what's up everyone James $0.02 here and look what I finally got my hands on me much anticipated long-awaited in my opinion overdue GT x 1080 TI kingpin edition from EVGA that is a mouthful we haven't seen this since Computex if you guys haven't seen that video I highly recommend you go and watch it first I'll pop it out right here somewhere because we talked about what's custom with this car - what makes this more than just another custom cooler with some LEDs and graphics card oh no this card is different in just about every single way looks like a black and copper for the wind 3 but from about right here this line on the back of the GPU rearward is all custom this is a very one-off 10 phase power delivery - it's 13 phase it's 10 plus 3 so you got 10 power phases for this GPU 3 power phases for the memory and it's capable of a ridiculous amount of power delivery something I think I think Vince told me something like 1200 watts or something like that is capable of being delivered through this power delivery system so this is not for the faint of heart we got to a pin power plugs right here on the back which is kind of funny right the amount of power you can put through this and doing it with just 2 8 pin PCI Express but I digress that's besides the point we've got our evbot plug right here on the back what I like though is the way this card if you look at it closely the PCBs on the edges are normally green because of the the layer of the PCB in between is like a greenish yellowish color this one's gold because they actually gold trimmed this if I mean everything like so much detail into this we've actually got three mini DisplayPort a full size HDMI and a DVI and the reason for this and I asked them about this is why do you do mini DisplayPort because it's kind of annoying personally he goes well that's because we want to be able to accommodate single slot now I could have just done a straightforward you know put this on the test bench turn the fans to 100% well all these copper or fins do their thing but you know the only way to really get the most out of this card is to do like ln2 overclocking that's what it's built for the problem is I've never done Ellen - I've seen people do it I have no idea like what I would be doing I'd probably kill the card if I did that so unfortunately I don't think that we're gonna - did you hear that did someone say you're clocking okay so obviously I called in an expert here we've got Vince the one and only kingpin himself you might have heard of him if you haven't he's pretty much the world-record holder all the time if that spot slips he gets it back every single time that's kind of the chase right yep so Vince is holding right here the exact same card these are production cards these are not custom one offs like we saw at copy text so I mean what's different well the difference is number one doesn't have the cooler on it and it's a little bit greased up and ready for some L into action all right and this right here is the stock plate the cooling plate for the vrm correct yeah we made the vrm plate modular so you know you have to keep the the power phases cool when you're overclocking they do get quite hot at 1.45 1.5 volts yeah you can just just mount this and you don't even need the cooler so okay so we hear a lot about custom VRMs and custom power delivery on pretty much all the brands so what makes this one different this one is really I mean you know the average stock overclocked card maybe 400 watts for 50 watts but you know this card went pushed to 2.5 or 2.6 gigahertz I mean you're talking 900 to 1,200 watts it's a big difference that's insane so power delivery I'm not just the graphics card obviously as a whole it's very important we're actually running two different power supplies today we'll talk about that in a sec all right so why don't you tell me then if you're watching this right now and you're like well I put my hands in the grease like you said not to the like you mentioned literally that's lathered up and we'll talk about that so if you're watching this or you like me I've never done lnto before what do you actually need to get started well I you know I brought brought my stuff brought on my gear well for number one you need lnto pots you need the GPU pot you need CPU pots you need temperature metering equipment fluke 52 is very nice dual input you'll notice he's losing a lot of hardware monitoring not relying on software monitoring for voltages of which we know is fairly inaccurate yeah so we've got Hardware monitoring over here we've got some supplies yeah these are I mean it's pretty simple but it's this is a key point a lot of guys use these it has to be blue though yeah blue blue shop towels get them at Home Depot Lowe's very absorbent and these can wick away moisture from everything on this is that what you're fighting with Ellen to is moisture constantly constantly because we've seen them the I've seen other like videos about ln2 and you see guys that will you know they'll create this barrier on the motherboard yeah that's that's you want to isolate the airspace around the socket to minimize the freezing same thing on the card you can see the the GPU pot just has foam on it and once it's mounted you don't really want a lot of ice and water getting in behind the GPU and memory chips can cause a lot the same kind of material you'd find out like an HVAC unit right with those pipes yeah although it doesn't get as cold with the with the transfer but yeah I brought some here so I'm just some half inch flat foam yeah exactly if you can get this at like Home Depot's yeah it's like HVAC insulation okay what is this tube right here this is the temperature probe yeah this is a k-type thermocouple very accurate they read down to about minus 196 pretty accurately so I use these all the time okay now tell us about the pots because you were telling me that you actually designed these yeah this is my f1 dark pot and this is good for the new socket x-29 ein and many many past sockets it's competitive look pretty Universal here yeah it's definitely compatible with many and this is a great CPU pot turn around for a while can handle ten and twelve core no problem actually this is another another thing you need it's very helpful this is a heater plate so there's a heating component in here okay which heats the socket and fights the condensation that we were talking so you want to cool it down to a certain degree but you want to control how cold it's going with this well you you don't want to cool the problem is if you don't use this the whole PCB will freeze the memory slots everything that causes a new level of problems huge problem cuz electricity doesn't like to be frozen nope so basically this mounts on the bottom of the motherboard and these rods are used for pass-through like you said and then the pot mounts from the top top side right on top of the CPU you just want to cool the CPU you don't want to cool the whole socket and most most guys have developed their own their own cooling solutions to like you've designed your own here are these available for purchase yeah I saw these on KPC com I saw the GPU pots on kpz calm the temperature probes the thermal grease a lot of this stuff I've developed from many years of our garden now Vince told me he's gonna leave these with us that way we can start getting our hands dirty and hopefully not frozen right we don't wanna we don't a terminator situation here something to notice here too obviously we're using the dark x 299 board here from EVGA this has active erm cooling as well did this play a big part too on on getting X to 99 where we need it in terms of overclocking actually when we did this board you just need light airflow on the V RMS it's we increased the face count on here and it's very very good what's cool is this isn't just a typical piece of aluminum that you would see on their County as the heat scene there's actually heat thins in here is there a pipe in there as well um I believe so yeah there's a P those are those fins are soldered and it's actually a very high quality heatsink it's not just some a slap on aluminum piece still can't wait for this one to make it to market here we're still a little bit away but hopefully soon we'll get our hands on one what's the heat gun for then and the end the torch okay well the blowtorch is is really a key point of overclocking basically if it gets too cold you can heat it up with the torch I use map gas because it has a higher combustion temperature over 2,000 C and it burnt burnt I think it burns cleaner than than propane and there's there's once we start going I can show you some some tricks on how to how to get the pot to pull down quicker by using the torch and you're using your own brand of thermal compound yeah this is kpx I developed this recently in the past a year and a half okay so is there is there something special about that with the temperatures involved well the problem is when thermal grease gets to around - 142 - 160 most commercial greases will freeze you here and it's it becomes an insulator Wow I need on't want that no because then we're gonna be going the other direction well yeah you see a huge Delta you could have you could have minus 150 on the pot but your your CPU temperature will actually be positive yeah you know with that know you know and then obviously we've got the L the L and - that's important Vince brought the small tank today he carries this with him everywhere he goes never leaves home without it something else we didn't really mention on this table though is the Vaseline yeah how come you can't mention Vaseline without a giggle right that's but that I'm pretty sure this is for the price involved in ln2 right because so that's not actually for the computer as much as it's for well you can use your imagination it's for protection I mean it's the right right we don't want to chafe you know I put it all over everything I put it around the socket I put it all over the memory chips and basically this will keep the card running without this the water can get behind the GPU can get behind the memory chips and then you see artifacts and then it's not working yeah because it's gonna find its way in there no matter what you do it just it's gonna work its way in there the Vaseline keeps it from getting in there it's the seems counterintuitive if you ask me well you know we gotta do next now we got to set this all up so I'm gonna let Vince do his thing and we're gonna hopefully maybe even break a record today who knows it's probably not likely because we're in MySpace and I'm not that lucky but we're gonna we're gonna go for it we're gonna see what happens okay so everything's together we're posted now once you tell everyone kind of what you do and how you start the process here okay so it's not as simple as just plug everything and go go gangbusters which is what I would do I would just like I'd be too excited to actually pace myself and I think I would try and go for the record right away that's not the right thing to do no you need to do things incrementally so I will assemble a system make sure posts make sure the cards okay boot into Windows maybe run a few benchmarks I think for today I really want to focus on overclocking the GPU so we will just leave the CPU at a reasonable speed it's 18 core CPU so times by extreme doesn't really slow bottlenecking theory then at what point does your cpu speed really start to limit your overall GPU score it depends on the resolution of the benchmark you're running and you run extreme support K right yeah it's a lot less yeah the difference between four point five and five point five or five point four is almost nothing in the benchmark okay he's gonna keep topping this off because it's boiling off over time well I think it's neat though is I thought it was based on a level like he wants to keep that full but he was telling me that it's specifically based on temperatures right so you're monitoring the temps and then you're adjusting based on that but something else that you have to keep in mind too though custom cooling and custom overclocking and world record attempts also we've got a custom BIOS that's on here that's going to help us do that so what's next now do we just scope next is I'd like to run some time spy extreme just to make sure that you know everything's cool and stable this is actually full of L&T right here I'm surprised at how well the vapors yeah okay so this is how he's filling it right here and he gets nothing but liquid which is really cool would you call that system yeah well basically there's a there's a phase separator on the end of here and what this does is it slows the velocity of the ln2 down and eliminates a lot of the bubbles minimizes the pressure it makes it a lot easier to deal with at the supply side of this line so many little things go into this and I notice you're not using gloves this cuz you're a badass no actually it's more it's more it's it's more safe to not wear gloves because it cuz you can feel the cold do you know when to pull away when there's a barrier between your skin and the Ellen to the Ellen to can burn you directly Wow as opposed to I can show you I mean I've seen the science videos to where the guys are like yeah it just it just boils off okay yeah that's it see I just felt like you pull like bez this felt like faucet water but if you had a glove on you would be burned instantly Wow so I don't and also socks I usually don't wear socks when I overclocked or you should have your pants pulled over so your socks can't get wet then you can kind of see how it reacts to one yeah you'll see like that warming will stop and then it will slowly start to pour or maintain now it's loading right now s'alright your you can you can hit the GPU again and you don't have to worry about anything freezing I mean the voltage is one point one volts decore right now now when the CPU test starts you kind of have to you got to like put a lot of ln2 in if you got to be ready to go this is getting kind of low too now one thing you know if we're standing here for a few hours benching then what happens is these containers start to sweat right oh yeah and this thing will be covered in water and you'll go to pour it and you'll dump water all over the board so you got to constantly do this all right here comes the what is it CPU test yeah hit the hit the CPU hard give it just fill it let's see should be okay but I have everything cranked on this right now cash in the memory and every day so it's gonna run hot yeah and a GPU of course in the CPU test does not that is very very nice you can see that thing heating up even you've filled it with Ellen - it's crazy right 4.5 that's it not when we're overclocking and the GPU say is that - 150 - 140 yeah you actually there's no load on the GPU during this part of the test so you want to lay off the GPU and just kind of let it go yeah yeah so yeah make sure it's valid and then submit it try to submit it to 3dmark calm and just see it goes under your account and everything and then we're good to go we can let it rip so we've been playing around this for a while finding our limits and Vince actually receded the pot the army mounted the pot because we found that mounting is like an art okay and yes he mounted it and yes he put all this together but I had a part in it pouring is important he said so yeah there's an asterisk next to my name on the world record but our world record was a 64 44 then we did at 64 73 then at 65 65 66 then at 60 601 and then a 66 42 so we added 200 more points to our score on top of the world record so what we're gonna do right now is we are gonna load up that score and we are gonna send it up to the cloud valid score as you can see right there so for the meantime until someone else or Vince himself decides to go in and break this score I will hold the single GPU world record in time spy extreme under the Canadian j-su sense don't understand why it's doing that but whatever this is I've always known this is the next level right skipping you know chillers and pail tiers and stuff like that but going straight to ln2 it's not half as scary as I thought it was I didn't even want to touch the thermostat the start of this because I was afraid I'm gonna burn my hands I've been pouring it all over my hands without gloves by the way and Vince tells me that having gloves can be dangerous actually why is that well the ln2 can burn your skin immediately if there's any fabric or anything in between the two services he told me that and I thought that that was interesting I mean even like special rubber gloves and stuff but a part of it splashed off the table and hit me in the lake and I've been pouring it on my skin you know as it overflows no problem but the second it hit my lake with the with the jeans it just felt like it was like burning in it was a really weird feeling but anyway there we go we are the world record holder hopefully this will refresh yeah I mean it's it's not it's not for everybody but it's definitely for the enthusiasts looking to I mean this is we talked about this this is my game right overclocking is my game I like games overclocking as my game but obviously we're just I've been doing it at club level up until now well it's does my 64 44 so he hasn't come back and beat me yet but I don't know well you got back up so we have backups see what you do is you save your score and then he beats you it's just like BAM it was my real score yes there it is 66 42 so we are currently a little under 300 points faster than JPM boy oh I hope he's watching I hope he's watching anyway guys we're gonna go thanks for watching today's video this was a fun project a huge thank you to EVGA for sponsoring this video Vince for coming out and yeah I I'm impressed with everything I saw and member that was without even pushing the CPU as far as we could because I mean we didn't need to know four point five all right we're gonna shut her down since we're letting everything everything's good warmed up we're gonna shut it down we're in this video guys thanks for watching check out EVGA comm also to you have your website kingpin : comm check it out all the stuff you see here is off the shelf like I said you can go and buy this today and start getting your I would say your feet wet but I'd say get your feet frozen in Ellen - alright guys we'll see in the next month look at that Canadian J first place I gotta figure how to change that
