00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:13.440
today on the crazy Russians NC PC lab I

00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:18.000
have boxes actually I have a system hiding

00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:23.160
behind the boxes featuring a number of the components that are here represented

00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:28.080
by the boxes that the components are no longer inside because they're in the

00:00:26.119 --> 00:00:33.280
system so we have the Crosshair 5 formula which is a susa's republic of

00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:37.000
Gamers SLI Crossfire ready motherboard

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:40.280
that has full support for AMD bulldozer

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:43.920
FX so we've got an fx 8150 CPU in here

00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:46.800
cooled by the Corsair h100 using four

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:51.039
fans and push pull configuration for maximum static pressure and maximum air

00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:56.440
flow we've also got a radon hd6970 direct cu2 from ASUS so the direct cu2

00:00:54.199 --> 00:01:00.039
cooler uses dual fans in order to provide better cooling than the

00:00:58.199 --> 00:01:04.680
reference design card you can actually run not only one but two of those cards

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:09.560
in this system just by adding an additional card and upgrading the power

00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:12.200
supply where the ax850 is more than

00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:15.960
enough for a single card solution just for comfort you might want to go with

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:19.119
something a little bit higher end if you go with a dual or even a triple no I

00:01:17.720 --> 00:01:23.439
don't think yeah this card does not support triple Graphics because it uses

00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:26.880
a triple slot cooler on this particular motherboard but you can still go with

00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:32.799
dual graphics and then you might want to go with um an HX what is it HX 1050

00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:35.360
these days I think the hx1000 is gone either way let's have a look at the

00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:41.920
system so the first thing you're going to see here is the AMD FX 8158 core

00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:46.000
processor so here I'm going to show you what might become your favorite

00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:50.719
Benchmark and that is Task Manager because it has eight threads all of

00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:56.880
which are pinned at 100% because we are running Prime 95 small fft in order to

00:01:54.640 --> 00:02:01.520
Pro put the maximum amount of stress on the CPU to make sure it's stable before

00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:05.039
we start any overclocking because these systems will come pre-overclocked this

00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:09.000
is actually going to be a special edition red painted system as you may or

00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:12.280
may not be able to tell at this point in time I also want to show you one other

00:02:10.440 --> 00:02:15.280
cool thing about the bulldozer FX CPU I'm going to stop the small fft test

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:20.120
hopefully that doesn't bother crazy Russian and it's not doing anything that

00:02:17.720 --> 00:02:26.680
matters I don't know uh so I'm going to set it to one torture test thread to run

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:30.360
and you are going to see AMD

00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:34.319
turbo hold on there we go

00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:37.319
so core clocks are up to 3.9 GHz so that

00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:39.200
is using their turbo core technology in

00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:42.440
order to provide better single-threaded performance when you're running a

00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:47.800
lightly threaded workload so there you go it works uh what else do we have here

00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:51.200
yeah let's open it up and have a look at the rest of the system config I actually

00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:56.159
don't know how much these are going to cost yet I don't know what the final clock speeds of the CPU going to be yet

00:02:54.519 --> 00:03:00.159
these are all sort of trivial details what you need to know is that it is a

00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:05.920
beast machine and it looks great so we've got the ax850 there there's your

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:10.280
triple slot capable of five simultaneous

00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:13.120
outputs a uh ASUS radon 6970 and you can

00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:19.519
put an additional one in this lot right here actually oh can you can you okay

00:03:17.799 --> 00:03:24.840
apparently you can I'm getting the nod from uh crazy Russian so that's good

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:27.319
we've also got a crucial M4 sat3 SSD

00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:31.959
installed in the top Bay and a 3 tbte storage drive that's a 128 gig right yep

00:03:29.959 --> 00:03:36.319
I'm getting the nod we've got 8 gigs of Corsair Vengeance RAM which can be

00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:40.720
upgraded to 16 gigs should you so desire we've got the h100 so you can clearly

00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:44.879
see the two stock Corsair fans here and then we've also got two Cooler Master

00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:49.480
red LED fans here which gives you that little bit of LED lighting Accent on the

00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:52.680
top we've got the corser h100 right here which you can actually adjust the fan

00:03:50.799 --> 00:03:56.840
speed on just by clicking the button so there's your low mid and your highspeed

00:03:54.799 --> 00:04:01.319
settings just you can see the LED illumination around it and the Crosshair

00:03:58.760 --> 00:04:06.599
5 formula motherboard makes a beautiful backdrop with its black overall look and

00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:11.599
red accents that go along with every other aspect of this system very very

00:04:09.200 --> 00:04:15.040
sharp looking system so thank you oh yeah we've got hey check that out we've

00:04:12.799 --> 00:04:20.199
got a Blu-ray uh is that a Blu-ray burner nope we've got a Blu-ray player

00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:26.440
DVD burner combo unit in the front to go with the ASUS and Corsair overall theme

00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:29.400
of this build it is an ASUS Blu-ray Drive and I think that pretty much

00:04:27.919 --> 00:04:32.919
covers everything I wanted to say about this Sky I look forward to getting back

00:04:31.400 --> 00:04:37.280
to you guys with our overclocking results with the bulldozer FX 8150 don't
