  1.  @darreno1450  I like to think I have somewhat of a clue. Must be why I run Seasonic PSUs. The heart of your PC. I don't run AMD anything. It's all blue and green for me. Once Intel releases their discrete graphics adapter it may be all blue then. We'll have to see how pricing is. I know their Linux support is second to none. I don't do Windows either.

  2.  @darreno1450  Intel's founder Robert Noyce invented the monolithic integrated circuit. So Intel created the game. They are also the only vertically integrated CPU manufacturer on the planet today too. Which BTW they also invented. Intel made the world's first microprocessor. It is fair to say that no player has been more influential than Intel has been. So I would not count them out quite yet.

  3. If people see what the new cards cost and know they can't afford them they're going to buy what they can afford. With stocks dwindling and demand up that drives prices up too.

  4. It means Microsoft is still ripping their customers off.

  5.  @imblackmagic1209  Linux has always been user friendly. It's just choosy about who its friends are!

  7. They're made by US companies manufacturing overseas. So yeah kinda. I mean we did invent electricity. So there's that too. BTW you're welcome.

  8.  @2000cobraguy  if a card uses 300 Watts find a more efficient card. FFS what do you need anything like that for? My whole system doesn't draw 300 W. Who are you the power company CEO? Or is that your Dad?

  9.  @exk4  if it isn't glowing or on fire it is not a problem. I just measured some harness cable I pulled off a PSU I scrapped and it appears to be 16 gauge to me. For chassis wiring 16 gauge will handle 22 amps. So that is 192 Watts a wire at 12 Volts. There's 3 power conductors in an 8 pin GPU connector. So the cable should handle 576 Watts. If anyone's GPU is pulling more power than that they need to reevaluate some of their life choices. Basically people that think it is a problem are ignorant. They're running with their feels rather than facts.

  10. +joescalon there are people where money is no object. They simply want the best, and will pay whatever they have to in order to get it. The amount is immaterial to them.

  11. That is because AMD is never on the top of the scale. AMD is a knock off also ran company.

  12. If you think those numbers mean anything then you clearly do not know what you are talking about. Intel invented the microprocessor.

  13. I am interested in Intel's GPU offering. I run Linux so I have a special reason to be excited about things. Intel's Linux support is second to none. They're true believers.

  14. I just want to play my Edison wax cylinders in my PC! I already bought them after all. What you're asking for is even more ridiculous than that. You want an entirely different binary. Two for the price of one!

  15. I would like to see some build quality material. A la Johnny Guru style. Like what brand filter capacitors are in it, and what the soldering is like. Just a shot of what is inside the PSU case would be nice. That's what you don't get to see before you buy something. Also it would be nice if you could measure the gauge of wire and if it is even copper or not. A lot of stuff coming out of China today is copper plated aluminum wire. You can tell by burning some of the conductor inside the insulation with a lighter flame. If it shrivels and twists up like burning hair it is copper plated. Which is kind of crap. Solid copper wire will just glow. You can scrape the copper coating off with a sharp blade and see the silver aluminum underneath the plating if you look really closely too. But the burn test is easier and more entertaining.

  16. I think Acer should be cast into the pit of Hellfire. To then suffer eternal torment and damnation. I'm not sure if it'd make up for what they did to me but it'd make me feel somewhat better knowing that was their fate. They're lying crooks.

  17. No way. They're lazy like Susan is. Gender privilege.

  18. You have to use conductive paste in the socket!

  19. Yeah but why'd it take them so long to make fans in a decent color? That tan and brown is disgusting. They get some kind of a discount on that on that plastic resin because no one else wants it? Fans are supposed to be black.

  20.  @colonelbubble  I don't know if color is the biggest criticism anyone can make. I would say that Noctua is about the most expensive gear going. I have Arctic fans and they do the job. For a quarter the price.

  21. On Gordon's advise I dropped $500 into my mailbox and I wrote Navi on it. I mean why waste an envelope? Just buy it.

  22. The whole PC market is really going places I am not interested in heading myself. It took me a while to find a boring case with no RGB, Transformers styling or glass side. I love my cheap Antec VSK4000E case though. It was like $28 shipped from Walmart.

  25. Ohm states that current equals voltage divided by resistance. So the higher the voltage is for a value of resistance the more current flows. A voltage regulator is not a constant current supply either. The only way to limit current is to reduce voltage. That way the load resistance cannot draw any more current. So the answer to the question is it is excessive current that kills. The relationship is that higher voltages lead to higher currents.

  26. Develop your own games. All the tools are available on Linux for free. You can run Linux without a compiler but why would you want to?

  27. Actually the cap screw being in a poor location could be considered a design feature. As it may keep some real boneheads from over cranking the mechanism.

  29. You can get air conditioner filter foam at Walmart. It costs like a dollar for a big sheet of it.

  30. 0.02 mm = 0.001 of an inch. Which really isn't mind blowing precision. 0.0001" kind of is.

  31.  @johnuferbach9166  sure. If the holes were 0.003 off they'd be fine. 0.001 is about the thickness of a hair. So a few hairs isn't much. You need some wiggle room in a screw through hole anyways. There's lose and tight fits there. In a PC case you're dealing with lose fit. The head of a case screw I have here is 0.3. The major diameter of the thread is 0.133 So the rim of the screw is 0.0835 Or 83.5 times bigger than 0.001. So the hole size clearly isn't much of a factor. Hole placement is.

  32. Plus you can grate cheese on mesh too. Make America Grate Again!

  33. The point of this video is to test the CPU. So they want to have as much GPU headroom as they can to take that out of the equation as much as possible. Once the GPU bottlenecks you're not testing the CPU anymore.

  35.  @ROMSradio  blockchain will be an important technology moving forward. Like many emergent industries the first incarnation likely will not be the most influential use case in the long run. Everything does have to start somewhere though.

  36.  @ROMSradio  it is very common that the killer app for new inventions isn't the first thing people think of. When Edison invented the phonograph he thought it'd be used in offices to record messages. So he called it the Dictaphone. When Tesla invented radio he wanted to transmit power wirelessly with it. We know how far off all of that is today. They weren't even close.

  37. After Ultra Quality you have to go plaid with ludicrous speed.

  38.  @ac0rpbg  The US has more minerals than China does. Including rare earths which are not rare at all.

  39.  @shawnpitman876  rare earth is not rare. What is rare is people willing to work cheap to mine it. That China has and the US does not. Which is why it is mined in China and not the USA. And yes you are reinforcing the stereotype.

  40. ​ @shawnpitman876  let's see what the USGS has to say about the topic, "The rare earths are a relatively abundant group of 17 elements composed of scandium, yttrium, and the lanthanides." Now what does, "relatively abundant" mean to you? Believe it or not economics is a large factor in markets. The cost of goods is materials and labor. So even if you have the materials if labor is high you're not going to produce. The USA is a very mineral rich nation. That's just how it is. If it exists we've got it. It does not always pay for us to mine materials though. Those damned miners expect a living wage here.

  42. Why would the people in charge be concerned? You think it is going to adversely impact them somehow? With a crippled economy they'll just be that much richer.

  43. You couldn't figure out what size screws to use? That sounds so helpless to me. But I guess not everyone has all of the transfer punch sets and a stock of all machine screws on hand.

  44.  @GamersNexus  bah there's plenty of forests already. I got one right in my backyard. http://i.imgur.com/SgGXiaT.jpg There's nothing but trees for miles in that direction. Well, ticks and snakes too. No mountains here though. Land's pretty flat. So no good mountain biking.

  45.  @joesterling4299  it is the trees squatting in my front yard that I need to evict. I need to mix up a special batch of premix because my chainsaw only likes 40 to 1 in it. Right now trees are making my yard look like San Francisco too. They're dropping their sh*t all over the place! I need a vacuum trailer I can pull behind my tractor to clean the joint up. Moving to a desert always crosses my mind this time of year.
