    Hey Rob, If you need Case fans - go with the QF140 as these will have traditional 140mm fan spacing. The XF140 fans are built for CPU coolers -- they have 120mm fan spacing for maximum air flow through to your CPU coolers.

    The game is just poorly optimized... which is kinda sad. Did you install the game on a HDD or SSD? (doubt that it would matter if you installed on SSD, but you could give it a shot) Otherwise, my other suggestion is probably try tinker around with the settings - turn off AA / turn off V-Sync etc. Sorry I couldn't help much

    Logitech G903/703 + Powerplay Mousepad (very pricey), I've been using the G903 for a few years now, absolutely love it and adding PowerPlay is just brilliant! As for keyboard, honestly its personal preference with key switches (I agree G910 is trash, keycaps + switches aren't for me). However I do recommend Logitech G710+ (Brown/Blue switches) it just has everything you need - 1 row of G keys - media control - white led backlighting - detachable wrist rest!

    Have you plugged your display cable into the graphics card and not your motherboard? Cos 40-50frames on low lettings sounds like frame rates for Intel iGPU.

    Holy mother of Gigabyte O_O I wonder how many units they will produce and actually sell...

    My favourite part would have to be the Accent Lighting Kit.. because I'm a sucker for LED lighting

    Not gonna lie.. My panties dropped I love my G710+ right now, but I am also using my Ducky Shine 2 Blue Switches, and I just love that tactile feeling and click sound. Fuse G710+ with Blue switches... oh mother of god, I'm in keyboard Heaven

    Awesome job Linus & Linus Media Group! Congratulation on hitting the 1 million subscribers milestone, this is only the tip of the iceberg for you guys. I just wanted to say, thank you for all your hard work in creating these videos for the past 5 years. 5 years ago, I was building my second PC, and I was searching up motherboard reviews. Somehow I managed to find your unboxing video on the MSI P55-GD65; which at the time was the motherboard I was deciding on. After your short 2-3min video, I made up my mind. A Black-Blue themed PC rather than a Black-Red (pretty much the only options at the time). Also I am pretty sure you released a (quick) overclocking guide for this specific motherboard also, I found it neat as it was a new feature just coming into the market at the time and to be honest, I didn't know what they were for, since I don't like reading manuals I have been watching every single video you've released since that MSI P55-GD65 video, and I must say, your enthusiasm in each video has not dropped at all. You really are a unique channel! Thank you for the awesome 5 years of video production, heres to the next 5 years for Linus Media Group. P.S - This is the first forum I've actually ever joined, the community here is awesome. I know I don't contribute much, but I am always here reading and catching up on Tech News

    I am soo disappointed with the "Apple WATCH". This design really shows how much they've changed in the past couple years. They've decided to go with a square face.... , which to me shows- design went in with the concept of "SMART" watch first... this product should have been designed like a Watch with a round face, just like how Motorola tackled it. All I can say now is... we miss you Steve Jobs!! rant: DAFAQ is up with the camera bump!? iphone 6... PLUS? ....Companies need to learn how to name their products better. :angry: Sigh, guess ill be picking up a Xperia Z2 (or Note 4) soon... My Nexus 5 has served me well.

    i'm excited for other switches, mostly blues and browns. I was actually expecting a slightly higher pricing to be honest, but happy with the $199 price tag for now.

    Guys, its finally out! Corsair's RGB K70 keyboards have been listed up on PC Case Gear, pricing is AUD $199, this is AUD $40 more than the normal backlit K70s. http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=28729 (Link to a Red LED K70 @ AUD $159 - http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=113_1276&products_id=27146) Right now they only have Cherry MX Red switches listed. I can't wait for either a brown or blue cherry switch to come out Will any of my fellow strayan's be buying this? I personally have a Logitech G710+ atm, and I absolutely love it for typing and gaming, so I won't be moving to a RGB mech keyboard anytime soon.
