00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,560
when a gaming PC shows up in a giant Pelican case we always know there's

2
00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:12,320
going to be some kind of cool gimmick but the problem is a lot of the time

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:20,160
they end up being all Flash no dash this one is the exact freaking

4
00:00:16,439 --> 00:00:24,160
opposite this was hand tuned by the one

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:27,359
and only Alan spave gers such one of the

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:30,920
world's top overclockers and the gimmick

7
00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:33,160
here is

8
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:39,079
anyway the gimmick here if you could even call it that is that every possible

9
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:42,559
dial every knob every bell every whistle

10
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:45,719
has already been perfectly tuned to make

11
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:48,280
this the absolute fastest gaming

12
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:55,399
computer that money can buy how much money you ask it's so much that he

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:58,120
doesn't even know well I for one cannot

14
00:00:55,399 --> 00:01:02,879
wait to take it for a spin now let's spin over to our sponsor

15
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:07,479
glass wire instantly see who or what your PC is talking to on glass wire's

16
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:12,479
network monitoring graph plus see what your computer may have connected to in

17
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:14,360
the past use code Linus and get 25% off

18
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:19,280
at the link below right out of the gate there are some unexpected design choices

19
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:24,159
here starting of course with cooling the Keen item on you might have noticed that

20
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:32,799
there is no water cooling anywhere instead what we've got is a bank of 3

21
00:01:26,759 --> 00:01:36,200
140 mm 2 180 mm fans a 140 mm exhaust

22
00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:39,640
and then a gigantic mesh back on this

23
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:42,159
case from fractal that spave says allows

24
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:46,439
him to overclock this thing to the max without resorting to having any liquid

25
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:50,799
near your computer but you need more than just airf flow to deal with Intel's

26
00:01:48,119 --> 00:01:56,039
12 gen core i9s and that is where this comes in this thermos siphon cooler from

27
00:01:53,600 --> 00:02:01,200
Ice giant is actually competitive with the best dual aiio coolers on the market

28
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:05,240
and they have a copper version coming did you bring it I did bring it you

29
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:09,959
brought it okay I want to see it that's that doesn't seem copper to me

30
00:02:08,599 --> 00:02:16,280
the bottom oh that's all they had to turn

31
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:20,560
wait the they turned the base copper and

32
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:22,560
that was good for 9° yep shut up did

33
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:27,640
they change anything else nothing I can come in on right now

34
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,920
wow the point is this is the best of the

35
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:35,400
best when it comes to air cooled components and and it gets even bester

36
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:39,440
this CPU is not a regular core I9 12900

37
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:41,360
K this is a slave Edition so the OEM

38
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:46,959
that he's working with to actually put these things together ironide computers

39
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:49,480
will buy 100 12900 K's which if you're

40
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:54,920
not familiar are the top bin of Intel's 16 core chip right now they'll buy a 100

41
00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:57,360
of them only the top 10 make it into the

42
00:02:54,920 --> 00:03:05,000
spave PC and it gets even better than that for RAM not only only did gskill

43
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:08,239
create a special spave edition ddr5 6400

44
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,920
cl32 kit they silk screened his logo on

45
00:03:08,239 --> 00:03:14,440
it and naturally it's overclocked even

46
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:20,400
past that of course the question is how much does 6600 megat transfer per second

47
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:22,480
versus 6,400 megat transfer per second

48
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:26,720
really matter how much can you even overclock this thing once Intel already

49
00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:30,519
essentially overclocked the bloody things out of the factory well to find

50
00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:36,480
out we went ahead and using off-the-shelf

51
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:39,879
components we built our own spave PC

52
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:42,920
that's right we've got the same 3090 TI

53
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:46,000
ftw3 we've got okay it's not the same

54
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:48,480
ASRock uh taichi is it a taichi board we

55
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,519
got a Maximus whatever extreme we're up to now we got a knock to a cooler

56
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:57,599
imagine apologizing for the knock to a cooler in your knockoff the point is

57
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:02,720
we're going to bench this against that and see just how much professional

58
00:03:59,799 --> 00:04:07,319
overclocking tuning actually helps quick Andy man you missed the whole boot

59
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:11,560
sequence the fast computer I guess the first question then is am I going to

60
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:15,760
notice am I going to notice a difference like should I fire up a game that I play

61
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:21,239
all the time and see if I can even tell yeah absolutely wait a second have have

62
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:25,919
you done any like Windows process tuning or anything like that because this is

63
00:04:22,759 --> 00:04:28,560
extremely low CPU usage I'm about 6% at

64
00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:34,120
the desktop maybe okay but for real have you no no really Windows 11 I think the

65
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:37,600
task scheduler is is pretty good okay I haven't touched Windows 11 much you know

66
00:04:36,039 --> 00:04:41,440
what no we're going straight to the BIOS what have you actually changed then

67
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:46,120
here's what ended up getting changed for voltage mode we go from stable to OC not

68
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:51,240
stable who needs stability why why would you change micro code update the 16 micr

69
00:04:49,639 --> 00:04:56,880
code performs better than the current one uh for all core loads got it I

70
00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:02,639
actually didn't know that you could roll back previous micro code another reason

71
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:04,960
to an ASRock motherboard you've actually

72
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:08,919
now this is interesting you've actually undervolted the CPU well that's not

73
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:16,120
really what most people do when they overclock can you explain why you've done that so I uh undervolted the CPUs

74
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:20,880
because they are so highly bended we're able to do so and with doing that and

75
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:28,199
through controlling the power limits uh we're able to hold the Boost

76
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:31,639
clocks longer for multicore 55 is never

77
00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:34,680
a problem with the k s turbo standard

78
00:05:31,639 --> 00:05:38,120
never a problem sure very we'll see the

79
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:41,919
idea was to have the best

80
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:44,680
silicon uh in order to maintain those

81
00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:50,360
high frequencies for longer for for multi-threaded like your R20 or your

82
00:05:47,479 --> 00:05:54,919
blender or other programs that are for productivity will it be faster for

83
00:05:52,600 --> 00:06:00,600
gaming in this configuration or not really um it should hold boost higher so

84
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:08,240
it should give you higher clocks and everything okay lot a lot a lot of

85
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:13,080
tuning to the memory here holy crap

86
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:17,280
balls we've changed the d gear mode

87
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:19,039
uh yes I over clogged now you've got

88
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:23,360
Intel extreme tuning utility on here surely we're not using that are we no

89
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:28,160
that's just for monitoring yeah or uh some score testing stuff we did got it

90
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:31,240
okay what should I have open what's your preferred tool are you Hardware info

91
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:35,240
kind of character sure do you have like fir mark on here though can I just can I

92
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:39,199
just see what it'll actually hold just don't kill the card pleas or did you

93
00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:42,800
want to buy a PC I mean it's not my problem did you want to buy a PC that

94
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:47,520
doesn't have a cost yet just give us your credit card information all we know

95
00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:51,360
so far is that it's a lot of dollars or really a lot of rubles for comparison

96
00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:57,000
the one that we build is $5,100 and it costs more than anything

97
00:06:54,840 --> 00:07:05,759
cool from LTT Store.com like our new colors of water bottles available in 40

98
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:08,639
oz and 22 oz holy Nikes we're at 470

99
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:14,000
Watts we went beyond the scale of the GPU power breakout graph what are you

100
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:18,960
doing man I don't know I've never run this program

101
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:22,039
before what clocks are we at show graph

102
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:24,960
1,400 yeah cool I don't know is that

103
00:07:22,039 --> 00:07:27,879
good I have no idea we'll see over here we're going to blow a breaker in my

104
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:32,080
kitchen if we try and run this and that and I make some toast how's this this

105
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:38,840
one doing it's marginally slower we're getting a little bit under 1300 MHz

106
00:07:35,039 --> 00:07:42,319
really because I am managing in the mid

107
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:47,479
1300s even actually High 1300s just shy

108
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:49,440
of 1400 what's the power 450 Watts okay

109
00:07:47,479 --> 00:07:56,960
so we squeezed a little more power out of this one even though it's the exact

110
00:07:51,080 --> 00:08:00,759
same model of GPU huh man this this card

111
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:02,360
throws heat man it's going right into

112
00:08:00,759 --> 00:08:07,960
the CPU Cooler though is that not a concern no okay you'll see you'll see

113
00:08:06,039 --> 00:08:13,840
you'll see he says okay fine you know what fine that I feel challenged now

114
00:08:10,479 --> 00:08:16,080
because this guy is all cocky up in here

115
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:20,919
Hey where's my cine bench at are you running both of these at the same time

116
00:08:17,639 --> 00:08:22,319
yeah uh lus is electrical test yeah

117
00:08:20,919 --> 00:08:27,080
let's see if they wired up my house properly 3 2 1 and let's go boys oh man

118
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:33,000
you know what I think that's why my gpus is

119
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:40,919
getting more clocks than yours the second we fired up a CPU test my GPU

120
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:42,839
power draw and my GPU clocks dropped so

121
00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:47,839
I think it's a question of how well the CPU can actually keep up with driving

122
00:08:45,959 --> 00:08:53,360
the GPU that hard also have you thermal throttled already oh yeah instantly what

123
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:57,839
with an NHD 14 oh that's a 15 yeah it

124
00:08:53,360 --> 00:09:00,760
can't handle it wait oh I did too yeah

125
00:08:57,839 --> 00:09:05,920
that makes sense oh uh-oh clock Watchdog timeout I think we blue screened this

126
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:08,560
one's at 280 WTS actually no more like

127
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:15,160
240 on the CPU and then what's the GPU at now I bet it's way down there we go

128
00:09:11,839 --> 00:09:17,200
oh Wow 450 wat yeah 450 Watts that's a

129
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:21,240
lot of wat but you're thermal throttle I'm very much thermal throttle okay

130
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:27,360
let's back off the fur Mark let's cin bench drag race them yeah CP package is

131
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:30,000
at 115 right now so is it possible that

132
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:34,800
this cooler moved again on you it's possible okay well that could be a

133
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:39,160
problem might have been a little damaged in shipping here unfortunately okay we

134
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:46,440
might have to go a little easier on you instead of going full furmark and uh

135
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,880
cinch R23 at the same time in fairness

136
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:51,920
though it's actually managing to hold both of them now yeah that's good in

137
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:57,360
spite of the reported thermal throttling though almost all of our pees are

138
00:09:54,600 --> 00:10:03,360
running at 5 GHz what are yours running at uh oh this test and keep on running

139
00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:09,160
let's just see here 4.4 4.5 interesting damn that's a big

140
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:11,200
difference oh I just blue screened again

141
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:16,279
though we might have found our culprit the fan profiles didn't apply we're

142
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:22,320
fixing them sp's fixing them I'm watching okay core temperature core

143
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:29,360
temperatures are now at 94° all you did is rece it yeah it must have shifted ah

144
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:34,640
I mean not to say that water cooling is better but that is an advantage is the

145
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:38,720
heavy components of your cooler are mounted to things that don't matter and

146
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:43,200
then you've got nice lightweight blocks mounted to the CPU socket they are less

147
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:46,320
likely to shift during shipping however if you guys are going to have this

148
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:51,399
packed in nice and tight I would imagine that will resolve that for the end user

149
00:10:48,079 --> 00:10:53,480
but if you have Mondo rubles and you buy

150
00:10:51,399 --> 00:10:59,839
yourself a spave PC what's it called spave PC okay looks like I got it right

151
00:10:56,839 --> 00:11:02,959
TM and your temps are not great call

152
00:10:59,839 --> 00:11:06,920
your Courier one thing I'm curious about

153
00:11:02,959 --> 00:11:09,839
whoa I'm hitting 5 to 5.1 now I don't

154
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:14,040
have any under five sorry sorry I didn't mean to cut you off just this is cool

155
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:18,959
it's way cooler than what you're doing well I wonder if just because of like

156
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:23,360
power and stuff if I hit this one that one will become unhappy are we even on

157
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:28,120
different circuits or are we on the same one I have no clue okay it's holding

158
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:32,360
it's holding well that's way better and I have not thermal Frost I did exceed

159
00:11:30,279 --> 00:11:37,200
the core power limit but that's exactly what spave said was going to happen so

160
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:41,839
it is power limited to prevent The Thermals from getting out of control it

161
00:11:38,639 --> 00:11:44,600
is tuned oh it crashed

162
00:11:41,839 --> 00:11:49,800
Alex I was doing fine until you started running your crap machine interesting I

163
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:53,760
wonder if that's actually it wait it's not it didn't crash oh it didn't no it's

164
00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:56,560
actually still running when that got shut off was that

165
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:03,720
it yeah we turned this off and came back house is

166
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:05,959
cursed oh no it's totally still running

167
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:09,839
all the benchmarks too ferm Mark is still running cinebench is still running

168
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:13,880
in the background I've never seen anything like it one other thing that I

169
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:17,480
learned before is that having our wireless microphones on causes a lot of

170
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:22,880
interference so maybe it's the combination of these which is brutal for

171
00:12:19,839 --> 00:12:25,399
overclocks and this and Linus's bad

172
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:30,839
power was enough to just Tipper over the edge cuz now it's fine I did manage to

173
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,839
Thermal throttle so my belief is that

174
00:12:30,839 --> 00:12:36,880
the heat being kicked off the GPU cuz we're running two power viruses

175
00:12:34,839 --> 00:12:40,360
essentially at once here going right into the cooler is affecting us but

176
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:44,440
because we're sitting it anywhere from 105 to 110 on our PE course I think if

177
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:49,000
we could squeeze a few more degrees out of a better cooler that would actually

178
00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:53,880
resolve it anyway let's play some games no Doom maternal that's fine I have 2

179
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:58,519
and2 gig internet it's the internet CPU test right shouldn't take long that's

180
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:01,920
right this is actually an excellent CPU benchmark

181
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:09,000
how fast is it check this out we are sucking back I saw it Peak at over

182
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:12,320
40% of this 12900 K that has the snot

183
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:15,160
overclocked out of it and that was only

184
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:22,240
at 100 megabytes a second okay we're at 123 megabytes a second 141 144 we're at

185
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:24,720
60% CPU you hear those fans

186
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,800
go furmark barely managed to get the fans going but downloading games on

187
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:34,120
Steam that's the real Benchmark whoa oh we peaked at

188
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:37,800
77 we're at 64 right now look at this

189
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:40,000
she's going boys oo I bumped the power

190
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:44,959
cable and I think it shut down I mean I don't know that this is the world's most

191
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:47,279
amazing it doesn't look

192
00:13:44,959 --> 00:13:53,000
like I wonder why we're having power troubles well I look I don't know Alex

193
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:59,320
this is going to be the big test at the same settings running the same game does

194
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,839
the tuned PC outperform our stock one

195
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:05,240
and is it really stock like did you enable XMP and all the good stuff XMP is

196
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:11,120
enabled multicore enhancements on it's not even really stock it's like good

197
00:14:08,199 --> 00:14:15,519
stock okay you're marginally faster than me should I be expecting a big

198
00:14:13,399 --> 00:14:18,759
difference it's the same Hardware all right but there was so much stuff

199
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:24,120
changed in the BIOS 220

200
00:14:21,199 --> 00:14:28,440
220 a little higher but we're talking like 5 FPS okay spoil it for me then you

201
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:33,399
already did the proper benchmarking how much faster is it in games 5% across the

202
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:39,600
board pretty much no matter GPU CPU bound 5% faster okay I mean that's

203
00:14:36,959 --> 00:14:45,600
actually not insignificant what about like minimum frame times though 5%

204
00:14:41,639 --> 00:14:47,800
faster okay so just min max average just

205
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:52,959
it's a little faster yeah well you want to run Ida let's run Ida let's do a me

206
00:14:51,000 --> 00:15:01,519
let's do a read test so we're running at I think it's 50 oh 5200 CL 38 wow that

207
00:14:57,959 --> 00:15:04,160
is a lot faster you're like 20% faster

208
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:08,839
well depending on the workload then if we're doing something really memory

209
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:12,880
intensive this thing could absolutely crap all over our stock machine but then

210
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:17,160
we could also put better memory in our stock machine sure and most of the

211
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:28,240
performance gain is in the tertiary timings not in the

212
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:31,440
main ones you see so the 32 42 42 58

213
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:35,160
yeah I I mean some would see 42 versus

214
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:36,959
38 and think that one's better but in

215
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:41,399
fact those don't matter as much as the timings you don't even see in Windows

216
00:15:39,839 --> 00:15:46,440
those all those timings we changed in the BIOS right in a nutshell display of

217
00:15:44,279 --> 00:15:51,160
PC must be hard to have it judged right in front of you is what you'd expect it

218
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:54,920
to be it's a balls to thewall tuned overclocked machine which is going to

219
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:59,600
come with all the things that come with that yes it's going to be faster but

220
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:04,319
it's going to come at an additional cost we don't know exactly how much at this

221
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:07,079
point in time and well when you're

222
00:16:04,319 --> 00:16:11,199
flying that close to the sun your wings night might not get burned but it is

223
00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:15,000
possible they could get a little singed meaning that if there are any

224
00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:18,839
environmental variables around you say for example you live in a very hot

225
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:22,680
climate or your power is a little unstable in your house well it's not

226
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:27,560
undergoing the same kind of validation that it would in somewhere like Intel or

227
00:16:25,319 --> 00:16:30,759
NVIDIA's lab where they're ensuring that out in the real world no no matter what

228
00:16:29,319 --> 00:16:34,759
you throw at it it's going to run as expected you can afford this PC you can

229
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:40,759
afford a UPS and she'll run great that's a fair point anyone with a PC worth more

230
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:46,720
than I'd say 1,000 bucks for the tower should have a UPS on it so your mileage

231
00:16:43,759 --> 00:16:52,279
may vary but it'll certainly be fast mileage just like this fast segue to our

242
00:17:32,919 --> 00:17:39,559
Steve from Gamers Nexus went Subzero on a laptop main board that one was pretty

243
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:43,640
good yeah or the one where we did 6.9 GHz on a CPU that might come up first
