What should I review next?


Review the GT 1030? and compare it to the 750, 750 ti and 1050, and maybe older gen graphics cards with the same amount of vram

Probably already started reviewing it but I noticed corsair has a new chair that came out.

This will be a pretty large undertaking but it would be interesting to see the results.

 

How about a review of CPU IPC over the generations for both Intel and AMD.

For many CPU comparisons, it is hard to find any that truly isolate the generational improvements of a single core by doing something like ruing each chip at the same clock speed, and performing benchmarks that are CPU bound (and not memory bound).

 

It would be cool to do something like Grab 1 chip from each generation (Phenom 1 all the way up to ryzen)

and a first gen core i7, up to the current gen, and clock them all at something like 3GHz or whatever speed all of the chips  run at, and then run them through the same set of CPU bound benchmarks to see how much single threaded IPC has improved over time.

Since Intel have announced an 18C 36T thread CPU at Computex and Asrock have announced a mITX board that can accommodate it. How about revisiting the smallest most powerful PC series of builds, assuming you can get that and a Titan Xp in something like a Dancase.

P.S. Linus if your out there I'd love a Video explaining how to overcome AIRPORT DESKTOP TRAVEL btw.

Ok, first off, avoid using that size. Second, just take your GPU and HDDs out, then unplug anything you think will move around, put some bubblewrap in it, then put your pc in the box with the Styrofoam that the case came with. If you don't have that, you're almost SoL, you have to buy a new case that's smaller, transfer and take it as a carry on.

 

Also, if you watercooling, then the simple answer is, you don't.

Or you know, just google it. Doesn't need a video.

Not a review, but - you should visit the Huaqiangbei in Shenzhen, China. I've been living in China for the past 6 months, been twice in Shenzhen and spent days there...it's like nothing you have ever seen before.

 

And given that you were nearby on several occasions (after all - computex right now) it's weird you've never went there and made a video.

 Since It's been a while since the 10 series of Nvidia Graphics cards have been released i would like to know what statistically is the best gtx 1080.

You could get the best rated/popular 1080s and compare speed,temperature,noise,hardware and so on.

I know a gtx 1080 is a gtx 1080 but i am really interested what rules the bunch even if it's just slightly.

A comparative review between high performance memory with heat spreaders and all the jazz, something like standard crucial memory and generic memory - at stock and overclocked.

A review of the yoga 720 13" 2in1 laptop would be nice :D also since you were so exited about the hp spectre x360 13". Especially as they are similar

...maybe even a comparison :)

After all those years, it finally happened. USB Buttplug actually exists.

It's here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/267826934/mature-usb-micro-sd-card-reader-butt

Just so you'd know

Is it only me which is disappointed in that description, I mean they haven't answered the important questions, like what's the storage capacity of this butt plug, I mean I don't wanna get one, I don't have the money to, but seriously you need to supply the important stuff in a description. Also there isn't enough innuendos in there, you could make so meany, and they haven't :(

You really should review the Scythe Fuma. I haven't seen any bigger tech channels reviewing this CPU cooler yet, and its an interesting one.

Brazilian computer communities are going crazy for it, the performance figures published by tech magazines like Tom's and TechPowerUp shows that the cooler's performance could be nearly matched that of a Noctua NH-D15, but it costs half of the price. Even i ordered one to see how good of a cooler it is.

Do it Linus!

Digital/audio Converters

I would like to get the most out of my PC when it comes to sound and it gets tricky when you run the sound through the TV and then from optical into a normal Stereo system.

 

The prices range from "surely thats no good" to "That is a lot of zeroes"

 

What should i invest in?

is there any pitfalls here?

 

Perhaps team up with a headset manufacturer for the sound part? i liked the trips to Sennheiser etc.
