What should I review next?


Searching the web, I've seen a verity of opinions on M.2 heat sinks and how to install them. I think it would be good video topic with tests:

-Some say m.2 were designed to operate within safe parameters as-is and do not need heat sinks. Furthermore some MFRs like Samsung use the product label on the chips to dissipate heat via a copper embedded within the label.
-Some say if said m.2 has copper embedded label to leave it on while installing heat sink.
-Some say to leave the label on when installing heat sink because removing the label voids warranty.
-Some say remove label, because it will limit heat transfer into the heat sink when installed.
-Some say don't bother because "required" label removal voids warranty

I personally own the style below, found on amazon for $12 but have not yet installed it.

Yes, but 4 years ago... They're a lot smarter now with a lot more money to put into it. 

Most research labs do multi-room water cooling with chilled water (with many multi-kW devices).

 

If you do it right it's fantastic.

Last I checked, whole room water cooling was mostly a success but failed due to corrosion and all the loops got gunked up.

It was successful except that it failed. Right.

Start pressing the fact we are stagnant in 64 bit.  Where's 128 bit? Because of this, we need a video where you bust the status quo on whats considerd an acceptable usable computer for the average user, or small buisness. There's alot of old cpus (ex: phenom 2's, core 2 duo/quad with big enough cache) out there that can still edit digital audio (pro tools, adobe audition) Not saying play games on it, except doom95 or try fps on csgo... why would anyone use google chrome when they make firefox? 8gb of ram is still acceptable but it's time to encourage people to step up off the 4 and 6gb... put an older workstation gpu amd/ati firepro v5900 or nvidia equivalent quadro on it and overclock it. Alot of people get by on 2 cores with a no vram ssd. Single core seems to stay relevant even with all these excessive cores.. With all that "junk" you could justify a sketchy power supply, and using one of those paper thin rosewell cases. Which i would still not recommend the rosewill scm-01....

It said not to be a dick,  but with your snarky slow keyboard warrior quote wit, nervermind: Nobody uses Microsoft edge. Nobody real. I bet you'd say internet explorer is fine next.  Stop compensating so hard. Nobody actually cares about your computer but you.  Your responses were generic dribble like you're the only one watching rileys videos, but you don't actually know riley failed at making a decent old pc. So idk what crawled up your ass.. Cheap power supplies don't cause house fires.  People that don't know what they're doing create fires. Ive got tons of builds with an Ebay psu, and they do just fine. Especially without you. Buy what old systems? Alot of that stuff is given away.  Its still hanging around only a true consumer would assume spending money.  Linus makes tons of pointless videos and yet here you are. The second i read Microsoft edge i knew your response would be meaningless.  Try not to be a compensating dick to the next person you quote.

To add further where the hell do you get off thinking im talking about something like a Pentium 3. Did you know athlon64x2 can run 64bit windows 10? Did you know cinebench benchs your single core speed? Did you know most  programs only need single core.  Did you know amd workstation video cards run csgo alright? I cannot believe you actually thought i was talking about a single core cpu.. did you know 64bit came out back in 1975? Jeeez kid

you are just providing false info here

 

most programs can at least use quad cores, most even more, windows can run on one core, programs on another

 

and you know, I as a psu guy think you can easily start a housefire with a cheap psu

Time to uprgarde that old electrical.  That's what linus needs to do next.  Explain how house power works.  How to properly put a load on your house.

that has little to do with what either i and @LienusLateTips meant

I just built another scrap computer while you were typing.. cheap solid gear psu. Works great. Old cpu has a 6mb cache. Works alright for minecraft. Its plugged into a dedicated outlet.

A couple of Chrome tabs? I've ran 30+ Chrome tabs, multiple large MS Word documents, and many other programs all at once with 8GB of RAM.

 

And whether or not it's expensive, that's up to debate. Not everyone can afford 16GB of RAM, and I hope you realize that.

Considering that ~30% of people are still using dual core CPUs, I'd say there are people in the market for older systems. (Source)

Could you review the steelseries arctis headphones (The Arctis 3 Bluetooth in particular)  News outlets rave about them, but user reviews are a very mixed bag, so I want to hear what yall have to say.

Pro vs. consumer GPU comparison for architectural software!

 

I would really appreciate a comparison between how Quadra cards and Geforce cards (and the AMD equivalents) perform in some of the most common architectural softwares. Such comparisons are surprisingly absent on the internet and a review from LTT would really fill in this gap. I've listed the most popular architectural softwares below (in Sweden). Feel free to add more.

The architectural industry (including my company) spends a lot of money on workstations with Quadra cards. Despite the lack of facts supporting this choice (?). Do we even have to do this or could we save A LOT of money? I know that some CAD softwares oriented towards engineering (e.g. SolidWorks) benefit from Quadra cards (I saw Linus review on this topic), but this request is for architectural softwares specifically.

I've seen you review wifi and powerline products but never MOCA adapters. Could you please do a thorough review on MOCA 2.0? Amazon has both the Actiontec brand as well Motorola.

Not a review suggestion, rather a DIY idea.

 

Making a 144Hz monitor from a Laptop replacement screen and a controller board and testing the latency and color. Detailing on how hard is it to do.
