00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.560
welcome back to the workshop last time we were here testing something I believe

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:08.719
it was how many case fans do you need and in what position today we're going

00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:12.480
to be doing another cooling investigation video this one is going to

00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:16.359
be based on cable management so we're going to look into uh how much it

00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:21.240
actually affects your cooling now there's a little bit of a problem here

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:25.160
which is where most cases these days are actually pretty damn good and have a lot

00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:28.519
of space behind the motherboard and have like very clear ways that you're

00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:34.280
supposed to Route the cables which isn't in places that would affect the cooler

00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:36.040
so you're probably fine but this is more

00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:40.079
of an investigation as a whole sometimes you'll see comments online where someone

00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:44.480
will be like your cooling's going to be terrible cuz you left a few cables going

00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:49.440
in front of those fans so we're going to check that out I don't know the answer

00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:49.440
yet let's test everything

00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:05.680
live Intel brings ddr4 to the main stream with their new core i76700 K and

00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:07.040
core i56600k processors check out the

00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:13.720
link in the video description to learn more okay so test one is going to be uh

00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:17.479
well pretty good in terms of cable management like this should be our

00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:21.680
Benchmark for clean Cable Management it's not the best that has ever been

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:25.200
done but it's at the point where I think it's not going to affect the cooling in

00:01:23.320 --> 00:01:30.520
any way so this is pretty bare in terms of setup for cooling we have a hyper 212

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:35.720
Evo finally I'm not putting it in a T4 and pretending it's a 212 Evo thank you

00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:37.439
atmt grimes5 on Twitter for sending this

00:01:35.720 --> 00:01:40.720
to me by the way emailed that to me directly cuz he was tired of me

00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:46.960
complaining about not having one so there's one fan on there there's one 140

00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:50.159
mm fan in the front there's a 140 mm fan

00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:53.159
in the back and there's two 120 mm fans

00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:56.479
in the top so this will be our base

00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:58.920
Benchmark for how this computer is able

00:01:56.479 --> 00:02:03.159
to perform with pretty good Cable Management we we will then record its

00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:07.039
numbers and then I'll start messing with the cables more and making it Messier

00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:10.520
and Messier and just see how far the rabbit hole goes so I've got the case

00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:14.599
all closed up and now I'm doing some testing so this is going to be run for

00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:19.120
about 10 minutes total I'm running furmark on the GPU and recording

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:23.519
temperatures of the GPU using MSI After Burner and then I'm doing a system

00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:28.480
stability test with ID to 64 in order to push the CPU so this should heat

00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:33.000
everything up and get us to a relatively hopefully High number

00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:38.319
um although this isn't a particularly hot graphics card and the hyper 212 Evo

00:02:36.440 --> 00:02:43.120
is probably going to do fine because nothing's actually overclocked and then

00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:47.280
uh we'll start throwing more cables in there and messing around okay so results

00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:52.280
of the first tests are in again this is more just a benchmark for the rest of

00:02:50.200 --> 00:02:58.800
the benchmarks this is where like okay there's no real cable obstructions going

00:02:54.360 --> 00:03:02.120
on so our CPU is at about 50° and our

00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:04.879
GPU is at about

00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:08.519
82° so we're going to document that make the cables a little bit worse and move

00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:13.879
on okay so I've added some cables I haven't added an insane amount of cables

00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:16.159
I have three big thick ones going across

00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:20.599
the front I have one going kind of through the middle and then I have one

00:03:18.239 --> 00:03:25.840
placed as a pseudo not very well-managed eight pin going like across over the

00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:29.159
power supply by the back of the CPU Cooler and then up to where the eight

00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:34.000
pin placement would be I don't expect this is going to fect much but I haven't

00:03:31.640 --> 00:03:38.200
tried it yet so let's figure it out okay so this one's good to go well okay let's

00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:42.720
be clear if you're building your own system don't leave your cable management

00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:48.400
that crappy but it's good to go for this test for what I need it to do right now

00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:50.959
so walking over to this screen I'm now

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:58.879
going to set the test back up so yet again fur Mark for the GPU stress test

00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:00.480
and then starting Ida 64 for the CPU

00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:05.200
another 10 minutes we'll record the numbers and see how it did see if it

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:09.799
actually affected anything I'm kind of thinking it won't or at least not very

00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:16.639
much so that did absolutely nothing 50° on the CPU still

00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:21.079
82° on the GPU we're going to have to make this Cable Management a lot worse

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:28.320
that's going to be the next step I'm going to add like maybe most of

00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:31.320
this and we'll see what happens side

00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:33.800
panel's on fur Mark is set up Ida 64 is

00:04:31.320 --> 00:04:37.960
already running this test is a go I know I've said this a few times already but

00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:41.600
if this doesn't produce a result there's probably not a ton that I can even do to

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:45.960
be completely honest and one of the results from this video might be if you

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:49.160
have a standard kind of Tower and cable management probably isn't that important

00:04:47.320 --> 00:04:52.560
if you have something like a no 202 or you have that bomb that I built for the

00:04:50.520 --> 00:04:55.639
Fallout build check that video up here then it probably matters because if

00:04:54.080 --> 00:04:59.360
you're completely blocking off all of the air inputs that'll be an issue but

00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:03.479
on a big case like this there's enough just open areas that the air is probably

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:09.160
going to flow um but who knows we'll see soon

00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:15.919
10-minute test okay so no change at all CPUs at 50

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:22.360
graphics cards at 82 so yeah seems like if you have a mid

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:25.520
Tower you're probably fine in terms of K management so we're just going to have

00:05:23.880 --> 00:05:31.280
some fun I'm going to put a Snoopy in there a twitch t-shirt a roll of tape an

00:05:28.919 --> 00:05:37.280
iron a Santa hat and maybe that'll do

00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:37.280
something

00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:45.479
God oops I don't know where I'm going to put

00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.479
all this

00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:52.960
stuff now if your cable management is so

00:05:50.280 --> 00:05:59.280
bad that you put a Snoopy of Santa hat and iron and a twitch t-shirt in your

00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:05.120
case we'll see how much that'll affect your airf flow system stability oh I

00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:10.680
forgot the tape it's okay while the tests are running I'm going to add the

00:06:07.400 --> 00:06:13.280
last part that I forgot to add which was

00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:17.120
the roll of tape I'm sure lonus is totally okay with all the things I'm

00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.120
doing right

00:06:17.880 --> 00:06:25.319
now nice um I don't know where I can put

00:06:27.880 --> 00:06:35.280
it that's probably fine

00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:38.520
that's okay that's probably okay now

00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:42.160
we're rocking roller tape Snoopy iron

00:06:38.520 --> 00:06:44.599
Santa hat twitch t-shirt let's do this

00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:48.880
tests are currently running let's see how they're going the CPU is currently

00:06:47.840 --> 00:06:57.120
at 50° and the GPU is currently at

00:06:54.319 --> 00:07:01.120
74 what the hell what

00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:09.319
okay okay so it's actually doing fine

00:07:05.440 --> 00:07:12.319
right now which is really

00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:13.919
concerning uh I guess we're going to

00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:19.440
leave it for 10 minutes and then we'll be back 50° on the

00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:24.599
CPU 82° on the GPU I put a shirt a Santa hat a Snoopy

00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:29.039
an iron and a giant roll of tape along with every single cable that came with a

00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:33.800
1200i into a case and it didn't affect anything

00:07:30.960 --> 00:07:37.560
thing next up is boxes I'm going to take all this stuff out maybe put some of it

00:07:35.479 --> 00:07:46.319
back in but use a lot of solid boxes to try to completely block off airflow

00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:46.319
Pathways I want some numbers to go

00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:55.199
up okay so we used the box for the CPU

00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:57.560
Cooler and we used boxes for a bunch of

00:07:55.199 --> 00:08:01.319
water coolers there's one under here or water blocks there's one under here

00:07:59.520 --> 00:08:04.840
there's one to support that and keep it where it is there's one blocking the top

00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:09.599
fans there's one blocking the black back fans so basically every single fan has a

00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:16.560
box currently trying to stop it from being able to work properly except for I

00:08:12.080 --> 00:08:19.120
guess this one there now there's a Santa

00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:24.800
hat screwing with that one now that we've done all this I'm going to put the

00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:26.599
case panel back wait hold up hold up

00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:31.159
hold up can move that out of the way all right I'm going to put the case panel

00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:35.440
back on I'm going to close this up I'm already

00:08:33.479 --> 00:08:39.399
running the tests I didn't even stop them because nothing's changed this

00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:44.240
whole freaking time so we're currently running furmark and currently running

00:08:41.599 --> 00:08:47.560
Ida 64 I'm going to come over here and see if there's been any immediate

00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:55.480
changes the GPU has not increased in temperature despite having a shirt

00:08:52.600 --> 00:09:01.920
shoved into it and a box under it but it looks like we have a slight in

00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:06.240
increase in CPU temperatures oh good we'll check back in

00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:13.120
10 minutes we did it by adding four boxes

00:09:09.640 --> 00:09:16.240
for water blocks one box for hyper 212

00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:19.040
Evo a T-shirt and a Santa hat

00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:24.959
effectively putting crap directly in front of every single fan there is we

00:09:21.920 --> 00:09:30.640
have gotten the CPU to about

00:09:24.959 --> 00:09:34.320
77° and we've gotten the GPU to 86°

00:09:30.640 --> 00:09:36.800
done so yes in the end it took four

00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:42.560
boxes for water blocks it took one box for a CP cooler it took a t-shirt a

00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:45.000
Santa hat and all of these

00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:51.480
cables in addition to the cables that were already inside which totals a pile

00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:53.079
that looks something like this placed

00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:57.880
into the computer in addition to the required components to heat it up so

00:09:56.160 --> 00:10:01.880
your bad cable management in your mid Tower is probably fine this didn't

00:09:59.880 --> 00:10:06.079
include tests for things like really really small cases or very specific

00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:10.600
builds like the bomb we have or something like a node 202 or like an

00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:16.120
rvz01 from Silverstone but yeah it's probably fine if your C

00:10:13.880 --> 00:10:21.240
management is bad but like I don't know how to word this because don't just use

00:10:19.680 --> 00:10:25.079
that as an excuse to have bad kill management we don't want ugly computers

00:10:23.079 --> 00:10:29.480
it's not a good idea don't post a build log on the Forum and go like lol Luke

00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:33.800
told me it was okay to have terrible Cable Management because it's not going

00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:36.680
to increase my thermals very

00:10:33.800 --> 00:10:45.360
much just do it properly everything will be fine apacer is giving away five

00:10:39.959 --> 00:10:46.519
apacer as 330 Panther 240 GB ssds for a

00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:52.920
chance to win check out the link in the video description Down Below on the lineus tech tips Forum also they' like

00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:57.240
me to call it their nox ddr4 sodm memory design for gaming Enthusiast Graphics

00:10:55.200 --> 00:11:03.600
designers and business users they're energy efficient consuming 1.2 volts and

00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:05.560
it can go up to 64 GB in their total kit

00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:10.560
capacity also they want me to call it the as720 SSD it's dual interface so you

00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:16.560
use it internally or externally it's at 120 GB or 240 GB that's USB type c or

00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:21.480
SATA internally if you want to do it that way thanks for watching this video

00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:25.760
it didn't really come out as I expected and I don't think the conclusion or what

00:11:23.680 --> 00:11:29.519
I had to do to get to the conclusion was necessarily what anyone expected but I

00:11:27.800 --> 00:11:36.000
hope you like watching consider supporting like the video if you liked it dislike if
