WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.520 Let's do a quick sound check, shall we? For those of you who 00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:10.639 are watching already, we're like two 00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:12.080 minutes early today. So, uh Oh, I 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 00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:21.080 off to go somewhere else. Do you want to leave them in 00:00:18.520 --> 00:00:26.560 here? Yeah, there we go. There. So, I'd just like to know if this 00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:31.239 is working. So, if someone on Twitter or someone on uh you know, something can 00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:36.320 let me know. Actually, I can check the I'll 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 00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:47.200 those of you who have not seen my my intro teaser video on YouTube, we are 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:49.760 potentially going to have a live 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:55.120 unboxing of the iPhone 5 tonight, which I know you guys are super super excited 00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:57.920 about. unboxing of the iPhone 5 tonight. 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 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 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 00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:17.759 go. All right. Tell me something. When you see that 10 people have typed echo, 00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:22.320 do you feel the need to say echo? When you see that 10 people have typed 00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:26.920 echoing, do you feel the need to say echo? When you see that 10 people have 00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:31.439 typed echo still gone, please mute your stream. No, no, 00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:34.320 the stream is muted. Hold on. Hold on. Still gone. Okay, we might have a 00:01:32.960 --> 00:01:37.600 problem here. Please mute your stream. No, no, the stream is muted. Hold on. 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 00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:46.240 stream is muted. Hold on. Good thing we started. Browser page isn't even showing 00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:49.600 my stream. That's bizarre. All right, let's go to a different website. 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 00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:57.600 great that we're having this uh great that we're having this time 00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:01.840 together like 10 seconds apart. Okay, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. It's great 00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:06.719 that we're having this time together. 10 seconds apart. Okay, hold on. We cannot 00:02:04.479 --> 00:02:10.319 see the Echo results until people say close your stream. My stream is closed. 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 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. 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 00:02:23.239 --> 00:02:26.879 this. Okay. How about 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:35.599 now? Still echo. There we go. Are we good? We 00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:41.760 good. All right, we're good. Apparently, I have to mute XSplit because XSplit is 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 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 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:57.200 the audio quality tonight because I am using something pretty sweet. This is an 00:02:53.480 --> 00:03:00.239 ASUS Thunder FX sound external sound 00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:03.680 card that has an environmentally 00:03:00.239 --> 00:03:05.680 cancelling noiseancel thing. That red 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 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:13.080 unit to me that audio is the same. It's 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:18.879 a little worse than last time. Good clear voice. 00:03:16.200 --> 00:03:22.800 See? Yeah, you guys uh you guys are giving me mixed messages here. So, why 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 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 00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:34.519 each other are talking about. Let's go. Eight new interactions. Oh, okay. There 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:42.879 are two audio. Fine. Aha. HKG who is 00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:45.519 here wants to know how do I feel about 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:50.080 the Trinity APUs that are coming out. So I don't really have feelings about 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:56.080 hardware per se, but I am definitely excited to see what AMD has done in 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:57.439 terms of uh faster gaming performance on 00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:03.720 what would otherwise be a very entrylevel processor. Now, it's no 00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:06.000 secret that AMD's APUs already destroy 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. 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:16.919 YouTube.com. And we're not going to have sound here, guys. Sorry. Uh so, 00:04:13.480 --> 00:04:19.919 YouTube.com. Let's have a look at our 00:04:16.919 --> 00:04:19.919 IGP 00:04:20.359 --> 00:04:26.800 showdown. There, that's me right there. See, very few people watch these videos, 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:30.960 which is frustrating because they're pretty informative. See, look at that. 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 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:39.440 these like these uh these more educational videos. So, as I have 00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:43.160 apologized for numerous times in the past, and people think my voice quality 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:47.120 is way worse than before. I mean, I can turn off the 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:50.800 environmental. You know what? I'm just not going to play with it. So, skip 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 00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:00.759 skip the ad. So, this is me with a crazy 00:04:58.880 --> 00:05:06.560 hairdo that and uh this is the video not 00:05:03.919 --> 00:05:11.440 playing which is obviously really helpful to make it look you know less 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:15.759 horrible. So, basically we do graphs and those green graphs there are the AMD 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:21.919 graphs and this this is Crisis right here and those blue graphs are the Intel 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:24.800 graphs. So, this is Ivy Bridge versus 00:05:21.919 --> 00:05:29.280 Intel's or AMD's first generation APU. So, with their next generation APU, I am 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:33.759 super excited to see what they come out with. I actually have about three of the 00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:38.639 new APUs on hand already. Well, rather Slick has them, and he's working on 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 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:46.960 speak. But, uh, he he actually he actually may not be. So, there there's 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 00:05:50.080 --> 00:05:55.600 like part of the live show at some point. Like crank calling slick whenever 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 00:05:58.479 --> 00:06:06.440 gonna do this. So, the first tweet, 00:06:01.960 --> 00:06:09.600 okay, of what I should prank text 00:06:06.440 --> 00:06:11.759 Slick. I will I will take that I'll take 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 00:06:12.960 --> 00:06:20.560 watching the Twitter feed here. And uh I'm just going to change just just so 00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:22.319 you guys just so you guys can can be can 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 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:28.639 go because he was trolling me during uh during one of my previous live streams. 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:34.240 He actually phoned me in the middle of it and was asking me sort of smartassar 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:37.039 remarks questions. All right, hold on. I'm going to change his name in my 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 00:06:39.520 --> 00:06:46.639 different real name, which is obviously Slick. And I'm just going to cover up 00:06:43.840 --> 00:06:51.199 his phone number here. Whoops. So you guys can see that this is the whatever. 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 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:58.400 it. Okay. Here we go. New interactions coming in. I'm going to find the first 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 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 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:15.680 do it anyway because that's what you guys have asked for here. Okay. 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 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:24.560 stream, then uh here. Here we go. Here 00:07:20.479 --> 00:07:27.199 we go. So, that's slick. And that is uh 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 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:37.520 we go. There it goes. See, we just prank texted someone. Let's 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 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, 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 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:51.360 if we have any other topics coming in. 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 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 00:07:59.919 --> 00:08:04.960 iPhone 5. Okay, no more suggestions. No more suggestions. And besides, I tell 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. 00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:12.960 Christian wants to know, "What's the difference between DDR2 and DDR3?" Uh, 00:08:11.440 --> 00:08:17.759 you should definitely look that up on YouTube, Christian. Uh, if you if you 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:20.800 search for DDR2 versus DDR3, I have a video all about 00:08:22.840 --> 00:08:29.680 that. Thomas Thomas Heckler, you know what? Here, we'll put this away for now. 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:34.959 Thomas Heckler wants to know, "What is the best way to clean out CPU fans and 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:38.959 case fans? I have filters in my case, so 00:08:34.959 --> 00:08:42.640 I would suggest checking out the dust 00:08:38.959 --> 00:08:42.640 PC. Let's start. Let's try PC 00:08:42.680 --> 00:08:49.680 dust." Oh. Oh. Oh. Dust 00:08:45.880 --> 00:08:51.760 resistance. Oh. Oh. Oh. Apparently that 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. 00:08:53.839 --> 00:08:57.720 Computer cleaning. 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:04.320 And there it is. 140,000 views. PC 00:09:02.560 --> 00:09:08.560 cleaning tips removing dust bunnies. Maybe if I'd used uh better search terms 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 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 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 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:25.839 exciting for me and of course all of my viewers who are very happy about my 00:09:23.839 --> 00:09:28.800 impending nuptuals. We're not going to give him any more context for that. I'm 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:33.640 just not going to reply to his text anymore, which will be for the walls, of 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:38.880 course, as well. Let's move down. My Little Pony theme song. 00:09:39.800 --> 00:09:47.000 Okay. All right. 18 new interactions. Thoughts on DDR4? Good question. Um, 00:09:44.959 --> 00:09:51.519 DDR4 is probably going to be lower power, higher frequency, and higher 00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:55.839 latency than DDR3. We honestly haven't seen any big um on the desktop anyway. 00:09:54.480 --> 00:10:00.320 We haven't seen any big performance improvements come from upgrading our 00:09:58.160 --> 00:10:07.200 memory technologies since pretty much dual channel DDR2. I mean uh if you go 00:10:03.920 --> 00:10:10.160 back and look at the at the numbers um 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:14.079 back then even especially on platforms with an integrated memory controller. So 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 00:10:16.800 --> 00:10:22.000 that much of a difference in terms of performance because we don't need all 00:10:19.839 --> 00:10:26.880 that memory bandwidth these days. I mean, if you're buying like an X79 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:30.079 platform system, um, you know, for extreme Uber gaming or whatever else, 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:33.839 you might as well get four memory sticks because they're so cheap these days. But 00:10:32.160 --> 00:10:38.160 the actual difference in performance running on an X79 platform between dual 00:10:36.079 --> 00:10:43.760 channel and quad channel is on the order of like singledigit percentages. It's 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.760 not actually that 00:10:43.800 --> 00:10:48.560 huge. All right. Hey Lionus, is it worth 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 00:10:52.800 --> 00:11:02.920 find with the Transformer series, the the keyboard experience on Android is 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:05.279 actually not that uh not that 00:11:02.920 --> 00:11:10.079 satisfactory. It it doesn't feel that clean. I haven't used it with Jelly 00:11:07.760 --> 00:11:15.040 Bean, though. Um and I haven't used it extensively with ice cream sandwich. So, 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:16.800 this is based on the honeycomb days. Uh, 00:11:15.040 --> 00:11:22.240 however, I think we can all assume that a Windows 8 experience with a keyboard 00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:27.040 and mouse is going to be pretty seamless compared to what you might see from its 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:31.519 uh from its competitors. Nikil, a see I always do 00:11:29.920 --> 00:11:36.399 this wrong. This guy right here wants to know, "What are my opinion on Corsair's 00:11:33.760 --> 00:11:42.920 Dominators?" So, Dominators are RAM um available in DDR2 and DDR3 varieties. 00:11:39.760 --> 00:11:45.600 Well, rather that's two and three. 00:11:42.920 --> 00:11:48.320 Um, often times they're faster than other RAM. It doesn't make a huge 00:11:47.040 --> 00:11:53.440 difference to your system performance, but they look outstanding. The new Dominator Platinums, especially with 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:56.480 that like silver bar along the top, makes your system look ballin. And they 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 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. 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:10.160 That's about all for my opinion on dominators, unless you meant some other 00:12:08.959 --> 00:12:15.040 kind of Dominator. I'm assuming you meant Corsair Dominators. 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 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 00:12:22.079 --> 00:12:28.800 high pixel density monitors coming out soon? Actually, I have something very 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 00:12:31.760 --> 00:12:38.480 folder where I archive all this like stuff that I don't know might be 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:45.880 interesting or might not. So, in my pending folder, you can see that we 00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:49.120 have ASUS 00:12:45.880 --> 00:12:50.560 PB278Q showcase coming out on NCIX Tech 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 00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:59.040 check that out. Don't forget to be subscribed to the NCIXCOM channel as 00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:02.320 well as my Linus Tech Tips channel. Otherwise, you won't necessarily see all 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:06.880 of my content because I do upload completely different sets of videos to 00:13:04.160 --> 00:13:10.920 both of those channels. and uh that yeah that that particular monitor is a 27in 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:16.000 monitor with a 2560x440 resolution. No, it's not quite 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 00:13:18.160 --> 00:13:25.040 with some of these new fangled Android tablets such as the Transformer 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:30.320 TF700, but it's still significantly higher than well what we're used to on 00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:33.680 the desktop and is therefore therefore exciting. So, I'm going to move that 00:13:31.839 --> 00:13:37.040 away. I actually have no idea how many people are watching the live stream 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 00:13:38.560 --> 00:13:46.160 I'll look a little bit later. Okay, scrolling down. Oh, okay. We're back to 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 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 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 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 00:14:02.959 --> 00:14:08.480 blocked. Byebye. Thank you for playing. Come again. 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:15.040 Actually, probably don't come again. That would be best. All right. 00:14:12.040 --> 00:14:18.320 What's What's better to use for 120 Hz 00:14:15.040 --> 00:14:23.000 gaming? DisplayPort or dual link DVI? 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:25.920 I'm using a GTX 690 and the BenQ XL 00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:30.480 2420T. Simple answer, totally doesn't matter. They're both completely digital 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:36.560 connections. They're both more than capable of delivering the bandwidth that 00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:40.000 you need for 1920 x 1080120 htz. Um 00:14:36.560 --> 00:14:41.839 DisplayPort is believed to the rumor is 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:46.399 that it has slightly higher latency compared to DVI. So if you don't for 00:14:44.560 --> 00:14:50.480 whatever reason need the smaller connector versus the DVI connector, then 00:14:48.800 --> 00:14:54.519 I guess you might as well go with whatever cable you have lying around. 00:14:53.199 --> 00:14:58.320 Cables make digital. So there's there's there's 00:14:56.800 --> 00:15:03.040 no difference between like an expensive DVI cable and like a like a cheap DVI 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 00:15:06.160 --> 00:15:12.160 talking VGA cables. So with any analog cable, the actual quality of the cable, 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:15.600 the quality of the connector makes a big difference. With digital cables, you'll 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 00:15:18.880 --> 00:15:25.959 a visitor. Come here. You want to come visit 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:31.920 Rocket? Here you guys can see him 00:15:29.079 --> 00:15:36.120 perhaps. Where'd he go? Rocket. There you are. There you are, sweetheart. Say 00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:43.000 hi to everyone. There he 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:45.920 goes. Yeah. Yeah. Saying hi to everyone. 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:50.480 Hey, there you go. They can see you. Okay. Well, that was fun. Rocket joined 00:15:47.839 --> 00:15:55.279 us for for just a moment, then he he had to leave. Bye, Rocket. Okay. Personal 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:59.519 rig updates. No. Oh, no personal rig updates this week. I've been super busy 00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:06.320 this week. David wants to know if I have an NCIX discount. You bet I 00:16:02.040 --> 00:16:06.320 do. It's awesome. By the 00:16:06.839 --> 00:16:12.880 way, uh Kevin says, "Thank you for taking the time to live stream to us, 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:17.600 your loyal fans. Watching you right now. I'm watching you, Kevin." 00:16:15.199 --> 00:16:21.440 No, but seriously, um, thank you guys for watching because if nobody watched, 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:26.560 then I'd be one of those sad people on the internet that actually like like 00:16:24.560 --> 00:16:31.120 this was very sad. I came across this YouTube channel that's been around for 00:16:28.079 --> 00:16:36.279 about five years, like five years. And 00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:39.279 it had like hundreds of videos on it and 00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:41.680 like a hundred subscribers, which at 00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:45.759 that point is basically probably fakes. Like it's it's probably not even real 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:49.600 people. And it just like like all these hours of content that have been created 00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:52.959 and nobody ever watched them. I do feel truly lucky and truly blessed that you 00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:56.880 guys even want to watch me on the internet. So, no. Thank you, Kevin, even 00:16:55.199 --> 00:17:01.480 though I gave you the staredown earlier before and I'm very sorry about 00:16:59.959 --> 00:17:06.319 that. H Vincent wants to know if there's any 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:10.240 news on the rumored Corsair H80i and H100i. I haven't heard anything, but I 00:17:08.959 --> 00:17:14.760 can tell you right now that that sounds pretty exciting because if it's an I, 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:20.640 then it's probably like a new AXI power supply, which is 00:17:19.120 --> 00:17:24.880 awesome and it probably goes with that somehow. So, that would be my entire 00:17:22.959 --> 00:17:31.039 that would be my entire take on on all of that. Oh, random, random, random. You 00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:35.840 just won the fail tweet of the night award because when is NCIX coming to 00:17:33.760 --> 00:17:41.520 Ontario? We are going to go on a little voyage of discovery here on the contact 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:41.520 us page of 00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:52.799 NCIX. Ontario location Missaga Markham other Markham 00:17:49.080 --> 00:17:56.559 Scarboro and a warehouse. Bam. I'm sure 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:58.760 you meant Toronto city but you know 00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:03.360 whatever. The suburbs are basically the same. So you can still go to NCX. You 00:18:01.760 --> 00:18:07.520 just have to like put some effort into it. 00:18:05.080 --> 00:18:10.919 Justin, I've heard using canned air is bad for cleaning your case because of 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:14.160 chemicals or something. Is this true? You know, I probably wouldn't 00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:18.160 worry about it too much. I mean, I wouldn't just like turn it upside down 00:18:15.919 --> 00:18:22.960 and like spray the liquid directly onto everything, but um yeah, I Yeah, I just 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 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 00:18:30.080 --> 00:18:38.320 JJ, Chromebooks are, in my opinion, not 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:40.280 there yet. Now, if the Chromebook had 00:18:38.320 --> 00:18:45.760 apps in much the same way that Android has apps, for example, 00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:48.640 then I might see some more utility to it because not everything runs in a browser 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:54.320 yet. I mean once we see some more consolidation in terms of web standards 00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:55.600 like if flash just goes away which is 00:18:54.320 --> 00:19:00.720 going to take time it's not going to happen instantly then then there might 00:18:57.840 --> 00:19:06.720 be more more possibility of of writing apps that are completely universal and 00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:09.280 will work 100% of the time and uh aside 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:14.080 from aside from the lack of that sort of unified structure to it uh the other 00:19:12.080 --> 00:19:20.400 problem to me is this the requirement for constant connectivity. I mean, for 00:19:17.280 --> 00:19:23.440 me here in the uh in the in the Canadian 00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:25.280 ghetto, um it's still expensive for data 00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:30.240 for for my device. And then if I have multiple devices, then I'm paying for 00:19:27.600 --> 00:19:33.600 multiple data connections, which um again gets sort of more expensive. I 00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:37.039 mean, you can bundle things together, but yeah, the idea of having a device 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 00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:44.960 connection is not that appealing to me 00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:48.240 personally. But in places like Japan or places where the population density and 00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:54.720 the IT infrastructure is much better then it might be better. Uh Justin wants 00:19:51.520 --> 00:19:57.520 to know FX6200 or 8150 for gaming. 00:19:54.720 --> 00:20:02.240 Justin I would suggest that you consider an alternate platform if gaming 00:19:59.840 --> 00:20:07.200 performance is your only consideration. I did do a review of the 8150 when it 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 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. 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 00:20:22.280 --> 00:20:29.799 Okay. Yeah, Slick sent me a follow-up message. You know, one of those big O, 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:34.799 you know, period, small O things. He's like, I'm not going to reply though, 00:20:31.840 --> 00:20:42.240 just for lols. It'll be funny, right? Okay, let's search for um FX 00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:46.159 8150. It helps if you type for Oh, that 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:48.039 change. Right. Whoopsy daisies. 8150. 00:20:46.159 --> 00:20:52.240 Let's try my other number pad. All right. Hey, there we go. 00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:56.480 Unboxing and first look has really that one has 240,000 views. Go figure. And 00:20:54.720 --> 00:21:02.159 there's the uh there's the gaming benchmarks versus the 2500K, which is a 00:20:59.679 --> 00:21:07.039 pretty pretty last generation processor there, guys. So, let's go ahead and 00:21:05.360 --> 00:21:11.440 Yeah, my power line internet's really slow. I think in this one I just showed 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 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 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. 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 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:34.960 to our right here, we can see that the 00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:36.480 8150 gets um hold on minmax average oh 00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:42.320 was actually very similar across the board to a 2500 00:21:39.080 --> 00:21:44.559 K. Well, okay then. Okay, so that's a 00:21:42.320 --> 00:21:50.000 last generation Intel CPU. Since games don't really take that much advantage of 00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:51.200 here, how many cores for gaming? Since 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 00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:59.120 faster than that. Although, it should be noted, see how many CPU cores is enough 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? 00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:11.280 Ah, yes, my legendary bottleneck video. 00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:13.679 Let's see. Let's see how. Yeah, right there. You search for bottleneck right 00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:19.679 there. Understanding hardware bottlenecks and how to avoid them. If you have your graphics details turned 00:22:17.280 --> 00:22:22.880 up, which you should if you're running a decent machine with a decent graphics 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 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 00:22:31.600 --> 00:22:36.320 you're going to be GPU limited anyway once you turn the details up. And 00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:39.679 bottlenecks are not necessarily a bad thing. Every single system is 00:22:38.159 --> 00:22:43.440 bottlenecked. I have so many people ask me, will this part bottleneck this part? 00:22:41.760 --> 00:22:48.000 And it's not that simple. Watch the video. Watch the video right there. 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:51.360 Watch that video later. Bookmark it now. Just do it now. Watch that video later 00:22:49.760 --> 00:22:55.200 and hopefully you'll understand it a little bit better. But any given 00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:58.640 hardware configuration, let's say CPU A and video card B. Depending on the 00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:03.440 settings I'm running, the CPU is the bottleneck or the GPU is the bottleneck. 00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:08.080 It It's not just as simple as, well, this thing bottlenecks this thing. And 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 00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:16.400 hardware more than anything else. Do you like cheese? What is this 00:23:13.840 --> 00:23:20.720 cheese meme? You know, I actually I just watched um Gangnan Style or whatever 00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:26.720 that video is called. Yesterday was my first exposure to this. And uh honestly, 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 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 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 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 00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:46.640 entertaining because he's like riding a horse, but 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 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 00:23:53.600 --> 00:24:01.360 this. AJ right there wants to know if he 00:23:57.360 --> 00:24:03.120 should with his X 109 and 6970 upgrade 00:24:01.360 --> 00:24:06.480 now or wait for nextG stuff. My performance in games is average to low. 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 00:24:09.919 --> 00:24:16.080 little bit I mean it's not even bad. I 00:24:13.679 --> 00:24:20.960 And your CPU too like the 1090T is actually not really slower than the 00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:24.320 current generation bulldozer stuff as as long as I mean that's a black edition so 00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:27.440 you better be overclocking it. Um and the same with the 6970. It's a good 00:24:25.919 --> 00:24:30.320 overclocker if you haven't already done so. Maybe overclock your hardware and 00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:36.799 see if it lasts you a little bit longer because that's still pretty modern stuff. 00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:42.000 Um, canon tow, what do you make of individually sleeved cables? I like 00:24:40.159 --> 00:24:47.400 individually sleeved cables. However, I think they can look a little bit busy. 00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:50.240 Um, cable sleeving 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 00:24:53.360 --> 00:24:59.520 personal rig update series of videos, which I started like a bajillion years 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 00:25:01.360 --> 00:25:09.520 now, and I'm still nowhere near finishing my uh my system. But what I 00:25:05.840 --> 00:25:12.720 decided to do was take two wires and put 00:25:09.520 --> 00:25:14.480 one sleeve over them for a slightly You 00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:19.919 know what? This one actually here, let's try personal rig. Linus. Let's find one 00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:24.720 where I can actually show you what the cables look like. So, part two, three, 00:25:21.919 --> 00:25:29.279 four, five, seven. Test fitting and sleeving progress. More up. Yeah, there 00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:32.480 we go. Sleeving progress. So, if you check this one out, part seven has some 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 00:25:35.360 --> 00:25:41.760 sleeving with two wires per per sleeve. And then I think the end of this one 00:25:39.919 --> 00:25:46.440 actually, nope, doesn't have anything else in it. There's one that has has my 00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:50.559 baby in it. I think it's part eight. Lorenzo DK wants to know, "What 00:25:49.120 --> 00:25:55.679 is the possibility of water cooling leaking?" If you puncture it with 00:25:52.880 --> 00:26:00.000 something, it will leak. I mean, it's water. Um, if you mean if you're 00:25:57.919 --> 00:26:03.919 diligent and careful and build water cooling, you know, as well as you can, 00:26:01.840 --> 00:26:07.760 the odds are actually very, very low. I mean, when we're talking custom water 00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:11.440 cooling, guys like Swift EK, those those guys are pressure testing their 00:26:09.919 --> 00:26:16.159 components before they ship them to an end user. Every single one gets pressure 00:26:13.600 --> 00:26:19.840 tested up to however many PSI, which is many times more than you will ever 00:26:17.760 --> 00:26:26.480 encounter in a PC water cooled system. So, the the odds of those parts leaking, 00:26:23.120 --> 00:26:28.159 not so much. And really, a leak on a 00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:32.159 live system should never happen because you should always have leak tested the 00:26:30.080 --> 00:26:35.440 entire loop with the system not powered on first. There's lots of guides on the 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, 00:26:37.520 --> 00:26:44.320 here, there. Do I have a computer making 00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:46.400 video? Asks Jake Bob. Jake Bob, I would 00:26:44.320 --> 00:26:56.799 suggest that I have the best computer making video. Um, here PC build 00:26:52.600 --> 00:26:58.120 guide right there. Top hit under the 00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:03.159 advertised video. Number one above PC Whiz Kid, who 00:27:01.840 --> 00:27:07.760 I also like, but that's only part one of his 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 00:27:09.600 --> 00:27:15.600 radar. Look at these guys. They got a million views for that. How to build a 00:27:13.600 --> 00:27:20.400 computer, choosing your components. That's outstanding. Here's part two. 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 00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:29.200 PC. The ultimate guide from Tech Syndicate. That's uh good old Logan the 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, 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 00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:39.760 than an O. David wants to know what I think 00:27:38.320 --> 00:27:43.760 about Hackintoshing. I still haven't done it yet. I keep I keep telling 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. 00:27:46.360 --> 00:27:51.679 Um, I think it's awesome. I think it's I 00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:55.360 think dual booting a Windows and OS 10 environment is probably the best 00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:59.440 compromise. So, if I was going to get a notebook tomorrow, I'd probably get some 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 00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:07.039 on the MacBook and OS 10, but it's a beautiful notebook. Um, but for the 00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:10.960 desktop, it's yeah, it really doesn't make sense because the price to 00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:15.760 performance and the component selection is just not there on the Apple machine. 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 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 00:28:23.679 --> 00:28:32.720 understanding is the new Final Cut isn't that sort of fantastic. 00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:36.320 Um, aha, iOS 6, did you download it? I 00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:38.159 have not. I am still using iOS 5.1.1. 00:28:36.320 --> 00:28:43.799 Uh, with all the horror stories about the maps, I'm a little bit terrified to 00:28:41.360 --> 00:28:50.880 uh to try to try iOS. 00:28:46.679 --> 00:28:53.200 Um, oh, so disappointing. It looks like 00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:58.799 cameraman might not be able to join us tonight for our live iPhone 5 unboxing. 00:28:55.679 --> 00:29:00.320 Although, if we end up doing it, then 00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:04.720 you know what? If he arrives here tonight at some point, I promise you 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 00:29:06.320 --> 00:29:12.480 YouTube video announcing this. So, you guys are going to have to just subscribe 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 00:29:14.159 --> 00:29:19.279 going to be very exciting. I promise not to rip on it too hard, 00:29:21.080 --> 00:29:26.480 though. Francisco wants to know Windows 8 versus Windows 7. You know what? I 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 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 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 00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:45.360 input. I would suggest to you, Alex, that those are both last generation 00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:49.120 processors. Um, and given the parody in pricing between a 2600K and a 2700K, you 00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:53.679 probably shouldn't be looking at the 2600K in the first place. And with the 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 00:29:55.919 --> 00:30:02.039 a 3770K and is definitely faster than that 3820. 00:30:04.080 --> 00:30:08.799 When will 1440p TVs and monitors be 00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:12.159 available as a standard resolution? Question from Nathan. Nathan, I would 00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:17.440 suggest that they will never be a standard resolution much the same way 00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:20.080 that um well, lots of resolutions were 00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:23.760 never really a standard resolution. Um we're going to move straight to 4K would 00:30:22.080 --> 00:30:28.480 be my guess. I mean, you can see everyone's working on um denser. They 00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:32.240 say, "I keep holding up the iPhone tonight, you know, because it's pixel 00:30:30.320 --> 00:30:36.720 density." Uh, everyone's working on pixel density. Everyone wants higher 00:30:34.159 --> 00:30:40.000 resolution, but when it comes to broadcast standards, they don't like 00:30:38.320 --> 00:30:43.520 changing that often, and they don't like just sort of willy-nilly shifting things 00:30:41.919 --> 00:30:48.720 around. It's not like the PC where we can just have some resolution because we 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 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 00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:04.440 asking me how much they cost. Come on, man. You just are the runner up for 00:31:01.159 --> 00:31:06.960 Whoops. There you go. More light. for 00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:13.080 bogus. How could I possibly know? They'll cost as much as No, they'll 00:31:10.360 --> 00:31:19.840 cost 4K dollars. I don't know, man. I know 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 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 00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:32.559 couple weeks. Uh got a shopping list at 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 00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:39.840 FS100 with uh with a lens and with 00:31:37.679 --> 00:31:42.799 tripod and with some new lights which are hopefully going to make me not look 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 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. 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 00:31:55.919 --> 00:32:02.240 screen and stuff. So, what can we 00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:05.679 do? Uh, George wants to know if there was a water block for the Extreme 11, 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 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:14.080 wouldn't because I'm done with the Extreme 11. Um, I honestly the 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 00:32:18.080 --> 00:32:25.200 are installed on it. um will give you a higher number in 00:32:22.399 --> 00:32:29.600 terms of the bandwidth readout in GPUZ, but it won't actually improve your 00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:33.279 performance. I know I've just shattered your perception of reality. Um more 00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:36.880 bandwidth is not always better, especially if it adds latency. So, the 00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:41.600 only reason I was considering the Extreme 11 was um because I hoped it 00:32:40.159 --> 00:32:45.360 wouldn't coil wine and it looked outstanding. It's just like an awesome 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 00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:54.240 block for a board that really for me doesn't have any advantages over the 00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:56.880 X79 SUP5 that I ended up settling on. 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? 00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:07.360 Actually SAS has different features than SATA. It does have um it's more RAID 00:33:05.120 --> 00:33:12.159 friendly. I believe you can run longer cable runs. 00:33:09.159 --> 00:33:13.360 Um SATA supports breakouts as well. So 00:33:12.159 --> 00:33:17.039 it's not just SAS that supports breakouts. I mean SAS tends to get 00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:21.519 better features earlier than SATA. So SAS had NCQ before SATA did. So there 00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:27.039 you go. No, they are different standards. Remember guys, SAS 00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:31.320 controllers will work with SATA drives, but SATA controllers will not work with 00:33:29.120 --> 00:33:35.679 SAS drives. Okay. Emanuel wants to know how old my 00:33:33.760 --> 00:33:39.919 cats are. They're going to be three years old this December 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. 00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:50.120 Yeah. Rumble. Rumble. Come 00:33:48.360 --> 00:33:53.120 here. Kitty. 00:33:53.159 --> 00:33:59.519 Rumble. Usually he comes when I call. Hey, 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 00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:10.079 staredown. See, there he is. Hey, come 00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:12.800 here. Come on. 00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:15.919 So, not interested. Nope. Nope. We're not getting any special guests tonight. 00:34:14.240 --> 00:34:21.639 I know. I promised special guests and then I did not deliver. I'm sorry for 00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:25.440 that. Brian wants to know, "Is it frustrating when people constantly ask 00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:29.679 you questions you've answered in your videos?" Actually, no. It's okay because 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 00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:41.200 click video where I explain for five or 10 minutes the answer to a a complicated 00:34:38.200 --> 00:34:41.200 question. 00:34:41.240 --> 00:34:47.919 Um yeah, no, if anything, it's more convenient. Tuon wants to know, how is 00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:50.879 your massive RAID fix with your Seagate 3 terabytes? Any problems with dropping 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. 00:34:54.079 --> 00:35:01.200 Things are going fine. and uh and and they're and they're 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 00:35:03.839 --> 00:35:09.440 all my stuff stored on it. Adam B right 00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:12.240 there wants to know, did you hear about more Thailand floods coming? Do you 00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:17.440 think this will affect hard drive prices again? If the manufacturing facilities 00:35:14.560 --> 00:35:20.560 flood, then yes, prices will be affected again. However, my understanding is 00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:26.320 Thailand floods on a fairly regular basis. Um, but that was just sort of 00:35:23.200 --> 00:35:28.720 very extreme and all the manufacturing 00:35:26.320 --> 00:35:32.520 facilities were on like one flood plane. So, so hopefully we won't see a repeat 00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:37.839 of that again. And we are all the way down to 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 00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:49.359 have a look at the 307 new interactions that I don't stand 00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:52.400 a freaking chance of getting to entirely 00:35:49.359 --> 00:35:54.760 here. Um, I am curious how many people 00:35:52.400 --> 00:36:01.839 are watching tonight. 1,400 people. And guess what? I 00:35:59.680 --> 00:36:05.920 did find where I already where I had the Twitch stream open before, which might 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 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 00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:18.680 again? Just tell me once. 00:36:20.560 --> 00:36:23.760 Do we have an echo 00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:30.000 again? No. Excellent. How is the sound 00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:40.800 quality? Bad. Yes. No. No. Pretty good. 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 00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:50.560 uh I can't I can't I can't understand 00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:50.560 anything you guys are saying 00:36:52.839 --> 00:36:59.680 here. Okay. Medium fine fair. 00:36:57.160 --> 00:37:01.839 Okay. Someone wants to know if he can be a 00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:12.800 mod. Okay. Well, back to Twitter. 00:37:09.200 --> 00:37:12.800 to 344 new 00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:22.400 interactions. Oh, uh oh, that'll be a problem. There we go. That's that 00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:23.960 Windows uh arrow shake feature. That's 00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:27.720 uh that's amazing. 00:37:25.560 --> 00:37:32.240 Okay, Twitter questions. Good quality. What's your 00:37:29.839 --> 00:37:35.280 opinion on jet skis? Uh jet skis are awesome. And anyone who doesn't think 00:37:33.680 --> 00:37:39.040 they're awesome doesn't know what they're talking about at all because jet 00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:44.480 skis are amazing. I've only actually really been on a jet ski myself a few 00:37:41.599 --> 00:37:50.079 times. Uh because here in Vancouver, the water is pretty cold. So, it's 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 00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:57.040 Mexico a few years back, I uh I spent a 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 00:37:58.720 --> 00:38:05.599 staying. And uh yes, it was a blast, especially when the water's not cold. 00:38:03.839 --> 00:38:08.560 Okay, Paul wants to know full screen versus windowed benefits and what 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 00:38:11.280 --> 00:38:17.680 depends on the individual application. Full screen will always be consistent, 00:38:15.520 --> 00:38:22.640 but Windows might run fine with some things and might run totally rubbish 00:38:19.359 --> 00:38:24.079 with other things. So, um I personally 00:38:22.640 --> 00:38:27.520 have never really understood the appeal of running things in window mode because 00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:31.839 then you got like frames around it. I find it detracts from the 00:38:29.160 --> 00:38:34.960 immersiveness. But hey, to to to each their own. Someone wants to 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 00:38:40.240 --> 00:38:46.320 with my old LG75 processor and motherboard?" Steve, I would suggest to 00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:50.560 you that you can do any number of things. You can build yourself a storage 00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:55.280 server using like a Windows home server. You can uh you can build yourself a 00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:59.040 router using psfense. Um, you know, and throw a couple like network cards in 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 00:39:00.640 --> 00:39:08.079 away to charity. You know, lots of lots of charitable or getting donations of 00:39:05.359 --> 00:39:10.720 old computers. So, um there few suggestions for 00:39:10.839 --> 00:39:16.160 you. When wants to know, why don't I use 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 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 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 00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:35.839 needing a clean HDMI feed out from the camera because we're going to be using 00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:40.000 some HDMI capture cards and stuff like that. And so it should be uh should be 00:39:38.160 --> 00:39:44.800 pretty pretty good news bears as far as the quality of our overall operation 00:39:42.160 --> 00:39:51.760 here. But a DSLR really just isn't going to do it for 00:39:46.680 --> 00:39:53.800 us. Uh DJ I did it again. TJ wants to 00:39:51.760 --> 00:40:01.400 know, "What are the 2420T and the TX the Oh, wait. And 00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:04.240 the 2410T, what are the major 00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:07.280 differences?" Never ever type duh in the place of the I'm not answering your 00:40:05.680 --> 00:40:10.920 question. You can retype it and maybe we'll get to it 00:40:08.680 --> 00:40:15.359 later. The differences. Um, does my baby play with 00:40:13.200 --> 00:40:18.720 the cats? He's still a little young. Um, he's 00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:21.920 correct. When do I think 3D monitors will 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 00:40:25.839 --> 00:40:32.800 or may not become more popular. It really depends on what people think of 00:40:29.520 --> 00:40:35.560 any of the uh the advances that get made 00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:39.200 in the whole 3D technology thing. Oh, hold 00:40:40.760 --> 00:40:46.079 on. Okay. 00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:53.119 having a little bit of uh trouble with the 00:40:49.720 --> 00:40:53.119 whole Twitch 00:40:53.400 --> 00:41:00.880 stream with some people who are being inappropriate and apparently the sound's 00:40:57.760 --> 00:41:04.040 cutting out now. Brilliant. Okay, hold 00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:08.760 on a second. I have I have one 00:41:04.040 --> 00:41:12.760 idea. Oh, someone says Mike 00:41:08.760 --> 00:41:12.760 is Okay. 00:41:13.720 --> 00:41:21.119 And let's turn off 00:41:17.720 --> 00:41:23.200 the let's turn off this feature here in 00:41:21.119 --> 00:41:27.520 the Thunder FX settings. So, if you guys haven't used a Thunder effects card 00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:31.520 before, I'll show you how the control panel 00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:37.440 works by hopefully putting this over here, which apparently Oh, look at that. 00:41:33.280 --> 00:41:40.560 That's bizarre. It doesn't work at all. 00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:40.560 It actually doesn't show 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 00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:49.160 to try turning off the environmental noise cancelling. So, you guys will have 00:41:47.520 --> 00:41:55.760 to let me know if that's a little bit better. And 00:41:52.200 --> 00:41:56.760 hopefully uh hold on. I'm going to set a 00:41:55.760 --> 00:42:03.040 couple of moderators in the 00:41:59.520 --> 00:42:06.040 uh in the chat because this is pretty 00:42:03.040 --> 00:42:06.040 annoying. 00:42:07.520 --> 00:42:11.920 Okay, it says audio is cutting out. Well, that's massively improvement. Oh, 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 00:42:15.359 --> 00:42:21.440 noise cancelling feature was actually like worlds better than when I didn't 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 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 00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:35.920 tips. Am I excited for the new Haswells? I'm actually extremely excited for 00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:39.599 Intel's upcoming architecture. I hope that it's more of a difference over the 00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:44.560 previous generation than Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge was. Um I'm a little bit sort 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 00:42:45.839 --> 00:42:52.960 with Ivy Bridge where the tininess of the transistors means that they run hot 00:42:50.640 --> 00:42:56.319 again, but h you know maybe in that time Intel's made some some big advancements 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 00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:06.400 out. And uh right now I know absolutely nothing more about it that any of you 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 00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:20.000 rumors. So maybe you can tell us all more about it. At some point in these 00:43:17.319 --> 00:43:24.240 live, people can actually call in like kind of like a radio show. I think 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 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 00:43:30.560 --> 00:43:36.720 people would be able to like Skype in or something like that and uh and that 00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:44.359 would be that would be actually really really neat and people 00:43:40.359 --> 00:43:47.040 say coming cutting out 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 00:43:48.960 --> 00:43:51.200 be the 00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:58.960 headset we will figure this out at some point someone's asking how to Find my 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. 00:44:01.040 --> 00:44:06.440 Hey, get down. Thank you. All right, 00:44:04.560 --> 00:44:12.800 let's go back to some Twitter questions here. Does the GTX 660 have better 00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:14.160 performance than the GTX 570? Um, I 00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:17.520 don't know. Actually, I haven't I haven't tested them head-to-head. Um, 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 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 00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:31.839 hardware connects and antec are good 00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:37.839 ones can see performance of video cards and CPUs and various things like that. 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 00:44:41.359 --> 00:44:46.480 for gaming. Both would be cool by an H100. They're pretty similar, especially 00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:51.280 if you're overclocking. The 3770K getting my personal pick because I do a 00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:54.920 lot of video transcoding and the onboard graphics is much better for that versus 00:44:53.040 --> 00:44:58.400 the 2600 K. 00:44:56.440 --> 00:45:01.440 Sean, since you've decided on the Gigabyte board for your rig, what's the 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 00:45:03.280 --> 00:45:12.640 actually stressing me out a lot because I have to cut up my Silverstone TJ7, 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 00:45:14.720 --> 00:45:20.880 cut some cable management holes in the motherboard tray as well as where I want 00:45:18.800 --> 00:45:25.119 to cut some other cable management holes throughout the rest of the case. I don't 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 00:45:26.800 --> 00:45:32.800 imagination, so I'm a little bit worried about lining something up wrong or 00:45:31.040 --> 00:45:36.560 cutting a line that's supposed to be straight and level and kind of looks 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, 00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:46.800 so a little bit, but it's still still making me very 00:45:44.720 --> 00:45:50.240 nervous. Which leads us to Matthew's. Oh, man. Matthew's question. What is 00:45:48.720 --> 00:45:54.400 your favorite case? My favorite case is the Silverstone TJ7 with some of my 00:45:52.720 --> 00:46:00.839 other honorable mentions being the Fractal Design Define R3, the Corsair 00:45:56.960 --> 00:46:02.960 650D, the 800D. Um, Antex P280 is also 00:46:00.839 --> 00:46:07.599 outstanding. So, those are some of my favorite cases. 00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:12.160 Um, the Corsair 300R is a great value considering the price and how good it 00:46:09.240 --> 00:46:16.640 looks. Daniel is upset that he bought a Thunderbolt cable and didn't gain any 00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:21.280 superpowers. Daniel, you must have cheaped out. You must not have bought 00:46:18.240 --> 00:46:23.520 the $50 Thunderbolt cable. So, that's 00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:27.040 probably the problem. Go buy yourself a more expensive Thunderbolt cable and 00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:29.520 then you shouldn't really have any trouble with 00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:34.760 that. Do my cats swim? Not if they have 00:46:33.760 --> 00:46:40.040 a choice. Just like uh just like most cats 00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:43.040 don't swim if they if they have a choice. 00:46:45.560 --> 00:46:54.800 Uh okay, moving right along. 00:46:51.720 --> 00:46:57.839 Chris, right there. Are there any NVIDIA 00:46:54.800 --> 00:47:01.359 3D Vision 2 with light boost technology 00:46:57.839 --> 00:47:03.520 monitors that don't have TN panels? 00:47:01.359 --> 00:47:09.520 Great question, Chris. And the answer is no for a couple of reasons. So monitor 00:47:06.119 --> 00:47:11.359 technology is kind of um is not 00:47:09.520 --> 00:47:16.040 advancing that fast in terms of the speed of the of the pixel changing which 00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:20.800 is which is ultimately what is drawing us what is holding us back and people 00:47:18.720 --> 00:47:25.160 are still complaining about the mic. I don't know what to do about the mic 00:47:22.319 --> 00:47:30.880 guys. So sorry. Um so that is still the bottleneck for us 00:47:28.480 --> 00:47:33.920 is how fast we can switch the pixels. Now there's a lot of 00:47:34.079 --> 00:47:41.839 tom foolery that can go on to enable the panels to switch faster. So TN for 00:47:38.720 --> 00:47:46.079 example is a faster panel technology 00:47:41.839 --> 00:47:49.680 than IPS or MVA or PVA or PLS. It's the 00:47:46.079 --> 00:47:51.520 fastest one by far, but it compromises 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 00:47:53.680 --> 00:48:03.680 here your your PLS panel, which is my personal favorite, is kind of like 00:47:59.960 --> 00:48:07.119 um, you know, a sniper rifle where, you 00:48:03.680 --> 00:48:09.280 know, it's like slow to reload and, you 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 00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:18.319 more like a, you know, like a machine gun or something. So, speed versus 00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:22.000 accuracy. So the PLS panel or or any of the other technologies are going to give 00:48:19.599 --> 00:48:26.680 you better color accuracy, better color depth. 00:48:23.480 --> 00:48:29.359 Um generally generally an overall better 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 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 00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:42.880 Hz panels that are u validated for 3D 00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:46.200 are TN. Even those panels that people are buying from Korea, they're buying 00:48:44.319 --> 00:48:50.160 from overseas, those cheap 2560x440 27inch monitors, the cat leaps 00:48:48.880 --> 00:48:54.400 and the like that everyone's kind of into, right? 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 00:48:57.400 --> 00:49:02.400 second in terms of motion blur, which is 00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:05.760 when you're actually changing, for example, from a dark background to a 00:49:04.079 --> 00:49:10.960 light background, like with my finger and the and the window here, you will 00:49:07.760 --> 00:49:12.960 see the pixel having to change. Even 00:49:10.960 --> 00:49:17.119 though with a static image, it might be sending a signal to itself 120 times a 00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:23.119 second. So, I hope that makes sense to you guys. 00:49:19.880 --> 00:49:26.720 no else would validate 00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:28.880 um a nonTN panel for 3D because when the 00:49:26.720 --> 00:49:33.040 pixels are shifting so that they show you the right or the left eye back and 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 00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:40.160 fast enough so it would never get certified at least not the way it is now 00:49:38.400 --> 00:49:44.480 OLED on the other hand might be a different story once those get bigger 00:49:41.760 --> 00:49:48.400 and a little bit more uh more mainstream I mean personally I'm super disappointed 00:49:46.480 --> 00:49:52.760 that we never saw SED see the light of day. That was Canon's display technology 00:49:50.160 --> 00:49:59.040 they were working on and it just disappeared. Um, another really good 00:49:55.640 --> 00:50:02.319 solution is a DLP projector because DLP 00:49:59.040 --> 00:50:04.240 is again much faster for switching um in 00:50:02.319 --> 00:50:12.240 terms of the not the refresh rate but the response times than uh LCD 00:50:08.200 --> 00:50:14.160 is. Good question Chris. Thank you for 00:50:12.240 --> 00:50:21.920 bringing that question to us. Ruben wants to know, "Ozar ozar ocezzex 3 or 4 00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:23.839 versus Intel 330." Um, I'd probably go 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 00:50:25.680 --> 00:50:32.559 choice. Intel 330 is uh it's it's a lowerend it's a lower-end 00:50:30.640 --> 00:50:37.440 product, but it's Intel, so it's like it's fine. It's reliable. Sebastian, 00:50:35.520 --> 00:50:40.480 what is the model of your Snap-On screwdriver? I don't know. It's their 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 00:50:44.760 --> 00:50:51.440 Snap-On ratcheting 00:50:48.280 --> 00:50:55.280 screwdriver. See if it comes up based on 00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:56.200 the magic that is Google. There it is. 00:50:55.280 --> 00:51:02.800 There's one. Uhhuh. Uhhuh. There's an orange one 00:50:59.520 --> 00:51:05.280 just like mine on the eBays. There's a 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 00:51:08.319 --> 00:51:15.839 need to collect them all. This is like Pokemon for like Snap-On screwdrivers. 00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:20.160 I'm geeking out over here. Are these all different colors? No, they couldn't be. 00:51:18.640 --> 00:51:25.680 No. No. There's a handful of orange ones. There's some multiple black ones. 00:51:23.680 --> 00:51:29.359 That is awesome. So, here's something you guys probably don't know. Each of 00:51:27.119 --> 00:51:34.640 those screwdrivers costs about 80 to 100 bucks. So, that's actually like in terms 00:51:32.319 --> 00:51:38.559 of sheer dollar value like a sexier picture than like two GTX 690s next to 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 00:51:40.319 --> 00:51:46.720 tools, which some people might be, 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 00:51:48.880 --> 00:51:54.720 testing? Crisis 3 probably. I mean, U said that Yurly or however, I don't know 00:51:53.280 --> 00:51:59.599 how you pronounce his name, but the the Cryc guy basically came out and said, 00:51:57.119 --> 00:52:03.839 "We are going to pone PCs with our upcoming version of Cry Engine." And I 00:52:01.440 --> 00:52:09.839 am personally very excited to see them try because every time we have a game 00:52:07.200 --> 00:52:13.720 dev actually properly utilize the PC hardware, we end up with a game that 00:52:11.119 --> 00:52:18.640 looks awesome and uh and has makes us feel a little bit better 00:52:16.559 --> 00:52:22.960 about the money and the time that we've invested into using this PC platform for 00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:26.480 gaming rather than, you know, popping a disc in the drive and like sitting slack 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 00:52:28.640 --> 00:52:35.440 as satisfying for everyone. And I mean, satisfying for some people, I'm sure. 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 00:52:37.359 --> 00:52:45.000 have a totally unbiased and not at all, 00:52:40.720 --> 00:52:48.640 you know, PC glorifying PC versus 00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:51.200 Xbox video about this kind of a topic. 00:52:48.640 --> 00:52:55.040 Oh, there we are. There we are. By NCIX. Um although this guy right here is 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. 00:52:57.800 --> 00:53:07.119 Um, PC rules. Justin, I want an ASUS TF700T. My 00:53:04.640 --> 00:53:13.079 girlfriend wants the new iPad. Which would you choose? We both already have 00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:16.640 iPhone 4s. Fascinating question, Justin. 00:53:13.079 --> 00:53:18.559 Um, hard to say. I actually don't really 00:53:16.640 --> 00:53:22.720 like the Gen 3 iPad for a couple of reasons. Number one is it is noticeably 00:53:21.119 --> 00:53:26.640 heavier than iPad 2. Anyone who tells you it's not is doesn't know because 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 00:53:29.040 --> 00:53:33.760 iPad 2 on a daily basis. Um so it is 00:53:32.160 --> 00:53:37.599 heavier. The thing that really bothers me about it though is it runs warmer. So 00:53:35.520 --> 00:53:41.359 if you're using it without an insulating case, like kind of a thicker case, you 00:53:39.680 --> 00:53:44.400 will notice it gets warm in your hands to the point where your fingers will 00:53:42.800 --> 00:53:51.440 probably sweat and it like you won't be comfortable. Um, TF700T doesn't run 100% 00:53:48.960 --> 00:53:56.000 super cool either, but it was cooler than iPad 3 from my from my time with 00:53:53.680 --> 00:53:59.359 it. Um, however, the Android platform isn't for everyone. If you're used to 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 00:54:01.200 --> 00:54:08.000 want them, then you might find that you're better off going with uh going 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 00:54:10.720 --> 00:54:17.680 looking for one of the new generation iPads. Actually, Anantech did a 00:54:15.520 --> 00:54:22.960 fantastic article about this. One of the new generation iPads using the smaller 00:54:20.480 --> 00:54:28.079 process technology that enables it to have better battery life, like just way 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, 00:54:31.200 --> 00:54:39.319 I hold on iPad uh two. 00:54:35.480 --> 00:54:41.920 Oh, right. iPad 2 and 00:54:39.319 --> 00:54:46.800 tech. I keep forgetting which keys I'm using for the uh for the switching. Ah, 00:54:44.400 --> 00:54:50.240 yes, this one. 32 nanometer brings better battery life. So, let's let's 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 00:54:52.240 --> 00:54:58.400 should definitely uh definitely check out an Nantech because it's like best. 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 00:55:01.920 --> 00:55:07.599 we go. iPad 2.4 gets 11.7 hours of 00:55:05.520 --> 00:55:14.720 battery life. iPad 2, which is orange, gets 10.1. iPad third generation is all 00:55:10.880 --> 00:55:19.119 the way down here to 9.25. So that means 00:55:14.720 --> 00:55:22.319 a difference of more than two hours of 00:55:19.119 --> 00:55:23.920 battery life between So okay, you got 00:55:22.319 --> 00:55:27.800 your high resolution screen. Good for you. I'll be using my device for 2 hours 00:55:25.839 --> 00:55:31.760 longer than you between charges. Comes down to personal 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 00:55:33.440 --> 00:55:38.960 resolution screen in a slightly thinner form factor with longer battery life, 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 00:55:42.119 --> 00:55:48.839 one. Shane wants to know, is the 660Ti 00:55:45.200 --> 00:55:53.599 good graphics card comparable AMD 00:55:48.839 --> 00:55:53.599 cards? YouTube is full of awesome 00:55:54.359 --> 00:56:02.960 information like this 00:55:57.559 --> 00:56:03.960 GTX 660 Ti review. 00:56:02.960 --> 00:56:10.559 And there's me. And there's me. And there's me 00:56:07.559 --> 00:56:13.040 again. And there's everyone else. So go 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 00:56:14.480 --> 00:56:21.799 comparable AMD graphics cards? Because they're all in there. Austin says, "I 00:56:19.119 --> 00:56:26.319 live in Vancouver, too. I want to ask you high school." Okay, this this kind 00:56:24.960 --> 00:56:29.680 of thing won't be tolerated. If you spell school like that and if you spell 00:56:28.000 --> 00:56:35.200 you like that, then I'm not answering your questions. Brian, when is the last 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 00:56:38.960 --> 00:56:46.720 last time I went to a land was uh probably Kaplan a few years ago. Maybe 00:56:44.240 --> 00:56:49.680 Sitoan land a couple years ago. Like there there was a time when I was kind 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 00:56:52.480 --> 00:56:58.640 whatever iteration of Lancouver, Lower Mainland, Van Land, whatever they were 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 00:57:00.559 --> 00:57:05.960 games, especially now, and so it's just 00:57:03.599 --> 00:57:12.240 been hard to justify. Okay, let's see if there's any 00:57:08.960 --> 00:57:14.559 new questions here. Ah, William, I am 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 00:57:16.000 --> 00:57:22.160 Brandon size. Thanks for reading. Oh, he only wanted me to read it. Moving right 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, 00:57:24.720 --> 00:57:29.119 you should buy the size that you need and the size that you can afford. I 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 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 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." 00:57:40.000 --> 00:57:45.799 Well, then get the smallest one you can. or if it's like I'm 00:57:43.720 --> 00:57:50.359 gonna like gigantic like 3D models of swimming 00:57:48.799 --> 00:57:55.520 pools um or something, I don't know, then you 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. 00:57:57.599 --> 00:58:03.400 And as for the best brand, I mean, there's lots of good 00:58:01.240 --> 00:58:09.040 brands. Intel, OCZ, these are all good choices. 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 00:58:11.920 --> 00:58:18.400 performance thing. And there are people who would disagree with me. You know, 00:58:15.760 --> 00:58:21.599 notably my favorite SSD reviewer, who's the guy over at Hardware Connects. He 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 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 00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:37.599 be such an enormous upgrade that it's totally doesn't even matter what they 00:58:34.319 --> 00:58:40.160 choose. Pick any SSD. Find a modern SSD, 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 00:58:42.000 --> 00:58:49.839 able to tell the difference. I mean, if you go back to SSD versus hard drive, 00:58:46.640 --> 00:58:51.599 which is a video I did a long time ago, 00:58:49.839 --> 00:58:57.760 this one right here with the legendary lizard hat, I show realworld demos like alt 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 00:58:59.520 --> 00:59:06.799 long time. I'm finally getting around to it. This is SSD versus hard drive. So, 00:59:04.240 --> 00:59:10.319 without going any further, Vertex, uh, what was this? SSD. I'm going to alt tab 00:59:08.799 --> 00:59:14.079 out of the game. Boom, you're at your desktop. I pressed Alt Tab at exactly 00:59:12.640 --> 00:59:17.920 the same time on that hard drive machine. And I am still waiting for it 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 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 00:59:24.559 --> 00:59:30.079 a bunch of applications. The SSD is having back in the game with the SSD. 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 00:59:34.240 --> 00:59:40.520 say you're looking for every JPEG on your computer or every txt file on your 00:59:38.720 --> 00:59:45.760 computer. So you can enter a search pretty darn close in terms of 00:59:42.960 --> 00:59:50.720 real world noticeability extension and let's say let's choose the 00:59:47.240 --> 00:59:52.720 extension hybrid I because there will be 00:59:50.720 --> 00:59:57.200 tons of those on any Windows machine. So you can see that the SSD is populating 00:59:54.559 --> 01:00:01.760 my list way faster. You can tell by how much smaller the scroll wheel is versus 00:59:59.359 --> 01:00:05.839 on the hard drive. That's a really difficult demo to show. And you can also 01:00:03.760 --> 01:00:09.359 tell that the search is completely done. There we go. And the hard drive is still 01:00:07.920 --> 01:00:14.400 working at it. This is the green progress bar that is showing how far the 01:00:12.079 --> 01:00:20.480 hard drive is. Yeah, we've got 451 items. We're still at 411 01:00:17.000 --> 01:00:22.319 412 451. The hard drive is finally done. 01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:28.000 So that is how much longer it took for the hard drive to populate with 451 01:00:24.720 --> 01:00:29.680 items here. And then let's not forget 01:00:28.000 --> 01:00:34.640 that one of the most stressful things you can do with your computer is dare to 01:00:32.559 --> 01:00:39.839 use it while you're running an antivirus scan. So let's open up the computer 01:00:36.400 --> 01:00:42.960 scanner in AVG and let's scan whole 01:00:39.839 --> 01:00:44.960 computer. Now when you're scanning your 01:00:42.960 --> 01:00:48.799 computer obviously anything that you try to do is going to be hampered by the 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 01:00:50.720 --> 01:00:56.760 thing like open up Microsoft Word. I'm pretty disappointed SSD is done. the 01:00:55.119 --> 01:01:00.760 hard drive to recover from where it's 01:00:59.200 --> 01:01:06.240 scanning for the file that contains Microsoft. 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 01:01:07.760 --> 01:01:13.680 that there is no smok and mirrors going on behind the scenes. Every test you saw 01:01:11.839 --> 01:01:17.599 was run on two identical machines. One with the Vert.ex, one with the Western 01:01:15.760 --> 01:01:22.000 Digital 1 TB Black, which is one of the most respected, fastest magnetic hard 01:01:19.920 --> 01:01:25.599 drives on the market today. But after the demo you saw today, why isn't 01:01:23.520 --> 01:01:30.480 everyone using an SSD? The answer to that is because right now they have 01:01:27.839 --> 01:01:36.000 significantly lower capacities and much higher prices. The SSD we're using today 01:01:32.640 --> 01:01:38.000 costs over $900 and it is a 200 GB 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. 01:01:41.359 --> 01:01:47.440 to a lot of people. He apparently was calling to tell me 01:01:45.520 --> 01:01:52.240 that the YouTube video playing in the background was causing problems, which I 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 01:01:54.240 --> 01:02:00.480 probably Oh, whoa, there we go. Yep. Yep. 01:01:57.720 --> 01:02:04.559 BG286 says, "Slick calling to tell you about the 01:02:01.400 --> 01:02:07.599 audio." Outstanding. Thank you, Slick. 01:02:04.559 --> 01:02:10.400 Say 1 billion bleeding lambs all at the 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. 01:02:13.440 --> 01:02:18.480 Slick rules. Thank you, Slick. Slick. Slick. Slick. Thanks, Slick. Thank you. 01:02:17.040 --> 01:02:25.040 I love you, Slick. That's what everyone has to say about all of this. Praise 01:02:21.480 --> 01:02:25.040 Slick. Okay. Bye, 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 01:02:29.839 --> 01:02:38.319 the uh the address book entry when I when I texted him earlier, then um let 01:02:34.720 --> 01:02:39.920 that be a lesson to you. Oh, I've got a 01:02:38.319 --> 01:02:48.880 message. Uh, mute the YouTube audio. Thank you. 01:02:44.680 --> 01:02:51.119 So, yeah, I whatever. You guys run your 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 01:02:56.040 --> 01:03:04.319 you. Let's go back to Twitter. People respect me, unlike the 01:03:02.640 --> 01:03:09.440 my phone where people call me and tell me that I'm live streaming. Uh, Ahmed 01:03:08.160 --> 01:03:15.559 wants to know, "What would be a good water block for Galaxy's GTX 670s?" Um, 01:03:12.880 --> 01:03:22.079 any water block that is compatible with from EK. Um, I don't know who else. 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 01:03:24.079 --> 01:03:30.480 together? So, I'm going to show you guys the process that I go through whenever 01:03:28.799 --> 01:03:37.039 someone asks me a question or whenever there's something I don't know. First, I 01:03:32.079 --> 01:03:37.039 Google it. Did you mean GTX 670 water 01:03:37.240 --> 01:03:47.119 block? Sure. Okay. Then I go to some store. In this 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 01:03:50.400 --> 01:03:56.200 look at all the different GTX 670 water blocks and I find the one that looks 01:03:54.640 --> 01:04:02.160 pretty cool. Okay. Oh, the XSPC one is cheaper. 01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:05.039 XSPC makes good stuff. EK makes good stuff. SwiftTech makes good stuff. These 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 01:04:09.440 --> 01:04:15.200 there's your There's your answer. 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 01:04:22.640 --> 01:04:27.599 Galaxy card with a nonreference PCB, you 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 01:04:29.520 --> 01:04:36.039 cool your graphics card, you're probably better off to go with a reference card 01:04:34.520 --> 01:04:40.960 like 95% of the time. Every once in a while, 01:04:38.720 --> 01:04:44.960 you'll see some special card like an MSI Lightning Edition that has a full cover 01:04:43.119 --> 01:04:47.599 block available, but it really doesn't happen that 01:04:48.039 --> 01:04:54.520 often. Okay. Sad 01:04:52.920 --> 01:04:58.960 cigar cigar. Dear Lionus, hi, I'm from India 01:04:57.280 --> 01:05:04.720 and biggest fan of your reviews. Please allow Indian for all giveaways. I have 01:05:01.839 --> 01:05:10.319 not done a North Americaon giveaway in like two years. Everyone needs to just 01:05:07.520 --> 01:05:13.760 get over it. I did it one time. Every other giveaway I've done has been 01:05:11.880 --> 01:05:19.760 worldwide. So, I don't want to address this anymore. And thank you for writing 01:05:16.000 --> 01:05:21.920 into the show. Lucas, did Logan have any 01:05:19.760 --> 01:05:25.520 hand in helping Lionus TechTips? I would be greatly interested in knowing the 01:05:23.200 --> 01:05:31.520 origins of your info. Lionus Tech Tips is called Lionus Tech Tips and not Logan 01:05:27.599 --> 01:05:34.400 Tech Tips because it comes from yo me. 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 01:05:36.799 --> 01:05:42.240 hand in doing his own thing with Raise the World, but we've never actually 01:05:40.000 --> 01:05:45.440 collaborated on anything. So, uh, I mean, we've exchanged emails, you know, 01:05:43.760 --> 01:05:50.319 we've exchanged YouTube private messages a few times, but that's about 01:05:47.720 --> 01:05:55.280 it. Yep. Keith wants to know which GTX 660 would 01:05:52.720 --> 01:06:00.000 I choose that is non-reference. Um, most GTX 660s are non-reference if I recall 01:05:58.160 --> 01:06:04.319 correctly. This is one of those cards where NVIDIA has made the reference 01:06:01.599 --> 01:06:08.520 design sort of very very optional. So, I would probably do something like this. I 01:06:05.920 --> 01:06:12.839 would go to my favorite computer retailers store and then I would look 01:06:10.960 --> 01:06:18.799 for a GTX 660, which I would find more easily if 01:06:16.160 --> 01:06:24.079 the page layout wasn't totally broken because I'm scrolled funny. I'd find one 01:06:21.200 --> 01:06:27.760 with like a sweet cooler or something and then I' I'd buy it. 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 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 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 01:06:40.640 --> 01:06:46.920 like a dual fan cooler versus uh versus a blower cooler just because they tend 01:06:44.480 --> 01:06:53.920 to be quieter and they tend to run cooler. But yeah, uh Phil wants to know 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 01:06:55.520 --> 01:07:01.440 difference between surround and stereo headsets? I use cheap earbuds in game 01:06:59.440 --> 01:07:06.880 and can still pinpoint the directions of sounds. Great question, Phil. Um, and I 01:07:04.720 --> 01:07:12.039 would suggest to you that it is a simple matter of mathematical calculation that 01:07:10.319 --> 01:07:19.119 you can kind of go, okay, if I have two audio inputs, which 01:07:16.079 --> 01:07:23.039 are my ears, and two audio outputs, 01:07:19.119 --> 01:07:25.760 which are my speakers, then as long as 01:07:23.039 --> 01:07:32.799 the software mixing is done correctly, okay, and this is complicated. this 01:07:28.440 --> 01:07:36.400 is ality of audio then in theory a 01:07:32.799 --> 01:07:41.119 stereo setup is as good as anything in 01:07:36.400 --> 01:07:44.160 theory. Um for headphones I would never 01:07:41.119 --> 01:07:46.799 really use ones with dedicated speakers 01:07:44.160 --> 01:07:54.160 because what you tend to end up with is lots of small tiny sounding speakers 01:07:50.799 --> 01:07:56.960 instead of two larger better sounding 01:07:54.160 --> 01:08:01.039 deeper sounding speakers. Um, however, when it comes to speakers, actual 01:07:58.640 --> 01:08:05.760 physical speakers set up around you, I would suggest if you 01:08:03.400 --> 01:08:10.480 want speakers are actually better than two stereo speakers in front of 01:08:07.640 --> 01:08:14.559 you. So, there you go. That is my answer to that 01:08:11.559 --> 01:08:16.480 question. Francisco wants to know if it 01:08:14.559 --> 01:08:22.560 is worth spending the money on water blocks for two 01:08:19.080 --> 01:08:25.199 HD5770s. Francesco, these kinds of value 01:08:22.560 --> 01:08:31.520 analyses are actually quite simple. First, let's find out if anyone even 01:08:26.960 --> 01:08:34.560 made a GTX 5770 water block. Uh, okay. 01:08:31.520 --> 01:08:36.480 Apparently EK did. Okay. So, let's go 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 01:08:37.759 --> 01:08:45.440 to cost you. 5770. 01:08:41.640 --> 01:08:49.480 Oh, okay. We're in USA and Canada. Look 01:08:45.440 --> 01:08:52.759 at that US flag for the USA and Canada 01:08:49.480 --> 01:08:56.359 region. We Canadians get no getting no 01:08:52.759 --> 01:09:03.000 love. Okay. Yeah, let's proceed 01:08:56.359 --> 01:09:06.080 again. Okay, let's try this. 5770. 01:09:03.000 --> 01:09:07.480 Go. So, it looks like your water block 01:09:06.080 --> 01:09:13.440 is around 40 bucks. So, for 40 bucks times 2 plus 01:09:11.040 --> 01:09:16.799 whatever you can get for your 5770s, which is usually a quick thing. This 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 01:09:19.279 --> 01:09:27.120 spending 80 bucks. 5770. We go on eBay and we can find out 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 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 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 01:09:40.799 --> 01:09:48.520 $200 to spend, you could go to NCIX and 01:09:44.400 --> 01:09:51.199 search for GTX 01:09:48.520 --> 01:09:57.000 660 and you would find that a new graphics card. Oh, okay. 660, right? The 01:09:54.960 --> 01:10:03.040 non Ti is around a little over 200 bucks for an 01:09:59.600 --> 01:10:07.520 EVGA 660 superc clocked. Then you go and 01:10:03.040 --> 01:10:09.440 look at a review of a GTX 660. 01:10:07.520 --> 01:10:13.040 Okay. So, see, are you guys following me so far? This is the calculation. So, 01:10:11.360 --> 01:10:16.800 we've got 200 bucks to spend, but we spent about 10% over our budget, which 01:10:14.960 --> 01:10:20.320 is unfortunate. Okay. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Here's our review. 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 01:10:22.320 --> 01:10:27.760 scales pretty well sort of across the board like uh say for example, really 01:10:26.159 --> 01:10:32.640 they're using Crisis Warhead. Sure. Okay. Crisis Warhead. Let's find out how 01:10:29.760 --> 01:10:40.280 Crisis Warhead performs. And then we go, okay, so the 660 01:10:35.719 --> 01:10:43.520 destroys pretty much anything below a 01:10:40.280 --> 01:10:45.880 7850. Then we can go back and we can 01:10:43.520 --> 01:10:51.520 look at a 7850 review. 01:10:47.560 --> 01:10:51.520 Okay. And we can find 01:10:51.880 --> 01:10:58.400 out, well, Guru 3D. See, these are all credible sites. Guru 3D, hardware 01:10:56.080 --> 01:11:03.120 connects and ant Tom's hardware. We're only looking for approximates. We're 01:10:59.920 --> 01:11:04.400 just doing a rough calculation here. So 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 01:11:08.239 --> 01:11:11.679 of Oh, there we go. There we go. 01:11:12.040 --> 01:11:19.520 7770 a 01:11:15.320 --> 01:11:21.880 78 gets absolutely rocked by almost 01:11:19.520 --> 01:11:28.640 double. Which means that even if your 7770s scale pretty well in Crossfire, 01:11:25.360 --> 01:11:32.040 your new GTX 660 is going to be more 01:11:28.640 --> 01:11:34.120 than 10% faster than which means that it 01:11:32.040 --> 01:11:39.679 is the same feature set. Um, longerterm driver 01:11:37.679 --> 01:11:43.840 support, probably more worthwhile to get a new card as opposed to spending a 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 01:11:46.159 --> 01:11:52.480 we figure out what's a better value. You compare things across multiple reviews. 01:11:51.280 --> 01:11:57.040 You figure out how much it's going to cost, how much your hardware is worth. 01:11:54.480 --> 01:12:01.679 And then you just flip your 70 or whatever they're called, 01:11:58.440 --> 01:12:03.600 57. And wait, 5770s. Was that even the 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 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 01:12:11.199 --> 01:12:18.760 the answer. Oh, look who visited us. It's Rumble the cat. Say hello, 01:12:15.760 --> 01:12:18.760 everybody. 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 01:12:22.960 --> 01:12:26.239 he's part of the show unless he has a 01:12:27.719 --> 01:12:31.040 headset. Can you say 01:12:31.239 --> 01:12:34.719 hi? Can you say 01:12:35.719 --> 01:12:43.120 hi? Oh, he's not impressed at all. 01:12:40.040 --> 01:12:45.120 Okay. The cat is not impressed at all 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 01:12:47.600 --> 01:12:50.800 going to answer some more Twitter 01:12:52.360 --> 01:13:00.719 questions. Twitch TV is only for gaming. Too bad. That's this guy right here. Too 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 01:13:03.880 --> 01:13:10.159 fine. Oh, he's getting 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 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 01:13:15.440 --> 01:13:22.239 tweets. So, we're probably going to wrap things up in about 10 minutes here, 01:13:18.640 --> 01:13:23.840 guys. And uh I will hopefully Yes, MK. I 01:13:22.239 --> 01:13:28.000 know. Fix my audio. It's cutting in and out and dying and something. Check 01:13:25.920 --> 01:13:32.040 Twitch randomly at least. Oh. Oh. Oh, he wants me to check the Twitch chat. All 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 01:13:35.440 --> 01:13:42.000 a cat. Guys, if you want questions answered, go post it on Twitter. Yes, 01:13:39.679 --> 01:13:46.320 guys, if you want questions answered, please do post them on Twitter. I'm on 01:13:43.760 --> 01:13:49.440 Twitter at Linus Tech. Um, and I'm mostly ignoring the Twitch chat tonight 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 01:13:52.159 --> 01:13:57.199 hope. And by then, I I really hope the 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 01:14:00.000 --> 01:14:08.800 everything. I've tried this external sound card. I've tried this external 01:14:05.040 --> 01:14:10.960 sound card. I've tried freaking this 01:14:08.800 --> 01:14:17.360 external sound card which is supposed to be BOS and like balling out and none of 01:14:14.320 --> 01:14:20.480 them are working for me here. So, um 01:14:17.360 --> 01:14:22.320 I've tried multiple headsets and uh 01:14:20.480 --> 01:14:26.880 cameraman wants my address. Apparently, he wants to like hardcore creep me. 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 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. 01:14:35.360 --> 01:14:43.120 Gary wants to know, Lionus, what is the most silent pump? Thanks very much. Get 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 01:14:45.600 --> 01:14:52.159 one. Very, very, very 01:14:48.920 --> 01:14:53.920 quiet. KMR wants to know, Lionus, how do 01:14:52.159 --> 01:14:58.800 you know how to learn to string a badminton racket? Um, I have a friend 01:14:56.080 --> 01:15:03.199 who works at a badminton shop and he showed me. It's actually not that hard. 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 01:15:04.800 --> 01:15:09.440 over under. You have to look up the stringing patterns on the manufacturer 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 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 01:15:15.679 --> 01:15:21.840 racket. And to put that in perspective, he can do it in I think about 20 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 01:15:24.080 --> 01:15:32.400 of doing it is actually not that efficient. Paul Tiberius Nicola. That is 01:15:29.760 --> 01:15:39.239 a fantastic name. Paul Tiberius, how much does a PCI Express high performance 01:15:35.400 --> 01:15:42.800 SSD affect video cards using a PCIe 01:15:39.239 --> 01:15:44.800 lanes? Lose the entire electrical lane. 01:15:42.800 --> 01:15:49.199 Okay, Paul. Um, first I'd like to clarify a little bit how the PCI Express 01:15:46.719 --> 01:15:54.800 lane allocations work. So, as long as you install that PCI Express Whoops, 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 01:15:56.560 --> 01:16:02.800 your graphics card, they're not really fighting over it. So, for example, in an 01:15:59.920 --> 01:16:07.600 X79 board, you've got two 16x slots or you've got 01:16:03.880 --> 01:16:10.159 1688. If you install that PCIe card in 01:16:07.600 --> 01:16:13.679 down here, then it'll switch to 1688, which really won't affect your 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 01:16:15.280 --> 01:16:25.199 messing with you before. Um but yes, it will change the configuration of your 01:16:21.719 --> 01:16:26.400 PCIe slots. Um but you can sacrifice as 01:16:25.199 --> 01:16:31.440 little or as much as you want. And I mean lots of boards um especially Z77 01:16:28.719 --> 01:16:35.520 boards have PCIe 4X slots usually down at the bottom that are hooked up through 01:16:33.360 --> 01:16:42.080 the chipset and running off a completely different um set of PCIe lanes versus 01:16:38.239 --> 01:16:43.679 the 28x slots. So you just have to look 01:16:42.080 --> 01:16:49.679 at the uh at the layout for your board and see what makes sense for 01:16:45.800 --> 01:16:51.840 you. Um Fazil says from Iraq and I say 01:16:49.679 --> 01:17:00.320 hi Iraq. KPK TDS, how many years will last an i5 01:16:56.520 --> 01:17:04.000 3570K for gaming? Please answer. I would 01:17:00.320 --> 01:17:04.000 love to answer you with a 01:17:06.120 --> 01:17:14.000 video. YouTube.com. Let's see what comes up. Oh. Oh, special daily rewards. Oh, 01:17:11.840 --> 01:17:17.800 I've been selected to take part in an annual visitor 01:17:16.040 --> 01:17:23.000 survey. YouTube.com. What a scam. Don't go to 01:17:20.800 --> 01:17:26.400 YouTube.com. It's probably a scam. Although, when you guys are gone, 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 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 01:17:33.040 --> 01:17:40.320 right. Future 01:17:36.840 --> 01:17:42.719 proofing. Let's see. Oh, it's me. Holy 01:17:40.320 --> 01:17:47.760 crap. Look at me. I'm right there. Proofing your PC. Dispelling some myths. 01:17:45.600 --> 01:17:50.719 This was one of the simplest NCIX tech tips episodes we ever filmed. And this 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 01:17:53.440 --> 01:17:59.520 it. But I basically talked for 10 minutes about how future proof Welcome 01:17:57.360 --> 01:18:03.920 to NC Tech Tips. Today's format is going to be a little bit different 01:18:01.560 --> 01:18:09.600 for when you get your next paycheck or like a month later then it makes sense. 01:18:06.239 --> 01:18:11.280 But if you intend to actually 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 01:18:12.719 --> 01:18:18.960 crystal ball. Anyone who tells you you're future proofing your PC is trying 01:18:15.760 --> 01:18:21.199 to sell you something. I mean, yeah. 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 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 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 01:18:34.560 --> 01:18:41.760 cards because it won't make any difference whatsoever. Edward Dwarkin, 01:18:39.600 --> 01:18:45.840 would you recommend an AMD APU for a very lowbudget rig? Absolutely, Edward. 01:18:43.840 --> 01:18:52.080 I would especially if you want to play entry-level games on it because compared 01:18:48.000 --> 01:18:54.159 to Intel's integrated GPUs, the APU dead 01:18:52.080 --> 01:19:00.159 or integrated graphics that's included is really good. It's way better than 01:18:56.800 --> 01:19:01.520 Intel's even Intel's Ivy Bridge GPUs. 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 01:19:03.199 --> 01:19:09.080 thinking about it. Yep, here he comes. 01:19:06.560 --> 01:19:13.440 All right, more Twitter questions. Zack, do you ever use Linux 01:19:11.360 --> 01:19:18.560 for anything? No, I don't. I get that question a lot 01:19:15.960 --> 01:19:23.120 though. Daniel wants to know, "Where do you think a college student should start 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, 01:19:25.840 --> 01:19:32.320 if you took like, I don't know, product management program, then you might learn 01:19:30.640 --> 01:19:35.520 a thing or two about managing products. I mean, product management is pretty 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 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 01:19:41.840 --> 01:19:47.199 does make money but people are still happy with the price and they want to 01:19:44.880 --> 01:19:50.880 buy it. So, you know, as long as you can handle handle those basic ideas, then 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 01:19:54.719 --> 01:20:01.280 thing, the best way to get started looking for a job related to YouTube is 01:19:58.239 --> 01:20:03.120 to well upload videos to YouTube because 01:20:01.280 --> 01:20:07.679 that's probably how someone will see your YouTube video and watch it and like 01:20:04.960 --> 01:20:10.960 it. Speaking of which, you guys should like this video. Wait, no, it won't work 01:20:09.440 --> 01:20:14.320 that way. Well, I'm gonna upload this video to YouTube after. So, if anyone's 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 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. 01:20:23.199 --> 01:20:29.360 How dare you, Jesse? How could you do this to 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 01:20:31.600 --> 01:20:39.360 site just for Canadian shoppers? All prices in Canadian 01:20:35.960 --> 01:20:40.960 currency. Oh, new egg. New egg. New egg. 01:20:39.360 --> 01:20:44.600 Yeah, you have a Canadian site, but I don't know if anyone cares. Bam. Take 01:20:43.840 --> 01:20:50.159 that, Paul. And the other guy. Shoot. I even 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 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 01:20:55.679 --> 01:21:01.360 been live streaming for almost an hour and a half. So, uh, and in answer to 01:20:59.600 --> 01:21:06.080 your question, Jesse, go with the better heat sink, which is the one you linked, 01:21:02.960 --> 01:21:06.080 not the Cooler Master 01:21:07.880 --> 01:21:14.080 212. Matt wants to know, "What is going on with the Pile Driver CPU, and when 01:21:11.840 --> 01:21:18.199 will AMD make a new CPU without integrated graphics?" Coming very soon. 01:21:16.159 --> 01:21:24.600 There's lots of information all over the interwebs. Um, if you were to 01:21:21.000 --> 01:21:27.440 search 50, you might kind of 01:21:24.600 --> 01:21:31.760 interesting. I can't tell you anything. But, uh, you know, the rumor sites, for 01:21:30.159 --> 01:21:35.679 all the, uh, for all the flack they take about being wrong about this or that, 01:21:33.360 --> 01:21:39.520 are are right so often that it's definitely worthwhile reading them if 01:21:37.679 --> 01:21:41.679 you really want to know what's coming in the 01:21:41.800 --> 01:21:48.000 future. Stephen, I'm trying to decide 01:21:45.719 --> 01:21:52.080 between is it worth investing in the Intel? Short answer is fine. Uh, it's a 01:21:50.800 --> 01:21:55.760 bit of a longer answer than that, unfortunately. low-end gaming machine, 01:21:54.080 --> 01:21:58.719 entry- level gaming, just basic productivity, go with the AMD machine 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 01:22:02.480 --> 01:22:09.760 these days. If you want a higher performance machine, then Intel will 01:22:08.239 --> 01:22:13.840 perform better. So, do you want to spend more and get more performance? Okay, go 01:22:11.520 --> 01:22:17.360 Intel. Do you not want to spend more? Do you not want more performance? Go with 01:22:15.360 --> 01:22:21.679 AMD. I mean, there are certain applications, however, 01:22:19.239 --> 01:22:28.040 even perform pretty well. something like an FX8150 where all those cores are 01:22:24.480 --> 01:22:30.400 being leveraged can perform pretty well. 01:22:28.040 --> 01:22:35.560 Um, especially given the price points. I think an 8150 is around 200 bucks now 01:22:32.480 --> 01:22:38.480 and the motherboards are 01:22:35.560 --> 01:22:43.679 cheaper. Katsu Lionus, what do you think of two 120 mm rads compared to a single 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. 01:22:47.120 --> 01:22:52.960 Two 120 mm almost identically. The only 01:22:51.280 --> 01:22:56.639 difference is you are going to hamper your flow rate a little bit, which 01:22:54.639 --> 01:23:00.639 doesn't make that much of a difference to the performance of your loop. So, if 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 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 01:23:07.679 --> 01:23:13.800 that, though. Get an MCP 655 or 350 or 355 for that 01:23:12.280 --> 01:23:18.560 matter. Michael, can you still overclock Intel 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 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 01:23:23.679 --> 01:23:30.320 a K on the end. Yan says, "Linus, show us your 01:23:27.320 --> 01:23:30.320 cat." 01:23:30.360 --> 01:23:36.440 Bam. That's my kitty. 01:23:33.880 --> 01:23:40.800 Okay, Phil's question we already answered. Uh, Simrons wants to know, 01:23:39.040 --> 01:23:48.639 "Why don't I ever review ASUS video cards?" To which I would reply, um, I 01:23:44.880 --> 01:23:48.639 don't know. Let's see. ASUS 01:23:49.560 --> 01:23:58.480 Linus. Oh, okay. Let's try ASUS Linus 01:23:54.520 --> 01:24:01.760 video. Okay, we got a GTX 580 Mars 2. 01:23:58.480 --> 01:24:03.360 We've got an Aries 5870X2, although that 01:24:01.760 --> 01:24:09.159 was just a giveaway. There's the unboxing of it. Here's the uh testing of 01:24:05.920 --> 01:24:11.440 it. Here's an unboxing of a 560Ti direct 01:24:09.159 --> 01:24:16.239 CU2. Okay, so I see your point. All right. All right. Okay. So, some of this 01:24:12.719 --> 01:24:19.400 is older stuff. Um, honestly, um, I 01:24:16.239 --> 01:24:22.719 don't have them, so it's harder for me 01:24:19.400 --> 01:24:26.320 to, you know, look at them, investigate 01:24:22.719 --> 01:24:28.960 them, check for imperfections in the 01:24:26.320 --> 01:24:32.960 finish. Um, yeah, it's really that simple. Whatever Whatever crosses my 01:24:30.880 --> 01:24:38.560 path, and usually for ASUS, it's things like sound cards and motherboards and 01:24:36.239 --> 01:24:42.000 uh, notebooks. Whatever crosses my path, I will make videos about. And I just 01:24:40.560 --> 01:24:47.120 really don't I don't really don't get my hands on ASUS video 01:24:44.440 --> 01:24:52.159 cards. Khalil, I missed you when you were at CES. Will you ever be near 01:24:48.800 --> 01:24:54.159 Northern Nevada or Sacramento again? Um, 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 01:24:55.360 --> 01:25:02.639 depends what happens. Um, yeah. And we 01:24:58.800 --> 01:25:03.719 got our favorite troller. Haha. You're 01:25:02.639 --> 01:25:08.280 so cool. A, it's adorable. 01:25:10.880 --> 01:25:17.920 And have you updated your iPhone to iOS 6? I have 01:25:14.360 --> 01:25:19.840 not. Uh, we're going to scroll down. 01:25:17.920 --> 01:25:25.440 Linus, turn off the YouTube video. Ah, we've gotten down to to 01:25:22.520 --> 01:25:29.840 that. Felix says, "Fail night, Lionus. Video is louder than you and getting 01:25:26.719 --> 01:25:31.960 longer mic breaks." I know. I don't know 01:25:29.840 --> 01:25:36.080 what to do. Well, I do know what to do. I need 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 01:25:38.159 --> 01:25:44.159 address it. All right, let's go look at some of the newer tweets. 122 new 01:25:42.080 --> 01:25:48.719 interactions. Thank you to those of you who are still watching because uh there 01:25:46.719 --> 01:25:51.760 are still 1500 of you watching the stream, which is just outstanding, 01:25:50.480 --> 01:25:56.560 especially given the technical challenges we've had tonight. I'm sure at least a 01:25:54.199 --> 01:25:59.920 few few people are probably getting sort of frustrated with all the technical 01:25:58.080 --> 01:26:03.679 difficulties, and I'm sorry for that. But I really do appreciate your guys' 01:26:01.760 --> 01:26:08.760 support and uh the fact that you're watching the show. Joe wants to know, 01:26:06.800 --> 01:26:14.159 should I upgrade to Ivy Bridge from my Q6600? Um I would say that is an 01:26:11.520 --> 01:26:18.719 excellent upgrade. You've waited a few generations. You've uh yeah, you you 01:26:16.960 --> 01:26:22.400 deserve it, man. Go ahead and upgrade to Ivy Bridge. Um Haswell is going to be 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 01:26:24.960 --> 01:26:29.920 increase from that upgrade. Uh, merit. 01:26:28.159 --> 01:26:34.000 How difficult is it to water cool GPUs if you are already custom cooling the 01:26:31.480 --> 01:26:38.880 CPU? Not that difficult. Actually, the hardest thing about water cooling a GPU 01:26:36.880 --> 01:26:41.840 is installing the graphics card water block. But if you're very careful and 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 01:26:46.159 --> 01:26:52.239 block guide. Let's see what comes up. 01:26:50.000 --> 01:26:56.719 There's one from Singularity Computers. There's one's from Troubar. There's one 01:26:54.560 --> 01:27:02.239 from Daz Mode. And hey, it's Daz mode. He's Canadian, 01:26:58.120 --> 01:27:04.400 too. And there's me. So, I show you how 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 01:27:07.600 --> 01:27:15.000 figure that you can handle that, then go for it. Have fun. It's 01:27:13.080 --> 01:27:19.760 good. Oh, Rubet, can you recommend a cheap gaming 01:27:17.600 --> 01:27:24.199 laptop? That's like asking me if I can 01:27:21.280 --> 01:27:33.360 recommend, you know, a a delicious um you know, a delicious bottle of urine 01:27:28.639 --> 01:27:36.320 or wait, no, it's more like bottle of I 01:27:33.360 --> 01:27:41.280 don't know, um apple juice. I like apple juice. Orange Tropicana. It's like uh 01:27:38.800 --> 01:27:47.120 yes, it's like asking me for I don't know. It's contradicting. Gaming laptops 01:27:43.840 --> 01:27:50.280 aren't cheap because the CPUs, the GPUs, 01:27:47.120 --> 01:27:52.040 the displays, everything about them is 01:27:50.280 --> 01:28:00.560 expensive. So, no, maybe buy one used. I don't 01:27:57.239 --> 01:28:04.400 know. Darien, can you build a computer 01:28:00.560 --> 01:28:06.400 for me? I will tell you all the parts I 01:28:04.400 --> 01:28:10.159 want and pay you for the assembling fee. Please tweet me back. You know what? 01:28:07.840 --> 01:28:15.719 Let's tweet back, Darien. I wonder if he's still watching the stream. 01:28:13.199 --> 01:28:23.360 Let's tweet him back. Let's say is $1,000 01:28:19.480 --> 01:28:23.360 o is 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. 01:28:28.159 --> 01:28:34.000 If he does it, then I will I will spend 01:28:31.760 --> 01:28:38.719 $500 of the assembly fee that was collected buying some high-end graphics 01:28:36.320 --> 01:28:42.520 card and I will give it away on Twitter. Let's see if he does it. 01:28:42.560 --> 01:28:49.360 Okay, moving down. Uh, Shelby, I just wanted to say 01:28:47.679 --> 01:28:55.920 thanks for making videos and educating me. I ordered my first order from NCX 01:28:51.520 --> 01:28:55.920 yesterday. Way to go, Shelby. You did 01:28:56.040 --> 01:29:03.040 good. All right, we've got only three minutes left, 01:28:59.960 --> 01:29:04.800 guys. No, I promised a test for the XFX 01:29:03.040 --> 01:29:09.120 WD cooling system, but never did one. Um, you know what? I'd totally forgotten 01:29:06.480 --> 01:29:13.679 about it. So, in all likelihood, it's probably not not coming. Um, cuz there's 01:29:12.080 --> 01:29:19.280 enough sort of new video cards coming out and everything that I'm pretty busy. 01:29:16.320 --> 01:29:21.840 But, uh, yeah, I'm I'mma leave I'mma leave that for 01:29:22.520 --> 01:29:29.120 now. Rhino Rager wants to know, "Why is 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 01:29:31.760 --> 01:29:37.440 recording games? I'm going to need some clarification. Maybe resend that 01:29:35.280 --> 01:29:40.480 question next week. Um, if you're talking about recording games, if you're 01:29:38.800 --> 01:29:43.440 talking about recording videos or whatever else the case may be, if you're 01:29:42.159 --> 01:29:47.760 talking about recording this live stream, then maybe just watch it on 01:29:45.199 --> 01:29:50.000 YouTube after. I don't know. Moving right 01:29:55.159 --> 01:30:01.719 along. Ah, Dali wants to know if I can 01:29:58.239 --> 01:30:01.719 speak some French. 01:30:09.120 --> 01:30:14.960 I told him I couldn't in French. Basically, it's too difficult. It's been 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 01:30:18.320 --> 01:30:24.800 remember anything anymore. Joseph wants to know, "Do I personally like NCX's 01:30:22.800 --> 01:30:31.080 site design?" Answer truthfully. I will answer truthfully, but partially. I 01:30:27.120 --> 01:30:31.080 liked it eight years ago. 01:30:40.600 --> 01:30:46.719 CJ, sorry to repost this, but I want an expert opinion. I just bought two 01:30:44.679 --> 01:30:50.400 EVGA480s. Is it still relevant or should I upgrade? As long as you're okay with 01:30:48.560 --> 01:30:54.239 the heat they kick out, then they're fine. I mean, you probably only paid a 01:30:52.639 --> 01:30:58.239 couple hundred bucks each, which is still a very valid price for those 01:30:56.159 --> 01:31:04.719 cards. 200 bucks for something that's essentially equivalent to a GTX 570 um 01:31:01.040 --> 01:31:06.880 except kicks out more heat um and scales 01:31:04.719 --> 01:31:12.800 pretty well in SLI for me card. It's actually more powerful for CUDA than a 01:31:09.120 --> 01:31:12.800 570. So yeah, totally 01:31:13.719 --> 01:31:22.800 fine. And I think we're pretty much done here, guys. One 01:31:19.239 --> 01:31:25.920 more one more tweet. Let's take the top 01:31:22.800 --> 01:31:28.080 tweet once I reload this and then we are 01:31:25.920 --> 01:31:32.639 pretty much gonna wrap it up here. So, let's switch back to 01:31:29.560 --> 01:31:32.639 here. All 01:31:33.400 --> 01:31:41.120 right, Alexis. No, that's not really a question. Sorry, 01:31:38.199 --> 01:31:45.760 Alexi. Rumble Muffin wants to know why is it 01:31:42.440 --> 01:31:47.760 that 11 CPU is only clocked to 4 GHz in 01:31:45.760 --> 01:31:52.400 my benchmark videos? Because that was a quick and easy overclock. It's something 01:31:49.600 --> 01:31:58.880 I know that anyone with that CPU will be able to obtain, attain, obtain, attain. 01:31:55.360 --> 01:32:00.560 So, as long as I use a setting that I 01:31:58.880 --> 01:32:04.560 know other people can replicate, then my testing is therefore easily 01:32:05.320 --> 01:32:12.719 replicable. I've clearly had enough of this. So, I'm a eager eager eagerly 01:32:11.199 --> 01:32:17.040 awaiting cameraman to show up with the iPhone 5 and uh you know, maybe we'll 01:32:14.880 --> 01:32:21.840 stream that.
