Building an electric bike isn’t easy, especially when using unconventional electronics, such as a drone motor. After 3 years of development, I have a bike that I’m finally happy with… but who knows what I’ll change next…

Watch these overclockers crank Intel’s Core i9 10900K all the way to 7.7GHz
For the time being, the highest validated overclock for Intel’s brand new Core i9 10900K Comet Lake CPU is just over 7.7GHz, achieved by a team of enthusiasts with tubs of liquid helium at their disposal. Suffice to say, don’t try this at home.
Professional overclocker Elmor and his team certainly didn’t. Sequestered in a lab at Asus’s headquarters, Elmor and the gang got busy dumping a steady supply of liquid helium into a pot attached to an Asus ROG Maximus XII Apex motherboard, which is built for this sort of thing.
AMD B550 Motherboards Announced: PCIe 4.0 Support for as Little as $100
With AMD’s new mainstream Ryzen 3 3000 CPUs hitting our test bench a couple of weeks ago and Vega-packing Ryzen 4000 Renoir desktop chips seemingly waiting in the wings, now is as good a time as any for new affordable AMD motherboards. Board makers have recently been busy rolling out to Intel-based Z490 boards. But those same companies are also about to usher in a slew of B550 boards (announcing today and going on sale starting June 16) for recent AMD processors that bring most of the key features (like PCIe 4.0 support) of the higher-end X570 platform that launched last year at lower price points that start at $100.
Adventures with solderless 3D printed circuits + conductive filament
I had in my possession some X3D conductive ABS. The question begged: Could I create a 3D printed PCB that didn’t use a soldering iron? Yes!
Well, sort of..
I certainly learned a lot making this video but the conductive filament isn’t quite up to the task, based on my experiences and those I reviewed of others.
This filament was supplied to me free of charge by my filament sponsor X3D. It was my choice to make the video and all opinions expressed are my own.

ZFS versus RAID: Eight Ironwolf disks, two filesystems, one winner
This has been a long while in the making—it’s test results time. To truly understand the fundamentals of computer storage, it’s important to explore the impact of various conventional RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) topologies on performance. It’s also important to understand what ZFS is and how it works. But at some point, people (particularly computer enthusiasts on the Internet) want numbers.

Cheap PCB Assembly from China [Test & Tutorial]
This video shows how to use JLCPCB’s cheap assembly service.
Sponsor: $2 for 5 PCBs (Any Color): https://jlcpcb.com
Since I’m developing boards on a weekly basis I had to test JLC’s new service and show how to easily use it with EasyEDA online design tool. The results are surprising and you can get off really cheap using basic components. I hope this quick tutorial will help to handle the limitations and get you first assembled boards from china really cheap.
3D Printed Youtube Subscribers Counter: ESP8266 D1 mini
Hello guys, in this video I show you how I made a YouTube subscribe counter and how you can make your own. If you have a 3D printer, you can use my STLs, if you don’t have one you can use different ways to make this work.
