1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,919
today is a good day because I have everything I need 230 L of liquid

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:12,519
nitrogen this rotten apple this giant hunk of copper these tongs the one and

3
00:00:09,719 --> 00:00:18,240
only Alan spave gers such current world record holder for 12900 K and 12900 K

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:22,519
overclocking and of course this map gas torch what are we going to be doing with

5
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:28,080
them we are going to be overclocking why you ask I'm glad you did because it's

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:32,599
the day of Our Lord June the 9th and we

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:35,320
desire a 6.9 G gz CPU nice like this

8
00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:40,039
message from our sponsor ug green make charging more convenient with ug Green's

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:45,120
new 65 W charger it's a 3in1 charger that has two USBC ports and a USB a port

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:49,879
in a super compact form factor that fits in the palm of your hand get yours today

11
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:55,039
using the link down below step one get liquid nitrogen from this through the

12
00:00:51,879 --> 00:00:58,359
phase separator into this

13
00:00:55,039 --> 00:01:00,559
woo it's freaking me out guys how do we

14
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:04,720
tell how full it is we can't see a thing also my hand's very cold he why do you

15
00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:09,880
drive a Subaru stranger things how you doing

16
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:13,159
there hosie boy the next step is obviously to play with it for a bit what

17
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,600
is it a minus 195° yeah the fact that it's still

18
00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:23,759
boiling around the apple means it's not quite Frozen through yet right you got it drink your

19
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:26,159
juice all right come on banana buddy

20
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:30,439
okay ah you should probably put on some

21
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,799
safety glasses you'd hardly even believe that was a

22
00:01:32,119 --> 00:01:41,399
tangerine once I guess we should get to work now

23
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,520
huh watch out watch out God oh wait it

24
00:01:41,399 --> 00:01:47,640
it broke through whoa our buckets leaking crap this is where it was

25
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:50,439
sitting on the floor yeah the epoxy that's there I guess froze with that out

26
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,119
of the way let's fill up a more reasonable sized container from lpt

27
00:01:52,640 --> 00:02:00,200
store.com and talk about why we want liquid nitrogen for overclocking at all

28
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:04,439
woo see the thing about microprocessor is the faster you run them that is more

29
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:09,080
gigahertz the more heat they generate and as they get hotter their internal

30
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:15,160
resistance goes up generating you guessed it even more heat this creates a

31
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:21,200
kind of hard barrier to how fast you can go that's why we don't have 10 GHz CPUs

32
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:24,000
today but what if you could remove all

33
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:29,239
of that heat as efficiently as possible say take it down to greater than

34
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:33,680
170° C well that's where this buddy comes in but it's not as simple as just

35
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:37,879
taking your CPU plunking it into the motherboard and dumping liquid nitrogen

36
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:41,599
on it for reasons that you might not necessarily think of it's not the liquid

37
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:45,440
nitrogen that I'm putting on this board that has a chance to kill it it's

38
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:50,200
actually the moisture in the air around us you see as that moisture contacts my

39
00:02:47,959 --> 00:02:54,040
cold board is going to condensate or turn into liquid water which as you guys

40
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:58,440
can imagine having sitting on a motherboard is a pretty bad time things

41
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:02,959
like closed cell foam dialectric grease artist eraser and shop top towels are

42
00:03:00,519 --> 00:03:07,159
great tools to keep air and therefore moisture away from your sensitive

43
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:11,400
Electronics however this particular board which was prepared by spave is

44
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:16,040
using a technique that I haven't seen before it looks almost like a conformal

45
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:21,239
coating what is this this is a liquid electrical tape oh I ruined too many

46
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:24,159
clothes with Vaseline okay fair enough now the key knite among our viewers have

47
00:03:22,799 --> 00:03:28,159
probably noticed that you didn't just blanket the whole board in electrical

48
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:32,680
tape and in fact it seems to be built up in thicker layers in certain areas

49
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,200
obviously you don't want any moisture in your vrms with the kind of current

50
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:42,519
you're going to be running through there it would Arc much more easily but can you explain the rationale behind why you

51
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:45,480
might say coat the audio chipset but not

52
00:03:42,519 --> 00:03:50,200
coat the motherboard PCH the motherboard PC is going to be pretty warm as it is

53
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:54,200
and when I don't run a cooler on it to let it get warm so it kind of acts as a

54
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:57,720
defroster in this area and then would that be the same thing for the bottom of

55
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:02,239
the board here or yeah it won't really get this far but a heat backboard heater

56
00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:06,280
and the chipset and the vrm will'll keep it pretty defrosted printed circuit

57
00:04:04,239 --> 00:04:10,480
boards are made of copper and copper as you guys know is an excellent conductor

58
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:14,400
of heat and also cold so if we put something really cold here it's

59
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:19,799
conceivable that if we didn't have other heat sources on the board this entire

60
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:24,800
thing would get really cold really fast

61
00:04:19,799 --> 00:04:27,880
that's a heater oh I see how fun is this

62
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,600
this is a giant freaking CM thick

63
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:37,880
thermal pad delicious and under it is what is this

64
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:41,600
an eot who makes this Elmore Elmore is another famous overclocker and you guys

65
00:04:39,479 --> 00:04:46,080
are all you guys are all bitter enemies Yeah so basically all I'm really looking

66
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:50,919
at here is pretty much the same thing you'd find on your rear car window for

67
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:57,840
defrosting it's just High Resistance wires on a PCB so you just use a simple

68
00:04:54,919 --> 00:05:01,479
six pin PCIe and then it basically just goes yep Heat this boy up the next

69
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:06,320
weapon in the extreme overclockers Arsenal that I am familiar with is of

70
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:10,960
course the pot now these can be designed for various substances dry ice liquid

71
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:14,960
nitrogen liquid helium I would imagine you use pretty much the same design for

72
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:19,240
helium and nitrogen and these are not just a hunk of copper they are

73
00:05:16,919 --> 00:05:24,000
specifically engineered to optimize the transfer of heat from your CPU to the

74
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:29,160
liquid that is boiling within it now as you can imagine mounting one of these is

75
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:33,479
not as simple as just you know putting a normal mount bracket on it because

76
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:41,240
you've been paying very close attention any brackets or metal pieces around the

77
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:43,960
CPU are going to collect condensation so

78
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:49,319
we actually use a very specific way of mounting these with extremely long posts

79
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:52,960
on our thermal padded heated back here and all of our Hardware way up here so

80
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:56,360
that we can wrap it all up in shop towel and make sure that any condensation that

81
00:05:54,560 --> 00:06:00,639
does inevitably gather is going to be absorbed by that and that's it Yeehaw

82
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:04,360
I'm a professional overclocker right ladies and gentlemen well no actually

83
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:08,800
isn't how it works see this probe right here this is a k type probe plugs into

84
00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:13,919
one of these you don't just want the CPU running as cold as possible and managing

85
00:06:11,479 --> 00:06:19,960
The Thermals of the chip are a huge part of the art SL science SL Blackmagic that

86
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:24,960
is Extreme overclocking you see for example some chips or or even entire

87
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:28,240
platforms might have a bug say for example where if they're too cold when

88
00:06:26,479 --> 00:06:32,560
you first try to boot them they won't turn on at all you got to start them

89
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:36,680
warm then cool them down or vice versa that means just as important as our

90
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:41,800
application of cold is our application of heat we also need the knowledge any

91
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:46,599
idiot could pour L2 on a CPU and overclock higher than they would be able

92
00:06:43,479 --> 00:06:48,759
to on air or water cooling but to reach

93
00:06:46,599 --> 00:06:53,280
the absolute limits you've got to invest in both your own knowledge and personal

94
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:58,400
experience something that can only be gained through countless hours spent on

95
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:01,919
this stuff and in building connections none of those are things that you can

96
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:06,639
buy for any amount of money but that doesn't mean it's a cheap hobby no one

97
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:10,800
even with years decades of experience could hope to achieve a world record

98
00:07:08,199 --> 00:07:15,720
overclock without what we call a Golden Chip as we also learned in our Intel Fab

99
00:07:12,919 --> 00:07:19,800
tour every piece of silicon is a little bit different and not all have the same

100
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:26,639
capabilities the one that I'm holding in my hand is the result of buying 100 of

101
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:29,879
Intel's 12900 K and taking only the top

102
00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:32,080
10 of those with one of these you might

103
00:07:29,879 --> 00:07:37,400
have a chance but let me get this out of the way for you there is absolutely no

104
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:41,360
money in extreme overclocking whatsoever very true and the folks who do dedicate

105
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:46,120
their lives to it do it for the thrill of the hunt so with that in mind let's

106
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:49,960
get the fourl over with and overclock some CPUs is this one going to do 6.9 I

107
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:54,879
know we can do it that's what a whole gigahertz lower than what you've done on these pretty up there still but it

108
00:07:53,599 --> 00:07:58,879
should be should be okay oh he's changing his tune already so now when

109
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:04,759
now when he doesn't do it well I didn't say for sure actually you won that yeah

110
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,400
oh really yeah small world hilarious what's a safe voltage that I can

111
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:14,479
actually I'll just guess well we'll just see what happens I'll just go if

112
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:18,280
you got the defaults you have the RGB

113
00:08:14,479 --> 00:08:20,240
where you want it turbo performance yay

114
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:25,120
we did it what I'm really curious about now is just how fast this will go with

115
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:30,280
liquid nitrogen and just stock settings like XMP just enable the power limit to

116
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:37,120
go as high as it wants the highest that I've ever seen on an Intel CPU like this

117
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:40,399
air cooled is about 28

118
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:45,800
29,000 in cinch show negative

119
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:48,959
temperatures zero yeah 0° yes oh weird

120
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:51,720
but it only Drew 160 Watts even though

121
00:08:48,959 --> 00:08:55,480
it was 4.9 allor so that could be due to our colder temperature oh like it's that

122
00:08:54,040 --> 00:09:00,519
big cuz I would normally expect that to be like 300 and a bit watts do you want

123
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:04,160
to try to go colder and see if we can get even less wattage well I want to

124
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:08,760
open up XTU first and see what we can get sure it should be pretty happy at

125
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:13,959
like 42 there we'll just take all of these to five and we need some more

126
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,800
voltage po voltage offset let's do .12

127
00:09:13,959 --> 00:09:21,760
sure I'm just guessing numbers that's all I

128
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:23,120
do didn't blue screen wow you a pro so L

129
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:28,839
and2 is just like easy mode we're drawing 230 watts and I would expect

130
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:31,200
this to normally be like 400 yeah all

131
00:09:28,839 --> 00:09:34,800
right here broke 30,000 points and C a bench right there that's what faster

132
00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:38,640
than a Threadripper 32 core yeah and we're only atus

133
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:42,800
90 compared to that stupid Chiller that we have oh my God all right let's just

134
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:48,680
try 6 GHz there's no way this just a 6 GHz like that oh my God it's doing it

135
00:09:45,079 --> 00:09:51,120
how 6 GHz on all the Pees it's only 260

136
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:56,800
Watts this is insane below your typical wattage at 6 GHz holy crap 3,200,000

137
00:09:54,440 --> 00:10:01,000
points in cin bench just did it it's like the black hole Yeah it's just

138
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:05,800
completely black this can't read below -40° C is there any hot spots on the

139
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:11,600
board it's it's having a lot of trouble with a thing that's that cold around

140
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:17,079
here it's confused chipsets at 40° SSD

141
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:18,959
is at 47 well let's uh apply 6.4 and see

142
00:10:17,079 --> 00:10:24,600
if it crashes it's not fine I have more CPUs we can

143
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:27,360
use no way it just do 6.4 oh it didn't

144
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:31,079
you could do one thing turn off C States and you could put it on fixed voltage or

145
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:35,480
saying fix the voltage normally you would have a VF curve so the more

146
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:39,360
frequency that you want the More Voltage it gives it we don't care about that at

147
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:42,680
all we're just sticking one voltage cuz we're going for just the highest point

148
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:48,959
on that VF curve and that's the only one that we care about you wouldn't want to run your system like that the voltage

149
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:52,000
kind of erodes away your silicon and uh it it won't be very happy in a while but

150
00:10:50,839 --> 00:10:59,560
if you're just doing stuff like this it's totally fine so about like 1.45

151
00:10:54,680 --> 00:11:03,560
sure 1455 sure uh let's try 6.3

152
00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:07,800
6.3 GHz and that's just with me not even

153
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:10,440
trying in XTU this is amazing 3500

154
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:14,880
points in cinn bench oh my God we just beat a Threadripper

155
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:21,839
3960x if I don't even need your help to get 6.9 that would be amazing I think I

156
00:11:17,959 --> 00:11:23,920
will will it do 6.5 is this going a lot

157
00:11:21,839 --> 00:11:28,240
better than I thought it would oh do we freeze no never mind all right well do

158
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:35,800
you want to take over sure you can go further I'm going to set like a basee

159
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:39,600
core frequency of 55 uh like 42 on the

160
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:41,480
EES just give us some voltage so it's

161
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:45,880
booting a little warmer and I'm going to turn C States off so it's always at its

162
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:51,560
highest level okay there water on top of the memory is that good yeah not optimal

163
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:55,880
but I I think it'll be all right okay so what we're doing right now is retraining

164
00:11:53,480 --> 00:12:02,000
the memory apparently it isn't too happy when you're below what 140° C so he just

165
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:07,720
just changed one setting incredibly slightly filled the pot dumped it down

166
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:09,760
to what is this 193° C then you just

167
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:17,160
restart it and the memory retrains itself and apparently is fine afterwards

168
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:19,000
it's fine okay uh 162 1.62 volts you

169
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:24,959
told me to stop at 1.5 I didn't want you to beat me do you want to go for it sure

170
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:31,000
yeah go for it it's a 69 wo 6.9 yep we can see it in the thing

171
00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:35,000
let's open up to task manager oh task manager's dead window doesn't know what

172
00:12:32,839 --> 00:12:38,760
to do with any of this oh my God it's doing it I think the beginning is

173
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:45,079
usually the hardest part so should be all right and we're getting as warm as

174
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:48,279
188 boom holy crap we did it 6.9 GHz CPU

175
00:12:45,079 --> 00:12:50,480
we did it nice that wasn't even hard

176
00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:55,720
that was easy sorry do you want to do a base clock

177
00:12:52,800 --> 00:13:00,320
over clock oh sure 6969 yeah 6969 I'll go grab lonus and this is where it goes

178
00:12:57,839 --> 00:13:05,680
AR you hear a little pop and thermal pace is gone

179
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:08,880
y so we had a catastrophic failure there

180
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:10,839
so I have to torch it up two around 150

181
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:16,560
it'll should come back it's it's just a black hole still

182
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,560
what if you go like this

183
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:26,120
ready watch my eyebrows do you see our IO is all oh

184
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:30,360
jeez that can't be good why is it so wet I don't know have you used this stuff

185
00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:36,360
before lonus no it's amazing I got what 6.3 GHz no problem it only Drew like 240

186
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:46,800
WTS too it's like within Intel's TDP wow it's insane what are we at right now 6.9

187
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:50,120
4.2 oh it passed beautiful

188
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:52,120
36,000 that is absolute Madness I have

189
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:57,839
the scores right here like hold on a second so that's what you'd expect out

190
00:13:54,120 --> 00:14:01,120
of an epic server CPU with twice as many

191
00:13:57,839 --> 00:14:03,680
cores yeah literally double wow does

192
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:08,440
that ever boil fast boy you must go through a crap ton of this stuff you

193
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:12,759
want to hear underload it gets even low I

194
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:16,800
do we went through like this much just to run that one Benchmark so what you're

195
00:14:14,839 --> 00:14:22,839
saying is that if I were to try and do this 24/7 it would cost an astronomical

196
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:25,800
amount of money half a liter a run maybe

197
00:14:22,839 --> 00:14:30,120
no it seems that 12900 K just handles cold really well and you just freaking

198
00:14:27,959 --> 00:14:34,800
go for it we could go colder it would be even better really can we do more on

199
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:39,160
this chip yeah we can bump it up and see where it fails holy crap did we ever

200
00:14:37,639 --> 00:14:44,440
boil away a lot on that one was there more power we hit

201
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:47,120
38.5k now so the eor has Juiced the

202
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:53,199
score quite a bit 1,500 off the world record for a 16 cor core I9 so give it

203
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:57,959
more I guess is pouring the L and2 considered a glamorous job or is that

204
00:14:55,279 --> 00:15:02,920
like the monkeyy job we call it the ln2 bit but not when you're doing it at

205
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:09,920
least not to my face right it's boiling so hard it's like slopping out of the

206
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:12,560
thing here oh we hit a blue

207
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:17,639
screen so why is it only the start that it doesn't like super cold I think it's

208
00:15:14,639 --> 00:15:20,600
kind of like when it's on it's not as

209
00:15:17,639 --> 00:15:24,440
cold oh cuz like the actual CPU isn't getting down to like0 cuz it's right

210
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:29,680
running and making heat got some wattage in it woo when you find a Golden Chip I

211
00:15:27,959 --> 00:15:33,160
mean do you try and get as much juice out of it as soon as you can knowing

212
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:37,480
that what you're doing to it is going to degrade it significantly as long as

213
00:15:34,959 --> 00:15:39,759
you're careful careful yeah this looks really

214
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:47,519
careful woo you have until my dunk CPU hits room

215
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:51,480
temperature to break a record ready go actually it's worse than that you have

216
00:15:49,199 --> 00:15:55,839
until my hand gets too cold to hold this all right I already

217
00:15:53,279 --> 00:16:00,839
failed you know who never fails our sponsor MSI looking for a GPU for your

218
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:07,160
next build guess what you can actually buy them now haha check out the MSI RTX

219
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:09,759
370 TI Ventus 3x8 gooc it's powered by

220
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:14,440
NVIDIA's ampure architecture and has 8 gigs of gddr6 memory with Boost clocks

221
00:16:11,959 --> 00:16:20,480
up to 18800 MHz it's got three DisplayPort 1.4 a ports and an HDMI 2.1 Port

222
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:24,360
plus three of their Torx 3.0 fans coupled with a beefy heat sink to keep

223
00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:28,560
your temperatures low their zero frozer technology turns your fans off while the

224
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:32,199
system is not underload and a custom brush metal back plate helps provide a

225
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:35,800
clean look on top of all that it has a three-year warranty you can learn more

226
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:38,839
at the link down below if you guys want to know if this still works we're going

227
00:16:37,079 --> 00:16:42,360
to have a Floatplane.com exclusive where we find out the answer could very

228
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:45,920
well be no I legitimately don't know if you enjoyed this video you guys can

229
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,839
follow spave and his exploits at the links down below and if you're looking

230
00:16:47,319 --> 00:16:54,279
for something else to watch maybe check out our most extreme air cooled PC yeah

231
00:16:52,240 --> 00:17:02,480
where we hooked a computer tower up to the most powerful fan we could find and

232
00:16:56,399 --> 00:17:02,480
a wind tunnel it was pretty dumb yeah
