TIMESTAMPS

00:58 - Lucian Popescu Lucian Popescu: “Question for Ask GN: Does AMD intends to do something similar to Ryzen refresh to Vega products? I mean to go on lower lithography in order to get better performance and less power hungry. Is it possible for them to do that?”

02:50 – Thomson: “@Steve Burke #askgn-questions Why are Dram prices still so high and continuing to grow? I understand there is a higher demand now but if you look at any retailer there is plenty of stock avilable. GPU prices are crazy at the moment because stock is very low ie you cant buy certain cards on most websites, but Dram is available everywhere still at an inflated price, what gives?”

08:30 – Soupa: “#askgn-questions You've previously mentioned that there's no tolerance for failing to spread thermal paste across the entire die of a GPU when attaching an aftermarket cooler (e.g., G12 + AIO). With this in mind, how often should thermal paste be replaced to ensure small spots, such as edges and corners, don't dry out and result in a dead GPU?”

12:08 – Ghostpilot: “#askgn-questions there seems to be a gulf between the impressive hardware specs on Gigabyte boards and their relatively mediocre software / behind-the-times bios arrangements. Is this a criticism that they are aware of / are taking steps to rectify?”

15:16 – Streetguru: “#askgn-questions Why does Ryzen hit a ceiling for it's frequency? Design or Silicon?”

18:49 – chococake: “In the VRM temperature/heatsink video, did either the gigabyte or the Asus mobo have a vrm temp sensor built in? I always wonder how accurate/useful the software readings are.”

21:03 – abalanceddiet: “What do you do with old hardware that you don't need anymore? Do you sell it, recycle it, give it away etc.? Or do you keep everything?”

27:35 - jordan.p: “#ASKGN - You commented on the Ray Tracing video that NVIDIA's Tom Petersen had provided feedback on your Sea Of Thieves console benchmarking. Is it common that industry contacts will contact you on videos that aren't directly tied to one their products or are reviewing a competitor?”

30:14 - iManny99: “@Steve Burke #askgn-questions What temps should I look to keep my cpu and gpu under when overclocking and seeking quiet operation as well? For instance, I'm playing with the idea of deliding my 8700K. It's currently under a H100iV2 with temps below 55 during gaming (4.8GHz), but my custom fan (AP-15s) curve gets noisier than I want to achieve these temps. I'd like to run 5.0GHz (I can get 5.1GHz stable but with really loud fans). Just wondering safe temps to use to dial fan speeds. Thanks”

33:01 – tcamps: “@Steve Burke #askgn-questions When developing the mod mat what was design iteration like while working with a manufacturer? You mention iterating on materials and color consistency - was that prototyped in-house with instructions sent to them, was it discussed with them and they sent samples to you, how long were iteration times, etc?”

37:07 – Nory: “@Steve Burke How does it feel to have people willing to pay an extra $20 premium for your signature on your already awesome modmat?”
