well it's time I'm switching back to Intel
now don't get me wrong our entire rising experience we've done
so much content around it has been incredible and the amount of time
savings we received using the eight core sixteen thread 1700X monster has been
immense in comparison to what I was using in the past with Intel but I think
it's time to switch back to Intel see how those guys is doing in terms of
stability in particular for Adobe Premiere and that entire suite of
applications because the latest Adobe suite updates don't work for my machine
everything is crashing I have to revert the drivers I have to revert the
programs and it just seems like there's this misalignment between Adobe and AMD
Ryzen and that does not work well with me and just to make sure I'm not making
a huge mistake by switching to an 8600K which is only a 6 core 6 thread part
I've run some gaming benchmarks alongside with the rendering performance
just to see if I'll be gaining anything in performance with the Intel side of
things I'm not really looking for performance improvements because right
now rendering is pretty good anyway but I'm mainly looking for improvements in
stability so let's do the system swap right after this
what is that the view 31 you should put a ring on it
yes time to make it hard to be official
there will take ring high static pressure fans because your case deserves
a ring full details in the description below so this switch back to Intel is
not permanent I just want to see if those issues also exist on an Intel
platform or I'm just being super unlucky with my machine here so inside I have a
1700X at 3.8 gigahertz I cannot push that any further i have a gtx 1080 and
then vme SSD nothing is eber is also having issues with his adobe
applications so it seems like it's a platform specific issue and not
necessarily component issue this also gives me the perfect opportunity to
create my black and white system inside the PC o 11 dynamic using the white and
7 motherboard from NZXT with the kraken X 72 and I'll put in some RGB fans on
here so that it's like you know going back to the illumination days from
something that was air cooled or something that has an all-in-one and RGB
should be fun
so usually this part of like actually installing the motherboard inside the
case is never a concern until now so I've stumbled upon the frustrating
hiccup because of this white shroud it's a bit unconventional it requires these
long screws for mounting otherwise you can't fit a normal screw in there but
the threading on the screw is different from the threading on the motherboard
standoffs here so I had to take out some Malamud stand offs from the h200 encase
put them inside the Lindley case so it can actually mount this motherboard and
you would think that this would be standardized across all cases in terms
of what type of thread the screw and the motherwort standoffs use but as you can
see here apparently that is not the case
man so it's been a frustrating couple of hours as you can see by the state of
this office so I finally was able to boot into Windows with this system but
not without its challenges because of this motherboard so the reason why I
have all these NVIDIA GPUs out on the table here is because I'm only able to
boot with an AMD card into the windows because for some reason the motherboard
would not detect the signal from an Nvidia card but the text set from an AMD
just fine which is also why I have this riser cable because I was actually able
to bypass some sort of bias thing with this riser cable using an Nvidia card to
actually get into Windows but right now we're back to an AMD card because I have
to access the BIOS in order to overclock some memory and CPU which I cannot do
with an nvidia card so yeah this has been fun
alright so let me get this clear for you I use an AMD card to get into the bias
of the n7 motherboard to overclock the memory to XMP profile and the CPU to
four point nine gigahertz I still cannot go beyond four point nine
because then it will not boot whereas with this ITX motherboard from Asus five
gigahertz in five minutes no problems whatsoever so now we're back on my
machine and video card inserted right now so I can resume my tests but still
wow I was not expecting this experience to be all over the place and quite
frustrating - it is kind of ironic - if you think about it of me wanting to
switch to Intel because of extra stability
yet we have all this instability instead damn you and seven
yeah I don't think it's stable Wow believe it or not after some 20 hours of
troubleshooting with NZXT trying multiple graphics card multiple riser
cables multiple configurations and the BIOS I finally figured out what was
causing the issue and it was the monitor so this 4k freezing display would not do
it with an Nvidia graphics card but once I populate this g-sync panel I'm here
from Acer everything boots just fine no issues I can get into the BIOS without
needing to plug in aim the GPU first so that is awesome
however I still cannot achieve my 5 gigahertz overclock the system is not
stable with this motherboard I am doing some benchmarks right now to see what
performance we get at 4.8 but the asus prime z 370 a saves the day so this is
also a black-and-white color theme so that fits perfectly and this white
actually matches the case much better instead of this eggshell white that we
see on the n7 this one we have more aluminum that matches the graphics card
so color scheme here works out perfectly well and i've had nothing but fantastic
results with overclocking on asus boards so i'm actually quite excited to
populate the chip and here do the quick system swap so I can finally resume my
work aka edit this video
it's actually a good thing I did not do cable management easy-peasy
and now I have to repopulate all the original standoffs inside this case
which is a bit inconvenient I wish that these things were standardized across
all cases across all motherboards
I am very much out of thermal paste
catch
I am pretty confident and hopeful that this will work come on they sous work
with me here I'm such a noob forgot the front eh oh hello forgot to switch on
the power supply beautiful and all right moment of truth but the question is will
shit boot with an LG display something that I was not able to achieve on the n7
motherboard strangely Oh BAM that is how you do it a soos or NZXT and so the
first order of business is making sure that the system looks beautiful with the
illumination so both the GPU the kraken and the motherboard area all have this
purple illumination that looks beautiful inside the white enclosure I mean I
haven't even done any cable measures so right now all my SSDs are just hanging
out over here you know this is this whole thing is just a mess but five
gigahertz is achieved in five minutes I just had to tinker with some memory
stuff but yeah everything going well with this asus board whoo so after all
that trouble was the switch actually worth it so for 1080p gaming games like
overwatch Assassin's Creed origins and which are three for example don't really
see a significant boost in performance for averages and minimums however Far
Cry 5 and bf1 definitely see that substantial increase in frame rates with
the Intel chip and bumping up the resolution to 1440p the difference is
not as significant as 1080p results obviously because the GPU is more
important in this resolution so the frame rates are on both chips are pretty
acceptable and I game at 1440p anyway so the slight boost in frame rates is not
that significant but it's nice but then what's premieres performance like
because that's why I'm making this whole switch in the first place so back a few
months ago when I tested the 86 hundred K versus the 1700 X the Intel chip was
rendering the videos faster than Ryzen but since then it seems like Adobe have
upgraded their engine to utilize better cores and threads on horizon systems
because rendering 4k videos on my 1700X is faster
8600k at 5 gigahertz now this difference of 1% is not significant at
4k however if your output into 1080p the difference skyrockets to 24% of the 5
gigahertz 8600k vs. 3.8 of the 1700X and it
seems like those extra cores and threads on the Ryzen system really are utilized
when you output to 1080p with Adobe so just keep that in mind if you're
potentially thinking of getting arisin for content creation it's still a
fantastic value and performance the one thing we're into winds is warp
stabiliser something that they use quite often so you're about 20% faster and
stabilizing clips versus rising but numbers aside editing on an Intel
machine inside premiere is like night and day vs. risin so absolutely no
dropped frames when playing back original 4k footage with adjustment
layers and color presets applied something that I've never been able to
do on the rising machine because we start to drop frames as soon as the
playback starts to happen so you rely on using proxies to to like edit stuff and
now I can just preview original 4k pixel to pixel footage and not see a dropped
frame when so many layers are stacked on top of each other that is exactly what I
was looking for when I initially wanted to make the switch back to Intel and it
really makes me sad to date tries it because I feel like this platform has a
lot of potential especially with the Zen plus that just launched so you're seeing
about 10 to 20% extra rendering performance on like the new 2,000 chips
so make sure to check out our review over here but you know until we get that
you know that balance of stability and performance with highly used
applications like Adobe Suites you know people will gravitate towards Intel
because of that and by the way if you have not yet subscribed to the new
channel boot sequence consider doing so let's see what's on the news hey what's
up guys I'm your host snows and today in the news we've got YouTube cracking down
on MC NS Amazon trying to get into your car and some new rumors on the nvidia
gtx 1180 click down below to learn more
alright guys so I hope you enjoyed this little adventure coming along with me
and just seeing the whole process of how things have evolved throughout this
entire idea and I'm happy that everything is stable it looks beautiful
I love the purple I love the case but I do miss that air
cooler because going with them eh oh that is definitely louder alright guys
