Video Transcript:
today we will attempt to cool the I9 14,900 K processor which consumes 400 wats of power using various items we'll start with the three section aiio cooler a super Tower a couple of mid Tower coolers stock coolers Ram a chipset heat sink CPU lids and end with 1 watt heat sinks used for Raspberry Pi in total we will test 10 cooling systems and one very hot CPU and in the end we will find out what happens to the processor if we allow it to heat up to 115° C let's start with the first cooling system a three-section aiio from Leon Lee costing $250 which for some reason is not in the box as it's already next to the computer I should mention right away that this is not the best AO for cooling an I9 processor I had another AIO that cooled this CPU even better when it was young and not degraded more on that later this processor could reach power consumption levels of 4 400 watts here's proof in tests almost 400 watts however this AIO despite its price cools slightly worse although it looks better and has a display nevertheless despite everything mentioned above this AO will serve as the Benchmark in this video I should also show you the temperature at which the results were recorded 33° C honestly I want to die right now I won't be gentle with this AIO I'll immediately turn the power limit to unlimited under these conditions the CPU consumes 260 to 280 watts and heats up to 105° while maintaining almost maximum frequency of 5. 6 GHz on all cores even the cat was stunned by such powerful power today we will only be testing two games cyber Punk and Minecraft Bedrock because both are capable of loading the CPU on all 32 threads and cyberpunk with a consumption of 200 WS the processor holds 5. 7 GHz and delivers 120 FPS as you can see the GPU is underloaded regarding Minecraft unfortunately this processor has degraded a bit and after 6 months of use it stopped holding the stock voltage in some programs therefore for Minecraft I always add plus 100 molts to the voltage for stability and in Minecraft power consumption reaches 300 watts the CPU slightly lowers the frequency while chunks are loading and the maximum FPS was 40 frames here's what the processor delivers at 200 watts and unlimited consumption in cinebench the difference is not very significant to be honest as for the results in my opinion not bad the AIO dissipates 280 watts of heat but how much heat will the next Minecraft block I think it should be said right away this is not an ad for this strange cooler I added it to the test only because it is the most gigantic Tower suitable for the 1700 socket the Deep cool assassin 4 is a super Tower with seven heat pipes costs 90 bucks which is almost three times less than the previous AO with a claimed heat dissipation of up to 280 watts and a noise level of only 22 DB sounds good looks better on camera than in real life they included a whole 1.
5 GS of free thermal paste warning remove before installation but what if I don't remove let's check it out the cooler is very easy and intuitively simple to install clearly designed for those who break everything they touch and for that I give the manufacturer a plus although I still think it's overpriced damn 105° on the desktop I barely managed to extinguish this monster so with a 15w power limit the processor scores 2,500 points in CPU Z and heats up to only 60° the frequencies seem low let's give it some gas 35 watts and the temperatures are perfect wow it scores 6,000 points on paper for a moment that's the level of the I9 99,900 K and 80% of Gamers worldwide dream of such performance I'm impressed by how powerful this sticker is I'm ready to conquer new frequencies let's try 50 WTS ooh unfortunately our sticker couldn't handle 50 WTS resulting in a local overheat and the computer shutting down I'm confident that if we give this piece of paper a week or two to properly soak up the thermal paste just kidding forget it let me put this big block back and show you the Real Results I'm shocked but this Tower actually dissipates 280 WTS of heat the temperatures are of course high but look at the power consumption in cinebench it even scored more points than the three section aios turns out it's a pretty good cooler with a 200 W limit the temperatures are excellent in games the performance is similar to the aiio and in Minecraft the consumption even spiked to 308 Watts this cooler is fantastic I really liked it in terms of noise it's still louder than the AO at idle but not too bad the next tower has four heat pipes which is three less than in the previous one is named this way cost three times less than the previous cooler and nine times less than the aiio it's claimed TDP is 130 w at first glance it looks good but on camera it looks worse than in real life the heat pipes are nickel-plated but have direct contact the base is flat and it comes with free thermal paste installing it is incredibly inconvenient you curse it 10 times while screwing the mount to the motherboard to secure it to the motherboard you have to remove the fan and then as you start tightening it you realize you're not threading it correctly you angrily unscrew it and realize you've damaged the thread and now need to file down a few threads to screw it back in after successfully filing the thread and screwing in the mount you notice the plate is bent even though you didn't apply any pressure the mounting system by the way is the same as the previous deep cool but unlike deep cool this product is budget friendly and the manufacturer saved on everything they could including the metal as you can see I hope the flimsy mounts and inconvenient installation are the worst I'll see from this Tower if it also cools poorly it's a disgrace to such coolers I'll start with the claimed 130 WTS and it actually holds 130 WTS quite well I can see with the naked eye that there's a margin because 85° is a laughable temperature for the 14,900 K far from the 105° limit how about 150 50 Watts the CPU frequency immediately jumped by 300 MHz and the temperature didn't even approach 100° well almost what am I waiting for let's see what it can do 170 Watts the frequency increased by another 200 MHC the temperatures look scary but the PC didn't shut down so the cooler is coping in games the frequency is in 5. 7 but the FPS and cyberpunk is still around 120 frames in Minecraft the frequencies dropped to 4. 6 GHz but the chunk still load quickly for an i5 like the 13,600 K this Tower is perfect if only it were easier to install it would be ideal the next Pokemon is from the same brand but with only two heat pipes costing only 7 Bucks 50 which is three times cheaper for the previous cooler and 33 times cheaper for the AIO and a claimed TDP of 85 Watts unlike its older brother it has not a 120 mm but a 90 mm fan and a more convenient ring mounting system I don't know why but I like this more damn what a setup look at what happened well I'm probably overheated from this cursed heat you can install it and throttle for life I barely turned on the computer when the radiator was already burning my hands the cooler holds 85 Watts easily at only 80° 100 watt plus 10° 130 watt already 100 ° and unlimited the same 130 watts and 100° so 130 watts is the limit but I saw on the internet that there's a boosted version of this cooler which costs a little more and has not one but two fans and a TDP of not 85 but 100 watt and I thought why not check this cooler with two fans damn this is getting tiring if you didn't understand what just happened you're probably not living in Ukraine the additional fan added a free 20 ws and I noticed that the I9 is degrading not by days but by hours even cinebench won't start without an additional plus 20 molts despite the meager cooler the processor delivers better performance than the 32 core thread ripper in games performance is still quite good I think this cooler is a decent competitor to our next cooling monster when building a budget PC from scratch and now the brand new Intel laminar boxed cooler which costs two times more than the previous cooler and 17 times more than the AIO is rated at 65 Watts but I feel like the manufacturer is lying and this little guy can do more it's very easy to install and remove but some people might encounter difficulties during installation for example I might have some at at 65 Watts we can get 10,000 points in CPU Z and 85° on the cores at 85 Watts 90 to 95° and 100 Watts 100° the maximum this little guy can dissipate is 110 watts of heat thread rippers a bit better but in games despite the frequency dropping by a whole gigahertz FPS almost didn't drop we lost only about 10% but the processor's power consumption was almost half so maybe forget about those 57 GHz Minecraft lost only five frames next are custom cooling systems I made a strategic decision to reduce the processor's power limit to 35 Watts via bios it can still be raised through Windows later but for now the processor shouldn't overheat while the PC is booting the next candidate is very similar to the previous one with the difference that it was designed 18 years ago it's a boxed cooler for the 775 socket got to me for free and it is infinitely cheaper than all previous coolers as you can see Intel has made significant progress and process are cooling over these 18 years comparing the amount of metal the new cooler is even smaller but the weight Remains the Same even though I don't have a scale I can feel it they only added a copper core in the center now I'll transfer the thermal paste from the previous player to the new old one and we can begin I should have studied to be an economist I would have saved even more now but that's not all now I'll go rip off a fan from the water cooler it's racing grade ready to conquer Untamed frequencies and undip watts of compat for a small price while removing one I realized I had to remove them all what a shame for 250 bucks they could have made the fan removal system easier I almost got tangled up trying to remove the one fan here it is spinning up to 2,450 RPM and it's 120 mm I hope it will help me dissipate the megawatts of heat from my half dead processor it holds 65 WTS just as well as the modern variant the maximum our 775 cooler can handle is 85 to9 wats of heat with temperatures exceeding 100° C the thread Ripper has pulled far ahead but remember this guy consumes 250 watts and our CPU consumes only 90 WTS games run very well on a piece of aluminum though this time the frequencies are like those on some souped up Zeon from Ali Express that's been retired for 30 years who needs those 5.
7 GHz when we have 90 frames per second at 3. 7 in Minecraft I think it's already advisable to reduce the render distance of chunks but it's still still playable the contact is just perfect the next item I'm going to use to cool the processor needs some modifications because it doesn't fit in the socket space as you can see it's server Ram from Mac Pro 1. 1 to be exact these sticks are from a time when even memory modules had their own processor or graphics card judging by what they look like imagine one module can consume up to 20 watts and there could be eight of them in a computer 160 WTS just for the ram insane computer everything in it was powerful so at a minimum these heat sinks can dissipate 20 WTS of heat but that's in full volume now I'll cut part of them off well I think these heat sinks have a great future soon we'll be able to play cyberpunk with their help and for better contact I'll tie the heat sinks with a string 25 watts and already 90° 35 Watts over heating I'll have to figure something out at 25 watts because nevertheless it scores 4,000 points with such modest power consumption in the center bench ranking we have sunk below the floor even a laptop I9 outperforms Us in games it's even worse 33 frames per second at 31 Watts I somehow think it's due to the critically low processor frequencies so I disabled most of the cores leaving only six performance ones and the result is obvious 60 to 70 frames per second but 35 watts is too much I inhaled aluminum shavings from those heat sinks while cutting them and thought why not disable all the performance cores and leave the efficiency ones and look what this processor does on efficiency cores 60 FPS at just 25 watts processor doesn't overheat at all of course you can't disable all the performance cores at least one must remain if you disable it in the game stability worsens next I put a radiator from Asus secured it properly and it's an exact copy of the ram heat sinks Al a couple of degrees worse so we won't Linger on it and move on processor Lids four pieces from 775 CPU which need to be polished a bit for better contact with each other that's better I have less and less thermal paste so it's time for strict economy I had to scrape off the thermal paste from everything it was on well I'm not a millionaire to buy new thermal paste every day all right as one old man used to say Thrift must be Thrifty and still the thermal paste wasn't enough this is how it work look I'll also add these heat sinks on top they will bind the lids together I also added a little fan which didn't really change much but it needed to be mentioned oh my God 70° at 70 Watts later I rearranged the lids placing them directly on top of each other and the result was better but the situation is critical at 25 watts the PC is clearly not as fast as it was at the same 25 watts with radiators so I made the Strategic decision to remove those shameful radiators from the processor lids and install the AC radiator securing everything properly I managed to push the processor to 35 WT achieving an impressive frequency of 2.
9 GHz on the efficient cores additionally I undervolted the processor by 50 molts which gave an extra 200 MHz on the cores now we have a cosmic 70fps in cyberpunk the temperatures are off the charts but the PC doesn't shut down and is completely stable I tested it for a long time but that's all Child's Play compared to the next cooling method the reason you came here I set the maximum CPU temperature in the Bios to 115° I completely remove the shameful thermal tape from the heat sink because it transfers heat worse than regular thermal paste now we'll find out what Raspberry Pi heat sink are capable of in terms of cooling one of the world's hottest processors it looks very reliable I won't even secure it because I don't know how 86° on the desktop without any load consuming only 9 Watts but I think we can play on this and here's why I have a trump card that I haven't mentioned throughout the video and now I'll show it to you all this time cyberpunk has been running on maximum graphic settings which significantly affects not only the GPU but also the CPU so now I'll lower them to the minimum I already undervolted the CPU and increased the power consumption to 10 watts and what is this if not success 30 plus frames per second if you increase the power consumption at 12. 5 watts the computer turns into a rocket 35 to 45 frames and it's almost comfortable to play I played like this for another half an hour then increased the power consumption to 13.
