Thread for Linus Tech Tips Video Suggestions

[Phyren]

You guys should do a video testing if disabling hyperthreading on thin and light gaming laptops can increase game performance by improving thermals and improving the turboboost

I assume one is on the way, but i think the Black Shark 3 Pro needs to be on LTT.

 

Comes with an external cooler with a TEC, and is just a really cool phone WITH A HEADPHONE JACK

Linus Tech Tips

 

I recently spent a good few days of my quarantine on ebay, newegg, and amazon acquiring everything needed to do my first PC build. I have also spent a large amount of that time watching your videos for tips and insight on what to buy and how to put it together. Your content is awesome and really entertaining, plus its super informative.

 

At this point I am just waiting for 1 or 2 more pieces to arrive and I will have everything I need. While at work (I'm in an essential job) dreaming about putting everything together I had an interesting idea. I thought it might be a cool video idea to do like a quarantine edition build assist in which you would talk me through putting everything together over skype (or something similar). I'm honestly a little scared, but definitely excited, to put everything together myself. I am more mechanically inclined than electronically though. 

 

So here is what I bought.

 

CPU: 

INTEL® CORE™ i9-9900k

MOTHERBOARD:

Gigabyte Z390 AORUS MASTER ATX LGA1151

 

MEMORY:

OLOy WarHawk RGB 64 GB (4 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200

 

GPU:

ASUS ROG STRIX Geforce RTX 2080 ti White Edition

 

CPU COOLER:

Corsair H100i RGB PLATINUM SE 63 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

STORAGE:

Seagate EXOS Enterprise 16 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Seagate BarraCuda Compute 2 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive (I know I should have gone with an m.2)

 

CASE:

Corsair 500D Premium ATX Mid Tower Case

 

POWER SUPPLY:

Corsair RMx (2018) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

 

CASE FANS:

Corsair LL120RGB LED (Three Fans With Lighting Node PRO) 43.25 CFM 120 mm Fans

 

MONITORS:

Asus ROG SWIFT PG278QR 27.0" 2560x1440 165 Hz Monitor

Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q 27.0" 2560x1440 165 Hz Monitor

 

KEYBOARD:

Logitech G513 Carbon Wired Gaming Keyboard

 

MOUSE:

Corsair M65 RGB ELITE Wired Optical Mouse (I already owned this)

A keyboard that I have found and quite really like. Might just be my inexperience with keyboards but for $70 Aud, a full mechanical keyboard, individually addressible rgb backlight, metal construction. I was blown away with this keyboard and cant see much reason to buy any other. The brand is Tecware. The model I chose was the Phantom RGB.

What software do you need for the RGB?

really? i've been out of town lately with my gf so i may have missed it. can you send the link?

[JamesTerryMitchellJr]

I think you should (when travel is okay again) visit The8BitGuy in Texas & as a challenge see how much you can upgrade his stuff while still keeping the retro aesthetic. Possibly take an old af laptop & ship of Theseus upgrade it bit by bit until it is competitive today, like the inverse of a hackintosh using the old Mac case & putting a windows computer in it or trying one of the “newpc” usb Linux things in one of the old MacBooks he has lying around. 

 

Also could you make a computer that has F connector input & output like a vcr so one could digitize their vhs collection & also record from the computer onto vhs tapes both as video that will play in other vhs players but also as a tape drive to store digital data & read it back later.

I have a suggestion for another DIY episode thingy, a raspberry pi based network security camera setup or generally camera setups and what to look out for when you want to store all the footage.

time to go full conspiracy theorist and compare you to all mods, wish me luck

There's no final answer... Unless you accept "usually works, but sometimes may not or may result in lower performance" as a final answer.

[mp0991]

You guys have alot of awesome videos on the best hardware and comnputer setups, but it would be great to see full setups tailored for specific uses.  A video for the different PC and peripheral setups for different use cases. Show the PC build and specs, monitor/s (size,quantity, layout), desk, chair, mouse, keyboard, speakers, DAC, ects, pick which would be most beneficial for that use case.

 

Do Best Performance/ Value and a Ultimate version for each scenario:

 

1) Gamer Setup

2) Coder/ Programmer

3) Stock/ commodities Trader

4) Video Content Creator/ Streamer

5) Editor photo and video

6) Audiophile/ Home recording and music production

How about a tutorial about how to build yourserlf a DIY Smart-Mirror?

Saw some of these with Raspberry Pi or even Google Chromecast and thought these were pretty cool

[Pa1yn]

Building a dirt cheap nas that runs on the smb protocol? 

 

Maybe a hard-line watercooling guide?

Comes with its own. Not sure of compatibility

[elaslegs]

How about a video that looks at how to optimize, or make the most of, a slow, I mean really slow, internet connection for someone living in rural northern Canada, or who is constantly bothered by a family member living in rural northern Canada.. Internet in my area is Bell Aliant DSL, 1.7 Mbps down and 0.5 up.

[oHxly]

Hiya, i've found a really cool product for a video, its a open air case/ watercooling distro plate in one looks really unique and im not sure this has ever been done before.

How long did it take you to post that message? 

 

Seriously though, not a bad idea for a video.

 

Edit: Can you get Starlink yet over there? Apparently SpaceX is aiming to cover northern America (including Canada) this year. (https://www.starlink.com/) Hey! That might be a cool idea for a video in itself. Test someone's Starlink broadband connection.

Topic for couch gaming:

-How to get surround sound PC NVIDIA HDMI -> TV -> ARC Receiver -> Speakers

 

It's been a topic that's been around for a number of year. People have gone to modifying INF, registry, or custom EDID for their specific tv. Can the LTT crew make it easier?
