all right we're testing out hot line - Hot Diggity damn I'm excited we're gonna talk about overclocking thermals performance ICO specs and probably something else that I just forgot we actually get to see hot line two in action for the very first time I can't wait to show you guys the results and this is gonna be good but first look at this look at these custom GPU back plates that the folks over at v1 tech made for me look at them they're beautiful they use like a dye sublimation process I don't know it's totally over my head but look at how nice it looks addressable RGB strip on the back you get your choice of mounting it with little magnets or adhesive and a couple different options for connecting all this stuff is included with what they sent me and I'm sure it's included for any of their other customers so you can wire this straight to your motherboard with a 5 volt 3 pin cable they've also included the cable for Corsair IQ use you can control this with the IQ software assuming you've got like a lighting node pro or a commander Pro inside of your system which hotline has both and finally you could connect it straight to your power supply via SATA with a little on the controller here controller and receiver but the included remote handy awesome stuff so stay tuned to the end of the video where I install these guys actually I don't know if I'm gonna be able to install both I think I can probably get away with installing the top one or one on the top GPU without having to you know drain the system and pull things out that would obviously be the preferred method but that would take too long for this video so I'm gonna try to at least get one of them on the top GPU so stick around for that should be exciting also check out v1 Tech I'll put a link in the description they make a lot more than custom GPU back plates this video is brought to you by mod mic modular mic you can fix to any set of headphones for the best of both worlds high-quality voice audio superb noise cancelling and the option for wired or Wireless models are just a few reasons I've been using their products for years mod mic is a great no compromise solution for gamers who care about sound click on the link below to learn more all right let's talk about let's talk about the performance here starting with overclocking now if we look over here you're running at 5 gigahertz on all 8 cores and that's at one point two nine five volts didn't even have to cross the one point three volt mark now I did actually overclock the 9900 K to five point one gigahertz at one point just because why the hell not and that took about one point three three five volts to get it stable but it was just a little too hot for my liking the spiking up to 90 see most of the time it was in the high 80s but still just a little too warm for my liking so I brought it back down to 5 gigahertz as for the GPUs oh wait no no no hold on I haven't even oh gosh I haven't even opened up afterburner so the overclock settings haven't been applied yet let's just do some on-the-fly overclocking gosh yeah so I maxed out the power and temp sliders but a bing bada boom our core clock offset was given a 115 megahertz pool and a memory clock was like 9 I think I'm gonna ply that please don't crash become pretty cool groove yeah this is these are the settings these are the overclocked settings that it's been running at for all the benchmarks and I stress tested it for about an hour and a half and everything's hunky-dory everything's great look at these GPU tips okay this is the the table GPU I believe 50 C 50 C and that's it over two gigahertz Oh second card also over two gigahertz 51 C now I don't think the GPUs are completely heat soaked at this point because over the course of about 6 7 hours is about how long I've been testing a hot line today the hottest the GPUs got was 64 C on both carbs at over 2 gigahertz I'm I'm over the moon as for the CPU temps were hovering in the 7 B for the max of 75 of course that might go up a little bit put in my testing today didn't really get much hotter than 78 79 so below the 80 mark 5 gigahertz on a cores on a 99 hundred K custom water-cooled I'm a happy camper I'm gonna try to not bore you with many more details and then you guys are very anxious to see the results so the benchmarks I ran ran seven games all right seven triple-a titles at 2560 by 1440 as well as 3840 by 2160 commonly referred to as 4k using the latest wiggled driver from Nvidia at the time of filming also you might notice a little of homage to the original hot line this is the original core i7 59 60 X that where there was an OG OD hot line in case you forgot this is an 8 core 16 thread chip back in the day when most gamers only had 4 cores oh my how times have changed on the last thing I'll say is that in a couple of the games maybe one or two titles you'll notice that the frame rates the average frame rates between both resolutions are very similar that's indicative of the CPU bottleneck not even our 9900 K overclocked and water-cooled can keep up all the time with our 220 ATT is in SLI alright I'll shut up now so guys here it is the performance numbers from a brand new gaming rig Wow hotline 2 is pretty fast huh boy yes she is she's very quick I think we were getting on average across seven games 165 FPS at 1440p so definitely passing the 144 Hertz threshold which is pretty awesome and I think it 4k the average was 125 something like that hundred 25 FPS one thing I forgot to mention before I ran the benchmarks or before I showed you guys the benchmarks was acoustics we're on the quiet profile within Corsairs IQ software that's with all six fans you know it does ramp up a little bit becomes definitely audible it's even audible right now honestly although it's bad test because we have one of the side panels off but still nothing that's gonna annoy the average person certainly not me I think I think he's purring more loudly than the computer right now stop doing that my mic right here people are gonna hear you oh we still have to install the backplate let's install the backplate that's from the first hot line it's a tribute whoo power supply huh not a bad idea would be cool is if we actually made it like a little custom sign here that said rest in peace hot line you know like a little memoriam textarea yeah something like that anyway we're getting off test let's let's let's install this GPU backplate so I'm gonna just start with the top GPU first this entry points not gonna fly we got the pump res in the way and then if we go up top here also in the way wifey sauce actually came up with the idea of removing the rear expansion slot great great idea honey and shoving it into the rear if it fits it looks like it does the other thing is well clear this tube this tube is very very close to the existing GPU backplate you know what actually before we do that I'm gonna turn the system off alright systems off let's try this again oh you know I'm actually gonna put some adhesive on first there we go okay it's really hard to push it through because the adhesive gets stuck on hope the back plate oh that's like giving birth definitely suggest installing these outside of the case if you can help it that actually looks pretty dead-on it's good fitment it like fits right over the existing ek back plate so that's good now off-camera I actually already wired up the receiver here you can see our receiver / controller it's directly connected to our power supply plug Dion maybe we should go for the second one thank you just gonna do the little ones this time I think the little ones will be enough and we've got our adhesive on the back plate so that's easy does it we got it we're good we can't boot it's gonna be all RGB it's gonna be all rainbow at first before I cue kicks in look at that holy okay that that kind of just takes the build over the edge doesn't it hot damn v1 Tech everyone very nice very very nice look at those effects let's see this is controller control both back plates at the same time or do we have to use two of them oh it controls both that's freaking awesome mmm that's cool that's that's a contender it's very retro for some reason all these are pretty cool how does one decide between so many cool effects all right y'all it's pretty much gonna sum it up here I think this this build speaks for itself I I did a great job and I'm the best why are you laughing oh come on really ruining the shot very classy girl anyway if you guys liked the video toss a like on it my Vizslas can't even hold the camera still anymore be sure to subscribe to the channel for more tech stuff coming at you really soon I'm gonna murder you and I will see you guys in the give me the damn camera
