yes, make sure it works 
 
if you want to play high FPS get a better CPU, your CPU is a bottleneck at 1080p. 

So youre still contributing to the cause like everyone else is

no need to be hateful  
im sure people looking into curecoin would love a guide from someone who actually has experience rather than just a standard tutorial saying "do this, do that, there you go"

So this ended up being a much longer gap than any of us had planned. If there's one issue with doing large scale sponsored builds it's that you have to deal with a lot of different timescales and schedules, so they do have a habit of dragging on a bit.

But that said, I do have a proper update for you all!


First of all, I'd like to welcome a new sponsor into the fray, Hexagon PCs! They kindly offered to supply the sleeving for Argentum, and some special stuff it is indeed.

The next big bit of news is that the fourth Titan X has finally surfaced , it's been a long time coming but this build at last has the stated number of GPUs present. Sadly that doesn't mean all too much right now though as we're still missing, well, almost everything else. Hey, good things come to those who wait.

And lastly, and probably most interestingly, we have some PHYSICAL PROGRESS! Somehow the guys at Parvum Systems managed to find some time in the run up to i55 to cut the test block for the motherboard. This is a vital piece as it allows me to work out exactly what works and what doesn't with the design. For the most part it actually fits perfectly, there are only a couple small changes that I need to make to have it all functioning well. We didn't want to commit to copper until we're 100% sure that it's going to work right.


Going for silver, white and a darker grey

 
 
Finally 4 GPUs present in real life!

Fan controllers
 
What, your motherboard doesn't have fan headers? YOU WANT TO MANUALLY SET YOU FAN SPEEDS CONSTANTLY?

plugged it in to see if shit was still the same from last night... but it flashed the stock red / white colours.. and the key strokes were being recognized.
At first it would constantly mash F11 without me doing anything, chrome was not happy going in and out of full screen. that stopped, started checking the keys, and every now and then it would do something like dshnfujdh randomly, but then that stopped. went through colours of the leds, and certain ones would mess up randomly, if i set everything to white, a few would go yellow... all green, a few (but different keys from before) would go blue.... cycled through colours a bit until they all worked..
 
I just got incredibly lucky with this
 
this all happened ~10 minutes ago, and im typing on it now.
 
Its been around 30c here the past few days, i guess this is one time that im happy for the heat.

No Displayport, sadly enough.

Meh, the h440 really isn't that good. It looks pretty nice and is quiet, but has pretty bad airflow. 

Hi all, I'm the moderator over on http://reddit.com/r/Linus_Tech_Tips (come visit us if you're a redditor!) and one of our members had a great post...
 
 
Forget the firepole, install a twisty slide!

Linus has already given us his thoughts on firepoles, and his reasons are justified. There is another option though...
A slide!
Reasons a slide is better than a firepole:
-Less dangerous (slides are used at playgrounds)
-Less work to use (firepoles hurt your hands and you have to hold on tight straining your muscles)
-Less expensive (firepoles cost $150,000)
-Custom color (pick any color unlike firepoles)
Here's what the office could look like with a slide
