    it's actually fairly common for 3rd party reviewers to have significantly more views than official videos, because with said 3rd party viewers there's an audience waiting every day to see "what's next" so to say.
     
    and i dont know how shallow of a fanboy you are, but i've never met anyone who checks AMD's official youtube page every day to see "what's next". i'd even dare to bet the majority of linus views didnt even know AMD *had* their own official video.

    I was just about to post this. Linus has a dominate personality that is so entertaining to watch. Lol. (walks up on Sony stage at CES, every rep screams, Linus says, eh it's okay)

    Only if you're a sensitive baby who believes there are over 100 genders and the world should be a safe space free of original thought because of feelings.

    but they're great for those old games you always loved in a box somewhere that need the cd to run install everything, use a no cd crack and enjoy the memories... that is if you can get them running. I kept a cd drive on my pc specifically for diablo and the rare dvd rip

    10 years ago, I build a PC for a client, and recently they retired it since they bought a faster system for the business.  They let me take the PC back since they had no use for it, it has a Pentium D cpu, I was cleaning it to use it for something else, so I took off the stock intel cooler, and when I was cleaning it to reapply some new thermal paste, I saw that I had left the plastic protection that came with the original thermal compound in the stock cooler. 
     
    It worked 9 hours a day, 6 days a week for 10 years, with a piece of plastic between the cpu and the cooler, and never had any issues.  Still works to this day.

    A few things 
    1. I left a PGA CPU on the floor and accidentally stood on it getting a glass of water in the night (it was an i3 from an old laptop. some of the pins got stuck and I had yank the CPU out my foot)
    2. Shoved a cold cathode inverter in my PC, put them in the wrong way and smoke plumed out.
    3. Thought pump was failing in main PC. Do all the trouble shooting and take apart the PC, turned out to be my phone buzzing on top of my case...
    i know I am stupid. Don't judge me ):

    Well I am not interested in Windows 10 spying on me, so I will stick to Skylake, hopefully when Skylake becomes too outdated Linux will work with most software/games I use.

    I decided to go with a Noctua NH-D9L instead of the Corsair H50. As a result, I got three Noctua NF-F12 case fans instead of the three Fractal Design fans in my original plan. The PSU was Installed, moved the SSD forward and removed the RAM heat spreaders. I just used my current EVGA GTX 950 GPU for this build, but I will likely be updating it after I'm done with custom cabling/cable management which will be next.

    You sir may have just found the case I have been looking for!
     
    i would have preferred a wider case but I may have to downscale my dreams a bit and go with this case and do a single loop until I feel like dropping the 700 on a caselabs case , I'll have to do some research in this case but it may be just what I was looking for and $200 less than the 900d , this will take some looking into thank you very much.
     
    if anybody else knows of any more similar cases please keep them coming!
     
    those caselabs cases are downright insaine with the customizations bailable on them but each option is about 30 bucks so a $600 case goes to 700+ real quick especially if you opt for the $250 paint schemes

    Mikedin got a reaction from intelCore in AMD to Intel Switch   
    I won't be doing my build until February or March or possibly even may if tax forums are late again so I have plenty of time to see what I want to change up in my planned build, luckily for me that means I have plenty of time to see what both AMD and Intel bring to the table especially with these new Intel chips being announced too, boasting they have integrated graphics capable of 4K , but I can only imagine what the price tag will run on them
