all right so we're doing a QA today but it's gonna be a little bit different than we've done it before I actually tweeted the other day and asked you guys to ask me questions and I got like a hundred and eighty something replies so instead of sifting through all those to pick the four or five questions that make the most sense I'm just gonna run down as many as I can that way I can answer more of your questions and I haven't pre-screened any of these so it could get interesting here this video is sponsored by Squarespace I've been using Squarespace to host the channels official site and merchandise store for about two years now and compared to building a site from scratch the difference has been PC and console the clean UI makes it easy to create and customize content embed YouTube videos social media posts and add new items to our store a simplified all-in-one platform means you never have to install patch or upgrade anything and I can tell you firsthand there 24/7 customer support is better than most tech companies in the PC space they'll tell them I said that Squarespace has everything you need for your next domain website or online store head to squarespace.com for a free trial and when you're ready to launch and go to squarespace.com slash bit wit to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain well let's just start off with steel Sherrod do you and wifey sauce plan to have any big wood babies yes Sharon actually we do it's it's not happening anytime soon but eventually that I think that's on the bucket list for both of us so pretty soon you'll probably see a new mascot pop up for the channel and we haven't really decided on a name yet obviously I was thinking we could take it to a Twitter poll but wifey sauce seems pretty opposed to that idea for some strange reason snickers asks when will paul finish his HTPC build yes he's been lagging on this for a while but I'm gonna give Paul the benefit of the doubt at the rate things are going I would say 2035 Tanner asks our first generation rise and chips still worth it in 2018 heading into 2019 I I say yes I mean especially we can find a really good deal on one the price to performance there is still very solid of course second gen risin is gonna have better technology built-in for automatically overclocking itself but if you're gonna manually overclock anyway it doesn't really matter and you can save quite a bit of coin especially with all the holiday deals Black Friday deals coming up right around the corner JD tech dear Kyle when was the distinct moment that a career on YouTube could become a reality for you asking for a friend honestly I think it was maybe around the 10,000 subscriber mark when I had a very small but loyal fan base you know some repeat customers were like oh I recognize that guy in the comments people actually are coming back to my videos and I kind of had that as momentum to drive me forward and I thought you know if if I can do this I can do 20,000 if I can do 20,000 I can do 30,000 and then a hundred thousand and so forth and I think the sooner you realize that making a career on YouTube can be a reality the easier it is to sort of motivate yourself because you now see that goal as an attainable reality as a possibility as opposed to some abstract moonshot that you may never get to Rob Coleman Rob Coleman I don't know who you are but I just want to say that when and where did you and wifey sauce first meet it was my senior year in college I was a week away from graduating and some girl from my class who had the hots for me but the feelings were mutual invited me to a house party some bitchin house party it's still okay to say bitch and people still say that now I had nothing better to do on a Friday night so I show up to the party this girl immediately introduces me to wifey sauce who's the host of the party it was wife he sauces party she was quite the rager back then I'll have you know and I was like hey I like you you look like someone I would like after that introduction we kind of just went our separate ways and didn't talk for the rest of the party until the very end when I mustered up enough liquid courage to finally strike up a conversation with her we kind of hit it off and we added each other on Facebook right afterwards that's how you know we were really into each other and then the next day or two I think I asked her out on a date and the rest is history fun fact wifey sauce and that girl are no longer friends G Jones would you rather fight one hundred duck-sized Paul's or one Paul sighs duck damn and a pulse Paul's a relatively big dude he's bigger than me it's cuz I'm small mostly so I don't know one Paul sighs duck sounds just like fighting Paul I don't know if Paul can be a duck sometimes I don't know what that means but I'm sure it's true sometimes one hundred duck-sized Paul's however not only sounds less intimidating but also much more adorable so I'm going to go that route mister man is a boy what is your quest I seek the ground scrub killer looks versus performance performance first always always always performance first looks after Toledo's wood soy sauce cool a PC or no very back tile stress hime who would win in a fight between a grilled cheese and a taco that is a trick question because the grilled cheese is already grilled so victory point taco rare one asks are the GPU prices low enough for me to build a PC yet or should I wait longer if so how long GPU prices as far as this year of 2018 is concerned have never been lower it's a great time to buy a GPU comparatively to the last few months however we've got our TX coming out so who knows if the 10 series cards are gonna drop in price at all and as I mentioned earlier we've got Black Friday and holiday deals right around the corner so if you can hold out till then I would definitely say it's worth checking out what those retailers have to offer aj Sarah chena if you have two SSDs one faster than the other which should you install windows on windows files take up a lot of space so is it better to save the faster storage for applications that might need it more now this kind of depends on the needs of the user and the limitations of the system but as a rule of thumb I typically use the fastest drive for my operating system because apart from the OS I'll usually install my frequently used applications like my web browser my suite of Adobe software and so forth and I want that to feel a zippy and snappy as possible so let's say I'm using a blazing fast nvme SSD for my boot drive I'll then use my slower storage may be in the form of a mechanical hard drive or SATA based SSD for all of my backup and media files my games other files that I don't necessarily use on a regular basis and bear in mind those drives tend to be a lot cheaper than the faster alternatives so you can definitely scale up in the capacities that you might need for your secondary and tertiary drives 2 - 4 - how would someone go about moving Windows 10 off a hard drive onto an SSD and keep the hard drive as a game drive do you just clone the drive because there's more data on the hard drive then there is space on the SSD making it difficult to simply clone the drive please help if at all possible I would just do a clean install of Windows onto your SSD that's gonna be the easiest option with the least amount of fuss if you can't do that for some reason then I would probably get an external drive and transfer all of the non-windows files from your hard drive over to that external drive clone your hard drive and then reload the image onto your SSD you should be good to go at that point good luck and Godspeed Steve and Maria asks what's your favorite color and manufacturer of key switches well back in 2012 my first mechanical keyboard was a coolermaster CM storm trigger featuring Cherry MX brown switches and I've loved those switches to death ever since I really liked the tactile bump without the clicky obnoxiousness of Cherry MX blues and the amount of resistance is just perfect for my taste so I'm gonna say Cherry MX brown Taylor Martin tweets in my H 100 V 2 from Corsair stopped working yet in the BIOS and in cue it says it's there any suggestions on what it could be now when you say it stopped working I'm guessing you mean that it's no longer doing an effective job of cooling your CPU if that's the case it's very possible that your pump on that unit has died and fluid is no longer being sent to the loop which is resulting in CPU overheating now obviously this is a serious hardware failure but I'm guessing your aao is still plugged into your motherboard somehow maybe via USB 2 or something like that and so it's still being recognized technically by the BIOS and the cue software at any rate you should stop using your system in its current state until you get the cooler replaced or swapped out for a good alternative well hot damn I feel like we only answered a fraction of the questions here but my throat's getting a little sore honestly and you guys are probably sick of me anyway at this point so I'm gonna cut things off here
