9980XE Overclocking Stream Recap: Massive MORA3 Radiator

2018-11-17
so livestream if you missed it for the night Exe featured this which is a gigantic radiator that has for 200 millimeter fans on one side we could have done four on the other but we didn't have a mounting bracket for another four fans so we put four 140 s on the back for 200 on the front so we're doing here today is walking you through the bench if you missed the stream where you need to recap walk through the final results of our overclocking efforts with the 90 DXE because of course the ultimate goal the question we asked at the beginning of the stream was compared to the 79 80 DXE which you can deal it and get decent thermals and overclocks with can you achieve a similar clock to the 70 80 actually deleted with a 90 90 DXE with solder with a reasonable cooling solution not something crazy like dry ice or liquid nitrogen so we went with something that you can fit inside of a computer case provided you remove all other components in the case before that this video is brought to you by iBUYPOWER and the rush delivery to you program the fresh rdy approach gets high-end gaming pcs shipped the same day you order them and it's also one of the only places you can get a ninety nine hundred k for a reasonable price right now systems include the rdy enthusiast level gaming pc with a 20 80 TI 900k and 16 gigabytes of 32 hundred megahertz memory available with same-day shipping or pick up locally these systems are built by people who are experienced builders and component choice that makes sense learn more at the link in the description below what we ended up with then this is the obviously the showpiece here even ignoring the $2000 CPU behind it this is more interesting right now and that's because we've never worked with this before so this radiator we showed it at a pax event previously I think and the company is called water cool they largely work in Europe but I think they're expanding their US presence and so what irk will makes this this is called the Mora mo - are a I guess mo radiator or something and this is the more of 420 it is big enough to fit nine 140 millimeter fans on each side you can do 18 if you wanted or four 144 to hundreds on each side with an adapter which is what we did just just because it's kind of interesting so this is less air pressure than we would get with 18 140 s but it's better for a live stream it's bit quieter and honestly the thermals were completely fine anyway so on our max overclock result we ended up with let's see we were in about the 80s 4 5 gigahertz on six cores at one point three eight volts that's really good said to be not deleted where liquid metal is superior here just because it's a thinner interface but solder is easier to work with especially we start doing things like dry ice because with dry ice start going sub-zero that much you need their own place you can't use liquid metal liquid metal is really it gets better as the heat increases so as you reduce temperature it gets worse so solder should be superior as we reduce the temperature and drive it down really far but for this thing we're about 80 degrees for 5.06 core with one point three eight volts which is crazy good and all of that is thanks to the cooling solution so other than this thing which is just fun to work with it is also I don't know how thick is this the whole thing there we go in millimeters is sixty five millimeters or so that's counting the frame it's a bit smaller for the actual tubing as for surface area so it's obviously fairly thick the surface area though it's about 33 square feet and that's because all the fins of course in here have surface area so if you took out every single piece of metal all the fins and all the pipes and you just laid it out in a square on the floor it'd be about six by six five five point seven by five point seven square root of 33 so very large radiator is the point I'm getting at it's also really heavy and for that reason we're not really concerned about it going anywhere cuz it's I mean you would have to try to push it over it we did mounted on some feet here I think it has a wall mounting kit I don't know how far it spaces it from the wall but I think it's got a wall mounting kit I think dare bauer was working on like one case at Gamescom that he showed that might accommodate this but realistically you're probably using it externally and interestingly you can use this for passive cooling of about 200 watts so we'll be looking at that later but anyway this is hooked up to something that is much more than 200 watts we're doing over 500 watts for our 99 ATX e last night for the rest of the system other than the really interesting radiator we have the EK water blocks dual d DC pump we've used this in the past we use this for the rip J stream where we had the ice bucket and so that's got two pumps in it in and out hooked up I labeled those so outs going into the radiator at the bottom and then it comes out of the radiator at the top over there and then it comes into the block comes out of the block goes into into the reservoir and then into the pump again an ek reservoir as well I don't know how big that is but so that's our setup for liquid cooling we have some QD C's connected these are quick disconnects these are used for just if we want to dunk it an isolator it'll make it easier to extend the tubing length for that and then for the rest of the system what we have is an EVGA X 299 dark motherboard that we've we've been using this for 100% of our X 299 overclocking livestreams because it's just it's it's one of the easiest boards to work with for overclocking at this level not great for stock usage as we found out because it doesn't really run things at stock but very good for overclocking and so that's got on it a kit of g.skill Trident II black memory thirty-six hundred megahertz the memory we've been using this memory since repeal TT with a Titan B we use it again with rip J we've used it for all the high overclock streams and if for sure does 4000 megahertz but we couldn't get it there last night just stability issues part of its on the platform side the motherboard part of it is on maybe the IMC but more likely the issues on the motherboard side we're looking into it a bit even though it's held those clocks before because the issue is really at 4000 megahertz the tertiary timings and so the unsurfaced timings just get all crazy and screwy and if you don't manually tune them or you can't in the case of the unsurfaced ones then you basically just have to keep retrying boot until it rains and it works and we didn't have the patience for that last night because it was a stream so and I put 38 hundred megahertz on this CL 15 and then had a 264 refresh cycle which is pretty good maxed out the Refresh interval as always and then also pushed Tifa F aw for active window we had at 38 we can't get it lower unfortunately and then we had several other timings most of the small tertiary timings and unimportant secondary times right like four or six so that gives you an idea for the memory settings the block we should show this off to we will have some b-roll of this so the block heat killer for Seaview block which is just it's really it's got a lot of mass of copper in one spot and that has a dense array of micro fins and it's that helped with keeping our temperatures low last night vrm is cooled by the EVGA dark fans that are built in and then we've got the yellow and black cables hooked up so I could run a current clamp on this during the live stream which is how we to get live feeds of the power consumption about 500 plus watts for video card the video card is running really hot idle which I guess is just what RT X does but the video card is an RT X xx atti FTW three that got basically zero use we've got one of the best video cards you can get right now it didn't get used at all because we were just doing times by CPU overclocking and our objective was about twelve thousand four hundred points because that was what we got with an ice-cold 79-80 XC with liquid metal and we ended up at a bit over twelve thousand we're at 12,000 138 which is extremely good because this wasn't on ice is just on air it's on as I said a completely reasonable cooling solution that anybody could use a set of 4 200 millimeter fans so didn't use ice on this one not quite something you'd put in your case to be realistic but pretty damn good and for the clocks what you were all wondering about 12-thousand 138 how does that 5.0 on six cores which is really good 1.3 eight volts we have room for more if we want to do it and our memory already went ran through those settings we had one point eight five which turned out to be one point eight four so on this motherboard for the memory we ran SI at one point one eight five IO at one point three of you at one point two we had mesh at 32x and that can go probably to 30 through maybe thirty four and I think that runs through most of the settings we had so the rest of the cores were at four point nine for clarity on that so really fun set up to work with power supply should go through just because the power consumptive so I a X 1600 I for that and then we had a that's a corsair power supply we had a coarser fan controller in there as well commander pro and not really a fan of the fan control software but it is it is necessary to use this device and we just used it because I mean that's a lot of fans and they're kind of far away from the system so we just routed them all into one controller essentially I think you control the speeds for this stream so it wasn't too loud for anyone during the stream because if we max it out it gets gets quite loud as I can show off so as I was saying if you max it out it gets pretty loud most of that noise is from the 3000 rpm knocked to a fan it's it's a server grade fan basically so yeah lots of fun in the stream thank you for joining in if you joined and here's your recap I mean it's 5.06 core much better than what we got in the review we were stuck at 4.4 ish in the review we could kind of do four point six but it required so much voltage 1.25 volts to stay stable that it was just it was overheating and her getting clock drops which put it as worse than the 78 exe with liquid metal so that was our big hand up in the review is it's just it's not as good as dee-lighted 79 AD XE from purely a thermal standpoint that said we think this CP is probably a better bin so if that turns out to be true we just need to get a colder to get theirs to really stretch the clocks and with the current set up we can do that pretty well it's it's about where ours was the difference in points here at this point is primarily going to be the memory settings because we were faced with tertiary timing issues so very good CPU once it's under almost ice technically we put an ice cube in the reservoir by popular demand and yeah it'll be it'll be good once we put it under literal ice but still recommending the 790 DX e deleted if you're going for enthusiast overclocking and and you're looking at these two chips obviously we're ignoring like everything else in the market which are probably more sensible purchases in a lot of cases but if you need to high frequency and high core count you can get it with a 90 90 d XP of the semi 980 X II it's just a question of what are you going to do with it physically if you're gonna mod it and get the 790 to exceed and if not then this one's better stock I guess check the review for more on that but thank you for watching stored out gamers exit sign out to help us out directly and big shout out to all of you who bought stuff during the stream that's what keeps us going on the stream the store is the best way to support those and you go to patreon.com/scishow cameras axis for BMI scenes videos subscribe for more I'll see you all next time
