2 things: liquid cooling starts cool but once your liquid is saturated it stays hotter than air cooling. The reason liquid cooling is more efficient is NOT because the liquid, but because you are using radiators 2 to 4 times bigger than the dissipators you are replacing. The water (or other liquid) is just a transporter, the real reason your hardware stays cool is the massive dissipators in the other side of the loop. You put the same area surface in an air cooler attached directly to the die and you get the same results without the issues inherent to water cooling (leaks, corrosion, noise, energy, maintenance, complexity)

It did NOT hit 126f!!! Those outside temp readings on your car dash are notorious for being wrong. If it hit 126 in SoCal, it would make national headlines as the hottest temp in history, by a large margin, for the area. 126f is Death Valley level temps. Official temps ranged from 109-113f on that day in question. Depending on where the monitoring station was located. Even those temps are not accurate reflections of air temps, air temps as record by sats will always be a few degrees lower. Ground temps get skewed by things like blacktop, which have no impact on things like the temp in your house or a loft.

11:36 NO NO NO NO NO! You've said this before jay and it's still wrong. The room won't heat up more, just because the the loop pulls the heat away from the dye more efficiently. The only reason the heat output is higher, is because the total thermal conductivity of the watercooling loop is lower than that of an air cooler, meaning the delta T needed to get heat put out by the chip is lower, the software allows the chip to consume more power and thus outputting more heat. Without GPU boost (or Turbo Boost for CPUs) the heat output of the system would be exactly the same.

No, if anything he should have filled the loop with metal, the heat has to pass through the gap in the water block where the water is before it can get to the heatsink where the air cooling can dissipate it. Normally it would be metal between the GPU and heatsink, but by using water the thermal conductivity between the air cooled heat sink and the GPU die is significantly reduced making it a really unfair comparison, air would have made it even worse.
@Azlehria6 жыл бұрын
Water isn't a one-way conductor, though. One of its major benefits for cooling is that it's a significant thermal mass - this is used in e.g. automotive engines to reduce warm-up time by *retaining* heat, which is the purpose of the engine's thermostat. So while filling the card's water block likely increased the conductivity to/through the air heatsink, it *also* provided another path for, and source of, heat to enter idle parts - whether on the GPU die itself or among the other actively-cooled components such as the VRM or VRAM. This will, hopefully obviously, have a negative effect on the feedback monitor controlling the clocks and voltage. In fairness to Jay, these definitely aren't the sort of considerations that immediately come to mind when your brain is baking in your skull.

Hey Jay I may have a topic for your next video. Linus recently mentioned that video card manufacturers and game developers are paying less and less attention to multiple card configurations (SLI/Crossfire) and because of this scaling between 1 and 2 gpus is worse than ever. But he kind of passed over it without going too in depth. Maybe you can expand on this. So I ask you, do you think this is true? If so, how bad is it? (Maybe do a video testing a single 1080ti vs 2 1080ti in sli with a couple a modern games.) What do you think this means for the future? (Are game developers and/or video card manufacturers going to improve on dual card compatibility and drivers or do you think that this is something that eventually will disappear the same way nvidia eliminated 3-way and 4-way sli support.) Would you recommend, now in 2018, anyone to go with a dual card setup or if this is something that is more for bragging rights than actual benefit in performance? Also, what would you recommend: spending your money on a second gpu or on better cooling, meaning to water cool your gpu so it stays cooler and performs better because of this.
@tonymorris43356 жыл бұрын
I like this but the issue is that nobody seems to know how to use Nvidia's profile inspector to setup custom SLI configurations for games. I keep seeing this "They didn't support SLI in X title so it's dead" but I can go into profile inspector, set it up to use SLI, and 90% of the games it works fantastic on. If they do this they need to take the 5 seconds to google "profile inspector XXXXXX game title" and set each game up. Just because it's not plug and play doesn't mean it doesn't work... We're PC gamers, if we wanted it to be simple we wouldn't be on a water cooling video.
@jdejesus00176 жыл бұрын
I get what you're saying, and thank you for the reply, but I was referencing a video that Linus did a couple of weeks ago in which he tested a couple of games with 2-way sli and the scaling was terrible. I haven't tested it myself because I don't have two cards at the moment but I'm sure, or at least I hope, Linus knows how to setup sli correctly. Also he mentions in the video how bad the scaling is. Keep in mind, it's not if (X) game works with sli or not what I want to know. It's how good is the scaling between 1 and 2 cards, tested with a couple of modern games. The thing is that when Linus mentioned it he was trying to prove a point regarding the topic of that specific video, not that that was the topic of the video so he just went over it really fast. That's why I ask Jay (since he always asks his viewers recommendations for topics) to test this. Maybe he can take 4 to 5 modern games and with everything set up correctly, test how do they scale between 1 to 2 cards. So Jay if you're reading this I would really appreciate it. Right now I have one card (1070Ti). Do you think I should spend my hard earned money on a second card or do you think I should spend it on water cooling. It all depends on how much FPS difference am I going to get from that second card.

Jose U. I ran two FE 1080Ti's for about 6 months. I sold them and bought one Gaming X and OC'ed it (runs over 2000Mhz all the time). Scaling was just bad, I don't miss SLI 90% of the time. Edit: IMHO sell your 107Ti and get a 1080Ti rather than adding another card.
@carlwells95046 жыл бұрын
Jose U. I would think it's more a way to get the performance beyond what a 1080ti could give you, a good example is the new crop of high refresh rate 4k monitors coming. There will always a bunch of people looking to SLI/crossfire two cheaper cards (I was thinking of doing it myself for the odd game on my 4k TV) to get the 'same' performance as a flagship card at a cheaper price. But it just doesn't really cut it unless a specific game runs really well on that particular mix of Gpus. And then you get the Video RAM issue so you need a heap in BOTH cards anyway.

Air vs water is all about how much heat you can move and how fast you can get rid of it. At the end of the day, it's metal to air heat transfer: material type, surface area, and air speed determine how good your cooling is. You can get air coolers and radiators with the same material types, and you can get fans to push whatever air speed you want. What watercooling brings to the table is the potential for increased surface area of the radiator, where there are practical limits to the surface area of an air cooler.

there are many reasons to use liquid cooling: 1. it's fun 2. it's quieter (if done right) 3. it keeps components cooler (if done right) I have a mini ITX with i7-4790K@4.8GHz+GTX 1070 at 2000MHz (it can do 2124MHz) running at ~50C while gaming in a room with 31-33C for the most part of the year. It can not be done on air. Is the performance worth 800$ of gear - nope.

The risks that a leaking liquid cooling based system creates in my opinion isn't worth it for the benefits that you gain, especially as if you really want a cooler GPU you just need to increase the area of heatsink that's dissipating heat from the GPU and equally increase air pressure to ensure consistent air flow speed through the larger heatsink, at the end of the day the only way you can truly cool better than using a direct contact heatsink is by using sub zero cooling using expensive hardware, all you do is move the heat away, so at some point watercooling will level out with direct contact heatsink air cooling because the air temps are the same
@StevePatak6 жыл бұрын
By having fluid in the block, tubes, etc. even without the pump moving fluid you're giving the heat sink another pathway to dump heat so the "air cooling" number may have been lower than expected than if the block was completely dry.

There is one thing that I don't like about this, and that is Jay FILLED the loop BEFORE testing the AIRCOOLED portion. Now this doesn't change the over-all point of the video, however, what it does it change how much of a difference it makes. Point-in-case, when he turns on the pump, it starts dissipating the heat with the radiator. Meaning that the liquid had already gotten heat-soaked and was pulling off the block and down the tubing. This probably only reduced the heat by 5C max but would still be enough to prevent it from hitting the thermal limits that Jay was expecting. For those that are thinking that it's just "trapping" the heat there, you've forgotten that it's traveling down the line, to the reservoir, and also to the radiator. All of those points allow heat to dissipate into the air, with the radiator still passively dissipating regardless if the fluid is moving. I know he's probably just trying to save time but this also ruins the testing that he did stated he was trying to keep "apples-to-apples".

NHD-15 has a hell of a lot of weight on the motherboard, and AIO's liek the Thermaltake 360mm out do it, as well as others. Sure they are only about 5-8 degrees cooler but that is still 5-8 degrees for much less weight. The NHD-15 is a winner when it comes to price and performance usually. But there are some 180mm AIO's that are actually only 30-40 more than the NHD-15 so, as prices for AIO's get cheaper and cheaper... The argument for the NHD-15 is only down to one thing. The fact it cools the VRM's too. Otherwise, there's not too much point going air over AIO other than longevity.
@towldllr48546 жыл бұрын
The "new" D15 will perform better than the current D15, and the current D15 outperforms most 240mm AIOs. I personally believe that the noctua is the easier to install, and if RAM clearance is not an issue, I believe air is the better option.

Pedro Romano there is no way a nhd15 is going to outperform the best custom loops. If you cooled a 1080ti and a high end processor with 3x360 rads like many cases now support it will perform better than any air cooler.
@ErgonomicChair6 жыл бұрын
Weight is actually, very much, an issue. Snapped MOBO's being shipped with NHD-15's is still very much real and alive. If you are moving a case with an NHD-15 attached... I recommend you carry it flat, because any jarring etc, that's about six kilograms on the PCB and PCB's can be very thin especially if you are buying low to mid range MOBO's. If it's just plugged in and you have properly used the bracket and all your mounting screws, should be fine while stationary... Except some weaker PCB's will actually still bend that is just a fact. But moving a PC with an NHD-15 is in fact not the safest thing in the world. Even then, custom loops can have considerable gains over AIO's and NHD-15's, strong enough pumps can drop the temperatures drastically even in long term play. The only thing is the NHD-15 will return to idle temps faster when done. Also, again, the NHD will cool your VRM's which is a huge benefit, but you can set your case up to deal with that.

I have to correct something you said there at 11:35. The rate of heat dissipation will not make a room hotter if he device creating the heat does not create more heat. All you will do is make the device cooler as it will not produce more heat to compensate for the rate of cooling. On the contrary electrical devices produce less heat when they are kept cooler. The electrical traces and wires have a lower resistance at lower temperatures and thus will put off less heat. Back before CPUs had thermal safeguards and speed stepping there was a well known term called thermal runaway. This is a condition where a change of temperature creates a circumstance that generates more heat. This eventually overwhelms your cooling solution and the only way to stop it was to power down until it cooled off.

@JayzTwoCents This is not a very scientific way to test this at all. When you tested the air cooling alone, the GPU is only being cooled by the heatsink. However, when you test the water cooling, you're still getting help from the heatsink that's attached to the GPU. Basically you tested air cooling vs air cooling + water cooling. No, the fans aren't running, but it is still being passively cooled by the heatsink. The only true way to test this is to for instance test a Strix card with the Strix cooler, and then remove the heatsink and put a water block on it and test it that way too.
