so today we're going to be overclocking the 9900 kay we're gonna be deleting it testing our before and after temperatures as well as giving it a much better cooling than what we did in the review if you look at the H 100 I Pro all-in-one it's a pretty decent cooler as it is but since the 9900 K demands very good cooling we're gonna give it to it because essentially this is what you face with if you don't now I did try a 5 gigahertz overclock in this particular instance and it's just met with a blue screen of dip so I'm gonna be changing it over first of all for the custom ek water cooling solution then after that we're gonna be deleting and checking out the before and after temperatures for you guys are you in the market for a Z 390 motherboard that just packs nothing but value will if you are the asrock phantom gaming series has it all 12 phase power design amazing onboard audio and also a unique implementation of a NIC which is 2.5 gigabits per second prioritizing your packets for your gaming needs links in the description below if you want to check out more so right here we've got the ek I think it's its ek gaming fluid gaming a 240 G so hopefully all things considered if I have a 5 gigahertz overclock versus a 5 gigahertz overlock I'm hoping I just magically gain some FPS because it says gaming on the box but what we got here now is liquid protocol laboratories this is the only stuff I recommend for doing D lids with on Intel CPU die to IHS contacts that's me personally other people have their own recommendations and stuff like that but right now we're going to put this whole thing together and then we are going to take do some testing with temperatures and then take it all apart d lid the chip itself and then test the before and after temperatures for you guys you really are you really risking it all putting it all the line it's multiple thousand dollar PC because you're that confident with you Lou aren't you see the amount of you fools I exerted on this thing and get elite embrace you bought this as a Corsair keyboard a balance and the power supply have a look again again I'll get you it on camera so you put the pots on voice doesn't leak wait I need paper towels under this thing to take yes loop doesn't leak so now we've got the water cooler up here we've got the voltage set in the blasts manually at one point three five volt leveled two LLC as well which is quite a normal setting ax 1500 watt power supply pretty much the best power supply money can buy and we've got a now custom water loop with its own external reservoir and pump on a custom EK water block and we're going to see now five gigahertz at 11.35 volt let's hit that start button let's have a look here let's have these temperatures okay that's a pretty good sign hasn't a hasn't crashed yet but now we are hitting about 90 degrees 91 and we've only just started the tests so we're gonna leave this for 10 minutes and then way to come back to it and we're gonna see how it's doing now these cpu V cool here I'm pretty sure in i-264 there miss reading I'm gonna try download some other software and see if we get some more accurate readings because they just don't seem right I'm sure level 2 LLC is not over vaulting 1.35 vol 2 1.42 but anyway let's come back off to 10 minutes of 5 gigahertz and recheck our temperatures so so at this stage we've got the better cooling arm we've tried playing around the boss with various settings to get this 5 gigahertz I guess stable isn't the word because it is passing the stress test absolutely fine I've tried putting a fan on the vrm there and the real issue here is we're just getting like Cinebench schools that are below that of stock settings and this isn't right if your computer's not running right it's gonna show in the benchmarks ultimately so what I'm gonna do now to get this 5 gigahertz overclockers I'm gonna try and switch over to the Zeus Maximus see if that gives us some different numbers because when I do this deal it a test I want this to be a like rock solid 5 gigahertz and then we can test lidded vs. deal it attempts okay so we're done over 20 minutes testing here on the five gigahertz which isn't I know it's not a hundred percent stable because there's some kind of form of throttling going on as we saw in Cinebench scores when we tried this earlier on the asrock board and what we're gonna do now is we're gonna try and deal with this CPU and then actually put a liquid metal on it attempt to put liquid metal on it and then see if of course how much it affects the temps but also if it helps sort of lift a ceiling that I believe is currently on this CPU because this cooler here is like not even lukewarm I'll pull up the thermal-imaging camera for you guys quickly so you can see what's going on so cool is definitely not the problem this time around as before I thought it might have been the H 100 right probe but I still think these CPUs are just getting too hot internally before they can dissipate the heat even to the IHS which can they go to the cooler but let's deal it and find out so we're now completed 20 minutes of ITCC for stress test and the max temperature we're getting here at 5 gigahertz is 91 degrees so 6 degrees already lower than the non deleted chip and the good news is is that the temperatures are more evenly spread across the cores here and the best news is is that our Cinebench scores are now running as they should be so this is really good news because the d lid has not only helped with the temperatures but it's also helped us achieve a 5 gigahertz overclock that is super stable at least from what we can tell so far so I think it's time to move on to a conclusion but I'm gonna do it in the morning because I'm it's like yeah literally like what 1:30 in the morning so I need some sleep so it's now morning time we have booted up at five point one gigahertz now there is a little problem here and that is that the temperatures are fine like they're still under a hundred degrees C on all caused but we can see here that we've got actual CPU throttling occurring within either 64 so we're now facing a predicament of temperatures being okay and still under t.j.maxx actually well with under the limit and the Cinebench scores are actually confirming this as well and this further sort of validates what I was talking about with the lower clocks and those Cinebench schools that just didn't make sense before so now we can finally move over to a super solid conclusion and there's the 9900 K at 5 gigahertz stable finally and we saw some really good center bench scores I did learn a little bit more about the whole CPU itself during this process and we did manage to boot up at 5 point 2 gigahertz however it was anything but stable Cinebench was crashing we could start a stress test but that was throttling almost immediately but then we tried to work this CPU at 5.1 gigahertz and it is running stable I guess in height of 64 except for one weird thing as we saw before the CPU was throttling and the temperatures were still well within t.j.maxx so as we looked at before when we're having problems before the D LED where we've got a stable 4.9 but we couldn't get a stable 5 gigahertz we're having the problem now we're gonna stable 5 gigahertz but we can't get a stable 5.1 and so we saw a temperature drop as well of 6 degrees and so this is what a deal it'd will do for you on the 9900 K it will allow you just to get that little bit extra out of your CPU however on the flip side I honestly would not recommend this this time around to anyone taking a razor blade to your CPU is seriously not good at any given moment one slip and a one mistake and that CPUs bricked and it's a very expensive mistake to make if you do it but if you do decide to do this then seriously take your time and be very meticulous about it because as we said before this is silicon we're now working with the dye and I watched a Barry's video he actually sands the by down which is next level meticulousness I mean that guy is nuts when it comes to doing meticulous stuff with things like CPUs if you haven't already you can check out his video I'll put the link in the description below but in this regard it's for me personally I wouldn't go anything further than what I've done here today deal ended it with device then I skimmed off the solder using a razor and then skimmed it off again then used an alcohol wipe to wipe both sides of the equation down and then put some Coolibar towards liquid metal probe between the dye and the IHS and yes we saw a solid temperature drop and we also got an extra 100 mega Hertz the last thing to talk about is eks water cooling loop and this did a phenomenal job of handling the ninety nine hundred K and as I said in the review if you're going with a ninety nine hundred K and you want to get some solid overclocks then definitely go for something custom or really high-end the h108 pro it's a decent cooler but I feel like for the ninety nine hundred K it's just not up to the task when it comes to overclocking out of the box it'll handle it fine but as we saw this custom loop it did a much better job and it was able to lock in those overclocks absolutely fine however I probably could get to five point one stable possibly even five point two if I grab this whole set up and whack it underneath my aircon I mean if that's something you guys want to see in a separate video maybe even get the RT X xx atti under there too because there are some really cool settings within the BIOS that we can sort of tinker with to try and extract even just a little bit more fps maybe we'll take a look at that in that video as well if you want to see it let me know in the description below and also let me know what you thought about today's video if you liked it then be sure to hit that like button and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon hope you enjoyed today's journey sort of vlog tour of the D live process and the before and after and I'll catch you in the next one peace out for now bye
