3:09 spork8655: Hey Steve! I understand there's no way of knowing this for sure, but how long do you estimate Sandy Bridge CPUs like the 3960x / 3930k / 2700k / 2600k will be relevant in high-end gaming PCs? I have a 3930k CPU paired with a gtx1080 and it runs almost all games really well, but I keep wondering how long my CPU will keep up.

You have the best tech channel on youtube, and I will continue to recommend it to anybody interested.?

06:42 VeryRealAmericans: Hi Gamers Nexus! Love the channel! Quick question, I am upgrading from my 2600k to a 6700k. This means I need to get a new MOBO. Am i good just plugging in my old SSD with all my stuff on it to my new motherboard and boot into the same OS or do i need to do a complete new install?

Thank you and looking forward to many more videos from you guys!?

09:42 Oberscht: Do you know what's an acceptable max temperature for VRMs??

11:34 BigMan7o0: i have a possibly dumb question. what is the highest temp (celcius) that you would want your cpu to run when under 100% load??

14:12 Tallmios: CPU cooler orientation: Is horizontal (parallel with GPU) worse for thermals than the usual vertical positioning?
I have case fans both at the top and the back.?
