WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: entoday we're gonna follow up on the IKEA desk drawer gaming PC machine system this PC has been serving me really well for the last two months except for one small problem the r-tx 2060 in there really struggles with high refresh rate 1440p gaming so I reached out to EVGA to try and answer the question how much gaming power can you fit in an Ikea drawer you as you can tell for today's upgrade we have a very exciting graphics card it's an EVGA r-tx 2080 Super XC it's a bit of a mouthful but it really is a beautiful graphics card it's got all these little details on the shroud and stuff mmm very nice thank you very much EVGA for loaning me this card I think it should work pretty well in this drawer but we'll we'll get to that in a bit first off before we just willy-nilly drop a bunch more power into this drawer we need to see thermally how while it copes with the current system and as you can see the graphics card is fine but the CPU ISM is a little bit worrying it's a rise in seven twenty seven hundred and I'm actually also planning to upgrade that I want to drop the most powerful CPU I have which is a 3700 X in there but yeah those temperatures are pretty scary the thing is though when I tested it two months ago I don't remember the temperatures being that crazy so I think it may be due to like mounting pressure or like thermal paste or something so do you know what I'm gonna drop the 3700 X in anyway and just kind of see what happens not only am I gonna drop more power into the drawer but there are also a couple of small problems with the first version that I want to address the first one is dust it's a drawer so I can't see into it I don't really know what the dust situation is going to look like after two months but yeah I may have to put like dust filtration in there but we'll see about that and then the other thing is I didn't have a dremel or like a cutting tool so I don't have proper access to the rear i/o of the motherboard so I want to fix that as well so with that let's have a look at the dust in this PC and here we have our first look at the PC since I actually installed it a couple months ago and it looks way better than I was expecting I mean there's a little bit of dust on the actual fan blades here but honestly I was expecting Tatooine and yeah it's not that bad I guess what that shows is that I don't have to worry too much about adding dust filtration in the front in version 2.0 now it's time to have a look at my new toy I got a dremel so now I've done all of the modifications that I wanted to do to this setup it's worth flawlessly and considering the fact that there's been pretty much no dust in it I'm happy just kind of using it the way that it is now especially now that I've got the rear i/o more more accessible that's that's going to help me a lot but yeah all I need to do is drop in this beast and just like that we have the awesome PC ready to put back in the drawer I've Reap I've redone the thermal paste on that cooler so hopefully yeah hopefully the temperatures are gonna be a bit better on that 3700 X it's the moment of truth will the drawer closed I mean I actually know that it'll close because that RT X 2060 card was actually slightly higher profile than this so yeah it does close yay we have an upgraded IKEA drawer PC system computer machine I can't wait to see how much extra gaming performance we got but first I want to just make sure that we're not gonna have spontaneous combustion in there so after a fairly extended gaming session we can see that it's not that bad we're sitting at about 70 degrees on both the graphics card and the CPU which for a high-performance system in a small form-factor case I actually think is really not that bad I also decided to run Ida 64 and fir mark on the system just you know so that we get an extreme use case example it's not very realistic because it is a gaming system and as you can see the the CPU temperatures are are pretty toasty but again I'm not really gonna use it for like 24/7 blender renders or anything like that so I don't think it's that big a deal and that brings me very neatly to the gaming performance how much of a jump did we get going from the old system to the new one as you can see the gaming performance is pretty good we're much closer to an average of 144 frames per second in like newer games taking a closer look at battlefield 5 we're getting about a hundred and seven frames per second that's not bad but it's still not it's still about a hundred and forty four it is at Ultra settings though so bear that in mind and I wouldn't play this game at Ultra settings I think high is better but still if we don't even have ray-tracing running but yeah so what I'm gonna do is I'm actually gonna overclock it and see what difference that makes because according to a bunch of reviews on the Internet the 20/80 super really shines in memory overclocking and overclocking the memory on this card is really satisfying because you take this slider and MSI Afterburner and take it to plus 1100 it just feels like this hyperbole to do and then plus 100 on the core and then you boot into a game and it just runs it's pretty crazy there's a bit of a performance increase but it's not massive although 114 frames per second at Ultra settings on a pretty new beautiful game at 1440p we're getting there we're getting there so yeah we're almost at that high refresh rate 1440p mark I actually want to do another video where I talk about how demanding high refresh rate 1440p is because i think people kind of underestimate how difficult it is to get those those frame rates at 1440p now on a quick subjective note around how i personally experienced going from the RT x20 loser 60 system to the 2080 superman system with the RT x 2060 and the rise in seven 2700 in that you could really feel the system's struggling with games like battlefield 5 and because the average frame rate was at like 70 to 80 it means that any frame rate fluctuation is very obvious on the high refresh rate monitor because that's a range of FPS that you can you can really feel the difference with the RT X 2060 you're not really making the most of the high refresh rate of your monitor unless you drop the settings quite aggressively whereas with the 2080 super because the average frame rate is above a hundred which a hundred for me is where I kind of stop feeling the difference it means that it feels significantly smoother on the RT x 2080 system I also think that the horizon 730 700 X was a really important part of the upgrade because I found with a high refresh rate gaming with titles like Battlefield 5 and Far Cry 5 they actually become very CPU dependent above like a hundred frames a second lower end CPUs seem to limit those games quite a lot there were quite a few concerns about various aspects of the build in the first video in the comment section but honestly this system has been very reliable and now with the extra power and full access to the rear i/o I don't really feel there's anything that I need to fix on it anymore so dust wise we didn't really have an issue with it and as far as power buttons go I don't have a power button but someone recommended that I in the BIOS set the motherboard to switch on when it gets AC power so now all I do to turn it on is just flick the switch where the power supply is plugged in so that's been very convenient yeah honestly the system is one of my favorite systems I've ever built before I really I really love it yeah so let me know in the comments section below what you think of this system and that brings me to the end of the video so let me know what you think of this configuration subscribe to the channel like the video share it with your friends follow me on whatever social media you like I'll have it linked in the description below and also I stream on Saturdays at 11 a.m. Pacific time so go check that out also have my twitch account linked in the description and until the next video bye byetoday we're gonna follow up on the IKEA desk drawer gaming PC machine system this PC has been serving me really
