WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.799 It's handy tech under a hundred time again. And this time, no sticky stuff. 00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:11.759 I've got a better way to charge, a better way to communicate, a better way 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:13.380 to cool, and a better way to dongle. 00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:18.329 Let's do 00:00:21.080 --> 00:00:28.160 it. be quiet!. Silent Wings 3 use a smooth running six-pole motor to remain 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:33.120 silent and better cool your PC. Check them out at the link below. 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:37.520 Number one is the Ant Lion Mod Mic 5, a boomstyle microphone that can attach to 00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:43.360 any pair of headphones, turning them into a very capable and modular headset 00:00:40.559 --> 00:00:46.879 for 70 bucks. This way, you get to keep your audio filegrade headphones that 00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:51.360 you'd prefer to listen to instead of resorting to clipping a mic to your 00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:56.559 clothes, putting a desktop microphone in front of you, or switching to a gaming 00:00:53.600 --> 00:01:03.039 headset. All of which might not be ideal solutions for a variety of unsurprising 00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:05.519 reasons. There are good gaming headset 00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:10.479 options like the ATTH AG1 from Audio Technica, but spending that kind of 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:14.799 money doesn't make a lot of sense if you already have awesome headphones that you 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:18.640 personally like and you don't want to lose their sound signature, which can be 00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:22.560 annoying. Of course, if it sucked, we wouldn't bother talking about it. But 00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:26.159 now in its fifth generation, the Mod Mic does sound great. Though I don't expect 00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:32.000 you to take my word for it. I'm going to read the rest of this paragraph on a handful of competing solutions. Once the 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:36.960 bass is attached to your headphones, you can clip it on or remove it easily with 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:41.759 its built-in magnet. It has a dual mic capsule with an omniirectional mic and a 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:45.759 separate unidirectional mic. A modular mute switch, a cable rack to protect 00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:49.439 your wires and simplify your setup, modular cable lengths, the right 00:01:47.759 --> 00:01:54.159 adapters get you going no matter what device you have, other than I guess an 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:58.640 iPhone 7. Although, if you have one of those Bluetooth audio dongle things, you 00:01:56.479 --> 00:02:04.159 could get it to work with the Y adapter. And there's also Kevlar reinforced 00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:08.000 wiring because why not? Number two, the 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:10.319 Silverstone 1 to8 PWM fan hub, which is 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:15.840 way cooler than the name makes it sound. Yes. Yes, it's just a fan hub, but it is 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:19.599 a four pin PWM, so it will support whatever fans you'd like. It looks very 00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:24.000 sleek and will go in pretty much any case, even with all the tempered glass 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:28.560 that's been going around lately. The cables are an appropriate length, so you 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:33.280 won't have a ton of excess, but there also will be enough to actually plug 00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:37.840 them in, which is important. And it comes with awesome 3M dual lock adhesive 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:41.680 strips, so you can put it anywhere in your case that you'd like. No more 00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:46.040 awkward fan cables running all around your motherboard searching for just one 00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:51.120 more fan header. Just one single cable to control 00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:56.800 the speed, and it's only 12 bucks. less than you'd pay for many premium fans. 00:02:53.160 --> 00:02:58.959 Anyways, number three, the Fin 6 Dart. 00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:02.800 It's barely under a hundred bucks, but it's really cool. It's a laptop charger 00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:07.680 that's so small that when I first saw it, I genuinely asked if it was actually 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:13.360 just for charging phones. And while I can do that with the integrated 2.1 amp 00:03:10.239 --> 00:03:15.519 USB port, it also charges laptops. In 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:20.480 the box, you'll get your Dart charger, a nice carrying pouch for everything, nine 00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:24.519 tips for charging a variety of laptops, and a thank you note for their 00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:30.400 Kickstarter. What? A decent product that I like from 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:34.879 Kickstarter. Okay, that was weird. And it gets even more unbelievable. If none 00:03:32.799 --> 00:03:39.360 of the included adapters actually work for you, just email them and they'll 00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:44.400 send you one that does for free. That's cool. Now, unsurprisingly, it's not that 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:48.239 strong. At only 65 watts of output, you'll be stuck with the thinner, 00:03:46.239 --> 00:03:53.280 sleeker selection of laptops out there if you want full charging performance. 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:58.159 But that being said, it does work with laptops that want more juice, like my 00:03:55.519 --> 00:04:03.680 old ASUS Bamboo, whose included charger is rated for about 90 watts. It will 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:07.760 charge just a little bit more slowly, which may be a fair trade-off while 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:13.040 traveling if you're going to be able to charge overnight and bag space is at a 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:15.280 premium. Thanks, United. Last but 00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:24.400 potentially not least, we have number four, the Axel XL axle, whatever. It's a 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:26.720 DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 adapter. 00:04:24.400 --> 00:04:31.360 Most graphics cards these days only have one HDMI port. Sometimes you need more. 00:04:30.080 --> 00:04:36.880 Sure, your monitors probably take DisplayPort, but VR headsets, capture 00:04:33.919 --> 00:04:42.080 cards, TVs, and video splitters are almost always HDMI only. Big deal, Luke. 00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:46.400 There's like a million of these on Newegg, right? Okay. But if you dig a 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:54.080 little deeper into the specs, most of them are HDMI 1.4, which means they're 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:56.160 limited to 4K at 30 Hz instead of 60 Hz, 00:04:54.080 --> 00:05:01.040 which means your highresolution display will feel laggy and stutter in 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:05.759 everything from games to even basic desktop use. Which brings us finally to 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:10.320 the full disclosure part of these handy tech episodes. Since they're structured 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:15.280 more as a recommendation to buy with links below to Amazon versus a review, 00:05:13.039 --> 00:05:20.639 we like to disclose why we chose these and how we acquired them. Item one, the 00:05:17.919 --> 00:05:25.039 Mod Mic 5 was actually sent to us by Ant Lion for an ad spot we did for them a 00:05:23.039 --> 00:05:30.639 little while ago, but Linus has always loved these things and I have too. And 00:05:27.280 --> 00:05:33.840 this one is just well more to love. Item 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:36.400 two, the Silverstone 128 PWM fan hub was 00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:41.759 sent by Silverstone for Lionus' desk PC project, though unfortunately it didn't 00:05:38.880 --> 00:05:46.800 arrive in time. The Finix Dart. Lionus backed this a thousand freaking years 00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:51.360 ago, and it just arrived a couple weeks ago. 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:56.479 Item four, the Excel DisplayPort to HDMI adapter was purchased by Lionus 00:05:54.000 --> 00:06:03.759 personally to solve his decidedly firstworld problem of how to connect his 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:07.680 4K TV and his HTC Vive to the 980 Ti in 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:09.039 his Media Center PC at the same time. 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:13.600 All right, guys.
