1
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:11,120
well I wanted to take some time to compare the reference cooler for the GTX

2
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:15,679
560 and I realize I'm holding entirely the wrong prop right now but the

3
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:21,359
reference cooler for the GTX 560 so this is a flowerstyle heat pipe cooler so you

4
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:24,320
can see if I I guess if I spin that you might be able to see a little bit better

5
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:29,080
you can see it looks kind of like a stock Intel LGA 1155 heat sink and then

6
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:32,920
there's three heat pipes that come out of the top you can you see in there okay

7
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:38,600
what if I turn like this can you see the heat pipes no okay how about now can you

8
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,600
see the heat pipes through the

9
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:45,399
top really you can see the heat pipes okay

10
00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:51,440
one two three heat pipes like that so those are spreading out into a uh like

11
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:55,520
fin Arrangement on either side so it's actually kind of like the MSI Cyclone

12
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:59,239
cooler in design but it's covered with a shroud now some of the exhaust is going

13
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,000
to come out here some of it's going to come out here some of it's going to come

14
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:05,920
out here and some of it's going to come out here so while it does have a rear

15
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:12,640
exhaust vent for all intents and purposes we can consider this a sort of

16
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:16,439
70 to 80% internal exhaust card now I

17
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:19,759
wanted to compare that to the MSI GTX

18
00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:22,560
560 twin frozer 2 now this is not that

19
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:26,799
card this is a GTX 460 Hawk the twin frozer 2 card is actually on the test

20
00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:30,960
bench right now preparing for my idle temperature measurement but I'm going to

21
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:35,040
compare both temper temp and noise levels of the twin frozer 2 heat sink

22
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:38,920
which looks like this now this is an almost entirely internal exhaust heat

23
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:43,960
sink as well you can see we're going to get some incidental air flow from this

24
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:48,240
fan coming out here but other than that there's a lot ex of exhaust coming right

25
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:52,719
through the card here in the gaps right through here there's going to be some

26
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:57,280
going out this way uh the heat pipes including uh two super pipes that is

27
00:01:55,439 --> 00:02:02,960
thicker than standard heat pipes and two normal ones so there are four total heat

28
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:05,039
pipes are part of the overall design it

29
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:10,440
does use a dense fin arrangement with dual fans in order to achieve what MSI

30
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:16,480
claims is up to 20° better cooling under load than a stock cooler

31
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:22,160
now it's become a little bit challenging with recent gpus to measure maximum load

32
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:27,160
so instead of using furmark which was my traditional favorite um because of the

33
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,280
way they've locked them down to actually underperform in furmark so that you

34
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:35,480
don't blow your GPU by benchmarking furmark all day which I can kind of

35
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:40,400
understand what I'm actually going to do is I'm going to Loop the heaven

36
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:42,280
Benchmark and then just find the highest

37
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,959
temperature recorded during the entire thing this will be lower than normal so

38
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:51,239
probably the Delta will be lower than we'd normally see but I guess it'll give

39
00:02:48,159 --> 00:02:52,800
us a more realistic look at what kind of

40
00:02:51,239 --> 00:02:56,599
noise and what kind of temperatures we're going to get with these cards in a

41
00:02:54,640 --> 00:03:02,040
gaming scenario so right now I'll show you guys my testing methodology I've got

42
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:06,400
the GTX 560 on an Open Bench bear in mind Open Bench is going to be up to 5

43
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:10,480
to even 10° cooler than what you're going to see in a closed case either

44
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:14,560
that or the fan will ramp up more so it will also be in some ways quieter now

45
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,760
I've got my ambient temperature here which is about 23 Dees and I have a

46
00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:25,159
temperature probe right here in front of the fan intake So based on a 23° intake

47
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:28,959
temperature and a 27° idle temperature

48
00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:31,319
on my card I will call that a Delta of

49
00:03:28,959 --> 00:03:35,720
4° for my GTX 560 so I'm going to do some

50
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:39,879
load temps and I'm going to do some testing on the reference design and then

51
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:44,040
I'll come back and do a conclusion for you guys that to stress the card as much

52
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:50,120
as possible I am running the tessellation on Extreme as well as 8xaa

53
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:57,799
and no it's not counterfeit I just changed my Hardware all the time AA uh

54
00:03:52,640 --> 00:04:00,239
8x8 and 16x AF otherwise looks like this

55
00:03:57,799 --> 00:04:04,480
now in terms of temperatures uh hold on I'm going to turn my sensor back on so

56
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:09,680
the room temps have gone up a little bit because I did have the doors closed so

57
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:13,439
we're at 26° in the room now and the maximum and I'm going to take the

58
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:19,919
absolute Peak maximum we saw during the heaven Benchmark was

59
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:23,919
54° so that was the highest that was

60
00:04:19,919 --> 00:04:25,720
seen okay so then that means uh 54 - 26

61
00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:29,960
is I'm not very good at Mental Math so I'll be recording that on a graph and

62
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:34,560
then I'll show you guys the reference cooler in a moment okay so just getting

63
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:41,039
an idle temperature reading from my reference card so we're going to call

64
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:43,720
that 23° ambient and we'll call

65
00:04:41,039 --> 00:04:50,039
that an in complete inability of my camera to focus on anything well I'll

66
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:53,600
tell you what it says then it says 28 so there is the reference card on the bench

67
00:04:52,039 --> 00:05:00,720
and there is another attempt to focus come on come on come on come on come on yeah you can kind of see that 28 so

68
00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:03,919
that's a Delta of only about five ° so

69
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,479
back with the load results so we can see

70
00:05:03,919 --> 00:05:12,039
here on the graph what our Max temperatures were while running the

71
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:16,000
heaven Benchmark we peaked at around 70°

72
00:05:12,039 --> 00:05:17,840
so that is a Delta of uh actually we

73
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:22,400
here I'll do the math

74
00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:26,639
um okay because our room temperature is now

75
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:32,000
23 actually it was 24 a moment ago but I opened the door so we're going to go

76
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:33,479
with 24 uh I way here is the data I'm

77
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:40,479
not going to bother graphing this for you guys I'm sorry so with the hawk we

78
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:42,960
had a 4° Delta from the room temperature

79
00:05:40,479 --> 00:05:48,639
uh up to the temperature of the GPU at idle so a 5 Dee Delta on the reference

80
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:56,160
card but then when we look at the load temperatures it is almost as advertised

81
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:59,280
on the MSI box almost a 20° difference

82
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:02,319
between the four 560 twin frozer 2 and

83
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:06,560
the 560 reference card so you can see

84
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:08,199
that MSI does advertise 20° C cooler now

85
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:12,720
uh if we were running a more extreme scenario we probably might see 20° as a

86
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:18,479
worst case scenario something else to bear in mind is this is an OC Edition

87
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:20,919
card so naturally the twin frozer 2 card

88
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:24,360
will run a little bit hotter so if we clocked it down to the same speeds as

89
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:29,039
the reference card we might actually see even better temperatures so thank you

90
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:35,800
for checking out my video of the GeForce GT TX 560 TI thermals and Acoustics as

91
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:41,639
well as the comparison between the reference card and the twin frozer 2

92
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:47,039
Edition card from MSI don't forget to subscribe to Linus techtips for more

93

94
00:06:48,039 --> 00:06:57,120
videos so this is my noise reading for the gtx560 ti twin frozer 2 going to go

95
00:06:55,039 --> 00:07:03,240
about 6 in from the fan and let you guys take a little listen and then I'm going

96
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:03,240
to cut in the reference

97
00:07:15,039 --> 00:07:22,879
cooler and here's my load test on the twin frozer 2 so I'm just going to move

98
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,879
my normal distance from the

99
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:28,160
card and I'll cut in with the reference

100
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:31,319
cooler
