This 3-part video series shows you the construction of our hemi-anechoic sound chamber, including technical discussion with David Engdall from Viking Enterprises, Inc (the company assembling the chamber). We've already deployed this chamber for our Fractal Terra review with our upcoming ITX reviews we're excited to launch and we've done testing with the ASUS ROG Ally for our benchmarks. It's an exciting time and we're thrilled to already put this to work, especially because noise testing was the one aspect slowing us down on fan review progress. The second part will show validation and results of the chamber and the third will show exterior setup. Check back soon for the first use!

If I put my X-wife in a Hemi-Anechoic Chamber, will I still hear her?!?! 🤔 😳
cant wait for the sound chamber.
@@SkullHandy Gigabyte chamber lol
Nice project! One thing though, when I look at those bearings you are using on that heavy door I am getting flashbacks. I hope those set screws are secured well on that shaft and you used a support spacer in the bottom. That door is pretty heavy, if it ever were to start creeping down, it could be a pain in the butt to fix and potential trap hazard.
GN may have one of the quietest sound chambers in the world now, but it’s still not as quiet as the advertising for the 16 GB 4060 Ti.
Holy shit....
The 16GB 4060 Ti launch was like a noiseless but rank fart, silent but highly unpleasant at 500＄.
Good one!
@@shanent5793ok
@@shanent5793 There is plenty profit. Yeah they only making 3 to 4 times the cost to make rather than the usual 5 to 6 times the cost.
Only Steve could find a tradesman as nerdy or nerdier than himself. Excellent video.
Love it 😂
AND with super nice thick hair like Steve's.
I grinned ear to ear at the chamfered edges.
Man is passionate about his work. Very impressive.
I remember when you were so happy with the wooden background wall in the bedroom studio. I think you and your dad made that? Man... I think he'd be so proud of how far you and GN have come. 💙
Thank you. I made that shortly after he passed away - it was my first big step to committing to GN. I was so excited about that wall. Thanks for reminding me of that.
@@GamersNexusaww❤️
Well that just gave me the feels for the day….I’m not crying you’re crying. Great job!
Lmao. Even putting the amount of money on the thumbnail to scam these clown viewers, the views are still so puny. That's this clown with long hair who needs to make videos about his father Linus.@@GamersNexus
@@GamersNexusthat’s beautiful, Sir. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us, and my condolences for your loss.
I specialize in Acoustic and Seismic systems for commercial fitouts, and I have to say that Dave really knows his craft and is really passionate about it! Our company owns a chamber in New Zealand, and I can attest to this one being an incredibly high-end build. I particularly appreciate the fact that Steve and the GN team stand by a high standard of ethics and are willing to invest in giving us consumers the most accurate and informative information they can. I have really noticed this in the content I have watched from these guys over the many years and you can see that level of detail is top-notch even if you only had this video to judge by.
Big thanks to Dave for this lmao, not everyone is happy to stand infront of a camera and do a full breakdown like this. He did amazing at explaining advanced parts of the chamber in such a way even my smoothbrain could understand.
Would be cool to have a "person in the industry" interview. I mean this is almost it.
An in-depth interview would be really great. Like a follow up to the Logitech Video. I also watched the LTT video and somehow I get this feeling that he is that kind of guy who builds these things more on an empirical basis. No offense, but the explanations are rather shallow and some things are off.
Like on one hand you go the extra mile to install the spring dampeners beneath the room, but on the other hand you have those weird wedges that just look like a complete upsell.
The metal casing already lowers the upper frequency cut-off, but they also don't look the size for lower frequencies. Those are like 1.5 ft? I can see a 300 hz lower cut-off, but 150 hz in a scientific environment sounds unreasonable. Also I hope he doesn't mean his own absorbers have full transparency up to 10khz, because that would make them kinda unusable. (The reason there were so many studies on porous absobers was because you can't sell non-covered ones. They look ugly as hell. Many acoustic researchers were also architecture / music guys and so the interior of an opera house also needed to look the part.)
Don't get me wrong, it doesn't have to be perfect. Afterall it's for consumer electronics. But I'm getting mixed messages here which would normally be a red flag.
Or the Hemi- / Semi-anechoic chamber thing. You don't choose it to represent a real environment, you do because it's cheaper and a car won't break the floor. You can't represent a real environment, because it would have to be standardized. But if you go there you'd also have to cover the light bulb, and the microphone stand (The stand. It's such a terrible task, especially on a 3D microphone array, fml).
I'm sorry, I don't mean to bash him in any kind of way and I'm sure GN will do some measurments to verify everything, but there are just so many small things and he starts a topic, but doesn't follow up. It irks a bit.
@@dakai4992 They are around 2ft wedges, so you're already super wrong. They're 150hz cutoff. I don't know why you're guessing and then writing all this based on a guess when we already said we had a third-party validate it and proved it to be 150hz cutoff. Also, the metal wedges are good because they aren't CANCEROUS like a lot of the foam wedges (with spray coating fire retardant) that decompose over a period of 7 years, whereas ours last forever.
@@dakai4992 get dunked on son
@@dakai4992did... did you even watch the video? LMAO.
Steve is the last guy I expected to ask "Why Metal?"
hahaha
\m/
hahaha :D
stamp?
Long hair might mean Metalica but it also might mean Kenny G or Weird Al.
The one thing i love about steve is he really helps his guests shine and speak to their skills through questioning. Interview 101 i guess but its a skill alot of people fail at.
Reminder: This is a CZcams channel.
This is absolutely incredible. Even TechTV didn't come close to the work GN does back in the day. I am completely in awe. Amazing build. Keep up the incredible work!
Holy crap. I can’t believe you’ve done that. I work at a place with a few hemi-anechoic chambers, and they are insanely complex and expensive to get right. I hope yours works well for you!
That's awesome that you have them at work! What category of testing? Consumer parts?
@@GamersNexushearing protectors!
@@FuncleChuckTesting the sound of silence :D
@@FuncleChuck oo that is important
@@FuncleChuck Ah yes, the thing I wish I had used sooner, being around loud jets and metal concerts left me with some eeeeeeeee that I regret.
Glad to see the independent review space becoming more professional! Love your content guys
I can't tell if they were throwing shade at LTT's sound chamber by saying GN is the first ones to do it "right" lol, or maybe they are unaware that LTT has one idk
@@pcmasterracetechgod5660 Oh I think they were throwing some shade there LOL
@@pcmasterracetechgod5660 They've been refusing to aknowledge LTT's existence for a while now, I don't think it's shade, they just pretend LMG doesn't exist. I think Steve has an issue. (Also, technically, LMG doesn't yet have an up and running chamber, they have the EMC chamber.)
Isn't the LTT chamber for RF, and GNs is acoustic??
@@Galf506 They don't refuse to acknowledge LTT's existence lol he's commented on it numerous times and seemingly throws subtle shade occasionally but ultimately Steve has planned on doing things like this for years and he's not going to just make videos about it for drama/views. Both sides understand there will be competition and the consumers will benefit from both outlets building out their facilities.
I've been viewing your channel for several years now. The level of detail,involvement and fascination of electronics are way beyond what most channels offer. Many thanks for all the reviews that have helped me in my pc related purchases over the years. So rather than buy from the store and pay alot of shipping and taxes to get things shipped overseas i might aswell support you this way. Keep up the great work and thanks again to the whole team.
Thank you so much for the donation! We are grateful to have your support in this way!
Steve lives in a basement and survives on bread and water to save money for projects like these, just so he can tell us which $7 case fan is slightly quieter. He truly is Tech Jesus.
HE bled for the manufacturer's sins. All praise tech Jesus!
Turning water into fan whine, truly blessing us.
@@TonkarzOfSolSystem Underrated comment.
Not that far from the truth lol
No... he is an absolute idiot, with no common sense.
You know someone really really trusts in their work when they're willing to go on camera and show you step by step the ins and outs of an entire build from start to finish! Great work guys it was really interesting to watch this all come together
OR a corner on the market one doesn't have to worry
@@mrmotofy Err...that makes basically no sense.
Do you think Viking has a monopoly?
looks like its time to donating more. I need to see more of this
More on the way!
Idk I think we've given them enough money. We as a community could have bought THREE Nvidia gaming GPUs, and with LTTs multi gamer videos SIX people could have enjoyed gaming on them! Think of the loss to the community!

@@ThatKoukiZ31 bad take
@@GamersNexusman I was hoping Linus will give you guys a solid and use there techlab instead...
@@jordanjohn3360 r/whoooooosh
i love you how you guys feature so many intelligent, interesting, and passionate people who make stuff possible behind the scenes on your channel. steve is such a good listener, he allows the expert to feel just as excited as he is about the project. Dave's passion glows in this video, its awesome.
thank you gamersnexus for being cool through and through. cant wait to see the new testing results in the chamber !
If your builder can communicate difficult design concepts as clearly as Dave does. says everything. Amazing work!
Its amazing what you've accomplished, Steve and GN crew! It really doesn't seem like too long ago i was watching the original office vlog, moving GN out of your house! Inspirational to anyone looking to turn their enthusiasm into a flourishing career.
It still feels like yesterday to me. I used to film in the corner of a bedroom and have to drag the lights and tripods in blocking the door to even shoot a clip. We've grown a lot -- thank you for being there for so much of the journey!
Hahahaha I *still* think of that clip of Steve going through the door of the new (now old!) office and saying "FIRST! FIRST! I WAS FIRST!" whenever I find losers on the internet commenting it
(also I forget what video it was from, but also the clip where Steve sarcastically says "HE SAID NUT!" now pops into my head whenever anyone says nut. Thanks Steve!)
@@mjc0961 the moment i hit the sub button is when, at the end of one of the moving vlogs, the guys did a high speed time-lapse of the moving process, overdubbed with AoE2 villager building sounds. I knew this channel was right up my alley :D
"I'll probably skip through this..." - watched the whole thing. Really, really interesting. Looooved how Dave clearly knew his stuff, obviously passionate about his work - this was super fun to watch! Congratulations to GN for taking this huge step too :)
I thought it was going to be background viewing with minimal attention while I gamed. I was wrong. This is fascinating!
I am almost 40 years old and am not excited easily. But when I heard Mike Chin's name that I used to read back in '04 (trying to tame my P4 prescott) and the anechoic chamber I couldnt help but get a big smile on my face. Imho, when you consult people like Aris and Mike, I know that the result will be the best out there.
PS Potential content: There was a study like 10 or more years ago about the effects of various fan grills and how they affect the noise profile of a fan. I would like to see a roundup that would validate different manufacturer's case grill shapes and how they compare (bet that Fractals "logo cut out" will be the worse)
Finally a place in house to sit in and go insane at your own accord, without influence of conflicting companies.
I really like how Gamers Nexus channel highlights people in the Tech industry that I never heard of. Example, overclockers like Der Bauer, Bearded Hardware, Buildzoid, etc.
I feel that GN always focuses on the consumer towards an informed community…while other tech channels seem to focus on their flashy gimmicks to stand out.
Thank you Gamers Nexus! I always appreciate the highly informative content in our tech industry.
Btw I miss Snowflake.
I'm so glad to see PC/tech youtubers setting up their own testing chambers/labs. can't wait to see the results from you guys and LTT.
Your vlogs are always amazing, you ask great questions to lead your expert into a topic and then give them room to speak and just clarify anything at the end. Great interview style and despite knowing nothing about this industry, the passion and expertise shines through.
I enjoyed that someone as knowledgeable and chill as Dave was willing to be on camera and talk us through the build from his professional pov that was awesome.
I'm expecting 24 videos a week from this said chamber.
Dude the flooring is the exact same in my kitchen lol. Looking good! Glad you guys found a great contractor who's willing to explain everything the way he did. Hes clearly passionate about it and veey knowledgeable
Could I ask what LVT flooring this is, haha? It's super sharp. Amazing video as always!
@AhzekAhriman7508 Sure! When I get home in about an hour I'll see what the box says. Only thing is I think it's one of those brands only contractors can get but I'll still let you know
What an incredible job. Dave is clearly very knowledgeable and it shows here. The attention to detail is absurd and the ease at which Dave explains every facet of this build is just fascinating.
In 1979 when I worked in the anechoic chamber at Hughes Aircraft it was so quiet I could hear the blood circulating in my head. It is a very strange sensation.
I hope you get lots of great use from your chamber.
Nice channel, you are an OG, respect
Steve, be honest. You just wanted a place where you could listen to all those death metal bands with full volume and perfect quality :P
To Dave/Viking: truly innovative, and amazing! To Steve/ GN: You guys are something else! Thank You ever so!
I love these videos, whether from GN, LMG, or, in the future, maybe other reviewers. It is insightful into what it takes to make good products, shows incredible science, engineering, and technology we would rarely get to see otherwise, and shows why it exists and how to use it. This is an incredible step, and I'm excited.
i think in future LMG labs will have the largest resource for data point from the 2020s and GN the most detailed in certain categories... tho I do wonder if YT will ever survive long term... maybe someday we will have a federated video site...
Honestly that work is immaculate, this is probably one of the most interesting episodes I've seen in a while.
These guys should do their own CZcams, it'd be rad to see the different applications for this stuff, learn more about the tech and the people they work with.
This makes me wish even more that GN would bring their expertise and attention to detail into the Audiophile segment
Yes, I want to see how gold plating helps optical cables.
Congratualtions to two million subscribers. Thank you for your continued effort to raise the bar - and most important in these days, to do it properly. Since some other tech outlets enjoy stumpling upon their own feet these times it's more important than ever to have institutions like Gamers Nexus. Good luck and to many more years of high quality testing.
Very impressed by your silencer. It's "easy" to soundproof a room if it's 100% hermetic, but allowing air inside means allowing sound in/out. When building my small vocal booth room, airflow was a huge headache for me. Your team really adressed this wonderfully, very impressive solution!
When I tell people you guys are the best independent tech media outlet this is the kind of thing I mean. Literally my only problem with you guys is there aren't enough of you to possibly output all of the hardware reviews and information that I'd like out of you- because it's all so good and personally valuable to me. In fact I am *literally* using GN's content *right now,* it is actually on my other screen as I type to help me with research for my next PC build which is deep into the planning stages and which has been *highly* influenced by the work GN has done.
I spent 6 months as a helper for the trades when I was 19. I love seeing a master do his thing. There’s a million little tricks that separate them from the second best guy.
Hiring a contractor that specializes in constructing these types of things was likely a better call than ordering the parts from an overseas supplier and trying to assemble it themselves (re: LTT and their first attempt at an EMC chamber).
@@rullehLinus kept saying he wanted to be the gold standard for testing products, but then did a bunch of janky stuff. He's an entertainer at this point and seems that he prioritized quantity over quality and forgot why he started LMG to begin with. I believe this happened when he made the "I might retire" video. Everything after that video seems to have started going downhill in terms of quality, not immediately, but slowly.
@@theviralusername Truth. 10 Million dollars spent just to get inaccurate results due to user error. The sad part is the LMG really did spend milions on that lab, which leads me to believe they actually believe their own jargon about being the gold standard. It's time they get serious about having integrity. Without that, they have nothing.
I work in special Hazards fire protection. I've been in a lot of unique places, including anechoic chambers over 400,000 cubic feet in volume. I would kill to get to work with someone like Dave. I can't state enough how inspiring it is to see someone who really understands and cares about what they are doing. Unfortunately a lot of our mechanical and electrical work gets subbed out to folks who couldn't care less. It costs a lot of time and money, and never works as well.
1:40 So you've kept the existence of your Sound Chamber...quiet.
As a Sound Engineer myself, it filled me with joy to watch this video and hear Dave explaining the concepts of these rooms.
Looking forward to what and how you guys will be using the room. When I first started watching the video, I was questioning what you would possibly use it for as all I can think of would be very high effort. Then again, most things you guys do is very high effort.
Really like the colour-scheme of the wedgie-room 🇫🇮
Excited to see content that benefits from this investment! GN really going all out, wishing you all the best! ’Even a blind person could see’ the passion going into the project.
Oh and felt like Steve met his match, Dave being like Steve’s builder-cousin, explaining things beyond thoroughly, not leaving the smallest detail unmentioned.
Dave SERIOUSLY sounds like he knows what he's doing. Amazing build, and it's good looking to boot.
Patiently waiting for part 2 of this documentary.
Dave explained everything so well, this was a joy to watch. Thanks Steve and everyone at GN.
Steve you are highly regarded. I am relatively new to the channel and will support your updates. Congrats on the growth!
Dave is a master of his craft and his attention to detail really shows.
I am astonished. I remember you guys talking about building a chamber like this when you first moved in to this building, but I didn't think it would be so soon.
I had a feeling that you guys wanted to have a setup like this at some point in the future, but damn I did not imagine it would be here so soon! You guys are becoming the only tech channel worth watching at this point.
LTT Labs has one and much more
@@BugattiBoy01LTT has more equipment but they don't know how to use it accurately 😂

This bloke seems real happy to talk about his job and explain all the little bits that go into his work that he takes pride in. If not for the entertainment value and the fact we will see some good content from this, it was worth watching just for that. Good job Steve.
After watching the whole video, it really shows what made me love your channel from the beginning. YOU CARE, you really love what you do and you're good to people. My Dad was a handyman but everything he did, his attention to detail was second to none. He was like you and Dave, my Dad would always do things the right way. Even if it meant we lost some or money, or walked away from a job. This was heart warming, and I never regretted taking your case recommendation for my PC years ago.
That was super intresting! Dave clearly knows what he's is doing and the finished chamber looks amazing. I'm glad that GN is continuing to expand their capabilities!
Thats amazing. Its nice to see that LTT isnt only one who is trying to get profesional testing equipment.
Difference is Gamers Nexus team actually will make good use of this testing equipment while LTT will flounder like a joke
LTT kinda crap now 😢
Yeah except LTT buys professional testing equipment only to make joke videos that don't help anyone.
LTT did it for views not to actually help get better info for customers like us. Plus screw LLT, it was founded by a man who shits on capitalism while benefiting massively from it, hypocrites are the worst and lowest kind of people.
Professional equipment requires a professional operator. GN>LTT 😂
Tech reviews, top end gear AND spotless ethics. Way to go, GN team!
man you can really see that dave has a passion for what he does! he absolutely lights up talking about all of the attention to detail in the work him and his team do and thats so satisfying to see. I'm a welder/fabricator myself and i love all of the fab work that you guys do with these chambers. killer video this was
gn's team is what ltt team wishes it could be.
Damn thats a impressive setup! Really cool to see you go so many extra steps to get your testing miles beyond everyone else
I was smiling throughout the whole video, thank you for sharing this with us all. I truly love specialists that put in the work and Dave showed off that he knows what he is doing and loves what he does.
This was great. Love to see skilled workman who are passionate about what they do. Can't wait to see the testing that comes out of this!
cool to see a skilled tradesman explain something just as well as he built it impressive
Great to see professionals talk about it!
As an amateur audio engineer, this was eye and physics candy for me. I loved every aspect of this and am greatly looking forward to the following videos
Super wholesome and super interesting! Really glad Dave was happy to talk about the project on camera and GN made such an a fascinating video covering it!
If I had 1/10th of this man's sequential critical thinking capabilities, I'd be a happy clam. The videos and work by Steve and all of GN have only improved in quality and depth over time, thank you!
Worked in post production for years I can tell just by the audio from this video, I think you made a good choice in this solution.
I love this huge step that GN and LTT, as well as other tech-tubers, are taking to help out the community/consumer! After all, the larger corporations like to exaggerate their specs and numbers, and there’s really no other way for us normal people to know any better. Thanks again Steve and crew!
Congratulations! Looking forward to the testing and reviews with the same level of integrity and professionalism you all have worked hard to establish.
I've been supporting you guys on Patreon for a while now, and I've never been happier about it! You really are in a class all your own.
Thats a lot of mod mats & shirts!😲 for real tho i love seeing the growth just as much as i love the mod mats & shirts over the years! Here's to the future of GN👏❤
That this channel has "only" 2 million subs, while Auction Off For Charity has 15 million, is beyond me.
it is simple people prefer entertainment then being correct
very cool!!! so glad you and linus are doing these massive lab projects to independently review and hold companies accountable and better educate consumers!!!!!
Great video! The attention of detail and professionalism, Dave was amazing at explaining literally everything he was doing and at that all off the top of his head. This is why we watch GN!, it shows when people put their name into their work and are truly passionate about what they do. A true match of character between contractor and customer.
I bought 2 t shirts, only to support your great content. You are awesome, thanks mate
This is incredible watching the story arc where Gamers Nexus becomes the gold standard for testing and reviewing computer tech
You can't be a gold standard for ANYTHING as long as you do comparisons using a single sample CPU/GPU. Everything else is just posturing.
@@gabrielhmi You should spend some time working in the equipment testing subfield of engineering. You would learn a lot.
@@TROPtastic I've taught in that field. The first thing you learn is that N=1 is either a joke or a scam. GN routinely interpret différences between parts which end up way within 2 sigma.
But that's fine, you can always says "silicon lottery, something something".
HELL yeah guys! I've been working with anechoic chambers for like 9 years now. Currently my office has one made by Eckel/Viking. It's super cool getting a rundown of the construction for one of the senior guys. Killer content.
I love Dave, really passionated with his work!
Having been a part of sound proof rooms for dubbing carried out by Disney, this is awesome! So many levels built into the room is amazing
I absolutely love that fact that media outlets like GN and LTT are getting this kinds of high end testing and validation equipment. It really gives me a lot of confidence for the future of their channels.
ltt is garbage, should just move to yt shorts and tiktoks already
I feel like LTT like to talk about stuff, but doens't deliver on anything.
@@jeremy6844 Why? Because Labs is taking a while to get going?
If you look underneath any Labs Update video, you'll find people with experience in the field surprised at how quickly LTT is building out their testing facilities.
edit: Also, they're already delivering on the testing automation. Every GPU test has fresh data now. No other outlet does that, even big written media.
@@jeremy6844 LTT sold out years ago and he became what he despised. A corporate shill 😂
@@edzymods Jesus! I didn't know Linus sold out. I don't want to support corporate shills. Can you explain some more?
I love the wholesomeness amongst y'all, this content is not just technical but very human. We sometimes skip over that in the ease of consuming all the data and information, but to give appreciation and hospitality, that's exactly that attention to detail that gives us all confidence!
Its just simply amazing that we are at a point where independent reviewers have enough support to purchase things that even large manufacturers need to think long and hard about purchasing.
It also really cant be understated how much GN testing keeps the industry honest, the industry went on the assumption that the end user does not have the means to verify their claims for way too long.
Between GN and LTT Labs, I'm excited about the new consumer-focused tech testing.
Lol I literally just made this comment too
Well. GN is really pathetic compered to LTT. As always
@@drefk1973 well that was a really awful thing to say. Someone doesn't comprehend scale. They are different independent outlets with completely different scales and levels of complexity. And that's actually a good thing.
You want a better consumer landscape? Cause having multiple independent outlets of different sizes testing the same stuff is how you get a better consumer landscape.
@@AyyyGabagool Nothing you said changes the fact that GN < LTT
@@drefk1973 one isn't supposed to be better than the other. They are supposed to coexist in the same ecosystem as mutual entities, working in symbiosis to empower you as the consumer. Sure, you can have your stupid, uninformed opinion about which outlet you "prefer", but that doesn't change the fact that you and your brand-loyalist opinions are just objectively irrelevant to any of what LTT or GN do.
In other words, you my friend have just committed the cardinal sin of posting CRINGE. Your sentence is one week off the internet. Better see you making some friends and touching grass instead of posting ignorant takes that make you look like a sniveling 14 year old in CZcams comment sections. Run along now.
I love that both GN and LTT are getting into building their own testing chambers, and are so far specializing in different directions. While I feel they should eventually overlap to keep each other on their toes, keeping separate focuses at first is best. As an audiofile, I love this.
Side note: the other is doing cell and wifi testing chamber.
It’s great, but only one of them has gone out of their way to discredit the testing methodology of the other. That began about a year ago when the other tech reviewer revealed they would be testing power supplies as well.
@@MrV1NC3N7V3G4I think both have gone out of their way to discredit each other, LTT in the labs tour video and GN in the last few days
@@simon5735 One snarky LTT employee saying one thing in the LABS tour is nothing like the direct assault GN did with a full video
Did you miss the part about him selling the prototype of a tiny company without their permission
@@sdfxcvblank5756 Shit happens. Do you really think he needed the money? It was an honest mistake brought about by an overworked staff admittedly.
as someone who's worked on a radio station as a producer/technician/dj/host I must say I'm impressed. we actually moved to a new office during my time there and did a lot of soundproofing ourselves in the off hours on a daily basis. because the space we moved to wasn't a radio station/studio for live broadcasts ready at all. this video warmed my heart so I thank you Steve from the very bottom of it
Imagine being SO GOOD at something that Steve just shuts up...
This guy sounds like he knows what he's talking about!
As a long time reader of SPCR (back when it was still owned by Mike Chin)... I'm so hyped to see Gamers Nexus and LTT actually getting serious about acoustic testing!!!
I'm planning my next big computer build in a year or two, and here's hoping I'll be able to base my choice of the GPU on GN's testing results.
It's awesome you guys will have this along with LTT, great way to validate each other's results for this high precision level of testing
The LTT chamber is for RF frequencies. This is for audible frequencies.
@mattmanyam LTT has two Chambers, one for RF and one for audio
@@Alucard-gt1zf I didn't see that. Do you have a link? (I did a brief search on CZcams, that came up empty... "Linus Tech Tips acoustic chamber")
@@mattmanyam czcams.com/video/d8bZCve_ZKA/video.html
@@mattmanyam they don't have one built yet afaik
This video made me want to join the channel and give this group three dollars a month.
NO ONE ELSE IS DOING THIS SHIT!
Well deserved, I cant wait for part 2 and to see the results.
Thank you for your amazing commitment to give proper data to your viewers, this team is a treasure.
I love to hear people, specifically knowledgeable people, Spit some knowledge. Dave sure seems to know his stuff and even better seems like a good dude. I hope you guys enjoy the fancy chamber. 250k Geez guees I need to hit up the store again soon. appreciate you guys going the extra MileS!
For those who made this video into their basis of "GN attacks LMG because they want their lab to be the numero uno" or the other way around...that's not how the community works.
The PC building community relies on information based on empirical testing, valid data, and good testing method to make informed decisions. This means that the more members who can provide data, the better the community will be. Obtaining some data may be difficult, if not outright impossible, for any single individual to achieve, purely because of the complexity and cost of the methods involved. So having sources like GN and LTT come up with very expensive, highly intricate labs, even when they serve the same function, is a actually boon. Losing the opportunity to get data from either one is a loss in opportunity to cross reference testing methods and results.
Steve and crew, you guys absolutely 100% picked the right guy (and company) to do this work. Everything he's saying is absolutely 100% factually correct!! It's GREAT to hear a contractor (and he's really an acoustic specialist) speak the way he is, he knows his shit. I was curious how he was planning on handling air control and between the work you guys did in the hard duct, which is perfect, and his soft line, it's going to be amazing!! Great job man, 250k is a LOT OF MONEY.. You did it right!
This was a treat thanks to everyone involved, Dave was just a gem of a man and very knowledgeable round of applause great job.
I love this semi silent competition between GN and LMG to build these crazy testing facilities. Independant testing of consumer products is all we have to keep big corpos from going to the dark side, to know when they do and hold them accountable. No amount of online reviews can match that value and I'm glad to see 2 of the most recognizable names in tech media stepping up. Sure, theyll make money for their content, but there is easier cheaper content out there that makes more money, and these people chose to do this, and i applaud it whole heartedly.
Thanks for letting us witness how you guys are on the way to cutting edge Technology to review stuff "we buy"
meanwhile linus "i don't want to spend $100 retesting"
I'm so thankful for Gamers Nexus to show us this and also very thankful to Viking Enterprises for their amazing and dedicated work to build this. Such level of detail and attention to everything both function and form is very inspiring. Great work all around!
It's so fucking cool getting to have the whole process and tech explained by someone who knows his shit so well like that builder. Props to him for being chill on camera
Thanks Steve, GN has defined the bar for hardware analysis and testing. This is awesome, thanks for dropping a video this morning, I'm about to watch while I work on some code :)
Probably the coolest thing GN has ever done for itself! Super awesome!
Steve, I'm always amazed to see the extent you go to just to ensure you can bring the best reviews possible. It has been great to watch you and the team grow and improve over the years.
What an incredibly knowledgable guy! Awesome to see everything come together while he's explaining everything.
