need some sleeved cables how about some LED strips from now until October thirty-first cable mod is offering 20% off all their products on performance PCs dot-com click the link in the description below and I will show you the way what's up guys so first off I wanted to quickly say thank you for all the feedback you've shared so far on the first silver build video it seems like a lot of you guys really liked how the rig turned out with its shimmery veneer and stuff so I've actually deemed it worthy of giving it a proper name allow me to reintroduce you to elixir a unique concoction of precious metals sought by DIY alchemists in a time long ago ok maybe I'm going a little too far with this whole PC identity thing and as nice as elixir is to gawk at it's time to put a working load on her to see how it performs under pressure so cutting right to the chase here my testing methodology for measuring temperatures and acoustics was pretty straight forward for overclocking I took the 6600 k2 4.5 gigahertz at 1.3 volts and since our gtx 1070 for the win already came with a hefty factory OC i was only able to increase the core clock offset by 60 megahertz with 250 megahertz on the memory clock after running Unigine heaven' 4.0 for about 35 minutes with an ambient temp of 26 degrees Celsius our GPU core clock averaged out at a steady 2 gigahertz while our memory clock reached 20 163 megahertz temperatures were a little high here hovering around 77 degrees Celsius most of the time with a max of 79 if you remember last week's video the same graphics card was reaching identical temperatures in the fractal design to find s which leads me to believe this model just tends to run a bit warm though it does stay a few degrees cooler than the founders Edition now one of the concerns some of you guys had with this build was that the not to a redo fans that I used for the radiator on the CPU AIO were optimized for airflow over static pressure causing a lot of suspicion that they would do a terrible job of cooling our processor the verdict 73 degrees Celsius on the hottest core in package with the average temperature range between the 40s and 60s that's actually not too bad considering our 4.5 gigahertz overclock and I don't those temps are anywhere close to posing a threat to our CPU how much cooler the chip would stay of switching to proper radiator fans is the topic for another video which may come around sooner than you think at the very least even if these aren't the best possible fans for the task at hand the redo line is advertised to be whisper quiet while meeting not to his industry-leading standards and all that good stuff so with the system firing on all cylinders let us begin our obligatory sound test all right well Idol acoustics were virtually non-existent you can practically hear a pin drop at those noise levels load acoustics on the other hand are audible if you're really trying to listen for it but these fans have such a gentle sound profile that they quickly get forgotten in the background making for an extremely quiet gaming experience it seems the folks over at Noctua have done it again and impressed the hell out of us GG guys GG finally to test frame rates I put the system through its paces by firing up a number of intensive games on Windows 10 with the latest 3:7 3.06 and video drivers and ran all titles at 1920 by 1080 and 2560 by 1440 with our handsomely SPECT hardware running overclocked let's dive in today's epic moshpit of benchmarks so as you might have guessed the gtx 1070 and 6600 k combo absolutely tore through our 1080p runs yielding averages of over 100 FPS in 5 of the 7 games tested elixir was no slouch when it came to 2560 by 1440 either six out of seven games scored over 70 FPS on average and that's on ultra settings across the board unless otherwise specified on the benchmarks slides while our GPU temps could stand to be a bit improved overall today's testing points to a very capable machine that delivers high-end quad HD gaming while demanding little of your ears if certainly not your eyes that's gonna do it for now guys let me know what you think of these benchmarks in the comments below and don't forget to ask me like on this video if you enjoyed it before you guys go feel free to check my store and pick up a limited edition CPU cooler hoody to keep you warmer than an AMD chip for the holidays as always thank you guys for watching subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and I will see you all in the next
