I guess the socket almost right. I thought it was an lga 1155 asrock board (im not good with older hardware)

Like, I only know that kind of motherboard and color scheme because I was looking for cheap board for an old Pentium CPU, and I'm still wrong on the specific chipset it used. Damn Linus

@Pratyush Pathak LGA 1156 isn't a name bro it's a socket number, and the fact that he remembered that is pretty impressive.

I got the Biostar motherboard and relative year correct (the colors were a dead giveaway). The socket I had no clue as it could have been any number of things based on pin count. That color scheme was used for a a few older generations.

@Pratyush Pathak The reason GPUs and motherboards have specific names is because you can have 2 seemingly identical pieces of PC hardware (one in the left hand and one in the right). The only way to tell the difference is by the model name to tell difference in CPU compatibility or GPU compatibility (no SLI/crossfire) or ram limits (16/32/64/128gig max/ECC). For some motherboards, the only difference between 1 model over the other is a physical BIOS limit to disable overclocking or impose RAM limits or disable ECC or remove CPU compatibility/enable certain CPUs and you can't simply flash certain BIOSes onto certain boards once a certain BIOS and ROM etc has been put on it. GPUs you don't have to worry about as much as all the name tells you is cost vs how high the card will clock and what processor/AMD or Nvidia and the grade of cooling.

And Jake from Gameranx.

@name name But linus sex this knows way more about pcs

Yeah unless he had his staff remoted in and talking to him in AirPods under the headphones... #LIEnus

Linus was a product manager for a while. Apparently he has quite the memory.

Honestly though it really was impressive

But Jake...

He didn't waste it. He used it as a 30s ad spot for LTTstore.com AND got the tweet as well. Big brain move right there.

@@aspuzling dang that's true, Austin got played.

I think he called his mother tbh, not sure though.

Why does that go to Linus’s lol

@@daniel5097 It's a joke about how searching Austin Evans Wikipedia just shows Linus's.

Jake roper did it in his quiz too it was an awesome moment

Dude you’re a genius

You can really tell that he was with the NCIX inventory management (procurement?) department for the time period that a lot of the older hardware in these questions...

@@Steamrick He was a product manager for water cooling parts for couple of years and later became category manager for various PC parts.

Until about 2016 when he got so busy he doesn't spend any time doing stuff hands on as much

@@WayStedYou Which is understandable, and yet YT warriors will give him so much stick for it. #stopheyt ;-p ;-p

Marky 360 they just made that

Except for most of the years which he's admitted earlier that he is not very good at it

@@laparngantuk seemed pretty good at it to me

@@EikottXD of course, we know he's just being humble lol

​@@laparngantuk if you've ever been around people extremely knowledgeable about any particular topic, they know what they don't know which makes them think that they don't know that much. They have enough knowledge to know the bounds of their own knowledge which means they still know significantly more than most people

@ThaReal CLo With cheap liquor.

@@frostyphoenix1278 yeah they went bankrupt in 2017

I wonder if he gets anything out of Taran's work videos

@@jarradtait5322 nah bro

You can add Mac adres to the list

Yeah thats how it is

:v yes

the roboraptors was dressed in a pikachu pajamas?

@@haniffaris8917 Semantics joke?? you got me there, i should have added a "while" :D (edited one in now)

Oddly enough, I knew a few of those. Not the mainboards, but for example I knew that Colorful 680 on sight (an enthusiast tier passive card is somthing that stuck in my head) and I'd have answered the bonus question exactly as Linus did (that being a 550ti is BS, the 460 did the exact same cooler design first). The only visible differnces are the extra cooling for the VRMs and the slight difference in design for the 'nameplate' on top of the 'wings' (not sure what to call them).

I'd +1 this

oh ok take my upvote then

Linus is Top Gear of PC world and Alex is what you actually have in your garage.

I watch Linus to know about the tech marvels & watch Alex for things I can buy.

Oh it's much more than that... lol

Smarty Paws Did he post the pic?

He worked as an inventory manager at NCIX around that time.

@@silentKeys20 I know that. But still, that's over 10 year old facts. Recalling facts from over 10 years ago at will is just splendid.

@@mgmanzanillo Because it's been his life for that long. It's what has taken up the most hours in his day for 10+ years. If you're doing something that much for that long it just happens naturally.

I mean he's looking at the product on a screen, do I see why you think this

yilli_ I think he just means Linus is really smart

He wasn't naming the model numbers, he was naming the CPU socket the board used. Socket names aren't too unreasonable to remember if you're deep into PC hardware.

Bruh he was a product managet at NCIX😑😑😑

@@dinkarfowkar999 i was praising on how he remembers everything.

Seriously, him and Steve from gamers nexus would be the only two I could think that could come close.

@@nateg452 I don't know who Steve is but if he is on the level of Anthony then hell yeah!

@@tripathijee4912 just search Steve gamers nexus. One video in and you'll understand lol. He's very...in depth. With lots of charts haha. But if you want a comprehensive review on something tech, he's your man, he goes way above and beyond.

@@nateg452 sure I will! Thanks for the recommendation 👍

I'd give him a task of guessing 10 Linux distros with the year of release :)

I think he meant email notification for lttstore.com

Gamers Nexus

Yeah so C4ETech can come and fake an accent? No thanks

@@ankit22sharma Exactly,dude,idk why he thinks we won't go to him,if he doesn't fake an accent

*chrissy teigen eesh face*

That would just be embarrassing. Not saying I would be any better. I love Jay to death, but if they threw up the same exact questions Linus has. My guess is he might answer one right. Everyone has their strong suits, Jays memory is not one of them.

he'd probably just b--ch and moan the whole time about how unfair the questions are

Nice

There is an Austin Evans on Wikipedia but that points to an Australian politician that has a very short Wikipedia page.

Which one
