I've noticed on the WAN show that Luke and Linus change chairs manufacturers from time to time which I guess depends on sponsorship. I need a new one. Just about reached a Maxnomic chairs lifetime and was hoping some staff member can maybe tell me which chair has been the most comfortable, dependable, etc....

Watching the last WAN show, Friday the 16th, Linus was wearing this great T-shirt and I want one ..... or 2. I checked out the "official store" managed by designbyhumans.com for LTT and it wasn't available. I contacted DBH and they were cool, said it looked like a shirt from the old store. They said they'd, well they said they might bring it up with Linus or whomever and see if it was a design LTT wanted to go with. So I'm here pleading to whomever makes these decisions to go ahead with adding this design. I can't wear my WAN show T-shirt or my Linus tech tips t-shirt at work because my boss says it looks too much like an advertisement. He didn't like the bright orange. Before you all say something, my company is pretty cool and they will allow subtle t-shirts like maybe an alma mater t-shirt with a small logo of the universities name, etc on the left breast or lika an old EVGA T-shirt I have that's a lot like the one I want. It's black with a very subtle, almost ghost like printing of EVGA on it. So they're not totally uncool or anything. I showed him the screen shot of the shirt Linus was wearing and he said it would be ok. So, come on man add that design to your merch store and I'll get a few.

Thanks folks, appreciate the education, and information. Best damned Tech forum in the world.

I was watching a Newegg video about this SSD and the Intel guy said this card had 18 channels. I'm a little fuzzy on MB architecture Does anyone know if those 18 channels equals 18 PCIe lanes? I'm running an SLI config now using 32 PCIe lanes. Will I have to bail on the SLI set-up if I go with this card as my only boot and storage drive?

Just get a honda. Seriously, they do not break down, will run forever with regular oil changes, etc.. Nobody steals them so the insurance is really great and the body styles don't change much so a bit of polish keeps the car looking up to date. Best car I ever owned.

Very good, thanks guys.

So I just built a new H2O rig and did a small over clock. Initially CPU Z, EVGA's E LEET and AIDA's monitoring/ reporting showed the correct o-clock values, 4.0 Ghz on the CPU and all but very soon, like less than 30 sec they all changed to something like 1263 Mhz. So, you know I go back into the bios and everything looks good, 4.0 Ghz just like it should. Come back out, check CPU Z again and sure enough it switches in almost no time. Very weird. Just wondering if this is normal? I got the 5960X up to almost 4.9 Ghz but with a voltage at 1.39 - 41 I just knew it would burn, even with water, so I backed it down.

Thanks all. Thanks for building my confidence with the 45's and the 90's, and I do have a D5 pump. I'm feeling better and better about this build.

Hi all, Anyone tried out these fittings? I could use the 45* fittings just to lessen the strain on the tubing/fittings in a few places in my loop, and I'm looking at two models of quick disconnects, one from Koolance and one from Swiftech's. I was thinking about using those before and after the GPU blocks. Let me just throw this out there too...I'm new to water cooling, I've done some heavy homework on this stuff, both through videos and also from reading you guys here on this forum, (thanks), and what I've read and watched so far it kinda looks like 90* bends, (fittings), are probably not the best idea in a water loop.....right? Two spots would look way better with them in my loop but I wouldn't want to compromise performance over aesthetics. What do you guys think? Love to hear what you've seen or even experienced with 90* bends in your loop.

MAN!! I do not need to hear this. I'm in the final stages of building my first loop and you're talking about a major leak...LOLs. So I watched this guys you tube video where he set up and powered his loop for leak testing with out installing any computer components. I think I'll try that first. This is the craziest hobby thing I've ever tried. :wacko:

Thanks all, it's always good to have some experienced folks to lean on when you need it. Guess I'll buy some fittings today.

I'm pricing components and picked out a couple of Koolance rads , their reservoir and rez base, but their fittings are more expensive than Swiftech's. So I'm wondering if it's cool to mix components up between vendors? Their not wicked more expensive but any money I can save, right? I wouldn't think there would be an issue but both sites make this statement about not using "third party coolants" with their parts and that got me wondering if I needed to stick with one vendor/manufacturer for everything. ie. blocks, pumps, rads, fittings......

Hey folks, I received one of your WAN stealth shirts awhile back and although I really like the design, I don't get a chance to wear it much. I'd better appreciate something not quite as ..... geez I don't know....flamboyant?? I really like the "linustechtips" logo that's on the top back of the shirt better than anything else. It's subtle, something I could get away with at work, etc. I'd really like the WAN stealth logo sized down to something over the left breast pocket too. T-shirts are my clothing of choice for the most part. Yeah ... I gotta dress up to get laid and all but mostly I'm severely casual in my choice of clothing. So my most favorite choices or specs for a T-shirt would be: Keep the same size font, (linustechtips), place that logo over the left breast and maybe add a pocket and a little more weight to the shirt?? The material of your offering is kinda light weight, probably to keep the cost down and all but I'd be willing to hit, say, the $24.99+ US price point for a little better quality shirt. I'm not asking for super duper or anything. An example of the weight would be my current preference: the "FruitofTheLoom " brand shirts at Walmart. I can pick those up for around $7.99 US each. They do not come with any art or anything hence my reaching out to you. Another great example of the quality and style are the ones you can get from FrozenCPU.com. Those are excellent. The quality of the T and though their art sucks, the over all design is quieter. I can get away with something like that at work. Does any of this make sense?? So I'd be more than happy to purchase more stuff to support your efforts. I'm a big fan..... but, well, I like what I like and though it's for a cause I gotta feel there's some value coming my way with a purchase. Oh yeah, if you ever look at this idea include both a black and white version. You have a great show, and like I said, I'm a big fan. I use your Amazon link and just grabbed a hIghLANder T, so yeah. Thanks for reading/listening .............. later

Are you kidding?? The best thing about this notebook is it's pedigree. It's been to the first ever mountain top LAN party and has the signatures of many of the attendees. It's like a collectors item or something. The icing I guess is that it's an ASUS and it's ROG badged with a nice aluminum finish and an IPS panel, so there's that too.
