  1. The blurb (called a Slogan internally) Is actually written by the writer (in most cases!) For this video, it was: Is it getting hot in here?
  2. It's an editorial decision we're trying out.
  3. There are SO MANY options for stress testing, but which is the best? We put not one but TWO systems through the wringer to find out. Get HWInfo and GenericLogViewer here: https://www.hwinfo.com/add-ons/
  4. This was not a sponsored video - there was no sponsor callout.
  5. It's 8L in volume, and for something with 10gig, a full size GPU and a desktop CPU socket with pretty darn good cooling I think that's the best you can find out there - drop links if you think otherwise. The 8L is also the joke involving the two 4L jugs of milk but Alex decided to change the line I had written in the moment, killing the shot
  6. Intel’s NUC’s are getting good – but at what cost? We’re taking a deep dive into the 12th Gen NUC Extreme to find out. Buy an Intel Dragon Canyon NUC 12: https://geni.us/IOb8 Buy an RTX 3080 Ti: https://geni.us/h4RQnR Buy a 2TB Crucial P5 Plus: https://geni.us/jrkn Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.
  7. Intel’s included CPU cooler’s have been function over form for YEARS – but their new line of in-the-box coolers are looking to change that, and they may even offer better performance too. Buy an MSI PRO Z690-A WiFi Motherboard: https://geni.us/AwXy8Y Buy an Intel Core i7-12700K: https://geni.us/oTUR
  8. It's a ~10ft wide spraypainted dong. It's named "old faithful" and has a gold frame around it. A leftover vestige of the previous tenant that was never painted over (I don't occupy that side of the shop).
  9. Yep - the ear pro is part of why the sound system is a bit large. Gotta get over the whine of machines. I really don't care too much about audiophile precociousness. I just don't have the bandwidth to argue on the internet with sound nerds. Its a pretty wide spread, check out the playlists in the description for a subset. I'm part of the Shambhala Music Festival build team (spending ~3 weeks on the farm every year stagebuilding/showrunning) so the lineup there is another good example. I spent ~$3k+ of my own money on this. I cant believe people get so out of shape when the total doesn't match $5k.
  10. I worked in the bike industry for a few years running carbon crankarm production at RaceFace as a manufacturing engineer - hence the bike stuff. I've managed to pare down the bike stable to only 3 now
  11. You're (probably) not wrong, but I've come to accept there's a limit to my knowledge and knowing when to call in support is a lifeskill. -CW
  12. I'll be here in the comments if you folks have any questions throughout the day :)!
  13. The Cooler Master HAF 700 is one of the craziest cases to ever exist.. I HAF to build a PC in it. Check out the Cooler Master HAF 700 EVO: https://lmg.gg/9jGnZ Buy ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme: https://geni.us/4BGVc Buy ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 3090: https://geni.us/PLJNg Buy Seasonic PRIME 1300 Platinum: https://geni.us/s1Fwj Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.

  15. The 3D printing subreddit(s), Twitter's 3D printing crowd, and prusaprinters.com are all great places to start
  16. The Streacom DB1 Max is a teeny tiny case with BIG dreams – can it FANLESSLY dissipate the 65 watts of heat it claims?
  17. Just buy 1.4 cables because you literally cant use 2.0 yet? If you look at the notes I did test 1x of all the triplicate cables to UHBR10 speeds.
  18. I haven't forgotten about adding the PDF's of the test reports, the cable tester is just being used elsewhere and I'm unable to rip the tests off just yet.
  19. We’re at it again with the Total Phase Cable Tester – this time with Displayport, but with even MORE cables and some results we didn’t see coming. Spreadsheet - https://lmg.gg/DPTests PS: Test Report links will not work as they poll a directly-connected Cable Tester (which you don't have), PDF's will come via this forum post on Monday.

  20. Do you have a dummy dongle in the PC?
  21. We had no problems with CS:GO. Remember you need multiple steam accounts
  22. of course, will do. Still figuring it out.
