What I've Learned Building High End Systems In 2024

We built a ton of high end systems last year, and with Xeon and Threadripper both being very good options, we thought we'd get a video together about how to go about a high end PC build!

Thanks so much for the kind words Wendell!

No, opera is in fact gone. It's now an unholy hybrid of google and tencent.

[SuperMari]

So good when Wendell geeks out on storage or server parts in general

[tulsatrash]

Its so weird seeing Wendel run ads for opera.

[ConorHanley]

I need a dual Epyc system to watch YouTube videos and convert my CDs to flac.

[amateurwizard]

I love that clip outside Microcenter ❤

2025: I want to see more power savings, particularly at idle please. #Nomore180widle!

Please Wendell, don't take money from Opera. They're just a rebrand of Chrome and we need more Firefox offshoots if anything

I learned that ARTIC P12 Max fans are very good at cooling.

The image of Lisa Su breaking down the door to Intel HQ ala The Shining will now live in my head rent free. Thank you. Threadripper? Nah, Door Ripper.

I appreciate that you used machine learning vs the common name. You talk about keeping quiet & cool, I can remember when we were using TTL. There was a Mohawk tape drive sounded like a DC10.

When I bought my first car my dad said to me "Daz, you'll always be skint now".
When my son bought his first PC, "son, you'll always be skint now".
Nothing really changed. High-end just makes it worse.

"Do you want to block literally everything?"... Yes. Yes I do. 😕

The thoughts in this video went by so fast, Wendel went plaid.

The thing that keeps me using Firefox is every Chromium based browser sucks with font sizing. Firefox font sizing changes icon sizes and the text of everything from tab headers to general text with allowed defined size variations. Firefox also scales the entire web page to fit without having to scroll from left to right. Chromium doesn't scale the size of everything missing important elements entirely and when font size is inceased you have to scroll from left to right. For basic accessibility any Chromium browser sucks. On Firefox I can open a new tab or close one simply by pressing the mouse wheel. Any Chromium browser allows me to close a tab by doing that, but not open one.

25 Gig is pedestrian.. Nods.. me who is rocking 2.5 Gig ethernet

I love my black mesh Fractal North XL. Best case I have ever had. So much room and airflow 😍

BTW, the timestamps are a little off. I think the sponsor spot is the delta 😁

[NazNaxs]

Ok those dual redundant power supplies you can swap out is really cool!

[Otuhh]

The E3.s pcie card is nice and would be a nice way to add enterprise class storage to consumer builds. also only thick 120mm fans

PCI-E 7.0 is rumoured to be out in later 2025, So..
