you guys from the AMD build I said I was gonna do you know a full AMD themed around the Radeon seven because I did it for the Titan r-tx I was like I'll do it for the Radeon the problem will has availability and because of the lack of availability on this card a lot of the block manufacturers were like we're not gonna be making water blocks so that was just like crap now what do I do if I don't water cool this thing I'm was gonna be shit like I did with the r-tx Titan and then this arrived origin PC builds high-performance custom PCs for gamers and professionals backed by 24/7 us-based support team they're award-winning high-end pcs offer the latest and best components for gaming and workstations origin PC also created exclusive desktop designs including millennium and Genesis desktops with patented variable mounting technology and now offer a new lineup of laptops with GeForce r-tx graphics cards customize your own origin PC desktop or laptop with the 7 some 970 Evo plus nvme SSD featuring read speeds of up to 35 hundred megabytes per second and write speeds up to 3,300 megabytes per second for more info on Origin PC systems and the samsung 970 ebo + SSD click the link in the description below what we got here so we've got a block dang that's heavy holy crap seek handout that is so heavy what the hell all right so this is gonna be interesting because if you've seen gamers Nexus video about why they use like that sort of a graphite pad instead of a thermal pad it's because of apparently the extremely uneven nature of the HBM and the 3d stack in there so I'm curious as to how they will moly that's a lot of metal - it's big big that's the right size ok this oh yeah I forgot they didn't increase the height on these that's why I was like why is this feel like an aftermarket card anyway I'm curious as to how they have us doing this because oh yeah ek and the whole like if you want the manual scan this QR code look at the amount of thermal pads that come with this and two tubes of thermal paste what I don't know yet if I can use the stock backplate with this which I would really like to do because it would retain at least something Radeon although the stickers are really ugly on there so we're gonna set that aside because we are going to go ahead and tear down this card so here it is with the block installed and the factory backplate retained it was actually pretty easy in fact you can't even include longer screws because I think they figured someone would probably want to keep it it looks pretty good though I think Phil thinks it would look better with the clear block I tend to usually agree I just wanted to keep it sort of black and silver like the theme we have obviously back there for the all AMD build and then this is what it clearly looks like you know we start so yeah now we have to do is we're gonna throw this one on the test rig we're gonna see what the temperatures are cuz I can't remember and rather than just using our old numbers in terms of temperatures we are going to run the loop let it get nice and warm with the air card and then we are going to throw this guy onto a radiator and stuff to make it a little custom loop for it and we'll see what how it improves on water I'm not expecting the overclocking to really necessarily get better but I'm definitely expecting thermals to get better and expect us to stay into the booth frequently long a frequency longer and probably even perform a little better with under volting so we'll have to see but now we can get to the whole point of this video we've had the graphics card running now way longer than we needed it to probably like 40 minutes or so we just want to make sure it was nice and saturated find the worst case scenario here it's all stock settings no undervolt no / volt no overclock just out of the box set it up and off we went remember the Radeon seven has two temperatures you have eighty like a max temp which is junction temperature and then you also have like the standard temperature which is kind of like edge temp and hottest is really weird so we're just gonna look at both of those numbers to compare air cooled cards get hotter way faster than water-cooled cards do because of how long it takes to heat up the water so we know for a fact we have saturated this way more than we need to we look at our temperatures right here our max temp that we hit on temperature was 74 and our max temperature in junction a hundred and eleven C we were we would definitely be throttling there our max core temp that were its frequency we got was 1806 and if we look at the chart right here it's that orange line so that orange line is turbo boost and that's specifically because of temperatures and all that junk so you can see something on this yellow line right here that's fan curve so something stressed it suddenly and as the temp and the stress one up the fan curve went up the GPU came down all the way down as low as 17 11 doesn't look like we went any lower than that so 17 11 no 1702 appears to be our low so we obviously want to see how our max temperatures fare I mean this Delta right here is more than 40 C right no no I guess 40 C we've been 114 so it's 37 C Delta between junction temperature and temperature so now we're going to throw a water cooled card on here with a 240 millimeter UK fan Vardar and PE radiator and C at those temperatures improve obviously they're going to is our water cooled as long as we make good connection with the thermal compound cuz what I'm concerned about is if you watch gamers Nexus video about when he used the contact paper and it showed what the spread is like between the GPU and the cooler granted the thermal paste is thicker so that's gonna make up for some of that gap but it wasn't very even because of manufacturing tolerances on the top of the 3d stacks so I'm curious as to how well it's gonna cool what we're anticipating is that the temperature will clearly come down what we're expecting the junction temperature to come down the most and be closer to the standard temperature so let's set it up do the same thing and see what happens that looks so much better already well it's not getting any warmer in fact the rad is even cool to the touch with the amount of CFM we have with this VAR DARS the air coming through is like how to make a guess it might be a degree or two warmer than ambient it's barely any different touching the back of the card it's like slightly warmish the front of the card is like room temp so we're gonna go ahead and stop this test and see what it is together because we can't see any of the overlay while we're in here so let's see our max temperature cut to 77 but max temperature itself was 47 so still still a 30 C Delta so like no matter what that number doesn't really get closer together but if we go ahead and look at this chart though look how much more steady everything is everything is clearly much more stable GPU temperatures stayed pretty much locked to like the 1750 1782 1764 1760 58 but we didn't do any overclock or anything so I'm kind of curious now if we play around some of these settings real quick what will happen it's not going all the way to 2000 those at 1956 for the junction temperature went up to 99 so on water so clearly clearly it's different something because the temperature shot up to 55 and 99 see that was our max right so where do we actually at right now 97 on water I want to see if it up at 2000 - that's a 1977 oh there's 101 1999 you could do it 1948 2003 it shot right back down in 1987 but I started bringing the voltage down oh alright 2052 though we couldn't get anywhere near that on air I guarantee that I mean the fact that we were still seeing 101 C on junction temperature on water but the max we saw on the edge template 56 C so there you go that's the GPU we're using for the AMD bill that will be water-cooled obviously as we did so you can now kind of get what the graphics performance is gonna be like it makes me wonder now if we can compare this to like a twenty eighty how much faster right but then you go over twenty whatever this isn't an argument about NVIDIA versus AMD or anything like that it was just fun to be like graphics card now has a block available for it and we cut well over 2000 megahertz out of it something I would have never in a million years guessed could have been achieved with with what AMD has a whole I guess especially let alone Vega how hot it gets did you imagine if we tried to push that on under water would not have happened yeah yeah exactly like that 64 it would not have happened on air heck no we were getting air Junction temperatures and the fact that dating the crash hard enough to where the system locked up because that it just recovered itself so alright well thanks for watching guys and as always we'll see in the next I can at least show you guys the block and stuff so here it is right here the block I mean yeah it looks like any other EK block and what do you expect
