But today, with the fix is peace crap.

This holiday season spice appear build with high performance options from M s.

I like the M e g z 3 90 godlike, which supports up to 4600 megahertz memory or their wide range of graphics cards from A M.

D.

And in video M s.

I also has full product lines, including bare bones, workstations, gaming peripherals, monitors and more.

To see all that M s, I has to offer click the link in the description below.

Just because you can do some things doesn't mean you necessarily should.

I was a little concerned when I started building this system with how densely packed it was becoming that there may be some cooling issues.

In fact, a lot of you in my last video were like, Hey, where are the cooling numbers?

Where's the temperatures?

Where's the benchmarks?

Why's that?

Said the end of the video.

I said, Load all my operating system and stuff on there, and that's what we've done today.

And what we have discovered is that there are definitely some cooling, um, inefficiencies in this.

So if you take a look right here.

You can see just how densely packed it is.

There's not a lot of room on the bottom.

The feet only stand about four millimeters off the floor.

So I've got it propped up right now because I can put bigger feet on the bottom to get more air flowing through the bottom of the case.

This is an updraft case.

He rises.

Therefore, we're trying to kind of have the natural rise of heat.

Give us some conviction to where we're blowing the heat through the case and up to the top.

The problem is with the motherboard right there and the i o shield, we loosen volume there.

This pump uses up quite a bit of volume.

Plus it puts off heat into the case Because of this heat sink, Our Ram takes up some volume.

Our power supply takes up a huge amount of volume, which means that that much air flow going up through the bottom is already blocked.

We have our ribbon cables along there.

We have our tubing, which is pretty warm.

We'll talk about that in a second.

And then, of course, we've got the top radiator right here, which, as you could see once again, is blocked significantly by the ribbon cable.

It's also block significantly by the power supply and we are also taking the heat of the power supply and blowing it right into the radiator.

So here's what this has given us.

We have a GP right now a Titan X stock speeds on water, that sitting at 55 c not terrible, but approximately 10 see higher than I would see them normally in a larger case with larger radiators and better air flow.

So we already know that that is causing us a problem in terms of just Heaton saturation now have four Ikea Vardar 2200 rpm fans on this and even when I run them at full speed, we still sit about 50 to see on the GPU.

No CPU, the 9900 k.

This was a little bit of a concern of mine is a hot CPU.

We know that it has the S Timur, the Sauder throw thermal interface material.

We've also seen some reports that it's not good better than the standard thermal material, but they've taken something, made it slightly better, but crammed twice as many cores in the same small package.

So basically you've got eight cores and 16 threads worth of hyper threading inside of ah, 11 50 ways eleventy five socket like run whatever it is, and it's ah, it's a lot of focused heat.

Even though I have a decent block indecent pump on here, the CPU factory voltages is getting extremely hot.

So I'm gonna have to do a couple of things today.

I'm have to take this apart again, which I said my last video, I hoped I wouldn't have to Yeah, well, crossing my fingers went, I will show you guys right now instead of bench.

I will actually hit ah 100 c at stock voltages.

I've even down clocked it.

I've got it running at 4.3 gigahertz on all course.

I'm not even letting any of the cores get to five gigahertz like the factory turbo will cause a factory.

Turbo will go to five gigahertz on one core.

I think it is, and like 4.8 on two and then it's steps down from there, right?

That's the turbo.

That Intel Turbo.

I've turned off all of the aces features on this because what I found was that I was hitting 105 c and throttling when I opened up Google Chrome.

I've cleared them in Max on here so you can see, but the packages idling at 42 to 48.

See, it kind of moves around.

We've got as high as 54.

We're not under any load.

I also have the fans running 100% speed right now as well as the pump.

You can see that our voltage is here on the V Corps is only 1.1.

That's nothing.

1.1 degree or 1.1 voltage on a like 8700 K would have my temperature's under load be somewhere in the fifties.

So if I go ahead and run the test right here, watch our course.

Granted, this isn't have all what does have only course they're they're they're So check and not keep an eye on the, uh the core temperature's right there.

Seventies, eighties 90 and 101.

01102104 And now we're throttling at 105 As you can see, if we look down here, I'm throttling for four gigs 3.9, 3.8, 3.93 point eight on some.

So we are throttling and our score was only a 1781 because the CPU was throttling.

I don't know.

I think I feel like the retention system on the Swift tech is terrible.

So now we have to tear it apart and see what we find.

So part of my issue with this pump block combo is the retention plate here is it sits off off the back of the motherboard and has these little like foam pads.

The problem is those crush.

And then, as you can see, it's sort of like Boz, And I'm not sure we're getting a really good contact here on the block, but the only way we'll be able to check that now is actually take it off.

And I found it easier to remove the whole motherboard than to move just the just the block because this brackets gonna probably fall off in the back.

And as you can see right here, all other technically is a cutout right here taking out the GPU and all that stuff does not make it necessarily easier to get to the back of this thing.

So I'd rather just work on it.

Outside of the case, it's just four screws.

Okay.

So right off the bat, though, I'm not too happy with that thermal paste application.

If you look at it, I mean, it doesn't go all the way to the edge.

It's very thin.

I suspect this one might need a little bit of lapping as well.

What we have to lose at this point, that's still spends a little bit so means the block itself could be high centered.

Okay, so I lapped the CPU and lapped the block.

It's definitely flat now and cleaned out the micro channels underneath.

Two years will be changing out the fluid, obviously.

So I'm gonna put this guy back together.

I'm not expecting this bill to obviously be amazing on temperatures.

I just want something reasonable.

And I dropped one of these squares.

I have to find it.

I've always got a screw loose, if you know what I'm saying.

Okay, here we go.

Lupus together.

My own special formula mixed just drinking water and and other concentrates.

But I guess let's go ahead and started.

You know why I was worried.

I dropped coolant down inside of the power supply.

Okay, so Right.

24 see inside of windows right now, all the same settings we had before.

So much better.

Um, you go ahead and go back to my fan expert now and put the fan curve back to where I had it.

Let's just go.

Standard fan curve.

All right.

Moment of truth.

Now with Senate bench.

Remember last time we ran this hit 105 on the package 105 on some core is it throttled way down to, like, 3.3 or something like that?

I remember it was 3 53 57 58 59 60 61 60 62.

And it's still sitting at 4.3.

So this should be significantly faster right now.

Here are the fans aren't ramping up.

I think this is a combination of a couple things.

I think it was a combination of lapping boat 18 73 e.

I think we might be able to actually put this back up to, like the 4.7 and then allow a couple of course, go five gigs like it's supposed to, but I think a couple of things happen here.

One.

It was clear that the temperature was getting too hot for the for the true fluid from primo Chill.

As after one day, it was starting to clog up and, like, solidify like jell.

If I was the best way to describe it inside of the Micro Channel, inside of the apogee drive to It's not a lot of space there.

It's very thin, So that could really have been causing us a terrible inefficiency of the block.

We also so we changed out the fluid.

We also left the CPU I h s as well as the blood.

I also left the eye hs on the CPU as well as the base plate or the cooling plate for the block itself.

And then we applied more thermal pace.

I did the X pattern rather than just the P method, like I did in the 1st 1 And our temperatures are significantly better.

So I'm gonna try.

I'm gonna try.

I want to try five gigahertz 1.2.

But I don't think it's enough voltage.

See if it crashes though 77 80 C 81 82 83 fans kicked up.

We're still 25.

See below TJ Maxx.

And we know Senate bench pushes harder than like Adobe does.

So they're 2136 on our score, and our max temp on any core was 85 and 85 on the package.

So and so 55 gigahertz.

All core, super doable.

Feels laughing because he gets to play with this thing.

This is his little travel rig, so of course he's happy.

All right, guys, we're gonna go.

Thanks for watching this video.

Sorry, we had to do 1/3 part on this, but these are the type of videos that are important because seeing is put it all together and stuff is one part of these bills.

But when you have a problem finding out the problem is just as important.

And the other thing I changed I forgot to mention earlier was that came up that better retention system on the back because I told you how it was kind of bowing down.

So I basically used plastic washers against the motherboard and then metal washers against the bracket.

Esos no short t make a shim basically so that it couldn't smash down because what I feel is happening is Thea.

I feel like there was a little bit of a Boeing happening with the bracket on the top, which was causing us to not get a good even seat of the block versus the CPU.

So we lapped It didn't really polish.

It was pretty shiny, lapped the CPU block and came up with a new retention system.

Changed out the thermal paste, changed out the coolant.

And this is what I think most of the the improvement we saw today that was specifically the retention system and the lapping of the CPU.

So there we go.

I feel so much better now is worried over here, the system apart and then be like, guys, I'm sorry, but, uh, yeah, we're done now.

Thanks for watching highs.

And as always, we'll see you in the next one.

Now, a lot of you guys really like this small for factor build.

I did.
