WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:08.800 so it's time for another crazy cooling experiment with Linus and alex this time 00:00:06.560 --> 00:00:15.200 our victim is going to be the dell alienware area 51m so this is notable 00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:22.320 for having a desktop 900 k 8 core processor in it that runs 00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:24.480 at 100 degrees at all times so we are 00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:28.320 going to be trying to tame the beast but there's going to be a couple of key 00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:31.519 differences today difference number one they kicked us out of the boardroom so 00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:35.360 we're in the kitchen and difference number two we have 00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:40.239 hello steven burke from gamers nexus 00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:45.840 so let's see what we can do with this thing with glass wire you can instantly see 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:50.480 your current and past network activity detect malware and block badly behaving 00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:56.760 apps on your pc or Android device use offer code Linus and get 25 off 00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:56.760 glasswire at the link below 00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:06.479 this is a lot of gear why is there a calculator he never goes anywhere 00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:10.320 without his ti-84 are you serious yeah it's just nice if you want to give a 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:15.760 phone yeah but okay so we're not gonna know 00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:17.759 what or how we can mount an alternative 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:22.000 cooling solution to this thing until we've opened it up and figured out 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:25.520 exactly what kind of mounting holes dell's using we require mounting holes 00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:30.720 that are quite close to the socket and we don't know if we're gonna find that inside yeah we're not going to 00:01:29.119 --> 00:01:35.520 i'm trying to put some suspense in the video alex i know that 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:38.880 so is this CPU and GPU are they exposed on this side yeah they are okay does 00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:42.799 your plan to leave the motherboard mounted in the laptop 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:46.640 yep the other option is you sit it precariously on its side 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:51.119 and we just look at the screen like this while the cooler is hooked up like that 00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:51.119 yeah that could work 00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:58.240 do you know the story of my chiller i bought this for the sole purpose of 00:01:55.360 --> 00:02:03.439 hooking it up to my daily driver e6600 and you can tell that it's very did it 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:08.000 ever hurt anybody 17 year old me engineered it has not hurt anyone yet 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:12.239 but the possibility of being hurt is definitely real so i would ask that 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:16.800 while it's plugged in you refrain from touching 00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:16.800 this i think it's terrifying 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:22.640 is this a ground terminal any of the bare leads here uh yeah yeah that's just 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:27.680 hanging there okay you don't need ground we don't see ourselves as being grounded 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:31.280 type people okay neither of us wants to use our liability 00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:36.239 insurance yeah what i think is going to have to happen 00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:41.120 is we're going to take these 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:44.480 really really cheap blocks okay and machine a new piece of acrylic that'll 00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:49.280 fit the mounting holes does this this doesn't have any micro fins does it no 00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:52.640 it's just a flat oh no it's like four dollars on aliexpress 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:55.599 what do you want man maybe six dollars on aliexpress i don't 00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:01.680 know i fix it's gonna hate this i couldn't find a marlin so this is their old 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:06.560 precision screwdriver i'm assuming there's no ihs on the CPU 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:11.040 right yeah is it really yeah so it's literally a desktop 00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:15.360 okay i know right is it socketed yeah yeah oh interesting i didn't know that 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:20.319 so it's it's two 10 millimeter heat pipes on the CPU and then GPU is here 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:24.560 yep what is the GPU full blown 2080. you said the CPU was 00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:29.440 100 degrees uh was that only with overclocking i'm assuming that's at max 00:03:27.200 --> 00:03:34.400 so okay just put it in performance mode and it hits 100 degrees wow okay one of 00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:39.040 the things that we're probably going to have to figure out because having a look 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:43.680 at the cooling solution here steven identified that there's actually 00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:47.200 a fair amount of vrm cooling going on so they're not just cooling the CPU but 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:52.319 this aluminum plate right here is actually making thermal pad contact 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:55.760 with the mosfets and the inductors all of this interesting 00:03:53.920 --> 00:03:59.200 so alex this is going to be a little bit 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:03.439 tricky we're going to have to get airflow onto this heatsink somehow even 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:07.280 if we do just go with the stock solution and put this back in here is the GPU 00:04:04.959 --> 00:04:10.400 going to be under a chiller also yeah is it chiller like what is it like 00:04:08.799 --> 00:04:13.280 zero degrees it's whatever you want it to be baby 00:04:12.239 --> 00:04:17.440 okay so it's been a couple hours 00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:22.560 uh where are you at uh we're good to cut things um 00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:26.000 so it looks kind of stupid this is the GPU one 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:29.600 it does look kind of stupid it's like it looks like you screwed it 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:33.199 up and because we just moved our router yeah i don't know how accurate it is at 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:37.840 the moment and until we test that i'm just making all the holes way bigger so hopefully it fits anyway you have the 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:41.280 o-ring groove and everything's sort of oh right there's no groove yeah no group 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:46.400 just flat so we're just going to reuse the stock o-ring that came with our chinese block yeah how does this compare 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:51.440 to how organized and professional you thought we were steve that's about what i thought 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:57.840 i deserved that hey i get to be the coolest looking one too hey 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.840 oh no what up 00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:09.880 there you go so that's our CPU mount right yep cool 00:05:10.479 --> 00:05:15.120 sorry stephen it's not as bad if you're making the 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.840 noise which is why i always volunteer for tap duty 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.880 that's fine 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:29.840 this one's a bit off but i think we can just drill through it and it'll be fine 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:30.960 the pcb or the uh acrylic top 00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:36.639 isn't it going to be beautiful when you have the mill and it'll actually just be like 00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:41.680 how much was it again 5k oh god no i don't know about that 00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:41.680 good enough heck yeah 00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:50.240 it's not perfect but that's not what we're going for the label on this bin 00:05:47.280 --> 00:05:54.160 really does not bode well for the water cooling process sorry steve i 00:05:52.800 --> 00:06:01.280 promise we'll get to the part where we really need your expertise the overclocking very soon 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:02.639 just gotta you know fabricate some crap 00:06:01.280 --> 00:06:07.680 do you want uh like a vice to secure the block no i 00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:11.520 have that would you like to use it no no i'm good thank you just making sure i'm 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:14.960 going to go back to writing my scripts for your next video yeah 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:21.600 oh i wonder if this is how like ek water 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:25.280 box makes theirs yeah ek definitely uses the drill by hand right through the top 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:32.160 oh that was gnarly why is alex not wearing 00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:37.120 gloves but Linus has to protect his little baby hands that's why we're 00:06:35.039 --> 00:06:41.680 getting close then aren't we yeah hell yeah actually we have a lot of crap 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:46.000 on the floor uh steve around the thing there there's a dyson i know that you're 00:06:43.919 --> 00:06:50.479 really good at uh vacuuming i saw you did a review once of a vacuum cleaner is 00:06:48.479 --> 00:06:53.520 the money still in it just vacuum right here 00:06:55.039 --> 00:06:59.520 it's not sucking up the dirt we have to cut a new one alex that's not going to 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:04.880 hold well alex is re-cutting our GPU acrylic 00:07:02.960 --> 00:07:09.120 top we're going to mount our CPU block as best we can so 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:12.479 in order to make our lives a little bit now you're not using one of 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:15.280 those are you yeah why not thermal paste is going to be better 00:07:13.919 --> 00:07:21.919 thermally those are just good for their endurance like because you can use it a long time actually 00:07:19.520 --> 00:07:26.880 coffee lake lying down the middle you know what just for you wait what this is 00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:30.479 this guy like x technique sir i've read that smiley face has improved 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:34.639 the thermals a bit okay how much are you putting on here 00:07:32.400 --> 00:07:39.039 it's just gonna squish out exactly who's gonna clean it i don't 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:42.319 know i won't be here minus one of my longest standing sponsors is thermal 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:46.800 grizzly yeah there needs to be more thermal pain there be 00:07:45.280 --> 00:07:50.800 work it back i'm all about the wiggle technique 00:07:48.960 --> 00:07:54.879 so what do you think looks really ghetto but like in a good way so our 00:07:52.960 --> 00:07:58.879 expectation right now turns on that this will turn on yes 00:07:57.280 --> 00:08:04.879 okay you want to throw that uh heatsink back on there yep three two one 00:08:02.400 --> 00:08:07.840 wait oh i saw a flash on the keyboard oh no it's powering up 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:12.560 battery that sounds like it wants a battery okay sure let's try putting a 00:08:09.840 --> 00:08:15.680 battery in okay you can screw that down no that's fine 00:08:13.919 --> 00:08:19.199 like at least one you got to hold the heatsink do you want to hold the 00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:23.039 heatsink alex oh it's the heatsink no one's holding it okay are we real i mean 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:27.440 are we reassembling it at this point like no 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.440 it's off flicker 00:08:27.599 --> 00:08:32.880 yeah fans do like one rotation and stop 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:37.360 so basically here's what happened the problem was that the memory slots are 00:08:35.599 --> 00:08:43.200 actually labeled one two three four which is pretty typical what's a little less 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:47.440 typical is that it wasn't booting with memory in slots one and i guess it 00:08:45.920 --> 00:08:51.360 would have been four apparently the system is firing up so 00:08:49.839 --> 00:08:56.959 all that's left now is to re-tighten up our CPU block mount 00:08:54.399 --> 00:09:00.959 our GPU block and then finally 00:08:58.160 --> 00:09:05.360 one day later leverage the talents of steven burke here i might actually do 00:09:03.040 --> 00:09:09.519 something now how about we start 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:14.720 with just a little below ambient stay above the dew point okay yeah 00:09:12.880 --> 00:09:19.519 i'm gonna lift this up and we are going to put this 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:24.320 in there okay you can see this well-crafted cutout right here yep 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:30.240 that's for this right here okay all right okay 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:33.839 yeah that needs to go perfect thank you don't cut yourself that's some very 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:39.200 rusty metal okay tubing here's some scrap tubing we had 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.200 lying around with a fitting in 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:46.279 it's not a race alex well if it is i'm winning 00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:02.800 seems fine well let's maybe give it one minute i mean remember 00:10:00.959 --> 00:10:08.080 these are Linus tapped holes also one of the first um fittings that 00:10:05.839 --> 00:10:13.680 you put on just didn't have an o-ring really so are you sure it didn't come 00:10:09.920 --> 00:10:13.680 off or something no i really did check 00:10:16.800 --> 00:10:23.760 it's just drawing the cables into the fans so they're shredding the 00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:28.240 cable sleeving which is creating strands of cable sleeving that 00:10:25.760 --> 00:10:33.760 get into them more easily wait what what's going 00:10:31.680 --> 00:10:37.040 it's a on solution though well only if it works 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:42.160 we've got our water cooling working our temperatures are great at idle we're 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:46.240 what like 15 degrees 15 and 13 on the GPU and we're at six celsius on the 00:10:44.079 --> 00:10:50.720 chiller wonderful except for one small thing no matter what we do in the 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:54.000 extreme tuning utility i'm using air quotes here 00:10:51.839 --> 00:10:59.600 it's not applying we're getting lower scores in the CPU test in 3d marks so 00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:03.360 we've got core ratio overrides for one to eight cores do you want to just set 00:11:01.680 --> 00:11:08.160 those in here no we'll do that next to you if we can okay all right so after 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:13.279 painstakingly applying their in BIOS overclocking settings we are supposedly 00:11:10.160 --> 00:11:16.000 at 5.2 gigahertz on any load up to six 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:18.720 cores and then 4.9 for seven and eight core loads 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:22.640 but we're pretty sure that this is nonsense so ideally with overclocking 00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:27.279 the biggest limits you run into are thermal and potentially voltage which 00:11:24.880 --> 00:11:31.360 triggers thermal and then power limits and so we're running out of power which 00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:34.640 i know for two reasons one is because hardware info 64 tells us we're hitting 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:39.839 power limits and the other one is because you can see the core is throttling but we're well under tj maxx 00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:44.079 the issue then is that when i try to increase the power limits here and it 00:11:42.160 --> 00:11:47.120 doesn't look like they've really changed from that BIOS change when i increase 00:11:45.920 --> 00:11:52.640 the power limit to next to you it just says you can't do that or it increases them in such a small way 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:55.839 that it doesn't do anything useful for us all right well see what happens yeah 00:11:54.640 --> 00:11:59.680 i was going to tell you this clearly isn't working because we're at 246 watts 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:03.920 we got higher than that before alienware's pre-overclock here is actually doing 00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:08.399 nothing so they're pre-overclocked actually it is 52 on 6 cores but it's 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:12.959 actually doing 4.8 on all cores so let's just manually tell it to do 49x 00:12:10.959 --> 00:12:16.480 and then i want to change these but i don't think it does anything based on 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:20.160 what we've seen so let's just run this as a baseline and see what the cores are 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:24.480 doing so amusingly enough turning our clock 00:12:22.880 --> 00:12:29.279 speed target down to 4.9 but on all cores actually yields 00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:32.160 slightly higher power consumption and 00:12:30.160 --> 00:12:36.079 a higher score a higher score and there so the reason this happens for 00:12:33.680 --> 00:12:39.839 anyone doesn't know is because when you you set the the configuration too 00:12:38.079 --> 00:12:44.240 aggressive but you're power throttling it's throttling harder to try and account for that so you might actually 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:48.240 drop your multiplier from something like 49x down to all the way into the 20s or 00:12:46.560 --> 00:12:53.600 30s right i'm going to increase the cash ratio now a general rule of thumb is i i 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:57.200 like to keep cash ratio like maybe four ticks below all core but we're going to 00:12:55.279 --> 00:13:02.240 push for maybe 47 x and see if that holds and this is also known as reboot 00:12:59.920 --> 00:13:05.360 required in xdu on this laptop it seems like reboot required basically means 00:13:03.680 --> 00:13:09.120 it's not going to work no wonder you prefer working with desktops at least 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:12.399 they're designed for this sort of thing i think this is designed for it i think 00:13:10.800 --> 00:13:16.399 so too i think alienware had this in mind so after beating our heads against the 00:13:14.560 --> 00:13:20.800 wall turns out there's a new BIOS for this laptop apparently enhanced the 00:13:18.560 --> 00:13:24.720 performance of the system perfect thank you BIOS engineers hopefully this gives 00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:30.160 us a bit more control oh whoa whoa hold on a second no this is 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:33.040 good power limit one is 210 watts now 00:13:30.160 --> 00:13:36.959 oh yeah that's the change okay i have some hope now because if we can get 00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:41.360 another 60 watts that should be substantial yeah i doubt you're gonna be 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:45.600 able to actually change it to 230 or whatever 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:49.760 yeah i don't think that's happening then i guess i should note as well i did drop 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:53.600 the chiller a bit more so i forgot where we're at 00:13:51.920 --> 00:13:57.920 about 10 degrees fahrenheit i don't really use fahrenheit despite being 00:13:55.120 --> 00:14:02.000 american so i'm not sure what that is but our load temps were around 50 to 55 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:06.320 degrees across all corners we're below zero celsius is what really matters so 00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:11.680 so we're expecting a better result this time because we got up to almost 250 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:14.880 watts here okay good for the full system CPU temps are also a touch higher in the 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:18.480 mid 60s so it's definitely working harder so 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:22.880 we're changing power management mode for the GPU to performance instead of 00:14:21.040 --> 00:14:26.800 optimal power we're changing texture filtering from quality to high 00:14:24.160 --> 00:14:31.760 performance kingpin ogs all those real overclockers do this it's permissible so 00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:35.760 we've got that done it is actually at what was it 290 yeah okay well that's 00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:39.920 very promising this is better than the first BIOS for sure yeah and we haven't 00:14:37.839 --> 00:14:44.000 touched voltage yet so if we have to overvolt we might be able 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:48.160 to it's just gonna be a power limitation issue you know what right when you said 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:51.360 that it peaked at 300. so 300 is going to be our new maximum power it looks 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:54.240 like use of throttle stop to bypass these throttling schemes is at your own 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:59.600 risk and can result in permanent damage to your power adapter or computer perfect i'm applying the setting it's 00:14:57.839 --> 00:15:03.040 saying reboot required i hit discard i apply the setting and then it works and 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:09.199 if i reboot it doesn't work it gives an error message it's held 295. it's holding up there 00:15:06.560 --> 00:15:13.360 longer our frequency was at uh actually like 50 the whole time and 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:18.399 i technically applied 51 but i don't know if it actually worked 106.79 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:23.680 so this is the error that we get every time we try to actually listen to the 00:15:20.800 --> 00:15:28.000 software and reboot and then it just doesn't apply anything that was changed 00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:32.079 yeah in fact it reset everything else so after playing around with all the dials 00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:36.160 in xtu it turns out that the only thing that really changed with the BIOS update 00:15:33.920 --> 00:15:40.959 was that the default power limit is higher the good news though is now we 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:46.320 can start pushing our GPU which we should be able to get a pretty good overclock on right yes so gpus NVIDIA 00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:50.399 gbs especially are really temperature dependent and for about 00:15:48.560 --> 00:15:54.320 every maybe five degrees celsius you drop you'll keep getting frequency 00:15:52.160 --> 00:15:57.680 increases without even doing any work we do not have a lot of time uh we're 00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:03.920 starting to sweat yes air will create condensation so i 00:16:00.560 --> 00:16:06.000 would limit air access to components 00:16:03.920 --> 00:16:08.720 i'll let you do that worst case scenario alienware gets back a laptop that 00:16:07.680 --> 00:16:13.040 doesn't work so 11 236. we are up on graphics 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:17.680 significantly there's some success 00:16:14.560 --> 00:16:19.920 so we are up from 10 000 201 to 11 236 00:16:17.680 --> 00:16:23.199 about 10 and seven degrees on the GPU after running 00:16:21.040 --> 00:16:27.759 so then let's get this back towards the brm perfect how hot is that 00:16:26.800 --> 00:16:32.639 it's getting warm yeah memory was getting a little bit 00:16:30.800 --> 00:16:36.720 toasty too and our memory is shoved under there i think so that's 00:16:34.880 --> 00:16:42.240 i would like to get a fan kind of this direction oh we need to do we need yeah 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:45.279 light the CPU a bit well that's the best i think we can really hope for right now 00:16:43.839 --> 00:16:49.199 i'm going to put some more towel around the fittings up here at the top 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:52.160 is the compressor still running are we still bringing this down yeah you know 00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:56.079 i'm gonna i think we're gonna call this the limit because we're starting to sweat more 00:16:54.959 --> 00:17:00.079 than i'm really comfortable with we're gonna start getting drops running down the tubes onto the motherboard here 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:04.400 pretty soon so you crank did you crank it all the way 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:09.600 so this is basically it this is what we're going for plus 180 on 00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:14.799 the GPU core plus 11 20 on the GPU memory and five gigahertz on the CPU now 00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:19.199 to be clear there are other things that steve could do if he had more time 00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:22.959 tuning the clock speeds for individual cores because i mean 3d mark especially 00:17:21.439 --> 00:17:27.520 when you're running a GPU test actually doesn't hit all the cores so you could 00:17:25.679 --> 00:17:33.919 avoid a power limit by not running all of them at 5 gigahertz so we have well 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:38.160 over a ten percent improvement yeah not not bad what do our GPU and CPU temps 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:43.440 look like is that nine on the GPU i see over here CPU so max was about 74 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:49.919 degrees celsius so and then the GPU we don't have it logged actually we do uh 00:17:45.840 --> 00:17:49.919 the max was 28 degrees 28 degrees 00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:57.120 really not bad that's awesome 00:17:54.400 --> 00:18:01.919 so anyway i think we can be happy with this knowing that within the time and 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:07.840 the software parameters we unfortunately have we're at eleven thousand four six verses 00:18:05.840 --> 00:18:11.200 um ten thousand hundred eighty-six so that is way outside of margin of error 00:18:09.679 --> 00:18:14.480 we've actually improved it yep the graphic score is eleven thousand six 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:17.919 fourteen the CPU wasn't really that great it was 10 360. so we it could 00:18:16.320 --> 00:18:22.480 improve there there's a throttling issue so settings GPU core offset was 160 00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:28.240 megahertz memory we did 11 20 megahertz i tried 1180 i tried 1220. both of those 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:33.280 really heavily artifacted and crashed maximum performance mode in the power 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:37.840 management for NVIDIA drivers we changed texture filtration to high performance 00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:42.799 from quality which is allowed so that's it 00:18:39.360 --> 00:18:44.240 massive thank you to uh alienware for 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:49.919 permitting us to do this to their machine i'm just kidding they didn't permit this they did not permit any of 00:18:47.520 --> 00:18:53.440 this but uh thanks to steve for coming out and uh having some fun with us it 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:56.880 was a lot of fun first time laptop extreme overclocking yes 00:18:55.679 --> 00:19:01.919 very fun and very impressed with alex's cnc 00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:06.160 turnaround on the blocks extremely quick water cooling solution for uh you know 00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:10.720 laptop that's going to be a new business opportunity for us i think 00:19:07.919 --> 00:19:14.080 create custom laptop water blocks lots of money in that 00:19:12.080 --> 00:19:17.360 speaking of lots of money in that ting is the mobile carrier that's focused on 00:19:15.760 --> 00:19:21.600 customer service and customer satisfaction and with ting you pay only 00:19:19.679 --> 00:19:26.640 for what you use with the average ting bill coming in at just 23 dollars a 00:19:23.600 --> 00:19:28.640 month per device they have no contracts 00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:32.480 and you can try it risk free and if you're stuck in a contract with your 00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:36.799 existing carrier and you switch to ting they'll cover 25 of your cancellation 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:40.960 fee up to 75 dollars they've got nationwide coverage from coast to coast 00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:45.520 in the usa and data is now just ten dollars a gig beyond the second gig they 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:50.679 never block throttle or interfere with your online access and you can find out 00:19:47.919 --> 00:19:54.320 how much you'll save on ting by going to Linus.ting.com and trying out their 00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:58.240 savings calculator we used their voicemail to text service and published 00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:03.200 our number one eight three three five six five LTT vm to hear some messages 00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:08.080 from our fans i unfortunately don't have access to think here in the uk 00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:13.200 but i would love to get it would save me roughly around about 00:20:09.760 --> 00:20:14.799 10 pounds if you were to convert it so i 00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:19.679 really hope we're able to come over here into the uk so lower your phone bill at 00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:23.440 linusdotting.com and get 25 in ting credit we'll have that linked below 00:20:22.320 --> 00:20:28.559 so thanks for watching guys if you disliked hit that button but if you liked it hit like get subscribed 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:32.159 especially to steve you can find him over at gamers nexus there is no 00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:36.880 apostrophe even though it seems like maybe there should be 00:20:33.600 --> 00:20:38.159 don't stress about it uh also 00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:42.159 what else oh yeah you can check out where to buy the stuff we featured at the link in the video 00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:46.400 description i wouldn't recommend using it like this also down there is our merch store and what the hey why don't 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:51.440 we put steve's merch store down there as well do you have these mod maps again yet uh they will be here pretty soon 00:20:49.520 --> 00:20:54.799 yeah okay and we have the medium ones now so these things are fantastic 00:20:53.280 --> 00:20:58.960 whatever your tech project is whether you're working on a computer like him or 00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:01.760 a mobile phone or whatever you just call me a computer
