1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,560 The plan today was for me to tell you guys all about the sick gaming PCs that StarForge 2 00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:12,480 systems put together for our whales at Whale Land 2023 at LTX. 3 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:20,440 Oh wow, it's really heavy. The problem is that I don't know a couple of the minor details like how much these things 4 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:26,840 are worth. I can tell you that our whales paid $10,000 for their tickets that include the PC and 5 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,680 I can tell you that this system is not available on StarForge's website. 6 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,680 That's right, as part of this sponsorship deal for Whale Land, StarForge collaborated 7 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:41,920 with Blue Horse Studios to do up something totally custom. 8 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:47,380 And I can also tell you that this is my first time seeing it, so I really hope they did 9 00:00:47,380 --> 00:00:51,720 a good job. Because of the way I unboxed it, you guys get to see it before me. 10 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,320 Did it get bashed in and shipping? You're nodding. 11 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,960 What is with this guy? Why would you do that to me? The PCs were hand-delivered to us. 12 00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:04,800 We put them on a pallet and we're pretty sure the weight of the PC with the box bent 13 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,960 the bottom feet. So we're getting new feet for the whales. Oh it is bent. 14 00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:13,800 But this looks amazing! Oh my goodness! 15 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,600 Woohoohoo! Oh it's a vinyl wrap. 16 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:23,120 The case is turquoise and then they've got these blue accents on it that really sell the 17 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:28,240 underwater theme. I think the business end might look even better though. 18 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,760 Holy crap the size of this GPU. 19 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,880 Oh that's really thoughtful. 20 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,280 I have all four of these off and it can't just fall off. 21 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,200 There's a little holder right here for the tempered glass side panel. 22 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,920 One thing I will tell you guys for sure is that we are not going to have the same problem 23 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:54,640 we had last time. At Whale Land 2022, people bought whale tickets which included a gaming PC, but the problem 24 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,240 we had is there's a big overlap between the people who pay thousands of dollars for a 25 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,160 whale ticket and people who already have a good gaming PC. 26 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,800 Not this time! We have gone absolutely top of the freaking line. 27 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:18,080 We've got a 1300KS CPU, that's 24 cores of gaming goodness, an RTX 4090 Aero OC that 28 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:23,680 is one of the largest computer components I think I have ever seen. 29 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,440 They apparently want me to do a couple of key upgrades on this system, so I'm going 30 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:33,880 to start by taking out the GPU, since I have to add my screwdriver handy anyway, lttstore.com. 31 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:39,840 Oh cable mod 16 pin cable, no lighting on fire for you buddy. 32 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:49,500 Is this GPU make my hands look small? Now that we can actually see everything, we've got 64GB of DDR5 6000CL38, an MSI Z790 33 00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:55,340 MPG edge motherboard, a 1300W power supply rated at 80 plus platinum efficiency, also 34 00:02:55,340 --> 00:03:00,820 from MSI. Full cable mod cabling, man I love these gold cable comb accents here. 35 00:03:00,820 --> 00:03:05,840 A full compliment of Lee and Lee's daisy chainable RGB fans with what appear to be 36 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,460 infinity mirrors on the hubs, I'm not sure if I've seen this particular version before 37 00:03:10,460 --> 00:03:17,900 in person. And naturally, while it is AIO cooled, it's AIO cooled by EK, so I'm expecting outstanding 38 00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:28,020 performance, of course we're going to fire it up pretty shortly here. For storage, we've got a 4TB WD Black SN850X in there, and the piece that I'm adding is 39 00:03:28,020 --> 00:03:34,260 for networking, we've got these Intel X540 network cards cooled by Noctua, courtesy of 40 00:03:34,260 --> 00:03:39,900 our extremely robust mounting solution of one screw in the corner. 41 00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:44,140 Seriously though, look at that, we even heat shrink the power cables onto the thing on 42 00:03:44,140 --> 00:03:47,180 the thing, so yeah, it's good. 43 00:03:47,820 --> 00:03:53,540 I don't think this is going to fit. I think there is a solution to this. 44 00:03:53,540 --> 00:04:00,380 All we need to do is loosen this thumbscrew, easy, and it still doesn't fit. 45 00:04:00,380 --> 00:04:06,940 I have a really bad idea. Oh, darn it, it slipped. 46 00:04:06,940 --> 00:04:10,660 I'm not going to apologize to StarForge for what I'm doing, they have a penis for a logo. 47 00:04:10,660 --> 00:04:15,780 I will apologize to Bluehorse. I'm sorry I did this to your computer. 48 00:04:15,780 --> 00:04:21,180 Eh, ah, ah, you can't, you don't even notice it. 49 00:04:21,180 --> 00:04:30,180 You know what, I bet I could put this cable kind of here, uh, do you hear that noise? 50 00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:40,860 Get this back in here. I am going to test that USB-C port, because I do not like the way they bent this cable. 51 00:04:41,860 --> 00:04:46,860 Okay. Do you want to see the USB-C? Um, thank you. 52 00:04:47,860 --> 00:04:51,860 Oh, this is a little thing that goes on the cable-wide cable. 53 00:04:51,860 --> 00:04:54,860 Uh, I don't know how it goes on there. 54 00:04:54,860 --> 00:05:01,860 And it's broken. Oh, wow, that's heavy. 55 00:05:01,860 --> 00:05:08,860 Really, this keyboard? It's not really aligned with the whale, um, theme that we have going on here, but sure. 56 00:05:08,860 --> 00:05:15,860 Let's turn this thing on. StarForge asked me to bring up the fact that they now shipped to the EU and UK, and they're 57 00:05:15,860 --> 00:05:20,860 going to be doing custom systems like this once a month, apparently, because yeah, you 58 00:05:20,860 --> 00:05:25,860 can't order one of these, but, um, hey, maybe something, not like it, but, but, like it 59 00:05:25,860 --> 00:05:28,860 and that it is unique later. Oh, sick. 60 00:05:28,860 --> 00:05:31,860 The RGB app launched and now it's all blue and white. Love it. 61 00:05:31,860 --> 00:05:36,860 Very tasteful. Also that infinity mirror on the fan looks amazing. 62 00:05:36,860 --> 00:05:39,860 This GPU is at 46 degrees. 63 00:05:39,860 --> 00:05:42,860 Ah, the fans are off. 64 00:05:42,860 --> 00:05:45,860 That makes sense. It's very quiet under the water. 65 00:05:45,860 --> 00:05:49,860 So we wanted to capture that. 66 00:05:49,860 --> 00:05:54,860 I know I'm only in the loading screen, but like 400 FPS and Cyberpunk doing anything is 67 00:05:54,860 --> 00:05:57,860 pretty impressive. Raytracing Ultra. 68 00:05:57,860 --> 00:06:01,860 Steam Deck. I'm curious. Steam Deck preset. 69 00:06:01,860 --> 00:06:04,860 How many FPS can we get? Only 151? 70 00:06:05,860 --> 00:06:08,860 Oh yeah. This is not running at Steam Deck resolution. 71 00:06:08,860 --> 00:06:11,860 Okay. Hold on. Hold on. 72 00:06:11,860 --> 00:06:14,860 600 FPS. No, no. Okay. 73 00:06:14,860 --> 00:06:22,860 I'll answer you. How did it fall the way back down to 150 FPS? The CPU is still at 50% utilization and this poor GPU has no work to do. 74 00:06:22,860 --> 00:06:25,860 Okay. Let's not do this. Let's go to 4K. 75 00:06:25,860 --> 00:06:30,860 Woo. And we are still running at 100 frames per second. 76 00:06:30,860 --> 00:06:37,860 Realistically, we're closer to 80, 85 FPS average, but it's the lows that make this so 77 00:06:37,860 --> 00:06:41,860 smooth. Our 1% lows are 65. 78 00:06:41,860 --> 00:06:45,860 We're going even further now to the Path Tracing Technology Preview. 79 00:06:45,860 --> 00:06:49,860 Requires a 4070 Ti or a 3090. 80 00:06:49,860 --> 00:06:52,860 Wait a second. This is smooth. 81 00:06:52,860 --> 00:06:55,860 Even this is running at 60 FPS average. 82 00:06:55,860 --> 00:06:58,860 Look at this. Look at it. 83 00:06:58,860 --> 00:07:01,860 I was looking at my shadow. 84 00:07:01,860 --> 00:07:04,860 Buddy. Get out of the street. What the heck? 85 00:07:04,860 --> 00:07:07,860 No. Hey, hey, hey. Stop. 86 00:07:07,860 --> 00:07:10,860 Stop. Stop it. Hey. 87 00:07:10,860 --> 00:07:13,860 Whoa. What the? These guys are going to run me down. 88 00:07:13,860 --> 00:07:16,860 What kind of neighborhood is this? You're shooting them. Well, ow. 89 00:07:16,860 --> 00:07:19,860 What the heck? I'm walking here. Okay. 90 00:07:19,860 --> 00:07:24,860 Sorry. Anyway, I'll see you all at LTX, especially you, Wales. 91 00:07:24,860 --> 00:07:27,860 Congrats on your amazing gaming machines. 92 00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:30,860 Oh my God. Wait. I missed something. 93 00:07:30,860 --> 00:07:34,860 I had OBS recording running too. I wasn't even giving it all to GPU. 94 00:07:34,860 --> 00:07:37,860 Maximum GPU temp, 70 degrees. 95 00:07:37,860 --> 00:07:40,860 CPU maxed out at 85 in games. 96 00:07:40,860 --> 00:07:44,860 Don't forget to subscribe to ShortCircuit. Thanks, StarForge, for sending these over for our Wales.
