bookmark it now. Just do it now. Watch that video later

316
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:55,200
and hopefully you'll understand it a little bit better. But any given

317
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:58,640
hardware configuration, let's say CPU A and video card B. Depending on the

318
00:22:57,039 --> 00:23:03,440
settings I'm running, the CPU is the bottleneck or the GPU is the bottleneck.

319
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:08,080
It It's not just as simple as, well, this thing bottlenecks this thing. And

320
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:11,159
no, it doesn't work that way. So, it comes down to how you're using the

321
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:16,400
hardware more than anything else. Do you like cheese? What is this

322
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:20,720
cheese meme? You know, I actually I just watched um Gangnan Style or whatever

323
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:26,720
that video is called. Yesterday was my first exposure to this. And uh honestly,

324
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:30,640
these memes just pass me by a lot of the time. I mean, I'm working during the day

325
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:35,440
and then I get home and it's baby time and then I upload my videos and then I

326
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:39,760
sleep. So, I haven't I haven't had much time for really anything else. But, uh I

327
00:23:37,919 --> 00:23:42,640
got to say that's very confusing. I mean, it's it's sort of like it's

328
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:46,640
entertaining because he's like riding a horse, but

329
00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:51,360
um I don't know that it's my favorite song, per se. So, yeah, let's just sort

330
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:57,360
of move right along. AJ wants to know if he should one of these days I'll get

331
00:23:53,600 --> 00:24:01,360
this. AJ right there wants to know if he

332
00:23:57,360 --> 00:24:03,120
should with his X 109 and 6970 upgrade

333
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:06,480
now or wait for nextG stuff. My performance in games is average to low.

334
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:13,679
I would really like to know why your performance in games is average to low. I'd say your video card is getting a

335
00:24:09,919 --> 00:24:16,080
little bit I mean it's not even bad. I

336
00:24:13,679 --> 00:24:20,960
And your CPU too like the 1090T is actually not really slower than the

337
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:24,320
current generation bulldozer stuff as as long as I mean that's a black edition so

338
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:27,440
you better be overclocking it. Um and the same with the 6970. It's a good

339
00:24:25,919 --> 00:24:30,320
overclocker if you haven't already done so. Maybe overclock your hardware and

340
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:36,799
see if it lasts you a little bit longer because that's still pretty modern stuff.

341
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Um, canon tow, what do you make of individually sleeved cables? I like

342
00:24:40,159 --> 00:24:47,400
individually sleeved cables. However, I think they can look a little bit busy.

343
00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:50,240
Um, cable sleeving

344
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:55,039
Linus. So, this is how I've decided to do my sleeved cables. So, this is my

345
00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:59,520
personal rig update series of videos, which I started like a bajillion years

346
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:03,520
ago. This is part six, and it was in February 22nd. And we're up to part nine

347
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:09,520
now, and I'm still nowhere near finishing my uh my system. But what I

348
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:12,720
decided to do was take two wires and put

349
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:14,480
one sleeve over them for a slightly You

350
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:19,919
know what? This one actually here, let's try personal rig. Linus. Let's find one

351
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:24,720
where I can actually show you what the cables look like. So, part two, three,

352
00:25:21,919 --> 00:25:29,279
four, five, seven. Test fitting and sleeving progress. More up. Yeah, there

353
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:32,480
we go. Sleeving progress. So, if you check this one out, part seven has some

354
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:38,240
sleeving progress in it, and it shows you my uh my idea for my idea for cable

355
00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:41,760
sleeving with two wires per per sleeve. And then I think the end of this one

356
00:25:39,919 --> 00:25:46,440
actually, nope, doesn't have anything else in it. There's one that has has my

357
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:50,559
baby in it. I think it's part eight. Lorenzo DK wants to know, "What

358
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:55,679
is the possibility of water cooling leaking?" If you puncture it with

359
00:25:52,880 --> 00:26:00,000
something, it will leak. I mean, it's water. Um, if you mean if you're

360
00:25:57,919 --> 00:26:03,919
diligent and careful and build water cooling, you know, as well as you can,

361
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:07,760
the odds are actually very, very low. I mean, when we're talking custom water

362
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:11,440
cooling, guys like Swift EK, those those guys are pressure testing their

363
00:26:09,919 --> 00:26:16,159
components before they ship them to an end user. Every single one gets pressure

364
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:19,840
tested up to however many PSI, which is many times more than you will ever

365
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:26,480
encounter in a PC water cooled system. So, the the odds of those parts leaking,

366
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:28,159
not so much. And really, a leak on a

367
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:32,159
live system should never happen because you should always have leak tested the

368
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:35,440
entire loop with the system not powered on first. There's lots of guides on the

369
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:40,640
internet for how to do that though, so I'm not going to cover that there. Here,

370
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:44,320
here, there. Do I have a computer making

371
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:46,400
video? Asks Jake Bob. Jake Bob, I would

372
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:56,799
suggest that I have the best computer making video. Um, here PC build

373
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:58,120
guide right there. Top hit under the

374
00:26:56,799 --> 00:27:03,159
advertised video. Number one above PC Whiz Kid, who

375
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:07,760
I also like, but that's only part one of his

376
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:11,679
video. This is the entire video. Let's see if anyone else even shows up on the

377
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:15,600
radar. Look at these guys. They got a million views for that. How to build a

378
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:20,400
computer, choosing your components. That's outstanding. Here's part two.

379
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:23,840
Here's part three of that. Build your Ah, this is a good video. How to build a

380
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:29,200
PC. The ultimate guide from Tech Syndicate. That's uh good old Logan the

381
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,840
uh the ex-tiger guy who's uh who's taking care of that channel now. So,

382
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:36,200
it's pretty good pretty good stuff over there. You should definitely subscribe to raise the world with a zero rather

383
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,760
than an O. David wants to know what I think

384
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:43,760
about Hackintoshing. I still haven't done it yet. I keep I keep telling

385
00:27:42,159 --> 00:27:49,440
myself I'm going to work on that next and then I keep putting it off for something else.

386
00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:51,679
Um, I think it's awesome. I think it's I

387
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:55,360
think dual booting a Windows and OS 10 environment is probably the best

388
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:59,440
compromise. So, if I was going to get a notebook tomorrow, I'd probably get some

389
00:27:57,360 --> 00:28:02,720
kind of a MacBook with a unibody frame. I mean, you guys can hate all you want

390
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:07,039
on the MacBook and OS 10, but it's a beautiful notebook. Um, but for the

391
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:10,960
desktop, it's yeah, it really doesn't make sense because the price to

392
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:15,760
performance and the component selection is just not there on the Apple machine.

393
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:20,600
So, it'd be great to be able to to hackintosh it to have a real computer

394
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:25,200
and then run a toy OS on it if you want to, you know, Final Cut, although my

395
00:28:23,679 --> 00:28:32,720
understanding is the new Final Cut isn't that sort of fantastic.

396
00:28:27,799 --> 00:28:36,320
Um, aha, iOS 6, did you download it? I

397
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:38,159
have not. I am still using iOS 5.1.1.

398
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:43,799
Uh, with all the horror stories about the maps, I'm a little bit terrified to

399
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:50,880
uh to try to try iOS.

400
00:28:46,679 --> 00:28:53,200
Um, oh, so disappointing. It looks like

401
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:58,799
cameraman might not be able to join us tonight for our live iPhone 5 unboxing.

402
00:28:55,679 --> 00:29:00,320
Although, if we end up doing it, then

403
00:28:58,799 --> 00:29:04,720
you know what? If he arrives here tonight at some point, I promise you

404
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:08,480
guys, I will turn the live stream back on. However, I'm not going to do another

405
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:12,480
YouTube video announcing this. So, you guys are going to have to just subscribe

406
00:29:09,919 --> 00:29:16,159
to me here on Twitch if you want to make sure that you catch this because it's

407
00:29:14,159 --> 00:29:19,279
going to be very exciting. I promise not to rip on it too hard,

408
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:26,480
though. Francisco wants to know Windows 8 versus Windows 7. You know what? I

409
00:29:25,039 --> 00:29:30,720
haven't had enough time with Windows 8 to really make some kind of an intelligent decision about that. So, I'm

410
00:29:29,279 --> 00:29:36,480
going to wait till I actually have a release copy in my hands. I'm going to install it on my personal machine and

411
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:40,320
see how it goes. Uh, Alex Rupert wants to know 3820 or 2600K. I would love your

412
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:45,360
input. I would suggest to you, Alex, that those are both last generation

413
00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:49,120
processors. Um, and given the parody in pricing between a 2600K and a 2700K, you

414
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:53,679
probably shouldn't be looking at the 2600K in the first place. And with the

415
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:58,799
fading availability of Sandy Bridge processors, you're probably going to want to look at an Ivy Bridge, which is

416
00:29:55,919 --> 00:30:02,039
a 3770K and is definitely faster than that 3820.

417
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,799
When will 1440p TVs and monitors be

418
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:12,159
available as a standard resolution? Question from Nathan. Nathan, I would

419
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:17,440
suggest that they will never be a standard resolution much the same way

420
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:20,080
that um well, lots of resolutions were

421
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:23,760
never really a standard resolution. Um we're going to move straight to 4K would

422
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:28,480
be my guess. I mean, you can see everyone's working on um denser. They

423
00:30:27,279 --> 00:30:32,240
say, "I keep holding up the iPhone tonight, you know, because it's pixel

424
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:36,720
density." Uh, everyone's working on pixel density. Everyone wants higher

425
00:30:34,159 --> 00:30:40,000
resolution, but when it comes to broadcast standards, they don't like

426
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:43,520
changing that often, and they don't like just sort of willy-nilly shifting things

427
00:30:41,919 --> 00:30:48,720
around. It's not like the PC where we can just have some resolution because we

428
00:30:46,159 --> 00:30:53,360
use like power strip and deem it to be thusly. Um, there's a there's a lot of

429
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:58,159
infrastructure that goes into a standardized resolution. So, we're going to we're going to be moving to 4K. and

430
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:04,440
asking me how much they cost. Come on, man. You just are the runner up for

431
00:31:01,159 --> 00:31:06,960
Whoops. There you go. More light. for

432
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:13,080
bogus. How could I possibly know? They'll cost as much as No, they'll

433
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:19,840
cost 4K dollars. I don't know, man. I know

434
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:23,120
you can buy 4K cameras now for as little as five, six grand. I've been looking

435
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:29,919
into new cameras. I'm hoping to not be using this webcam in like I don't know

436
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:32,559
couple weeks. Uh got a shopping list at

437
00:31:29,919 --> 00:31:37,679
B&H that I'm pretty much finalized. I think we're going to get a Sony

438
00:31:34,279 --> 00:31:39,840
FS100 with uh with a lens and with

439
00:31:37,679 --> 00:31:42,799
tripod and with some new lights which are hopefully going to make me not look

440
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:47,840
like washed out and blue and pale. I can't even figure out how to fix it. This webcam is not not that great. I

441
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:54,640
mean this all this stuff behind me looks about right. Maybe I'm just sitting too close. Hey, that might be the problem.

442
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:57,159
It's fine now, but I kind of have to be here because I have to like read the

443
00:31:55,919 --> 00:32:02,240
screen and stuff. So, what can we

444
00:32:00,039 --> 00:32:05,679
do? Uh, George wants to know if there was a water block for the Extreme 11,

445
00:32:03,919 --> 00:32:08,880
would you use it? Because I know a guy that says he's talked to you. Um, no, I

446
00:32:07,519 --> 00:32:14,080
wouldn't because I'm done with the Extreme 11. Um, I honestly the

447
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:19,960
performance of the board isn't that great, especially for gaming, just because of the the two PLX chips that

448
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:25,200
are installed on it. um will give you a higher number in

449
00:32:22,399 --> 00:32:29,600
terms of the bandwidth readout in GPUZ, but it won't actually improve your

450
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:33,279
performance. I know I've just shattered your perception of reality. Um more

451
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,880
bandwidth is not always better, especially if it adds latency. So, the

452
00:32:35,279 --> 00:32:41,600
only reason I was considering the Extreme 11 was um because I hoped it

453
00:32:40,159 --> 00:32:45,360
wouldn't coil wine and it looked outstanding. It's just like an awesome

454
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:49,039
looking board. I'm not going to invest a whole bunch of money into a custom water

455
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:54,240
block for a board that really for me doesn't have any advantages over the

456
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:56,880
X79 SUP5 that I ended up settling on.

457
00:32:54,240 --> 00:33:01,200
So, it's a Gigabyte board. Um Ian wants to know, is SAS just multiplug for SATA?

458
00:32:59,039 --> 00:33:07,360
Actually SAS has different features than SATA. It does have um it's more RAID

459
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:12,159
friendly. I believe you can run longer cable runs.

460
00:33:09,159 --> 00:33:13,360
Um SATA supports breakouts as well. So

461
00:33:12,159 --> 00:33:17,039
it's not just SAS that supports breakouts. I mean SAS tends to get

462
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:21,519
better features earlier than SATA. So SAS had NCQ before SATA did. So there

463
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:27,039
you go. No, they are different standards. Remember guys, SAS

464
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:31,320
controllers will work with SATA drives, but SATA controllers will not work with

465
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:35,679
SAS drives. Okay. Emanuel wants to know how old my

466
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:39,919
cats are. They're going to be three years old this December

467
00:33:37,559 --> 00:33:45,559
28th. Yep, they will be three years old. Let's see if any of them want to visit.

468
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:50,120
Yeah. Rumble. Rumble. Come

469
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:53,120
here. Kitty.

470
00:33:53,159 --> 00:33:59,519
Rumble. Usually he comes when I call. Hey,

471
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:06,200
cat. Oh, there he is. See, he's giving me the he's giving me the old

472
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:10,079
staredown. See, there he is. Hey, come

473
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:12,800
here. Come on.

474
00:34:10,079 --> 00:34:15,919
So, not interested. Nope. Nope. We're not getting any special guests tonight.

475
00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:21,639
I know. I promised special guests and then I did not deliver. I'm sorry for

476
00:34:19,079 --> 00:34:25,440
that. Brian wants to know, "Is it frustrating when people constantly ask

477
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:29,679
you questions you've answered in your videos?" Actually, no. It's okay because

478
00:34:27,839 --> 00:34:34,879
um for one thing, they're easy to answer because all I have to do is go

479
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:41,200
click video where I explain for five or 10 minutes the answer to a a complicated

480
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,200
question.

481
00:34:41,240 --> 00:34:47,919
Um yeah, no, if anything, it's more convenient. Tuon wants to know, how is

482
00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:50,879
your massive RAID fix with your Seagate 3 terabytes? Any problems with dropping

483
00:34:49,359 --> 00:34:57,040
out since error recovery control is not supported? Actually, I haven't had any issues with them. Things are going good.

484
00:34:54,079 --> 00:35:01,200
Things are going fine. and uh and and they're and they're

485
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:07,280
awesome. Things are good. I'm I'm loving my massive RAID 6 with all of my with

486
00:35:03,839 --> 00:35:09,440
all my stuff stored on it. Adam B right

487
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:12,240
there wants to know, did you hear about more Thailand floods coming? Do you

488
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:17,440
think this will affect hard drive prices again? If the manufacturing facilities

489
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:20,560
flood, then yes, prices will be affected again. However, my understanding is

490
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:26,320
Thailand floods on a fairly regular basis. Um, but that was just sort of

491
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:28,720
very extreme and all the manufacturing

492
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:32,520
facilities were on like one flood plane. So, so hopefully we won't see a repeat

493
00:35:31,119 --> 00:35:37,839
of that again. And we are all the way down to

494
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:41,880
the end, I think, of the questions that uh that are new. So, let's go ahead and

495
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:49,359
have a look at the 307 new interactions that I don't stand

496
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:52,400
a freaking chance of getting to entirely

497
00:35:49,359 --> 00:35:54,760
here. Um, I am curious how many people

498
00:35:52,400 --> 00:36:01,839
are watching tonight. 1,400 people. And guess what? I

499
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:05,920
did find where I already where I had the Twitch stream open before, which might

500
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:10,599
have been the problem with the echo. So, um, I'm going to try something here. And

501
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:18,680
I'd like you guys to let me know if this works. Do we have an echo

502
00:36:14,119 --> 00:36:18,680
again? Just tell me once.

503
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,760
Do we have an echo

504
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:30,000
again? No. Excellent. How is the sound

505
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:40,800
quality? Bad. Yes. No. No. Pretty good.

506
00:36:39,119 --> 00:36:47,280
Okay. You know what? I'm done with the Twitch. You know what? We're turning that on to slow mode because I can't

507
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:50,560
uh I can't I can't I can't understand

508
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,560
anything you guys are saying

509
00:36:52,839 --> 00:36:59,680
here. Okay. Medium fine fair.

510
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:01,839
Okay. Someone wants to know if he can be a

511
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:12,800
mod. Okay. Well, back to Twitter.

512
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,800
to 344 new

513
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:22,400
interactions. Oh, uh oh, that'll be a problem. There we go. That's that

514
00:37:19,119 --> 00:37:23,960
Windows uh arrow shake feature. That's

515
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:27,720
uh that's amazing.

516
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:32,240
Okay, Twitter questions. Good quality. What's your

517
00:37:29,839 --> 00:37:35,280
opinion on jet skis? Uh jet skis are awesome. And anyone who doesn't think

518
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:39,040
they're awesome doesn't know what they're talking about at all because jet

519
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:44,480
skis are amazing. I've only actually really been on a jet ski myself a few

520
00:37:41,599 --> 00:37:50,079
times. Uh because here in Vancouver, the water is pretty cold. So, it's

521
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:55,119
um yeah, not that not that great. Like, it's cold. So, uh when I was down in

522
00:37:52,079 --> 00:37:57,040
Mexico a few years back, I uh I spent a

523
00:37:55,119 --> 00:38:01,040
fair bit of time on the jet ski near the the all-inclusive thing where we were

524
00:37:58,720 --> 00:38:05,599
staying. And uh yes, it was a blast, especially when the water's not cold.

525
00:38:03,839 --> 00:38:08,560
Okay, Paul wants to know full screen versus windowed benefits and what

526
00:38:07,359 --> 00:38:13,599
exactly is the difference from a processing standpoint and performance hit? I'll tell you right now, it really

527
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:17,680
depends on the individual application. Full screen will always be consistent,

528
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:22,640
but Windows might run fine with some things and might run totally rubbish

529
00:38:19,359 --> 00:38:24,079
with other things. So, um I personally

530
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:27,520
have never really understood the appeal of running things in window mode because

531
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:31,839
then you got like frames around it. I find it detracts from the

532
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:34,960
immersiveness. But hey, to to to each their own. Someone wants to

533
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:42,640
do Steve Jackson wants to know, "What can I Oh, there we go. What can I do

534
00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:46,320
with my old LG75 processor and motherboard?" Steve, I would suggest to

535
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:50,560
you that you can do any number of things. You can build yourself a storage

536
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:55,280
server using like a Windows home server. You can uh you can build yourself a

537
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:59,040
router using psfense. Um, you know, and throw a couple like network cards in

538
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:02,480
there and uh that would be that would be pretty neat. You could you could give it

539
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:08,079
away to charity. You know, lots of lots of charitable or getting donations of

540
00:39:05,359 --> 00:39:10,720
old computers. So, um there few suggestions for

541
00:39:10,839 --> 00:39:16,160
you. When wants to know, why don't I use

542
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:21,440
a 5D Mark III for the camera? I'm looking for a camcorder. Um not for a

543
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:26,880
DSLR. Just I don't want to deal with the the DSLR hassleness. I know the big

544
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:32,400
sensor, it looks clean, etc., etc., etc., But we're going to be doing some pretty different stuff um involving

545
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:35,839
needing a clean HDMI feed out from the camera because we're going to be using

546
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:40,000
some HDMI capture cards and stuff like that. And so it should be uh should be

547
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:44,800
pretty pretty good news bears as far as the quality of our overall operation

548
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:51,760
here. But a DSLR really just isn't going to do it for

549
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:53,800
us. Uh DJ I did it again. TJ wants to

550
00:39:51,760 --> 00:40:01,400
know, "What are the 2420T and the TX the Oh, wait. And

551
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:04,240
the 2410T, what are the major

552
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:07,280
differences?" Never ever type duh in the place of the I'm not answering your

553
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:10,920
question. You can retype it and maybe we'll get to it

554
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:15,359
later. The differences. Um, does my baby play with

555
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:18,720
the cats? He's still a little young. Um, he's

556
00:40:17,119 --> 00:40:21,920
correct. When do I think 3D monitors will

557
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:27,280
decrease in price and become more popular? Uh, over time they will decrease in price and over time they may

558
00:40:25,839 --> 00:40:32,800
or may not become more popular. It really depends on what people think of

559
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:35,560
any of the uh the advances that get made

560
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:39,200
in the whole 3D technology thing. Oh, hold

561
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:46,079
on. Okay.

562
00:40:46,079 --> 00:40:53,119
having a little bit of uh trouble with the

563
00:40:49,720 --> 00:40:53,119
whole Twitch

564
00:40:53,400 --> 00:41:00,880
stream with some people who are being inappropriate and apparently the sound's

565
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:04,040
cutting out now. Brilliant. Okay, hold

566
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:08,760
on a second. I have I have one

567
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:12,760
idea. Oh, someone says Mike

568
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,760
is Okay.

569
00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:21,119
And let's turn off

570
00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:23,200
the let's turn off this feature here in

571
00:41:21,119 --> 00:41:27,520
the Thunder FX settings. So, if you guys haven't used a Thunder effects card

572
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:31,520
before, I'll show you how the control panel

573
00:41:29,079 --> 00:41:37,440
works by hopefully putting this over here, which apparently Oh, look at that.

574
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:40,560
That's bizarre. It doesn't work at all.

575
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,560
It actually doesn't show

576
00:41:40,839 --> 00:41:45,920
you the uh the Thunder FX window that I'm dragging over there. So, I'm going

577
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:49,160
to try turning off the environmental noise cancelling. So, you guys will have

578
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:55,760
to let me know if that's a little bit better. And

579
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:56,760
hopefully uh hold on. I'm going to set a

580
00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:03,040
couple of moderators in the

581
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:06,040
uh in the chat because this is pretty

582
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,040
annoying.

583
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:11,920
Okay, it says audio is cutting out. Well, that's massively improvement. Oh,

584
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:17,760
okay. Apparently, it's better now. You know, it's funny because when I did a TW when I did a test of this, the uh the

585
00:42:15,359 --> 00:42:21,440
noise cancelling feature was actually like worlds better than when I didn't

586
00:42:19,839 --> 00:42:25,839
use it. And I guess for the live stream, it just doesn't work at all. Mr. J Bacon

587
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:32,720
wants to know what's my middle name. And that will forever be a mystery of tech

588
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:35,920
tips. Am I excited for the new Haswells? I'm actually extremely excited for

589
00:42:34,079 --> 00:42:39,599
Intel's upcoming architecture. I hope that it's more of a difference over the

590
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:44,560
previous generation than Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge was. Um I'm a little bit sort

591
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:48,160
of I'm a little bit nervous that we're going to have the same issues we had

592
00:42:45,839 --> 00:42:52,960
with Ivy Bridge where the tininess of the transistors means that they run hot

593
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:56,319
again, but h you know maybe in that time Intel's made some some big advancements

594
00:42:54,960 --> 00:43:02,480
and it's going to be you know really exciting. It's going to overclock like stink. Yes, I'm very excited to check it

595
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:06,400
out. And uh right now I know absolutely nothing more about it that any of you

596
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:14,800
do. Miles, I'm actually afraid I haven't heard of the new ICU PE power line

597
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:20,000
rumors. So maybe you can tell us all more about it. At some point in these

598
00:43:17,319 --> 00:43:24,240
live, people can actually call in like kind of like a radio show. I think

599
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:28,079
that'd be that'd be super exciting. But uh for now, I don't have the means to do

600
00:43:26,079 --> 00:43:32,560
that. that I mean I'd need to have like you know some kind of like TV here and

601
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:36,720
people would be able to like Skype in or something like that and uh and that

602
00:43:35,119 --> 00:43:44,359
would be that would be actually really really neat and people

603
00:43:40,359 --> 00:43:47,040
say coming cutting out

604
00:43:44,359 --> 00:43:51,200
um sounds like it's the headset not the hardware I don't know guys it shouldn't

605
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,200
be the

606
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:58,960
headset we will figure this out at some point someone's asking how to Find my

607
00:43:56,240 --> 00:44:04,560
Twitter. I'm Linus Techch. And there's a cat on my counter. He needs to get down.

608
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:06,440
Hey, get down. Thank you. All right,

609
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:12,800
let's go back to some Twitter questions here. Does the GTX 660 have better

610
00:44:09,119 --> 00:44:14,160
performance than the GTX 570? Um, I

611
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:17,520
don't know. Actually, I haven't I haven't tested them head-to-head. Um,

612
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:22,880
although your best bet would be to look at any GTX 660 review and just find one

613
00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:29,000
that has GTX 570 numbers in it as well, and then you'll know. um sites like

614
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:31,839
hardware connects and antec are good

615
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:37,839
ones can see performance of video cards and CPUs and various things like that.

616
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:42,480
Nick who has a fantastic picture of Mr. Bean for his avatar asks 3770K or 2600 K

617
00:44:41,359 --> 00:44:46,480
for gaming. Both would be cool by an H100. They're pretty similar, especially

618
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:51,280
if you're overclocking. The 3770K getting my personal pick because I do a

619
00:44:49,119 --> 00:44:54,920
lot of video transcoding and the onboard graphics is much better for that versus

620
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:58,400
the 2600 K.

621
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:01,440
Sean, since you've decided on the Gigabyte board for your rig, what's the

622
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:05,839
next thing you're looking for for the rig? Um, the next thing I need to do is

623
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:12,640
actually stressing me out a lot because I have to cut up my Silverstone TJ7,

624
00:45:10,079 --> 00:45:16,640
which is like eating me up inside. Um, I have to carefully plan where I want to

625
00:45:14,720 --> 00:45:20,880
cut some cable management holes in the motherboard tray as well as where I want

626
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:25,119
to cut some other cable management holes throughout the rest of the case. I don't

627
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:29,119
want to make any mistakes. Um, I'm not a Dremel expert by any stretch of the

628
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:32,800
imagination, so I'm a little bit worried about lining something up wrong or

629
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:36,560
cutting a line that's supposed to be straight and level and kind of looks

630
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:42,040
like this. Um, I mean, I am going to be powder coating it after I'm done,

631
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:46,800
so a little bit, but it's still still making me very

632
00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:50,240
nervous. Which leads us to Matthew's. Oh, man. Matthew's question. What is

633
00:45:48,720 --> 00:45:54,400
your favorite case? My favorite case is the Silverstone TJ7 with some of my

634
00:45:52,720 --> 00:46:00,839
other honorable mentions being the Fractal Design Define R3, the Corsair

635
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:02,960
650D, the 800D. Um, Antex P280 is also

636
00:46:00,839 --> 00:46:07,599
outstanding. So, those are some of my favorite cases.

637
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:12,160
Um, the Corsair 300R is a great value considering the price and how good it

638
00:46:09,240 --> 00:46:16,640
looks. Daniel is upset that he bought a Thunderbolt cable and didn't gain any

639
00:46:14,119 --> 00:46:21,280
superpowers. Daniel, you must have cheaped out. You must not have bought

640
00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:23,520
the $50 Thunderbolt cable. So, that's

641
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:27,040
probably the problem. Go buy yourself a more expensive Thunderbolt cable and

642
00:46:25,599 --> 00:46:29,520
then you shouldn't really have any trouble with

643
00:46:30,119 --> 00:46:34,760
that. Do my cats swim? Not if they have

644
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:40,040
a choice. Just like uh just like most cats

645
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:43,040
don't swim if they if they have a choice.

646
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:54,800
Uh okay, moving right along.

647
00:46:51,720 --> 00:46:57,839
Chris, right there. Are there any NVIDIA

648
00:46:54,800 --> 00:47:01,359
3D Vision 2 with light boost technology

649
00:46:57,839 --> 00:47:03,520
monitors that don't have TN panels?

650
00:47:01,359 --> 00:47:09,520
Great question, Chris. And the answer is no for a couple of reasons. So monitor

651
00:47:06,119 --> 00:47:11,359
technology is kind of um is not

652
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:16,040
advancing that fast in terms of the speed of the of the pixel changing which

653
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:20,800
is which is ultimately what is drawing us what is holding us back and people

654
00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:25,160
are still complaining about the mic. I don't know what to do about the mic

655
00:47:22,319 --> 00:47:30,880
guys. So sorry. Um so that is still the bottleneck for us

656
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:33,920
is how fast we can switch the pixels. Now there's a lot of

657
00:47:34,079 --> 00:47:41,839
tom foolery that can go on to enable the panels to switch faster. So TN for

658
00:47:38,720 --> 00:47:46,079
example is a faster panel technology

659
00:47:41,839 --> 00:47:49,680
than IPS or MVA or PVA or PLS. It's the

660
00:47:46,079 --> 00:47:51,520
fastest one by far, but it compromises

661
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:56,400
in terms of accuracy. So, it's kind of like asking, it's kind of like, okay, so

662
00:47:53,680 --> 00:48:03,680
here your your PLS panel, which is my personal favorite, is kind of like

663
00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:07,119
um, you know, a sniper rifle where, you

664
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:09,280
know, it's like slow to reload and, you

665
00:48:07,119 --> 00:48:13,440
know, it takes a while to aim, but it's very accurate, whereas a TN panel is

666
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:18,319
more like a, you know, like a machine gun or something. So, speed versus

667
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:22,000
accuracy. So the PLS panel or or any of the other technologies are going to give

668
00:48:19,599 --> 00:48:26,680
you better color accuracy, better color depth.

669
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:29,359
Um generally generally an overall better

670
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:34,079
image whereas a TN panel is going to flip the pixel as fast as it can. It'll

671
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:40,400
get kind of close but not quite there um every time. So that's why all of the 120

672
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:42,880
Hz panels that are u validated for 3D

673
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:46,200
are TN. Even those panels that people are buying from Korea, they're buying

674
00:48:44,319 --> 00:48:50,160
from overseas, those cheap 2560x440 27inch monitors, the cat leaps

675
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:54,400
and the like that everyone's kind of into, right?

676
00:48:52,160 --> 00:49:00,800
Even though you can set it to 120 Hz and it'll do 120 refreshes of the image per

677
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:02,400
second in terms of motion blur, which is

678
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:05,760
when you're actually changing, for example, from a dark background to a

679
00:49:04,079 --> 00:49:10,960
light background, like with my finger and the and the window here, you will

680
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:12,960
see the pixel having to change. Even

681
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:17,119
though with a static image, it might be sending a signal to itself 120 times a

682
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:23,119
second. So, I hope that makes sense to you guys.

683
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:26,720
no else would validate

684
00:49:23,119 --> 00:49:28,880
um a nonTN panel for 3D because when the

685
00:49:26,720 --> 00:49:33,040
pixels are shifting so that they show you the right or the left eye back and

686
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:36,240
forth like that the the pixels won't be fast enough even if the refresh rate is

687
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:40,160
fast enough so it would never get certified at least not the way it is now

688
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:44,480
OLED on the other hand might be a different story once those get bigger

689
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:48,400
and a little bit more uh more mainstream I mean personally I'm super disappointed

690
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:52,760
that we never saw SED see the light of day. That was Canon's display technology

691
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:59,040
they were working on and it just disappeared. Um, another really good

692
00:49:55,640 --> 00:50:02,319
solution is a DLP projector because DLP

693
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:04,240
is again much faster for switching um in

694
00:50:02,319 --> 00:50:12,240
terms of the not the refresh rate but the response times than uh LCD

695
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:14,160
is. Good question Chris. Thank you for

696
00:50:12,240 --> 00:50:21,920
bringing that question to us. Ruben wants to know, "Ozar ozar ocezzex 3 or 4

697
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:23,839
versus Intel 330." Um, I'd probably go

698
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:27,559
with the Vertex 3 out of those out of those choices. Vert.ex 4 also not a bad

699
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:32,559
choice. Intel 330 is uh it's it's a lowerend it's a lower-end

700
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:37,440
product, but it's Intel, so it's like it's fine. It's reliable. Sebastian,

701
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:40,480
what is the model of your Snap-On screwdriver? I don't know. It's their

702
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:48,280
Snap-On ratcheting screwdriver. Why don't we go on a voyage of discovery together and we'll try searching for

703
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:51,440
Snap-On ratcheting

704
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:55,280
screwdriver. See if it comes up based on

705
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:56,200
the magic that is Google. There it is.

706
00:50:55,280 --> 00:51:02,800
There's one. Uhhuh. Uhhuh. There's an orange one

707
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:05,280
just like mine on the eBays. There's a

708
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:10,319
picture of one just like mine. Oh, look at this. There's a whole like Oh, wow. I

709
00:51:08,319 --> 00:51:15,839
need to collect them all. This is like Pokemon for like Snap-On screwdrivers.

710
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:20,160
I'm geeking out over here. Are these all different colors? No, they couldn't be.

711
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:25,680
No. No. There's a handful of orange ones. There's some multiple black ones.

712
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:29,359
That is awesome. So, here's something you guys probably don't know. Each of

713
00:51:27,119 --> 00:51:34,640
those screwdrivers costs about 80 to 100 bucks. So, that's actually like in terms

714
00:51:32,319 --> 00:51:38,559
of sheer dollar value like a sexier picture than like two GTX 690s next to

715
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:43,800
each other. but you just don't know it because you're not into like Snap-On

716
00:51:40,319 --> 00:51:46,720
tools, which some people might be,

717
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:51,680
but Mike A, what do you see as the next Battlefield 3 in terms of graphics card

718
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:54,720
testing? Crisis 3 probably. I mean, U said that Yurly or however, I don't know

719
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:59,599
how you pronounce his name, but the the Cryc guy basically came out and said,

720
00:51:57,119 --> 00:52:03,839
"We are going to pone PCs with our upcoming version of Cry Engine." And I

721
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:09,839
am personally very excited to see them try because every time we have a game

722
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:13,720
dev actually properly utilize the PC hardware, we end up with a game that

723
00:52:11,119 --> 00:52:18,640
looks awesome and uh and has makes us feel a little bit better

724
00:52:16,559 --> 00:52:22,960
about the money and the time that we've invested into using this PC platform for

725
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:26,480
gaming rather than, you know, popping a disc in the drive and like sitting slack

726
00:52:24,720 --> 00:52:31,200
jaw on our couch like this with like a controller in our hands, which is um not

727
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:35,440
as satisfying for everyone. And I mean, satisfying for some people, I'm sure.

728
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:40,720
And I'm not judging at all. I mean, it's not like I have a uh it's not like I

729
00:52:37,359 --> 00:52:45,000
have a totally unbiased and not at all,

730
00:52:40,720 --> 00:52:48,640
you know, PC glorifying PC versus

731
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:51,200
Xbox video about this kind of a topic.

732
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:55,040
Oh, there we are. There we are. By NCIX. Um although this guy right here is

733
00:52:53,359 --> 00:53:00,200
probably not me anyway, so I don't I don't know what you're talking about.

734
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:07,119
Um, PC rules. Justin, I want an ASUS TF700T. My

735
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:13,079
girlfriend wants the new iPad. Which would you choose? We both already have

736
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:16,640
iPhone 4s. Fascinating question, Justin.

737
00:53:13,079 --> 00:53:18,559
Um, hard to say. I actually don't really

738
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:22,720
like the Gen 3 iPad for a couple of reasons. Number one is it is noticeably

739
00:53:21,119 --> 00:53:26,640
heavier than iPad 2. Anyone who tells you it's not is doesn't know because

740
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:32,160
they probably haven't used an iPad 2 extensively. Um I'm I'm still using my

741
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:33,760
iPad 2 on a daily basis. Um so it is

742
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:37,599
heavier. The thing that really bothers me about it though is it runs warmer. So

743
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:41,359
if you're using it without an insulating case, like kind of a thicker case, you

744
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:44,400
will notice it gets warm in your hands to the point where your fingers will

745
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:51,440
probably sweat and it like you won't be comfortable. Um, TF700T doesn't run 100%

746
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:56,000
super cool either, but it was cooler than iPad 3 from my from my time with

747
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:59,359
it. Um, however, the Android platform isn't for everyone. If you're used to

748
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:03,200
iOS and you like iOS and you have all the apps that you want exactly where you

749
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:08,000
want them, then you might find that you're better off going with uh going

750
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:13,040
with the same ecosystem. But if I was really buying an iPad like today, I'd be

751
00:54:10,720 --> 00:54:17,680
looking for one of the new generation iPads. Actually, Anantech did a

752
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:22,960
fantastic article about this. One of the new generation iPads using the smaller

753
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:28,079
process technology that enables it to have better battery life, like just way

754
00:54:25,599 --> 00:54:33,240
better battery life than the uh than the iPad 3 and even the original iPad 2. So,

755
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:39,319
I hold on iPad uh two.

756
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:41,920
Oh, right. iPad 2 and

757
00:54:39,319 --> 00:54:46,800
tech. I keep forgetting which keys I'm using for the uh for the switching. Ah,

758
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:50,240
yes, this one. 32 nanometer brings better battery life. So, let's let's

759
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:54,319
check out their graph here. If you guys don't don't read an Nantech, then you

760
00:54:52,240 --> 00:54:58,400
should definitely uh definitely check out an Nantech because it's like best.

761
00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:05,520
I've been white reading an anteced for years and years and years and years. Learned tons reading this site. So, here

762
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:07,599
we go. iPad 2.4 gets 11.7 hours of

763
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:14,720
battery life. iPad 2, which is orange, gets 10.1. iPad third generation is all

764
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:19,119
the way down here to 9.25. So that means

765
00:55:14,720 --> 00:55:22,319
a difference of more than two hours of

766
00:55:19,119 --> 00:55:23,920
battery life between So okay, you got

767
00:55:22,319 --> 00:55:27,800
your high resolution screen. Good for you. I'll be using my device for 2 hours

768
00:55:25,839 --> 00:55:31,760
longer than you between charges. Comes down to personal

769
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:35,440
preference, but uh I'm I'm just not that sold on the iPad 3. When we get the high

770
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:38,960
resolution screen in a slightly thinner form factor with longer battery life,

771
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:45,200
then then we're talking and then I might be convinced to pull the trigger on that

772
00:55:42,119 --> 00:55:48,839
one. Shane wants to know, is the 660Ti

773
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:53,599
good graphics card comparable AMD

774
00:55:48,839 --> 00:55:53,599
cards? YouTube is full of awesome

775
00:55:54,359 --> 00:56:02,960
information like this

776
00:55:57,559 --> 00:56:03,960
GTX 660 Ti review.

777
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:10,559
And there's me. And there's me. And there's me

778
00:56:07,559 --> 00:56:13,040
again. And there's everyone else. So go

779
00:56:10,559 --> 00:56:16,079
ahead and check it out and decide if you think it's good. And what are the

780
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:21,799
comparable AMD graphics cards? Because they're all in there. Austin says, "I

781
00:56:19,119 --> 00:56:26,319
live in Vancouver, too. I want to ask you high school." Okay, this this kind

782
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:29,680
of thing won't be tolerated. If you spell school like that and if you spell

783
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:35,200
you like that, then I'm not answering your questions. Brian, when is the last

784
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:41,760
time you went to a land party? Just for fun and not for work. Wow. I think the

785
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:46,720
last time I went to a land was uh probably Kaplan a few years ago. Maybe

786
00:56:44,240 --> 00:56:49,680
Sitoan land a couple years ago. Like there there was a time when I was kind

787
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:54,799
of going to I was going to Kaplan. I was going to Stowen. I was going to uh

788
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:58,640
whatever iteration of Lancouver, Lower Mainland, Van Land, whatever they were

789
00:56:56,559 --> 00:57:03,599
calling it at the time. Um it's just it's been a long time. I suck at video

790
00:57:00,559 --> 00:57:05,960
games, especially now, and so it's just

791
00:57:03,599 --> 00:57:12,240
been hard to justify. Okay, let's see if there's any

792
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:14,559
new questions here. Ah, William, I am

793
00:57:12,240 --> 00:57:18,559
getting an SSD, but I'm not sure what one would be the best to get, such as

794
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:22,160
Brandon size. Thanks for reading. Oh, he only wanted me to read it. Moving right

795
00:57:20,319 --> 00:57:26,480
along. No, I'm just kidding. U, so back to William's question. In terms of size,

796
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:29,119
you should buy the size that you need and the size that you can afford. I

797
00:57:28,079 --> 00:57:33,760
mean, come on. I can't answer that question for you. If you're like, "Oh, well, it's going to be for, you know, a

798
00:57:32,079 --> 00:57:38,400
PFSense router box that I just want to use a solid state drive in so that I can

799
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:42,160
uh so that I can not listen to a worring hard drive and worry about it failing."

800
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:45,799
Well, then get the smallest one you can. or if it's like I'm

801
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:50,359
gonna like gigantic like 3D models of swimming

802
00:57:48,799 --> 00:57:55,520
pools um or something, I don't know, then you

803
00:57:53,359 --> 00:57:59,520
better get a big one. So, you only you can decide how big of a size you need.

804
00:57:57,599 --> 00:58:03,400
And as for the best brand, I mean, there's lots of good

805
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:09,040
brands. Intel, OCZ, these are all good choices.

806
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:14,160
They're all good drives. Here's here's the cold hard truth with the whole SSD

807
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:18,400
performance thing. And there are people who would disagree with me. You know,

808
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:21,599
notably my favorite SSD reviewer, who's the guy over at Hardware Connects. He

809
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:27,119
does not agree with me at all about this. But I would argue that an SSD for

810
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:32,400
for 99% of users out there who are still using hard drives, any SSD is going to

811
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:37,599
be such an enormous upgrade that it's totally doesn't even matter what they

812
00:58:34,319 --> 00:58:40,160
choose. Pick any SSD. Find a modern SSD,

813
00:58:37,599 --> 00:58:43,680
buy it, and put it in your system, and who freaking cares because you won't be

814
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:49,839
able to tell the difference. I mean, if you go back to SSD versus hard drive,

815
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:51,599
which is a video I did a long time ago,

816
00:58:49,839 --> 00:58:57,760
this one right here with the legendary lizard hat, I show realworld demos like alt

817
00:58:56,240 --> 00:59:01,280
tabbing. And now, this is an episode of Tech Tips that I've wanted to do for a

818
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:06,799
long time. I'm finally getting around to it. This is SSD versus hard drive. So,

819
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:10,319
without going any further, Vertex, uh, what was this? SSD. I'm going to alt tab

820
00:59:08,799 --> 00:59:14,079
out of the game. Boom, you're at your desktop. I pressed Alt Tab at exactly

821
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:17,920
the same time on that hard drive machine. And I am still waiting for it

822
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:23,200
to go to the desktop. Same thing when you want to go back in a game. Or if you

823
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:26,960
want to see Supreme Commander 2, when you want to go back to the game, there's

824
00:59:24,559 --> 00:59:30,079
a bunch of applications. The SSD is having back in the game with the SSD.

825
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:35,920
So, now let's hit old systems a little bit harder. Let's say you're searching for all of a particular file like let's

826
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:40,520
say you're looking for every JPEG on your computer or every txt file on your

827
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:45,760
computer. So you can enter a search pretty darn close in terms of

828
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:50,720
real world noticeability extension and let's say let's choose the

829
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:52,720
extension hybrid I because there will be

830
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:57,200
tons of those on any Windows machine. So you can see that the SSD is populating

831
00:59:54,559 --> 01:00:01,760
my list way faster. You can tell by how much smaller the scroll wheel is versus

832
00:59:59,359 --> 01:00:05,839
on the hard drive. That's a really difficult demo to show. And you can also

833
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:09,359
tell that the search is completely done. There we go. And the hard drive is still

834
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:14,400
working at it. This is the green progress bar that is showing how far the

835
01:00:12,079 --> 01:00:20,480
hard drive is. Yeah, we've got 451 items. We're still at 411

836
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:22,319
412 451. The hard drive is finally done.

837
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:28,000
So that is how much longer it took for the hard drive to populate with 451

838
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:29,680
items here. And then let's not forget

839
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:34,640
that one of the most stressful things you can do with your computer is dare to

840
01:00:32,559 --> 01:00:39,839
use it while you're running an antivirus scan. So let's open up the computer

841
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:42,960
scanner in AVG and let's scan whole

842
01:00:39,839 --> 01:00:44,960
computer. Now when you're scanning your

843
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:48,799
computer obviously anything that you try to do is going to be hampered by the

844
01:00:47,359 --> 01:00:53,280
fact that you're doing that. So why don't we go ahead and just do a simple

845
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:56,760
thing like open up Microsoft Word. I'm pretty disappointed SSD is done. the

846
01:00:55,119 --> 01:01:00,760
hard drive to recover from where it's

847
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:06,240
scanning for the file that contains Microsoft.

848
01:01:04,559 --> 01:01:09,599
So, in conclusion, I thought I'd open up our test machine here and let you know

849
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:13,680
that there is no smok and mirrors going on behind the scenes. Every test you saw

850
01:01:11,839 --> 01:01:17,599
was run on two identical machines. One with the Vert.ex, one with the Western

851
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:22,000
Digital 1 TB Black, which is one of the most respected, fastest magnetic hard

852
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:25,599
drives on the market today. But after the demo you saw today, why isn't

853
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:30,480
everyone using an SSD? The answer to that is because right now they have

854
01:01:27,839 --> 01:01:36,000
significantly lower capacities and much higher prices. The SSD we're using today

855
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:38,000
costs over $900 and it is a 200 GB

856
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:43,920
model. The hard drive we're using costs about $100 and it is a 1,000 GB model.

857
01:01:41,359 --> 01:01:47,440
to a lot of people. He apparently was calling to tell me

858
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:52,240
that the YouTube video playing in the background was causing problems, which I

859
01:01:49,839 --> 01:01:56,559
suppose if I'd been looking at the uh at the Twitch TV chat, you guys were

860
01:01:54,240 --> 01:02:00,480
probably Oh, whoa, there we go. Yep. Yep.

861
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:04,559
BG286 says, "Slick calling to tell you about the

862
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:07,599
audio." Outstanding. Thank you, Slick.

863
01:02:04,559 --> 01:02:10,400
Say 1 billion bleeding lambs all at the

864
01:02:07,599 --> 01:02:15,280
same time. So, there you go. See guys, I'm still new to this, so whatever, man.

865
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:18,480
Slick rules. Thank you, Slick. Slick. Slick. Slick. Thanks, Slick. Thank you.

866
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:25,040
I love you, Slick. That's what everyone has to say about all of this. Praise

867
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:25,040
Slick. Okay. Bye,

868
01:02:25,559 --> 01:02:31,520
Slick. So, there you go, guys. If there was any doubt that I was sort of faking

869
01:02:29,839 --> 01:02:38,319
the uh the address book entry when I when I texted him earlier, then um let

870
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:39,920
that be a lesson to you. Oh, I've got a

871
01:02:38,319 --> 01:02:48,880
message. Uh, mute the YouTube audio. Thank you.

872
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:51,119
So, yeah, I whatever. You guys run your

873
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:54,880
own live stream then and I'll watch your live stream and I'll I'll troll

874
01:02:56,040 --> 01:03:04,319
you. Let's go back to Twitter. People respect me, unlike the

875
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:09,440
my phone where people call me and tell me that I'm live streaming. Uh, Ahmed

876
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:15,559
wants to know, "What would be a good water block for Galaxy's GTX 670s?" Um,

877
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:22,079
any water block that is compatible with from EK. Um, I don't know who else.

878
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:25,839
I don't know who else has a has a GTX 670 block here. Why don't we do research

879
01:03:24,079 --> 01:03:30,480
together? So, I'm going to show you guys the process that I go through whenever

880
01:03:28,799 --> 01:03:37,039
someone asks me a question or whenever there's something I don't know. First, I

881
01:03:32,079 --> 01:03:37,039
Google it. Did you mean GTX 670 water

882
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:47,119
block? Sure. Okay. Then I go to some store. In this

883
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:53,119
case, let's go with frozen CPU because they have lots of good stuff. And then I

884
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:56,200
look at all the different GTX 670 water blocks and I find the one that looks

885
01:03:54,640 --> 01:04:02,160
pretty cool. Okay. Oh, the XSPC one is cheaper.

886
01:04:00,079 --> 01:04:05,039
XSPC makes good stuff. EK makes good stuff. SwiftTech makes good stuff. These

887
01:04:03,599 --> 01:04:12,200
are all good brands. I don't like their new circle design, though, so we're going to go with the acrylic top. And

888
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:15,200
there's your There's your answer.

889
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:26,079
Done. Um, and that's assuming you have a reference GTX 670. If you're using a

890
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:27,599
Galaxy card with a nonreference PCB, you

891
01:04:26,079 --> 01:04:31,760
pretty much probably won't be able to find a water block. If you want to water

892
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:36,039
cool your graphics card, you're probably better off to go with a reference card

893
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:40,960
like 95% of the time. Every once in a while,

894
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:44,960
you'll see some special card like an MSI Lightning Edition that has a full cover

895
01:04:43,119 --> 01:04:47,599
block available, but it really doesn't happen that

896
01:04:48,039 --> 01:04:54,520
often. Okay. Sad

897
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:58,960
cigar cigar. Dear Lionus, hi, I'm from India

898
01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:04,720
and biggest fan of your reviews. Please allow Indian for all giveaways. I have

899
01:05:01,839 --> 01:05:10,319
not done a North Americaon giveaway in like two years. Everyone needs to just

900
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:13,760
get over it. I did it one time. Every other giveaway I've done has been

901
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:19,760
worldwide. So, I don't want to address this anymore. And thank you for writing

902
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:21,920
into the show. Lucas, did Logan have any

903
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:25,520
hand in helping Lionus TechTips? I would be greatly interested in knowing the

904
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:31,520
origins of your info. Lionus Tech Tips is called Lionus Tech Tips and not Logan

905
01:05:27,599 --> 01:05:34,400
Tech Tips because it comes from yo me.

906
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:38,480
Um, Logan had a hand in helping Tiger Direct blog for many years and he has a

907
01:05:36,799 --> 01:05:42,240
hand in doing his own thing with Raise the World, but we've never actually

908
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:45,440
collaborated on anything. So, uh, I mean, we've exchanged emails, you know,

909
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:50,319
we've exchanged YouTube private messages a few times, but that's about

910
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:55,280
it. Yep. Keith wants to know which GTX 660 would

911
01:05:52,720 --> 01:06:00,000
I choose that is non-reference. Um, most GTX 660s are non-reference if I recall

912
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:04,319
correctly. This is one of those cards where NVIDIA has made the reference

913
01:06:01,599 --> 01:06:08,520
design sort of very very optional. So, I would probably do something like this. I

914
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:12,839
would go to my favorite computer retailers store and then I would look

915
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:18,799
for a GTX 660, which I would find more easily if

916
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:24,079
the page layout wasn't totally broken because I'm scrolled funny. I'd find one

917
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:27,760
with like a sweet cooler or something and then I' I'd buy it.

918
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:33,680
Um, yeah. You know what? I don't really have a preference on the 660s. The only

919
01:06:32,319 --> 01:06:37,680
one I have any experience with is the MSI Twin Frozer 3 one. I had no problem

920
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:43,200
with it. It's got a Twin Frozer 3 cooler. You know, I'd look for one with an aftermarket cooler. I usually prefer

921
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:46,920
like a dual fan cooler versus uh versus a blower cooler just because they tend

922
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:53,920
to be quieter and they tend to run cooler. But yeah, uh Phil wants to know

923
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:57,280
I'm never going to get this, am I? Phil wants to know, is there a huge

924
01:06:55,520 --> 01:07:01,440
difference between surround and stereo headsets? I use cheap earbuds in game

925
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:06,880
and can still pinpoint the directions of sounds. Great question, Phil. Um, and I

926
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:12,039
would suggest to you that it is a simple matter of mathematical calculation that

927
01:07:10,319 --> 01:07:19,119
you can kind of go, okay, if I have two audio inputs, which

928
01:07:16,079 --> 01:07:23,039
are my ears, and two audio outputs,

929
01:07:19,119 --> 01:07:25,760
which are my speakers, then as long as

930
01:07:23,039 --> 01:07:32,799
the software mixing is done correctly, okay, and this is complicated. this

931
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:36,400
is ality of audio then in theory a

932
01:07:32,799 --> 01:07:41,119
stereo setup is as good as anything in

933
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:44,160
theory. Um for headphones I would never

934
01:07:41,119 --> 01:07:46,799
really use ones with dedicated speakers

935
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:54,160
because what you tend to end up with is lots of small tiny sounding speakers

936
01:07:50,799 --> 01:07:56,960
instead of two larger better sounding

937
01:07:54,160 --> 01:08:01,039
deeper sounding speakers. Um, however, when it comes to speakers, actual

938
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:05,760
physical speakers set up around you, I would suggest if you

939
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:10,480
want speakers are actually better than two stereo speakers in front of

940
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:14,559
you. So, there you go. That is my answer to that

941
01:08:11,559 --> 01:08:16,480
question. Francisco wants to know if it

942
01:08:14,559 --> 01:08:22,560
is worth spending the money on water blocks for two

943
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:25,199
HD5770s. Francesco, these kinds of value

944
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:31,520
analyses are actually quite simple. First, let's find out if anyone even

945
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:34,560
made a GTX 5770 water block. Uh, okay.

946
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:36,480
Apparently EK did. Okay. So, let's go

947
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:38,679
ahead. Let's go to Aqua Tuning. Let's find out how much one of those is going

948
01:08:37,759 --> 01:08:45,440
to cost you. 5770.

949
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:49,480
Oh, okay. We're in USA and Canada. Look

950
01:08:45,440 --> 01:08:52,759
at that US flag for the USA and Canada

951
01:08:49,480 --> 01:08:56,359
region. We Canadians get no getting no

952
01:08:52,759 --> 01:09:03,000
love. Okay. Yeah, let's proceed

953
01:08:56,359 --> 01:09:06,080
again. Okay, let's try this. 5770.

954
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:07,480
Go. So, it looks like your water block

955
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:13,440
is around 40 bucks. So, for 40 bucks times 2 plus

956
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:16,799
whatever you can get for your 5770s, which is usually a quick thing. This

957
01:09:15,279 --> 01:09:21,960
This is the way I always do this, guys. So, we go on eBay. So, so far we're

958
01:09:19,279 --> 01:09:27,120
spending 80 bucks. 5770. We go on eBay and we can find out

959
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:31,839
about how much a 5770 is worth. So buy it now. Six bids around. So let's assume

960
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:37,440
it's worth around 65 bucks. So if you sold your two 5770s, that would give you

961
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:44,400
65 times to $130 plus $80. It would give you $200 to spend. Okay? So, if you had

962
01:09:40,799 --> 01:09:48,520
$200 to spend, you could go to NCIX and

963
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:51,199
search for GTX

964
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:57,000
660 and you would find that a new graphics card. Oh, okay. 660, right? The

965
01:09:54,960 --> 01:10:03,040
non Ti is around a little over 200 bucks for an

966
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:07,520
EVGA 660 superc clocked. Then you go and

967
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:09,440
look at a review of a GTX 660.

968
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:13,040
Okay. So, see, are you guys following me so far? This is the calculation. So,

969
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:16,800
we've got 200 bucks to spend, but we spent about 10% over our budget, which

970
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:20,320
is unfortunate. Okay. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Here's our review.

971
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:24,000
We're going to go let's just pick some arbitrary game like uh like one that

972
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:27,760
scales pretty well sort of across the board like uh say for example, really

973
01:10:26,159 --> 01:10:32,640
they're using Crisis Warhead. Sure. Okay. Crisis Warhead. Let's find out how

974
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:40,280
Crisis Warhead performs. And then we go, okay, so the 660

975
01:10:35,719 --> 01:10:43,520
destroys pretty much anything below a

976
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:45,880
7850. Then we can go back and we can

977
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:51,520
look at a 7850 review.

978
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:51,520
Okay. And we can find

979
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:58,400
out, well, Guru 3D. See, these are all credible sites. Guru 3D, hardware

980
01:10:56,080 --> 01:11:03,120
connects and ant Tom's hardware. We're only looking for approximates. We're

981
01:10:59,920 --> 01:11:04,400
just doing a rough calculation here. So

982
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:11,679
prices too, it doesn't really matter. We're looking for approximates and they do not have a lot

983
01:11:08,239 --> 01:11:11,679
of Oh, there we go. There we go.

984
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:19,520
7770 a

985
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:21,880
78 gets absolutely rocked by almost

986
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:28,640
double. Which means that even if your 7770s scale pretty well in Crossfire,

987
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:32,040
your new GTX 660 is going to be more

988
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:34,120
than 10% faster than which means that it

989
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:39,679
is the same feature set. Um, longerterm driver

990
01:11:37,679 --> 01:11:43,840
support, probably more worthwhile to get a new card as opposed to spending a

991
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:48,960
bunch of money on your old cards. That folks is the way we do it. That is how

992
01:11:46,159 --> 01:11:52,480
we figure out what's a better value. You compare things across multiple reviews.

993
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:57,040
You figure out how much it's going to cost, how much your hardware is worth.

994
01:11:54,480 --> 01:12:01,679
And then you just flip your 70 or whatever they're called,

995
01:11:58,440 --> 01:12:03,600
57. And wait, 5770s. Was that even the

996
01:12:01,679 --> 01:12:09,199
one I was looking at? I was looking at 7770s. Oh, the 5770 is terrible. Yeah, I

997
01:12:06,719 --> 01:12:13,440
know. It's a terrible value. Yeah. Get a new card there. Now we know. Now we know

998
01:12:11,199 --> 01:12:18,760
the answer. Oh, look who visited us. It's Rumble the cat. Say hello,

999
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:18,760
everybody.

1000
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:26,239
Can you say hello here? Let's give him a headset. He's not going to feel like

1001
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:26,239
he's part of the show unless he has a

1002
01:12:27,719 --> 01:12:31,040
headset. Can you say

1003
01:12:31,239 --> 01:12:34,719
hi? Can you say

1004
01:12:35,719 --> 01:12:43,120
hi? Oh, he's not impressed at all.

1005
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:45,120
Okay. The cat is not impressed at all

1006
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:50,800
with our uh with our setup here. Anyway, we are going to sit together now and I'm

1007
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:50,800
going to answer some more Twitter

1008
01:12:52,360 --> 01:13:00,719
questions. Twitch TV is only for gaming. Too bad. That's this guy right here. Too

1009
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:07,320
bad. Twitch TV knows I'm here. They can kick me off if they want. That's

1010
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:10,159
fine. Oh, he's getting

1011
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:12,960
down. Okay, let's go back up to the top here because all these tweets are from

1012
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:17,199
about half an hour ago. Who knows? These guys might not even still be watching anymore. Let's have a look at some new

1013
01:13:15,440 --> 01:13:22,239
tweets. So, we're probably going to wrap things up in about 10 minutes here,

1014
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:23,840
guys. And uh I will hopefully Yes, MK. I

1015
01:13:22,239 --> 01:13:28,000
know. Fix my audio. It's cutting in and out and dying and something. Check

1016
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:32,040
Twitch randomly at least. Oh. Oh. Oh, he wants me to check the Twitch chat. All

1017
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:38,000
right, let's have a look at the Twitch chat. H, that cat is so cute. Yes, it's

1018
01:13:35,440 --> 01:13:42,000
a cat. Guys, if you want questions answered, go post it on Twitter. Yes,

1019
01:13:39,679 --> 01:13:46,320
guys, if you want questions answered, please do post them on Twitter. I'm on

1020
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:49,440
Twitter at Linus Tech. Um, and I'm mostly ignoring the Twitch chat tonight

1021
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:55,520
because I haven't got a better system for arranging the Windows here. I'll figure out something for next week. I

1022
01:13:52,159 --> 01:13:57,199
hope. And by then, I I really hope the

1023
01:13:55,520 --> 01:14:02,080
audio will be fixed. But I I really don't know what else to say about it at this point because I've tried

1024
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:08,800
everything. I've tried this external sound card. I've tried this external

1025
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:10,960
sound card. I've tried freaking this

1026
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:17,360
external sound card which is supposed to be BOS and like balling out and none of

1027
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:20,480
them are working for me here. So, um

1028
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:22,320
I've tried multiple headsets and uh

1029
01:14:20,480 --> 01:14:26,880
cameraman wants my address. Apparently, he wants to like hardcore creep me.

1030
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:32,560
Actually, no. No, I already told you that won't work because I already told you guys that uh he was planning to come

1031
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:38,159
here with an iPhone 5 so that we can get an unboxing done which is very exciting.

1032
01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:43,120
Gary wants to know, Lionus, what is the most silent pump? Thanks very much. Get

1033
01:14:40,159 --> 01:14:48,920
an MCP655 or a D5? They're the same thing. Turn the dial all the way down to

1034
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:52,159
one. Very, very, very

1035
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:53,920
quiet. KMR wants to know, Lionus, how do

1036
01:14:52,159 --> 01:14:58,800
you know how to learn to string a badminton racket? Um, I have a friend

1037
01:14:56,080 --> 01:15:03,199
who works at a badminton shop and he showed me. It's actually not that hard.

1038
01:15:01,679 --> 01:15:06,560
Uh once you get the hang of it, you got to do like the over under over under

1039
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:09,440
over under. You have to look up the stringing patterns on the manufacturer

1040
01:15:08,159 --> 01:15:13,840
website. Make sure you put everything through the right holes. Who knows? Maybe I'll do a video about it at some

1041
01:15:12,159 --> 01:15:17,840
point. But I'm not very good at it. It takes me about an hour to string a

1042
01:15:15,679 --> 01:15:21,840
racket. And to put that in perspective, he can do it in I think about 20

1043
01:15:19,440 --> 01:15:26,679
minutes, maybe a little less. So I'm incredibly slow and my way of uh my way

1044
01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:32,400
of doing it is actually not that efficient. Paul Tiberius Nicola. That is

1045
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:39,239
a fantastic name. Paul Tiberius, how much does a PCI Express high performance

1046
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:42,800
SSD affect video cards using a PCIe

1047
01:15:39,239 --> 01:15:44,800
lanes? Lose the entire electrical lane.

1048
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:49,199
Okay, Paul. Um, first I'd like to clarify a little bit how the PCI Express

1049
01:15:46,719 --> 01:15:54,800
lane allocations work. So, as long as you install that PCI Express Whoops,

1050
01:15:52,719 --> 01:15:58,239
there we go. That PCI Express card into a slot that isn't in the same slot as

1051
01:15:56,560 --> 01:16:02,800
your graphics card, they're not really fighting over it. So, for example, in an

1052
01:15:59,920 --> 01:16:07,600
X79 board, you've got two 16x slots or you've got

1053
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:10,159
1688. If you install that PCIe card in

1054
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:13,679
down here, then it'll switch to 1688, which really won't affect your

1055
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:18,000
performance much. So, um I know that's what you meant. I was just I was just

1056
01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:25,199
messing with you before. Um but yes, it will change the configuration of your

1057
01:16:21,719 --> 01:16:26,400
PCIe slots. Um but you can sacrifice as

1058
01:16:25,199 --> 01:16:31,440
little or as much as you want. And I mean lots of boards um especially Z77

1059
01:16:28,719 --> 01:16:35,520
boards have PCIe 4X slots usually down at the bottom that are hooked up through

1060
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:42,080
the chipset and running off a completely different um set of PCIe lanes versus

1061
01:16:38,239 --> 01:16:43,679
the 28x slots. So you just have to look

1062
01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:49,679
at the uh at the layout for your board and see what makes sense for

1063
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:51,840
you. Um Fazil says from Iraq and I say

1064
01:16:49,679 --> 01:17:00,320
hi Iraq. KPK TDS, how many years will last an i5

1065
01:16:56,520 --> 01:17:04,000
3570K for gaming? Please answer. I would

1066
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:04,000
love to answer you with a

1067
01:17:06,120 --> 01:17:14,000
video. YouTube.com. Let's see what comes up. Oh. Oh, special daily rewards. Oh,

1068
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:17,800
I've been selected to take part in an annual visitor

1069
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:23,000
survey. YouTube.com. What a scam. Don't go to

1070
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:26,400
YouTube.com. It's probably a scam. Although, when you guys are gone,

1071
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:30,719
I'm going to go back and find out if I won anything. I just didn't want you to

1072
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:36,840
get like my activation code so that I'd have to share my prize with you. All

1073
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:40,320
right. Future

1074
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:42,719
proofing. Let's see. Oh, it's me. Holy

1075
01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:47,760
crap. Look at me. I'm right there. Proofing your PC. Dispelling some myths.

1076
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:50,719
This was one of the simplest NCIX tech tips episodes we ever filmed. And this

1077
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:55,120
time I'm going to remember about the YouTube audio so I'm not going to wreck

1078
01:17:53,440 --> 01:17:59,520
it. But I basically talked for 10 minutes about how future proof Welcome

1079
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:03,920
to NC Tech Tips. Today's format is going to be a little bit different

1080
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:09,600
for when you get your next paycheck or like a month later then it makes sense.

1081
01:18:06,239 --> 01:18:11,280
But if you intend to actually

1082
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:14,159
basically I say don't worry about it. Doesn't work that way. No one has a

1083
01:18:12,719 --> 01:18:18,960
crystal ball. Anyone who tells you you're future proofing your PC is trying

1084
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:21,199
to sell you something. I mean, yeah.

1085
01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:25,280
Don't don't believe that. Joe wants to know, "GTX 662 gig or 3 gig." Joe, the

1086
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:30,800
answer is quite simple. If you're going to be running at very high res, go ahead, grab the 3 gig cards. If you are

1087
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:36,159
not running at high res, if you're going to be running at sort of a more normal like 1080 resolution, go with the 2 gig

1088
01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:41,760
cards because it won't make any difference whatsoever. Edward Dwarkin,

1089
01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:45,840
would you recommend an AMD APU for a very lowbudget rig? Absolutely, Edward.

1090
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:52,080
I would especially if you want to play entry-level games on it because compared

1091
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:54,159
to Intel's integrated GPUs, the APU dead

1092
01:18:52,080 --> 01:19:00,159
or integrated graphics that's included is really good. It's way better than

1093
01:18:56,800 --> 01:19:01,520
Intel's even Intel's Ivy Bridge GPUs.

1094
01:19:00,159 --> 01:19:06,560
So, let's see if the cat wants to come back and visit us again. Looks like he's

1095
01:19:03,199 --> 01:19:09,080
thinking about it. Yep, here he comes.

1096
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:13,440
All right, more Twitter questions. Zack, do you ever use Linux

1097
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:18,560
for anything? No, I don't. I get that question a lot

1098
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:23,120
though. Daniel wants to know, "Where do you think a college student should start

1099
01:19:20,159 --> 01:19:27,800
looking for a job related to what I do?" Um, what I do is product management. So,

1100
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:32,320
if you took like, I don't know, product management program, then you might learn

1101
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:35,520
a thing or two about managing products. I mean, product management is pretty

1102
01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:40,239
simple. Basically, you find stuff you think people would want. you try and find it at a price where you think your

1103
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:43,600
company can make money and then you try and sell it at a price where the company

1104
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:47,199
does make money but people are still happy with the price and they want to

1105
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:50,880
buy it. So, you know, as long as you can handle handle those basic ideas, then

1106
01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:56,480
you should be fine. It's not rocket science by any stretch of the imagination. Um, as for the YouTube

1107
01:19:54,719 --> 01:20:01,280
thing, the best way to get started looking for a job related to YouTube is

1108
01:19:58,239 --> 01:20:03,120
to well upload videos to YouTube because

1109
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:07,679
that's probably how someone will see your YouTube video and watch it and like

1110
01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:10,960
it. Speaking of which, you guys should like this video. Wait, no, it won't work

1111
01:20:09,440 --> 01:20:14,320
that way. Well, I'm gonna upload this video to YouTube after. So, if anyone's

1112
01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:18,640
actually still watching an hour and 18 minutes into it, then they can definitely like my video because if

1113
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:25,679
they've watched that much of it, they probably like it. Jesse just sent me a link to Newegg.

1114
01:20:23,199 --> 01:20:29,360
How dare you, Jesse? How could you do this to

1115
01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:34,159
me? Some heat sink. I don't know. It's a heat sink. Did you know Newegg has a

1116
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:39,360
site just for Canadian shoppers? All prices in Canadian

1117
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:40,960
currency. Oh, new egg. New egg. New egg.

1118
01:20:39,360 --> 01:20:44,600
Yeah, you have a Canadian site, but I don't know if anyone cares. Bam. Take

1119
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:50,159
that, Paul. And the other guy. Shoot. I even

1120
01:20:48,480 --> 01:20:53,840
tried to get everyone to follow him. No, I can't even can't even remember. My

1121
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:57,040
brain my brain's kind of fried. It's actually been a very long day and I've

1122
01:20:55,679 --> 01:21:01,360
been live streaming for almost an hour and a half. So, uh, and in answer to

1123
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:06,080
your question, Jesse, go with the better heat sink, which is the one you linked,

1124
01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:06,080
not the Cooler Master

1125
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:14,080
212. Matt wants to know, "What is going on with the Pile Driver CPU, and when

1126
01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:18,199
will AMD make a new CPU without integrated graphics?" Coming very soon.

1127
01:21:16,159 --> 01:21:24,600
There's lots of information all over the interwebs. Um, if you were to

1128
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:27,440
search 50, you might kind of

1129
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:31,760
interesting. I can't tell you anything. But, uh, you know, the rumor sites, for

1130
01:21:30,159 --> 01:21:35,679
all the, uh, for all the flack they take about being wrong about this or that,

1131
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:39,520
are are right so often that it's definitely worthwhile reading them if

1132
01:21:37,679 --> 01:21:41,679
you really want to know what's coming in the

1133
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:48,000
future. Stephen, I'm trying to decide

1134
01:21:45,719 --> 01:21:52,080
between is it worth investing in the Intel? Short answer is fine. Uh, it's a

1135
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:55,760
bit of a longer answer than that, unfortunately. low-end gaming machine,

1136
01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:58,719
entry- level gaming, just basic productivity, go with the AMD machine

1137
01:21:57,520 --> 01:22:04,960
because it honestly doesn't make that much of a difference anymore. Um, any CPU is fast enough for word processing

1138
01:22:02,480 --> 01:22:09,760
these days. If you want a higher performance machine, then Intel will

1139
01:22:08,239 --> 01:22:13,840
perform better. So, do you want to spend more and get more performance? Okay, go

1140
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:17,360
Intel. Do you not want to spend more? Do you not want more performance? Go with

1141
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:21,679
AMD. I mean, there are certain applications, however,

1142
01:22:19,239 --> 01:22:28,040
even perform pretty well. something like an FX8150 where all those cores are

1143
01:22:24,480 --> 01:22:30,400
being leveraged can perform pretty well.

1144
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:35,560
Um, especially given the price points. I think an 8150 is around 200 bucks now

1145
01:22:32,480 --> 01:22:38,480
and the motherboards are

1146
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:43,679
cheaper. Katsu Lionus, what do you think of two 120 mm rads compared to a single

1147
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:49,000
240 mm rad? I'm planning to water cool my 550D and I want my sound damp pads.

1148
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:52,960
Two 120 mm almost identically. The only

1149
01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:56,639
difference is you are going to hamper your flow rate a little bit, which

1150
01:22:54,639 --> 01:23:00,639
doesn't make that much of a difference to the performance of your loop. So, if

1151
01:22:58,639 --> 01:23:04,480
it's more convenient for you to use two 120s, go for it. Do it. It really won't

1152
01:23:03,199 --> 01:23:10,480
matter that much, especially if you have a decent pump. Don't use like a craptastic pump with it or anything like

1153
01:23:07,679 --> 01:23:13,800
that, though. Get an MCP 655 or 350 or 355 for that

1154
01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:18,560
matter. Michael, can you still overclock Intel

1155
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:21,920
CPUs without a K on the end? You can, but only a little bit. If you really

1156
01:23:20,239 --> 01:23:26,239
want the benefit of that CPU and you want to really crank it up, get one with

1157
01:23:23,679 --> 01:23:30,320
a K on the end. Yan says, "Linus, show us your

1158
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:30,320
cat."

1159
01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:36,440
Bam. That's my kitty.

1160
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:40,800
Okay, Phil's question we already answered. Uh, Simrons wants to know,

1161
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:48,639
"Why don't I ever review ASUS video cards?" To which I would reply, um, I

1162
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:48,639
don't know. Let's see. ASUS

1163
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:58,480
Linus. Oh, okay. Let's try ASUS Linus

1164
01:23:54,520 --> 01:24:01,760
video. Okay, we got a GTX 580 Mars 2.

1165
01:23:58,480 --> 01:24:03,360
We've got an Aries 5870X2, although that

1166
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:09,159
was just a giveaway. There's the unboxing of it. Here's the uh testing of

1167
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:11,440
it. Here's an unboxing of a 560Ti direct

1168
01:24:09,159 --> 01:24:16,239
CU2. Okay, so I see your point. All right. All right. Okay. So, some of this

1169
01:24:12,719 --> 01:24:19,400
is older stuff. Um, honestly, um, I

1170
01:24:16,239 --> 01:24:22,719
don't have them, so it's harder for me

1171
01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:26,320
to, you know, look at them, investigate

1172
01:24:22,719 --> 01:24:28,960
them, check for imperfections in the

1173
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:32,960
finish. Um, yeah, it's really that simple. Whatever Whatever crosses my

1174
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:38,560
path, and usually for ASUS, it's things like sound cards and motherboards and

1175
01:24:36,239 --> 01:24:42,000
uh, notebooks. Whatever crosses my path, I will make videos about. And I just

1176
01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:47,120
really don't I don't really don't get my hands on ASUS video

1177
01:24:44,440 --> 01:24:52,159
cards. Khalil, I missed you when you were at CES. Will you ever be near

1178
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:54,159
Northern Nevada or Sacramento again? Um,

1179
01:24:52,159 --> 01:24:58,800
I don't know. I might be at CES again next year. I might not. It really

1180
01:24:55,360 --> 01:25:02,639
depends what happens. Um, yeah. And we

1181
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:03,719
got our favorite troller. Haha. You're

1182
01:25:02,639 --> 01:25:08,280
so cool. A, it's adorable.

1183
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:17,920
And have you updated your iPhone to iOS 6? I have

1184
01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:19,840
not. Uh, we're going to scroll down.

1185
01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:25,440
Linus, turn off the YouTube video. Ah, we've gotten down to to

1186
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:29,840
that. Felix says, "Fail night, Lionus. Video is louder than you and getting

1187
01:25:26,719 --> 01:25:31,960
longer mic breaks." I know. I don't know

1188
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:36,080
what to do. Well, I do know what to do. I need

1189
01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:40,159
to get better equipment and it's coming, but for now I don't know what to do to

1190
01:25:38,159 --> 01:25:44,159
address it. All right, let's go look at some of the newer tweets. 122 new

1191
01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:48,719
interactions. Thank you to those of you who are still watching because uh there

1192
01:25:46,719 --> 01:25:51,760
are still 1500 of you watching the stream, which is just outstanding,

1193
01:25:50,480 --> 01:25:56,560
especially given the technical challenges we've had tonight. I'm sure at least a

1194
01:25:54,199 --> 01:25:59,920
few few people are probably getting sort of frustrated with all the technical

1195
01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:03,679
difficulties, and I'm sorry for that. But I really do appreciate your guys'

1196
01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:08,760
support and uh the fact that you're watching the show. Joe wants to know,

1197
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:14,159
should I upgrade to Ivy Bridge from my Q6600? Um I would say that is an

1198
01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:18,719
excellent upgrade. You've waited a few generations. You've uh yeah, you you

1199
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:22,400
deserve it, man. Go ahead and upgrade to Ivy Bridge. Um Haswell is going to be

1200
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:28,159
faster, but you can always end up waiting for the next thing, and you're going to get a definite performance

1201
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:29,920
increase from that upgrade. Uh, merit.

1202
01:26:28,159 --> 01:26:34,000
How difficult is it to water cool GPUs if you are already custom cooling the

1203
01:26:31,480 --> 01:26:38,880
CPU? Not that difficult. Actually, the hardest thing about water cooling a GPU

1204
01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:41,840
is installing the graphics card water block. But if you're very careful and

1205
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:50,000
you pay special attention to the instructions, you shouldn't have too much trouble. So, let's go GPU water

1206
01:26:46,159 --> 01:26:52,239
block guide. Let's see what comes up.

1207
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:56,719
There's one from Singularity Computers. There's one's from Troubar. There's one

1208
01:26:54,560 --> 01:27:02,239
from Daz Mode. And hey, it's Daz mode. He's Canadian,

1209
01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:04,400
too. And there's me. So, I show you how

1210
01:27:02,239 --> 01:27:09,520
to install a full cover water block on a GPU. As long as you watch that video and

1211
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:15,000
figure that you can handle that, then go for it. Have fun. It's

1212
01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:19,760
good. Oh, Rubet, can you recommend a cheap gaming

1213
01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:24,199
laptop? That's like asking me if I can

1214
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:33,360
recommend, you know, a a delicious um you know, a delicious bottle of urine

1215
01:27:28,639 --> 01:27:36,320
or wait, no, it's more like bottle of I

1216
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:41,280
don't know, um apple juice. I like apple juice. Orange Tropicana. It's like uh

1217
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:47,120
yes, it's like asking me for I don't know. It's contradicting. Gaming laptops

1218
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:50,280
aren't cheap because the CPUs, the GPUs,

1219
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:52,040
the displays, everything about them is

1220
01:27:50,280 --> 01:28:00,560
expensive. So, no, maybe buy one used. I don't

1221
01:27:57,239 --> 01:28:04,400
know. Darien, can you build a computer

1222
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:06,400
for me? I will tell you all the parts I

1223
01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:10,159
want and pay you for the assembling fee. Please tweet me back. You know what?

1224
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:15,719
Let's tweet back, Darien. I wonder if he's still watching the stream.

1225
01:28:13,199 --> 01:28:23,360
Let's tweet him back. Let's say is $1,000

1226
01:28:19,480 --> 01:28:23,360
o is

1227
01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:31,760
$1,000. Think he's going to say? You think he'll do it? I'll tell you what.

1228
01:28:28,159 --> 01:28:34,000
If he does it, then I will I will spend

1229
01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:38,719
$500 of the assembly fee that was collected buying some high-end graphics

1230
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:42,520
card and I will give it away on Twitter. Let's see if he does it.

1231
01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:49,360
Okay, moving down. Uh, Shelby, I just wanted to say

1232
01:28:47,679 --> 01:28:55,920
thanks for making videos and educating me. I ordered my first order from NCX

1233
01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:55,920
yesterday. Way to go, Shelby. You did

1234
01:28:56,040 --> 01:29:03,040
good. All right, we've got only three minutes left,

1235
01:28:59,960 --> 01:29:04,800
guys. No, I promised a test for the XFX

1236
01:29:03,040 --> 01:29:09,120
WD cooling system, but never did one. Um, you know what? I'd totally forgotten

1237
01:29:06,480 --> 01:29:13,679
about it. So, in all likelihood, it's probably not not coming. Um, cuz there's

1238
01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:19,280
enough sort of new video cards coming out and everything that I'm pretty busy.

1239
01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:21,840
But, uh, yeah, I'm I'mma leave I'mma leave that for

1240
01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:29,120
now. Rhino Rager wants to know, "Why is

1241
01:29:26,239 --> 01:29:33,679
it that when I record, I watch it, it's so choppy?" Um, are you talking about

1242
01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:37,440
recording games? I'm going to need some clarification. Maybe resend that

1243
01:29:35,280 --> 01:29:40,480
question next week. Um, if you're talking about recording games, if you're

1244
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:43,440
talking about recording videos or whatever else the case may be, if you're

1245
01:29:42,159 --> 01:29:47,760
talking about recording this live stream, then maybe just watch it on

1246
01:29:45,199 --> 01:29:50,000
YouTube after. I don't know. Moving right

1247
01:29:55,159 --> 01:30:01,719
along. Ah, Dali wants to know if I can

1248
01:29:58,239 --> 01:30:01,719
speak some French.

1249
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:14,960
I told him I couldn't in French. Basically, it's too difficult. It's been

1250
01:30:13,199 --> 01:30:20,800
a long time since I've really spoke any French. Uh I I'm not My vocab is I can't

1251
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:24,800
remember anything anymore. Joseph wants to know, "Do I personally like NCX's

1252
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:31,080
site design?" Answer truthfully. I will answer truthfully, but partially. I

1253
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:31,080
liked it eight years ago.

1254
01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:46,719
CJ, sorry to repost this, but I want an expert opinion. I just bought two

1255
01:30:44,679 --> 01:30:50,400
EVGA480s. Is it still relevant or should I upgrade? As long as you're okay with

1256
01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:54,239
the heat they kick out, then they're fine. I mean, you probably only paid a

1257
01:30:52,639 --> 01:30:58,239
couple hundred bucks each, which is still a very valid price for those

1258
01:30:56,159 --> 01:31:04,719
cards. 200 bucks for something that's essentially equivalent to a GTX 570 um

1259
01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:06,880
except kicks out more heat um and scales

1260
01:31:04,719 --> 01:31:12,800
pretty well in SLI for me card. It's actually more powerful for CUDA than a

1261
01:31:09,120 --> 01:31:12,800
570. So yeah, totally

1262
01:31:13,719 --> 01:31:22,800
fine. And I think we're pretty much done here, guys. One

1263
01:31:19,239 --> 01:31:25,920
more one more tweet. Let's take the top

1264
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:28,080
tweet once I reload this and then we are

1265
01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:32,639
pretty much gonna wrap it up here. So, let's switch back to

1266
01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:32,639
here. All

1267
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:41,120
right, Alexis. No, that's not really a question. Sorry,

1268
01:31:38,199 --> 01:31:45,760
Alexi. Rumble Muffin wants to know why is it

1269
01:31:42,440 --> 01:31:47,760
that 11 CPU is only clocked to 4 GHz in

1270
01:31:45,760 --> 01:31:52,400
my benchmark videos? Because that was a quick and easy overclock. It's something

1271
01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:58,880
I know that anyone with that CPU will be able to obtain, attain, obtain, attain.

1272
01:31:55,360 --> 01:32:00,560
So, as long as I use a setting that I

1273
01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:04,560
know other people can replicate, then my testing is therefore easily

1274
01:32:05,320 --> 01:32:12,719
replicable. I've clearly had enough of this. So, I'm a eager eager eagerly

1275
01:32:11,199 --> 01:32:17,040
awaiting cameraman to show up with the iPhone 5 and uh you know, maybe we'll

1276
01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:21,840
stream that. Don't forget guys, if you aren't already, make sure you are

1277
01:32:19,199 --> 01:32:26,400
subscribed on YouTube, Linus TechTips. Subscribed on YouTube,

1278
01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:31,679
NCIXCOM, following me on Twitter at Linus Tech, and subscribed on Twitch

1279
01:32:29,280 --> 01:32:35,840
because all those different places get all kinds of different content that I

1280
01:32:34,159 --> 01:32:43,800
work every day on producing just for you. So, thank you for watching and
