when a gaming PC shows up in a giant Pelican case we always know there's
going to be some kind of cool gimmick but the problem is a lot of the time
they end up being all Flash no dash this one is the exact freaking
opposite this was hand tuned by the one
and only Alan spave gers such one of the
world's top overclockers and the gimmick
here is
anyway the gimmick here if you could even call it that is that every possible
dial every knob every bell every whistle
has already been perfectly tuned to make
this the absolute fastest gaming
computer that money can buy how much money you ask it's so much that he
doesn't even know well I for one cannot
wait to take it for a spin now let's spin over to our sponsor
glass wire instantly see who or what your PC is talking to on glass wire's
network monitoring graph plus see what your computer may have connected to in
the past use code Linus and get 25% off
at the link below right out of the gate there are some unexpected design choices
here starting of course with cooling the Keen item on you might have noticed that
there is no water cooling anywhere instead what we've got is a bank of 3
140 mm 2 180 mm fans a 140 mm exhaust
and then a gigantic mesh back on this
case from fractal that spave says allows
him to overclock this thing to the max without resorting to having any liquid
near your computer but you need more than just airf flow to deal with Intel's
12 gen core i9s and that is where this comes in this thermos siphon cooler from
Ice giant is actually competitive with the best dual aiio coolers on the market
and they have a copper version coming did you bring it I did bring it you
brought it okay I want to see it that's that doesn't seem copper to me
the bottom oh that's all they had to turn
wait the they turned the base copper and
that was good for 9° yep shut up did
they change anything else nothing I can come in on right now
wow the point is this is the best of the
best when it comes to air cooled components and and it gets even bester
this CPU is not a regular core I9 12900
K this is a slave Edition so the OEM
that he's working with to actually put these things together ironide computers
will buy 100 12900 K's which if you're
not familiar are the top bin of Intel's 16 core chip right now they'll buy a 100
of them only the top 10 make it into the
spave PC and it gets even better than that for RAM not only only did gskill
create a special spave edition ddr5 6400
cl32 kit they silk screened his logo on
it and naturally it's overclocked even
past that of course the question is how much does 6600 megat transfer per second
versus 6,400 megat transfer per second
really matter how much can you even overclock this thing once Intel already
essentially overclocked the bloody things out of the factory well to find
out we went ahead and using off-the-shelf
components we built our own spave PC
that's right we've got the same 3090 TI
ftw3 we've got okay it's not the same
ASRock uh taichi is it a taichi board we
got a Maximus whatever extreme we're up to now we got a knock to a cooler
imagine apologizing for the knock to a cooler in your knockoff the point is
we're going to bench this against that and see just how much professional
overclocking tuning actually helps quick Andy man you missed the whole boot
sequence the fast computer I guess the first question then is am I going to
notice am I going to notice a difference like should I fire up a game that I play
all the time and see if I can even tell yeah absolutely wait a second have have
you done any like Windows process tuning or anything like that because this is
extremely low CPU usage I'm about 6% at
the desktop maybe okay but for real have you no no really Windows 11 I think the
task scheduler is is pretty good okay I haven't touched Windows 11 much you know
what no we're going straight to the BIOS what have you actually changed then
here's what ended up getting changed for voltage mode we go from stable to OC not
stable who needs stability why why would you change micro code update the 16 micr
code performs better than the current one uh for all core loads got it I
actually didn't know that you could roll back previous micro code another reason
to an ASRock motherboard you've actually
now this is interesting you've actually undervolted the CPU well that's not
really what most people do when they overclock can you explain why you've done that so I uh undervolted the CPUs
because they are so highly bended we're able to do so and with doing that and
through controlling the power limits uh we're able to hold the Boost
clocks longer for multicore 55 is never
a problem with the k s turbo standard
never a problem sure very we'll see the
idea was to have the best
silicon uh in order to maintain those
high frequencies for longer for for multi-threaded like your R20 or your
blender or other programs that are for productivity will it be faster for
gaming in this configuration or not really um it should hold boost higher so
it should give you higher clocks and everything okay lot a lot a lot of
tuning to the memory here holy crap
balls we've changed the d gear mode
uh yes I over clogged now you've got
Intel extreme tuning utility on here surely we're not using that are we no
that's just for monitoring yeah or uh some score testing stuff we did got it
okay what should I have open what's your preferred tool are you Hardware info
kind of character sure do you have like fir mark on here though can I just can I
just see what it'll actually hold just don't kill the card pleas or did you
want to buy a PC I mean it's not my problem did you want to buy a PC that
doesn't have a cost yet just give us your credit card information all we know
so far is that it's a lot of dollars or really a lot of rubles for comparison
the one that we build is $5,100 and it costs more than anything
cool from LTT Store.com like our new colors of water bottles available in 40
oz and 22 oz holy Nikes we're at 470
Watts we went beyond the scale of the GPU power breakout graph what are you
doing man I don't know I've never run this program
before what clocks are we at show graph
1,400 yeah cool I don't know is that
good I have no idea we'll see over here we're going to blow a breaker in my
kitchen if we try and run this and that and I make some toast how's this this
one doing it's marginally slower we're getting a little bit under 1300 MHz
really because I am managing in the mid
1300s even actually High 1300s just shy
of 1400 what's the power 450 Watts okay
so we squeezed a little more power out of this one even though it's the exact
same model of GPU huh man this this card
throws heat man it's going right into
the CPU Cooler though is that not a concern no okay you'll see you'll see
you'll see he says okay fine you know what fine that I feel challenged now
because this guy is all cocky up in here
Hey where's my cine bench at are you running both of these at the same time
yeah uh lus is electrical test yeah
let's see if they wired up my house properly 3 2 1 and let's go boys oh man
you know what I think that's why my gpus is
getting more clocks than yours the second we fired up a CPU test my GPU
power draw and my GPU clocks dropped so
I think it's a question of how well the CPU can actually keep up with driving
the GPU that hard also have you thermal throttled already oh yeah instantly what
with an NHD 14 oh that's a 15 yeah it
can't handle it wait oh I did too yeah
that makes sense oh uh-oh clock Watchdog timeout I think we blue screened this
one's at 280 WTS actually no more like
240 on the CPU and then what's the GPU at now I bet it's way down there we go
oh Wow 450 wat yeah 450 Watts that's a
lot of wat but you're thermal throttle I'm very much thermal throttle okay
let's back off the fur Mark let's cin bench drag race them yeah CP package is
at 115 right now so is it possible that
this cooler moved again on you it's possible okay well that could be a
problem might have been a little damaged in shipping here unfortunately okay we
might have to go a little easier on you instead of going full furmark and uh
cinch R23 at the same time in fairness
though it's actually managing to hold both of them now yeah that's good in
spite of the reported thermal throttling though almost all of our pees are
running at 5 GHz what are yours running at uh oh this test and keep on running
let's just see here 4.4 4.5 interesting damn that's a big
difference oh I just blue screened again
though we might have found our culprit the fan profiles didn't apply we're
fixing them sp's fixing them I'm watching okay core temperature core
temperatures are now at 94° all you did is rece it yeah it must have shifted ah
I mean not to say that water cooling is better but that is an advantage is the
heavy components of your cooler are mounted to things that don't matter and
then you've got nice lightweight blocks mounted to the CPU socket they are less
likely to shift during shipping however if you guys are going to have this
packed in nice and tight I would imagine that will resolve that for the end user
but if you have Mondo rubles and you buy
yourself a spave PC what's it called spave PC okay looks like I got it right
TM and your temps are not great call
your Courier one thing I'm curious about
whoa I'm hitting 5 to 5.1 now I don't
have any under five sorry sorry I didn't mean to cut you off just this is cool
it's way cooler than what you're doing well I wonder if just because of like
power and stuff if I hit this one that one will become unhappy are we even on
different circuits or are we on the same one I have no clue okay it's holding
it's holding well that's way better and I have not thermal Frost I did exceed
the core power limit but that's exactly what spave said was going to happen so
it is power limited to prevent The Thermals from getting out of control it
is tuned oh it crashed
Alex I was doing fine until you started running your crap machine interesting I
wonder if that's actually it wait it's not it didn't crash oh it didn't no it's
actually still running when that got shut off was that
it yeah we turned this off and came back house is
cursed oh no it's totally still running
all the benchmarks too ferm Mark is still running cinebench is still running
in the background I've never seen anything like it one other thing that I
learned before is that having our wireless microphones on causes a lot of
interference so maybe it's the combination of these which is brutal for
overclocks and this and Linus's bad
power was enough to just Tipper over the edge cuz now it's fine I did manage to
Thermal throttle so my belief is that
the heat being kicked off the GPU cuz we're running two power viruses
essentially at once here going right into the cooler is affecting us but
because we're sitting it anywhere from 105 to 110 on our PE course I think if
we could squeeze a few more degrees out of a better cooler that would actually
resolve it anyway let's play some games no Doom maternal that's fine I have 2
and2 gig internet it's the internet CPU test right shouldn't take long that's
right this is actually an excellent CPU benchmark
how fast is it check this out we are sucking back I saw it Peak at over
40% of this 12900 K that has the snot
overclocked out of it and that was only
at 100 megabytes a second okay we're at 123 megabytes a second 141 144 we're at
60% CPU you hear those fans
go furmark barely managed to get the fans going but downloading games on
Steam that's the real Benchmark whoa oh we peaked at
77 we're at 64 right now look at this
she's going boys oo I bumped the power
cable and I think it shut down I mean I don't know that this is the world's most
amazing it doesn't look
like I wonder why we're having power troubles well I look I don't know Alex
this is going to be the big test at the same settings running the same game does
the tuned PC outperform our stock one
and is it really stock like did you enable XMP and all the good stuff XMP is
enabled multicore enhancements on it's not even really stock it's like good
stock okay you're marginally faster than me should I be expecting a big
difference it's the same Hardware all right but there was so much stuff
changed in the BIOS 220
220 a little higher but we're talking like 5 FPS okay spoil it for me then you
already did the proper benchmarking how much faster is it in games 5% across the
board pretty much no matter GPU CPU bound 5% faster okay I mean that's
actually not insignificant what about like minimum frame times though 5%
faster okay so just min max average just
it's a little faster yeah well you want to run Ida let's run Ida let's do a me
let's do a read test so we're running at I think it's 50 oh 5200 CL 38 wow that
is a lot faster you're like 20% faster
well depending on the workload then if we're doing something really memory
intensive this thing could absolutely crap all over our stock machine but then
we could also put better memory in our stock machine sure and most of the
performance gain is in the tertiary timings not in the
main ones you see so the 32 42 42 58
yeah I I mean some would see 42 versus
38 and think that one's better but in
fact those don't matter as much as the timings you don't even see in Windows
those all those timings we changed in the BIOS right in a nutshell display of
PC must be hard to have it judged right in front of you is what you'd expect it
to be it's a balls to thewall tuned overclocked machine which is going to
come with all the things that come with that yes it's going to be faster but
it's going to come at an additional cost we don't know exactly how much at this
point in time and well when you're
flying that close to the sun your wings night might not get burned but it is
possible they could get a little singed meaning that if there are any
environmental variables around you say for example you live in a very hot
climate or your power is a little unstable in your house well it's not
undergoing the same kind of validation that it would in somewhere like Intel or
NVIDIA's lab where they're ensuring that out in the real world no no matter what
you throw at it it's going to run as expected you can afford this PC you can
afford a UPS and she'll run great that's a fair point anyone with a PC worth more
than I'd say 1,000 bucks for the tower should have a UPS on it so your mileage
may vary but it'll certainly be fast mileage just like this fast segue to our
sponsor drop looking for a new keyboard check out drops expression series keyen
