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

00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:10.000
stuff like that in order to determine which one is better but no one ever

00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:14.799
really compares the difference in their stock coolers so if you have an option

00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:19.720
between coolers which should you choose let's find out also stay subscribed for

00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:21.960
other seemingly random videos from Linus Tech

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

00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:42.120
learn more now so we started by sourcing the stock coolers I acquired three

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:45.360
offerings from AMD a standard cooler with a copper slug in the middle a

00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:49.960
standard cooler without a copper slug in the middle and a heat pipe based cooler

00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:53.079
with a larger copper base from Intel I actually only have one cooler it's their

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:57.840
little one that they've been shipping for quite some time which also Sports a

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

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

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

00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:16.880
platform so there might even be some modifications going on to fit the AMD

00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:20.360
CPUs onto the Intel platform all I really had to do was create two zap

00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:24.560
strap loops and fed them through the motherboard through the existing holes

00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:27.880
and while this wasn't exactly elegant I actually didn't really interfere with

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

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:34.960
do this on your own I would highly recommend a proper base and using the

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:39.520
mounting hardware from maybe a different cooler and modifying it to your needs

00:01:37.360 --> 00:01:43.560
the Intel cooler was an different Beast entirely due to the clip-like feet these

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:47.200
feet stopped the cooler from being able to make a connection with the CPU as

00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:50.960
they stood off from the motherboard therefore they were removed in the name

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:56.159
of science the Intel heat sinks fan Clips on using the longer parts of its

00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:57.600
leg which is an issue but thankfully the

00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:01.600
base of the actual metal where the copper slug is is actually taller than

00:02:00.039 --> 00:02:06.200
the rest of the unit so the first thing I removed was the fan mounting hardware

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:10.200
and the fan itself from the heat sink two of the mounting legs had additional

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

00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:18.920
that didn't have any additional clip and the other ones I removed the mounting

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:22.840
legs really quickly and then shaved them down as short as they could go while

00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:26.440
still having the clip attached and still being strong enough to hold on from

00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.920
there it was essentially the same as the AMD coolers in terms of mounting to the

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:34.360
motherboard so all the coolers are trapped in literally and we're ready to

00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:39.239
go The Benchmark we'll use is Ida 64 stability test which will which we have

00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:41.159
set up to test the CPU FPU cache and

00:02:39.239 --> 00:02:44.920
system memory this test will be ran for at least 10 minutes or longer depending

00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:48.680
on if the system seems to have hit a constant temperature or not and each

00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:54.239
cooler and CPU will be wiped clean with 99% isopropyl alcohol and toilet paper

00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:58.080
before every test I'm using IC Diamond thermal compound to remove variables as

00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:02.680
I would only be able to use the stock thermal paste on these coolers once once

00:03:00.519 --> 00:03:07.360
which makes it generally useless the results were rather expected bigger

00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:11.599
cooler does better and when size is similar the ones with copper slugs

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:15.440
outperform those without and the bigger cooler with the most copper in it and

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:19.239
the one that also had happened to have heat pipes did the best overall one

00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:24.000
thing to note is that the goal of this video is to compare the available stock

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:28.680
cooling solutions not which CPU has better thermal output that's a different

00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:31.280
story for another time in conclusion the coolers are kind of made for what

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

00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:40.840
should probably grab the AMD one either solution will definitely get the job

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

00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:48.360
take it this does draw upon another question however which I would love to

00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:53.799
dive into if you guys are interested is aftermarket cooling worth it for price

00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:55.920
per performance in early 2015 and if so

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

00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:04.400
you're there click the support us box link thing in the top right hand corner

and change your Amazon links to ours that'll help us out a lot especially

00:04:05.799 --> 00:04:11.159
with the weird YouTube changes that are going on lately you you can become a

00:04:09.640 --> 00:04:14.720
contributor to The Forum there is some cool stuff coming for those guys soon

00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:20.680
and if you're tired of the Forum and don't want to be over there because you're done commenting back on YouTube

00:04:18.359 --> 00:04:24.280
subscribe like dislike do all those things based on which cooler you like

00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.880
more I'm not going to tell you which option to choose depending on that but

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

00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.800
