i9-9900k Low Temperatures - Using the Same Motherboard and Settings as Linus

2018-10-22
so well it's night I was talking to my fellow Aussie youtuber Steve from hardware unboxed and he sort of just brought me into this whole ninety nine hundred K temperature debate and I noticed he was talking about Linus tech tips as temperatures on their ninety nine hundred K review and then I went and watched it and I thought wow that is a bit odd how they got 58 degrees on load and they didn't state the ambient temperatures but they have since updated the comments section with a list of settings they used so today we're gonna be doing two things and since we do have the same motherboard that they used in their review this is the Maximus Hero 11 and yes I could finally read Roman numerals now too by the way we're gonna try and do some tests and show you guys the numbers that we're getting here as well as taking a look at OC 3ds numbers as well Steve said they did seem a bit low as well and also another funny thing about this is we have a deleted chip here and we've also got a custom water loop so if anything the temperatures should be lower than what Linus tech tips was getting with the H 115 I water cooler that they used and also their settings with all that aside let's just dive right into it so we got here the 9900 kids booted up at completely default settings nothing has been changed this time because this is what you would get if you bought this combination out of the box - the deleted chip and a custom water cooler of course use whatever you like but we've got the same test up here stress FPU that's what they've said that they've used in the comments section and we're gonna clear this here and then just do a new run and we are at 24 degrees ambient temperatures here so we're gonna hit start and see what temperature's we get but then also after that we're gonna go into the BIOS and then run some of the settings that they ran and then jump back into Windows 2 but initially we can see here we've already got temperatures that are above that of 58 degrees Celsius we're moving somewhere closer to 70 degrees C and again this is a deleted chip with the custom water loop so it should run and I already know it does run cooler than H 115 I on the stock soldered chip so we're back here we're after ten minutes and we can see the temperatures they reached a maximum of 74 degrees this is on stock settings but what we're going to quickly do now before we reset into the past is go now to Cinebench but also the power consumption is 142 watts so that is pretty much in line with what Linus was getting in his review he said 139 watts so the stock settings seem about right we'll quickly check these Cinebench scores so we're now here in the BIOS and these are the main settings here that Linus quickly changed they're all close to each other X and P profiles were enabled and then we go down here to the multi core enhancement we check disabled SV ID behavior Intel's failsafe lock that in so we're gonna go now and reset this because they said everything else in the comment section is left on default and then we're gonna jump back into Windows and see what temperature's we can get so we booted up into the Ida 64 test now with the settings that they've replicated in the comments section and we're doing the stress FPU hit start and our temperatures are easily worse straight away than they were when Linus attested his settings so we're getting a max here of 78 degrees that's what we hit just before but it seems like oddly enough the temperatures have throttled however so initially they burst it up to 78 but now they've gone down and they are hovering indeed around that 58 degree range so I'm not sure if maybe they average the temperatures out and they just said okay this is what they're looking like they'll be around and perhaps there I am bein temperature degree well maybe 5 degrees lower at 20 degrees that's a possibility but will quickly run a Cinebench score now for you guys and check out what's going on with these settings locked in okay so we've been running Cinebench we previously recorded a quick segment that we then reran the tests and the results are actually all over the place with these settings we're getting temperatures that'll sometimes stay under 60 degrees but then they'll decide that they want to sort of break through this 95 watt threshold and then go to 150 watts power consumption so it's weird with these settings but most the time we're getting Cinebench scores that are now around seventeen hundred and fifty points so I'm not entirely sure what was going on with these settings used in their results but regardless what we're gonna do now is quickly try and overclock this CPU and replicate OC 3ds temperatures of 79 degrees and then of course jump to the big one that's the conclusion so we now overclock the CPU to 5 gigahertz we're running Ida 64 stress tests across all the four different options here and we're getting about max 89 degrees about two minutes in so at 10 degrees above OC 3ds overclock temperatures we also got some really good Cinebench numbers as well with this five units overclock so it is locked in stable with this particular CPU and motherboard but without said let's jump over to a conclusion now so in a nutshell what I did here today with the testing I couldn't replicate the results that Linus tech tips got nor OC 3d got but one thing I can tell you guys is is that I think this calls for more information that needs to be detailed when reviewers do benchmarks because I couldn't find any ambient temperatures and in the case of OC 3ds settings on their website too I couldn't find what tests they use to stress tests and also Linus had to put the information in the comments section but ultimately when it comes to results I can only vouch what I see with my own eyes and that's what happens here at my studio take a city I can't go to Linus's tech tips office it's all the way over in Canada I believe and say hey guys I validated their results I don't know I wasn't there I don't know what happened I believe some mistakes might have happened but again I can't validate anything that happened on their side in terms of what numbers they got I believe they just made some mistakes and they maybe might have overlooked some settings it happens all the time since nowadays a lot of tech reviewers especially youtubers don't get enough time to review the products properly and we've seen this with the RT X launch in particular where we got the product I didn't even get the RT X 27 t until like literally the day after it was released and it rocked up on my doorstep it's like here review it and I'm like well I missed the boat and so this kind of forces us to I guess maybe rush reviews and in the process make some mistakes and I believe maybe that's what happened in the case of Linus tech tips is over in their office so but in the case of OSI 3d and their results with their overclocking in the temperatures I think they need to state more things like again ambient temperatures and also watch stress tests they used because I've got no idea and I can't replicate it for me personally I use i-264 with those four options checked because I've found in my personal experience when I do things like rendering 4k videos the temperatures and the power consumption matches up very accurate to this stress test hence why I use it the way I use it anyway guys these are the results stay tuned for the D live video as well there's kind of a spoiler for the daily video we already filmed that and yeah that was gonna be good but you've sort of got a bit of a spoil now to that video that's coming up soon but dear letting does make a bit of a difference and we'll find out exactly some really cool results to be had and if you enjoyed this video let me sure to hit that like button and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye and also go check out Steve from hardware in box he's video I'll put the link somewhere I'll put all the links for all this stuff in the description mwah you
