Hi all!

We've just uploaded a new Patrons Ask GN episode. You can find the timestamps below!

TIMESTAMPS

00:16 - Ice Queen: “#askgn-questions You recently talked about what it's like dealing with AMD, what is it like dealing with the various CPU cooler manufacturers? Do they tend to get cranky with you if your review isn't favorable, have you had runins (Without naming specific names if you'd prefer) with manufacturers that either would not send you samples because of previous coverage of other makers or due to a product you've reviewed from them unfavorably? Do AIO brands get upset when data is shown that an air cooler is beating out their much more expensive water coolers? Also thank you for the content, love learning about a lot of the nitty gritty stuff no one else covers. <3”

04:59 - UltimateF8: “#askgn-questions As you might have seen with some of the biggest YouTube channels, often these channels are forced to sacrifice quality to reach a broader audience. For example, many gaming Youtubers reduce quality to be more accessible to children, or in the case of tech, LTT or Austin Evans have clickbait videos that appeal mostly to younger audiences. Do you foresee GN having to do the same if the channel continues to grow rapidly?”

07:07 – StarTrak: “@Steve Burke I really enjoyed the DIY Hades Canyon water cooling video! On that subject, would you consider doing more "MacGyver" content, à la "Whole Room Water Cooling" of LinusTechTips fame? I've always been interested in things like shoestring-budget water cooling, janky-but-doable case modding, and the idea of putting a radiator out the window, because no noise is good noise. I know and appreciate that GamersNexus has a heavy emphasis on falsifiable, evidence-based testing, disseminating facts, and providing solid, rational answers, but I've definitely done my share of -frankly- stupid things, and as a creative but unskilled PC enthusiast, it would be nice to also see content that resonates with the inner immature tinkerer. The "big fish" "info-tainment" tech YouTubers do a polished job that feels out of reach of the average guy with a Dremel, and I think GamersNexus could do a good job conveying a more realistic outcome of outlandish computer-building schemes. (Not saying you guys are bad, I just think GN conveys content in a very organic-feeling way.)”

11:30 - P230: “@Steve Burke Did you guys ever figure out what happened to the missing vega card?”

11:39 – silkmonkey: “In terms of airflow, reliability, noise, longevity, etc what are the actual differences in fans (assuming same size)? What to look for? Seems like 1500 RPM is 1500 RPM and 60 CFM is 60 CFM”
