Cue the confetti and cheers as he revels in this well-deserved "I told you so" moment!

I've been saying this for YEARS and I can finally PROVE IT! Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 I'm finally getting to do something that I've always wanted to do this is the video I have always wanted to make but didn't really have the ability to really do it or capture it properly but now I do today we are finally going to show the exact correlation of ambient temperature to your systems temperature and if what I have been preaching the entire time is correct we should see this temperature of the system go up linearly with the temperature
• 00:30 - 01:00 of the ambient the ambient temperature bad so for instance if I make it 10° C warmer in that room we should see 10c Celsius warmer and our Max temperatures in this in the system so let's hope this is one of those like see I told you and not well sh kind of moments the XG 2736 and the XG 2536 gaming monitors from vonic feature 240 HZ default refresh rates 1 millisecond
• 01:00 - 01:30 response time mode and Industry leading 0.5 millisecond moving picture response time modes that are ideal for gamers demanding a Competitive Edge designed with Esports in mind these XG monitors feature fully adjustable and lowprofile footprint stand for optimal viewing distance that professional Gamers demand to learn more about the XG 27361 1440p and XG 2536 1080p Competitive Gaming panels for vsonic follow the link in the description below I'll be honest I don't even know why I'm putting it in a case oh yes I do because this is going to be my test mule because
• 01:30 - 02:00 because one of the other things I've done is I got my um decel meter it arrived not using it today though that's something else I'm going to need to be able to like I'm going to play around with and and get my testing methodology set up right because I don't have a Hemi anic chamber however you pronounce it I don't I don't have a ano anaco I don't have a I don't have a pointy foam drive you crazy room but what I do have is I do have this room here which is actually pretty noise isolated um and I do have a separate
• 02:00 - 02:30 tripod and I do have foam and all that that I can set the PC on so that I can at least noise normalize as best as I can without it being quote unquote you know scientifically calibrated and then what I'm going to do is I'll be able to put them in the uh temperature controlled room where I can then keep the temperatures consistent when we're doing case testing so this is going to be the first case that I'm really sort of testing uh this is the lanol 216 I sort of just grabbed it so I could put these parts in there um so yeah should
• 02:30 - 03:00 be should be fun but I got to get the system in here this this is the hardware I'm using for our case tests case tests need to have the same Hardware used every single time like even the the mount for the the cooler being unmount dismounted and remounted can have a 1 to two seed change in temperature so I'm using kpx thermal paste on here this is the noctua uh D16 I think it's a D16 slim or D d16s I think it is um I also
• 03:00 - 03:30 added a 120 be quiet fan to the front cuz it does just have a middle fan that's designed to pull air through and push I added a 120 to the front got the same drive this is a z790 UD series from gigabyte uh it's got a 13900 K in there I went with a CPU that can generate heat 253 watts should be enough heat that's that's why I didn't go with the AMD system cuz I figure we need to truly like kind of generate some heat and I'm using an RTX 390 EVGA 390 that way it can live on doing things right it no
• 03:30 - 04:00 longer just passes the butter it's actually going to be doing something so as long as the hardware stays exactly the same in every single test then that's that's that's that's how we get our AB comparison and that's the other thing too is like I needed to pick Hardware that is like relevant but not old enough to where it's going to become irrelevant and have to change it in the future cuz this the thing the second the hardware changes every test before that is no void and I don't want to have to go through it a million times and redo it all 100 times
• 04:00 - 04:30 so anyway let me get this stuff all in here and then uh I'll get to use my elmor's lab or Elmore Labs it's Elmore Labs not El elmor's Labs Elmore Labs um the K type meter and his logging software so that'll be fun so this test that I'm doing today has nothing to do with the case like I said I'm only putting this stuff in here CU this is the the case I'm going to use to sort of figure out my methodology but side panels open
• 04:30 - 05:00 top panels off I want to remove the case as being any sort of a factor in our testing so the only thing we want impacting performance not NE performance but the temperatures that are shown is the ambient temperature in the room so for this test I've set everything to full speed in the bios for the fans this is not 40 DB normalized this is much higher than that but uh because we wanted to exchange air with the environment as fast as possible the the temperatures will be the same it'll just take longer if the fans are going slower so we want to make sure that uh we can
• 05:00 - 05:30 make this exchange happen quickly okay so I got the elm more lab kth uh right here plugged plugged into USB to the system we have the coupler right here right in the airflow of the fan that's pulling an ambient temperature so that will be measuring our ambient temperature in the room um here's the software right here as you can see it's currently at 22.4c 22.3 it's very very sensitive very accurate cool thing is we can actually have this integrate with Hardware info there is right there m more Labs t uh tc1 we have one temp and
• 05:30 - 06:00 now it's logging that temperature so that is awesome because now I can just have one log file that will be rhythmically in sync with the temperature changes as we're talking about so the load that we're going to be using is for GPU also right now um we're doing GPU tests it doesn't matter if it's CPU or GPU um the ambient correlation is going to be the same for GPU or CPU but the GPU is the hotter part um I think it's going to give me the more consistent load cuz what I can actually do is I can actually load uh one of the GPU tests and I can leave it
• 06:00 - 06:30 static I can find a scene lock it at that scene so it's just rendering that one scene over and over and over so the FPS stays consistent temperature stays consistent but we're going to also have those fans set to 100% power limit maxed out I don't want any fluctuations in the GPU hitting any sort of Headroom that's not temperature related causing us to have what looks like temperature changes or fluctuations but that could be power changes because of um if it's going right to its power limit and it starts dipping I don't want that to look like that's affected because of the temperature although the only sensor I truly care in there is The Hot Spot and
• 06:30 - 07:00 The Edge temp temperatures cuz we're going to compare those to what the kth is saying the ambient temperature is I want to make sure that none of the cold air directly from the AC unit is blowing directly on this cuz that could affect it so if you watch this this is swinging up and down yeah I'm going to have it locked up this is why we're doing this today we're sort of testing to see what happens while also trying to prove something cuz obviously the air temp coming out of here is going to be colder than the total temperature in here because we do have heat sources in here we have the server we have the data rack
• 07:00 - 07:30 we have the computer itself we have our bodies lights so we need to make sure the cold air from this hitting that isn't giving us some skewed readings so we are going to use heaven for this test for one main reason one I have to log into the internet to use it and then I can pause that test in one spot so when we leave the room we need to let it reach equilibrium I'm going to give it about 10 minutes reach equilibrium then I will come in here and I will actually start raising the temperature um by just raising the temp so it stops blowing cold and then I'll probably even turn on the heater start
• 07:30 - 08:00 adding some some heat making it as if it were like summertime right your windows are open or whatever it's hot in your gaming room you've been gaming so we'll see cuz this will not make enough heat to heat up this room very quickly if it all went well we're going to come back with some charts and see whether or not it's I Told You So or a Jay's an idiot okay so after a bunch of trial and error and then having the computer restart on me once which we're not entirely sure why we went back into the test room we were like why is it back at the desktop anyway that's besides the point finally got some good runs got several
• 08:00 - 08:30 um good runs and then this is the one I'm using we actually did about an hour long test here so the orange line as you can see in the bottom that is ambient temperature let's start let's talk about the beginning part first where it looks like it's kind of a wave it's going up and down a bunch uh remember we are dealing with an HVAC this is a wall mounted mini split industrial mini split so when I had the temp set that low um what's happening is you're here you're seeing it kind of like click on click off click on click off click on right cuz it's got a set point and it's not going to just run continuously it can pull the temperature in that room down
• 08:30 - 09:00 to the 61° that we set it to um and so that's why you see it bob up and down cuz it comes up a couple degrees triggers the compressor turns on cools it down so that's why it's going up and down about realistically it's like 1 and 1/2 C is what you're seeing there so the average temperature during that buoy bobbing up and down part of the temperature right there is 16.4 de uh Celsius GPU was chilling at about 56° for that test one thing I want to point out is I did lock the screen so what I mean is the test was not running
• 09:00 - 09:30 the loop that has variations in it it was the same frame being rendered this entire time so you can tell when I actually clicked on um the well actually I didn't click on the heater I raised the temperature of the air conditioner so that's why you can see it sort of like initially kind of jumps up and then it starts to taper up what you're actually seeing right there is the amount of effect that the heat that the components in that room uh the or the heat sources in that room are starting to warm up the room now when you see it
• 09:30 - 10:00 start to spike up kind of violently right there is actually when I clicked on the heater because I wanted to see what would happen if I add heat to the room that's not from the component for for in this instance would be the computer and the other he generating sources in there so this would be like it's a cloudy day suddenly the Sun comes out you don't have insulation in your room or your your house and it starts to warm up really fast this is how the ambient temperature affects your components um and then you can see it starts to dip down again that's basically where I just set the temperature on the heater uh to be less
• 10:00 - 10:30 high so I I was no longer set actually when it spiked really high I set it to 86° F that's where that spike is because that's as high as that heater will go and then I set it back down to oh I don't know uh I think it was about 80° that's why it dips down a little bit and the reason why it dips down even though there's no air conditioner on is because of the fact that the amount of heat that was being pumped in there was still not enough heat to cool off or warm up the entire room and maintain that temperature because the area outside of
• 10:30 - 11:00 that room is colder than we made it in that room so it's the reverse effect right so a lot of the heat that we were creating is actually leaving the room rather than going to the room cuz remember heat travels to cold not the other way around then you'll see the spike again where I got it as hot as we got in this entire test which is where I let it get all the way up to 86° F let it kind of get there and then I turn the air conditioner back on which is why it started coming down pretty violently and very quickly let's talk about the temperature differences though cuz that was the whole point of this video and yeah it looked all crazy because I was
• 11:00 - 11:30 testing how fast the room will sort of respond to temperature changes I tell it to do so this video isn't just about hey when I say things move basically linearly one to one with ambient temperature um whether you're water cooled air cooled doesn't matter I was also testing my environment to see how it responds to the temperature changes I ask it to create so that's why this chart's all over the place so if we take the 31° ambient and the 69° GPU Temp and compare it to the earlier 16.4 de ambient and 56 de GPU temperatures that
• 11:30 - 12:00 is a difference of 1.6 C variance between those two points with the coldest and the hottest so what does that mean it it means it moves pretty much linear exactly as I said I said it's like within 1 C it's just over that but to be honest our measurement materials are probably not quite as precise to get to that degree of of granular accuracy but I'll take this because this this does show not only visually but also with the numbers that it is absolutely true that you can never
• 12:00 - 12:30 get better cooling if your environment sucks now the difference the temperature is above ambient is the only thing you have control of so for instance water cooling would get that GPU closer to ambient but that that that chart would look the same on the same curve it would just be closer to the ambient temperature but what you might find is that ambient temperature starts to actually like I showed you I had it set to 86° Fahrenheit and it went to almost
• 12:30 - 13:00 88° fah just in that short amount of time because of the fact that the extra heat being put into the room by the computer and stuff will affect the ambient temperature it's not just a heat pump putting heat into the room it's also the electrical components putting heat into the room so this was a fun test it allowed me to really sort of use that room for what I intended it for to to have some temperature controlled areas which is important for me I'm I'm still need to play around with the thermostat so I can figure out um well the nice thing is I'm using the same components every single time I'm using the exact name components the stuff in
• 13:00 - 13:30 there is not changing the only thing that could potentially change would be the outside environment but fortunately if it's hotter outside I can still have my set point in there to where it needs to be and it will still hold the temp where where it is or where I set it so yeah I'm looking forward to being able to start doing some some case testing and I'm going to start with the lancool 216 even though it's an older case just just for me to get my testing and data point sort of set and get my my standard standard operating procedures or my sop um sort of figured out so I can have a checklist to go through and make sure
• 13:30 - 14:00 we're doing it consistently every single time but more importantly I can finally say I was right not always right in fact I'm wrong quite a bit but when I am right you damn well better believe I expect some [Music] Fanfare Phil you better put some confetti and some yay on the screen or something you're freaking fired no longer freaking F you're freaking fired probably shouldn't have said that on camera
