Our Coffee Lake Gaming Build is FAST! - pt. 2 BENCHMARKS

2017-10-23
previously on me building my coffee like gaming system and so I realized that working with an ITX motherboard regardless of case size I mean this one is so gigantic is still quite challenging because of Cale management and how things are really concentrated in such tiny spaces I try to make sure you this space is as clean as possible but of course the compromise is having all these cables and just making sure that they're flat enough so the the side panel could close just fine and so the next thing for me would be to figure out how to position this case inside my space so it has been a few days I've made some adjustments I have overclocked the chip and this I five is impressive so let's check it out right after this the master of vast curved gaming monitor is now available measuring at 35 inches with 34 40 by 1440 resolution at 100 Hertz and free sink support with nice stand that can do portrait mode because why not so join the drop with a link in the description below to get your game on ok so first of all the idea of two pcs at one desk didn't really take off for me because the shift X enclosure is just too different to fit in my space and I don't want to really hide it under the desk plus my 4k display isn't exactly gaming friendly at 60 Hertz so instead I've decided to have a gaming desk in the office with the proper 144 Hertz display and proper gaming audio - so I used the element amp for my rising workstation and this new arc headphone amplifier from Mayflower because it also has a microphone jack so I can plug in my headset and not really worry about reaching into the top section of the case for that IO so actually since getting this set up I realize how perfect and the ITX form factor is for let's say a secondary gaming system especially in an office as small as mine and while the case is super tall and I'm not really using it to full advantage I really do appreciate the minimal footprint the case occupies on my desk which is about the same as the monitor and to complete the build inside I actually removed the whites leaving and the extensions and the RGB memory because it added to the bulk of cables and fantex actually included a thin 8 pin CPU extension that I routed near the fan to the rear and also this entire midsection is now a little bit more under control cable wise without the stick extensions I have added non RGB g.skill memory at 3200 megahertz and the rest of the system has stayed the same now I couldn't flip the radiator because the tubing is not long enough and you can see how unoccupied the bottom section is so while I appreciate having the option to install a 280 Milan radiator to cool my 80 600 k the shift X is truly designed for a custom heart tubing water cooling only especially because the GPU on the other side has no air to breathe because of that glass panel and my GTX 1080 is not reaching the normal 2 gigahertz frequency instead we're staying around 1700 megahertz with a side panel closed and that idle we're also a little bit hot in high 60 degree Celsius so no wonder it is throttling at load as for CPU temperatures at stock 4.3 gigahertz it's kind of hot as well reaching over 70 degrees Celsius and the front panel is not deep enough to allow airflow to exit seamlessly so there is a bit of turbulence going on so we dropped 5 degrees Celsius by removing the front panel with the fans even a slightly lower rpm so the system was quieter and this actually seems to be the common complaint for a fan --tx paneling it looks awesome but the case needs to breathe more and for performance I am mainly interested in gaming frame rates but look at how it compares to my rising machine in Cinebench and then Adobe Premiere I am quite impressed at the rendering performance considering its a 6 core 6 thread part that's faster than my Rison 7 and that overclocked really helps with rendering performance and by the way overclocking to 5 gigahertz was surprisingly simple no issues with stability but the fans were ramping up for sure but that additional performance is quite nice now I do play it 1440p at maximum settings and performance is simply awesome you can see that over here and so the 80 600 K at this $250 price point is actually pretty incredible for games horizon 7 cannot touch these averages because the clocks on the AMD CPU are not high enough now I have considered to switch to calculate because of this fantastic Adobe Premiere performance but I'm going to be sticking with the risin for now because in multitasking coffee Lake still does struggle in terms of during a video and then me trying to do something in the foreground so whereas with Rison I have a little bit more multitasking ability even though the render times are slower but that might change if I get an 8700 K what a performer this I 5 chip I am honestly very impressed by the performance in Adobe Premiere in particularly like the thing is faster in the rendering videos than my rise in the machine you know I love my Rises but Wow calculate damn you're impressive but if you've been considering to upgrade perhaps from an earlier generation Intel processor make sure to check out our 8700 K versus 2600 K video and to see what the performance difference is between those two CPUs because the time gap is quite large but the performance gap and games isn't now I'm pretty happy with my case of choice because it's so tall and allows me to mount that giant radio and on the front even though there's a bit of airflow restriction live here and I'm not utilizing this case to its full potential I'm pretty happy with how little room a footprint that occupies on a desk so I can take this off hide it somewhere and then take it out again when I need the game alright so now I have two systems one for work one for play and I realized that I should have gone the ITX route for my secondary gaming station a long time ago because of the convenience of the space of course but I guess I just didn't have any coffee so thank you guys so much for watching make sure to check out these other videos here subscribe and we'll see you in the next video
