    Little mistake I caught after post, at 4:55 I am sorta repeating myself about the Windows install. My bad, human error... And that's why I'll be replaced by AI 🙂

      More and more content will be created by AI, at which point I will make sure to have some AI watch the content for me as I know I am not going to spend time watching that. I think it's fair.

      It's funny you mentioning the background music. I have a friend that purposely would play that (not actually running a benchmark) as a joke when I would go over his house to mess with me. Very low volume, He's one of my parts guys too 😂

      But, I love computers since I was a kid* (first programming school back in ~1984), and I just enjoy videos about new (or old) hardware. I just wish they would stop with inserting AI everywhere. I am talking about names/titles. It reminds me 25 years or so ago with "all" products having "Live!" or "XTREME".
      Pricing as I said it doesn't directly affect me, but I hope there are some good and fair budget solutions.

      Oh absolutely, it's got like stutters that happen in the same place, weird hang ups. I mostly use it as a final kind of: walk away and let it run for hours (kind of thing) valley is a little smoother if you haven't tried that one.
      Also yeah that interview was fun. It's funny cause Jay is bigger too, but it does show how humble he can actually be. I do like that about him, even though I cringe at some stuff haha.

    My 8086k crapped out on me, so I bought a 12600k, along with a MSI Ege WiFi mobo from Amazon for 265.
    Paired it with my 3090 TI and G Skill Trident Royal 4000 Mt/s ram, that I already had in my Cooler Master Cosmos C700m case.
    Im happy with it. The 12600k rips.

      Yep, the 12600k is a great CPU. Honestly I don't think you need anything more for gaming at this point in time. I got mine for $150 on Amazon. Paired it with an MSI Z790 and it's a great combo.

    Damn, $1,100 is a steal for that PC. I built a 12600k/RTX 4070/32GB/2TB/850watt PC in a King 95 Pro case and it cost me $1,500. I did pay a bit of a premium for an all white build, but that PC crushes mine for $400 cheaper. Nice!!

      That's still a solid rig you got there. Yeah, it was definitely a really decent deal. Also yeah white parts are funny like that, I wish the industry would have a universal paint code for white, my Inwin Tou build has so much mixtures of white 😅

    • @techwandoUS
      @techwandoUS  День назад +1

      Yeah it's mostly a supply and demand thing. White PC cases/ white builds in general didn't't gain popularity until around 2015. I remember because I looked around for an all white case and only found a 760T from Corsair which has a black interior in 2013
      Now it's more popular of course, but they always add a $5 price bump on things like cases, or accessories.
      What's weird is, on marketplaces my white builds sell better, but when people come to me for all new builds they almost always go with black. It's like 1 out of 5 pick a white case, and maybe one out of 20 try to get all white matching parts.

    • @techwandoUS
      @techwandoUS  2 дня назад

      Thank you, yeah many times the registry bypass checks (which I use to do often) aren't even needed. I have a bunch of different USB sticks with windows 11, some of the newer media creation tools have changed stuff.
      Right now on the latest tool I have, all I need to do with a non WiFi board is 00BE\BypassNRO.
      On one with WiFi, if I don't disable WiFi it will see the WiFi pop up and won't show the "I have no Internet button".
      I found disabling WiFi to be faster than the registry bypass 3 part thing.
