Wonderful video as always, I am recommending your channel to as many people as I possibly can, simply because you are that good. A no bullshit channel that is super educational, informative and entertaining.

[dkbear]

I would like to honestly thank you for your channel and videos, I've always wanted to be part of the "PC Master Race" lol, but feared all the technical aspects of building one. Thanks to your videos I feel very confident in the different options for different price ranges. Again thank you so much!

[mervyoung]

I've always enjoyed watching your videos! Well done! I've got the 750D Airflow Series with the H110i Watercooler and Corsair HX1000i PSU. I managed to get my Core i7-3930K up to 4.8GHz stable on all 6 cores, and 5.0GHz stable on 4 cores. Such an awesome system. Overclocked my Gigabyte GTX1070 AORUS too :)
Keep up the awesome work!

[dnnyocnmn]

Awesome video, loving this mini series. And I specifically turned off Ad-block on YouTube so you can get the ad revenue :) Keep up the great work!

[EBJustin]

The video description is your best friend in all honesty ;)

[smokeydops]

Thank you for all of your informative, no-frills videos.. like this one!

[dcrickerson]

What a great series. I have really enjoyed watching all of your video's. You have a great channel!

[arsalhasan]

I live in Pakistan, so really your honesty about what one should buy in terms of performance to dollar ratio really comes handy for someone like me.

I am building my pc mostly inspired by this pc with a different storage as your cus you bought them for testing. Work in video so needed more storage.

Once everything comes to me near christmas i might do a special video just in honor of you sir!

Thank you so much.

UPDATE - Totally unrelated to this computer - Amazon just e-mailed me, my pre-order of Battlefield 1 is scheduled to arrive today. Assuming it does show up, you can all guess what video will be posted tomorrow morning. :)
What CPU/GPU do you all want to see it tested on first? What resolution?

[matthiasisgud]

WOW your growing too fast for me to keep up! im expecting an office tour soon!

[raffaelelagattolla]

I'd be careful. Overclocking that thing might actually open up a hole in the space time continuum. May even give the Hadron Collider a run for its money...

As always, great vids :)

[vivekpannu]

Nice and detailed like any other video

[pvlu]

Hello,

I really like your content and I'd like to make some suggestions.
1. Please do a comparison between an i3-6100 vs i5 2400! Like the 6500 vs 2400 you did!
2. Also give your opinion on Sleeved Cables, extensions and "full".
3. I would also like to see you reviewing some cases, power supplies and cpu coolers.

There were some other things I wanted to recommend you but I forgot what they were about!

[eric]

Sounds like you had the same results that I did with the I7-6800k @ 4.2GHz, 1.3V. I ended up going with the Kraken X61 cooler, and a MSI X99A SLI Plus as my motherboard. Completely agree that 1.4V is too much, I plan on holding on to this PC for at least 6 years.

[BREAKZRUZ]

TOP VID! Very helpful making decisions about my new, upcoming PC for my studio!

[ptsnu]

Nice video, love the honesty and perspective of your videos (for the common user).

I bought all the parts of my new pc following your picks (MOBO, cpu, gpu, ram, cooler, case similar (c70 corsair instead)). Tend to disagree about the PSU (cause I had a cx750 corsair that died in 2 days of use).

Gj, Thx and keep it up!

[Thunder]

First and foremost, I would like to thank you for all these great video clips that you make, which are very educational and, like me, there are probably very many out there who rejoice with them.
Good for the sake of the matter! My problem is that I'm going to build me a powerful video / photo editing station, but also for gaming and I've chosen these parts as you can see.

Corsair Obsidian 750D Airflow - Fulltower
Corsair HX1200i - 1200 Watt - 140 mm - 80 Plus Platinum
GIGABYTE X299 AORUS Gaming 7 Motherboard - Intel X299
Intel Core i9-7900X Skylake-X
NZXT Kraken X62 RGB v2
Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4, 32GB: 4 x 8GB, DIMM 288-pin, 3733 MHz / PC4-29800, CL17, 1.35V
HD 1: Samsung 960 Pro SSD M.2 2280 - 512GB
HD 2: WD Blue 3D NAND SSD 2.5 "- 1TB
HD 3: Crucial® BX100 250GB 2.5 (For download only)

Does not that look great? well i can not decide whether to buy the Intel Core i9-7900X Skylake-X or AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X processor.

What did you choose in my situation because I do not manage and decide, but it's not because I can not PC because I've been using PC since Intel 286 and before Windows 3.10 came out.
The problem is that they are amazing processor both but also have their weaknesses.

Sincerely, from Norway

[Hahejo]

Please make a video about the 1050 Ti. So far all the videos are rumors and benchmarks. I want real opinion and comparison and you are the only one I trust for this kind of info. Thank you very much.

[Techielife]

At last i found a video for a stable i7 6800K OC. Thanks

[khanhnguyen-mdnt]

I learned a lot from your videos. It's very detailed :)
thanks a lot :)
