the Thermaltake view 71 snow edition shows off your build in style with a frosty white paint job and four tempered glass side panels you also get two pre-installed hundred and forty millimeter ring white LED fans a vertical GPU mount with bracket and 3-way radiator support for water cooling so click the sponsor link in the description to learn more what's up guys how's it going welcome back to Pauls hardware today's video is my follow-up video my testing video on my fastest computer that you can build in 2018 that being supported by the newest Intel Core i $9.99 hundred K a quart sixteen thread processor and of course I've also got an RT X 20 atti in there this is the asus rog Strix version of that beyond that we also have at asrock z 390 Taichi ultimate motherboard that's kind of tying everything together it's all put together in this lammle 0:11 dynamic case the Devourer Edition and whites main storage drive is the Samsung 970 Evo nvme SSD we have a cooler master ml 360 our 360 mm meter closed-loop CPU cooler to keep everything cool because the 9900 K has been rumored to run a little warm in my initial testing video for the 9900 didn't share temperature numbers and I'm hopefully gonna be following up on that today because temperatures are important also the behavior of the 9,900 k by default with the motherboard as well as the intel default settings i'm going to give a comparison back and forth between those and hopefully i'm also just gonna play some games for a while because that's kind of what i want to do that would be fun writing out the specs so we also have a G scale Trident C RGB kit and that's the 3200 speed kit running at casa latency 14 and then finally got an extra SanDisk Ultra - one terabyte SSD down there at the bottom just providing some storage for video games and anything else we might need extra storage for right now I'm running hardware info 64 CPU z-tech power ups gpu-z utility and I'm also running an Ida 60 for system stability tests which is currently been going for seventeen and a half minutes or so this is just so I can get a baseline when it comes to the CPUs temperatures and performance as far as system setup goes all I've done is update the motherboards bios to the current version 1.38 and then I have set the XMP setting for the memory in there as well again which is 3200 speed casts latency tene and we can see that here when it comes to the DRAM frequency as well as the casa latency numbers what this is resulting in right now is a core voltage that's vacillating between about one point two six and one point three to eight I'm getting an average of one point two nine max of one point three two which is a little bit high by default and that is resulting in some pretty high temperatures as well we can see our maximum temperatures on the CPU cores are hitting upwards of ninety five degrees 96 and 97 on a few of the cores meanwhile average temperature is 88 degrees Celsius and that is pretty toasty especially considering that we have a three hundred and sixty millimeter radiator in there and the voltage is higher than it should be but nests not necessarily crazy high on the plus side we are maintaining pretty high CPU frequencies four point seven gigahertz across all cores and that has been maintaining steady and stable so as long as you have a pretty nice water-cooled you can run the CPU at this frequency and it's not that difficult but it is warmer than we'd like granted again this is a stress test that's been running for over 20 minutes so I'm going to shut this down and then we can immediately see our CPU temperatures start to cool way off so that is good I am going to jump back into the BIOS I'm going to see if I can go and do the Intel recommended settings versus the asrock maybe a little bit more aggressive settings because this is their highest and Taichi ultimate motherboard with good power delivery that can run at higher frequencies but let's see what Intel had in mind and if we see any difference when it comes to the frequency as well as the temperature so it's been a pretty decent amount of time searching around the ufi settings I was looking for a setting for s vid which is the voltage as dictated by the CPU CPU has its own voltage regulators and can call for how much voltage at once turning that off allows the motherboard to dictate how much voltage is supplied and that appears to be what is causing those main discrepancies between the people who are getting reasonable temperatures with the 99 hundred K and people who are getting much hotter temperatures but also better performance with the 99 hundred K it's just not there as far as I can find it in this version of the asrock UEFI if it is there maybe someone can let me know in the comments section where it might be hiding but for now I did a few different tests with various methods and it just seems like it wants to run at that full fat mode so I'm just going to keep it running in that mode so that means that for the rest of the testing today my clock speeds are gonna be hitting 5 gigahertz so I'm one or two cores and 4.7 gigahertz across all cores CFU temperatures again were pretty warm but not insanely warm again bear in mind that I 264 CPU stress test so typically you're not gonna see temperatures anywhere near that when you're just doing normal stuff like gaming case-in-point here I just ran the time spy stress test just to verify I didn't get the 99% but I got ninety seven point nine percent which is good enough maximum core temperature was like 70 degrees so that's what you could expect while you're playing a video game well within reason and definitely showing that if you do want a ninety nine hundred K and you want to get the most out of it a three hundred sixty millimeter radiator cooler might be a better bet for that just to help keep temperatures down over time and I'm happy to say that the cooler master ml 360 our RGB is doing a great job for us so far so moving on since this is supposed to be the fastest gaming PC ever I am going to continue testing some games to give a bit more of an a/b comparison from my introductory tests with the ninety nine hundred K and with the 20 80 TI I'm running fire strike so I'm gonna run fire strike extreme and I'm gonna run time spy just so I can get some comparisons to the numbers I had a few weeks ago to the numbers I'm getting now and once this is all done though I will hopefully be able to actually play some video games I tweeted on Twitter to get some feedback from you guys what people want to see me test I have some good suggestions so I'm gonna dive into those coming up next so here's a result of fire strike ultra test the graphics score of eight thousand ninety one physics score of twenty four thousand eighteen fifty nine overall 82-68 and if we compare that to my results it actually it dropped a little bit well the graphics core dropped but just by about 20 points so that's the within margin of error but we're getting roughly the same score there when it comes to graphics but we did get a little boost when it comes to the overall score and that's gonna mainly be because of the increased physics here are our 3d mark test results GPU clock speed is running in the high 1700 s and low 1800 s it appears to be peaking at about nineteen thirty five megahertz overall and that gave us a time spy overall score of 13 to thirty six with the graphics score of thirteen seven twenty eight but yeah we compare it to my launch day tests and this is what the founders edition twenty atti as well as an eighty seven hundred k we got a score of thirteen thousand two hundred and eighty six so here actually got a pretty nice boost to jumping up to thirteen thousand seven hundred about a 500 point boost and again that's just going from the manufacturer overclocked Strix version here to the manufacturer overclocked founders edition clock which is not too big of a difference in base clock and boost clock but she's using pretty much the same base clock and only about a 20 megahertz boost on the loose clock so just ran GTA 5 and I used the built-in benchmark to run my typical test again so I could get a comparison against my former numbers with an 8700 K and the 20 atti founders Edition I just want to point out here that the frequency was a little bit higher I was running about 1852 1890 megahertz when it comes to the GPU core clock the histogram has gone there but trust me that's exactly what it was showing and then I just a single run here normally I do multiple runs but this is just to show you guys real quick what the results are average frame time was 10 point 3 milliseconds which gives 97 frames per second on average you can see the little Peaks here these are outliers there's really only one that jumped up over 33 point 3 milliseconds so that's not bad at all 1% time with 66 frames per second so if you wanna play GTA 5 at 4k resolution on a 60 Hertz monitor then the r-tx 20 atti does seem to be a pretty good solution for that if the question is do you need a 9900 K in order to do that though well the answer would be no and here again just case in point that a high resolutions 4k in particular and a little bit less so at 1440 you will get the most out of your graphics card regardless of the CP you are using whether you're using a 9900 K and 8700 K or even like a 2700 x @ 4k those differences lie with the GPU and that with the CPU so with the 8700 K score was about the same 97 7 frames per second and with the minimum of 69 frames per second versus hours of 66 over here just getting into call of duty black ops 4 here and in order to do my settings properly I'm playing it for K 60 Hertz and I've got pretty much everything set to very high though these are mostly default settings that I had when I load it into the game I have of course turned off vsync actually in the game right now I am getting in the mid-90s frames per second wise sometimes dipping into the 80s but overall very solid players oh do you fly in on a helicopter press F to suck my D this is it's kind of fun we're in a squadron of helicopters yeah still does the automatic parachute deploy very gonna die welcomed welcome to battle royale game over at least five other people died before me check out me dying well he that's not fair he has a gun how did he even thought he saw me through there and then he just jumped at it I'm gonna do quads doing quads I have friends to help me alright well I try to catch my teammates a quick update on statistics right now CPU temperature is actually very reasonable we're only in the mid 50s maybe getting into sixty from time to time or at 4.7 gigahertz pretty much across the board on all cores which is cool too GPU temperature is it's 68 degrees right now and we're hitting about eighteen thirty ish megahertz on the frequency where did all my teammates go I'm gonna go in here and see if there's a weapon or something oh look there's dude I'm pressing the wrong button that's why cluster grenade that just equipped that it I dropped now I just dropped Italy I pressed the wrong button reviving brace dog I got you all right whoever is attacking us must have given up or we killed them 21 people left doing way better than in the first round where I died within 10 seconds this guy's really a really good teammate okay head up again hey I did better that time all right guys I'm gonna do another run of black ops for 2560 by 1440 here so I mean I can get back to blackout mode I liked the quads option having some teammates really helped me out last time all my teammates there one I saw green there's green I'm following enough we only have three on our team too which is actually gonna give us an advantage you know we're more agile and made some there's a is that recon card I feel like I should hang out by calm killer is he's a killer that he's also he's ice cold about it teammates are giving information out again I need to I need to back them up oh Sh I'm coming for you save me slowly crawl towards my teammates maybe they'll find me oh hey oh you're reviving me thank you following you come killer oh yes that's update we're you're hitting a much higher framerate now we're actually getting in the 140 160 FPS range so a nice jump dropping down from 4k to 2560 by 1440 it's not helping my gameplay at all I still and mainly operating as a decoy here but maybe I can help calm killa kill someone calmly that's not well that's not what I meant to do at all that sucks I got level 2 armors that's kind of useful look I just walked he just walked in there's like why did he set that up right there because I suck why am i chasing after right now something in the sky what's this red thing on the map is that me yeah oh that's me okay I'm chasing after myself on the map I'm not damaged I'm at a hundred percent health it's from blend blood splattered it before I healed myself apparently yeah it's up 250 I guess discovering so many useful things to do with this game 95 no you have to play the game a lot I guess yeah I shot a guy did I get credit and the killfeed there and everything yeah it's collapsing on us swimming she has a perfect that's it not a breaststroke just the Freestyle Oh where's that trying to revive him okay kill Jeff this is dude killing me okay yeah I won Gary like kill all of us I needed to shoot him before I worried about reviving my teammates right lesson laying there okay sorry for the ghetto production techniques guys with my audio stopped working so and I'm playing overwatch and here in the settings I have full screen and playing 1920 by 1080 because the request from Twitter was to play a 1920 by 1080 higher end shooter and see if we could get a really high frame rate so I've got the frame rate cap set to 300 and I'm using the ultra quality presets so let's go ahead and jump in play some overwatch well the idea of the high refresh rate is that frame is going to refresh earlier than the person who doesn't have a higher refresh rate monitor so you're gonna see what's happening on screen quicker yeah so if it's a game of reaction time and response time and whatever does all those moments what Wow okay Wow that's foolish yeah that's doomed just being Opie right now also realizing that I'm easily hitting little over I'm easily heating the frame limit cat 300 at this setup so oops Critias fist ya doom fist really is he's pissin everybody daddy not stuff just some kind of time just kind of tell when our team was getting worked repeatedly fest it yay we want a battle and then I die because to fart might actually be doing anything ah as a waste honestly to kill one person with that was my ultimate both heels and evidence is that possible that's bullshit what I was just healing and she was just sucking the life out and somehow her you're sucking your life sucking skills did more than my healing skills it doesn't seem we're the same character doesn't seem like that should be a thing her second skills are better than yours haha I know but he killed me with that just as Dumas tried to tried to drop the hammer on me hey that was mostly pointless anyway because the frame rate was so high the whole time alright guys that is pretty much me wrap it up for this video thank you so much for joining me and watching and if you have learned a little bit more about what a computer that features a ninety nine hundred K and a twenty eighty Ti is capable of I know I didn't test a huge range of games today but I just wanted to kind of play some games get the system up and running and see how it performs call of duty black ops for the able to hit well over 90 frames per second at 4k as well as one hundred forty eight hundred sixty frames per second at 2560 by 1440 and then of course you saw over watch if you're trying to hit that three hundred frames per second cap and you're playing on a high refresh rate 1080 monitor then yes it's 2080 I will more than do the trick in fact I think you probably should upgrade your monitor if that's the way you're playing thank you guys so much again for watching this video hit the thumbs up button if you enjoyed it and of course links to the build videos as well as all the parts involved are down in the description too thanks again guys and we'll see you next time
