Top selection of free performance tests.
I just set up a new system and shared the build link here. The Cinebench scores came back at 147 on GPU and 828 on CPU. I’m planning to run more tests to get a clearer picture of overall performance, especially since I won’t be updating or building another system soon. I’m avoiding benchmarks focused on gaming and instead want insights into how my hardware handles video editing tasks.
Video editing requires significant processing power. Cinebench handles this well. Your GPU is best suited for previews and certain effects, but if you're working on games, the Valey/Heaven benchmark shows 1950 CPU usage—your CPU should handle it fine. I verified your link and it's a strong score for that cooler. Make sure you haven't overclocked it with the standard heatsink. If budget is tight, even an h212 EVO will perform well.
Jesus, 1950 haha. Also, do you know how to move Adobe Creative Cloud to another drive so that After Effects and Premiere are installed there? I just need it on my SSD.
The setup uses two CPUs, resulting in a total of 975 cores across six cores per CPU. Begin installing the required components (Ae and Pr) in their default directory. Once completed, launch the installer and move the direct installation folder to your HDD. It functions similarly to any other standard installer.
The temperature on the heatsink was only that low since I was mainly playing Chivalry, the most intense game currently installed. My system reached up to 79°C, but it usually stayed between 68-72°C while in Chivalry. I intend to use an H100i cooler. I was considering air cooling, but I really don’t want to remove the motherboard again. EDIT: I’m planning to add two fans from my CM HAF912 case into the 750D; I just need to decide their placement.
I believe you're looking for guidance, though it varies by manufacturer. I own a 1366 board that requires a backplate, but EVGA has been willing to fabricate one. Usually, after adjusting thermal paste or replacing the cooler, the system won't power on—often due to damaged copper traces. These should handle minor stress, but recently some companies have cut costs on protective coatings. Be extra cautious during installation. The backplate typically comes with the cooler for all supported connectors and fits easily.
I thought about choosing the Noctua UD-12 for air cooling, but I’m leaning toward pushing my CPU more and considering liquid cooling instead.
The variation could reach around 300mhz or more. On air it's likely you'll get about 4.5, possibly higher. With an AIO it should be near 4.7. Custom loops with strong overclocking skills might hit ~5. So the Nh D14 remains the best value compared to price after H212. Water and AIO are mainly for appearance and slight performance gains.
