if you're looking into a processor there's loads of references you can check out for performance breakdowns and

2
00:00:04,839 --> 00:00:10,000
stuff like that in order to determine which one is better but no one ever

3
00:00:08,519 --> 00:00:14,799
really compares the difference in their stock coolers so if you have an option

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:19,720
between coolers which should you choose let's find out also stay subscribed for

during Intel's president week sale February 22nd to March 1st 2015 click to

8
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:42,120
learn more now so we started by sourcing the stock coolers I acquired three

9
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:45,360
offerings from AMD a standard cooler with a copper slug in the middle a

10
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:49,960
standard cooler without a copper slug in the middle and a heat pipe based cooler

11
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,079
with a larger copper base from Intel I actually only have one cooler it's their

12
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,840
little one that they've been shipping for quite some time which also Sports a

13
00:00:55,879 --> 00:01:04,320
copper slug in the middle for platforms I'll be using a stock AMD A10 800k and a

14
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:08,920
4790k I'll be testing each CPU Cooler on both CPUs so the mounting is going to

15
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:12,600
get get a little bit ghetto here and they're not super designed to go on each

16
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:16,880
platform so there might even be some modifications going on to fit the AMD

17
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:20,360
CPUs onto the Intel platform all I really had to do was create two zap

18
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:24,560
strap loops and fed them through the motherboard through the existing holes

19
00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:27,880
and while this wasn't exactly elegant I actually didn't really interfere with

20
00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:31,000
the cooler all that much and it was relatively easy to do if you were to do

21
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,960
do this on your own I would highly recommend a proper base and using the

22
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:39,520
mounting hardware from maybe a different cooler and modifying it to your needs

23
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:43,560
the Intel cooler was an different Beast entirely due to the clip-like feet these

24
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:47,200
feet stopped the cooler from being able to make a connection with the CPU as

25
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,960
they stood off from the motherboard therefore they were removed in the name

26
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:56,159
of science the Intel heat sinks fan Clips on using the longer parts of its

27
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,600
leg which is an issue but thankfully the

28
00:01:56,159 --> 00:02:01,600
base of the actual metal where the copper slug is is actually taller than

29
00:02:00,039 --> 00:02:06,200
the rest of the unit so the first thing I removed was the fan mounting hardware

30
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:10,200
and the fan itself from the heat sink two of the mounting legs had additional

31
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,760
clips for attaching to the heat sink and two didn't I completely cut off the ones

32
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:18,920
that didn't have any additional clip and the other ones I removed the mounting

33
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,840
legs really quickly and then shaved them down as short as they could go while

34
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,440
still having the clip attached and still being strong enough to hold on from

35
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,920
there it was essentially the same as the AMD coolers in terms of mounting to the

36
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:34,360
motherboard so all the coolers are trapped in literally and we're ready to

37
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:39,239
go The Benchmark we'll use is Ida 64 stability test which will which we have

38
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:41,159
set up to test the CPU FPU cache and

39
00:02:39,239 --> 00:02:44,920
system memory this test will be ran for at least 10 minutes or longer depending

40
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:48,680
on if the system seems to have hit a constant temperature or not and each

41
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:54,239
cooler and CPU will be wiped clean with 99% isopropyl alcohol and toilet paper

42
00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:58,080
before every test I'm using IC Diamond thermal compound to remove variables as

43
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:02,680
I would only be able to use the stock thermal paste on these coolers once once

44
00:03:00,519 --> 00:03:07,360
which makes it generally useless the results were rather expected bigger

45
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:11,599
cooler does better and when size is similar the ones with copper slugs

46
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:15,440
outperform those without and the bigger cooler with the most copper in it and

47
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,239
the one that also had happened to have heat pipes did the best overall one

48
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:24,000
thing to note is that the goal of this video is to compare the available stock

49
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:28,680
cooling solutions not which CPU has better thermal output that's a different

50
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:31,280
story for another time in conclusion the coolers are kind of made for what

51
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:37,680
platform they're going on but if you have an option between an AMD and Intel CPU Cooler regardless of your CPU you

52
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:40,840
should probably grab the AMD one either solution will definitely get the job

53
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,599
done if you're just running at stock but if you have the option you might as well

54
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:48,360
take it this does draw upon another question however which I would love to

55
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:53,799
dive into if you guys are interested is aftermarket cooling worth it for price

56
00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:55,920
per performance in early 2015 and if so

57
00:03:53,799 --> 00:04:00,560
how much should you really invest let me know if this is something you're interested over on the Forum while

63
00:04:18,359 --> 00:04:24,280
subscribe like dislike do all those things based on which cooler you like

64
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,880
more I'm not going to tell you which option to choose depending on that but

65
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:33,809
you'll figure it out anyways guys thanks for watching and I'll see you next time
