WEBVTT 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 00:00:06.560 --> 00:00:12.480 systems put together for our whales at Whale Land 2023 at LTX. 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 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 00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:31.680 I can tell you that this system is not available on StarForge's website. 00:00:31.680 --> 00:00:36.680 That's right, as part of this sponsorship deal for Whale Land, StarForge collaborated 00:00:36.680 --> 00:00:41.920 with Blue Horse Studios to do up something totally custom. 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 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. 00:00:51.720 --> 00:00:55.320 Did it get bashed in and shipping? You're nodding. 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. 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 00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:08.960 the bottom feet. So we're getting new feet for the whales. Oh it is bent. 00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:13.800 But this looks amazing! Oh my goodness! 00:01:13.800 --> 00:01:17.600 Woohoohoo! Oh it's a vinyl wrap. 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 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:28.240 underwater theme. I think the business end might look even better though. 00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:31.760 Holy crap the size of this GPU. 00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:35.880 Oh that's really thoughtful. 00:01:35.880 --> 00:01:40.280 I have all four of these off and it can't just fall off. 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:44.200 There's a little holder right here for the tempered glass side panel. 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 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 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 00:01:59.240 --> 00:02:03.160 whale ticket and people who already have a good gaming PC. 00:02:03.160 --> 00:02:07.800 Not this time! We have gone absolutely top of the freaking line. 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 00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:23.680 is one of the largest computer components I think I have ever seen. 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 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. 00:02:33.880 --> 00:02:39.840 Oh cable mod 16 pin cable, no lighting on fire for you buddy. 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 00:02:49.500 --> 00:02:55.340 MPG edge motherboard, a 1300W power supply rated at 80 plus platinum efficiency, also 00:02:55.340 --> 00:03:00.820 from MSI. Full cable mod cabling, man I love these gold cable comb accents here. 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 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 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 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 00:03:28.020 --> 00:03:34.260 for networking, we've got these Intel X540 network cards cooled by Noctua, courtesy of 00:03:34.260 --> 00:03:39.900 our extremely robust mounting solution of one screw in the corner. 00:03:39.900 --> 00:03:44.140 Seriously though, look at that, we even heat shrink the power cables onto the thing on 00:03:44.140 --> 00:03:47.180 the thing, so yeah, it's good. 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. 00:03:53.540 --> 00:04:00.380 All we need to do is loosen this thumbscrew, easy, and it still doesn't fit. 00:04:00.380 --> 00:04:06.940 I have a really bad idea. Oh, darn it, it slipped. 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. 00:04:10.660 --> 00:04:15.780 I will apologize to Bluehorse. I'm sorry I did this to your computer. 00:04:15.780 --> 00:04:21.180 Eh, ah, ah, you can't, you don't even notice it. 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? 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. 00:04:41.860 --> 00:04:46.860 Okay. Do you want to see the USB-C? Um, thank you. 00:04:47.860 --> 00:04:51.860 Oh, this is a little thing that goes on the cable-wide cable. 00:04:51.860 --> 00:04:54.860 Uh, I don't know how it goes on there. 00:04:54.860 --> 00:05:01.860 And it's broken. Oh, wow, that's heavy. 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. 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 00:05:15.860 --> 00:05:20.860 going to be doing custom systems like this once a month, apparently, because yeah, you 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 00:05:25.860 --> 00:05:28.860 and that it is unique later. Oh, sick. 00:05:28.860 --> 00:05:31.860 The RGB app launched and now it's all blue and white. Love it. 00:05:31.860 --> 00:05:36.860 Very tasteful. Also that infinity mirror on the fan looks amazing. 00:05:36.860 --> 00:05:39.860 This GPU is at 46 degrees. 00:05:39.860 --> 00:05:42.860 Ah, the fans are off. 00:05:42.860 --> 00:05:45.860 That makes sense. It's very quiet under the water. 00:05:45.860 --> 00:05:49.860 So we wanted to capture that. 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 00:05:54.860 --> 00:05:57.860 pretty impressive. Raytracing Ultra. 00:05:57.860 --> 00:06:01.860 Steam Deck. I'm curious. Steam Deck preset. 00:06:01.860 --> 00:06:04.860 How many FPS can we get? Only 151? 00:06:05.860 --> 00:06:08.860 Oh yeah. This is not running at Steam Deck resolution. 00:06:08.860 --> 00:06:11.860 Okay. Hold on. Hold on. 00:06:11.860 --> 00:06:14.860 600 FPS. No, no. Okay. 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. 00:06:22.860 --> 00:06:25.860 Okay. Let's not do this. Let's go to 4K. 00:06:25.860 --> 00:06:30.860 Woo. And we are still running at 100 frames per second. 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 00:06:37.860 --> 00:06:41.860 smooth. Our 1% lows are 65. 00:06:41.860 --> 00:06:45.860 We're going even further now to the Path Tracing Technology Preview. 00:06:45.860 --> 00:06:49.860 Requires a 4070 Ti or a 3090. 00:06:49.860 --> 00:06:52.860 Wait a second. This is smooth. 00:06:52.860 --> 00:06:55.860 Even this is running at 60 FPS average. 00:06:55.860 --> 00:06:58.860 Look at this. Look at it. 00:06:58.860 --> 00:07:01.860 I was looking at my shadow. 00:07:01.860 --> 00:07:04.860 Buddy. Get out of the street. What the heck? 00:07:04.860 --> 00:07:07.860 No. Hey, hey, hey. Stop. 00:07:07.860 --> 00:07:10.860 Stop. Stop it. Hey. 00:07:10.860 --> 00:07:13.860 Whoa. What the? These guys are going to run me down. 00:07:13.860 --> 00:07:16.860 What kind of neighborhood is this? You're shooting them. Well, ow. 00:07:16.860 --> 00:07:19.860 What the heck? I'm walking here. Okay. 00:07:19.860 --> 00:07:24.860 Sorry. Anyway, I'll see you all at LTX, especially you, Wales. 00:07:24.860 --> 00:07:27.860 Congrats on your amazing gaming machines. 00:07:27.860 --> 00:07:30.860 Oh my God. Wait. I missed something. 00:07:30.860 --> 00:07:34.860 I had OBS recording running too. I wasn't even giving it all to GPU. 00:07:34.860 --> 00:07:37.860 Maximum GPU temp, 70 degrees. 00:07:37.860 --> 00:07:40.860 CPU maxed out at 85 in games. 00:07:40.860 --> 00:07:44.860 Don't forget to subscribe to ShortCircuit. Thanks, StarForge, for sending these over for our Wales.
