WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:08.400
when AMD announced the naming and specs of their lineup of ryzen threadripper

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:10.960
cpus immediately our writing team knew

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:14.400
exactly what had to be done really guys

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:19.279
1920x for the step down flagship i mean that's

00:00:17.119 --> 00:00:25.400
just irresponsible so we grabbed NVIDIA's step down flagship GPU and set

00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:33.120
out to build the ultimate 1920 by 1080 gaming pc

00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:37.399
wait what you don't get it come on

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:37.399
even NVIDIA gets it

00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:52.000
synergy allows you to share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:56.559
at once check it out now at the link in the video description

00:00:54.239 --> 00:01:01.920
so the basis of this entire build is a post on reddit borrowed from a youtube

00:00:58.879 --> 00:01:05.600
comment somewhere obviously building a

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:08.720
full hd gaming system out of an 800.12

00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:12.000
core processor a 550

00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:14.880
motherboard and a 500 graphics card is

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:20.320
stupid for a fair number of reasons but full transparency here guys we love

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

00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:27.280
million views on a gaming pc that barely

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

00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:35.119
tips if the build didn't start with some random ass problems that we couldn't

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:40.400
have predicted Jake ended up spending three hours just trying to get our ASUS

00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:46.320
zenith extreme motherboard to post because one of the torx mounting screws

00:01:43.119 --> 00:01:49.680
on the socket itself had loosened as if

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:52.640
by magic so the CPU was being safely and

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:56.399
securely held down just above the damn contact pins i mean who looks for

00:01:54.320 --> 00:02:01.040
something like that further complicating matters the define r5 that we originally

00:01:58.880 --> 00:02:06.320
planned to build in couldn't contain the sheer birth of this board and thanks to

00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:10.720
our recent mezzanine construction and organization overhaul basically every

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:14.879
case had been moved into our new and improved long-term storage area that was

00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:21.440
full of poisonous fumes from spraying the walls so the only cases left in the

00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:25.360
warehouse were fractal's core 3500 and

00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:27.520
the mercury s8 from 7 gamers 1 CPU that

00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:31.920
happened to be already set up for wider than average dual socket server

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

00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:42.560
the win for RAM Jake made the only logical decision here and decked out our

00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:46.080
config with the full complement of eight

00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:48.319
times eight gigabytes of trident z RGB

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:52.800
memory from g-skill i mean come on you think regular RAM was gonna suffice for

00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:58.080
a troll build no installing a 12 core 24 thread processor

00:02:55.440 --> 00:03:02.480
into the tr4 socket is actually a pretty satisfying process and once everything

00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:08.239
was set up Jake was able to use our zenith extreme board to push our

00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:10.959
threadripper 1920x up to four gigahertz

00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:15.840
on all cores at around 83 degrees celsius under load any higher than that

00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:20.400
and it would crash almost instantly this could be a limitation of just zen core

00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:25.680
overclocking in general but hardware info reported a cool

00:03:22.440 --> 00:03:27.440
240 watts of power draw for the CPU so

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:31.760
the limitation could also be just a matter of the chip not being able to get

00:03:29.440 --> 00:03:35.920
more power even with the dual 8-pin eps connectors this thing is crazy to

00:03:34.239 --> 00:03:42.239
achieve that cooling result we ended up with a Corsair h100i v2 which

00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:44.720
shockingly with its dual 120 millimeter

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

00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:53.360
chance of success we applied an ample amount of icy diamond thermal compound

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

00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:01.720
not crazy this is actually how AMD

00:03:58.959 --> 00:04:05.840
recommends to apply it the Corsair rm1000x is just the right amount of

00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:09.599
overkill for modern systems so you'll probably keep seeing that until Corsair

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:13.599
comes out with an RGB version or something and while sadly we weren't

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

00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:23.680
RGB was not forgotten and thanks to the zenith dual aura RGB headers and

00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:30.479
cablemod wide beam RGB strips the entire system is RGB synced from the RAM to the

00:04:27.280 --> 00:04:32.560
sleek underglow Jake was so astonished

00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:36.800
by the plethora of diseases that he contracted from all the rigb that he

00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:41.120
almost forgot to put in fans so at the last minute he finished up with ek

00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:46.800
vardar fans to match the industrial look of our mercury s8 and huzzah it boots

00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:55.040
almost like it was all tested before assembly so then to answer your guy's

00:04:49.520 --> 00:04:58.000
question how does the ultimate 1920x1080

00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:04.800
build perform well the only responsible thing to do is start our testing at 720p

00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:07.440
maximum details as you can see here

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:13.440
overspending on the CPU and skimping on the GPU is punishing us already deus ex

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:18.800
mankind divided only managed 38 frames per second because well maxed out like

00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:22.800
really maxed out that's a very demanding game moving right to the other end of

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

00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:31.720
a poop parade a feces festival a diarrhea demonstration you get a point

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

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:40.639
here 4k was terrible 720p was terrible i mean what were you expecting for

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:43.560
something in between like why are you even still watching this are

00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:47.520
you are you honestly waiting for the 1920x1080 results what do you think

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

00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:55.600
them it's all unplayable anyway when you max out the settings so the only thing

00:05:53.520 --> 00:05:59.600
we learned was a valuable lesson about optimizing your games and bottlenecking

00:05:58.320 --> 00:06:04.800
something that could have been achieved in less time by watching this episode

00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:09.120
and this episode of Techquickie there are a hundred reasons for wanting

00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:13.600
multiple computers at your desk maybe you're a mac person primarily but you

00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:18.160
need a non-virtualized Windows environment for some reason

00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:25.199
synergy solves the problem of having to have two keyboards and two mice for two

00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:26.800
or more separate computers you can share

00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:32.080
one set of peripherals so you'll no longer get confused and the whole thing

00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:38.560
is seamless you just drag the mouse from one screen to another we're talking pc

00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:41.199
mac and even Linux support they offer a

00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:45.280
basic and pro option for synergy with a one-time payment and features include

00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:49.360
advanced stuff like clipboard sharing between computers dragging and dropping

00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:55.199
files between computers the ability to set up hotkeys and more so use our link
