I have a $100 gift card that I can't use to pay bills with because, well, banks don't actually want to take prepaid cards, not PayPal, not banks and credit unions, etc. So, I want to know if you'd like me to use it to get AIOs, cases, and/or fans from NewEgg, Temu and/or eBay. There are a few good case choices on eBay and Temu, and several on NewEgg, one or two options for AIOs on each of them, and most of the good options for fans are on NewEgg and Temu. Please vote to help me decide! I can use left-over money by buying fans, too.

Would you like me to change all the thumbnails that I can so that it only shows the actual product instead of the retail packaging?

How do you feel about the possibility of me releasing regular, short videos about cybersecurity?

I'm about to start my AIO test series, starting with the Thermalright Frozen Notte 360 AIO. Please choose which AIO you would like me to test next.
I will release results for each AIO, including showing how it compares to all previous AIOs, at different room temperatures, speed settings and noise levels, and so on.
Each AIO will be tested in its default state and its own TIM (if provided), and it will also be tested using 3 Super Flower Megacool 120mm fans to see how much extra performance that will yield vs the included fans.
Sorry, I don't have a comparable [or any] AMD PC to run tests on! At this time, I would need financial support to purchase one because my employment at Amazon has suddenly been on hold by them for unethical reasons.
Intel i7-12700k CPU
Asus Tuf Gaming H670 Pro Wifi D4 motherboard
Thermalright Bend Correction Frame
Patriot Viper Steel 64 (2x32) GB Dual Channel DDR4 RAM, 3600 MHz, Timings: 18-22-22-42-64-990
8 TB M.2 SSD (4 devices)
XFX Speedster Merc 319 RX 6800 XT graphics card
120/140mm fans (TBD, intake and/or exhaust)
1 Noctua NF-A12x25 fan (rear exhaust)
Corsair RM850x power supply
Seagate Expansion external USB backup HDD
My personal preference is the Bitfenix since there are few reviews. Please choose one of the 360mm AIOs below. Unfortunately, this poll doesn't allow more than 5 options.

I want to ask YOU to choose which AIO to do after the Thermalright Frozen Notte 360 - you have 5 to choose from for the next 5, and an additional 9 to choose from for after those 5! You can vote in the comments, or you can vote in the poll I'll create right after this post. Please vote!

Silverstone has reached out to me and offered to send me fans for free, no strings attached, to test and review, and then I can even sell them or whatever when I'm done with them. It would certainly save me a lot of money to accept products from manufacturers, especially since I have no financial support doing this.
Prior to their offer, I told Silverstone that I would purchase their products and they would reimburse me, but they declined that, stating that "I have done reimbursement to purchasing before with a reviewer about 15 years ago, but that was a lot of hassle for our accounting so we stopped doing that."
I know that there are MANY YouTube tech channels that accept samples from manufacturers, which is why they have lots of products on their shelves behind them.
In April 2023, I put up a message to manufacturers explaining that I want to protect the integrity and reputation of my channel, both by refusing to accept money with strings attached, and also by not accepting direct donations of fans because companies might choose to send "special" fans (i.e. "golden samples") that are better than the ones sold to the public. https://youtu.be/TYzq2dkRWls
I'm not saying that Silverstone would actually send golden samples!
I'd like to know what my viewers think about me accepting products directly. I could certainly put an indicator on videos using donated products so that people know that, or I could just continue to refuse to accept direct product donations.
You should know this; there are problems with me purchasing products, too.
1) I might receive a product that is defective. If it is not clearly defective, then I might not realize that it is and then my review misrepresents the product.
2) Some vendors are not cooperative about replacing defective products. I recently tried to ask a vendor for help replacing a defective fan. They completely ignored me until I fixed the fan myself, and then they responded "You're very smart." >:(
3) I fund everything myself out of the money that I earn at Amazon, so I cannot afford to buy multiples of most things like some testers do so that they can average out the results from a set of fans.
4) Since I work for Amazon, I cannot participate in their Vine program (employees aren't allowed, which is stupid) where I would choose to receive products for free and then put up my unbiased reviews of them on Amazon.
5) Many products are overpriced, so it's hard to justify buying them because they don't even offer any amazing technology that justifies their price.
6) Spending all this money on products means I don't have that money to invest in an assistant, software and better equipment.
7) Some companies overcharge for ALL of their products, so it's unlikely that you'll ever see them reviewed on my channel.
Please choose what you think I should do about product purchases/donations.

I'm offering three options regarding my fan reviews and testing. What do you want?
3 - 6
This channel is devoted to computers, including reviews of computer hardware and software, comparisons, exposing online scams and more!
I will be starting with testing and reviewing case and cooler fans, and comparing them so that you can see which is the best for what you want to do!
Abuse/trolling/spamming/fraud/etc. will be ignored, eliminated and/or reported.
