Dear all, i had the thought of using the BTC Mainboards which have a looot of PCI 1x Slots and use these with the PCIe 1x to M.2 Adapter Cards. The Mainboards are fairly cheap and the PCIe adapers have no addidtional chips on them which means that there is no additional powerdraw. overall it should be a lot cheaper then the Flashstor and more customizable. Example: ASRock H110 Pro BTC Mainboard ~50 Bucks + PCIe Adapter ~5 Bucks + Some Usefull CPU (Performance is the Weakness of the Asustor) + Some Ram Overall it should have some decent Powerdraw. What do you think about this approch? Regards Benjamin

HI Guys You have probably already heard about this glory by now: I have found out where you can buy some of the core components. For example, The motherboard: https://www.maxsun.com.cn/2023/0107/5874.html After a short research, i have found out that the Motherboard is actually pretty different than your standard ITX Motherboard. IT has more "plate" on the Ram side of the motherboard. So its rectangular..... also it is as long as a Matxboard The Power connection or connectors is/are on the back of the Motherboard. The GPU Would be the ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3060 Ti White OC, DUAL-RTX3060TI-O8GD6X-WHITE, 8GB GDDR6X, HDMI, 3x DP: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Graphics-DisplayPort-Axial-tech-Technology/dp/B0BRYHR5JY The CPU/ CPU COOLER is shown in the Video, but of course you can opt to take another one that works with that motherboard. I have also found a longer assembly video on Blibili if you are interested: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1xX4y167ET/?spm_id_from=333.788.recommend_more_video.13 Now, all of this leaves me with a question: Where can I Buy the case ? ANYONE PLEASE HELP! XDDDDD LINUS I WILL PAY YOU IF I CAN GET ONE!!!!!!!! All jokes aside, I really want to build this and a video on this would be lovely...

So recently I was just scrolling through YouTube and I came across this video of a guy, adding another 8gb memory, onto a 3070. Thoughts?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001340237782.html So it seems now that this exists, Someone got their hand on some Jags and slapped it on their own board. Anyone here got any guesses on how or if it would perform?

This is the full guide for beginners and experts on DVD (movie/tv show) archival system using plex. This allows you to save all your DVDs to a physical hard drive (or in the cloud if you would like) and play back the video from anywhere! This guide strictly shows you how to use plex media server on your hard drive on your desktop. We do not show how to setup the cloud! Lets Begin: 1. Find an old machine to host your plex media server on, Plex states that the media server program can run on windows, MacOS, Linux, NVidia Shield, Netgear Nighthawk X10 Router, and many popular NAS devices such as Drobo, Netgear, Synology, etc. Check the requirements for your system here: https://goo.gl/6gXiSw Please Note: You may save your video, music, and pictures to a plex server in the cloud, only if you have a plex premium account. More here: https://goo.gl/7lBfqp 2. We purchased the dell PowerEdge r900, a 9-year-old server for $350 (purchase and shipping). The server has 128GB of DDR2 memory, and a 500GB SATA Hard Drive in it, but that will be plenty for most people's needs 3. Next, we installed a fresh copy of windows server 2016, though plex media server can run on most desktop versions of windows 4. Now we were ready to install plex media server: 1. Download the latest plex media server from here: https://www.plex.tv/downloads/ 2. Now run the installer, once the installer opens, you can click options to change the installer directory, then click Install: 3. Then, click restart to reboot your computer or server 4. Now that the computer is restarted, search for plex media server and run it, it should now be running in the taskbar of your computer. 5. Now we have to setup the directories and account systems for plex 1. Right click the plex icon in the taskbar and click Open Plex... 2. You will now see a login screen, here is where you will be creating your plex account. 3. After you get logged in, you will see a screen that will tell you to buy a plex pass, just click the X in the upper right-hand corner of the window 4. Next, give your server a "friendly" name and then click next 6. Now we are going to setup the libraries so plex can find our music, pictures, movies and more. 1. I created a PLEX directory inside of my C:/ Drive on my server 2 Within that directory, I put folders for Movies, TVShows, Videos, and Music - You will notice that I have a (s) in front of some folders, those are folders that I share with other plex users so they can connect to my server - (SIDE NOTE) Stick to the end of the guide and I will show you how I converted all of our DVD and Blu-Ray disks into .mkv files for plex at full resolution! 3. These are where you will attach your libraries for plex to recognize your videos. 4. I will let you setup this part, because the way the file system is setup, is up to you! 7. Here is how I converted all of our DVDs to .mkv for plex 1. I downloaded MakeMKV here: https://goo.gl/nHiJzr 2. As shady as the program may seem, is it one of the best "free" ones, and it does not contain any extra software. 3. MakeMKV will convert your standard DVDs for free always, and your blu-ray disks for a 30-day trial (NO SIGN-UPS!). That should be enough time to convert all your blue-rays. 4. Insert your disk into the server/or computer you would like to rip the disk to. 5. For this fine example, I have placed my treasured Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix Disk into my server. Then I opened MakeMKV. 6. When the program opens, it should show a lot of data, click the large DVD icon to gather chapter resources. Give it some time especially for some blue ray disks it may take longer. 7. Next, you should see a couple of options under the DVD. There can be many of these. You want to find the title that has the highest storage amount, sometimes you will see a blu-ray disk with multiple high storage Title, only select the first high storage Title. Most Blu-Rays will have 28.2GB Titles for the main movie, and most DVDs will have 6.8 GB titles for the main movie. YOU DO NOT WANT TO CONVERT ANYTHING ELSE BUT THE MOVIE ITSELF! 8. Once you have selected the correct title, set the output folder to your MOVIE directory of Plex, and click Make MKV. 8. The Full Plex Tour & Setup 1. I have received questions regarding movie setup and TV show setup: 2. Once you have exported a movie for instance; the file name may be: Harry_Potter_and_The_Order_of_the_Pheonix_T00, if you rename that file in your Plex Movie Directory to Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix, Plex will automatically find it and set it up within your plex server 3. As for TV Show Setup; here is how I did it: I will be using the Cosby Show for instance. COSBY SHOW EXAMPLE DIRECTORY: /TV Show Plex Directory /The Cosby Show /Season 1 s01e01.mkv s01e02.mkv s01e03.mkv /Season 2 4. Plex should then automatically detect each season and episode of the TV Show. You should now be ready for installing plex on all of your devices and watching anywhere!!! If you have any questions regarding setup, how to broadcast, or general ideas about Plex let me know below!

Hey there LTT community, first time forum user, long time watcher. I'm sorry if this is inappropriate for this forum I am new here, please correct me if I've done wrong. So I had an idea when browsing PC components and watching LTT, about what are the choices of 6 core CPU's in 2017. With the release of Ryzen and the whole confusion of LGA 2066 and X299, I though that it would make a good video, compering the hex cores, and to CPU's with more and fewer cores to find out if they are at a better value, gaming performance and multitasking all with cost in mind, including motherboard prices. That maybe a little vague (and in the completely wrong place), but feel free to ask me question or if you feel like it point me in the right direction. Thank you to anyone that made it this far, you're awesome!!

usually you have your cpu cooler sideways right, I wonder if there is better temps having a flat cooler

Hey guys, I have been a long time fan of Linus Tech Tips, and I really enjoy the more technical work that Linus does with Anthony. So, to add on to potential ideas, they already had, I would really like it if they test out our little project that me and my friends made. We spent a lot of time on it and it is really taking shape. The test version will work for Windows, but the final product will run on a raspberry pi. This is free to use, and it should really help drivers. The program is a driving assistant that you can control with the google assistant. It will detect if you fall asleep non-obtrusively using a webcam and machine learning. It also has a HUD that can be enabled to map out obstacles in front of the car. All the processing is done offline so you don't need to worry about privacy like other products. The final product will be cheap since all you need to buy is a raspberry pi and 2 webcams, and the software will be free. It would be great if other users on the forum can also test this since we are just high schoolers, and don't have a large pool of people to help beta-test this product. Please report any issues to the GitHub repo. Thanks again, and Anthony, please make Linus do a video on this, I really want to see him try and figure this out. Here is a link to the GitHub repository: Driving Pal Thanks!

I've been planning a black and gold pc build, and I want the cables for my AIO sleeves to be gold. I can't find any gold sleeving online. What can I do? Is there a way to paint the sleeves?

Is it possible to edit on Linux and if so what do you need to do it like what hardware and software and the distro of Linux and the editing software And if yes how is the experience and how does it compare to finale cut and adobe premiere

Hi guys. I don't know if this is the right place to post videoideas (or if there is any place)... but I have this really cool idea. They should do scrapyardwars in foreign countries like Germany or England. It would be really funny and interesting to watch in my opinion. They also would not be recognized that fast.

I would find it really interesting, if Brandon would talk about the camera setup he uses for the CES 2018 show coverage and for example Taran about how the editing is done for CES (little bonus would be - if Taran can still cut videos without using at least 3 keyboards)
