Patrons Ask GN 6: Annoying Parts of the Job, Thermal Pads, Delids

Our sixth installment of Ask GN for Patreon backers exclusively! This one talks about all the topics listed below: TIMESTAMPS 00:59 – Bruman: “I'm looking at getting a 8700k then delidding it, on your delidding videos you tell us to carry the CPU carefully, and horizontally, after liquid metal is applied and the IHS is back in place to prevent spilling. Does this warning still apply after the CPU is in place and the CPU cooler installed on top? Do I have to keep the CPU horizontal even after a full computer build or is the pressure of the CPU cooler on top of the IHS enough to ensure no spilling can occur?” 02:33 – AsRockUnpredictableReferenceCard: “@GN Staff whats the most annoying process of hardware reviews?” 04:06 – inversion: “#askgn-questions @Steve Burke , What I observed with your case testing methodology is that you often use stock, no front panel, and reconfigured fans. For curiosities sake of some viewers, who potentially may buy a fan pack for their case, would you consider using a standard set of case fans in a typical push pull configuration e.g. 3 120 front intake, 2 120 top exhaust, and 1 120 rear exhaust?” 06:28 - whit3chick3n: “What is the performance difference between something like the NZXT G12 and a full waterblock for water cooling a gpu?” 08:40 - Duri0: “@Steve Burke Hi steve, any reason you haven't reviewed the Corsair Air 740 case in detail? from the outside it looks like something right up your street (high airflow, dual chamber, etc.)” 09:47 – metalshark: “If you need a 2mm thermal pad, do you lose efficiency using 2 x 1mm thermal pads stuck together?” Host: Steve Burke Video: Andrew Coleman
