  1. Someone's a little salty today.

    I've been following ltt for years now, z since it's inception as ncixtt. So I'd be willing to say I am an "original viewer", I find nothing wrong with what they're doing lately. He's certainly come a long way since he was tearing open boxes in a tiny office or outside in a courtyard in front of ncix. That's not a bad thing, the videos are more entertaining, and still contain helpful knowledge. They're also considerably more professional, as side from the occasional audio loop, unedited broll, or unremoved footnote

     

    Yes salty.

    Of course LTT has improved the quality of their content, staple of their modern day success, it does not change the fact that it's obnoxiously obvious that the better part of their content now is a mere cash-grab, the sheer number of commercials per video/stream is a prime example. (And i don't blame them, it works)

     

    Hell any trained monkey can throw together an identical machine in 11:00minutes.

    That machine deserve no recognition aside from the money put into it.

     

    A prime example of planning, the whole room water cooling prodject, months went into the planning & building. Something that should be been undertaken with this.

     

    end rant.

  2. Them spending $10k on a PC in a money grab? yup, makes sense...

     

    You don't think they already had the components to make it?

    Any true enthusiasts would relish the opportunity to make such a build, they wouldn't half-hazardously slap it together in 11:00 minutes i assure you.

  3. Linus + Luke. You built a $10,000 Machine in 11:00minutes. Pathetic.

     

    A typical Linus slap-together machine to drive Youtube Views & Likes through the roof.

     

    No thought was even present during this video, the lack of style, color choices, cooling all went out the window.

    Combined you are supposed to represent a passion for technology, and yet we are inundated with countless garbage machines to spike your Youtube revenue.

     

    It's becoming more apparent by each video, each WAN Stream and each obnoxious $10,000 machine that you have lost touch with your original viewer base and now solely driven by cash.

     

    Go back to your roots Linus & Luke, take the time to build something with passion & purpose.

     

    Done.

     

  4. INTO THE SHADOWS

    Introduction

    Welcome to another buildlog. I intend to ensure this build is a sleek as possible, Black is the theme, without an ounce of color intended.

    I'll be re-using older parts from my existing builds to keep the cost down and choosing parts from an older generation for ease of use and aesthetic reasons.

     

    I intend to paint a large number of components, including the motherboard heatsinks, nothing that hasn't already been done, although a nice touch on a build focused around the single color.

    Stay tuned as i work with flexible tubing, something that is almost a lost art in the wake of hard tubing, black coolant and sleek lines.

  5. I'm now accepting multiple entries for the same user, with the following conditions.

     

    You may submit multiple entries providing you are either

    • Benching the same card with Dual, Tri or Quad SLI Setup's
    • Benching a different card than your first submission.

    Which means you'll be able to have multiple entries in the Top 30 with Multiple Cards or SLI Setups.

     

    EG - I Own a GTX Titan & GTX 680 so both are eligible for the Single GPU Top 30 as they are different cards.

  6. Overclocking

    Been pushing my Titan to it's absolute limits the past few weeks, getting close to it's limits.

    This is my main reasoning for the push towards my 4770k - Currently it's being used within my HTPC build although I'm highly tempted to make the switch.

     

    I've flashed the GTX Titan with "Skynet v2 1006 vBIOS" and pushed this card using MSI AB & Zar voltage modifications.

    Ranked 7th Single GPU on OCN & #1 On LTT - I believe with the 4770k switch i can push even higher up the ladder.
