5000W chiller - 380W heat = heat, not cold. I don't get it:marseybrainlet:

I guess the water block is just too small or what?

The IHS attaching the actual metal plate of the cpu to the cpu packages has poor thermal conductivity

They've had this problem before, people were redoing thermal paste on. The actual inside of the face plate of the cpu and drop 10+ c off Temps I think Intel 2xxx series

All the way up until 9000 series when they introduced soldered IHS instead of paste.

The newer issues are different, the actual cores are so small it's hard to extract the heat from such a small area. Latest AMD chips are also running at like 90 degrees even on decent air/basic liquid coolers. I also suspect that the cold plate they're using in the video is not ideal for the chiller either.

That's somehow even funnier, amd and Intel cpus failing by their own hubris

Did no engineers stop and say that to anyone when making these things?

I mean they can't, really. Shrinking is the best way to get the most performance for the least amount of money, and extracting heat from small area is just technology and physics limitation.

FWIW you can essentially get 95% of performance for 2/3 of the heat and power consumption by just limiting the wattage in BIOS, they run them inefficiently to get last few % of performance so their products look better in benchmarks.

When will we just pivot to dumping computers into a fishtank of dielectric coolant?

I mean I'm sure they do, but they probably have no other way forward for the time being.

Like they're competing, they have deadlines lol. look at nvidia and the absurdity they've engaged in while trying to keep an edge.

at least AMD is actually trying to address the power usage issue for GPUs.

They're literally less efficient than Nvidia. Nvidia is just overstating their power consumption and AMD is riding the limit or even lying in case of CPU's.

As far as I've seen, when looking at the 4090 (which is the only nvidia card worth buying) the power consumption is a lot higher than anything amd is offering.

CPUs I have no idea, I don't follow CPU stuff I'm just aware of the power usage issues for new CPUs across the board.

Ivy bridge (3-series). It was the first generation when they switched from solder to thermal paste.

This is the problem these days with LTT. They half butt these things and its purely entertainment, nothing to be gained from this channel these days about actual product reviews.

Its weird as he has at least two MEs on staff that could have done the math to figure out what is going on.
