WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:08.960 this is the fastest gaming CPU on the planet right now installed in an 1100 00:00:06.399 --> 00:00:14.400 rog motherboard but you know what it's just not fast enough for me we need 00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:20.240 to go faster so today we're going to be taking Intel's core i9 12900k 00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:23.519 putting a healthy little dollop of dielectric grease 00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:28.400 all in these CPU pins there oh don't worry this is 00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:35.680 for its own good and we are going to be taking it sub zero with our 3 00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:38.160 000 watt CPU chiller that's right we're 00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:41.760 hooking an air conditioner directly up to the CPU socket and it's going to be a 00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:47.120 lot of fun ladies and gentlemen let's see how fast we can make this thing go 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:51.680 and who's sponsoring this mess see sonic wow that makes sense they'll sponsor 00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:52.879 anything what 1300 watt powers apply oh 00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:56.719 yeah i guess it kind of makes sense it makes a little sense you try and do stuff like this without a good quality 00:00:55.680 --> 00:01:02.719 power supply you're gonna have a real bad time 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:02.719 go check out seasonic linked down below 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:15.680 you guys did your best on the installation job for part one here no we 00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:19.680 didn't but i'm definitely glad that i'm here to supervise this time here's the 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:24.080 thing when i said that i was doing this for the CPU zone good that's the truth 00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:28.720 the goop that i'm sticking into the pins in the CPU socket here is called 00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:33.360 dielectric grease and it serves a very important function because while the 00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:38.799 chiller project was an enormous success we managed to get this core i7 this is 00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:41.920 an older one down to minus 20 degrees 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:44.640 celsius there are some inherent risks 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:50.720 that come with going that cold namely condensation so because you can't stick 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:55.439 you know a big old thing of foam into your CPU socket pins you want to use a 00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:58.799 non-conductive grease like this dielectric grease that i'm smearing 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:02.399 around in here to make sure that we don't have any uh 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:07.200 moisture causing a short between the pins that would be a real bad time and 00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:11.440 probably kill our CPU something to note guys is that as messy and awful as this 00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:14.640 looks it's not harming the motherboard in any way and this board could continue 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:18.640 to function for years with this dielectric grease in the socket it's 00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:25.120 it'll just be messy you'll be a messy boy give me give me more give me more 00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:25.120 free brittany moore 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:30.959 it should be criminal to have this much fun at work it's hilarious 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:34.720 now normally at this stage we would install the CPU and use the hold down 00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:38.879 and retention ARM to keep it in place but when you're going sub-zero you can't 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:43.040 afford to have any little air gaps around the CPU because that's where all 00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:47.280 the cold refrigerant is going to be delivered and the thing is 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:51.440 something like this absolutely impossible to perfectly 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:55.840 insulate so you're going to get these little pockets where you get moisture condensing on the cold metal and then 00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:00.480 dripping is it possible to both hate and love 00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:05.840 something this much clearly 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:05.840 yeah because i'm doing it 00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:14.480 your fingers are greasy it's probably fine 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:19.440 yeah it's pretty shielded oh yeah it's actually got a whole like plate on the 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:22.080 back and everything wow it's Linus proof 00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:27.120 this is a disaster why did you guys do this is there another one 00:03:24.239 --> 00:03:30.640 yep all right thank goodness yeah that one was already pretty shot the good 00:03:28.799 --> 00:03:33.680 news is that we aren't going to do anything like that to it this time 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:40.319 because you don't really have to this is a cool feature of this board by the way it has not only the lga 1700 holes which 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:45.760 are standard but it also has the older style lga 1000 series holes so when 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:50.480 you've got an old cooler you can just put it on there you get it you just get 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:53.439 on there little buddy how much how much frost did you guys get on the back of 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:57.760 the board last time uh outside of that pad outside of that 00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:01.680 pad yeah then the back plate's coming off i wish i hadn't put the dielectric 00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:06.319 grease in just yet but hey that's what life is about learning 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:10.560 through my mistakes the good news is that none of this stuff that's got a 00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:16.880 thermal pad on it on the back here is gonna need to be cooled 00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:20.880 i should probably explain that pcbs or boards like this are made predominantly 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:24.240 of copper so copper happens to be an excellent conductor of heat which means 00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:28.400 that if you cool this CPU socket area 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:32.639 it will actually cool a huge amount of the board around it 00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:36.080 especially when the CPU isn't working real hard because there's just not 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:41.040 enough heat from these surrounding components to overcome the frost spread 00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:46.720 now they apparently didn't find this when they were insulating last time 00:04:42.479 --> 00:04:49.199 around but i actually have a motherboard 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:54.160 sized and with all the holes already punched through it piece of this 00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:58.479 insulation foam here then i'm going to take the part for the CPU 00:04:56.960 --> 00:05:02.080 i'm gonna put it right there and we're gonna stab all the way through and that 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:05.039 should pretty much do it for installation for the back of the board 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:07.840 so where are the uh where are the stabbies 00:05:07.039 --> 00:05:11.840 uh over there okay 00:05:10.320 --> 00:05:15.840 how many of them are three all of them oh they're all through yeah 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:19.759 oh nailed it um i think you might be mistaken though i think the 00:05:18.320 --> 00:05:24.639 might be the outer one it doesn't matter though it doesn't make a difference to what we're doing 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:28.720 i mean we could just use the threads to kind of 00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:32.240 oh no eliminate the gap between them this is a trippy kind of eraser that i 00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:35.680 had actually never heard of in my life until i tried to subzero cool a machine 00:05:34.400 --> 00:05:40.240 a few years back and learned that you like you like put 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:46.000 it down on the paper and then lift it up you don't like rub with it anyway it's 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:49.840 super malleable and it's a nice cheap way to 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:54.639 insulate around a CPU socket so this allows us to kind of push into you know 00:05:52.400 --> 00:05:58.240 little gaps that we otherwise wouldn't be able to 00:05:56.080 --> 00:06:03.039 to properly protect this is more for if you wanted to like daily drive sub-zero 00:06:00.880 --> 00:06:10.240 cooling which by the way people used to do back in the day like there was a huge 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:12.160 small community um at like extreme 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:17.440 systems and stuff like that that would build you know custom phase change 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:18.800 coolers and and actually 24 7 their cpus 00:06:17.440 --> 00:06:24.160 at subzero you always need to make sure that 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:25.919 you're focusing your your insulation on 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:28.800 places where you could potentially have moisture drip 00:06:27.520 --> 00:06:33.600 so i'm going to make sure that i pack things in really good down around the bottom here 00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:38.800 it's been so long since i've insulated a board feels good feels 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:43.440 nostalgic back when overclocking was fun you know maybe if i just will it to be 00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:48.080 fun and have a point again it will we want to go right up to the RAM slots 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:52.319 because the last thing you want man i can't think of anything you want less 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:57.840 than moisture in your RAM slot uh metal chips i mean yeah metal chips okay i 00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:02.080 mean it's not a competition alex now what we need is to get our 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:05.440 insulation up to the same level as the ihs of the CPU so the top of the metal 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:08.960 spreader we're going to use this for that 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:12.240 doesn't have to be the most crazy precise thing in the world 00:07:10.880 --> 00:07:18.080 what's nice about sticking this stuff onto the artist eraser is that you can actually clean up the board reasonably 00:07:16.400 --> 00:07:21.120 well when you're done you know it's another way to get no air 00:07:19.520 --> 00:07:26.560 in there put it in a vacuum sealed container 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:32.560 no i refuse it's awful alex 00:07:30.479 --> 00:07:36.240 i will not do that to this board not perfect not bad 00:07:34.400 --> 00:07:40.000 now we need to un this defy this 00:07:38.400 --> 00:07:45.360 now do you want this thermal probe in there yeah we need the thermal probe in there so we're gonna go right there 00:07:43.840 --> 00:07:49.199 we're going to kind of force it into this crack 00:07:47.280 --> 00:07:53.680 i want to get this probe cover just oh hold on hold on i lost the thermal loop 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:57.360 okay right there yep this is why i wanted it to be round by 00:07:55.280 --> 00:08:01.599 the way i know i i know that it wasn't possible 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:06.400 okay so now we just have to get it down to the level of the 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:11.120 uh cold plate like you probably need a solid three layers of this stuff 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:14.879 over every part of it do you want to wrap that for me 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:18.800 oh yeah the adhesive on this isn't very good no it's really worn out this is 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:22.240 super old is there an orientation does it matter no okay 00:08:24.400 --> 00:08:32.160 oh my god honestly this is like not that stupid 00:08:29.520 --> 00:08:36.479 i'm serious it's really not so you'll want to do 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:40.080 another round of that and then don't bother trying to like poke holes or like 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:43.919 cut it perfectly just like put it on and just like poke it through the hardware 00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:46.959 and then tighten down the hardware just like right on top of it just just make 00:08:45.760 --> 00:08:50.080 sure you've got a pretty decent amount of pressure all right this is like going 00:08:49.040 --> 00:08:55.040 to work now just more insulation 00:08:53.519 --> 00:09:01.360 and hopefully we're good to go 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:04.080 now we want this tight but not 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:08.480 super duper tight but also pretty super duper tight 00:09:05.839 --> 00:09:13.360 because it is holding in the CPU last time we had some issues with these 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:18.640 lines also getting all frozen and condensationy so with any luck 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:23.360 this will help prevent that oh 00:09:19.839 --> 00:09:25.920 that's really on there freaking 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:25.920 heck yeah 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:32.720 should be so much better than last time 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:37.600 yeah yeah yeah 00:09:34.800 --> 00:09:42.800 i mean that's pretty fine i think 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:47.279 uh where's our GPU at i like it i like it high enough performance that our 00:09:44.560 --> 00:09:51.760 benchmark scores will still be like good and not bottlenecked but we're not 00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:55.200 risking anything too expensive we've got a 30 60 going here 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:59.279 you know what's the craziest thing about this chiller 00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:04.079 is that it is conceivable that we could actually hook a GPU up to it as well in 00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:08.000 the future just with like a splitter or something like that off here yeah it 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:12.160 won't go a whole lot colder like you'll be able to see the 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:17.519 condenser temps right here but it can definitely pull a lot more 00:10:14.880 --> 00:10:22.880 heat out of stuff yeah it'll be really nice to have just like a ready-to-go 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.959 sub-zero cooling solution just 00:10:23.760 --> 00:10:29.200 like that uh oh our RAM is gone oh yeah that's 00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:33.760 pretty important i don't want to lose that ddr5 RAM this stuff's expensive as 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:42.240 fragi isn't it uh yes oh yeah this is the 6000 cl 36 stuff 00:10:39.040 --> 00:10:44.000 um this stuff better not die 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:49.120 i mean that's okay g skill you would you'd forgive us right g skill watching 00:10:47.040 --> 00:10:52.079 like i'm so damn excited right now are you 00:10:50.880 --> 00:10:56.240 ready uh sure should we make sure this turns 00:10:54.079 --> 00:11:00.160 on first oh yeah right if okay if we were daily driving the thing normally 00:10:57.920 --> 00:11:03.360 people set up a relay so that when you press the power button on your computer 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:08.959 it also fires up your compressor and your fan for the condenser but no we don't 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:12.240 have that so yeah go ahead never do this 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:17.279 this this is mains power never this yeah none 00:11:15.680 --> 00:11:21.120 of this none of this the only reason we have it still 00:11:18.880 --> 00:11:24.320 connected at all is because you can't just 00:11:21.920 --> 00:11:27.600 plug in a modern compressor and condenser and expect it to just run full 00:11:26.160 --> 00:11:34.160 tilt all the time and you wouldn't even necessarily want it to that wouldn't be healthy for it so this is the controller 00:11:31.680 --> 00:11:39.120 that has all the safeties like say for example the safety that turns it off if 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:42.880 the evaporator fan turns off which is why we have this sitting here spinning 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:47.600 oh i'm gonna let go of that all right let's turn this on fire it up 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:51.200 come on okay we'll see if it starts we might need to warm this thermal probe up 00:11:48.959 --> 00:11:51.200 a bit 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:59.279 oh huh there we go there we go the fan spinning i really 00:11:56.959 --> 00:12:03.279 hope it posts especially after i lectured you guys 00:12:00.880 --> 00:12:07.600 about your way of insulating if my way doesn't work better then i'm 00:12:04.800 --> 00:12:13.279 gonna look like a jackass oh it's officially sub-zero nice come on 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:17.519 baby i see flashing on the floor there we go yes 00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:21.600 okay that's step one step two is ignore fan monitoring oh 00:12:19.920 --> 00:12:26.959 yeah these are already frosting 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:30.639 definitely need to cover these up you see what i'm doing here brandon i'm 00:12:28.160 --> 00:12:34.639 just covering up that exposed metal from the the bolt through brandon there's a 00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:38.000 little display on this ridiculously fancy motherboard if you come over to 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:42.480 where i am you can see it's gonna pop up CPU package zero degrees 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:47.279 there it is it could very well be lower but that might be the limit of what it'll display 00:12:45.680 --> 00:12:51.360 yeah the radiator inlet's currently at 16 and a half degrees which is ambient 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:55.519 so we are not able to get any colder than it's 14 right now negative 14 minus 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:59.920 14. okay well i mean hey that's not a bad start 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:04.639 yeah it's not warm yeah do we have any parts of it that are 00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:08.639 sort of scary cold and we're worried about condensation on 00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:08.639 uh 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:14.480 some of these bits around the top are very cold 00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:20.480 like right here yeah okay uh the good news is at least to the 00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:24.320 touch it feels not bad 00:13:22.560 --> 00:13:28.000 what you would normally do assuming you actually wanted to 24 7 this thing is 00:13:26.160 --> 00:13:31.279 you would keep the computer off during this kind of testing like where you're 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:35.920 you know looking at temperatures and checking for condensation because that 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:41.040 way any moisture is not going to harm it then what you would do is you would make 00:13:38.079 --> 00:13:44.880 sure you'd run it for like 24 hours take it all apart kind of go okay did we 00:13:43.040 --> 00:13:48.800 actually get any moisture pockets anywhere and then if you didn't 00:13:46.959 --> 00:13:52.880 then it's safe to fire up your phase change cooler and go to town because if 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:57.360 it doesn't if it doesn't get condensation on it when there's no load 00:13:54.880 --> 00:14:01.440 on the CPU it definitely won't when the CPU is generating some heat 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:04.959 and it looks like that worked so we are uh 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:10.079 we're turboing which i guess we expected 00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:13.279 CPU is like oh yeah i think i got some thermal headroom yeah i feel like if we 00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:17.760 just use ASUS's ai overclocking crap in the 00:14:16.560 --> 00:14:22.399 BIOS we can probably get it going pretty fast 00:14:19.920 --> 00:14:25.519 real quick uh 00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:30.399 i sincerely doubt that it's related to the chiller right now it's probably just 00:14:27.199 --> 00:14:32.639 this RAM being bleeding edge uh have we 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:35.519 updated the BIOS of this board uh no we haven't we should probably make 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:39.360 sure we've got whatever the latest retail BIOS is as well brand new 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:42.000 platforms man you just stuff happens 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:46.160 that's why whenever you've seen us update our editing workstations for example i've seen criticism from people 00:14:44.880 --> 00:14:50.639 like oh you guys aren't even using the fastest seven like no dog 00:14:48.880 --> 00:14:53.600 we go with something proven when we need to actually get work done gaming machine 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:58.240 sure whatever you get a blue screen once a month who cares but like 00:14:56.079 --> 00:15:03.920 no no not when you're working task manager just in case we need that for 00:15:00.160 --> 00:15:03.920 whatever reason okay we are 00:15:04.079 --> 00:15:09.839 apparently at zero degrees should we try putting a little load on it just to see 00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:18.079 what happens sure make sure that it doesn't freak out 00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:21.120 our score to beat is 27 000. oh my god 00:15:18.079 --> 00:15:24.320 our CPU is running at 30 degrees on the 00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:25.519 package running cinebench 00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:30.560 i think we've got a little bit of headroom yeah i think it's working 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:33.360 so score 26 866. did we thermal velocity boost more than 00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:37.040 we did before no okay so it's basically the same yeah 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:41.120 okay well then it's time to uh time to turn 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:44.320 up the juice you just cranked it all the way to the right yeah which you can do 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:48.639 whatever you want it's probably do like a half a volt offset that probably makes 00:15:46.160 --> 00:15:54.360 sense what is that even based on you're just dragging sliders around yeah so 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:57.360 okay what we're looking for is like 1.42 00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:59.040 1.43 volts that'll get you like 00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:02.240 pretty fast on these okay 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:07.839 so then we want about 0.25 then 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:09.920 yeah that probably makes more sense 00:16:07.839 --> 00:16:13.519 we'll not be able to recover to a valid state automatically 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:16.720 hold on oh brandon didn't see that yeah that was an amazing error message sorry 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:20.720 you missed it it basically said your system will not be able to recover to a 00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:23.680 valid state automatically if this thing crashes 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:29.920 it's going to crash let's see what happens if we actually put a load on it 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:31.440 60 degrees now 80. 00:16:29.920 --> 00:16:36.000 i think we have a thermal bottleneck alex 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:40.560 i think our we're also drawing 420 watts our interface is not good enough nice 00:16:38.160 --> 00:16:44.240 boost though 28 605 well it's faster let's run it again and 00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:48.880 let's have a look at our CPU frequencies 00:16:45.839 --> 00:16:50.399 5.2 on all performance cores and 4.0 on 00:16:48.880 --> 00:16:54.560 all efficiency cores why is it supposedly reaching 100 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:57.680 degrees and thermal throttling 00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:03.440 but keeping that frequency the whole time yeah it's kind of weird 00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:07.600 i would expect it to drop if it was actually that hot i wonder if it's not 00:17:05.600 --> 00:17:10.160 actually reading it properly how high are these efficiency cores 00:17:08.959 --> 00:17:14.480 supposed to go i haven't actually looked into this at all the highest that i've 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:19.199 seen people get them is like 4.1 4.2 but they'll do four pretty easily 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:24.079 well let's go for 4.2 all right i mean how many times do you live right 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:26.640 for this board maybe once there they go 00:17:25.280 --> 00:17:31.760 doing it okay so the core temperatures are saying that it's at 60 this time despite it 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:35.760 running faster i think it was just bugged before 00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:41.840 29.097 that's really fast that's really fast 00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:47.919 we are dangerously close to 32 core threadripper 2990 wx territory we have 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:50.960 half as many cores guys half as many cars boys 00:17:49.919 --> 00:17:56.960 okay well the only responsible thing to do at this point is to take our two active 00:17:54.400 --> 00:18:05.280 cores and see if we can do like 5.5 you know what let's just try 00:17:59.360 --> 00:18:06.880 plus 0.3 volts and see what happens ah 00:18:05.280 --> 00:18:11.440 uh yeah i don't think our CPU is happy 00:18:09.520 --> 00:18:16.320 i'm a little bit suspicious that our problem is current and it's going to 00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:20.640 cause our voltage to drop when we hit all the cores at the 5.4 00:18:19.360 --> 00:18:25.440 and that's why it's shutting down we also might just be at where the silicon 00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:28.640 like its absolute limits but i feel like we can push it a little 00:18:27.120 --> 00:18:32.720 bit faster now i have the multimeter hooked up 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:38.400 to the pins here so we can see the core voltage on our multimeter 00:18:35.600 --> 00:18:42.240 and i feel like when i hit go it's going to go up to like 1.4 and then it's going 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:47.200 to drop and then the system's going to crash but let's see 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:50.400 the core temperatures are going fine so it must have just been a problem with 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:57.760 the reporting before once it was over 100 degrees 00:18:52.160 --> 00:19:00.000 we drew 264 amps during that run often 00:18:57.760 --> 00:19:05.919 i think we need to leave xtu for a little bit 00:19:03.120 --> 00:19:08.960 and go into some real hardcore settings here 00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:13.600 by hardcore settings i mean just disabling all current limits we'll just 00:19:11.120 --> 00:19:18.160 come in here oh don't crash oh damn it 00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:23.360 you crashed oh you piece of we bring out the camera and this is what you do 00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:27.440 well we beat the threadripper um i guess it's not quite stable 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:33.200 i guess at the last two cores we tried to get to 5.4 gigahertz they're not very 00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:37.919 happy there uh 5.3 seems to be where they want to be the rest can do 5'4 00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:42.640 but this is basically what we're doing so for every CPU you have your voltage 00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:47.200 and frequency curve 4.5 gigahertz you come over here it's like 00:19:44.679 --> 00:19:51.039 1.15 whatever volts is what you're getting so first thing that we have to 00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:56.000 do is extend this so it goes to like 5.2 right now we want to 00:19:53.919 --> 00:19:59.440 go just kind of up here and then we just offset the 00:19:57.919 --> 00:20:02.960 whole thing by a point zero 00:20:01.120 --> 00:20:06.559 five volts or something like that raise the whole thing up so hopefully it's 00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:10.320 more stable hopefully we don't get as much droop although it's an insane 00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:14.480 amount of voltage this thing is taking right now it's like 00:20:11.840 --> 00:20:19.360 over 400 watts it's pretty stupid but it seems to be working i would very 00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:22.880 strongly recommend scatterbenches alder like overclocking guide it's like an 00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:27.520 hour and a half long but the amount of information in there is obscene if you 00:20:25.120 --> 00:20:32.880 want to actually overclock these things go and watch that but anyway 00:20:29.840 --> 00:20:35.280 all of the cores are at 5.4 gigahertz 00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:39.520 except for the last two there are 5.3 they don't seem happy at 5.4 00:20:37.760 --> 00:20:44.000 all of the efficiency cores are still at 4.2 gigahertz 00:20:42.080 --> 00:20:48.240 and we're running what only 1.3 volts 00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:52.520 although it does get higher than that as you're going to be able to tell from 00:20:49.679 --> 00:20:57.520 here so it's saying we're drawing 371 watts oh 00:20:55.280 --> 00:20:57.520 no 00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:05.520 oh why did we turn on the camera brandon 00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:05.520 it was working before 00:21:05.679 --> 00:21:13.039 that's how it always works thirty thousand fifty four to beat also 00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:15.039 not crashing to beat 00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:20.000 oh 3064. 00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:22.159 heck yeah beat it by 10 points 00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:28.480 that's pretty crazy given that we have literally half as many cores as the 2990 00:21:25.520 --> 00:21:33.039 wx i'm getting slightly concerned i can see that where the thumb screws are 00:21:31.280 --> 00:21:36.880 there's a little bit of condensation if you look like over here 00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:41.200 the amount of frost is obscene this thing is so freaking cold that gives you 00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:45.120 an idea of what it's like inside that CPU and why 00:21:43.520 --> 00:21:48.320 if we didn't have all insulation be having a real bad time 00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:54.240 now let's come over here i upped the voltage just a tiny bit 00:21:51.280 --> 00:21:57.360 it's probably going to crash we've the second that we brought the camera is 00:21:55.760 --> 00:22:00.320 just been crash city because of course it is 00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:05.600 yep piece of crap did we get there 00:22:03.280 --> 00:22:10.320 we did we beat it by 700 points and then stupid brandon had to turn his camera on 00:22:07.679 --> 00:22:14.240 we can't do it again yes this is your fault brandon we didn't 00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:18.080 get it once on camera we only beat it by 10 points i think it meant stupid 00:22:15.840 --> 00:22:22.159 situation brandon had to turn his stupid camera on it's not the brandon that's 00:22:19.919 --> 00:22:27.039 stupid it's everything else oh my god we did beat it like look it's 00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:30.320 within 55 points on this run you know what 00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:33.840 i'm calling that a victory i'm calling that a victory it's obvious there's 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:38.000 still work that we could do whether it's on our evaporator design whether it's on 00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:41.360 the flatness whether it's on our mounting pressure or whatever the case 00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:46.400 may be but i think also with just like it's a 00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:51.280 pretty cool setup we're in real like tweaking the little list of 00:22:49.120 --> 00:22:55.600 voltages and frequencies and stuff like we're right on the edge in terms of if 00:22:53.360 --> 00:22:58.480 you've got an outstanding cooler what to expect from alder lake 00:22:57.200 --> 00:23:02.320 this is about it yeah just like you'd always expect me to 00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:05.679 tell you about our sponsor what is there to say other than sea sonic they make 00:23:03.840 --> 00:23:10.720 great power supplies that that's right can deliver 00:23:07.760 --> 00:23:14.159 watts nice over the 8-pin CPU power connectors 00:23:12.080 --> 00:23:18.240 and do it nice and stably so that you're not going to be giving up any potential 00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:22.400 overclocking headroom because you got a crummy power supply so go check them out 00:23:19.840 --> 00:23:25.679 they've got up to 12-year warranties like what 00:23:23.520 --> 00:23:28.400 and we've got them linked down below okay let's shut it down and have a look 00:23:27.120 --> 00:23:32.559 at the yeah the nonsense whoa okay well there's 00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:37.840 definitely some frost yeah i was a bit concerned about those i think everything 00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:37.840 else might be fine 00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:48.640 so this all there's a little bit of moisture right 00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:52.240 in here right around the CPU the rest seems dry 00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:56.080 this also is all dry that worked fantastic 00:23:54.000 --> 00:24:00.720 back of the motherboard oh yeah that's totally dry bone dry back 00:23:58.320 --> 00:24:06.400 there this worked really well well i'm super stoked that we were able 00:24:03.679 --> 00:24:10.159 to get this processor faster than 2990 wx that's 00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:13.840 frigging insane huge thanks to see sonic for sponsoring 00:24:11.840 --> 00:24:16.720 this video and if you liked it hit like get subscribed 00:24:15.919 --> 00:24:21.919 and you know watch our sub-zero cooling build guide we did 00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:26.799 it was years ago but lions did a full guide if you wanted to 00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:29.600 24 7 a sub-zero build for some reason 00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:29.600 bye
