you're gonna watch side B in just a bit on Paulus half of the show which is Paul's Hardware on YouTube I'm an awesomesauce Network and you might notice all of you frequent viewers that we actually have a plus one with us today show yourself you boys your plus one mystery man yes I put my 5 yes it's the fractal jobs transfer raster design design Frank Josh on Twitter yes that freckle Josh on Twitter at fractal Josh on Twitch and all that happy stuff follow him at your own risk yes gentleman it's very risky we're hearing a chat already the the deep like base of your voice is just punctuating everyone's everyone's the subwoofers so all their clothes are net wants good well that's ok that means all right and it looks like we are alive as well as everything is working this is

good to know very true Thank You Josh Thank You Troy also we have we're still taking submissions for a new awesome hardware logo that is going to be fan submitted by one of you beautiful people out there so you can go ahead and email awesome hardware rules at gmail.com just the way it sounds that is spelled we are gonna be putting this design potentially or getting inspiration from the winners design and putting it on a future shirts in both of our stores so go ahead and send us your best and you don't have to be like a Photoshop guru I mean you can just send this like something some basic thing that you wrote on a napkin you know if you don't know shit about computers which why are you walking you the show to learn about computers obviously but go ahead and we love seeing the fan arts actually had a couple good ones that I've shared with Paul recently but we're still taking more giving you guys some more time to come out with those speaking of awesome part of our merch there is an awesome hardware sweat sweatshirt swap shop where all of the awesome hardware gear is being made very it's very profitable for game consumer friendly price if you guys do an awesome hardware paraphernalia for yourself right now though we've got a sweater that's available this is just the basic logo it's available on both Kyle's store in my store SoCal stores awesome stuff it really accentuates the nipples it does yeah our faces go right over your nipples cows gotta do action than if it gets cold that's right the store very popular shirts use offer code over 50 between now and Christmas on Kyle store or my store to get 10% off all orders over 50 yes that's for Kyle store my store is over here at store dot Paul Debrett and that same thing goes I also have my new pulsar a logo my updated version some shirts and hoodies with that on and I am also selling some t-shirts and some hoodies I look which like I have like one of each left so very limited quantities but I have some $12 shirts and some $25 hoodies on there if you guys are looking for a deal and you happen to find the shirt or hoodie the fits you nice awesome it's the limited-edition shit right there yes very exclusive and out of you and out of stock will you be in the club but still balls hard with that so that's pretty much it for announcements anything that you want to say Josh would you want to say something for the end or are you pretty much I'm just you're just here long variety to be here okay so we'll make this a holiday tradition oh yes um I should say thanks to pup shepherd who tossed a little donation there and chat guys if you're if you're in if you're watching on YouTube because we're streaming to twitch and YouTube and you happen to make a donation we will try to make note of that oh we might not mention it right away if we're in the middle of something but we'll try to come back to those stores in this story yes that's not necessary by any means at all but they must donate if you want to continue watching the show that's true at least everyone twenty-five dollars become an extortion attend the show dies unless we get fifty dollars in the next 22 minutes I am NOT streaming to YouTube guys if you want to watch on YouTube we're streaming - Kyle's channel right now yes that's awesome sauce Network yeah yes okay but a URL is slash awesome sauce music actually you can type in awesome sauce Network and still works Josh is the white girl Jones white James or James Earl Jones yeah I got the white part down just that's formal tea okay alright so what's your first thing my first segment is to fund or not to fund bring it back we haven't done this one in a while but a little spin on this particular segment where we take a look at different Kickstarter campaigns or just any crowdfunding campaign for that matter and we decide whether or not they are worth our valuable dollars this is the not to fund addition because I thought all the ones that I found today we're absolutely so this first one is called the cefiro and we've actually taken a look at a product that's similar to this just in the fact that it was a razor blade it was the laser razor which had its own controversy attached to it for not actually working the way it was intended to in the video group the laser razor but this is actually a different type of razor that doesn't use a laser I'm saying laser and razor a lot it uses a sapphire blade so sapphire supposed to be super impenetrable and super sharp like an iPhone like an iPhone like an iPhone what's that I read these comes your house and saves you monster will like sapphire heads iPhone if you want maximum sapphire I never I never buy a buy a razor from a clean-shaven man so and would be a great candidate for that but this is basically I don't know what's what's there to say about this other than it's made of sapphire the blade itself will last anywhere from six to twelve months okay knowing how marketing goes usually it's probably like six months because all these gimmicky razors you could buy when you could be buying this sapphire baby whales you need one really really expensive this is absolutely so is this this is like a lifetime product is that what they're advertising here you spend one no one lower price of $200 and you never need another razor that's right so by the way this is $200 like Paul said one blade will only last six to twelve months so Fortuner dollars okay granted you don't have to buy you you can buy replacement cartridges which aren't an additional two hundred instead as the Kickstarter states it costs less than $49 which is a really weird which we're guessing it doesn't cost less than $48 exactly to use that exactly know one of the greatest uses of technology over the past few years not curing cancer you know the Mars rover it's letting you do something you've already done all your life yeah you know my solution is to this is just buy a cheap razor and never change the blade I haven't changed my blade in like a year and I still I mean that's probably so clean shave it right now that's why it's mostly ceased to work at all that's right hey works for me so I'm gonna say no I'm not gonna fund that let's move on to our next equally horrible the you idea I thought this was called the u P because its title was cut off in the little and a little tab tell me that sound like a mobile pap smear device designed for voyeurs is the mobile pregnancy you never know when you might have to check your shit up Sam so this is a microp a microscope a professional microscope for your smartphone so it connects to it wirelessly there's apps and shit that you can use with it it provides anywhere from 35 to 350 X magnification 1 point 4 micrometer resolution 4 hour battery life it's water-resistant costs $100 why would you need this well that's a good question yeah I don't think anyone needs this for those two girls didn't look like scientists that looked like what were they examining it looks like one girl was like all right let me let me show you guys you guys can't hear audio don't have audio so one girls on the steps and she's like I'm trying to take a picture of the concrete and I can and the other girls will let me help you by giving you this device to put on there and then and then look at this detailed picture of the concrete okay you're gonna have the best Instagram photo ever you can use it all up with three different filters advisin filter maybe there was like an image of Jesus in the concrete right there that she was trying to take picture she want to capture it because I'm sure clean labs are running to grab their cellphone they don't have like a you know single purpose acquitting it these are sperm samples what is you know we're gonna see Nexus like Forensic Files well we thought he was innocent but Bubba had his magnifying glass on a cell phone it's a Nokia's anyone can be a crime scene investigators okay you with the micro-p would you do you call this and you that's a good as I say you peek Micro people that's the sign for micro that is a sign for micro but often it's like either way it's kind of creepy it's like leave it in the window of a strange lover's house and you remotely through walls what is she using it to do their happy I've got a random question it gets wrapped how often does the average person just need a microscope at a moment's notice exactly I mean like how often you're home shit I wish I had a microscope right now look at all these images you get thinking to get a close-up look of a silkworm like is the Internet not enough of a time sink already like if you're at the dinner table you're bored well it's like a microscope shit and not be bored now yeah like certain Internet era scopes its worst thing ever brought to you live from my bellybutton periscope in your nose I know what this is for actually I meant by I know what this is for this is for like did like a bug's life it's like for a bug's life for them to do like selfie periscopes that's your gramma Guinness oh my head lice my pet head lice is gonna periscope down a night all the viewers we're on the UK and give me a sec this is fabulous use of technology needless to say we've already spent too much time on both of these products combined so let's move on to the third one which is the cat clutch LED purse now you have to play the video here to get really get the full effect of the the breath of ingenuity that goes into this device it is a clutch purse so this is something apparently women use to tote things around but this one as you can see has LEDs on it too and also a built-in battery charger they don't specify the milliamp waters ooh that's really weird that I think it was eleventeen missile weapon team Nami amps which is a very standard number these days and you can even customize to say things like bio roofies own high maintenance or whatever it is so yeah I mean this obviously this is kind of like a fun maybe gift that you could buy for a young girl because it's only $300 what yeah nothing screams attention whore like a walking beside your clutch you know and that's another aspect of it is too it's like you know good luck trying to hide your shit on the way back to the car you know it's like flashing like search someone hacks it to read off the contents in tampons 42 dollars in cash and some Altoids you know you see that you're like there's some good shit in there 10 to 12 hours of battery life though yeah I mean it's LEDs as a five six that'll last almost until the walk machine can get home like me to ride this wave your purse around could you try to do the walking shoes right but then like the things blinking so everyone joined by Sarah your purse tarts extorting you I know what you did I will text all your friends that's so cute it just seems like with the cat though that's cute like okay you see that seam right there would you ever walk into that bar you walk up to the door you see the streets yeah boy what does it say about you okay coach Emilie Vuitton they have expensive bags right but it doesn't really scream it out because there's knockoffs like if you got a purse that cost $300 the mentality be you've got some money inside purse it just seems like a hey bug me and here's what you need to grab this flashing thing or even if you've got five dollars on the purse mugged me and then sell the person for 300 bucks I don't know if I was a girl that mine would just say empty you'll just keep running sad face there's nothing in here so yeah go ahead and pick up one of those lady pics like three bucks so that was the not to fund addition thank you very much why don't we go ahead and move on to our next segment which is pin my PC the blatant ripoff segment from Matt Philly's pimp my setup thank you Matt for giving us this genius idea that we'd love to rip off thanks Mike and make our own so he lives in a shed now so you guys probably push them out of the house but you can check it out a swashing TV on youtube does a really great show there but we're to be talking about more PC driven aspect of things so I think Paul has the first one lined up from Eric should you should you totally do Eric what kind of system is this well it's not a fractal case so Josh automatically fails it all right yeah let's get that out of the way everything that's not fractal er we assume I hate right this isn't an tech not a p180 it's one of the newer ones but not the newest ones because I had the P 180 but it did not have a painted interior so maybe that's not a P I don't know but it's not one of the newest ones cuz these these pull out drive cages in the middle they phased those out said he found this case in the trash okay so where every an check case belongs am i right Joshua I have no comment I know they can bridge I'm joking I'm just trying to pull you're on there but um yeah okay yeah I mean what would we what would you guys change about this other than the stock cooler maybe and some cable management yeah I think I think you have a bit of green here with the power supply and the the GeForce logo going across that because I go with that I know I think that's that's perfectly fine I think the Noctua fans kind of awkward just because it's kind of sticks out like a sore thumb yeah it doesn't match the color scheme at all right obviously the ketchup and mustard cables going into your here 24-pin ATX and stuff like that maybe swap those out for some black extensions maybe get some PCI you wants to go along with it while you're at it but overall I mean it's pretty solid bill I think maybe a nice just Arab sand air shock air cooler for that cpu of yours the 4770k might look a lot better it's also probably to be a lot quieter than the stock fan if you're gaming when that thing ramps up its it can be pretty noisy but 16 gigs of ram everything else looks pretty solid yeah I if I so if this is one of the in tech cases that I'm familiar with there is no side panel window so okay visually speaking it's one of those kind of big tall monolith cases actually look I like the look of these cases just because they're kind of that standard told us that they they have sort of a minimalist quality to them only we do I don't know what I'm sorry I forgot fractal it was the only one we have been in word actually so yeah I'd say the upgrades to make here would be functional ones which is of course the CPU cooler there other aesthetic stuff like even swapping those cables out like extensions or something like that if you're never gonna see it I wouldn't bother to be honest cable management could use a little bit of tidying up but this is also a difficult case to cable management but yeah yeah and this actually brings up an interesting question that I'm curious to know what you guys think if you do if you're rocking a case that doesn't have a side panel window and no one can see the inside of it anyway does it matter what it looks like on the inside to you personally I will say yes but that's because I even if I'm putting a side panel like the the bill that the the streaming system that we've been using over here I built and I knew it was gonna outside town I was gonna and I wasn't gonna see the inside but I made a video of it so it is visible to a certain degree so I like to have it cleaned up I like to have the cables tidy if there's if there's a mess of cables even if it's in an area where there's no airflow like I've still I have a little bit of OCD to me about that like I'm just I want a bunch those up I wanna write I want it to look like I did something I made some effort for that I got a flip side for you is to see that day I think on Twitter do you do your cable management up front or once you get everything built booted loaded blah blah blah you come back to it so you basically do we do a test boot before we start playing everything well yeah like because I'd like I've even done it on bench like we're gonna test food everything's fine you build the system you won't waste the case you do everything the way you want to do it right and it's like some doesn't work that son of a bitch you know honestly I rarely ever do test it's nowadays like usually I'm just trying to live dangerous I I'm on the edge don't push me but I don't know you did a test boot for hotline though I did do a test boot for hotline I kind of had to everything was done in like really small series you know piece by piece but usually if I'm building a system especially if it's just like a quick four hundred dollar budget bill like I did recently it's just like it's faster for me to just I mean all of us are probably so used to building systems at this point where we can just build them and tear them down pretty quickly so it doesn't really cost me that much if if I if I if I build it and something doesn't work I just troubleshoot it it's actually nice to sometimes troubleshoot a system once it's all built up because you test more components that way to a certain degree but as far as I kept tying things down like actually or finalizing your well usually make sure that it posts before I you know tie it tie everything down sell and chat and I agree with him here says and thanks for being here and modding his cell by the way he plans the cables out beforehand and then he fixes what he needs to after and I think that's probably along lines of what I do I like to if I know where everything's gonna go I like to start cinching stuff down early like if I know the 24 pins gonna be here like you know sometimes I'll get that kind of stuff routed out usually like there is some end of the build cable management that always come back it's got like 60 70 percent of the way there yes branch it off but sometimes it's very convenient to do a little bit of it along the way but you have you have to have a game plan you have to know what the end result is gonna be it's it's nice to twist tie something first and then because you can always add to it later and then once you're finalized then you can remove the twist tie replace of the zip tie a good one too so yeah this is turn from pip Mac PC into like to building to building tips ask me another segment the crashing cat that would be good it's bad so thank you for that Eric let's move on to the next one Mike he's on the side there's an image or link hold on yes sorry I forget to link that one but okay so you've got a Xigmatek case it looks like you don't get too many of those these days meet lurch you've named it lurch that's kind of no that was meat lurch like any eighty I'm like that's interesting I don't know if I want to eat it looks like the case lives on its side like this that's what he does because it is a tower stove at least on the ground at least it's on the floor that's true yeah you do got do some dual coolers there that's a pretty beefy air cooler your power supply is a NASA I don't know how reliable as if power supplies are I don't know if it's 80 plus or not oh yeah it is it is a plus so I guess that's that's good hello look at this I love his heatsink mounting for the CPUs have you seen have you gotten to that point yeah yeah oh wow you've known the Lynas route this is a method that I have used has lanĂºs done this as well yeah you get to in one of those builds because they lost the hard work okay I've used this to secure an old graphics card heat sink fan back under the graphics card and it's like you feed one zip tie through and then you take the other one and you pop it on the top right and you can sip the two ends off too and it actually cleans it up a little bit as well but um these have been left on I have great appreciation for that though so it's a super microserver board and must be dual Zeon's or something like that yeah it is just there no super micro board yeah you're right he said he has all right here's the specs to Zeon 55 20s and 2.2 gigahertz a couple of hyper 212 Evo's Super Micro x8 - I motherboard a gtx 960 4 gig 16 gigs of ECC server memory 128 gig SSD 500 gig laptop hard drive some miscellaneous fans and the Xigmatek spirit w case but he he put this whole this is a this is like a scrapyard or worse built like a Franken bill yeah I put this whole thing together for 500 bucks that's pretty that's pretty damn good given that price point I'm that's pretty cool now there were some people in the comments that were saying that you might get some melting issues possibly with the zip ties but I think at the clock speed that he's running these chipset as someone might have mentioned that I don't think that would be an issue but it's something to consider seriously if you're gonna be over we chip like a ski or something like that but this is a nice workaround for for this particular setup and as far as pimping goes I think we've pimped many servers yeah servers or server parts or like five hundred dollar budget builds I mean we've done a few of them here and there this is probably the best shot to look at just cable management wise yeah I don't know I mean I feel like pimping this you got to invest more money in it than would that we kind of take it outside don't think they're like oh you get like a 24-pin you get a couple graphics pen extensions already up to like close to a hundred bucks and yes yeah the price yeah entire system and again there's no there's no window on the side panel so it's not a whole lot to see I would say again from the OCD side of it you know you could you could pull back some more of these cables around here you could pull some more stuff kind of back behind the motherboard tray since there is some space this these little hangers out here you know just just time up get them out of the way so they're not visible when you open the case and that would clean things up a little bit beyond that I mean I think you have a very nice bang for the buck going on right there make make all the fans blue translucent LED fans oh yeah done consistency throughout impt thanks Larry oh dog well doesn't thank you thanks Mike all right moving on to Dan dan what do you got dan dan has a slipknot this is transitioning the peasant rebuild so a former console peasant moving to the PC gaming space welcome storm enforcer case welcome it's nice here I mean looking all brooding and that the blest areas yeah okay a strong theme you've gone so far Steven remove the power supply label so it's probably clashing before but you took that off so thank you also the dims sir matching perfectly with that Corsair Vengeance indeed and yeah you've got it looks like you have been methodical with picking out the parts here you even got like a really black and neutral video card there to match and blend in really nicely there are some cable issues here some blacks leaving or maybe some black and red sleeving like Capon waddles up some really good prepackaged stuff that you can check out I think fantex also might have some sleeving in store or you can go you know to the professionals or whatever and get some some new troe custom stuff but I think for what you have right here just getting something prepackaged would be nice also just maybe a different cooler again Intel stock cooler looks like it yeah dan dan says he's hoping for a hyper 212 evo for Christmas that'd be good definitely been a nice upgrade there wouldn't match quite as much but um yeah all core I'll still support it because it's so much better than the stock cooler you'll love this is like like he's some attention to detail there's red zip ties going on from where he's right at some of these cables and and he took the sticker off of the stock cooler and stuff there's still some cables floating around here like this one that seems to be coming over here for this fan yeah feel like if they rotated that fan maybe you could wrap that cable up here and get rid of it and tie up maybe and feed it down through here where it will be hidden a little bit more or I mean if you're if you're doing an upgrade on this in the future and you want to use existing cables II know they're ugly like consider some cheap sleeving like it's really it's not too difficult to pop the cap off right slides up sleeping on and puts a little connectors back in so that might be something to consider and then I'd say definitely do something maybe about this cable management situation down here at the bottom yes the full-blown says yes yeah it's it's not terrible but it could definitely be improved agreed yeah thank you looks like the right direction yeah definitely nice build Dan next up we've got Chris Chris no Phantom Chris Dolph Chris Hobson that's an i5 4690k 4.6 gigahertz gigahertz nice overclock EGA 960 for the win 16 gigs of ram and and NZXT s340 alright so ooh the color coordination here is is all like black whiteness Lou is that what I'm getting yeah for a second but not even ready blue parole but not even just like this so we got we got two different sets of memory we got a blue hyper x kit and a reg kit there's blue accents and the heat sinks on the motherboards and there's blue cables for the power supply I don't know what power supply that is down there those are some that's some terrible painter believing yeah I mean you get some bad cable Swedish tank yeah like you got the Badger gliding cables leaving but at least it's black this is blue and it looks terrible yeah so yeah those are all different colors of blue slightly that's like one of the problems that most people face like even Jays doing his rebuilding skunk works like I want to do orange but what shade of horns like when you go with some more like a black like black it's black and white for those parties is white pretty close gonna be very specific yeah he getting like the reds and blues and I was telling you I went through like a half a dozen different types of pink for hotline before I actually found the one that that was gonna work with the fluid that I got so it's definitely a challenge and you know for for PC manufacturers there's a for the hardware there's different shades in itself so like the blue on your motherboard doesn't necessarily match perfectly with the blue and your RAM there's though ways that kind of that sky-blue versus like the really traditional dark almost of royal blue and that's where like an electric blue yeah yeah exactly so I think you kind of just have to stick with one of the other so far it looks like you have more blue in the system than red I mean if you had to go one way or another so maybe I don't know but you know if you like the red and blue theme which I'm not a personal fan of but if it's your system if you like it then at least make all the blue match and yeah because it the second image of it there's clearly some blue LEDs going on yeah when it lit up it's I don't know this looks extremely blue so I'd say I'd say go with that if you swap out the red memory kits and get cable extensions I think it will do wonders for the code I even say for like the GPU power cable just make that black I mean with the way that you have to sneak it up through that case you know it's gonna kind of stand out as you make it black just gonna blend in and when you look at through the window you don't really see the color of the sleeving anywhere else so if you do the black it's gonna kind of visually disappear more right yeah how is it that blue did you tend to this it's a pretty even blue no just the way the camera picked it up or maybe I mean who knows maybe this is a little Photoshop color tinting afterwards I'm not sure probably not bloom in the back okay but yeah there's that's Chris you swap out that mismatched memory cake get some cable extensions and its profit and tight next oh I don't say next shirt all right next up is David Rodriguez Habib who sends this over look a custom painted a CPU cooler looks like a custom painted windforce bracket here on the side of the wind force cooler some accents on the fan appears these are sleep decks tensions for your CX 750m memory matches a chipset heatsink on the motherboard obviously blue is what you're going for I here's what surprises me with some of these clearly some effort has been put into your custom painting has been going on but the power supply it still has all these green accents and I feel like painting this or painting this is a lot more effort than taking these stickers off true well are you getting back into the blue matching blue like if you want to repaint the RAM or the heatsink on the motherboard and maybe paint those closer to that color blue right yeah that could help there's a these are cougar fans apparently yeah I don't know what case is this do we know do we know anything more about this but I would also be conscious of what kind of paint you're using for that heatsink because unless it's like thermal conductive or whatever it could be impeding some performance and I'd be curious to see you know actually how much it does cuz you could very well just paint it with whatever like toys-r-us paint you find and if it's like a one degree or two degree difference then I guess that something is so bad but I would just double check to make sure that your temps are okay I would I would guess that he only paint at the top of it otherwise look at that almost from the side and it looks like you might have done the fins maybe that was a reason I don't hopefully not the fins I mean right just the top would have been enough obviously your fans are gonna hide the rest yeah it's just the top then there's less to worry about there but yeah I agree with fall completely take the green sticker off the power supply kill management's pretty good a blue yes everyone looks good I like I like all the drives you got in there this the system is filled out pretty well but yeah that's it's weird so much attention to detail but but the neglect of the power supply thing yeah very nice build there David thank you David and that's a pretty much as it's for Pitt my PC for today thank you guys for sending those in if you guys didn't get a chance to have your build featured I will be taking submissions next Tuesday when we do this again so thank you let's go ahead and move on to tech news yay tech news our first story is about micron and their new GDD are six and some more details that have come to light on that for one it's got twice the bandwidth of gddr5 and we can into specifics but first I mean what is GTR 6 it's it's a new it's a new form of video RAM essentially that's kind of made to compete with HP n because HP m has been really popular lately with the fury cards and AMD and stuff like that but GTA r6 obviously is a successor to gddr5 and the memory bandwidth essentially is anywhere from 10 to 14 gigabits per second now if you know your video card details nitty gritty stuff that's comparatively to 7 gigabits per second of four four gigabit gddr5 and eight gigabits per second data rate of eight gigabit gddr5 so based on the type of gddr5 you have that also affects the total memory bandwidth essentially we're getting about double the speed or double the bandwidth I can say with GD or six so are they I'm seeing two names for it here in the article gd-r gd-r v and a DDD r6 and gddr5 X is are they taking the gddr5 X and naming it GD v or six I don't know I didn't read that part of the article words are hard words are hard and I don't do them well so it appears it's doubling the prefetch buffer so that that's that's good yeah I think speed things up I guess I guess that is GG vr6 oh yeah it's maybe there maybe this is some slightly older material with new Neumann clay sure that they're using or something like that yeah but yeah so here's they've gotten a convenient chart here though you can see gddr5 is this green line which is flats 5x is a line moving up which means it's a guy rock alright so yeah I guess this is kind of nice for for next year since HBM 2.0 is not really it's still in development it's not quite ready yet so this will this will be this will make things interesting or maybe maybe more of a stop is it is it like a stopgap it's exactly 5 nh' p.m. okay so you read my notes better than I do pause okay thank you for that and that's all I have to say about that oh good yeah they're done things are done next moving on we've got battlefield 5 confirmed from dice this is actually exciting to some people but not everyone the next battlefield they are going to be so this is not battlefront it's a battlefield battlefield ok right so they just got done with battlefront essentially they just launched it and now surly oh yes deployed went off they went Activision ubisoft on that shit i should say but they're basically pulling back some of the resources that were poured into battlefront and they're reallocating them to the next battlefield that's coming up it's gonna be a return to the military settings so unlike battlefield hardline where you had kind of like cops and criminals type of thing if they kind of deviated from the from the norm of the franchise they're going back to the military setting which I guess is pretty expected and you can expect the game holiday 2016 unless unless there's any kind of future delays things like that that waterfowl this just this is this is annoying because it means that this is another game that we have to buy not really play just for benchmarking well good question you guys played battlefield before I did when it first came out for like a couple months and I completely dropped off I think I've ever actually played I have played a certain section of battlefield for many many many times I'm really good at 1la benchmarking so in the campus a horrible screenshot though what are they trying to show with the screen she looks like she G Chivas and some fog and we did all the things in this one if you needed to picture after this story to go along with speaking of gta5 the new DLC launched today Josh and I were watching some videos or earlier oh my goodness it looks amazing you can buy yachts like really really huge massive yachts now that have like two helipads on them forgive us without systems missile defense systems your own bartender all kinds of crazy shit in the new dlc we've got a trainee now it's got a dinghy a dinghy I mean SC I'm so poor and I know that that is I'll show you later all right hopefully it's but yeah let's go on to the next one it's it's about hackers threatening all the poor little console peasants out there it's a group called phantom squad and they are threatening to take down both PlayStation Network and Xbox Live get this on Christmas Day when little Timmy has just unwrapped his brand new console and was ready to play with all his friends and join the the console how is he a dick but they have to be a dick but they don't need to do that it goes down by itself yeah like I know don't you remember the hack it has better uh-oh all right this past year was was when it was when the consoles launched right yeah they launched its routine was that 2013 I've been out for two years yeah yeah I don't have either of them at least 13 really okay yeah memory yeah but I remember so that last year - like I'm Christmas everybody gets new presents and new things and all of the games never acquire some kind of download or patch or whatever right so yeah I remember reading a story last year about like all the all the people all the kids who got presents console presents on you know new game or whatever interests us presents got console presents console peasant presents Arab video very coming out there because it is got this right but yeah like oh then the network was just down because there's people oh that's my rap man yes and a urinary aid sorry fix me soul patch because you got to monetize yes go Brandi what's you've avoided sponsoring your shit so yeah I guess from my point is the Phantom Squad I feel like doesn't shit they shouldn't even need to do anything because maybe they're just trying to take credit for hacking because they know it's gonna go down yeah yeah yeah so yeah that's that's genius that's thing looks like the server airs like a new batteries not included of kids on Christmas morning you know it's like he's too good oh you know D batteries who the hell has D batteries on him all the stores are closed now it's like oh shit dad disturber with well son fucking I remember like getting a Wii U for for my wedding actually in August and I remember like my wife and I setting it up for the first time it took us like two and a half hours to dev download all the updates not just for the console but for the game that we had to and then finally get to play the freaking game only to realize the controller we had didn't work but you know that's there's a lot of uh there's like an entry to barrier or barrier entry there's a barrier yeah they're in a tunnel I do have a love a bear I don't know weird you're not strong tonight but yeah you know what I mean yeah you know the other thing that I think is is funny with this stuff is like like GTA right we were all planning to stream that when it came out and we all pre-loaded and then ii go to launch it like 15 gig up daily you guys have like two years to do this port we pre-loaded this stuff how did you do like 15 gigs worth of iraq in the past week and a half like what the hell but just making extra downloadable contact my day way to go to the store and pick up our dlc in patches uphill both ways on the flipside to - to - like i'm words my phone's ringing - it wasn't adam was that josh is just happy to see it's not a magical butterfly what i was trying to say is that I would I would like to praise rockstar and GTA for continuing to release content updates for the game which launched why - I don't know that or do you just get yeah however we were talking about that earlier though it's like our two little bitch asses like oh yeah you know and then we're like how much our shark cards again I know I'm going over to the dark side but I don't have ten million in game that I can buy say gosh that it but but you still make it an option sure you can spend money in the game but it's your choice and I will say that the games in the past that played the best example I can come up with is probably plants vs. zombies and Steve I still show Steve my plants vs. zombies game every now and then I have it on my phone I play it only when I like fly so every once in a while I'm like oh I'm gonna continue my plants translation when you're in the but I have spent zero dollars on the game and whenever the bedroom I spend zero dollars in the game and I've beaten like five or six is oh I don't know I'm very very far advanced in the game he's always like how do you do that I spent money and I was like I grinded ahead just kept playing yeah alright sorry yeah but yeah it's not pay to win and stuff but yeah like like Josh was saying it's it's almost like more a more evil genius move on Rockstar to the drug dealer to plate in front of you taste execs and then you see all your friends on their yachts but but how important is context in something like that it's like here you pay money and then you get this or here we're gonna make this available to you and you make up your own mind whether well I think that's that's where it's a better you know when he's term scheme the plan right because you kind of try before you buy like you know if you get money somehow if you sell your beard to Locks of Love and like I come over and play around in your yeah like this is awesome I want one now it's like you know it exposes it to a much larger audience that was just like yeah you get a yacht and you get an armored limo if you pay $25 for DLC right yeah so I agree with I like it it's just damn it's effective just piss off Paul I was gonna try to pre-order the DLC and pay twice market price for it and then ask them to add microtransaction to Corona somehow sabotage the entire Rockstar company and force them to be crappy genius alright so that's so there's that moving on to my last story for tonight it's about Edward Snowden he there was a document that was discovered from a very reputable source that claims that the NSA is using your motherboard to spy on you oh it definitely is spying on you as W CCF tech so boldly States how is this possible how does this how does this work well according to the document a vulnerability in your bios can actually allow it to be infected through its bootloader now there's probably a lot more to that than what I just said but it doesn't really go into too much detail of them that you really can't tell that you've been infected unless you have an expensive electron microscope so maybe that like that you get attached to your phone case that we were thinking about so that's all right totally fund that shit so unless you have super you know access to this crazy technology you won't know that you're infected God surge is the name of this newest malware that lets security person that will essentially monitor your activity when you're online actively but it can also track and log all the shit that you were doing while you were offline once you go back online so this is kind of scary I guess I don't know if it's Snowden just being paranoid not that he's ever paranoid about anything but it is also a concern and yeah and the vulnerability can actually be removed because it's embedded into your bias once it's there according to the doc cannot be removed unless you just straight up remove your motherboard and swap it out for a new one so so yeah what let us know if god surge pops up on your web browser or something it's like most BIOS is a little crash for Bo that's the fact of it the effect is that when you start to browse the Internet it'll pop up says you have god Serge that's how it works that's how it works Delta VG to consider it malware so this is some this article and I didn't read the whole thing I've glanced over it cuz I don't have much time but it seems it seems like they're talking about they're using different terminology here that's confusing to me like they're saying it's in your BIOS but then they're calling it malware like yeah that's but malware to me is something that resides like that software and the software level of operating system right so I don't know you need an electron microscope you can't look at how would I know with an electron that what's the other thing how does that work well I mean everything about this honestly reeks of like it's sensational isn't like okay so you go on and it's like Snowden doc reveals is definitely spying on you can we go down to the next thing it's like NSA can spy on you through your motherboards files now roll down to the last paragraph it could all be a ruse at the end of the day but bla bla right yeah but the few big bold headlines you had and the other 80% of the articles we're screwed I feel so suckered into writing about this article well dammit I will not and will not deny that I have had some concern and I think it is a legitimate concern that building hardware backdoors into the consumer electronics stuff that we use whether it's buying a computer prebuilt buying a laptop buying parts to build a computer that is something that I think may probably exist and and is something that sucks and we should be aware of it if possible and avoid if possible this specific report does not have enough substantiating evidence that there's no reason there ever yes it's kind of like this could be a thing on that thing in your computer that does stuff right yeah okay Alton all the good stories this week as you can see got all the good stuff there texted me to say he was gonna do that why waste a month Kyle but worth it so I Josh decided all of his best jokes and good material for my half of the show I'm spent aren't you aren't you guys but that's pretty much it for my half of the show guys is your auntie Kylie yes I am Emily you have like 12 minutes we got to fill 12 minutes okay I don't think anyone can stand another half another 12 minutes of JibJab lose just sit here awkwardly in just stare bags you want to we can read women's stories random stories and some questions of people yeah we actually look at the chassis what are we doing part one QA for this half of the show which we is unprecedented we've never done this but I also haven't checked I'm already making you questions in chat let us know and also feel free to ask Josh whatever all of his deepest darkest secrets about fractal design I'm sure he can share all of it with you and none of it is let me go and do the precursor I'm not available to speak about products that may or may not be in development blah blah blah yeah so when's the next global block coming out is have some more whiskey then whatever this may be yeah who knows he'll never tell so we knew he need more drinks out here as a drink right now Kyle tell us who won the graphics card I can't hey I look like a dippy Oh Diplo a Diplo I am a dad whoa here's a good question from comrade bunny X is that which sounds like a sexy Russian there's a fetish site for yourself is there planned awesome Hardware next week and actually yes Kyle and I already discussed this and we plan to continue awesome Hardware through the holidays forever and even through CES week yep that's our plan that's right now we're we're not I don't want to say absolutely for sure we might still wear matching sweaters and antlers reindeer antlers so we will be broadcasting next week same that time same bat-channel because that is the 22nd we will be broadcasting the week after that which is the 29th and this is only because these are removed by a few days from Christmas and New Year's on either side and even on the 5th which is Tuesday January 5th of 2016 we will be in Las Vegas yes but we're planning to do a Las Vegas awesome part where stream from Las Vegas the dear God why are we back in yes yes in Vegas here's a question from YouTube chat by pup shepherd who also donated $1 nice which thank you which is which made it stand out to me more I'm not gonna lie Josh do you do you do radio for that voice it's so amazing uh no I've done some voiceovers for our product videos but that's about it actually if you guys have ever seen the King's Speech fabulous movie he boy stop running every character in that movie but there's but there's a procedure that the guy who does of the radio for The King's Speech that he goes through before he talks you in the radio just like a little puppet thing and he does these vocal exercise Josh went through all of that just before we started the show just to make it look cash like I know this is my normal voice I just this is Rob thank God TED talk is over it's like hey I got ready for the pep talk you like it there it's like buttery molasses that was double jab 5/5 fans next hands are good have fans fans work honestly it just it's one of those things there's no like one best set up it kind of depends on what type of hardware you have you know what setup you're going for it I get questions a lot like is the define s a good case for airflow it's like or air-cooled build it's like well yeah cuz honestly to be a good liquid cooling case you got to have airflow so same sort of thing with define s it just might be more suited towards that so they are five it basically kind of comes down to you know positive or negative pressure I guess what are you going for there some people sacrifice a bit of airflow to have more of a positive pressure setup so they don't have the dust because it does also induces you know I guess heat problems there it's basically a blanket I mean I've seen people like that they fuss over there they're fans and then they don't dust their system out for three months yeah you dust your system out it's like oh crap but just drop eight degrees Lee it's a it's amazing how much that can affect you especially if you keep your system on the floor which I always recommend against don't do a quick aside here this is from James Parker who sent over on Twitter thank you James Parker for sending this he says you sure can this is referring to the electron microscope thing in the Snowden article we were talking about says electron microscopes can monitor binary data at the seeing what is running on the best oh I have no reason to think that that's not true so James I hope that is true and their ruse goes deeper Thunder pads yeah that's pretty nurseries you know yeah cool hey all you do the readings is you go to words yep Niccolo what's up saying how sweden girl says should i go for a gtx 970 or a 960 SSC I would say the 970 assuming price is comparable yeah yeah definitely jerky son says when you and Kyle I guess referring to you Josh made that no 202 commercial how many times did you crack up when he was just chilling on your couch and had that sexy voice needing those stale chips with that basic Netflix Cable basic basic there's a lot of details yeah well I I was kind of I guess you know I was filming at the time and I was kind of directing Josh he was doing a great job too but I think that was like they were in a fucking epic we were doing an it fucking epic job and as I think this towards the end of the day we were kind of tired and we were a few just like for some fucking Korean barbecue at that point I was like come on just get through the lines damn it like at first when we did that lets me see me start getting more like oh really cuz we thought we fuck we film the Porsche yeah no no - OH - right before that and that was like a few hours deep and we were having a really good time with that like yeah Heather can my wife can vouch for that but we were very efficient with that commercial I'm happy with how it turned out which another question would be how many times did we throw Heather out of the car and honestly three or four and like if you look her knees bloody that was probably her best like she I left how do they call you fell out really good but the problem was a sacrifice she didn't move far enough away from the car where could take off now fear of running her leg over I saw you consider like no we're going to run it again I run it again so no that was good she was a trooper on though yeah she was we need to give a huge shout out to reviews by Gary right now Kyle you need to give a huge shout out to review since this is on your youtube channel right now Gary what did you do he just dropped $25 into the donation pot thank you so much Gary you said enjoy enjoy a pizza on me way to go girl oh yeah there's little Gary I hope I get some thanks man I appreciate that lying bastards I'll be buying it early it's all good all right question for Josh from Andhra this seems legit if you have time how are the acoustic differences between the Defiant r5 with and without the side panel window you want to know go to our website we have like the define r5 we tested in the world's quietest room I did that with Austin Evans and it's not so much in the video but if you go to that landing page that it has there is a link to the actual ISO testing that we had to do which is government regulated testing I mainly did that so it wasn't like oh you guys nerf the test in your favor like we had to follow an obscene amount of parameters and they'll show you right in there we tested solid panel versus window panel the reality is there's no much difference at all less than one decimal difference it depends on the test in certain tests the window was actually quieted now there's a couple things there first of all I hear a lot of people call bullshit on that the difference is a like you know acrylic plexi stuff like that resonates and a different frequency than metal does so where you may get some more of your harmonic vibrations and sound signatures from a metal panel you don't have that same effect going with like an acrylic panel or window panel the other thing is we've worked quite a bit in the past on our window design just a bit and man this is furry so like we've spent a lot of time working our window design it's also about how you mount the window to the panel things like that that we've done and then something like why would you even go with the solid panel then well the solid panel still has the fan vent on the side so if you want direct air over your you know your GPU or something like that also surprisingly enough like we'll get tech support calls like hey I bought a window panel version I'd really just rather have like a solid panel they want to buy just the solid panels so you know teach their own there's some people don't want to look at the interior system maybe those are true it didn't do cable management but hope that answer your question but literally all the details aren't I mean it's like each one of those reports is something like a nine pages of like graphs and explanations and all that sort of stuff so I did it legit I spent a long time researching I had to read 182 page manual and just one of the tests to make sure that I understood how they wanted things to run so geez check that out hopefully that's a good tool to you and shows us understand what a bunch of marketing bullshit okay nice by the way huge shout out to when a co works as well for donating $5 have some beer with that Pizza he says nice Thank You Man I really
