Awesome Hardware #0119-A: AMD surpasses Intel! 18c Skylake-X Delidded!

2017-09-05
Blin and action hello everybody welcome to awesome hardware this is a live show that Paul and I do every single Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. Pacific time right here on twitch.tv slash awesome hardware we also stream to YouTube on our respective YouTube channels on that platform we like to split the episode up into two halves this week the first half is on my channel which you're watching right now and then afterwards you can head over to the pulse channel which is you can calm slash Paul's hardware you can also find a link in the description below but it's a fun spun tech news show loosely spun it's always fun I would like to have a few drinks we occasionally swear so if you have virgin ears or sensitive ears then maybe bring a pair of earmuffs to the conversation and hopefully you guys can drink along with us if you are of legal drinking age in whichever country you belong and that's pretty much it we sell stuff if not you can have a mountain Dew you get up about new just classic classic PC games right there sponsoring today's episode no they're not no I wish probably not but by something at Kyle's store my store especially if you're a woman yeah I just started selling a female shirts you can wear them if you're a male too they just I don't know if this wouldn't fit well yeah so Heather if your whitening sauce actually picked up the colors I had nothing to do with this she felt that she liked those two colors the best so good does he guys if you guys have any spouses or significant others girlfriends or anything like that who might want to rock the bit with brand go ahead and pick up one of those restaurants their movies right across from boobies Paul's also selling stuff on Paul's hardware net I also have women's shirts women sure so a point that I've had I've been catering to the female demographic who watches our shows feminist would kill me first there's you gotta give your data to this to the ladies out there true of course we also have mugs pint glasses other types of paraphernalia feel free to buy those while you're watching the show and we'll shut your name out at the end of each half yes but also yell Johnson well you still don't know exactly why we do that no it's slightly offensive but kind of funny I will silence my phone I'm breaking my own rule right now okay right now we're drinking Newcastle new cats imported from the UK yep it's actually important here I saw someone talk about Newcastle and they said that they were surprised to see it in the United States it's very common it oh yes I mean like when you go to like bars or or liquor stores that really just have a dearth of options they'll still usually have Newcastle yeah I'm the most popular I think it's distributed by one of the large yeah beer manufacturers I think I don't know which one you might say in the bubble right up there with we had bubbles we're not plebs alright so let's just dive right in to some of the tech news that we've got here actually we'll start off a games report let's let's talk about some video games amiga games and what's going on in the video game industry that's not all-encompassing I'm only it's a good thing we're doing the games apart because there was nothing people like to hear about games and they've been waiting for the game support to hear information about it that's usually most that's most people's primary primary source of gaming info this is true from my understanding and us and surely the three articles that I've picked out for today's segment will cover everything that is going all you need to know in the gaming industry at the moment so first off congratulations to pub G player unknowns battlegrounds for selling over 10 million copies this was on every game last night I could find today so it's worth pointing out this one in particular from PC gamer 10 million copies sold since the game first launched back in March of this year at the end of March so I thought it was still in beta I thought they haven't even lunch yet yeah technically it's an early access lunch so I mean for a game that's not even fully developed it's it's doing really well 165 days since it's been out the game's not even finished and it's already passed up csgo and dota 2 in the overall steam player account which is very impressive it's also one of the most if not the most streamed game on twitch right now or at least it was I don't know exactly where it is right now but it's high up there guys it also set a new record for peak concurrent users nearly a million peak concurrent users it's it's like on pace to break a million at some point oh yeah yeah it's it's pretty crazy also the article mentions that I didn't notice the Terry Crews apparently plays this game with his son oh yeah most likely most definitely maybe you should follow his YouTube channel most definitely on what hardly follow my own oh I hardly thought yeah he most definitely is playing pub G on the epic Creek that Chase do sense built for him I'm sure so that's pretty cool there's also new vaulting animations and a new map that are on the way for the game so it's gonna keep overall excitement at an all-time high a ludicrous all-time high 10 million copies how much money is that I mean how much does the game go for like 30 bucks by new vaulting at animations does that mean new animations for when you break into a vault or new animations of you vaulting over things I think vaulting over things or it could mean both it could be an all-encompassing word that's that's true that they didn't specify that maybe they're gonna introduce safecracking please to pub G who's Fraser Brown I'm never reading an article from you again Fraser confusing no this is the next that's the other one sorry Fraser casting disparaging comments on Fraser Brown all he was trying to do is bring people more information about the oculus rift ipalo sitting here trashing him I owe you an apology Fraser it's really it's really it's really Joe Donnelly writing style yeah I even need to say that pacify what kind of vaulting you mean next time Joe but that's journalism it's journalism we'll be talking more about gaming journalism shortly but for now oculus rift is catching up with survive it's catching up with vibe on steam valves recent steam survey shows that rift market share has bumped up 8.1% in one month which is pretty huge and you could say that steam survey it reveals oculus rift gaining steam okay right there I'm gonna cut myself off before I hurt myself current score is a rift nothing and you have something to contribute to that no nothing planning that's worth saying out loud yeah see at least you can catch yourself before you say the thing is dream in front of a live audience of hundreds of people is currently the score is rift at forty three point eight percent market share with the vibe at fifty two point three that's down the vibe is down seven point seven percent compared to July which is a big hit this closing gap could be attributed to a significant price drop with the rift to summer sale for they what's the other three percent three point nine percent of the market I was about to say that's not full fully a hundred percent is it no it's not I already did the math three point nine percent season the remainder is there a third the three point yeah three point one percent is there the first point nine three point nine there must be a third competitor or that's all the people playing or the journalists team games on their Samsung VR what is the Samsung thing called Samsung gear VR the gear VR with a Google daydream headset or or Fraser Brown doesn't know how to math and that goes back to my original statement which we should boycott all the articles from Fraser Brown it's like every article you discuss in never read anything from this person again no no she thanked them for I'm over losing all this research wholly using these articles from these people because I respect them okay and we expect more we expect more yeah yeah okay it's Frasier I'm only disappointed because I know what you're capable of our student valedictorian all right as we mentioned last month HTC is struggling we're struggling they're considering selling their about their VR empire and stuff like that because they took a 513 million dollar loss I shouldn't be lying that's terrible 513 million dollar lives the vibe got out to a good start because they they beat the Rif to the market by a decent amount but you know I guess it just goes to show that the tie-in was steam the I mean at the time misty but the the accessibility for price and then I guess probably maybe the accessibility for like motion to since it's not full room you know you can do it with with the with the rift now but right it's easier to get into VR and not you don't need a full room to set up like you do with the Bible yeah I'm saying true I think also maybe oculus seems to be getting some pretty decent games lately I feel like more like bigger budget games have been hitting the rift more so than buying I've still sort of in the indie phase I think where there's like indie developers making cool little games that aren't really fully polished and things like that whereas rift is really starting to see some did you check the closer to triple-a content you check the 60fp xbox I did I it's one of those like I'm on automation type things so sometimes it's hardware 43 on you're like I don't know why 43 is still there it should have been gone a long time ago here ingestion settings it probably doesn't matter if I do it now does it probably not but who knows yeah who knows maybe it's just maybe doesn't broken killed your stream eats its gonna die alright or maybe we just switched midstream I have no idea at any rate yeah good luck - vive congrats to oculus for yes but more on that later enormous enormous response after a game journalists failed miserably at playing a demo during games calm it was the cuphead demo a game called cuphead that's a 2d side-scrolling game 2d platformer and this is from gamer de mer revolution calm the article but the the game journalist in question we're talking about today is dean takashi the lead writer for games beat also part of VentureBeat he does laughably bad at the cuphead demo failing even the simplest of tasks so Paul maybe you could play the there might be a video attached down to the bottom there we go so you can see here that he's just he's just now getting he's just in the tutorial this is just the tutorial so duck alright hold down to crouch he got that a jump so you got the jumping no problem now he needs to do a jump and dash to get over this this little obstacle here which takes him to jump on top of this block ah see see the average Joe would have figured this out immediately go on the block but poor Dean Takashi I figured it out seeming to know you would think you would think he's figured it out but it takes him quite a long time to to just get over this this is literally the twenty six minute video we should watch the whole thing fortunately he's crowding unfortunately it's not just 26 minutes of this but it is 26 minutes of really painful hard to watch moments of this game journalist this professional game journalist struggling to to play what seems to be a fairly simple simple game I want to see what he shoots what's he gonna shoot when he gets to the shooting part yeah I mean Dena killing me yeah Dean Dean struggles here he admits openly that he is not good at this game in the article that he wrote attached to this video yeah he's starting to figure he's putting things together push one button wrong way and then the other but there's only two ways to go so he knows it's not the left so it's gotta be right all right we're getting real close here oh so warm you burn it up Dean you were hot come on or hot you work daddy brothers MLG I think he does this work and she relatively easily you know nothing nothing too bad here that's a translates in the name right okay the whole left and right situation Ken are we going left are we going right there we go hey all right so it's just it's just 26 minutes of this okay we kind of get the point here but more importantly this sort of sparked a huge conversation or reignited I should say the conversation about game journalists sucking in video games and what's the deal with that do they have in fact on Twitter and a fellow game journalist from the Daily Caller Ian my Ian miles Chun clipped the opening segment of the video and he included the caption danger duelists are incredibly bad at video games it's painful to watch this how do they think they're qualified to write about games this one tweet received over 30,000 interactions and a lot of responses condemning game journalism as a whole and so this kind of opens up a discussion right is it really fair or justified for the entire Internet to make this generalization that all of game journalism is flawed and stupid because of these very few examples of game journalists sucking at video games yep I've written it off nah it's pretty it's pretty easy for any any of us to just sort of like you know be like hey look this was one guy playing one video game maybe he was having an off day nope it's all game journalists it's not necessarily the general suck it's not a generalization it's like one you know one person of a certain race did something bad and now all of a sudden everyone who belongs to that race hey that's racism this is there's there's certain overlapping issues with with this generalization not all over generally not all racists are bad at video games Kyle that is a gross generalization and I am offended you're gross you're gross right now you stop being offended right this so I don't know but but while it's pretty easy for a lot of us to see like okay we can't just generalize it does it does beg the question should Game Journalists be good at gaming or if you are a really really bad gamer does that disqualify you as being a good game journalist can you still be a good can you still write about games effectively and meaningfully to the masses while being a terrible terrible terribly skilled gamer I think that's a question you should have some level of gaming prowess you don't need to be top-tier you don't need to be the best of the best because if you're writing about games probably you're gonna write towards the center of the market where most people are and most people are okay again yes right most people can get by it one's interested in game but you've at least got to be in the middle of that hump you know as far as like your terrible gamers and your best gamers you know you got to be in the middle of that bell curve yeah if you're too far to one side that's like how yeah like how can you really could seek exactly the gameplay or like you know how how the controls or anything like that if you fail to grasp them yourself exactly yeah I feel like there's a certain certain level of understanding between that needs to happen between the game developer and the gamer right the game the game developer has programmed the game a certain way and has allowed hopefully allowed the gamer to figure out different mechanisms of the game and how they work and if you can't as a writer specifically as a journalist of games if you cannot figure out those mechanisms in a way it kind of defeats your ability to critique the game meaningfully I'm like oh this game sucks you can't even jump over short obstacles like no you just suck yeah so I think there's there's obviously room here I feel like for parody or for comedy this is a comedy opportunity I think because it's clearly hilarious watching anyone trying to play a game and fail at doing the most mundane simple tasks so maybe it could be like a parody or like a comedy review where it's like hey we took my 19 year old grandmother and had her play battlefield this was her review right obviously and that's more just for entertainment slash comedy but if it's a meaningful review I feel like there is basically what Paul is saying you kind of have to be okay at games at the very least okay and according to Dean Takahashi he was just having a really off day and just did not resonate with this game for whatever reason I mean it's possible there are certain games that I feel like the majority of people are okay at and I'm just for whatever reason I mean yes except instead of a head it's very confusing perplex all right so you guys let us know what you think in chat speaking of games speaking of games we've got another one that Paul and I are actually gonna play ourselves probably fail miserably at ourselves like justed really why did you post that story perfect right before we both play game I'm bad at scheduling as an example of us being probably hypocrites all right so we're gonna play face-off we're going we're gonna do some face-off here which is a new singer not a new segment you know a segment segment to the show as it's a met watch oh god can fix this I can fix this don't hassle the hoff Paul there we go oh that wasn't shown yes faceoff is a is where Paul and I go head-to-head in a crappy two-player online game and the loser has to do something stupid or embarrassing or funny all the above perhaps actually have not picked out a punishment for today so if you guys have any suggestions on what the loser aka Paul will have to do at the end of this I don't always go ahead and blow a win sometimes block chat that's true yeah that's true whatever you say whatever you say Paul wait well what's going on with the YouTube chat right now I don't know as Lugar I think it has something to do with the fact that you're the owner of the channel it's like it's highlighting yeah from important people right and people who give you money and all of the unimportant people is just this like like the words social commentary the games have said don't matter I don't know why though but there's some like highlights when your name but let's go up there there's somebody who wrote something yeah no donation but he you can clearly read everyone else has blocked out and look at emoji this emoji guy just very strange I don't understand no sorry guys I can't read your comments in YouTube unless you touch money to it continue doing that alright so I'm gonna say wait so so really quick before we before we dive in our good friend and moderator self processing is out of town for today so he is not in chat he's dead to us he's enjoying PAX West with some friends and stuff so hopefully he's having a good time there but we do have spider fan spider fan a spider you are our worst case scenario backup moderator and for that we love and respect you okay so much you're a favorite that's been your favorite any time sells done we like spider super cool for being a younger kid he is super awesome I can see myself hanging out with in IRL so thank you very much spider fan if you could maybe source any potential ideas that look good to you for punishments for for this segment and either messages privately or you know in chat when we ask you that'd be awesome so we don't have to sift through everything I'm good to be the backup he says awesome we're glad you're here spider we really are so let's go ahead and dive into this terrible game that I found it's basically online foosball it's called I'm amazed ball booty I'm a foodie which clearly means foosball in Guatemala I don't know but yeah y'all know how foosball works right it's basically like FIFA it's like FIFA 2017 or soccer manager 2018 player to SWS you know if these are real games I'm talking about right so so it's it's only two motions I'm gonna be two keys I'm gonna be player 1 up down and you're gonna be player 2 wws maybe I don't know okay but the the dudes kick the ball automatically I'm red they'll kick the ball automatically alright so how did you even call that the transition food Wow we call that Wow Wow - nothing nothing nothing but net oh Jesus jeez jeez that's chaos in the middle that was WOW all right oh my balls Exide balls but should we plan to fire we just plain to fire oh yeah I'll split five five that Wu's cheating just skill he'll cheat it here comes the David Beckham whoa whoa okay the David Beckham taking a nap maybe here is tearing up his bed turn it up okay oh damn the side saw that coming she said all right wait what what do what's this Corey no I can't even look thick we're tied look how you're doing this Wow you just went up oh boy this is game point for me game point any more attention alright let's let's do two out of three that was too quick let's do two or three so I have one that's up one you win one more this is come on this is this is like I like this over a regular foosball because it doesn't high and I don't I'm I'm actually pretty good at regular foosball and that's not related I thought that was gonna translate like I'm good at Superman he's at it alright I'm super I'm good at Super Monkey Ball go and of Tiger Woods super what Super Monkey Ball golf game on thank you geez that's your childhood okay old man old man I didn't do a lot of GameCube gaming at least that was the time of my life when I wasn't playing many games Thompson I'm just so cool calm you're so cool that's a nice block goalie that's a nice block okay okay this that's quite the stalemate here yep wonder are we losing viewers yeah show me your worst I don't think so okay cool I think they're into it good good everyone no probably doing nasty things to this the goal come on so this is basically a fight between AMD and Intel because we're red and blue right okay so I'm Andy what are you there we go you use the power we get home for team red use the power of a 3-1 in this in this match right now he's power of rising see that was the color that chat the thread Ripper I'm using my price to performance yeah nice to performance kind of metrics again well you know this is unexpected price likes here we come I'm gonna ambush you with terrible prices with aqua suns for all the all the juice all the marks every single one no that's a terrible strain yeah that's a really really bad start post oh wow Wow apparently Cal has been sandbagging so no time to bust out the real skills oh oh look at that goalie uh-oh MVP right there and I wonder why I didn't dude kick it when he was three nothing you just got this is not from across the coffee lake as there wasn't from the back wheel to the front field I don't know what that actual term is this is this is match blender come to sky like Xu out no no you could have thread RIPD me ma'am button else I guess Intel wins now and tell us better Sherman's now it's not all debates should be decided sure I'm glad we didn't have a push button decided for that one but since I lost Oh No oh there will be punishments all right well yes right well so there's also all right there's also sushi later on so let's move on yes true your true all right then my PC let's go well while we figure out the punishment what if you just chug a beer I write a beer yeah I can chug a beer I'll chug your frickin beer don't move if I'm gonna pound it I'll go for the New Castle please I feel like that's us I mean there but it's a it's a brown ale versus a well give me two that and give me a little something as well though for after the New Castle three years it's done all right next up is our by PC Kyle earlier actually very late today just before the show since a tweet out and people sent pictures of their computers and we're going to show you those pictures and then we're going to critique them mainly from an aesthetic perspective I will try to give some some good advice when we can or if not we'll just say why did you do that yeah bottle opener is have so many various implements for opening bottles things you didn't see magazines let's take this first computer while I get this ready and then I'll pound but first is from Giuseppe Cosentino he's living in Italy so he can't watch the show live but here is his pic my PC he also did a piece bin which I don't know if I'm gonna be able watch that's some clean cable management right there yes it looks pretty it does even the flat PCIe cable looks like it's just bent backwards in perfect shape yeah oh wait yes you do what's interesting here is if the rear fan is actually set to intake that is interesting so unless you have a dust filter on the back or something he's just trying to stay positive yeah hahaha ah I see what you did there okay sure yeah that's that's interesting I wonder if that was intentional maybe you did some a be testing yourself who knows I would say I do like via the gold accents on the motherboards fairly unique it's kind of a mishmash of colors here red blue and gold if you're trying to go for like a patriotic gold rush beam which I don't really a theme I don't mind the red black and gold here but I do feel like the LEDs on the front don't don't match up quite as well exactly yeah as far as that goes I just get some more grey fans or something or yeah or kill the LEDs maybe I don't know or red LED fans might might work maybe right maybe some of those fantex what is it the fantex halos you know yeah the hills are pretty cool I mean the is they're they're like 10 or 15 bucks each depending on which one you get the shrew we always say this that typically and inside of a case it looks aesthetically pleasing when all the fans in the case are uniformed when they can be um so bear that in mind I gotta give high praise here for your 24 pin your USB 3 of course the the PCI Express graphics and then your SATA cable see just like the super straight yeah they're so straight yeah that's they are it's very nice it's very satisfying I will say so you good job Dave Giuseppe gives me a hard-on I will also say um maybe pulling this Intel Ethernet sticker off of here that's also not really blending in as much as you believe maybe he gun that up right of course you're gonna need to get in there and remove some stuff so that may or may not be worth your time depending on whether or not you're playing and reconfiguring this system at all the very nice job with the cable management they're just heavy yep thanks Giuseppe time for me to pop my beer do it choose thanks for being here guys Gerry this will make my half of the show a little bit more entertaining st. Paul let's see it Paul it Wow that was a very impressive chug we need to start timing things because I feel like we're bound to set some world records at some point well well well done well done thank you absolutely whoo someone someone clip that I got something that my college education someone clip that and send it to me so I can make it my my my default wallpaper for motivation he'll be a to watch it on the replay yeah just up you by the way head of course they're carbide 540 and a Susy 97 krill and i7 4790k at 4.9 gigahertz four by eight gigs Corsair Vengeance and the GCL g1 gaming GTX 1070 solid system last year while all right next up we've got Gianna Mike we'll call you Mike agenda call you Mike can't install two more tried in RGB because clearance help RGB monstrosity eight extreme GTX 1070 founders Edition 7700 K and a 780 T piece interesting he can't install the RGB Ram because of clearance what kind of clearance issues maybe with weird yeah I've seen that happen you probably can you just it would be like if it would push against the memory and it might even bend it yeah push it over a little bit so they don't watch all sorry Mike which would suck yeah uh and it doesn't look good if you rotate that water block in particular I feel like it just it looks best in a good default position you have it it's really I I really like how these cable extensions look they do they look great yeah I mean they're super break well I mean they stand out but I don't think they like they think they go you know yeah do you I like how the one half of the rainbow from the ultraviolet side is represented in the graphics card one well whereas the other side on the infrared side as represented by the eight pin CPU instead I began like you've eaten right so UV and on the pilot side right and how they splitter blue green down yeah and then yeah that was pretty cool yeah well well thought out and it's like there's also the trainings really nice to you is this no and they're not even extension is there straight from the power sides yes so those are definitely a custom job honestly I feel like I would run wild with this I mean you've already got these cables that are super unique go crazy with more RGB everything I think I feel like it like the cables are almost too much too colorful for the rest of the bill if that would be my only critique maybe throw in some RGB LED strips if you haven't yet and NZXT hue plus would be pretty sweet is that that's that's a Wi-Fi that's a wife he has a Wi-Fi antenna inside of his case huh that's interesting that is interesting I wonder if I wonder if that works better for you or something like that but does a side panel it says lirikh lirikh lirikh that's kind of cool I like I like custom decals on cases if they're done right that's pretty clean honestly man there's not much to say here other than keep up the good work and you know if there's one thing about the system that I like the least is probably the stock GTX what is that instead of 1070 yeah the founders edition it's fine it's fine though you're wrong I'm justified to pick one thing out it's that's the thing that stands out to me is not being as sort of unique as the rest of the system yeah all right next up is Hawk 1291 hole 7600 K based system color master master liquid light 128 susi 170 AR 16 gigs of 3200 vengence LED memory an XFX r9 380 4 gig senator 50 watt course sir our max power supply 1 terabyte her drive NZXT s340 elite black ha all right so um PCBs around PCB do not I do not like brown PCB yeah mostly it's it's distracting yeah it's all I see it's all I can see I'm seeing Brown I mean so this this case could really do with them like I have one of my wife's big makeup brushes that I use to dust things and that lets you get up on PCBs and up into corners and stuff like that because yeah you can see there's been some dusting going on the area above the power supply tray down there at the bottom or power supply you know the basement has it has been dusted off a little bit yeah but not very thoroughly you know so yeah it needs a good dusting I agree kale management is it's fine yeah with free solid you know you know it's really good actually I would say that apart from swapping out the motherboard later down the line and dusting I don't know I feel like I feel like the system could use a bit more personality I mean this is 7600 K on a z170 motherboard so like maybe maybe a motherboard upgrade maybe a Z 270 with a little bit more personality and and maybe some some lighting on it or whatever if you wanted to make things look a little bit fancier in there because you do have led memory so obviously you're not like anti LED you know but yeah maybe something like that I think would would spice things up a little bit other than that I mean you got solid cable management and a nice pretty much monochrome build so yeah looks fine yeah what's good all right next up we've got debbie de Brian what date oh no I didn't open it maybe Brian - well we got Brian as well but we're sitting brain for last but we can do Brian now if you want no let's let's do these all right we'll do brain for life I never opened them okay let's do David David with the Strix is e27 te a 7700 K based system and the GTX 10-8 all right all right okay um let's see cable management looks a little hairy towards the bottom it's like the power supply it's a little rough and tumble there yeah looks like a little haystacks awesome looks like your supplemental CPU power is running under your graphics card up and around your CPU socket and everything and then over to where that actually plugs in am I wrong about that yeah no yeah yeah that's interesting it looks like you've got some behind the motherboard capability here for routing that yeah you should yeah so thousand a huge cable that would be a good thing to route behind the motherboard right you can rotate this CPU fan your cry rig fan here you could rotate that 90 or 80 degrees to get that cable down towards the motherboard and tucked away a little bit better what else you've got an old-school red to SATA cable for your optical drive does that bother you Kyle I rounded cleaner yeah I wouldn't mind since you've got the red on the under graphics card that's not that that matches up okay there is this does have a graphics card support right here you know clear acrylic GeForce GTX one which looks nice that doesn't look bad and SSDs just kind of chillin on top of that that's just kind of laying there no hay has a mount or something like that for two-and-a-half inch drives so what appears to be maybe a fan splitter or something like that going on down here at the bottom that's just kind of hanging out in there so yeah it looks like there is some space behind the motherboard tray here but yeah there's just there's there's a fair amount of cable management that could go on here that can make things look a lot cleaner I think yeah other than that I mean your equipments all all pretty solid so you have complaints there but yeah a better solution for mounting that SSD though yeah right on top of the hard drive is just there's better places you can put it mm-hmm probably not at risk of like you know killing a drive or anything like that but it's just it's nice just to lock down your components you never know when your systems gonna get thrown around or you can get moved and stuff I agree goodbye let's move on to the next one Brandon tech prendick g1 sniper 5 on AI 74770 kasich thing gigs of course a memory a 980ti amped extreme see sonic 1050 watt power supply samsung 950 SSD - corsair 90 gigs and raid 0 so several assist is in this build ok wow that is a unique combination of colors yeah brown lime-green several different shades of green yep get some LEDs on the motherboard the the blue this is vengeance I believe this Corsair Vengeance memory I've seen this blue kit you you had this blue kitten and one here for it but it looks almost turquoise kind of because of the other green components hmm maybe you've also got some Noctua fans with retina Brown corners on them right so clearly there's a color coordination mush mishmash going on here which it's difficult to say how exactly you could solve that you can't change any well I guess you could change the motherboard but yeah I don't know I think I feel like mmm those three colors don't match at all like the green blue and brown aren't really doing it for me I feel like if I was given this bill by someone for free or something like that I'd probably spit in their face be like why they destroyed that smashed the computer on their head no um I'd probably spray paint the corners of the fans cuz they're still living there knocked it was a really good fan back to uh cells replacement corner kits that you can swap out and get colors I mean it's better if you want to go that far just about the quarters and there's nothing you can do about this hideous lime green on the motherboard so you're either gonna need to swap your motherboard cuz it's look it's on the PCIe slots I don't think it's hideous though I think if it was paired nicely or just only hope it was the accent color then yeah so if you want to go with that as your accent color then yeah but green LEDs this is one this is the thing this is one of my kind of pet peeves stable to LEDs you've got green LEDs which I'm having a trouble mousing over because of the but yet the green LEDs down here audience with our different color green then the green on the motherboard that's I don't like that you know I don't think that Matt I'd rather not have the LEDs yeah disabled yeah so let's able disable those you're my os-- in the BIOS or through software or something like that I totally agree with Paul different shades of the same color do not always look the best or if they do they have to be done right but it's possible there's some yellow on top of this graphics card we can't see as well oh yeah it's just I forget as one of those texts less likely well the back plate remove easily spray paint a bowl if you wanted to go that route so there's no there's no easy solution to this to aesthetically you know but apart from the aesthetics I mean your cable management solid everything everything looks fine functionally so yeah just ignore what we say and keep me using your computer we don't we don't really know all right Briley shout out to Brian from VPS customs man he he he actually submitted this PC to put my PC today because he's ridiculous and he knows that this PC is clearly not in any way shape or form in need of any sort of critiques look at all this because it's just so beautiful I've always I really wanted to do a build in this case in win three oh no three 305 305 305 was to go to a 302 301 301 in England via one it's a very unique case it's right up there above the 300 somewhere yeah it looks looks really good all around Brian I'm assuming that position revealed I'm pretty here it is he's asking if we should if I should add RGB dims I say yes I say all right so Corsair Vengeance LED in blue do it yeah I'd look good if the I would rather the LEDs were just the same colors as the fans and not RGB to be honest yeah yeah I mean you could get our GB and set them to that color right or the standard Corsair white LED dins might not match quite as well so yeah you kind of want that ice blue color and you thought that ice blue color yep so either finds dims that have that like out of the box or maybe maybe consider dropping you know do you Brian you you've you've got G skills tried NZ kit right you know the are did you drop it in there and try some color configurations and see if it you can get it to match up is that I think that would look nice and you'd have lots of lights in the case and a little bit more light right here in the middle what light is a little dark in this area that's not the Inland 301 that I was thinking about what is it is it because it doesn't have a fan mounts are you right honeycomb it's supposed to have that huh it is an in one case though absolutely somewhat enchant has most definitely corrected me at this point I have to talk to Andy at some point people are saying 301 301 oh that's the new 101 someone said it's the new one-on-one that's it's okay sure fine by me can't keep up with all these cases yeah and multiple people were saying is the 101 well cool that's that's a fun case I want to build on that one now screw the 301 but thank you very much Brian for making awesome pcs and submitting it to pay my PC today thanks man let's move on to our last segment here we're gonna plow through these news stories because we are short on time people devour your Bower world-famous overclocker professional overclocked er has deleted Intel's 12 up to their 18 core skylake ex CPUs article from overclocked 3d dotnet he used his own deleting tool of course which is clearly going to be working on the latest scalex scaley ex offerings the new reveal after deleting shows us that they died on a skylake X high core count part is significantly larger than the lower core counterparts like the 10 cores and lower the die size is just significantly larger just from a physical standpoint the CPU also appears to be unsoldered okay so we are still waiting on devours video which we'll be detailing the deleting process that he went through also perhaps to promote his deleting tool which is the deal it'd die made our deal it'd dime 8 X I like how he just threw X at the ending this extra extra Tim no like no it's that it's like to there's to PCBs like it so I could double substrate this yeah that's interesting yeah I don't know to make of it but hopefully de Barra can shed some more light in his upcoming video so thanks to Bauer for deleting things that we can't moving on RX Vega 64 has apparently been able to smoke Polaris in etherium mining efficiency this is an article from hot hardware calm thing we're following the the activities of one such redditor by the name of silent death it's all in leet speak but silent death has optimized his Vegas 64 card to have a hash rate of 43 point 5 mega hashes per second that's a lot apparently I don't know what a regular Vega 64 goes for like your 580 s will do around 30 ok so then that is that is pretty good actually forty three point five so yeah and and this is like the follow-up as people have explored more of the power efficiency capabilities of Vega and it's something that AMD could have spoken pretty highly of the problem is when you enable all the power efficiency features of Vega you can't necessarily run at frequencies that make it competitive with Intel's offerings like at 1070 versus videos on Vega 56 or a 1080 versus the Vega 64 however there are some really good balances as far as the amount of GPU power that you get out versus the amount of power that the chip actually draws and there's a bunch of really cool power saving features that can be implemented with Vega so yeah I not surprised at this at all yeah initially there was all these early rumors like that they're gonna see 60 or 80 or 100 mega hash per second performance Atta Vega and that those are all obviously false but miners don't necessarily can't care about what's the peak you know performance you can get out of this graphics card it's what's the best performance you can get at the lowest power drop I am so this is good news for miners and bad news for anyone who wanted to buy a Vegas video card for gaming because this certainly is it going to make them more more available right on the market it's it means there that they are yes a desirable mining card so our worst fear for miners worst fear for gamers what's interesting also is that apparently this redditor wasn't even using the the mining optimized driver from AMD he was using just a real of edition driver 17 8.2 okay he was noting stability issues with the mining driver actually so perhaps it just hasn't fully matured yet so all that said good luck getting a Vegas 64 or a Vega 56 card now as if it wasn't difficult enough already miners probably now have their sights set on new rx series they weren't there were in Vegas if T sixes this past week available at retail for the promised price of $399 they all sold out very very quickly but some people bought them take it 56 right yeah yeah some some people bought them yeah they were a thing they did so up I mean they were there at least long enough to five minutes clear AMD if any legal responsibility for claiming that they would be available for that price yeah but yeah so grats to anyone who didn't who did jump on one of those cuz of Iggy 56 for 400 bucks gaming or mining is a pretty good card yeah yeah let's move on to our next story here AMD has has actually surpassed Intel in CPU sales at Europe's biggest PC market haha this is an article from did you worthy calm this is the first time in over a decade that AMD has trumped Intel when it comes to CPU sales and revenue this is that journeys largest online retailer minefactory dot de one easy to read graph yeah it's it's a little confusing I took a gander and it was like nope ain't nobody got time for that but you guys can figure it out so props to Rison and thread Ripper the year they are the big proponents of of this of this milestone this achievement that AMD has as a has acquired AMD only had 28% of the cpu market share when Rison first launched back in march and then it reached 49% four months later and then just in august it finally passed Intel with over 56 percent market share effectively doubling its sales at the Germany tailor in just half a year so Bravo indeed that's that's very awesome news I'm sure you guys are super excited about that there and then as market share the right term that might not be the right term to use um just well market share within this one website so this is a global market percentage of CPUs sold at this website in this period of time correct just to be clear correct just because we had yeah I want anyone to leave this thinking now dominate now sixty percent of people are using AMD CPUs but correct it's just what's been purchased at the site but that is pretty damn impressive that AMD CPUs are not just competing with Intel CPUs but actually out selling them and it's not too surprising given ya what AMD has has put out this year they've done a pretty damn good job especially in the CPU side yeah it's kind of crazy because like it's so different the way that Rison competes with Intel Core processors because like AMD just seems to have a lot more popular options like a 1,700 or I'm sorry the 1600 the horizon 5 1600 is one of the most sold CPUs or bought CPUs on Amazon right now just trailing barely behind the 7700 K which is number one but then they've also got the risin 7 1700 just after the 1600s which is also just crushing it right because the 1600 and 1700 are totally different price points but they're still both doing very well and then you've got the you've got 1600 X and the 1700 X which are trailing just behind that so AMD kind of has this wide range of desirable CPUs very popular CPUs they have several popular CPUs whereas Intel at least in the mainstream sector really only has like the 7700 K and I guess the 7600 K but even that like the 7600 K has been trailing off because people want hyper threading or SMT or whatever so really actually according to the article the 7700 K accounts for nearly half of Intel's desktop unit sales which is pretty crazy whereas with AMD it's completely spread out across multiple SKUs which is kind of interesting I think it shows that AMD did a really good job with positioning and pricing and segmentation of the rise and lunch absolutely because they they hit Intel multiple different levels and I mean you go anywhere and people in people are talking about building a gaming PC or workstation PC or like a budget whatever PC right ends you know if there's there's certain prices and use cases that you can say yeah this Intel CPU makes sense but there's a lot more I think at this point that you that you have to say actually you'll be better off with Rison yeah for that so there you go alright and finally our last story of this half of the show is about gigabyte and their other brand new GT x 1080 which is actually now the world's smallest GTX anything you can find on the market tiny so cute this is the GTX 1080 Mini ITX 8g measuring in at just a hundred and sixty nine millimeters in length all right for the record 169 millimetres Mini ITX motherboards are only a hug seventy millimeters wide so this is actually perfect for those cases like the like all the Kickstarter cases that are popping up that are ITX and just barely big enough like you know that are only the width of the Mini ITX motherboard um so really you could only fit in the card like this so that's actually pretty cool the previous title holder for world's smallest gtx 980 was ZOTAC with with their card weighing in at 211 millimeters so this shaves off the good 40 or so millimeters of length however the height of this card is a bit longer or a bit Toleration say than the standard PCIe height and that just kind of it's due to the fact that the heat dissipation has to take place somewhere if they're making the card really short and you got these cutting paper coming up to get a little bit longer get a little bit more dissipation out of it a little bit more heat absorption which is why you can see right there as Paul's indicating that the card is it taller than a standard PCIe slot so it's not gonna fit or I should say it will fit in most cases still I feel like height is not nearly as much of an issue as length when it comes to graphics cards and compatibility with cases so in most cases this should fit just fine I can verify that this card fits in the note 202 because it looks to have the exact same shroud and cooler as as gigabytes gtx 1070 mini which was in the go anywhere pc go anywhere do anything pc that i built a while back so it's definitely flexible can fit in many tight spaces that's what she said it features a single 8 pin PCIe connector has a basement boost clock factory overclocked of course of sixteen hundred and thirty-two and seventeen hundred and seventy one megahertz respectively definitely some overhead on overclocking I would imagine eight gigs of gddr5 X which is pretty sweet of course there are 1070 mini did not have DVR 5 X memory this has been the memory itself even hasn't been factory overclocked which been too often to a thousand and ten megahertz and it features a semi passive 90 millimeter fan just like the gtx 770 mini and zero rpm at idle which is nice three heat pipes with five plus 2 power faces the article does mention that AMD for what it's worth is also teasing their Vega nano I haven't heard much about big a nano they've been teasing a little bit no word on release date or if it's gonna be able to trump a mini GT X 1080 in the small form-factor realm there's also no price on the the gigabyte GT X 1080 here but it is according to the article speculated to be around $600 us which is a lot but that's the price you pay for small a nice small form-factor very very small things yes indeed so that's gonna do it for my half the show ladies and gentlemen let's quickly go down some of the yeah you forgotten cells not here cell is not here so we do not have any leads how do we look at the nation comments and cells oh yes so you can try to pull up your super check yes in the middle Johnson's I'm gonna do some Johnson's I have I have three no wait right yeah now I got two yes I've to Johnson's to Johnson's first Johnson is for Christopher thank you so much Christopher from Ohio for grabbing the thumbscrews shirt and I also have a Johnson for Brandon and I've got the zero insertion force shirt always the classic Thank You Brandon from Kentucky for your support your patronage hope you enjoy those products should be on their way to you very soon you don't know that super chat work community super chat found it you found it found it it's under community yep under community super check okay alright yeah so here we go change from all live streams this one this one yeah beautiful okay we are good because we don't even need sell sells obsolete sell you're fired I'm just kidding solid all right gilben M hi you Kai hi Paul thanks for the thank you comment in the donation bump Corsa NL pro or NZXT err RGB case fans for Astrix x 370 in a mission Phi C build worried the RGB will be too muted behind the tinted tempered glass it is a fairly tinted side panel I will say messy Phi C is fairly tinted which is great for some people terrible for others I feel like if you really want to accentuate the lighting in your in your case then back it up with some RGB strips and all the other RGB you can it's good if you can find strips that are you know have adjustable brightness and things like that you can crank it up as as needed but yes be aware that mesh if IC does have a heavily tinted side panel window Fred rant for the 5 bucks valid house PC build and slogan tiles PC building slogan and I quote build on a boat if it does not fit force it if it breaks it needed replacement anyways that is exactly that was exactly my approach frills are done for the yacht belt thank you very much Fred Fred again for another five dollar donation never let Kyle build a PC on a boat again yeah that's that's pretty much a given I'm pretty sure frankly Josh will say otherwise though we do even crazier Christopher Calvary for the five bucks hey Kyle thanks to your boat vid I learned my motherboard won't fit in my petrify C just kidding I did my research that's embarrassing lol but for the awesome bid Thank You Christopher yeah that was something that clearly as all of you already know I learned the hard way Fred rant against top donated Fred it was nice when you just gave us $100 all in one go yeah you're breaking up the hundred dollars that's into $25 donation longer Fred ran did you take wife you saw us out to dinner like you were supposed to with the money from last week earth yes yes yes dad would expect her to hold up hold you to that ask her no don't ask no don't ask I the place I want to take take her to is so nice that reservations to save that money up five months okay Nick Duncan five dollars what's up guys been a frequent viewers sharing the love thank you very much thank we appreciate your donations checkered tile lol wish I could stay got school though love y'all yeah school sucks just wait till you're out of school though then life and you'll wish you were in school life will suck Michael Anthony are you excited for mobile augmented reality I was never really excited for regular augmented reality so I can't say I'm excited for mobile yep I just don't have time DV child keep an eye out for the ten dollar donation won't be able to donate as often as I used to schools back in session and I won't be able to watch arrive as often because of my crass sketch rarer I know I don't have to but Iraq to okay keep up the good work thank you very much Stevie thank you you are a trooper tried and true fan of the show I really do appreciate all of your contributions Sam bloom for the one bottle at crash schedule new comment attached thank you very much Sam blue Sam automatic match for your automatic $10 donation you don't I'll what's next PC building skydiving or being chased around by drill instructors while building pcs that's a pretty good ass idea drill instructors I'll pass that along to Josh also Paul please give please htpc I've got 12 days left to watch he only has 12 days left to walk so and he's shipping out they believe he's going to another country oh you told us oh yes yes okay we'll figure it out Matt I'm sorry I'll at least give you an update we have lots of things to do El Jefe reviews $5 what's up jefe the boat video was great surprised Paul wasn't there though Austin is cool but he's no Paul ah hashtag get Paul on the boat perhaps there could be a a giant threesome of all of us on the next one who knows who knows what with terrible things you might be witnessed might be witnessed but thank you very much chef a half a picture yes terming des Jones $10 hey guys me again been a minute for my 1920 X build I mentioned to you while previously should i do gtx 980ti or keep it all AMD and WH for Vega 56 64 custom cards ok wait wait yeah yeah you should wait wait I would say wait I wasn't saying weights that wasn't ever just saying you said w8 he meant wait yes I would go to yeah personally thank you guys more accessible it's a pretty solid accessible card right now and yes according to Nvidia it's not gonna be beaten by anything at least for the rest of this year yep you'd have to wait super long for a bigger party to come around mm so good luck on that Scott Dilbeck for the six dollars and sixty six cents super metal can we do a submitted Pip PC run here soon and when are we touring the flippin new place Kyle Jebus it's been weeks party on yes yeah that's an easy video cap that's an easy video that I am waiting on one more vendor to come to to ship their damn products that I'm waiting on because I promised them that it would be in the initial studio tour video and they're held up right now like literally like it's like the only thing holding back that video from coming out but rest assured that the longer I wait to produce that video the more put together and crafted that studio will be when I present it to you and it'll look awesome and it'll give you a better representation of the environment that we're currently working in but um that is pretty much done to it from uh half of the show I know I've got some Johnston's I know I've got some really quick jumps and shadows that I can do I can just lick it up on my phone or right here right here oh it's already here okay we've only got two we got two right here we've got one from Brandon Johnson to you sir that's a Brandon Brandon finger with bio special shirt and we've also got one Roger roar rose air Grande name has a double Jassim double Johnson to Brandon whoo alright so thank you guys very much for watching my half of the show but don't go anywhere because we are basically gonna hop over right to Pauls channel or if you're on twitch.tv just stay right where you are and we will be continuing a bunch of stupid festivities that we immigrated you on this that's very much thank you decent games like and anyone who wants to do timestamps I love you in advance and thank you so much
