Wow you really know how to make video fast! Just Kidding

That's a nice looking motherboard it could be interesting to see how threadripper will preform. I like the new M.2 SSD thingy on the AMD boarda as well.

Uh the top comment is a scamming google search with the whole bot that copied LTT's logo and has a similar name. looks like it is gone but it was on youtube

[Daniel644]

well unless it's a video of indepentent testing of Vega or a really cool ATX CASE that would serve well as a living room VR/HTPC case I really don't care, and frankly Vega no longer matters, they took to long and I found a deal to good to pass up so I don't need a GPU for MANY MANY years to come, if ever.

Vega could still be interesting to see cause it may surprise us all and be awesome

God dammit linus that click bait in the on the youtube video it only shows "SECRET ROOM UNBOXING - AMD 16 CORE "THREADRIPPER"" so you think its showing off the cpu not just a motherboard without cpu pls stop this clickbait you're going to wear out your fans patience soon

[OhYou_]

Thats way too much money for a motherboard if that estimate holds true. Back in the day, $599 got you a dual socket overclocking board. Now you just get some flashy shit. I mean look at the pathetic VRM. That better be some kind of joke.

Me thinks Corsair should stick to memory because their case designers/fabricators are a bunch of amateurs. That thing is bigger than a CaseLabs Magnum yet still cannot hold as much gear as a S8+pedestal combo, with 8 hard drives included. Sorry  but I just cannot put any faith in a company that promises a Yellow 780T, sends out press samples, begins pre-orders with vendors and then drops the ball because they cannot get the paint right.

I sure read them, well written description on topic I´m interested in and descriptive title here in LTT Official section (the YT ones have little informational value) are the two main things that make me watch an LMG video.

the vortex is a msi trident 3 except smaller really

Re: this video

 

 

Hey Linus, Calyos' NSG S0 finished its Kickstarter recently. Early bird backers (who backed at the €479 and €579 amounts) should be receiving their S0's in August.

 

If you haven't managed to convince them to send you a review sample when the final product ships, I can ask that they send mine to you first for review. I'm not sure if Intel will actually have the 6c/12t Coffee Lake shipped by then, so I'd be waiting to use it anyway. Just send me a message and I'll send the request to Calyos.

 

Edit: For what it's worth, it's your fault for introducing me to this damned thing in the first place. That first prototype you reviewed had me so excited I absolutely had to jump at the Kickstarter.

why was the 1080 notebook video taken down?

[idmb]

That tiny asrock thing is amazing 

[PeterPorker3]

Hey Linus, your "The BEST GTX 1080 Notebook at the Show!" video has been taken down (https://youtu.be/6K784aGXuL4) Why?!

I'm equally curious. I was kinda lookin forward to it.

I hope he does a reupload, it had 3D problems which I don't notice so I don't understand why Linus can't just record his video and reupload that one. But before it said biggest GTX 1080 laptop at the Show! If I remember correctly. IDK what people are saying about the 3D and the redness of the video it seems fine to me on my laptop and phone on normal.

Video is unlisted if you want to watch it by the way.

[PeachyUwUSenpai]

Dangit linus it isn't as thin as a coin it's as thin as a coin is wide. though thumbnail makes it seem the laptop is actually 1.5 the coins width since its not held directly against the laptop so not sure if it is actually as thin as a coin is wide though it's definitely not as thin as a coin the thickness of a coin is 1.58 mm (canadian quarter)

[DoctorWho1975]

There is some pretty innovative shit being revealed, hopefully some of it ends up being released as a viable product.

Thoughts on the latest video? Some very interesting and valid points. 

 

I have recently built a X99 system (Jan 2017) without the knowledge that Skylake X would be coming in 6 months. Based on Linus' thoughts here and the apparently rushed nature of the announcement of the new Chipset and CPUs, I don't really feel bitter about biting the bullet and sticking to the older X99 platform. 

 

Should I feel bitter that I didn't wait longer and transition to the X299 platform or should I feel satisfied with the X99 platform that I upgraded to from a 10 year old, LGA 775 platform?

I honestly think that Intel felt a "bit" threatened by AMD, with their recent success with their Ryzen lineup, I don't wanna be negative, but Intel might just destroy itself, like a lot of other companies in the past. They seem not to have understood the message with technology. Don't rush it, Apple is the gold standard in that sphere. Linus actually explained it perfectly.

But then again, that's just my opinion.

Oh and I think that you made a great choice, choosing a good and stable platform, rather than waiting for this new one.

Regarding your point with Apple, I will have to respectfully disagree, at least with the current Apple that is helmed by Tim Cook. Apple rushed to embrace USB-C in their latest revision to their famed and popular MacBook Pro line, and look at what the enthusiast press or the general press thinks of the product now. More people are now rushing to buy refurbs of the 2015 revision of the Macbook Pro than the 2016 revision all because it has the ports that the pros need. 

 

All I am saying is, yes, Apple used to be the gold standard in the desktop/laptop sphere, but just like Intel, Apple is becoming obsessed with dongles and the extra $$$ that comes from selling people accessory that is basically deemed required to have a satisfactory experience with the product that you bought.
