00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:09.120
since I uploaded my unboxing only yesterday there's been a ton of demand

00:00:06.359 --> 00:00:15.280
to do at least a couple benchmarks maybe some overclocking on the assus Aries so

00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:19.600
here it is installed in a core i7 test platform I'm running oops I'm tripping

00:00:17.560 --> 00:00:25.840
all over things I'm running 6 gigs of RAM over there I'm running a core i7

00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:29.400
980x 6 Core Extreme Edition processor

00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:31.119
and the assus Aries so I've got my three

00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:34.640
graphics card PCI Express power connectors plugged in two of these are

00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:37.719
eight pin one of them is a six pin so the other two pins are just hanging off

00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:42.719
the edge there if you listen you can hear that

00:00:40.360 --> 00:00:47.360
the fan is actually quite silent

00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:50.039
now I would love to use the ASUS smart

00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:54.000
doctor software and they'll probably fix this later but you can see right now it

00:00:52.079 --> 00:01:01.120
comes up with an error that says cannot find ASUS graphics card um so I'm G to

00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:05.640
be using afterburner so that one detects it properly graphics card assus Aries

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:09.479
driver version latest Catalyst drivers so just to give you some idea of how

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:13.759
this card runs Sorry my phone's going off there uh we're going to go ahead and

00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:17.799
okay so I'll let you listen to it at uh at default Auto speed so this is with

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:21.560
the fan speed at 20% and now I'm going to turn the fan

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:25.200
speed up to 100 just to get you give you some idea how high this thing can

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:32.520
go pretty impressive I I'll be surprised

00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:38.759
if you can actually even hear me very well that's right up there with uh GTX

00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:43.799
480 levels of uh noise production there is a significant amount of air flow

00:01:41.479 --> 00:01:48.600
coming out of either side of this card uh very very very

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:52.759
significant anyway let's turn that back to

00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:56.479
Auto there we go it ramps right back down so we're going to run 3D Mark

00:01:54.040 --> 00:02:00.799
Vantage see how loud it actually gets during The Benchmark here and what kind

00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:04.719
of scores we get out of this particular card and then we're going to overclock

00:02:02.399 --> 00:02:08.239
it and see how much we can improve it beyond

00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:12.280
that during The Benchmark run this is about what it sounds like uh the ambient

00:02:10.239 --> 00:02:17.760
temperatures in my office here are 26° C and I'm taking that temp from

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:23.599
right in front of the graphics C so you can easily compare that sound

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:26.080
level to the one that I had before with

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:31.120
uh with the card running at Auto at idle at the desktop as well as the 100% load

00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:36.360
it's not uh not rively loud although it is definitely definitely Audible and

00:02:33.959 --> 00:02:42.519
this is at a non overclocked setting okay the benchmark's done so at stock

00:02:38.440 --> 00:02:44.720
speeds with a 4 GHz core i7 980x CPU

00:02:42.519 --> 00:02:51.360
actually it's 3.99 something High not quite 4 GHz

00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:54.040
anyway we get about 30,000 marks in 3D

00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:57.840
marks so that's the performance preset and let's have a look at what we're

00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:04.920
seeing in terms of GPU temperatures so GPU 1 Peaks at around

00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:07.959
67° and my room is running at about just

00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:10.400
turn my temp prob back on give it a

00:03:07.959 --> 00:03:16.159
minute my room's running a little oh it's running give it a sec running about

00:03:13.239 --> 00:03:22.760
the same it's running at about 26° so we see it go as high as about 40 a 40°

00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:26.080
Delta up as high as 68 or so here uh GPU

00:03:22.760 --> 00:03:29.840
2 runs quite a bit cooler actually about

00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:32.000
10° cooler on GPU 2 um what I'm getting

00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:36.360
guing is that this is GPU 1 and this is GPU 2 because you can see the air flow

00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:40.480
comes out completely unrestricted from this side of the card but over here

00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:45.319
you've got this PCI back plate uh blocking it so you don't get as much uh

00:03:42.959 --> 00:03:50.640
as much air being vented out that way now in terms of everything else you can

00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:53.519
see GPU usage is as high as 99% on both

00:03:50.640 --> 00:03:58.000
and GPU fan speed oh that's interesting it doesn't seem to

00:03:54.920 --> 00:04:01.040
detect uh fan speed

00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:03.760
correctly in after Bur here for some

00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:10.799
reason because I know it went up higher than that let me see if I can

00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:12.280
um oh yeah no fan speed's just not um I

00:04:10.799 --> 00:04:16.919
can't even adjust it now I just did that a minute ago

00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:20.880
anyway I'll be back with more overclocking benchmarks thank you for

00:04:18.440 --> 00:04:26.120
checking out my video blog and uh I'll be updating you shortly actually oh here

00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:33.280
I should explain this the the 1.5 GHz is just because of uh speed step it goes up

00:04:28.440 --> 00:04:33.280
to 4 GHz as soon as you do anything here

00:04:37.039 --> 00:04:41.360
example there you go
