1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,400
when AMD announced the naming and specs of their lineup of ryzen threadripper

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,960
cpus immediately our writing team knew

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:14,400
exactly what had to be done really guys

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,279
1920x for the step down flagship i mean that's

5
00:00:17,119 --> 00:00:25,400
just irresponsible so we grabbed NVIDIA's step down flagship GPU and set

6
00:00:23,439 --> 00:00:33,120
out to build the ultimate 1920 by 1080 gaming pc

7
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:37,399
wait what you don't get it come on

8
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,399
even NVIDIA gets it

9
00:00:44,239 --> 00:00:52,000
synergy allows you to share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers

10
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:56,559
at once check it out now at the link in the video description

11
00:00:54,239 --> 00:01:01,920
so the basis of this entire build is a post on reddit borrowed from a youtube

12
00:00:58,879 --> 00:01:05,600
comment somewhere obviously building a

13
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:08,720
full hd gaming system out of an 800.12

14
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:12,000
core processor a 550

15
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:14,880
motherboard and a 500 graphics card is

16
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:20,320
stupid for a fair number of reasons but full transparency here guys we love

17
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:25,360
stupid and the last time we pandered to reddit we ended up with two and a half

18
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:27,280
million views on a gaming pc that barely

19
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:31,520
worked at all so this one was a no-brainer now it wouldn't be Linus tech

20
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:35,119
tips if the build didn't start with some random ass problems that we couldn't

21
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:40,400
have predicted Jake ended up spending three hours just trying to get our ASUS

22
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:46,320
zenith extreme motherboard to post because one of the torx mounting screws

23
00:01:43,119 --> 00:01:49,680
on the socket itself had loosened as if

24
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:52,640
by magic so the CPU was being safely and

25
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:56,399
securely held down just above the damn contact pins i mean who looks for

26
00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:01,040
something like that further complicating matters the define r5 that we originally

27
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:06,320
planned to build in couldn't contain the sheer birth of this board and thanks to

28
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:10,720
our recent mezzanine construction and organization overhaul basically every

29
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:14,879
case had been moved into our new and improved long-term storage area that was

30
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:21,440
full of poisonous fumes from spraying the walls so the only cases left in the

31
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:25,360
warehouse were fractal's core 3500 and

32
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:27,520
the mercury s8 from 7 gamers 1 CPU that

33
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:31,920
happened to be already set up for wider than average dual socket server

34
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:37,120
motherboards so i think you guys can see where i'm going with this case Labs for

35
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:42,560
the win for RAM Jake made the only logical decision here and decked out our

36
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:46,080
config with the full complement of eight

37
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:48,319
times eight gigabytes of trident z RGB

38
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:52,800
memory from g-skill i mean come on you think regular RAM was gonna suffice for

39
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:58,080
a troll build no installing a 12 core 24 thread processor

40
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:02,480
into the tr4 socket is actually a pretty satisfying process and once everything

41
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:08,239
was set up Jake was able to use our zenith extreme board to push our

42
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,959
threadripper 1920x up to four gigahertz

43
00:03:08,239 --> 00:03:15,840
on all cores at around 83 degrees celsius under load any higher than that

44
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:20,400
and it would crash almost instantly this could be a limitation of just zen core

45
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:25,680
overclocking in general but hardware info reported a cool

46
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,440
240 watts of power draw for the CPU so

47
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:31,760
the limitation could also be just a matter of the chip not being able to get

48
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:35,920
more power even with the dual 8-pin eps connectors this thing is crazy to

49
00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:42,239
achieve that cooling result we ended up with a Corsair h100i v2 which

50
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,720
shockingly with its dual 120 millimeter

51
00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:48,959
fans on a radiator was barely enough to tame this beast then to give us the best

52
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:53,360
chance of success we applied an ample amount of icy diamond thermal compound

53
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:58,959
we're going to have to ask them for another bit of this stuff because we're

54
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:01,720
not crazy this is actually how AMD

55
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:05,840
recommends to apply it the Corsair rm1000x is just the right amount of

56
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:09,599
overkill for modern systems so you'll probably keep seeing that until Corsair

57
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:13,599
comes out with an RGB version or something and while sadly we weren't

58
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:18,400
able to get cablemod cables here in time and had to make do with the stock ones

59
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:23,680
RGB was not forgotten and thanks to the zenith dual aura RGB headers and

60
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:30,479
cablemod wide beam RGB strips the entire system is RGB synced from the RAM to the

61
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:32,560
sleek underglow Jake was so astonished

62
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:36,800
by the plethora of diseases that he contracted from all the rigb that he

63
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:41,120
almost forgot to put in fans so at the last minute he finished up with ek

64
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:46,800
vardar fans to match the industrial look of our mercury s8 and huzzah it boots

65
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:55,040
almost like it was all tested before assembly so then to answer your guy's

66
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:58,000
question how does the ultimate 1920x1080

67
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:04,800
build perform well the only responsible thing to do is start our testing at 720p

68
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:07,440
maximum details as you can see here

69
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:13,440
overspending on the CPU and skimping on the GPU is punishing us already deus ex

70
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:18,800
mankind divided only managed 38 frames per second because well maxed out like

71
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:22,800
really maxed out that's a very demanding game moving right to the other end of

72
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:27,520
the spectrum 4k gaming performance was uh i mean i don't know how do i put this

73
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:31,720
a poop parade a feces festival a diarrhea demonstration you get a point

74
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:37,520
it was a show so then stepping down to 1440p there's well there's no surprises

75
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:40,639
here 4k was terrible 720p was terrible i mean what were you expecting for

76
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,560
something in between like why are you even still watching this are

77
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:47,520
you are you honestly waiting for the 1920x1080 results what do you think

78
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:51,680
they're gonna be like why you know what forget it i'm just not even gonna show

79
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:55,600
them it's all unplayable anyway when you max out the settings so the only thing

80
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:59,600
we learned was a valuable lesson about optimizing your games and bottlenecking

81
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:04,800
something that could have been achieved in less time by watching this episode

82
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:09,120
and this episode of Techquickie there are a hundred reasons for wanting

83
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:13,600
multiple computers at your desk maybe you're a mac person primarily but you

84
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:18,160
need a non-virtualized Windows environment for some reason

85
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:25,199
synergy solves the problem of having to have two keyboards and two mice for two

86
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:26,800
or more separate computers you can share

87
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:32,080
one set of peripherals so you'll no longer get confused and the whole thing

88
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:38,560
is seamless you just drag the mouse from one screen to another we're talking pc

89
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:41,199
mac and even Linux support they offer a

90
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:45,280
basic and pro option for synergy with a one-time payment and features include

91
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:49,360
advanced stuff like clipboard sharing between computers dragging and dropping

92
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:55,199
files between computers the ability to set up hotkeys and more so use our link
