Slick's new benchmarking Den you can tell that slick works here because there

0:36

0:39
let's head up to his den we're in the new Linus Media Group HQ here and I just
0:43
want to remind you guys the WD contest
0:46
that we have running for watching our computex coverage of Western Digital
0:50
don't miss any of that if even 5,000 of the people who watch this video click
0:55
the playlist in the description and let it run through that'll be 25,000 more
1:00
views which contributes to us getting bigger prizes to give away now we've
1:03
talked to WD and we can do a minimum of the
1:07
25,000 average views per video prizes
1:10
which are a bunch of Western Digital drives but if we hit more views we can
1:14
get internal drives to give away we can get pet gaming systems to give away and
1:18
even a stagger Dynamics Media Center gaming system to give away free of
1:24
charge which is very very cool and the thing about the Stager Dynamics system
1:27
is those guys are awesome guys check them out on Facebook facebook.com/
1:31
Dynamics also we've got our HTC phone giveaway that I want to remind you about
1:35
before we go into select room here just
1:38
like uh so guys we're giving away four HTC phones unfortunately not HTC 1es but
1:44
there's a bunch of other cool options check the link in the video description for more about that and as a last
1:48
reminder follow Timmy tech TV on YouTube for a chance to win a 900d you also have
1:53
to be a member of the lonus tech tips Forum but I don't think it's much to ask for a chance to win a 900d from Corsair
1:59
so without further Ado here we go this is
2:05
the cage in which we keep the legendary slick himself you can see he's got the
2:10
most stylish ceiling fan that any of us have ever seen before in our lives with
2:15
little pastel he picked this out himself you know it was in the house no actually
2:20
it wasn't I'm pretty sure you picked this out pretty sure that uh that I'm the one
2:24
they'll be listening to cuz I'm hosting this video and for what it's worth a te
2:28
one so so over here we have Slick's
2:32
closet which you can see he is clearly out of uh inside we've got water cooling
2:37
crap up there so there's actually a pile of Radiators that you probably can't see
2:41
because I don't think Boll has the angle for it there there we go pile of
2:45
Radiators we've got testing gear this is
2:48
really not the optimal way to store motherboards sir
2:52
um what I'm trying to show people around
2:56
our test setup we got motherboard stacked on okay well here's our heat
2:59
sink pile a super old one as you can see we have a lot of LGA 1155 1156 and 1150
3:05
heat sinks cuz they're all the same so they start to pile up after a while this
3:08
is apparently regs on a what is this
3:13
what I asked for new shelves you didn't give me new shelves I had to come up
3:16
with something to store all this stuff in this room to store all the rags what
3:21
else you I mean what's on these nothing okay all right you Ed them more water
3:26
cooling stuff down there including another radiator which is like that
3:30
massive 9 by1 120 mil one so a bunch of fittings and cool and here there's um
3:34
monitors on the floor here so we've got whoa we've got benq's low response time
3:39
gaming monitor their 27in 3D as well as
3:42
Samsung's uh 27in 3D 12 HZ like cool
3:48
9009 series one uh we've got test bench
3:51
number one which is on a bench that is clearly designed for me to not be able
3:55
to use it at all because it's at a height that's about even with my nipple
3:59
so it's kind of uncomfortable to stand here and use it and this isn't that
4:03
keyboard what keyboard is this is this yours nope did you really take one no
4:09
you can't have this for the test I should have come in here before
4:14
we were filming this you you can't have this for a test bench this has Blues on
4:19
it of course this is one of the good ones of course it has Blues on it okay
4:24
well couple 3D monitors here just in case we have to do any 3D Vision testing
4:29
uh down here some stuff we still haven't unpacked so each of these has a heat
4:34
sink of some sort on the inside we didn't want these to get damaged while
4:38
we were moving so uh this is a I don't remember what heat sink this is but it's
4:42
a pretty pretty beefy one it's got like six heat pipes uh under there we've got
4:47
our ups which also isn't hooked up jeez man I set up the I set up the
4:53
benches before you actually gave me the okay that's true I gave you the UPS at
4:58
the last minute uh over here we have test bench number two and uh so we got
5:02
some video card stuff that we're running on here for an undisclosed potentially
5:06
upcoming video card Slick's wallet actually I know he doesn't have any
5:10
money so I guess there's no point looking at it uh Slick's workstation
5:13
which is his own personal computer this are you really going to try and make a
5:16
test bench out of this uh that motherboard is just resting there
5:20
because again I don't have shelves or anywhere to put anything ah yes okay
5:23
this is the RAM pile so we've got some Dominator
5:27
platinums the Linus Edition memory these are all the dead Linus Edition memory
5:32
some whoops well that's the living one but might be dead now some crucial
5:35
ballistics some Patriot memory all our Noctua fans that we use for our cooling
5:40
test bench which of course as you guys know these are nff 12s these are my
5:44
favorite fans um moving right along how
5:47
did this chair get even fit in here with all this stuff here okay I'm going to
5:51
move this out of the way of poor b-roll who's trying to oh right video card pile
5:56
so there's all the video cards pretty much every video card that's been released for the last couple Generations
6:00
is down there with the exception of the 7990 which is downstairs cuz I just
6:04
unboxed it then we've got the cable bin
6:07
which has every cable you could possibly imagine in it including some things that
6:11
are clearly not
6:15
cables has a cable attached to it mind you here's the pile of motherboards as
6:20
well as our standardized cooling test bench uh a wireless card for some reason
6:24
and a scale because the uh video production is clearly not the only kind
6:29
of of operation we're running out of here um that's a kitchen scale that is
6:34
not the other kind of scale all right then finally we've got a couch so slick
6:39
and I are going to probably we think we haven't actually finalized it but we
6:43
probably should because the stream's tomorrow uh are going to be using this
6:48
couch and this table and this CRT for
6:51
the live stream so you can see that even though this is a very small space in
6:55
fact you can go out there and sort of get some perspective for how how very
7:00
small this space happens to be we are planning to use it in the best way we
7:04
possibly can which of course is to uh
7:07
film as much stuff in here as as we can to make use of our new Linus Media Group
7:12
HQ we've also dug the couch Master out
7:15
of the moth balls which is the gaming desk thing so
7:20
this is our solution for how we're going to uh how we're going to keyboard mouse
7:25
things when we're when we're gaming or how we're going to run lap tops while
7:30
we're on the stream or whatever else see can set up my this is a W7 from Acer so
7:37
little tablet notebook combo thing so that could kind of go there and I think
7:42
that pretty much wraps it up guys stay tuned for more tours of the various
7:47
parts of our uh of our new HQ and don't forget to subscribe to L techtips more

7:58
ever done much vloggy style stuff like this and yeah like the video do all of
8:04
those things that are very very helpful for YouTubers like me and I guess he's
8:08
sort of a YouTuber now doesn't look like
8:11
one
