I recommend the 8Bitdo Sn30 Pro+ : https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-Sn30-Pro-Bluetooth-Gamepad-Sn/dp/B07T8JKVNT/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=sn30%2Bpro&qid=1569304887&s=gateway&sr=8-3&th=1
 
It has detachable hand grips, can be used with android, switch or pc, and is pretty comfortable IMO

Hey guys! I realize that many people on this forum have been subscribed to Linus for a long time, and I think we all have some videos that we all really enjoyed back when he was just starting. Figured why not make a thread where we talk about and  post our favorite videos from Linus that are over 2 years old?
 
This one has to be one of my favorite videos by Linus:

I guess Linus has found a use for that Canon XA20 

If insurance doesn't cover it I wonder if it would be possible for the PC hardware communities on youtube (Hardware Canucks, Linus, TekSyndicate, etc.) To make a 48 hour live stream where each youtube channel takes a shift and plays some games. If done correctly I'm sure that the community can raise a couple grand to help him. 
Hell, I promise to donate 20 dollars myself if this is done.
The money made from the stream could go to giving him some money to cover rent for a month or two, some new clothes/food, and possibly some lower-end studio equipment that he can use to make videos to get some revnue to get back on his feet. If I were you guys I would go and watch some of his older videos, I'm sure the ad revenue would greatly help him right now.

My wife and I live in a basement apartment in Canada. Here we have to buy "content" insurance, not the Landlords. But at least it's cheap.
 
Not sure if it's different where Austin lives. Really hope he was covered.

for no reason that i can can work out those bulldozer quad cores get very hot while not drawing too much power (or performing as good as hoped)
my friends got a 4100, it can be a bios thing where the current bios applied a load of voltage (bulldozer might be relatively new to your board) and that voltage creates heat, the stock coolers are usually pretty good, they have a solid copper core, in fact i swiped my friends and replaced with a smaller temporary one seeing as hes going to get an AIO anyway...
essentially get it apart and re do the thermal paste job, just a BB sized blob in the center of the cpu and reattach the heatsink, make sure you plug the cpu fan in the right header, ive plugged it into a 12v system fan header lots of times.
then load it up and monitor temps with core temp and voltages, post a screenshot if you like itll give us a better chance of spotting it.
1-if the voltage is too high well assume its a bios thing and you need to put the voltage down/update the bios.
2-if the voltage seems fine and for some reason its jsut running hot.....buy a hyper 212 evo, but lets see if we can avoid expenses for now.

edit, also you might have it set in the bios to have the max cpu temp as 50 degrees or something, so the board will do whatever it can and ramp the fan up in vain trying to stop it ever nearing 50 degrees (or farenheit equivilant)

i use speccy, core temp, hwmonitor and cpu-z (rog edition) to monitor temps, voltage and clock speed, from that you get a good idea of what votlage the cpu gets when to go how fast. give it a try

He was probably testing the upcoming nvidia cards.
 
Too soon? Yeah, probably. I'm a bad person.

I gotta pair sitting right next to me. (Friends pair, we do headphone swaps often enough and I thought I would go for his HD439's for once.) 
They isolate well enough, and sound good enough, coming from using $500 headphones, they are a nice product that I would buy if I was in the market. 
Detachable cable means that they will last for a long time since you can get swap on the biggest POF.

amd and nvidea are both loud. its the after market groups that make it quiet personally i think asus make quieter coolers
