00:27 – Korwin: “@Steve Burke Where my Big F*cking Gaming Display's at?”

01:15 – ManBearPIG: “#askgn-questions Do you think soldered CPU's will make a comeback? I thought AMD mentioning it and Intel saying something about the Skylake-x refresh (end of 2018) having it. Maybe they should provide the option? I would pay 50 $ extra for a soldered CPU (It should be standard on an 800$+ extreme marketed product). The only option today seems delidding for a decent OC and temps on a big custom loop (causing inconvenience when cleaning the block if not sealed). What do you think?”

03:39 - iManny99: “@Steve Burke #askgn-questions When you get your PSU testing station all setup, would you test refurbished PSUs and compare to new ones? Microcenter seems to sell a lot of refurbs at what I would consider significant discounts. Versus used, refurbished for me comes with the notion that there was something that needed to be fixed.”

05:09 – RidoKilos: “@Steve Burke Are you a part of some super secret discord channel with multiple other techtubers like bitwit and paul's hardware? If so, Please post screenshot of something hilarious/goofy that Kyle posted as "proof" or your "insider club cult" or to stir up some """drama""". As always, thanks for the actual content as well. Rest easy knowing that you are much more than a performing monkey lol”

06:29 - jon_appalling: “#askgn-questions Hi Steve. Getting ready to build a system based on Ryzen 2700X and the x470 mobo. In terms of populating the memory slots, is it "better" (in a 16GB setup) to populate all 4 DIMM slots with 4x4 GB or just two slots with 2x8 GB? I ask because I heard or read somewhere that I cannot run my memory at 3200 MHz with all four slots filled? Thoughts please and thank you!”

08:44 – IonParty: “@Steve Burke #askgn-questions i recently received and email from EK support when i had asked if they had plans for monoblocks and hard line tubing support to their all aluminium fluid gaming line-up and they replied that they will later this month have the fittings for HD tubing available for this kit. With aluminium being so much cheaper for both manufacturers and consumers do you think the 2-3 degrees Celsius difference in cooling potential could give us hardware enthusiasts a way to get into advanced water cooling without having to pay 1.5x - 2x the cost of copper solutions?”
