hey Chris hey Kyle I have the new stylings three here I think you're gonna love them nice can't wait to check these out thanks by the way my car broke down and I was wondering if you what the whoa whoa whoa hey hey stomach start don't don't know what's happening hey be quiet in here Oh Kyle wasn't prepared to be blown away by the new silent wings three fans from be quiet are you for a cooler quieter system click on the link in the description for more info lots of gas so this week I spent some time testing out the fastest $1,000 PC which I put together a week or two ago so if you missed that build video be sure to check it out now the main objective of that system was to get it under a mid-range price point but have it deliver high-end gaming performance using a 60 600 K and a ZOTAC gtx 1070 amp Edition so how did it do well the results are in and congratulations you're not the father wait that's not right these are the results we're talking about today and as you can see here I pushed our 6600 K to 4.5 gigahertz on air with the hyper 212 Evo which did a nice job of keeping low temps from surpassing 58 degrees Celsius overclocking our GPU on the other hand was a bit of a struggle due to thermal constraints not due to the cards custom cooler itself but rather the limited air flow in our petty axq pack 3 chassis now in the build video from a week or two ago i voiced my concerns about the cases single 140 millimeter intake fan and its ability to provide adequate cooling for our beefy GPU unfortunately I was correct in my assumption as the overclocked card quickly rose above 81 degrees Celsius when maxing out the temp targets something I rarely see aftermarket cards in well ventilated chassis x' do to keep thermals in check I dialed back the temp target to the safe rated limit of 81 degrees Celsius which did squander our Max OC potential a bit allowing us a core clock offset of just 125 megahertz and a 400 megahertz boost on the memory clock with these settings the card had a max core clock speed of 2070 megahertz but after 20 minutes of Unigine Heaven 4.0 we did encounter some thermal throttling with the frequency averaging down to 1979 megahertz as a result I'd be very curious to see how upgrading and expanding the fan situation in this chassis would improve thermal conditions and thus the cards overclocking Headroom but even though we couldn't swing any balls to the wall aggressive o'seas this is a gtx 1070 after all which is a powerful card even at reference speeds so on that note let's see how it fared in the seven benchmarks I ran on Windows 10 with the 370 2.70 wickel drive you so even with a mediocre overclock on our GPU the GTX 1070 amp Edition showed pretty solid performance all around yielding over ninety FPS in four of the six games tested at 1920 by 1080 and topping 60fps in five of the titles at 2560 by 1440 not too bad for the somewhat underwhelming score in GTA 5 I should mention that the game was run with 4x msaa which is pretty crushing on the GPU and to improve frame rates users can probably crank the setting down to 2 X for example without much loss in visual quality especially at quad HD finally the acoustics of the system were tested in order to see how much noise was generated when idling and under load here's a listen as you can hear the ridge was no louder idling than it was when powered off thanks to the zero rpm fans on the zotac cooler and I suppose that's one benefit of only having one case fan load acoustics are definitely audible from a few feet away but it's far from bothersome and easily drowned out by even the slightest in-game audio wrapping things up here it pains me to see a killer card like so tax GTX 1070 amp Edition unable to reach its fullest potential due to the cases thermal constraints and users looking to build out this exact system should really consider upgrading the front intake fan and installing a 120 exhaust at the back of the case if they can spare an extra 30 to 40 bucks that being said the rig still delivers great gaming performance at 1440p with enough horsepower for turning on all the eye candy that we PC gamers love oh so much all the while the PC maintains a favorable acoustic profile for unobtrusive gaming sessions case in point if the budget for your next PC is in the ballpark of $1000 today's findings indicate that this may very well be one of the fastest gaming PC's your money can buy but that's gonna do it for now guys before you go don't forget it does me a like on this video if you enjoyed it and also feel free to check out the store in the description below or in the card up in the corner where you can buy some of the finest hyper-threaded t-shirts on the interwebs as always thank you guys for watching subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and I'll see y'all in the next video
