Been literal years since I last shared my builds on the LTT forums so here's the upgrades they got for 2022. My main PC this year was upgraded to a 5800x3d from a 2700x. I upgraded the PSU and GPU last year. The PSU went from a 760watt Platinum to a 850watt Titanium Seasonic, and the GPU went from a RTX 2080 to a RTX 3080. The case is a NZXT Tempest and I love how much expansion room it has only downside is the gray interior. Specs: R7 5800x3d 32gb 3600mhz CL16 RAM MSI RTX 3080 Gaming Z 850watt 80+ Tianium Seasonic PSU Asus Crosshair 8 Hero Wifi X570 Motherboard Creative Soundblaster XFi Titanium Fatal1ty Sound Card NZXT Tempest Case 512gb 970 Evo Plus for boot 512gb Inland Professional for games 5tb 5900rpm Seagate for storage 3tb 7200rpm Seagate for whatever Monitors are a Dell 165hz 1440p 24in and a old Alienware 60hz 1080p I think 20in panel. Keyboard is a cheap Corsair unit and the mouse is a Roccat Kone Pure mouse. For sound I use a cheap Creative Labs 2.1 speaker set and a basic pair of Hyper X headphones. The mic I use is a Samson Meteorite that never wants to work. The spare PC used to be a old iBuyPower PC that I got at the flea market and I rebuilt it with the old CPU and PSU from my main PC in a new Fractal Meshify C case. The old case was a NZXT Phantom.

The fact they transition so smoothly between each sponsor spot is kinda scary even if the whole video and script was doing sponsor things.

I can't put my finger on it but something feels different, definitely not the font, totally looks normal.

That video just keeps getting weirder and weirder

I wonder how far intel and amd can tune their mobile chips in terms of efficiency to compete with apple, actually really curious how well the intel E cores work

Intel already went hybrid architecture but apple clearly has the advantage in performance per watt. This is an interesting thing to think about what they may do.

Ah didn't see that oh well

Says it was running til December 11th not sure why the doc is closed

The google doc is borked, also seeing people discussing CPU folding, that's pretty much all I do other then sometimes on my laptop's RTX 2060

WOW it's been forever since I was last on here so may as well post some build updates with my newer machines Main rig, this is the main machine I use at home: 2700x CPU 32gb 3200mhz CAS14 RAM Gigabyte X570 Gaming Ultra Motherboard Gigabyte RTX 2080 OC GPU Soundblaster XFi Titanium Fatal1ty sound card 512gb 970 Evo Plus M2 SSD, 270gb Crucial SSD, 3tb HDD Seasonic Prime Platinum 760watt PSU Old NZXT Tempest case Secondary rig, I keep this one at my parents house it's made out of mostly old parts with exception of the GPU and case: i7 5820k 16gb 2400mhz CAS 16 RAM Asus X99 TUF Sabertooth Motherboard EVGA GTX 1660 Super 512gb Inland M2 SSD, 512gb Tigo SSD, 2tb 2.5in Seagate SSHD 750watt Seasonic PSU Cooler Master NR600 case Spare PC, my old Alienware I keep on the side for when I need a extra PC: Alienware X51 i7 3570 16gb 1600mhz RAM GTX 660 OEM Dell 1.5gb DDR5 1tb HDD 330watt external Dell power brick

Just has a ice blue to it and the Snow Leopard is my favorite animal, the desktop wallpaper and mouse pad are Snow Leopard pics. Also it's my favorite animal so my main PC is named after it.

Definitely on the list of things to do to fix the GPU sag, also that Snow Leopard background is just one I found online that I pulled from a google search it fits the build and my mouse pad I have on that desk, also it's my favorite animal.

I can probably get something to move the ITX PC onto but the smaller ATX PC on the white desk the desk has a set of drawers down the area under where the PC sits so it's impossible to center it out. Those 2 setups anyway aren't really setups I do more then play the PC on if I need space I'll either use the main PC desk or move somewhere else.

I only reason I have that case for the Snow Leopard PC is because it's my favorite one I like how the outside looks just the inside is dated in the way it looks. Also thanks I try to keep stuff as clean as possible.

So it's been a while since I last posted so why not start with some build updates: Snow Leopard PC First is my main rig: I completely redid it switching from X370 to X99 for some more IO and it was the only board I had with the ability to control all 6 fans the case has. I also got a newish (it was never used) NZXT Tempest case for the build as I just fell in love with how the case looked from the outside although the internals of the case are a bit dated with the grey metal look.

I already did everything to the best of what I feel looks nice but I want some opinions and suggestions for improvement other then the millions of wires under the main desk I know I have to tidy that up. I'm also looking for suggestions on upgrades for the setups and PCs too.

Wonder if it would be possible to squish it to $300??

I don't think the AMD APUs and GPUs are compatible with the DRM that they have for 4k netflix from what I looked up you need either a Nvidia 10xx series GPU with 3+gb of VRAM or a Intel Kabylake or higher chip

I want to build a HTPC for streaming 4k Netflix and YouTube. I would usually make the part list myself but this is turning out to be extremely difficult to do. My budget is max $300 to do this and it has to be small enough to fit on the TV stand or next to the TV stand. Also it would need to have WiFi too and the router is a newer 802.11 AC dualband router so a good WiFi card would have plenty of bandwidth to play with. What do you guys think I should do????

Are they selling out with Intel for this?????? PS I'm just joking

Nice I used to have 750ti in my first build

Well I have a i5 kabylake system and I feel it's going to last me quite a few years because think of how long dual cores lasted with a few of the very popular games still being playable on a dual core so think on how that will happen with quad cores they are so popular dating back on the intel consumer platform to the Core 2 Quads (which still can play games with medium to high settings with a lower midrange GPU) and due to the popularity developers will take that into mind just as they did with dual cores not too long ago. EDIT: PS developers are still just started intergrating support for more cores and some still even with 6-8 core CPUs being more abundant don't even take advantage of that.
