1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,160 now this is something i've been asked a lot of times a shocking number of times 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:10,960 does running my CPU cooler 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:15,200 make it go faster and the answer to that is always well 4 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:21,039 it's complicated you know if you do this business and all these things then yes 5 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:24,240 it can but in general no but i realized 6 00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:25,840 that i've never actually tested it 7 00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:30,320 so today we're gonna find out 8 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:34,559 does your CPU being colder make it perform better in any meaningful way 9 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,640 the Corsair hx 1200i delivers 80 plus 10 00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:53,920 platinum efficiency for quiet efficient power and Corsair link digital for 11 00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:57,680 advanced monitoring and control click now to learn more 12 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:03,520 so our first test here is actually fairly real world this is cinebench r15 13 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:06,880 and we are just getting our our baseline i mean this machine hasn't been touched 14 00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:10,720 since we filmed the build guide so exactly the way we had it set up 15 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:16,400 readings you can see it's running at five gigahertz pretty much on the nose 16 00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:21,200 with that benchmark running and then the way that we're actually going to get 17 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,360 temperature readings is not necessarily 18 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:29,840 while running benchmarks but rather using ida 64 in order to 19 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:33,759 stress the CPU or not stress the CPU and then there's a couple different ways 20 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:37,680 that we're going to take temperatures so i'll bring this up right here so you can 21 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,960 see right now okay well that was what CPU load looked like while we were 22 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,479 actually running a benchmark but now it's falling back down again so we're 23 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:49,759 going to use this stability test and then we're going to use a couple of different programs for measuring CPU 24 00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:53,520 temps and the reason for that is they're both measuring it in different ways real 25 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:58,079 temp pulls the temperature off the CPU die which actually doesn't go below zero 26 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:04,719 so right now it is below zero and then we're also going 27 00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:06,640 to use um ASUS ai suite because this one 28 00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:11,680 is pulling CPU temperature off a sensor that's near the CPU again 29 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:15,840 not perfect for sub-zero readings but it's pretty much all we have to go on so 30 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:21,360 i'm going to go ahead i'm going to start up our test here because i've already 31 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:26,720 collected my minus 11 and not applicable temperatures off of uh 32 00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:30,959 off of my software for temps and we're gonna go ahead and see what they rise to 33 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:35,440 okay so while we're running fire strike here i'll go ahead and discuss our 34 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:40,080 temperature results which are about what we expected i mean frankly we've tested 35 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:44,480 this system before and while we are presenting this as like a range of 36 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:48,840 values as opposed to a real value as far as load temperatures are concerned 37 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:53,519 all we really need to know is much lower than the other one because 38 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:57,440 we're not trying to determine how much faster does your CPU run if you cool it 39 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:01,280 a lot we're just trying to determine if it helps at all at all so 40 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,800 yeah let's see how this goes 41 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:11,440 is she like an ice lady all right so apparently our fire strike 42 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:16,959 score is better than 97 of all other results we actually only have a single 43 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,760 gtx 980 hall of fame in this system but 44 00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:23,280 anyway that's pretty much it for the results that we need in this 45 00:03:21,519 --> 00:03:25,760 configuration so i'm just going to save this 46 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:31,280 now we need to reboot the system and run it 47 00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:35,680 at stock speed extreme stock speed 48 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,720 sub-zero benchmarking lightest tech tips 49 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:47,120 so i loaded optimize defaults there are actually a couple of things i don't want 50 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:52,360 to change so i do want our memory at 1866. 51 00:03:53,519 --> 00:04:00,640 okay so that's not there anymore and we should probably also stay in raid mode 52 00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:05,519 since that's how we're booting now just for the sake of convenience 53 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:11,200 okay so we've got our results at stock speed now you can see that we fell by 54 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:16,560 about 400 points in 3dmark fire strike 55 00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:18,160 and now all that's left is to shut this 56 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,040 baby down we're going to use restart because i 57 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,720 don't want to apply updates in the middle of benchmarking between 58 00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:30,000 runs here and then we're going to pull off the 59 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:31,600 phase change and go ahead and unplug the 60 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,479 phase change and put this stock cooler on there mmm so sexy 61 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,639 okay hold on i gotta power it down right now 62 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:44,479 i mean the results were about what we expected you're going to see a drop in 63 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:48,160 score um and it doesn't really tell us 64 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:52,720 anything about our objective today because what we need to know is how that 65 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:57,280 last number compares to the one we're about to get with the 66 00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:00,880 stock cooler that's cool we weren't really getting any uh 67 00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:07,759 any condensation around there or anything this was cool or it wasn't cool 68 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:12,320 wow it was cool but not cool in the wrong places how's that oh balls this is 69 00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:17,199 like gonna take a bit to remove 70 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:22,400 oh and it's really cold so it's hard to work with 71 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:29,440 dang it way to go ed 72 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,520 you can turn the pc on and let it warm 73 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:36,720 up whoa you can see the condensation just 74 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:40,800 evaporate instantly well you missed it but you would have 75 00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:44,960 been able to see that it was cool 76 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:49,039 i'm sorry you couldn't experience it wow it's still 77 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:52,960 like really cold to the touch is that still cold oh no it's warming up 78 00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:57,759 cool well less cool but 79 00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:03,520 cool for different reasons ah terrible process 80 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:08,400 the dark side of face change cooling kind of oh it's her foot 81 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:12,000 yeah i just kind of figured you were propositioning me and i was okay with 82 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,840 that it made me comfortable okay the pinky 83 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,120 toe is the most sensitive toe i don't actually know that to be a fact but it 84 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:23,280 could be in which case that probably came across 85 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:26,800 even weirder than i meant it to okay 86 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,919 so now this kneaded eraser needs to come 87 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:35,680 out which does not look like it's actually going 88 00:06:32,479 --> 00:06:38,560 to be that easy so i put nuts around the 89 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,560 bottoms of those 90 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:46,720 bolts which is why all the needed eraser needs to come 91 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,880 off before i can mount any other cooler 92 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,919 great mate we're not going to worry about our 93 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:57,120 maintenance board back to jj you probably know not to take an rma from me 94 00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:01,199 this way i'm trying from the other side just yeah 95 00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:05,280 keep twisting yeah the problem is that i also have to hold the nut in place and i'm having 96 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,759 trouble with that you know what i'll get a screwdriver 97 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,560 it took off the serial number sticker so much for my rma 98 00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:17,120 oh no 99 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:21,039 this is going faster so that's good oh yeah there's a big chunk 100 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:25,120 i feel like i'm picking my nose right now i'm having a lot of success you know 101 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:29,440 that felt like a pretty unsatisfying little pick where you know you left a big chunk behind that should have been 102 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,319 easy to get but you just it just didn't come with the rest 103 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:37,599 because the you know the tensile strength of the booger 104 00:07:35,039 --> 00:07:44,599 wasn't equal to the attachment force to the wall of the inside of the nose did 105 00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:44,599 you say booger yeah 106 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:51,840 hey we're doing pretty well here actually 107 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:55,199 not too shabby now all we got to do is not get any kneaded eraser into the CPU 108 00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:01,599 socket and we'll be fine this computer will power back on 109 00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:05,919 you know what i'm not going to appease my idle curiosity and pull this CPU out 110 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:10,720 because i think there's a good chance we'll accidentally get some gunk 111 00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:15,120 in the uh in the socket so instead 112 00:08:13,599 --> 00:08:18,810 uh we're just gonna we're gonna go for it so we'll be back when we're booted up 113 00:08:17,599 --> 00:08:21,280 on the stock cooler 114 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:26,560 the line between bravery and stupid 115 00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:30,400 is one often traveled atlantis media group 116 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:35,919 what do you think that there's not a line separating the two but instead it's 117 00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:38,800 more of a venn diagram let me just sit in there 118 00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:42,560 we just chill that's where our building is 119 00:08:42,719 --> 00:08:50,320 all right that's a good sign oh those CPU temps are a little high i 120 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:53,040 guess we gotta reapply the thermal group 121 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:55,839 those temps look really high still what is going on here 122 00:08:54,480 --> 00:09:01,040 do you think it's because i don't have the socket hold down on 123 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:04,720 like what happens when i load it oh you don't 124 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:09,440 no i didn't put it on i just put the cooler on top of it 125 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:13,120 it should be fine the cooler puts yeah it's definitely not working right well 126 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:17,120 you know what we're going for worst case scenario here 127 00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:21,600 as long as it's stable this will tell us the difference between 128 00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:27,600 sub-zero and like 80 degrees i guess so yeah let's let's 129 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:32,000 push forward here we go jj has asked me on occasion 130 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:35,760 why do you not like ai sweet i don't know because it behaves like this i mean 131 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:39,600 the system is under load it wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't under load but 132 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,560 these other programs work when the system's under load 133 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:46,880 i can move them oh crap i did that thing okay stock 134 00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:52,160 speed phase cinebench score 135 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,800 700. here we go 136 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,839 here we go 8 17. 137 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:12,240 what that doesn't make any sense 138 00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:20,000 the phase score seems to be bugged which i should have noticed back 139 00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:26,880 when we ran it because you can see we got 700 versus their stock 140 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:29,040 4770k that does 822. so it's performing 141 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:33,600 normally now and was actually okay well we'll have to come back to this 142 00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:37,440 i don't know what we're gonna do i all i can do right now is save these results 143 00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:40,160 so stock speed stock 144 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:44,480 cooling cinebench 145 00:10:42,399 --> 00:10:49,440 and then i'll run 3d mark since it seems to be running normally like this is in 146 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:53,360 line with its 4770k score 147 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:56,480 so i'll run 3dmark and then 148 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:58,839 maybe we will we'll ghetto mount 149 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:03,519 the phase cooler back on there temporarily and uh let me see if we can 150 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:06,880 get one benchmark out of it before it condenses and drips all over the 151 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,680 motherboard so i'm just basically going to put this around here 152 00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:15,360 so the only sort of 153 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,959 this is do not do this at home 154 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:22,000 here we go well there's a difference between being 155 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,700 a professional and being professional 156 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,879 oh balls 157 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:35,279 oh i did not want that to happen no 158 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,839 that's a bad thing okay uh why 159 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:44,160 why can't anything go right right now 160 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:47,760 well let's use the technique we should have a counter in the corner 161 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:51,120 of this video for the things not to do that's what 162 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:53,920 that is for yeah 163 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:58,590 yeah that does do that normally oh this is bad this is really 164 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,729 bad 165 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:08,600 those are like sitting next to the pins if not on them 166 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:16,160 if i just kind of jerk it that seems to work better 167 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:22,000 watch this video i jerk it 168 00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:25,120 i never recommend mounting a CPU vertically 169 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:30,480 but if you ever wanted to know how to do it this is it 170 00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:34,560 put your finger through the socket to hold it into place 171 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:37,360 while you lower the retention ARM there 172 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:43,040 never do that the 3d mark one is actually very close 173 00:12:40,959 --> 00:12:46,639 to what we got with the air cooler but we'll rerun both just in case 174 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,399 we need a stress ball right now this thing just shuts down mid benchmark 175 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,120 you'll know it died from the condensation 176 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:04,160 i don't know probably less than ten percent he made up completely off the 177 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:08,800 top of his head and run run my pretties 178 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:14,399 well this seems like as good a time as any to mention our uh cheero product 179 00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:18,880 that we sponsored this video this my friends is the cheero handy 180 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:26,320 it's a 6 000 milliamp hour battery bank and i'm sure they were going for you 181 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:31,200 know the convenient definition of handy as opposed to the other one it's got 182 00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:35,279 kind of a faux leather finish on it that looks quite nice it's about it's about 183 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:38,880 this big next to an Intel stock heatsink so that should give you some idea and 184 00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:46,160 one of the handiest things about it is the fact that it has an integrated micro 185 00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:48,240 b usb cable so that right there is where 186 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:51,360 you can plug in whatever it is that you could possibly want so if you wanted to 187 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:56,959 plug in some other cable say for example a lightning connector you could do that 188 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,959 there is a battery level indicator meter 189 00:13:56,959 --> 00:14:02,720 doodad but i can't find the button for it right at the moment so there you go 190 00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:07,120 there's the leds that light up and it charges at up to two amps with 191 00:14:04,959 --> 00:14:10,639 compatible devices pretty much um 192 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:16,800 i guess that's really all there is to say about it other than that you can check it out at the link below in the 193 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:18,160 video description on amazon.com and also 194 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:23,760 they wanted us to call out that they have a special deal on the power plus 195 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:28,160 three one that we actually featured in one of our chiro spots before so they 196 00:14:25,519 --> 00:14:33,040 have that on for 29.99 for a limit of 500 units total and given oh look at 197 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:36,480 that i found it i'm not sure how given how many of you buy these chiro deals 198 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:40,399 that probably actually won't last that long did you just squeeze it here or 199 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:46,160 something what did i do oh you shake it oh that's cool all right 200 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:49,360 so back to our results 8 23 201 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:52,480 there we go that is more like it what 202 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:54,560 the heck happened last time 203 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:59,600 i don't know whether i'm happy or mad i'm happy it worked i'm mad it didn't 204 00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,480 work the first time than last time 205 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:07,040 12 545 3d marks 206 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:13,120 and last time what we got with phase was 12 401 so i'm really glad we re-ran that 207 00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:18,160 now let's have a look at what we got with stock speed stock cooling 208 00:15:15,839 --> 00:15:18,160 hmm 209 00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:26,880 let's put the stock cooler back on and see if we can take another crack at that 210 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:29,839 oh i didn't save it no oh well whatever you saw it 211 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:34,800 all right so it's final conclusion time 212 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:40,480 and the answer is no your CPU running cooler does not affect 213 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:44,720 your performance our hypothesis our prediction whatever 214 00:15:43,199 --> 00:15:49,360 you want to call it was correct 215 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:53,040 um so you actually have to turn the speed up 216 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:57,279 in order to have it run faster which makes perfect sense because can you 217 00:15:54,560 --> 00:16:01,839 imagine with the kind of precision and precisional precision engineering that 218 00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:06,399 goes into a product like this if just cooling it down made like some parts of 219 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:12,399 it like go faster be completely out of whack it makes no sense so there you go 220 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:16,399 like the video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it 221 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:20,000 like it if you enjoyed the crazy hijinx dislike it if you hate the 222 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:23,600 irresponsibility of what happened here today leave a comment
