How far can an Intel Stock HSF Go? Test at 4GHZ (i5-4670K)

2013-07-25
hey YouTube welcome back to tech isuzu Randy's coming back to you guys today with a quick video addressing the question of how far can an Intel stock heatsink fan clock up to now as you guys know my water coolers died and so I'm in the process of deciding what and my next cooler should be but I meant in the meantime I've got this back on and yeah it's a little a little tiny beast I mean yeah it is crap but anyway I'm probably the only guy in the world who is running a deleted chip with a stock intel heat sink fan when probably one of the many few so I've just booted this up now and we are at OB hopefully you guys can see that 25 degrees ambience and let's get on to the overclock so we'll just get onto the overclocks here so I want to start showing you guys what clocks we can get so I'll just move the camera in a little bit closer so you guys can see and we'll see how far we can take this bad boy so we'll load up real temp and prime95 so this is at 4 gigs so I've decided to put this up to 4 gigahertz and we'll see how idles at 25 degrees so you can see there it's at 50 degrees I have deleted the chip but also something else to remember is that I am using the stock Intel heatsink paste so this is just an idea of what your off lis can expect I mean my dealer chip should be cool a little bit cooler than other chips but not by much I mean I am using the stock Intel heatsink paste so that's something to remember so I'll just pull that up for you guys here so you can see the temp so I'm going to start a prime95 bench now I'm not going to push it to 4.2 so this is at 4 gigs so there's our four gigs at the moment and I wouldn't push it past this honestly if you guys are trying to push your stock heatsink fan to 4.2 I'd probably only recommend it in the winter and even then maybe put some good heatsink a paste on the heat spreader so this is at 4.2 and you can see that it's already reaching set degrees I mean 75 so I think this would probably go up to 80 yeah so it's really not this is a four gig so if I took this to 4.2 it would probably be even worse so I'm not going to recommend it but yet how if I can intel heat sink fan go I'd yeah and ultimately I'd say 4.2 max I mean even then I'd only recommend it in the winter in the summer I'd only go for gigs but even then if you guys are buying the enthusiast chips I mean you can get a cooler master 212 Evo or an anti max t44 like $25 $30 these are the chips that you guys should be getting I mean sorry the coolers that you guys should be getting if you decide to go with these chips they're pretty good value for money and they offer you know they're only twenty thirty dollars as I said before and they offer a great I'm going to get one probably soon I think I'm thinking I'm getting the Animax T 40 so I'll do a review on it and I'll show you guys the temps and I'll also compare that to my previous water cooler as well so here we see 80 degrees is already reaching 80 degrees which is pretty damn high I would you know for me 80 degrees is like my maximum if something goes above 80 degrees in prime I'm not comfortable running that clock at 24/7 speeds so that's just my sort of upper limit as you know I like to have sort of resale ability resale ability in my chips when I sell them you know a year or two years down the track so I don't like them to degrade yes hope you enjoyed this video so yeah that's just the Intel heat sink fan it's it's a piece of crap it idles 25 degrees roughly 25 degrees above ambience and it's load is ruffle roughly whoa 55 degrees above ambient sat for gigs so this is at four gigs too and this is a dealership so keep in mind that if you haven't deleted your chip your temps will probably maybe run up to about 85 now 86 87 so yeah four gigs in summer even though even in summer I mean you can get thirty degrees it will run up even hotter so my advice ultimately in conclusion is to say some are probably three point eight if it's a thirty degree day 25 degrees in vents for okay in winter when it gets to 15 degrees 4.2 is probably going to be okay so my guys hope you enjoyed this video if you did please give it a thumbs up if you have any questions about the intel junk heat sink fan please leave it in the comments section below I thought I'd just test this for you guys for a bit of fun while I'm in the process of getting a new cooler and our main the other one which I'll probably just sell on eBay or something because yeah I'm going to say that you know I'm going to come out with a video saying that water cool is you know I don't recommend there I'm not going to I'm going to start recommending these kit coolers so if you want to go through water cooling you either go all out and get custom water pumps and all that or get say you know get to just get an air cooler because you know 14 months is horrible but you know my chip is you guys saw that previous video my chip could have easily blew up so not blew up but I mean it could've easily failed that's you know that's just the safety margin I hit so guys I'm going to go and I'm going to get a new heat sink fan soon and when I do I will come back to you guys with a awesome review of what cooler I get and I'll show you guys the temps so guys I hope you enjoyed this video and if you haven't resub what are you doing let's get on to the awesome source let's get some awesome source on our computers and not fry them at the same time so yeah my computer has been through a beating I would take it up to 4.2 if my computer if my chip hasn't cut out in the past but it has cut out already so I'm going to give it a bit of a break since I've deleted it a lot as well with all the paste tests and stuff you guys rambled on enough this is bro I'm just rambling on but I want to in the meantime show you that this is sort of where it's capping at 82 degrees so they have it four gig four gig overclock is what I recommend as a max overclock for the heat sink fan and four point two in the winter if the ambience are pretty cold like 15 degrees so you guys peace out for now brandies bye
