Using a Machine Without a Cooler: A Test of Endurance

When it comes to testing the limits of a machine without proper cooling, one must be prepared for the heat. In this experiment, we will be using an unspecified line processor, presumably a modern-day CPU, and subjecting it to various tests to see how well it can handle the heat.

To begin with, let's take a look at what our machine is running at its current temperature. We are using a tool called hardware info, which provides us with detailed information about the system's specifications. In this case, we have set the sensors to run and checked the CPU temperature, which is currently hovering around 56 degrees Celsius. This may seem like a relatively low temperature, but we can quickly change that by opening up Google Chrome on our machine.

As we open the web browser, the temperature begins to rise, jumping to mid-forties, with one point even reaching as high as 46 degrees. It's worth noting that we are not connected to the Internet at this time, as we don't want any potential updates interfering with our test results. Our goal is to ensure that all of our test machines are identical, including operating system and installed software.

To further test our machine's temperature limits, let's open up a few more tabs in Google Chrome. As we do so, the temperature begins to rise again, this time reaching 60 to 70 degrees Celsius. We're not far off from 80 degrees now, which is surprisingly hot considering that all we have running on our system are just a few web browser tabs.

To take things up another notch, let's open up a stress testing tool called Smart Burning Test. This older version of the test does what it claims to do, and we'll set it to run at 100% capacity, making the CPU work as fast as possible. As we start the test, you can see on the right-hand side of the screen that the temperatures are already rising, reaching up to 70 to 75 degrees Celsius.

As the test continues, the temperature increases rapidly, eventually reaching 82 degrees Celsius. The processor is still running at its maximum capacity, but it's starting to slow down slightly due to the heat. We can see the CPU speed dropping from 3.7 gigahertz to 3.3 gigahertz as it tries to cool itself down by reducing its workload.

However, even this reduced workload is not enough to keep the temperature under control. As we continue to run the test, the temperature continues to rise, eventually reaching an astonishing 99 degrees Celsius. This is equivalent to boiling water, and it's clear that our machine is getting very hot indeed.

While it's technically possible to use a machine without a cooler if it's not overpowered, running such a system for extended periods of time is not advisable due to the risk of overheating and potentially damaging the CPU. Nevertheless, this experiment has shown us just how hot a machine can get when pushed to its limits without proper cooling.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi everyone fell from tech for tech C today we're gonna see if we can actually get a computer to run fine without Hugh think of phone and that doesn't mean anything fancy on top of the processor that means having it bear obviously we're gonna try a low-end processor see how it goes but basic C is if we can actually use it and phone why are you watching do me a favor click on that like and subscribe down at the bottom it will do us a big favor to make more videos like these thanks again for watching okay first of all we're going to just clean over the CPU just to make sure there's no thermal paste there or anything like that on it so what I'm gonna use is this which is called Tim clean Tim clean is basically a citrus based cleaning fluid from a casa and it smells very lemony he's probably the best way of putting it ideal for cleaning processes so just put a bit on a cloth wipe it over and it should get rid of pretty much all the thermal paste there and then use a dry piece of the cloth to just dry it off and there we go it's nice and shiny the CPU the CPU were using is a intel pentium g5 4 0 0 is a 3.7 gigahertz processor the motherboard we're going to be using for this is a be free 60 horas gaming free Wi-Fi which is a gigabyte board we've also got 16 gigabytes of ddr4 memory by Patriots it's their VIPRE memory running at 3200 megahertz so let's start this machine up and see if it powers first of all yeah there's second kick in that looks like that's kicking in okay so I'm gonna do now is move the camera so you can actually see the screen I'm not gonna cut the main reason is this that you can't turn around and say oh it wasn't the same machine or whatever while doing screen grabs or anything like that you'll be able to see this machine still running along with a screen which is just over here and that way you'll be able to see what's going off and you'll be able to see there's no fake and it basically so let me just do camera apologies for any movement okay so there you can see the screen what we're going to do first of all is check what sort of temperature were running at we're going to be running hardware info so we're doing a run sensors only and check what sort of temperature the CPU is actually running it so let's have a look and here we can see at the moment it's running at about 56 degrees Celsius which is not too bad forty degrees that's not too bad considering there is no heat sink or any cooler on that but I'm guessing if we do something simple like open Google Chrome that is going to jump up so I jumped up to the mid forties 46 degrees there at one point even 49 degrees by just opening a web browser bear in mind we're not connected to the Internet at the moment the reason is we don't connect that testing machines up to the internet because the last thing we want is updates interfering with it as well we want all our test machines to be exactly the same so we don't want obviously different versions of Windows different updated programs and so forth everything needs to be identical so what I'm going to do is just open a few tabs and I have a look at the temperature already before even over the tabs we can see the temperatures jumped up to 60 to 70 degrees now so it's pretty hard I'm guessing if we open up a few tabs on here which I'm doing now that temperature is going to jump up a little bit more 77 degrees there so we're not far off 80 degrees in temperature there you go it's just 80 degrees which is pretty hot considering all we've got open there's a few tabs on Google Chrome and nothing else so in basics if you wanted to surf the Internet yes you could without a cooler so let's just say you're in the middle of a pandemic or an apocalypse and for whatever reason you can't find a CPU cool that if you've got a line processor yes it will work but obviously it's going to get hot and I wouldn't advise it because it's going to probably fry itself after a while and just to show you what happens when we put it under a full load we're going to open up a smart burning test which is an older version we're using but it does what we wanted to do and we're going to tell it to run at 100% so what that's going to do is make all the cause of the processor run as fast as possible so that's been a who makes basically make it really hot and while we're doing that when we get a task when in Europe just to show you so you can actually see how fast the process is going so if I run the test now that's just starting it up then you can see on the right-hand side of the screen the temperatures here are up to 70 to 75 and I don't think it's gonna be long before it gets over 80 degrees on there so 82 degrees you can see the processors working flat out at a moment of 100% that it's now up to 87 degrees so as you can see if you're working that process around full work it is gonna get really hot we're pretty much in the 9th is now early 90s 91 it hasn't slowed down the processor yet so it's still doing at 3.7 gigahertz basically we're running at 96 degrees now so it's running very very very hot 97 CPU speed is actually dropping now it's dropped down to 3 point 3 gigahertz and dropping because it's getting that hot it doesn't want to go basically as fast so it's trying to cool itself down by not doing as much work and you can see the CPU is not doing as much work you can see it's dropping on there as well there's now only running at 3 gigahertz than the speed so yeah it will work temperature at the moment is over 99 degrees that's Celsius not Fahrenheit so it is very very hot so it's not something you'd want to touch if you're not sure how hard 99 degrees is basically 100 degrees celsius boils water so that gives you a rough idea how hot it gets but the basic says if you did want to use a machine without the cooler yes you can as long as it's not too overpowered it will work but unadvisable but otherwise thanks for watching don't
