Someone at Microsoft who looks at crash logs is trying to work out why some idiot keeps unplugging pci-e devices.
and the fact that they're so frequent
this made me lol hard
Nobody at Microsoft does this unless there is a large flag.
@@testthisfordecficiencies Linus is touching computers they have all the flags out
nah they will automatically ignore it
Linus casually blue-screens his test bench for 23 minutes
I blue screened my old laptop for a week straight, then I got a new one...
That's only the video, imagine raw unedited footage xD
@@robbeandredstone7344 do you still have your old laptop
Yes, But After it reset (Crashed during an update) it Workes half reliable.
who hasn't?
I just need any old graphics card just to have a display.

I smell broke
@alysdexia "Laying" was the right one you stupid fuck
@alysdexia r/woosh
@alysdexia lying is to lie... like your defense in your false correction.
Hans Orsic actually, lay is the action of placing something down, lie is the action of being down, so laying would be laying down a sheet of paper, but you would be lying down in bed, so lying is correct
Finally, a feature that will save me 30 seconds every 5 years when I upgrade my GPU. Truly amazing.
@Egon Freeman you mean something like thunderbolt? Or Asus's proprietary external laptop GPU port?
@Egon Freeman I have a feeling it's for servers
Yeah because you have to set it up like 24h
@@luisfarias2360 Definitely for the newer servers that use newer storage. Watching this 4 years later , almost all storage is hot swappable now in the home . Maybe this is how they developed/implemented these features.
to be fair, this *would* be pretty nice for things like express cards (pcie equivalent to PCI's pcmcia cards), which could let you quickly trade out exotic I/O for like retro controllers, old external drives, firewire for old peripherals, and things of that nature, that you only use for one or two devices that you genuinely do not need to always have, but would be nice to have access to easily.
Dammit, need more FPS!
*Throws in a 1080 Ti mid-game*
Jmcgee1125 me tbh
I just lmao‘d so hard xD
Missed opportunity for the vid imo
"dammit, its out of juice"
*throws out 1080 Ti and replaces it with another one*
TACTICAL RELOAD
Linus: a lot of problems, nothing make any sense.
ASUS: RTFM!
Linus: Things make sense.
dtiydr
Also Linus: Who cares about what ASUS has to say ?
Linus: "This motherboard is PCI-E hot-swappable"
My motherboard: *cannot hotswap case fans*
I remember in my old PC,I tried hot swapping my case fans while recording audio because it was too loud. Removing it was fine but when I put that molex fan back, BOOM PSU blew up destroying our PC.
i actually hot swapped my 1070 and it worked. it was stupid but it worked

It could also be over usb 6 or something and we could just plug it in and out anytime we want.
Someone allegedly did that to our VALORANT party the other day😂
Uses GTX Titan X "Just to have a display output" 😐
I thought exactly the same
Me too
SeedlessBananas was already on the bench, no point in swapping
Ikr
that board costs like 7x what a titan x does, not to mention the cpus
"The Titan X is here just so we can have output..." ah yeah, it's just one of those leftover components one just has laying around for small tests like these...
My point is that he's using a freaking Titan X "just to have video output" instead of a low tier video card or whatever...
kabinx r/whooosh
That card's been in that room for a while now, and Linus is probably too lazy to go down to their storage and pick up another GPU.. And yeah I'm pretty sure he has a bunch of Titan cards lying around.
Edit: nvm he went down anyway lol.
Yeah nothing major
Classic Linus.
i don't know what i like hearing more..the truly exponential level of frustration with every passing "go ahead & cut"...or the little half bark, have skidmark noise linus made removing devices lol top notch bois, we all appreciate the sacrifices made
"Whea, uncorrectable error"
That was a good one.
new drinking game, everytime Linus says "go ahead and cut" take a shot and see if you survive the video
Brb dying

I survived comrade.... now let's play another game... Let's take a shot in every scene where is Frodo... in The lord of the rings. (extended version).

“This video brought to you by Gary from ASUS working over the weekend!”
And now Gary is under his employ.
Things I have learned from this video:
1) Windows Update is ALWAYS an inconvenience, and;
2) Linus' favourite curse word is 'sh*t.'
Me too!
Isn't it everyones favourite curse word?
This has to be the most hardcore Geekout I have ever witnessed.
3:00 "No idea what any of these setting do. Sure! Looks good to me!"
Every time I have to make changes in the BIOS.
It would help if there was a standard and every BIOS mfgr didn't have their own names and terms for common functions - that, and a better description for what the function does rather than just a full name for the acronym next to the setting.
@Justin Kashtock: Amen!
@@justinkashtock333I mean, you can just look up what a setting does online
Literally every hardware manufacturer on the planet: "Never plug or unplug PCI components when your system is running. PCI is not hot-swappable. Don't do it. It's no good. That's a NO-NO.
Linus: *hot-swaps every PCI component available* "Why is it not working?! What's going on?!"
This is why I subscribed. This is why I'm still subscribed. This is why I'm never unsubscribing.
Pfff, who listens to the people who makes the stuff? PfFFFF.
PCI != PCI-Express. PCI is a bus, PCI-Express is a collection of ports.
@@deusexaethera I am not even going to pretend I knew that. Thank you, the more I know.
The PCI-e spec is actually hot-swapable and has been since version 1.0, interesting that it's just a bios flag limiting it though.
@@ShadowsNight1000 i think that its not just a flag because the mainboard has to initiallise the card and everything like on boot but while in windows so no post. and i think that not every shitty 30 mainboard or so will be able to do that. but im not a manufacturer so what do i know :P
Linus: *The Titan X is just for display output*
Me: WTF
I swear when I'm done watching new videos from linus I always go back to old ones like this one am tell me I'm not the only one who does this
You are not. Though I only watch the more extreme videos. Also, it shows how long the way is that LTT and LMG has come.
This was straight up one of my favorite videos for quite a while.
AntVenom Well hey there AntVenom!
Wow its been a while since i saw your videos or any mc video in general
Didn’t expect to see you on an LTT vid Ant
lol what a place to find antvenom
How about a pc spotlight in the foreseeable future?
This is a microcosm of the journey of a tech geek. All the stages are present: curiosity > enthusiasm > stubbornness > humility > reorientation > revelation > mastery.
well this is what happens when you don't read the manual. lol
EXACTLY. THANK YOU.
I like the "Did ya even RTFM, dude?" Come on! It's Linus. OF COURSE HE DIDN'T READ THE F--ING MANUAL! Did you not read who submitted that complaint, dude?
RTFM would have led to a short video.
*AHEM!* Shorter video. There was that whole thing of needing a beta bios from ASUS to unlock the feature.
But, again, it's Linus. Did you think he's going to stop and read the manual for once? He even states it on the start of the video he was going in cold without reading anything.
"This is the same as this, so if you have this, you have this." - Linus Sebastian
I just love this video. So intense watching Linus trying to figure out how this works and finally beeing overhyped about hot swapping a pcie card.
no more usb sticks for linus, just swapping ssd directly on the mother board from now on
NO! He's now swapping graphics controllers. The ULTIMATE THRILL!
Eww, SATA, who would want to use SATA in the age of PCI-E storage transfer speeds?
Invertex People who have 16 TB of mechanical SATA drives...
CanuckGod there is a 15tb sas ssd in 2.5 Inch from samsung xD
Samsung PM1633a MZILS15THMLs
cache alone 16GB
I said who would WANT to. You don't WANT to use Sata, you simply have to given your current drives. Linus does not given his massive trove of hard drive tech to sample from. Heck, he could plug a bunch of those SATA drives up in raid and feed them through a PCI interface to get much faster speeds too.
Next Video: How to fix broken/worn out PCI-Express Slots..
Simple you just hot swap your motherboard
This is likely what that backplane is for. Typical PCIe connectors are only mechanically rated for 30 insertion cycles before their electrical specifications are no longer guaranteed.
In practice, PCIe is very robust and this isn't likely to be an issue unless you swap cards like a madman. I would suggest using riser cables so you ^2 your insertion cycles; if you wear out the slot on your riser, you get a new riser, not a new motherboard!
Even better, there are pcie riser with multiple connector, of course you can only connect one of them at a time, but for PCIE extreme hotswappers, it would be very helpful.
Tightening cream
In fact, for Linux hot unplug pci device will normally cause a kernel panic, as most driver doesn't handle PCIE error well.
If you follow correct way, by revmoing the kernel module using the device, and then echo 1 > /remove, it could be removed without problem.
In fact, thunderbolt3 eGPU hot-unplug is just exactly hot unpluging an PCIE device, and it doesn't crash your Windows (but still crash linux as there is no way to disable one added GPU in X yet).
Dang, wish I saw your comment earlier, got a laptop with eGPU, fancied myself to try linux gaming, and boom.
Wasted almost 30 minutes before I realize whats happening :
I'm going to do this with a spare motherboard _right now_
@Moataz AhmedA bit late, but here you have some forensics (in case you still wonder what happened that day): The PCie protocol is designed to be hot plug, but a difference thing is the connector type that you need to use for that. The ground level must be the same for the electronics of the device you have in your hand and the equipment you are connecting it to, before letting any electrical signals to flow between the two (otherwise an electric arc / electrostatic discharge can easily damage delicated chips). External connectors and external enclosures are designed to achieve just that (either the ground pin is longer so it gets connected first, or just by ensuring proper contact between well designed metallic parts of the enclosures before the connector is fully inserted ).
But no shame, I know it because it also happened to me.
18:06 - That's how excited I got when the very first Plug'n'Play ISA cards and motherboards came out. Smack it in, Boot up, Install drivers. No friggin jumper or dip switch configuration needed. Wooooaaa...
And memory you didn't have to configure in the BIOS first. Or CPUs with pages of jumper settings.
You just reminded that pcs used to have jumpers that could be changed. Nothing to miss there.
These are the LTT videos I like to see.
Not those when his screenwriter writes a script, the other one does the build, and Linus just sits in front of the camera to read the lines.
Because they don't seem as genuine LTT content. More like they hired a bunch of people to crank as more videos as possible that have a more corporate feeling to them, compared to a small team when LTT was in that house filming in the kitchen.
Absolutely +1
I lke both. I mean its not bad to miss the old videos, but hey, you can just watch the old ones then. New stuff with new editing is cool too. And these old-style videos are quite frequent to enjoy too. So you don't have to get rid of the new style to enjoy the old. Both are good and there are some new new styles we haven't seen yet and will come in future years. Then you can start complaining about how the todays new style was good and the new style in the future is bad.
Almost everything you see from LTT is scripted...Including the videos you say are not scripted.
honestly i am impressed of how determined you are Linus , i would have given up around 30% of the way.
never disappointed in your content 👌
I would be even more impressed when Linus shows determination to use only Manjaro KDE or Kubuntu Linux for next 30 days exploring and discovering everything Linux. Challenge accepted?
this. i would have thrown everything out at the exact moment windows needd to update while they tryn to get it to work
haydenlake You know he could've just made a video about something else right?
Maybe it's a Canadian thing, I wouldn't have given up either. I can't see something that cool in a BIOS and not get it to work. I've been in similar situations and I go on for days with determination and persistence to get it done.
+Kaiden Rogers Chances are you or I would never have gotten it working though because these motherboard manufacturers are asshats that ship half baked, but totally broken, features and there's no way Asus would have set him up with that BIOS if he weren't so big on UA-cam.
This video made me LOL. The signal-test screens between each "cut" were a nice effect.
lmao I love how Linus' shirt changes like 4 times during this
Notpoop
Five if you count the intro
Shirt hot-swap, eh
Take a shot everytime linus says "go ahead and cut" for permanent liver damage.

"The system crashed again"
Me: *YOU NEED PROTOGENT*
Hot swap a power supply
There are servers with dual psus where you can just pull one out
@@electrosquid8325 all servers have to have that since you cant just power down a server. Also PSU failures would be catastrophic.
...i should know as I accidentally crashed one with plugging in a PSU with the wrong wattage into it.
Good thing everything in a data center is redundant lol
@@MrMarci878 In a datacenter maybe, small business servers often have single PSUs though. HP ML110s for example. Rackmount servers almost always have multiple power supplies so if you work in a datacenter, I guess that's why you think all servers are similar in configuration :)
@@tredd6946 not a very bright business if they're not using some form of redundancy with PSUs (works for a small business) unless you're fully cloud based for everything, that's cheaping out on a stupid level IMO
like here, if it designed for it its no issue ;)

I have to tell you man. For a while I kind of avoided your videos, and I'm not sure why, I think it was the sponsors messages on each video. I thought it was a bit gimmicky. ANYWAYS, I spent some time today watching a few of your vids, watched a few series' of yours (my favorite thus far being the submerged oil cooled PC), and I stand 100% corrected. You've got a new follower, and I whole heatedly enjoyed pretty much most of the content I've watched today.
I was also pleased to learn you're a fellow Canadian, so shutout from the east coast!
follower == sub =)
Best thing about Linus' baked-in sponsor reads though is you can always skip them, unlike other UA-camrs that are putting unskippable 15sec ads every 90 seconds on a 10 min video
happened to me too. Linus can come off as a bit obnoxious or...something... because of his energy and sense of humor. After a while I pretty seamlessly went from full-tilt critical to subscriber
Valley Kid I had the same situation I just never watched his stuff but after going through a few I’ve found him very charming
+Linus tech Tips, if you want to PROPERLY test whether Windows is the issue, then hibernate the computer before swapping hardware. Windows will return to its previous state upon bootup and will be surprised to see new hardware (or missing hardware). Then you can see whether Windows copes or panics.
Shawn Elliott
It will panic if the hardware screams at it...
@@cezarcatalin1406 Well that's fair tbh, I imagine I'd panic if my PC started screaming at me
The Titan X is just here , so that I can have a display . . I wish I could say that myself D:
"today im just going to use a titan, because racecar"
I'll just use this titan, so if it breaks it won't be as bad........
"I'm just going to use this titan because right now I don't have anything worse than this"
Please overlclock this cheap Titan that I only use for display, to beat GN
I just use this cheap Titan card so that I can look into the bios if anything goes south.
Every component of that computer hates you now.
I love your wince as you plug/unplug things, and then at the end your sheer stunned glee when it finally works. Definitely a kindred spirit.

Dangit, Linus. I tried this on my system and now my toaster won't work.
PCIe Toaster
Toast is hotswapable but its not safe unless you disable knife extraction in the bios
Usually bread is hot swappable in toasters by default. I know this because I've roasted my fingers for years hot swapping the stuff.
You need to jumpstart it with a wet metal fork while plugged in.
lmao
3:02 Good to see that even hardware professionals don't even know what all of the bios settings do :P
""""professionals"""
He is kinda a professional. The range of knowledge he has is amazing.
I think even the developers aren't sure every now and then.
J0RAKU The jab was less at the knowledge possessed than the ghetto fashion Linus likes to do things ;)
he's not a hardware professional, he's just a guy who plugs GPUs and CPUs in and out of PCs
I love how I can never get tired of desperate and disappointed Linus. Don't know how many times I have watched this video. Also props to the editor for the great soundtrack.

Candi Soda something definitely got hot
Not big deal if you have dual psu system.
That's basically what forensic cyber crime units do. Pretty rad stuff.

This could actually make benchmarking multiple graphics cards on the same system less tedious.
I was thinking that but for most people, useless.
Gamesfan34260 for card testing and mission critical servers, this is an ideal board. (It's a server board, after all) HOWEVER, you are correct that this is mostly useless for the rest of us.
not really ,u still got to uninstall and install correct drivers to stop conflict errors
girlsdrinkfeck: I mean, at least you don't have to reboot your computer to uninstall and reinstall cards.
well he did on this video as it still gave errors and stopped responding
Oh man, I've been watching LTT for years and this has to be the most hilarious video. True Linus comes out.
These are my favorite LTT videos where Linus struggles for so long to get niche things working. It mirrors what I have to do at work.
"I confess I haven't done a ton of research coming in to this".... this is all you need to know.

#rtfm
In the late 90's, Compaq servers had PCI and PCI-X hot swap. I've made use of it several times. One time to swap a Quad-Ethernet PCI-X card that had blown on an NT4 BDC. You just slid the server out, pop the hood, and the catch is there was a power button by the hot swap slots. You powered it off to pull the card, do the swap and power it back on. It worked flawlessly. I even did it with Compaq RAID controllers that failed. Mind you they were secondary , not booting volumes. But it work flawlessly. The swapped in RAID card would read the config on the drives and present itself to NT4 Server. What this video shows is cool, but is not all that new of a feature. FWIW,the Compaq servers with this feature, did come with a price premium. They were not standard.
There's multi-server setups that even have hot swappable CPUs, lol. When you get into server territory you see a lot more options like that. Seeing something like this on a desktop/consumer board though... that's the interesting part here specifically.
Interesting rabbit hole to dive down. Thanks for the trip Linus. You figured it out! Kudos!
Can honestly say I've never seen Linus more ecstatic than when it finally worked! Also can honestly say I've never laughed at Linus's frustrations harder than in this video!!
Thanks for pushing the boundaries and showing us even more cool and unattainable hardware awesomeness!!
Titan X just for video ouput *sigh*
Sahil Pethe 😂😂😂
Sahil Pethe in
Didn't he say it's an "og titan, not so high end anymore"?
Brewpl I think he was talking about the one they cutted the heat spreader in half xD
Brewpl - that was a different one he used later in the video.
This video kept me on the edge of my seat for 20+ minutes. Wow

Huh, I am pretty sure I have seen you on multiple other yt channels that I watch.
Same here ,, this is very cool tech and should be in all customer boards to stop accidental damages to PCIe boards ,,, HIGHLY recommended !!!!! to all board makers for real

One of my favorites. This is informative plus we get the bloopers reel
My personal favorite part is the noises Linus makes every time he either unplugged or plugged in a PCI device. lol
"SHEYUUH"
-Linus
That's dedication.
he's just insane
1:40 I thought you were going to use those thermal transfer pads instead of paste from now on Linus :p
Trogdor not on those huge ass CPUs tho, the pads aren't big enough
unrelated but TROGDOR!
He probably recorded this part of the video before the thermal pad one.
go back to the video and see for yourself why..... ''last 2 minutes of the video"...
His happiness and enthusiasm, and passion really shows up.
I love how genuinely excited he is
Its like one GIANT blooper reel. Lmao
"Surprise hotplug"... is that what they call it now?
That's what my mother would call it. She's not a techie.
I really don't want to know what you were doing to your mother when she used that term.
Did the computer give consent for this suprise hotplug
I had to build a disk wipe device on a limited budget. The U.2 HBA supported hot swap, but the motherboard did not. When I pulled a NVMe drive from a hot swap bay, Windows would always hang.
I didn’t think of disabling the device in Device Manager until I watched this video. It worked!
I made a simple powershell script that would disable all NVMe controllers, then bring up a dialog box that says it’s safe to remove the NVMe drives. Once the drives are swapped, selecting “OK” in the dialog box allows the script to continue. The script then goes through and enables all disabled NVMe devices.
Pretty jank, but now 20 hour HDD wipes don’t have to be interrupted to wipe an NVMe drive.
Linus: NO! (meaning bad thing)
Also Linus: NO!!! (meaning GOOD thing)
:thonk:
WHY NO SLI, i would be very interested to see how the Titan would respond to have a bridge added and having SLI enabled ?
Don't call a 5450 sacrificial when I am in the process of trying to install Ubuntu on an HTPC with a 5450 in it. It can hear you, and now you made it sad.

Why do you need 8 monitors?
he is diving into the matrix
you have to love those videos!
This was truly the mountaintop of geekdom, and I enjoyed every minute of it
try to hot swap the power supply
HAAHAHHA
That's actually possible in systems with redundant PSUs
Servers have multiple PSUs
A shining example of why Linus makes videos instead of actually running enterprise servers. Rule number one, RTFM!
Plot twist: he can't read
Plot twist: it only worked after ignoring the vendor's instructions.
Seeing linus get this excited about a PCIE hotswap, is like watching a caveman make fire for the first time.
This was beautifully edited.
