well I can only hope this is working because honestly it's been a bit of a been a bit of a challenge to set up tonight I had to move locations and I've completely changed the way that I'm doing the whole live capture thing so traditionally I mean I can't really call it traditional if I've only really been doing this for a month but traditionally I've been using a shuttle PC actually I'm gonna go let me go find it because I'm like super mad no some phones going off right here this one so this is a z68 shuttle PC it's got dual PCI Express slots so it's got a 16 X and a 4x so I was like oh HDMI capture PC and then like it'll be awesome because it'll be super portable like awesome and stuff and now what ended up happening is with my Blackmagic intensity Pro HDMI capture cards uh yeah it was it was causing blue screens it was causing just general incompatibility like I would I would know that I had the settings right and then it just wouldn't work at all and it ended up that the problem was actually the to some kind of maybe a PCIe timing and compatibility or something like that and it just did not work so what I did was I threw the to capture cards into a different motherboard in this case it's in a PhD 77 v premium and everything is working a hundred percent fine and I really hope that this stream is working this is my first time checking on twitch to make sure it's actually going and it looks like it is so yay excellent um crank up the volume crank up the volume is a it's not a consensus crank up the volume and yes I'm sorry I'm late guys I'm very sorry I yeah was having some trouble that was not good okay some people are saying volume is good some people are saying volume is low so I'm gonna go ahead and turn it up a little bit I'm just gonna turn up a little bit okay the camera audio level here we go okay all right so I'm gonna try talking again how's that sound to you guys so we good we good all right yes I know there's an echo you know what too bad there's nothing I can do I'll all my ears people are either saying bad kid you know what forget it you guys I'm leaving it the way it is just turn your volume down it's really hard right yes I know the echo is terrible I'm 100% aware of that trust me the reason that the echo is terrible is that the room I'm in has okay you know I'm just gonna I'm just gonna go over to the camera here and I'm gonna show you guys the room I'm in and hopefully I'll be able to actually fix Mia here I'm just gonna change the camera completely to auto mode because I know nothing of how cameras work I can't I can't even I can't even find me I can't even find the auto mode button yeah there it is camera auto mode okay so I'm going to show you guys the room that I'm in I'm actually going to turn this way so this is a bare wall this is a hardwood floor these things are bad for Echo very bad that's my drying machine and that's my cat carrier Rumble had to go to the vet today he's been throwing up so that's not good here's my video exception hmm here's my light here is the room that's on the other side of the camera so if you guys have watched any of my recent videos you may recognize you know this table and there's always gear sort of lying around here this table this fireplace and couches so yeah see these though bare walls and dude that looks like a carpet but ah more hardwood flooring so the problem with hardwood flooring is that it is very terrible for echoes so I had a lot of people suggest in the video that I that I uploaded before with didn't do with the new set that I wear a lapel mic and what those people apparently didn't seem to notice is that I was wearing a lapel mic so while I appreciate the suggestion I'm just gonna get the focus right here well I appreciate the suggestion what they should have noticed and all the hi-def glory that was the the new style video of setup I had a lapel mic on my shirt so the lapel mic doesn't dress the issue of the of the sort of the echo because it's it's not a shotgun mic that's so far away from me but it does not address the problem where if I'm turning to one side or turning to the other side the volume changes up and down so what I really want to do is get a boom mic set up so that it can sit kind of just under the shot right here so I can use a shotgun mic that's very close to me but then not have to worry about about which direction I'm facing exactly in order to get some kind of even lighting guard even lighting even microphone sound going on sorry guys it has actually been the longest week ever and hopefully at some point I'll be able to share with you guys exactly exactly what was going on but yes it's been very very tough people are asking for the warehouse sale preview so the only the only thing can think of right now is that if I were to upload the warehouse sale preview then I'm just a little bit concerned that it will affect the streaming here that's going on so why don't we just try it and see what happens so the warehouse sale preview is just on my SD card here you guys can you guys can come along for the ride if you want see this is my new way of switching between camera B's see I can switch here so you can see I'm gonna go into my SD card and I'm gonna upload this and you guys are gonna have to let me know in the twitch chat hopefully if that just has totally destroyed the streaming are we still good we're still good okay sweet looks like no one's complaining yet so NCI acts October 20th warehouse sale extravaganza see this is visit uploaded videos so it's actually not not rocket science this whole YouTube thing you just gotta sort of keep at it and make lots and lots and lots of videos so visit this link for more I spelled it wrong for more details whoa so I actually had a guest film B via warehouse sale preview if you guys aren't familiar with what the warehouse sale is the warehouse sale basically refers to and once every quarter or so look try to switch there we go once every quarter or so NCIX takes all the open box stuff and hopefully this gives you guys some idea what happens to some of the open box stuff that that I open up so they take all the open box stuff put it all into like a big room and then sell it for like half price so people line up all night in fact I was there at 7 p.m. I was at the office today and people were already lined up for the warehouse sale which starts tomorrow morning so people get super super excited about all this stuff people are asking how long the livestream is for the livestream is going to be until ten-thirty my times it'll be about an hour and a half so far why don't we take some time and do some do some Twitter questions so I'm not sure how well this is going to work tonight because I'm oh this is gonna be a problem okay you know what we're gonna have to do is we're gonna have to rely on Twitter on this screen here because because I'm using two computers to capture as opposed to how I'm normally using a single computer to capture and use Twitter so see I I'm using this laptop for my own view I I could not figure out a way like you can use xsplit to capture a portion of the screen on the computer that you're actually using but you cannot use xsplit to capture a portion of the screen or a portion of a video in stream if you guys understand what I mean because I'm using HDMI out on this notebook into a capture card on the computer over there and then what I would want to do is take the Twitter portion here which you guys can see on the right and then draw a box around that and make it so that I can overlay that on top of me sitting here and talking sort of like this except that that Twitter feed right there is actually on the computer over there between I actually can't read it from here nor can I control it unless I had a wireless keyboard in us you know what a better solution might actually be instead of using a laptop here just get a wireless wireless keyboard and mouse and a monitor and sit here like that so that I can not and then I'll just clone the displays and then I'll be able to monitor things more more closely I think that'll be a better solution in the future but we're learning things every weekend at least we've got the awesome new camera to use I actually haven't done any fine-tuning with the lights today I think I look a little bit washed out but I've got diesel coming over this weekend and he's gonna be giving me a big hand with all of the fact that I don't know how to use a camera and he'll be he'll be getting everything all fixed everything you guys saw shot already so all of the all of like the new set new set stuff so let's go back to the youtubes oh that's what happens if you spell YouTube wrong all right then I'm lucky I didn't end up look like a porn website because I think that this live stream is supposed to stay pretty pretty family-friendly so if you guys haven't already seen any of the new set footage yes I know it's not really my style and I know it's like kind of a little bit too professional for for a lot of the viewers tastes but it's something that I do have to do for a variety of reasons which will become more clear later and it's something that yeah wow that just looks kind of that looks kind of terrible I'm gonna have to start wearing makeup which is which is sort of brutal it's something that I do want to continue to work on but I needed easels help in order to get the production values right and in order to just kind of make it better in general we didn't have nearly as much time as I would have liked to spend on that Galaxy Note 10.1 video but what I'm gonna try and do is play around with it a little bit this week I've actually got something really cool you guys you guys might even you guys might even really like this check this up so here's the power adapter super small power adapter this is what I'll be playing around with this weekend this notebook carrying case is the ultimate accessory for your notebook you should by now I'm just kiddin by the way today what I do have though is a Windows 8 touchscreen notebook from Samsung this is a series 5 so what that means is that once you boot it up hopefully the boot up time you know let's find out how quick the boot up time is because that's one of the big things about Windows 8 is dramatically improved boot up times let's see if we can like see the camera through the screen home is it don't worry wants me to activate Windows ok go to PC settings and then maybe I'll just go away from PC settings haha and I can use it so this is the not natural interface that's how quickly Windows 8 boots up this is a multi-touch touchscreen notebook one of the things I've noticed about it already and I'm a little bit disappointed in is the viewing angle so what I find is that really expensive touchscreen interfaces like the ones Apple uses like the ones that Asus uses on their very high-end products still have phenomenal viewing angles so you can be looking at it from like you know here I'll hold up to the camera you can be looking at it from like this angle and you'll still be able to make everything out really well it's like an IPS panel and the touchscreen doesn't obscure it but what I've noticed about this one is whether it's due to the fact that it's a TN panel or whether it's due to the touchscreen interface watch watch what happens with the watch problems with the viewing angle here as I tilt it up so you see you actually don't have to get that low and the image almost disappears entirely all the color washes out of it from the top down is is not nearly as it's not nearly as noticeable from the sides you lose all the color but the image tastes there either way I'm mostly just excited about the idea of sort of having the option of using a keyboard and a touch screen at the same time I did an NCIX tech tips about this whole sort of touchscreen keyboard hybrid thing that's going on and I'm actually not sure if that one's uploaded yet let's have a quick look here yeah windows 8 gestures guide and I also did I also did another one so NCIX Windows 8 so here I'm showing sort of how that how the experience is going to go this one's really old yes this one no I can't say that I'm entirely sold like that like I've been playing around with it a fair bit this one was uploaded on September 21st so I've been I've been tinkering with this for over a month and while I am sold on the idea of touchscreen with Windows 8 and and having a keyboard handy what I don't like and I don't know if you guys can see my mouse pointer here I'm just gonna turn the quality down so that so that doesn't kill the bandwidth here but I don't know if you guys can see my mouse pointing here but you see the keyboard okay so the keyboard has a certain tournament oh okay let's just find a shot okay so the keyboard has a certain distance from the monitor you never have unlike with a laptop you never have a monitor right like right up against your keyboard no one no one uses a computer like that I mean here I'll point you at this one to show you sort of look this is what I consider to be a more you know what you're not really even gonna be able to see that there's a there's a keyboard there and there's a monitor so that's what it gives it to be more normal plus when you're sitting at a desk and you're you know desktop experience kind of computer usage model you typically have some room between the desk and yourself so what I discovered playing around with the touchscreen monitor is that I actually end up far enough away that it's not really comfortable so it's very comfortable to use a device with your arm like they can't think of the ergonomics of it so you got your arm kind of been kind of like this so you got that sort of 100 degree 110 degree angle and that's how you would typically use a touchscreen device if you're extending any further than that to reach the monitor then you're gonna have a lot more fatigue I mean it's like leverage right the further up the weight is away from your shoulder joint and your elbow the more pressure there's gonna be on it so if you're like this it's very comfortable if you're like this it's actually quite uncomfortable so with a notebook experience I think this is a lot more exciting because here I'm gonna kind of put this know I can't quite do that okay I'm gonna put this here because with the notebook experience you're sitting this far away from it which means I can reach it with what I'd consider to be that optimal arm Bend without it being uncomfortable so I'm not I mean yeah no one knows what the future holds in terms of Windows 8 and the adoption rate and what its gonna mean to to to everyone but I can tell you guys I have already found myself once in a while sort of reaching towards the screen of my computer and realizing it's not a touchscreen because I'm so used to using a smartphone and a tablet people are asking for Q&A so I think it's time to do some Q&A here let's go ahead and switch to the Twitter feed which come on really really kind of not okay Twitter here we go guys one new tweet really that can't be right am I not signed in oh I'm not signed in well that won't work - tech and what is my password so that's it and that is apparently not it which is sort of bizarre because I changed it like two minutes ago because I wasn't able to sign in and I'm very very sure that that's the correct password so you guys are going to have to I'm sorry but you're gonna have to bear with me here for a second while I reset my password which is ridiculous Oh brilliant I was like oh my goodness this is a total disaster because I couldn't even switch back to my I can even switch back to my regular feet here it really has not been it has not been my week I've slept very little and it's been very very challenging I mean yeah I'm sure you guys have I'm sure you guys have definitely definitely had weeks like that before uh-huh okay now they're gonna send me a message apparently at least I hope so because I'd love to do some Q&A right now that's sort of usually pretty simple to do now I'm just stalling for time I have people asking about my shirt before they think it's an everyday I'm shufflin shirt but actually it's a badminton joke and the badminton joke is everyday I'm shuttling see so it's like badminton shuttles and then he's holding a badminton racket so it's slightly different but it's just a bit of a it's a bit of a joke based on the the party rock anthem' song that pretty good if you're into that sort of thing hmm no no it's really really really not gonna let me in to Twitter right now which is phenomenally frustrating so it's asking me to enter my phone number hold on this is this is not good this is not good so here this is how it's supposed to work I'm supposed to type my username and click Submit and ah there we go this time it worked awesome so we'll be live in just a moment with more Q&A let me see if there's hope oh oh we're good we're good Tyrion cereal and we are done so I am very sure that I'm entering the password that I think I'm entering this time and if it manages to not accept this password again I'm going to be very very disappointed all right Kinect time for tweets can you tell us all what laptop that is and what's inside it actually I have no idea what is inside this laptop right now at this moment I I do know that it's a Samsung laptop it's a series 5 it comes with Windows 8 it has ok this is driving me absolutely crazy the range isn't quite right on this stupid Bluetooth thing it has um something yeah it's a serious 5 it has USB 3 I mean it's pretty similar to the existing series 5 which is the end something 540 U and then this is the NT 5 14 which is touched funny story though is this notebook actually has an enormous scratch down the back panel you see that because Samsung has been taking it around to a wide variety of trade shows so what I actually had to do in order to shoot my video showcase of the notebook and had it not look phenomenally stupid is I grabbed a uh I grabbed a 540 U and then I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna pretend that the back of that notebook is the back of this notebook and then the front of this notebook but is the back of the other one so that's uh that's my little trick the kinds of things that go on behind the scenes right uh here so let's switch back to the Twitter feed what video card manufacturer would you say is best for a novice well whether you're a novice or an experienced whatever it is that you are so maybe you mean your novice buyer novice gamer I don't know doesn't matter video card manufacturer is just whoever manufactures your video card so guys like EVGA seuss msi these are all very good choices XFX if I had to pick sort of my top four those would be them it's very hard to go wrong with any of those guys at all make the best gaming PC under six hundred bucks really guys I get a lot of questions about what is sort of the best option for a PC for a given price range and what I usually end up mean honestly guys I get literally hundreds of messages every day and people are often asking these sort of long complicated questions I don't have time and it's really not that hard to find out what's a good option for a pre-built PC really really let's go because you guys as you probably know I work at NCIX so you click buy a PC you click gaming okay you want $600 you go to value gaming you find a computer that's $600 that was probably configured by the crazy Russian so there you go core i3 GTX 650 OC working studio three memory 500 gig hard drive and got some premium you want to spend a little okay don't get down there no one sucks but yeah there you go best i3 30/10 what I would probably do is I would consider changing that geforce card over to something like a seventy seven seventy I find it to be a little bit of a better value or spend a little bit more and get a 650 Ti but yeah I mean when it comes to choosing a configuration find a configuration send it to me and I will happily go through it and make any suggestions but I can't take questions like Linus what's the best gaming PC for 1400 I'm great britain pound we're just kind of like okay well hey I don't work in that frequency I have no freakin idea how much things cost and then B it's like well do a little bit of a legwork put together something you think is right send it over to me and I'll say things like Oh spend more on the video card maybe drop down the cpu get a better power supply and that case is way too expensive for the other components you're buying dump that back into getting more performance and then grab an SSD or something along those lines I'll give you an idea how to tweak the machine in order to get the best value out of it Sonny asks what do I think about Intel's Haswell architecture how much of an important question we expect over Ivy Bridge right now I can't think anything about it as well because Haswell is not out right now so there's not a whole lot for me to say I mean it's Intel so my expectation is pretty solid it's gonna be I believe this is this a talk or a tick can't remember but this is an actual architectural shift whereas Ivy Bridge was just a process shrink so it's probably gonna be somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 to 20 percent performance improvement and that's that's sort of that's sort of it it's pretty much always like that and then Andy will fall even further behind which for those of us who who really enjoyed the Athlon 64 era when AMD basically revolutionized the whole gig it's sort of sort of saddening in video 650 TIR Radeon 7770 I don't game a lot I just want something better than my xbox personally I'd probably go 650 ti out of those two I do I do find the nvidia experience a little bit better for certain things if you did want to go multi-monitor then I go AMD however if you're gonna go multi-monitor then a 77 70 is the wrong choice anyway because it's way underpowered for a multi-monitor setup okay ah Danny says how are you liking your German car why did you choose a Volkswagen over another Honda good question I did not my wife's car is the Volkswagen Rabbit and my car is the Honda Civic the only reason that we've switched vehicles is because her car is a two-door and mine's a four-door and because she's on maternity leave with the baby she's usually the one driving in places which means it's a lot more convenient to load the car seat into the backseat of a car that is a four-door as opposed to a two-door it's you're not allowed to put baby car seats in the front seat at least here in Canada anyway due to the regulations and laws and whatnot so so that's that's why the that's why we ended up going that route chill she's gonna want her car back at some point shane asked are you going to do an unboxing of the new AMD piledriver chips when they come out what do you think of them i actually have already done more than an unboxing slicks running a whole bunch of benchmarks and whatnot and we've got performance numbers against the previous generation and e-chips and that's all gonna go up on the NCIX comm channel on launch day which is sometime next week if I recall correctly friends fresco asks is not a playboy mousepad which I would answer yes indeed it is this is a funk pad this is a 1030 archetype this thing is one-of-a-kind as far as I know because funks whole thing funk was actually a local vancouver company their entire manufacturing was like down the street from NCIX and this was something that was produced as a one-off for a former employee of NCIX he had the he had the misfortune to leave it in my sight for long enough but I managed to snag it actually he he he moved he moved to our Ontario office and left it behind in his PC office which I inherited so I totally snagged the the one-of-a-kind unique playboy mousepad for myself it's actually an excellent most pad to that's the difference between this and like most promotional mouse pads which are usually crap because any kind of a graphic on a mousepad unless it's a really good surface it's just gonna just destroy the tracking I mean I love a cool-looking mousepad there's a great picture on it as much as the next guy but unless they do a perfect job of the surface itself it's going to every time you cross one of those light to dark barriers pretty much no matter how good your mouse is it is going to jump or skip or pause or something bad something bad will happen a great example of this is the the gamepad's that Intel was giving away with one of their recent promotions so I'll I'll see if I can help come on fullscreen I'll see if I can find these game pads because they're cool they're really big they're really big they look that's sort of bizarre but they're really cool they're huge and they had this great graphic of like some guy who's like fantastic but you couldn't they couldn't attract for crap and I couldn't even use them unfortunately but an example of someone who does do it right would be steel series so most of their mouse pads that I've had experience with anyway with complicated graphics on them such as the what's that badass dragon Warcraft I don't know some dragon was on the front of some most paddock Trek great and like their Diablo 3 qck also is fantastic so they do a pretty good job of that as well let's have a look at some more tweets shout out to Scottish people okay you bet family friendly yes I'm family friendly what do you think this is the most I'm using right now is not a d600 I'm actually not not quite sure what to think of the g600 I spend a little bit of time with it when I first got it and what I noticed is that it doesn't it doesn't feel quite as twitchy responsive as my d9 really like the g9 really like the iqari laser I really like the Razer Naga although the economics aren't great for me but the sensor feels really good feels really tight really responsive whereas with the with the g600 I don't know what it is it's very accurate like I can decide where I want the pointer to be I can move in it's there but it just feels like it took a little bit longer and no amount of tinkering with the DPI or installing the drivers are playing around with it really fixed it for me it's just a personal preference thing I'm very picky about mice so so yeah no I'm not in the g600 although I was playing around with it yesterday but I it hasn't it hasn't managed to make its way on to my actual punch my actual system desk although my actual system is in so many pieces right now but check this up I actually have pieces of my desktop machine right here right here for your for your enjoyment and taunting during this very livestream see here's their view of my boot drives and then these are the rest of my boot drives so if you guys don't already know I have an 8 drive raid 0 for my for my boot drive on my desktop machine so that's a total of just shy of a terabyte of SSD storage I have them all in raid 0 I know that seems unwise but I'm doing nightly backups and I also don't really keep anything of value on my computer all of my storage is actually done through through Windows Home Server so all I do is I just access over the network everything that I could possibly need I have a gigabit network in my home so it's not like it's any slower than a mechanical hard drive I mean think about this for a second guys gigabit is basically for sort of stupid math 1/10 as around 100 megabytes per second so what that means is that a hard drive which is capable of ok sustained maybe a little higher maybe 160 hundred and 80 megabytes per second and that's an internal hard drive so on the other end of that gigabit pipe I have an enormous raid 6 hooked up to a very fancy RAID controller card that is actually going to give better responsiveness than a single internal hard drive even though the max bandwidth is a little bit lower so for me browsing files on my network storage and I know people seem to kind of get bored when I when I talk a lot about network storage and whatnot but you know what guys it is so awesome I mean it's totally responsive I can go into any archive unboxings and I can just play things over the network just like this it does not take any longer than it does if I'm storing the files locally also it prevents me from running into situations where I have multi copies of my files all over my house and I'm duplicating what I would otherwise be able to store in all one place so people are people are bored bored yon bored lightest go on Twitter not that's what the twitch chat is saying so you you you got you guys you guys are killing me here fine I'll do more Twitter questions so why would you would you use an AMD a10 1500 I would use an i5 35 70 out of all of those options for a computer that is going to use to fix photos for eBay that's the only use for this computer I would use a sempron I wouldn't I try not to overthink it too much okay any good mice that are left-handed or can be used left-handed that you know of yeah steal serious has a couple of good ones the sensei is probably the best option for an ambidextrous Mouse that has a fantastic sense or good software and let's move along to the next Twitter question no I haven't had a chance to use the Phoenix necesita mouse haven't used the Razer Ouroboros either I haven't even heard of that have big hands like small mice live on Vancouver Island so staples is the only real testing place for mice best smaller Mouse if I was buying a smaller Mouse today you know what the g9 is really not that big so that might be an option for you if you take a lot of the weight out of it it has the removable removable weight cartridges inside so I don't know if you guys if I use to g9 before but once you take me out once you take the outer the outer shell off it actually comes with a smaller outer shell as well but then you can actually take out the weight cartridge and it's really not that heavy it's super heavy once you put all the weights on it but that might be a good option for you other than that if you play an e mmoes or if you would have any reason to use the macro keys of Razer Naga is an excellent Mouse I really really like it okay and here's a good question so can you explain raid I would love to explain rate for you here's how I'm gonna do it youtube.com/ let's see let's let's actually you know what there's no doubt let's try raid hard drive or something like that let's try key word that might work because rates gonna have lots of other stuff oh I feel okay let's try raid - really oh it brings up a bunch of Linux such as dead for raid - come on you can do it there we gotta see raid 0 and raid 1 set up guy preview of a raid build SSDs and raid I think there's another one that I did on raid 5 and 6 there there's raid 5 and raid 10 tutorial ok apparently I didn't cover raid 6 but yes I have covered explaining raid in pretty good depth on a number of occasions so you definitely want to check out those videos but in summary raid is using multiple drives together in order to achieve either better data security or better speed lata row as tuggin is the FX 6100 what I have to say about AMD's product stack is that it is priced appropriately I saw a really interesting news article where someone was talking about how holy crap am these new chips because there's there's lots of leaks in terms of pricing and performance on stuff holy crap and these new chips are gonna be priced like super low they're coming in at a very very aggressive price and although how exciting is this and my response to that is whenever you hear anything about pricing for an upcoming video card or an upcoming CPU what that should tell you is how well it performs because aim he's not stupid Intel's not stupid and videos not stupid they take their new products and they go ok so ok this is one of the competitors product is here at $200 and this is where the competitors product here is at a hundred dollars and we know our chip performs about here so the price of $150 it's not rocket science you can probably extrapolate the performance of any upcoming part based on the rumors about pricing well before it ever comes out so there you go how good is an FX 6100 it is exactly hem FX 6,100 it is exactly $100 good which in terms of sort of equivalent to what you'd see on the intel side is sort of like you know core i3 level and honestly that's that's probably about where it falls the exceptions being heavily threaded workloads for example diesel is now using an fx-8150 in his rendering machine and he says it has made a big difference for him over as existing he had AK you get either a Q sixty six hundred or a Q 9550 said it's been like an awesome like phenomenal upgrade for him because all those threads is great for doing things like color correction post-processing and all the fancy hoo-hah that he's but he's usually working on any good ergonomic gaming keyboards honestly not really the whole economic keyboard thing is kind of fallen out of vogue lately I had a Microsoft natural back in the day I loved it but there's not really anything specifically for gaming why a slips identity such a closely guarded secret honestly it's not really I mean people have people have seen him there's footage of slick on YouTube it says it's as difficult as going like this slick - slick revealed bago first hit and well that's slick with a bag on his head but this is I think this is slick filming something at one of the at one of the live events that we've done so yeah it's not really that big of a secret it's just one of those things we're generally speaking like think about it you go to see a play do the people who like run out and move the set around do they do they have a spotlight on them do they show their faces not really it's just how it's done when you're part of the crew you're supposed to I mean diesel close it show black you're supposed to wear black so that you're not going to get caught in the reflections you're supposed to stay out of the flexions you're supposed to be quiet because otherwise you're gonna you're gonna ruin the shot and you're not supposed to be making the show run not necessarily starring in the show however I think slick is actually considering using the the twitch channel here to potentially use some gameplay streaming videos and let you guys I'll play some games with them and stuff so I'll bug them about that but I think it'll have to be sometime after after he's done his exam so slick still a student just like Etzel they actually both go to school at the same place so so yeah once he's done those exams then we'll be having a different conversation shoutout from Manila okay can do yeah no I'm not doing I'm not doing the ABCs backwards in ASL I already show what I know how to do it now I'm a cheap laser on your camera so you know if it's filming in the right position instead of checking back on your monitor that is interesting what I'm actually checking on the monitor is whether my switching is working or not so uh good suggestion love it but but the the reason I'm doing that is actually slightly different from from what's going on because the the wireless link between this thing is actually not that good in fusion says we have the same mouse I love my g9x I actually have a g9 but you know close enough you tried really hard that's good what do you think is better Big Bang X power or rampage v extreme out of those two I would probably well Big Bang X power is an X 58 board for one thing so I think you mean the Big Bang X power - I would personally go around page five extreme for one reason and that's because it's actually still in a standard ATX late whereas the Big Bang X power 2 is as an excel ATX length and really doesn't fit in a lot of cases I mean there are cases it fits in but I I like the Silverstone tjo 7 I like not being locked to sort of 5% of the cases that are out there because of the length of my motherboard I prefer going the other way around do you think the 650 Ti is a good bang for the buck yeah it's good um do you think it'd perform well as an eg PU electronic GP maybe he means external GPU with one of those enclosures not quite sure what he means by a GPU so I tried I tried how the time-pressured extreme PC building and modding contest would slick against Logan and his team you know what probably not a bad idea that kind of thing would be very very fun so I'm not gonna say that that's not something that will happen in the future speaking of things that will happen in the future I don't know if you guys are familiar with the PC / podcast or if you're familiar with PC / in general so the PC perspective is a website on the Internet's and they have a podcast and will actually be making a guest appearance on that podcast next week so if you guys want to tune in that's cool if you don't want to tune it honestly that's cool too it doesn't really make that much of a difference to me so that'll be on the 25th I believe it's every Thursday I don't even know what time it is I think it's around noon my time so so noon my time is whatever time it is your time get a world clock you know what there's a widget in Windows so you just like add that time zone clock to your to the side of your thing then you won't have to much too much trouble with that moving right a lot more and I've knocked over my keyboard that I use for switching I'm like a rock star today this is amazing you use many different web browsers including opera yes I do the reason I do that is because I have many different Google accounts and while you can now although I don't believe you used to be able to do it well you can add additional Google accounts signed in under the same browser I find it actually less convenient to use it that way than to just have five different browsers that are all logged into five different Google accounts and just kind of remember I mean I remember Firefox is for Linus and NCIX Internet Explorer is for Instax tek-tips Chrome is for Linus tech tips Safari is for Linus cat tips and then opera is sort of a utility one if I need to log into one of my other variety of gmail accounts hmm use 69 50 or new 7870 you know what I probably go with the new seventy eight seventy seventy eight seventy is a great value these days and it can overclock like like a boss George says it's the first time tuning in live thank you for tuning in live George I appreciate it very very much what would you recommend for cheap and efficient power supply you know what you've probably narrowed it down to one of the best choices out there a lot of people ask me for power supply advice and then totally ignore me they ask me for power supply advice and I say get a high efficiency six fifty five fifty seven fifty watt power supply and they kind of go home - what do you think of this 1000 watt 80-plus platinum and I kind of go well it's a good power supply but based on the configuration you showed me it's gonna suck 250 to 300 watts from the wall maximum you're actually going to be getting worse efficiency out of a higher capacity power supply than you would out of a lower capacity one it's not about buying the biggest power supply it's about buying the most optimized power supply so if you're getting a single GPU gaming rig and ei 650 Platinum is actually an excellent choice way to go Wow GD your son Getti your son give you your son I don't know if anyone can pronounce that you get three points on the Internet's I'm interested in network storage that's fantastic Andre Asst Jorah dusts best silent fans I get this question a lot because I'm a bit of a silence door not to uh F where is it not - there you go buy this just buy it and be done with it this is an amazing fan it is just amazing in every way it sends the air where you want it to go it has awesome static pressure it just it's just magical if you hate the color scheme there are other options out there BitFenix Spectre pros are pretty good Delon wings are pretty good be quiet fans I've heard excellent things about and the one that I checked out was was excellent as well so there are other options if you have soul safe gentle typhoons are awesome as well most of them you're gonna have to under bolt the knock to us come with all the adapters you need to run them super quiet and I'm just so impressed with not to a every day all day every day that I just recommend it any time someone asks me for the best silent n what's your thought on dual radiators and a water-cooled build and what kind of heat would it require for them to be useful honestly you can take advantage of a dual of RAD with just a CPU loop single rads are not good enough and it's a it's pretty simple physics to be perfectly honest because heat dissipation is all about surface area and I'm sorry I'm kind of walking away because I'm trying to figure out if I have a heatsink anywhere around here but I can show you guys so heat dissipation is it surface area and then you have fans applying moving air to that surface area to carry the heat away so what that means is that if you have a radiator that has less surface area than a heat sink then it should stand to reason that the performance of said radiator will actually be less than a heat sink people ask me all the time about like Corsair h-60 age 60 great product mix your system look tinier it looks nice it has water in it it doesn't perform nearly as well as tons of air coolers on the market because it's so little surface area oh what it does do is it removes a fan from your system although it adds a pump so it's from a silence perspective I don't even know if it even makes sense so what so it's got this tiny tiny surface area what it does have as an advantage is the ability to draw heat away from the CPU more quickly because it's using water however if you can't dissipate that heat from the radiator fast enough the water just warms up and warms up and warms up until it reaches an equilibrium point where the water rushing around the loop is at you know 45 degrees and then even if it's holding it even even if the CPU block is efficient enough to take 45 degree water and keep your CPU at 70 degrees then I mean fantastic you've got a 70 degree CPU that's not better than air cooling so I really recommend if you're gonna get a pre done water cooler get an H 80 get an H 100 a dual rad makes a huge difference and then a thick rad makes a big difference as well however if you really want to go water cooling the way to do it is to get a custom custom link custom loop is is awesome and the way that bosses do it I hate this thing I have a better wireless keyboard but I use this one because I thought you know because it's really a little profile and be awesome but this is this is not working tonight going to test the 7h thanks to you good job should I buy the fanatic or the normal one there is no difference Oh apparently there's a little that's what the ear cups have no idea it's the same headphones when I use the 7h if I personally prefer the the pleather II ear cups as opposed to the fabric ones so if you're interested in my thoughts on it at all then I would probably go that route do you think anybody will be in video within a glob Oh glob 8000 series no I it doesn't matter it's the same old thing every time everyone wants to speculate I thought the new am do you think are the new Nvidia thing or the new Intel thing how will it perform how would it be prized you know I it will perform better it'll be priced the same and then the prices will erode as the as the the market gets flooded with parts and then something new will come out and it will replace it I'll be that so yeah somewhat something will happen and someone will release something and honestly until we get closer like we haven't even seen any solid rumors about 8000 series so I'm not even thinking about it I'm actually curious to see if AMD even calls it 8000 series I mean I was I was surprised when Nvidia released a 9800 graphics card because that was a number that AMD have used before well ATI I guess at the time ATI used before with the Radeon 9800 Pro so it was it was it was quite quite puzzling to me that they that they decided to go that route and release on 9800 to go along with father their competitors 9800 okay not to Lord for questions yay thank you - I'm in the market for a new mechanical gaming keyboard I see you have the Corsair candy and I want to know your thoughts I do not use a corsair cane idea i'm not sure where you saw me use a corsair cane I'd be probably on the set of NCIX tech tip so the cane ID looks fantastic it is like the best looking keyboard it has individually backlit keys it's got that gorgeous aluminum like thing going on I'm personally not a big fan of cherry red switches so I'm actually using a me onyx cycle 60 I've got couple seven G's and deployment I still use my G 15 Jen one from time to time although that's not a mechanical keyboard I'm more of a cherry cherry blue cherry well can't use bloom cuz I have a baby in the house now and it'll wake out for his cherry blues they're sold out I'm more of a black black cherry annex which user although I just got my hands on the new Logitech whatever it is I think it's the 7/10 plus this is very exciting 7/10 let's try searching keyboard g7 companies here's the here's the event tech review so I just thought my hands on one of these I'm really excited to try it because they decided to go with brown switches so brown switches are basically like they're basically let let me see if I can remember these I think brown switches take a little bit more a little bit more force to depress like blues but they're quieter than blues if I recall correctly and then the mushy or more linear ones are the blacks and the and the red so a little thing I like about the blacks I don't like on some keyboards but I really like on those idle is not the fact that they're linear so I'm really excited to try out this keyboard because I haven't yet seen like a gaming oriented keyboard with macro keys and that kind of those kinds of features with cherry brown switches so very very very cool very cool let's go back to Twitter shall we here's an Intel 330 series SSD ok for a boot drive yes aim d-pad I review soon yes I'm in the ok I read that oh wow we're all the way back to where we started fantastic 249 new interactions you guys are killing me here Wow how do you set up an Andy main graphics with an Nvidia PhysX dedicated card had someone asked this question not that long ago and the answer I gave them was you can and then I had someone kind of jump in who it's lightest you actually can here's a forum thread somewhere we get yes you can however you're going to always be locked into using a last generation driver and you're every time you want to update your drivers you're going to be tweaking something or changing some file or somehow hacks are ring it and to me it's really not worth it if you okay physics is cool I guess there's a couple games that do leverage it Borderlands 2 being a recent exception of note that are not exception but a recent notable title it does utilize physics look if you want physics using the video graphics card it really doesn't seem that complicated if you don't want to his ex go ahead and use an AMD graphics card trying to build in a machine that is basically built around the idea that the hardware is not supposed to work together correctly is asking for trouble you're gonna have enough trouble with your computer because computers are finicky sometimes if you don't intentionally configure a computer that you know isn't supposed to work right so that's my two cents on that and probably won't address it again but there you go I don't recommend it razer naga versus course around ninety personally I'd go Naga the Naga has the advantage of having more reachable buttons for me because the buttons are all so close together but the drawback of that is because they're so close together you can often accidentally hit them however with the m90 I find the I find the buttons the the left and right click are a little sensitive for me they're almost like a hair trigger and I put more weight on my mouse when I'm moving it around so I had a little bit of trouble with that although I got used to it after a while there's an M 90 on the machine that's right over there but then for the side buttons because I have kind of small hands I found I wasn't able to really reach that many of them so Naga Nagano works for me when I move my hands like an octopus it kills your your bandwidth that is uh bad as that is probably the best tweet I've gotten on a live stream yet so so what you're saying is I shouldn't do this oh okay I'm doing it but it's not counting because I didn't switch that'd kill anyone else's family I'm just curious go over to the Guru to the twitch thing and see what that does nope okay fine forget it I guess you should get more bandwidth or something let's go ahead back to Twitter yes - should I get a second sic 570 and run SLI or get a new 670 or 680 usually I would recommend selling your old card getting a new car especially because you can get six 70s for pretty reasonable prices already the prices like started really high when they were super independent and they just kind of run like this and now they've leveled off a little bit so now is probably a good time to buy a 670 I mean a 660ti is a great option - unless you're running like super uber multi-monitor in which case you probably need like - six 70s and with like lots around 660ti is a great option once you overclocked them they get pretty close to a 670 and you save anywhere from 70 to 100 dollars depending on where you shop for your six 70s and 660ti s jewel good question jewel would you use a knife inity air surrounds up for your personal right for me no it's not my preference I like to have a single very large format display for my personal machine however at work I don't know if you've ever seen something that I've filmed in my office let me see if I can let me see if I can actually find something that I've shown you my office so - giveaway I can catch filmed a couple in my office oh yeah there's that one that's that's not my office um well if you've seen my office you'll know that I actually have four monitors four monitors on my desk in my office because I find for productivity this is awesome these these are so good the submissions for the a for the Duke Nukem giveaway contest now I'll now I'm all reminiscing and stuff because this is awesome this was a really good one my favorite though can find my favorite one totally just play this for you guys you know you won't have audio anyway so I guess it doesn't really matter but for work multi-monitor awesome prefer it for gaming i prefer a single monitor because I find the peripheral experience doesn't really have that much for me personally got a good liquid cooler suggestion um get the age 100 there you go sorry should go back to Twitter how are high end USB Dax compared to internal cards often actually better if you can find a super awesome USB DAC then you will get the advantage of having it completely removed from all the interference that's bouncing around inside of a computer chassis and you will also have the advantage of well I mean come on that sound doesn't need any huge data rate USB 2 is a-ok so you've got removed you can also have the added space of having a larger enclosure so something like an asus essence one would be an example of a product that would leverage both the the lack of interference oh my goodness its lines video section the lack of interference and the extra space so essence one and it sounds so good i actually did a video about this thing at one point it only does it does headphones or 2.1 speakers that's it but it does do up sampling and it just sounds amazing so my new my new audio setup is gonna be once I finally get my personal rig back up and running is gonna be a yes this one for my headphones the courser SP 2500 is running off my zone are sent so my my sound card and then I'm gonna have the Thunder effects that got included with the Maximus 5 formula for my microphone in because it has an awesome like ambient noise canceling thing so if the baby's crying it's got a microphone on the front that hears that the baby's crying and then that's not my voice because it also has a microphone jack and it'll just cancel it out is really freaking cool so that's that's gonna be my new setup just change what there you go awesome watch all videos and reviews I could find still can't decide on a good heads at the compliment done RDX d2x I get a 7h Ben can you shine some light on microfiber nestled on ways to prevent it there's nothing you can do to prevent it and personally I don't really see it so I can't comment on it too much some people really see it some people really don't are you still considering to launch a Europe store or shipping gear I feel left out if I'm not being able to buy what I said was you never know what the future holds I didn't say that that's that's happening so yeah let's not let's not read too much into things all right first time watching from John Salas Barry what do you think about gigabyte GPUs they seem noticeably absent from every GPU review of yours um dad they're good nothing wrong with them it's just that whatever whatever I get sent oftentimes is what I'll take a look at and for me I I guess it comes down to personal philosophy because for me thank you for me I find stuff like this youtube.com/ kind of pointless and I mean I love Paul but I'm sure that he had to do this where they've got like look at this one reference card ah-ooh reference cards ah 3er reference cards uh for reference oh man I mean it's tedious here another reference card uh uh uh what is that five v reference GTX 680 s I mean that's cool and all but do you are they really different do you really care if I take the MSI one and I go here's the honest I won it's pretty ballin here's the galaxy one it's all it's got a different color sticker I don't think you guys want to see that I think that if you subscribe to this channel for the point of seeing a different video every day I would be doing a disservice if I uploaded the same video card five times in a row with a slightly different package and a slightly different sticker now when we come into video cards that are unique then we've got a different thing going on so for example the 7970 matrix because it is so cool and so unique justified it's only full performance review and close look on the emcee I expect its charm remember guys if you are only subscribed to me on - tech tips then you are going to miss out on a lot of the deeper content that I'm doing for the NCIX channel as well remember I work there so I'm the video spokesman there as well as maintaining - tech tips is more of like a Bloggie style thing so this is apparently gonna run in 1080p which is probably a little bit much for what we're doing this was also one of the first videos where diesel started doing some of these really cool things with the with the new camera so I forget oh she died forget what he calls it but it's called like a like a something-something gain or something where you can see the a soos one is blurry and then it switches to being clear because it's changing the changing the focus and then the assist is clear and the 7970 is blurry just looks super cool but but yeah so so when it comes down to is if there's something unique and different about it then sure yeah I don't mind taking a look at more than one card but when we're talking a soos direct see you and the side foo frozer and gigabyte windforce we're talking duel fans some heat pipes some aluminum fins you want to see that five times I mean okay hey if you want to see that five times let me know and I can totally totally change my policy and I can start doing it differently but if you don't want to see that five times then that's good - I have never watched Breaking Bad - someone who asked if I'm a fan of the show so I've heard is great but it's like I have so little time these days that I haven't I haven't managed to watch TV in in a very long time I hardly find time to watch my weekly zero punctuation so and that's like five minutes long what type of case should I get for under 170 full ATX I define Excel is probably not a bad choice I really like the define Excel but I hate it when people ask me what case to get without giving me any context you want quiet you want sort of a more aggressive gamer look you know half XM would be a good choice in that case I can't make this choice for you unless you give me some idea what bank you're going for I'll be doing another giveaway at some point maybe soon maybe I'm filming something this weekend no promises or anything up when your son gets older and all his friends are getting consoles will you build him an amazing rig and make them cry before all his friends are getting consoles he'll already have an amazing ring and I'll encourage him to take his amazing rig over to his friends houses and it'll be like so massive and heavy that he can just drop it on their consoles and literally crush them because the PC has a gaming platform literally crushes console so yes he will he will fully understand the value of the PC as a gaming platform versus consoles because consoles are for console people which is pretty much all you need to know about them no I'm just kidding you guys can play games on consoles you're cool too Luke asks each 108 HP 14 and a 600 team I've got the H 100 personally can I have your bridge number wait for hazlo I'm impossible to say so many people again ask me these questions I don't know because I don't know how Haswell performs I don't know how much it costs so you guys are asking me to solve for to solve for okay so it huh maybe there's a great example of algebra so X let's say X is yes and Y is no or something so solve for this yes or no variable and then you've got like the current thing and then you've got the future thing which is also a variable so actually I can't solve for this variable without knowing this variable so those of you who learned like well and at least completed a high school level math course will know what I'm talking about - what's the input leg like with PC pb2 Sumeet kilig very good actually for 2560 by 1440 monitor outstanding colors excellent a little bit of motion blur not bad though really liked it great monitor kudos flying us I'm going back to sleep okay good night I guess he's probably gone by now since that was seven minutes ago would a nine three thirty to twenty last me until Intel skylake wow this is taking it even further check out this tweet guys so I was I was just talking about how I can't speculate on the next platform that's coming and I'm being asked about something that's not even due to be released for three years come on Jason will it last you I don't know it's impossible to say what how multi-threading aware games are gonna become without knowing what the heck you're doing with your computer like are you gonna be rendering 4k videos in that case your i3 3220 is gonna get squished like a bug sorry man I I mean if you've been using any 7,400 until now and that's worked for you then what I know about your usage model is that you don't upgrade that often so based on that I'd say that you're getting a pretty equivalent processor today so maybe could that last you another three years probably that's the only way I can answer that question though is an overclocked 670 better than a stock 680 yes but you could also overclock a 680 so there you go any experience with any of the cyber gaming mice - keyboards I play around with a rat something or other which is so yeah it's Seibert no I think they changed their branding not that long ago so it's very confusing but yeah it's okay Falcon sensor felt good I didn't really like the modularity of the most because I couldn't personally find mice that are comfortable for me already and I found it just kind of it's kind of weird but but lots of people lots of people like them I'm not meowing on the live stream thanks to Eduardo for his uh for a suggestion there oh sorry I'm not on the Twitter thing please me out no thank you ah I just bought SP twenty five hundreds is is supposed to hiss when it's turned on and nothing's playing there may be a slight hiss but if it's loud then that might be something where you want to look into our angles of course there 9 times out of 10 it's something to do with the amp so for example my old monsoon oven 2000s had quite a history and I ended up it ended up being caused by the amp so there's really nothing you can do about it with these with these kit speakers because you can't just replace the the amp what graphics card would be good for a 19 to 21 inch monitor this is something I've wanted to talk about on the live stream for a while the size of your monitor has nothing to do with how much graphics card horsepower it requires I'm gonna let that sink in for a second the only thing that matters is how many pixels so for example a lot of people were really confused back when I released this video the the GeForce GTX 590 triple projector ultimate panoramic gaming experience episode and that's me at my best of course yeah because they were like holy crap how does a graphics card power you know a 200 inch display to which I responded well these are three 720p monitors so if you actually do the math it's not that much more intensive than powering a single 1080p monitor off a GTX 590 which definitely has the horses for it so don't don't worry about that so yeah guys only pixels it doesn't matter if you're running a 1080p 23 inch monitor or if you're running at 1080p 70 inch TV it requires exactly the same amount of graphics power in order to achieve the results that you are looking for so I would need to know what resolution your monitor is however based on what I know about 19 and 21 inch monitors anything higher than a dgx-650 TI you're probably not gonna see as much benefit of something like a 660ti would be the maximum I would spend for a resolution like that and you'd be able to crank up absolutely everything excuse me what is the absolute smallest case that can fit a 2 by 100 radiator you know what that's a great question and because I don't know off the top of my head I would love for I would love for anyone else who's on Twitter to reply to Matthew last here and let him know if there's any super small cases that you've seen are confirmed to fit a course or age 100 good question Jacob asks would I ever use an AMD graphics card well I'd use it for lots of things my wife's computer has a 58 70 in it I have used 8 AMD graphics cards in the past my first my first when I mean I'll call it high-end but it wasn't really high-end it was a couple hundred bucks few hundred bucks my first high-end graphics card but I bought beyond using like on board or cheapo entry-level stuff was an all-in-one derp 9600 pro so that was that was kind of back in the day now but that was a fantastic card loved it from there I upgraded to an X 800 Pro from there I went to an X 800 XT I used a 38 70 HD 3870 at one point because that was a cool card you could take off the air-cooled shrouded thing that was only connected to the GPU and it actually had a built-in unison so all you had to do was for a GPU waterblock on it and you were ready to go that was a very cool card I have a 2900 XT and my work machines I don't think there's anything newer than that that I have used not since then yeah not since then my biggest problem with reference AMD cards is they tend to exhibit more coil line than their Nvidia counterparts and again because I'm a silence freak it almost has nothing to do with performance for me I will take a card that performs 30% slower and is silent versus one that is like bleeding-edge fast and goes you know whenever it's loading games and textures and stuff like that I find that just super super obnoxious nice gaming laptop can you tell us if the fatality soundcard is better than the phoebus absolutely not a soos is the king when it comes to sound cards these days the Phoebus is way better than the fatality sound card which is like a five-year-old design at this point is it possible to buy just the hydro copper water block for the 680 I don't believe so EVGA only sells them with video cards however you could get a different water block that would probably be better than the hydro comfort anyway and put that on your 680 good point Andrew I have not used the Coolermaster CM storm trigger but I'm very excited about the brown brown switches - would you recommend mechanical keyboards it doesn't even matter for FPS gaming put in four blank yes I would recommend mechanical keyboards they are way better than anything else you know I actually spent a fair bit of time with the Mamba back when it was released good question what do I think of the Razer Mamba it is very responsive so in terms of the input latency it is outstanding didn't really like the ergonomics that much which to me is sort of a killer but let me see if I can actually that was one of my favorite videos that I ever did was in a Razer Mambo one let's see Oh chill oh wow really six hundred and eighty thousand views on a Mamba video wow that's outstanding well let's see if I can let's see if I can find mine there we go Eric's calm razer mamba from april 16th 2009 so our video quality wasn't wasn't what it wasn't what it is now this is awesome though I actually sing the Mamba song mom Mamba number 5 and this is business camera man's coming in here see so I made up my own sort of lyrics to to Mambo number 5 and chemically I'll let you guys sort of you know sing along in your heads if you watch that if you watch that video you can enjoy via you can join my my terrible singing and I basically said everything I think about the Mamba in that video I didn't end up using it so I guess that should be all you need to know at a certain level sorry not much time with the Sidewinder x4 so I can't really comment yes you can have a shout out to the Danish viewers hi Danish viewers thank you for watching this live stream and I hope you are enjoying it actually I want to check my my live stream ideas things ahh shout out to Mexico viewers I did promise that and then I also wanted to talk about single versus multi real power supplies so tell you what since you twitch people are all whining and griping every time I try and talk about something other than Q&A would you guys like to hear about single rail versus multi rail or would you like to complain somewhere ok I'm this thing this is no no yes no no yes yes yes you guys can make up your mind so I'm just gonna do it because I think it's a good idea single rail versus multi rail power supplies so basically most modern power supplies and I okay maybe I shouldn't say most but many modern power supplies actually are taking a virtual approach to a multi rail design so while all of the power is being generated with a single 12 volt rail it is using electronic technology to separate them out and then implement safety mechanisms on a per rail basis on virtual rails that's why you even see power supplies that have switches between single rail and multi Renault so this means a couple of things so number one is that it means that your multi rail power supply is can be a little okay let's step way back multi-room why does it exist multi rail came around originally back in the p4 days when it came to be that we were drawing dramatically more power from the 12 volt rail all of a sudden so power supply manufacturers were kind of like oh well this is a lot of amperage to put on one rail and the ATX specific a changed to actually require multi rail power supplies for a TXV whatever one point whatever specification compliancy for a while so then what happened after that was stuff continued to draw more and more power from the 12 volt rail and so video cards and CPUs particularly I mean Backlund Intel Pentium D series those things were power hogs you wouldn't believe a motherboard that I saw once that had the entire vrm like it was one of those Asus cardboard color boards you know those older orange e yellow ones the entire back of the board was like brown brown where the MOSFETs work in spite of the cooling fan that was blowing air down on them because those things drew so much power they ran so hot so so what happened was we split it out into multi rails so that when we when safety mechanisms were applied to the individual rails it wouldn't be so much power that it would just explode okay in layman's terms then what happened we started drawing more power from the 12 volt rail and we started running into issues where if the manufacturer didn't implement multi rail correctly if you plugged in your CPU and then your GPU accidentally because it was all molex powered back then so your CPU and all your hard drives you had them all running off the same rail in the power supply even though you had a 450 watt power supply and your system will need root three hundred Watts from it you could run into situations where your system would just power down as soon as you got under gaming load and that caused a big problem for gamers and we started to see single rail power supplies come back to prevalence I mean guys like PC power and cooling have sort of always been all about single rail corsair has stayed predominantly single rails for their very high end stuff XFX is single rail on their high-end stuff especially now however that issues pretty much gone I mean even even power supplies like antics high currents Quattro wasn't your high current pro hiker Quattro was a multi rail design but I was still because they've added more sort of overflow onto each individual but also one rail so just because you've got like let's say a hundred ounce total and then you got rales you don't go ten tenten tenten tenten tenten tenten it doesn't work that way you can go each of these rails can handle 22 amps maximum but obviously you couldn't load them all at point amounts because that would exceed the maximum total current capability of the power supply so that means that you can sort of Bora power from one rail to another with the modern implementations of Multi rail designs in order to whether they're virtual or whether they're real in order to maintain that safety where you're not running so much power through one wire to the point where you can actually like melt connectors it's happened but you're able to borrow that power so I was able to run a dual cooling Boreas liquid cooling tech units off of one of those power supplies in spite of its multi rail configuration and that's a couple of year old unit now so single rail Multi rail which is the right choice personally I don't think about it too much I've added a power supply that I like in terms of you know cable management in terms of the cooling in terms of how quiet it is the XFX one I'm using now and some of the sea Sonic ones actually have a hybrid fan control so if the loads under 50% it doesn't turn the fan on at all yay perfect for silence freaks that's basically like buying a 500 watt passive power supply awesome fan only turns on when you're gaming perfect so it happens to be a single rail does it matter to me not really you haven't heard too many stories of people's computers blowing up due to single rail power supplies but companies like an tech that tend to do things very like buys ebook will probably continue to implement multi rail and that's fine too so there I hope that wasn't too boring for you guys and that you haven't all like tuned oh because I'm talking about power supplies so let's go ahead and go back to Twitter and see if we can get this to switch there we go graphics difference between VGA DVI and HDMI VGA sucks DB is higher bandwidth than HDMI and HDMI is lower bandwidth in DVI which is only matters if you're running a higher resolution I then I'm on broadband 250 but they haven't managed to fix my upload yet so I'm only on 5 megabit up so I'm actually calling shot tomorrow to complain about and get the the difference in price addressed by them OS how do you feel about OCC's stop dropping 70% in the past week or so I actually know a lot of people at OCC they're they're like they're my bros but I gotta say it's looking ugly right now for you know all the people that are leaving I mean and I I know a couple guys who are you're gone the way that their stock has gone like this well no it's blowing more like this and then like this you know like great products vertex for particularly is just awesome I mean it was the first time they really released something that was truly their own not I mean Revo Drive is kind of their own but it's like their own implementation of like someone else's RAID controller and someone else's controller with someone else's firmware whereas vertex for at least have their own firmware on a Marvel controller so I don't know I I hope they pull out of this maybe they'll get acquired maybe they'll maybe they'll figure it out but if you're asking me if I'm invested ocz today the answer is probably probably not would you recommend any hardware for Avicii recording live music you know what I'm not the expert on that unfortunately what do I think about Windows 8 I'm excited for the snappiness the quick boot times and all that good stuff but I'm I'm less excited for how unexcited other people are not a question but please do a follow-up of some of the stuff you take a first look at some products are interesting to see me test right up till now the problem has been that I'm very time constrained so I do have a full-time job at NCIX for those of you who think that I make like a billion dollars on YouTube and that's sort of how I make my living it's really not how it works for me I do have a real job then YouTube is like is like it's great and it's fun and it is part of my job but it is not something that I can afford to spend more than maybe a day a day and a half a week I mean honestly even doing things like live streams if you guys sort of noticed what time it is it's Friday night at 10:30 do you think I'm on the clock for work the answer would be no so I mean I do this because I enjoyed it because it's fun because I mean you guys have supported me so much but I just don't have the time so if in the future that changes yes I would be happy to do more in-depth looks of things but for now I'm gonna have to pretty much stick with the way it is if you want to see the more in-depth looks that I do do make sure you're subscribed to the NCI XCOM channel I haven't used those ZeniMax fans can you slip to a eyefinity I really don't understand you saying that's not what I Finity is Eyefinity is three monitors or more and then two-way so that's a gtx 560 doesn't support Eyefinity okay if you're asking if you can run two monitors off of a gtx 560 the answer is yes so there you go what's the best power supply just grab like an HX 750 or something it's a great choice for a configuration like that William says my question will be answered cool what you think is the best case under 80 bucks Corsair has one coming the 200 are that I think is very exciting I'm actually I haven't unboxed it yet I haven't seen it in person yet but I think that might be a great choice for around 80 bucks how much radiator surface area and a custom water cooling loop do you would you need for a CPU GPU configuration great great questions Sawyer generally speaking the rule that I follow is one 120 millimeter radiator per heat source at least and then double that if you want a silent system so if you have a CPU and a GPU you're gonna want at least a dual rat if you want to run super low rpm fans and have like a silent system you're gonna want at least a quad that's my general one says shadow to swim birthday shout-out to one happy birthday and all that good stuff 6:00 a.m. and watching - you are the man whose deeds fused ISM that's awesome love it well in 8150 bottleneck dual 79 70s Oh Lawrence the 8150 will perform oftentimes like 70% with a frame rate of a 35 7ek I mean I get a lot of flack from viewers from time to time for being an Intel fanboy but the reality of it is the way that I evaluate hardware is this is the product and this is what it does and this is the other product and this is what it does and if this product is less than this one does then it's not as good it's not fanboy ism it's not it's just reality it's like reality check 8150 is not a high-end CPU it costs see this comes back to something I was talking about earlier why do things cost what they do the 8150 they can rent it FX all they want but the 8150 is one $79.99 on sale because it is worth one hundred and seventy nine ninety-nine on sale in spite of the fact that it is an eight core processor and it is an absolute beast when it comes to video editing and that's that's all there is to really say - some onion emails basically made me for FPS games any advice on I don't SteelSeries sensei the onyx mics are pretty good really like my onyx mice on my laptop what's better a hard drive password or a bios password or both use the encryption on your hard drive the bios password does almost nothing so bios password is only relevant if you want people to not go into your bios and change your dealer whoops change your boot order for example which i think is a non-factor for most people all right last Twitter question of the night and just before we do that I want to thank all 1,700 of you for tuning in this is fantastic you guys make me feel very very loved and and that that is absolutely thrilling you guys are just awesome and let's go ahead and go back to Twitter so I'm gonna kind of roll the dice and oh people want to see the cat okay you know what I will see what I can do I'll see what I can do about summoning a cat Rumble Rumble come here sweetheart Rumble he usually comes when I call if he's not sleeping you're trapped somewhere rumble and I usually use snapping when I'm pointing it like a bug or something I want them to kill so they often come when I snap my fingers as well rumble I hear me ollie you know you might be trapped in a room okay okay I'm gonna bring rumble for a guest appearance sorry guys I forgot a little actually really not feeling well so I shouldn't have been calling him anyway but I brought rocket to visit rockets they hide in the camera Rockets really more camera-shy than his brother say hi I think this is this is my this is my boy so for those of you who aren't familiar with my cats they are bangles which is sort of a cool breed that involves this kind of a leopard print sort of thing that they got going on here so hopefully this is HD enough that you guys can can see him so he's uh he is not a marbled Bengal he is a spotted bangle you can get done in a variety of different sort of configurations Marvel is just like a different coat pattern and then you can get this is a golden color then you can also get them in silver which is significantly more rare and and very very expensive I think for a breeding female silver bangle the breeder is saying something along the lines of 15 grand to 25 grand depending on the quality of the cat in terms of their coat and whatever else these are pet quality cats so they have imperfections that make them not conform to the breed standard or whatever else but there I brought my cat to visit hopefully you guys enjoyed that and yes and I will come on that's which people are give me over time not talking about my cat like it's an item I mean my cat but Bengal breed is an item so let's put it that way it's my dad's birthday remind you to congratulate him hi this is just like the weirdest tweet every I don't think I don't think that's gonna work alright so let's find one more one more to answer you know what let's go with this one mark what do you think about sharing your idol computer time to dedicate your CPU scientific research via the Internet so he's referring to projects like folding at home sette point my comment on that spin that as long as it's as long as it's not disruptive to my computer using experience and what I found last time I tried to really get into folding was that it was making it so my games were crashing all the time I haven't tried in a while but other than that it's great the drawback is that you do usually see a significant increase in your power usage so if you can afford the extra a little bit of money or if that's something that you want to contribute you know folding at home has been doing actually a lot of really cool research Boing I'm less familiar with what they're doing I think said he is looking for extraterrestrial life or something along those lines but yeah great idea but your room and your computer will run hotter your power bill will be more so as long as you factor those things into whatever decision you make then you should be good to go thank you guys for checking out the livestream tonight and again thank you for all of your support and good night from Canada or good morning or whatever that you guys are I'm gonna go ahead and turn my camera off now Hey fear dose Jafar asks here's the m4 better than the vertex 3 you know what they're pretty going close so it doesn't really make much difference to me one way or the other can you recommend a good stuff $400 or $350 2072 no I guess it expensive yeah yeah sorry
