01:39 – madwolfa: “Maybe this is more appropriate here: How important is the CLC pump speed at all? I've played with it yesterday and the delta is like 1-2C at most (with the pump speed between 50% and 100%). Rad fan speed seemed to impact temps much more.”
06:13 - Vithor Leal: “Hey Steve! Great channel and great unique video content! Keep it up! I have a question for the next #AskGN : Why don't we have hardware that's capable of determining it's own limits for overclocking? Like, why can't motherboards and graphics cards (specially AIB partners') auto-tune themselves to their maximum provided some parameters (like fan speed or CPU/GPU temps and voltages). In an ideal world, you'd plugin any CPU to a compatible socket and the same with a GPU and have a button on UEFI that's labeled: "OC FOR ME". IF this exists already, why isn't more widespread? Thanks! Hope you see this!”
12:48 – madwolfa: “Hi Steve! To disassemble a 1080 Ti Hybrid for a PWM adapter install, is it necessary to remove the backplate, and basically do what you did in the tear down video? Is it possible to just remove the top cover?”
14:42 - Red_M: “@Steve Burke Could you maybe look at doing case round ups? I personally have a HAFX and I'm curious to know what you'd look at in a case, for personal systems”
17:40 - KRIL89: “I asked this last week but probably after you made this video So I think is a good question and prob. would need to ask AMD for this So HBM on my Vega 64 gets pretty hot, i've seen it get up around 85c. What is a safe temperature for it run at for an extended period of time? I also seem to have a but when I overclock the memory and under clock the card (for mining when I'm not gaming) in that I lose fan control and it part of the reason it over heats.”
19:02 – Eidelweiss: “At what point do you saturate a custom water loop? I read some stuff that beyond a certain amount of rad space for your parts, extra radiator space isn't going to do jack squat for you. What determines that limit?”
