700This episode of Ask GN (episode 20!) addresses the high-end of Polaris 10/11, RX 490 & RX 480, UEFI vs. Legacy, and liquid cooler lifespan.
Questions:
0:35 - Dohn Joe: "hey, steve. amd said in their rx 480 presentation that polaris 10/11 will feature cards with the price range of 100-300 dollars. since the rx 480 is 199-229 dollars, do you think the 300 dollar card is the 490? do you think it can challenge the gtx 1070? or could it (possibly) be better? thanks in advance and more power to GN!?"
2:50 - CharlieWafles BR: "Not sure if this has been asked before, but how likely are these closed loop Corsair watercoolers to leak? What's their average lifespan??"
05:55 - Siborg1994: "How accurate is pcpartpicker's watt amount on apart list? how close to the watt amount can I get a way with??"
09:10 Nacho Chips: "Question : I'm looking to buy a cpu cooler and ditch my stock intel cooler. I want to test the temps on stock then the aftermarket cooler, which stress test program do you suggest? Thanks!?"
10:31 - Colton Parker: "Can you explain UEFI and legacy. I installed a new HDD in my system and there was a problem with it so I went on to forums and a bunch of people said disable or enable UEFI and LEGACY or just use on or the other. Can you please explain the difference between the two and what they do??"
13:09 - DevTheBigManUno: "You kept flashing that big red button, what should I have done with it again??"
