Fan controllers. It's something overlooked, but for custom setups they can be very important.

I would love to see a review on an "affordable" 1440p monitor. Something with a 60fps refresh rate with a panel that doesn't outright suck, but isn't professional quality. I've only really seen reviews of g-sync/near-professional grade IPS monitors at that resolution on this channel.

i7-4790K | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 | G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB)

Gigabyte GA-Z97MX-Gaming 5 | Corsair 350D | 256GB Crucial MX100 / 1TB WD Blue | Corsair RM 650 | NH-U12S

Ghetto external gpu builds! I mean I going to buy a super slim laptop with a college. most likely will have a I5/I7. but no graphics card. If I can run a external card for cheap, thatd be awesome

G Watch R! There hasn't been nearly as much press on this as the Moto, and I'd love to hear a critique.

F#$k timezone programming. Use UTC! (See XKCD #1883)

PC Specs:

Ryzen 5900x, MSI 3070Ti, 2 x 1 TiB SSDs, 32 GB 3400 DDR4, Cooler Master NR200P

The G watch R and the MSI laptop are on the top of my list. G watch R because this is something that people are actually able to afford, but that laptops seems epic, so I want to see that. MSI said that they will supply GPU upgrades for this beast. This sounds like a desktop more than a laptop and I really want to see them.

SiliconLottery.com binned processors.

 

Basically it's a website where you can order Intel CPU's that are already guaranteed to hit a certain frequency when overclocked. They do all the work for you, and include the settings needed to reach the clocks stated. They offer a full refund if the CPU can't reach the stated frequency.

 

They have many prices depending on the clockspeed and voltage you want.

 

I don't think you do enough product reviews for overclockers, and this one in particular is geared towards overclockers entirely.

The number of chips they are selling below retail makes me wonder if they are legit.  But it sounds like a cool service.

They are legit:

 

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/core_i7_4790k_processor_5_ghz_review_a_silicon_lottery,1.html

 

Guru3D did a review on their 5GHz 4790k

 

The guy who runs the website is really nice, there is an ongoing thread at Overclock.net about his service. He even registered here.

I quite enjoyed the Venom Blackbook 15 review. Would be great if you could review some of their other models.

If you could at some point load a custom EFI onto the iMac then overclock it that would be nice :)

I agree with this. I have been tempted many times. I try to stay away from the site or my Visa will get jacked up. Great idea on their part to provide the service. A lot of chips get sold out fairly quickly though. Im on the email notification for a couple.  :D

You can't be serious.  Hyperthreading is a market joke?

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...

Can you do a video about the MSI External GPU?

Caselabs functionality from a $169 case? How can you not review this.

I'd like to see "Running Windows on iMac to investigate R9 295XM performance and thermal throttling"

and also, Parallels on a Hackintosh, with:

Amd cpu, Intel non K and Intel K

Amd Cards, Nvidia Cards, probably some older cards/drivers too.
("The Nvidia driver, starting with 337.88 identifies the hypervisor and disables the driver when KVM is found." form here) probably the same with parallels?

 

And compare it vs Native performance.

That would be a absolute pleasure!

I would be interested in testing the M295M in the Alienware 15 laptop, hopefully there will be less thermal throttling in that thing.

Isn't that thing even some sort of Tongo XT with 2048 cores and a 256-bit bus?
