Posted March 25, 2018 So I currently have a 6700k, and I'm aware that they run very hot. I'm trying to select parts for my next build that will run a bit cooler. While I do plan to grab a 1080ti, or the next card, I really want to invest in keeping it cooler, since my room is very small.. Any recommendations? I'm considering Ryzen for my next build, but that will depend on what comes out. I should also say I run an HP OMEN 25in monitor. 144hz.

Posted March 25, 2018 Author Well, I'm thinking more voerall heat output. My pc heats up my room too much.. so I'm starting there..

Posted March 25, 2018 when encoding my 1800x sits at 78c with long premiere encodes when it's overclocked to 4.1ghz on a 360 water cooled closed loop. Just giving you a baseline of what to expect.

Regardless of how cool you keep your components, its still going to pump just as much heat into your room. The only solution is to use lower wattage parts. i7-8700 at stock and a GTX 1060 would be a decent halfway point, thats only ~250w total compared to a GTX 1080 Ti which puts out 250w+ by itself.

I wanna minimize heat output since I have a small room, without giving up performance for my next build Undervolting both your CPU and GPU would be beneficial. Majestic has a nice guide on undervolting with GPU Boost 3.0 and MSI Afterburner you can find here. Your 1080 Ti will lose a bit in performance, although it'll be extremely marginal and seemingly within error. I haven't a clue why but messing with GPU Boost hurts performance, even if you're going for overclocks, I think it's talked about a bit in the thread. Your CPU should be easy in the sense that you just find the stock voltage (I dunno what it is for Skylake) and drop voltage until it becomes unstable in an AIDA stress test, in simplest terms. If you don't have a board you can control voltage with or are just feeling lazy, Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility can do it. I use XTU for laptops primarily but it will work on a desktop. At least for me, undervolting is the difference between throttling and not for my MSI GS63VR, so the benefits can be substantial. if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

Posted March 27, 2018 I second undervolting. Anything higher performing will just dump more heat into your room, and you can't really get around losing performance for a lower heat output unless you get lucky on undervolting (silicon lotto applies here too).

Posted March 27, 2018 If your concern is heating up your room, you need to be looking for components with low power consumption. The fewer watts you use, regaurdless of componenet temps, the less heat that is going to be put into your room. #science i9-9900k @ 5.1GHz || EVGA 3080 ti FTW3 EK Cooled || EVGA z390 Dark || G.Skill TridentZ 32gb 4000MHz C16 970 Pro 1tb || 860 Evo 2tb || BeQuiet Dark Base Pro 900 || EVGA P2 1200w || AOC Agon AG352UCG Cooled by: Heatkiller || Hardware Labs || Bitspower || Noctua || EKWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
