the master key series of mechanical keyboards from Coolermaster features genuine Cherry MX switches and the flexibility of choice whether you want small medium or large you can pick your size and pick your color with RGB and clear white LED backlighting options click the sponsor link in the description for more information excellent what's up guys welcome back to Pauls hardware in today's video i'm going to be doing benchmarking testing and some evaluation of my march builds I know it's early April already but I actually built the system in March so I'm actually getting caught back up with my monthly builds if you're not familiar I plan out a couple builds at the beginning of every month and then I build one of those systems and then I follow up and test it and benchmark it and give you guys my feedback on the experience and this has been a pretty fun build it's my first ever actual full ridin system based on the AMD risin 7 1,700 CPU I also have a gtx 1070 in there from Galax I also have some Coolermaster components in the v6 50 power supply as well as the mastercase pro 6 which is a brand new case from coolermaster as well as their new master air pro for the cooler that's in there which is also doing a pretty good job and looking pretty nice while we're at it I've actually already overclocked this CPU so I basically went to dial in the same overclock that I got when I did my rise in overclocking video and if you guys are interested in that because I kind of walk through the overclocking process a link to that is also up in the corner do some instability issues I actually dialed overclock back just a tad 3.8 Giga Hertz was what I had across all of the cores still plenty fast and then with that silent I went on to the GPU and basically dialed the same GPU overclock I had when I tested best graphics card back in December plus 126 megahertz on the GPU plus 202 on the memory and then maxing the power and temperature targets the fans I set to 60% which gave a nice balance between a little bit more noise with plenty more cooling performance that gave me a base clock of 1721 a boost of 1911 it didn't get up past 20 100 megahertz max but of course that leveled up after temperatures started to rise I was getting about 20 20 megahertz average on the GPU core clock and the temperatures were again very nice 50 degrees was what it was at at idle and that's with the fans spinning up at also zero noise generation and then 84c was when it hit max load while benchmarking but that was kind of more rare when I was actually run into gaming benchmarks and doing a much more reasonable load on it like you do at home while you're just playing a video game it was just getting up into the mid 70s which is perfectly fine for an overclocked gtx 1070 next let's move into some sound testing and i will say that this system is very very quiet especially with fans set to silent mode of course and even with the fans at silent mode the cooling was pretty adequate i will mention that i did need to use a fan splitter to connect those two front fans up to the motherboard not because of a lack of motherboard headers but simply because the cables on the included 120 millimeter fans at the front of the case weren't quite long enough to reach all the headers on the motherboard so just simpler to connect those both up to a single header towards the front of the board some fanta connections might be helpful for this case in the future Coolermaster if you're watching and then beyond that i wanted to do some temperature testing with these panels because they pop up up and down and they give you a little bit more airflow when they're up but they will let a little bit more noise come out i didn't know there's a huge difference in temperature with the panel's open it might have been a degree or two cooler however the temperature is kind of fluctuating here in my garage i don't want to say that's a scientific test what I will do though is give you guys a sound test with those panels open versus closed so there you go guys not a huge difference in noise generation what the panel's open versus closed but nice to have that option I suppose what I would probably do running the system full-time is leave them closed most of the time and then if I was doing something that was really heavy lifting like say I was queueing up a video to render out or something would pop those open a little bit more air get get in without having to worry about the noise generation let's move into some gaming benchmarks though with the gtx 1070 this is obviously a gaming system ran all these tests at 2560 by 1440 which I find to be a nice mid-range resolution for a gtx 1070 and here you go benchmarks so obviously this system can handle the games no problem I'm not doing a direct side-by-side comparison to an Intel system but I will be doing a little bit more of that coming up and very soon because although this system has a right in seven CPU Hey look rise in size that should be available very soon so hey my monthly billed for April which is going to be happening happening also very soon probably you can expect to have some rise and 5 influence going on there but since this is not just a gaming PC it's also made for other things let's do some video encoding tests so now that you guys have had a taste of the performance with this system let's wrap up with some closing thoughts first off the motherboard the asrock X 370 Taichi I think did a fantastic job here I like the look of it it's a little bit more distinct with the black and white aesthetic but all got the job done and even though it's sort of more towards the higher end when it comes to as rocks products tech it's still very very reasonably priced especially when you compare it to like say that use crosshair 6 now the SSD if you guys didn't already notice I actually swapped out I dropped it so Shiba and they're just just full disclosure that was just because I actually needed my sand disc because it's an external drive that I usually use with a bunch of games I don't want copy everything but there that is it shouldn't affect the benchmarks or performance in the slightest let's talk about RGB LEDs while we're at this the case is a little bit limited in that respect I was actually pretty surprised when I first booted this system up so that this has a blue LED fan for the exhaust here from Coolermaster it's just it definitely makes this a blue accented case along with the blue accent mine across the front there which I suppose matches as long as you want blue to be part of your aesthetic coup and master is also producing this case with red LEDs so red accent to the front and red LED fan all although I can't would have preferred if it was just a standard black fan here for the exhaust and let you do whatever the heck you want inside also that's LED at the front again it looks nice but without it being RGB it's hard to have it match with the rest of the system if you are going for RGB all that said if your kid with blue and you want everything in the match like I have found I ended up with kind of a red white and blue color scheme here it's red on the bottom because of the motherboard LED and the LEDs on the bottom of the galaxy 1070 blue up top as well as on the front and then of course the white accents on the mother motherboard which doesn't look too bad but it doesn't give you the flexibility that you'd have with like the full size our GB system like I have going on back there all that said RGB is an aesthetic thing and the final thing that I really wish you could do that you can't at least as far as I could tell on the motherboard or on the graphics card is turn them all off you got to have some lights going on in there so all that said aesthetically this wasn't my favorite when it comes to the lighting but I thought the case overall looks pretty nice it is fairly large but was able to fit everything in there really easily and there's tons of extra space actually was actually look at this system like this is like they like version one of this system where you get everything in there and up and running there's so much extra stuff and extra space in here to add more stuff like evil you could drop another graphics card in there easily additional expansion slots could be used for adding more storage or a raid card or capture card or anything like that you got of course tons more space for SSDs I removed an entire Drive cage you have tons of room for more Drive gauges five and a quarter inch Bay's at the front you can of course add more memory here it's only got 16 gigs we get two additional slots so tons and tons of upgrade potential with this system which I always like to have all I found this to be an incredibly powerful system and I'm really happy that with the AMD Rison platform you can get a build like this with eight cores 16 threads tons of room for expansion it's an AMD system but it's still modern and it's got all of the bells and whistles that you would expect with a modern build and it's coming in it way way way less than it would cost to get an Intel 8 core platform with similar performance gaming of course is a question we can continue to discuss when it comes to Rison versus Intel's CPUs but more on that of course in upcoming videos in particular I'm going to be attacking that one more time because I've got rise in five concepts that's in the very near future so stay tuned for that although guys I think you guys would be happy with this build also of course check out the two parts list I have in the description because if you kitted out like I have here it's going to cost around $1400 but if you're willing to swap out a few parts here and there you can get basically equivalent performance for around 1200 dollars and for 1200 I think a system like this is absolutely beastly especially if you're doing anything like content creation or if you're doing gaming and streaming at the same time or if you're doing higher-end stuff anything that's really really intensive on the CPU and needs multiple threads now you guys so much for watching this video though I hope you have enjoyed it hit the thumbs up button if you did leave your comments in the comment section below give me some suggestions for April builds because I'm going to be working on those very soon and as always thanks for watching
