My Power Supply Overheated in the Middle of Benchmarking...

2016-10-24
that's not healthy power supply shouldn't be doing that have a gander again it sound I almost plug this into my iPhone 7 what a joke right go get my converter and sounds good hey what's up everyone just me and my garage down my Lamborghinis my Ferrari I'm trying to beat I Lopez I wanted to show you just a sneak peek of what to expect with Walter White 2.0 I don't have a lot of time I've had I've been slammed with early tests this week and you know school comes first now I want to go over the specs very quickly if you want more detail about the computer you can check out the card right there but we are running a 69 hundred k i7 from Intel let's say effectively thousand dollar processor looking at eight cores 16 threads overclocked currently to 4.3 gigahertz at one point three six volts I didn't really tinker with the voltage very much I probably could have downed it a little more but I stable right now and the core temps aren't reaching 70 degrees Celsius so I'd call that a success for now on top of that we have two gtx 1070 from EVGA and sli painted custom white of course so right now I am obviously running the redox mod it's white looks a little different I think it looks better in my opinion and yes I am playing online so if I get banned you know whatever so be it just start from scratch again I really only play gt5 for the sake of benchmarking at this point I used to play it a lot but I found that I'm more interested in first-person shooters now maybe getting some battlefield one later so I'll frame rates that's what I wanted to talk about first what you're looking at right now is literally a maxed out of some weird or affecting look at that look at the grass that's strange that's likely a result of the modification that's not a vanilla issue so it's raining it kind of sucks you can't really see the cool lighting effects but in settings we have here graphics at pretty much max I mean they are maxed msaa times 8 vsync I have basing on because I want to look fluid for you guys but frame weights will go well over 60 here I'm going to overclock 275 probably the next video when I do my benchmarking I will benchmark an ultra wide 1080p as well as 1440 PM staying away from 4k for now I want a good 4k monitor before I do that I don't upscaler or anything of that sort so very high all the way through ultra times 8 anti-aliasing for reflections and just in general water quality all the good stuff you can see literally it's maxed out I have depth of field effects turned off because that just looks like garbage in my opinion and motion blur off because that looks like garbage in my opinion and everything else is good to go and an occlusion that that's max ok so you can see that's maxed out we're pushing 9 gigabytes of video memory and then advanced tabs long shadows on high resolution shadows on high detail streaming offline on extended distance scaling on extended shadow distance on frame scaling mode now this will kind of sort of simulate a higher resolution display obviously you can't change the pixel density or the pixel dimensions of your monitor but it will in some cases make things look a bit more crisp I have an anti-aliasing on 2 times 8 so I'm not going to bother touching that because it already looks beautiful now this is probably as clean a GTA 5 video as you will find on YouTube and in 1080p and that is thanks to Walter white version 2.0 pushing us well against that 60 FPS boundary so the this is kind of a sneak peak of what you should expect a Walter white version 2.0 obviously a very expensive computer and as a result your your I mean you're going to get some of the best performance out there at least in these resolutions here I think the only thing that you could probably do better in a build like this is to swap out the 210 70s with 210 80s and in that case you could probably get these same frame rates in 4k versus 1080p ultra wide look at that detail look at the road my oh my now something that's interesting my frame rate has dropped a 45 50 now 55 I think the reflections are really killing the frame rates they're not now a lot of this has to do with the fact that story mode implements more of the mod than that online mode does so we're seeing a greater degree of texture detail different special effects things of that sort that are in story mode that aren't in online mode which is why our frame rate I presume is lower here but still I'd say for maxing everything on including advanced settings around 50 frames per seconds pretty darn good in ultra wide 1080p cards getting really hot Oh what that's about I'm going to keep villainies I don't know what's happening here I'll do you a favor this is how loud I sound but the microphone you know half a foot for my face that's loud that's a lot of than in-game volume by a by a long shot I just realized something that sound you're hearing is not coming from the graphics cards I think that's coming from the power supply so what's likely happening is that sixty nine hundred K is just pulling so much power from the PSU that those rails are heating up and won't rail I think it's a single 12 little rail and it's just getting too hot so the fan curve is kicking in and it just sounds like it's just going full blast Wow Walter White is upset that it doesn't sound good and I think that means I'm gonna have to replace my power supply which sucks but that's not healthy power supply shouldn't be doing that have a gander again at the sound it's definitely not the gpus because the GPUs I turned that those fans I turned off at one point and I can still hear it it's not that fan I calibrated it's not that fan I calibrated it you can actually see the blades turning though those are probably turning at 800 or 900 rpm it's not the the radiator fans because those I there's have a distinct sounds I know it's not coming from from there the only other fan in the system is the power supply fan and I assume that because we have our sixty nine hundred K overclock and it's being used fairly significantly in GTA 5 which is known to do that it's a great utilizar of both CPU and GPU horsepower I am assuming that the 69 hundred K is just pulling a lot of juice I'm expecting anywhere from 250 to 300 watts maybe more overclockable Broadwell each chips are notorious for just straight stealing juice from the power supply when under load I expect that's what's going on here and just the the rail inside the power supply is getting way too hot well that is unfortunate I'm glad I found that out sooner rather than later though we all kind of found that out at the same time right we heard that all at the same time so I think what that means is I'm not to replace my power supply I think that's the safest bet this isn't 80 plus gold rated power supply from deep cool but the gold rating really has nothing to do with the actual reliability of the power supply it's just a an efficiency rating so under X amount of load your PSU is going to be X efficient X percentage efficient that's that's what the 80-plus ratings mean but it has nothing to do with reliability and PSU longevity so I guess I'm going to contact deep cool let them know what's going on with this particular unit here ask if that's a normal thing or not and begin the hunt for another power supply more money in the drain this is science studio thanks for learning with us give me a thumbs up if you'd feel bad for me feels bad man feel pretty bad right now
