I find it particularly interesting, especially after all the crap about the Chinese government’s activities with Hisense televisions and the Huawei debacle…now we’re hearing about yet another Chinese company and it’s exploits…at what point does this become a pattern?

I don’t have the beta invite yet but I hear that the 250gb and 500gb drives are hitting faster speeds? But the 1-2TB drives are pegged at 5500? is this all bs or what?

Short but sweet…apparently there might be an issue with the Samsung 980 Pro running in the PS5…maybe it’s an issue with the drive the end user has?? Maybe it’s limited to some drives…maybe it’s a real issue?? I only stumbled into this lastnight, not my video…

Like Linus said, this is interesting and I’d definitely like to test it...just don’t expect wild results. Sources https://apple.news/A4jUllkcIQ8qEFY5ilKyRHQ

I wonder what Laszlo’s Supernova sounds like on these things?? https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/27/17898382/razer-nommo-pro-review-consumers-producers-thx-dolby-stereo

Can it run the Crysis trilogy? That’s what’s I wanna know...cause if no, then why? Lol that’s ALOT of RAM for a phone.

Do our phones really need this much RAM already? https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/9/27/17909220/10gb-smartphone-oppo-findx-tenaa-china

I dunno, I think some of these stories might be a bit exaggerated. But who really knows unless you work there. I know they have fulfillment centers here in SoCal and in CA there are a LOT of worker rights and a labor board that makes it easy to file should stuff like that start happening...maybe they do this in right to work states, maybe it’s exaggerated, maybe it’s not. But I agree at least an investigation may be warranted.

Yeah this is STUPID!!! Who is going to make coolers to support this nonsense and how long are those gonna take to hit the market? Besides, typically we see 2 module slots on the smallest boards, and builds using those boards are typically completed by/for gamers that don’t need large amounts of RAM. Not to mention you can move up from macro to micro sized boards that have 4 slots, buying a dual slot board and then using these large footprint modules kinda defeats the purpose of building a macro build....this makes no sense and I can’t imagine this being successful.

Yeah this is new with the latest version of the Armory and Aura software from Asus

Someone....what on earth is this article referring to? Last paragraph in the article, apparently G.Skill is developing Trident Z RGB DC (standing for Double Capacity) so the PCB isn’t so packed? What?!!! Is this supposed to be DDR4 RAM sticks that are double in height and will create CPU cooler issues? https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.hothardware.com/news/asus-z390-maximus-xi-extreme-motherboard-leaks

I was thinking we should send the Linus Family over to this channel, this specific video, and leave a message of support. This is a group of brothers out of Germany. They live in a small village of just 4000 people, yet somehow started a group together, along with friends, as a group of engineers and tinkerers, and build really cool stuff and make videos about it. A few days ago they released a tribute video to their little sister that passed away in a sport plane crash with the pilot. I wouldn’t normally make this suggestion but these really are a solid group of guys/family and they just got hit hard by a devastating loss. I’m sure the support will mean a lot as they struggle with this loss and try and move forward without her. She was part of the channel as well as the brothers family. Here’s the link:

It's an older topic, however, there is new information and new features. So while I'll always be a PC gamer first and use my 4960x, 5960x, 6950x, 7700k, 1800x, dual E5-2660's, GTX 980 Ti's, GTX 1080's, and just swapped my Titan XP's for 1080 Ti's (because nVidia is probably gonna squeeze out 1 more Titan Pascal card at Computex to compete with Radeon RX Vega) for my work and gaming first and foremost, something compelling happened with the PS4 that made me upgrade and suddenly I am spending some decent time with Sony's system. Going into this let me start by saying that I had a PS4 and had no intention of getting a Pro because it really was initially more of an iteration of the same console and not a fleshed out upgrade. But then they suddenly changed 2 things that made me take a second look and choose to proceed with trading up. A year ago I took the plunge and upgraded the main TV in the house to a Sony XBR-X900C (or for laymen that's their ultra thin, 65" 4K UHD 60hz running Android Lolipop. But then they pushed out an update to Marshmallow which enabled HDR and the HDMI ports gained 2.0 support. But it then I realized it would be quite some time before any carrier service like DirecTV or Charter Spectrum (formerly Time Warner) or Comcast etc etc would broadcast content utilizing the resolution my new-ish shiny was capable of. However, I also realized that I was probably going to be able to get the most out of this screen by using it as my console gaming monitor. Never would I ever normally drop this kind of money on something to just be used for gaming, but alas, DirecTV only offers 2 channels at 4K, both of which you have to pay for, and one of them is just sports, doesn't include any final game like World Series or Super Bowl, basically it's not worth paying for. The other is just a random channel. So I swapped the older 55" Sony 1080p HDTV back into the family room and put the 4K in my office. I tested using it with my desktops but I prefer using my PG279Q and PG27AQ (Linus's reviews made me buy these lol) as they are excellent displays and having the action/art of a game is much more immersive when it's all up in my face...at least it feels better to me. And, these monitors have G-Sync, the 4K Sony does not. Plus, having to constantly fuddle with the cables for the PS4 on these monitors was driving me nuts. While I applaud Asus for plenty of I/O, I really wish they would stop with the draconian Alcatraz style of making it so difficult to swap cables. And so, since the PS4 doesn't use G-Sync, I just wanted to hook it up once not think about cables anymore...and that was supposed to be it...until BAM!!! Sony had already launched this PS4 Pro...I actually laughed because it offered no real reason for anyone to buy it, people would better off buying a used PS4 or a PS4 Slim. Or it was that way until Sony pushed out a mean little update which made ONLY the PS4 Pro support HDR gaming while in 4K. That was a serious temptation. That almost got me to do it...I'm sure it almost got a lot of people to make the swap...so they sweetened the pot once more...they pushed out another update with Boost Mode (or as some have affeftionately come to call it, BEAST MODE lol) suddenly games that just sucked, were choppy and almost unplayable at times, games like the infamous Assassin's Creed Unity, suddenly were stable, smoothe, and were at a decent 30+ frames per second stable, never dipping below 30 where as before it would dip into the teens and even single digits. And of course using Beast Mode while in VR suddenly lowers the cost of the VR entry point...at least for a truer than cardboard VR experience of which anyone whose seen both knows cardboard really shouldn't even be compared to full VR headsets. So if you want to enjoy Beast mode (Boost mode) it's only available on the Pro. If you want to game in HDR you have to get the Pro. And while the original PS4 will run PSVR, the faster, smoother experience is only available on PS4 Pro.

EVGA formus say EVGA officially supports 96GB of non-ECC on the SR-X Ofcourse that doesn't mean more won't work, but they won't guarantee more than that. And someone else is claiming they have 192GB stable on it....guess I'm just gonna have to slowly buy sticks and see when it stops working lol

I purposely went with the 5960x instead of the 6900k because of clock speeds. I mean I got stupid lucky with my 6950x, 4.4GHz at 1.29 volts when most have a hard time with 4.3GHz. But yeah, I definitely agree, in this scenario I thing the 5960x and 6900k are within the margin of error that it would be hard to tell any real difference.
