My Streaming Setup and Electronics Tools Collection

Hello everyone!

As many of you ask about the tools I am using for twitch streams as well as what electronics related tools I am using. I decided it was time to put together a blog post for that. I will likely keep updating this specific post when my streaming setup evolves or I need to add more content. This blog post is derived and updated version of the Gist that I posted a while ago.

This post is currently reflecting the gear I am using in May 2020. If you think anything is missing from this list or it is not up to date any more. Feel free to ping me and I will do my best to update the list! 🙂

Computer

Currently I use a scratch built PC for streaming, here is the list of the major components:

  • AMD RYZEN 7 3700X 8-Core
  • Gigabyte X570 Motherboard
  • 64GB of RAM
  • Gigabyte Radeon RX 5600 XT GPU
  • EVGA SuperNova 650 G3 modular power supply
  • Noctua NH-U14S 140mm SSO2-Bearing CPU cooler
  • Fractal Design Meshify C Black Compact Mid Tower case
  • Two 1080p Dell monitors I had since years

1BitSquared and other stuff

If you like what you see and would like to support the streams and development of new open source devices, but you already have all the 1BitSquared hardware you need, you can support me through Patreon and/or Twitch subscriptions.

You can reach me through twitter and on our 1BitSquared Discord server. I hope this list is useful.

Cheers,
