The Differences Between Two High-Performance CPUs

The only real difference between two high-performance CPUs is the CPU clock speed with the Wraiths Fire cooler. We're getting just over four gigahertz now, unlike the multi-threaded stress test that you just saw because we're not using 100% of the CPU. Then the CPU can auto overclock itself a bit more. We're actually at four point oh five gigahertz for most of this bouncing around between that and four gigahertz even on the right hand side we're bouncing between 4.2 and 4.25 gigahertz which is actually faster than it ever ran on the multi-threaded test because again we're not using 100% we're using about half of it or about six cores but we're not really using the hyper threading all that much now.

When you look at the frame rate chart which I'll show you in just a second and even this real-time performance which actually explains the chart what you will notice is that the performance of the game is dependent upon your graphics card and where you're playing far more than it is the CPU. It is true that there are CPU bound games, but most Triple A games are not going to be graphics card limited. I fully understand that some people would say why not put a GTX 10 in here to remove as much graphics performance to make it purely CPU testing. I personally don't like those tests who puts a $750 video card on a mid-level CPU. I guess some people do, but I think that's a poor choice frankly.

If you're going with a i7-8700k or an i5-9600K, which is a mid-range core price a risin 720 700 X or an i9-9900k makes no sense for a top-of-the-line graphics card. Here are the benchmark results of the game. The race spire was 66 frames per second average and the Master liquid 240 was 62 frames per second average. No, your eyes don't deceive you the game does not care whether you're running 4.0 or 4.2 gigahertz.

The game cares about your graphics card first in your CPU second. An rx 580 in here the CPU doesn't make any difference whether it's either speed you're limited by what you're doing in the game. I fully recognized that I could run the games built-in benchmark but then the results would just be matched because it only cares about the graphics card.

In the case of a faster graphics card an rx Vega 56 or a gtx 1070 TI will have dramatic performance benefits in Ghost Recon Wildlands and most other games versus a faster CPU once you're remotely close to this level more CPU doesn't make a big difference. If you're not playing games if you're doing video encoding rendering 3d animation if you're doing stuff that needs lots of CPU power, then allow me to introduce you to arisin 720 700 X.

It's $100 more expensive than the 2600 X with 8 cores and 16 threads it comes with the upgraded Wraith prism cooler. While we did get more Cinebench multi-threaded performance by replacing the stock cooler on the 2600 X with a 240 millimeter liquid cooler we gained 6% replacing the CPU with the 2700 X gains 35%. The i9-9900k in stock using the Wraith prism cooler if you really want more CPU performance by a faster CPU in general, and there are exceptions but in general the only time I recommend aftermarket cooling is if you've already bought yourself the best CPU and you want even more performance.

Also everything else about your computer should already be top notch spending $100 on a liquid cooler for your CPU when the rest of your components are mid-level makes no financial sense.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello and welcome to tech deals should you replace the stock cooler from a risin 520 600 X with something more powerful for either stock XFR to auto overclocking or manual overclocking in today's video we're gonna take a look at just that I have this CPU installed in the asou strogg Strix x4 70 - eff motherboard a very nice premium $200 board that excels at overclocking and we're gonna compare the stuff cooler to this very nice cooler master master liquid 240 millimeter all-in-one liquid cooler gaming and non gaming benchmarks coming right up before we get to that I want to talk to you briefly about flow plane flow plane is the monthly subscription only service hosted by Linus Media Group for $3.00 per month you get ad free viewing downloadable videos early access videos many of these videos you're looking at right here are not yet on YouTube they will be but they're not yet you get both of the tech deals channels tech deals and tech deals gaming and exclusive videos visit the Microsoft Store or visit to the Tesla Model X that's my daughter sitting right there those are not main channel videos but those will never be on YouTube and then of course a bunch of benchmarks and some other things that you otherwise would not see now there are other content creators there each one is three dollars a month and it directly supports the creators so if you want add free access if you want early access downloadable videos and if you want to know that you're supporting tech deals please consider signing up using the link down in the video description below all of the benchmarks you're about to see were run on this open air test bench in a 22 degree C ambient room on this motherboard using both this cooler and the cooler master master liquid 240 using cooler masters thermal paste 16 gigabytes of ddr4 32 hundred megahertz Ram was installed it's the g.skill flare X memory CL 14 very good stuff and then we also have an rx 580 from MSI their gaming X model running at its stock out-of-the-box speed of 1300 80 megahertz when is updated the latest version of Windows as of the first week August 2018 as are all the AMD drivers which are downloaded from AMD site and Windows is installed on MDOT two crucial MX 500s SD before we start I do want to clear something up regarding some misconceptions over stock coolers if you have never used one of the modern rising stock coolers let me show you an Intel stock cooler next to the Wraith spire if you have read online of messages or forums or heard oh nobody uses stock coolers doesn't everybody replace those things you probably were hearing about Intel stock coolers not the rise in coolers these are substantially better 95 watt TDP it has a real copper core slug on the bottom no it's not as good as a liquid cooler no it's not as good as a hyper 212 evo but it is much much better than the cheap piece of aluminum that is on the Intel cooler so before you dismiss the stock cooler outright you might want to watch this and give it a chance what this video will not do is compare the noise profile of the stock cooler to this specific liquid cooler this is a representative cooler of all the 240 millimeter liquid coolers I've used other brands it's very similar in performance if you want silent fans get a knock to it or a be quiet fan even if you buy a cooler such as this replace the fans with those they are much quieter but performance wise it'll be about the same and let that being said let me show you some benchmark charts the first chart I want to show you is the temperature this is a 264 stress test with the top four boxes checked your eyes do not deceive you the CPU temp as reported by a 264 really is this much cooler with the master liquid 240 65 degrees C versus 46 degrees C that is a huge temperature difference please note the system is completely stable at both temperatures with both coolers but it is much much cooler running with the cooler master this next chart is very important and frankly will explain the rest of the results at full a 264 stress testing at stock speeds we got 3.8 gigahertz on the Wraiths spire cooler for point 1 gigahertz on the cooler master master liquid 240 no your eyes do not deceive you the CPU was actually running 300 megahertz faster absolutely stock settings in the BIOS no overclocking everything was set to auto accept the ddr4 Ram which was set to do CP in the issues bios but everything else was left at Auto it really is a 300 megahertz jump and that's the XF are to extended frequency range Auto overclocking with a lower temperature floor the CPU is running faster without you having to do anything Cinebench r15 is one of the most multi-threaded tests you can find 1329 versus 1409 stock settings that is a nice performance jump by just replacing your cooler having said that it's worth noting it's a 6% performance difference is it worth buying a 240 millimeter liquid cooler to get 6% more multi-threaded performance that's a personal choice but that's a lot of money to spend for a 6 percent jump when we run the CPU Z benchmarks you can see here that the performance is very close but again it's still faster at using the liquid cooler this does not however translate to as large of a performance difference as Cinebench 2.7 percent and 3.9 percent respectively for single and multi-threaded runs here you have more of the same from the 7-zip benchmark the 240 millimeter liquid cooler wins because we have more clock speed of running a pure multi-threaded test how much that translates to a real percentage difference three percent five point seven percent and four point four percent respectively before you all rush out and buy a 240 millimeter liquid cooler let me point out to you that a 5-minute compression operation that takes 300 seconds on the Wraiths pyre cooler will take 291 seconds on a 240 millimeter liquid cooler you're saving nine seconds across a 5-minute operation is that really work the cost moving on to game test we have Ghost Recon wildlands on the left-hand side of the screen we are running with the Wraith spire cooler and on the right out of the screen we're running with the 240 millimeter liquid cooler the only real difference is you'll see here besides the fact that I am in a different area of the game playing with different vehicles I understand that affects it we'll talk about that but the only real difference is the CPU clock speed with the Wraiths fire cooler we're getting just over four gigahertz now unlike the multi-threaded stress test that you just saw because we're not using 100% of the CPU then the CPU can auto overclock itself a bit more we're actually at four point oh five gigahertz for most of this

Triple A games are gonna be graphics card limited I fully understand that some people would say why not put a GTX 10 atti in here to remove as much graphics performance to make it purely CPU testing I personally don't like those tests who puts a $750 video card on a mid-level CPU I guess some people do but I think that's a poor choice frankly if you're going with a 1080 T I go with a risin 720 700 X or an i7 8700 K a mid-level rise in five or I five makes no sense for a top-of-the-line graphics card and here's the benchmark results the race spire was 66 frames per second average and the master liquid 240 was 62 frames per second average no your eyes don't deceive you the game does not care whether you're running 4.0 or 4.2 gigahertz look 1% lows 42 and 48 it's reversed this game cares about your graphics card first in your CPU second with an rx 580 in here the CPU doesn't make any difference whether it's either speed you're limited by what you're doing in the game I fully recognized that I could run the games built-in benchmark but then the results would just be matched because it only cares about the graphics card in that case I understand wanting a faster computer if you play games
