well considering the topic that we're about to cover and the fact that I went out today and bought an iPad air makes me feel just a little bit dirty inside like like maybe there's just something wrong with this I don't know what's going on guys Jay's two cents and I'm bringing you about the four thousandth X 99 and 5960 x video - your sub box but my video is going to be different than everybody else's because it's well my video and nobody's done my video yet I'm doing my video right right now so if you already saw my video then there's more wrong than the fact that I bought an iPad so if you've been following absolutely any of my social media then it should come as absolutely no surprise to you that I went out and purchased a 59 60 X Intel i7 on launch day and because of that I've gotten a lot of comments from people as well on the social media platforms saying J what the hell was wrong with your 4790k wasn't it good yes it was good but that's a mainstream and this was my very first opportunity to own an enthusiast platform and I just went ahead and went for broke with the extreme processor because of the fact that it's got those eight cores eight true cores 16 threads with hyper-threading and 20 megabytes of cache I thought you know with everybody saying how beastly the CPU is when it comes to just chewing through content creation I mean JJ said it Anandtech has said it everybody who's reviewed the cpu before me who had the engineering samples have said that this thing is just an absolute multimedia creators wet dream damn and I want to have a dream too I had a couple of different ways I could have done this video I mean I could have talked about specs and that it's like you know most of my viewers do not care about the nitty-gritty specs they kind of want to know how does it overclock and how does it perform so what we did today is we ran a whole bunch of tests you can see them on the monitor behind me and I did these tests both at stock speeds as well as my max overclock now I'm going to go ahead and kind of give you a little bit of a spoiler alert here my max overclock was not necessarily jaw-dropping but at the same time this scaling of overclocking on this processor is absolutely phenomenal and then that just once again goes to the fact it's got eight cores 16 threads and yeah the Zeon's been offering stuff like that for a long time but this is unlocked and overclockable alright so before we start talking about my overclock specs let's go ahead and talk about how this thing performed at stock speeds and I ran three tests on this I had a bunch of different tests that could have done I started doing like passmark and things like that and I thought you know instead of doing synthetic benchmarks I wanted to do a real-world test so I could actually gauge J was the price tag of this processor worth it and what was the price tag well for me it was 899 dollars because I live near micro Center and Micro Center is all they're suckers because they sell it for less than cost but then again while I'm there I tend to buy other things so really who's the sucker in all of this so for the benchmarks I use Cinebench 11.5 Cinebench 15 and then I used Sony Vegas 11 and rendered a 1080p on best preset for internet encoder which was actually 24 million by 10 million variable bitrate so that was what I use for this test and in order to put as much oomph into the render as I could rather than just being a simple MOV to h.264 type of conversion I went ahead and put in there some sharpening to the track I did some color correction I did some contrast correction we've got sounds we got overlays transitions things like that so I wanted to see you know in a short amount of time how much stuff I could actually throw in there so I did a 100 second or 1 minute and 40 second render both at stock speeds and over clock speeds all right so enough talking about my methodology here Senate bench 11.5 gave me a score of 15 point zero one no that's at stocks beat that's three point five boost clock three point five so that's already a ton more than my 4790k was getting my 4790k was getting just under ten with two thousand megahertz RAM on my 4790k overclocked to four point seven so already we were five points higher on that four Cinebench fifteen I got a thirteen eighty eight and then for my 1080p 100 second test it took 131 seconds to complete that render test so 131 seconds was already a heck of a lot faster than 4790k could do it it would have probably taken near three minutes to do that one minute forty second test based on all of the types of transitions and stuff I put on there and the computer just went to sleep behind me now the other aspect of this was how were the temperatures I mean eight core 16 threads and what the whole way has well sort of launched the 4770k in the 4790k a lot of people were probably expecting at least I was expecting there to be some serious temperatures to try and rope in and wrangle I mean I thought temperatures were just going to be absolutely untamable considering the way things had been going in temperatures for the last couple years so at the stop 3.5 gigahertz I think it went up to one point one four one point one four seven volts we were actually sitting in the mid 40s and some cords were actually sitting in the 30s during the render test now to kind of put things into perspective the room is sitting right now at 76 degrees Fahrenheit and I went ahead and did an a 264 engineering test for 10 minutes just to see if those temperatures would creep higher and no they stayed right in the 40s with a couple of cores hitting like 50 or 51 so very very tamable but then again when it comes to cooling as you can see kind of got a monster rigged for cooling here we're talking a 480 millimeter by 45 millimeter thick radiator dedicated to just the CPU so yeah my cooling it's a it's a it's a little extreme you see what I did there well my max overclocked guys was nothing short of average really it was a 4.5 gigahertz now I've tried all the different overclocking methods on this in fact that's why my video is later than everybody else's now Paul's hardware was able to get a four point seven five gigahertz overclock that is massive that's a 1.75 gigahertz overclock over the base clock of the CPU that isn't that is absolutely insane we haven't seen those types of overclock numbers since Core 2 Duo days I mean that was a long time ago pre Sandy Bridge it just wasn't anything that we saw in a long time now mine at 4.5 seems a little bit lackluster but that's still a 1.5 gigahertz overclock on top of the base clock that is nothing nothing short of amazing when it comes to over clocks I think Paul's CPU was able to do it at 1.30 6 volts for that four point seven five gigahertz overclock mine took one point three to five volts in order to get me the 4.5 gigahertz overclock so it took more voltage to get less speed but hey at this point I think as you start getting between four point five and four point seven five it's going to be a little bit of a difference but not a whole lot at least that's what I'm telling myself to keep from being matted and jealous of Paul that's my story and I'm sticking to it and one thing I also meant forgot to mention for the specs of these benchmarks is the fact that I am also running a g.skill 20 400 megahertz ddr4 16 gigabyte kit so four times four dims that's the memory configuration on this I probably should have mentioned that earlier in the video all right all right enough so send a bench 11.5 at the 4.5 gigahertz nineteen point one eight so we jumped from 1500 one to nineteen point one eight send a bench 15 we jump from 1388 all the way up to 17 58 and the 1080p 100 second render test took 1 minute and 43 seconds to render it took three seconds longer than real time are you starting to see why I wanted this CPU now every minute I can save rendering videos for this YouTube channel means I've got more time to be doing something else on the system or not having to wait for the render to be done to start being productive in some other manner just to kind of put that into a mathematical perspective if 103 seconds was 100% time that it took to render that video at stock it only took 78% of that same amount of time to render at overclocked so we're actually talking about a 22 percent improvement that is huge and of course we've got the temperatures to talk about temperatures we're sitting right in the mid to upper 60s and couldn't be any happier with those temperatures I would like lower voltage to do it but hey one point three to five volts is still well in the safe range guys has been Jays two cents these are my overclocking results here with my 59 60 X if you're a content creator or you're a heavy renderer you do 3d CAD or anything like that you have to consider the CPU yeah it's expensive but the enthusiast platform lasts a lot longer than the mainstream platform tends to do and there's going to be there's going to be some time it takes for the CPU to be trumped and even if they come out with a brand new processor next year that's marginally faster this CPU is going to last you a long time guys when J's $0.02 hope you enjoyed this video follow on that social media if you want to give me for upgrading even though I just built skunkworks two months ago but hey it's the price you pay in order to stay on top of bleeding edge technology and yeah trust me it bleeds both in speed and wallet pain alright guys catch you in the next one
