Hey everyone,
I figured I'd just share this here. This may not interest all of you -- but that's OK. You are welcome to skip and check out the next post. This is not related to computers or technology.
This may be helpful for you to understand my goals and objectives in life in general, as it gives some perspective on why I'm...

Hey everyone,
It's been about one year of my life now since I started seriously looking at our new space. The structure existed, but the renovation required was immense due to decades of age and little upkeep. I like that as a project, though, because it fits our style and it means we could make something new again with minimal impact on l...

Well, attempting to diagnose it.
Hey everyone! Hope all is going well. We recently pushed the NZXT H510 Flow behind-the-scenes video to you as a Patreon exclusive (fun fact: initially typed "explosive" instead of "exclusive," but maybe that's because I'm about to write about a Gigabyte power supply).
Today, Patrick Stone looks at the...

Hey everyone,
We're actively working on the NZXT H510 Flow now. We weren't aware of its launch until after it came out, so we'll be a little behind the others in our review -- but it's in now, and testing has begun. We got the initial build complete yesterday, and today it's going to start going through thermal benchmarks.
Thus far, ...
2021-09-28 19:00:20 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
This post will be deleted once we get what we need, just to reduce confusion.
You've maybe seen some of the coverage of the Sony PlayStation 5 Digital, with a particular focus on the "new" version ("CFI-1100B01") versus the "original." We would like to evaluate the thermal performance of these two units ...

Hey everyone!
Another behind-the-scenes for you: We'll probably publish the full (public) review later this week, but you get an early and different look at it. In this one, Patrick Stone will be walking you through some of the initial information on the AresGame PSU that we're reviewing. It's one of the best-selling Amazon power supplies,...

This is just a quick BTS video with Patrick Lathan talking about the Fractal Torrent. Our review is rendering right now and will be up soon. Definitely watch it when it's up, but this will give you some of his thoughts!

Hey everyone,
Here's a behind-the-scenes video for you! Shot this one with Patrick Stone on the team. He walks through some of the PSU testing corner, tools we have, and other stuff that I recently brought in from storage.
We shot two other BTS videos yesterday. Those will be cut together quickly next week and posted soon.

Hey everyone,
We've decided to not only run a part 2 to our old RAM timings series, but just straight-up overhaul the first part altogether. Andrew has done some crazy work. He basically built RAM inside of Unreal Engine, to the extent that we can accurately calculate timings in ways that represent reality. It's not hard-baked animations, ...

I think I have a way to get our Patreon backers some access to some pre-builts at a slightly discounted price, but I'm not sure about it. Please stay with me:
I've always really liked doing "sting operation" reviews of pre-builts -- basically, we show up unannounced in a physical retail store or order from a website to ...

Spoiler alert! The video accompanying this Patreon BTS video isn't live on the main channel yet. It will be over the weekend. We have some content coming up where we've tested a series of popular cables that had concerning specifications and characteristics. We put our PSU testing equipment to use to try and root-out some spe...

New Patrons Ask GN! This one has some really fun questions. I liked answering the one at 05:56 ("toughest job in the DIY PC industry?") a lot. That's something we think about a lot and it's a fun industry topic. Keep the great questions coming. Saw some new ones in Discord very recently and will be working on answering those this week.

Hey everyone,
We're starting to push more Patreon videos right now -- hope that's OK with you all! It's just some extra behind the scenes and Patrons Ask GN content. This one talks about an impressively horrible PS5 aftermarket cooler we bought, our upcoming work on the Corsair 5000D, and dremeling the Arctic Freezer. Enjoy!

This talks about things I consider when trying to make a workplace that is both efficient and comfortable from a human factors perspective; in other words, if putting a shelf in one spot would feel intrusive or crowded, I try to figure out where might be better so that we don't feel like the walls are closing in on us.

I feel like we're finally getting some level of control back after months of nonstop reviews.

First up: We just sent our shipping team the manual shipment requests for the $20 Reward tier dating back to September, so you should be getting a tracking email in the next few days if you've been waiting for one. On the upside, Patreon now has an export CSV function for addresses. Believe it or not, I've been personally gath...

Hi all,
We just bought a very expensive scanner with a NIST-traceable certificate and third-party lab validation for imaging pressure paper to create images that gauge exactly the PSI at a given spot on a heatsink. This will also make it easy for us to create heightmaps and provide an idea for surface flatness, but in actuality, it's techn...
