00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:08.880
on christmas eve of last year we introduced the Corsair concept slate

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:13.920
with an air-cooled ultimate build that was pretty neat but apparently left some

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:17.279
of you wanting more well

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:22.080
your blue balls can rejoice because the blue monster is complete and we're going

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:29.679
to walk you through the process of building in the dual system case that

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:33.200
Corsair introduced as a crazy concept

00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:35.360
but looks like it is actually coming to

00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:40.079
market but first i gotta tell you what's not a crazy concept mac weldon mac

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:44.800
weldon makes great underwear t-shirts socks wallets and more they believe in

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

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:49.520
link below

00:00:55.760 --> 00:01:02.079
the first step was to remove the previous air cooled build that was done

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:06.479
for comparison's sake starting with the one quadro that was left in it after the

00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:10.799
system got raided for our triple projector gaming setup then finishing

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:13.439
with both motherboards with their air-cooled hardware still attached to

00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:20.159
them next began the tedious process of

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:23.200
installing gtx 1080 short top blocks

00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:25.600
onto all of the quadros these coolers

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:30.720
have shorter acrylic covers for improved compatibility with cards like the p5000

00:01:28.479 --> 00:01:36.720
that we're using and then a single standard full cover water block for the

00:01:32.960 --> 00:01:40.079
gtx 1080 ti the plan here is to use that

00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:43.040
last card for a dedicated compact gaming

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:47.360
system while the quadros power a top of the line workstation

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

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.360
don't think even our petabyte project server could stomach that much 8k red

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

00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:06.240
don't know if i could ever get sick of gorgeous cnc work like that

00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:12.879
the two CPU blocks were a little bit easier to install sort of our mini itx

00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:17.599
strix z270 motherboard gets a standard ek supremacy evo so that one was all

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:22.720
good but getting the rampage six extremes monoblock on is a bit of a

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:26.400
weird process that involves punching through the plastic

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:32.080
blockages in the mounting holes on the motherboard replacing the vrm heatsink with

00:02:29.760 --> 00:02:36.480
something reminiscent of an m.2 cooler and then finally hand tightening the

00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:39.599
thumb screws on the back after popping both boards back into the

00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:45.120
slate followed by the four quadros we arrived

00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:50.319
at terminal time the last build that we used one of these for was actually with

00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:52.319
a custom one designed for seven cards in

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:57.360
seven gamers one CPU so then i mean by comparison

00:02:54.720 --> 00:03:00.879
quad gpus is a pretty normal configuration so this four-way terminal

00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:06.000
is again by comparison and off-the-shelf

00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:11.440
item and a perfect way to plumb up a whole motherboard full of gpus just be

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:16.400
really careful with the o-rings don't tear them and make sure that all eight

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:21.599
are properly seated because of leak right in your GPU stack is very likely

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:25.760
to end up killing something to cool our dual system build ek

00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:32.080
graciously provided two quad 120 millimeter xc series radiators

00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:37.519
for the workstation portion and then an additional triple 140 thick radiator for

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:42.159
the gaming system so that's right folks we're going to be

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:46.640
running two independent loops which will allow our systems to function without

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:49.760
the need to power on both of them at a time

00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:54.560
mounting the rads was impressively easy thanks to the fancy sliding mount system

00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:57.599
that Corsair built into the slate but

00:03:55.440 --> 00:04:02.400
we're actually a little torn on our choice of light loops for the 13 fan

00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:07.920
slots that we're filling for the imposing but classy aesthetic

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

00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:19.040
go pure performance with their maglevs instead the rest of the planning bending

00:04:16.239 --> 00:04:23.840
cutting tinkering small modifications and cable management or lack thereof

00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:29.600
took about two days on and off resulting in a super clean aesthetic accomplished

00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:33.199
in part by our signature hard in the front

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

00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:42.080
a significant amount of time both during the initial build and more importantly

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:46.639
whenever you need to crack the loop open for maintenance then it was time to fill

00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:51.280
up the loops via the installed d5 pump and reservoir combo units starting with

00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:57.120
the workstation build this way we could make sure that no leak sprouted in any

00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:58.160
spots that our itx systems GPU would

00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:05.280
hide and no leaks surprisingly with thankfully

00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:10.639
the same story again for our itx build which is really good because it would

00:05:07.039 --> 00:05:12.639
have super sucked to empty both loops

00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:16.720
and fix a leak down there with both of them mostly full we poured

00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:21.600
in some coolant concentrates from primo chill first an opaque white for the

00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:25.759
workstation then a light blue to match our cables for the gaming build but

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

00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:34.240
guys through our cooling resolves for the workstation temps went down from

00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:41.919
just over 70 degrees average on our 79 xc 18 core extreme edition to 61 degrees

00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:46.240
a pretty decent improvement even if i think we could do better with the

00:05:43.440 --> 00:05:52.560
lidding and then as for our gpus those dropped almost 30 degrees from an

00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:55.680
average of 82 down to 53.5 at full CPU

00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:58.240
and GPU load in id64 and this is with

00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:04.560
all of our fans running at their minimum speed so this thing is super quiet

00:06:01.840 --> 00:06:08.720
as for our itx system well we saw big improvements there and not just to

00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:13.520
temperatures also performance with so many cards installed in our

00:06:11.039 --> 00:06:18.800
workstation our little mini itx air cooled system was limited to a

00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:21.120
suffocated low profile knock to a l9i

00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:26.960
which caused our 7700k to hit 100 degrees and throttle 30 to 50

00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:33.120
percent at stock speeds our water cooled rig predictably turbos the CPU up

00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:35.919
comfortably and maxes out the GPU at 54

00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:41.890
degrees after a prolonged stress test now with that out of the way here's one

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:42.960
of our famous glam montages set to music

00:06:56.960 --> 00:07:13.039
my eyes

00:07:13.039 --> 00:07:16.360
it'll be

00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.759
oh

00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.319
i told you

00:08:44.560 --> 00:08:50.480
okay so that was fun but um back to reality for a minute

00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:54.480
why why would anyone need

00:08:52.959 --> 00:08:59.440
a case like this well we came up with a couple things

00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:04.320
let's say that you do 3d design work in programs that can take advantage of

00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:07.920
multiple graphics cards like blender or 3ds max

00:09:05.839 --> 00:09:13.200
with a system like this you could dramatically speed up your render times

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:14.959
and still game or do other work while

00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:20.720
the main system is chewing away at a large job or how about streaming many streamers

00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:24.399
use two systems so that they can keep encoding to one of them to avoid

00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:28.000
impacting the primary rig's gaming performance

00:09:25.920 --> 00:09:33.760
with all that said though since literally none of the internal

00:09:30.959 --> 00:09:38.000
components get reused in a configuration like this one

00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:41.519
and the slate is slated to cost as much as two separate high-end

00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:46.560
cases there are some pretty strong arguments to be made for just having two normal

00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:50.399
systems like stacked on top of each other

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

00:09:53.600 --> 00:10:00.800

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

00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:15.320
subtle you know that's LTT it's

00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:15.320
