Scrapyard Wars 7 FINALE - NO INTERNET

[NumLock21]

That Xeon 1620 v2 is unlocked and can be overclocked. The reason it can is most likely the chipset and Lenovo bios that's preventing from doing so.

when playing Fortnite, you should aim your dive a little away from the destination, and then aim at your destination when switching to the glider

This season was flawed, how did they download Fortnite without the internet?!?

Can anyone tell me which phone Luke is seen using in this episode?

Guys,

That was a good season, however I would love to see a return to the modding seasons.

 

Can I suggest something like a performance per kilogram modding contest? (I suggested something like this in the past).

 

With rules such as:

• Everything must be affixed such that the computer can be picked up and rotated upside down without it falling apart.
• Any adapters (not cables) required to connect, Power cable, Network Cable, Keyboard, Mouse and monitor counts towards the weight.
• Score done as performance/kilograms.

If you allow some dedicated modding time you will end up some people removing 95% of the case (or building one?), maybe cutting that heatsink in half? Or an ITX board? Mobile cpu? Modding the PSU to remove the weight? Undervolting to drop the heatsink from the video card?

it would just end up with both of them with a Raspberry Pi (or equivalent).

Imagine if either one stumbled onto a free computer, one maybe being tossed out that had just enough cpu ram and you to run the benchmarks. They would win as any performance at the cost of nothing is would win the bang for the buck with an infinite score.

 

maybe Linus should have tried to sell the ram, but good luck without internet.

Scrapyard Wars Series 8 No Internet and No Phones

 

Or Only able to source things in a 5 mile radius (around 8km)

Season 8 Idea:

The next level, use of for parts or not working hardware (Scrapyard Wars Season 8, For parts or not working; testing your repair skills)

• Allow 3 weeks to build best bang for buck system
  • Allows for shipping time for ebay/amazon/newegg/memory express purchases; yes local in person sales are valid
  • Buying parts on forums is also allowed
  • 3 weeks makes economy shipping from china unreliable within the deadline
  • You can sell/buy parts from your opponent
    • May reveal what you are going for or trolling your opponent
  • You may sell anything you buy anywhere you want
    • Sales must be completed within 1 week of the builds completion
    • This means you can sell fixed parts for profit, so it is in theory possible to build your system and have more money than when you started
      • Any end game profit exceeding the allotted funds are awarded to the winner of season 8 as prize money (in form of hardware and/or cash)
        • For example if allotted 2k and end up with a completed PC and have 2.1K remaining, $100 and the build go to the winner of season 8
          • This makes Linus's spreadsheet work more complicated
        • Profit going to the winner prevents just using the allotted funds to make profit (screw the game I want profit)
• Must use at least one part sold as not working, for example:
  • Bent pin repair needing
  • Untested
  • GPU with a no video out problem
• Bonus points are awarded at 60 FPS, 75 FPS, 120 FPS, and 144 FPS
  • Prevents winning with unplayable hardware and rewards a better user experience
  • Award points do not scale in such a way to allow a 144 FPS to beat a 60 FPS in spite of a significant price difference
• You may use company hardware to test components
  • Do not kill a known good cpu with a bad motherboard like Jay did:
