  1. "will touching computer parts when turned on kill you" as fast as possible
  2. How to pronounce "Dvorak" properly (the alternative keyboard layout)
  3. How to determine whether a Power Supply is good quality enough for overclocking (mid-range to high-range builds) e.g. Corsair CX 550? EVGA BQ series? EVGA 600B?
  4. Using bookshelf speakers with a cheap amp like the lepy 2020 versus "computer speakers" versus "gaming speakers", sound quality? bass? gaming / gaming advantages?
  5. How to choose a computer case. Does brand matter? Why not to buy a case from 2012 (Antec 900, NZXT Phantom)?
  6. Custom CPU heatsinks for non-K / non-overclockable CPUs? I think one historic argument is for extending the lifespan of the CPU, but CPUs seem to be pretty invincible these days and never fail. I guess the main thing would be noise levels. Would a cheap but decent $20-30 cooler actually help reduce noise by a lot while idle / under load? Is it impossible for stock heatsinks to thermal throttle?
  7. Suggestion: laptop coolers Not sure if this would be better on a techquickie type of video or a benchmark / testing type. Are laptop coolers kind of a scam? Laptops are supposed to be designed to handle their thermal load under regular situations / ambient temperatures (except maybe HP laptops! just kidding...), so what's the point of the cooler? - Could they even be detrimental in disrupting the airflow path the laptop normally has? - Are the weird vacuum types that suck air out of the side exhaust better? - Many people say one primary purpose is for using a laptop for your... lap, or for soft surfaces like a bed - Overall noise level could decrease perhaps, since a laptop cooler has a much larger fan that can run at lower RPMs to cool the laptop - Do cooler temperatures really extend the life of the laptop significantly, or will something not related to thermals fail first?
