What’s the Benefit of Trade Shows?

00:25 - thag1ngan1nja: “#askgn-questions What's the benefit from going to conferences (like Computex)? Is it mostly for pumping out videos and getting ad revenue, are there more opportunities to meet sponsors and fill sponsor spots, or is it mostly out of passion for the hobby? I imagine there's a lot of travel expenses involved, not to mention time away from other projects costing money, yet almost all of the larger (and some smaller) tech YouTubers go to the big conferences so there must be some profit to be made.”

How Much Scripting Do You Do?

03:16 – QuByte: “How much of your video content is pre-scripted? Particularly in things like Ask GN, you will occasionally stop mid sentence and correct yourself or something similar, not a bad thing, was just wondering what content is scripted if any, and if there is a script, how closely it is followed, thanks!”

Is Radiator Thickness Important?

04:37 – cerealkeller: “I have a ? for you guys, how important is radiator thickness? You have the general surface area of your average radiator, for example 240mm, 280mm etc. But from what I've seen the average thickness of your average CLC rads and some cheaper open loop rads are usually 25mm in thickness. With higher end examples going as thick as 96mm. I mean, its obvious to say that you should use as thick of a radiator as you can fit as general wisdom. But how much does that thickness really impact thermal efficiency?(edited)”

 To the extent that it doesn’t greatly impede airflow, it is helpful
