WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.200 we were thinking you know it would be so cool if we tried to overclock at the 00:00:03.959 --> 00:00:12.360 North Pole but the North Pole is very cold very far away but what isn't is our 00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:19.920 environmental test chamber with the ability to go all the way from 180° cus 00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:22.519 to -40 we can test everything from your 00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:29.599 Nan's cookie recipe to a computer at the North Pole so let's see just how fast a 00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:32.239 PC can go at -40° and uh if it can even 00:00:29.599 --> 00:00:36.520 survive Sur what will survive is this segue to our sponsor build Redux are you 00:00:34.879 --> 00:00:39.559 in the market for a new rig Pick Your Parts and let build Redux take care of 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.960 the rest with competitive pricing compared to building a PC yourself build 00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:46.280 Redux will have your dream rig shipped to your door ready to do all kinds of 00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:51.120 computery things so check them out at the link down below before we can take 00:00:47.879 --> 00:00:53.480 the chamber down to -40° and Chuck a PC 00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:59.519 in it we first need to heat it up see here's the thing at -40 condensation is 00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:02.840 going to be a really big problem and although in the near future we're going 00:01:01.160 --> 00:01:06.799 to have humidity control in our environmental chamber we don't yet have 00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:12.720 the air compressor that's required for us to do that so instead what we can do 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:17.799 is just heat the chamber up to remove all the moisture from the air and then 00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:21.799 cool it down now since we needed to have the chamber heated up anyway we were 00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:27.920 curious what would the performance of a PC look like if you were to take it out 00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:30.560 of a comfortable room temperature woo oh 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:35.720 that's spicy fast fast fast put it oh sorry sorry I'm putting it in I'm 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:40.399 putting it in and put it at an insane 00:01:35.720 --> 00:01:42.040 49.4 de C the alltime Canadian record 00:01:40.399 --> 00:01:47.280 for highest temperature recorded in Linton 2 years ago let's get this thing 00:01:44.520 --> 00:01:51.439 hooked up I did not Orient it correctly so yeah we also need cables and stuff 00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:55.079 it's a whole thing okay let's do it I mean that'll probably do right we can 00:01:53.439 --> 00:02:00.680 just take the squid over there we got this we also need to go we can't just go 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:07.320 straight in we need to go over the this down do a loop and then in the reason 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:09.239 for that is that not now but later we 00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:13.599 have a lot of potential for condensation to form around here and potentially drip 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:17.800 down our cables and we don't want it to get onto anything that matters we want 00:02:15.640 --> 00:02:23.360 it to just drip down here or on the floor this bucket okay so this poor 00:02:20.200 --> 00:02:26.200 computer is running at 50° right now oh 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:30.080 shut up there's a whole like web interface for it that I mean that makes 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:35.040 sense but yeah so you can fully control from here program in routines and stuff 00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:39.280 and also see like oh we open the door there and we open the door there wow it 00:02:36.760 --> 00:02:44.400 actually loses less temperature than I would have thought yeah it wasn't too 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:48.599 bad our poor CPU is sitting at 00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:50.319 75° right now doing nothing and what's 00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:55.040 really wild is that these temperatures aren't even unrealistic if you lived in 00:02:52.959 --> 00:02:59.840 one of the hottest regions in India for example you could see temperatures close 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:02.599 to this on a fairly regular basis in the in the summer what what's our what's our 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:07.319 planned load like should I just cin bench it real quick instant thermal 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:08.640 throttle and our poor CPU is running at 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:15.560 a mere 4.14 4.13 I mean it's well above base 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:17.879 clock which is kind of impressive oh 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:22.040 it's it did a burning test okay okay let's see we're at 4.02 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:29.879 3.99 man what's everything else looking like surprisingly the motherboard vrms 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:35.799 are still very reasonable good job Gigabyte I guess GPU idling at 52 which 00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:41.319 is impressive when it's sitting in a 50.6 de C chamber wow it dipped as low 00:03:39.640 --> 00:03:46.480 as 3.94 3.93 that explains why the motherboard 00:03:43.799 --> 00:03:50.120 vrms aren't getting hot oh yeah there's no power they're not pushing any power 00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:55.079 through them now that we've heated up our CPU let's get an actual score for 00:03:53.079 --> 00:04:00.720 reference I would expect 36,000 on a computer like this we are 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:02.840 not getting 36,000 sir I will eat my 00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:08.560 sandal if we get 36,000 33,000 points but how will NVIDIA 00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:14.280 Faire fer Mark you want to do fur Mark in f mark oh my God uh I want to run 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:19.440 like 2560 X 1440 that's pretty good for stress test Forex antus sing 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:25.759 go now what we're looking at on an NVIDIA GPU is not the temperature 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:28.360 because it's not going to go over 80 85° 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:33.000 they're hard limited what we're looking at is the effective clock speed because 00:04:31.479 --> 00:04:37.720 they will just Throttle Down their performance to match whatever they can 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:42.440 do within that thermal Target it's doing pretty well it's doing pretty well so 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:48.280 far the one time that 4090 cooler is needed that fan is running at 90% though 00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:51.880 we can't hear it over all the sound around us but that thing must be 00:04:50.520 --> 00:04:55.720 freaking ripping okay I want to know can can I 00:04:54.160 --> 00:05:00.039 crack it yeah go can I crack it just to hear it okay come on come on 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:06.440 W she's going it's hard to tell but 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:13.440 she's definitely going it's not in real time so it might take a minute or two to 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:17.759 show up but yeah we we lost a bit here 00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:22.560 wow Alex our fan speed isn't even 100% 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:24.319 this thing is handling it this is how we 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:29.280 had a whole plan for this video where we were going to show like dog slow 00:05:26.520 --> 00:05:33.479 performance at 50° on the GPU and then we were going to ramp it down to like 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:41.720 you know the average Arctic temperature in Canada -40 and show how it's like 00:05:37.479 --> 00:05:44.800 yeah lot it's doing it what the heck 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:47.960 okay these coolers are so 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:51.160 overpacked hold on a second 00:05:47.960 --> 00:05:54.039 4090 specs Founders okay this isn't a 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:58.520 Founders card this is um looks like yeah it's an ASUS stricks card but 00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:04.520 realistically they're all going to have fairly similar environmental condition 00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:06.800 ratings I cannot find any reference to a 00:06:04.520 --> 00:06:10.880 safe environmental operating temperature for the RTX 4090 I guess we're off the 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:14.759 rails for the rest of this video all right I want to take this down 00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:17.759 to minus 40 it does kind of make sense that it can do this cuz if you think 00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:22.759 about like a computer case you might expect it to be in 35° you're pumping 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:27.840 450 watts into it for a while if the air flow isn't too great inside of the case 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:33.800 it might be getting to 50 very well be 51 degre over ambient but good freaking 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:36.599 job ASUS jeez flipping gears then modern 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:42.520 CPUs particularly from Intel don't even operate at Peak efficiency at room 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:45.720 temperature so we are expecting ah yes a 00:06:42.520 --> 00:06:48.199 very very different outcome almost 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:53.360 immediately we dropped from 200 Watts down to 190 and the lower that power 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:57.360 consumption is the less of our total potential performance that we're getting 00:06:55.400 --> 00:07:03.120 it's already dropped a full gigahertz of clock speed that is one millions of 00:07:00.400 --> 00:07:07.400 clock speed oh wow yeah this is still dropping we can give it a tiny bit 00:07:05.080 --> 00:07:11.000 longer sure now you said that until we have our compressed air setup here we 00:07:09.479 --> 00:07:16.280 are not going to be able to control humidity I mean obviously for wetting 00:07:14.039 --> 00:07:21.080 the air we've got this water tank so I guess the compressed air plays a role in 00:07:18.440 --> 00:07:27.199 drying the air yeah the compressed air goes into these desant chummies right 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:32.120 here okay are there you get dry air out all good I see so it'll basically to go 00:07:29.840 --> 00:07:36.520 oh no it needs to be wetter so it needs to be drier and that's pretty much it 00:07:34.960 --> 00:07:40.960 but you need quite a bit of pressure and a lot of CFM to blast all the air 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:45.680 through so we need a big air compressor got it this seems to be settled in we 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:51.120 went from an average clock speed of 4.7 GHz all the way down to 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:53.599 3.55 and our power is down from over 200 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:58.919 watts to just 10060 now it's time to pull our 00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:03.800 temperature down to the average Arctic temperature in the winter here in Canada 00:08:01.400 --> 00:08:09.280 okay I hear her doing something hey buddy you okay in there now there's a 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:13.199 lot of leakage so that's probably just 00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:17.479 the air blowing past the compressor 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:18.759 oh okay which we can look at oh also in 00:08:17.479 --> 00:08:23.960 the time that it took you to go from over there to here we dropped 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:25.879 10° really I thought you said it was 00:08:23.960 --> 00:08:29.840 going to take half an hour to pull down I guess it gets harder to pull down once 00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:33.000 the environmental temperature is higher than what it's trying to do yeah look 00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:39.880 just wow wow there goes another one they're 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:44.160 biting the dust and another one got yeah sorry okay 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:51.360 woo holy shnikes I underestimated the size of 00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:55.000 that compressor wait is this a two-stage 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:57.160 system it looks like it but no it's not 00:08:55.000 --> 00:09:01.120 we thought we had two stages of phase change cooling one to cool down the 00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:05.440 chamber and one to cool down that stage but what we're actually looking at here 00:09:02.959 --> 00:09:10.519 is a gigantic 3 and 1/2 horsepower scroll compressor and then a couple of 00:09:07.880 --> 00:09:14.640 accumulator tanks that seem to play a role in drying the refrigerant so 00:09:12.959 --> 00:09:18.240 removing any moisture which can't be compressed and also filtering it so that 00:09:16.959 --> 00:09:22.880 it can operate as efficiently as possible shout out Jake Dan for helping 00:09:20.160 --> 00:09:28.880 us read the schematics is our CPU seriously still at 100° on an OCT to 00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:32.160 hd15 it's actually really confusing 00:09:28.880 --> 00:09:35.440 because around like 15° C it was doing 00:09:32.160 --> 00:09:37.839 pretty good and now the clock speeds are 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:43.480 dropping and so is the wattage so I wonder if like our thermal paste has 00:09:40.640 --> 00:09:49.320 frozen oh it's been at 100° the whole time we might have just Frozen our heat 00:09:46.800 --> 00:09:55.560 pipes uh wait did it just crash welcome 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:58.360 back the land of the living the gpus at 00:09:55.560 --> 00:10:02.640 16° on the memory I really want to check it for condensation but I don't really 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:09.000 want to open up the door and add in a bunch of condensation see this warm air 00:10:05.839 --> 00:10:10.880 when it touches the cold stuff will 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:16.200 immediately have the moisture drawn out of it where it will collect on the cold 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:20.480 stuff do we continue with this computer no I think it's time for us to 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:24.760 take it to another level this is where things get really spicy because remember 00:10:22.959 --> 00:10:29.800 that part we mentioned about how when we open it up the warm air condensation Etc 00:10:28.040 --> 00:10:33.279 we need to find a way to to swap components on this bench without 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:39.600 destroying it we're going to have to be really fast okay and once it's running 00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:43.480 through maybe it'll be fine if it's just 00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.480 sitting in there it's going to freeze 00:10:45.839 --> 00:10:53.560 right I'm so sorry deep cool thank you for sending us your all-in-one liquid 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:56.079 cooler I don't know I we just going to wing it let's just open it up and see 00:10:54.800 --> 00:10:59.639 what happens we're just going to wing it h okay 00:10:59.959 --> 00:11:06.720 currently - 35 freaking cold okay this 00:11:03.680 --> 00:11:08.440 is bad it is condensing already Alex 00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:13.200 this is very bad yes all right that's off also is the 00:11:10.839 --> 00:11:18.639 computer on right now why is the computer on oh my God it's frosting over 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:24.560 it's frosting over already Alex turn the computer off close the door a bit let's 00:11:21.040 --> 00:11:27.000 get yeah more more more oh my God it's 00:11:24.560 --> 00:11:31.639 really bad sorry Andrew you got to oh my God this is so cold we're just going to 00:11:29.079 --> 00:11:35.880 get get the hardware after oh this is bad you got to close it more close it 00:11:33.920 --> 00:11:43.440 more shoot me through the window just I'm in here I'm in here it's 00:11:39.680 --> 00:11:46.839 fine okay I need the back 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:49.040 plate oh my goodness this she's Frosty 00:11:46.839 --> 00:11:55.959 Alex I can tell where's the other where's the old 00:11:51.160 --> 00:11:58.079 back plate oh fell off okay okay you got 00:11:55.959 --> 00:12:04.079 it I have the old back plate there there's the new one yep oh 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:10.399 my God that's cold oh crap this is bad very bad oh it's so cold okay so just a 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:16.680 second okay I need to hold this back plate on I think yeah there it goes okay 00:12:13.920 --> 00:12:24.000 good work here we go oh my gosh oh sorry I just LEL you in 00:12:20.079 --> 00:12:26.680 the head yes oh sorry that's fine okay 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:30.519 is it theoretically ready to power up okay we got to close it Alex you can't 00:12:28.079 --> 00:12:37.360 organize part wear in a little tray have you gone mad sir uh so the 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:39.920 power button's in there oh B oh God it's 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:46.000 at 92% humidity Alex why did we change the cooler 00:12:43.839 --> 00:12:51.120 mid I'm just here to hold the door for you um it's content don't blow up my 00:12:48.560 --> 00:12:55.000 chamber please what we should have done was brought it back up to room 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:59.240 temperature then pulled it down again it does appear that lonus was right and 00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:04.399 there is no more Frost all over our computer our aiio might be 00:13:01.880 --> 00:13:09.279 frozen but it should be fine you may remember this computer from our direct 00:13:06.199 --> 00:13:12.240 die cooling video recently well it still 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:16.279 got the same direct D water block on it but instead of using an industrial 00:13:14.079 --> 00:13:20.680 Chiller to pump fluid through the loop we're going to be running this inside 00:13:18.040 --> 00:13:24.760 our air Chiller uh yeah I was wondering about that so instead of using Straight 00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:30.600 water we are apparently wait is this windshield decer or is this an ah 00:13:27.880 --> 00:13:34.440 perfect I expect some problems problem number the first this doesn't seem like 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:40.160 a lot of glycol problem number the second glycol when it reaches certain 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:44.760 temperatures gets quite V viscous and this is just a PC cooling pump this is 00:13:42.160 --> 00:13:51.279 not your car's cooling pump have we crossed the line from fun to stupid no 00:13:49.160 --> 00:13:55.600 what would be stupid is if we didn't use this tray because if the water from our 00:13:52.920 --> 00:13:59.800 computer gets onto that and they Common Ground we blow up both of them don't 00:13:57.839 --> 00:14:02.279 worry everything's fine I didn't think it wasn't but now I'm concerned no 00:14:01.560 --> 00:14:09.160 they're fine I'm now everything's fine I'm 00:14:06.079 --> 00:14:11.920 leaving in 5 minutes and now I'm as 00:14:09.160 --> 00:14:16.120 intended thank you the test chamber will work when you arrive 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:20.600 tomorrow oh wow this is just clear antifreeze GL GL 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:25.920 GL wait did we ever plug in the pump for the AIO in there yes but also it's not 00:14:22.959 --> 00:14:32.759 working so well maybe the pump's working but either way uh we're at 115 wats 00:14:28.800 --> 00:14:36.959 right now now 100° on the CPU so uh it 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:40.320 turns out AIO in uh - 00:14:36.959 --> 00:14:43.199 33° not a good time are you prepared for 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:48.440 a very cold looking computer oh ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch you doing all right 00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:51.560 yep wow that's very cold this will need 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:53.440 to sit for a solid day or two before it 00:14:51.560 --> 00:14:59.079 would be safe to fire up at this point even the air inside the CPU socket would 00:14:56.680 --> 00:15:04.920 have enough moisture in it that left leg like this it would be a major concern 00:15:02.680 --> 00:15:09.480 for it to be just pulled up in there how much glycol did you get in there I don't 00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:13.160 know I have absolutely no way of knowing yeah it'll probably be fine all right it 00:15:11.680 --> 00:15:19.600 seems like not fine is kind of the theme of this video though all 00:15:16.920 --> 00:15:25.639 right um that's a lot of liquid metal right how the crap are we going to get 00:15:21.920 --> 00:15:27.160 that off Oh serious okay I guess we 00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:32.000 haven't actually explained in this video certain thermal compounds will perform 00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:35.720 worse at lower temperatures and for those of you who are wondering what we 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:40.000 are seriously using this equipment for that's actually the closest thing to it 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:43.680 out of what you've seen so far is figuring out like validating 00:15:41.800 --> 00:15:49.959 manufacturer's claims about the safe operating temperatures of their 00:15:45.560 --> 00:15:49.959 equipment okay we going for it 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:59.519 yep wow this is a very hard cable to move this feels like being in an Arctic 00:15:55.680 --> 00:16:02.880 wind yes it very much does oh my God 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:02.880 come on come 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:09.720 on okay oh yes yes yes yes yes we've got 00:16:06.680 --> 00:16:11.920 output okay so here's the thing when we 00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:17.160 were using the industrial Chiller obviously actually it has a very similar 00:16:14.160 --> 00:16:20.079 cooling capacity about 5,000 Watts yeah 00:16:17.160 --> 00:16:27.440 but the chiller is gated it won't go under 5° on the coolant theoretically 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:31.240 with -40° air our traditional water 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:33.639 cooler could go below 5° we're not 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:38.600 expecting it to Simply turn to solid ice immediately what we would hope to notice 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:43.519 though is if it was starting to solidify around the edges I think I'm starting to 00:16:41.160 --> 00:16:48.160 see a little bit of freezing on some of the tubes it might just be external 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:52.279 seriously Oh no you're right holy crap that's a problem if it's around the 00:16:49.920 --> 00:16:55.839 outside it's not too bad I don't it's around the inside I don't think it's the 00:16:53.959 --> 00:17:00.959 outside I think it's the inside how's our CPU doing 100° at the entrance to 00:16:59.160 --> 00:17:05.839 that radiator there's already ice the wildest thing is that that might 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:13.000 have been because of CPU over temperature it was only at like 80 Watts 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:14.600 on the CPU and 100° like that could have 00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:20.400 actually been our problem and I don't know why if you guys enjoyed this video 00:17:17.600 --> 00:17:26.360 you I obviously like watching us goof around so why not the most extreme Air 00:17:23.959 --> 00:17:32.000 cooling setup yeah we haven't thrown to that in a while it's a good one it's a 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:34.919 classic woo oh she's cold whoa did you 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:34.919 hear that 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:43.280 yeah well the answer to how much antifreeze was in there is oh it's 00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:43.280 really cold not enough
