**My Experience with the New Liquid Cooling System**

I recently purchased a new liquid cooling system for my PC and was eager to test it out. The system promised to improve the performance of my PC, but I wasn't sure if it would live up to its claims.

In this video, I decided to push the limits of the system by running it at full power and seeing how it would perform. I also wanted to compare it to my previous experience with a different liquid cooling system. As you can see from the gameplay footage, the temperatures were a bit better with the new system.

However, when I increased the flow rate to its maximum capacity of around 4000 rpm, the temperatures didn't make much of a difference. The real issue that I was concerned about was the CPU temperatures, which seemed to be fluctuating wildly. It would run at around 50 degrees Celsius for a while, and then suddenly spike up to 58 degrees Celsius before dropping back down to 50 again.

This behavior was not random or unpredictable; it seemed to be happening at very specific times. I wasn't sure if this was due to actual strain on the CPU or if it was just a quirk of the cooling system itself. Luckily, I also decided to push my GPU to its limits and saw that the temperatures were much more consistent.

With both components running at similar temperatures, I felt like I had finally found a system that could keep up with my PC's demands. The only downside was that the PC became incredibly loud, which made me realize that maybe this wasn't the best way to run it.

Despite this, I'm happy to say that the liquid cooling system has been a game-changer for my PC. The temperatures are much more consistent, and the system is performing better than ever before. With this new setup, I feel like I've gotten a lot more value out of my PC, especially when pushing it to its limits.

However, I do have one concern that I'd like to address - the lack of overclocking headroom on the CPU. If you're used to air cooling, you might be surprised by how limited the options are with liquid cooling. The 8700K CPU, for example, does not seem to overclock as well when properly cooled.

I'm eager to see what the future holds for rising CPUs and their potential for overclocking. Will the new generation of CPUs be able to offer better overclocking capabilities? Only time will tell.

For now, I'm happy with my new liquid cooling system and the performance it's delivering. If you're in the market for a new cooling system, I'd definitely recommend considering this one - especially if you're already using a CPU that's similar to mine. Just be aware of the potential limitations when it comes to overclocking.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello and welcome back to hard on hard work I finished my custom loop liquid-cooled PC not that long ago and if you remember in the video I was a little bit disappointed by the temperatures I was getting I was expecting of course like three degrees above ambient and like not being able to hear the PC while sitting right next to it and having everything overclocked to like five gigahertz plus now this was obviously a very reasonable expectation on my part so when I actually fired everything up and it didn't quite do that even after all of the huge amount of effort I put into the system I was a little bit disappointed so obviously I had to go to the internet and find out what was wrong now after suffering great disappointment I decided to go on to forums and ask around for people who have a lot of experience with custom loop liquid cooling about what they think the reason was for my high temperatures in gaming specifically it's really weird because when I ran like stress benchmarks things like Ida 64 Xtreme my temperatures were quite low they were sitting in like a the mid 50s which is pretty good for 1,700 X overclock to 4 gigahertz but when gaming it shot up to like mid 60's which was similar temperatures I was getting from the hybrid to 12x that I had kind of cooling the system before so why was that it didn't make any sense to me and kind of after firing off a bunch of questions and getting a lot of very helpful responses the kind of general consensus was that there was something wrong with the pump so then when I went into the BIOS to try and kind of up the RPM of the pump to see if that made and made any difference I couldn't get it above 2700 rpm which is really weird because the d5s max operating rpm is 4500 so there was obviously something wrong with the pump and as I showed in my build video there's this like tiny little dribble of water coming through into the reservoir and it's supposed to be a powerful raging torrent so what was up with that then I decided there's no other way about it because draining a loo and kind of fiddling with the pump is a lot of effort especially with a rigid kind of system that I have in my PC and I only had that much fluid left and I decided the right thing to do would be to just order a pump because the pump even sounded really unhealthy and I didn't buy it from a reputable source I bought it from a guy on yahoo auctions so there was a chance that it wasn't going to be working properly so I went on to UK's website and bought a g2 which is kind of like their upgraded version of the d5 pump I got it in I drained my system and I installed the pump and lo and behold it went from a tiny dribble to the raging torrent that I wanted but in the beginning and then I decided this is the perfect opportunity to test what kind of difference flow rate makes in the actual cooling performance so the test that I did was first at the kind of like operating speed that I would use it day to day which is about 50% of the actual pump speed which is ironically enough the 2700 rpm around there that the previous pump maxed out how that so I was still using it at the same speed but it was definitely more of a flow rate going on and yeah the temperatures were a little bit better as you can see here from the gameplay footage it was doing a bit better and then I decided to kind of up it and push it to a hundred of a hundred percent which is four thousand odd rpm and the temperatures were looking a little bit better but it didn't make much of a difference the thing is the CPU temperatures are really weird for me because it kind of does this thing where like it it so let's say we're running at 50 degrees right is the kind of average that the pump said no or that the CPU sets at it runs at 50 degrees 50 degrees and then it fires up to like 58 and then kind of slowly goes down to 50 again and then stabilizes at 50 for a bit and then fires up to 57 and then goes down so there's quite a lot of fluctuation and it's very kind of it's not random fluctuation it's very kind of specific time wise so I don't know if it has to do with with actual strain on the CPU or if that's just a thing rising CPUs do because my GPU which you know is the one that uses the most juice while gaming has a very consistent temperature but then when I decided to push it balls to the wall and put all the fans that I have in the PC at a hundred percent power as well PC performed a lot better I was getting like mid 40 degree temperatures across the board on my graphics card and at CPU so the temperatures between the two components were fairly similar which was the one thing that worried me with the previous pump was that the GPU was a lot colder than the CPU so I thought maybe I seated it wrong with something but so yeah the temperatures are a lot more consistent this time and but at this point the pcs really loud like really loud so I decided that maybe this isn't the best way to run it even though the temperatures are amazing anyway I now know what the issue was with my PC and yeah I think I've kind of fixed it it's performing a lot better which means obviously the value proposition is now a little bit better for the liquid cooling system but the thing is considering the fact that I have a rise in CPU in there I'm not gonna get much more than four gigahertz anyway because the phone gigabit overclock is stable but sometimes it acts up a little bit with Premiere Pro and exporting and I have to dial it back to 3.9 so I'm not gonna push it further because it's not stable enough for day-to-day use and with that it brings me to the end of this video now with the new pump I'm actually a lot happier with the PC I feel that the actual liquid cooling gear is definitely more worth it at this point especially if you're cranking it you're getting like at least a 20 degree drop in temperatures which is quite big but my biggest issue with this PC at this point actually is the rise in CPU in it because I think if you're traditionally cooling a rise in CPU it's a great value but the thing is because of it's very limited overclocking Headroom when you kind of move to something a bit more exotic in the cooling Department you're you're just not getting any more performance which you would potentially with the CPU like the 8700 K the 8700 K if it's properly cooled does overclock further than it does on something like an air cooler so it means that you know you're getting a more impressive overclock out of the CPU although you would probably have to deal it it which is another issue so the thing is it'll be interesting to see what this new generation of rising CPUs are gonna do for the actual overclock ability of the architecture hopefully the fact that it's a dice drink will mean that you're gonna be getting better overclocking from it let's hope that's the case and because of the kind of socket compatibility it's gonna mean that I can just drop a rise in plus CPU in this PC and then get more bang for my buck hopefully let's see what happens thank you very much for watching if you like the video do you like to do like and subscribe to
