In this video, I review the Asus TUF Gaming LC 2 360 ARGB AIO. I use the Intel 14900K to test the cooling capabilities of this CPU Liquid cooler.
***PLEASE READ***
I did not clarify this in the video but I changed one setting in the bios per the reviewers guide. I changed Asus Multicore Enhancement to “Disabled - Enforce All limits”. Then I tested. The Cinebench, XTU, OCCT, and gaming tests are all using this setting until the end when I use AI OC. Intels website lists the 14900K Max Turbo Power as 253 watts. This bios setting ensures we don’t exceed 253 watts which is why the temperature is at 92c. This doesn’t impact the gaming performance as we don’t come close to 253 watts in gaming. But it does skew the synthetic benchmarks. My apologies about that. When I enabled AI OC, this 253 watt limit was lifted/exceeded and then we see Cinebench peak at 100c towards the end of the video. So it depends if you want to exceed 253 watts or not.
If you want to exceed it, then this setting isn’t for you and your synthetic tests will be hotter than 92c. If you don’t want to exceed 253 watts, then this setting is perfect for you and your synthetic tests should be around 92c. The data is accurate but the context in which the data is framed is inaccurate. My apologies on that. I’ve pinned this statement as a comment on the video. I’ve published it here in this discord. I’ve added this statement to the description of the video as well. I’ve clarified it as much as I can. Please let me know if I need to do something more. I appreciate the continued support. Thank you 🙏
