    1234vietnam reacted to flibberdipper in your most hated joke?   
    Those jokes making fun of Chrome's RAM usage are so old by now that it's not even beating a dead horse. It's beating the skeleton of a horse that died a few centuries ago.

    1234vietnam reacted to Enderman in How many raditors would it take to get high end components to within 1 degree or less of ambient   
    Yes, but the guy is talking about cooling an object to the same temperature as the water or air touching it, which is not possible.
    Just like it is not possible to cool a CPU to the same temperature as the LN2.
     
    Honestly even highschool chem or physics should have taught him why it is impossible, they usually cover entropy in one of those courses.

    sexual preferences are something that just are what they are and you can't help that. 
    Isn't this what the gay movement had to help people understand?

    More specifically, it’s something that just happens to be mostly done by white straight males.
     
    There was no actual barrier to coding for Linux if you’re not a white straight male. If that really bothers you so much, I think you have bigger problems.
     
    Forcing is not the way to go. Stop trying it you dickwads.

    1234vietnam reacted to bob345 in Celsius is a poor measurement system, Fight ME!   
    can you tell me how the Fahrenheit scale is better? Heres the thing, The large majority of the world uses C, and as such all major industries use it for measuring temperature.  
     
    " Much like the metric system it's just not that accurate without going into "large" decimal values " Uhhh what? you dont say 0.01 millimeter, you say 10 micron.
    The metric system scales WAY better than the imperial system ie 1000 meters is 1 kilometer. How many feet are in a mile? 5280. You say metric doesn't convert well but what the hell is that?

    1234vietnam reacted to JZStudios in Celsius is a poor measurement system, Fight ME!   
    I'm bored. But Celsius is a pretty poor measurement system and there's always clowns telling people that it's better than Fahrenheit. Well let me tell you why you're wrong.
    1. You're just simply used to Celsius. This whole argument really goes both ways.
    2. It's arbitrary, and so is every other temperature scale. It's based on water but... why? What real relevance does that have?
    3. Much like the metric system it's just not that accurate without going into "large" decimal values.
     
    I mean, think about it. Why use the freezing and boiling point of water as the scale as opposed to something like the phase shift of Iron? There's a thing called the Delisle scale that places waters boiling point at zero and freezing at 150. It's based on the contraction of mercury. Celsius was they same way until they inverted the scale, of which Celsius the man used a Delisle scale.
    Why don't we just use a scale where 0 is Earths average temperature and 100 is the suns average temperature?

    In an ideal world with an intelligent populous I ABSOLUTELY agree with you.

    However, we live in a world of dumbfucks and drooling morons that amaze me when they survive tying their shoes without using a helmet and a rollcage, so I don't expect most people to be able to parse what's real and what's fake.

    1234vietnam reacted to Hunter259 in Core i9 Macbook Pro throttles so hard its SLOWER than last years i7 model.   
    First reported by David Lee and is quickly making its way across the internet with MacRumors now making it's own post; the Core i9 version of the 2018 refresh of the Macbook Pro is see throttling so hard that it is slower than even the Quad Core i7 of last years model. Macbook Pro's have had issues throttling in the past but this is the first time I've ever seen one have issues holding even the base clock speed of the chip. This is a 300/400 USD upgrade that seems to be completely worthless if the programs that you use can actually utilize the 6 cores of the Core i9. The new 2018 Macbook Pro 15" all come with 6 core i7's standard starting at 2.2GHz with a 2.6GHz option available before the upgrade to the i9.

    1234vietnam reacted to lavablade02 in Why I have lost respect for Linus (because of the most recent WAN show.)   
    In the last WAN show Linus made a comment about people being upset about the tragedy of the Kenobi movie being canceled. He then proceeded to make fun of the prequels in general. Episode 3 is the greatest movie of all time (unironically), and I have completely lost respect for Linus. Can we not talk about episode 8, which they literally broke hyperdrive, or how they changed directors and they scrapped the road map.

    1234vietnam reacted to jiyeon in My First Ever Custom PC   
    Welcome to my custom PC build log!
    This is my first ever custom PC, built between the 4th & 5th of June, 2018.
     
    Specs as of 05/06/18
    Intel Core i5-8600K
    Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
    Asus Prime Z370-P
    Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2400
    Asus Dual GeForce GTX 1060 OC 3GB
    Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD
    NZXT S340
    3x Corsair SP120 RGB
    Corsair CX450M
     

     
     
    My case of choice is the NZXT S340 in white, it's a beautiful case that I had never seen in person before this, it's even better in person than in the pictures! I chose the S340 because of its simplistic styling and minimal design. I also have had previous experience building inside this case with PC Building Simulator on Steam, it's an irresistable case.
     
    My first step is to remove front and side panels, the thumbscrews were hard on so I had to twist them free using a screwdriver, once they were loose enough, I was able to use my hands, because they don't call them thumbscrews for nothing. It's also very nice and convenient that they're captive and hold onto the panel.
     
    I then took off the stock NZXT case fans to make way for my three Corsair SP120 case fans later in the build. I safely placed my NZXT case fans back inside the box, making sure to disconnect them from the back cables safely before stowing them away.
     

     

     
     
    Next up is the motherboard, which is the Asus Prime Z370-P. I chose this board for the overclocking abilities and also for its styling, its black and grey color scheme fits nicely with my S340 and my graphics card. I had never seen a full ATX motherboard before this, so this appeared much bigger than expected (that's what she said) to me.
     

     
    My CPU of choice is the Intel Core i5-8600K, I chose this CPU after many LTT forum users suggested I get an unlocked CPU, as originally I was going for a locked 8600. Sure enough, I shelled out for an unlocked 8600 and it fit nicely into the motherboard socket, making sure the arrows lined up. Thanks YouTube for all the CPU installation tutorials.
     

     
    My memory modules are next, which are a 2x4GB kit of Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2400 memory. They beautifully blended in with the motherboard and contrasted the S340's whites. I made sure to slot my modules in DIMMs B2 and A2, per motherboard manual's instructions. I also later found out the B2 DIMM was not seated correctly, as you can probably tell by the photo. The fixed clip on one side of the Asus motherboard DIMM tripped me up minorly here.
     

     

     
     
    Next is my CPU cooler, the Cooler Master Hyper 212. My original cooler was the Cryorig H7 Quad Lumi but funds and shipping times held me back this time around, so this component is arguably the least powerful in the entire system.
    I had major hiccups during the installation of this cooler, especially the backpate and washers. I even video-called my friend whom had experience with Hyper 212s to help me out, and sure enough, we got my Hyper 212 securely fitted. This ate up at least half an hour of the entire build process.
     
    I also managed to fit my Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD into the far-left drive bay of my S340 case.
     
    In addition to it all, I also fit my new Asus GeForce GTX 1060 OC 3GB into my PC, the graphics card was much bigger than I anticipated, and I finally got to see real-life GPU sag in person. I already knew from PC Building Simulator that I had to remove the second and third PCI-e brackets from the S340 in order to fit my case, so that was no problem.
     

     
    After this major climb, I managed to hook up my PSU, the Corsair CXM 450W Semi-Modular PSU, and connect up all the necessary cables, including the front panel connectors, again per motherboard manual's instructions.
     
     
     

     
     
    I'll first address why the lower front fan isn't attached, and that's because I ran out of chassis fan headers. There are only two chassis fan headers on this motherboard and so I was unable to use my third case fan at the time of the build.
     
    With everything all set up, I hooked up my PSU cable to the wall, flipped the switch, and hooray, my system is functional! LEDs are on, case fans are spinning, It's a glorious day! it was at this point I sat in front of my half-assembled PC for ten minutes to grasp in the realisation that I had just built my first ever custom PC by myself. It was a magnificent evening.
     

     
    I then brought my new system up to my room, and had to use my TV as my display since my monitor refused to pick up any signal. (LTT tech support will know all about this incident)
    It was amazing to read my system on screen, new CPU, new memory, and a Samsung 850 Evo.
    I happened to notice my BIOS only recognised 4GB of RAM so I knew I had to reseat one of them, and so I did. Voila, 8GB of memory.
     

     
    Interestingly, I managed to get my third case fan on through using the vacant AIO pump header on my motherboard and setting aforementioned fan to DC mode so it doesn't spin at a constant 1500RPM. I am not certain this is safe but it works in the mean time and I'm happy I got my third case fan in.
     

     
    The next day (or morning, as I slept at 6am because of this build) I woke up to this beautiful sight. My very own working PC. I had the side panel off for a good few minutes just staring at my RGB fans as if it was a campfire, it was relaxing.
    I made sure to check my BIOS for my CPU cooler settings, set my RAM correctly to 2400MHz, and ensure my GPU was working, and then my build was finalised. I call her Sia.  
     
    With my build done, I would like to take this time to share my thoughts and experience of building my very first PC.
     
    It's a scary experience, but after a dozen "How to Build a PC" YouTube walkthroughts, I came in confident that I could end the night (or morning) with a working PC. As soon as I gathered up all the parts, I was filled with confidence and adrenaline in building. I probably completed the installation of the CPU and RAM in merely five minutes.
    The CPU cooler was for sure the most difficult part, considering the Hyper 212 was not even my original cooler of choice. The included instructions were actually quite hard for me to follow that I needed a human to help. It really set my mood back a lot. It was my fault for not researching the cooler beforehand. I guess this is one of the points of building a PC where there's a steep learning curve, and I sure crashed into it.
    I really enjoyed building my first PC, just even putting on the fans, I could feel my individuality inside this PC, because I was the one who chose these and have assembled my own system.
    But of course, the best part was knowing the system works, and the sight of this PC showing its first 'ASUS' boot screen is an always will be an unforgettable moment.

    1234vietnam got a reaction from Mira Yurizaki in Fridge cooling revisit?   
    You are better off just getting more radiators because the radiators you already have will always keep your liquid temperatures above ambient so there is no point in having the fridge.
     
    Also:
     - A mini fridge has only around 50-100W of cooling power which is similar to a 120mm radiator.
     - The compressor in the fridge will die quickly as it is not meant to handle a constant heat load.
     
    The mini fridge is basically just a big, loud 120mm radiator with a limited lifespan.
