Hi all!

We somehow managed to shoot the usual 3x Ask GNs even while moving into a new office. This one takes Patron questions, but we have a request: If you have questions about how we're going to use the office going forward (barring questions we won't answer for security reasons), please post them in the Patreon Discord. It'd be fun to do an office-specific/move-specific question set for Patreon backers. It's a special occasion!

Another Patrons Ask GN episode! Thanks for all your questions!

Have You Tested Small VRM Heatsinks?

00:53 - Satoshi_Nakamoto: “#askgn-questions Hey team I was wondering if you guys have ever done any testing on products like 5T to use them for VRM cooling? That could be a good video”

Any Faster Way to Stress Test?

02:58 – bozLast: “#askgn-questions We all know how much time benchmarking and stability testing takes. Set up bios reset wait till windows loads or crash repeat ad nauseam. Do you know any live usb linux distros that can speed up this process? Is there a fast distro to test basic stuff like cpu and ram is stable enough to boot windows?”

Case Testing Methods

04:59 - Turbo Taliban Tim: “#askgn-questions Hi GN, what methodology or reasoning is behind the components in the case testing bench? Do you find them to be similar components that an average user might have? Something you've always used in tests and it was just sort of grandfathered in? What made you stick with those components?”

How Do YouTubers Keep it Up?

08:00 – muddymind: “#askgn-questions I've been wondering for some time about the personal life of youtubers in general. The impression I get is that you go way over the typical 40h/week of work and barely take any vacations. How the hell can you keep it up without reaching extreme exhaustion or burn out? Huge kudos for you guys for consistently being able to deliver great content without fail.”

Thoughts on Extended Warranties?

13:31 - Honey Tree Evil Eye: “#askgn-questions Hey Steve. I recently purchased a Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080 ti from newegg. I got an email reminder about buying the newegg warranty for $70. What are your thoughts on extended warranties and are oem warranties sufficient? Thanks”
