    i got an ultrawide for productivity, and it does that very well. i'm considering a different monitor for gaming some time in the future because ultrawide support is so limited and i dislike playing in windowed mode

    You can just run games at 1080p full screen for perfect scaling, or in a 1440p window

    Youtube 4k is not a good measure of 4k

    4k > 21:9 any day for the extra vertical pixels.

    Videos in 21:9 ratio is even more difficult to find
     
    1440p ultrawide is only good if you want more desktop space. It's not like games will perform at the two resolutions any better than the other since it's a 1060 after all.

    I don't know about external enclosures for M.2 drives but if all you need to do is back up data that's on it then you can buy PCI_e daughter boards that you install the drive on then install in a PCI_e slot.

    Pittman90 reacted to JoostinOnline in M.2 NVME Exclosure help   
    They don't make them.  I'm fairly certain that it would only work on a Thunderbolt connection anyway.  The NVMe protocol runs on a PCIe interface (as opposed to AHCI, which runs on a SATA interface).

    If you have a desktop,this is your best bet https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=1Z5-0018-00020&cm_re=m.2_adapter-_-1Z5-0018-00020-_-Product
    Remove the m.2 drive from laptop,plug it into the adapter,then plug it into the mobo and back up the data.

    I really want the 1060 tho, and right now this is the only laptop that has a 1060 and looks good, I will just throw a dbrand skin on it and it looks like a black macbook lol, the dell xps 15 is another choice because it looks professional and that amazing screen but it only has a 1050

    There are plenty of good boards, the ASUS one is great, that is the brand I personally stick with. If you don't want to watercool than maybe something like a Noctua D15 or Cryrorig R1, but those are pretty huge and for not much more money you can get a decent AIO

    Pittman90 reacted to TetraSky in Rant channel on floatplane?   
    I like listening to Linus rant about stuff.
    But he would need to censor himself. Otherwise if he just goes on a rant on say, manufacturer X and then said manufacturer sees that rant(because you just know people will go to social media and blast that company based on his rant, because stupidity) and decides that it doesn't appreciate being the target of said rant, may blacklist Linus from receiving further products.
     
    So really, just keep the rants on WAN show when needed, instead of making dedicated rant videos about whatever grinds his gear at the time. Will be better for the future of LTT.

    Pittman90 reacted to AkiraDaarkst in POLL: Do you keep your PC on the floor or desk?   
    If my PC is good and behaves, I keep it inside.  But if it behaves badly, I put it out side until it learns its lesson.  I like my PC's housebroken and obedient.

    Pittman90 reacted to Oshino Shinobu in Ram advice   
    I would hope they're not known for faulty RAM as they're a pretty big supplier of DRAM. If they were faulty, a lot of other brands would be faulty as they use SK Hynix chips. 
     
    Basically, they're trusted. 
     
    EDIT: Remember that big fire in 2013 that caused a hike in RAM prices due to a big supplier losing fabrication factories? That was SK Hynix, they're a major player ($13.3 Billion revenue in 2013)
     
    EDIT 2: Just to really drive my point  SK Hynix is the second largest chipmaker after Samsung.
