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
Hardware unboxed does this if I remember correctly
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.
