  • 4:53 "It was yesterday, everything's a blur." I have never related with a statement as much in my entire life. Thank you Colin.
  • @VoldoronGaming
    It looks like a VCR with a supercharger protruding through the hood lol.
  • 9:01 This sort of synthetic test would never really happen unless you run, like, long blender renders Me on my 16th hour of rendering: 🤔
  • @Excalibaard
    "less dust being sucked into your case" says Linus while standing next to the Great Mariana Trench of gaps in a case
  • @AhmedAlwazir
    In this case, the heat sink is out of the CASE.
  • @Graphics_Card
    I love how the pc just turns on, but then the wind just blows in a completely different direction.
  • @guffels
    After trying a passive system, I found that having fans consistently at low speed was much better than having the fans spin up, even to a low speed, when the heat gets too much to dissipate.
  • @BLBlackDragon
    I contracted with a foundry for a few months, back in my youth. The sampling lab PC was eating cooling fans due to metal particles. Fanless operation absolutely has it's benefits.
  • @dumpsterdawg
    Linus: "Don't show that David...Get my good side" Shuts off camera
  • I was doing some 3D modeling work and had not saved for a while, then this sound (1:40) nearly gave me a heart attack
  • @4x4forlyfe
    LTT: literally owns a 4 axis CNC machine, but they chose to cut with a Dremel. Facepalm.
  • @airplanenut6242
    My heat transfer professor always said the general guideline was 5mm spacing for passive fins… cool to see that in action!
  • @carth85
    "There's an A hole if I've ever seen one.". Hands down the best Linus joke of all time.
  • LTT: Has an entire machine shop Linus: Yeah I'm gonna use a Dremel for this
  • @SyntheticFuture
    Also from a practical point of view: why not place the PC outside the workspace. That's what I did for a plasma cutter at the company I worked as an intern. PC in the office, run cables for monitor / keyboard and mouse. These days that's even easier to do and keeps the PC well out of harms way.
  • @Xfade81
    Someone make a meme with casual pursepc Linus. Also: "it was yesterday, everything's a blur" is tombstone material.
  • @andyu4087
    Just realize, If Linus is born in the 50s, he would probably do hot rod cars.
  • @justintiger9
    It seems like production values of the videos are on the rise. Keep up the good work guys!
  • @RayneShunner
    Everyone: damn that thing would go HOT Linus : touches it every chance he gets Everyone: 🤔
