  1. Not decided yet but it will be around 400w of heat output which is based on something like an 7700k +1070 (I'll be considering ryzen and vega when they get released)
  2. Is this normal or should I go to a doctor Also my eyes twitch from looking at screen too long
  3. You could always get like an nzxt kraken g10 and mount your fav aio cooler to that to cool the gpu (please double check the g10 supports your gpu cos im not sure)
  4. My next build im planning to do is in an Ncase m1, i plan to remove the side and create a window and use the only 240 mount inside the case to cool a custom cpu and gpu loop. I know a single EKWB slim 240 radiator will fit, but i'd like experienced water coolers to give insight about whether or not it will be able to handle around 300-400w of heat from components (cpu+gpu) I dont need overclocking headroom and i dont expect it to run seriously cool, im looking for acceptable levels. As a side note, i want to do custom loop because it looks cool and is appealing to me with such a tiny case, plus it'll be quieter than air cooling with a cpu fan + gpu blower
  5. My own rig is an i7 2600 which was built 6 years ago and its still going strong, I've had my share of GPU upgrades going from 6870>6970CF>7970>R9 290 (btw I actually only bought the 6870 and r9 290, the rest of the upgrades have been hand downs from friends and family pretty luck eh?) It still running strong, modern games run as they're intended and video rendering is a dream and rarely breaks down, in fact nothing has gone wrong in the computer. I'm going to build a completely new desktop soon once ryzen is released into the market. not because I think my computer is slow but because its enormous and I'd like a mini-itx system now to get a little more desk space.

  7. I absolutely agree, the naming of the vids are completely obscure and it's off-putting not knowing what the content is going to be look at what Paul's hardware is doing - its sooo much nicer
  8. To the Linus Media Group Team I guess this is a long time listener, first time caller situation. The recent changes to Linus tech tips have made me want to comment and reach out to the LMG team to let them know how they're doing from a long time viewer's perspective First of all I want to congratulate what Linus and his team has achieved over the years, I've been watching LTT for probably around 5 years now and I've seen them progress from random outdoor unboxings to the bookcase set and from the iconic kitchen to the amazing office you guys have built. I'm sure many people on this forum and the millions of viewers you've gathered over the years on you tube appreciate what you have done for the community in terms of inspiring interest in the computer industry, creating entertaining tech related content and being a source of excellent LTT goofs and gaffs. I'm writing this post today because for the first time in my 5 years of watching I feel your team has changed parts of LTT in a way that goes against what I feel is the 'LTT identity', My intention is not to offend anyone who works on the content of the videos, I understand the incredible amount of work that goes into LTT and the fantastic drive your team puts into improving the content everyday. Any forum members who feel the same or have their own opinion are free to comment below, the more perspective we have as a community, the better the direction LTT will go in in the future. Here are the points of change that don't seem to gel with what LTT should be. 1. Thumbnails The idea of refreshing the thumbnails to a new style is an attractive one, however I find that they stand out less than the old huge white text on photo style. The new thumbnails look like they are suited for an 'indie' tech channel, and I feel less compelled to click on them. The biggest problem I have with the new thumbnails is that they're incredibly clickbait-ey and somewhat unpleasing to have show up in my sub feed. Here is an example of a clickbait thumbnail Watching the video you'll see that there was no water involved, Luke wore the lab coat for only 3 seconds of the video for the sake of the thumbnail. and the entire content of the video was just swapping a HDD for an SSD in a laptop. Most of your viewers could see this thumbnail was completely off topic and misleading. Here is an example of an unpleasant thumbnail Now I know this is meant to be some sort of a joke, but do you guys really think your viewers enjoy having images of Linus' crotch with a banana shopped into it popping up on their feed. I fancy myself as a mature person, and I frankly don't want to see such a crude thumbnail like that showing up. I ,however, don't mind if you pop these sort of jokes inside the video. (some of you may argue that theres worse stuff on youtube but we arent comparing LTT to those cancerous channels, we are comparing LTT to what LTT have done great before) I think many of us would prefer if you switched back to the old style of thumbnails, it used to be a case of insta-click when i saw that iconic thumbnail, now I find i'm scrolling past these new videos without realising i'm missing a video from my favorite tech youtuber. 2. Video content The first part of this pointer is in regards to the scripting of the videos, both Linus and Luke feel more like they're reading off a script, which i know they've always done but you can tell the scripts don't feel as natural as they could be. Linus doesnt really speak like himself when he's reading another persons script, and its very obvious when you see how Linus presents at CES vs the scripted office reviews. I find that linus is far more entertaining when he's relying on his natural presenting abilities rather than reading off a prompter and I'm sure other people feel this too due to the demand that linus bring back his old unboxing style or film more seasons of scrapyard wars because there's this charm that linus has when he's freeballing a video and that charm is what we all subscribed for. BTW I've thoroughly enjoy all the CES content this year so and I really appreciate the hard work that goes to covering that show. The second part is the strange content that been posted on LTT. The quality of the content in the video seems unfiltered, videos such the recent DIY Waterproofing video which was a fail was still posted and it just feels like "oh we've already filmed it so we might as well post it" The only real Linus tech tip we got from those videos is to not do what linus does and we all know that already. But on a more serious note, the video wasn't that informative and I feel like I wasted 11 minutes. It would be greatly appreciated if the videos were somewhat curated so the viewers actually get something out of it. This being said, the LTT team is still doing great content, all the CES videos, Weirdest $h!t you bought on amazon, macbook pro review and DIY desk PC are examples of the great content we know and love (they also happen to have more views) My point is that I wish the content would be consistently good and the team would leave out the less than informative videos. Asides from those two points, I think the team is doing a hell of a job. I'm not sure if anyone on the team will actually see this message but hopefully the community agrees and the message gets somewhere. Thank you for reading my post and perspectives, feel free to add your own points.
