    I feel like having this type of power in a nice compact package will make it so I can reclaim space that is normally taken up by a normal tower, especially in applications where I don't need my full, beefy gaming rig.

    You know, I disagree. I'm getting a bit tired of everyone saying that the LG G3's resolution is pointless. I know Linus doesn't really care about it, but if you look at everyone's videos (MKBHD) about it, they all say that you *can* tell the difference side-by-side. I think once they can improve on battery life, QHD will be the new standard for ultra sharp smartphones.

    Love the pure power of this beast of a laptop!

    The G3 would be WORLDS better than my current S3. DEATH TO TOUCHWIZ!! But seriously, I think the screen will be awesome, and the LG UI actually looks decent.

    Well, it's not exactly a selfie, but I'm the one on the right. :)

    Anyone know if the H110 would fit in the NZXT Phantom? I guess I'm more leaning towards the H100i based on what you guys are saying, but still not quite sure.

    Hello, I want to upgrade from my current Air cooler to a pre-done liquid cooling kit. However, I'm not sure which one I should go for. I have an NZXT Phantom case. So, I've been looking at the Corsair H110 and the H100i. I'm not sure if the H110 would be compatible with my case, but if it is, it would be nice. Which one do you think would be better in terms of cooling and compatibility? Any different liquid coolers you would suggest? Thanks!

    Hello, I wanted to know, is it possible/advisable to mix different desktop memory kits together? For example, right now I have the Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 kit, with 2 4GB dimms at 1600MHz. Now I want to upgrade to a 16GB kit, probably the Corsair CMZ16GX3M2A1600C9, with 2 8GB 1600MHz dimms. I also have an Asus P7-P55 DE-PRO motherboard. So, I wanted to know, if I got the new kit, could I possibly install the new dimms along side my old ones to have a 20GB configuration? Or would that be inadvisable? I know typically you want to match kits if you're doubling them up, but if this would work, it would be pretty sweet. Thanks!

    Hey, I have a question regarding overclocking and the system memory. Now, I have an i5-750 running at 3.2GHz on a P7-P55 DE-PRO board. Currently, I have 8GB of RAM, using 2 4GB sticks. I've been doing more video editing using after effects and I want to step up to 16GB or 32GB of RAM. However, to do that, I would most likely need to purchase a 4 dimm kit, and thus fully populate the slots on my board. Will the adversely affect my ability to overclock my CPU? I don't really care about OC'ing my RAM (I'll probably buy and use a 1600MHz kit setting), but I still want to be able to overclock my CPU effectively, even past the settings I'm currently running on. So, is it ok to populate all of the slots? Thank you very much! -- Christophercolumbusdog

    Hey everyone. I have a question about my current audio solution and possible upgrade. Ok, so right now I'm running some Logitech Z623 speakers with an Asus XONAR DX sound card. I'm pretty satisfied with the overall audio quality, but I want something that could deliver some better general mid's and highs, but also give my some more bass power and sound (which would really be the main reason I would upgrade). Now, that being said, if I wanted to upgrade my sound, should I buy something like the Corsair SP2500 (Please don't just recommend a different 2.1 speaker package, because if I was going to buy a new one, I would do this.)? Or should I maybe just buy a home theater sub-woofer, hook it up to my sound card, and either have it run in tandem with or in replacement to my current sub? [h=1][/h] Thanks!!

    Hey everyone, So, I've been doing computer stuff for a while now, but I haven't really ventured in to much overclocking beyond the automatic options. So, has anyone had any experience with the P7P55D-E Pro? I know Linus has some videos for overclocking, but I'm still a bit confused as to which voltages to alter and how to fix it/recognize it if I push it too far... Any advice would help! Thanks!

    Oh, also, in general, what Sennheisers would have good bass? For around $100 to $150
  13. christophercolumbusdog
    Any Sennheiser would deliver good bass? Like I said, I want the best and richest bass I can get, free from the distortion of other noises, for the price.
  14. christophercolumbusdog
    I've no doubt that would give powerful bass, but would it necessarily have balance? (So the bass doesn't overpower everything else)
  15. christophercolumbusdog
    Oh, and ones (headphones) with a mic in-line get a +1, though it is certainly not a deal breaker.
  16. christophercolumbusdog
    Oh yes right, I forgot to mention, I really prefer headphones that are over-the-ear. Don't like the on-the-ear as much.
  17. christophercolumbusdog
    Hey everyone, I'm in the market for new some new audio paraphernalia, but I can't decide on specific headphones or ear-buds. My question is, Which is better for a music listening experience that involves a lot of bass heavy material (dub-step, Drum n' bass, and similar), headphones or ear-buds? Which one will give better audio quality in general? Better bass? Additionally, depending on which ones you pick would be best, do you have any recommendations for specific products? My price point is roughly a max of around $150, but with some leeway. Pretty much the order of feature importance is the following: COMFORT; high audio quality with nice, deep, rich, and "feel-able" (if that makes sense) bass; compatibility with both a phone and sound card; portability and color/appearance (good looking, not to bold or ugly color). Thank you so much! -- Christophercolumbusdog

    Hello, I know this is a weird question, but are Rocket and Rumble neutered? Does anyone know?

    It's still running. Not used often, but running...

    I've been a Linus fan for awhile. I think one of the first video's of his I saw was this: Kind of funny that I got into his videos after that, seeing as it wasn't his normal style. But it is extremely funny! :)

    As Slick and Linus were partly discussing on last night's live stream, I have to say Intel. AMD has been pretty stagnant in terms of gains in performance, while Intel is constantly pushing out very high performance CPU's that totally destroy most AMD CPU. However, I do think that in some circumstances AMD could be better (like in an ultra low budget rig). But, for the most part, if you're going for a gaming/performance PC, it's really not a contest...
  22. christophercolumbusdog
    Thank you all for your input! Much appreciated!
  23. christophercolumbusdog
    Wow, great! Thanks. Oh and just on a side note because the picture made me curious, what is the thing in the 5.25 in bay that has 3 tubes running to it?

    Hey guys, So, at some point in the (hopefully) near future I'm looking at doing my first true custom water cooling loop. However, I have yet to really decide on the case. Now, I know Linus likes SilverStone stuff and doesn't necessarily like the plastic with the NZXT cases, but I really like the look/interior of NZXT cases (I have a NZXT Phantom with is pretty awesome!). So my question is, has anyone here had experience building a system and doing water cooling in the NZXT Switch 810? Is it a good case/good for water cooling? I also may consider the Phantom 820, but I like the switch. When I do build the system, I'm probably going to be looking at doing a triple or quad radiator, and possibly more a secondary single or double rad. Thoughts? Ideas? Comments? Thanks! -- Christophercolumbusdog

    May I recommend the Corsair CX750M (http://ncix.com/products/?sku=78574&vpn=CP-9020061-NA&manufacture=Corsair). It's modular, has good efficiency, and is under 100 when not even on sale. Most any Corsair power supplies would be fine. The AX and HX are the higher end ones, but any like I said, Corsair is an awesome brand in general.
