The Infamous Intel Chiller, Threadripper LN2 Results, & Gigabyte's OC Lab Tour

2019-03-06
hey Ron we're at gigabytes OC lab now in Taiwan and this is high cookies lab so if you don't have a huhai cookie is he's I think it's fair to say the the main or only overclocker had at gigabyte doing an extreme overclocking hi cookie has placed several high scores is a very skilled overclocker and this is his lab so we have to show off some cool stuff like custom ellentube pots we have deleted 31 75 X CPUs here as well and then also the infamous chiller so today we're going to walk through the lab show off some of the really cool stuff here I kick my toasty lab talk about some of the more interesting our clocks and tests going on and hopefully get into some numbers for both AMD and Intel systems on the higher frequency higher frequency overclocks that high cookie has pulled off before that this video is brought to you by iFixit and the Manta driver kit the iFixit Manta driver kit is built out as a generalized tool for repairs of all types but the focus on game console repairs by including those strange proprietary bits phone repair bits laptop repair bits and more the bent a driver kit includes try Wayne bits spanners posit drive game bits torch security bits and everything else for general tech repair click the link below to learn more so let's start with the chiller the chiller is a highly chiller and it's a quick correction here I think our understanding from from one of our sources earlier at Computex last year was that Intel was running out something like minus 20 degrees Celsius for its chiller for the 31 35 X but I think this actually does seven so seven degrees Celsius for the chiller this is the one that it's about a thousand watt maximum power for the chiller and all this tubing right here is the heavily insulated tubing to run it so you just run it through a water loop chill it kind of like what we do for our overclocked streams except way better because we use ice so this is far more efficient and this hooked up to the 31 75 X which ran at 5 gigahertz and I think most of you know the story of that one and then over here is a one of the gigabyte X 599 motherboards and we'll have more information on this to build Zords working on it PCB analysis for us that should be really interesting so if you want to see his analysis of the board so much that the we did one for the Dominus and make sure you subscribe and check back for that but this is one of the the ex-59 nine boards that gigabytes working on it has a a I guess development heatsink on it so this is not the final heatsink we can show a shot of the final heat sink the final a mass production board as well but this is high cookie set up on the BRM with four fans that I think are just running because it's easier for for debugging purposes when doing the higher over clocks on the CPU and I guess let's show off let's show off this deleted one too so this is and you may have seen this when Roman did a deal it'd but this is a 31 75 X D lated and this one is special because if we flip it over on the backside we have a scorch mark so I think high cookie was it just that this was running too high too much power so I was just running too much power do we know like what kind of wattage above 1800 okay so above 1800 watts there's the result of that so just too much power obviously you don't need to worry about this at home for stock use but I I'm positive you have this under liquid nitrogen right just liquid nitrogen and there's the dee-lighted cpu so you can see the the die and you've probably seen this before at this point but one thing we were asking about is we've discussed in the past about how Intel these X 299 ex-59 CPUs went with a dual substrate and I never quite understood why and my understanding is it's just so that the primary substrate here with a die is more easily accommodated to the square ilm or the narrow ilm and so it's actually just makes more modular so Intel can more easily pull the the important part which is the die and its substrate off and put on two different packages for use in server or enthusiast desktop use case and stuff like that so so that's a deal a 230 175 acts with some scorch marks you won't see many of those I think how you cookie this this does not happen too frequently right it's it's not too common so that's not too common you give scorch marks but this is pretty cool as well so this is a custom Allen soup pot that was made for the X 599 overclocking and if you don't know when Intel did their 5 gigahertz demo on stage at Computex they were using the gigabyte board so we did our review with the ACS board ace using gigabyte are the only two motherboards 4x $5.99 right now and like I said we have some some more information on the gigabyte board that will come out shortly on the channel because we just got to see the mass production model that were close to it anyway so gigabyte was the one that was used for overclocking and I think also was the only board that was able to do 5 gigahertz at the time basis wasn't ready yet so this is the Alan teapot that if you wanted to do Alan - hi cookie made to fit on the mounting 4x $5.99 because as you've probably seen on our review $5.99 is a slightly different socket than normally it doesn't have the Iowa the the loading mechanism so there's no ilm on it and that makes it difficult to get mounting pressure and to adapt different Allen to pots on the market to it you have to make something custom so anyway sort of similar to like the t-rex or something like that and that it's a bit smaller but it's very high density high mass and then also over here is one of the ek velocities we used an ek I think it was the velocity I'm not sure but we used an ek waterblock like this for our children - 5 X overclocking and this one's been used for overclocking recently so I think the the relevant information that I have over here this board has a label on it 4.6 gigahertz for 104 prime95 okay is that a VX not a VX so four point six gigahertz was that with this waterblock yes okay so four point six G with this water block for 595 non AVX 33 X for the mesh or from Korb and then 40 200 megahertz 4266 for the frequency CL 18 on that and that was doing 800 watts for that which is pretty high but not quite as high as the 1800 watt burnout affairs another 31 study by max other you've written some high cookies written some other overclocks over here so 43 33 megahertz for one of the higher memory overclocks that was with a b c lk of 98.6 40 to 66 with VC LK of 11.6 and I think it's difficult to get above on and to be CLK yes so there is a screenshot that was behind me over here we can show as well was 4.4 for the memories 40 400 megahertz on that and I guess we'll just show that off quickly too so if you look here at DRAM frequency 2200 you're just multiplying by by 2 there but so 44 hundred megahertz hex a channel and this is the I guess the the screen shot of high cookies highest memory overclocked on this platform okay it's the highest memory overclocked on this platform and the overclocking is also interesting to talk about so a lot of you since we did the the stream with jost upon z a lot of you asked if we could do some kind of volunteer overclocking with AMD I'm working with Joe on doing more of that so stay tuned for that but hi cookie of course working at gigabyte has already done plenty of overclocking with a and the eags that make platforms for both Intel and AMD products so a thread Ripper I think under liquid nitrogen what was your highest 5.4 that's what 32 core 2990 WX and what kind of voltage for that five 1.5 volts 5 point 4 gigahertz okay over seventeen hundred watts okay yeah yeah so using a course here at a X 1600 I pulling over 700 watts and I guess I can note here too that we've done some load testing on the coarser power supplies in the past like I think the HX 850 and we took it up to like like 950 watts and it was fine so no OCP so on the for AMD overclocking with a 32 core or 2990 WX at a 5.4 gigahertz what what what was your biggest challenge at that point was it just thermal like did you have do you is there a cold bug with AMD or no no cold by okay so do you just run full pot okay well the GPU is okay well who says place by Y hmm hey Jim why okay okay so full pot for it PCI Express gen1 by Juan is that just for stability yeah okay hmm for Cinebench what do you know what Cinebench score you got 8,400 okay it's very high so for that am the overclock x3 99 gaming seven for the motherboard on that gigabyte motherboard of course so I think that's probably most of the cool stuff in the lab there's all kinds of test equipment of course I mean like for example just random digital multimeters lying around like this fluke 28 to our 28 III guess but on top of your highly chiller and then you have I think some other equipment over here like is this some tech just a digital a laser thermometer so just laid a thermometer and lots of cool equipment there's insulation all over the place there Allen two containers in the corner there's a Dewar also over there so all the equipment you need for liquid nitrogen overclocking and then of course doing some some research on water cooling overclocking on chilled water overclocking really interesting stuff as a lab hi cookie is there anything that I have overlooked here maybe you want to see the this is back to one hmm if it's right strong people yeah is it a shredder / or is it oh I haven't I have not tried this one actually it's very very good hmm yeah like MD is dead the people we just chill right yeah and they pop their certificate to air-cooling mmm so on the 28th course okay wrong air cooling and the 24/7 stable we open up at 4.2 okay and it's somewhat CPOE to do a proper proper one mmm wait 4.1 4.2 is do we increase it just for there that's pretty good prayer yeah yeah yeah very cool yeah so is this on market yet I think it's not good yeah okay so knock to a air color and you can see the cold latest sized appropriately for the 31 Saudi 5x and we've shown these these free and these threader Percy peas in the past as well and they work very well actually the cold plate size matters a lot so there's knock too as air cooler you said 4.2 gigahertz on this do you know what voltage 1.02 yeah pretty good so knock to a 15 1500 RPM fan so that's that's the I guess future products for the 31 25 X so that's gigabyte OC lab thank you for watching as always you can subscribe for more and of course we appreciate hi cookie and gigabyte for allowing us to film this if you want to see more of this content make sure you check the channel cuz we'll be in Taiwan and in China for the next two weeks so a lots of faculty tours coming up thanks for watching I'll see you all next time
