Are there any products where nobody but you on LTT recommends?

Mao_Zedong

Do you recommend any products that nobody else seems to? Personally I love the phanteks ph-tc12ls as a low profile cooler, but over half of the recommendations for it have been by me.

Consoles. There are other people but the vast majority want you to pirate windows and have no mouse and keyboard. If you are looking to game under $350.

Taking your clothes off to lower the chance of static electricity when building a PC

I've seen other people recommend that.

The stars died for you to be here today.

A locked bathroom in the right place can make all the difference in the world.

Roccat military kone pure :( people recommend the company sometimes but, the mouse rarely. 502 is all the rage, for good reasons.

Yeah, everyone recommends the 212 when there are plenty of alternatives, like the Pure Rock or Cryorig H5. Zalman, Enermax and Deepcool also have a decent range of budget coolers.

IObits software, mainly Advanced System Care. People see it as bad product because free version has aggressive ads and its always on sale. Like Avast but that gets more recommendations.

Are you sure that's the real reason why =p?

Good product for sure but the aggressive advertising means I may no longer run it on startup. Just the odd scan here and there which is such a shame because when you cut the crap out, it's p good.

Plenty and I bet many you have seen me doing it. ;) All I have to say is if you can back up you decision with sound reasoning you'll be fine.

What about things I don't recommend that lots of people do?

For me this would be the top end mainstream i7 K part for anything but ITX builds. Just go up a step or down a step. Spend a bit more or save a ton, both are better choices. And yes i stood by this even with the i7-3820.

Hey is a good mouse just a bit small for me ironically the XTD is just a bit big [emoji14]

The Zaman coolers generally have a better fan but tossing that a said they have a higher find density which is better.
