Not to mention, the "is it worth it" question is sort of pointless, because at the end of the day nobody is making you buy this PC. Whether it's worth it or not - depends on the person.
something that has always bugged me about testing thermals is: why do they always do the tests with the case open. Having the case open effectively changes the airflow designs of the case
I dont get that either, you would want to know how a case runs closed because thats how most of us runs our pcs. I guess gamernexus is the pro go to when it comes to testing thermals.
I love how this big dude is so soft spoken, good video linus, enjoyed seeing all the specific aspects of max overclocking when the most overclocking I've ever done is through xmp lol

I mean, he knows it's a kinda-sorta prototype and he's dealing with the destructive imp of technology, Linus Sebastian. Even the best engineers worry when their stuff is positioned near him.
being able to perceive a difference of 200 fps or 210 fps would be extremely difficult. theyve already played games on top end pcs. what they havent seen are just the number differences in some of the processes.
I remember when I built my old PC in early 2012, Steam would let you download however much your connection could handle at once. I queued up a bunch of downloads when I was at home, but wanted to download stuff using the T3 connection at work instead of my DSL. When I booted it up and Steam started, the entire system was unusable until Steam was done downloading those games. So yeah, I believe it when you say Steam downloads are a good CPU test.
the fact that Splave's bluescreened several times makes me feel better about the pain I went through to get my delidded watercooled 12900k stable, it was a nightmare (watchdog timeouts for days) - but I'm very happy with what I finally ended up with!
12:30 You should have also tried with the side panel in place because with that amount of fans, it's possible that the thermals are better with sides closed.
Ikr? Just around 2 years ago he live streamed with the title “I’ve been thinking of retiring”. I think he’s mind has definitely changed about that recently
Isn't the lack of side panel actually a disadvantage in this case? I mean, with that many fans surely the airflow must be superb and actually required to evacuate the hot air properly
Not really due to convection and having that much open space for air to escape , any hot air will naturally rise up and out of the case no fans needed , while if your limited to just one fan and the toatall pressure of the case pulling exhaust heat , it will accumulate faster due to those restrictions in airflow
@@lucidx2 convection isn't doing anything with that much airflow. What I could see happening is more of the air coming off the GPU being sucked in by the CPU cooler, because the air from the intake fans is escaping out the side instead of forcing it out the back of the case.
I love the fact that when Splave isn't talking, he's death staring somebody behind the camera. Makes it look like Linus is being held hostage by the Russian Mafia.
😂😂😂 pretty much exactly what I was think. Twist is that Splave is the one being held hostage by the LTT mafia & threatened because he’s terrified of being on camera
You should've kept the side panel on the Splave for better results. In a closed environment the fans can suck much more fresh air over the CPU/GPU coolers.
Doubt it, components usually run at their peak in open air. Cases serve to protect the parts of the PC, and case fans are there to mitigate the side effect of heat buildup. With the side panel off the GPU can be exhausting its heat directly out of the case while the bottom fans feed it fresh air. They should have kept the side panel on though, but for the opposite reason, because the components are probably running cooler than normal with it off.
Did you really thermal test the fractal torrent with the side panel open? You know that's a positive pressure case... Right? EDIT: Dude, no, seriously, make the test again. The hole glory of that case is that the pressure coming from the front fans makes almost impossible for the gpu temps to reach the CPU cooler. Is literally the case with the best temps on the market while also being positive pressure.
@@GeekProdigyGuy Still, in the video they are using the case open while also having thermal throttling with a thermocyphon... They are not even mentioning that you should NOT use a possitive pressure case open if you want decent temps.
@@acanalesc Linus and co are generally way too haphazard, it seems this is why the lab is happening, they need real people that aren't just TV personalities.
Splave is a top guest; would be great to see more of him. One thing with the testing though; why is it being done with the case open? doesn't that effect the airflow negatively?
Since you mentioned having a UPS, how about some videos on testing the benefits of having one? Or perhaps some different use cases. Personally, I have small UPS units for both my tower and my internet. I'm planning to get a third when I set up a NAS device. I also have family who keep a UPS connected to the kids' TV.
I've considered getting one, but the idea of having to mess with replacing and dispose of the batteries every 5 years kind of turns me off of it, and I seem to have pretty stable power where I live. I'd also like to see a more in depth video on the subject.
maybe you have to watch linus as long as i have in order to get the jokes.. but, they're not ACTUALLY recommending to get a UPS. they're saying if you get the Splave PC, which they low-key don't recommend, because, Linus mentioned 4 times about not liking the cooler in it, and also low-key mentioned that aside from the top-binned silicon, it's essentially the same as their machine, only 5% faster.... you could get 5% faster than stock just by using EVGA precision X OC and upping your video card a bit... so, i mean, 5% is literally nothing in terms of overclocking performance. (but overclocking doesn't really ever get anyone much more performance anyhow... but i think they were expecting better given that this guy is ranked number 1 in overclocking) anyway, they mentioned the UPS because they were running two 1500W (approximately) power supplies, which, together at full power, means they're going over the maximum amperage allowed on a typical home power circuit (i.e. it'll blow the breaker). he also mentions that their machine is $5100, but this guy doesn't know how much his machine is going to sell for yet.... linus throws shade at that in the end. linus basically ripped this guy a new one, but did it in a very passive aggressive way, and i think it might have been easy to miss, but i assure you, don't worry about a UPS (unless you're a business or streamer or something, but even then, nowadays, how often does your power REALLY go out? where I'm at, it almost never goes out even during storms), i also assure you that linus and team would recommend just spending your money on a water cooler and doing some overclocking yourself. Linus even says that intel and manufacturers guarantee their products will work at any ambient temperature, which he could not say the same for the Splace PC. IF that's not ripping dude a new one, i don't know what is. Trust me, Don't give this Splave PC another thought, and don't worry about the UPS slight-of-hand joke at the end there.
weird quote from linus with the 1000+$ tower. Maybe it is just a NA problem with shitty power but here in europe I haven't heard from anyone that they actually use one. For a home server with important data it is another story but even in businesses for normal worker's computer (that still have important data), they don't use ups's. I also don't remember the last time when power was off. I think 3 years ago
@@tirkentube 16:35 he literally says "anyone with a PC that's worth more than, I'd say $1000 in the tower, should have a UPS on it". $1k is a far cry from the $12k number I keep seeing repeated here.
Splave just makes me happy. Soft spoken but extremely intelligent and calm. I wouldn't mind meeting him in person. Seems like a gentle giant. Both in stature and intellect.
@@epzaqzazazazazaz3580 you could have just said nervous in this case, as he's being featured on a youtube channel with millions of subscribers. any number of reasons to be nervous in that regard. you're making up an alternative reality saying it's because of him being judged on size. just like abrahem ferrer made it up saying it felt like he wanted to fold linus 8 times like a paper.
BRO i was looking for this comment lmfao I laughed hard as hell. Dude dressed in his loungewear walkin by with food like they weren't even filming😂 He kinda looked Asian maybe it was Yvonnes dad?
Goes to show just how good automatic boost clocking is from the factory nowadays. The last time I think overclocking was really worth it is when I had a 980ti. I was able to get about 25% extra performance from it with a custom bios flash. Nowadays it’s all about low temps. It’s strange that water cooling wasn’t chosen here. A custom loop is very safe to use as long as you know what you’re doing.
im in the market for a UPS for my unraid server, and i would LOVE to see a huge UPS testing / breakdown of multiple models. im surprised that hasnt been done on LTT yet
That last comment about needing a UPS is spot on for me. I had crashing issues for years, even after swapping out psu's and undervolting everything. After getting a UPS I have had 0 crashes and my stuff is protected on top of that. Dirty power is a real thing.
We're to the point where, as far as I'm concerned, we spend more than enough on even reasonable systems that a UPS should just be a standard piece of the setup now.
@@CombatArmsOwnah you might not need 1500w though. I have an overclocked 5900x and 3080 with 9 fans, rgb, 3 m.2s and 2 ssds. I also have my 32" 165hz hdr monitor hooked to it and I only draw about 80% of my 900 watt ups. I'm a little worried about a 4000 series card, but I can take the monitor off if need be.
Splave stares at linus like "i swear to god don't touch it or drop it... I made it perfect" the amount of time and effort to get it to this stage must be insane
it's not, you apply a cooler, set some stuff in the bios, and that's all. most of the work is done long before you start the specific system by reading up on what certain settings do.
12:37 This is why I am an advocate for horizontal motherboards/cases. Gravity is also nicer to large heavy components that are going to be resting inside a computer case for multiple years.

They were called "Desktop" computers (and they were also called-that because they went ontop of your desk (ie. your "desktop")). The ones that you see right-now (that stand vertically) were-called "Tower" computers because they looked like "towers[/castle towers]".
The way components are bought in bulk and selected by speed sounds like the way 8-Pac does his rigs at overclockers, except he selects them from a full pallet load of parts. Have a feeling this will be special.
$12K? Usa dollars? My 6900xt with a 8 core I7 11700 , 32gb ram and 850 watt gold rated be quiet psu with 6 fans and 3 terabyte HD, 500gb ssd cost me $2,600 Usd. Benchmarks put 6900xt close to a 3090 performance and the card cost me almost half the cost of the pc.😆

Making fins copper doesn't make much sense. Copper is better at metal to metal heat transfer than Aluminium, but Aluminium is better at metal to air heat transfer
@@pumpkinLive Could do a plated fin stack. Might not be good to use actual copper (bc of tarnishing) but the look would be cool.... Now you've got me thinking of a gold plated fin stack just for the heck of it.
Power and wireless interference aside, with the side of the case off you are interrupting the optimal air flow out the back. Splave specifically mentioned it wasn't an issue with the GPU blowing into the CPU cooler. With the proper ducting in place (aka close up the case) you might not have seen some of the issues you did. It's such a fine-tuned system that interrupting the airflow the way you did will skew the results.
If you've got bad/dirty power a UPS with automatic voltage regulation, or even just a dedicate voltage regulator, is definitely a good idea. We occasionally get power spikes bad enough to blow incandescent bulbs out of the fixture and bad brown outs. After having several devices suffer from the bad power everything very important is on a UPS with AVR and I have a higher power standalone voltage regulator for all the other electronics. They're not very expensive and can really save your devices by automatically correcting high or low voltage
You're definitely right. And honestly, with the amounts that we spend even on more reasonable systems, I'd argue that maybe it should just be a standard component to a setup at this point.
I am a little confused on all of this.. I have a somewhat no compromises set up.. and I heard and purchased a 1000-1200 watt power conditioner. It apparently does everything a surge protector does while cleaning up the power delivery... do the UPS with AVR do what a power conditioner does too? Should I be using a ups with avr and just repurpose my power conditioner.
closing the case will improve air flow, you had the super duper one open resulting in loss of the air pressure. so the overclocked one could perform way better i m guessing.
It annoys me so much that all these FLOW cases have the mother board lined up in the direction where the heat sink blades on most of the equipment do not flow with the direction of air. Heat rises, you can see the path of flow is up and sideways instead of it all just flowing up.
2002: Definitely overlock dude. You can get some SERIOUS gains for like no effort. 2022: It takes an overclock world record holder tweaking and tuning basically every setting to squeeze even 5% gains out of the components. Overclocking is essentially dead.
Competitive overclocking is much more like their last video with Splave where they try to push parts to their limits with ridiculous cryogenic cooling and whatnot. This PC is just for bragging rights, there's no practical reason to get one
Corpos have been thinking "wait a minute, giving away extra performance basically for free... no way, stop that!" Somewhat of a pitty, I could squeeze out a couple of years longer being relevant out of my CPUs. The first gen i7 920 was relatively easy like 50% overclockable. Had it at 3,8 GHz from 2,66 GHz, that was nuts. Some users achieved even higher stable clock speeds... xD
@@Charles_Bro-son you think Intel is going in and setting a variable like “over 5ghz just crash the computer”? Overclocking is dead because of better cpu boosting algorithms. Except for GPUs, they just have arbitrary power limits. Not really a thing for CPUs though.

The GPU paid for itself in the first few months back during the crypto boom last year. Gaming on it is otherworldly now that I have the new i9, without any special tuning or overclocking I run 250fps and up in almost any game I come across. It's funny how I remember not that many years ago starting with a pentium 4 and a 8400gs with a broke fan and being happy to play my pc games like DayZ at a blazing 12fps. My how things change, those days make me appreciate what I have now so much more.
Linus: it's thermal throttling, that might be because... interrupting Engineer: ...the freaking side panel is missing! if you pump air in a closed system using 5 large fans, it will go where it is needed. If it can enter through a gigantic hole in the side of the case, it just might choose to go there ;-)

something that has always bugged me about testing thermals is: why do they always do the tests with the case open. Having the case open effectively changes the airflow designs of the case
it dose but to be fair the stock pc case was open as well
Probably for the video, to show off the internals visually
I mean there is absolutely NO WAY that it make things " WORST " soooo...
I dont get that either, you would want to know how a case runs closed because thats how most of us runs our pcs. I guess gamernexus is the pro go to when it comes to testing thermals.

being able to perceive a difference of 200 fps or 210 fps would be extremely difficult. theyve already played games on top end pcs. what they havent seen are just the number differences in some of the processes.
I relate at the tender age of 22
I feel old now for enjoying installing all kinds of Linux distros more than actually using them 😅🤣
I've always been more excited by the hardware than the games. I'm just a hardware kind of guy.
I remember when I built my old PC in early 2012, Steam would let you download however much your connection could handle at once. I queued up a bunch of downloads when I was at home, but wanted to download stuff using the T3 connection at work instead of my DSL. When I booted it up and Steam started, the entire system was unusable until Steam was done downloading those games. So yeah, I believe it when you say Steam downloads are a good CPU test.
Oh yeah they’ll tank your whole system lol I have a modest 11400 but that shit will hit 80% downloading games
That would require having a fast enough connection in the first place.
the fact that Splave's bluescreened several times makes me feel better about the pain I went through to get my delidded watercooled 12900k stable, it was a nightmare (watchdog timeouts for days) - but I'm very happy with what I finally ended up with!
Allen seems like such a gentle giant. i love this idea aswell. a way for overclockers to actually earn money for their hard work
Yes. The case fans could direct more fresh air towards the coolers and remove hot air better if set up well
12:30 You should have also tried with the side panel in place because with that amount of fans, it's possible that the thermals are better with sides closed.
true
Exactly what I came to the comments wondering about
THANK YOU

Isn't the lack of side panel actually a disadvantage in this case? I mean, with that many fans surely the airflow must be superb and actually required to evacuate the hot air properly
thats what i was thinking
If they both have side panels off it is at least fair comparison
Not really due to convection and having that much open space for air to escape , any hot air will naturally rise up and out of the case no fans needed , while if your limited to just one fan and the toatall pressure of the case pulling exhaust heat , it will accumulate faster due to those restrictions in airflow
@@lucidx2 convection isn't doing anything with that much airflow. What I could see happening is more of the air coming off the GPU being sucked in by the CPU cooler, because the air from the intake fans is escaping out the side instead of forcing it out the back of the case.
this is the very smart thought
I love the fact that when Splave isn't talking, he's death staring somebody behind the camera. Makes it look like Linus is being held hostage by the Russian Mafia.

You should've kept the side panel on the Splave for better results. In a closed environment the fans can suck much more fresh air over the CPU/GPU coolers.
[citation needed]
Doubt it, components usually run at their peak in open air. Cases serve to protect the parts of the PC, and case fans are there to mitigate the side effect of heat buildup. With the side panel off the GPU can be exhausting its heat directly out of the case while the bottom fans feed it fresh air. They should have kept the side panel on though, but for the opposite reason, because the components are probably running cooler than normal with it off.
Source?
Source: Trust me bro.
"I made it the fuck up!"
Did you really thermal test the fractal torrent with the side panel open? You know that's a positive pressure case... Right?
EDIT: Dude, no, seriously, make the test again. The hole glory of that case is that the pressure coming from the front fans makes almost impossible for the gpu temps to reach the CPU cooler. Is literally the case with the best temps on the market while also being positive pressure.
Alex ran the benchmarks before they actually made this video. Pay attention to the part where he quotes the 5% performance increase in gaming.

Since you mentioned having a UPS, how about some videos on testing the benefits of having one? Or perhaps some different use cases.
Personally, I have small UPS units for both my tower and my internet. I'm planning to get a third when I set up a NAS device. I also have family who keep a UPS connected to the kids' TV.
I've considered getting one, but the idea of having to mess with replacing and dispose of the batteries every 5 years kind of turns me off of it, and I seem to have pretty stable power where I live. I'd also like to see a more in depth video on the subject.
@@tinitis4144 You're concern over battery replacement is a good thing for them to test.
maybe you have to watch linus as long as i have in order to get the jokes.. but, they're not ACTUALLY recommending to get a UPS. they're saying if you get the Splave PC, which they low-key don't recommend, because, Linus mentioned 4 times about not liking the cooler in it, and also low-key mentioned that aside from the top-binned silicon, it's essentially the same as their machine, only 5% faster.... you could get 5% faster than stock just by using EVGA precision X OC and upping your video card a bit... so, i mean, 5% is literally nothing in terms of overclocking performance. (but overclocking doesn't really ever get anyone much more performance anyhow... but i think they were expecting better given that this guy is ranked number 1 in overclocking) anyway, they mentioned the UPS because they were running two 1500W (approximately) power supplies, which, together at full power, means they're going over the maximum amperage allowed on a typical home power circuit (i.e. it'll blow the breaker). he also mentions that their machine is $5100, but this guy doesn't know how much his machine is going to sell for yet.... linus throws shade at that in the end. linus basically ripped this guy a new one, but did it in a very passive aggressive way, and i think it might have been easy to miss, but i assure you, don't worry about a UPS (unless you're a business or streamer or something, but even then, nowadays, how often does your power REALLY go out? where I'm at, it almost never goes out even during storms), i also assure you that linus and team would recommend just spending your money on a water cooler and doing some overclocking yourself. Linus even says that intel and manufacturers guarantee their products will work at any ambient temperature, which he could not say the same for the Splace PC. IF that's not ripping dude a new one, i don't know what is. Trust me, Don't give this Splave PC another thought, and don't worry about the UPS slight-of-hand joke at the end there.
weird quote from linus with the 1000+$ tower.
Maybe it is just a NA problem with shitty power but here in europe I haven't heard from anyone that they actually use one.
For a home server with important data it is another story but even in businesses for normal worker's computer (that still have important data), they don't use ups's.

Goes to show just how good automatic boost clocking is from the factory nowadays. The last time I think overclocking was really worth it is when I had a 980ti. I was able to get about 25% extra performance from it with a custom bios flash. Nowadays it’s all about low temps. It’s strange that water cooling wasn’t chosen here. A custom loop is very safe to use as long as you know what you’re doing.
even a non-custom loop is very safe as long as you pick a trustworthy company and not just go out and buy the cheapest one.

That last comment about needing a UPS is spot on for me. I had crashing issues for years, even after swapping out psu's and undervolting everything. After getting a UPS I have had 0 crashes and my stuff is protected on top of that. Dirty power is a real thing.
Yep, ripple, volt drop, ect..
We're to the point where, as far as I'm concerned, we spend more than enough on even reasonable systems that a UPS should just be a standard piece of the setup now.

@@pumpkinLive the air will pass through, but it'll be less efficient, and copper is ~3x more expensive per kg

Now you've got me thinking of a gold plated fin stack just for the heck of it.
Power and wireless interference aside, with the side of the case off you are interrupting the optimal air flow out the back. Splave specifically mentioned it wasn't an issue with the GPU blowing into the CPU cooler. With the proper ducting in place (aka close up the case) you might not have seen some of the issues you did. It's such a fine-tuned system that interrupting the airflow the way you did will skew the results.
If you've got bad/dirty power a UPS with automatic voltage regulation, or even just a dedicate voltage regulator, is definitely a good idea. We occasionally get power spikes bad enough to blow incandescent bulbs out of the fixture and bad brown outs. After having several devices suffer from the bad power everything very important is on a UPS with AVR and I have a higher power standalone voltage regulator for all the other electronics. They're not very expensive and can really save your devices by automatically correcting high or low voltage
You're definitely right. And honestly, with the amounts that we spend even on more reasonable systems, I'd argue that maybe it should just be a standard component to a setup at this point.
I am a little confused on all of this.. I have a somewhat no compromises set up.. and I heard and purchased a 1000-1200 watt power conditioner. It apparently does everything a surge protector does while cleaning up the power delivery... do the UPS with AVR do what a power conditioner does too? Should I be using a ups with avr and just repurpose my power conditioner.
Do you have any suggestions of ups to buy? I didn't even know what a ups was.
@@mahdialg2 CyberPower
closing the case will improve air flow, you had the super duper one open resulting in loss of the air pressure. so the overclocked one could perform way better i m guessing.
Both looked open to me, but yes i thought the same:)
_Always_ good to see more of IceGiant's thermosiphon tech. I love a powerful air cooler, screw the size!
It annoys me so much that all these FLOW cases have the mother board lined up in the direction where the heat sink blades on most of the equipment do not flow with the direction of air. Heat rises, you can see the path of flow is up and sideways instead of it all just flowing up.
Without CFD or back to back real world testing, it's just speculation.
2002: Definitely overlock dude. You can get some SERIOUS gains for like no effort.
2022: It takes an overclock world record holder tweaking and tuning basically every setting to squeeze even 5% gains out of the components.
Overclocking is essentially dead.
More specifically, end user over is dead. Overclocks are set at the factory now and pre built in.
on an already balls to to wall pre oc setup, on a consumer geared system you can get a lot more out of it
Competitive overclocking is much more like their last video with Splave where they try to push parts to their limits with ridiculous cryogenic cooling and whatnot. This PC is just for bragging rights, there's no practical reason to get one
Corpos have been thinking "wait a minute, giving away extra performance basically for free... no way, stop that!"
Somewhat of a pitty, I could squeeze out a couple of years longer being relevant out of my CPUs. The first gen i7 920 was relatively easy like 50% overclockable. Had it at 3,8 GHz from 2,66 GHz, that was nuts. Some users achieved even higher stable clock speeds... xD

Its hilarious how Splave makes Linus look so much smaller than the usual LTT employees. Id be all hands on deck for Linus bringing him on as their "overclocker". Plus Splaves social interactions with the group reminds me of how my brother is with people. A mountain yet wholesome. Im a big boi myself but im an asshole.
Literally or figuratively? Or both?
Looks pretty dope.
Always nice seeing some over-the-top comparisons.
I know this was a series you guys hinted at a while back but all these 'ghost' computer problems and troubleshooting.

I'm glad to see the Fractal Torrent getting more recognition, such an amazing case. By far my favorite.
