when AMD announced the naming and specs of their lineup of ryzen threadripper
cpus immediately our writing team knew
exactly what had to be done really guys
1920x for the step down flagship i mean that's
just irresponsible so we grabbed NVIDIA's step down flagship GPU and set
out to build the ultimate 1920 by 1080 gaming pc
wait what you don't get it come on
even NVIDIA gets it
synergy allows you to share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers
at once check it out now at the link in the video description
so the basis of this entire build is a post on reddit borrowed from a youtube
comment somewhere obviously building a
full hd gaming system out of an 800.12
core processor a 550
motherboard and a 500 graphics card is
stupid for a fair number of reasons but full transparency here guys we love
stupid and the last time we pandered to reddit we ended up with two and a half
million views on a gaming pc that barely
worked at all so this one was a no-brainer now it wouldn't be Linus tech
tips if the build didn't start with some random ass problems that we couldn't
have predicted Jake ended up spending three hours just trying to get our ASUS
zenith extreme motherboard to post because one of the torx mounting screws
on the socket itself had loosened as if
by magic so the CPU was being safely and
securely held down just above the damn contact pins i mean who looks for
something like that further complicating matters the define r5 that we originally
planned to build in couldn't contain the sheer birth of this board and thanks to
our recent mezzanine construction and organization overhaul basically every
case had been moved into our new and improved long-term storage area that was
full of poisonous fumes from spraying the walls so the only cases left in the
warehouse were fractal's core 3500 and
the mercury s8 from 7 gamers 1 CPU that
happened to be already set up for wider than average dual socket server
motherboards so i think you guys can see where i'm going with this case Labs for
the win for RAM Jake made the only logical decision here and decked out our
config with the full complement of eight
times eight gigabytes of trident z RGB
memory from g-skill i mean come on you think regular RAM was gonna suffice for
a troll build no installing a 12 core 24 thread processor
into the tr4 socket is actually a pretty satisfying process and once everything
was set up Jake was able to use our zenith extreme board to push our
threadripper 1920x up to four gigahertz
on all cores at around 83 degrees celsius under load any higher than that
and it would crash almost instantly this could be a limitation of just zen core
overclocking in general but hardware info reported a cool
240 watts of power draw for the CPU so
the limitation could also be just a matter of the chip not being able to get
more power even with the dual 8-pin eps connectors this thing is crazy to
achieve that cooling result we ended up with a Corsair h100i v2 which
shockingly with its dual 120 millimeter
fans on a radiator was barely enough to tame this beast then to give us the best
chance of success we applied an ample amount of icy diamond thermal compound
we're going to have to ask them for another bit of this stuff because we're
not crazy this is actually how AMD
recommends to apply it the Corsair rm1000x is just the right amount of
overkill for modern systems so you'll probably keep seeing that until Corsair
comes out with an RGB version or something and while sadly we weren't
able to get cablemod cables here in time and had to make do with the stock ones
RGB was not forgotten and thanks to the zenith dual aura RGB headers and
cablemod wide beam RGB strips the entire system is RGB synced from the RAM to the
sleek underglow Jake was so astonished
by the plethora of diseases that he contracted from all the rigb that he
almost forgot to put in fans so at the last minute he finished up with ek
vardar fans to match the industrial look of our mercury s8 and huzzah it boots
almost like it was all tested before assembly so then to answer your guy's
question how does the ultimate 1920x1080
build perform well the only responsible thing to do is start our testing at 720p
maximum details as you can see here
overspending on the CPU and skimping on the GPU is punishing us already deus ex
mankind divided only managed 38 frames per second because well maxed out like
really maxed out that's a very demanding game moving right to the other end of
the spectrum 4k gaming performance was uh i mean i don't know how do i put this
a poop parade a feces festival a diarrhea demonstration you get a point
it was a show so then stepping down to 1440p there's well there's no surprises
here 4k was terrible 720p was terrible i mean what were you expecting for
something in between like why are you even still watching this are
you are you honestly waiting for the 1920x1080 results what do you think
they're gonna be like why you know what forget it i'm just not even gonna show
them it's all unplayable anyway when you max out the settings so the only thing
we learned was a valuable lesson about optimizing your games and bottlenecking
something that could have been achieved in less time by watching this episode
and this episode of Techquickie there are a hundred reasons for wanting
multiple computers at your desk maybe you're a mac person primarily but you
need a non-virtualized Windows environment for some reason
synergy solves the problem of having to have two keyboards and two mice for two
or more separate computers you can share
one set of peripherals so you'll no longer get confused and the whole thing
is seamless you just drag the mouse from one screen to another we're talking pc
mac and even Linux support they offer a
basic and pro option for synergy with a one-time payment and features include
advanced stuff like clipboard sharing between computers dragging and dropping
files between computers the ability to set up hotkeys and more so use our link
