sli and crossfire support is basically nonexistent these days.

forgot to flip the psu power switch , tore down all the wiring i worked on for 4 hours only to realize what id done. 

more cores per socket , more sockets per rack space = more money saved in that sense 

Don't refer to it as hacking. The industry doesn't use that term either, it will be something like system security analyst. It's basically the same thing, but doesn't have the misunderstanding or stigma that "hacker" does. 
 
If you'er interested in testing system security as a profession, you'll want to learn about system security, encryption and low level operating system design to get a proper understand of how it works and where the vulnerabilities lie. If you try to jump into learning to "hack", you'll find you're just copying commands that someone else has come up with and you won't understand how or why something can be exploited and how it can be fixed. 
 
EDIT: As for whether ehtical hacking/white hat hacking is good. It's an essential part of the development process for pretty much all computer systems. If there's no security testing on say, a new banking platform, then potential security exploits which could result in unauthorised access to accounts could be in the released product. 
 
EDIT2: As for whether it can do any harm. That really depends on what you're using it for. The difference between black and white hat isn't the methods, it's how it's used. A white hat hacker's job is to basically act as a black hat hacker, but under a controlled, legal and pre-agreed environment for an employer. 
 
Grey hat hackers are generally black hat hackers, typically with a moral message or otherwise trying to do something they consider good. In the eyes of the law, they'll generally be considered black hats though. 

Just started playing, only have the F-15C for now, but thinking about buying the A-10. Still learning and its quite a steep learning curve, so Im probably going to wait with the A-10 until Im comfortable in the F-15. Would love to find someone to learn and fly with, if anyone is up just shoot me a PM!

something something legally supposed to support it for 5 years after release

TBF I really like the Razer blade lineup,  My only experience was actually kind of nice as a friend of mine wanted one and I helped them replace the shite paste and undervolted it.  It was a toaster before then, not a cool thing from manufacturer to overlook.  
 
In terms of Razer  peripherals I avoid them like the plague.  For  the same cost as a Chroma V2 I can nearly get a K95 platinum with actual Cherry MX switches.  A high  end Razer mouse costs  significantly more than a really nice Corsair mouse that has much better construction and for the same price I can get an MX master, also known as the nicest mouse in the universe

I've seen processors have temperature spikes like what OP is describing. Like for example, I just loaded up Google Earth and some of the cores spiked up by 10C.
 
It's likely the fan controller that person had is too zealous about when to adjust the fans.

either the stick , or the mem slot

These types of threads are better suited as a status update.

you've more then likely cut some traces , dead indeed from that. plus warranty wont cover that damage. good luck.

My guess is they learnt how to use a screw driver in prison. On the outside screw drivers are operated with a turning motion, not so much for stabbing

I want to see his keyboard being hit with a hammer, by Luke dressed as a 9ft dildo, with the backing music being Will Smith - Getting Jiggy with it.
 
 

Lmao mail him a plaque that says 'Linus, CEO' on one side and 'Linus, Head Asshole' on the other

it would be head asshole (jk , ceo) 

Chief asshole maybe sounds even better.
 
We love you Linus, but not as much as we love making fun of you.

I own both, the 980 Ti is faster than my 1070. I got the 980 Ti used back in the summer for $350 / $330 for the 1070. I have both overclocked and the 980 Ti does win out in almost everything except 3DMark (only by a slim amount of points though). In rendering / actual work, the 980 Ti beats the1070 with a larger gap due to more CUDA cores.
 
I'd actually be upset if I had paid more for the 1070. I however, use my GPUs for work, so I have very little idea on the gaming performance difference between the two (I don't own many games at all except for some PS4 port RPGs on steam...even on that, the 980 Ti pulls ahead).
 
If you're looking for a 980 Ti, I'd look at used or EVGA's B-Stock when they have a sale. I saw a 980 Ti go for $300 when they had a B-Stock holiday last month.
 
The reason you see the 980 Ti losing to the 1070 in most benchmarks is because they are at stock speeds. Most 980 Tis overclock really well, and with the gap in CUDA cores, they make up for the 600MHz reduction in clock speed vs the 1070 also overclocked.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure an overclocked 980ti will generally beat an overclocked 1070. I would rather own the 980ti TBH.

Does that mean the USB Killer would install Norton onto a device running Kaby lake instead of killing it? The horror!

your more apt to hear all the bad more then all the good , as the saying goes the squeeky wheel gets the grease. i have an x99 build and its flawless.

used the stuff msi had downloaded it cant remember what program it was called , used the auto tune crap 12v of magic smoke and smell later. this was not too long after x99 came out . might still have the video of it nuking a 5820k . msi didnt think it was possible till i gave them the link . they might of fixed it but they didnt seem to care much at all .

did some 5ghz runs with my 4790k on my new mobo

To the Linus Media Group Team
 
I guess this is a long time listener, first time caller situation. The recent changes to Linus tech tips have made me want to comment and reach out to the LMG team to let them know how they're doing from a long time viewer's perspective

First of all I want to congratulate what Linus and his team has achieved over the years, I've been watching LTT for probably around 5 years now and I've seen them progress from random outdoor unboxings to the bookcase set and from the iconic kitchen to the amazing office you guys have built. I'm sure many people on this forum and the millions of viewers you've gathered over the years on you tube appreciate what you have done for the community in terms of inspiring interest in the computer industry, creating entertaining tech related content and being a source of excellent LTT goofs and gaffs. 

I'm writing this post today because for the first time in my 5 years of watching I feel your team has changed parts of LTT in a way that goes against what I feel is the 'LTT identity', My intention is not to offend anyone who works on the content of the videos, I understand the incredible amount of work that goes into LTT and the fantastic drive your team puts into improving the content everyday. Any forum members who feel the same or have their own opinion are free to comment below, the more perspective we have as a community, the better the direction LTT will go in in the future.
 
Here are the points of change that don't seem to gel with what LTT should be.
 
1. Thumbnails
The idea of refreshing the thumbnails to a new style is an attractive one, however I find that they stand out less than the old huge white text on photo style. The new thumbnails look like they are suited for an 'indie' tech channel, and I feel less compelled to click on them. The biggest problem I have with the new thumbnails is that they're incredibly clickbait-ey and somewhat unpleasing to have show up in my sub feed.
Here is an example of a clickbait thumbnail

Watching the video you'll see that there was no water involved, Luke wore the lab coat for only 3 seconds of the video for the sake of the thumbnail. and the entire content of the video was just swapping a HDD for an SSD in a laptop.
Most of your viewers could see this thumbnail was completely off topic and misleading. 
 
Here is an example of an unpleasant thumbnail

Now I know this is meant to be some sort of a joke, but do you guys really think your viewers enjoy having images of Linus' crotch with a banana shopped into it popping up on their feed. I fancy myself as a mature person, and I frankly don't want to see such a crude thumbnail like that showing up. I ,however, don't mind if you pop these sort of jokes inside the video. 
(some of you may argue that theres worse stuff on youtube but we arent comparing LTT to those cancerous channels, we are comparing LTT to what LTT have done great before)
 
I think many of us would prefer if you switched back to the old style of thumbnails, it used to be a case of insta-click when i saw that iconic thumbnail, now I find i'm scrolling past these new videos without realising i'm missing a video from my favorite tech youtuber.
 
 
2. Video content
The first part of this pointer is in regards to the scripting of the videos, both Linus and Luke feel more like they're reading off a script, which i know they've always done but you can tell the scripts don't feel as natural as they could be. Linus doesnt really speak like himself when he's reading another persons script, and its very obvious when you see how Linus presents at CES vs the scripted office reviews. I find that linus is far more entertaining when he's relying on his natural presenting abilities rather than reading off a prompter and I'm sure other people feel this too due to the demand that linus bring back his old unboxing style or film more seasons of scrapyard wars because there's this charm that linus has when he's freeballing a video and that charm is what we all subscribed for. BTW I've thoroughly enjoy all the CES content this year so and I really appreciate the hard work that goes to covering that show. 

The second part is the strange content that been posted on LTT. The quality of the content in the video seems unfiltered, videos such the recent DIY Waterproofing video which was a fail was still posted and it just feels like
"oh we've already filmed it so we might as well post it" The only real Linus tech tip we got from those videos is to not do what linus does and we all know that already. But on a more serious note, the video wasn't that informative and I feel like I wasted 11 minutes. It would be greatly appreciated if the videos were somewhat curated so the viewers actually get something out of it.
 
This being said, the LTT team is still doing great content, all the CES videos, Weirdest $h!t you bought on amazon, macbook pro review and DIY desk PC are examples of the great content we know and love (they also happen to have more views) My point is that I wish the content would be consistently good and the team would leave out the less than informative videos.  
 
Asides from those two points, I think the team is doing a hell of a job. I'm not sure if anyone  on the team will actually see this message but hopefully the community agrees and the message gets somewhere.
 
Thank you for reading my post and perspectives, feel free to add your own points.
