It's incredible to me that a 2hr livestream closely matches the production quality of your fully edited videos. Some passages made me forget it was live.
well, linus said at the begining that there where stripted parts and he has dan and others on the promter to help him know what to do next or remind him, but still his high energy, experience and improv skill makes it look so natural that most of the time you can't tell what is scripted, what was practiced beforehand and what was thought on the spot
@@drandersjiang Nah, a good workplace is like this. It's previous obvious which parts are "scripted", you can tell a lot of LTT videos just have natural human interactions.
Dan, this one is for you. I generally don’t comment on videos, keeping my interactions limited to subscriptions and likes only, but Dan, man, your voice is top-notch radio broadcast quality. It would be so nice to have your voice in some of the future videos, anything, any segment, any commentary or voiceover, or even a short plug of LTT store. It’s just awesome.
When Linus opened that case saying it wasn’t too big, my first thought was he’s full of it, that’s huge! Then I remembered that he’s Linus-Sized, so it’s probably a decent size.
@@kurok1tenshi The P500A is 20x9.5x20. The O11 is more squat than the traditional layout of the P500A. It's shorter by 2.5 inches and not as deep by a bit over an inch, but it's wider by over an inch as well. They're both still in the mid-tower category.
It's a pretty standard mid tower. A bit bigger than the h510 style or meshify mini but only by a couple inches, and the extra room makes it quite nice to build in. The Phanteks P series is my go to recommendation these days as they're really impressive for the price.
Everytime I watch 1 of your video's I am continually amazed at your work ethic , your care of your employees, your comittment to Canadian content and Companies to supply your Companies. On top of this your humour and ability to make some boring into a funny situation. Its a pleasure to be a member here and whilst I can't afford to me a paying member because I am a 67 year old pensioner I do love everything you do. I have only learnt to refurbish and build computers in the last 2 and a 1/2 years and a lot of what I have learnt is directly attributed to your videos. Last year I refurbished or build new 61 computers.I don't put much on my builds just as long as I cover costs. I like to work with disadvantaged people in the comunity where possible but its terrible the amount of people that try and fake being disadvantaged just to get something done for free or cheap. I once fixed up a Computer that had been sold to a guy from a not so reputable person and it only lasted a short time before it wouldn't work anymore.. I fixed it for him and to his credit he paid me what he could afford and the smile on his son in front of a working computer would have been payment enough.
there's also a notepad ++ plugin that will autosave everytime the window un focuses and refocuses for when your flipping back and forth between apps and editing perams that could cause a crash. super recomend
As soon as Linus said Notepad I facepalmed. The teammate/coworker could have used CTRL+S. Instead, they don't, and they get what's coming to them ("they get what's coming to them" as-in, they get what happens when you don't-use CTRL+S often). Also, they could have used Notepad++, NotepadQQ, or "Kate" (that is the name of the "KDE"-desktop-environment "advanced--text-editor" program). Hell they could have used Gedit also. ("Gedit" is the name of the text-editor program for[/of] the "GNOME" desktop-environment).
I worked in the molding industry for years and oversaw the designs. I would love to help you guys with your molding problems. The problems you have are very easy to fix, and you should be able to do all the things you want.
Crucial: I don't know [why we sent them], I thought you might put drives in things sometimes. Linus: _installs Crucial drive in front of 100k+ people and says they're great_
I had to laugh out loud at that part. I personally use Crucial drives too because Samsung ones always seems to be either out of stock or overpriced (probably related to the low stock). They've been pretty reliable too.
Can confirm, have been using the same Crucial SSD in my personal computer, then in a laptop, then in my parent's computer for the better part of a decade now and it's still just working, which is insane to me. I've never had an SSD actually fail on me, but theirs is the oldest one in my fleet, so they get bonus points.
It's really amazing how Linus can keep viewers entertained and the stream interesting for almost 2 hours. On other channels, I'd get bored and tune out after about 10-15 minutes, but here, with the production quality _on a livestream_ being better than some other channels' regular content quality, Linus's great storytelling and of course, pc building, I never get bored.
@@charredolive were are u looking? Plenty of 3070s on amazon for $500-$550 and 3070tis under $700. Msrp if for founders cards. OEM boards are usually always around $100 over
I've got a friend very much like Dan. He's the kind of person that you occasionally have to remind to stop making miracles happen at his IT job because that sets an expectation that the other engineers can't sustain. It's also the dry wit, which is one of my favorite kinds. I spent a tremendous amount of time watching British television on satellite while I was doing homework and projects, so a dry wit is now my default sense of humor.
I'm sure there's some loser that will whine about it. And if the sponsors are one of those companies without a backbone, they might get mad. Instead of being a company that tells the whiny losers to deal with it. Companies are spineless now and they'll apologize, or fire someone, to make those losers that cry about stuff happy. Companies need to start telling the Twitter losers to go get effed.
Probably not the best exaggeration he could have chose, but I definitely appreciate this type of sentiment from Linus. More public figures should make people aware that their public persona does not necessarily equal their actual personality. This should be obvious to any human that's ever interacted with any other human for more than five minutes, but sadly it is not.
55:55 I've said this before about integrated I/O shields, but honestly the rear-installed power supply is up there for "most underrated innovation in PC building". So, so much easier to put in than trying to wrestle it in there.
I love the combo: - one person building a computer, and dialog with audience - second person side working on a computer, and side conversing It's like a Jam Session. Taking me for a ride with a cool group of people.
I like the conversational vibe of this. It's good to hear Linus talk business w team members and touch on vendor design philosophies. Enjoyed all the honorable mentions of products they almost used and why. Also, it's really flippin cool to see them go through their tech and logistic processes, dealing with vendor relationships, and business rationale. Dan is also a good addition to the dialogue.
Only LTT can publish a 2 hour video and not get any flack for its length.....nice job. Watched the entire freaking thing....enjoyable all the way through.....dog knows what hes doing
Man. Working for Linus must be the absolute best job in the world. "My employees may at times have to use mobile hotspot from the plan that I pay for. Hey that's okay right guys?" What a guy.
Just wanted to state, I thoroughly enjoy your little rants and really like watching these kinds of videos. I get so much tech perspective that I apply often and a vast majority of it, I get from videos like these listening to you. Just wanted to say that. Don't mind your tangents one bit. :)
note to any webcam company: If you are gonna sponsor a youtuber, DONT GO FOR LINUS, his camera gear is so overly top gear that even if your product is really dam good, itll look trash when compared to his
i can agree for the average consumer . anyone who knows a thing or two about videography or photography then it makes it easy to just pull examples from your head.
To be fair, my reaction whenever it switched to the webcam was "I mean it doesn't look quite as good as the other camera..." and then I remembered the quality of his cameras and was thoroughly impressed with the webcam hahahah Plus the fact that it does all internal processing (no load on cpu etc) and has remote with zoom functions etc has made me REALLY look at purchasing that webcam for Zoom Tutoring
@@benkle3000 I've been out of the game for a few years now, but I recommend looking at used dslr prices. As long as the shutter count isn't absurd its a truly worth owning. Its nice to look through 1000's of photos and videos throughout the years.
That's what I love about the streams! They are not only fun, but very informative on the state of things, state of the company, and techy in general! Nice!!
If Nexego made that webcam into a dashcam, even with its size, I would buy one in heartbeat. I'd pay up too 350$ or even 400$ USD without hesitation to have a dashcam that's actually worth half a crap.
The problem is energy, for selling a dashcam you need to make it able to power it from the smoke connector, you COULD connect it to the alternator (witch is possible and not that difficult I've done it with led lights and an Android radio) but it would be a nieche product
"6 workstations, 1 cpu - nobody builds a machine like that and actually deploys it, that would be stupid." 1990's VAX mainframe: "Listen here you young whippersnapper"
ok respect. linus feels about and defines "fan" the way that it should be known. apple did a real number on marketing when they pushed the whole process of building "fans".
I disagree, whilst the word fan does derive from fanatic, I think it's possible to be fans of things without being fanatical about them. The word has evolved since then and taken on new meaning. That said, I do appreciate that lots of people who call themselves fans are fanatical about the thing they're a fan of (sports teams is a good example).
As someone who became an avid LTT watcher because of the streams having Dan mic’d was 10/10 (I always wished had David mic’d when was there for the streams). I think some bullet points are good but every now and then it did feel a little too scripted. I think the moments Linus is just hanging out building computers and telling stories as they pop to mind are what made me love the streams so much, I’d hate to see that get lost.
I built a computer in 2021... I was upgrading from a 7700k system which I'd only had since 2019. For my new rig I got a 5600x, 6700xt, 32Gb 3200 Corsair vengeance LPX, Corsair RM850x PSU, Samsung 980 Pro ssd, Gigabyte Aorus Master B550 motherboard, Corsair 4000D Airflow case. It's a pretty good PC but the Aorus master motherboard didn't come with front panel USB-c. A few of the components I upgraded later like the 6700xt which I got for $300 in November last year. I still have the box from an Asus motherboard I bought in like 2004... a P4B533! (533 Mhz FSB!)
@@broken1965 it's the new house phenomenon. Everytime a new host comes around (Sarah, Anthony, Dan, etc), there's thousands of people that get distracted by new shiny things, and think that they're the best host. They start drooling on themselves, banging their helmet on the wall, and licking the glass.
I basically built the AMD version of this with the Asus Proart X570 Creator Wifi and 5800X. Same cooler, but opted for a Define 7. Note that Asus already discontinued the X570 Proart board after like 5 months of production tops. I would have verified that they plan on producing more of the Z690 version, maybe stockpile a few spares. Overall they are nice boards, just wish they had more PCIe x1 slots. I hate how these ATX sized boards only have 3 slots these days.
Ok, now I am really sad that I will have to go Intel then. I was dead set on the X570 Creator cause I have a dead set use for all that I/O (even the 2.5gb ethernet despite not having a NAS)
@@OfficialDJSoru Another option is to go Zen 4 as Asus is selling a X670E version of the board. Same I/O, just that they can't advertise Thunderbolt as it is not certified. The USB4 ports are powered by a Maple Ridge controller.
@@NJRoadfan No dice then. When I do a full upgrade, I keep the same CPU and Mobo at the very least for 8 years. I know how costly it can be, but it is worth it in the long run since I do not wanna deal with the future issue of having to add PCIe cards to do the functionality I need. I know this sounds picky but I need guarantee of Thunderbolt even if it is the older 3 protocol cause of future investment in hubs that support TB. (basically I work with a lot of external hard drives and peripherals, so 8 USB ports already feels like I am cutting it close)
@@OfficialDJSoru Best shot is a 3rd party seller then. My board is still nib, but I really don't want to sell the cpu and ram and go zen 4 or intel due to the added expense.
This stream reminds me of Mr. Rogers but for grown up tech nerds lol. Just opening and door to go talk to our friends. Interaction with the audience. Teaching, discussing. This is great.
25:30 "I'm not a fan but I respect G.Skill RAM" Those could have been my words. I had one G.Skill stick that was broken on arrival but other than that, I've had zero issues with higher quality G.Skill RAM. And unlike some of the other manufacturers, their advertised XMP clocks haven't been vulnerable to rowhammer attack. I would also try to avoid any RGB and windows.
I like the shelving for the GPUs, honestly I wouldn't've thought of something like that and just put them all in their boxes or tetris'd it with all my other components like I did when I moved
Been rocking a Sandy Bridge-e i7-3930k with 32GB DDR3 since February 2012. It's been fine, so no, never upgraded. It's finally time. Just trying to decide between Raptor Lake and Ryzen 7000. Couldn't agree more about upgrading when it feels right FOR YOU
yeah i mean i did the exact same thing myself already too, Its a emotional moment for alot in the UK for our old queenie, may she rest in peace. I dont think anyones gonna really have an issue with linus for this. Canada and some other countries may have our monarchs as a form of representative but they really dont have much to do with our monarch compared to the UK.
@@littlejackalo5326 Well she is someone that was always on spotlight for the majority living in the uk. She's on our money, stamps,TV news but she is also the one thing that has kept Britian stable.
Linus, I’m glad that you’re standardizing! As an IT professional, I talk with my boss daily on standardizing our machines. We currently have dells and hp all in ones. All of them are different models.
I just started watching this again and what strikes me is that it would be so much 'nicer' if for future videos the Top View camera can be turned 180 degrees so we can see (and feel) much better of watching all. Please pretty please, thank you. Back to watching it and adjusting my shopping list for my first project since 4 years, using the newer versions , like 13th gen, Z790 , NH-D15 .... etc....
Kudos to Linus for not dropping anything during the 1 hour 47 minutes of his streaming. Usually you would expect him to drop something like a card of RAM or something PC parts. But no, he didn't fail this time. Give this lad a Cheeto, he deserves it! Great job, Linus!
The G.Skill memory part is a really good point. The Corsair Vengeance LPX is a prime example. They had several revisions of the same 3200MHz model and they kept flipping between samsung and Hynix modules which made it difficult for a lot of people to get stable ram with it.
Ive been telling my water cooling friends the same thing for EONS - air coolers JUST WORK - long as its clean and has a good fan on it you set and forget so to speak they run for literally YEARS with no issues unless a fan bearing goes out, but thats rare with a quality fan and even if it does happen theres protective cooling still left in the tower itself even with a dead fan, far less likely to cook or over heat a CPU.
I am an IT guy and in my experience, standardizing things does not REALLY help. In our company we have two main types of enterprise-grade Laptops. One batch can be fine, the next can give you only headaches for some unexplicable reason. Sure, some devices are lemons out of the box, but if you do your research and stay with the main brands, you should be fine. Also, at least in our experience, building the PC yourself hardly offers enough savings to be worth the time that could be spent elsewhere. We tried it and still do it when we have time just for giggles and to keep our skills sharp. But almost all our Computers are off-the-shelf. However, almost all of our machines are used to run Office and RDS and that's it. Nowhere near the requirements that LTT would have.
I'm always sus of people like Dan, somehow he's quickly become one of my favorite people at LMG and I'm getting hidden evil villain vibes like with Anthony my other favorite mwahaha.
Man I see LTT for at least 5 or 6 years. I'm an it consultant and part time music producer, I was starting to have some minor issues with my projects (bigger loads on an 8 years i7 4790k, project's audio cracking and so on ) so I started reminiscing on a new machine. I went for something very very similar to this and the only compromise was to use ddr4 ram and a different less expensive mboard. I have to say I know the processor is 5 or 6 gen away from the other but still... What an amazing performance boost on this build. I reused some stuff (video card, pro audio card, WI fi card) and and was able to build this under 900! The thing eats anything I send it! Super creative freedom, not having hiccups and being able to take care of every production stage on the same project!!! I waited for a year to see what happened with the new tech, check if stuff was stable, and made the move!!! Great recomendation on the i5. It's important to say the i5 has lots of flavors, I opted to stay away from i5 12600 as it doesn't has the e cores. And I never liked the kf versions as graphics might be necessary. Só, Linus ... Thank for being there guiding us!
Hi Linus and crew. I have been watching your channel for quite some time now. I have always been interested in tech but watching your channel over the years has motivated me to try to make a career out of it. I got a job in IT and have never been happier with my job! I learned how to build computers by watching you do it I dont know how many hundreds of times now. I just finished putting my gaming rig together and am VERY proud of it even though it's not really high end. I have a Ryzen 5 5600X, Asus ROG Strix B550-f Wifi mobo, Phanteks Revolt Pro 850W PSU, 32 GB XPG D60 3200 MHZ RAM, and a EVGA RTX 3060 ti, in a Lian Li O11 Dynamic case. I really wanted to put a RTX 3080 ti in there but it was NOT in my budget unfortunately. I love that I could build my PC myself and that is thanks to you. Keep it up Linus and crew. You do a lot more good than you know.
I’m glad that this video covers the issue that is inherent with general PC installations. At the university I work for we buy hundreds of the same workstations. That means when we fix one problem we potentially fix hundreds.
17:20 Nice way to enforce the 1 TB standard is to format that 2 TB drive with only 1 TB partition and leave the rest unused. This would be good for the drive internal wear leveling algorithm, too, as a bonus.
I don't think their problem is having 1 tb or not, but that they want to be using the exact same drives in all systems. They said they only need it as a bootdrive and that any actual work is supposed to be stored on the servers, so you already have that extra space.
@@desertkil Yes, and if you only partition the first 1 TB of the 2 TB device, you can later clone the first 1 TB of that device to 1 TB hardware to downgrade to official standard format without losing any data or having to reformat the storage.
DEAR LINUS.. I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS FROM 2016 . I AM REALLY VERY HAPPY THAT I HAD LEARNT SO MUCH FROM YOUR CONTENT. HOWEVER I CAN'T AFFORD A HIGH END PC 😂 . BUT YOUR VIDEOS MADE ME TO DO GREAT AND MOTIVATED ME ALOT. I WOULD LIKE TO BE LIKE YOU IN FUTURE 🙂. GOD BLESS YOU
I mean, she was technically still the Queen of Canada. It’s not *only* ceremonial; the military, for example, is still under the Dominion - the Governor General of Canada, in practice, operates as a representative of monarch and actively communicates with them. That’s not to say that the monarch really does anything to intervene, but they certainly *could* (it would just be seen as grossly unpopular and unnecessary).
I have two fans on my 120, one inside, one outside, push/pull. If one goes out, cooling does not fail, redundant. One thing I don't need to worry about.

The NAS question is good, I'd like to make one that I can set to auto sync with my phone, girlfriend's phone, pc, etc., so that I can do away with any sort of paid-for cloud storage. A video on this would be greatly appreciated 🙃
With ZFS, They don't have to be matching. You can use larger drives as replacements, they just won't be fully utilized until the entire VDEV has been upgraded to at least that size. I actually set my pools up so that each drive is a little bigger than the last so each time I replace the smallest drive, it boosts the size of the pool by a bit. That way I don't have to buy all the drives in batches. It's a bit wasteful of space, but it is a frugal option for upgrade paths, and I only upgrade one drive when the pool gets to a certain percentage full.
Cool, the e6530 plays Halo 2 Cartographer in 1080p default settings perfectly. However it does struggle in some map areas and I tried CSAA 8x and it got pinned to the 30&40s, so I turned off the anti-aliasing and it jumped back to 60fps+Vsync. That is comfotably more than my Tecra A11 can say, it merely handles 720p with plenty of 30fps dips without Vsync and cinematic spots do chug horrendously. I had fun experimenting with both machines with this game as Halo 2 Cartographer can really push a half decent gpu. Oh yeah>NVS 2100m&5200m.
The NVS2100M is basically a G210, so yeah. Muy potato. The related 8400GS (same chip with half the shaders / TMUs and DDR2 memory) will even turn fullscreen _video playback_ on a 1920x1200 screen into a slideshow with Windows Aero on... GPU loading basically halves with it off. You don't often hear of a GT610 as a revelation, LOL. The NVS5200M with GF117 should have about twice as much _grunt_ as that, really not a bad little GPU for the time. Funny how I'm well familiar with all of these machines, we've had plenty of iGPU-only E6520s, A11s (along with S10s - the battery charging algorithm ought to have been grounds for a class action lawsuit, it's that bad, it'll literally continue until emergency temperature cutoff kicks in) and even the odd E6530 at work. I still have E6330 and E6520 at home. Nice machines although screen calibration was _direly_ needed. Laptop screens used to be so bad, I'm glad that IPS panels are pretty much standard now. Interestingly, with dual channel RAM the performance between HD Graphics 3000 and NVS4200M on the E6520 seems to be almost identical in Furmark P720, even power consumption is. So I settled on the iGPU only, not the least because you can tackle PWM flickering then (which would annoy the living daylight out of me otherwise).
@@PileOfEmptyTapes First off, I'm also using Windows 7 Aero Blue what a quink-dink. Second, I don't think a G210 is quite close enough of a gpu to use as a reference as DX10 and 10.1 are different API levels in the DX11.1 family. Three, that was a lot of information that I'm shockingly familiar with. I'm a total stranger who knows what you're talking about by chance.
Those ProArt Creator boards are seriously the slickest and sexiest boards on the market. I used the B660 with a 12600KF to hopefully be my next 5 year build. I can always go 13th Gen i7/i9 if this starts to show issues, but I was still reasonably happy with my 4790k until I did this build around New Years.
This isn't related but your awesome Linus I truly go through your videos anytime I am comparing or about to buy I look for a review or comparison I love the honesty even when the thing is awesome I can't stress that enough so many of these reviews on YT are fake or paid for and not honest that bothers me a lot. Thanks for sharing
Love the comment he made on the guy who still uses an i7-7700K. I do too, been using the same CPU since 2017. It's never given me issues, it runs fine, and it does everything I need it to do. If you don't need to upgrade, do not feel pressured to upgrade. I'm personally going to be purchasing a new laptop with some specs that are crazy compared to my desktop because I need a good laptop for photography and school, but my desktop is going to remain the same for as long as possible. Old hardware isn't bad hardware, if it lasts you then hold onto it. No need to keep up with all the new releases. And shit, if you do need to upgrade, try finding a couple generation old part that's much cheaper than the new stuff and will still be a major upgrade to what you've got.
You should put those people in those Harbor Freight Workbenches for 100 bucks. As soon as you get one together it starts to become extensible. Mine is becoming amazing. I mounted a 24 outlet power strip behind it. It has a roku, a radio, battery chargers, there is a monitor mounted to the wall next to it, there are 3 outlets built in, I've got a computer test bench setup on the bottom shelf waiting for broken junk, you just can't go wrong.
I had a 1000W season focus that was dead on arrival just back in July. With that being said, ive been using seasonic for 15+ years and they have been rock solid.
I was really into this, and followed the rational in terms of part selection, right up until you decided to put a 3050 in the system. I would have at least gone 3060, and I like the original idea of using 3070s. But you obviously know what you guys need way more than I do haha. Are these for editing as well? You mentioned standardizing these computers, but does that include the editing workstations? Or are these for the writers and stuff mainly? Can you even use a 3050 for the kind of editing work you do? Or is editing not done on the local machines? I find it hard to understand the rational of using a 3050, especially when you go with a 12600k and a ballin ass motherboard. Sorry if this sounds ignorant, I'm not super familiar with what is required for video editing as I'm not a video editor, but I feel you would need something better than the 3050 at least.
I chalk it up to cost. The 3050s are still better than older generation GPUs for less money. I mean they can be found new for less than $250, and with the 4000 series around the corner, keeping costs low now and upgrading later seems the better route. Sinking 4070 money into 3070s when the 4060 will be better than the 3080 seems silly. 3050s are a good temporary budget option, and everything else is somewhat future-proofed.
1:23:03 I actually had a very similar experience when I bought my GTX 1050 Ti in early 2017! The cheapest option on Amazon was from EVGA, and it was their SSC version, with a big 3-fan cooler that was longer than its PCB. IIRC it had the highest factory overclock of any 1050 Ti of the time, as well. Yet it was like $20 less than the next cheapest option from a reputable brand, which only had a single fan and no factory OC, lol. I lucked tf out too, because the crypto boom spiked GPU prices literally before the card arrived to me XD

You should be careful recommending Unraid with parity. They use btrfs, and the btrfs documentation says their implementation of raid 5/6 "should not be used for production, only for evaluation and testing". I don't know how likely failure is or under what circumstances, but it's definitely a caveat that should be mentioned. Edit: I was mistaken, Unraid uses XFS as the default filesystem on all devices (except cache devices; they use BTRFS)
Unraid doesn't use btrfs for the multi drive stuff. Each drive is an individual btrfs fs. You should not use unraid anyway though because unraid has a really bad caching strategy that can lead to massive dataloss as the cache is not redundant.
@@danieljonsson8095 So, if i'm understanding you correctly, each disk has it's own filesystem and Unraid implements another layer of logical volume management on top?
@@ianhamilton350 Correct. Specifically, XFS, Reiser or Btrfs is supported. This is because these are used to detect bit rot and such. Then the array itself runs similarly to unionfs, with parity done similar to snapraid. And that’s where you get serious issues. Like if I write a file. Now first, it’s written to the cache drive. And it just sits there. It’s a schedule to write from cache to array, so it can be hours before the cache is written to array which is itself ridiculous, but also because if cache now dies, so does your data. Now next step is that it writes the data to the array. Deleted it from the cache, and only now does it start calculating the parity, in another god damn schedule. All while all data that that was just now written to the drive, is lost if any drive in the array fails. It’s an absolutely terrible choice for data safety, and with modern array handling and drives, it’s also terrible for speed which used to be its strong selling point. Hence, it should no longer be recommended, at all, anywhere really.

@@RossReedstrom that's what I love
well, linus said at the begining that there where stripted parts and he has dan and others on the promter to help him know what to do next or remind him, but still his high energy, experience and improv skill makes it look so natural that most of the time you can't tell what is scripted, what was practiced beforehand and what was thought on the spot
i like how linus's employees are allowed to tell him he's wrong. says a lot.
It's almost like it's all an act...
A very wealthy businessman was asked why he was so successful and he said it was because he employed better than him.
In what dictatorship circle of hell workplace would that not be OK?
Well... when you're wrong a lot...
@@drandersjiang Nah, a good workplace is like this. It's previous obvious which parts are "scripted", you can tell a lot of LTT videos just have natural human interactions.
Dan, this one is for you.
I generally don’t comment on videos, keeping my interactions limited to subscriptions and likes only, but Dan, man, your voice is top-notch radio broadcast quality. It would be so nice to have your voice in some of the future videos, anything, any segment, any commentary or voiceover, or even a short plug of LTT store. It’s just awesome.
When Linus opened that case saying it wasn’t too big, my first thought was he’s full of it, that’s huge! Then I remembered that he’s Linus-Sized, so it’s probably a decent size.
Yeah you have to multiply apparent case dimensions by about 1.4 when using Linus for scale
I have the P500A as well lol. It is NOT a big case at all.
@@spdcrzy Ye it is, i have a Lianli O11 D and the p500A is bigger and the normal O11 isn´t small.
@@kurok1tenshi The P500A is 20x9.5x20. The O11 is more squat than the traditional layout of the P500A. It's shorter by 2.5 inches and not as deep by a bit over an inch, but it's wider by over an inch as well. They're both still in the mid-tower category.
It's a pretty standard mid tower. A bit bigger than the h510 style or meshify mini but only by a couple inches, and the extra room makes it quite nice to build in. The Phanteks P series is my go to recommendation these days as they're really impressive for the price.
Everytime I watch 1 of your video's I am continually amazed at your work ethic , your care of your employees, your comittment to Canadian content and Companies to supply your Companies. On top of this your humour and ability to make some boring into a funny situation. Its a pleasure to be a member here and whilst I can't afford to me a paying member because I am a 67 year old pensioner I do love everything you do. I have only learnt to refurbish and build computers in the last 2 and a 1/2 years and a lot of what I have learnt is directly attributed to your videos. Last year I refurbished or build new 61 computers.I don't put much on my builds just as long as I cover costs. I like to work with disadvantaged people in the comunity where possible but its terrible the amount of people that try and fake being disadvantaged just to get something done for free or cheap. I once fixed up a Computer that had been sold to a guy from a not so reputable person and it only lasted a short time before it wouldn't work anymore.. I fixed it for him and to his credit he paid me what he could afford and the smile on his son in front of a working computer would have been payment enough.

It's genius marketing.
I had to laugh out loud at that part. I personally use Crucial drives too because Samsung ones always seems to be either out of stock or overpriced (probably related to the low stock). They've been pretty reliable too.
@@GinsuSher I've never had a problem finding Samsung drives in stock and at a good price
Can confirm, have been using the same Crucial SSD in my personal computer, then in a laptop, then in my parent's computer for the better part of a decade now and it's still just working, which is insane to me. I've never had an SSD actually fail on me, but theirs is the oldest one in my fleet, so they get bonus points.
Literally why I bought mine. Linus.
It's really amazing how Linus can keep viewers entertained and the stream interesting for almost 2 hours. On other channels, I'd get bored and tune out after about 10-15 minutes, but here, with the production quality _on a livestream_ being better than some other channels' regular content quality, Linus's great storytelling and of course, pc building, I never get bored.

I've got a friend very much like Dan. He's the kind of person that you occasionally have to remind to stop making miracles happen at his IT job because that sets an expectation that the other engineers can't sustain. It's also the dry wit, which is one of my favorite kinds. I spent a tremendous amount of time watching British television on satellite while I was doing homework and projects, so a dry wit is now my default sense of humor.

Someone is definitely going to clip that.
I'm sure there's some loser that will whine about it. And if the sponsors are one of those companies without a backbone, they might get mad. Instead of being a company that tells the whiny losers to deal with it. Companies are spineless now and they'll apologize, or fire someone, to make those losers that cry about stuff happy. Companies need to start telling the Twitter losers to go get effed.
@@fleshy420 bruh
Probably not the best exaggeration he could have chose, but I definitely appreciate this type of sentiment from Linus. More public figures should make people aware that their public persona does not necessarily equal their actual personality. This should be obvious to any human that's ever interacted with any other human for more than five minutes, but sadly it is not.
55:55 I've said this before about integrated I/O shields, but honestly the rear-installed power supply is up there for "most underrated innovation in PC building". So, so much easier to put in than trying to wrestle it in there.

This was a great video, It was more about you and your business, not just another hardware review. Very good show. Thankyou for doing the show.
I like the conversational vibe of this. It's good to hear Linus talk business w team members and touch on vendor design philosophies. Enjoyed all the honorable mentions of products they almost used and why.
Also, it's really flippin cool to see them go through their tech and logistic processes, dealing with vendor relationships, and business rationale.
Dan is also a good addition to the dialogue.
Queen: *dies*

Just wanted to state, I thoroughly enjoy your little rants and really like watching these kinds of videos. I get so much tech perspective that I apply often and a vast majority of it, I get from videos like these listening to you. Just wanted to say that. Don't mind your tangents one bit. :)
note to any webcam company: If you are gonna sponsor a youtuber, DONT GO FOR LINUS, his camera gear is so overly top gear that even if your product is really dam good, itll look trash when compared to his
i can agree for the average consumer . anyone who knows a thing or two about videography or photography then it makes it easy to just pull examples from your head.
can't be unseen! it looks awful!
To be fair, my reaction whenever it switched to the webcam was "I mean it doesn't look quite as good as the other camera..." and then I remembered the quality of his cameras and was thoroughly impressed with the webcam hahahah
Plus the fact that it does all internal processing (no load on cpu etc) and has remote with zoom functions etc has made me REALLY look at purchasing that webcam for Zoom Tutoring

no they were aiming at religious status and that always brings fanatics
I disagree, whilst the word fan does derive from fanatic, I think it's possible to be fans of things without being fanatical about them. The word has evolved since then and taken on new meaning.
That said, I do appreciate that lots of people who call themselves fans are fanatical about the thing they're a fan of (sports teams is a good example).

As someone who became an avid LTT watcher because of the streams having Dan mic’d was 10/10 (I always wished had David mic’d when was there for the streams).
I think some bullet points are good but every now and then it did feel a little too scripted. I think the moments Linus is just hanging out building computers and telling stories as they pop to mind are what made me love the streams so much, I’d hate to see that get lost.
David has such a good radio voice too. I literally could listen to him talk about anything lol.
I built a computer in 2021... I was upgrading from a 7700k system which I'd only had since 2019. For my new rig I got a 5600x, 6700xt, 32Gb 3200 Corsair vengeance LPX, Corsair RM850x PSU, Samsung 980 Pro ssd, Gigabyte Aorus Master B550 motherboard, Corsair 4000D Airflow case. It's a pretty good PC but the Aorus master motherboard didn't come with front panel USB-c. A few of the components I upgraded later like the 6700xt which I got for $300 in November last year. I still have the box from an Asus motherboard I bought in like 2004... a P4B533! (533 Mhz FSB!)

I basically built the AMD version of this with the Asus Proart X570 Creator Wifi and 5800X. Same cooler, but opted for a Define 7. Note that Asus already discontinued the X570 Proart board after like 5 months of production tops. I would have verified that they plan on producing more of the Z690 version, maybe stockpile a few spares. Overall they are nice boards, just wish they had more PCIe x1 slots. I hate how these ATX sized boards only have 3 slots these days.
Ok, now I am really sad that I will have to go Intel then. I was dead set on the X570 Creator cause I have a dead set use for all that I/O (even the 2.5gb ethernet despite not having a NAS)
@@OfficialDJSoru Another option is to go Zen 4 as Asus is selling a X670E version of the board. Same I/O, just that they can't advertise Thunderbolt as it is not certified. The USB4 ports are powered by a Maple Ridge controller.
@@NJRoadfan No dice then. When I do a full upgrade, I keep the same CPU and Mobo at the very least for 8 years. I know how costly it can be, but it is worth it in the long run since I do not wanna deal with the future issue of having to add PCIe cards to do the functionality I need.
I know this sounds picky but I need guarantee of Thunderbolt even if it is the older 3 protocol cause of future investment in hubs that support TB. (basically I work with a lot of external hard drives and peripherals, so 8 USB ports already feels like I am cutting it close)
@@OfficialDJSoru Best shot is a 3rd party seller then. My board is still nib, but I really don't want to sell the cpu and ram and go zen 4 or intel due to the added expense.
@@OfficialDJSoru as of right now newegg has stock of the x570 proart board, catch it while you can.

The G.Skill memory part is a really good point. The Corsair Vengeance LPX is a prime example. They had several revisions of the same 3200MHz model and they kept flipping between samsung and Hynix modules which made it difficult for a lot of people to get stable ram with it.

30:00 😂 I was rooting for LTT for that video, great job!
Oh yes. Firmware is always an issue. Running custom batch files at startup to skip things doesn’t work that well either.
Ive been telling my water cooling friends the same thing for EONS - air coolers JUST WORK - long as its clean and has a good fan on it you set and forget so to speak they run for literally YEARS with no issues unless a fan bearing goes out, but thats rare with a quality fan and even if it does happen theres protective cooling still left in the tower itself even with a dead fan, far less likely to cook or over heat a CPU.
I can relate, I too hate when I’m out of 1TB drives and have to settle with a 2TB 🤣
I am an IT guy and in my experience, standardizing things does not REALLY help. In our company we have two main types of enterprise-grade Laptops. One batch can be fine, the next can give you only headaches for some unexplicable reason. Sure, some devices are lemons out of the box, but if you do your research and stay with the main brands, you should be fine.
Also, at least in our experience, building the PC yourself hardly offers enough savings to be worth the time that could be spent elsewhere. We tried it and still do it when we have time just for giggles and to keep our skills sharp. But almost all our Computers are off-the-shelf. However, almost all of our machines are used to run Office and RDS and that's it. Nowhere near the requirements that LTT would have.
I'm always sus of people like Dan, somehow he's quickly become one of my favorite people at LMG and I'm getting hidden evil villain vibes like with Anthony my other favorite mwahaha.

Man I see LTT for at least 5 or 6 years. I'm an it consultant and part time music producer, I was starting to have some minor issues with my projects (bigger loads on an 8 years i7 4790k, project's audio cracking and so on ) so I started reminiscing on a new machine. I went for something very very similar to this and the only compromise was to use ddr4 ram and a different less expensive mboard. I have to say I know the processor is 5 or 6 gen away from the other but still... What an amazing performance boost on this build. I reused some stuff (video card, pro audio card, WI fi card) and and was able to build this under 900! The thing eats anything I send it! Super creative freedom, not having hiccups and being able to take care of every production stage on the same project!!!
I waited for a year to see what happened with the new tech, check if stuff was stable, and made the move!!!
Great recomendation on the i5. It's important to say the i5 has lots of flavors, I opted to stay away from i5 12600 as it doesn't has the e cores. And I never liked the kf versions as graphics might be necessary.
Só, Linus ... Thank for being there guiding us!
Hi Linus and crew. I have been watching your channel for quite some time now. I have always been interested in tech but watching your channel over the years has motivated me to try to make a career out of it. I got a job in IT and have never been happier with my job! I learned how to build computers by watching you do it I dont know how many hundreds of times now. I just finished putting my gaming rig together and am VERY proud of it even though it's not really high end. I have a Ryzen 5 5600X, Asus ROG Strix B550-f Wifi mobo, Phanteks Revolt Pro 850W PSU, 32 GB XPG D60 3200 MHZ RAM, and a EVGA RTX 3060 ti, in a Lian Li O11 Dynamic case. I really wanted to put a RTX 3080 ti in there but it was NOT in my budget unfortunately. I love that I could build my PC myself and that is thanks to you. Keep it up Linus and crew. You do a lot more good than you know.

Be nice to get a list of the hardware here unless I am missing something.
17:20 Nice way to enforce the 1 TB standard is to format that 2 TB drive with only 1 TB partition and leave the rest unused. This would be good for the drive internal wear leveling algorithm, too, as a bonus.
plus you also have an extra bit of space if you need it later
I don't think their problem is having 1 tb or not, but that they want to be using the exact same drives in all systems. They said they only need it as a bootdrive and that any actual work is supposed to be stored on the servers, so you already have that extra space.
@@desertkil Yes, and if you only partition the first 1 TB of the 2 TB device, you can later clone the first 1 TB of that device to 1 TB hardware to downgrade to official standard format without losing any data or having to reformat the storage.

With ZFS, They don't have to be matching. You can use larger drives as replacements, they just won't be fully utilized until the entire VDEV has been upgraded to at least that size. I actually set my pools up so that each drive is a little bigger than the last so each time I replace the smallest drive, it boosts the size of the pool by a bit. That way I don't have to buy all the drives in batches. It's a bit wasteful of space, but it is a frugal option for upgrade paths, and I only upgrade one drive when the pool gets to a certain percentage full.
Cool, the e6530 plays Halo 2 Cartographer in 1080p default settings perfectly. However it does struggle in some map areas and I tried CSAA 8x and it got pinned to the 30&40s, so I turned off the anti-aliasing and it jumped back to 60fps+Vsync. That is comfotably more than my Tecra A11 can say, it merely handles 720p with plenty of 30fps dips without Vsync and cinematic spots do chug horrendously.

GPU loading basically halves with it off. You don't often hear of a GT610 as a revelation, LOL. The NVS5200M with GF117 should have about twice as much _grunt_ as that, really not a bad little GPU for the time.
Funny how I'm well familiar with all of these machines, we've had plenty of iGPU-only E6520s, A11s (along with S10s - the battery charging algorithm ought to have been grounds for a class action lawsuit, it's that bad, it'll literally continue until emergency temperature cutoff kicks in) and even the odd E6530 at work. I still have E6330 and E6520 at home. Nice machines although screen calibration was _direly_ needed. Laptop screens used to be so bad, I'm glad that IPS panels are pretty much standard now.
Interestingly, with dual channel RAM the performance between HD Graphics 3000 and NVS4200M on the E6520 seems to be almost identical in Furmark P720, even power consumption is. So I settled on the iGPU only, not the least because you can tackle PWM flickering then (which would annoy the living daylight out of me otherwise).
@@PileOfEmptyTapes First off, I'm also using Windows 7 Aero Blue what a quink-dink. Second, I don't think a G210 is quite close enough of a gpu to use as a reference as DX10 and 10.1 are different API levels in the DX11.1 family. Three, that was a lot of information that I'm shockingly familiar with. I'm a total stranger who knows what you're talking about by chance.
The Irony of Linus having a "catch all" department!! :) Awsome work guys, keep it up :D
You should put 2TB of storage into workstations because Adobe products eat HDD space as disk cache
HDD bad
Those ProArt Creator boards are seriously the slickest and sexiest boards on the market. I used the B660 with a 12600KF to hopefully be my next 5 year build. I can always go 13th Gen i7/i9 if this starts to show issues, but I was still reasonably happy with my 4790k until I did this build around New Years.
This isn't related but your awesome Linus I truly go through your videos anytime I am comparing or about to buy I look for a review or comparison I love the honesty even when the thing is awesome I can't stress that enough so many of these reviews on YT are fake or paid for and not honest that bothers me a lot. Thanks for sharing
Love the comment he made on the guy who still uses an i7-7700K. I do too, been using the same CPU since 2017. It's never given me issues, it runs fine, and it does everything I need it to do. If you don't need to upgrade, do not feel pressured to upgrade.
I'm personally going to be purchasing a new laptop with some specs that are crazy compared to my desktop because I need a good laptop for photography and school, but my desktop is going to remain the same for as long as possible.
Old hardware isn't bad hardware, if it lasts you then hold onto it. No need to keep up with all the new releases. And shit, if you do need to upgrade, try finding a couple generation old part that's much cheaper than the new stuff and will still be a major upgrade to what you've got.
Even 1TB seems like a lot if you're storing *_nothing_* locally. 128GB is probably more than enough for an OS
@Taistelu_pelto they could use the 1TB drives for something else.
@Taistelu_pelto this is just for their regualr staff the staff that need a beast pc will get a higher end pc
You should put those people in those Harbor Freight Workbenches for 100 bucks. As soon as you get one together it starts to become extensible. Mine is becoming amazing. I mounted a 24 outlet power strip behind it. It has a roku, a radio, battery chargers, there is a monitor mounted to the wall next to it, there are 3 outlets built in, I've got a computer test bench setup on the bottom shelf waiting for broken junk, you just can't go wrong.
Holy shit that dude in the red shirt sitting at the computer in the beginning, Dan, has a SMOOTH AF VOICE. Lol Just saying.
Thanks b
I had a 1000W season focus that was dead on arrival just back in July. With that being said, ive been using seasonic for 15+ years and they have been rock solid.
I was really into this, and followed the rational in terms of part selection, right up until you decided to put a 3050 in the system. I would have at least gone 3060, and I like the original idea of using 3070s. But you obviously know what you guys need way more than I do haha. Are these for editing as well? You mentioned standardizing these computers, but does that include the editing workstations? Or are these for the writers and stuff mainly? Can you even use a 3050 for the kind of editing work you do? Or is editing not done on the local machines? I find it hard to understand the rational of using a 3050, especially when you go with a 12600k and a ballin ass motherboard. Sorry if this sounds ignorant, I'm not super familiar with what is required for video editing as I'm not a video editor, but I feel you would need something better than the 3050 at least.
I chalk it up to cost. The 3050s are still better than older generation GPUs for less money. I mean they can be found new for less than $250, and with the 4000 series around the corner, keeping costs low now and upgrading later seems the better route. Sinking 4070 money into 3070s when the 4060 will be better than the 3080 seems silly. 3050s are a good temporary budget option, and everything else is somewhat future-proofed.
It's more than enough for editing, as a fellow editor. I've worked on way less with much bigger companies lol
1:23:03 I actually had a very similar experience when I bought my GTX 1050 Ti in early 2017! The cheapest option on Amazon was from EVGA, and it was their SSC version, with a big 3-fan cooler that was longer than its PCB. IIRC it had the highest factory overclock of any 1050 Ti of the time, as well. Yet it was like $20 less than the next cheapest option from a reputable brand, which only had a single fan and no factory OC, lol. I lucked tf out too, because the crypto boom spiked GPU prices literally before the card arrived to me XD
this stream has shed some light to Linus Cat Tips
Headset - Just got the FNATIC. Can't say enough good things about it. Metal, detachable mic arm, great sound quality, metal headband, tons of padding on ear cups. Audio for games, YT, Music and Movies is just outstanding.
Linus is the tech worlds Rasputin

That overhead web camera is so much clearer than the main camera!
Is there a parts list available for this build? I didn't want to scroll through all the comments for the answer.
its literally on the boxes
I love the camera operator for this video
Use Notepad++, that has auto save option.
and tabs!
@@klaxoncow Sure, i bet he would, cause that makes total sense for him to require everyone to learn using Linux and learn how to use console and so on...till everyone ends up learning all the hundreds of "linux tricks". and games, as better as they are, compared to 15 years ago, it´s still far from substitute windows gaming, gl with new games, openworld or mmo games, simulators are a cancer. it´s good single player games though.
Absolutely LOVE the fact that you are doing classes of builds based on work type. I've been arguing with my IT department for years that Software Developers need a different spec than your average business user. I've also been lobbying for more access/less GPO policies to handcuff us... But baby steps
You should be careful recommending Unraid with parity. They use btrfs, and the btrfs documentation says their implementation of raid 5/6 "should not be used for production, only for evaluation and testing". I don't know how likely failure is or under what circumstances, but it's definitely a caveat that should be mentioned.
Edit: I was mistaken, Unraid uses XFS as the default filesystem on all devices (except cache devices; they use BTRFS)
Unraid doesn't use btrfs for the multi drive stuff. Each drive is an individual btrfs fs. You should not use unraid anyway though because unraid has a really bad caching strategy that can lead to massive dataloss as the cache is not redundant.
I don’t think btrfs is default or even recommended anymore. I feel like unraid said they only include it for compatibility
@@danieljonsson8095 So, if i'm understanding you correctly, each disk has it's own filesystem and Unraid implements another layer of logical volume management on top?
@@ianhamilton350 Correct. Specifically, XFS, Reiser or Btrfs is supported. This is because these are used to detect bit rot and such. Then the array itself runs similarly to unionfs, with parity done similar to snapraid. And that’s where you get serious issues. Like if I write a file. Now first, it’s written to the cache drive. And it just sits there. It’s a schedule to write from cache to array, so it can be hours before the cache is written to array which is itself ridiculous, but also because if cache now dies, so does your data. Now next step is that it writes the data to the array. Deleted it from the cache, and only now does it start calculating the parity, in another god damn schedule. All while all data that that was just now written to the drive, is lost if any drive in the array fails. It’s an absolutely terrible choice for data safety, and with modern array handling and drives, it’s also terrible for speed which used to be its strong selling point. Hence, it should no longer be recommended, at all, anywhere really.
Man I remember over a decade ago when Linus was literally a kid on a brand new channel. Now I’ve been watching again cause I’ve been building a new comp, and he’s like a shark tank company ceo that rips into his employees for using notepad… lol crazy development 😂
