The cable management system Seasonic just showed off looks really cool. Would love to see a video about it.

Hello Linus,

 

Would you please create videos for the following?:

 

1. VGA Water Cooling performance vs. Air Cooling performance (we've seen the results for cpu's, but what about gpu's? And are certain gpu blocks better than others?)

 

2. Could you do a video on "What is Microsoft .NET"? (like, an "As Fast As Possible").

 

Thanks!

 

(I'll keep posting this until I get a response...mwuahahaa)

Hey guys,

Just want some community feedback on this. Most of these things are already in the queue to some degree. Just trying to prioritize...

 

You should do a video on GPU requirements for monitor sizes/Aspect Ratios. A subject i have been trying to research and i cant hardly find good information on it. No trustworthy information that is. (For instance i am building a computer and my monitor is an LG 34" 2560X1080 ultra wide 21:9 ratio 75hz freesync IPS panel monitor and I cant find any good information on what GPU to use.) I've been told an XFX RX 580 AMD CPU to make use of that freesync, but at the same time, i feel like i might do better with a 1070 or 70' ti. also, i worry about stuttering, screen tearing, and FPS.

NAS'es for home usage in 2018! Certain criteria must be met. 1, a price must be what everyone considers reasonable. 2, an OS interface that goes beyound simple. 3, future proof.

I have done a quick search on the LTT forums and in the end had to post a thread but haven’t had much useful reply’s from the community –

• https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/928705-rplace-dual-monitor-with-wide-or-ultra-wide-wdual-source-input/

In a Nutshell I am currently a dual screen user, and I would like to replacement aging monitors with either -

• a single ultra-wide that can handle dual input so that the OS see's discreet single and dual monitors.
• a large and small monitor, in LP landscape/portrait mode, the only caveat is the panels for each monitor need to be the same panel tech and the horizontal res. of the smaller monitor matches the vertical res. of the larger monitor.

The above setups would allow me to play a game on either a single large/larger monitor and then when doing design work (The Darkmod),  to put child windows etc into the second monitor. I have in a number of your videos seen various multi monitor setups, so I am hoping that Linus and the team could either make a recommendation or better do a video.

Hello all, Hello @LinusTech 

4 and a half years ago I purchased a Steelseries wireless H headset.  I was stuck in between this and the astro a40's or was it 50's.  I had spent what seems a lifetime of wired into wireless low build quality headphones and on Linus's recommendation I purchased the wireless H due to his assessment of sound and mic quality.  Ultimately his ability to take it to the limit and bend the headset aggressively and twist it to the limit sold me on how my experience was to be expected.  Those headphones changed my life in regards to gaming as well as wireless mobility.  

 

         It has been 4 and a half years and they still work as the day I bought them.  With the exception of a battery purchase that I did at the 4 year mark.  They still work as intended with no firmware update available.  I would like to see the progression of steelseries to the arctis wireless pro.   I currently have purchased them and am wearing them as I type but there have been many versions leading to this one.  Being the person I trust the most after 16 or more hours of reviews in regards to headsets back when I made such a purchase I would think that the community should love to see the evolution of steelseries wireless .  I present to you the idea of   Steelseries wireless  "H to Pro".  Being the best I have seen in actual fun and innovative displaying  of sound and construction as opposed to the standard unflavored ideology that comes with gamer sound I would introduce the opportunity to present a step up comparison of steelseries over the years on wireless as well as the new integrated DaC on the Pro Wired and also if desired a comparison on the other competitive models on the market. 

 

           The wireless H changed my life.  Pro gamers speak of the hyper cloud and why it gives the edge.  I would like to see the only one I have witnessed giving a true all encompassing review of wireless headsets from back in the day, update it to current standard and show benefits in regard to voice sound and updated gaming.  As well as comfort and structure.

 

      I have purchased my headset already.  There are no complaints on my end for my purchase.  As well as none on my previously capable daily driver.  I just think that over 4 generations of wireless sound some recognition to the incremental steps and advancements should be acknowledged by someone non biased and trustworthy.  Someone who looks at the parts not the brands.   

                                                                                                                       

I might also add.  I am not a rich man or of great means.  I worked many hours to afford both sets of headphones without regret.

 

                                                                                                                                                                                   Thank you for your time and consideration

I would like to see some more full setups. Like good Audio systems with the full shabang of Microphones Headphones Speakers, Audio Interface and such at different Budgets.

Linus could you review the new macbook pros. Especially the core i9 and its ‘thermal issues’ . Cant recall but has linus ever reviewed any workstation machines from HP/Dell? Would like to see a review of the HP Z4.. @LinusTech 

 

[JamesTheGreat]

You should do a really in depth video proving or disproving if "ESD" mats and straps are really needed or useful even, when building a PC at home.  Or ANY of the other "Anti-Static" rated stuff "CPU Cooler Hoses, Key boards, Mice, Ect.." is really worth it, or if "ESD" stuff is just for the big boys while this stuff is being assembled...  I've been building, and working on computers and other electronics, bother Personally and Professionally for about 20years..  I've worked on $20k servers with built in Straps, and inside Phone Company CO's on $1,000,000+ DSLAM's (Made by ADTRAN, NOKIA & Samsung), all the way down to desoldering and resoldering blown components on a Mobo, and.... Well I think, for the home user at least, Spending EXTRA $$$ on ESD and Antistatic rated parts and supplies is BS!!!

Thanks

So recently we're getting all these Superhydrophobic coating products (anti-water spray products) and I thought that Linus should make a video where he sprays one of his computers with this spray and see if it still works with the spray and spraying it water after. ALL IN THE NAME OF SUPER EXPENSIVE WATER COOLED PC MASTER RACE!
If it works maybe having a leaky water cooled pc will be less of a worry.
 

 

[kelvinhall05]

I think that stuff is conductive, so no, it wouldn't work.

Well linus has never allowed the possibility of destroying hardware to get in the way of his objectives so I say, why not?

 

 

 

Yeah! Why not! Imagine if it worked!

[ESPImperium]

Not a review, but as we seem to be entering a new phase of power hungry CPUs, what about a new video on power supply’s. A new version of Luke’s video on The Watts Are Too Damn High video?

 

With recommended PSU numbers for AMD AM4 and TR4 sockets and Intel 115x and 2066 sockets across the range using a 1060 3Gb and a 1080 Ti?

[AngryBeaver]

I am all for watercooling projects. Maybe take a stab at multi-system chiller setup. Maybe utilizing some easy python usage and maybe a raspberry pi to monitor water temp, ambient temp, and current humidity so that it can calculate dew point and keep the chilled water a few C above a point where condensation would form.

 

I like seeing projects. Your whole house water system was nice. Your reviews are also helpful for new tech, but those aren't what set you apart from other youtube channels. That is once again the cool projects you undertake.

Linus- DO YOU ACTUALLY READ ANY OF THESE POSTS???

 

I can't seem to find ANY VIDEOS from Linus or JayzTwoCents that discuss where the BEST LOCATION to install the coolant reservoir is...  Or if putting it Vertical / Horizontal is better...  If it should be on the bottom of the chassis, or at the top... Above the CPU/GPU cooler or Below...  Where is best to have it bleed any air out that may be "Stuck" in the system...

AND!!!  Some Cylindrical reservoirs have that extra plastic tube in them... WTF is that for???  

Are the 5 1/4 bay reservoirs that are CHEAP and usually go in the TOP of the system, better than the Cylinders??

Next question:  Reservoir with a built in pump, or stand alone?  

( I just bought a TT Tower900 and it has mounts for 2 Pump/Res combos at the BOTTOM of the front...  I went with Dual Enermax NEOCHANGER ELC-NC200RGB Res's's's..)

Also, as a "side bar" which direction is best for the Radiator for the same reasons... Ports at the top, or Ports at the bottom...

Res up top right before pulp in loop for easy bleeding, the tube is to help with bleeding, and radiator ports at top for easier bleeding. 

 

All optional.

2nd Idea for today!!! 

 

I know i'm not the ONLY person that gets confused with all the RGB LED types... Addressable or Programmable? What about the Connectors, Headers, RGB, RGBW, VDG, WTF!?!?!

Each manufacture seems to use their own NON-COMPATIBLE, NON-STANDARD controllers for RGB fans, and LED strips...

What about a DIY--Multi-LED-RGB-Fan controller???  Sounds like a FUN Project?!?!  (I'm already working on one and preliminary testing shows its DEF possible)  USB Controlled MULTI-TYPE RGB/Addressable/Programmable USB Programmable RGB Light show Controller for my Fans, LED Strips, RBG water Fittings (Yes, I saw the vid and had to have them), and ANY THING ELSE RGB i want to add!!!!  

 

-I'm not looking for answer to any ??'s I have posted here... These are Idea's for an episode that I would like to see... I think they'd be FUN to watch...
