Just a note on FLIR. They typically only give an accurate reading on materials with the emissivity that they are set to. If you have things with a wide variety of emissivity in the scene, like shiny metals, they will always show hotter than their surroundings if the FLIR is set for lower emissivity. For things like the hold down, if its shiny and metal you should correlate the reading with a surface temperature. as it's likely that the reading in the FLIR is way off.
That is why there are special tapes (expensive) available to stick on the surface to get a correct reading with the FLIR. I learned that from an IgorsLab video.
Was thinking the same thing when he was talking about the frame being hot vs the corners of the IHS. The frame is probably painted black and has a likely has a higher emissivity than the IHS.
It feels like it's been a while since we've seen Jay having this much fun overclocking. I'm looking forward to seeing the air conditioner hooked up to it!

Sweet mercy, those are some insane multi-threaded scores. It's amazing how friggin powerful and *efficient* these things are even at stock. People with ARM macs love to talk efficiency all day, but when it comes down to pure brute force, speed, and units of work per watt, they get absolutely destroyed. The professional or studio that gets one of these is gonna get soooo much more done.
With the 7000 series chips, it just seems like AMD can get to Apple Sillicon levels of efficiency, that is performance per watt. And ultimately scales better at the higher end for sure
in fairness, apples m silicon are efficient! amds cpu efficiency is just on another level, especially considering they're on the less efficient x86. imagine amd making arm cpus.
@@patricktrakzel9657 I thought so too, but if you watch it at .25 speed you can see what looks like cracks is just fluid sprays, and the remaining line looks to be a reflection of a tube. I might be wrong, but I don't think so.
I always liked Threadripper... Now I like it even more. As much as a mad scientist experiment Threadripper always feels like, it really feels like AMD is slowly perfecting their CPUs using what they learn with Threadripper back on regular Ryzen.
Threadripper is perfect Ryzen. Ryzen is essentially imperfect Threadripper (heavily cut down on features like memory channels and PCIe lanes, heavily cut down on performance, and with lower quality bins).
... I took break form your channel, still subscribed, for about a year. I came back, and it seems like you're 3 years better. Very glad you're still at it, J2C!
I have played around with a sealed submerged idea and it might keep this beast cool. The pc itself with no fans, naked GPU and CPU submerged in dielectric coolent fluid. The fluid itself is cooled externally by a converted AC cooling unit. It's a closed system, no water ingress and the ability to cool sub ambient even sub zero as some dielectric fluids can flow sub zero. If the AC unit can provide north of 1000W cooling you should be good.
Jay, when running cinebench on our amd server hardware at work, we notice a pretty significant drop in scores if you run them consecutively. Restarting the system after each benchmark tends to make the scores more consistent. Wonder if that’s something happening here since this is kinda just a tamed server chip with some consumer features.
an AC chiller would be awesome to see. I wonder if you can get close to 1000w with pbo and AC running in the case. That would be insane for a CPU socket on a personal rig
I will have fun watching you overclock a threadripper even if I won't buy one. Honestly I just use Epyc cpus on cloud servers. I LOVE the 192 core epyc cpus. :)
More thermal mass is actually a detriment for overall heat *transfer*. The extra thermal mass can help prevent quick spikes depending on the specific heat of the medium used, but overall the larger mass to surface area ratio brings efficiency down. It's the reason why the thicker ihs on the 7000 series ryzen impeded heat transfer. Tldr; thinner plates are better. The thinner the thermal paste, the better. The thinner the ihs is, the better.
Yeah, "1 of 7" here. Get that OC guide video up soon because ill be ready and interested. Im needlessly diving in with a '70x on water using triple 360s. Should last me a decade..
Depends on which one someone goes with cus of how the CCD's are done You have 4 CCD and 8 CCD sku's and the 8 CCD ones The 8 CCD ones are easier to cool due to higher CPU silicon to IHS contact increasing heat to IHS transfer and because it spreads other more IHS it makes it easier to move heat from IHS to cooler
It would be interesting to compare the EK-Quantum Magnitude TR Waterblock (currently 273€ with 24% off - 19% tax included) with an Watercool Heatkiller IV Pro TR Waterblock that costs 120€ (19% tax included)
That would be very interesting, I've used two Heatkiller IV pro's now. One on 9th gen Intel and now a AMD AM5, both pure copper's and I've been more than happy with their performance.
When I did a comparison of the Optimus TR4 block and the Heatkiller Threadripper block in the past, the results were within margin of error. I was expecting a bigger improvement out of the Optimus block because of all their claims of significantly improved temperatures and better cooling design. Even at 500+ watts CPU power draw, there was minimal difference.
Obviously the correct choice between thin 360, thick 360, and thin 420 is yes; as many as you can figure out how to install, even if it's spilling out of the case, and with as many fans as you can find to stick on (bonus points if they're on both sides of the radiators)
That's crazy numbers. great video, that block cools it 10 times better, with those 240 fans, it just another reason why I always use thick blocks. Thanks Jay
i still have the original Threadripper gigabyte board. one of the first wave board that had the retention bracket issue of not applying pressure to the CPU making it not boot or missing memory channels. i shit you not, i screwed with it for 2 hours straight one day to get just the right pressure for it to boot. then, all the memory issues kept cropping up (BSOD's...etc.) glad to see how far AMD has come with this. can't wait to see the 9th gen TR's if there are any.
I think you should try normal all core overclocks, you might be able to lower voltage a bit at the same clocks since PBO applies a good bit more than needed to ensure stability
@@manoftherainshorts9075 I haven't had great luck with CO when it comes to all core loads, even at -30 its too much voltage at too little clocks for my 5950x. An all core load runs ~4.65ghz at ~1.3-1.28vcore, but I can run 4.7 all core stable at ~1.22 vcore
@@BigMan7o0 that's significant I'd say. Going from 1.3 to 1.22V is ~14% less power for cores. I understand that CPUs like R9 5950x and TR 7990x are already very good silicon and run with optimized voltage, less temperature can lead to better temps still.
And that's just basic in app PBO. Setting it up in the BIOS can improve things further. You can even try lowering the voltages whilst still pushing PBO harder.
Ryzen master and BIO PBO are identical infact for most motherboards Ryzen master lets you change more things Ryzen master tells the BIO oh change this and the hardware does it sometimes without needing to restart and other times needing to restart
Thank You so much for this short demo on the capabilities of TR 7980X. I have been desperately waiting for the new TR to replace my old WS with TR2990WX from 2019. Hope You will post detailed videos on how to overclock this beast and how to build (best components) a reliable system WITH RGB on the ASUS board (with full bling-bling lighting aside the fact there is no RGB header on the ASUS board). Just one hint: check if adding thermal pads to the CPU-frame might even enhance thermal transfer to the waterblock which exceeds the size of the CPU and also "covers" the CPU-frame by looks. Maybe additional 1 or 2 °C less ?
You should do Asetek 7th gen vs 8th gen. 8th gen has a larger square cold plate, I believe intended for the latest bigger CPUs (not sure if it's as big as the new Threadripper, but it's bigger than 7th gen). The ROG Ryuo/Ryujin III are 8th gen, as is the Lian Li Galahad II.
The two 420mm rads in that system have a maximum theoretical cooling capacity of around 750W each. It is crazy to me that this loop was reaching 85C or higher with nearly double the "required" cooling capacity for CPU. These new Threadripper CPU's are crazy when overclocked.
I on the other hand surprised the temperature is that low Which such a large IHS and cooler base plate its rather easy to not have equal pressure across the whole thing not spreading the paste properly The theoretical and the actual are different for example 400w cooling capacity keeping a CPU at 76c being upped to 800w of cooling capacity might see that same CPU only drop to 72c Reason for this is heat transfer between the IHS and water is bottlenecked by the thermal paste, with liquid metal those same numbers would be more like 70c and drop to 64c probably high-balling there
I haven't seen anyone produce meaningful water cooled numbers yet. Could be new blocks are needed or Liquid Metal or something else, but the numbers Jay got here can be done with air coolers water is not giving lower temps
It's more about maintaining temps, with the higher core count CPUs. My 5950x with PBO set to Auto, maxes out at 78 - 84*C, but doesn't throttle due to temperature. Even with my 3090 in the loop, my coolant stays 5 - 7 degrees over ambient. With a rated 2100W worth of heat dissipation, according to the Hardware Labs specs.
its not about radiator theoretical capacity. Cooling is limited by the CPU IHS + the Cooler. the fact there is a temp difference shows the bigger block coverage and bigger rads shows the time to saturate the cooling takes longer but it still gets to 93/95 eventually because the limiting factor is the CPU IHS. Pulling 600W in a small surface area of a cpu is the issue. If the cpu was 2x wider then the temps would be lower but they will still creep. Extra rads only means that time to saturate is longer. Even EK say a wattage rating per radiator doesnt make sense. what he showed quite clearly is that there is a benefit from aio to custom loop. the power density of cpu and gpus with the die size is whats the issue, youre never going to see like 70c all core on a cpu like this at 600W.
Threadripper 7000 is a MONSTER. Makes regular Ryzen and Intel Core look like cheap toys (and that's even with the 7980X being heavily memory bandwidth bottlenecked on TRX50 with 1 channel per 16 cores).
I expaect that the corners of the CPU are a lot hotter than measured by the thermal camera. This is because the emmisivity of the CPU metal is lower, so it tricks the IR camera. You need to atach a thermistor, or adjust the emmisivity value on the camera for the respective material.
Just bought a Titanium water block with a copper base plate for mine :P 2xd5 2x420 (6cm THICK ones) I use a Aquacomputer flow meter that has a water temperature sensor ( and my loop is at -350 Mbar :)
14:10 - Well there's ya problem, you're using a dead smurf as thermal paste, try using a silver smurf for thermal paste next time 😛 Jokes aside, love the content Jay! That build montage was *chefs kiss*
Wuuuhaaa. My 3990x OC at 350w hits only 70k points with 2x 360 rads and that EK-Quantum Magnitute waterblock. What a huuuge increase in performance with this generation !!!
I would love to see a video, testing which fan and rad configuration is better. Thin rad with push pull fan config vs thick rad and single fan config. Many cases have room for both, but which works better?
i am the nerd of the family and i want them shirts! too bad i live in the Philippines. Great vid Jay. we can tell that you are very excited to play with your pleb processor.
I'll buy the guide, as I'll soon be buying a 7960xX very soon. Let me know if it's available yet. Just to let you know, I really have no idea what I will be doing to keep the die cool.
I would love to have a system with this CPU in it but my use case means that I wouldn't even be using 0.05% of the processing power so it would be a massive waste of money for me. For those that will make full use of this CPU then this seems like something to consider.
Might be time for a RIP GN redux! I really want one of these. Need? No, but I do have a work use that it would be perfect for involving virtualisation.
How many CPU 12 pin cables were connected to MB? 🤯🤯 Xflow rad will be perfect for loop cooling 1200W+ of CPU GPU combined. Increased water speed will give much better thermal dissipation in the blocks.
I have a zkracken on my threadripper and used thermal Griz and just covered the full plate of the pump. It's been running for several years now no prob and scored pretty dam well on 3dmark / blender. The iHS is huge but honestly all the full blocks looked crappy vs the lcd lol

I expaect that the corners of the CPU are a lot hotter than measured by the thermal camera. This is because the emmisivity of the CPU metal is lower, so it tricks the IR camera. You need to atach a thermistor, or adjust the emmisivity value on the camera for the respective material.
Love the new shirt design. Would love to see this PC with an AC hooked up or dry ice or something.
Video idea. Can you saturate the CPU playing City Skylines 2 on a 200-300k citizen map?
Just bought a Titanium water block with a copper base plate for mine :P
2xd5 2x420 (6cm THICK ones)
I use a Aquacomputer flow meter that has a water temperature sensor ( and my loop is at -350 Mbar :)
14:10 - Well there's ya problem, you're using a dead smurf as thermal paste, try using a silver smurf for thermal paste next time 😛
Jokes aside, love the content Jay! That build montage was *chefs kiss*
16:02 LOOOOL so you murdered a fresh smurf and drained all it's blood into the loop? 🤣
20:19 - HOLY SHIT! 35% of 770A is 269 (noice) amps!!! that's insane, that's as much current as a welder uses for like, 1/4 inch plate 😱🤯
Im a diehard intel guy, and this impresses me .😮
I'd be interested in how it feels to edit a video on it compared to his current editing rig
from 93.000 to almost 120.000 points. That's +- 25% increase ! Insane!
Wuuuhaaa. My 3990x OC at 350w hits only 70k points with 2x 360 rads and that EK-Quantum Magnitute waterblock. What a huuuge increase in performance with this generation !!!
I would love to see a video, testing which fan and rad configuration is better. Thin rad with push pull fan config vs thick rad and single fan config. Many cases have room for both, but which works better?
If EPYC & Threadripper weren't so expensive (even used) they'd be really good home server CPUs.
Jayz fingers look like he did something to Smurfette.
What a beast of a CPU.
Time to bring out the 4x480mm rads + box fan back out!!!
More like time to risk it with liquid metal
The main problem here is IHS to cooler transfer
i am the nerd of the family and i want them shirts! too bad i live in the Philippines. Great vid Jay. we can tell that you are very excited to play with your pleb processor.
VACUUM LOOP FILL!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!
holy CRAP thats nuts
Jay got the blues!
I think the whole "haha, i cant speak properly, isnt that funny teehee" bit is exhausting and been beat into the ground.
I'll buy the guide, as I'll soon be buying a 7960xX very soon. Let me know if it's available yet. Just to let you know, I really have no idea what I will be doing to keep the die cool.
thks for all video content always good to come to channel seein new videos much appreciate:)
The Perfect CPU to play Solitaire has arrived.
I would love to have a system with this CPU in it but my use case means that I wouldn't even be using 0.05% of the processing power so it would be a massive waste of money for me. For those that will make full use of this CPU then this seems like something to consider.
Might be time for a RIP GN redux!
I really want one of these. Need? No, but I do have a work use that it would be perfect for involving virtualisation.
How many CPU 12 pin cables were connected to MB? 🤯🤯 Xflow rad will be perfect for loop cooling 1200W+ of CPU GPU combined. Increased water speed will give much better thermal dissipation in the blocks.
I have a zkracken on my threadripper and used thermal Griz and just covered the full plate of the pump. It's been running for several years now no prob and scored pretty dam well on 3dmark / blender. The iHS is huge but honestly all the full blocks looked crappy vs the lcd lol
All this Threadripper tests are great. But it will all other tests from now on with "ordinary" hardware will be sooo slow.
Only 800w, that's chicken clocking right there lol.
800w is alot. Don't make fun of the video Jay is trying his best
@@Ladioz Sarcasm the use of remarks that clearly mean the opposite of what they say, made in order to hurt someone's feelings or to criticize something in a humorous way.
@@25MHzisbestYeah, tonality doesn't come across the best in comment sections. Maybe use "/s" next time you're being sarcastic
Good GN meme haha
@@BarstucksCoffee people need to start watching Steve Burke at gamers Nexus, he's been educating the US audience for quite some time with his sarcastic comments.
Is it possible to set custom PBO power limit? Like 500W instead of 350W, but not 800W...
There was plenty of headroom for improvement in the 3970X and not many memory stability issues. Maybe you had issues with the older generations of Threadripper Jay?
So you need to hook up an aquarium water chiller!
next Jay challenge, go to the Antarctic Research base and overclock the 7980x
Jay nobody cares about what Steve is doing we only care about you and what you're doing. Keep up the good work and I love your videos.
