Go back to the old Guide styles!

[niofalpha]

Hi, iv'e been rewatching the build guides, and I noticed... The 4K rig, and the surround videos are really rushed! I personally like a detailed explanation of each piece of hardware. The same goes for the OC guide. The 4790K/ Pentium K OC guide's was 1/2 the time as the previous Haswel Overclocking guide.

 

Don't mean to be hating, just feed back. The guides are still amazing.

 

This is probably in the wrong section, and I apologize.

Haswell refresh overclocking was shorter because it was pretty much the same method for original guide except 1 or 2 differences.

Why do we always get these complaints of "GO BACK TO HOW YOU USED TO DO THINGS BECAUSE...BECAUSE" all the time?

 

• If you want a detailed list of information about the products chosen, go to their respective videos and watch.
• Overclocking is pretty much the same on all platforms with minute details being slightly different. Overclocking between Haswell and Haswell Refresh is exactly the same, you want more information then go watch the original video

I personally like the length of all LTT videos. There not too short, but not too long either

I actually miss the 45 min build guides that detailed ever step. Seeing a bunch of carefully selected parts being put together into a beast computer and being along for the ride every step of the way...

Well now i'm nostalgic. I remember when linus did the green watercooling build on NCIX. Still one of my favorites.

[ForsakenLive]

That's because there was nothing new to talk about, Linus has been doing build guides since NCIX, even high end/water cooled stuff. If there is something new to talk about, then he will give a more detailed guide.

Haswell overclocks the same on all versions, so there is no point on re-doing those guides. And for the detailed parts, stuff like installing a CPU on a motherboard still hasn't changed, so again, go back and watch the old stuff if you need more instruction, as soon as a new methods appear, Linus will make a long complete guide for them.

They did tease a mineral oil cooled computer on a WAN Show awhile back. So when he does this i'm sure he will do a full length build guide. We might even get one for a x99 build.

Are you looking for a beginners guide on how to build a PC? 

[terrytek]

So, speaking of guides, has Linus even released a how to build a PC guide at all 2H this year?

[LinusTech]

Yeah we released one a couple weeks ago

[ShadowCaptain]

Yeah we released one a couple weeks ago

 

 

These 2 came out in the last few weeks, I am not sure exactly what Linus could cover more.... he explains the hardware choice, and how to install the components

 

There is no point in him spending 40 minutes telling you what a CPU is, or why a computer needs RAM, that is far beyond the scope for a basic build guide, individual components for your own build should be researched and selected according to your own needs and budget, all these guides are for is how to put the hardware together, which is arguably the part that puts newbies off the most

And he should also do a water cooling guide that's pretty up to date as of last month at least. The one from the beginning of the year is great, but people are starting to lose intrest.

I guess but for the few people doing custom loops the information is either basically the same, or they will go looking for it

 

99% of people who buy or build pcs do not need it (some might find it interesting I agree but personally I have  no interest)

I guess... But there are a few who swim upstream and go the watercooling route. But yeah, essentially installation is the same. But I do like seeing watercooling loops being assembled.

I guess its pretty niche, but also time consuming and expensive, I doubt many companies are going to send linus full loops to assemble

 

Maybe I dunno I like seeing them sometimes but normally I just skip over those videos or watch them if nothing else is happening

I dunno either.

I built my first custom water cooling loop 6-7 years ago. Nothing's really changed in that time period. Rads are the same, you should still get a d5 pump, use decent fans. The good block companies are still good.

Only thing that's different is hard tubing. Linus has said before that due to how often he changes parts flexible tubing is more practical. See his video on Putting an original Titan in his personal rig for this.

I wouldn't mind a guide on hard acrylic tubing though.

Hell maybe one of the companies can send him some for one of his water cooled office computers and we could get a build guide out of it.

Nah, I just feel like the newer one's are a bit rushed. Just would prefer them too be a bit longer, and such.

 

Why? Because I get bored and I rewatch the build guides allot, and it would just feel a a bit more detailed, and more entertaining. 

 

I get it would be more time consuming (Actually, even just less Time Lapsing would extend it allot, and theoretically make it slightly less work for the Editors.).
