I Use ONLY "Amazon's Choice" Crap To Upgrade My Gaming PC...

**Upgrading the System: A Wild Ride**

We've finally got our Amazon's Choice condom paste ( thermal paste) and there it is, our silicone thermal paste. Now part of me wants to just put one fan in the middle and then call it a day because the CPU we're using does not need this much cooling. It was running very cool and quiet with the stock coolers - this is obscene Overkill.

The thing is, we have a little bit of a ram clearance issue for the fan here now I could add the second fan on this side but then it's going to cover up some of our RGB so I don't know. I think we kind of just need to add the one in the middle. No I'm not gonna lie, this Ventus 2 is a pretty losery version of the RTX 3060 uh but it should get the job done.

You know I I think it is it's okay with that the transformation was complete hey I'd say that's a very nicely pimped system I particularly like this very functional GPU anti-sag device it's really putting in some work here isn't it and we haven't even turned it on yet so let's drop the side panel on there and turn it on to see the light show.

That's quite the Improvement making the internals of the starter system look like an unfurnished apartment but what about performance obviously we're doing a lot better than we were when we just had the igpu in here but that's compared to no dedicated gpus so this performance bump is about as surprising as the sun rising in the morning.

But that doesn't diminish the Colossal size of the jump considering we also crank the settings from low to high at 1080p but it does seem like we have a little bit of a CPU bottleneck utilization jumps to about 90 percent every now and then but yeah the 4600g is kind of struggling to keep up with the RTX 3060.

But I think considering the huge amount of CPU temperature Headroom we have let's do a small overclock on this CPU and see how much of a difference that makes to the the gaming performance in terms of overclocking I went full newbie with it and just bumped the core frequency until the system wouldn't boot 4.6 was as far as I could get.

The fan on the thermal ride cooler does not sound great it sounds like it's having a bit of a rough time but yeah so this is with the overclock the main difference is seems to be the temperatures like you can see we've got higher power draw and more than 10 degrees Celsius higher CPU temperatures in terms of performance though I am not too sure.

It feels very similar feelings that were corroborated by a standardized test we barely gained any average frame rate but we got a good jump in one percent lows but I don't think the performance is entirely the cpu's fault because in the previous video I dropped an RX 6600 into the system without a CPU overclock and got a better result so uh yeah there's that.

At the end of the day Jeff's pick was okay aside from the abomination of the power supply also I probably wouldn't buy that exact version of the RTX 3060 in fact considering the rest of the system I'd be more inclined to just buy an RX 6600 for much less money or a used graphics card come to think of it.

Also the thermal ride assassin does not come with very good fans and the RGB strips had this very cute habit of just switching off every now and then oh I also compared the thermal paste to knock to a nth2 which performed very similarly so that's pretty good but yeah with that let me know what you thought of the upgrade and consider watching the video where I actually built this system and until the next video.
