The Coolest Thing We've Made: New GN Coaster Pack 2 ( Debug )

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
We're super excited to announce the new GN 3D Drink Coaster 4-Pack! This has 4 brand new designs to accompany our originals, and we spent about a year fine-tuning the designs, colors, component placement, and quality. Every pack of 4 coasters contains the 4 unique designs shown in this video, featuring these: 1 - A red-and-black motherboard design with debug display, power and reset buttons, and to-scale AMD socket; 2 - A RAM design with small detail paid all the way down to the locking key and memory modules; 3 - An SSD with a to-scale SATA data and power connector along the edge; 4 - A GN logo in minimalist style that we've been using since the introduction of our 2008 logo. These are super flexible, durable, and easy to clean. The coasters have 8mm high borders to help prevent spills and contain condensation. You can also buy them in a combo pack with 4 of our pint glasses. This is one of the best ways to support our in-depth testing, like our recent RTX 4090 review with 30 game benchmark charts (!) while also getting something awesome in return.

Wow, they look excellent, I said, and then I found out that a set of 4 coasters would set me back what %20 of the minimum wage in my country would amount to, shipping fees and import taxes included. Pretty disturbing, to see how little our labour is worth. And almost as disappointing as the 6500 XT's existence. Although, the only good thing about the card was that I didn't need tweezers to hang it on the chassis to prevent sagging, or a 45 USD rainbow puke GPU bracket made from the finest, gamer-grade Onyx or Obsidian. Or was it Obelisk? Anyway, I built the whole thing without wearing an anti-static wristband, but there's no telling if I won't need a mod mat the next time I disassemble the PC for upgrade, or play around with something else. Go me! And AMD, I guess. Perhaps I should start saving, or git gudder.
Although, now that I think about it, the GPU bracket could be used in practical applications, such as in killing a geologist, for example.

I'll testify to your build quality. I bought one of your big blue-rubber mouse mats several months ago. With daily use over several months, it could definitely use a clean-up. But all the design detail is still there, there's no wear spots, nothing fraying, and I haven't even managed to stain it (despite being spill-prone ). As my other mouse mats (and the rest of my PC hardware) will attest, this is no small feat, and I expect this mat will be in service for years. It's a steal for the 30 I paid for it. Just got my screwdriver set, and early indications are good with that too -- it's even helped fix a wayward coffee grinder. Great stuff.

I love the content you guys put out as well as your merch. I got the signed toolkit and use it every time I work on my system (though I have to admit that I might switch to the LTT driver when mine gets here and just use your set for when I need the longer shaft - giggity). I have the Volt modmat which makes a great work surface so I don't screw up my dining room table. And finally the original set of coasters have been awesome. They are the first set of coasters that I have ever used for more than a couple weeks without getting annoyed at. So this was an immediate jump on it purchase for me

Hi Steve, I've got for you. I am not sure how many people this has happened to, but I was invited to the early access for the FE 4090 by Nvidia to purchase the card at Best Buy. Long story short, I waited a week for this, money was withdrawn from the start. 1 hour before I was supposed to pick it up, a store manager cancelled my order (The card was at the store) and then sold it to someone else. How can a Best Buy employee cancel the order for either them to buy or a peer to be able to scalp it and make profit? Has anyone else had this issue?

Awesome! Just had my wife place an order for these as well (she has an account and has been buying me GN merch for Christmas and b-days for a while now haha). These will go great with my original coaster set and bar runner. I also finally had an opportunity to use my Volt large modmat last weekend while working on a friend's PC. Love all your merch and hope you guys keep up the excellent content!

Bought two packs to compliment the two sets I purchased last year. FYI: these are the best coasters I ve ever used. It keeps the sweating waters from the cold glasses in the coaster instead of dripping all over you and the coasters don t flood either from all the condensation. If you re undecided, give it a try. These are not decorative pieces to advertise GN. They are great functional coasters.

Wow, you did put out another video, as per your friend at BPS Customs He got his hair caught in his 4090 and will never make you tube video's again. At least that's the rumor I heard. He posted that after I sent the following post Waiting for Steve at GN to chime in, this could get very interesting. referring to RTX4090 benchmarks. Let the games begin. :)

They look nice! would you consider selling the models by themselves, as a paid download? I have rather limited use for coasters, and I'm not too keen on intercontinental shipping for something I'm not goint to put to proper use. but as these designs are beautiful enough to just use as decoration, I would love to 3D print and paint them myself!
reply

Welp, looks like I'm spending another 35 on high quality products that I can likely get by without. . . but dammit they look cool and the first run was too irresistible!
But seriously, where else are you going to get a 7 year warranty on coasters??? American made products ftw

reply

These are awesome, I picked a set up. I've got the first set and some shirts, love the shirts too.
I know that it takes a while to make the Mod Mats, are you in the works for updating the design? I've held off on purchasing one but I am wanting to soon :D Thanks for all you do!

reply

I'm glad to see that this round of coasters doesn't have a similar design to the fan one from the last batch. As much as I like it aesthetically, one flaw was instability while using bottles with non flat or star shaped bottoms. I'll be happily adding these to the collection.
reply

i just voluntarily watched an entire video that was an ad
you got me
you got me good.
But I would like a demonstration of the coasters in action. I really can't see how some of these are functional without your drink tipping in one direction because of the cut outs

reply

Love the new designs. Picked up the 1st set and they are fantastic. In fact, I'm using one right now. Now I need 4 more friends, or start drinking 8 drinks at once.
Thank you for the simple paper packaging. For the love of God, continue doing that whenever possible.

reply

Thanks, now I have to decide between the new vs old. Looking forward to getting these in. Side note: I appreciate you guys reassuring us the cups will be stable on them. Even though that is probably the first thing that comes to mind when building a coaster.
reply

Good thing that I love your content, you definitely deserve all the support you can get.
Another good thing is that I'm buzzed and irritated from the condensation stains on my desks, will be adding the pints to the order.
