    I'm sure it's in a video or something, but what case is he using for the PC with the handle?

    So not even gonna lie, I've had a lot of similar problems Linus has had and I just totally nuked my Linux environment trying to enable freesync and I couldn't believe how impossible it was that nothing worked.  Trying the method from AMD's website only led to some weird font error and when I found multiple other posts talking about editing a .conf to add certain options to a file to enable VRR as well as a few others and save / reboot and freesync should work.  Multiple posts had similar instructions.
     
    Well in nuked my desktop and brought me to a command login that I couldn't fix anything or barely found information on what to do / how to fix.  So naturally I reinstall the OS with the bootloader (trying to keep the data) and after that reinstalled it now brings me to a spinning logo that leads to a command line that doesn't let you do anything.
     
    So yeah, it would be nice if freesync was just a toggle switch or something because I feel really stupid trying to use basic features that feel like they should be a simple button somewhere.  
     
    I'm not sure why everyone has such an excitement to edit files manually.  Just give me a button to press.  Call me lazy or stupid but I don't think I should risk nuking my entire system just trying to turn on variable refresh.

    Similar to the $100,000 build, would be a really cool video to see a dual system setup with two 6 core gaming rigs off of one CPU.  If someone was upgrading a new system anyways, how getting a 3900x with maybe like an x470 Taichi or something similar with Dual 8x GPU capability might allow to run two systems off of one machine with the old GPU and any new GPU they might buy.  I wanted to do a  little write-up on this but even the new hardware I'm getting won't have Dual 8x support and getting an x570 board with dual 8x GPU support would be pretty costly.  That, and I'm backordered for as long as B&H says that I am.
     
    I'm interested in seeing how having a really good 12 core machine that can also be split up into a double 6 core setup for friends to come over or for a S/O might justify having a 12 core machine for the versatility and what benefits or drawbacks might occur vs just building 2 machines.  Like having a dual monitor setup that can turn into two single monitors, using less space, and being able to just turn it into one really badass machine, maybe if it had an accessible design inside to just pop say an NVLINK bridge if you did happen to have two of the same cards.  Also, what the best config would be, maybe running off of each chiplet per machine or crossing them over. Thoughts?
