WEBVTT

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

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:10.960
does running my CPU cooler

00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:15.200
make it go faster and the answer to that is always well

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:21.039
it's complicated you know if you do this business and all these things then yes

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:24.240
it can but in general no but i realized

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:25.840
that i've never actually tested it

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:30.320
so today we're gonna find out

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:34.559
does your CPU being colder make it perform better in any meaningful way

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:48.640
the Corsair hx 1200i delivers 80 plus

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:53.920
platinum efficiency for quiet efficient power and Corsair link digital for

00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:57.680
advanced monitoring and control click now to learn more

00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:03.520
so our first test here is actually fairly real world this is cinebench r15

00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:06.880
and we are just getting our our baseline i mean this machine hasn't been touched

00:01:05.119 --> 00:01:10.720
since we filmed the build guide so exactly the way we had it set up

00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:16.400
readings you can see it's running at five gigahertz pretty much on the nose

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:21.200
with that benchmark running and then the way that we're actually going to get

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:23.360
temperature readings is not necessarily

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:29.840
while running benchmarks but rather using ida 64 in order to

00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:33.759
stress the CPU or not stress the CPU and then there's a couple different ways

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

00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:40.960
see right now okay well that was what CPU load looked like while we were

00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:44.479
actually running a benchmark but now it's falling back down again so we're

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

00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:53.520
temps and the reason for that is they're both measuring it in different ways real

00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:58.079
temp pulls the temperature off the CPU die which actually doesn't go below zero

00:01:56.320 --> 00:02:04.719
so right now it is below zero and then we're also going

00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:06.640
to use um ASUS ai suite because this one

00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:11.680
is pulling CPU temperature off a sensor that's near the CPU again

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

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

00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:26.720
collected my minus 11 and not applicable temperatures off of uh

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

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:35.440
okay so while we're running fire strike here i'll go ahead and discuss our

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:40.080
temperature results which are about what we expected i mean frankly we've tested

00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:44.480
this system before and while we are presenting this as like a range of

00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:48.840
values as opposed to a real value as far as load temperatures are concerned

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:53.519
all we really need to know is much lower than the other one because

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

00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:01.280
a lot we're just trying to determine if it helps at all at all so

00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:06.800
yeah let's see how this goes

00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:11.440
is she like an ice lady all right so apparently our fire strike

00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:16.959
score is better than 97 of all other results we actually only have a single

00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:19.760
gtx 980 hall of fame in this system but

00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:23.280
anyway that's pretty much it for the results that we need in this

00:03:21.519 --> 00:03:25.760
configuration so i'm just going to save this

00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:31.280
now we need to reboot the system and run it

00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:35.680
at stock speed extreme stock speed

00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:38.720
sub-zero benchmarking lightest tech tips

00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:47.120
so i loaded optimize defaults there are actually a couple of things i don't want

00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:52.360
to change so i do want our memory at 1866.

00:03:53.519 --> 00:04:00.640
okay so that's not there anymore and we should probably also stay in raid mode

00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:05.519
since that's how we're booting now just for the sake of convenience

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

00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:16.560
about 400 points in 3dmark fire strike

00:04:13.519 --> 00:04:18.160
and now all that's left is to shut this

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:21.040
baby down we're going to use restart because i

00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:24.720
don't want to apply updates in the middle of benchmarking between

00:04:23.280 --> 00:04:30.000
runs here and then we're going to pull off the

00:04:26.320 --> 00:04:31.600
phase change and go ahead and unplug the

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:36.479
phase change and put this stock cooler on there mmm so sexy

00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.639
okay hold on i gotta power it down right now

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

00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:48.160
score um and it doesn't really tell us

00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:52.720
anything about our objective today because what we need to know is how that

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:57.280
last number compares to the one we're about to get with the

00:04:54.720 --> 00:05:00.880
stock cooler that's cool we weren't really getting any uh

00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:07.759
any condensation around there or anything this was cool or it wasn't cool

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

00:05:10.479 --> 00:05:17.199
like gonna take a bit to remove

00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:22.400
oh and it's really cold so it's hard to work with

00:05:22.400 --> 00:05:29.440
dang it way to go ed

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:31.520
you can turn the pc on and let it warm

00:05:29.440 --> 00:05:36.720
up whoa you can see the condensation just

00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:40.800
evaporate instantly well you missed it but you would have

00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:44.960
been able to see that it was cool

00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:49.039
i'm sorry you couldn't experience it wow it's still

00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:52.960
like really cold to the touch is that still cold oh no it's warming up

00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:57.759
cool well less cool but

00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:03.520
cool for different reasons ah terrible process

00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:08.400
the dark side of face change cooling kind of oh it's her foot

00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:12.000
yeah i just kind of figured you were propositioning me and i was okay with

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:15.840
that it made me comfortable okay the pinky

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

00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:23.280
could be in which case that probably came across

00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:26.800
even weirder than i meant it to okay

00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:29.919
so now this kneaded eraser needs to come

00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:35.680
out which does not look like it's actually going

00:06:32.479 --> 00:06:38.560
to be that easy so i put nuts around the

00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.560
bottoms of those

00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:46.720
bolts which is why all the needed eraser needs to come

00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:48.880
off before i can mount any other cooler

00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:51.919
great mate we're not going to worry about our

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:57.120
maintenance board back to jj you probably know not to take an rma from me

00:06:54.560 --> 00:07:01.199
this way i'm trying from the other side just yeah

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

00:07:04.400 --> 00:07:07.759
trouble with that you know what i'll get a screwdriver

00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:12.560
it took off the serial number sticker so much for my rma

00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:17.120
oh no

00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:21.039
this is going faster so that's good oh yeah there's a big chunk

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

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

00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:32.319
easy to get but you just it just didn't come with the rest

00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:37.599
because the you know the tensile strength of the booger

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

00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:44.599
you say booger yeah

00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:51.840
hey we're doing pretty well here actually

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

00:07:54.000 --> 00:08:01.599
socket and we'll be fine this computer will power back on

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

00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:10.720
because i think there's a good chance we'll accidentally get some gunk

00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:15.120
in the uh in the socket so instead

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

00:08:17.599 --> 00:08:21.280
on the stock cooler

00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:26.560
the line between bravery and stupid

00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:30.400
is one often traveled atlantis media group

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

00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:38.800
more of a venn diagram let me just sit in there

00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:42.560
we just chill that's where our building is

00:08:42.719 --> 00:08:50.320
all right that's a good sign oh those CPU temps are a little high i

00:08:47.040 --> 00:08:53.040
guess we gotta reapply the thermal group

00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:55.839
those temps look really high still what is going on here

00:08:54.480 --> 00:09:01.040
do you think it's because i don't have the socket hold down on

00:08:58.640 --> 00:09:04.720
like what happens when i load it oh you don't

00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:09.440
no i didn't put it on i just put the cooler on top of it

00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:13.120
it should be fine the cooler puts yeah it's definitely not working right well

00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:17.120
you know what we're going for worst case scenario here

00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:21.600
as long as it's stable this will tell us the difference between

00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:27.600
sub-zero and like 80 degrees i guess so yeah let's let's

00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:32.000
push forward here we go jj has asked me on occasion

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

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

00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:42.560
these other programs work when the system's under load

00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:46.880
i can move them oh crap i did that thing okay stock

00:09:45.680 --> 00:09:52.160
speed phase cinebench score

00:09:49.760 --> 00:09:54.800
700. here we go

00:10:01.040 --> 00:10:05.839
here we go 8 17.

00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:12.240
what that doesn't make any sense

00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:20.000
the phase score seems to be bugged which i should have noticed back

00:10:17.680 --> 00:10:26.880
when we ran it because you can see we got 700 versus their stock

00:10:23.160 --> 00:10:29.040
4770k that does 822. so it's performing

00:10:26.880 --> 00:10:33.600
normally now and was actually okay well we'll have to come back to this

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

00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:40.160
so stock speed stock

00:10:38.880 --> 00:10:44.480
cooling cinebench

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

00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:53.360
line with its 4770k score

00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:56.480
so i'll run 3dmark and then

00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:58.839
maybe we will we'll ghetto mount

00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:03.519
the phase cooler back on there temporarily and uh let me see if we can

00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:06.880
get one benchmark out of it before it condenses and drips all over the

00:11:05.040 --> 00:11:09.680
motherboard so i'm just basically going to put this around here

00:11:08.560 --> 00:11:15.360
so the only sort of

00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:16.959
this is do not do this at home

00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:22.000
here we go well there's a difference between being

00:11:18.800 --> 00:11:23.700
a professional and being professional

00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:26.879
oh balls

00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:35.279
oh i did not want that to happen no

00:11:32.800 --> 00:11:37.839
that's a bad thing okay uh why

00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:44.160
why can't anything go right right now

00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:47.760
well let's use the technique we should have a counter in the corner

00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:51.120
of this video for the things not to do that's what

00:11:48.880 --> 00:11:53.920
that is for yeah

00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:58.590
yeah that does do that normally oh this is bad this is really

00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:01.729
bad

00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:08.600
those are like sitting next to the pins if not on them

00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:16.160
if i just kind of jerk it that seems to work better

00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:22.000
watch this video i jerk it

00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:25.120
i never recommend mounting a CPU vertically

00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:30.480
but if you ever wanted to know how to do it this is it

00:12:28.560 --> 00:12:34.560
put your finger through the socket to hold it into place

00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:37.360
while you lower the retention ARM there

00:12:35.760 --> 00:12:43.040
never do that the 3d mark one is actually very close

00:12:40.959 --> 00:12:46.639
to what we got with the air cooler but we'll rerun both just in case

00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:52.399
we need a stress ball right now this thing just shuts down mid benchmark

00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:55.120
you'll know it died from the condensation

00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:04.160
i don't know probably less than ten percent he made up completely off the

00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:08.800
top of his head and run run my pretties

00:13:07.040 --> 00:13:14.399
well this seems like as good a time as any to mention our uh cheero product

00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:18.880
that we sponsored this video this my friends is the cheero handy

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

00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:31.200
know the convenient definition of handy as opposed to the other one it's got

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

00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:38.880
this big next to an Intel stock heatsink so that should give you some idea and

00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:46.160
one of the handiest things about it is the fact that it has an integrated micro

00:13:41.680 --> 00:13:48.240
b usb cable so that right there is where

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

00:13:49.760 --> 00:13:56.959
plug in some other cable say for example a lightning connector you could do that

00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:58.959
there is a battery level indicator meter

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

00:14:00.560 --> 00:14:07.120
there's the leds that light up and it charges at up to two amps with

00:14:04.959 --> 00:14:10.639
compatible devices pretty much um

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

00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:18.160
video description on amazon.com and also

00:14:16.800 --> 00:14:23.760
they wanted us to call out that they have a special deal on the power plus

00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:28.160
three one that we actually featured in one of our chiro spots before so they

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

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

00:14:34.800 --> 00:14:40.399
that probably actually won't last that long did you just squeeze it here or

00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:46.160
something what did i do oh you shake it oh that's cool all right

00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:49.360
so back to our results 8 23

00:14:46.160 --> 00:14:52.480
there we go that is more like it what

00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:54.560
the heck happened last time

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

00:14:56.160 --> 00:15:00.480
work the first time than last time

00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:07.040
12 545 3d marks

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

00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:18.160
now let's have a look at what we got with stock speed stock cooling

00:15:15.839 --> 00:15:18.160
hmm

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

00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:29.839
oh i didn't save it no oh well whatever you saw it

00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:34.800
all right so it's final conclusion time

00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:40.480
and the answer is no your CPU running cooler does not affect

00:15:38.880 --> 00:15:44.720
your performance our hypothesis our prediction whatever

00:15:43.199 --> 00:15:49.360
you want to call it was correct

00:15:46.800 --> 00:15:53.040
um so you actually have to turn the speed up

00:15:50.800 --> 00:15:57.279
in order to have it run faster which makes perfect sense because can you

00:15:54.560 --> 00:16:01.839
imagine with the kind of precision and precisional precision engineering that

00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:06.399
goes into a product like this if just cooling it down made like some parts of

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

00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:16.399
like the video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it

00:16:13.920 --> 00:16:20.000
like it if you enjoyed the crazy hijinx dislike it if you hate the

00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:23.600
