    Use a proper fish tank temperature regulator that isn't made out of random crap ebay parts that will poison your fish or get clogged with growth deposits.

    descrom93 got a reaction from TSL in GPU Watercooling: Yes or No?   
    Water cooling is great because you can get a stable overclock. You can manually set your fans to 100% and run some benchmarks, it should keep temps pretty low. Run the same benches with a normal fan curve and see if theres a difference. Nvidias GPU Boost is really sensitive to temps. In an SLI system you might want it more, so that the top card isnt recycling the bottom cards heat, they both move heat to the rad. I have a watercooled 1080, and it sticks to 2025 MHz gaming since the temp rarely touches 40 C. O/w is would drop to 1950ish.

    Hi Linus,
     
    I'm not entirely sure if you get a lot of posts directly addressing you or not, or if they get read frequently, but I felt that I needed to let you know my story, because your channel has become something much more than a series of videos that air weekly, to me it's a crutch that helped me regain the grasp on my mental health. I hope you don't mind that this gets personal, but I want to share my story with you and to all that decide to view this post.
     
    In the months leading past last March, I reached a very low point with regards to my mental health; I was suffering from serious depression and anxiety as a result of personal issues that had been dogging me constantly. I didn't know where to go- I was afraid to go to any sort of doctor and wasn't willing to talk to anyone about it because I'm naturally a shy person. I was being eaten up inside my mind and couldn't find a way out, and it was having a negative effect on my college work and general lifestyle, to the point where I was constantly trapped in a cycle my own negative thought, losing sleep and finding myself in a constant state on unhappiness.
    For months this continued, and it got to a point where I had simply accepted the notion that I wouldn't be happy again. My family and close friends all tried their best to help me but it was never enough. However, one September evening I found myself at a friends house where the first episode of scrapyard wars just happened to surface as part of our youtube surfing. I had been a fan of you growing as a young teenager but had lost track of what was current with technology many years prior, but it piqued my interest so I kept watching.
     
    This inspired me to start watching regularly the following week, as I had been interested to keep up with the series and others prior. This was the start of a domino effect- soon afterwards, my whole life became enveloped in tech and news surrounding it. I subscribed to the channels you run outside of LTT, keeping up with all the news and reviews you and your crew get up to as well as your original videos, and for the first time in over half a year, I began to smile again. 
     
    Not only did I begin to smile, but I soon began to shake off the depression and anxiety, brushing it off as an afterthought because I was too excited at the thoughts of saving up to build my own rig. I felt my whole life change with a new focus, and in somewhat of a cliché I began to once again excel in my grades at university and my family and friends all noticed that I was returning to my old self. 
     
    I realise this is going to come across as very bait-ey in an attempt to draw attention to myself, but I really wanted to share this because your content has changed me for the better. Thank you, maybe I can shake your hand one day, pending I catch a means of getting over to Canada.

    descrom93 reacted to DSD27 in tempered glass protector too small..   
    I got this response from the store:
     
    "This model is like this due to the curvature that exists where it does not cover the film (around) because the vacuum does not pick up where it is curved otherwise it gets air and takes off."
     
    Apparently its actually like this because of the curved glass, like @descrome99 said.

    descrom93 got a reaction from DSD27 in tempered glass protector too small..   
    With phones that have curved front glass, a tempered screen protector cant cover the shaped edges without making a "halo" effect. I have the pixel, and it was difficult finding a protector. Idk if your phone has the same design, but it might be an answer. Do amazon review say the same thing?

    Title says it.
     
    I wanted a small cube case, that was my starting point. Choosed i7 6700k, currently 4,4ghz and strix gtx970 that is maxed out at asus gpu tweak, would afterburn(or other tweak program?) give better results? I do professional video editing so those will work at that side too. Then I spotted Dark Rock Pro 3 cooler but it is 163mm tall, and fractal says that 804 has only 160mm space for cpu cooler. My motherboard is asus viii gene and I noticed that the first pci-e slot is quite close to cpu socket, which concerned me a little that will I be able to fit gpu to first pci-e slot with that big-ass cpu cooler. After intensive googling I messaged a user here at LTT and he said that they fit so I ordered the parts, and can confirm, they fit. I have something like 4-5mm to side window and 2-3mm from heatsink to gpu backplate.

    One time I was driving down the road and saw my neighbor walking his dog...I slammed on the gas and ran that furry bastard over. I jumped out the car and before my neighbor tried to kill me, I told him "just a prank, bro!". We still laugh about that moment to this day..../s to the 10th power.
     
    really >_>
     
    All these prank channels need to stop. The only one remotely funny is the one with the gf/bf. The reason being both are in on it! All these stupid videos of people pulling illegal shit like bomb hoaxes and fake kidnappings should face punishment. A couple weeks behind bars is BS I think they deserve more for potentially causing traumatic experiences for the innocent bystanders in the gallery. I know I would have a mini-heart attack if two masked robbers busted into the room I was in.
