Behind-the-Scenes: PSU & Fan Test Update - Slow Progress

Hi BTS backers,

We have a new behind-the-scenes video updating on progress behind PSU and fan testing. It's slow progress, but it is progress. These nonstop hardware launches are really slowing us down this year, but at the same time propelling us. It is a hard balance between delivering constant reviews and trying to advance new testing procedures.

Behind-the-Scenes: LN2 Pots & Dry Ice

We're showing off our new extreme cooling equipment! This will be useful for current and future high-end desktop CPU benchmarking. We aim to reclaim the OC crown among YouTubers by using some of this gear. The GPU pots are from EK WB, the CPU Beast pot is from Der8auer. Check the video for more information!

Behind-the-Scenes: Supply Drop from Patreon Backers

Hi all,

We filmed this way back in August, I think! It got lost in the shuffle, and only at a recent impromptu Patreon meet-and-greet did we realize it hadn't yet been published. 

First of all, our huge thanks to everyone in our community, especially those supporting us via Patreon. Additional thanks out to those who pitched-in to buy some supplies for the office. We have put every item to good use!

Thank you again,

- Steve

Patrons Ask GN 22: 3-Way NVLink? Solder More RAM onto GPU?

Hi all!

We have another Patrons Ask GN video for you. We also just filmed our behind-the-scenes video and will be editing it shortly. That shows the new test lab overhaul and how much we can get done at once with the office.

In the meantime, here's the new Patrons Ask GN:

Patrons Ask GN 18: Faster Stress Testing? YouTuber Burn-Out?

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!

Patreon BTS: Figuring Out Furniture in the New Office

Hey all,

We're running several days ahead of these vlogs/BTS videos, but wanted to show where we were a few days ago. This is true 'behind-the-scenes,' mostly in that it's very boring and focuses on where all the tables and shelves are going. Can't get much more BTS than that!

Hopefully some of you like it. More interesting stuff coming soon.

Behind-the-Scenes: GN's First Real Office

Hi all!

This is going out only to the Patreon BTS tier.

You're getting a first-look at our new office. We are working toward moving into this new office and making it our home. GN has never operated out of a 'real' office before, so this is a big move -- but a necessary one. At this point, it is required to keep operating at the pace we have been. We've physically been bumping into each other while working over the last 8-12 months, and we're simply out of room. It has slowed down testin...

Patrons Ask GN 16: Getting Into the Industry, Podcast Requests

Hey all,

I'm still traveling, though the rest of the team is at home base. I'll have an update for you all soon re: an office move-in.

This Patrons Ask GN was filmed prior to LTX. We have some behind-the-scenes videos for the $5 tier that will go live soon also, probably once we're home. Filmed some stuff at Whistler and LTX that might be worth pushing for Patreon.

BTS: Akihabara Walk-Through in Tokyo, Japan

Finally! We're back to making behind-the-scenes videos. This one might go public at some point, just because it's really cool and we want to share it, but we're not sure. Either way, you're seeing it first in the $5 tier. We're filming another BTS video this week, and hope to upload it this weekend. That one will likely do with testing and hardware.

For this one, we show some parts of our trip to Japan, where we mostly messed around in Akihabara. The trouble with many of these shops is that ou...

Thanks for your patience with us over the past month! It's been a lot of travel -- and there's more coming up. Some of it is for LTX in July, so if you're going to Linus' event, I'll be there. Anyway, we have some BTS videos shot and going live in the next few days. For now, here's the next Patrons Ask GN! Timestamps are below:

We've Been Busy - Quick Update

Hi all,

We're pretty good about Patreon updates, but doing anything while on the road is hard. We've been in Asia for just over two weeks now, and will be returning home in about 24 hours. The trip home will take 24 more hours.

Patrons Ask GN 12: Cooling Multiple GPUs, Titan Pricing

Hi all!

Please excuse the brevity for the text on this one. We're currently traveling, and I'm going to lose access to YT once we're in the air -- the airlines have all decided to block it, annoyingly, even though they used to allow creator studio access.

Anyway, we might film another while in Asia. Most likely, we'll just do some cool digital marketplace ...

We worked with industry engineers to build our own fan testing devices.

Timelapse: Cleaning the set room ft. Andrew

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nmx-j7FOhJE

If you skip this one, you're not missing much -- but we spent about an hour tidying-up the set room. It doesn't mean much if you don't live it every day, but for us, this cleaning process afforded us a huge amount of extra space to move. Doing something as simple as managing cables and getting them off the floor has given us extra room to move the tripods another ~4" ...

GN Tool Wall!

Hey all,

We are building a GN tool wall for our tear-down set overhaul! Previously, this wall was light green and had a shelf on it. The shelf caused many head-bonks and was generally useless, and I always had to squeeze between the table, shelf, and lights, then walk around the camera (and back) if I wanted a tool off the other wall. It could sometimes take about a minute to do, which is an awfully long time to traverse about 10 linear feet -- but is also the side effect of working in a video...

There's not a ton of content in this video. Fair warning. We were just having fun setting up all the uninterruptible power supplies and backup batteries to film our O11 Dynamic review. It's a true behind-the-scenes in that you're basically seeing live setup of the video set. Except we didn't have power.
