I like the modern Web UI. I like the use of the width of the screen. That makes it so much better than YT for multi window stuff. I also don't really mind the small fee if the whole experience was quality and you guys got a bigger cut, you deserve it. It shows promise but I live and die by Watch Later. They need to implement playlists, especially a quick list like watch later, also a tag to know what I've watched already. It would be hard to keep up with all the channels I normally follow if I don't get a stream of releases and an easy way to queue them up. Also it's been said, but I'm sad about the quality, audio and video are pretty muddy on my end. At least there's something to challenge YouTube, someone will have to get better.

Why doesn't Linus Fold?
KatanoWaki replied to Gofspar's topic in Folding@home, Boinc, and Coin Mining
I don't think it shortens the life enough to matter. But the electricity bill at LLT HQ would be immense if they folded. I Boinc'd on an i7 laptop at work for 2 years, Thing is still running strong and it's turning 3 now. Just keep it under 99C and you'll be ok 8D -
A 5820k would be beast for my various editing and compiling projects. The mobo and ram would be pricey to upgrade to though, I'm thinking I'll get my buddy in vfx to donate some money and I'll let him use it to render on the weekends, making it a community server/supercomputer.

I can't remember where I read about it but I did notice this in my overclocking. On some synthetic benches the voltage would spike by 0.10 volts higher than I expected, I ended up tuning for this since I run them all the time. Can anyone answer my question about BCLK and STRAP? I'm pretty sure they made a mistake in the vid. I just wanna be sure because IIRC, mixing those up can immediately damage components. But I could be wrong. I would love to know.

Did they set BCLK to 125 in a few of those shots? They set it @ 11:43 while talking about STRAP. Couldn't this potentially damage some stuff? I was under the impression that BCLK should never be set above 106 since it controls sata, pci and ram with the cpu and STRAP is a ratio that separates the CPU from BCLK. I recall hearing stories about people damaging stuff setting these wrong. Clarification would be nice. Great video otherwise, transitions perfectly to z97, it's the same workflow I used to get to 4.6 on my 4790k. I played with strap but couldn't get any higher so I opted to keep it simple, never touched bclk.

Love the "it's science time." I don't like Windex at all, leaves residue and the ammonia in some types of it destroys tint and paint. Foaming alcohol based glass cleaner... "I put that S*&@# on everything." Spray onto the surface (screen, keyboard, case, cables; I avoid cleaning acrylic at all costs though ), apply liberally for really oily marks on brushed aluminum ( like my old Lenovo laptop ). Let sit for a second, then use a microfiber and clean with AND against grain. As it dries keep buffing as it pulls any dust, lint and streaks with it and you should have a really clean surface. Last step, sell said laptop and never buy brushed again so everything looks new all the time.

The 900 series in general is pretty beast, I won't need a PSU upgrade to run a 980. That ZOTAC software seems nice, it's cool too see that much info, even if it didn't net a better overclock. I've had bad luck with the desktop GPU silicon lottery so far. My 760 is barely above stock.

Camera, waterproof, big IPS screen? It's my favorite flagship. And no one will get confused with that dbrand skin.

How far can you overclock a laptop GPU?
KatanoWaki replied to OriginalPromise's topic in Graphics Cards
I rocked an A6 APU in a laptop and overclocked the CPU out of the gate from 1.4 to 2.0ghz on stock voltage. Then a few months later Afterburner was updated to allow GPU overclocking on it, I maxed out the slider at 500mhz. It wasn't much, but it kinda shows how conservative AMD is with laptop chips. My battery life actually increased since it throttled when it wasn't plugged in ( so it was under volted a lot ). Then in my Lenovo I have an i7 and 755m. I can max the core slider to +135 ( after repasting the heatsink ) it stays steady at 1228mhz. Memory I took to +300mhz, anything higher crashes. The key is to repaste the heatsink. The factory paste jobs on all my laptops were horrible and led to 100*C out of the box. Once I repasted both my i7's stay around 85C max and the apu when gaming goes to 70C. Then it's just like a desktop with crappy cooling, but you should always be plugged into a wall when you're overclocked. You can easily overdraw from the battery and heat it up causing damage. I finally have a desk and I'll get to build my own desktop soon, so hopefully days of gaming with temps in the on screen display are over. -
LG G3 Review and.... TWENTY-FIVE Phone Giveaway?!

I agree with Kloaked, Most motherboard support running a case fan or two off it, or you can just run them off molex at a lower speed. The AF Corsairs are case fans, your case supports four or five 120mm fans. You can also run SP fans as case fans also, and they come in a two pack. I used these to make a laptop cooler and they kickass but they are rather loud unless your run them at half speed ( check your bios for that ). I'd have your PSU draw air from the bottom if you have your case on the desk or a hard surface. if it is on carpet have the PSU upside down drawing air from the inside of the case. Then you'll just mount 120mm case fans in the front, side and bottom (optional) blowing in. Then mount case fans on the rear blowing out from your new EVO, and one exhausting out the top. Also the EVO is a great cooler for cheap.

HELP! Overclocking 8350 weird smell
KatanoWaki replied to H4X3R's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I say a moth flew into your PSU or something. FX chips run cool enough that you shouldn't be smelling anything from the board or chip getting damaged. If it were the chip wouldn't be functioning still. Check your fans also, I've had fans that I ran at 12v and they started making some burning smells while they broke/broke-in. I changed them out either way for some SP120's. And any decent thermal paste should be stable well beyond 100C, I got Antec 7 on my laptop and had it running at 97C for 20 minutes yesterday ( oops, it was hot in the shop ). No smells, just burning flesh on the keyboard. Just my thoughts.
