Hardware Unboxed - Send the Love If you haven't heard yet, Nvidia has taken action against Hardware Unboxed with regards to the way they have been reviewing the new RTX 3000 Series cards. So myself and a small group of enthusiasts have taken it upon ourselves to help boost the channel in anyway we can. We have donated some money to the channel and subscribed (turns out he does do some decent content, I liked the 6800XT LN2 cooled video) and have been spreading the word far and wide but we need your help. I bring this to the forum in the hopes that the collective masses can help Nvidia see that they have made a catastrophic error in judement. Even if you don't have the money to support a donation to his channel or you rather not subscribe to another youtuber, that is fine, just do want you feel you can, even if it is just a like on a video,( It doesn't need to be any of Hardware Unboxed videos it could be one that has covered this story). This will hopefully show Nvidia how much backlash there has been in the community to their actions and stop this (let's be honest) censorship from happening to our media that we have a passion for watching. Personally I don't go on forums, post content or anything like this really, but after what has transpired I felt I had to do something. If anyone could ask an administrator if it would be OK to have this post pinned for a shortwhile, that would be great. Peace out

It's been a while since I've updated this and I kinda feel bad by not doing so. With this I'll update anything that's happened over the past few weeks. It's been a bit eventful but it seems that what has been happening is kinda changing how I've been seeing my life now. First, tech... As you may of known, I already aquired my GTX 780 Classified and you all know I'm absolutely loving it. Even with the new card I still have my old GT60 for VGA support to my side monitor. Reason behind this is that the 610 with VGA beats my 780 with HDMI in color quality and compatibility. Strange how older tech can still be used, huh? Now I've been able to play more games than before and really has been a nice thing for me. Completed Crysis 2 and going full on in Hawken really gives me fun now. However, there are still changes to be done. My main goal now with my rig is to expand on storage and memory. Currently running 8GB single channel has shown that a few of my programs might benefit from at least twice (16GB). Now with the greater access to my anime shows (thanks @TopWargamer!) it seems my old WD Blue 500GB will have to be used, even at it's questionable state. My main drive is also filling up and it seems I'll have to expand. Second, life... Now life has been a bit questionable over the past weeks. Friends leaving, family seeming to go against you, and my life itself have been a strange thing. As some may know, I've been going to the hospital and my actual state is questionable, I have suspicion and probable proof of something wrong. I already stole the data from the hospital on a CD given to my mother over the weekend. Is there something wrong? I wouldn't know... Another thing is that I seem to have gain the trust of more and more of my friends, which is nice. But some seem to be fading out of their own shells. It's sad to see and now I'm trying to keep them in line and remember that it's all good for now. Same has been done over the weekend and really it does show me how I gotta be more social. I've only become this openly social this year which has become nice. This week was just bowling with a few friends and now next week it's sushi with this chick. It's strange how times change... Is life good now? Maybe... I am already seeing people again and having a bit of more fun in life which is seemingly nice. But the question is... How long will it last? Or better yet, how long will I last to see it?

I am looking for some information on how to set up your pc when you turn it on and its just a black screen?

hey guys, so i am a 14 year old male and in my circle of friends that i know in person and over social networks, about 2/3 are girls. this is mainly because in the town i live (50k people) theres waaay more female people then male (e.g. my class 21 girls, 3 boys with me). yesterday someone told me that they find it unmanly and fuckboyish that i am in contact with so many female people (i have about 80 female friends, 6 really good ones and on a daily basis i write/talk to atleast 10 of them) here in austria too, if you talk to alot of girls people tend to start talking shit so i was wondering what your guys opinion is on this. so, what do you think?

Okay. is it just me or the more i try and help and care for women the more they stab me in the back. yet i am good friends for this gay guy and he treats me like his fucking brother and tells me everything. why is it that women cant accept that i'm not an ass seaking fuck boy, yet they treat them like gods, but an ACTUAL man like me comes along threats her like a GODDAMN princess and cheats on me with a fuck boy even tho she TOLD ME HERSELF that she hates them and they have been nothing but heartbreak to her. i fucking hate women i swear.

So I was in love with this girl right, and we never really talk about music. Then just a little while ago I said something about stairway to heaven, and she's like, "what's stairway to heaven" Then I'm like I don't know if I can talk to you anymore what should I do

Okay gang. I am going to hopefully be quick and sweet with this post. I am currently in the process of learning servers in general. Now this may be a crazy thing. I am sure most will disagree, but I decided to learn ubuntu server version 16.10. I will post the current setup at the bottom. This will be a TEST DUMMY, meaning that I am learning on this and seeing if I can even get to the point where I can look at the server from any computer I choose, whether it's out of the office, at some deserted island. (That somehow has internet, etc.) I was hoping you guys on the awesome forum could help me condense my searches on what I need to know etc. I am sure I need to learn SSH a bit and overall how to get my linux server to be seen at the moment. That's as far as I got. So hosting without having to give people my actual IP address, so using host name is good. From what I have been gathering there is a host command in the terminal that I can use so I am most likely going to start from there. Feel free to post pictures, brag about your server and how super totally awesome it is, anything like that. And of course feel free to learn with me. I will update on what I've done, maybe post pictures. Make this a huge post. What I have installed. ubuntu server 16.10 on a dell poweredge t310. 16 gigs of RAM(I think it could be 8) Xeon processor(4 core?) Set up LVM to make it like RAID config 0 with striping (if I remember correctly, if anyone knows how to look at configurations on the hardware, etc let me know.) Overall most definitely utter garbage haha. But regardless. Feel free to help, aid, post your personal server setup, etc. Love you folks! Hope all is well. I will be in touch.

Saying howdy ho!! Just wanted to say you're all cute! :3

Just wanted to say I am very grateful for how helpful everyone in this forum has been! And for how quickly I can get a response on my questions! Thanks so much!! ❤❤

I just left my girlfriend of 4.5 years 24 hours ago. I loved her for so long and recently I thought I stopped loving her when my crippling depression came back. I left her so I can kill myself. I genuinely plan to lay my head on a railroad track and wait for a train to come by and kill me. But now that I left her my heart and mind doesn't want to die anymore, I just want to be back with her. She is my world, or was my world. Should I stay away from her and save her from myself or should I chase after her?

ok so all joking aside this is not a directly computer related issue. i have a gaming rig i built and like anyone i needed more ram however heres the issue. i bought 64gb ram after i read my motherboard hand book but, there was two things wrong here. one i miss read the allowable gb range of the cards (needed to be 2 and not one). second the site i bout it from listed it as ddr3 but was instead ddr4..... (face palm). so my question is wanna trade lol no but, seriously with the vast amount of hard ware u have u must have something that will work for a m59a27 r 2.0 mb somewhere lol. i have a ddr4 64gb gigabyte server card instead (miss lables). i tried to return it but to no avail they would not take it back even after explaining the situation. if any one else wants to trade im down. i just figured linus would be the most likely to have one. thought it was worth a try to ask. btw love the u tube channel watch it all the time thanks any and everyone X)

Hey, friendly LinusTechTips followers today is My-appreciation day. please send kind words of wisdom and love <3

I'm from Colorado, USA. I love the mountains and hate the dryness in the summer.

Guys i was thinking what if we had our own Linus Tech Tips Dating site. I think it would be a great idea what do you guys think?

Hi! I have to conduct a survey for my English homework, so I thought I'd go to the Off Topic section of LTT and ask you I'd be grateful if you could answer these questions: 1. Are you interested in video games? If not, why not? 2. Do you play video games? Why (not)? 3. How much time a week (roughly) do you spend playing video games? (if you don't, skip this question) 4. What genres of video games are you interested in / do you play? E.g. FPS, MOBA, Casual, MMORPG, Adventure... 5. Do you think that video games can negatively affect a person's future? Thanks a lot!

Just wondering peoples systems. Like your specs and the type of games you play.

Hey guys! I'm wondering what is the best 24 Inch 1920x1080 monitor with a decent response rate I could get my brother for $150 or under. I know you guys know your stuff very well and that's why I'm asking. He doesn't play any FPS games, mostly MOBA's and strategy games. I was currently looking at this monitor but I don't know if it's the best option I have: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/acer-monitor-umfs1aa001 Thanks guy's, and Merry Christmas!

I've been working on this pc for the past year now, it refuses too turn on, it just keeps turning on and off. I've been troubleshooting it myself because im too stubborn too take it too a shop...i figured that maybe the helpful folk at the LTT forums could help. Here is my build. Mobo: GA-G41MT-S2PT rev. 2.1 CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad q9300 2.5ghz RAM: g.skill aegis 1333mhz 2x8 ddr3L 1.35v GPU: Geforce 8800gt bfg tech edition

First off, let me explain how big of an upgrade this is for me. I've never known or even seen a display more than 1080p @60hz, and I've been used to this cheap Samsung T24B350 for over 3 years now. I've been looking for an upgrade for a while and Gsync seemed really important to me since obviously I have a GTX 770, however after seeing the price being only $580 (with freesync) compared to the insane prices of similar Gsync monitors, I was pretty much sold. I've read and seen all the reviews about how terrible the quality control is, but I had higher hopes than that, I mean, when people get something and their satisfied, most of the time they're going to just enjoy it, and forget about writing a review. So only the crazy enthusiasts write reviews and my theory was that they are just too picky. I ordered it on Sunday, and on Monday I saw that it was on it's way, hurray! Except I realized I accidentally ordered it to my parents' house, oops. So long story short, it got there first, and my sweet, beautiful mother had it sent to me the same day, while Amazon was kind enough to refund me the amount it cost to deliver from there to here (in college) I got it today, Thursday, all standard shipping of course, and I couldn't be more satisfied and excited about how quickly I got it. I finally brought it back and opened the package, set it up, plugged it in and turned it on. I almost instantly devastated by a few things. [spoiler= ] I was sure that I had to return it. I figured I might as well test it out in the meantime. Although I knew there was going to almost certainly be a little backlight bleed, the most obvious problem up top was unforgivable! I tried pushing the frame down and messing around with it with my hands, alas, no avail. I started using it with my computed and sweet baby cakes it was deliciously beautiful. I was blown away by the sheer picture quality, and when I finally turned it up to 120hz in Nvidia settings, I was blown away again. It was smoother than a baby's bottom. I didn't want to let go, I couldn't part with this glorious angel of a display. I tried fixing the obvious problem with my hands again. Nothing. I thought to myself "clearly there's a crack in there somewhere," right? I didn't think pushing the frame down would completely fix it. I figured I might as well keep trying, I was desperate. I tired again this time using a paper card, but I couldn't squeeze it in. I used a different card, a credit card, still not getting it. I tried a different spot, the card snapped in between the clean matte bezel, and precious crystal display. I slowly and carefully slid it over towards the problematic spot, and SNAP. The bezel returned to it's proper alignment and since I had a black picture in fullscreen I instantly realized that it was fixed 100%. Returned to it's former glory! [spoiler=] I knew that the back-light bleed wasn't ever going to be fixed, since it's more of a core design flaw. At least at -out-of-box settings, it was obvious, but I used TFT Central's review to change it to optimal settings, and it was hardly noticeable. I could not have been more satisfied. I am currently typing on this monitor now, and the text isn't too small like people have warned, Windows 10 works perfectly with it as well. Nothing out of the ordinary. I fired up a few games and they are astonishing. Dark Souls II looks okay. I tried GTA V, however the game doesn't want to start properly for some reason. Oh well, another time. I am sure gaming is a very pretty sight. In terms of working. What can I say? Photoshop is much easier to use, more pixels, amazing color accuracy. So much screen real estate as well. Adobe Premiere Pro works fine, looks amazing, however I will post later once I finished setting up the dual monitors. Don't worry, I'm using the old Samsung monitor as a timeline, and media bin space, and the Asus as the main preview monitor. I can't wait to get used to it and see how my workflow increases, since I'm already pretty fast using just that one 24" monitor 1080p. This is how everything looks as of now, it's very clean but don't worry, it'll be filed with solo cups, and other crap soon enough [spoiler=] When it comes to having a freesync monitor, yet I have an Nvidia card. I don't care. Gaming is honestly secondary for me, but very important nonetheless. Although considering what I've been used to, I think I can live with having an immense upgrade of a monitor that I was able to afford rather than not be able to afford others or say, the upcoming PG279Q which I know for sure I won't want to spend that kind of money on. The biggest thing for me was IPS, 1440p and 144hz. Although I'm still trying to figure out how to increase it from 120hz to 144hz, any help would be much appreciated! This is such a joy to use. It swivels with little to no effort, it tilts up and down to any degree that anybody could ever want. The height adjustment is absolutely superb. It sits snug, and stays very fixed, and tight. When you try to move it up and down, it feels like an expensive desk drawer from Ikea but a little bit less grease. I can imagine after a couple years it will loosen, so starting it out a little tight was a very smart move. The bezel is tiny, especially compared to my old monitor. This MG279Q is a massive upgrade in every way possibly imaginable. I love playing with settings, especially display settings, and getting the right settings for optimal use, as well as personal preference is really important to me. It provides extensive customization and it will suitable for almost any environment/lighting situation. It gets very very bright, from rooms with windows, and it gets very very dim, for the dark rooms. The optimal settings I used (thanks to TFT Central) was Racing mode at 24 brightness, and RGB, at 100 96 96 respectively. Th built in sound is okay. I think it's important to have that for people who are just browsing, need to hear notifications, etc.. But I would definitely recommend headphones if you don't have any other desktop speakers. I have both, thankfully. (Not pictured) My next concern is how my mouse is going to move from higher density display, to a low one, (eg. the Asus, to my Samsung) I'll post later about that, but I'm sure it won't be any big deal since the Samsung is smaller, perhaps the actualy pixel density is similar. Anyway, it didn't take long for me to fall in love with the MG279Q, and hopefully, others out there that are reluctant to spend $700+ on a similar Gsync or a similar freesync monitor that's affordable... Rest assured, I am happy with my purchase, and I'm glad I didn't wait to spend an extra $350-450 on the upcoming PG279Q. Thank you very much for reading my story/review. I'll have more to talk about later on, so stay tuned!

Buying used works wonders. $400 for a very good condition and little used GTX 980
