Hey Everyone!  
 
We wanted to provide a quick update on CSF and our goals with this channel. If you already saw this post on Floatplane, its the same.  
 
2017 has been an insanely great year (as you've seen from all of the awesome content in the recent days, weeks, and months on LTT and TQ), but has also come with an insane amount of work. While we've grown our team to an incredible new level, none of us have taken our foot off the gas, and we're all pretty much as busy as (or busier than) we've ever been.  
 
This year, a big thing for us as been evaluating priorities and ensuring that the time we have is being spent optimally, and ensuring that we're getting the most out of the work we're doing. And recently, unfortunately, it has felt like CSF has been somewhat of an inefficiency for us.   The project was intended to be a once a week thing where we all gather to goof off and blow off some steam, but with 2017 being the year that it has been, it has felt like a bit of a chore at times trying to spam a "super awesome and fun video" out every single week - and I'm sure that has come through in some of the videos that we've released on the channel. So, the update.
 
This is far from the end of Channel Super Fun. We do still believe that we have an opportunity to make some crazy fun and entertaining content with the (very loose) "format" that we have on CSF, and hopefully you'll agree as you see the new content that we create. But we want all of the pieces that we post to that channel to actually BE Super Fun, and live up to the promise of goofs and laughs with every upload. In order to facilitate that, we've decided to adjust our release schedule to "hopefully one a week but maybe less," at least for the time being.
 
This will not only give us the time to focus on the TRULY "Super Fun" projects for this channel, but to ensure that we can keep up with the high standards that we've been setting on both LTT and TQ. Hope this doesn't come as a disappointment to any of you - we truly want to ensure that everything we create is as enjoyable as it can be, and in our minds this is the right call at this time.  
 
 
TL;DR - CSF may not have a new video every single week moving forward. We're making this decision in order to maximize the quality of the videos both on and off CSF, as wasting a few hours in a busy week on something that's "less than Super Fun" has the potential to lessen the time we have to spend on the other awesome content that we're releasing. We're aiming to get back to the roots of the channel - making videos that are Super Fun to create and Super Fun to watch, whether the production values are high are low. We're excited to see what the future holds for both CSF and LMG in general!

will linus try to break stuff again this year?

gibe nao pls

how up to date are your drivers? Windows 7 does not update any hardware based drivers. Windows 10 tries to but has broken many things for me and I have even needed to reinstall windows 10 to fix the problem e.g. Windows 10 installing wrong drivers

When it does it again, see if you can write down.
You want the error it gives, EG:

I personally (on my old dead computer) used AMD Gaming Evolved app which told me if my drivers were up to date.

how old is your graphics card? I used to run a really old amd graphics card that ran legacy drivers and that was what caused me to get blue screens but it all went away when I bought a new card. ALSO usually when you get blue screen (if your not on stupid windows 8 that just says it crashed but doesn't tell you what the problem was) in the case of windows 7 it tells you what the problem is try and write it down the next time you get a blue screen and you can post it on here or just look it up.

Hi !
I need some help from those who have Knowledge about CINEMA 4D R17.
What I'm trying to figure out for my build, is actually the CPU believe it or not, haha. I need to know if a 5820k is enough for really, heavy rendering 'tasks' such as Physical, Arnold and ESPECIALLY Octane within CINEMA 4D only.
 
Alongside the 5820k/Whatever-CPU will be a GTX 1070 but I'm not sure whose version to get quite yet. I'll also be using the Standard renderer for long animations that will probably be from 0 Frames to around... I dunno, 600+ Approx frames. It may or may not be a very complex scene with a lot of textures, models and what not which again is quite a heavy task. Some of you are probably aware that animations within CINEMA 4D per frame can be quite time consuming and I'm not sure if the 5820k can handle animations that >could< consist of a lot of frames if that makes sense because it could take nearly 1-3 minutes just for one frame, then you have to multiply that by however many you have in total; it could be nearly 200, 300, 500 or even 600+ depending on what I'll be working on there and then. That's a lot of time and work for a 6-Core/12-Thread 5820k CPU being overclocked or not.
 
So, would the 5820k be able to handle such a heavy animation or even Arnold/Octane renders? Personally, I don't think it could but that's why I need some advice from those who do have knowledge about CINEMA 4D. Oh and err... I will not be using any other modelling software. Only CINEMA 4D, no other. 
 
My only other issue is that, I'd be doing a bit of gaming as mentioned below and I don't know how a 2670-V3 would perform alongside a GTX 1070 in terms of FPS, Lag, Stability, Temps etc...
 
 
My current CPU(s) choices are listed below.
I have also listed my intended purposes for this build, please read onwards:
 
My intended purposes are Gaming, Video/Photo Editing, Programming, Game/App Development and a lot of Rendering within CINEMA 4D as explained above. ============================================================================
Option 1 - Intel Xeon 2670 V3 CPU > £145 from eBay > But how it would handle when gaming? What kind of FPS would I get alongside my GTX 1070..? Option 2 - Intel 5820k CPU > £320-330 > But can it handle CINEMA 4D..? I assume it can handle Video Editing software applications but, can it truly handle CINEMA 4D..? So yeah, if I were to get a 5820k, my budget would be going up  
 
Thanks ~ Xiauj 

So it will be a while before Guinness sorts through our footage to validate the world world for themselves, but it was definitely the highest altitude LAN party (okay... someone on a plane could have gamed higher up, but we're talking while still on land here) EVER!
 
This project was a blast and wouldn't have been possible without help from a LOT of people including the Tek Syndicate team, Austin Evans, the NeweggTV guys, and OF COURSE our sponsors.


 
Huge thanks first to ASUS for providing us with the router we used at the top, the funding we needed to get our teams out there, and of course a dozen of their latest RoG gaming notebook the G550JK, which you can check out in this video here:
 

 
Oh... and did I mention in the above video I've got details for how you can WIN the very notebook that I gamed on at the top of the mountain? Did I also mention that it's signed by me, Logan, Paul, Kyle, Luke, and Qain????
 
But don't worry if you don't win one. Newegg's got a deal going right now where you get an exclusive bundle if you buy one at this link. Check it out!

Our next big thank you goes out to Intel. They partnered with us to help pay many of the people involved including members of our teams. Oh and I guess they also made the efficient quad core Core i7 processors that went inside the G550JK notebooks we carried up the mountain. If they consumed more power and output more heat, then those would have been pretty difficult to lug up there!


 
Speaking of difficult to lug, our final sponsor, Corsair, was probably laughing at us when they sent their (awesomely built, but a touch heavy) all new Vengeance K95 and K70 RGB keyboards to us to game with at the summit. I cannot fault the build quality of these outstanding keyboards, and as long as the one I get once they're released ends up sitting on my desk instead of strapped to my back, then everything is going to be okay...

The stuff listed as $0 are stuff I already have so no need to get a Samsung 950 Pro. I'm thinking of using my Predator PCIE SSD as a boot drive and storing games I use really often that would benefit from fast read speeds. The Macbook M.2 SSD I could use as a temporary project drive storing all the stuff I'm currently working on. No clue what should I do with my 120 SSD. My 4TB internal drive will store anything I didn't list and completed projects.
Also I'd rather swap the AIO rather than getting a new case. I got it at a discounted price at LMG's garage sale and even got it signed by them.

 
Here's the new build is 5820K. Swapped the AIO, and added the LG ultrawide monitor as a placeholder.

While I concur that the 5820K will be faster than a 6700K in terms of video editing and not gaming, keep in mind that you will spend more on the 5820K and possibly more with the X99 motherboard
 
The 5820K has more CPU lanes for more video cards and other expansion cards, but both CPUs will be using DDR4. Unless you can find a skylake motherboard that takes DDR3, but I'd use DDR4 since you're spending so much anyways

Yes, for gaming an i5 is still a valid processor.
 
There is a new series out now (which takes socket 1151) and is called "Skylake"
 
The top of the line i5 is the 6600k

Hey everyone my name is Thom,
 
I've been a member of the forum for some time now and a subscriber of LinusTechTips for a few years. Being 17 years old I'm still in school, in fact in my last year (Yr 12). Along with that I get to do a “Major Work” for my industrial tech Timber class. This “Major Work” can be anything we want, we must design it, then make it. Along with this we need to make an 80 page folio showing everything from steps of construction to drawings and tools used. We have about 8 months to create our project which is then marked by a group of judges who travel the state and mark the projects from each school. In 2014 I came Dux (First Place) in this subject with a mark of 96% I put a lot of effort into my projects and spend a lot of time designing and planning them.  Being my last year I decided to go big or go home, something that is different than a coffee table, a chair, etc. I decided to make this “Project: Ravage” a modded computer table.
 
You may be wondering why “Project: Ravage”? Well Ravage is to “cause severe and extensive damage to”, e.g my wallet and then benchmarks. I’m 100% sure none of the judges have seen this before so I'm hoping to blow their minds away. The project has changed so many times since last November when I started to plan it, come to think of it, the first design had 780ti’s in it, which has now been replaced by 980ti’s. Table will be fully water cooled with custom tubing.
 

 
The top of this table will be made out of Tasmanian Oak with a oil matte finish. To add to this there will be a sheet of glass over the wood top which will be laminated and toughened so it won't shatter or crack. I have always used tables with glass on the top and I like how they don't wear out or get damaged (as easily) like the timber would. This timber is light and will contrast well with the dark stained legs.
 
The Legs are made out of 70x70 pine with a few pieces of Tasmanian oak accents. These legs will be stained a dark brown/black and then lacquered to a matte finish.
 
For the box underneath I will be using Meranti. It’s like pine but without the knots. Its got a nice clean grain and looks like a premium timber but without the price tag. This box will be lacquered and kept with the timer look to match the table top and offset from the dark legs.
 

 
I never did Multimedia in school because the classes were at same time as timber so I never got taught AutoCAD or any other fancy programs. I taught myself how to use sketchup and with that knowledge I designed this table from scratch over a time span of 2-3 months. Throughout this time the table changed quiet a bit to account for different parts, cooling, aesthetics and the normal R&D stuff but it finally came down to this.
