    All valid points. But regarding the measurements, neither LTT or GN testing methodology are realy scientific. Those are youtubers with limited understanding of experimental design and analysis. I have never seen them do simple significance tests or try to explain the variability in the data. But I havent watched all the videos so 乁⁠(⁠ ⁠•⁠_⁠•⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ

      For the variability point, they do tests in as a controlled environment as they could, and do the tests until they get consistent data. But what do you mean by significance test and how can they do it?

      I agree they’re not the gold standard but they’re the best we got in terms of independent third party testers, and I would assume they’re more than good enough for tech stuff.

      Idk why they don’t just run the test 3 times and average the result.

      It would fix a lot of these issues… If you are testing a cooler, remove, clean CPU, reapply thermal compound and reseat cooler.

      It’s really not that hard to make their testing, maybe not perfect, but a lot better

      I’m not really sure if you ever watched a GN video, but he throws facts at you at a rate which no one else i know does.

      He knows his stuff and is always open to learn new things.
