alright guys so you remember the Dan case a for v3 build that I assembled a couple weeks back well it's back again and the CPU if you guys recall last time in part two is overheating we've got a rise in 720 700 X in here 8 cores 16 threads I believe it was hitting 88 degrees Celsius at the time and that was clocked at 4 gigahertz running completely stock it's just a little too hot for my lucky so today what I wanted to try to do is swap that out for a risin 720 700 it is running at a lower base in boost clock however the other difference here though is a lower TDP 65 Watts on the 2700 compared to 105 on our 2700 X so hopefully that lowers the temperature is quite a bit with our 92 millimeter liquid arrow from Ace of Teck this is a 545 LC and it's probably the only 92 millimeter liquid i/o that you can purchase right now at least in the u.s. from what I could tell if we overclock horizon 7 2700 to the same clock speed that our 2700 X was running at which is 4 gigahertz I'm curious to see if the temperatures are going to be any different because it is a lower TDP chip we're dealing with some thermal constraints here in a case this size so it should be interesting to see how everything behaves so why don't we get the CPU swapped in and conduct some quick all right so we've got our 2700 non ex installed now running GTA 5 for about 15-20 minutes at this point this is the same game that I use to test CPU temps in part two I should also mention ambient temps may have changed a degree or two bearing that in mind though we are operating at three point three gigahertz on all eight cores right now running bone-stock on the CPU and the GPU for that matter now three point three gigahertz is 700 megahertz slower than our previous test on the 2700 X which was again operating at four gigahertz so of course temperatures are gonna be quite a bit cooler and as you can see there in hardware info we are operating right now at about sixty degrees Celsius which is a whole twenty-eight degrees cooler than the 88 C we were experiencing earlier that being said like I mentioned earlier I do want to overclock this 2700 and get it back up to the same speed as our 2700 X and see if we're still hitting 88 C so let's go ahead and try it out okay so we're back at 4 gigahertz on all cores with the voltage of one point three eight one two five that was the first number that I sort of guesstimated might be good to reach stability for this overclock and so far we've been playing for half an hour without a single hiccup however our temperatures aren't doing so great we're hitting 86 C I think we just got 286 see on the package which is only just a hair cooler if anything a hair cooler it's within variance of the 2700 X at the same clock speed so I'd like to go back into the BIOS at this point fiddle around with our voltage some more and see if we can actually lower the temperatures without sacrificing stability so there was a little bit here that that I didn't get to record because the system crashed I lowered the voltage a little bit too far it was at one point three four three and the system crashed after about 10-15 minutes a game play so we had to actually scalp the voltage slightly to 1.35 and you can see here that we are getting back to that sort of 86 87 degrees Celsius range which again isn't ideal so what this means is whether you have a 105 watt TDP 2700 X or a 65 watt TDP 2700 if you're clocked at the same speeds you will get around the same temperature and you'll need about the same amount of thermal dissipation in order to run that CPU effectively I think what we should do is not down clock it but just rather lower our overclock 3.8 gigahertz and and see what kind of voltage and temperature we can get away with that all right 3.8 gigahertz on all cores hold on these guys are killing my vibe sorry officer so 3.8 gigahertz on all cores sorry dude you made me do it 1.3 volts and we're rock solid stable I was doing some stability testing within a de Ida 64 and wouldn't you know it our temperatures have gone down by about seven degrees C we are now floating at seven eight seventy eight point nine we'll call it a flat 79 I was secretly deep down I think I was secretly hoping for anything below ADC and we've just barely made that mark so this is something I could live with especially because the amount of performance drop off you'll see in-game for most titles going from four to three point eight gigahertz is gonna be pretty insignificant maybe one to three percent five percent at most all in all these are probably the final settings that I'll be using for as long as I have this computer speaking of computers have you ever considered using the computer to build a website with Squarespace Squarespace
