okay so in theory were alive and Wow that's broken so fascinating hopefully my microphone is working although I don't know from oh good it's this one so I'll probably wait to get started until will actually join the live segment here let's just get the the broadcaster going let's get the bull hangout going over here actually what I should really do is I should load up the YouTube channel and I've got a bunch of tweets coming in already hello there Linus can i have a shout out asks a deacon yeah he's from malaysia sweet malaysia is cool I have family in Malaysia sort of apparently I have I have in-law family in Malaysia so that sort of counts right I've been moving this over and I'm gonna move so guys I'm using a new video broadcasting system tonight I was just using my webcam for actually here let me Center my webcam so that this doesn't drive me crazy for the rest of the for the rest of the broadcast here so I'm using xsplit which is sort of neat because I can do this and now you guys can actually see the Twitter feed as as things come in so I think that's pretty cool I got myself a license for this it's actually not that expensive so I can just press a hotkey and then I can switch between actually here here check this out check this out so this is the webcam built into my notebook so you can see that it's pretty clear which one we'd rather be using at this point I can do like little transitions and you guys can see the Twitter feed what mic am I using I'm using the mic built into my headset here is there a problem with it you guys should let me know right away so that I can potentially fix that if there's any kind of an issue and Aamir's in california he wants to know if he gets a shout out the answer is Noemi are you doing a lot it's bad quality we can't see the writing you know what there's nothing I can do about that for now you'll just have to kind of take my we're actually you know what I could probably you know I could probably change it here let's see if we can now let's see if we can fix this up a little bit here so let's take this one out let's add a new screen region let's make it just the top tweets maybe and let's see if this is easier for you guys to read actually know before we do that before we do that we should maybe take the browser and ctrl + plus a little bit I'm sorry the quality is so bad in future what I'm going to be doing is I'm going to be switching over to its it called again bad thing twitch TV so I'm going to be using twitch TV instead of Google Hangouts on air it sounds like there's a lot of advantages including that I will be able to so you guys I'm just sort of trying to trying to do this right now and then we will sort of know what's going on here there we go let's try moving that around so I'm gonna switch it to which TV which will allow me to broadcast in HD let me know if that's easier to read or if it's just still terrible believe least the the font size again sorry I'm not really getting started with any Q&A yet here just working on technical difficulties this is gonna be happening for a while you guys there's really nothing I can do about it we're gonna be making a lot of changes over the next level I'm really hoping slicks gonna join us for the livestream today he's actually we've got a filming session tomorrow and he's coming over to because he doesn't have a car because he's some kind of homeless person and so we're driving in tomorrow together he wasn't able to make it today so we have to we have to film on a Saturday which sort of sucks but them's the breaks someone's got to make videos about you know GTX non-disclosure you know whatever might be coming out at some point or might not and I guess that person's got to be me okay let's see if this works this time I've increased the font size as big as I can realistically get and let's see if that works for you guys here we good now okay I'm getting tweets that say that's a bit better lioness let's go ahead and refresh those tweets and see if this works I'm like super excited about this whole this whole xsplit broadcaster thing haha that works yes alright we have success so I'm going to switch back to my Google hangout really quick there so I can actually see how many people are tuned in so why don't we start doing a little bit of Q&A and I will go back to the connect tab here you guys can sort of check that out with me assuming that it'll ever actually load there we go oh and now it's in the wrong spot which just freakin figures herons if we can play around with this looks amazing Joseph you look amazing so that that is all there is to say about it alright here we go CW go wants to know there we go CW go wants to know what is the best upgrade for a laptop besides an SSD well CW great question the best upgrade for a laptop is an SSD there isn't really a whole lot else you can do to upgrade a laptop I mean some notebooks do you use MXM modules so you have potentially upgradeable graphics but we're not going to see any kind of widespread adoption of that what I'm really excited about is external Thunderbolt graphics cards then we will be able to truly talk about you know notebooks like this this HP right here that are completely business-class totally useless for gaming if they come equipped with Thunderbolt all of a sudden we're gonna be able to just plug in an external Thunderbolt thing when we get to our actual desktop you know in your dorm or in your room or in your house or whatever else the case may be and you'll be able to run games almost as well as a desktop because those notebook processors some of the dual cores especially are using the same architecture with the same memory bandwidth that the desktop ones are and if you got a dual core they're gonna be clocked quite high which for any game other than a select few is way more than enough anyway so I'm really excited about that but right now we don't have any options you can upgrade your RAM but RAM is so cheap these days you've got notebooks coming with 8 or 16 gigs of RAM right out of the box so what else can you really do ok let's see if there's any other questions we got right at the beginning here that I can potentially answer ok hue hue has a question so 120 mil plus 240 millimeter rad combo versus a single 360 for cooling an i7 920 okay number one is that just a pool of CPU either of those solutions are totally overkill unless you want to use very quiet fans now personally I'm a big fan of quiet cooling so to cool a single CPU and a single GPU I'm using a dual and a triple and then I'm running at very very low fan speeds I would personally go for the single 360 just for the lower pressure drop because the more bends you do in your water cooling loop the more the pressure is going to drop the more your flow rate it's going to reduce it doesn't make that big of a difference to performance but if you want to be getting the best and the best of the best out of your system then go for the single 360 and then if you really want to get the best of the best to add more radiators anyway because more radiators is is always better to NASA says it's still unreadable that some people are saying that they can read it so that's that's all I can really do okay and I just accidentally did that so let's go ahead and widen that again 52 new interactions let's have a look at some of these tweets so guys don't be upset if I can't answer every tweet on the live hangout here I'm sorry but there's so many that it's pretty hard for me to to get to them all let's start more live Q&A love them thank you Raina I'm gonna try and do that actually I'm gonna try and have a regularly scheduled time every week so it'd be great if you guys give me some feedback in terms of what you think would be a good regularly scheduled time because I think that would really help people know when to tune in I've got a lot of complaints that people didn't know that I was doing a live stream and they would have loved to have tuned in but they weren't able to because they didn't know about it so I do announce them on Twitter I do announce them on YouTube but not everybody is like glued to their phone like this like me so it's yeah if we have a regularly scheduled segment then I think it'll be much easier BJ wants to know hey Linus I've asked a few times already but you know if the 7970 is better than the 79 set you
