1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,839
for a long time now we've talked about how we're approaching the point where

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:10,559
you could buy a single computer and have two users enjoy it simultaneously but

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:14,719
some recent advancements notably the high core count third generation ryzen

4
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:19,760
processors from AMD have gotten us to the point where we think we're finally

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,720
ready to do it today we build the one pc

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:26,560
for you and your so and it's sponsored by sk

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:31,039
hynix their gold p31 series ssds are going to act as the high speed storage

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:35,920
we need to have two users simultaneously loading up heavy games at the same time

9
00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:42,280
which is the same as simultaneous you know what it doesn't matter let's just roll this thing simultaneous is the

10
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:42,280
theme today anyway

11
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:54,079
now normally we'd start by going through the hardware that we're using for the

12
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:59,440
build but today the star of the show is actually the

13
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:03,600
case this is the phanteks p600s and we've chosen it both for its ease of use

14
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:09,680
in terms of building but also for its ease of disassembly because

15
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:14,720
i've got something really fun today instead of just you know lame-o painting

16
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:19,759
with spray bombs we've actually leaned on our one and only ed zlayago our

17
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:25,600
production manager who brought in his own like hobbyist grade spray whatever

18
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:28,960
this is what is this it's a hvlp turbine sprayer

19
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:33,520
the advantage of having a sprayer versus a spray bomb is that you just have more

20
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:38,560
control you can adjust the nozzle the pressure so we're going to be using some

21
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:42,720
acrylic polyurethane enamel because it's pretty hard wearing it's a in a satin

22
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:48,399
finish so that it doesn't show off all the imperfections of my spray job i have

23
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,680
only sprayed a case twice yeah hopefully

24
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:52,880
this will be good that's a good rationale for a satin finish which

25
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,960
side's going to be blue and which side is going to be pink so the left side is

26
00:01:54,799 --> 00:02:01,119
going to be pink it's going to be split two tone so it's actually going to be

27
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:05,840
diagonally pink this way cool and then this right side is going to be blue the

28
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:09,840
whole panel here is going to be blue and on the inside

29
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,640
this part's going to be pink not the rest of that yeah we're not

30
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,640
doing the motherboard tray blue are we no no that's riveted in

31
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,840
yeah so it's not going to be too bad we're just going to have to mask this

32
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:24,319
off and just have paper or plastic to cover that up

33
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:28,959
that's going to look pretty sharp so because this is a hinge

34
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:33,760
side panel normally you would have to worry about

35
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:37,760
scratching the paint here and here if you're painting the inside because when

36
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:42,000
you slide on a panel you're doing a sliding mechanical motion and it's just

37
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:47,840
always going to scrape everything scuffing helps our primer coat adhere to

38
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:49,840
what is otherwise a very very glossy

39
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,120
shiny surface that's difficult for paint to adhere to this is actually pretty

40
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:56,800
good though okay you want it to not be glossy anymore

41
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,440
while i build up the bench to make sure the system's going to actually

42
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:05,360
work after we assemble it ed is masking off

43
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,840
our case so how good of a job of masking

44
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:11,920
do you uh you care about here suitably adequate is what i aim for we'll put

45
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:17,040
that on your performance review i've got the latest beta of unraid fired up on my

46
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:19,280
system 6.9 nice which means that i'm

47
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:24,720
ready to shut it down and get my two NVMe ssds installed the benefit for us

48
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:29,519
of going with NVMe storage is that we get low latency operation even when both

49
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:34,400
of our users are hitting our drives at the same time now there's a number of

50
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:37,599
ways that we can configure our two sk

51
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:39,680
hynix gold ssds here either we can have

52
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:43,599
both of them running independently and pass them through to our virtual

53
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:47,519
machines which is similar to how we're going to pass through CPU cores and our

54
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,360
graphics cards which are going to be installed on the pci express slots here

55
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:55,840
another way that we can do it is we can run them in raid 1 and then we can just

56
00:03:53,840 --> 00:04:00,720
have both of the vms running on this redundant raid 1 configuration so that

57
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:05,120
in the event that one of them were to fail or even that a slot failed on the

58
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:09,680
motherboard we would experience no data loss whatsoever the drawback of that

59
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:15,200
approach is that our two one terabyte drives would give us only one terabyte

60
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,199
of total usable capacity the last way

61
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:23,199
the way i'm leaning towards is we can run these two in raid zero for maximum

62
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:27,040
speed what do you think david yeah in the event that one fails all the data

63
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:30,240
is gone it's gaming it's gaming and honestly i'm not expecting that to

64
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:34,400
happen so we're going raid zero boys frog tape is one of those things that i

65
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:38,560
think is actually worth the extra money the lines you get are just so crisp

66
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:44,560
compared to the random masking tape that you can get for cheaper

67
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:48,880
yes it is okay free two terabytes so we are running in raid zero now i've got my

68
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:52,720
rtx 2080 super installed this is the one i want to pass through so that i can

69
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:56,400
actually game off of it but that presents some challenges because

70
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,680
this is kind of the primary GPU slot in the system where we've got most of the

71
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,479
pci express bandwidth i want my high performance card there but that means

72
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:08,400
this guy is not outputting my os so i've got a

73
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:11,520
remote into it which is fine it just

74
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,440
means that when i go to boot my vm

75
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:19,280
womp womp we've got to stub this fortunately this

76
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,520
is cool the beta has a new tool for

77
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:26,080
stubbing system devices so instead of typing a bunch of crap all you do is

78
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:34,479
find it click it bind select it to vi fio at boot and

79
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,400
theoretically you reboot and you're done

80
00:05:34,479 --> 00:05:41,520
my confidence level is not actually super high i can't have any stress with

81
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:46,560
water this cold lttstore.com i finally have progress

82
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:52,800
unfortunately i do have to have my pinner card in the top slot due to some

83
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,960
BIOS Linux funkery but oh boy

84
00:05:52,800 --> 00:06:00,320
i mean at least we're booted up with the 2080 super pass through a quick xml edit

85
00:05:57,919 --> 00:06:04,000
to our vm later we changed from CPU host model to CPU host passthrough

86
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:10,319
we're in we can expand that 30 gigs later

87
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:15,440
is that actually 10 water again not healthy you know that's kind

88
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:18,960
of like eating more because you've over salted your food like

89
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:21,199
did you have something helpful to say or now

90
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:28,319
wow that's actually really good i think two coats and that's nailed

91
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:33,520
i may have added too much water to the paint or i didn't mix it well enough

92
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:37,520
after i added the water because uh that's a bit thin and uneven could also

93
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:41,600
just be my painting after all the teasing add about

94
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:45,680
us running out of time it's actually me who's in more trouble than him at this

95
00:06:43,039 --> 00:06:50,240
point painting's looking great but i've tried sea BIOS i've tried changing

96
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:54,479
around the xml i cannot get the second vm to fire up here with the second

97
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:58,240
graphics card and talking to the unraid guys they're basically like yeah you

98
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:02,479
know we love AMD and there's members of our community that

99
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:08,160
are having great luck with AMD graphics you know with using GPU passthrough but

100
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:11,199
it is just not as polished compared to the experience on Intel so at this point

101
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:16,479
i'm going you know what i'm going to stop trying to put a square peg in a round hole because switching to Intel

102
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:21,360
who actually has think about it the highest core count

103
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:25,360
CPU with onboard graphics built into it means i don't have to have this anymore

104
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:30,400
i'm only giving up two CPU cores i've still got 10 cores so i can have a quad

105
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,840
core machine for each of my gamers and

106
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,199
it means that hopefully the virtualization experience is just going

107
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,880
to be simple and the benefits of the switch

108
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:42,400
kind of keep rolling here i found a board in our inventory that has a much

109
00:07:41,039 --> 00:07:46,560
more ideal layout so we're going to be left with this pci express slot and this

110
00:07:45,039 --> 00:07:49,120
one with our two graphics cards installed with more space in between

111
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:54,400
them um and because Intel is still using a

112
00:07:52,479 --> 00:07:59,280
monolithic design for their CPU course it means that we don't

113
00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:04,879
have to worry about you know which vm has cores on which ccx and you know

114
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:08,160
where the pci express ports are connected and all that kind of stuff

115
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:12,960
so we're just we're taking the easy path okay

116
00:08:10,879 --> 00:08:19,360
i guess this gives us an opportunity to uh install our m.2 drives again the sk

117
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:24,000
hynix gold p31 SSD features class leading pci express gen 3 read speeds of

118
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:29,759
up to 3 500 megabytes per second it's the world's first NVMe SSD for consumers

119
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,680
with a 128 layer nand flash and all the

120
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:36,080
core components are designed and built by sk hynix using their in-house

121
00:08:33,599 --> 00:08:40,560
technology so you know it's good sk hynix has been supplying global pc oems

122
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:44,240
with high quality competitive ssds for years and they're backing this up with a

123
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:48,800
five year warranty you can learn more at the link in the video description

124
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:52,160
all right i think that's it for the blue nice

125
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,480
now i'm just gonna clean out my gun and switch paints

126
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:03,360
it's not bad it ranges from absolutely perfect to

127
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:09,519
reasonable hey that's a pretty good range yeah meanwhile after switching

128
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:12,000
platforms everything is hunky-dory so

129
00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:16,959
it's normal within a virtual machine for our clock speed to just be reported as

130
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:20,080
the base clock so 3.7 gigahertz here but i would actually expect it to be

131
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:25,600
boosting and we'd be able to see that on our hypervisor in the background we've

132
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:27,440
got eight virtual cores so that's four

133
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:32,560
true cores and four hyper threaded cores which should be plenty for basically any

134
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:34,560
modern game and our yep graphics card

135
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:38,480
not only showed up but it's actually installing the drivers as well and the

136
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:42,800
icing on the cake is that this is actually vm number two

137
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:46,640
one extra little bonus is that because this motherboard happens to have two and

138
00:09:44,399 --> 00:09:50,160
a half gig Ethernet each of us should get

139
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:53,600
one gigabit per second plus so when we're downloading games we can actually

140
00:09:51,839 --> 00:09:57,920
both download them at high speeds i'm downloading a game in uplay and i'm

141
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:02,000
downloading a game in steam it's sitting in the neighborhood of

142
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:07,040
0.1 to 0.4 milliseconds uh Jake's sitting in the 1.2 to 1.5

143
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:11,040
millisecond range also pretty good so in terms of the

144
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:15,920
responsiveness of this experience you know you fire up a web browser or whatever the case may be you go to

145
00:10:13,959 --> 00:10:20,240
lttstore.com you want to do that kind of stuff

146
00:10:16,959 --> 00:10:22,320
neither of these users is going to know

147
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:26,399
that they're not on a dedicated machine which is the beauty of virtualization

148
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:30,160
with high performance hardware like what we've got right now pretty sleek hey

149
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,120
what the what is this now that all our games are installed we

150
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:37,920
just need to set our array to start automatically and also set our vms to

151
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:41,200
start automatically which means that when we press the power button on the

152
00:10:40,079 --> 00:10:46,399
computer all of this stuff happens completely

153
00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:48,880
transparently and just our two computers

154
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:55,040
light up on their own in theory all right

155
00:10:51,839 --> 00:10:55,040
that's it how does it look

156
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:04,320
press the button let's do it you saw something oh there you go are they both

157
00:11:02,399 --> 00:11:10,320
going with the way we've got it set up then booting it up is just like booting

158
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,320
up any normal computer

159
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:17,839
dang it i just got killed by a butt no

160
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:22,560
dang it i gotta run faster with my knife here swinging my knife swinging my knife

161
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:26,800
around how does it feel it feels like a regular system uh

162
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:30,160
delayed not bad so mission accomplished then i mean i

163
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:34,320
don't like being beside you here

164
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:37,760
look it's a couple's pc okay fine we'll trade you out we'll trade you get out of

165
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:42,640
here so is this actually cheaper than building two pcs

166
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:48,000
well it's a little complicated i mean you could build two pcs with cheaper

167
00:11:45,839 --> 00:11:53,120
lower tier components that would be combined less than just this one but if

168
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:57,200
you wanted you know two pcs that were at a similar performance tier it would

169
00:11:54,720 --> 00:12:02,000
actually be similar or maybe even more expensive to build the two and what's

170
00:11:59,279 --> 00:12:05,519
cool is particularly using unraid we've actually got those couple CPU cores and

171
00:12:03,839 --> 00:12:09,200
a little bit of RAM left over we could throw some hard drives in this thing and

172
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:13,040
we could actually use it also for a third purpose as network attached

173
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:16,399
storage for the rest of our house if we were into that sort of thing a

174
00:12:14,639 --> 00:12:20,720
disadvantage you have to deal with is obviously both of the players are

175
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:24,800
tethered to the same machine so you have to not mind

176
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:28,079
being in close proximity to each other fortunately we're good with that so i've

177
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,760
got them both fired up with ano just go ahead and accept my invite both of us

178
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:36,959
just running the game here we've actually settled into more like 40 to 60

179
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:41,760
CPU usage you'll see little spikes like that

180
00:12:38,399 --> 00:12:44,160
sometimes up around 70 75 percent but

181
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:47,360
that's freaking awesome one test that we can do on our storage subsystem is both

182
00:12:46,079 --> 00:12:50,839
of us try to load up the game at the same time so go ahead and press play

183
00:12:49,839 --> 00:12:54,800
and 800. let's see how we do

184
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:59,040
did you notice anything abnormal about the loading times

185
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:02,639
i wasn't really paying attention sorry okay perfect

186
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:06,639
with everything cranked in my game and the view distance increased so that's a

187
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:12,480
gameplay option over here i'm getting anywhere from

188
00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:14,079
50 mid to 70 mid FPS even when i'm

189
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:19,200
pulled back so i can actually see more of my islands which personally i really

190
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:22,959
prefer and then Yvonne running at 4k is wow that's not bad 90 FPS you're out

191
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:27,920
in the middle of the ocean though do you want to go look at one of the islands

192
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:30,800
how does it feel not bad

193
00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:36,800
it was stuttering a little bit before but now it's not we're supposed to try this game called fall guys now this

194
00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:41,120
one's not particularly demanding but the use case that we're trying to show here

195
00:13:38,959 --> 00:13:46,720
is that this game doesn't support local multiplayer yet so

196
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:50,959
virtualization yeah we're to die like right away aren't we

197
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,800
can you jump yeah yeah space i guess i've only i have an

198
00:13:53,040 --> 00:14:00,079
ps4 okay well that was not very successful

199
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:03,120
oh come on

200
00:14:00,079 --> 00:14:05,120
i'm doing so bad

201
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:12,480
don't give up there's like giant donuts and stuff dang it no i can't do this

202
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:14,720
i'm so adorable and useless

203
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:19,199
is that you no

204
00:14:17,199 --> 00:14:22,399
somehow i doubt this is hitting the CPU quite as hard as anno was

205
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:30,959
yeah yeah we had we had like thirty percent thirty percent oh no no no no oh i fell

206
00:14:27,839 --> 00:14:32,480
oh come on but can you recover can you

207
00:14:30,959 --> 00:14:38,880
recover it you can recover it recover just keep going dive dive yes i qualified

208
00:14:37,519 --> 00:14:44,399
where are you i don't know speaking of freaking awesome

209
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:49,440
just want to shout out sk hynix for sponsoring this really fun build this

210
00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:53,760
was a blast for us to put together it actually

211
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:57,680
ended up performing and just generally functioning better than i could have

212
00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:01,600
possibly hoped for because you never know when you're doing like cutting edge

213
00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:06,959
virtualization stuff like this their storage held up extremely well so these

214
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:11,120
are pci express gen 3 NVMe drives they're a great upgrade whether you're

215
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:15,600
running a desktop a laptop or whatever the case may be if you want great

216
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:20,160
responsiveness and a lot of storage actually i mean if you told me like five

217
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:23,839
years ago we were gonna have ssds that were the size of a stick of gum that

218
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:29,760
were a terabyte of capacity that you just slip into your motherboard like that no cables no mess i told you i

219
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:33,120
think you're crazy but great idea you know go out there and make it happen if

220
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:38,720
you want to get 10 percent off the sk hynix gold p31 one terabyte SSD just

221
00:15:36,079 --> 00:15:42,560
head to amazon and use code 10 LTT skh1tb we're going to have that in the

222
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:46,480
video description so you don't have to like remember it thanks sk hynix for

223
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:51,759
making it happen thanks for making this video happen and thanks to you guys for

224
00:15:48,959 --> 00:15:51,759
watching
