Do you watch Linus Tech Tips?

[Dat Derpy Horse]

Hey,

Lately been getting into computer building and was wondering if anyone else watches Tech YouTubers like Linus Tech Tips or JayzTwoCents.

If so whats your favorite video

[Silicate Wielder]

Linus Tech Tips (I am a member on their site)
JayzTwoCents
Teksyndicate
Pimp My Setup

I think my next build will be using an Xeon x3220 :3 Or perhaps an Intel Core Quad Q6600

I only watch such stuff when I search for something specific. Also I never remember the Tech Channels name I watched just for temporary purposes.

[northy]

Yes. I enjoyed the server stuff the most and the sub zero phase cooled pc

[CosmicNoodle]

Awesomesuace Network for life!

Also Linus, gotta love the video quality, also, Scrapyard Wars, epic

[Asphyxia]

I'm currently paying for Vessel to watch Linus Tech Tips and Colin Furze etc. it's great - wouldn't go back to YouTube to be honest.

I'm currently watching their WAN Show as I wander here at the forums. :D

Same:D

I watch most of their videos. I almost wish they did more straight reviews and less "TV" style content though.

When it comes to building a custom Rig, I prefer doing it on my own. I have seen shows on YouTube, but I find them utterly pointless. I learned by trial and expensive error. Reading and talking to people. If I run into a snag I look it up. But most of my knowledge comes from sites like PCMag, PCWorld, Toms Hardware and Maximum PC

I agree, but the other videos are both entertaining and useful. E.g hardline watercooling is something I was considering but have been put off after seeing how much trouble they had.

They also explore new concepts, like whole room watercooling.

I understand the reasoning behind water cooling. Besides the ability of moving heat from the silicon fast, it has a bad ass air to it. Especially if the water has a blacklight reactive colors.

By issue with it is simple, having water in the case with electronics is inviting disaster. However there is an other way of cooling it with a liquid that is non conductive. Submerge the board into a tank filled with mineral oil.

I usually watch tech tips or tutorials on running and securing Linux servers.
I run a website and someone in China and Brazil has tried over 2.5k times trying to break into my server.

I generate my passwords with all the characters being unique. containing both special and numerical characters, making it literally impossible to crack with average hardware.

I've watched Linus a few times, it's okay.

Yes, but oil pcs are a nightmare to upgrade and if they leak..

yeah they can be. But I would rather deal with a leak with a nonconductive fluid then a very conductive fluid.

[northy]

Yes, until the oil ruins, the carpet, furniture and everything. It makes a slick that is almost impossible to remove.
Personally, I use high end air coolers, noctua stuff

[Uniquemind]

Yes.

His recent video where the company server died and he had to call for help interested me.

[Merk]

yeah I watch it frequently they do good stuff

[TeenPortland]

Yup
I like the consumer product reveiws(ZBoard, etc. )
