  1. Youtube comments and Reddit seem to be fond of the idea. I'd love to see Linus with a Fairphone 5
  2. Update: Literally minutes after I made this post, I made a baffling discovery. TLDR: the fault is the DAC. So all along, I had the DAC's RCA outputs connected to my speaker amp. An SMSL SA300. But I had it turned off, as I have no reason to have it running if I only want headphones. Well, I dont know how and why, but turning the amp on fixes the headphone output of the DAC. I assume there is some foolery going around with resistances. I dont know. So I guess PSA, if you buy the DAC X6, with the intent of also connecting the back RCAs to something, make sure you can keep the other device powered too, else the DAC distorts the headphone sound. And upon further testing, this issue affects the USB input too. The price of a cheap DAC. It's has quirks.
  3. I have recently bought a DAC+Headphone amp. It's the FX Audio DAC-X6. It was cheap on Drop, thought it would be a good entry level DAC for me. But it seems to be having a problem. Connecting it to my computer via an optical cable, the headphone amp distorts. No matter the volume level. If I turn windows's volume down specifically, but turn the DAC up, the distortion is gone. The RCA outputs are not affected. What is faulty here? I've googled around, reinstalled, uninstalled the Realtek drivers, disabled dolby enhancments, but nothing. I feel kind of bad having to turn windows's volume down, to get an enjoyable headphone experience. And no, I can not use USB, as I am using the USB input for my nintendo switch. The main reason I got a DAC in the first place. My monitor speakers dont do justice to the switch's games' sound. Oh and if it means anything, I'm using a DT770 PRO 80ohm. Have I gotten a faulty dac? Is realtek to be blamed?
  4. Game Boy Advance (the worse backlit one) Game Boy Advance (the proper backlit one) DSLite Switch Not too hardcore on consoles. Though I aprechiate them more and more. If the PS5 is back compatible, I'm buying one day 1, just for those sweet ps4 exclusives
  5. Thanks for the giveaway guys! I'd like a new keyboard, because I'm running a Logi K360, which is while a very functional keyboard, for extensive amounts of text typing and generally gaming, not so much. And I like LEDs. They are shiny.
  6. I have an aging Samsung hard drive. It does do it's job, but an SSD would be... let's see... over 9000% faster. Oh and, everyone should have an SSD, because I'm going nuts by clicking HDDs.
  7. Obviously the size of this thing is breathtaking. But more importantly for me, the M.2 SSD, and the GPU. Like, DAMMIT that box literally has more horsepower than my desktop PC. So yeah. I would be my new computer.
  8. I'd recommend the EUROCOM Shark 4. HardwareCanucks showed it off recently, and it got my attention. Basically what you need, maybe a little thicker than what you'd feel confortable taking to school, but make a judgement yourself. http://www.eurocom.com/ec/configure(1,275,0)ec EDIT: Someone just suggested the ASUS ROG GL551JW-DS71, and it also seems pretty dam good. Though I've never heared of it, so I cant actually tell whats up.
  9. The way I take photos, its selective focus. Definetly.
  10. Sooooo... Um.... Wow. I have no words. That tiny thing is awesome. Of course a 5820x or a 4790k would be better. (Duh cpt obvious) Aaaand 16Gig ram. (Again, cpt obvious) But I always eyeballed with compact systems, and this just gave me a Kreygasm. And as far as I could tell from your reactions, temps were also not only acceptable, but actually good? Hot diggidy!! But you didn't mentions acoustics. Was it louder due to the lack of rubber dampeners? And did you end up using that noctua fan? Where did it even fit? Oh, and chat! Would you recommend such a compact build as a first ever pc build? I mean, is it more complicated than a normal midtower case to work in? Or just in general. Is the compactness worth it over possible higher temps, if I don't intend on pushing it to the limits?
  11. I'm rocking with a dual cote HT CPU. I find it enough, even though I'm a tab whore, but it just barely handles it. (and maybe ram speeds play in it too) I consider quad core a necesseity nowdays. Averedge Joe will have a long lasting PC with it. But I'm getting into 3D modelling, and I tend to stream and game, so I think I could make use of 6 cores. I thing 6 is THE sweet spot. Maybe 6core HT? Anyone?

    Crowded....

    Most often, when you hear the word crowded, you either think about GPUs suffocating each other, or unmanaged cables. But since I have none of those, life throws me somthing else to scratch my head about. My USB hub. Now, you could say, I could just plug some stuff innto my front ports. But its a little more complicated than that, I wont go into it. Just something I tought I'd share
  13. Need it? No. Overkill? Naaahhhh... Want it? YUSSS! I mean, 5k maxed out, AND playable? Sign me up!
  14. Dayum! That giveaway! You guys are... Wow... Love you! SO: Username: Nabalazs I liked this: https://www.vessel.com/videos/JemZ8O7Hy and this: https://www.vessel.com/videos/LCoY5zfFf (because its all about that space, 'bout that space. More storage!
  15. This is the perfect grandma computer. TThanksfor the giveaway
  16. Thanks for the opportunity guys! What would I do with it? Well, since I have been buying presents like crazy for my family i can't really afford the PC parts I want, but i think at the end of january I'd probably buy a motherboard and the new pc case to run this bad boy I'd be using it for video editing, since I make "ads" for my school.
  17. Yey! New giveaway! My fav item in this bundle is the power supply. 750w is plenty for most people, including me, and the fact that it's silent is awesome
  18. Hi. I've benn playing games on my phone constantly, watching content I downloaded on it, and sometimes I want to go big, and do it on the TV. So I figured I'd get an MHL cable. But the problem is, I found there are these 'amount of pins' or something, but someone already told me, that it only matters on Samsung phones. Oooookay then... Then there is power. There are cables, which have a USB power, and some that dont, making themselves like an on the go cable. So which one should be used with the M8? If it doesnt matter that much, then I'd ask your opinion about this cable: http://www.amazon.com/Importer520-Adapter-Samsung-Galaxy-MHL-enabled/dp/B00HS5DHWS/ref=pd_sim_pc_9?ie=UTF8&refRID=17V2WN4D5MF4AMGJ6G78 I've seen this in old youtube videos, where this HDMI phones were big things, but is it actually good? Or 'still' good? And just a little thing: If I were to buy the one with the power, would I need a whole wall of power, or can I just plug that end in the TV' usb port?. (because, TV's USB gives some power. right?) Thanks for the answers in advanced PS.: Not sure if this question classifies as mobile phones or mobile gaming, so please forgive me, if I posted this in the wrong place.
  19. Thanks for the opportunity Linus and zotac Both cards look AWESOME! Though I'm a minimalist guy, so I better like the omega, but if I happen to win the extreme one, I wont be salty either
  20. As everyone knows, Linus has this huge giveaway, and since they couldnt do it on the wan show, I dont know where else to check. And since I'm pretty unfamiliar with how forums work, I dont even know if I'm supposed to have a notification on the upper right corner of that little guy in the speach bubble, or maybe that mail looking icon should blink, OR WHAT? Can someone please give a link, or maybe have they not drawen it yet? Also, sorry for the rambling and what not, but English is not my first language, I'm excited, and a bit frustrated, and overall not the man of worlds
  21. Great job Linus media group! Let's quad SLI that number MY STORY: Like 1.5 years ago, my parents got me a pc. I liked it, but I wanted to know what drives it. But I had no idea how to figure out! So.... GOOGLE TIME! Got my specs, but I still wasn't happy. I wanted to know how it does compared to flagship stuff. And there came.... Well... Actually Logan from TEK SYNDICATE with his gpu and mobo reviews BUT(T)! Then I wanted to know how to BUILD a PC... And there came... Paul's video on Newegg about how to build a PC... LOL. But after! I found your how to build a PC guide too I was into your channel with those frequent reviews, so I subbed. Later on, I also found out about JayZ, Logan, Paul, NCIX, Barnacules... Etc... And that's the story of how I bacome a ner... Ummm I mean... A FAN OF YOUR CHANNEL! <3 Keep up the good work, and I wish you a lot good! <3 PS.: Don't forget to appreciate Brandon (Luke gets the joke)
  22. When I was looking for One M8 reviews on YT, I found that a lot of people frefered the ONE MAX over the M8, due to its size and its usability. Are you excited about a flagship tablet from HTC? Source: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_max_rumored_to_have_snapdragon_805_chip-news-9305.php
  23. I came to the point in my life when I want a flat LCD tv. After I got it, I remembered that phones now days are able to output video. SO! Can the one m8 do that too? (I mean, I'm 99% sure it can, but) I can't find any proof of that, a review or something. Also, I found people having problems with 5 and 11 pin stuff. Do I have to keep an eye on it, or are they just doing something bad? AND also... Ordering online is not an option for me. I only can get stuff from MediaMarkt. So. I didn't really look around, but I know that there are quite a bunch of off branded cables, and I'm not sure if they even have a micro usb power plug on them. Can you give tips on what do I have to look for mostly? Oh, and one I looked at had a derp Nokia phone and a tv on it (probably indicating that it's for my purposes), but I couldn't see a power plug, and I'm not sure that it looked like a micro usb. It was a tad smaller. Ps.: it's my first post on the forums YEY
  24. My fav video from Jay is when he was raging because of the gtx titan. I saw a lot of people put it here, and I was like: they are right. That's the vid I chose for Jay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJfICfX Linus, I can't chose between your vids really, so I'll put the one here that gave the most of that "oh, I didn't know that" face.
