Personal Rig Update 2012 Part 1 - Tearing Out Some Stuff, Discussing Plans Linus Tech Tips

[crodo123]

so you run those SSDs in raid 0 linus? with that 600 dollars raid card wouldn't like 3 or 4 intel 510s be faster? just asking i dont really know

[Randon03]

cool cant wait to see it built !

[TheMcmasterz]

169 haha

[michaelzhou8100]

WAIT, So you use linus then? lmao

[MightyMaik1031]

Ok Linus, where did you find the unlimited money cheat >.>...

[SOAPYL96A1]

and the girl with like a fucking glock will do what??

[ReeceNosnah]

What size are those compression fittings on your Apogee HD Gold?

[Xmascool98]

Thumbs up Who think the cat is real!

[turboloverxdsehn]

they look BALLIN' :)

[McsTarget]

OMG there was a computer under that cat :)

[web1bastler]

eight ssd's!?! °^° *looking at my "gaming" computer with two 160gig netbook drives*

damn.......

[sixflagsbelgium]

i bet that cat wil game like a boss

[bboy2143]

wow.. gtx 590 <3

[skatingrock2]

haha 69



[motherfackingsob]

butt clenching back cable management 

[zivjax]

Cool cat! Looks like a little cheetah.

[TheReaperzGamez]

what cpu are you going with

[timebandit71]

will it run caesar 3??!!!!

[Marveh]

what does the killer xeno network card do? allow you to use more of your bandwidth? because i have 25mb/s download speed, but i never seem to get over 2.8mb/s

[aswells3]

@Marveh 25mb/s comes out to 3.125Mb/s. How close you get to your theoretical bandwidth limit depends on your provider and your location. I'd say you're doing pretty well :)

[Marveh]

@aswells3 Ahh, wasn't aware of that :) God everything is almost more complex than it first seems when computers are involved ;P

[patroman320]

That is the coolest cat I have ever seen...what kind is it? Also nice rig.

[emilracerbil]

Now thats pretty nice.. But u need 2x 590 :D

[0oDarkLordRevano0]

I remember when the cat comments were funny...

[kamil3985]

how much money would you sell the old mother board for

[Redbiertje]

I feel like were divided into two groups here

1. PC lovers

2. Cat lovers

[elementalkid1]

That's one nice pussy!

[TimTomTwo]

"...9260 LSI Raid Card hooked up to 8 SSDs in the back..."

And he just said that like he doesn't give a fuck

[envyus83]

@TimTomTwo I wouldn't be suprised that in the next few years he will have like 50 SSDs.

[MarceL12490]

@ExorcismSaw AMEN ! :>

[MrBALAKUMARA]

meow!!!!

[Scheefinator]

This is WAY too overkill. Seriously.

[babygravy696]

linus quick question y not just have 16 SSDs? i feel 8 is real amateur stuff.

[glennxavier38]

This dude got cash.

[AFSnoman]

Where do you get a fan balancer like that?

[yutdem]

Linus,just curious..Why 4 SSD's?

[eric62451]

@yutdem actually is 8, btw in case you know. since when there is a motherboard that has so many SATA ports?

[yutdem]

@eric62451 Sorry 8 SSD's..lol Im still curious why only SSD's..you could easily use say 2 SSD's and 2 two TB drives.

[only1sn1not1taken]

@yutdem Because he's annoyed with even his PSU fan. He doesn't want to have to listen to an HHD because well.... he'd have the annoyance of hearing it? He wants it to run as quietly as his phone! =P

[gundambob646]

@only1sn1not1taken when i game i just turn the volume up. Fan noise solved.

[DJsMinecraftNess]

@eric62451 He has a raid PCI-e card. He mentioned it in the beginning of the video

[pyronathanpyro]

How much was your case and i take it it has a window on the side of it ? if so how much was the case and where did you get it i like it its a big case i need one lol i have a antec lanbooy air open module case and i am worried about lots of dust getting sucked in so i may get a new case i liek yours :)cheers also what model case is it ? cheers

[degtyarev708]

I just choked on my own stomach... GODDAMN.

[anarhy88]

Not  to bad...

[cerbrus2]

you replaces a Enermax PSU with a XFX thats not even made by XFX???????????????????? WTF dude.

[R3leaZ]

It's not too bad............ damn too late

[VISHV14]

i love the cat!!thumbs up if you like her!!

[mapouchi2807]

Thumbs up if you want Linus to benchmark his cat

[pyronathanpyro]

are evga any good ? if so i know what im buying :)

[FailedSnail]

@pyronathanpyro EVGA -> GOOD.

[pyronathanpyro]

@FailedSnail so they are worth getting ? are they silent cards ? like the geforce gtx 550 550ti 650 and 650ti series ?

[only1sn1not1taken]

@pyronathanpyro EVGA is a trusted company for me. I've even had to use my warranty on a GPU at one point. I have to say that it was the most trouble free customer service that I had ever dealt with. So the customer support is there as well as good products.

[pyronathanpyro]

@only1sn1not1taken well thanks for the possative reply :) my list consist of anything nvidia but evga and some actual n vidia stuff there self :) cheers

[kidmoddersofamerica]

it may not be able to run minecraft, but it can run crysis 2 maxxed out with only 5 deciples of sound

[mrdkcf]

but can it play minecraft??? lmao thumbs up for a respnse

[eagle120196]

CAn i use stock core i5 fan (i not gonna overclock) and do i really need a SSD to play games like starcraft2 ,dota 2

[EmoticonMayhem]

@eagle120196 you can use the stock fan and you don't need an ssd to play games, when you play a game all the game data is saved to the RAM, the only difference an SSD would make is that the game would load faster, but once it's loaded it would make no difference

[josheeT]

@eagle120196 You CAN use stock fans, just remember cooling is important. Just maybe try to notice every so often if the pc is really heating up and take a break (It probably isn't even necessary but no one wants their expensive equip overheating). As for SSD forget it, they're AMAZING but not even close to required. As someone else mentioned, they're faster but once your games are loaded you're good to go.

[ExorcismSaw]

My cat would probably be dead if he was on my computer. XD

[utube0portal]

@ExorcismSaw stop being so cruel to animals. If you say that again ill call the authorities on you for animal cruelty.

[ExorcismSaw]

@utube0portal I'm not cruel to animals.

[ExorcismSaw]

Is it just me or does it seem like his video card is a bit bowed downwards?

[yellowocean155]

even his cat love the computer xD

[TrippyTechnology]

Just Linus running the ultimate furmark stability test

[EntombmentV1]

Got a cats tail Overclocked to Stripes

[CLENCHEDCURVE74]

if i put a old hard drive in a new computer without windows would i have to install windows

[iBruceGaming]

@CLENCHEDCURVE74 no

[Vennyscool911]

*Cat jumps on limited edition graphics card*

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[TazyTT22]

I love your cat!!!!

[InstinctsBossGuide]

What's the raid config of the 8 SSD's

[dagalsevidxela1]

dude your cat is so cute!!!!!!!!!

[Takomancer]

you gotta tell us about ur cat specs too

[RFXCGZZ]

i like the cat :DDDDD

[iVortexUK]

That all fine and dandy good sir. But can it run Crysis? 0.o

[TheBrinkOfInfinity]

@iVortexUK Anything can run Crysis, game devs need to up their game, a single GTX 460 can run Crysis at highest settings but sturggles in Crysis 2 at highest. 2 GTX 460's run everything at highest and never lag. 4 GTX 560's completely own every game on the market.

[GamerGod9590]

@TheBrinkOfInfinity uhm sarcasm?

[Zhyrez]

@TheBrinkOfInfinity Trolling, sarcasam or palin stupid? You cant have 4 way SLI with 560's they only support 2 way like pretty much every budget/mid class cards. And sure 2x460's are about the same preformance as a 580 but they only have 1GB VRam wich will not be enough to run modern games at 1920x1080 or higher and you cant uppgrade anymore after that since 460 only supports 2 way SLI.

[TheBrinkOfInfinity]

@Zhyrez 2 460's would run any game fine, 1 460 runs almost every game fine, ive never used 2 460's, I've got 2 580's and that runs any game at highest fine and I didnt know you couldent have 4.

[THEKINGBG1]

fan lame

watercooled lame

hydrogen fucking best

[thelsamar23]

why 480?

[sikesist]

imagine battlefield 3 ingame FPS... :)

[xThuggyCx]

dopest cat ive ever seen

[powerslideita]

Epic cat is epic

[daniel93ss]

Your kitty like a hot pc :)

[CThaine]

@1BYEBYE1 search youtube (EVGA GTX 480 Vs GTX 570 AvP DX11 Shootout)

Just one example. Its cheaper, uses much less power, and is equal to the 480 in benchmarks and tests within the margin of error. Which one is better? If you go to nvidia's site they even say themselves the 570 slightly beats a 480.

[1sword4you]

I want that cable management )))

[Th3James]

Love your cats and computers.

[wiryc36]

шампунь гавно!

[motorcycler11]

What breed is your cat? o:

[aeroaa2]

@motorcycler11 bengal

[motorcycler11]

@aeroaa2 Thank you.

[ejakeway]

I don't get how those SSD's are attached on the back?!

[LCBChef18]

@ejakeway velcro

[ejakeway]

@LCBChef18 Lol I watched part 2 and finally saw what it was. Thanks for replying.

[joe4ska]

I guess you can never have enough SSD.

[123aractus]

Wouldn't the GTX 480 be a slight bottleneck?

[1BYEBYE1]

@123aractus how? its better than a gtx 570.

[CThaine]

@1BYEBYE1 No its not lol

[1BYEBYE1]

@CThaine yes...a gtx 480 performs better than a gtx 570.

[SunnyB1996]

sexi 169

[cyfelix0201]

hey where can i get linus's 5.25 bay to fan adapter?

i want to put a radiator at the front of my case

[ingramjulian]

[zeddzeh]

[TheKKkMotherFucker]

0:08 for those of you who aren't familiar with my cat

[ToblakaiKarsa]

Nice build, Linus! So glad I stumbled on to your videos. Also, props to NCIX they saved my build by having the Dragon Rider White Limited edition in stock.

[hillumamu1]

Yeah, lots of radiators but what's the point? The wires are blocking everything! The front radiator is blowing hot air in your system!

[MrBarrbapapa]

How much did you spend on your machine?

[ToKiiNz]

@MrBarrbapapa i'd say about 3000$ usd

[SCHEISSKLAUS3D]

NICE LOOKING CAT DUDE!

[magiccarrot1]

love the new ideas linus. and what a sweet cat. lets have some in progress videos. as i'm thinking of going the water cooling route. and could do with some tips etc.

[uranumty]

@LinusTechTips what made you choose Nvidia over AMD?

[andyskater94]

if u want silence, u should get the antec p180 & get an evga board. the real sh*t lol

[FinlandApollo]

@andyskater94 P180 is silent? Yeah right...

[zIceCoLD]

[mastafaforga]

[DaModKing]

[iReviewsStuff]

Great video Linus go check out my channel (iReviewsStuff) I also do tech related videos too. I would gladly appreciate it.

[TurbidAttack954]

Does dust affect radiators?

[Shawkins49]

@TurbidAttack954 yes....

[ThatGuyIsLazy]

SEND ME YOUR OLD GTX CARD PLZ LINUSSSS!!!!!!!!

[nicholastechtips]

ridiculous. no other words can describe this rig

[CuberCalebHD]

i would use raid 10..... but seeing that ssd are so reliable i guess it doesnt matter.... and how are you plugging in 8 frives at that speed with a blue ray drive????

dont most mobos come with ony 6/8 total ports????

[MrCalinTM]

How can you upgrade from a 980X witch is a monster to a 2011 CPU ? It's useless man. You have too much money....

[MrCalinTM]

Linus 590GTX is junk at VRM. And Kepler will knock out the Fermi series, so kinda usless card.

[bLubB2BloBb]

My cat hates my computer because its too loud xD

[Beastsc0pes]

The kitty what to build computer :)

[SLADEizGOD]

I would of stayed with the GTX 580 card then then 590...

[roguehavikk]

Give away your old stuff, do it

[babarain99]

At back we can find the cat's tail
