The Windows Game Bar is also good if you need an FPS meter.

unfortunately fractal is almost the only game in town for windowless cases now

the torrent looks good but the huge version is maybe too huge for my setup and the compact is apparently a pain because they shrunk the cable management space too much

One of my big holiday to-dos is to buy a bunch of fancy sleeved CableMod PSU cables and completely redo the cable management in my Torrent Compact because the knowledge of that side glass panel bowing, even it’s slight and I can’t even see it, is killing me.

Some bullet points I ripped off from somewhere else:

- Still going to be in the company as Chief Vision Officer. Doing the same stuff but with less CEO/management overhead.
- Still owns the company.
- Has turned down an offer recently to buy LTT for 100 million.
- What does change: reporting. No-one will report into him anymore.
- New CEO is Terren Tong, formerly Linus' boss at their old company, NCIX (Linus says the only person who could manage him).
- Has worked as a contractor for the last 6 months to make sure he was a team fit.
- Linus considers him a friend, mentor, and someone he can learn from, which he felt was something missing.

I'm so far removed from this stuff these days, but my nephew is trying to learn more about building computers. Any good recommendations other than Gamers Nexus and stay away from LTT?

Gear Seekers is a really good and chill channel with a focus on PC builds.

Excellent generation. I bought an i7-920 for Christmas 2008 and it was rock solid for several years until I started tinkering around with cheap Xeons from eBay and discovered I could get an X5660 to 4.6GHz if I put a huge Noctua cooler on it. I used that all the way up until 2018 when I replaced it with a Ryzen 3700X, and my younger cousin is still using it today. It's starting to run into a wall with new games because it lacks AVX support, sadly.

This reminds me that I only started using aftermarket coolers in 2020, yes, nearly 11 years after I'd started building computers for myself. That 950, (and the 2500k I eventually upgraded to) miserably hamstrung by this dinky little thing:



The only time I feel its use was justified was when I tried SFF in this case around 2015, but somewhat less justified is me continuing to use stock coolers even when I switched to AMD (though the Wraith Prism included with my 2700x was actually fairly solid compared to Intel's crap). First non-stock cooler was the Fuma 2, and my eyes were finally opened.

I really didn't understand fundamental things about PCs until just a few years ago lol

My Steam account is as old as my friend gifting me a "Blue Box" code (basically the Orange Box sans HL2 and Episode 1) that I couldn't really use because my PC at the time was an all-in-one Compaq from 2005 with integrated graphics
