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!

    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.
  • @lorddwar
    Only Steve could find a tradesman as nerdy or nerdier than himself. Excellent video.
  • @BRUXXUS
    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. 💙
  • @karpreece
    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.
  • @kanlegi8177
    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.
  • @Rance53
    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.
  • @badaimrage5633
    Reminder: This is a YouTube 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!
  • @enzowilhelen9302
    Glad to see the independent review space becoming more professional! Love your content guys
  • @FuncleChuck
    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!
  • @m3ttwur5t
    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.
  • @06stiguy63
    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.
  • @carwynvan
    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
  • @depression_daily
    looks like its time to donating more. I need to see more of this
  • @owomuwu
    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 !
  • @Cinclaire
    If your builder can communicate difficult design concepts as clearly as Dave does. says everything. Amazing work!
  • @951258tike22
    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.
  • @eddy1986
    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.
