inside this box is not one not two but
eight top of the line 16 core ryzen 7000
gaming CPUs and I know what you're thinking this makes no sense oh it just
broke it even if super micro was crazy enough to put consumer chips in a server
they don't support multi-chip configurations ah
ah they don't need to every one of these
rear blades contains everything you need
for an entire PC networking PCIe
expansion storage power CPU and RAM
which there's no RAM there's no CPU
this is a system for that
but sir this is LTT I can't make a video without any CPUs but we don't have the
CPU they don't have a seat sir I could pee into the AMD Booth from
here tell you what get me power get me networking and I swear to you I will not
leave this exhibition haul until I find a CPU and RAM for that matter and power
the Sun the people need to see this beast in action and I swear to you that
I will not begin my quest until I finish this segue to our sponsor us wait what
all right LTX 2023 come hang out with us
on July 29th and 30th in Vancouver Canada
it's a city we have over 65 Creator
guests tons of activities swag and more
get your ticket today at the link below realistically we probably don't even
have to go to AMD for this anyone who's got an overclocking demo is going to
know they're probably going to kill some CPUs
we need RAM
G skill let's go
where the hell is g-skill oh it's right there
oh yeah OC World Cup they're definitely gonna have CP they're gonna have trees
of CPUs I really hope Waze there I want to see him yeah Frank Frank's good too
Frank is here hi Frank and we'll find ways soon don't worry Frank do your
thing see you later uh I can't find my way okay I'm leaving
goodbye well I thought I was gonna find him
right away yeah oh my God
insufferable if he's eating we might have to wait
I don't know if I can wait any longer oh my god really now you're doing
its way okay we have a problem okay
that's the problem and I know that I probably should have warned you but I
didn't want to he said not to we found a computer yes
that uh is kind of cool this is an am5
computer but it has no CPU and no RAM and we thought maybe you could help us
sure can you find a way to help us oh my
god oh we get you the ramp yep oh I need a CPU we need CPUs too okay you have you
have an OC World Cup over there you must have CPUs
what what are you kidding oh my God I didn't think that
this could be there is no way one of these computers none of them have AMD
there is AMD ones but I have a screwdriver
I don't have to ask who you can just say
that we stole it all right tell you what let's start with the RAM but you're not
allowed to ask permission it has to be a surprise when the video goes up
otherwise it's no fun
if it's a problem we will make it up to you you can be our new RAM specialist at
the lab give you a job how about we put it this
way if you can't get RAM we'll go to Team group oh
no oh my God how are how are none of these systems oh here's here's one oh
that makes sense because you guys want to show high speed memory can we power
this one down temporarily we'll bring it back I promise like today we'll bring it
back today in an hour here let me help you
thank you way we'll be we'll be waiting oh wait this is the 48 gig sticks what
uh oh well
Jesus Trident Z5 Royal boys we can get
started on the RAM before he gets back with the CPU
hey thank you oh my God oh my God bulk
thermal paste I love it can we take the heat spreader off oh my God and you're
giving me a hard time for asking for so much I mean we're already this can we
take the heat spreader off or do you have one that doesn't have a heat spreader
well those guys got to have heat guns at the OC World Cup
and to think we could have given him a heads up well we could have after all
he's gone through we have to show g-skill memory worst case scenario we
just leave the next note over empty and we put this one in oh my God he's back
with a heat gun he's never appeared on the channel before but this is our G
skill rep we make life really easy for him right
yeah sweating poor guy you like my Hello
Kitty Transit card oh my God Jake it's cute tell me if I'm like burning you or
anything it's a little warm yeah go yeah
go left I'm trying not to burn your fingers oh you got gloves no we don't
need those anymore we're going gloves these are not gonna fit me I'll wear the
gloves yeah okay so the small hands yeah we got it
small hands are my superpower okay watch out Jake watch out I'm lifting it up
just don't want to pry the ICS off of the memory module success on the one
side give me some g-skill talking points fast memory for gamers so fast that the
heat spreaders just fall right off with a heat gun and a plastic card oh my God
Jake that's not so fast by the RAM that's a Byler RAM this is the worst
thing we've ever done this is how you overclock right by the way the new
Royale memory looks amazing If You're Gonna Go cringe I say go full cringe I
love it now obviously we wouldn't recommend taking the spreaders off of
your G skill memory they do actually serve a function especially if you're
running at high speeds and also they look really cool
but nothing should prevent them from functioning like this and now they're
low profile enough to fit in our server module plus it's going to be in a server
with a lot of airflow which desktop computers not so much oh wow there's so
much thermal compound I think uh I think we're good thank you okay I'm gonna do
one of my trademark uh vertical CPU removals
okay
thank you bye see you soon I'll cover you the evidence
and we're back all I gotta do is put these little
shrouds that I took off earlier back on oh my God these are finicky why are
these even here yeah what is the point of these
all they do is cover the RAM this is a airstrike that we can cover it so we can
make sure the old airport will go through the CPU oh so we don't want
cooling on the RAM just just a little bit just a little bit tiny cooling oh
yes tiny coating ah okay okay okay all right I'll figure out how to put it on
then I don't have anything yeah they're looking we could go on another side
quest and get a USB to Ethernet dongle I
think the CEO framework is kicking around on the show floor maybe he has
them what about that laptop is it for a specific demo oh
thank God oh my God I've never wanted to see you more in my life
we're at the super microwave I'm filming right now hi this is Sasha he's like one
of our ASUS contacts he's awesome we're at the super micro Booth we're
trying to do a video on a server I want to connect to it via Ethernet
but I don't have Ethernet on my laptop I need a laptop that has Ethernet or like
a USBC to Ethernet a laptop would be better because then I can very easily do
an ASU shout out easier to do because we have Spears for us yeah if you have a
laptop that has Ethernet though of course of course like a big one like
this one right here see look how's Ethernet right there well Jake's
on our second side quest I'm gonna run you guys through what this is exactly
and what it's for at its heart is an am5 socket supporting up to the ryzen 7950 X
3D and that seems like a really weird choice for our server CPU even if we
factor in that AMD does unofficially support ECC memory but it's not as weird
as it sounds because server products tend to focus on performance for what
efficiency is King in the data center but that tends to come at the cost of
Maximum per thread performance whereas
gaming CPUs are all about boosting as high as possible so for certain server
applications like Game servers where customers want High single threaded
performance and tend to be price sensitive something like this is
fantastic each blade supports up to 128
gigs of ddr5 memory three nbme storage
devices one on here and then two in the
front for each one and up to 25 gigabit
networking and when you consider that you can pack eight of them into just a
3u chassis it's a really attractive
option yes does it work it's already on
yes I'll be back in like half an hour thank
you now just because it's a consumer CPU at its core doesn't mean that you're
likely to use this for your gaming rig oh speaking of gaming rigs
very nice I got the world's most baller Ethernet Jack you could fit almost
nothing in here in terms of gaming Graphics but what it lacks in gaming
prowess it makes up for in manageability it has a single ipmi Network Management
Port here that actually assigns eight
different IPS to all the different nodes and it has a built-in switch so you can
daisy chain this chassis to the next to the next to the next making the
deployment super simple you know we've got a cable management
product coming really soon that I think would be just great for you guys still
haven't decided what to call them though leave a comment if you have some ideas
hey it's this guy you remember him co-starring in our uh promotional videos
we were doing there you go yeah you did great thank you oh hey there she goes
boys okay Jake I hope you're ready I gotta
like do configuration so there's actually an indicator light to show
which ones are active this is the one we put a CPU in RAM in so it gets a green
light and these ones all get no green lights it's working I had to set a
static IP on this interface and then I restarted it and now it's found DHCP
discover so okay so theoretically we can manage it now oh wow we don't have to
manage it over the network they've got a standard KVM Port back here that'll do
serial USB and VGA and then they've also
got a USBC port on this thing so I guess
that's cool but we're gonna log into the
oh I never mentioned the Redundant power supplies
2200 Watts wow you could probably do the whole thing off just one of these then
wow that's not a lot of power look it's got a web interface too there we go
there's all our IPS okay so I had to set a static IP in Windows for that
interface and then it just finds any interface with the static IP and runs
the HTTP so you've got all eight of them yeah look at that okay let's find the
working one like can I unplug a blade while it's on
okay 5c hopefully I put this in the right way
it's awake now the question is
do we know what the default password is admin admin what are the odds I start
with that well they don't usually do that anymore oh it is that okay
usually super micro servers now have a randomly generated one which
is better better But I hate it CPU
memory oh yeah look at that it's even got to navigate things so fast
this is cool oh well yeah okay like the power supply warning and you know let me
drive stop touching 79.50x
that's working that's sick what about the RAM did it manage our weird 40. it
has one stick and it thinks it's a 16 gig stick okay well g-scope they make
great gaming memory I probably wouldn't rip the spreaders off and put it in a
server it might just need a firmware update because realistically the memory
controller is on the CPU yeah and it should be actually fairly board agnostic
but you can still run into issues oh cool so under the power supply menu in
each of the nodes it shows you all the other nodes and it also shows the power
consumption this is super cool and all but I would love to see one that
actually has room for a GPU land centers or something like internet cafe yeah
baller internet cafe yeah 37 degrees on
the CPU considering how freaking hot it is even with the AC running in here I
consider that a win the ramp the RAM's only 29 degrees Yeah I mean assuming
it's reading that sensor correctly given it has no idea what's in it yeah it
thinks it's a 16 gig stick of RAM and it only detects one of them so we
might have killed one oh look at this multi-node and if I
click on one it opens the ipmi for that one oh that's super cool and you can
pick each one and it shows you all of the different things
power consumption fan speed well I consider this a win yeah all right let's
look at some of the more conventional servers this is interesting in front of
me I have the infamous Ponte Vecchio also known as sorry Intel GPU Max 1550.
there's eight of them in this 8U chassis
and this was meant to be a competitor to NVIDIA's a100 series and then it was
very very very late the good news is that it actually is competitive against
h-100 the successor to the a100 in
certain workloads uh like HPC for example you might want to use it for
simulation but it's not competitive in
AI but word on the street is that it
could be available for as little as around half of the price making this
the budget multi hundred thousand dollar solution
to be clear Intel has certainly made some improvements to help it compete
with current gen this is all PCIe Gen 5
connectivity and rather than using PCIe for GPU to GPU
communication they're using what they call xelink which turns the 128
gigabytes of hbm or high bandwidth memory on each of these GPU packages
into a total of one terabyte of memory
that's accessible to all eight gpus
that's pretty cool for HPC workloads
even with that Advantage though Intel's in a bit of an interesting bind with
this product because for very small customers who might be looking to Save A
Buck they're gonna have to redo a lot of their software to make use of this
making it maybe impractical and then for large customers well they can afford the
NVIDIA solution anyway so they might as well just get the industry leader so
hopefully they find a customer for this but uh maybe it doesn't matter we can
just wait for next gen assuming that ever arrives
this is one hell of a beefy cooler what are these things let me guess let me
guess let me guess 600 watts really yes
like exactly right or a little bit over under exactly
I'm good at this point what if anything would prevent me from removing the
processor itself yeah
I mean yeah it doesn't seem like your problem right I mean realistically as
long as the video has like a million and a half two million views by the time the
HQ sees it you're not going to get in trouble
this is the best thing about trade shows because you get to interact directly
with the people who kind of don't give up now it's moving a
little I think I may have undone entirely the wrong screws to start okay
now I'm a little scared because this is taking more Force than I'm accustomed to
what is wrong with it well what wouldn't you do the same thing
I mean yeah but like what about these little ones hold on maybe there's more
oh yeah just takes a professional
ah
what the hell you made me think this was
a real one okay well what am I holding
but this board is just for a show
okay so there would be an actual interface there for this okay highly
confidential trade secret authorized SCC blah blah development
only hopefully I can figure out how to get this back together or hopefully someone
here can figure out how to get this back together more realistically
woke wow
I mean I guess that's what happens when you
pack one of the most complex chips ever conceived
and 600 watts of power delivery onto a
board the size of freaking a mid-range GPU see part of me was expecting to see
memory around this kind of like we saw with NVIDIA's Grace Superchip but that
wouldn't be the case it's hbm so it's right on that gigantic complicated Ponte
Vecchio package under here does anyone know how this goes back together
don't worry about it just put it on our team yeah you guys will figure it out
okay I'll put this here I mean this is all like broken anyway right or does
these do these work well not yet
wow yeah all right thank you very much for
