“Let us know if you want to see more TurboNerd videos”
Dear god yes
this
Yup,the videos are great but I think they are better suited for Techquickie
@@snipercat1158 True, more informative less entertainment for the GENERAL audience.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NEED MORE LIKES FOR THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hell yeah more!!!!! more!!!!
This is the youtube version of "Mods are asleep, post actual tech stuff" and I love it.
this! this comment A TRILLION TIMES
I was thinking the exact same thing. Haha
I really hope they make stuff like this more often.
"Mods are asleep! Post (heat)sinks!!"
This is 100x better than the normal linus stuff
THIS, THIS SO VERY MUCH. YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!
Most employees when the boss is out: "Let's screw around and do as little as possible."
LTT employees, apparently: "Let's bust our asses to make valuable, informative content, teehee."
Exactly! Must be a cool place to work!
These are also the guys who are always wincing at Linus' sloppy methods. So I knew this one was going to get really into details :D
Dennis: live laugh Liao
Linus: *drops hardware more aggressively*
the first one is praxis
Seeing Anthony nerd out and go down a rabbit hole explaining how something works is always a gift. He always makes it informative yet accessible to people who don't live and breathe computers like him.
Turbo nerd edition has all chances to become my favorite series
I agree!🤪
Next episode they should 3d print a FGC-9, in fact, they could make a factory
@@RandyRandersonthefamous I think it could be better if they continue the route of PC Components, but, who knows🤪
Perfect balance between in-depth and general knowledge. Plus super helpful by showing mismatch between market expectations and sensible design decisions. Like tiny mobile cams with endless megapixels. Thanks!
@@maximilianheinrich2537 I agree with this very beautiful words.
“Linus is on vacation” oh boy this is going to be good.
hello
lol
Not for Yvonne who has to take those 2 inches.
I remember what happened last time Linus was on vacation 😏
hey i know you
As an electronics engineer, I'm really impressed with the deep cut.
The cutout and presented result was definitely on-point, but understanding the mechanics of the simple circuit does require some prior basic knowledge about EE, such as charging/discharging Inductors (AC current when discharging right?), diodes/resistors, and dangers of shorting the circuit.
@@knightblad5631 I also thought that was the weakest part of the video. It explains it on a very basic level, so basic that it doesn't really explain anything.
Like why is the switch with the diode in parallel necessary? Why does it fry the cpu if both switches are open? Also the flow of "electrons" doesn't make sense to me.
@@Crallux Wouldn't approach EE stuff thinking about electron flow. Think in terms of volts, amps and ohms. Much easier and more useful to do it that way.
@@alexanderkuhn2298 You can think about them as Liquid Pipes as well very good way to understand how Ampers and Volts and Owhms(resistence) works
@@mateuszkot6456 Im an electrical engineer but thank you.
Any video with Anthony in the thumbnail is a video I will most definitely be watching
This is like a middle school team presentation, Anthony you take the CPU and go first, James, you explain the RAM after Anthony, and Alex goes last with PCI, we put it all together, and voila.
Middle school ? I've been doing that all throughout engineering school
Yea but you'd be surprised at the number of people that don't know what CPU stands for let alone what in the world Ohm's Law is.
Middle school team presentations are preparing you for life (or trying to).
@@Drewsterman777 My I.C.T. teacher in school taught the class that the CPU is the big box with the power button on it. I and my fellow nerds were like, "Uh... Sir... the CPU is inside there but the whole thing isn't the-" Teacher: "Yes, yes, I know, but we're not getting that advanced." Absolutely livid.
@@Drewsterman777 i take your Ohm's law and raise you watts law =P
We definitely need this to become a frequent series
Deep dives into components would be sweet.
Yes.
^this^
MOre turbo nerd series would be good. Targetting one or two points in more depth.
Nah, Linus already does enough below average series, another one like this would hurt his channel.
This actually really good content, less joke, more information, less linus-y. Please do more
craking a joke is a good way to keep the people's attention, go to tech jezus if u want detaild info and no joke's
@@haikodekoster5129 there other content is 99% joke 1% info. There's such thing as too much jokes
@@night.watcher they can do whatever with how they present their contents
@@haikodekoster5129 Tech Jesus' jokes are usually fire unlike Linus' lol
I like it. it has the Linus type presentation with the info.
I know how motherboards work, but I will watch anything presented by Anthony. He’s just so soothing, personable and knowledgeable. Fantastic video.
"Linus was on vacation and we went full nerd." i mean, give to him more vacation, i love this kind of thing
IKR?!
Well, Linus IS the boss, so technically, he can go on vacation as much as he wants...
@@Entity_1011 then we can have more of this
let's just fire Linus from ltt
Make Linus Vacation Again. That’s a good vacation slogan 😂
I'd love to see a whole "turbo nerd" series about motherboards, and other electronics in-depth. I totally get that these aren't the super flashy videos that will go trending on TH-cam, because of how niche some of the stuff is, but many of us in the core audience really appreciate this.
Absolutely why i was first introduced to this channel years ago.
Storage would be a cool one
PREACH! sooo hyped for some more turbo nerd content!
Guys, we need more of these series! Finally I can understand the technical details behind questions I didnt know the answer! Thanks LTT!
“Linus is on vacation” and we need more Turbo Nerd from Linus Jr, I mean Anthony.
@@zanewaits8026 I came to the replies of this comment looking for this exact response.
"Let us know if you want more turbo nerd videos"
My guys, I want even deeper dives!
Me 2
At some point Linus said he wanted to get LMG to a point where he can leave without worrying about the company. This vacation was proof he achieved that goal. Such good content!
Better without linus imho.
It's not his 1st vacation actually. He took a free week during summer as well. He honestly could just become a CEO and not appear in front of the camera ever again, but this dude just likes doing it, so I don't see that happening anytime soon.
@@Crad-YT CEO?? WHAT?
@@asifalamgir5135 CEO, Chief Executive Officer
Linus is a CEO of LMG
@@Crad-YT ceo and founder to be exact. Im guessing Yvone is related to the finance of the company
Love this kind of video, I've always wanted to learn more about how PC's actually work, and this puts it in such an accessible format, would love to see more turbo-nerd content in the future!
“Let us know if you want to see more TurboNerd videos”
Dear god yes!!!
yes, but more Anthony and Madison, and a whole lot more Riley. And a pinch of Dennis to make it just right.
Yeah this was very well done
Agreed
Please more of this, amazing content
Need so much more of this series! I want TurboNerds for everything!
I would watch every single episode of this in a series
daisy chain those episodes
Same
Same
i fell asleep watching this and just woke up like "Omg I can't wait to see the other ones" lol sadly not yet :(
You know what we need?
LTTSchool
I've been watching since 2013ish, and it seemed to move into a news source rather than tech tips. This is a refreshing sight to see, and I hope we get more. Thank you. For all you guys do.
If turbonerd becomes a 30+ episode series with a playlist on your channel, i will be the happiest little LTT fan
ltt regular: oversimplifications
ltt turbo nerd: the actual information
It is still a bit oversimplified imho, but at least it's indeed a lot more in depth 😁
this video was great. please do more.
Really enjoyable video guys, truly informative!! Would love to see more of these
Yes to more Turbo Nerd videos -- this video is probably one of the best things I've seen in LTT in years.
More Turbo Nerd Editions please. Also let Anthony do them. His voice explaining stuff is just the best.
100% agree
I also want more of this, but I actually liked the format where they switched between presenters
I felt catfished by Anthony being the thumbnail, while only being in 33% of the video.
All of em
Tey're starting to slap a picture of his face on anything as clickbait, lol
Content when Linus is there: "Let's make a solid gold Xbox Controller"
Content when Alex, James and Anthony run the show: "PC gamers are suckers, here's how your board actually works"
Don't get me wrong, I love both types of content, so keep the turbo nerd videos coming, this one was great.
Honestly, one of your better episodes. I LOVE the easy explanations. (it's exhausting trying to explain electronics to people) Thanks.
Loved this video. Please make more like this. It would be great to go through all the tech on the motherboard from USB to SLI to Audio and beyond. Not to mention expanding into video cards and other peripherals too.
IF LTT starts doing very in-depth videos like this, I'll watch more of them
Never going to happen, ltt is like the gateway drug to get you started but the truly indepth things are on other channels that are as a rule of thumb always gets lower views and less subs.
@@rdkonevrd9898 It'd be sweet if a channel with enough clout could change that. Nice pipe dream, but the Internet cares about the weirdest priorities, so who knows?
@@rdkonevrd9898 probably they'll make another channel for this format... There are too many 😅
👍
This isnt even a little in-depth.
Finally an actual “Tech Tip”...
Minus a Linus to get them tech tips
Wanna see my tip?
@@iyzyz send it
@@Clarkem1 I'm a little shy..
@@iyzyz wasnt a question
Please do more of these Turbo Nerd videos. I really enjoyed this - I'll have to re-watch and read up on some stuff to understand some things in more detail, but this is awesome.
I think this is actually the motherboard *basics* that every nerd should know. For turbo nerd edition, I'd expect more advanced stuff. Very good video, though!
"Turbo Nerd Edition"
Now you're speaking my language.
It would be great to have more "Turbo Nerd" videos.
Idk why but i love it when Anthony explains stuff
Such an insanely complex piece of technology when you really think about it, its incredible. 300,000 time PER SECOND. Just wrap your head around how fast these things happen on such a tiny scale. Fascinating, this is one of the areas that my love of Computers in general is built on, just the sheer amount of Engineering these things have. All happening without the user having any idea just how much is really happening, and then you get into how memory works which is even more mind blowing. It's all just so cool to me.
Yes! More Turbo video! Also video that explain Hz rte of Motherboard and RAM Hz rate and explain detailed information on that information since no one I know of has done it online yet.
PLEASE MAKE THIS A REGULAR SERIES! I love how in depth and detailed these are!
This is basically the original “As Fast As Possible.”This is the kind of content I miss.
But this one is about 12 min, afap is about 5
@@offbeattrance How about... as reasonably lengthened as possible lmao
@@lolagepwned But then not all the info will be portrayed...
This is helpful watching as I prepare for my A+ recert.
I really like this video, I like that all of you took turns explaining a specific subtopic.
Awesome video, even if I already knew most of this the breakdown was in-depth and very easy to understand. 11/10 👍
Linus should go on vacation more often. This was seriously good content. Never heard such a good explanation of these things before. More please. Linus can come back, but more of this.
Let Linus drop stuff while these guys take care of the knowledge.
I can see the picture
Linus: "ok let's sell some stuff"
Guys: "but Linus we want to make informative tech tips videos"
Linus: "guys, we - are - going - to - sell - stuff, while we making it look like we're talking about actual tech tips, mkay?
Guys: okay_guy.jpg
Yes please. This was the good stuff.
I can’t wait for Thor 4
You guys are overly impressed by very simple things.
I really liked that there was like 3 hosts on this, I dont know if was hell on filming but it really set a nice pace and each segment inside this major subject , and it made them feel distinct.
Great video - appreciated the technical info in a succinct format.
Thank you very much.
It's been a quarter century since I built my last PC, and a lot of details have changed dramatically.
I'm going to build my next PC soon-ish.
Videos like this help establish basic understanding.
It was cool having multiple people doing different segments of the video!
Yea, makes it less boring. I mean this in a good way.
Absolutely refreshing!
When the boss man is on vacation, this whole video feels like a class group presentation about motherboards.
Haha I came to the comments to see if anyone else got this vibe
Hahaha hahaha lmaooo so trueee, they guys need to relax and joke a bit more tho. Being thy nerds we all love, but relaxed nerds. We fam, so chill boys.
b
yes but I want more
Definitely do more Turbonerds! I liked having the whole crew rotating through the segments.
this is like a school project where each of the three presenters did a different part of the motherboard.
if linux wasn't on vacation i would expect him to be the kid who didn't do any of the work and is just reading words on the teleprompter...hey-yo
And they did it really well!
You meant Linus, not Linux...
@@matekovacs2696 why
“Turbo Nerd Edition” or whatever y’all end up deciding to call it is awesome. Very cool and informative. I feel like this content is the stuff computer owners or looking to be owners need nowadays
not really lol, all I learned is that motherboard manufacturers suck.
@@AlkaVirus I actually learned why you put the ram the way you do. Didn't know that. Also I knew that for overclocking ram, only 2 sticks was better, but didn't know why until now.
Yesss! Please make more turbo nerd content this video was absolutely fascinating.
@@AlkaVirus Just like they always did
I ABSOLUTELY need a WHOLE TURBO NERD EDITION SERIES RIGHT NOW PLEASE !!
We need more videos of these super in-depth topics, it’s like a nerdier ShortCircuit... or more like LongCircuit I guess
I am absolutely loving this "linus is on vacation" series.
bruh lmao
These Turbo Nerd videos are just what I want, pls make more!
Ditto. More please. felt *slightly* less polished than a typical LTT video, but more informative on a less layperson level.
I like how LTT has expanded to these other host. Linus is great and I love his sass and style. But when Anthony is on its like a whole new channel and he has his own likable, and charming character. I have really been enjoying it!
Agreed, its a totally different experience
FanTASTIC! Thank you. I can see it clearer now.
To be honest, this "Turbo Nerd" is my favorite now, please keep doing it.
I will personally recruit 10 more subscribers & buy a piece of merchandise if they make this a series.
Great idea
MOAR ANTHONY
Agreed!
Alright but it's gotta be a large cpu pillow.
@@jeremywillis4124 Oh hell yeah. I genuinely think the design looks great so that's a win
I was expecting video for years!!! Thank you
Definitely more Turbo Nerd videos. Drilling down deep into the geek topics, and explaining them this well - this is a valuable service to the community.
10:31 Yes Alex I would love more "Turbo Nerd Edition" videos
All I had to see was the whiteboard at 0:50 to realise that NOW WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE and this is diamond content.
and andy speaking :D
I don’t “like” videos often. But this one deserves it. Great video! Hope to see more like this going forward.
I love this stuff, not just Anthony delivering more awesome content but these in depth, educational videos.
LOVE it.
Keep up the great work Anthony!
Now I'm waiting for the Ultra Nerd Edition. This was just a scratch!
Builzoid's channel is there for that... "Actually Hardcore Overclocking"
@@JocPro Wasn't talking about OCing here but the whole architecture of the MB... This video was sth that almost anyone could do by just couple of hours of googling...
@@papagrounds Take a computer architecture course
@@andrewbell9929 Computer architecture courses will not talk much about electrical design and such which is the mainstay of the design effort that goes into motherboards. It takes a wide range of knowledge areas.
@@andrewbell9929 I'm already an ICT Engineer, so no thanks 🤣 Just want to see how well LTT knows their shit.
Linus is lucky to have a team like this. True tech-savies and hard-core.
We're even more lucky to have Linus start a team like this, honestly props to them because I wouldn't have found out about my passion in tevhnology and pc building without them.
They are reading off the script - ?
@@adamk7743 a script they researched and wrote. I don't understand why tf some people hate on content creators like LTT. What exactly do you expect them to be doing?
@@adamk7743 yes, and? Do you expect them to go off and remember 20 minutes worth of content, while recording multiple tech videos are made?
@@jacintofernandes2907
They don’t seem that confident in this video(which is highly technical) as compared to other videos. That was my observation.
A lot of work is required for a video like this. It’s just that I feel they were not doing the research, someone else did
This was such a great video. The fact that you put all of this into 11 minutes is insane.
Great video explaining the basics for the users aspiring to become more knowledgeable. I'd love more educational videos like that. Huge respect for all your work guys!!!
"To the best of our ability"
Son, whenever Anthony is in the thumbnail we know we're in for a treat.
For real. Anthony is a badass. My favorite at LMG 👍
i am a simple man, i see Anthony on the thumbnail i click the vid.
"Linus is on vacation, and we're not holding back"
And ofc the next frame after the ad is Anthony with a whiteboard
I LOVE IT
Best video ever
Linus: Gold Xbox controller, 3 videos... Meh.
Without Linus: 2 awesome video concepts that can be turned into a series, that people love, both provide possible content for months if not years, and neither cost $80k
I absolutely love this kind of video and would appreciate it if you could explain some more things about different Pc components.
This is one of the best videos you guys have ever done and I hope you do many more like it in the future.
Videos where Linus is on vacation are always interesting, because they do either weird stuff or make videos you never thought you needed until you watched them. They should have a whole other channel where Linus is always “on vacation”
Agreed 👍
So a channel for LMG without Linus?
@@DerMBen LMG is now The Media Group
-Linus- Tech Tips
We’ve waited for this. It’s going to be a good week.
Anthony on thumbnail, turbo nerd edition in the title, "Lienus on vacation" in the opening... This is going to be awesome
More of this if possible! This is the kind of tech content TH-cam is missing
This was super helpful gave me alot of information. It'll help me alot. Thank you LTT Team!
I really like 'Turbo Nerd" you should do more of them
Reminds me of the older LTT days.
0:54
"If you apply 12 volts to a CPU, it'll look something like this"
Machine: *he has been summoned*
We need more videos like this.
Thank you for diving into the rabbit hole.
Definitely more of these. It's a good introduction for hobbyist to understand the tech a bit better
"...we went full nerd." ... worth it. I've been in tech for 30 years and I learned new things today.
Same
Anthony explained for 4 minutes and it was still 100 times better than my professor who takes hours and hours per week. I WANT MORE OF LINUS VACATIONS!!
Yeah, his explanation of interleaved switching was pretty great.
@@TheMightyZwom yes it was when u have a professor that explains the term pressure by giving the example of farting
@@jyotpatel3149 Hahaha xD
loving this video learning so much thanks for the info and keep up the good work
Awesome! Let’s get more deep dives! I’d love 40+ min break downs on components like CPU , GPU , RAM , all the Ports etc. It would be extremely informative just like this video. Great job, keep it up.
These rare in-depth LTT videos are the best part of the channel. I wish they were more common
Very true!
Please continue Turbo Nerd Edition as a series. This was extremely fun and interesting!
I would love to see more of these turbo nerd!! I was expecting this video to be longer as well!!
I love this format! The level of knowledge and talent at LMG is seriously impressive.
Linus has been on vacation for 1 video and Anthony drops the best LTTStore sell in recorded history
As linus is on vacation, I think everyone would agree that we want a linux with Anthony series..
Make an LTT distro. The community will update it.
LTT distro where random processes are dropped
YES YES YES
This
We all know what the default background will be.
Man, I was not expecting to learn that much. This video is awesome!
Great video. A lot of the stuff i had to read through and interpret some science to glean understandings (20 years ago) of dual channel mode, IPC and controllers, PCI2 and 3 bandwidth. Serial transmissions versus Parrarel transmission styles and more. This stuff is not rocket science especially when it is explained at this level or around this level. So good for LTT to put out the next level up of detail and some of the science behind the magic and the fun ! Seeing the diagrams for DDR vs DDR2 was enough to melt my young brain back then. TH-cam really is a difference maker for turning dry content into accessible and enjoyable content ! and LTT certainly seem to be at the top of this game.
Him: "You might be thinking more phases equals more better."
Me: God damnit, he's a mind reader.
What can't Anthony do?
I literally thought that as soon as he said it
@@caffeineTX hug me, because I am far :(
I can’t explain how “turbo nerd edition” video type is now my favorite (potential) series. It’s sooo informative! I need more.
I love this kind of content! Please make more of these!
Absolutely want more videos like this!
Before the newly self-proclaimed Electrical Engineers explode in the comments, as an EE, this is pretty well researched and digestible for an average viewer. Great Job Again Anthony and Alex!
What were you anticipating those "self-proclaimed" EEs would say which you wanted to prevent?
It is great
As a physics student I agree. I was actually really surprised LTT pulled this off with enough information for the average viewer but not too much to put them off.
Actually, it's Alex, who is credited as writer in the titles, though, Anthony was involved for sure...
Especially the inductor part
