these 10 dolla PC glosses from the hardware store that'd just make me look smarter there she raised my intelligence to level 9000 welcome back to check its it is Barack coming back to you guys today with episode 32 of tech talk and today we have a big episode so we wise will just get on with it I'm sorry if I make some mistakes and advances is quite a lot to talk about today but the first article I wanted to raise is LED lighting and I know it's in Japanese but we're going to talk about that soon because it's an article and it's sort of an update on my video that I made three months ago about LED lighting and how and I sort of i talked about the dangers of white leds these are the leds that are going in the back here monitors these are the leds that are going in the house lights that are meant to save power and all that and the problem with them is even though they are meting white light it's predominantly from blue and the problem with that is is that your eyes are used to seeing in our green and red though they're used to sing extracting a lot of detail from the green and red spectrums and so the problem here is is that when you're seeing detail and blue your eyes are really working harder than they should and blue lights mainly for controlling the mechanism of your pupil size for example and so when you've seen detail from this then I think your vision starts to degrade and for me personally I noticed that my vision I had black spots in the middle of my eyes when I was going to work things were so blurry I'm going to tell you a few months on I'm definitely a lot better than what I was a few months ago so seriously I've changed all my houses all all the lights back in my house to ccfl even the lights now that i'm recording with their ccfl now when I'm in front of a computer monitor like now I'm using a blue LED protection glasses and now why I came about this is because of this article i think it's not particularly this article but my arm wife came home from work one day and she said well there's this guy in japan he had all his fish and he changed his led to changed the lighting that they were getting two leds and he noticed that all his fish were dying or getting deformities and so this was only in four months and then i started researching about it and you can see that the dangers like here's the dangers of LED lights it's just so you guys should get this article and have a read because if you're in front of a computer monitor which is predominantly emitting blue light then you should be protecting your rise and that's another video in itself right because you'll notice that I'm wearing ten dollar hardware glasses from my arm so 10 dolla pc glass from a hardware store because they actually work and that's another video that I'm going to release soon where the results are going to be pretty shocking I've just got to get some more evidence and be concrete because when I come out with the video it's going to be again I think it's pretty shocking anyway so basically let's move on now to another topic but yet in a nutshell protect your eyes if you're if you're using white LEDs in your house as your lighting source change them get rid of them if you're using a whitetail if you're sitting in front of a computer screen like I'm doing at the moment with its primary source of lighting as white LEDs get some protection for your eyes I have to stress it like really do care about you guys I care about my viewers I also care about my own eyes and that's why I'm starting to do it in the last few months I've noticed a big difference so seriously take care of your eyes I mean for me personally out of the five senses sight is the most important for me and that's why I'm just so I guess I'm being OCD about it but you guys have to protect your eyes so anyway let's get on with the first piece of tech news here and this is an SSD endurance experiment done by the tech report it's actually a really good read because some of my viewers pointed me towards it and saying that you know not all SSDs are created equally before it's worth the Samsung I think the 850 pearl something did the best but there were some real early casualties and I'd like to look at this because I think this is the most important thing is which ones died first because if you're paid money for an SSD you want it to last and so we can see here that the Intel 335 even though it did sort of last long before it actually died it started showing errors after 100 terabytes written which if you're recording like I'm doing using the drivers a temporary recording drive you can't have this happening so after 100 terabytes for me this drive would be practically useless because I'm do using as a temporary record storage drive to record things like tech talk for you guys though you can see it's 600 tera bytes written that's not all that bad so the guy who came next was the I think it's a kingston hyperx that's not too bad i mean 600 terabytes isn't too bad i could live with that though it's still a little bit low after a thousand terabytes though if you're getting a thousand terabytes written now do you drive without any errors that's not all that bad really I'd say I'd probably use maybe a terabyte a day and that's pretty heavy like I'm a heavy user probably more but the hundred terabytes from the 335 i think we can all agree this is the real loser heel so I'm actually shocked because I've got one of these drives at the moment the 240 gigabyte 335 and I noticed i did it in the bx route 100 review recently where i showed you guys the big graph and the 335 was actually chugging it was tanking man when it came to those full hide you know well i think it was 10 gigabytes i did a 10 gigabyte transfer where the dips in the rights were really showing so for a professional workstation I'd stay away from the 335 anyway let's get on with the next piece of news here and that's AMD's going to launch their jairo falcon actually i don't know how to pronounce this so maybe someone want to chime in but they're bringing out their own 64-bit a RM their own server sort of their own competition to the server market with their own Jairo Falcon sock or system-on-chip which is actually really good because it's starting to see the AMD are starting to say hey we need to get back into the game we need to start actually producing products for the server market where a lot of the money is we need to start diversifying our business so this is really good that they're bringing out this arc addition they already got a sample ready so this is legit so hopefully we can see AMD start to pull some actual legit sales now though let's get on to the next piece of news and as rock introduces the fatality 970 performance and 3 plus motherboard targeted at gamers and this was something that I think like when I recently reviewed the be 85 pro gamer I was so impressed with it because I think this is what a lot of not just a gamer but a lot of desktop enthusiasts on a budget would want from a motherboard you know just you've got the room to overclock it's got an A+ two phase power design there so it'll be able to overclock pretty well you've got the purity sound on this particular motherboard you got the purity sound too really good on-board audio solution absolutely phenomenal and it's all eighty dollars so you've got a good n IC on there as well and you've only got you don't have to pay and video those SLA licenses or you're not paying for xfire you just going with a single GPU and a lot of gamers why don't know any pro gamer that uses sli or crossfire and a lot of the pro games i know only use a single GPU anyway so if you're competitively gaming you're probably only going to want to use a single GPU anyway so I like it that they're releasing these motherboards and to be honest I really like the look of it like it looks so plain and looks so clean I just like to see them change these clips and color-code the actual clips there on the sockets that would be really good I think this would I mean it already looks really good and I think it's going on sale that's recommended retail price of one hundred dollar you can pick this board up for eighty dollars which is going to be my new recommendation for FX 8320 users or people who want to get on the AMD side of things so know a lot of people love AMD and they always want to get there they want to get on that eight core so if you're going to go with the FX 8320 especially if it's going on sale for a hundred bucks you can go get that you can get the FX 8220 go get this motherboard for eighty dollars and then go get a animax t44 like thirty dollars and for about two hundred bucks you can have a really solid pc so that's something i like about this motherboard there's motherboards making things possible so kudos to a drone I'd like to see more motherboards come out like this well we don't need SLI we don't need actually no 20 sided ports we only got you know minimal amount of SATA ports and a minimal amount of features that we don't I guess the average person would only need so that's koo doze there anyway let's look at USB 3.1 it's been benchmarked here and the speeds are really good like you've got more speeds but the best thing about USB 3.1 is the reversibility or the connectivity of it basically you put you can put it in any way you like you can put it in you know I know for instance when I've been you know putting it in in the dark it's been sometimes awkward you know like you'd be like oh you know you can't see and so you got to figure out which way your things got to go in and no sexual references here at all guys but USB 3.1 will eliminate this problem completely because you can just put it in both ways and it'll be absolutely fine it'll be an enjoyable experience so anyway that's USB 3.1 it's a good thing right the speeds are a lot faster than USB three and one thing I'm going to say about this whole thing is I wish manufacturers would actually start supporting USB and 3.1 properly because I've got like for instance the webcam I'm using at the moment it's a logitech c920 it only supports USB to really it can work on a USB 3 port but it's natively USB 2 and so I can't record 1080p roar out of this otherwise it will start cutting because it can't actually transfer that amount of data over USB 2 so I'd like to see manufacturers actually support USB 3 properly because I mean without the support like you know bench like benchmarks like this are really only just for benchmarks they're not for the real world because what are the devices at the moment is still only using USB 2 so anyway that being said let's move on now to the next article and that is until gets ready for their 10 billion dollar alterra acquisition so you can see here that until arm really want to solidify their place in the markets that they already have a domination or a dominant position over and so with it with them acquiring this company they can use their 40 nanometer technology and they can also use their sort of Altera's system on chip design and bring it together and then you've got an even better system on chip which is what Intel intends to do with the acquisition of alterra so next up here we've got Intel and microns new 3d NAND technology which could triple SSD storage so basically what they're doing is they're stacking the nail on each other and it's going to allow for more denser nan which in turn will be cheaper and it'll use less power though i think the power savings aren't such a big thing especially for home users where SSDs are only using like 2 to 3 watts anyway and stand by the using link once the point 8 6 watts so the power saving thing isn't such a big deal here but definitely the the cost is so I got asked from one of my viewers are mostly Commodore 62-56 whether he should sell his SSD now or wait and then just wait for this and then you know obviously pick up a deal or just keep his SSD and honestly if you already got a 256 gigabyte SSD then keep it because what's going to happen is this man right it's going to be cheaper it's going to be more cost effective than what's out there at the moment but you're still got to realize that all those other costs that the cost of the PCB the cost of retailing the cost of shipping all those other associated costs with an SSD are still going to remain so all you're going to be getting is just cheaper nan so the cost of the SSD will still be a little bit more than a you'll only be at best three times the storage for that same priced SSD so what we have to realize is not going to be such a huge thing it will be it will be a really good thing but it's not worth freaking out about I mean it's not going to magically make your current SSD redundant don't a few years time when its mass in mass production and everything's getting released like this it is the way forward but it's not I guess it's not worth panicking over and going out and selling your SSD just in preparation of this because the SSDs are still going to be expensive don't like don't mind that I think where you're going to get the biggest benefit out of this is from those really large SSDs like if you already got a terabyte ssdnow that costs five hundred dollars you could probably expect a 3 terabyte SS data maybe costs six hundred dollars I think that's where the biggest benefits going to be appreciated from this 3d NAND technology so anyway netflix has been released in australia and officially and a lot of people really like it however there's this big concern that it won't curb piracy especially in australia and so i think the question I think we're asking the wrong question here is I mean I think the question that needs to be asked is is a teenager with no money who's pirating staff or is getting free content if he can't no longer get that content is he going to go out pay for it and I think the answer's no because he's got no money anyway so I think the problem is I think the answers that they need to look at are a lot more I guess they've got to research it a lot more than otherwise what they're doing now I think they need to offer content really cheap for people with no money I think that's something that they need to do to curb piracy I mean because the methods at the moment where yeah they're just not working I mean look someone with no money is not going to pay for content because they got no money anyway so I think that's the main question that lobbying groups against piracy have to ask themselves so anyway let's move on now to the next article and that is samsung may acquire AMD now I've been wanting this to happen for a long time now and I think it is the best way going forward and especially since Samsung in the video now have this big rivalry I think it's great i think if Samsung did acquire Andy it would be a fantastic thing for the tech community for the enthusiast community especially people who love AMD graphics cards I think because Samsung would put a lot of backing behind that however I don't think in reality i mean i think it's just rumors at the moment i don't think it's gaining any real traction i mean if we look at the share prices of AMD shares they're moving nowhere there's nothing to suggest takeover of any sort and then there's a lot of other questions that viewers have raised as well what happens with the x64 licensing there you know there's there's other questions that need to be raised and I don't think at the moment it's not looking like it's a reality if we look at alterra for instance the company that Intel acquired you can see that huge jump there you can see that massive jump that's the that's the news actually having you know that's the news being true right so you can see there are 10 nothing it's like a ten-dollar jump in the share prices so that reflects a takeover generally as opposed to AMD which we're not seeing much at all here there's nothing happening though if the price does get cheap enough maybe Samsung will consider a choir I mean I hope I'm just full of this and I'm sure a lot of other people are because they know that AMD are falling behind i'll talk about this a little bit later but let's move on now to free sync versus juicing where i'm going to actually say a lot of good about andy and that is free since been released and pc perspective and this time I'm going to directly quote their article sorry for the previous time where it didn't directly quote their article but because they make really good stuff they make this is a fantastic article I recommend you go read it but if you don't have time then i'll quickly detail it for you and basically what's happening is that when free sinks working it's working really good when g-sync works it works really good however below a certain i think it's 37 frames on g sink and on freezing it's currently 40 FPS or 40 Hertz when the frames go below that the monitor doesn't on free sink is specifically the monitor doesn't change at all and so below 40 Hertz you're getting a bad gaming experience and sometimes worse because the refresh rate of your monitors now 40 Hertz instead of 60 hertz and that's something that they pointed out it wasn't a good experience under 40 Hertz g-sync on the other hand below 37 hurts it starts doing a unique thing and that it starts duplicating frames to fold and then below i think it's like 19 or something like that it starts tripling the duplicate frames and so you're getting an effective as you see in the graph here you're getting an effective frame rate that looks like you know 20 frames per second for example so basically in a nutshell g-sync is working really well a moment though there's one problem with juicing and that doesn't have the vsync off function and a lot of competitive games want to see this surpassed 144 hurts especially counter-strike gamers they want to be able to turn that off so they can get more frames coming to their game so that's something that i think in video work on but free sync for what it's worth in that in between that bracket there 42 i think 75 frames per second it's working really well and so it's good because it's free it costs the user nothing to take advantage of free sink and that's something that i really like as opposed to juicing which I think costs on average fifty dollars from what I'm hearing so I mean I'd like to see the cost of g-sync come down and I think that's what free sink will ultimately do though fries think is a great thing for the market and I'm really impressed i mean it's it's the first release pretty much this is the initial sample the initial release phase of free singh ji sings had a lot more time to work and so I like I'm liking what I'm seeing from both juicing and freezing and I think it's only a good thing for the gamer so fantastic article from pc perspective if you want to see more about it then i'll drop the link in the description below sorry let's move on now to some new news with the r9 390 x and probably this the only information i can get out there is that there's like some i'm translating some Germans site here and I've got no idea how to speak any German but basically there's rumors that it could be a dual GPU the 3939 TX could be a jewel GPU configuration like they did with the 295 x2 but however I don't think that's true i mean honestly they've got a single GPU king in the works i think so if we look at this article here this is also in german as well i wouldn't see here the stream processes of 4096 the engine clocks over a gig so this looks legit and this is looking what you like what you could expect out of the r9 390 acts like i said before then more stream processors you don't like thirty percent more stream processors there if the architecture will as well for the new architecture if you could get improved you know improved processing as well then you're going to see an architecture that your new card that could allow indeed up to fifty percent more frames though the problem with this is that Nvidia have already released Titan acts and that is legit like that is a huge card even though it costs a thousand dollars it's still a really damn big card and there's no denying that so with AMD they kind of I think if they want to gain the edge as I've said before their kind of checkmated into dropping or moving down to a shrunken node moving down to a smaller notes a 20 nanometer or even samsung 16 and man I think they're kind of check made it into doing this and so that's the only reason I can think of for them delaying their product like honestly if they're going to release these graphics cards on 28 nanometer then I believe they've missed the boat and it's already sailed you know down to Antarctica because yeah like I just I mean I'm question I mean some of the viewers have raised some points in that they think in AMD have to clear current stock levels of r9 290 and 290x is before they can release these new cards and that's legit but I mean I just like the more the longer AMD waits to release the r9 390 X the more they're falling behind the more they're falling out of the game the more people with discretionary income are going to go out and buy a gtx 980 or gtx 970 so you know you've got less options there for the consumer they're going to pick the only option of the moon which is kinda lay the gtx 980 if they've got 500 bucks to blow on a graphics card so that's kind of like what I mean yes if you've got two hundred fifty dollars to blow on a graphics card and I 9290 is great value for money there's no denying that but there are people out there with more than two hundred fifty dollars to spend on a graphics card and I think you know AMD are missing out on a huge market there and I would argue that that market is the most profitable market as well so anyway i just i'd like to see Andy really release this graphic are really release something solid soon because I'm sure a lot of the AMD fans themselves are even you know the die-hard AMD fang boys out there it kind of getting sick of waitin for this news but anyway nvidia on other news and video may already be may already be working on a 980 TI or a gtx 980 i think the may is needs to be a raise from that title nvidia already definitely have a 990 gtx 980 or a 980 TI in the works they've already got that ready with Titanic's being released hell I even think they've got Pascal ready as well they've already got that prepared as well they're just waiting you know you don't release things too aggressively because that's profit but anyway the 980 TI or the 990 I think it might be called the GTX 990 this time and the reason being is because there was no GD x 790 i think nvidia sort of going away with the dual GPU thing because i think they realized that if you're going to go with dual GPUs you're mostly just going to buy two cards and then you know have you'll have better cooling you'll have the option to cool them battle i think a dual GPU solution I mean I've I mean I recommended wonder my friend like angles seven years ago i'm never going to recommend one again it was a horrible experience i'm personally not a big believer in it especially back when I used to be competitive as well SLI was just where X file you just didn't go there as a competitive gamer so I mean I think the markets sort of shifting away from Jill GPUs and it's moving more towards single GPU so with that said I think you're going to see a GD X 990 being released as a single sort of like a tight next maybe with one cuda costs are disabled and six gigabytes of vram I think that's a possibility maybe seven hundred dollars if I had to hazard a guess and I think they're getting that ready in preparation of whatever AMD has to release so you can definitely expect the 980 TI or the 990 to come out though naming I mean I don't know what they're going to do it could be the 980 TI it could be the 990 though I think it will be the 990 just because we're not going to you know you saw the Titan acts that tightened Z sorry the Titans II that was pretty much a flop so I don't think they're really focusing on a single dual GPU on one pc be anymore so anyway that being said let's move on now until is going to challenge a video at high performance computing with Knights landing so they've got something in the works as well knights corner was that previous that previous chipped which didn't wasn't as good as invidious solution though Knights landing looks like its legit so it's good but until I mean from a business standpoint anyway it's good that Intel's doing this and they're there i guess they're trying to diversify their market as well as solidifying what they've already got so they're in they you know they did that acquisition of alterra this if I in their place in the server market you know they're going to have skylight coming out soon which will be good for the mobile the laptop sector the it also be good for the server market I mean they're really they are they you can see the future at least in the medium term they're doing like for me reading this as a viewer they're doing a lot of things that are making a lot of sense though you know I hope sky like I wish Kylie would hurry I'm get released on other news but yeah this is going to be a high-performance computing solution which is going to be up to three times faster than their previous night's corner which is serious business it's going to run on the 40 nanometer node as well so it's going to be pretty damn big so Nvidia have something to look out for their with Knights landing anyway next topic I want to talk about was lapping I released a video on lapping versus non lapping and you know guys I don't have a lot of time i'm going to say sorry in advance look at the testing on the lapping wasn't as good as it could be though in coming months when i get a lot more time I would like to bring in someone from the overclocking community and I'd like to work with them side by side and I would like to make a video once and for all where we're comparing lapped versus non lapped we're comparing p method versus spread method and we're doing it with a few different pace and we're doing my ghetto method for instance versus a full perfectly mirror flat glass sanded die and sorry i HS and heatsink so i'd like to see that and i'd like to test with that particular person say someone who's Harold in the Overlord community I'd like to test that side by side and with the same cooler with the same CPU in the same conditions and I think that make for a very good video though for what it's worth this video was real just just a real quick test especially on a GPU diet and as I said in my workstation vlog i believe the biggest difference is to be had is how much thermal paste you spread and also if there's a layer of insulation on that heat sink so for instance with that Seth cooler that i got in i noticed that there was this lacquer this caught this um sorry this kind of coat of clear on there that was detrimental to performance and when I sanded it off I noticed that my temps were better so that's something that you know i think in as wonderful you'll pointed out and I sort of asked myself why did they do this but one viewer pointed out that they do it to keep the product looking like brand new even if it's on the shelf for one year that makes a lot of sense as well but thought it's worth I'd like to bring in someone from the overlocking community I'd like to make a real big video on it once and for all kind of settling the debate where we go testing this thing for a few days and then we make a really informative video for you guys so if you'd like to see that let us know in the comments below I think that's the only way to solve things is to go head-to-head anyway that being said though puget systems have an article here that I just pulled up and it's about the actual because I mean I don't know why but has just recently I've been seem to be arguing a lot with people about spread vs p so puter systems have an article here where they tested all the different types of application methods and their temperature results as you can see here that this you know the spread method does absolutely fine and it's made my thinking is that doesn't really matter how much I mean so how you spread it but more so how much spread I think that's the biggest difference that would come out of that they also made it very very interesting article when I was looking through their articles they made an article on cpu temperatures and how they affect performance and on the Intel's is they have the TJ maxx i think it's 105 degrees 105 degrees celsius and so what they found was after a hundred degrees that's only when your performance of your cpu started dropping so before that you could run your say for instance you could run your CB or 90 degrees and you wouldn't feel performance differences of post 80 degrees though one thing i'd like to raise and one thing that I think that's coming out of this and that would be a really good would make for a really good article is how long the processor lives say for instance if you had a cpu 2 CPUs side-by-side ones running at 95 degrees on the same clock speed as one that's running at 80 degrees how long would they live for that be a very interesting experiment furthermore I think that something to take out of this article as well is that when you say for instance if you're sitting on your computer I always like to be or I like to have my rig prepared I usually recommend sitting at around 80 degrees that's because if you come into a really hot day for instance in the heat of summer work and you know ambient temperatures can get 15 degrees hotter than what you're normally used to working in your room and if that happens you'll see p you can go over tjmaxx for instance if you're running at a 90 degrees in winter or in spring so that's something that I like to caution people about and that's why I always like to have my cpu kind of at 80 degrees or below 80 degrees especially if it's an intel if it's AMD you've got to look at the different temperatures because apparently they've got you know they're not apparently they actually do have different recommended limits there and sometimes it's like 70 degrees so that being said let's move on to the next article Legend of Zelda for Wii U isn't coming out this year this is really sad because out of all the Wii U games and out of the whole way you think this was the only game that I was really looking forward to was Zelda for wii u like the news elder they'll punching out years ago they're punching out demos of it and it's not even going to be released this year so like what's going on here I don't know man but like I was really looking forward to this game I mean honestly though if they're going to I mean hopefully they're still going to release it and it's going to be absolutely amazing but I'm kind of I've been waiting for this game and I really want to I'm kind of anticipating this game as much as I was anticipating Zelda 64 I remember years ago when I was waiting for that to be released and then it was released and it was really good so I'm hoping this will be just as good as the original Zelda 64 so lastly ace I have released the xB 270 Hugh ed TFT central have a full review of it basically it's an IPS 1440p monitor at 144 hurts and honestly this review is absolutely fantastic if you guys want some of the best say the best reviews on monitors computer monitors then head over to TFT central these guys cover like literally everything you would want to know about a monitor all in one review so fantastic I actually was reading the review and basically what to come out of the is that this monitor has some of the best or lowest display lag or input lag that's out there at the moment it's pretty much like CRT levels the response times are pretty much the best you can get for an IPS panel only Abby's deck are using that again only Abby's dick behind TN panels which is phenomenal so this monitor is literally the be-all and end-all for someone who is looking for a really good experience coupled with a monitor that can be used for competitive gameplay though that being said i will pause for a moment and i will say if you if you're a competitive game are and you'll want to go to 27 inch then I suggest sitting maybe maybe 90 centimeters back from your monitor like for instance the desks i'm using at the moment is about 60 centimeters and i'm using a 24 inch monitor for a lot of my gaming and I mean I've got to make an article on that but yeah I'm already doing better on a 24 inch than I am on a 27 inch because the 27-inch is too close and I can't see everything in my vision so that's something if you're going to 27 inch monitor and your competitive gamer I would stress that I would pull the monitor back a little bit further than what you're used to using it out so anyway fantastic review the monitor is absolutely like one of the bill and end all monitors for 1440 peas so that wraps up episode 32 I hope you guys enjoyed this tech talk if you did please give it a thumbs up if you have anything you want me to talk about in the next tech talk or anything you want to discuss in this Turk talk as I love talking to you guys in the comments then drop a comment in the comment section below and I'll catch you guys in the comments section anyway I will talk about the next episode I will be talking about AP is a little bit more I'm actually kind of waiting for a bit more development in both dx12 and Vulcan before I talk about it again though I am looking forward to talking about that more in death as a few people message me telling me to talk about it more in depth and telling me I sort of really just lightly glanced over it and that's completely understandable so anyway I will be talking to you guys very soon anyway and I know we'll be releasing another tech video very soon as well and I'm sorry for all the mess here at the moment but there's just like a lot of testing I've actually got to finish off the X 5650 benchmarks as well we'll be getting that out for you guys very soon as well as a used workstation guide and that's about you guys yes I protect your eyes as well that's something the biggest thing to come out of this episode anyways I'll catch you in another tech video very soon and peace out for now bye
