Yep. I don't think those other guys really pay attention to anything.

Did anyone making these comments even watch the video? lol

 

Some users here(minority) merely post for the post counts, some of them don't even read full the OP/watch a video before posting just to post fast. Gladly that's only a few(basically the same users), in other forums is a lot worse.

this screams affiliate & sponsors.. Especially when there's products that are the same thing, for cheaper & do the same thing with the same performance.

 

Do you even watched the end? of course it has sponsors. dont expect the 25min video was flimed, edited and uploaded in just a blink. Common sense people.

Time to upgrade for 4k... oh wait... this pretty much is my machine. Damn it, now i have to find a different excuse to build another pc.

 

I'd still be hard pressed to run my cpu cooler as front intake. I'd much rather have the fresh air going to straight to the video cards... which in most games i play, are doing far more work and cranking out much more heat than my 4930k, which runs surprisingly cool.

Not sure if this is intentional, but the video seems to be flagged as Unlisted. This nearly caused me to miss it (I don't check this part of the forum very often) and I'd bet I'm not the only one.

 

Great video though, I really love your build guides.

what was the website to download all the freewares like vlc, avg, flash, etc in one place?

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

would wait 4930k is only 6 cores/12threads for same price as 5930k will be. Haswell-Extreme 5930k which will be 8 cores/16threads supposed to be coming out September along with X99 Motherboard and Crucial is releasing DDR4 ram in August.

 

3gb 780ti's can't handle 4k gaming if you turn the AA to max Battlefield 4 uses over 3gb of vram maxed out and Crysis 3 is using 3.6gb at 4k res maxed AA

Looking purely at the video, personally I feel like there are some small precautions and stuff were left out of the video. So if standing from a complete "noob's" perspective (first time builder, no prior knowledge or insight on computer building, etc), I don't think this is the guide to follow. But hey, a complete "noob" is probably not and probably shouldn't be building something like this as a first build, at least not as of now. Also personally i would've wanted 140mm for the rear fan as well, but I'm sure there was a limiting reason. Great video :D

PC Specs:

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K (Stock Speed)  Motherboard: Asus Z97 Sabertooth Mark-S  Memory: 4x8GB Klevv GENUINE DDR3 1600MHz GPU: EVGA GTX 550Ti PSU: Corsair RM850

Good job on the video guys.

1 question though. It is alright to enable fan control on the AIO water pump? The pump was plugged in the cpu header and you set the cpufan profile to "silent".

I don't know if Linus answers to these topics but I would like to ask why he chosed BitFenix Spectre PRO LED over BitFenix Spectre non-PRO LED that has been "proved" (quotes because I may be wrong) to be superior both in cooling AND noise levels.

 

EDIT: And Spectre LED (non-PRO) has a PWM version too.
