@LinusTech@nicklmgcould you rename the title to: Thread For Tech Quickie Video Suggestions

3 years have passed and its still says temporary its bugging me out a bit

Temporary has no time limit, friend.
 

Yeah jk I will

What is a PC as fast as possible

[brune67]

Power supplies as fast as possible - explain the rating system, how they work, single vs multiple rails, etc

[-Old-Tom-]

Multi-meters. types, what they're used for, how one might use them in a computing environment (like creating Frankenstein PSU adapters).

Have GPU (display) connectors been done before? Display Port, HDMI, DVI-D, DVI-I, VGA, etc.

last week or so a new zealander did a cheap water bock build ( used parts "specialist".... ) (LOL)............ anyways he installed the water blocks using zip ties. you could see from the video it wasn't making good contact and the results proved that. I was wondering what the differences would be ( using zip ties ) or anything else you could think of, what the actual temps would be vs "stock' hold downs on various water and HS&F configs........ ( techyescity ) was the site.

 would also like to know what configurations other than ties or stock that you could come up with do work well enough to get you by. you know not all used hardware comes with all the "new part" items and some people might get stuck and not be able to find a fix.

I've seen the video about Display-types. But could you do another one with (super)AMOLED?

Would be nice.

Thanks

Yes:

Probably should have done a search lol, thanks.

Yes, sort of:

Suggestion: laptop coolers

 

Not sure if this would be better on a techquickie type of video or a benchmark / testing type. Are laptop coolers kind of a scam? Laptops are supposed to be designed to handle their thermal load under regular situations / ambient temperatures (except maybe HP laptops! just kidding...), so what's the point of the cooler?

 

- Could they even be detrimental in disrupting the airflow path the laptop normally has?
- Are the weird vacuum types that suck air out of the side exhaust better?
- Many people say one primary purpose is for using a laptop for your... lap, or for soft surfaces like a bed
- Overall noise level could decrease perhaps, since a laptop cooler has a much larger fan that can run at lower RPMs to cool the laptop
- Do cooler temperatures really extend the life of the laptop significantly, or will something not related to thermals fail first?

go back and review physx card applications with higher end cards ( 970 on up ) and complimentary physx card variations. ( LOW END 32 cuda core cards on up ) ( 610's/7oo series 750/etc. please use more modern games.

How about (maybe not a tech quickie, maybe a full ltt, but then again as processor tech isn't moving fast these days)

 

A video where you benchmark a range of cpus (old mid range and so on) and show where the cpu/ memory bottlenecks the GPU for a range of cards.. or find the top card for a range of chips from core2 duo's, q6600 , i7920, i72600k, AMD phenom II and so on..

 

A reasonable range of processors and the top card to use for a range of games

 

My Idea is that you can say for x processor (eg i7 920 @ stable oc) in y range of games (like civ, cs, crysis) and the top card to use before bottlenecking is abc (civ is processor heavy, so I expect it would bottleneck reasonably fast) like a GTX 960/780 etc

 

More useful for the folks on low budgets (scrapyard wars like) but possibly VERY useful for the foreseeable future (would only need an update every few years to stay reasonably relevant)

 

Hope you get it and think it would be worth doing

 

TLDR

Bench range of ~8cpus (older systems from dual cores to reasonably modern quads from both AMD and Intels most popular) with a range of older or lower end GPU (best bang for buck in 4 price ranges maybe?)

Find optimum gpu for set of gaming loads (eg a 580 for a Core2duo running abc type of game or a 280 in xyz game)

[Megahurt]

The difference between integer and floating point, what kind of workload benefits from which, which is more important for gaming, etc.

 

Also how Hyperthreading is managed, is it windows ? How does it know to use 2 threads on different cores vs 2 on the same core, etc.

Custom CPU heatsinks for non-K / non-overclockable CPUs? I think one historic argument is for extending the lifespan of the CPU, but CPUs seem to be pretty invincible these days and never fail. I guess the main thing would be noise levels. Would a cheap but decent $20-30 cooler actually help reduce noise by a lot while idle / under load? Is it impossible for stock heatsinks to thermal throttle?
