  • Does a colder CPU get more performance with the same clock speed? It turns out that testing this may be more difficult than it first appears...

    Being cooler doesn't inherently make it faster however it does allow for much higher overclocks which is kinda better performance.

      CPU overclocking raises speed -> higher clocks mean more heat -> too much heat means crashing PC, even possibly hardware failure
      So do you want to cool it down? Fuck yes.

    Lower CPU Temp° will reduce or eliminate stuttering during games, as the CPU will start to throttle and reduces its running performance when it's "too hot" to prevent damaging itself.

  • @dgillies5420
    @dgillies5420 8 лет назад +24

    There exist speed-indepent CPUs that don't use a clock and run as fast as the circuitry allows. The first partially speed-independent CPU was the ILLIAC II computer from 1963 (see wikipedia for details). They use an unusual logic block called the Muller C-element, invented by our next door neighbor, David Muller from Urbana, Illinois. With that type of computer, indeed, YES, cooling down the circuitry would make the cpu run substantially faster.

    • @dgillies5420
      @dgillies5420 8 лет назад

      Ivan Sutherland - one of the fathers of computer graphics - from Caltech is a big proponent of speed independent circuitry ( www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/Computing_Without_Clocks.pdf ). However, many people find it totally strange and non-intuitive to design with speed independent component blocks such as the Muller C-element. So, kind of like GaAs VLSI (vs. Silicon VLSI) nobody does it because it's harder to do than conventional clock-based circuitry with gating of results.

    • @yussef961
      @yussef961 7 лет назад

      Donald Gillies excellent thanks i didn't know that at all will look for it. why didn't they design cpu for micro computers like these?

    • @dgillies5420
      @dgillies5420 7 лет назад +1

      Again, many people find it totally strange and non-intuitive to design with speed independent component blocks such as the Muller C-element. With regular clocks you can think of all the signals at waiting at a series of physical gates and when the clock cycles the gate opens, the signal goes through to the next gate(s).
      I don't know the exact difficulty with the C-Element because I have never designed logic to use it (my dad and his colleagues including Muller did, though) : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-element.
      With regular clocked computers you can just shorten the clock cycle until it fails, then you know the maximum speed of the computer and the exact speed of every instruction. With a C-element computer different instructions might run at radically different speeds, even if the circuits were from the same batch :-) and it would be very hard to say precisely "how fast is this computer" because it would depend upon what it is doing and whether you got a good one or a bad one from the VLSI oven(s) :-)

    • @yussef961
      @yussef961 7 лет назад

      yes fascinating i didnt know these kind of computers at all... for me it's a bit similar to overclocking yr cpu as musch as you can and it depends on the batch, some will go faster than others.... with reducing temperature etc you can try and make them as fast as they can

    Yes, but it's more like if your CPU is Hotter it will perform badly, but those statements are broad.
    So it's something like, if you are close to or above the suggested temp max, the cpu will run worse.

      Lower temperature does not = run longer. It's metal and simple conduction law to put it simply think about those massive power lines below land when's the last time they needed replacing they don't even need cooling and they're underground they get hotter than a cpu. Metal is a wonder material for conduction and sustainability. If you don't believe me and have a spare pc any decent cpu and new one run one without a fan and thermal paste and your new one with let me know if the older breaks. The whole point of cooling is safety as metal can take heat other parts can't and can catch fire so if anyone does do this keep an eye on the pc just in case but I doubt any harm will come.

    • @MrAbood900
      @MrAbood900 9 лет назад +10

      Andrew Crews the opposite happens, why do things become super conductors when they're super cooled? Because when an object is cold it has less kinetic energy so molecules move slower which allows electrons to move with less resistance when it's colder. (This could be completely incorrect, i just always thought of it that way)

    • @theformidablerabbit
      @theformidablerabbit 9 лет назад +21

      Andrew Crews That's true for molecules in ideal gasses, but in metallic solids, cooling down actually reduces the vibrations of the metallic atoms, meaning they're less likely to get in the way of the free electrons, meaning the electrons can travel faster. What determines the speed of the electrons themselves is the voltage applied to the circuit, so, cooling down and applying a higher voltage (as you would do when overclocking) would speed up the computations.

    • @sauron1427
      @sauron1427 9 лет назад

      Jimmy M that works with things that have a mass. Try with electrons.

    • @jbuzkill2
      @jbuzkill2 9 лет назад +1

      MrAbood900 That is indeed true for metals, however semiconductors such as silicon act differently.
      When an intrinsic semiconductor is heated, electrons in the lattice structure are 'shaken free' this causes a positive charge in the lattice.
      Therefore when an electric field (emf source) is applied there is a overall a greater conventional current.

      Even better, wait a few days then google the KB's to see if Microsoft botched another update and don't install it if so.

    Lower temps should make the CPU more power efficient. That is, it should draw less power under the same workload when cooled substantially.
    Should have tested that while you had the chance, Linus!
    Otherwise, great video.

  • @XavierBetoN
    @XavierBetoN 8 лет назад +1

    Engineeringly speaking, Stock speeds are calculated by the desired ambient temperature's range. (usually it's 0-45C degrees)
    So if you overclock your PC you are altering the stock values. It's all connected. So if we skip the boring calculations, you'll get something like -10 to 35C degrees ambient temps required for that rig.
    Hope it explained something about how temperature impacts stability, thus performance(@ OC)

    I don't know if it has been mentioned yet, but when it comes to Haswell chipsets (and yes, I am talking about the server market here) temperature can have an effect on speeds, particularly when it comes to AVX 2.0 code. On a base 2.4ghz proc (2630v3) it can turbo up to speeds in the range of 3.2ghz, with AVX speeds ranging from 2.1 to 3.2ghz. However, as the CPU heats up those speeds will drop down to the lower range.

    Resistance decreases with increase in temperature for a semiconductor device (due to increase in dopant electron concentration). So if you cool a processor a lot you might get lower performance. Its better to cool the processor just enough to avoid the thermal throttling and maybe a small margin to help life time of processor. If you want to super cool a processor try going for much higher clocks and voltages. Running phase cooling on stock clocked processor will give you lesser scores.

      Actually, the lifespan of a transistor being heated or overvolted drops down quite a lot.. but if you drop 80% of 100year like you still get 20years out of it.. and by that time it will be obsolete.. so no, i don't mind much the life usage of a cpu or ram, or a motherboard or even a GPU (yet gpu's are notoriously hot with frequent 100degrees spikes and the FC bumps inside the chip may get moved, and the robustness of a gpu soldered to a pcb is a joke compared to a MB and LGA/PGA/zif's for cpu sockets... the gpu fails at the fc-bumps not at transistor level wear. Same for a MB.. it goes bad with bulging caps rather than transitor wear in NB/SB/etc.
      Short answer.. as long as you don't overheat (keep it under 60-70) the lifespan should be plenty left for any user (including the future collectors that expect it to run decades in future)

    11:19 exactly what happened to me when I removed the stock cooler from the FX6300 in the work PC last week, got even scarier when I put in the new cooler and it wouldn't post, fortunately yanking it back apart again and reseating the CPU got it up and running. Also while making it colder doesn't make it run better just from doing so (UNLESS it's running hot enough to thermal throttle) it does allow for the HEADROOM required to Overclock to perform better.

    Theoretically, a CPU should be SLOWER when under low temperatures, as it is a semiconductor. Metals however WILL have higher conductivity and lower resistance at low temperatures. However a lower temperature allows for higher clock speeds which means it would be FASTER.

  • @dfelo93

    from my experience i can say it prevents the pc from thermal throttling, which will not make it run faster but will not let it run slower because of the high temps or the poor ventilation conditions.

  • @InTimeTraveller
    @InTimeTraveller 8 лет назад

    Technically, parts of the CPU do run faster just by being cooler. For example the drain current of a typical planar MOSFET transistor at 90nm increases when the temperature drops significantly (especially at this gradient here, from 80C to minus a lot). There are two main physical parameters that get affected by temperature which work in opposing ways: a) carrier mobility (electron speed (or hole if we talk about PMOS)) does indeed decrease which tends to decrease the drain current (hence the "speed" of the transistor) and b) the threshold voltage drops when the temperature drops so that will increase the drain current (hence the "speed"). The end result depends on a lot of things (like process, voltage, temperature, dimension, etc.) but suffice it to say that even on a circuit level the effect is small in normal voltages. So this effect is unlikely to translate to any significant way at system wide level on such a complicated level as a pc (which has literally hundreds of other things affecting the performance). Source: I kinda did my thesis on that, but I can also provide you with actual sources from books if anyone's interested.

  • @PeteBasel
    @PeteBasel 8 лет назад

    I worked in CMOS ASIC design for many years and a characteristic of the technology is that the cooler you make it the faster it goes. What this means is that you can overclock it more when it is colder, not that it will magically provide more performance at the same clock speed. I don't know the details of what Intel might do to internally down clock the CPU when excess temperature is detected but certainly if you used something like Throttle Stop to keep them at full speed then there should be absolutely no difference at the same clock speed.
    Every design has a critical path that determines the maximum clock rate and we use gate level simulation to determine the worst case clock rate or propagation delay over the PVT of the design. P is process variation due to the semiconductor fabrication variances, V is power supply voltage often +/-10% at the board level, and T is junction temperature on the die.
    Super Computers of the early 1980s were built in bipolar ECL logic, and CMOS was considered a slow technology in those days. A company, ETA, produced a liquid nitrogen (-196.15 °C) cooled CMOS super computer in the mid 1980s with a goal of a 10 ns (100 MHz) cycle time, they were able to do 7 ns or 143 MHz.

  • @chrisg8142
    @chrisg8142 9 лет назад

    Cooling a CPU down will make it faster by a tiny, tiny bit. Because the silicon and metal inside the processor become less resistant for electrons to pass through when cooled down (superconductors are a good example) so it is easier for electric signals to pass through which increases the overall speed of the chip.

    @colin1235421 7 лет назад +1

    You may get better performance if you actually have a cooling problem (since the CPU will slow itself down if it gets too hot). My PC upper case exhaust fan currently blows out air up to 10 degrees celcius warmer than room temperature after gaming for 30 minutes to an hour... That means the CPU and GPU fan is blowing 10+ degrees celcius hotter air onto the components.

  • @nochannel1000
    @nochannel1000 8 лет назад

    The short answer is: NO, if you are asking whether it would increase the performance by lowering the temp below normal ranges.
    The long answer is: YES. Because there are temperature control mechanism in your PC that will either slow down or shut down your CPU if it is overheating so you still need a decent cooling mechanism. This is especially true if you are overclocking. No cooler = no overclocking = slower performance. So overall, temperature plays a big role.

    A friend of mine used to deal with a giant computer with a 286 in it. he noticed that its clock was starting to run about 5 minutes faster than the previous day no matter how many times it was reset. it turned out that the heat sink fans had died, and the processor was overheating, with new fans on, the processor was cooler, and the clock problems went away. which implies that a higher temp should make you CPU run faster. of course this all seems a bit odd, but it is a possibility.
