1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:07,839
can that be right has it really been almost 3 years since we filmed whole

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,519
room water cooling where we upgraded all our editing

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:16,800
workstations that means we've been using the same base editing workstations for

4
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:20,560
almost 3 years I mean they've served us well six Core Extreme editions 32 gigs

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:26,359
of RAM Titan graphics cards all that good stuff but come on baby it's

6
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:28,720
2017 it's time for an upgrade so we're

7
00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:35,160
going to be moving to the latest 10 Core Extreme editions and perhaps even more

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:37,480
importantly RGB and to help me I have

9
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:42,559
enlisted a very special guest my favorite Soviet Canadian Ivan who is

10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:46,960
going to be helping me perform these upgrades in place with the goal being to

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:52,239
hot swap everybody's editing workstations so we lose almost no

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,320
productivity will it work probably not

13
00:00:52,239 --> 00:00:58,920
so if we miss any uploads you'll know what happened but darn it we're going to

14
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:07,320
do our best let's go

15
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:14,759
so this is the part where he finds out why he was brought in today it's a

16
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:19,560
buildoff do you have a screwdriver what is that it's a custom made one of course

17
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:25,079
it is why did I even ask wow it's really smooth mhm looks

18
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:28,799
like it has all kinds of uses mhm I'm sorry I touched

19
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:35,320
it all right you only get half of the table don't touch my

20
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:38,720
side don't yell at me don't don't touch my side don't yell at me we're not in

21
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:42,759
the relationship so in terms of motherboard the choice was actually

22
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:48,840
pretty straightforward we were looking for something based on ASUS's x99

23
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:54,920
platform eight sticks of RAM support we needed lots of PCI Express slots and we

24
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,119
wanted Rock Solid stability so that's

25
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:02,280
why we went with this board versus the more advanced one oh right and it has an

26
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:07,240
RGB header the most important feature in

27
00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:12,599
terms of processor well as you probably noticed this video was brought to you by

28
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,120
Intel so if you get to choose whatever

29
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:21,760
processor you want in Intel's lineup come on you go with the

30
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:27,400
6950x so not only are we getting faster individual cores compared to our

31
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:30,400
existing 4960 XS we are actually getting

32
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:32,239
four more processing cores so that means

33
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:36,680
more multitasking that means better performance as we've measured before in

34
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:42,440
the past so if you wanted you could actually check out a video that we did a

35
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:45,080
little while ago on um the best possible

36
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:49,120
hardware setup for video encoding we get more performance there and we get better

37
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:57,200
multitasking chill out man I'm the one who should be russing okay yeah you

38
00:02:54,120 --> 00:03:02,640
never worked in the office back with

39
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:02,640
us you never wanted to oh what did I

40
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:10,120
hit okay so what I could do is figure

41
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:16,000
out the orientation myself but thanks to the side by-side format of this

42
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:18,159
buildoff and the respect that I have for

43
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,400
my competitor I'm just going to jump right in and do it the same way he did

44
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,920
it see he congratulates me for cheating

45
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,360
isn't he wonderful hey what's all this stuff in

46
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:37,120
my pocket I know where lives oh RGB oh oh Advantage Linus

47
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:41,560
because he didn't spell out all of the Rules of

48
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:44,400
Engagement well you're already married get it

49
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:53,560
gety so in terms of the power supply upgrade here we're actually going from

50
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:55,280
750 watt 80 plus gold power supplies

51
00:03:53,560 --> 00:04:02,200
that were semi modular to Corsair's hxi 850w power

52
00:03:59,799 --> 00:04:07,120
supplies one of the big advantages here is that the fan itself actually turns

53
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:12,159
off when it's not under a heavy load which means that these systems will be

54
00:04:09,079 --> 00:04:13,599
extremely quiet at least acoustically

55
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:16,680
they're going to be RGB so they're going to be their own flavor of

56
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:25,080
loud did you put in all four screws on the uh radiator or all eight rather yes

57
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:27,560
sir oh man why you do this because you

58
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:33,600
taught me that way Ian do not do half job ever wow

59
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:36,360
oh oh you know what you may have made a

60
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:41,720
mistake though your RGB fans will not be visible from the

61
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:41,720
outside then I might have made a

62
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:48,919
mistake since uh this is the only thing that's going to be lighting up the

63
00:04:46,039 --> 00:04:52,680
inside of the case I actually do stick with my decision because then at least

64
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:55,960
we'll have the inside of the case lit somehow as opposed to only having it

65
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:01,639
coming from the front fence which are kind of further to the front arbitrary

66
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:01,639
rules are also arbit

67
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:07,759
AR it's like you can't install the motherboard until you install the AO you

68
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:14,320
can't install the AO until you install the fans you can't install the fans until you install the we got to create

69
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:18,639
that fake uh like that fake cooking show tension where's the

70
00:05:16,479 --> 00:05:23,680
salt see this is what I love about modern cases that have the the middle

71
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:28,400
kind of nubin thing going on there so you can actually

72
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,080
mount a motherboard and it'll stay in

73
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:33,720
place well enough for you put in the rest of the motherboard

74
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,840
screws while you look for the motherboard screws where are my

75
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:41,720
motherboard screws oh thank

76
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,160
you a

77
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:52,160
shoot novice mistake man I got my IO

78
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,280
Shield stuck on one of my ports so I

79
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:59,240
have to pull the board out fortunately I've only put in one screw no washer is

80
00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:04,440
on the ID either no you don't need washers on on the

81
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:08,919
radiator warps the metal if you

82
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:11,280
don't I oh come on it's

83
00:06:08,919 --> 00:06:16,120
fine now I have to flip my radiator orientation cuz I think my two hose will

84
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:19,720
collide with a your friend I always run into trouble with my hose

85
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:23,680
colliding holla that's okay we've got lots of

86
00:06:21,919 --> 00:06:27,759
clean terrible humor we don't need the dirty terrible

87
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:31,720
humor is that a SATA cable in your pocket you're just happy to see me

88
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:35,080
well if I was happy it wouldn't be very happy look at this thing

89
00:06:35,599 --> 00:06:44,680
yeah it's even a little weenie one like weeny like eenie weeny but also

90
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:47,319
like a penis okay this is a trick that I

91
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:52,560
use but never recommend where you just kind of line it up on the pins and then

92
00:06:50,400 --> 00:07:01,280
you use a screwdriver to jam it on if you slip you hit your motherboard with a

93
00:06:57,039 --> 00:07:04,479
screwdriver yeah the build off's done I

94
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:06,440
won by 10 minutes but given that he's

95
00:07:04,479 --> 00:07:11,080
never built in the case before I'd say that's kind of within you know margin of

96
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:15,080
error so it's going to come down to which build you guys ultimately think is

97
00:07:12,919 --> 00:07:19,720
better Ivan took a different approach to the cabling at the back a different

98
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:24,440
approach to the cabling at the front and opted to put the fans on the inside to

99
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:31,280
illuminate the motherboard area rather than on the outside and as for me I have

100
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:35,639
my 24 four pin cable going up the cable management run I have my uh my drive

101
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:39,720
cable really not looking as good back there I don't think I did as good a job

102
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:43,879
of these cables but I've got my Thunderbolt 3 card installed so bonus

103
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:49,800
points for that they're all supposed to have Thunderbolt 3 and 10 gig Lan and

104
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:55,360
I've got my fans visible from the top here so that I can have like dope

105
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,400
animated lighting effects like that of

106
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:01,520
course we had to build six of these systems and Ian did the other four and

107
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:04,319
he figures this is what he calls the final form so what did you do

108
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,919
differently on this one right well starting from the front I took a

109
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:11,680
extremely neat approach to the bottom part of the cabling see how everything

110
00:08:09,599 --> 00:08:16,360
snakes around and is barely visible except for this little Rainbow piece

111
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:19,560
over here uh the other thing is that I

112
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:21,360
actually found where to tuck away all of

113
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:26,080
the extra cables there's a cavity up here here so as you can see the backside

114
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:30,360
is very clean and finally I managed to stick all of the thicker cables behind

115
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:35,599
this protective sheath and even cleaned up the bottom a little bit still not

116
00:08:32,959 --> 00:08:39,479
perfectly happy with the result but that's the key a clean backside all

117
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:43,839
right so uh of course you guys aren't here just

118
00:08:41,719 --> 00:08:48,519
for that but also performance so we tested these systems a couple of

119
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:53,959
different ways first with the RGB lighting mostly disabled the RAM's still

120
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,399
on but all the fans off so we could get

121
00:08:53,959 --> 00:09:00,200
a baseline for how much of an improvement we were looking at over our

122
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:05,120
previous systems and as you guys can see it is pretty freaking huge whether we're

123
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:11,560
talking cine bench whether we're talking Adobe Media encoder going from six to 10

124
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:14,839
cores and faster cores with upgraded

125
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:17,920
Graphics is a massive

126
00:09:14,839 --> 00:09:21,320
difference but and that's without RGB

127
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:24,040
flare so my system here was actually

128
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:29,920
tested a little bit differently we turned on the RGB lighting with some

129
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:36,440
animations and overclocked the CPU to 4.2 GHz one of which we're not sure if

130
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:39,880
it was the RGB or the overclock allowed

131
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:42,519
us to achieve simply mindboggling

132
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:47,760
performance it actually feels like this is an upgrade over the three-year-old

133
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:54,440
systems in everything from video editing to heavy multitasking to even gaming so

134
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:59,440
when it comes to the red footage that we're working on now that we can swap

135
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:04,680
everybody's systems out now we're looking at definite real usability

136
00:10:02,279 --> 00:10:08,720
improvements over the old systems things like timeline scrubbing are going to be

137
00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:13,079
much faster on these systems than they were on the old ones and I think that

138
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:18,760
pretty much wraps it up thank you guys for coming along on this wild and

139
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:22,480
hopefully entertaining ride thank you to

140
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:24,560
Intel ASUS and Corsair for hooking us up

141
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:30,480
with what we think are pretty much the most ba editing workstations on the

142
00:10:27,959 --> 00:10:35,800
planet and thanks to you guys for watching see you next time oh yeah and

143
00:10:33,079 --> 00:10:39,839
thanks to Ivan for being here and being productive and that

144
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:42,519
too so thanks for watching guys if you dislike this video you know where that
