Patrons Ask GN 5: Founding GN, Detecting GPU Wear

Patrons Ask GN episode #5! Timestamps below: 00:27 - Semtex2199: “@Steve Burke How did you found gamers nexus? Did you do it all by yourself? what were your thought processes when creating and dedicating yourself to a tech youtube channel and how did it happen?” 06:04 – BreakingDimes: “#askgn-questions What kills a CPU quicker high voltages or high temps?” 06:56 – FourthTuna: “This kinda adresses the retrospective testing question in the last askgn episode. This has been done for many times, sorry if I missed it on GN channel but: Do some tests architecture vs architecrute? like sandy bridge vs kaby lake same clocks, throw devil's canyon and all that in there as well, do some older extreme i7-s that are 6/12 against 8700k at same clocks? Maybe do a graph of fps versus nanometer count? just curious what's in there. Do some in-depth testing of an older and newer 4/8's see in which games the performance gap is lower, in which games it's higher, why? same clocks of course. This might be a bad test since there is ddr4 vs ddr3 in most cases, yet there are nice cases of ddr4 vs ddr4, take i7-6800k vs 8700k which are 16 months apart they both use ddr4 or maybe 5820k vs 8700k which are like 2 years apart” 09:40 – gamertaboo: “@Steve Burke Do you ever get time off? I just sort of realized you always seem to be working every waking hour of the day. I feel bad if you never get time to just go play a game or anything anymore, which seems like you must have liked to do at some point with the name being "Gamers Nexus" and all. Are you still a gamer?” 11:37 – INKS: “Is there a testing reason or otherwise that tech channel don't typically test MMORPGs when doing benchmarks?” 14:00 - Pow Bam Zing: “With an influx of used GPU's potentially on the horizon depending on the crypto currency market, is there software or a way to determine the amount of abuse a GPU has taken? Such as hours on like a HDD would show? Or thermal cycles?”
