TIMESTAMPS:
01:39 - Liquid Metal Pads?

[YT] Benjamin Chung: Have you looked at indium sheets (perforated, micro-springs, or otherwise) as an alternative to liquid metal as a TIM? They claim to provide better W/mK figures compared to liquid metal while avoiding having any gallium.

06:41 - Overclocking video card mods? (Ft. Bearded Hardware)

[YT] Eudis Taveras: Questions for ExtremeOC'ers: When trying to go for crazy high OCs on GPUs do you perform PCB modification often? Like replace smds, caps, or add additional power stages or do you just stick to GPUs like Kingpins or Hall of Fame cards. Also, when you do modify the gpus what do you often try to fix? Power limits? Some weird stability issues? More Extreme OC limits?Lastly, what's the coolest or craziest mod you have done?

13:18 - Bypassing NVIDIA’s Voltage Limits

[DISC] dySicle: @Steve Burke is there any way to adjust memory voltage or raise the core voltage limit on rtx cards yet?

14:53 - Transplant a GPU to a Different Board?

[YT] Vikram Krishna Srikumar: Ask GN Question: Out of curiosity, how difficult would it be to harvest a GPU from a Graphic Card PCB, and put it into another PCB with better components. And would it work. For example, taking a higher bin 2080ti from a Founder's Edition card and putting it on a Kingpin PCB (Or something similar on the AMD side).

17:57 - GPU Solder Mod Follow-up Questions

[YT] The Political: Does the king pin editions of GPUs have those safety precautions?

[YT] Ries O: Is this possible to this on other cards, like even AMD cards? Seems like a dumb question, but we all now there is no such thing. Only stupid answer...Or is it more similar tho the reg edits on AMD cards? Sort of... I'm really curious since I still need to open up my Vega 64 Strix, because of the terrible thermal pad placement on many of them.And would it be an idea to use liquid metal on it's GPU if done right?Thx for any kind and helpful comments on this

[YT] BlaPogo La bla: Questions : If the graphics card goes into 2D mode is there a way to reset it ? does it reset on its own if you put the resistior back ? Would placing 2 wires parallel to the shunt resistor onto a breadboard for easy swap shunt resistors help or does the resistance of the wires themselfs become an issue ?

27:37 - Why Don’t Cases Have Side Intake?

[DISC] Amoenus: Why case manufacturers stopped making mounts for a fan in side panel of the case? Would a fan on the side help in any meaningful way with side-mounted GPU's?

29:55 - Who Answers These Questions?

[YT] Jan Cortez: A question for GN: Do you, Steve, answer the "Ask GN" questions by yourself, or do you sit down with the team to make sure you have the whole team's opinion on the question?

32:05 - What’s Should People Visit in Taiwan?

[YT] vinz be: I'll visit Taiwan next month. Anything worth visiting in Taipei from an IT perspective (shops, factory tours)?

34:18 - Herculean Phone Toss?

[YT] jakob Findlay: Was that phone broken before he through it?
