    DarkBlade2117 got a reaction from JupiteL in LTT's exclusive RX Vega teaser makes tech press unhappy   
    No, I'd be unhappy because Linus videos are for more of a comedic effect now and even when he tries to be serious he always fucks up somehow. Couldn't tell you the last time I watched a LTT product review. They're all trash

    LTT's reviews since they moved their offices have turned to trash - even Linus with how own mouth said he's producing entertainment and not reviews
    and it's quite baffling how a ginormous amount of floatplaners are new forum posters

    Sadly I have to agree.
     
    When threadripper details emerged a couple of days ago, I watched for details on it on Paul's Hardware and Hardware Unboxing, not Linus, even though the videos both showed up in my feed.
     
    Every time Linus tries to explain something nowadays, it just gets lost in the silly puns and "comedic effect" sidejokes (haha not funny though). Meanwhile, outfits like Paul's hardware and Jayz2cents actually focus on the core of the matter, trying to explain all these confusing product launches (because who can keep up with how many cores / threads each processor has and which motherboard it has nowadays, with X299, theadripper, Ryzen 3, etc all launching at the same time!).
     
    I am increasingly dissapointed in Linustechtips content. I just avoid it now sadly.

    "Poor volta" And the fact that Vega is only meant to tackle a 1080 a year after launch and Volta isn't that long away, is a joke.

    I really love watching Hardware Canucks, I'll likely never most cases he's reviewed and I don't agree with some of his cases. He is what got me to buy a Silent Base 800, which IMO he gave far more credit then what it deserved.

    Idk about you... But I don't think Kaby has that big of an advantage over Skylake... Actually, last I checked the better performance of baby solely came down to the higher stock clocks.

    DarkBlade2117 got a reaction from genexis_x in M.2 Drives..   
    Some M.2 SSDs are Sata, meaning they are limited to Sata 3 speeds. Some are NVMe, meaning they are limited to the speed of whatever is advertised

    DarkBlade2117 got a reaction from Sacriledgy in ULTIMATE RGB PC Build Guide   
    Oh yes, the 805 Infinity. A case with usability that is a 0 and looks are a 10 as long as you are only looking at the front.
    Those poor 1070s are going to be starved
    Oh my, I am actually cringing. Why'd you even put fans in the front? It is completely solid, there is NO AIRFLOW in the front of the case.
     
    I want to see a video of you stress testing it with the AIO in the front. The top 1070 is getting no air, the AIO if set to exhaust isn't exhausting anything and isn't intaking anything. The only reasonable places to put fans in this case are the bottom and the back. Top and front are solid. I am actually quite  curious as to how this would work with what I can assume the only exhaust being that rear fan and the only intake being those bottom 2 fans. The bottom 1070 might be fine but then again, it isn't putting that heat anywhere

    Backblaze is super unreliable. The failure rate for those weren't nearly that high and I've owned 3 Seagate drives, my only problem? They are noisy. 
    Anyways... I suggest this

    Hey! Same situation as me! Can you PSU handle power hungry cards? (note not every card I mention will be power hungry) AMD HD 5970, 6950, 6970, 7870, 7870 Ghz Edition or nvidia GTX 480, 570, 580, 650 Ti Boost, 660 can all be had for $20-$60
