I am an Electrical Engineer who enjoys tech. I got my masters degree in electrical engineering and now work as a hardware designer.
I will mostly be talking about stuff i do in my free time as well as products I buy, but if enough people are interested, I can make some vids on what the engineering world is like and what you should do in college, classes, etc.

I am so sorry this took forever. Between parts, graduating college, and moving, this was a terrible production and i think it shows in the video. Sorry about that, but hopefully my overall point is understood.

@@TrippTech Always <L> see you got a sense of Humor. i like that in content Creators
@@O5-XIV I do my best lol. I’ve gotten alot more comfortable in my videos so you’re seeing a more authentic version of me
@@TrippTech Got a PS2? if not i have a spare Phat one, with the HDD/Ethernet attachment
@@O5-XIV wish you said that sooner lol. Bought one about a month ago! And it came with the Ethernet adapter I’ll be doing a modding video on it
You actually can take off the other side panel, there are two screw's at the bottom of the case, just unscrew them and slide it off
Lttp; but i'm still using a 5930k paired with a rtx3070 and I can say it's still s beast. Locked 110fps in Hunt on Very high. I'm bottle necked in some specific area but the GPU still can be the bottle neck most of the times, which is crazy.

@@JorisWeerts1 fellow hunt player! God bless
Great vid Kid-o, And God i feel old now XD in 2006 i was in my 20's ¯\_(ヅ)_/¯ Ah the good ol'PSP, i got the one i still have on Launch day, which game i bought ummm forget THB. but i loved the thing. The analog stick is Borked on it now tho sadly, i will fix it one day. Tho to be fair i use my Vita <yes i still play it and take it with me when going somewhere i know i need something to kill time> Rather use it than the Crap Pay games on IOS or Android. As for the TV, i couldn't tell if that was a CRT or HDTV, but when the psp was new, most people still had a CRT TV, which wouldn't make it PS2 level of graphics, but probably hid most of the pixelyness <i know that's not a word >:p > and made it look abit more Smooth. <Also i love First person in a racing game, if i have a inside the car view, becuse.. ya know i drive my car from 5 feet behind it XD> "Found on Reddit" uh-huh ;)~ sure sure i have the Entirety of Netflix's Castlevania on my Vita, Love me some portable Weebtoons XD. <Hides Terabytes of Anime> DOA Paradise is basically a cut down DOA Beach Volleyball from the OG Xbox Man FF3 on the PSP was a great little game, if you use ppsspp and upscale and smooth it, it looks Fantastic TBH. And i would call it a Remastered Remake. Salma Hayek - Absolutely, Jessica Alba - Ehhhh Gotta disagree with ya their Chief <To each their own tho> And as to buying a PSP in 2024? nah, get a Vita if ya want the Same thing but Better, is my Opinion.
@@O5-XIV we shall get to the vita one of these days. A few more paychecks lol. But this was a very fun video to make. This thing is awesome. I would have Loved this in middle school. I just didn’t realize what I was missing out on lol. Thanks for watching! I knew you’d like it. Took like a month to make but it’s was worth it
@@TrippTech Was a good vid, and hey when you are a kid in school, ya have no Real money, is what it is. and man it take's time to do anykinda video, with editing retakes and the like, Real life and Work do tend to eat up time. so Take ya time, we'll be here when ya get it done. Never rush yourself yo
@@O5-XIV ❤️👌👍🌂
They come from the same factories as ASUS and MSI mainboards come from. So quality should be a non brainer. Anyways I found out that the X79 boards work (for me) better then the X99 ones. I "downgraded" to exactly this board and love it. Also it takes V2 CPU's which per default arent supported from X79 chipsets.
Neat vid, i have no idea if you got any good cards. Was always a Yu-gi-Oh player myself. still cool buy yo. P.S. the Spirited away girl is Chihiro >;p
I was trying to think of her name in the Disney dub. Could have sworn it was different

Question can you trade from 1 ez flash to another ez flash?
Currently thinking about buying a PSP from aliexpress Is it worth/good quality?
It's pretty decent, but be prepared for 3rd-party parts👍

@@AL_1903 At the end of the day, you'll still be able to enjoy playing psp games! There's no telling which part is third party. It totally depends on which seller you're buying from👍
Did you replace the 1394 and USB2.0 front connections? I'm hoping to mod mine into USBC and USB 3.0 respectively once the case gets here.
I did a mod for the USB port. Now I have the USB 3.0 in the front.
@@qianyu1982 what was involved in the replacement?
@@andrewparis5712 I redesign the PCB board of the USB port. make it with a 19pin USB 3.0 connector and 2 USB3.0 ports.
Thanks; this was a big help. I couldn't find my accessory pack until your unboxing showed me where it was.
Is an 8GB Rx 580 ok for that processor? Is it compatible and does it have no bottleneck?
Cool vid mu'dude, and hey. Life she do happen, and myself i got everything i need for a Mini itx build I'm going to do, save for the Case i want. Going to build a Mini ITX dreamcast Batocera system. Custom paint ect, Problem is where i live, finding a Dead Dreamcast <I Will not destroy a working retro console> that's not Ludicrously Priced XD
@@O5-XIV thanks for watching. You’re the best.
I built a sleeper in this exact case: CPU: Ryzen7 5800X RAM: 32gb (16x2) GPU: AMD 6750XT Motherboard: ASUS x570-PLUS Wi-Fi Case: Dell XPS 630i SSD: 2TB Cooling: DeepCool AK620 Power: PowerSpec 750W However, I just switched it to a newer case to prevent upside-down-GPU-sag lol. Going to install my homelab setup in there instead which doesn’t have a gpu.
Thanks for this video. After this and a few other videos I've found the following Dell Optiplex Mini Towers take standard ATX PSUs: 380 745 755 780 But I can't find one for the 760. It seems exactly the same but there is a tiny % chance they decided to use some custom motheroard pinout or something for the 24 pin connector. Again, very unlikely but I want to try it with my 760. I also have a 380 MT, 380 DT, and 745 MT to upgrade!
Additionally, thank you for covering the dual slot GPU issue.
Update: 760 takes standard ATX PSUs.
How long did it take to come?
Late to this post. It's 2024 here in Australia, and I just paid $300Aus for an as new T3i, sold here as a Canon 600d. Bloody good deal. Awesome for my needs and so light and compact for a decent camera.
Yeah thats not a real battery, they make after market ones that try to look like originals but they are pretty terrible
You can easily order a better one online
Yes halo 3 and odst are different
Cool vid as always. and Nice Game haul The VN games no comment, i never cared for those myself Lollipop Chainsaw - Was a decent game, tho i had it for the PS3. Also think they are Remakeing it as Repop or something like that The Studio Ghibli Mat, i would frame and hang up if i where to find the same thing, and a Absolute Steal for 1 Freedom Eagle XD Assassins Creed Rouge - Fairly good game, pass on it after one playthrough myself tho Dead Space - Ah love that game <sings Necromorph soup> Mass Effect 2 - Again Start with 1 >:p GoW - never seen the Triple pack, but i Loved Gears 1 GUN - i don't even recall if i played it, i own it tho, think it's Still sealed tbh Sonic - well its Sonic so... XD C&C - never played it so Crackdown - i played the first one, it was a fun game, could blow up alot of the Buildings and such, if i recall right... tho i might be thinking of Mercenaries 2 World in Flames

Gaming is something that I am interested in. My current rig has a X79SE Plus motherboard, Xeon E5 2660 V2 cpu, 16GB 1866Mhz DDR3 ram. All I'm lacking is the graphics card. Should I pair it with a GTX780 3GB Windforce, R9 380 4GB, or RX550 4GB? All three are within my budget range🤔
Maybe you can try to get a rx 570 8gb? Or try your luck with rx 560xt or 580 2048p 8gb from Ali.

1:35, you're forgetting the i7-5775C and i5-5765C. 3:47: lacks the clear distinction between if you're talking about, presumably servers? 1366 and 1156 did not bring "more cores" to any desktop CPU. You're muddling the timeline as well. LGA 2011 was introduced on servers well after 1366 while the logical flow of the slide is 775 /771 -> 2011/1155 -> 1366/1156. 5:24 "Top-end consumer chip" You mean top-end mainstream platform chip. HEDT was a consumer platform. 6:12: I'm not sure why you're drawing an arbitrary line with the 2600K/3930K. Nahelem is considered the first mainstream/HEDT bifurcation, with 1366 (Bloomfield) offering more total RAM and more RAM channels (3 channels vs 2 on Lynnfield) alongside *massively* more expensive CPUs and motherboard options. 6:33 "More densely-packed cores on a die." Um, no. If anything, the HEDT CPUs had *less* densely-packed cores due to the mainstream chips using the bleeding-edge manufacturing process. You could say "More cores under the heat spreader" or "more cores per socket", but it's objectively false to say HEDT ever had the most densely-packed cores. Part of the fundamental design limitations of HEDT was the necessitation of Mesh topology instead of ring topology... which saw the cores spread farther apart at the expense of latency (hence why they're worse for gaming, which is latency-sensitive.) You keep saying consumer... they're both consumer. The delineations are consumer and enterprise / mainstream and enthusiast (or mainstream and HEDT). The -E in Broadwell/Haswell/Skylake/etc-E *literally* stands for enthusiast. (Enthusiasts are consumers, btw.) 8:00: AMD competing with Core 2 Duo is certainly a retcon. AMD was blindsided by the Core architecture and my bleeding-edge AM2 system was made instantaneously obsolete. Phenom barely competed at all, only being somewhat competitive-ish when considering a 6-core Phenom II vs a quad core Intel. Once you realized the Intel could comfortably overclock by 20%+, it was obvious which to buy. 8:53: "While it [Bulldozer] had 6 cores at the top-end..." The FX series launched with a 4, 6, and 8 core CPU. FX-8120 was the 8-core. All launched on the same day, October 12, 2011. 10:38: Because Intel's numbering scheme reflected the year it was produced, not the underlying architecture. The same applies to AMD's current numbering scheme (hence why AMD laptop CPUs are always numbered higher than their Zen revision equivalent desktop parts.) You seem kind of obsessed about Intel hiding things behind a "paywall". That's, quite literally, all computer parts since their invention. More cache? Paywall. Faster frequency/more cores/more RAM channels? Paywall. (Also: more CUDA cores/More stream Processors/More dual-core AMD Bulldozer modules: paywall.) Yes, you spend more and you can get more. 12:25: "There's no reason the memory controller can't handle DDR4, no reason at all." Um, are you serious or sarcasm? DDR4 has a completely different pinout in the RAM sockets, more pins on the CPU were required for DDR4 vs DDR3, DDR3 has much tighter CAS and other latency timings that a DDR4 controller wouldn't be able to match as it's designed for ~50% higher frequency at the expense of looser timings. DDR3 and DDR4 operate at significantly different voltages. What a delusional comment. 13:38 "First gen Ryzen wasn't beating Intel"... if you're myopic enough to only focus on GaMiNg and nothing else. They were beating Intel on workstation performance, decompression, value per core, video editing (excepting QuickSync), and photo editing. 15:35 "DDR4 could go up to 32 or 64 GB"... per stick? DDR4 supports 128GB over 4 DIMMs. "For a gamer..." (HEDT was... repeat after me... NEVER INTENDED FOR GAMERS.) 18:20: your "conclusion" that HEDT was "manufactured" by Intel is ignorant to how HEDT buyers actually used their computers. The arrival of DDR4 made >4 core CPUs doable on mainstream platforms where DDR3 struggled. The extra PCIE lanes were a basic necessity for anyone who needed 3 or more add-in cards. The additional features were also important enough that they saw what? A decade of sales? 18:37 "Jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." is the complete proverb. It means the opposite of the point you're trying to make here. 21:18 "I'm not really sure about too much of anything." You said it. 25:00: That's SATA Express 25:15: It has far more PCIE connectivity than a mainstream platform and each PCIE card is allowed to draw up to 75 watts (Graphics, high-power) or 25 watts (standard high-power). The 24-pin connector only supplies 150 watts to the PCIE slots. You have how many x16 slots there? 4. Is 4x 75 more than 150? What about 2x 75 (two graphics cards) and 2x 25 (two high-power, non-graphics devices)? Is that more or less than 150? How about 4 graphics cards and all three x1 slots populated (max 25 watts in high-power mode)? Is that, again, more or less than 150 watts? 25:36: The chipset cooling has zero to do with overclocking. The chipset provides all of the connectivity that you mindlessly dismissed because it doesn't help with GaMiNg peformance. 26:00: M.2 E-key Wireless adapter. 27:18: F is the Fast Boot button. BIOS flasthback was automated by the use of a USB stick in the... 27:50: The white USB port for BIOS flashback. 28:20: Literally none of the connectivity requires the enthusiast platform. It's all run through the same DMI link as the mainstream platform. The *ONLY* connectivity that it provides is: quad-channel memory, up to 40 lanes of PCI-E 3.0, and a DMI 2.0 x4 link. *Everything* else is provided by the chipset, which could be accomplished by... any mainstream platform which ran the same DMI 2.0 x4 (and later DMI 3.0 x4) link and chipset. 28:40 "All stuff you can get on server-level boards." Yeah, at MANY *MANY* times the cost. Have you looked at pricing for the server parts when this came out? You acted the entire way through this as though there was a 'good, better, best' like small, medium, and large fries where 40 cents more gets you twice as many fries. There's a yearning chasm between mainstream and enterprise/server equipment. You seem to be conflating the depreciated price of Xeon parts vs old -E enthusiast parts with what they cost at the time. You could, quite literally, build an entire computer around HEDT for less than an octo-core Xeon at the time. "It's redundant." It wasn't at the time. 33:00 "Testing" an HEDT platform by doing what? Oh, right... GaMiNg, got it. HEDT wasn't and isn't "DUMB". Given the context of the time, before NVENC was a reasonable alternative (early implementations were poor), you needed either a capture card, a multi-core (>4) CPU, or both. Many SATA ports was beneficial to home servers and workstations (at a time when LSI HBA cards were extremely expensive and off-brand alternatives were(/are) largely garbage.) If you wanted >1Gb networking, you'd need a x8 slot for something like an Intel/Mellanox 10Gb. If you wanted the Quad SLI functionality that this boards was *LITERALLY SOLD FOR* (hence the spacing of the PCIe x16 slots and the incldued 2, 3, and 4-way bridge connectors), you'd need this platform. Blaming Intel for engineering a solution which necessitated a higher cost and selling it at a higher cost is just silly. Shortly after DDR4 proliferated, >4 core CPUs were common. If you think Intel releasing the 8700K was a "response" to the 1700 just a year prior, I simply can't help you understand that these products are planned *at minimum* 4 years in advance of availability. You simply don't understand the context of what it was used for. You don't understand that there was a huge gap to be filled and a major profit to be made by Intel. You don't understand the limitations of DDR3 (as demonstrated by your earlier comment about how Intel could magic DDR4 support into a DDR3 product). I'm as far way from an Intel apologist as you'll find. I made my first real income selling custom built Socket 939 AMD machines, later AM2, then Core. Intel cheated AMD by colluding with prebuilt manufacturers and offering kickbacks before Intel were sued and had to fork over $1.25 billion dollars to AMD (which largely financed Ryzen). HEDT was a product that made complete and total sense for more than a decade. It made sense to enthusiasts. It made sense to workstation users. It lives on in the form of TRX40/80, ThreadRipper, Threadripper Pro, and Intel's Xeon W. I hope you do a *lot* more research before your next video.
the only way less pcie is ok for gamers is if GPU has SRIOV! which gpu on consumer level does not! so PCIe lanes are bloody important for gamers!
Dude really just said Happy New Year on July 1st
I started production of this video in early January. That’s how long this took
@@TrippTechwhoa, thats taking way too long
@@senyumhawa yeah with my graduation, moving, starting my new job, and getting parts, the whole thing was delayed. thank fully this is the only video like that. Everything from here on out should be better
