This AIO is made for Threadripper, but can it handle it when overclocked?

what's up everyone jay is two cents here and we are going to talk about some cooling of the Red River today because why the hell not you've got it you gotta cool it right level of your gaming experience with the Corsair one small form-factor gaming pc featuring water-cooled intel seventh generation processors m2 nvme SSD support and liquid cooled GTX 10 series GPUs to learn more just head to Corsair comm frederick per actually comes with a Sutekh bracket so you could take your a i/o cooler is that you may already have the round star style cooler anyway and then you can actually mount it on to the cooler here and put that on to your cpu if you look right here the copper circle it's obviously a lot smaller than the heat spreader itself now admittedly many people will argue well J doesn't really matter most of the heat is right in the middle anyway the point of this heat spreader though is to do exactly what it says spread the heat so anywhere we're not actually touching is lost efficiency and transfer and cooling which is exactly what we want to avoid so that's why enter max has actually come out with the lick tech 360 which is a TR for specific a i/o cooler but before we do that we got to actually prepare our setup here if you guys recall the last time I tried to do this video is having an issue with my socket is a Foxconn socket on a gigabyte motherboard and many of you guys were telling me no you have to just kind of start the screws then torque them down you're doing it wrong the problem was I couldn't even get the screws started unless I put all of my body weight into it so I've got another motherboard here sent to her by asus thank you guys for helping me out and as you can see this is the way it's supposed to work this is not a Foxconn socket this is a lotus lotus Lutz I don't know how they say it but Louis I don't it doesn't take any effort to start these screws which is exactly the way it is supposed to be three takes a little bit of effort but there goes so yeah it's one of those things where this is the way it should have been so now we've gotten started then we can torque them down I'm often asked J why do you do this on a box why don't you just do it on the table well I do it on the box because I need to allow a little overhang for the tabs on the GPU to hang off otherwise if it's flat on the table the GPU doesn't fit in there very well so that's why I use the in case you were wondering okay so here's the cooler right here the cool thing is it is a three hundred and sixty millimeter radiator giving us a lot of surface area which is kind of important when you got this mini-course is remember well I'm trying to knock everything out of the box thread Ripper has a lot of course I mean it's kind of it's kind of the whole point that's why they call it the red Ripper let's see we've got our three fans right here and I'm telling you I know this is still the biggest and heaviest pump I think I have ever felt in an AI oh look at that thing oh my god that is just massive and if you compare it to the socket you can see it covers the entire CPU now one thing to keep in mind though is at least as this ships this is only gonna work on tr4 it comes pre-installed with the brackets already on there because of the size of this it probably won't fit any other socket cuz there might be some issues with neighboring components at capacitors and standoffs and stuff but yeah if you're buying this for tr4 chances are you're gonna be sticking with it anyway I always like to enter Max's radiator design because although it's just a basic aluminum radiator like you'd find in any AO they always had this really nice looking shroud on the side so if you take a look at this in your case or you can see it and it's actually pretty nice-looking which i think is you know it's a good thing we've got our triple fan splitter and we have got our molex plug and then of course we have our hardware if you've installed any a i/o cooler on any sort of Intel 2011 socket this is pretty much the same style here this screws right into the standoff threads which are already on the socket itself and then you just put the pump down and then you use the spring-loaded retention screws to hold it in place and the spring is going to put the the springs are going to put the tension on it where it needs to be so you basically just tighten it down to the threads stop now disclaimer here because I've already tried to do this video once when we determined that the previous board was a problem I'm not using the standard thermal paste that was included with the AIO so that is worth pointing out I'm actually using the stuff I normally put on my GPU blocks so there could be a difference of a couple of degrees one or two degrees usually pretty minimal one thing I really like about the radiators too is they have these rubber standoffs right here these rubber guards what this does is help absorb vibration so it really is like a work very well thought out a IO and ER max has always been one of my favorites they don't go the normal route if I mean with a iOS which are always about cutting corners and maximizing yields they always seem to just I don't know do it right you can find a history of my like for inter max by just doing a search because I've done a few videos regarding there a iOS over the years so the mounting orientation here is pretty much a push config if you want to know whether or not you should do push or pull of course I've got videos on that you can go and check those out separately rather than us talking about it now but not only does the radiator have the rubber standoffs they have them on the fans as well so it's such a well-thought-out piece of machinery or equipment the counter is a machine it's got moving parts I'm gonna truth now to see if this one works has no this Strix doesn't have any surface mounted power buttons so I've got to do this the old-fashioned way so right now we're using just whatever the factory pwm curve would be on this because this pump doesn't have any sort of smart control it doesn't have like its own software it basically just runs off the pwm headers on your motherboard so the fans have their own header and the pump has their own header so that's why I like to plug them into CW or Pete CPU one and two because then whenever you do to the pump it's also gonna do the fans unless you want them to be independently controlled you can do that as well okay so we're using AMD risin master here which I'm not a fan of I don't like that software a whole lot but it's probably going to be the most accurate in terms of monitoring temperatures so this is the 1920 X so this is a twelve core CPU not the sixteen core cuz that's being used in the in the symbiotes build but here it is right here you can see we've got 22.75 C currently on the core you can see our various cores are all kind of moving around doing their thing like they're supposed to but we do have one cord that will turbo up to about 4.15 gigahertz this is all out-of-the-box settings we have not changed anything and then you can see right here this is the just the windows built-in thingamabob er so our our performance what you might call it yeah I mean I like to use the most technical of terms around here so it's going to take a look at some Cinebench right here let's see how this does and yes I'm aware that Rison master at least in the past could actually affect performance and scores I don't care about the score I care about the temperature which is what we're looking at right here so if we take a look at temperatures see we're steadily rising which is expected well right around 40 see it really starts to slow down as you can see that's really respectable holy crap then our score right there is a 2380 remember these are all stock speeds so there's I'm just gonna run it again I'm gonna run it back to back to back I know this isn't exactly the most efficient way of loading up a CPU in terms of temperatures but this is just one test I'm starting with give you the fans slowly speeding up so I don't think we're gonna get too much hotter than this because this temperature you're seeing right here is what the fans are running really low like the fans are barely turning we're sitting right around 43 C on the last test but you can see under load all cores drop down to 3.7 gigahertz so of course what to do a little overclocking because I mean why not it's what we do around here we overclock we overclock everything even our toilets let's look like we're gonna even hit 45 C right now at stock settings at least using Cinebench repeatedly so we are using the world-famous BMW blender test you guys can download it yourself if you want to test it but anyway where's the start button I forgot if we get over there render am okay so this is the blender CPU test so also all of this rendering is being done in the CPU which means we are going to be pushing it you know as far as we pretty much can't I don't think we're gonna see the temps really go up Joe another truth I really don't think so I mean the memory is sitting at 21 33 the cores are sitting at 3.7 gigahertz across all 12 like if we actually hit 45 or 46 C I'll be surprised now I can hear some of you already complaining that I'm testing this outside of a case and that's fine because you know what there's note there's no case I could grab that's gonna cover all of the scenarios out there in the world right now our environment is sitting at about 71 Fahrenheit and we are sitting in an open test situation like this so that we can see what the cooler itself is capable of when we don't have any introduced variables like poor case air flow so take that for what you will if you stick this in a case this terrible air flow of course your temps are going to suffer go check it out we hit forty five point seven forty five point five that is super impressive it really especially considering we are talking about an all-in-one cooler the air coming through the radiator is still cool too so we're not anywhere near heat soak in fact want to touch the end tanks right here they're still cool to the touch yeah there's no warmth coming through this thing yet so we are nowhere near saturated now this cooler the triple fat version 360 is actually capable of 500 watts of dissipated heat so that that is no joke alright the test just finished and look how fast our temps are gonna come back down check this out an important thing in too is that our fins were probably not even getting near 50 probably right over 50% in terms of duty cycles so I said duty I'm gonna try to go all cores 4.0 it's probably gonna be kind of hard to share a core voltage I'm going 1.4 and then memory we want to bump this up this math is hard for me 29:33 tube over 2 so we want a 1466 I guess now we'll see if we even post I've never tried to overclock and rise and master but seems easy enough okay there it is so it doesn't actually take effect until res and masters running out which I guess is kind of neat alright software level overclocking whatever alright so let's go and run a test and go so the temps immediately shot higher than I did before but that's kind of expected right we're running 1.4 voltage which is not even I'm not even sure if we need that much but I'm just trying to go for brute force fifty four point seven five see on the cores and the fans significantly ramped up as you can hear but hey when you're overclocking the air can we through them is still cold so there is no soak on this radiator oh there I go eaten up more I guess I'm pretty impressed with the fact that we've got 4.0 gigs stable on all 12 cores it feels like thread Ripper overclocking it's easier than then rise in there both rise immuno enemy like the actual like r7 arisin 7s rise in fives because it seems like I've got to do a lot of tweaking to try and get 4.0 stable on those but here it was just clicking a couple things and here we are running 4.0 stable in all 12 cores CPU or memory is running just under 3000 and we are sitting just under 60 C on the chip which has quite a bit of headroom in terms of t.j.maxx so we're doing pretty good I like that the animatics the logo lights up got a nice kind of an elegant look to it I think we might hit 60 C on the last part of this test right here at 59 point 5 fifty nine point six three nope we didn't hit sixty fans ramp down temp drops rather rapidly once we're no longer under load so basically yeah if you guys have got yourself a TR four based CPU so that's obviously thread Ripper X 399 and AMD and you're looking to get the most cooling that you can without going custom loop well you've got to definitely check out inter max I've got a couple of different versions too this is the 360 they also have a 240 now they're not the cheapest a IO is out there this one runs about 149 USD at the time of making this video and the two 40 runs 129 USD which I guess is really not that out of the ballpark when you compare it to some of the other like high-end a iOS out there it's definitely worth checking out yeah so I guess that's it for today I'm glad I was able to finally do this test now I got to figure out a build to use with this system right here but we got another high profile build coming up guys you definitely don't want to miss that we'll be introducing that later this week but I'm gonna go tell me you guys thought about the inter max tr4 360 the lick tech coolers I've always been a fan of these as I said so definitely check them out guys you can find links on where to find those down below anyway time to go thanks for watching and as always I'll see you in the next one
