Awesome Hardware #0128-A: DRAM getting cheaper, Pixel 2 XL screen fix, Intel & AMD SOC

2017-11-07
Finch at the moment correct no no we just won't lie to you oh well I know what you're talking well hey there then I switch like five minutes ago I know that I didn't realize we were all so straight about three minutes ago okay cool it's YouTube like 20 seconds well then in that case why can't I freaking resize 15 here we go because it's Windows 10 no let's make Windows really difficult to chew resize but you know the handles on the edges just get rid of them you know I'm probably gonna make a video about this there's like three or four really annoying Windows 10 things for me yeah one of them is window resizing I don't know if this happens to you yeah if I have a Explorer window open what you half and have many of and then on my computer when it goes to sleep it max screen it makes them all if full screens on full screen yeah but it's not like it's not like it's it's maximized it's just made as big as the screen is I have to go up and grab the corners of each one to bring him back down to like reasonable sizes if I want to have him overload is annoying I don't know why it does it for some reason that hasn't happen to me it it's a 4k monitor and a 2560 by 1600 monitors so I don't know if that's the two different resolutions or what but yeah I can snap it to left and right they're snapping options and stuff like that all I'm saying is like I keep windows relatively smaller compared to right well says no I believe you I mean Windows 10 is full chocolate full of things anyway then they didn't break things yeah like Joe's g13 just stopped freeze he's now the Logitech g13 has a little claw extra button thing you know gaming we as a bunch of macros programmer right right fall creator pro goodness doesn't work anymore it you know actually a couple updates ago it broke my parents entire network like they just couldn't connect it would drop it would drop the network every 10-15 minutes and like no one could figure it out and it was only after a Windows 10 update I really liked how on this episode we have immediately just gonna do my into it as complete one of our stories that were talking about but we should probably start the show on that note so welcome to awesome hardware everyone this is so 128 my god we're getting up there so the point we're starting to lose count but this is a tech news show in quotes tech news show that Paul and I like to have a lot of fun with we have a couple beers we occasionally use some adult language so if you have sensitive hearing with children around then you don't hold back yes then shoot your children or lock them in a closet or something like that until the show's over and everything will be nice and dandy this is a super fun show it goes for about two hours running time we split the show into two halves the first half this week is on my youtube channel youtube.com slash c / bit wit or you can head over to pulse channel for the second half which is going to be a link in my description below or paul's no youtube.com slash pulse hard way or if you're on twitter on TV slash awesome hardware just stay where you are the entire show gets streamed right here so welcome nice everyone thanks for being on out so mod is awesome I love him by the way I got a chicken dinner today no my first chicken dinner and I saw a picture that so those yeah you were just I was just sticking around just streaming for the hell of it but you're just like I'm just wanted stream symbol guns well I need to post something today and like I'm leaving for Virginia for Virginia on Wednesday ah visit family vagina so vagina yes someone says Virginia just save a day yes my aunt lives there it's gonna be super cool visiting her um but yes I was like I need to do a video I might as well stream I had two OSD up from afterburn stuff so you can kind of see the Diagnostics from hotlines good she's getting hot for a custom water-cooled rig I need to replace the gonna drain the loop and clean some stuff out you notice any did you notice any like ridiculous thermal drops after you cleaned out arctic panther yeah you probably didn't watch my video and I had finally like I didn't get through okay it's a good apart nervous I I mean I had some corrosion going on that on in there I had some some clogged engine some bills I saw that yeah on the block itself so yeah yeah I had to do a fair amount of cleaning except I did not do good regular maintenance on that that's why that's why new version of our Panther has as the proper filling drain port so I can do it a little bit easier so you know connect up and flush it and stuff like that you know I'll clean hot line eventually when I decide to okay not not because it's like a regular scheduled maintenance that I should just be doing anyway but anyway we've gotten way off topic here let's see you can buy stuff from our store yes we have stores then we sell things on those stores my store is bit with tech slash store you can find a link to that in the description deco friend sell our moderator cell walls we post them like that decals we now have decals aka P Cal's if you guys want to stick them everywhere don't stick them in places you shouldn't cuz that'll look bad on me and Paul don't take a big stack of them to the Anaheim Convention Center yeah look do that take it Matty even at Blizzcon so we've got a lot of stuff here stuff there good stuff I want poles over it he's got bottle openers it's the great stuff will shout John statue at the end of the show like should you buy anything from either of our stores it'll be great this is everything RGB shirt is one of my personal favorites right now I think it tops everything at the moment it is just - it's just so epic it's so epic yeah I mean it's so good and just like the styling the design is so someone sees you wearing that that they just understand it immediately yeah there's no also in the same world same ly popular my very high quality bottle openers mm-hmm that you can you can you can cut you can cut someone with them yeah there's a great murder weapon a for self-defense all that kind of thing all right so let's move on to our first segment of the day which is ask the audience this is an interactive segment that Paul and I started a while back you guys seem to really like it and we enjoy doing it so basically how it works is we're gonna a slate a series cheers Cheers we're drinking some Oktoberfest beer oh yeah I got some other tasty beers on the way mmm it's November Fest now that's true there should be a November Fest so basically we asked you guys a couple questions you answer honestly with the straw polls that we give you in chat and then Paul have to Paul and I have to guess what your guys's answer is and the one who is furthest away who gets the answer more incorrect has to take a drink all right which is going to become more painful in just a minute well yeah we'll explain to you why it will all become clear dive right into it with the first question first question is so this is an article that we're covering on Paul's HAP's I'm not gonna steal any of the show here but there is a new Titan XP special edition coming out and has been revealed to be star wars-themed with two options that you can get two flavors the Jedi Order which I believe is green aptly aptly designed to be green and then we've also got the Galactic Empire which is has some red lighting so you got green lighting with the Jedi red lighting with with the Sith or galactic empire which one which one would you get let's say money wasn't an object let's say it was a giveaway and someone was giving away Titan XP special edition Star Wars themed would you go for the Jedi or would you go for Galactic Empire this is a serious question alright there's of course there's always lots of testing and data that needs to be this is the crunch despite the Jedi version it actually looks pretty good that is the the Empire I have to say like what they did with the the blower fan there the little brown for some reason the PC Gamer pictures we're looking at our very not low quality my half will have very high quality they come with unique packaging and everything like that yep 1200 bucks each 1200 no don't pay attention that is a good question now this is the question of all questions so just so you guys know we're gonna go out we're gonna go in and we're going to cover the second question before we come back and see some of your responses on this but I feel like if you watch last week's episode or saw some of my tweets recently or something that my my stance of this might have been given away you already have the lightsaber I was gonna get super jelly right now if you pulled out a Titan XP store yeah if you already had like you bastard it's like here's the text we are no longer friends but I guess we know where Paul stands so is that is that the answer that you're gonna go with is that your choice he I feel like I kind of hypocrite if you did ever so I guess accordingly I'll go I'll rap the Jedi Order for this one but we'll give you guys clothes I think it's gonna be a pretty close call because ready mean look good packaging is pretty cool with you I wonder does that like led-backlit that box I don't think so okay it's just white yes okay that's gonna say that's pretty fancy schmancy yeah that's good they risin thread Ripper chance wasn't more than 1200 for 1300 LED backlit all right for sure sir alright before we look at the answers from you guys in that one let's take a look at our second question our second question is Intel and AMD this is yet another article that policy you got all the good articles today did Deaver too early Upton early bird gets the parent Lee that's never been more true than now so Intel and AMD I'm sure you lotta you guys already heard about this are joining forces to make their their own SOC is this a good idea or a bad idea this could be a very polarizing topic as I'm sure will discuss more on polls half but for now you guys just decide again links going out and chat is this is this are we doomed is this competition at its finest or is something going to is bound to go awry with with such just ginormous tech companies merging in this in this way o on a product that's crazy showing you an image from PC gamer right now by the way guys but yeah that's pretty crazy news we've discussed prior on the show some of the rumors about this because it's been rumored for like a good year so yeah it's been kind of bouncing around but like both companies was it I feel like a month to three months ago kind of came out it was like no it's not happening whatever they lied to us yep they lied they did bastards can't be trusted but yeah there's a lot about their marketing so we'll give that some thought in consideration yep I'll reserve all my own opinions for for later on and let's take a look at Jedi or Galactic Empire that our Empire Paul said Galactic Empire I said Jedi Order the eternal question guys hey then we have 2-1 vote from the total results and you guys so I would like to Empire by a landslide two-thirds my god yeah yeah you know what I think it is I think the the standard Titan XP and all the other founders Edition geforce cards are already good okay people are just looking for something a little bit different Wow a Geforce car that's actually got red backlit LEDs I think that's that's probably doing you some favors there but or to be fair and square I have except perhaps they have been seduced by the power of the dark side what is this rough kid Rumpke n-- yes this is dangerous shit so we need to do a brief pause here yes we know this we're not doing it for shemale time today but this was sent in by a fan that's right you can send us beer here this is a broom driven now it's funny actually because it was ordered from craft beer kings and they're in La Habra really yeah no way get shipped from La Habra which is pretty damn close to here then that means he probably should be doubt like we should just a day or two ago no this is this was came a while ago oh all right so this came from Eric in Connecticut and he just said greetings from Eric in Connecticut that was pretty much it so Eric D thank you very very much Eric DJing this beer over he said to some crazy beer and I believe this I believe this was suggested that past show this is called rump Caen it's from Avery brewing which is an outstanding brewery yeah they do a really good what is it Maharaja oh yes okay the Maharajah's oh sorry I didn't realize you were out as well I had to finish it off I did drink to the impact they have a great vanilla bean stout Avery bring is top-notch they're good stuff so this is brewed with pumpkin and spices aged in rum barrels and alcohol percentage by volume 16.9% Oh which is basically like a like wine that's about a stronger than wine but mostly dry and most wines about Fleming 250 I mean I guess this is about three times the strength of your average beer stylist I was lying three this is like three beers yeah in one beer here so holy crap this is this is dangerous my goodness we're like 1.5 why 16.7% to what Kyle brought to me hmm I know actually the best bring I'm like I'm like half bacon let's see how we are we'll see how we go maybe we'll just tease it for next nectar Trumpkin yep alright so i am i oh sip to the show we're getting the first answer wrong and you were right you know our audience better than I do Paul if that looks cloudy this is cloudy and body has a has a very looks like it looks like cider it does look like cider and I feel like I'm back at Ren Faire yeah with their Mead all right well bottoms up Cheers I have to take a larger sip than you because I lost it's actually really good Wow Dan so much smoother than I thought it was gonna be for 16.9% yeah which is kind of scary it's like all fall flavors that's really good Wow geez what Eric did so complex Harry but everything he works so yeah yeah okay there's a lot going on that is dangerous there's a lot going on and it's delicious this is so dangerous and this is like a like a like a Long Island iced tea I honestly don't think we're gonna get around to my well I mean we might tease it where his case is it for next week yeah yeah all right let's see how things good all right moving on to our second let's let's read the third question all right the third question is very straightforward a second this is about your own personal systems at home so guys if you have your own rig that you're watching us from right now go ahead and take a look at it just look at it right now wherever it is on the floor god forbid or on your desk and count how many fans are in your system right now so we're including including GPU right the CPU so like every GPU has two fans that's two that's two fans correct each case fan would be a fan yep each fan peteyboo exactly potentially be a fan every single fantasy RMV RMR chipset yep I also also to be taken into consideration yep power supply whatever family mm-hmm that you might not have considered as well right there's probably a bunch of people who voted inwards and now we're like oh shit I forgot we can head up with you when you take oh yeah this is consideration all those other ones you might you might faint first glance just looking at case fans like oh I like three or four and then you can't all the other fans you like I'm like 18 push push pull pull on my yeah right quad rad on my chip sites yeah I forgot I had that configuration like like TTL did like with the fans like the hundred like a hundred fingers on each side of the reach 100 some ridiculously long threaded screws alright so uh we never decided our answer for Intel versus aim be a good idea bad idea okay I I feel like our audience is mostly gonna think this is a good idea okay it's kind of like the The Avengers right like two superheroes that would never their universes would have otherwise never collided and seeing them together it's just like oh I think I think it's a good idea I mean wouldn't it would be nice to see both teams working together to build the best possible product for the Zoomer you would think I don't think that's what they doing but it's a good thing to kind of be like wow ideas quickly that would be cool all right so since I grabbed the first answer I'm the first one of course you're saying yes here so I'll take you guys through this whole deal like obviously they're just trying to take advantage of everyone results sure enough yes full three core than three quarters listen yes my gutter together stick it to Nvidia what's wrong with the video yes nothing's wrong with my competition though competitions it's good to put in video in their place I mean the forgetting to open funny thing here is I mean if you if you look at market share for for graphics its Intel and tells like 70 it's ridiculous about every graphics yes oh you mean you're talking about computers but yeah brush includes integrated graphics oh sure a lot of theirs CPUs would've had integrated integrated graphics for a very long time right so yeah but the concept of I mean there's they're mainly talking about doing this for dynamite laptops I'm not sure if this is anything that's gonna you know overlap onto the desktop space or anything like that yeah but having much better graphics which a mdrd Verity no AMD has write in a laptop with an Intel CPU which they do a very good job with their low-power CPUs and everything at that I'd be a pretty compelling product I think so especially if you're trying to do more with your mobile device like triple-a gaming content creation that sort of thing but we'll see what you guys thought fans fans fans are in your system politics first on this one I haven't I'm gonna say lucky number seven here seven fans is what I'm going for and then based on the knowledge that our our fans uh-huh ones out that will hopefully people watching this this right now uh-huh they're slightly more on the enthusiast side but no one's gonna go absolutely crazy here so I'm talking about probably three system fans power supply a couple for a graphics card and one for a CPU that's that's kind of my thought here okay and most modern systems don't have the any like a chipset or vrm fan I think that summed up so I think I'm pretty safe for seven okay I am going to one up quite literally I hope and go with eight eight Wow I feel like I'm on The Price is Right yep I should give you a dirty look I am doing eight for all the same reasons as you but since you took seven that's good I'm taking it I like your reasons wait we tied look 93 and 97 eight tied tied oh wow I can't believe that 10 pull-ups I just won I just won no no no it's what you click when you die before come on it's that's just people delayed now they're now they're like but 10 plus Wow I'm shocked okay isn't it weird though that 10 wins and then it's 6 and then 6 yeah so both of us were kind of wrong in Chittagong right 6 I guess over 7 or 8 very nothing this is very even spread up here though between interesting 5 6 7 8 9 though no well 4 9 we need more 9 fan systems out there you either have feel like you have eight or you have 10 fans no one has 9 fans 10 percent is a poor showing for $4.99 systems I feel like they don't get enough love I'm gonna do a special goodness the 9 fan system bills number 9 really 9,000 views at least it's gonna be the new RGB 9 fans 9 fan systems are sweeping the nation oh yeah ok renowned reviewer Paul's heart rate on video fun a nice 9 fans system the cultural impact alone yeah over 9000 ok that's fine let's move on that my PC is thank you guys very much for that to hit my PC yes you guys have submitted a bunch of your rig pics which sounds strangely and scarily like dick pics but not the same thing we shall judge them we will judge them based on their juice are they pretty when they look basically irony and to these dried amines if that's your real name Steinem you got an R 5 horizon 5 1600 at 3.8 gigahertz 16 gigs of vengeance DVR for 3066 nice like that yep GTX 970 overclocked 5 hard drives well 1 SSD and a fan Tex p400s great case alright well let's see oh it's an enterprise oh no it's Millenium Falcon that's Millennium Falcon this is a Millennium Falcon yes with the plastics band I like I like the little touch there hopefully the plaster doesn't melt your PCB even the ship sort of glows in that lighting that's cool alright so what I would say here is the ketchup and mustard is definitely a big distraction I'd say that's probably the number one distraction in most cases these days in most systems so if you were to get some I don't know some sleep extensions honestly just for your ATX and your PCIe power connectors I think that would look really clean clean things up really clean and uh I don't know if your if you're actually putting that ship there 24/7 but may I advise putting it on the power supply shroud it seems like a bit more of a nice platform down here then yeah it may be not at all the millenium talkin is known to conflict with graphics cards in this type of situation it's true due to the protrusion of the we don't we don't want to capping your framerate or anything so maybe get it off of your graphics card I'm joking of course but um let's see apart from that your graphics card stands out a little bit just as the only thing with the red accent other than of course the the cable the cabling so I don't know you could potentially do a mod on this by removing the shroud and doing some painting or something like that that could be a little project to make things line up a little bit better or you could get ready to read extensions if I happen to know they go make credit that black white and red I think that would look really nice ABI be a little bit more of an empire sort yeah though and you got the money and fuck them there so that might for irony that might complete its spray-paint the Millennium Falcon bread yes pretend solved that the Empire has taken the old Millennium Falcon wow that would be has ever had this never happened has it ooh like I mean it's been hijacked being captured like the Galecki Empire Jack hijacking but like the the Empire actually use using and Falcon against and then it should react the same way that the characters do its everything JJ Abrams would do though I bet fuckin changing I don't know okay sorry spoilers nice nice build oh yeah Rhys Rhys Haley Rhys I'm pronouncing your name right you had a dual Xeon heaps 2695 v 212 course each oh my brother 64 gigs of ddr3 ECC Ram two gtx 980 s in sli intel 732 in 40 gig SSD with samsung a 50 Evo 5 are you Sound Blaster is the exercise reserved Liam Lee PC a 7 6 X case that's Liam in case interesting to meet Langley cases like this but you can definitely tell that it is from the fan and stuff but wow you know it's those not to us and the end the end the SLI bridges I mean this is such a powerful system I mean you know obviously so that this is that it's it's it's supposed to heard were from a year year and a half ago but it's an incredibly powerful system so like this is the type of thing I'm like who cares about what it looks like no you should you've got so much but yet but yet you can see the same thing that worked you can suspend my PC so alright so we gotta give I gotta give some advice here alright take these Noctua fans see if you can get those not to it covers and it covers that they didn't sand and put those on there get knocked to a fans that are black and put blue corners on the make your system black and blue because you have blue accent measures mothered motherboard yeah you can't really change that at all make them less your memory is ECC memory kit do they make like a dirty memory pretty ECC memory do they make good looking east no no don't want you don't want to not use this memory he's got the right memory for his computer you can add on yeah like spreader yeah heat spreaders aftermarket heat spike buy some crappy memory that has heat spreaders and heat get off the heat spreaders and put it on there like some of the old Corsair Vengeance no yeah that might conflict with the coolers though so never mind take maybe take off your intel logos on your Ethernet or Ethernet ports there yeah you know that's a lie bridges does that just change the ax on your ax 1500 idle blue yeah so match everything else and then get rid of your there's a little fan splitter here that's but it's only being only one side is plugged inning anyway that doesn't look good either finally all the cables six leaving job with your cables and where I thought there were more drives in here but there's only one drive at the top drive at the top that's going on over here hero is something I saw the lightbox just quick anyway yeah those are our suggestions yeah yeah what a say yep beyond that goodbye but again crazy powerful systems so and apparently from chats they're saying that his name is pronounced Reese Reese reason probably make alright more sense cool thanks Beast next weekís Cody Cody with horizon 7 1700 don't build a WoW Ford drives in this build can you find all it's like a noob or it's like a newborn build it is it's an OS looks like a fractal design an OS where the dorable system he's probably got maybe one an nvme and then I think maybe the rest of them are behind they must be behind the motherboard tray cuz you get I think on the nano mess you have two SSD mounts yeah plus whatever nvme he's got there and maybe he's wedged another one maybe there's actually ok so there's probably room I believe this I believe right here is the mount that you have for a 3.5 inch drive so that's probably one right there yep I think right in the mother there's an nvme you like an MDOT to slot on the back of this motherboard and then to SSDs on them behind the motherboard type of motherboard tray yeah that's probably where you got that's what I'm thinking but that's still pretty cool yeah four drives in this system is great you've got hella fans you got some - tech tips addition not too as I see which is totally fine but I wouldn't the industrial oh oh you're right bright orange or summer thank you at any rate either way I still would have liked to see all the fans be uniform I think you should just ya go all the way make them all knock - industrial fans yeah if you can get a couple more of those and you can also get the little kit to swap the tips out that'll get they'll get rid of your brown because the madam doesn't really match with everything right or with anything and you're right if you were all brown and black that'd be fine with me but you're stuck with the red on the motherboard yeah so either get the red corners for an all Noctua fans or go all black or something like that and just make it very minimal red accent get rid of your C sonic power supplies sticker maybe one little short extension here for your 24 pin yeah just just for that little part right there yep maybe you know you can easily go red and black to match your asrock what card is that chipset right there oh wait that's a little shorty card I don't know it is oh it's rx 560 all right same SI r RX 560 that's 32 gig memory kit damn what what oh yeah wrap so that yeah that's powerful system that's a got eight quarter there's like a portable and or sixteen thread and 32 32 gigs of memory so yeah this is a this rig definitely seems a little bit more geared towards power for processing and compute tasks than it does for gaming but of course you can game same time yeah it says workstation ability says oh it's workstation so there we go yes very nice though Kui yeah well then well done alright let's go on to Brian Brian underscore nine nine underscore nine nine and so here are his specs I 360 300h 170 Emperor for motherboard 8 gigs of DDR 421 33 and 970 graphics card of course are carbide 270 are 850 Evo 250 gig SSD and a 520 watt modular power supply all right interesting so obviously cardinal sin here for pip my PC we have a stock heatsink with Intel these are horrible yep they're noisy loud they're they're they're passable means of cooling your CPU if you're just getting started or you're doing it outside of the box build or something like that but one of your primary goals when a system is built with one of these coolers on it should be to remove it and replace it with something better because there's lots of options and lots of them look quite good for you know around 30 bucks right you got your you gotta cry rig your h7 you can drop on there now granted granted this is not an overclockable cpu so I will take that into consideration here your main goal here is just to make things a little bit quieter give yourself a little bit better long-term noise generation and also to get rid of just make things look better yeah yeah I cry every gauge 7 maybe even like the c7 or something like a low-profile one that I wouldn't yeah they look fine on there those a little bit check totally you know like a cooler master the master 12 Evo the master air pro 4 would be reasonably maybe more updated other ones are the ones I don't know I know max is trying a blank yeah they're TR 14 oh it's nuts onto your for you there are tears ETS for the smaller one yeah that'd be a good option - those are good - oh look yeah and that's really the main thing standing on here everything else looks fairly clean you have a clear fan down here which might light up with a hideous LED when you turn it on yeah I'm not a big fan of the clear fans the fans they equates me like the clear heels they're just little tiny well tacky and you wonder what they've been doing to make their money I'm gonna start calling those stripper fans yeah they're tripper fans get your dirty stripper fan out of here fucking Brian thanks for submitting that though buddy appreciate it a dark throat yeah definitely a dark art pro would be a good movie had to be sexy pair up with the i3 was 6300 thanks we've got pup Shepherd the good old pub all right all right he's got hub pups what what you toxic counties are flagged no no is it really this medium sensitive but you know it's fine okay Oh learn more no there's more fine it's a PC perfect wait how come I didn't get that because when I went to his friends with top Shepherd I don't know anyway and I'm not following him I can't wait did he think oh my oh yes this definitely is sensitive yeah okay all right he has a big warning at the top that it's not safe you're right that's very right that's a very classy pup thank you for doing yep good call pup has some unique tastes that's solely fine now I can Travis we're trying to look at this girls now curious is editing now all of his media posts I think a gaming machine maybe I'll like it tell me I'll be in 2016 we don't know all right so FX 8350 to securitize x-series 240 or that 16 gig before my Porsche get you've been warned he warned them he's got a 10 gigabit he said got a 10 gig Wow that's it right so there's there's our side view yar there is our oh goodness alright so card yep this is another variant looks like a lot of works being done with this computer yeah I'm like the kind of old school you've taken all of your case badges and put put them on the case I feel like that's not really done anymore right I used to do that like I'm the case said the opening flap on the on the fronts put them on instead of that sometimes anybody though the cable management's is mediocre at best yeah Kevin just I'm just I think you have a lot of case upgrade would be I like the close-up the close-up of the business end of the hard drives there yeah just getting getting dirty it would also help your cable management if you flipped the drives if possible if you flipped him 180 then obviously be plugging in all those SATA cables at the back cuz he's already got so much going on back there I mean at this point you use a floppy drive you have fully maxed out this appears to be a floppy is this can't be a floppy drive maybe it's a nasty dirty yeah it's gonna be a great leader or something like that or maybe a two-and-a-half-inch hot swap or something oh yeah yeah I guess that's possible too so so something like that though yeah but yeah you got the optical drive here more are these more than hard drives up here look there's more drives up in the upper parts let's just say I see an SSD maybe an SSD going up there but yeah yeah I mean a bigger case I don't know where to start you need it as Laura's telling you what to do aesthetically because it's kind of like it's kind of like when I've been I've been doing all this cleanup recently like the vlog or the video had posted a few days ago mm-hmm and it's like when I go and I look at this massive mess and I'm just like hey where do you stand again just a lot I freeze up because I'm like what yeah where do you start right I don't know where to tell you where to start here alright the things that are good you got a good graphics card you got a good CPU cooler I like your motherboard you got these add-on cards which you must be using for something I don't know what these are capture cards sound cards that really memory what's going on there but yeah like your I really like this picture because it's someone who is really there's going to miss there's clearly something being done with this here oh yeah you'd be quiet you be quiet hi Dan go lay down today this broadcast is brought to you by be quiet anyway though look up thank you for sending that in yeah we have one more to cover here see do we baby and this is an honorable mention all right a system that stood out to me among the rest my guess Maryanne thank you very much for your risin five 1600 system with a gtx 1080 hall-of-fame edition from galaxy this is truly a pretty system you got the Wow it's sort of a white grey and teal theme going on here that definitely reminds me a lot of Tron right off the bat which I love the color scheme there it just looks super clean yeah what is this an s3 40 elite yes a perfect case for a build like this everything just looks so clean the the extensions or the actual cable saving is on point all the training looks fantastic you've got matching fans all around with some beautiful illuminated RAM sticks and a gorgeous cryocooler to match everything and that MSI logo on that SSD is fantastic as well everything about this system it's like the best looking system you could pull off without custom water cooling it's like my only - really nice my only critique here is just one of those fundamental PC building stuff of like the ever-rising 5 1600 be 350 board that's fine DT X 1080 I mean I'd like my only critique would be some of the stuff the money the spent on aesthetics here could have been could be towards getting attendees yeah you're getting it you're getting a 1700 or something like that but I mean given the end results here like it that's again a very very minor thing I would like you got a beautiful system here so yeah very very well done yeah just just a yeah choice of parts and color scheme and everything I'm them popping a slight chub right now yep thank you very much for that Mary Ann and that's gonna conclude it for pimp my PC for today thank you all who submitted you'll have another opportunity in the future if we didn't get picked today let's move on to our next segment which is face-off yeah keep it rolling let's keep the energy flowing yeah I promise you guys that this is a tech news show and we will get to tech news before the end of my hacks about tech we have sure we're using computers to do the show here's our technology I love how smart you are so today's game is the knife party knife party which just sounds like a gasps you should grab the keyboard over there sure yeah but still me that's the only one but just making sure that it wasn't like missing missing a guy over there a guy like a keyboard like if there was another keyboard over there that I should have seen but I didn't usually there's a snackie keyboards day that's when I was tripping out of girls like I've been doing a bunch of you be cleaning moving things around and all of your cleaning and organizing Paul's really thrown me off I'm sorry I I can't find anything I'll try to keep things get things cluttered against a lot easier locating things in your garage when it very soon before you organized ah it's plugged in guys thank you for the donations rolling in will be reading off all the comments you attach to those at the end of each half of the show so just keep giving us money all right so what's do we have a punishment here um I didn't have one in mind line up lined up I had a couple ideas for perhaps a embarrassing tweet that one of us would have to send to somebody else or perhaps we have to do like a karaoke cover of a particularly embarrassing song I haven't no karaoke set up YouTube YouTube but you know people just upload like karaoke don't stop believing by journey and like you can just do karaoke on YouTube alright you want to get your video you know flagged hey hey do you monetize we don't get them done because my rendition of we don't get enough views on awesome hardware and change melody we don't get immediately Flags always oh gee I'm obviously the original someone's uploaded a very high-quality clearly the sources we found the store we've located the source gentleman it's so if you're singing so on point that it Flags the the journey VEVO channel for copyright not be writing your original that's probably what's gonna happen all right it's nice party we're gonna knife each other stab each other with no that's the plan we without video games this would just sound like a night I like this game cuz there's no other options here but play play more games and it decapitated head can you see okay two player Versalles oh yeah you should probably look at that player to move the arrow keys okay oh oh there's a match you can use magic that's good there's a ten keyless keyboard here so our hands are very close together yes my fingers are nimble and ready for fingering is that is that right I think I'll be alright alright no we've ordered to play versus this looks fine I'm gonna be fir do you produce produce all these those are the only two options I am so I did this earlier and for some reason you have to press I think I have more armor and more magic damage I keep depressed hey Chris let your guy have to select so f did not work F work for me but it didn't work for you okay so here we have to wait this side though we've to decide before we start playing now how many we're gonna go up to the rounds are fairly short so I'm gonna say what first two three okay is that cool sure all right let's do it oh jeez haha Oh No huh I use my magic against you I'm terrible they said these are quick they are let should've hit you you're being a bitch I'm really not good that's one point for me this is Stannis we get you the best game ever it just kept tomates you bitch how come how come you get like a bottle look at empty because I I have better magic my man you like a homeless guy or something what are you any Matt yeah that doesn't mean you a better magic no that's my uplift maybe within the stats oh my god we're not looking at the stats when we chose I carried this fairly important alright I'm drinking beer okay no I waited for you to look at the screen alright ready chief oh Jesus go away that was an interesting thing I was able to do that I wasn't aware before you slide yeah I kind of do the slide thing slighty slide EIT how we discovering moves that aren't even listed in the story like in and out there's a secret menu they're getting good man you're getting real good to learn the game you're so cool that should appear so smooth right now good all right one more I figured out the trick one more here we go oh all right so that was it only goes up to best out of three but we're playing good we're playing to three so okay so I need one come on Oh all right all right you win game you win I'm terrible with and I am clearly champion of knife fight you're the champion knife writer I should I should get into knife fights more right all the time well if there's ever a knife fight that breaks breaks down I'll be sure to have you on my team all right you owe me $20 20 different sets of punishment to see you give me cash cash okay you have a couple options here you can either force me to send out an embarrassing tweet to anyone of your choice or you can have me do a karaoke cover of any song or you can force me to perhaps drink my beer for the rest of the show out of out of a bowl using only a spoon and maybe a fork I like the karaoke option okay you got it but I'm kind of now so I like I realized the audience they need something here so okay okay can you give me like three choices of songs that you would actually know how to sing okay and I'll pick from those three choices of songs guys and chats you can let us know if you have any suggestions as well I'm asking you because as you know some songs okay you need to know the song well yeah sure okay if I was like oh you know writing wrecking ball see think of an obscure song alright um let's see sing sing diamonds on the soles of your shoes by Paul Simon yeah I don't even know I don't even know what the hell what the hell that even is immigrant song that'd be a good one when do you whole Hotel California oh yeah that's easy enough all right man I wish I made guitar actually can you play on the ukulele no it's really not in tune I don't think my guitar is I think so that will probably get this your your half flags just if there's anything that's gonna be here it's gonna probably be hotel okay well I feel like anything's gonna get a flag anything that's worth singing here or what about oh no I don't know that's good enough wraps me so like it's so long whiny bow you have to just sing the you know from from the after he shoots the guy yeah right okay you've got some good ideas here and pineapple apple 10/10 oh god annoying yeah it's dumb I hate it um free bird I need a virgin free bird yeah wonderful I'm a abide by CCR you'll see the police NWA like a virgin that'd be fun rick roll oh rick astley just do the classic and they're gonna give you up yeah all right let's do that see it's that I feel like that can't get flagged anymore I feel like you probably just added that to its white less than like there's just too many people we can't we can't control it just let let the rick rick gastly go just let it go alright let's see how this goes I don't I only know the course really well I don't know like the verses so I'll do my best but it could be super cringe it will be super cringe just so you know so that's a loading bar letting me know when I'm supposed to sing yeah okay this is oh I have no idea what I'm about to say okey so I'm guessing sorry is that oh god I don't even know the melody for the verse I don't even know help me yeah okay okay all right here we go let you never gonna run around and desert you never gonna make you cry never gonna say goodbye never gonna tell a lie and hurt you we've known each other for so No yeah your husband makings of you to just say I don't know this part let's say we both know us go around we know the game never gonna give you up never gonna let you down never gonna run around and is hurt you desert you bet you never gonna say goodbye never gonna tell a lie and hurt you will give you up never gonna let you down never gonna run around and desert you never gonna make you cry never gonna say goodbye never gonna tell a lie and hurt you yeah well there's more back that way there's more but again for the sake of all the people who have shares we will sound immediately thank you thank you and good night no actually we still have more to talk about yes we do but hey that was fun okay with everyone who endured that moment of our dream tonight we have some tech news for you all thank you for clipping the chat appreciate it thanks for sharing that moment with the world everyone needs to see it all right we're peaking I'm sorry I can turn up the compressor yes you'd be competing we thank you I'm flattered we are peaking this is the best we've ever done okay okay we can really I'm not usually gonna take them compliments it's my best you know it just keeps getting better as you're talking right now but people keep coming back to awesome hardware Hey all right guys let's talk about some tech news let's bring it down a notch here get back to reality about this serious yeah I'm serious serious things are happening in the tech industry you should all be war is gonna affect everyone in video first starters is reportedly restricting its partners all of its beloved add-in board partners from selling GeForce GPUs gaming related graphics cards for server and high-performance PC use or HPC use this is an article from game debate they actually have been noticing or actually caught wind from digit times digit times was saying that gaming GPUs first starters as we all know are not just good for gaming and a lot of server suppliers are using GeForce car for their server and HPC usage instead of the more expensive Tesla and Quadro cards which is what those cards are really intended for to handle those high high-end workloads but you know gaming cards are good for that sort of thing too and even more so gaming GPUs are typically cheaper than professional-grade workstation cards so a lot of these ad and board partners are saying hey we can cut down margins significantly if we just put some gaming GPUs inside of our server and HPC based systems instead of forking out six grand for a freaking Quadros enterprise stuff in general is extremely exactly yes so they're really able to cut down margins this way and also sell their product to customers for a cheaper rate but NVIDIA has been catching wind of this lately and they're not too happy about it so they've actually been putting in stricter measures with the potential threat of withholding GPU distribution from these companies from their own ad and board partners if they don't adhere to their rules and at this point businesses have two choices they can either concede and be like okay fine and video if you're gonna put us in this corner we're going to just we're gonna we're gonna bite the bullet and buy a Tesla or Quadro product or they could completely lash out and go the opposite way and maybe seek out competitor offerings from the likes of AMD with their fire Pro Series cards or what's the other one instinct or even Radeon hardware they might just start going for Radeon GPUs and then what a clusterfuck would we be in when Bitcoin liners and server age or slash HPC suppliers are eating up all of the gaming GPU inventory we could see prices rise even further just when they're just barely starting to come down as we'll talk about more in Pauls half but it's quite interesting it's it's sort of it's sort of it kind of makes a case for gaming GPUs really like even if you're not gaming who Roger could see is this just in oh this is two hours ago holy crap okay so this is an article that we will potentially talk about either okay okay we already share stuff first okay so let's do it after you're playing stuff okay so this is all it important now so let's do this quickly yeah holy you're a big girl Stephen Britt big growth in in 2018 so this is from E times the DRM exchange which is a Taiwan based firm that tracks memory chip pricing has claimed that Samsung whoo olds who holds 45% of the DRAM market is increasing capacity to get a leg up over the competition and also to keep newer Chinese companies who are trying to get into that market out there trying to keep the Chinese people out and Chinese people it sounds racist the Chinese companies out of the DRAM market the trying to snag calls versus chair business this business that point Paul the firm is projecting DRM bit supply to grow by twenty two point five percent next year that's up from nineteen point six percent in 2017 Samsung is allegedly planning to allocate some of its capacity that had been initially set aside for NAND flash 2d tranche so they're going okay let's pull some inventory from NAND flash and let's put it towards DRAM and this is gonna scale up the amount that's just the shear capacity or amount of DRAM that Samsung is a tech giant will be supplying next year and this is of course going to sort of force Samsung's competitors which is currently SK Hynix and what's the other one SK Hynix and what is it no micron micron could not remember the microphone why I'm at P micron technology to also sort of increase their output to stay competitive in the market and this week Samsung has announced its highest-ever quarterly semiconductor sales so that was it was also gonna focus on cost competitive DRAM solutions which should theoretically mean that in 2018 we should be seeing lower D Ram prices memory will finally be more affordable than it has been in the past and this is like they have been the market and it's happened before it's probably gonna happen again but you know there's been accusations of the manufacturers of DRAM kind of putting a squeeze on the market over the past six months or so which just led to the rising prices most D Ram kits that you look at now if you look at the nine months or a year ago they've doubled in price but then what happens is the price raises and then eventually you have a company like Samsung is like all right price is high we're gonna manufacture a bunch now mm-hmm and and take advantage of those high prices right then the other companies have to do the same thing yeah because as long as there's at least a few of them as long as that's just one you know manufacturer of DRAM right then more of them will start upping their output and hopefully we'll see prices come back down yeah and I think it's kind of a lightning rod as soon as the the DRAM prices skyrocket a lot of all a lot of these other Chinese companies that are sort of no-name in the u.s. anyway are starting to see dollar signs and they're like okay well we can make ridiculous margins off of the DRAM we sell in the US because the the market pricing is so high right now and I think this has sort of been Samsung's response to that and going holy crap now that DRAM is going for so so high selling for so high right now I mean it helps us but at the same time it's also sort of catapult in all these new Chinese companies into our market and we'd like to weed them out and be like on top again and and retain our market share so let's just continue making a shit ton more DRAM so we can sell it at lower prices and stay more competitive amongst the competition so that's kind of what's going on here and I will leave it at that for that article but long and short TL DR is cheaper memory 2018 coming soon next up we've got an article from video cards calm this is about an X FX custom Radeon rx Vega GPU we're suspecting that it's a Vegas 56 based on the PCIe power connectors we've got one six and one eight pen which follows the reference design of Vega 56 this is from XFX of course it's got two large red fans with a carbon fiber style shroud genuine carbon-fibre I'm sure but interestingly it's go again PC I cannot you know but not only is that a notch there's that's where the PCA connectors are the power plugs are right smack in the middle of the PCB or at least the middle of the card I I believe that the PCB is actually quite short route itself is longer they're down here yeah the PC is there no better picture of that in this article video cards I don't know yeah you would think with a website like video cards comm that they would have a little bit more visual elements for us but oh okay yeah I mean I imagine if you have a a nice sleeved kit or something maybe it look kind of cool tucked into a little notch you know maybe yeah I don't know yeah I'd like to see more pictures of it there's like six in an 8-pin I feel like the closer you get the closer you move the power connectors to PCIe slot the longer distance the cables have to travel from whatever grommet or you know cut out there yeah refer them down on the end of the card yeah and them in the middle it can be more awkward for cable management right so it would be interesting to actually see like if you took this card and put it in a variety of different cases even the case is that like the the s340 or the s340 elite that has the actual cable cut out for GPUs at the bottom on the power supply shroud if that would actually line up fairly well or it would still be a disaster what you need with this card is it is like a Jeep like a water a water block that goes on it right that has the in and outs like on either side of where the the cables come out and so you can have like the the tubing come out and the cables it's the same I'd be cool I don't know maybe I'm pretty look definitely look Union that could be fun yeah so you guys can look out for that it's got a full cover back plate LED backlit logo that sort of thing no pricing and availability as of yet next up we've got an article from ARS technica this is about the Android security update for November that rolled out clang this is a fixing crack the crack situation that Paul talked about I believe you talked about this on a recent episode we did perhaps this week also slapping a bandaid on the pixel to excel screen which we've talked extensively about in episodes prior so there was actually three patches that Google released for Android this month and they've been released with the fix for the high profile key reinstallation attack which is known as crack for those who missed it crack is pretty much a vulnerability there was a vulnerability that was found in the wpa2 protocol which is basically responsible for Wi-Fi network security and it was discovered that a key reinstallation attack or crack could compromise the encryption between a device and its access point allowing him attacker to basically view or access data that was assumed to be encrypted which is obviously bad news for anyone who uses Wi-Fi google has patched a ton of these crack related bugs under the 2017 - 11-0 six label so that's what you want to look for in your about page on your mobile device if you want to see if if you've received that patch yet the patch treats android 8.0 oreo all the way back to 5.0.2 lollipop and additionally if you have a pixel or Nexus device I believe the patch is still waiting to be rolled out for those devices so pixel and Nexus you have to wait on that for but I'm sure it's just like literally probably coming out later this week or maybe next week the patch is also bringing some quasi fixes like semi fixes to the pixel to XL to XL screen that Google announced two weeks ago this was a serious issue that the phone was having with burnin and to address this concern Google is planning to release a patch that maximizes the screen brightness to a virtually imperceptible 50 CD / M tune it's so it's gonna actually lower the the Mac brightness by a smidge that to the human eye isn't really you're not gonna notice the difference allegedly but it should reduce the amount of load that's happening on your device on the screen specifically additionally the always-on navigation bar which was the biggest culprit for burnin on these devices is going to dim when it isn't being used so it's kind of adaptive in that sense and it's also gonna switch from black to white depending on the application that you that you're running as for the dole color that's been continually reported with the pixel to XL Google has added a new color section did you get your pixel too already yeah I'm returning it for a refund are you really yeah have you is that because you actually checked out the phone and looked at the screen and we're like you noticed that it was that poor quality or it's because my camera on the phone stopped working really yeah not an issue I have heard about reported very widely or anything but I initially opened it up and started using it on Saturday morning I had set up to do like a vlog with it I recorded the unboxing of it and I took it out and I was started like we went on a walk with our with our dogs on Saturday morning and I was recording stuff with it and everything like that and then after about two or three hours of using it suddenly whenever I tried to access the camera on it it would freeze up and like whatever app I was trying to use to access the camera whether it was the camera app or you know messenger or hangouts or whatever it would just freeze up and lock out and wouldn't let me use the camera Wow yeah it was kind of a crappy a crappy thing to happen yes a big reason why I got the phone was because of the camera and to get that phone like my thought when I get it is one I have the original pixel excel and I really really like it it's my favorite phone yeah so did a really good job on that yeah excel to their to excels supposed to have a better camera yeah so part of my thought and getting that is like alright my phone that I always have on me and I make videos for a living any of social media accounts yeah Graham its anytime I want to pull like that I don't want to be able to take a picture with it you know that I ordered it before any of the information to come out about the blues greens blue shift on the led about the burnin on the o LED I was willing to sort of deal with that yeah as it happens yeah but then I like actually had a physical technical technical problem with the phone yeah that's that wasn't it like I did I did a full factory reset on it did not fix it Wow basically the connection between the camera and the there's a hardware issue going on somewhere in there as far as I can tell so yeah here's to see what Google's quality assurance or quality control section looks like well is this how does this actually slip through the hell was it LG was an LG LG OLED this yeah yeah and it's one of the first LG OLED to be featured on a flagship phone in quite some time yeah so I mean which is why they rolled this out this the new color section in this in the display settings with a saturated mode that basically makes the display look like a Samsung the lid is what the article says it's like let's just basically make it look like a one of those because that's what most of the flagship phones today are using as a Samsung OLED there's also a natural and a boosted profile that you could choose but the saturated is what actually will ignore the original srgb settings and apply its own distinct filter to make it look more like a Samsung phone which seems to be what people like on their phones these days so I'm I'm very shocked I'm very sad and disappointed that the camera wasn't working for you yeah it was it was enough of a thing where like because I could I could have asked for a replacement I could have gotten a replacement mm-hmm like that was an option and they replace it and everything but sure like I was already not any of the first people to post a video on the pixel 2xl yeah you know that's fine I was willing to do a video a little bit after the fact sure it'd be even further delayed by the RMA process for everything and just the fact that it's like literally it's like $1,000 the the configuration I got 128 gigs of storage and everything yeah was close to $1,000 yeah and you don't expect I'm not sure I'm not willing to put up with the issues that if I'm not with it on top of the the hardware issue that I had it along with that so I'm just like no I'll get a refund yeah look at another phone I am NOT for people in chances and I've said yes seminole said you know we said you I wanted to do look I'm looking forward to the person - I'm still totally finding my pixel XL yeah it's a very good thought if anyone said it's my wife because my wife was expecting my pixel XL to be handed down to her well I had to pixel to XL bummer we'll see how that goes though she maybe we can find another optional replacement for it but all right what's next all right let's move on to our last article for tonight which is our list for my half of the show which is about intel and AMD x' custom SOC you know what I'm gonna save this I'm gonna put in my two cents on this on your half because we're short on time so let's go ahead and wait let's do your your add-on story here though okay my add-on story and then this is breaking news days later breaking news so earlier today the information came out that Rodger Kaduri the kind of heart and soul of our gradient technologies group is leaving he's departing them he's been us on a sabbatical for a while oh I mean who cares Paul he went on sabbatical a big tech companies all the time what's I know about this one so the big the big drama now and is a WCC F tech article so as always grain of salt salt a little more like a like more than a grain Paul but let's stir the pot a little bit does Roger Cordrey according to WCC F Tech is seeking new horizons that Intel oh oh my god ah given know given the crazy news about the Intel and AMD making a combined chip together as well as maybe NASA too far off base but you Benedict oh my goodness it like other events now Intel press events it would be weird seeing him and he just took a sabbatical from AMD did he not after the Vega launch yeah I just said that I'm a little hazy honest Trumpkin alright the rump khun's got me hammered yeah this is this is really big news and the fact that he was so heavily invested in the graphical side of things that AMD leads you to believe that he's also gonna be apparently the presser because you've outmatched the compressor with your Kyle vs. compressor we're still a compressor level I want to say for round one right now poit okay this is this is insane I did not see this coming I didn't see this coming even more than I saw Intel and AMD collaborating on an SOC I mean I have to think that he's he's gonna help them now with the SOC and did you imagine if Intel released a discrete graphics card should I continue yelling and have my lungs so that you can test the compressor probably not now that attorney on Sep oh oh geez oh wait what what effects what effects we probably sound like like penis I mean if we if we do our demon impersonations voices we sound like 10 times like demons that's my only disappointment about streaming it okay sorry headphone users since everyone's going crazy alright alright end of the show when there's some shout outs for people who have given us donations right oh really really quickly try to answer some questions that have come through yes Tom's brems myths from the 15 origin Rona Kyle I you can then it would be great to read my donations in skin deep skin to the Amin accent by the way with your first impressions about floatplane community versus YouTube Effie first off I don't know what whose can take me an exit sounds like level on how to actually impersonate one candidate but do you know no I I just I can't do it justice so I'm not gonna try but I'm flattered that you would ask floatplanes me how long I watched Pippi Longstocking when I was giving yeah I don't even knows that qualifies I haven't seen it since I was like seven I think yeah so it's an oldie but floatplanes been awesome I like it a lot more than YouTube already okay yeah the video and audio playback on their platform on their player is way better I'm sure I've said this a thousand times but the 720p on floatplane looks like the 1080p on YouTube it really is like crispy I have to watch out and make sure that there's like so no dust on the components really shows it's real it's really good awesome if I can if I can propose the counter here to the floatplane you know glowing review or whatever yeah Luke Luke one of the driving forces behind floatplane flavors here's what I foresee right floatplane people are looking for some sort of alternative to YouTube sure for various reasons why wouldn't they float plane has some potential to become one of those alternatives there's been other attempts in the past such as vessel and that kind of thing flow plane if it does happen to become like what if it becomes a competitor to YouTube 50% even like a quarter of the use of YouTube's you know viewership and that kind of thing what if that actually happens Luke will become like a rich evil dude that sounds like evil v8 he'll be rich all this money and evil and just because the riches yeah it comes with the evening off like what does a little like a little mustache and whatever you really you'll become evil Luke because of all the money you'll probably look exactly like Roger Kaduri because absolute power corrupts absolutely and obviously if you have the amount of power that someone with you know like it like if you were in charge of YouTube right if you were like YouTube is mine then I own it and whatever like you'd have a pretty decent amount of power you probably end up being evil probably what happened but you know what Luke is also Canadian so like evil Canadian is like our version of a really good person like even an evil Canadian would be like maybe just maybe he just develops a really evil voice but he's still just as nice as he always is he's always nice looks always nice in my experience I've never felt any ill-will towards towards Luke or felt that he had any towards me I I feel like he's a nice genuine person and that's what makes me truly terrified of him it certainly does have a silver tongue which I would not like those myself let's really please Fred ranch $5 no more money for Kyle until he takes wife to a very nice dinner cuz I took her to a very nice dinner recently he did yes I did you can ask her all about it if she I don't know if she's in chat I haven't seen her but yes I did take her a nice dinner I wouldn't be opposed to eat her turn those other nights did you choose my wife had we gotten all the time in the world take my wife to dinner tonight I know and I will she's making me a nice dinner does that count no it doesn't count because she's doing it anyway also I think Jenny's wasted Jenny keeps texting you randomly you know oh good fun fucking my phone Brian win five dollars and 11 cents my water cooled 980ti is dying what should i buy to drive by 1440p 144 Hertz freesync monitor also can I put vodka in my custom loop I would say a 1080 or a 1080i yeah 1440p 144 cards even a TIV clutch even a 10-7 TTI I mean if you're really like if like 450 bucks is your cutoff you can't spend your ever than that then maybe a 10-7 TTI that would be another reasonable solution via any of those options that count mentioned Brian Sprouse 10 bucks love you guys your vids are we're coming in to Pete building pcs wait what bright-eyed freesync monitor but he has a freesync monitor Brian Webb oh oh oh yes totally Oh Brian Webb yes 36 because we're discuss on my half of the show you can actually buy him for like yes maybe not 400 bucks prices are all over for in 20-ish at least as of earlier today we'll see when we get back to my half but Brandon thank you good catch Brent's right across 10 bucks love you guys your vids are what got me into building pcs question for Kyle though which CPU cooler worked better in your no 202 projects the cryo you see seven or the Noctua l 9i I know you used both I know I know we live - um honestly I think the c7 actually dropped temps about three to five degrees over the Noctua l9 I yes yes it did it actually has a slightly it looks to me like a bigger fan on it and a slightly bigger heatsink I mean don't get me wrong the Noctua l9 I is fantastic if you're really pressed for high clearance because it is like almost half height of the c7 but because of that you're also losing out on some heat fin your fin array just surface area and things like that so I would say the c7 performs a little bit better but you are losing out a bit of that clearance nation bear that in mind mr. Senor you can't go wrong with either though mr.

signed me on they're like okay well maybe you know I feel like they they're probably gonna start reaching out to more more partners yeah don't be surprised if you see me jump on there too yeah and lmg if you're watching hit me up couldn't Clayton for the five bucks wondering if it's worth upgrading to an 87 hundred K from a 67 hundred K early next year no I'm going to school for 3d modeling animation and currently using a gtx 1070 still no it's the only worthy upgrade from a 6700 K at this point would probably be up to thread Ripper or sky like X I am oh that's reasonable yeah you're gonna see any mad gains from anything else for your six core for your application 3d modeling and animation which is probably gonna be very compute intensive compute yes an upgrade from sixty seven oh two K to eighty seven hundred K would it require an upgraded motherboard and base platform in which case you'd probably better be better suited looking at something they can provide you with eight cores are above sorry to get you up right now such as an AMD rise an option or beyond that if you have a little bit more money thread Ripper or sky leak X here we go thank you pop Shepard five bucks for now my PC I use for content creation the ten gigabytes I think that's the big event next umm connects to my six terabyte drive mass I will upgrade to Verizon 718 the next very informative that's awesome that sounds like a sweet little set that you've got there man 6 4 terabyte I need to get something like that I only have like weight less than that yeah I want to do that 10 give it between this area and then back there nice ZZR hardy 10 Australian we are your friends and this is an intervention please no more karaoke nice Ronnie you I've been watching since March my best friend streams twos Tuesdays but I watch you all anyway mind rating him tonight his name is KY lby TV on pitch that's up to sell we help we do whatever sells tells us to so look at that person and see if they're actively streaming and if they're not you know like killing children or something and then perhaps you use your own judgment whether or not we should scream to that radial X seelix month too long ago two dollars and seventy seven cents what our good pair of over ear headphones that are good for gaming and listening to music around 150 to 250 bucks I want to say here Sennheiser's the Sennheiser's are really good those are the gaming series this is the older version these are the PC 360s but the sense says Sennheiser gaming series yeah which has various options up in the the exact range you're looking for I have really been happy with both with the really comfortable sound quality as well as it's not like Mike like we're using right now but the boom mic that you get with it is also quite nice nice cool if you guys were looking for something if you were looking for something more just like on the headset or headphone I should say headphones side of things without a microphone built in honestly the beyerdynamic dt 880 pros that I bought years ago are now on one hundred two hundred fifty bucks which i think is a huge bargain you do need a pretty good amplifier yes a candle well they actually come in like thirty to sixty or so you can you can have your pick of the litter there but just make sure that you're able to actually drive whichever ohms you go with additionally we've got heli dragon five ten ten bucks thank you very much sir guys my Linux workstation is an i-5 twenty three twenty enough grade to i7 3770 or full horizon three thirteen hundred X gaming rig as arisin seven seventeen hundred budget is consideration so new or upgrade my old crap hashtag raised all the things I would say if you are currently at an i-5 23 2008 say I'm gonna say go for the rise in three thirteen hundred X because if you're already having a rise in seven seventeen hundred for your main gaming system you have an easy upgrade path there once your gaming system upgrades to the next whatever it happens in the next year or two you can immediately upgrade your 1300 X based system on I have 40 or 1700 that's true upgrade path available there yeah that's that's what I would go for it plus I mean if you're talking about a Linux workstation system they're very efficient so that's what that's what I would say ya 3770 is still a good chip but it's it's old its old its old and there's nowhere to go from that like the chipset doesn't have nearly as many features poor Maximus Maximus $5 can we expect to see an upgraded build to the go anywhere do anything PC with Rison or coffee like parts if so will you stick with the no - OH - I actually did do an upgraded version of that of the gada system ga da go anywhere do anything with risin 1800 X I believe or was horizon 7 1700 I think either way it was arising that 8 quart and it was fantabulous I've since disassembled its because I needed the parts for the thing that's very sad but perhaps I'll do something else with that in the future no 202 is a great case I absolutely love it especially since it can be easily modified to fit a 120 millimeter AO Sebastian Casella foot any arse hey Kyle are you ever going to add Steve to your old tattoo burrs impersonations video love this episode keep it going you know what I've been considering doing impersonations part two because I've been getting a lot of requests for it lately um there's some people who have gotten more popular since you did the original the game has changed yeah the game and the community has changed as far as tech tubers go there are a lot of people like it for sure trust me guys I've thought about this more than you have there are a lot of new to waiters the wig for Steve I think would be there yeah the tech Jesus Steve yeah oh the flowing locks it's it's very is a very enticing proposition that's I heard you talk about how terrible like this terrible Intel thing in this terrible AMD thing in this terrible and video and it all sucks everything so awful god forbid and put in a Coulomb out there there any of them attempts to launch a product this is shitty you can see crabs everywhere alright Giovani immediately commanding five dollars from last week do you guys really think two gtx 970 s in sli isn't enough VRAM you kept saying 3.5 gigs but isn't it's seven or still get a GTX ten any before College no not seven very common misconception you're you when you go SLI you do not add the memory pools of both graphics cards together both graphics cards need to have whatever's necessary in the video memory assets for and textures and that kind of thing nice of it and both so you still have effectively 3.5 gigs in each card yeah seven combines toll right so yeah that's that's our same VRAM is might be short there with nine 70s in SLI especially if you're looking at high resolutions in 1080 or 1440 right the vram isn't quite cooled as simply as you might think it is jujubee's for the thirteen dollars and thirty seven leet buddy sorry been a while your talk show comes on right as I get off of work and didn't transit recommend recommendations for a 10 keyless under a hundred bucks I like the color master master keys series under owner bucks nowadays I'm not sure if it's under hundred bucks probably depends on the version that you get but ten keyless yeah this is what you said specifically right and the ten keyless are typically less expensive so right I take a look at that beyond that I'm sure you might be able to find like a ducky keyboard that's ten keyless yeah those are pretty well received amongst the mechanical community and for me it comes down more it's like what what types of switches you like best seasons and then what various options you can find that switch implemented on to an actual keyboard force but yeah I mean keyboards if there's any benefits that how many actual keyboard manufacturers there are its there's lots of options right Zachary Hummel ten bucks do y'all want some shiner I love shiny what's Jenny Shaner buck Oh shiny Bach yes of course why not I believe I believe that's what he's talking about yeah she's good yeah say what some shiner can't get it over here in the states or at least in the gallery he did another ten dollars and asked that same question again and there is the same yes double shiner give us twice the shiner mr.singh yard five dollars with Google's quality control issues would you say the higher SPECT razor phone with a four hundred gigabyte microSD is a better option mr. senior I can't say that I haven't checked because I haven't physically handled that phone but it has any gaming it has been getting very good feedback from what I've understood it's a very good feedback but also from reviews that seem to be at the Razr HQ or at least closely associated with the brand new maybe indicating that the videos were possibly sponsored or potentially paid for I don't know it seems like a lot of the Razr phone coverage seems from right there was some for mark Romo looked like there was some marketing money behind it for Marquez uh I mean I'm not calling out anyone specifically but I don't think all of the creators that posted a review on that phone were sponsored but I definitely feel like cuz Marquez I follow him on Twitter and I mean Marquez always does really fair reviews yes that's why I'm saying him speaking positively of the razor phone which I feel like I saw once or twice I'm still like hold as a reviewer myself though I still feel like I need to have the phone in my own hands to give my own two cents on it like ya where I'm just like buy this phone or buy this product because this reviewer said it was good I just I just know too much about things in order like like as well because I'm not seeing any of his no no he definitely did a razor phone video I saw it I watched it and it was really good and I he's if I'm if I'm interested in a phone mkbhd is the only person I go to really he's like he's the he's my go-to guy he's probably not the only guy but he's my like the first choice so I don't doubt that the razor phones good at all in fact I've been wanting to do some sort of content piece on it but I just feel like I don't know I don't know I don't know it's weird it's weird yes razor for a lot of the content around it I felt like seemed a little it seemed like everyone was saying the same thing a hundred and up on the phone one hundred and two thousand thumbs ups normal insane alright that was a really great video yeah but anyway so yes feeling you chat I see is I see is no I would love to get my hands on that thing man tweet men it's it's one of those phones it's like even though I'm not into mobile gaming that might be the phone that gets me into mobile gaming no I'm saying yes and I'm saying I've also told myself I'm not gonna have more beer until you finish your happiness shit all right okay spy guy for 2015 bucks here's another few bucks cuz you guys are just awesome and thank you spy yes boat wanna blaze it Perry Ellis five bucks looking to upgrade my monitor to an Asus PG 340 Q or the SRX 34 which one do you recommend or would I be better waiting for the new 200 Hertz monitors I'm not particularly one to hold out for two hundred Hertz monitors because whereas I will gladly be like yeah the human human I can't see more than 60 frames per second that's BS right you definitely get something 100 Hertz or 144 oh yeah or 160 but the higher you go up there are Domitian diminishing marginal returns on that so I don't think you get a huge benefit out of waiting for 200 Hertz so I'd say plus how much graphical horsepower do you really have to have realistically to push 200 FPS that's true as well so yeah the PG 3 for 8 Q might be a good option for you I've been loving mine honestly I've been loving the PG 3 for 8 Q's and I've been enjoying my a 3 X 30 for you you really can't go wrong go with the one that looks the best because the end of the day they're gonna offer you about the same performance that's what I'm going to say alright $5 use this money to make a $5 PC that can run all games at 4k resolutely thank you so processing why
