00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,040
welcome back to the workshop set this is going to turn into a segment but I'll

2
00:00:03,639 --> 00:00:09,719
cover that in a moment first off right now today we're going to be looking at

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:13,599
if really high wattage power supplies actually use more power than a power

4
00:00:11,799 --> 00:00:19,240
supply that's tuned for your computer that means power from the wall so what

5
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:22,800
we have is a 450 W power supply a 750 W

6
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:25,400
power supply a 1200 W power supply and a

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:31,640
1,500 W power supply we're going to run our 5930k and a 980 TI through some

8
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:35,840
stress tests using Ida 64 system stability test and furmark just to get

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,200
the wattage up there and then test each power supply read the wattage from the

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:43,440
wall figure out what's going on it's a very straightforward answer the question

11
00:00:41,239 --> 00:00:47,239
Style video and that's what the workshop is going to turn into I've been kind of

12
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:50,760
grappling with what I wanted this to be over the last few videos that I've done

13
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:55,000
in the workshop that being and you can check these out up here the where should

14
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:59,239
case fans be or how many case fans do you need video and does your cable

15
00:00:56,879 --> 00:01:02,399
management actually affect your thermals throughout your face video there's going

16
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:07,759
to be more of these there's already one on the schedule coming up soon if you guys have ones that you might want me to

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:11,560
cover live testing things in front of you guys on the workshop set in the

18
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:15,479
future hit me up on Twitter or comment in the the comment section down below my

19
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:21,799
Twitter should be on screen but just in case it's @ lukor LFR I'd love to answer

20
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:31,400
whatever crazy things you'd like me to try to figure out

21
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:38,159
Intel brings ddr4 to the mainstream with their new core

22
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,200
i76700k and core i56600k processors

23
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:44,280
check out the link in the video description to learn more hello everyone

24
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:48,159
this is future Luke uh this is Luke from further on in the video and I'm

25
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:51,520
wondering right now if you guys would be interested in a little experiment

26
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:56,039
there's going to be a straw pole link somewhere and I want you guys to vote

27
00:01:53,840 --> 00:02:00,399
before you see the rest of the video which power supply you think is going to

28
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:04,520
win which one is going to use the least wattage from the wall to power this

29
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:09,560
computer in this scenario let me know I'm interested what

30
00:02:07,479 --> 00:02:13,160
do you think so we're going to start off with the power supply that was already

31
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:17,280
in this test rig this is my standard graphics card test rig this is way too

32
00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:21,360
much wattage potentially on the power supply so this is a little bit

33
00:02:19,519 --> 00:02:24,680
overshooting it so after that what I think I'm probably going to do is step

34
00:02:22,599 --> 00:02:30,080
it down a little bit go to the 750 then the 450 then do the 1500i after that

35
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:34,280
we're going to wait few minutes just to make sure that the power stabilizes

36
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:40,560
maybe 3 to 5 minutes and then we will read the power wattage reader from the

37
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:42,120
wall That's plugged in back here so I

38
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:46,720
decided to change what test we were using I went back to my old school tried

39
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:54,239
andrue Crisis 3 Skybox test because using Ida 64's system stability test and

40
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:57,440
furmark gave me variations of about 374

41
00:02:54,239 --> 00:03:00,840
to about 405 so I'm going to continue

42
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:02,680
onwards this is 351 Plus orus 3 seems to

43
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:08,519
be pretty accurate within that range next up is the 450 W power

44
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,799
supply let's see it's it's within range

45
00:03:08,519 --> 00:03:18,239
I'm just wondering how much watts it's going to use how many watts it's going to use English wasn't supposed to be a

46
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:24,040
troubleshooting video

47
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:26,319
huh oh so the monitor's power was

48
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:30,280
unplugged that almost freaked me out all right here we go time to load up Crisis

49
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:35,000
3 again do the sky boox test get our second set

50
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:39,920
of numbers so the variance on the 450 watt was

51
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:42,400
364 plus or minus 4 so a little bit more

52
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:46,519
of a variance window there and more wattage but there's another interesting

53
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:52,000
thing to look at here when you step up in power supplies your 80 plus rating

54
00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:54,120
almost always goes up our 450 W power

55
00:03:52,000 --> 00:04:01,400
supply is bronze this next one I'm going to test the 750 W is gold the 1200i is

56
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:03,840
platinum the 1500i is titanium 80 plus

57
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:08,040
rating they're more efficient we'll get more into the efficiency talk a little

58
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:12,159
bit later on but for now time to step up to the

59
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:18,639
750 all right our tests with the v750 are done and the results were

60
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:21,440
345 Watts plus or minus one that's our

61
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:26,520
lowest wattage amount yet but not our highest 80 plus efficiency rating on the

62
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:30,840
power supply because just the rating is not the only thing that matters let's

63
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:33,360
try the 1500i that's it's the titanium

64
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:39,280
rated 80 plus power supply just look at it it requires a

65
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:43,840
proprietary cable it's all about efficiency curves

66
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:48,720
we're probably not going to land on the right spot one of the cool things about

67
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:54,960
these videos is if you watch it and you're like oh my goodness you did this

68
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:57,479
one specific thing in a way that I don't

69
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:04,680
think is right for this test cool tell me in the comments I'll

70
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:07,199
do a video and we'll see if it matters

71
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:12,120
this whole series is about like answering questions that people might

72
00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:13,280
have or exploring different things all

73
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:18,280
right so our last power supply is installed the X1 1500i is set up and

74
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:23,400
good to go if you guys thought I was rough on it check out one of these

75
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:27,440
videos where we massively abuse Corsair ax power supplies it's not because we

76
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:34,160
dislike them it's mainly cuz they can take it all right let's run our last Sky

77
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:38,680
Box test so the 1500i came down to 340

78
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:41,440
wat plus or minus 3 it won in terms of

79
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:47,960
their positions the 450 watt was in last place then the 1200i then the 750 watt

80
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:50,759
then the 1500 eye little bit confusing

81
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:55,120
why you might ask it comes down to efficiency charts which is actually

82
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:59,759
listed on all of these power supplies which is great cuz it makes it really

83
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:02,840
easy for visuals the titanium rated 1500

84
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:06,160
IE its peak efficiency on American plugs

85
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:09,160
so 115 is at about

86
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:11,240
94% for instance if we move down to that

87
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:16,280
bronze rated one its peak efficiency on North American plugs is around

88
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:20,919
85% it limits things it doesn't mean that you can't be very efficient on a

89
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:24,199
say bronze rated power supply it just means that to be very efficient you're

90
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:28,199
going to need to be right on The Sweet Spot of the curve and something like a

91
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,840
titanium power supply you're pretty much always going to be pretty damn efficient

92
00:06:29,599 --> 00:06:36,479
but it will be better if you're at The Sweet Spot of the curve and then that 750 watt had a little bit of an

93
00:06:34,479 --> 00:06:42,240
irregular curve it was a little bit earlier on where it peaked where most of

94
00:06:38,919 --> 00:06:44,759
them were peaking right around 50% so

95
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:49,440
efficiency matters 80 plus is a rating of efficiency but you want to know where

96
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:52,759
you are on the curve that also matters find The Sweet Spot for the power supply

97
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:56,840
that you're buying and try to make sure that you're in it to save money on your

98
00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:02,879
power bill but ultimately do higher wattage power supplies use more power no

99
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:08,039
that no they don't crun roll is a site created by

our previous video where we checked out

120
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:30,159
uh how Cable Management affects your air flow looking at mine you might be able

121
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:36,120
to figure out that it it maybe didn't matter a ton but I'd go watch it anyways

122
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,120
cuz it's actually kind of funny
