For gaming on pc, if games could use more then 4GB of ram would they run better and smoother (ram on the motherboard that is)

They don't need to. They need to use more VRAM to store the textures and frames and whatnot to be displayed.

I believe that you have forgot about The Compensator. The V. 1.0 was done in July 31st, and now it is August 29th. I would love to see this one with nvidia's pascal lineup.

As someone heading off to a dorm soon one of my main concerns is my Desktop getting stolen out of my room. Mostly due to horror stories I have heard about that college. So I think it would make for a fairly fun video for you to go through various ways to keep your PC from being stolen with stuff like computer locks, gps tracking, and other silly things. If nothing else it would give you an excuse to wear a ski mask.

It may sound stupid, but if you can drill 2 holes relatively close to each other on your case, and then add a bicycle lock tied to the table leg, so it would be secure. And if it does get lost, you can always order a Tile from amazon and tape it somewhere hidden and secure from burglars, if they even break the bicycle lock.

Linus,


I am an accounting professional and I would like to see a segment on designing the ultimate professional office set up for the closet gamer.  Here are things I would like to hear from you:

 

1.  What system would you design for business use (very professional looking with no LED's and no gamer frills in the case design.)  For the internals, what would you put in a system to reduce the loading and program response time to the absolute minimum.  I hate hate hate waiting for programs to respond.   Would you use RAMDisk?  Does the extra cost of an NVMe drive make sense in a business setting?  Also, you have to make room for a GTX 1080 or Titan XP for when the door is locked and the blinds are drawn.

 

2.  Quickbooks is probably the widest used small business accounting software out there.  I know that tech reviewers often focus on media rigs when looking at the business side of things, but it would be cool if you could design a business rig and test it against some of the common small business tasks.  I realize that most of those are single threaded applications, so can you design a system that focuses on performance on these areas?  I know that is a wierd request, but I think it would interest some of us 30 somethings and self employeds in your viewership.

 

3.  What adjustable standing desk option has the best value.  I am looking for something that will accommodate the 32" 4k monitors comfortably.  I am looking at getting the predator 32" with Gsync, but I do not want the gamer logo showing on the monitor.  Can this be removed safely?  

 

4. Posture is a constant problem for me.  What are your recommendations for the best desk, chair, and other items to support good posture.

How about a rephrased tech guide for picking PC upgrade parts without all the mumbo jumbo added in that I.T. guys seem to LOVE to talk about? :P

 

Not necessarily a "short and to the point" guide... but a "short and to the point" guide. >.=.> It's nice to read the thought processes that you guys have, I do the same thing, BUT it's also unnecessary in the long running scheme of things. Most mainstream gamers take a prebuilt HP or something and slap a GPU into it. What if they want to upgrade but get super overwhelmed by X videos about upgrading because of all the extra stuff being talked about?

 

Stuff like that. Aside from that, adding actual thermal testing to laptops you guys review would be appreciated. That's a HUGE factor for myself as a buyer.

Undervolting or that giant radiator tower (30cm*30cm*100cm) which can passively cool a workstation.

Thermal Paste! All of your reviews on thermal paste are 2 or more years old. I still don't know which one is better, IC Diamond, or Arctic MX4.

Could you review the Asus K501UW-AB78? It's currently $870 on Amazon and has an i7, 960M and a 512GB SSD. Sounds like a deal to me.
