Chris.W reacted to RainColt in Wan show backpack sponsor?
I'm looking for a backpack for school and I'm wondering what brand Linus showed off on the wan show. I remember it having a orange inner liner

A perfect example of his brand of trolling.

Chris.W reacted to LinusTech in August 31 2018 - WAN Show Document
Riley and I have known each other for almost 8 years and we've worked together in some capacity for over half of that time.
He asked to review a graphics card as a total joke. That's not his forte and he's perfectly comfortable with that. Even back at NCIX Tech Tips (as he mentioned on the WAN Show today) he got Ivan's help with a lot of the benchmarking stuff. Big deal.
You also need to understand that he's not some intern who isn't sure about his job security or his skills. Evaluating gaming cards may not be one of them but who cares? That's not what he was hired to do.
Riley was brought in as a specialist for TechLinked.
Something you guys might also not realize is that Riley is perfectly comfortable dishing out his share of trolling off-camera - even if he's not sure where the limits are yet with the live audience.
If LMG was a horrible place to work and anyone actually took me seriously about this stuff, we'd probably have a little more turnover, don't you think? These are very talented people who could get a job tomorrow if they felt like it.
We tease each other, but it's part of having some fun at work instead of being all corporate.
I messaged Riley to tell him people were upset at the way he was treated on the WAN Show and to make sure he was okay and he had to go find the timestamps people were posting to see why he was supposed to be upset.
So it's probably worthwhile to try re-watching with all of that in mind..

Chris.W reacted to dazx in Honest Upgrade or wait.
I'm also running an E8400 along w/ 4gb RAM and a more recent GTX 650ti boost right now, I'm about to be doing a full upgrade this week since I've been feeling the system slowing down overall. I believe its time to let it go, it's been putting out everyday since '08 for me.

Chris.W reacted to TheHuckleberryWill in First build at 13
Hey, I was 13 when I built mine (Like 6 months ago XD). Watch plenty of tutorials, and read a lot too. Just try to build as much knowledge as you can, and don't be afraid to ask questions :P Also, when it comes to building it, don't rush, take it slow. If it doesn't work straight away, don't panic. Oh, and get the cables neat when you are building it!
Also, I run Windows 8, and love it. There are plenty of programs that add a "start menu" if you are desperate to have it, though you might find you like the modern UI.
Nice spec!

Chris.W reacted to XiaoPigs in "Water Cooled" Phone, anyone?
Phones don't get too uncomfortably hot anyways and besides what are you won't see any real world benefit with that extra bit of overclock. Besides won't it add like extra weight which would make it uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time?
Anyways it's a cool idea lol and thanks for sharing :)

Chris.W reacted to Chakshu in Worst Tech mistake you have ever made?
XFX 6200LE
As a child of 11 years saved my pocket money to play games at high detail. I had a P4 at 2.4 GHz.
Purchased the card. Card produced emmence heat around 90-120 degree celcius. Died in one week. XFX no warranty for burnt cards.
Was extremely sad.

Chris.W reacted to LinusTech in Worst Tech mistake you have ever made?
I spent about a hundred dollars kitting my rig out with silenx fans and a Swiftech mcx6400 or something (their extreme air cooling heatsink) only to discover that the cooler wasn't very good and silent fans were just rebranded normal fans lol

Destroying an 8 year old computer. Pretty simple it just starts beeping and nothing happens. And no, not the good beeps. i may have been modding it when it stopped working. Yet I still have a working 13 year old computer. I think I have a computer older than some people on this forums!

Chris.W reacted to MalcolmSex in Project Juiced: budget modded ITX build
Project Juiced:
My goal for this computer was to create a quiet pint-sized gaming PC that's easy to transport and is well rounded.
This was my first attempt at a few of these case mods, and overall I love the finished result.
The Parts:
-Bitfenix Prodigy Atomic Orange
-Asrock z77e-ITX
-i5 3570k
-Asus GTX660 DirectCUii OC
-8gb g.skill Sniper RAM 1866 cas9
-Antec Kuhler 620
-Corsair CX500 (although try and recognize it at the end)
-120gb OCZ Vertex 3
-ancient 120gb 7200rpm hard drive pulled from my grandma's dell (on it's way out)
-120mm Cougar Vortex HDB fans (x4)
- Corsai SP120 quiet edition fan
-1 generic bitfenix 120mm case fan
-1 240mm Phobya Brickly radiator grill
-Modsmart kobra sleeving
-Homedepot acrylic
-LED lighting cable that came with a BestBuy giftcard
-Silverstone 120mm dust filter
-3m 4010 tape
-u-channel
-Windows 8 Pro
Before I did any work:
I just love this case! I based my entire rig off of it and bought one on release day from us.ncix
I chose the asrock board of it's competitor from Asus due to aesthetics and $20. The asus board was blue and had that ugly board blocking my cables,
The finished product: (even though few custom PCs are ever "finished")
I was originally planning to drill 6 holes to the right of the grill and stick a fan controller behind it, then making a custom acrylic front panel. However, the controller looked too cluttered and I cracked the acrylic on the last cut :( so I gave up on the idea. I still think it looks fantastic.
A look inside:
I was going to pull out the power supply, but I forgot that I mounted the SSD with 3m 4010. That stuff is strong.
A few other details:
Here's the bottom of the power supply. Notice any changes?
Using some sleeving I made a quick fix to a USB delete
With the lights on:
These things were free! I just run a hidden usb cable through the top.
I hope you guys enjoyed seeing my build as much as I did making it. Feel free to ask me any questions below.
