oh we're live by the way cool - Butler it should be - both yes YouTube and the twitch welcome everybody I guess I'll just I'll just dive right in as we often do this is an awesome hardware episode 135 side B if you missed side a you can go ahead and check it out on Paul's channel that's youtube.com slash Paul's Hardware you can follow the link in the description below if you're watching on twitch then just stay where you are thanks for joining us and sticking with us this far this is a tech news show vaguely that we like to do every single Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. Pacific time and yeah you know you would like to have some fun drink some beer occasionally once in a while we'll have a potty mouth and then we'll swear so if you have little ones around if you have sensitive ears then you know just making me nervous watching you do that then that B be warned this is a show for worried about first for mature unmaterialistic clear why are you taking your time so much with that backcourt well this is so this is a fruit he truly truly this is strawberry beer and this is brought this is a present from Joe editor he edits for both of us and this is around Christmastime it's also gone to Vegas and back so I'm not sure if it's gonna be in good shape or not how do you make that look so easy just popped up I just don't I just don't know how you just did that cuz I mean when I try to do it well I don't really have to go to details Rob Eyrie it's very strawberry what is that is that the level we're at right now and it's very strong and saving that months ago that was my I was gonna save this show a shot save this channel alright cheers Cheers to to all of you thanks for thanks for being here tell free to drink along with us that's good yummy it's very strawberry tasty thanks Joe lambic dammit yes good stuff um uh you you guys should check out our stores we sell stuff it's a great way to support us and also get something in return as opposed just like a like or a comment or something like that we sell things like shirts glasses mugs mouse pads and and more yes this is the shirt that Kyle is wearing today this is this is the shirt I gave me everything mo it for you right now I get comments on this shirt all the times like hey is that you're like yeah it's me on the show like yeah I know that's your picture on it basically that's the response I get but you guys can wear it no consequence yeah no problems there and Paul Stewart is also great he's got plenty of stuff a lot of similar things but like with you know Paul Flair my logo to the kyles yes and if you guys order something from either of our stores will yell Johnson at you by the end of the show or double Johnson if you happen to get something from both of our sites but it's even doubly good and um yeah but that's pretty much it that's our intro that's that's what we got it's what we're working with so we couldn't let's just accept it move on let's just accept it what exactly so we can dive into our first segment sort of picking up where Paul left off with tech news we have no segment lower thirds no segment lower thirds Rita's the Ramseys bullet before the show it's total scramble today you have everyone should be happy that we're even streaming at all yeah but no Lord no lower thirds today I know you'll all forgive us because you're all kind of nice so let's talk about our first article here which is all sort of talked about this little bit net neutrality and how the fight to save net neutrality is not over just because sheet pie and all of his evil minions decided to you know deregulate net neutrality after all the good stuff that Tom wheeler had done former chairman of the FCC it doesn't mean that no neutrality is dead per se not yet anyway because apparently there have been let's see I guess you kinda have to understand how it all works if an independent agency like the FCC for example is what we're talking about here were to make a decision like fuck over net neutrality then the federal lawmakers senators and that sort of thing they still have 60 days to sort of stand up and say no that's bullshit to sort of overturn that decision before it actually goes through this is under the this is all falls under the Congressional review Act okay so this is sort of a good thing congressional review act is is good for anyone who doesn't want net neutrality to go away right now because it's gonna give us a fighting chance to to actually bring it back or to reinstate it so since last Tuesday about 40 senators signed on and said we don't want net neutrality to go away we want to keep it and then since then 10 more senators have signed on so we have a total of 50 I checked the math checks out that's half the Senators the math checks out that is half the Senators so Hyundai's a jumbo there's 100 we have half you know how many more we need to actually kill this a Jeep pie nonsense we need 1 we need we see one more senator and half the house and a non veto from show but hey I was getting I was getting two but it's something but it's something yes exactly so we not only do we need 51 senators to vote in favor of destroying what a Jeep I is trying to do we would also need that to go to the Republican majority house and also have it signed off by President Trump it sounds like a lot of longshot because it kind of is but anything is possible let's not lose hope here that's when that's when possibility dies is when you destroy hope also the one remaining vote would have to come I think your link is wrong is it yeah damn it say I'll see if I can fix it thing please continue um the one remaining vote that we would need is gonna have to come from a from a Republican because all all all the Democrats are already in full support of net neutrality and we've actually got you know a handful a handful of Republicans on board so we would just need one more Republican to vote in favor of net neutrality and then what are we doing the raid looks like there's a raid going on I think Jerry I got Jerry god damn it Jerry Jerry rated always putting your poop naps and people's business I don't know if that means but it probably makes sense in some some context hello jerry a Muir's jerry viewers without me guess we I like getting rated once in a while yeah makes us feel makes me feel miss sexy sexy hell yeah can read my body can feel the hand it's like I can physically feel the hands of each Raider like rubbing us all over the hashtag me too that's what I get alright anyway so yeah it's it's a long shot but we're still in the fight the the first lawsuit to challenge is eat pies decision could come as early by the end of this month and then at that point you know with a vote on the congressional review act we could potentially take that take place I can potentially take place this summer pending delays with the Congress whatever they have on their schedule so yeah this is all to say that don't lose faith people we could still make the internet a free and open Internet people are all freaking out you know Lizzie Pye did this and now Nitin Crowley's dead not yet it's looking like it kind of might be but but not yet there's still a little bit of hope the last hope um let's move on though we got a lot of stuff to cover here okay just I'm gonna really go over this really quickly because Paul already sort of touched on on his half but just to reiterate that GPU prices are absolutely insane right now and this is an article from WCCO f Tech and there's there's a couple reasons why a couple of things that we could attribute to these insane inflated prices just to briefly go over the mining performance of these cards of the cards that are affected are pretty good and we'll expand on that a little bit in sec lack of competition and memory supply so it's interesting that the Vegas 64 from AMD and the GTX 1080i from Nvidia have both increased in pricing tenfold like an insane amount but for different reasons there's some overlap there but it's kind of interesting how they point this out so the Vegas 64 just to put things perspective MSRP is $500 all right and then it was probably around six seven eight hundred dollars by the end of the year now it's up to about 2100 depending on where you look which is crazy and so the reason why they're the reasons that WCC F Tech is giving for wide vague of 64 specifically this is live live prices on new Ygritte now and I'm not kidding this is not an exaggeration this is two thousand dollars for one Vegas 64 card where is the frontier edition look a 6-pack of frontier edition okay just get my mining kit just when do I start selling six packs of frontier editions it's an 8 it's probably a new exam I'll take it it's probably a third party seller who's selling or that yeah some do you shop malls you shop mall is selling this you get their feedback back reading that's very solid I want to buy this just based on the feedback ratings so Vegas 64 is a outstanding mining card right now at $800 when it was selling back for $800 late last year you could probably mine and break even according to the article in about four months you can break even in about four months four months just leave it 20 leave it on 24/7 not doing shit you make your money back in about four months that's not bad but now a 22,000 - $2,100 it would take you over a year and a half roughly to make your money back on buying one card so this is definitely I'm definitely gonna be a blow for a lot of minors but the hell do we care they're minors and the 1080i has no competing card at the moment I mean you could argue Vega 56 kinda kinda is that is the closest thing AMD really has to it but you can hardly find a Vega 64 card anyway the ones you can are obviously way overpriced look you can get a GTX 1080 gaming box for 700 bucks right now everyone should buy this and one buy this right now wait that's just the box it's the box and there's a 1080 inside oh there's a 1080 oh well that's not bad usually ships in three to five days that's actually not bad everyone by this cheaper than what $0.10 looks you're going stock its undoing buy it in mind stuff that's cheaper than what 10 70s are going for right now and you get a box for it that's doable within seventies so there's a hike in memory prices as well due to the mining craze hardware and box did a really good video that they unleashed Unleashed released earlier this week about why it's a bad time to buy or build your own system and memory prices was like their part one video they go and they do a deeper dive into all of that you should go check it out since it derived so when I found my new leg yeah I like to click this new egg only a radio button because I hate the marketplace I hate it they're terrible people everyone who works in the marketplace I hate you know are they also the new egg marketplace is selling 10 70s for 900 bucks each right now starting the only one that's in stock is eight hundred and ninety dollars that's so insane there's a one in stock for a thousand that's so ludicrous attend 70s Ludacris even the one on the box is going for 150 bucks over MSRP now definitely get this gtx 1070 it comes with a gaming box and it's three hundred to three hundred dollars cheaper oh yeah than any of the other competing ten 70s I don't know why you wouldn't just buy this maybe that's probably sold out when I click up it's not a mini looks like a mini that's probably the mini yeah oh it's cute but it's perfectly it's still tense energy the gigabyte makes one of the best Mon many high-end cards right now likewise otac why why would you buy one of these $900 cards when he can get this this box we're almost half the price yeah yeah that's nuts but yeah so crazy so anyway MSRP suggestions they're all dead it seems like pricing for GPUs and memory and and and more computer hardware is just more and more reliant and dependent on the market trends and this market equilibrium when it comes to mining and memory supply and demand MSR peas are just they're dead just crazy it wasn't like this at least for at least for certain things like SSDs obviously is aren't affected by any of this really but Jesus the most expensive part arguably the most expensive part in your system it just got way more expensive so maybe maybe hold off on on building a system for now um Intel speaking of GPUs Intel's pairing their own discrete GPUs believe it or not for Gen 12 and Gen 13 this is you know gen 12 and 13 CPUs their core CPUs these are codenamed Arctic sound and Jupiter sound I think they're biting off of your Arctic Panther a little bit they are they're like we can't call it our Panther but what happens every time he says Arctic Panther there's an Arctic sound that plays right after let's let's see if this fits with Intel's code name scheme which means it has to be on a map so Arctic sound Arctic sound is a popular city in Las Vegas Nevada so late last year love you guys know Intel snatched up Roger Kaduri which was the now the ex senior VP and chief architect of AMD and they're like a rather it helped us develop some sand graphic solutions because we suck at it and writers like so we can do it and then now they're gonna they're planning to release some GPU integrated and discrete GPU solutions in the next few years with the help of Rajah Ashraf esse from The Motley Fool posted some code names that's where we got Arctic salmon and Jupiter sound as Intel's this develop business they are cheap solutions that's it yeah Arctic sound it's Canada up there in Nunavut it's in Canada yeah I feel betrayed why are they ever go to Canada this is it right here it was just a life you want the true authentic Arctic sound if there's a lake this is where you know it's a sound no that's impossible this is not a lake it's part of the Arctic Ocean and this is the sound because there's what sound does the Arctic Ocean make how is it different than any other ocean it makes the Arctic sound why don't you just call it ocean sound water sound because doesn't sound cool marketing tag marketing um so yeah we're not gonna see these for a long time guys don't get excited right now because this is 12th and 13th June we're talking about I mean we're not even on 10th June yet which is gonna be caught canon late right that still ways out so found Jupiter sound maybe oh boy that's in Florida jupiter sound also an ocean what no it's not it's part of the ocean it's a sound see no it's a sound as a body of water let me let me see if she's contiguous with the ocean but separated by individual let me see let me see your street view of this sound this is street view yeah I want to see a street view of this sound let's take a look let's see what the sound looks like oh look at that ah it's a bunch of mangroves what the hell wow oh wow it's like we don't even need a visit here native any different plants I thought was gonna say native and exotic sounds where the sounds why are they talking about plants the Jupiter sends jupiter sound is right next to it this is obviously a nice trail here's a terrible terrible park whatever it is they don't have their priorities straight there's Jupiter's sound right next to you you're talking about plants it's Florida I'm triggered okay anyway anyway we don't really know anything about these these these graphic solutions other than their code names and that they'll be connecting at least Arctic's and sound will connect to the CPUs via EMI B which has intel's embedded multi interconnect bridge which accuse us in to believe that we're gonna see a similar solution as the 8th gen CPUs that are paired with vega graphics that'll sort of be the same solution that's built on to these new graphic solutions so you know is that is that what it's gonna take for GPU discrete GPU prices to finally drop is that intel has to make a discrete GPU or that even look like it's world coming to I mean it would just look like any other GPU cuz at the end of the day to add board partnership with your player on it I probably a sculpture out of the sculpture a little skull on it bring back the school anytime Intel does something and they're like wow this is actually cool let's put sculptural look oh yeah schools are still cool because we're still living in the 90s look a minute look at sculpture our marketing team still still mid-90s still listens to corn and Slipknot he's hit he knows the lingo corn I like corn to corner the cops best motherboard manufacturers let's move on to our next story are addressing the specter and meltdown exploits with BIOS updates as Paul sort of mentioned on his half this is an article from hot hardware just want to let you guys know that there are resources out there links from gigabyte MSI and aces have just released all these firmware updates for a ton of buy the board models that offer further protection and sort of mitigate meltdown inspector issues asus there's a link on the Asus website to over a hundred motherboard models and their latest BIOS ease so you can cross-reference that with the whatever the latest BIOS update available in the support section of your motherboards product page just to make sure that you're all up to date and covered gigabyte has a link that they've and they've also said that they'll continue rolling out more updates over the next few weeks as iterations to the protections come out and then MSI has a link as well so that you know you can pretty much make sure that you have all the latest protections and BIOS updates there's no patch in sight as I mentioned earlier on Paul's half for platforms like z97 and beyond or older which is kind of a bummer so if you know that's what Devil's Canyon fear if you have a devil's canyon by your computer three years ago why should they support you at all actually three years ago was a great time to buy PC right as opposed to now anyone who buys amazing now is is the one who needs questioning more like four years ago and perhaps yeah I didn't there perhaps you got z170 updates though c17 he's all good just once you get to that those double digits your yeah yes so well um so yeah just a little bit of tidbit of information there let's talk about our next story here Chinese police the Chinese police sorry I'm gonna get some shit for that arrest they arrested 120 pub G cheap makers Hey with the help of $0.10 damn straight 50 cents you brother no no that's not right Tencent is is a is a a Chinese multinational investment holdings conglomerate and I'm going to pretend like I know what that means but they they have their hand in a lot of different companies and and you know entertainment AI and stuff they're a multi-billion dollar revenue type of company Tencent owns Weibo and yeah we both yeah yep and they own Epic Games and stuff so they are doing shit they're actually banning or arresting these cheap makers because it's a huge issue for the game itself China and pub G have an interesting relationship already because China a few months back if you guys remember was saying we don't even want this and we want to do a perma ban on this game because it violates our socialistic core values is what China said and then $0.10 kind of partnered up with with the pub G Corp to sort of be like well we kind of want this game to be to exist we don't want to get permabanned let's let's help you out here well we'll try to make a modified version of the game to you know bail socialist and stuff it'll be great and then we'll also like work on getting rid of the cheaters because that's also a huge issue that's driving a lot of people away from this game and you know making them flock to other alternatives because there's a lot there are a lot of copycats out now for this type of game so they've actually arrested 120 people who are suspected of designing cheat software for the game specifically which is good it's a good start they're still like cheating in the game though still runs rampant there there's right now there's tons of cheating going on which explains why I get killed all the time it's not because I'm bad at the game people's people are cheating that's the only way they could possibly kill me and you know and people are sneaky these these players these cheaters these cheaters are recruiting and higher career like they're they're recruiting other cheaters they're basically using the in games leaderboards to advertise their cheat software so if you're a cheat developer let's say you develop this really cool cheat software for that for punji and then obviously you get on the top of the leaderboard right because you're cheating and then you're you change your gamertag your username to um something like call or contact QQ for eight nine three six five and that that that string of numbers is actually a private QQ number which you know obviously for for ten cents QQ messaging service that a lot of people in China use it's sort of like a private number that you can call or contact online to download or buy purchase that cheat software sheets software it varies how much it costs but you know one report was saying it's anywhere from ten to fourteen ten to fourteen great British pounds so it's not a lot but I mean if thousands of thousands of people are doing this this could be a multi know into the hundreds of thousands of of dollars maybe even Millions considering how many people play this game so ten cent is hoping to reduce the number of cheaters obviously to protect the game itself and to keep people from flocking I heard in an article recently actually today that fortnight is now the biggest battle royale game in the world I don't know if it I think it might have surpassed pub G even even if it's for a short period of time two million concurrent players forty million downloads absolutely insane I feel like a lot of that is probably attributed to the fact that there are so many cheaters in pub G doesn't make the game fun I have a certain point people just say you know fingers up and I'm out but I mean it's got a larger development team it's made to be a little bit more accessible in some ways than dub G so it's a bit more casual friendly from what I understand I've only played it like once or twice but seems fun yeah I like what art style and the fact that you can build buildings and stuff it sets it apart a little bit more but that's it for tech news the the hard hit hidden hitting articles that we're talking about today we still have some hot and heavy hardware coming up but for now let's just sump in my BC IVC come up I see where you guys send in pictures of your rigs and Paul and I talk about him and tell you what to do with it and tell you everything that's wrong yep basically you can count on us to to be honest with you all your friends probably come to your house and say oh that build looks great great those like your friends nope it's only the guy who comes in to like nothing sucks they're lying to you rebuilding destroy now all right Jacob r7 Verizon 7 1700 crosshair 6 hero crackin X 62 cable mod cables LTTE knocked to a fan Strix 1080 all in a Corsair air 540 why does it look like this weathering in this picture great it looks like this copper the Lighting's like a copper find the orange lighting spray that when I crossed there just orange light but there's orange lights in this one too it doesn't go Capri it's just a white balance white balance okay initially get a real nice color scheme the the the fans are matching them all with the motherboard and the memory and the cable extensions the cable extensions are a little not quite as clean as they could be it's interesting cuz you have some combs going on here but it's just it's not quite lining up the way I'd like it to yeah I'd like to see a little bit a little bit more cable coming this going on with your 24 pin and your 8 8 + 4 pin up here as well maybe just to just clean up clean up a little bit I mean those are their custom sleeve cables this is the type of thing you don't notice if it's just the standard cables that came with your power supply when you get custom sleeve cables though it's more noticeable when they're actually not as tidy beyond that you got a couple of power supplies I'm sorry a couple of hard drives at the bottom and you know that's fine they stand out a little bit to me though that you've got a red and a green label on the red and green WD and hard drives just in general or just ugly I don't think they're inherently ugly but yeah I think it would be like what if you did them like a matte black paint over just over the top of them that mean it'd be fine see like you can you could fix him up then they wouldn't be ugly it's just like how Chrome they are and just like the weird shape like make them look sleek just make it look like an SSD mm-hmm just put like this like make the frame actually straight and angular and a little bit more modern I feel like I feel like hard drives are but like they came out they been around for so long that they came out they've existed long before the the sexy trend yeah right like let's make everything in a PC look sexy and so they're just like brother like the 80 year old guy that's at the the college party that just hasn't gotten the memo like whoo are we were supposed to wear RGB clothes for yeah it's like I'm getting to yeah finally um your tubing for your your Kraken X 62 here it's just I feel like it could be a more pleasant even even arc you know from where it from the origin to the destination here it's gonna serve a little a little wobble in there plus that's drooping you got some droop egde and it's actually touching the top of your graphics card and I feel like that's a it's a bit of a no-no there so yeah very nice clean build over all those there's some things that can be done here though that would really really make it make it shine I concur yes next we've got sir - can sir - Kane - Kane sane all right I was his 1080i for the win 3-3 850 pros and 5820k the nice use deluxe alright sweet there's the whole setup there looking pretty clean and to evolve into evolved case yeah alright here I wanna see so similar to the last build we just looked at here is a situation where you have some nice sleeved cables and the fact that they're not perfect they're not they're not all clean and and like trained and everything with some combs and there's something that's standing out the most to me yeah training those up a little bit making sure you get you get a nice smooth arc with that crossover of the cables and that kind of thing right is is what I think would stands out to me the most here and I feel like it's nearly impossible sometimes when you get it sleeved excuse me sleeved extensions that aren't professionally made or whatever they kind of come like they already ship sort of bent out of shape sometimes yeah and it can be it can be impossible to train them some extensions are just impossible to get that really nice show floor look and feel so if that's what you're craving go with someone like unsourced or mainframe customs or or some other independent you know third party place that does it all by hand or you know the cable nod Pro Series cables that that recently came out they're actually really nice too yeah that nice clean look very straight beyond that you gotta mostly like silver black white maybe blue LED look going here I don't know what you can do about your debug LED but that stands out to me is clashing with the other LEDs on the on the case maybe or maybe maybe you can disable that maybe not it's an asus board so maybe you can't and then the RM on the power supply and the blue or the orange square on the SSD mmm also don't quite match those are my really fairly minor though that's pre painted white that we're yeah maybe getting all this white would make things match up a bit though but yeah again really really solid build overall yeah that's great so yeah good job thanks you search you can mix and we got jammie jammie-jammie with the crosshair six hero Wi-Fi Verizon 1700 overclocked to 3.8 gigahertz and asus rog Strix gtx 1066 gigabyte model those go for a lot now g-scale tried an RGB 16 gigs of 3200 speed samsung lasers and a fractal focus g okay first off I really like your component choices when it comes to rebalance your overclocked processor and Metal Slug graphics card definitely standing out the most in here just looking at your list here is gonna be your raid max power supply I'm not specifically familiar with the RS 530 SS but raid max in my experience not necessarily high-end when it comes to paralyze is your chalk on the house and what is this is some weird writing on it here so new raid max angle and also your cabling isn't doing any favors here so I would say a power supply upgrade would be definitely in the cards for this system nobody looks a lot maybe something with with all black cabling to clean things up a little bit more you'd have a lot of cable management space here in the case either so here's also wear like a modular power supply it would help you out a little bit because you wouldn't have quite as much of a clump of cables down there at the bottom beyond that you got optical drives I don't you remove them cuz I feel like if they're there you're probably using them to some degree but maybe masking them or putting black spray-paint or black tape around the outside or something like that might might make those blend in a little bit more yeah and then finally you've got some mismatched fans so I'm not a fan of the blue LED fans you got in the front here I'd rather they were just all white and black like your rear exhaust fan or just something a little bit more consistent yeah maybe maybe red that would go at the red black scheme with the rest of your system uniform fans are great yeah again really saw the choices here when it comes to your internal components and everything but really Paris black new Paris play yep that's what we're looking for Jamie thanks Jamie - - if that's for the yours core i5 6600 K and Noctua L 965 asus rog Strix z - 7 TI 16 gigs of Kingston HyperX fury at 2400 and we have an N case M upon the Corsair SF 600 power supply and not too advanced cool in case m1 that's a very very tiny compact case very small and looks like you've got plenty of airflow going through it's definitely for your GPU there I love that cooler nice interesting that you've got the rear fan actually is an intake may be used to help out on your CPU a bit since you're not really getting much airflow from the front of your case at all and your GP is probably eaten up all of the intakes that it's getting from the bottom of the case yeah makes sense cable management for for this case considering the case is very nice um definitely helps to have that modular sfx unit it looks like there's a lot of open area yeah yeah um I mean honestly like I think just for me like I don't particularly like the look of the traditional Noctua fans they're brown and tan which is a very odd color combination I'll never really understand why they went that route but um you know if you're happy with a shirt I would personally probably get some black ones or spray paint them black that I'd be kind of a fun project because you have so many of them in your case I'm just sort of like you know take the blade off and masks come off of tape and just sort of go to town with some some nice paint it's not to be black I mean it could be any color besides brown and tan and it would probably look better than it does IMO there's a sticker on your to be like a fan cable it's probably enough to a not to a fan cable thank you on of the just above your GPU resistors that they include said lowered the fan speed could be that um don't like it remove the sticker if you can and yeah I mean it's a really tiny case there's not much else to really grabbed about here but overall looks really nice yeah oh yeah there's a top-down view - I agree this there's not much to be said here part from you know changing the color of the fans but when you have all Noctua fans like that they're really nice fans so yeah yeah that may or may not be worth your while but really nice build there yeah alright simply silicon has FX 8350 billable to 1080 ti-83 50 and a 1080i 16 gigs random 650 watt press but any hard drives to us as much all right now some serious bottlenecking yeah you're definitely not getting all the performance possible out of your 1080i since these pair was then 8350 this would be a very very solid potential upgrade to Rison horizon 2 in your future that's what I'm seeing for you and his GPU changes it's a wind force in a lot of the pictures and then it's something completely different in the good quality picture alright so the 1080 TI apparently is new was added to this builds because it looks like there's a wind force in older pictures that is probably not at any what's gained 18 he's been a pallet or I don't know I'm not sure hard to say not not a side label that I'm familiar with there because like employers my occurrence you yeah that's what I'm saying maybe maybe palette or something like that um alright your cable management's leaves a lot to be desired you've got a lot of cables kind of wrapped around your your tubing for your clothes look cooler up here which just doesn't look that good I guess I'd rather that then they were just out and loose because slightly better airflow I suppose but really getting rid of those and tightening them up around tucking them away wherever you can would be a good idea your power supply has the ketchup and mustard cables which we often frown upon here so some extensions might might solve your issues they're also just generally speaking you've got a lot of cable out here and about like try to plug in your plug and then route the cable to the nearest cable routing area and then you know you want minimal cable yeah actually pick up the slack quite literally grab the slack and bring it back underneath the power supply shroud or back behind the motherboard tray or anything like that that will help tidy things up a lot or other than that though I mean everything looks pretty decent far as a color scheme I don't even mind your RGB lights when they're on and on display here because everything else is pretty much black so you know it doesn't look too terrible but yeah it just needs some cable management redone and I would say definitely consider a core upgrade to your CPU motherboard memory because that 1080i it can do it can do more for you than what it is doing now yeah that's been confirmed many times most def and you're very lucky that CPU pricing is really really good right yeah you've already got the finitude CI so you've already got the most expensive part that everyone's getting realize that the CPU should be a piece of cake yeah all right I think that's the last one yep that's it so thank you all for submitting stuff to pay my PC we'll be back again next week or the week after that let's move on to hot and heavy hardware I'm here for last segment for today cherry announced some some sweet switches their new MX low profile or GB key switches this is an article from hexxus dotnet I didn't have a chance to stop by the cherry sweet or booth at CES I believe that they were showing off these new switches there so so it's new to me this is news to me I was able to test these at the cooler master suite I did yes I did Lisa : and clicked it and they feel good its clicky they feel good overall the switch height has been reduced by about a third going from about eighteen point five millilitres to just eleven point nine with the low-profile switches the width and depth have also been reduced slightly not quite as much cherry says these new switches will offer the same perfect operation feeling that Cherry's conventional switches have already established as a gold standard on the market so yeah they're saying no no compromises here other than you're just getting a more low-profile more compact switch there we're only talking about all the information I'm about to give you right now is only talking about the low profile red switches other colors will be coming out later but this is all pertaining to the red switches actuation force and actuation point are nearly the same as their conventional switches the key travel the amount of distance that the key goes down before it bottoms out has been reduced from 4.0 millimetres to 3.2 50 million keystrokes with no loss in quality I still get an MX stem so you could replace you know swapped out for your own custom key caps and things like that custom key cap sets cherry says one additional benefit here is you actually had a shorter bounce time for higher switching frequencies so basically the amount of time that the switch takes to go back up from when it's bottomed out has been reduced so if you want to like mash something really quickly potentially do it a lot faster on one of these low profile switches so that's kind of cool gamers who are really into pressing keys fast will benefit most probably and while this is gonna be yeah this is actually nice because it's gonna be good for laptops right we're actually gonna be able to get gaming laptops that have mechanical switches in them that don't force you to have really thick bodies because like companies like msi and a couple others have made gaming keyboards with the mechanical keyboards in them we can't gaming laptops with the chemical keyboards but they're super thick because they're actually full-size MX switches whereas now you'll probably get to get something like a little bit more like Chiclets style it's a bit more low-profile maybe not quite then but definitely thinner than the regular switches and that'll be nice we'll still get the nice I'll feel which is great but screw laptops why not just get a full desktop size keyboard with these low profile switches as well which is why we're also going to talk about duckies new keyboard that they've been teasing which is their blade err mechanical keyboard using these seeming seemingly using the the MX low-profile red switches that we just talked about thin it is super thin sexy has RGB lighting obviously 20 to 22 millimeters thick with with both USB type-c and bluetooth connectivity ah that's kind of cool I think the Bluetooth really factors into the whole portability aspect right if you wanted to take this on the go with you to a land party or something like that a friend's house it's slim lighter than a conventional keyboard and you also don't have to bring a cable along with you which is great yeah and if you just wanted zero absolute little as little as little late latency as possible I really like this trend of going to to type-c USB type-c I think that's great like actually I like having the option because blue Bluetooth isn't gonna be as responsive exactly or something like that great it's not ideal if you're grabbing it to take and you know you have a laptop you wanna do some work on the go or something or you you know that that that makes more sense yeah but having the option like oh exactly I want to play some games plug in the USB cord yep go ahead again yeah that's cool it's also nice as a fail-safe right it's like you plan to use Bluetooth and I don't know you your friends computer doesn't have bluetooth after all at least you can still wire it up or vice versa you forgot your USB cable are your friends to you here is like some knockoff and has a green green tooth or something Mac Mac in their green tooth county so double Schottky caps more resistant to wear and tear than they're painted laser etched counterparts with more back light shining through or clearly it's got a ten keyless design also furthering the portability feature and yeah that's pretty much it no no pricing or availability for now but it sounds cool moving on crucial is starting to ship their full MX 500s SD line this actually happened while we were at CES I didn't I don't even know if crucial had a sweet or a booth there but they did release their one terabyte model from this line before CES as kind of like a way to sort of like promote and sort of generate buzz around the new line of of SSDs their AMX 500 series but during CES they actually rolled out their 500 gig 250 501 I'm sorry two terabyte models but those are all two and a half inch form factor they also have MDOT two variants but those only go up to one terabyte so if you're looking for a 2 terabyte m2m X 500 doesn't exist only it goes up to one terabyte there but you know the one terabyte model was tested by Tom's hardware which is where we have the article from here and it was proven to be quite quite a good performer actually it actually had the highest four kilobyte kilobyte random read performance at qf one that the company that the journalist has ever tested over a SATA bus which is pretty impressive especially when you consider that it's only two hundred fifty nine dollars for a one terabyte SSD it's actually really good that's like a Black Friday deal but it's just it's just the regular deal or it's like a regular deal a year ago all right exactly so true and it's featuring the new micron 64 layer three dean and so you get vertically stacked NAND very efficient $80 for the 250 gig model that's too cheap as well 140 for the 500 gig and even the 2 terabyte is still reasonable at $500 so I know like the MX 200 and 300 and stuff they were also very cheap but there were some some gripes about the performance here it seems like crucial has sort of fixed some of those issues and now we're getting a pretty decently priced and performing drive that is one of the few competitors to the everlasting 850 Evo from Samsung that's just been like the tried-and-true go to sort of budget oriented but really reliable and decently fast SSD you've got options you can go DMX 510 always saying also saying that the the WD blue 3d SSD is is a contender in that in that tier so good good to have options nice to see that while GPUs and memory are failing at least some some of your parts in your piece you're doing well and the pricing and performance Department price to perform only can make in GPU out of and this GP runs unnamed and then and then SSDs become expensive um last article here for hot and heavy hardware I actually talked about this in a CES video didn't give any views though because you know event coverage and stuff but I thought it was one of the coolest things that I saw actually because I'm a portable freak I love things that are smaller form factor than they should be and it's also a lot of Technology built into it this is a AC uses 4k OLED HDR supported PQ 22 you see display article originally it's Ramanan in tech and the display itself is 21 point 6 inches so it's not going to be a daily driver it's not something that you're going to use 24/7 at home you're probably gonna want something bigger but if you're on the go whether your workstation professional working professional with like 3d CAD whatever or color correction and he'll that involves color because this thing has an amazing color gamut coverage covering 99% of the DCI p3 color space and HDR 10 support so it's got a very wide cast very wide area with one point zero seven billion display colors the panel itself if you were wondering the actual panel is by Joe LED which I just heard for the first time at CES which is a joint venture between Sony and Panasonic oh and they have pretty good panels okay I mean at least Sony know Sony has some really good displays and stuff their TVs are great Panasonic I guess supposedly as well but Joe Lloyd is is a new a new panel maker that we should be aware of now so that's that's interesting the panel itself is 60 Hertz with a point one millisecond response time very good that's super fast and as I mentioned it's super portable so the case itself the care case can act as a stand or you can buy the hard stand that you see here in the picture which also gives you some a little bit of height and some tilt functionality or adjustment USB type-c and micro HDMI can be found on on the side doesn't hurt it doesn't send what to stand there it does not come with a stand it's sold separately that's right and we're not sure how much that's gonna cost nor are we sure how much the monitors gonna cost I I'm estimating around a grand for something like this portable monitors in general like high performance portable monitors are expensive I have a 15 inch IPS display that's like nothing fancy it's just a 15 inch IPS you know six milliseconds response time and it was like three hundred and fifty dollars from like a not super super well-known brand G chic but it had like it was the only moderate I could find that was 1920 by 1080 IPS that size and had a actually had a micro HDMI out as opposed to just micro USB or something like that so they're not cheap these portable displays you you end up paying quite a bit for that for being able to squeeze all that technology into a small form-factor but I'll be sure to keep my eyes out for that I think it might be cool to try gaming on it to just see what that's like really response times good yeah exactly response time and you know 60 60 Hertz isn't amazing it's not the cream of the crop but it is it's 4k OLED it should you're 10 come on I'm happy to see OLED yeah definitely being more they're not just a prototype yeah so that's gonna conclude it for my articles we can go ahead and dive into some of your doom nations new juicy bastards let's start off with Fred rant with the $20 Fred I still think the pie in the face was better than the cork the cork is mightier than the pie as some wise man never said who knows New Year wonder what I have planned for you this year Kyle do you have like a very easy this Fred has like a saw vibe going on right yeah like I saw like I'm like I want to play a game like fuck you know I care how much you donate I don't want anymore pies in the place last time last time that happened and why see sauce threw a pie in my face blueberries got all over the floor for a brand new studio and now those blueberries teens will never come out thanks a lot Fred you know what you know what you know how much you know how she's gonna cost to remove those blueberry stains more than $100 you donated for that prank to be pulled so yeah she's saying Fred owes you money gotta up your ante that's it but there was one left over from my half by Joe Tom louia as 250 of some currency I'm one gigabit per second for 300 gigabytes for thirty one dollars per month he's from India all those rubies rupees yeah that's pretty good hell yeah I'm just gonna fight and I don't like if you have a cap though gigabit per second oh that's great and everything but you have tap it and then that sucks that's true yeah at least a bit neutrality that's true and it's pretty Derrick boon $5.00 did you check out the BMW booth at CES if so did you do the drifting no and no no no I'm not good enough with cars and we were invited to the BMW booth I don't know I don't know if you have to be over a million subscribers or you have to be in with the I don't know there's that level of tech youtuber where you start to get invited to the the things outside of necessarily yes usually it's like the biggest companies like Samsung events and like car events and stuff like that yeah but I don't care about that stuff I don't even want to go yeah it's just stupid it's very much stupid let me invite it don't be like $5 oh my god you're hearing me I would see us you too Jerry everyone is live now saw Kyle and some remixes yesterday have to catch the first half later CES was a whirlwind pretty quick chaos

drink much at all I drink so much more it has to see it fmz getting old gonna go drinking and I'm gonna party like no I want to edit yeah editing sounds good didn't get work done yeah Kyle Smith Neal Smith name five dollars thank you thank you guys for being the best love the show what's your favorite Sierra Nevada beer xoxo from Chico Council with you to Pale Ales solid paleo or the idea that torpedos pretty good too yeah always a good a good go-to yes hearing about is good press performance there automatic Matt five dollars come on Paul please finish the htpc before I graduate AIT and may I'm hoping that graphics cards prices go back to normal soon - please PC overlords yeah we all do and Paul will die by may I should be able to make some progress hi May yeah that's the keyword being made it's good well I may make some progress yeah I get more and more aggressive every time I read one of those comments by Darwin those were the New Year Fitness resolution get to it I started 2017 with a 135 pounds squat an interview with a 275 pounds asked to grass squat just do it what's that mean ass to grass means you smoke when you smoke a joint that's being held in place by someone's butt butthole nice ass to grass gotta be strong or you're smoking the joint through your butt through your chocolate star by the way it's impressive it requires a lot of core strength I do man good job TV thanks graduations I know cheapen I like squats Dennis show dollars I dare you to give away any / all of the obviously unused GPUs over Paul's head to current live viewers no cuz then what will I put there I at least have the decency to put only like dead and really outdated GPUs in my back spin-orbit well what else are you gonna do with him and they dead just dark and disturbing dead no one watch Balaji gonna put them on display that's what I hope happens tonight that you know better than Logan pulse my body they're looking Paul exposing dead GPS your videos for beers clearly for views harsh uh dingo on my 40 dingo 5 dolla love awesome hardware lots of emojis I like I like the capital if you count as emojis are the would those be emoticons emoticons sure I don't I don't know the difference bro I like them though they say I'm posting his emoji or emoticon of a cat they can't win I was pretty cool ok that's cool like yay cats Joe Jenko with the $10 donation he says he's from he's from Jupiter Florida the Jupiter is not the Jupiter sound is not a thing sorry Paul Wow you know old you know Joe I feel bad for you you're so ignorant of your own local geography but Google Maps knows better than I would I would I would postulate that if you go to Google Maps and you type in Jupiter sound as I just did you get sound tree entertainment sound tree which is in st. Jupiter Florida it sounds like but Jupiter sound floor it so you got type Jupiter sound and then the little drop-down Cupid to sound Florida and it points right at this body of water where the Indian River empties apparently into the Atlantic Ocean he's lying there's nothing there it's just it's just lying inside of Jupiter Island blank white screen on his laptop I just mean heck Lake he's all dissolved gibberish he's making shit up so the Indian River becomes the Jupiter sound and these were actually watching porn night Joe I I'm glad that you've learned some file out about wave born it's not at all true that's completely false I it's kind of look at it kind of softcore hey Austin girl ski with a $5 donation says welcome back my Tuesdays are complete again bars are too complete also may or may not have watched ten minutes of site a before figuring out it wasn't life that that also happens from time to time it's so we're so in the moments we lied to you it's difficult to tell you get interesting Juan Guerrero I don't think this is JJ this is a another one Guerrero with the $20 donation enjoying the stream while gaming I did I did tweet Kyle my handle is horn Kazama so Kyle you have to go playing video games with with one now that next time I play video games would not be for another tweeted your handle a couple weeks alright thanks for it's a day appreciate that donation thank you we know Sal do see some loot Cellucci five dollars I would like to buy five dollars worth of bit Juan please seriously though I feel like I made a mistake when I bought my mastercase pro six what do you think why would you say that yeah person 806 oh well you might have miss out it sells sells got a mastercase pro six didn't aren't they dropping the price for it possibly I mean you gotta you gotta look at it this way they're always gonna be new products arrow is gonna be updated products that come out that ya might modify things or ship things or make things slightly better so ya figure when you get a case like this it's gonna last you two to five years depending on how frequently upgrade and that's perfectly fine and it's a solid case so don't be upset about it owning yeah own it man freakin own it and I meant hit up sell cuz he's got one of those two you guys can make the club yeah and mastercase pro six Club fires were great clothes no I'm just kidding evocative productions $10 donation he says donation one all I was hoping to run into guys at CES would have made an otherwise boring CES more interesting wanted to invite you guys out to the range to literally shoot the shit I've been to the shooting range in Vegas last time I was there that's shot some guns that was entertaining sorry we missed you at sea I seem to have missed a lot of people at CES but I never went to the show floor and yeah it was a shorter trip for me than usual so I didn't see quite as much but hopefully next time and if we do then maybe you can take us to the range you know he has a follow-up a second $10 donation do you guys know what the hell is up with PC hardware stuff being spread out all different private hotel suites is here I live here didn't feel like during the entire strip that's how it always is that's normal that's very it's very normal CES really sucks when it comes to especially the PC hardware yeah because yeah they're all out in Suites at different hotels yeah it like Venetian Palazzo or Caesars or a Bellagio or a Trump Tower and it's not separate from the actual yep main show location and it's all pain in the ass to get to and parking sucks now on the strip because we also the places charge for parking down it's stupid yep and I did valet the whole time cuz I have you know I drew my car whatever and like some of the hotels you get lucky because it's free valet but others like you're there for 45 minutes for one vendor Andres 20 bucks ever since MGM switched it's like at least $12 for parking everywhere yeah well I mean there's a few places that aren't but a lot of places since MGM did it and all their properties there get on the same route and so erases yeah even the Caesars Caesars just always my think their MGM to but I I don't even know hmm but Caesars as well it's like there's a nice self Park at Caesars but it cost money now yeah anyway thank you for your donations and next up is Fred ranting five dollars up a minute I'd like to I'd like to put some money on your gig and have a pie thrown in your face I think Fred does a regular live show that you could say no isn't isn't that fair it's kind of a one-way street here it really is yes it is if I could do productions with another $5 donation part3 give up the good work PS good catch sugar video Kyle actually incredibly informative a lot of people are saying that best videos I'm like am I in the wrong industry which is more you should random tech just exclusively reviewed or later boxes just things I have to do is shit haha rapid-fire 56 of the five dollar donation hey guys wanted to thank you both very amazing videos an inspiration to build build my first PC also thanks for teaching me how Kyle you got it's always good to know how to grow up Kyle's very good teacher of letting you know how you should Kyle to guess you taught me how to build a PC this guy oh yes thank you Paul teaching me so I could teach him I didn't teach you how to Kyle Lou teach me how to cow is that as a latest trendy dance move that's should it's replacing Jackson I need any day now john zakian $5 would a risin 7 1800 X and crossfire 584 gigs be a good combo that's what I was striving for before the bitcoin invasion 5 80s 4 gigs or a gigs are really really overpriced right now so it's hard to tell you exactly in here it all depends on whether you're about to buy these cards or whether you already have them if you already have right then sure that's fine combo if you're about to buy them I would say don't because in and all of the overpriced graphics cards right now the AMD cards are probably among the worst so it's hard it's hard to say you got to keep your eye on inventory and wait for stuff to come in and be available at close to MSRP and then kind of pick your poison yeah I would agree with that yeah Shane smart with five dollar donation no comment Thank You Shane not very smart for donating five dollars and even smarter for not commenting yep I Hurley 1989 20 bucks hey guys I just made a Twitter just to send you a pic of my PC I think that's your PC my dick I learned everything by watching YouTube built by build my first PC it's a 1950 X awesome choice can you tell me what you think don't be kind yeah I mean Semitic dog that my PC next week and and will definitely not be kind indeed but yeah congrats on the new bill wishbone $5 do you think CD Projekt RED cyberpunk 2077 77 will push modern GPUs that are affordable like a 570 to 580 since others are way overpriced at the moment Projekt RED is the same developer as Witcher 3 Wild Hunt and that sort of thing so I would imagine that they're trying to push the boundaries for you know graphically awesome textures and stuff that's not to say that their game won't be scalable GTA 5 can look absolutely beautiful but it's a super scalable game so even if you have like a ten fifty to fifty TI you can dump down the settings quite a bit and actually make it playable it just won't look as pretty so it's just a matter of how they're gonna develop it how granular the the quality settings in that game will be I remember that Witcher 3 was very PC forward obviously so it had a lot of a lot of control on you know various settings and stuff that you could mess with to get the framerate that you were looking for so I wouldn't quote myself on it but I think you could be ok with something like a gtx 1060 to play that game he said a 572 587 your Friday and then yeah same answer there yeah exactly so here's how like might have to adjust the settings or play at a lower resolution but yeah most games that come out right now with that kinda graphics card you can play a 1080 no problem red red $5 she says but your wife loved hitting you with the pie and I sense that what really counts and isn't that what really can't isn't that what really counts um know what my wife enjoys does not matter no I shouldn't say that that was horrible that'll be forever on the internet now uh no you're right you're right you're right but she gets plenty of enjoyment out of other things that don't pertain me getting pies in the face so um I will strive to keep her entertained with those things and not the pie in the face things alright that's all I got Michael shrewder $5 hey guys hey you guys are great I was wondering in the cooler master suite was there any more on the master box cube I did not get too much info on that so I would not be able to tell you I did the base model is gonna be 40 bucks so it's pretty cheap it's a little micro ATX case looks like a pretty solid couple the textured pattern on the console the one with the top and the hand side but there's also panels that you can add on tops and everything and then the i/o thing you can you can rotate to put on the bottom or the front to the top of the side so it seems like a pretty flexible case I need to get into it and builds in it to like give you a little bit more depth as far as like quality yeah it's a yeah yeah as far as internal quality and Bill Claude and everything but it seems like the base model for 40 bucks seems like a pretty solid be pretty solid choice yeah um well cool guys I think about pretty much oh Matthews from Matthew strum $5 Paul shirt is discriminative discriminatory against Red Dragons well is the green your dragon it's from Lord of the Rings what do you want from me it's cuz you're white there's no red dragons and Lord of the Rings you're oppressing my people of dragons is frost oh yeah sorry dragons matter um her Kermit no Kent kindred Siong sorry I butchered your name totally just there $5.00 hey guys just finished my build this Christmas just picked up a couple shirts thank you to the both of you for guiding the way you're very welcome thank you kindred and hope your Christmas build I hope I didn't screw at the merchandise yes right we gotta cut off donations cuz I need to go home that's it all right I got to Johnson's here I got to Jetson - alright alright Logan local Johnson Johnson big wood overclocking mug I got the thumb screw cap as well as the the mug one of my mugs and Kimber it again Cameron Oh butcher your name a second time tonight crystal RGB shirt and CPU cooler shirt wonderful one last Johnson to Jose I was a very Illinois he got the 50 not smug loser and that's gonna do it for tonight guys thank you so much for tuning in to awesome hardware we'll be back again next Tuesday and we've tossed like on the video go ahead and check out slide a on pulse channel if you haven't yet and if you would like to do timestamps for me I'd be forever indebted to you I'll just go ahead and blow it up in the comments and I'll be sure to pin and give you some credit but guys thank you so much love you all thanks good to be back it's gonna be been is and I think you all for sticking with us this long so have a good one guys and we will see you next time bye everybody very soon
