DerBauer's video in which he tests waterblocks: • Was risking a $700 mot...
Dude. I'm running a Ryzen 7 3700X overclocked & undervolted.
The temperature? 60'C at load, 27'C at idle with fans at 200RPM.
On AIR COOLING.
I quite honestly hate the concept of cramming as much power as possible into these chips. You get them running 5% faster for 50% higher power consumption... Why would you want a CPU that's barely faster while sucking much more electricity that's gonna cost you quite a penny in the long run, as well as requiring literal AIOs or custom water cooling to keep at sane temperatures?
Actually, thanks for the idea. It didn’t occur to me to undervolt. I’ll definitely try!
Maybe the Intel won't be so brutally difficult to cool if you disable motherboard "optimized" cpu stuff, like multicore enhancement and whatnot. Stick to Intel limits and you can drop a few more °C
As an added bonus, this will 100% keep the CPU within spec without having an insane amount of voltage pumped into it!
Sure, you might sacrifice a bit of performance, but at least you don't risk an early death for your CPU
I did the same with GPUS.
But i just moved to Siberia and put the rig in the balcony in winter.
That's one way to solve the problem :)
3°C is not really worth it, you can get 10-15°C drop if you do direct die, which then allows you to overclock and gain an additional 5-15% performance out of the CPU (e.g. compiling big C projects)
I don’t dare delidding.
Not sure why you bought the CPU that's notoriously hard at cooling when your CPU usage might stay around 25% or lower, unless you're doing heavy gaming at 4k.
I get more bang for my buck when I buy a CPU that doesn't demand so much power, reducing my yearly power bill. I never notice a difference in performance.
Why do u need such a rack mount system?
Is it for compiling Linux for the router project?
Because - if you use your eyes for a second - you will be able to see a hackintosh right behind him in his studio.
He already has quite a big PC, so putting the other in a rack would simply just save on space and clutter.
That hackintosh is being retired in favor of this new machine which is, yes, for embedded dev. I’ll do a tour once I’m done. If ever hahaha.
I'll give you some advice - If you don't mind just 1-2 degrees higher temps at the same noise volume - Put your fans in pull, behind your radiator. It makes it WAY easier to clean because you can just blow the dust off without having to dismantle everything to get to the dust in between the radiator and fans. Besides, if you're worried about the CPU bending over a decade of doing its job and decide to cool it with water, you're kinda a hypocrite, because the cooling is most likely going to leak or clog up WAAAY before the CPU bends enough...
@8:32 you risk bubbles in your thermal paste if you spread it like this. Put a couple dots on and let the cooler spread it for you.
you can test this out since there's usually plenty of thermal paste to go around; apply it a couple different ways, squish the cooler on it, and then pull it off to see what parts of the cpu got covered.
The mounting pressure is so high it doesn't matter. This has been proven before
@7:20 ofc the mosquito bites at the most critical moment...
What do you think about recent stability issues of Intel 13 and 14 generation CPUs? AMD kinda seems like only safe option nowadays
This channel in a nutshell: "But... I gets worse!" :D
Isn't that cooling setup meant for delidded cooling?
Nope, this particular bracket is for the "regular" approach. And the waterblock isn't compatible with delidded CPUs either, I think (but don't hold me to it)
Why do you still want to use an x86 CPU anyway? It has worse thermals than ARM anyway.
SolidWorks doesn’t work on Arm.
SolidWorks the CAD system..? 🤔
I'm a bit confused... Why rack mount the pc? A server rack implies server hardware which is usually noisy.
It saves space if you have lots of other hardware you put in there. Audio gear is common example of rack mounted stuff; and some of that is made to be silent (i.e, in same room as you are recording or listening).
Bonus points if you delid that CPU. ;)
Not here yet. :)
and use liquid metal
Hey buddy. I have no notes for this video, very informative as usual. I’m even getting used to the shouting 😂. Keep going, you’re doing a fantastic job with your channel. Much love.
is that a ROLEX :O?
Omega.
