So, here we are a mere 12 hours later or so, and we have the Vesta 5350 OC
validated at its factory overclock. So, we're actually going to be taking the
2500K processor that's included with this system and clocking it at 4 GHz out
of the box for your high performance
computing pleasure. Now, you can also see here that our max CPU temperatures
in our lab at that uh at that frequency
are just over 60°. And this is with four
instances of Prime 95 running with small
FFTs. And it's actually been running. I'm not I'm not sure how long it's been
running. Let's find out how long Crazy Russian has had it on the bench. And for
some reason, he's still pointing over there. And now he's pointing at me. My
mind is blown. Okay, let's stop the workers. And we see it's been running
for 15 hours and 4 minutes. That is a validated overclock. So now let's have a
look at what the system looks like once it gets installed in the case. So
because we're using the Define R3, all the cable management features are here
for our use. So all the power supply cables are able to be tucked away quite
tidily. Same with the SATA cables, the PCI Express cables, the 24 pin, and even
the 8pin power connector for the motherboard. You can see now that it's
not on the test bench test bench. Test
bench. We've got the Eco water cooling
system installed and is using the rear
120 mm exhaust on the case in order to
take that heat from the CPU and blast it right out of being used for exhaust.
Right. Yes. And blast that uh that hot
air right out of the case. So, the other components are not going to suffer in
their cooling because of it. We've got our GTX 560, which is actually the
loudest thing in the system. This thing is really, really
quiet. You probably can't even hear it on the camera cuz it's incredibly quiet.
The eco fan is is very, very quiet. The pump is quiet and CIC power supplies are
pretty much all quiet. So then all we're left with is the front cooling fan,
which is taking care of our 1 TBTE boot drive. That's a WD blue, as well as our
40 gig Intel 320 series SSD for
caching. I'll just show you guys uh the front of the case. If you're not already
familiar with the Define R3, you can see we've got two 5 and a/4 in bays for
optical expansion. We've got two front
120 mm fan slots. only one of them is populated by default to cool those those
drives. The other one you could populate down the road if you wanted to. And it
does have the modu vent cooling system. So that means you can actually take out
these covers here and install up to an additional
two or 140 mm fans in the top. And you
can actually remove the modu on the side and install an additional 120 mm or
rather or 140 mm fan on the side as
well. So, if you were going to do something like go with an SLI graphics,
or if you were going to not use the Kool-Aid Eco and you were going to use
an air cooled heat sink, you might want to install some additional cooling in
order to make sure your system's performing up to par. And I think that's
pretty much it. So, I just wanted to show you guys what we were able Sorry
about that. What we were able to do in the lab with the Vesta 5350 OC and uh
the overclock we've achieved. Oh, yeah. One thing I didn't mention in this video is that we are running 8 gigs of Mushkin
Silver Line RAM in here. Thanks for
