00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,880
on christmas eve of last year we introduced the Corsair concept slate

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:13,920
with an air-cooled ultimate build that was pretty neat but apparently left some

3
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:17,279
of you wanting more well

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:22,080
your blue balls can rejoice because the blue monster is complete and we're going

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:29,679
to walk you through the process of building in the dual system case that

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:33,200
Corsair introduced as a crazy concept

7
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:35,360
but looks like it is actually coming to

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:40,079
market but first i gotta tell you what's not a crazy concept mac weldon mac

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,800
weldon makes great underwear t-shirts socks wallets and more they believe in

10
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:49,520
simple shopping and if you use code tech tips you'll get 20 percent off at the

11
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,520
link below

12
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:02,079
the first step was to remove the previous air cooled build that was done

13
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:06,479
for comparison's sake starting with the one quadro that was left in it after the

14
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:10,799
system got raided for our triple projector gaming setup then finishing

15
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,439
with both motherboards with their air-cooled hardware still attached to

16
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:20,159
them next began the tedious process of

17
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:23,200
installing gtx 1080 short top blocks

18
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:25,600
onto all of the quadros these coolers

19
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:30,720
have shorter acrylic covers for improved compatibility with cards like the p5000

20
00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:36,720
that we're using and then a single standard full cover water block for the

21
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:40,079
gtx 1080 ti the plan here is to use that

22
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:43,040
last card for a dedicated compact gaming

23
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:47,360
system while the quadros power a top of the line workstation

24
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:51,040
now as much as we'd have loved to film the entire process here in real time i

25
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:55,360
don't think even our petabyte project server could stomach that much 8k red

26
00:01:52,960 --> 00:02:00,320
footage and neither could i so time lapse it is oh man that's looking good i

27
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:06,240
don't know if i could ever get sick of gorgeous cnc work like that

28
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:12,879
the two CPU blocks were a little bit easier to install sort of our mini itx

29
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:17,599
strix z270 motherboard gets a standard ek supremacy evo so that one was all

30
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:22,720
good but getting the rampage six extremes monoblock on is a bit of a

31
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:26,400
weird process that involves punching through the plastic

32
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:32,080
blockages in the mounting holes on the motherboard replacing the vrm heatsink with

33
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:36,480
something reminiscent of an m.2 cooler and then finally hand tightening the

34
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:39,599
thumb screws on the back after popping both boards back into the

35
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:45,120
slate followed by the four quadros we arrived

36
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:50,319
at terminal time the last build that we used one of these for was actually with

37
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,319
a custom one designed for seven cards in

38
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:57,360
seven gamers one CPU so then i mean by comparison

39
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:00,879
quad gpus is a pretty normal configuration so this four-way terminal

40
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:06,000
is again by comparison and off-the-shelf

41
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:11,440
item and a perfect way to plumb up a whole motherboard full of gpus just be

42
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:16,400
really careful with the o-rings don't tear them and make sure that all eight

43
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:21,599
are properly seated because of leak right in your GPU stack is very likely

44
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:25,760
to end up killing something to cool our dual system build ek

45
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:32,080
graciously provided two quad 120 millimeter xc series radiators

46
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:37,519
for the workstation portion and then an additional triple 140 thick radiator for

47
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,159
the gaming system so that's right folks we're going to be

48
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:46,640
running two independent loops which will allow our systems to function without

49
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,760
the need to power on both of them at a time

50
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:54,560
mounting the rads was impressively easy thanks to the fancy sliding mount system

51
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:57,599
that Corsair built into the slate but

52
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:02,400
we're actually a little torn on our choice of light loops for the 13 fan

53
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:07,920
slots that we're filling for the imposing but classy aesthetic

54
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:12,879
that we ended up going for we think it may have actually been a bit better to

55
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:19,040
go pure performance with their maglevs instead the rest of the planning bending

56
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:23,840
cutting tinkering small modifications and cable management or lack thereof

57
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:29,600
took about two days on and off resulting in a super clean aesthetic accomplished

58
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:33,199
in part by our signature hard in the front

59
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:37,360
soft in the back style you might think it's kind of dumb but it actually saves

60
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:42,080
a significant amount of time both during the initial build and more importantly

61
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,639
whenever you need to crack the loop open for maintenance then it was time to fill

62
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:51,280
up the loops via the installed d5 pump and reservoir combo units starting with

63
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:57,120
the workstation build this way we could make sure that no leak sprouted in any

64
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,160
spots that our itx systems GPU would

65
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:05,280
hide and no leaks surprisingly with thankfully

66
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:10,639
the same story again for our itx build which is really good because it would

67
00:05:07,039 --> 00:05:12,639
have super sucked to empty both loops

68
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:16,720
and fix a leak down there with both of them mostly full we poured

69
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:21,600
in some coolant concentrates from primo chill first an opaque white for the

70
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:25,759
workstation then a light blue to match our cables for the gaming build but

71
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,440
before we get to the glam montage nope not quite time yet i want to run you

72
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:34,240
guys through our cooling resolves for the workstation temps went down from

73
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:41,919
just over 70 degrees average on our 79 xc 18 core extreme edition to 61 degrees

74
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:46,240
a pretty decent improvement even if i think we could do better with the

75
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:52,560
lidding and then as for our gpus those dropped almost 30 degrees from an

76
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:55,680
average of 82 down to 53.5 at full CPU

77
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:58,240
and GPU load in id64 and this is with

78
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:04,560
all of our fans running at their minimum speed so this thing is super quiet

79
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:08,720
as for our itx system well we saw big improvements there and not just to

80
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:13,520
temperatures also performance with so many cards installed in our

81
00:06:11,039 --> 00:06:18,800
workstation our little mini itx air cooled system was limited to a

82
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:21,120
suffocated low profile knock to a l9i

83
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:26,960
which caused our 7700k to hit 100 degrees and throttle 30 to 50

84
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:33,120
percent at stock speeds our water cooled rig predictably turbos the CPU up

85
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:35,919
comfortably and maxes out the GPU at 54

86
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:41,890
degrees after a prolonged stress test now with that out of the way here's one

87
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,960
of our famous glam montages set to music

88
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:13,039
my eyes

89
00:07:13,039 --> 00:07:16,360
it'll be

90
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:32,759
oh

91
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,319
i told you

92
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:50,480
okay so that was fun but um back to reality for a minute

93
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:54,480
why why would anyone need

94
00:08:52,959 --> 00:08:59,440
a case like this well we came up with a couple things

95
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:04,320
let's say that you do 3d design work in programs that can take advantage of

96
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:07,920
multiple graphics cards like blender or 3ds max

97
00:09:05,839 --> 00:09:13,200
with a system like this you could dramatically speed up your render times

98
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,959
and still game or do other work while

99
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:20,720
the main system is chewing away at a large job or how about streaming many streamers

100
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:24,399
use two systems so that they can keep encoding to one of them to avoid

101
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:28,000
impacting the primary rig's gaming performance

102
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:33,760
with all that said though since literally none of the internal

103
00:09:30,959 --> 00:09:38,000
components get reused in a configuration like this one

104
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:41,519
and the slate is slated to cost as much as two separate high-end

105
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:46,560
cases there are some pretty strong arguments to be made for just having two normal

106
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:50,399
systems like stacked on top of each other

107
00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:55,519
so once again we're turning to you guys in the comments what would you use a

108
00:09:53,600 --> 00:10:00,800
concept slate for let us know

109
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:05,279

124
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:10,720
you should totally join see i was holding up both hands as i went through because it's got two systems say it's

125
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:15,320
subtle you know that's LTT it's

126
