2017-04-11
gave me 24 minutes or we have 24 minutes now we need into my half a little bit that's okay no and I really that much interesting to talk about anyway it's also when this always happens that it's the stream when we're like we need make sure we finish on time today yeah we're gonna be really efficient and yes cuz because we have reservation if a reservation later yes we do I really love to tell them about that or no we can I mean it's gonna come out at some point okay it would have it would have potentially been in the thumbnail had we time to make one yeah that's so it's your live on your show by the way yes let's go so welcome people people of YouTube greetings welcome and thank you for joining us on today's show this is episode 101 of awesome hardware and if you're watching this live then sorry really bless your soul because you should have left a long time ago this is pretty damn late over half an hour going on 40 minutes late here so we do appreciate you guys sticking around but we do we're gonna try to do our best to uh to deliver a fun and an informational show as we never do so first announcement that I want to say really quick though yes that it's Paul's birthday ah okay tomorrow that's today it's today okay good Thanks tomorrow it could be tomorrow it could be it's it's sometime might have been yesterday yeah a 10 day radius plus or 10 days but it is Paul's birthday time yeah and so happy birthday Paul thank you you don't look a day over I am 45 I am older now everyone wish Paul a big effing happy birthday mmm and that's why we got to make this these these half of this episode quick because we've got dinner reservations you gotta go out and celebrate with Paul gonna get crunk and I don't want to miss that so wish him a happy birthday fallen when twittered Paul's hardware and and just make his life miserable with all your all your birthday wishes that he will just little blow up his phone break his Google pixel oh geez I will be the best birthday gift so yeah but I think the other things that we have to announce or that Paul's also ended his giveaway his very successful giveaway I think is now closed for the count it's officially done thanks to any guys who entered it was super successful I had I had a lot of positive feedback I was really happy about that because I was trying to make sure that there's something for everyone in there and I know you know not everyone from everywhere can always have some chance to win but I didn't I didn't it wasn't ever there wasn't anything for me well you're ineligible since we are oh thank you chat for all the happy birthdays oh my god everyone you guys are lovely people I love you you're alright I love you so much you're alright yeah yeah so cool that's out of the way and then we're selling stuff on our stores as always mine is bit with tech slash store you can visit that link our beautiful moderator self processing and perhaps some others will be paste in links and chat throughout the show where you can buy some off of awesome stuff on my sites I just got a couple new shirts including the game revolution shirt crystal RGB as a sort of throwback for those who are familiar with that video and bunch of other stuff there too I've also got glasses and mugs Paul also has a store that's almost hardware dotnet and if you go there you can buy a similar stuff but different designs sit same quality we go through the same t-shirt guy and if you happen to buy something from either of our stores at the same time within the same within the same like time frame I'd say within a few days or so oh the same day then you'll get a small kickback on shipping and you'll also get a loud loud Johnson shout out slightly offensive thank you from me and Paul by the end of this show highly sought after Perez very very sought after and I think on that note we can do a quick beer call I am drinking some beer that was brought over by Jose our friend our good friend and also Paul's editor Jose just my editor he had it's one or two videos for me every week yes he he stopped by the other day and he brought me some birthday beer which I was not expecting so thank you Joe I'm drinking the Imperial Stout from mother earth Brewing Company I believe I've had this before syntax it says and there's a peers to be a succubus on the bottle sexy sexy but it tastes better cuz I'm not drinking that yet I'm finishing there's an it's succulent I'm drinking an Elysium a split shot espresso milk stout she sounds quite tasty this doesn't get me to rekt I feel like I've got enough it's like 6% oh yeah we're good I feel like I got shitty enough for Q episodes last week yeah last week was a unique experience yeah hey we should get right into your segments let's do it okay let's do to fund or not to fund that's fun hey lower thirds are broken today okay cool I mean I can show them briefly like there but but then we disappeared by the way thank you very much Bobby for the five dollar donation we will be reading all donation messages at the end of this half so they have to be five dollars or more though especially since we're on a time crunch so just bear that in mind we will you will be heard at the end of the show but okay yes coo coo coo drone to fund or not to fund first off is where Paul and I take a look at some crowdfunding campaigns and we just either laugh at them or we go hey that's pretty cool it's usually one of the other we should buy that so yes so this is the Q drone I believe it's pronounced that way it's a it's a nano drum with a 4k camera that features GPS auto follow so I guess this is like the next generation of taking selfies perhaps of course you can use your your Android or iOS device to control its but that's no fun you want to be able to like throw a ball around with your friends and have a drone follow you around and be like oh I'm in the future this is what the future is like look we're in California and palm trees the old people are stupid so it's got GPS vision positioning so you know it's got your favorite position and look at these guys on the beach look at how happy there look it just follows the ball it's like a ball August says it talks he talks to you talks to the ball to keep you company it's like you it's it's also a therapist it's also a little mini therapist but look how happy that guy is come on this is the happiest person to see a drone oh my god gonna be like hi out of his mind one more time and the kids getting it he doesn't fully grasp it yet but he's learning so this thing is kind of a fun little gadget I guess if you're into drones particularly around one $6,000,000 that's what caught my eye initially is that yeah over a million dollars funded and only a $50,000 goal so they've you know achieved twenty three hundred percent twenty three hundred percent of their goal and they've still got two days left to pick one of these up it's only a hundred nine bucks I say only but I guess that might be a lot for a drone of this capacity I mean that seems to be a pretty good price I mean yeah and I think I think it boils down to the camera obviously you can't fully trust what the the campaign video was showing you that was early bird - you got it you got paid 130 now it's obviously not going to be like the 4k camera that's on like the DJI drones right the sensor is not gonna be nearly as sharp and things like that motion blur etcetera but if you're looking for just $100 cheaper alternative that follows you around it could be a fun thing to play with if you're really into taking selfies but let's move on to the next the next thing which is that the Atari pong table in the Atari pong coffee table it's already raised $300,000 over 300 K of its two hundred and fifty thousand dollar goal not quite as much as the true as the drone but still has met its its goal it's a playable real-life mechanical homage to the original pong back in the day the the tabletop sort of sort of styled digital game but this is not actually digital if you look here it's it's like it's analog I guess it uses magnets there's a magnet underneath where it like where what the Paul the pong ball would be the pawpaw ball only for your birthday had a play with my balls that one birthday only playing with Paul's balls on his birthday so there's a magnet underneath the ball and it moves around and it also creates like retro noises and there's lighting oh good that's RGB lighting but you know they look to be having a good time with it this guy looks like he's really into pong it's like I made this because I love pong so much so they took an old original digital video game and made it analog mm-hmm looks like we've come full-circle yeah pretty much how can you make a retro game even more retro yeah by like using a by removing older technology even the outdated technology with what it was with which it was originally constructed and replacing it with it's brilliant even more weight so how much how much you got a pledge for one of these forty dollars for a shirt a thousand eleven hundred dollars nine ninety wasn't I was confused I don't have men that ninety gets you a table a night owl special it didn't say I couldn't see table in there but I think you have to be referred by an existing I believe your dollar backer if you're referred by another high-roller then you get that but otherwise you get 1,100 1,100 right now scrub only 55 left only 55 so mmm jump on that if you want to play your magnet palm yep with your Atari throwback well your other pong loving friends so the last one here that we have on to know to fund or not to fund is our cube tents cube tent spelled with a Q and that's always a clever way of spelling cube it is it sure is and it sure is Paul and it features a connectible tents that are easy to set up within two minutes you can set up these tents and they connect any way you choose they suit either to three or four persons dome yeah that should be the quom let's say pod these are pods that's a dome with a Q this remind me of the hab units in and Martian and the Martians oh yeah yeah definitely so there's a little bit less possibilities here right you've got a couple of these cubes lying around and you just kind of get to peace out or part out what kind of tent area or camping area you'd like to have and it's fairly large I think that one looks like a two or three person tent huh it's it's a cubist shape which is a little bit odd but so you can stand up in it I mean that you can stand up in it which is nice so you can change in it like it seems to fold up very easily look at that he's doing it all by himself that's right okay that's pretty cool and it doesn't take up too much space obviously a little bit more than a regular tent does but I think you're sacrificing that for the ease of setup I love velcro flaps flaps yes and you see a range of possibilities here you know well what this reminds me of is like it's like look at a hamster obstacle course for humans you can just link them up you know like the tubes that hamsters go hell yeah it's kinda like that but for for people who like to act homeless now this used to try to build that sort of thing for myself when I was a kid like at a cardboard boxes in stem hmm this would be this would be a great let's make it much easier to pitch a tent I agree with that Paul that's certainly what it seems like I generally have trouble with that unless there's other people around but this lets me do it look at that it's a big one Wow but you know what Kennex pictured a really big tent what kind of scares me here though did someone could just have their cube like a complete stranger could bring a cube along and just attach it to yours and then I was like you can do to stop them no because the cubes are they recognize each other and they lock you in and then they for no apparent reason is like this biological do you read the fine you know suction thing that happens between them at soom basically a quarantine all right so so afraid for 24 bucks you can get LED strips for 30 bucks I'm just gonna bid 30 bucks to get the universal tunnel yeah because it's a universal tunnel goes any which basically is a tunnel to anywhere in the universe goes to China that's what they're advertising here it goes to you a tunnel to anywhere in the universe for $30 why are they focusing so much on the time on this cube - stupid tent Universal tunnel we may have a universal for $30 I feel like they really missing them there it's like the infinity fabric it's we need to talk the world's we need to talk to their marketing team yes we do they need us desperately but right so for in order to actually get the cube tent itself 275 is what you got to bid at this point yeah you'll get it in July you're just in time for camping season Hey or perhaps right in the middle of camping season 8 I'm not perfectly so that's the the cube tents and I think out of all three of those I'd probably go for the cube tense to be honest I have no interest in the pollen coffee table that's six that's expensive to present that is a lot of money and the cube tents yet or even cheaper than those drones like 300 bucks yeah I'm just saying how many cube tents could you buy for $1,100 I'm just saying you won't get a pretty decent like extremely lightweight backpacking tent for 200 250 bucks which I feel like would have more use and versatility where is your coaster you you I told you give me one you always give me one and this time you do there's like I'll just stay in the wood good wood all right pin the busy we have a dent in my PC in a while we've got five of you look I love when the screen goes black everyone said oh no that's gonna have indeed to change out the thing in all of those and I did not have time for that oh it's just not trying I'm just doing the lower third yeah just when the light red oval imitates a pebble you see Kyle had tweeted out earlier today at a bunch of people sent pictures of their computers we're gonna do we're gonna like the lightning round my knee run pierre-pierre to my wits says r7 1700 ooh in a m4 building it looks rx 460 a DIY PC j8e J 180 - W alright so DIY PC is a company that I all admit I don't like to have limited experience with them and my experience with them was bad because I was forced to do a video at Newegg on they're like really really I'm really really shitty tested it was awful Oh like it was so dry stuff yeah and they have like rough unfinished edges and stuff like that so the IPC yeah yeah sorry I don't have the best impression of them this one looks a little space actually looks halfway decent oh yeah it's got a paint interior yeah frettin bags and actually your table mansion it's pretty on point management so looks pretty decent there um I would like I feel like your your I don't know what do you what do you think of the vertical and for me it's an aesthetic thing okay I know there have been tested on they're really cool it doesn't really matter well in some situations it does maybe a one to three degree difference but I think just aesthetically it looks better vertically yeah to kind of go perpendicular to your graphics card and it sort of also sort of makes sense with the the directional airflow of your other case just actually how it's coming from the right side and going to the rear this is a personal thing I mean it looks like you have no other choice but to route your supplemental CPU power cable up here that is probably an unfortunate drawback just of the case itself but that does stand out to me just a little bit your cabling itself is pretty clean I mean it's all black and it's going where it needs to go in as efficient way as possible this this build seems slightly lopsided towards the CPU with an R with an arc 460 in there it's a capable little graphics card so yeah I mean depending what you're doing with this system of course sure if you're doing a lot of heavy lifting that need the CPU for then you're probably perfect but I would consider a GPU upgrade in the future maybe he's an indie game streamer that's possibly alright here's you XD XSP except me the XSP ross XSP a regular guy here's an i5 4460 lacking some power AF 4460 is not bad not a quad core not No so that's your that what is that doubles kit no that's a as well yeah first PC can afford to build alright got some blue LED action going on the what does this subtract what is that yep Dragonball that's Vegeta its Vegeta its Dragon Ball Z you have much more experience with Dragon Ball Z than I do hey just cause I'm Asian alright that's kind of racist Paul you're also younger than even younger than me now because it's member this is true to nominee for life all right so you gave some cable management what but what's it supposed to do here I I would you could buy it wouldn't yeah you have a flat cable here I would try to push that back through through behind this tray here and come out here and go to the GPO the closest hole I don't know honestly though it's not evident whether there is even a side panel window in this case so if there isn't or if it's smaller and you can only see up here then maybe it's less visible I gotta give you a little bit of props for your cable management job back here and the cables coming out of the PC yeah those sure are bundled up tightly it's like a cable foreskin yeah if you're an IT you're not supposed to do that sort of thing especially if you're mixing data and power cables but hopefully everything is working just fine for you other than that I mean it looks reasonably clean there I feel like there's just like some cables flying around here and there yeah that I see but again depending on the side panel window situation it's not that big a deal other than that your color schemes on point you got black and blue going all over and and I bet this is a pretty solid bill it is interesting you have a liquid cooler for an on and overclockable CPU but you know might just be for lawyers sure there you go I kind of like how there is that blue LED fan on it though that's cool yeah because it matches the other cases it's it really ties the whole thing together it does thanks XSP next we've got Andre Andre GB Monday 7850 k r9 380 8 gigs of period ddr3 and EVGA 500 watt power supply to 5 under gig laptop hard drives crier rig h7 and addy another DIY PC case Wow ok mr. popular that's a pretty evenly built system like that yeah CPU and GPU seem pretty well matched alright I'll say 470 it's not first 1750 K this is a good choice of cpu cooler the crabber gate 7 not terribly expensive 23 but it's gonna do a better job cooling it's gonna stay a little bit cooler itself your power supply cables are probably parts by cables and the your your hard drive just kind of floating in here I've done that what took you in the message don't get me wrong I've done that many times myself but this usually the necessity of my PC we got it we got to be a little critique through yeah with the with the mechanical drive I'd be a little bit more worried about that just floating in there and I might I might mount that down or to or velcro it or something just to keep it from tape it to the floor with it jiggling if there's an earthquake or a tremor or something and then obviously the cables on your power supply are not that great I mean you're dealing with mustard your doom was well the EVGA I think that's the 500 be probably which is it perfectly adequate solid decent bronze power supply but it doesn't look that hot and it's it's dragging your score down here when it comes to fit my PC yep but thanks to Andres thanks for the submission though and if you've got Scott Scott 4690k and a GTX 970 super super clock SL I from EVGA okay so first off I see dusts that's the problem the first thing you notice on top of the cable management of course cleaning so could use a decent cleaning and cleaning actually and that looks like vape I don't know at first I thought it was the back of an SSD or something but I don't think that's what it is it looks like there's a there's a barcode or something on it here I don't know weird rival done enhance zoom enhance dust you can see your finger prints on the power supply so there's an SSD and that is a box that's just a box it looks like a retail box or no it's like a bracket it's metal it's it looks like a bracket look a mini for the house it's like a floppy decorative oh my gets it maybe it's a dead floppy drive just chilling why dude can we can we enhance any further if how far how far and can we get here you if you if like a animal dies in your house you don't just leave it there you guys wake it out and dispose of it properly like it's a product of some sort there's bar codes on it you don't just put bar codes on some random piece of metal anyway alright we press too much I don't know anyway get rid of that thing so I don't think it's doing anything yeah yeah in cable management especially like I don't know get some did some sleeve cables get some black sleeve cables I like digging the the blue LEDs on the fans I think they this would be a good situation where some extensions could do you well I mean if you really really want to want to spruce things up aesthetically you should have plenty of room back here with the c70 case for extra cables so you can get extensions it'll also look better for your GPUs here granted you'll need to get four or six pin extensions so that I mean your price is gonna be a factor to consider there but it would look a lot better than the daisy chains coming off here because those those aren't looking that great and then of course some dusting would be nice I don't know I don't know if I'm digging the the blue LEDs the I believe this is the dark green version of the C 70 and what appears to be some bronze or copper it looks black to me motherboard the z97 xu d3h the case it might be black there's a very dark green version of it it could also be black I think they might do a blackberry started to tell yeah just just dust just dust your keys that's that dang out it'll look 10 years younger promise next step we're done tile you wouldn't our last our last guy here for proud he's got a lot of he's got a 59 30 K core i7 now x99 deluxe some as memory and a GTX 770 oh two of them in SLI mm-hmm so good God that that's a light connector that's really the bridge that is an interesting bridges like I guess that would be functional bridge that needs to be torn down that bridge is completely unnecessary it's too long these are set copper these are 7 70s in two-way SLI you only need a single SLI bridge here this is this is very much the only one he has it's gotta be you got it yeah yeah I mean any other one would be better but no it's the next 99 deluxe motherboard maybe it was a refurb or something and that's the only one it came with because it comes I've used this motherboard it comes with an array yeah the various sli connected a rigid hard but yeah but yeah that's that's just a little eyesore sticker and your power supply kind of clashes with the blue on your fans yeah if you want to fans I really like but if your moves do you remove the power supply sticker both of them both stickers oh look he's got the fanox fan extension hub thing here also for the x99 deluxe also these hard drives that are mounted right here looks like a custom thing yeah I think you just got some cages and mounted them to the top that's interesting coming yeah I managed to see the cables honestly alright so there's some obvious standout things here like I mean that's a lie bridge obviously but like I feel like if you remove the stickers from the power supply may be considered an extension or two just to get rid of some of the ketchup and mustard and I don't know the key part the the GPU plugs don't look awful but they could look better when tidy up you know these cables and I think it would vastly improve the look that you got going on here but yeah I mean obviously if you just want a quick fix givers head that's the leverage yeah yep there you go maybe a quick Justin that's all for Pitt my Jordan let's do a quick round of let's just skip face off okay good idea because flash player is not enabled in this browser I'm good let's go with our first story news Rison v 1,400 and 1,600 benchmarks that are here from Kyle Bennett two-part OCP that I took a look at earlier these are the two SKUs that AMD did not send me or Paul so I was kind of said most people didn't send most people in fact but they did put them up for sale a good week before freaking Bargo lifted who ain't needed sometimes I think you live under a rock I do all the time really wait didn't we talk about this we've been ignoring it at least I've been ignoring it but this was they were on sale in multiple locations apparently in the US and also in South America oh yes whatever who like bought one yeah they don't we heard there were retailers that had risin 5 CPUs and just sold them break you know yeah got the shipment in that guy's put up for sale like ya know yeah I remember that I I for some reason I thought like a new menace AMD was selling them directly from their site and you know like retailer retailers just screwed up is what happened yes so whose fault that was maybe AMD had some blame you the retailers had to blame but it did seem to happen in multiple locations so they have been rising 5 reviews out with benchmarks that are totally legit with actual rise and 5 processors for like a good week yep I've been trying to ignore them because yeah wait no wait until we can post that stuff because we're under we're under embargo yeah yeah hard Ossipee was one of the sites that got them and they said they just bought all four I think that we're available it was lucky ducks so yeah yeah they were taken out the 1400 and the 1600 the 1400 is the entry-level it's the lowest and chip in the risin 5 line up it's got four personal Reds and 65 1 tbp the 1600 it is sort of like what the 1700 was to the 1700 X in a way because there's a 1600 X obviously without the X you're you're giving a slower clock inner-box Bock interesting yes so they're all being tested at very low resolutions below 1920 by 1080 just to sort of usually you do that to magnify take the to take the bottleneck off of the GPU and put it on the CPU yeah I think that's exactly what they're doing which which makes sense to some degree and in and Kyle goes on to say he's like no way does this reflect real-world performance yeah like anyone who's telling you that this is real where performance is trying to mislead you or they're flying so I'm glad he like kept that in there but it does have a much drastic but more drastic gap and what we were seeing in our tests because we testing it like 1080 in 1440p yeah but this does illustrate sort of where the single core and I guess the multi multi core performances between Xen and Katie Lake which is what they're testing against the core i5 7600 K and the 7700 K I'm not gonna go over too much detail in the article because I would prefer that you guys read it and throw hard OC piece and some cred their way but in a nutshell the r7 they also tested in r7 led by only four percent over the 1600 which makes the 1600 pretty damn appealing if you ask me Darce wait Oh singing the 1700 it doesn't say it's why although if it's that for you you're like doesn't really matter which rise in seven trip it is maybe a little bit attention but not not a whole lot there's probably really slight variance there so rise and seven was and was only leading in my tests at least and I've seen a few other people tests in similar ways the like the excuse the 1800 X and 1700 X even at the same clock speed the the more expensive CPU still seem to perform just a little just a little bit faster but very very slight true but definitely nothing like no no game-changer sort of thing by far so the r7 is leading over the 1600 by only 4% in these tests and mind you that's at the very low resolution where there's no GPU bottleneck to be considered and the r7 whatever chip even if it's a 1700 the base model for the r7 lineup that's still what is that that's like 1308 how expensive is a 1600 220 is 220 the 1600 yeah it's 220 yeah okay so that's like yeah that's like $100 around $100 cheaper the 1600 around $100 cheaper but it's only performing you know the r7 is only performing 4% better than it so that makes it really appealing which is why I actually bought a 1600 today and that's good I also bought a more weight to do by 1400 I did I got a buzz lifting I got this 1,600 1,400 yep Kyle stopped at will-call and picked his up my inherited mine are gonna be shipped because I'm lazy you lazy although I could have gone and picked him up tomorrow morning actually I didn't think of that but whatever it's fine it's okay I think Mike's story quelle comics back at Apple and countersued over iPhone and iPad royalties this is do we care about this no all right let's move on move on yeah IP and employees of night-night arrow team adblock detective Knight teru teru sorry if I'm pronouncing it incorrectly Forbes won't even let my past their damn thing Tero ism is a maker they make things they make they currently are one of the very few companies in the world who make 60 gigahertz wireless chipsets do we care about this story enough to bypass Forbes being fascist okay I'll just give you the ten-second can tell you can talk about it we're just not gonna have the visual okay that's fine all right at erä I don't want to wait lift with white list them out of spats okay yes screw Forbes screw Forbes Anna Tarot make they make wireless chipsets 60 gigahertz using an radio wave tech for things like wireless we are so obviously VRS had some slow adoption I think everyone as soon as it came out and we tried that we were like yeah VR is great and it's exciting it's expensive as hell but I think really we all have the same thing in our minds which was the wires got to go so just a lot of people are like yeah we try to make VR and AR even Wireless AMD has has said that in the past if they're not trying to get into the hmd space that's nothing out there going but they still want to probably optimize their hardware their CPUs and GPUs for a better VR experience and so they've acquired all the assets and the employees and the IP of this company that has quite a bit of VR tech under their belt so um well they're gonna be using this wireless chipset for if they're not making HMDs look at this Engadget article that I was just able to blow it up and look about the look in their ink center now we can look at this chick minute website with the VR headset he's watching porn she's probably watching spoiler alert so I don't maybe AMD just wants to slap their name on on HMDs like basically saying like hey look our technology is in the vibe our technology is in the the rift just because they bought a company that will one day hopefully implement some of their technology into those headsets who knows companies do that they like to get in everywhere they do get into it just work it right in there work it right in this just slide right in but but you know what maybe maybe they're there maybe AMD's planning to take these Wireless chipsets and embed them into their video cars so instead of having like a VR and HMV supported HDMI port like at the front of the card look for a pass-through it's just a wireless chipset that's built into the card and you can just it's that would be via already like okay you can put V already on your retail box if there's a wireless VR chipset built into your video card I'm okay with that that'd be pretty cool that would be pretty sweet not having to deal with because you get a pass there it's like okay there's like the three cases that have HDMI pass-throughs on them I bet I bet panel I bet Vega is gonna have that big yes absolutely since AMD bought this come Scott like yesterday yeah they're already totally gonna have it integrated well you can call this immediately this more dad Scott told us it's happening that's happening guys relying Scott didn't tell us any of that no but yeah exciting stuff maybe we'll see some other stuff put to use in 2018 let's move on to the last story here which is about the new windows windows power plans is this articles been out for this news hit a few days ago and actually you mentioned it in your memory overclocking your rise in memory overclocking video I did it you used it as well I used it in my residence you saw I mean of course it was kind of hard to make him MD was like hey we'll give you like an extra 50 bucks if you use the this power plan we all know that you're an AMD shill Paul I was like just saying the AMD dick I was like make it 60 call it even uh so why were eating out tonight heyo she said balance mode is has known to actually Park Rison course just aggressively which sucks it makes for poor performance but yet high performance mode isn't very practical because even though it does increase your performance a bit you're also running at higher voltages the balanced mode does do a fine job of lowering those power states when you're not under a heavy load so it's kind of just wasteful even though you're on a desktop it's easy to perform even better than the high performance plan too because yes so this what the new update does it's kind of in-between it changes it sort of modifies how Windows 10 treats the physical and virtual course so in Windows 7 it would have all of the all the physical cores awake and all of the virtual course would be parked but in Windows 10 Windows 10 has one physical core awake and one virtual core awake with all the other corners asleep and it only like it only wakes them up when it needs them but that's why we were seeing subpar performance in Windows 10 compared to Windows 7 and that's why everyone thought it was the Windows 10 scheduler that was bogging performance down but after a AMD sort of released this article and this update in their blog that kind of like you know just said they freed the scheduler of all blame for for these performance woes so that's kind of interesting so now we now we have a new performance plan that you will have to get as Paul mentioned in his video you'll have to get that yourself it's not just going to come with a Windows Update automatically you have to go to the AMD blog and download it but I would suggest if you are running a rising chip of any kind you should definitely get on board with that power plant it's very easy to install very easy to install and according to AMD can get you up to a twenty one point six percent bump in performance in crisis three or a four point four percent increase in GTA 5 and and battlefield one is like eight percent war and sixteen percent which is the pretty pretty good that's why my my rise in five benchmarks with GTA 5 the GTA 5 performance was pretty good with the resin chips they definitely closed that gap a little bit it's actually good to see when nice and first launch and like rise and seven stuff and people you know we first were like man it's weird this gaming performance anomaly and stuff like that basically the main talking points if you're good be critical of the rise and launch and my impression was like man that doesn't seem like something that in my experience in the past can be fixed like a GPU comes out drivers can mature and get better and be be specifically tailored for certain games and stuff like that and you can have a lot of improved performance over time I hadn't seen that as much with CPUs but I'm glad to see that was stuff like using different power plans and whatever however it's done as long as it's not crazy complex as long as it's somewhat accessible to you know your basic home user then yeah I'm up for whatever they can do to eat get more performance I agree but that is going to sum it up for my half of the show again we're cutting it a little bit short today because we are on a time crunch so really quick just a couple things that I wanted to point out Johnsons we have to do some Johnson's really quickly that's let's do that quick oh boy Johnson Wow you guys you guys you guys you guys guaran guarantee q very much sir Johnson to you Jason Johnson Johnson with Jason Johnson for Jason we got two more here Jeremy Jeremy Johnson a lot of I like it when the name start with J cuz it goes well garan double Johnson Joe for that Jason double Johnson yes I'm just catching up here but to double Johnson's you know they've come in Fast and Furious James oh no a low stock for something and Michael Michael Johnson did you do was there Jeremy yes Jeremy Jeremy whoo wow you got a significant amount of pro Jamie good luck to you and Michael we love you guys fantastic all right so um we do have the donations do you want to say that for your half of the show or do you wanna get them out of the way now let's go over them now there's this okay many thank you all right thank you PI for the $20 donation with no comments hi it's just like hey here's 20 bucks my favorite kind of comment is a good comments cash wahby even the $5 these are happy birthday Paul oh thanks Bobby how bad did you guys smoke smoke well we told you that we say we set him we sent him packing back to Canada right yep that's where they are now yep - doesn't even have one of the legs before before before the end of scrapyard Wars they weren't planning they were like we're gonna stay here and then then we smoked him yep then they're like well we better go back to Canada we put him in our pipe exactly we lit him up exactly smoke the out of those guys Tech and TAC $5 donation again with no comment there is a race that didn't Nelson for the $20 donation yeah you get an orange hey guys love the show quick question I just clean my pc and now my fans are running at full speed and I can't slow them down and the idea how to slow them down on an ACC 97 a UEFI doesn't give me many options um according to the mother the UEFI should give you options yes the you 97 a like you can control or something consider if you really can't get any control over them you've got a couple of their options one is to buy inline resistor cables that you plug in inline which just adds a resistor which will lower the voltage go into the fan and lower the RPM so actually used I have a few of them sitting around in certain situations that come in handy the other option would be to consider like in and expect inexpensive fan controller you can get those for you know 20 to 40 bucks and those do offer a bit better controls over the fans usually depending on which one you get of course those will be my suggestions but I feel like within a Suzy 97 board there's you should you should be able do something about that update the BIOS update the boss depends on the head of your plugged into sometimes it'll have control over like three or four headers and then it'll be a couple more that don't have control and maybe you're plugged into those so check manual 2 and also maybe you're booting straight into like the Advanced Mode or something and sometimes you have to go into your like the the easy mode and where it's more like visible where like the cue fan control is yeah some people don't know that you can switch between different UEFI modes so to speak and there are certain features that aren't on one or the other I don't know that is a fan expert motherboard but mmm if it is then you'd be able to load the software for that anyway thank Jim's intonation Shane 10 bucks stimulus both y'all channels and builds we love you yeah yeah hi Reed Heckman $10 donation Windows Update killed the stream should have switched to Linux that Wendell could hook you up there either way happy birthday thank you read yes thank you so much all hail thee ever know what killed the stream at the beginning was my GH for refusing the output via HDMI randomly strangely for some reason we are now actually capturing to a different capture card them usually capture to long story anyway well yep we'll talk about it later and Kara doc Robertson for the $5 donation with no comments Tara doc Jesse wanted to say here's five bucks why thank you guys so um thank you so much for joining us again apologies at the beginning for being late as we were but we're not done yet we still have Paul's have to go so there's a link in the description of my youtube video or you can just stay here if you're watching on twitch if you're watching this after the fact then go ahead and toss us a like on this video and we will see you momentarily thanks everybody
