WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.839
for a long time now we've talked about how we're approaching the point where

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:10.559
you could buy a single computer and have two users enjoy it simultaneously but

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:14.719
some recent advancements notably the high core count third generation ryzen

00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:19.760
processors from AMD have gotten us to the point where we think we're finally

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:20.720
ready to do it today we build the one pc

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:26.560
for you and your so and it's sponsored by sk

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:31.039
hynix their gold p31 series ssds are going to act as the high speed storage

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:35.920
we need to have two users simultaneously loading up heavy games at the same time

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

00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:42.280
theme today anyway

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:54.079
now normally we'd start by going through the hardware that we're using for the

00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:59.440
build but today the star of the show is actually the

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

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:09.680
in terms of building but also for its ease of disassembly because

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:14.720
i've got something really fun today instead of just you know lame-o painting

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:19.759
with spray bombs we've actually leaned on our one and only ed zlayago our

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:25.600
production manager who brought in his own like hobbyist grade spray whatever

00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:28.960
this is what is this it's a hvlp turbine sprayer

00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:33.520
the advantage of having a sprayer versus a spray bomb is that you just have more

00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:38.560
control you can adjust the nozzle the pressure so we're going to be using some

00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:42.720
acrylic polyurethane enamel because it's pretty hard wearing it's a in a satin

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

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:49.680
only sprayed a case twice yeah hopefully

00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:52.880
this will be good that's a good rationale for a satin finish which

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

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

00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:05.840
diagonally pink this way cool and then this right side is going to be blue the

00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:09.840
whole panel here is going to be blue and on the inside

00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:12.640
this part's going to be pink not the rest of that yeah we're not

00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:16.640
doing the motherboard tray blue are we no no that's riveted in

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

00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:24.319
off and just have paper or plastic to cover that up

00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:28.959
that's going to look pretty sharp so because this is a hinge

00:02:26.720 --> 00:02:33.760
side panel normally you would have to worry about

00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:37.760
scratching the paint here and here if you're painting the inside because when

00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:42.000
you slide on a panel you're doing a sliding mechanical motion and it's just

00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:47.840
always going to scrape everything scuffing helps our primer coat adhere to

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:49.840
what is otherwise a very very glossy

00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:53.120
shiny surface that's difficult for paint to adhere to this is actually pretty

00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:56.800
good though okay you want it to not be glossy anymore

00:02:55.440 --> 00:02:59.440
while i build up the bench to make sure the system's going to actually

00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:05.360
work after we assemble it ed is masking off

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:07.840
our case so how good of a job of masking

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

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

00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:19.280
system 6.9 nice which means that i'm

00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:24.720
ready to shut it down and get my two NVMe ssds installed the benefit for us

00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:29.519
of going with NVMe storage is that we get low latency operation even when both

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

00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:37.599
ways that we can configure our two sk

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:39.680
hynix gold ssds here either we can have

00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:43.599
both of them running independently and pass them through to our virtual

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:47.519
machines which is similar to how we're going to pass through CPU cores and our

00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:51.360
graphics cards which are going to be installed on the pci express slots here

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

00:03:53.840 --> 00:04:00.720
have both of the vms running on this redundant raid 1 configuration so that

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

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:09.680
motherboard we would experience no data loss whatsoever the drawback of that

00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:15.200
approach is that our two one terabyte drives would give us only one terabyte

00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:17.199
of total usable capacity the last way

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

00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:27.040
speed what do you think david yeah in the event that one fails all the data

00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:30.240
is gone it's gaming it's gaming and honestly i'm not expecting that to

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

00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:38.560
think is actually worth the extra money the lines you get are just so crisp

00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:44.560
compared to the random masking tape that you can get for cheaper

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

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

00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:56.400
actually game off of it but that presents some challenges because

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

00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:02.479
pci express bandwidth i want my high performance card there but that means

00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:08.400
this guy is not outputting my os so i've got a

00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:11.520
remote into it which is fine it just

00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:13.440
means that when i go to boot my vm

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:19.280
womp womp we've got to stub this fortunately this

00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:21.520
is cool the beta has a new tool for

00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:26.080
stubbing system devices so instead of typing a bunch of crap all you do is

00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:34.479
find it click it bind select it to vi fio at boot and

00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:36.400
theoretically you reboot and you're done

00:05:34.479 --> 00:05:41.520
my confidence level is not actually super high i can't have any stress with

00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:46.560
water this cold lttstore.com i finally have progress

00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:52.800
unfortunately i do have to have my pinner card in the top slot due to some

00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:54.960
BIOS Linux funkery but oh boy

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

00:05:57.919 --> 00:06:04.000
to our vm later we changed from CPU host model to CPU host passthrough

00:06:02.880 --> 00:06:10.319
we're in we can expand that 30 gigs later

00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:15.440
is that actually 10 water again not healthy you know that's kind

00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:18.960
of like eating more because you've over salted your food like

00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:21.199
did you have something helpful to say or now

00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:28.319
wow that's actually really good i think two coats and that's nailed

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

00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:37.520
after i added the water because uh that's a bit thin and uneven could also

00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:41.600
just be my painting after all the teasing add about

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

00:06:43.039 --> 00:06:50.240
point painting's looking great but i've tried sea BIOS i've tried changing

00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:54.479
around the xml i cannot get the second vm to fire up here with the second

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:58.240
graphics card and talking to the unraid guys they're basically like yeah you

00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:02.479
know we love AMD and there's members of our community that

00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:08.160
are having great luck with AMD graphics you know with using GPU passthrough but

00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:11.199
it is just not as polished compared to the experience on Intel so at this point

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

00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:21.360
who actually has think about it the highest core count

00:07:18.400 --> 00:07:25.360
CPU with onboard graphics built into it means i don't have to have this anymore

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

00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:31.840
core machine for each of my gamers and

00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:35.199
it means that hopefully the virtualization experience is just going

00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:38.880
to be simple and the benefits of the switch

00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:42.400
kind of keep rolling here i found a board in our inventory that has a much

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

00:07:45.039 --> 00:07:49.120
one with our two graphics cards installed with more space in between

00:07:48.400 --> 00:07:54.400
them um and because Intel is still using a

00:07:52.479 --> 00:07:59.280
monolithic design for their CPU course it means that we don't

00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:04.879
have to worry about you know which vm has cores on which ccx and you know

00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:08.160
where the pci express ports are connected and all that kind of stuff

00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:12.960
so we're just we're taking the easy path okay

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

00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:24.000
hynix gold p31 SSD features class leading pci express gen 3 read speeds of

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

00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.680
with a 128 layer nand flash and all the

00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:36.080
core components are designed and built by sk hynix using their in-house

00:08:33.599 --> 00:08:40.560
technology so you know it's good sk hynix has been supplying global pc oems

00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:44.240
with high quality competitive ssds for years and they're backing this up with a

00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:48.800
five year warranty you can learn more at the link in the video description

00:08:46.560 --> 00:08:52.160
all right i think that's it for the blue nice

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:55.480
now i'm just gonna clean out my gun and switch paints

00:08:56.880 --> 00:09:03.360
it's not bad it ranges from absolutely perfect to

00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:09.519
reasonable hey that's a pretty good range yeah meanwhile after switching

00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:12.000
platforms everything is hunky-dory so

00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:16.959
it's normal within a virtual machine for our clock speed to just be reported as

00:09:14.160 --> 00:09:20.080
the base clock so 3.7 gigahertz here but i would actually expect it to be

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

00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:27.440
got eight virtual cores so that's four

00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:32.560
true cores and four hyper threaded cores which should be plenty for basically any

00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:34.560
modern game and our yep graphics card

00:09:32.560 --> 00:09:38.480
not only showed up but it's actually installing the drivers as well and the

00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:42.800
icing on the cake is that this is actually vm number two

00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:46.640
one extra little bonus is that because this motherboard happens to have two and

00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:50.160
a half gig Ethernet each of us should get

00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:53.600
one gigabit per second plus so when we're downloading games we can actually

00:09:51.839 --> 00:09:57.920
both download them at high speeds i'm downloading a game in uplay and i'm

00:09:55.600 --> 00:10:02.000
downloading a game in steam it's sitting in the neighborhood of

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

00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:11.040
millisecond range also pretty good so in terms of the

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

00:10:13.959 --> 00:10:20.240
lttstore.com you want to do that kind of stuff

00:10:16.959 --> 00:10:22.320
neither of these users is going to know

00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:26.399
that they're not on a dedicated machine which is the beauty of virtualization

00:10:24.880 --> 00:10:30.160
with high performance hardware like what we've got right now pretty sleek hey

00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:33.120
what the what is this now that all our games are installed we

00:10:31.680 --> 00:10:37.920
just need to set our array to start automatically and also set our vms to

00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:41.200
start automatically which means that when we press the power button on the

00:10:40.079 --> 00:10:46.399
computer all of this stuff happens completely

00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:48.880
transparently and just our two computers

00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:55.040
light up on their own in theory all right

00:10:51.839 --> 00:10:55.040
that's it how does it look

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

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

00:11:06.880 --> 00:11:10.320
up any normal computer

00:11:11.680 --> 00:11:17.839
dang it i just got killed by a butt no

00:11:16.160 --> 00:11:22.560
dang it i gotta run faster with my knife here swinging my knife swinging my knife

00:11:20.560 --> 00:11:26.800
around how does it feel it feels like a regular system uh

00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:30.160
delayed not bad so mission accomplished then i mean i

00:11:28.800 --> 00:11:34.320
don't like being beside you here

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

00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:42.640
here so is this actually cheaper than building two pcs

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:48.000
well it's a little complicated i mean you could build two pcs with cheaper

00:11:45.839 --> 00:11:53.120
lower tier components that would be combined less than just this one but if

00:11:50.640 --> 00:11:57.200
you wanted you know two pcs that were at a similar performance tier it would

00:11:54.720 --> 00:12:02.000
actually be similar or maybe even more expensive to build the two and what's

00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:05.519
cool is particularly using unraid we've actually got those couple CPU cores and

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

00:12:07.040 --> 00:12:13.040
we could actually use it also for a third purpose as network attached

00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.399
storage for the rest of our house if we were into that sort of thing a

00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:20.720
disadvantage you have to deal with is obviously both of the players are

00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:24.800
tethered to the same machine so you have to not mind

00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:28.079
being in close proximity to each other fortunately we're good with that so i've

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

00:12:30.160 --> 00:12:36.959
just running the game here we've actually settled into more like 40 to 60

00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:41.760
CPU usage you'll see little spikes like that

00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:44.160
sometimes up around 70 75 percent but

00:12:41.760 --> 00:12:47.360
that's freaking awesome one test that we can do on our storage subsystem is both

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

00:12:49.839 --> 00:12:54.800
and 800. let's see how we do

00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:59.040
did you notice anything abnormal about the loading times

00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:02.639
i wasn't really paying attention sorry okay perfect

00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:06.639
with everything cranked in my game and the view distance increased so that's a

00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:12.480
gameplay option over here i'm getting anywhere from

00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:14.079
50 mid to 70 mid FPS even when i'm

00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:19.200
pulled back so i can actually see more of my islands which personally i really

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

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

00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:30.800
how does it feel not bad

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

00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:41.120
one's not particularly demanding but the use case that we're trying to show here

00:13:38.959 --> 00:13:46.720
is that this game doesn't support local multiplayer yet so

00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:50.959
virtualization yeah we're to die like right away aren't we

00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:54.800
can you jump yeah yeah space i guess i've only i have an

00:13:53.040 --> 00:14:00.079
ps4 okay well that was not very successful

00:13:56.880 --> 00:14:03.120
oh come on

00:14:00.079 --> 00:14:05.120
i'm doing so bad

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

00:14:09.040 --> 00:14:14.720
i'm so adorable and useless

00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:19.199
is that you no

00:14:17.199 --> 00:14:22.399
somehow i doubt this is hitting the CPU quite as hard as anno was

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

00:14:27.839 --> 00:14:32.480
oh come on but can you recover can you

00:14:30.959 --> 00:14:38.880
recover it you can recover it recover just keep going dive dive yes i qualified

00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:44.399
where are you i don't know speaking of freaking awesome

00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:49.440
just want to shout out sk hynix for sponsoring this really fun build this

00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:53.760
was a blast for us to put together it actually

00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:57.680
ended up performing and just generally functioning better than i could have

00:14:55.680 --> 00:15:01.600
possibly hoped for because you never know when you're doing like cutting edge

00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:06.959
virtualization stuff like this their storage held up extremely well so these

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:11.120
are pci express gen 3 NVMe drives they're a great upgrade whether you're

00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:15.600
running a desktop a laptop or whatever the case may be if you want great

00:15:12.800 --> 00:15:20.160
responsiveness and a lot of storage actually i mean if you told me like five

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

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

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

00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:38.720
you want to get 10 percent off the sk hynix gold p31 one terabyte SSD just

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

00:15:41.040 --> 00:15:46.480
video description so you don't have to like remember it thanks sk hynix for

00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:51.759
making it happen thanks for making this video happen and thanks to you guys for

00:15:48.959 --> 00:15:51.759
