Thread for Linus Tech Tips Video Suggestions

The Segotep TYPHON PC case has the motherboard sideways with exhaust going out the back.

Would be an interesting build to test thermals as the GPU would be in front of the fans which is where the air comes in.

Hello Linus Tech Tips!

My name is Omar and Im from Sweden. 

I recently purchased a 3080 Gigabyte Gaming OC for 12 000 SEK. I am experiencing a very strange problem with the card. My 3080 clock only to 900Mhz while gaming and with 165W power consumption. It's half as much as what 3080s supuced to perform. I have tested everything and got no better results. I think it would be an intressting video if you are intrested in talking the card from me and test it and see why it behaves like this and maybe make a video on it I have searched on youtube and found no videos about this.

This card has a switch to change between "silence" and "performance". Check that it's on Performance.

Just watched the recent video "LTT is About to Change." The part with the temperature controled sound/thermals lab, got me thinking. 

 

I work in HVAC building controls/automation. There is a manufacture called Reliable Controls, based out of Victoria BC. 

 

I would love to see a video using their(or others) controls for the testing lab. 

 

Reliable uses an open source protocol called BACnet, and a programing language that is an offshoot of Basic called Control basic. 

Anyway, hope to see this!

Make a video about WineHQ and DarlingHQ packages on Linux.

Watercooling with soluble oil (the machining fluid). 

You guys like your watercooling vids. I'd be interested in seeing how soluble oil performs, good or bad. Could be terrible.

I have to give her a 10 for imagination, 2 for practicality and maybe an 8 for engineering...

I built a Computer... but it's different

I'd recommend when Radeon 7000 drops to take a look at the Radeon Pro cards. Performance difference is <5% between them and their gaming variants, for example when the 6600XT came out how surprised everyone was and no one had tested the W6600 that performed nearly the same and launched months earlier. They're a bit more expensive than the gaming cards but in this market they can sometimes be found cheaper, especially used.

I meant that since you put some info in the title instead of the post that has now been lost.

Now i'm not sure if this is even possible to do but i wonder how a video series about building a pc made up of 4 motherboards would look like.

A custom case, multiple motherboards all with gpu and that would all run the same windows environment to show gaming performance, rendering time and maybe some research application.

But mostly why this is a bad idea and no one should do it.

Bonus points if this is done with laptops components.

 

Maybe i forgot and something like this was already done, if so please link it to me as i would like to watch it.

Would like to see an investigation of solutions to add uninterruptible power supplies to all the components of a home mesh wifi network.

It's not a video suggestion, but PLEASE do not send podcasts with the video files in Spotify. They keep streaming the video even if you turn it off. Moreover, I don't think They do any video compression, so it just gets intolerably laggy(especially with my crappy internet). So PLEASE do something about this.

How about a video on all the games everybody at LTT plays regularly?  Good choice for the holiday season in particular.

I've been looking for a new gaming chair, hadn't seen this one reviewed yet. So was gonna suggest it, would love to know what y'all think? https://www.hendricksgin.com/us/dnsct/gamingchaise/?fbclid=IwAR3wbcNt_5RkvhPAq3cNzZ7OEpaD9wdQ_Zj7dMXyh7LvuAydIZa6BX3x5oI

I have a little project that I'm doing for a good cause at the moment that I think with your access to much more tech and tech minds than me you could probably do 10 times better. I've been using a pc remote dialed into a few old samsung phones I had lying around and a macro clicker to view ads on Samsung global goals. With 4 phones its currently making around $500 Australian dollars a week to donate to the UN sustainable development fund. I'm sure you guys would have lots of old phones lying around and the technological know how to streamline the process. I'd sure love to watch you guys undertake this and see how much you could raise for a good cause. (The photo's a bit old I'm at about $4,500 in all time donations now).

I have make the choice to purchase a Surface Duo 2. I plan to uninstall as many useless apps as possible. I am doing so to see if that would clear up some of the buggy OS issues.

 

I was wondering if you guys could work your magic and hack both generations and see if a new OS, or a hack would make them work better. I am sure, with all of the crazy hacks I've seen on your channels, you could come up with something. I am looking forward to many more Linus drops in the future.

How about a nice cheap $25 round up on headphones? Or better yet compare different peripherals with LOW / MED / HIGH price points. 

 

I saw this Unbox Therapy comparing the cheap $15 toaster with the $400 Japanese, maybe something like this but with headphones, mice /keyboards etc.

So, My mom when she was in the seventh grade bought a IBM XT from 1983. Now, the computer probably hasn't been turned on since 84 but we have the monitor, keyboard, and computer obviously with all of the boxes and no exterior damage whatsoever. What I am getting at is if there is any thing where the company could take it off my hands for obviously not free, but for some price and turn it into either some sort of review but maybe take it and turn it into a undercover machine. But what I would really like is if Brian the electrician could take it off my hands. It is going to be most likely thrown away if no one takes up this opportunity. Let me know, Thanks!

Started studying to renew my A+ and now I'm reminded how bad technical textbooks are. It would be the perfect FloatPlane exclusive series to have a PBS crash course style certification training.

It would be a crime to make a sleeper out of a machine in good condition with packaging etc, if you're not finding anyone who wants it and would appreciate it contact someone like LGR or equivalent retro youtuber in your region who'd be more appropriate for making a video out of it and have contacts to find it a good home if they don't want it themselves.
