1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:08,120
on episode five of holy sh we've got a

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:12,240
computer case so epic that it had to be

3
00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:14,519
delivered on a pallet rather than via

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,320
normal means so of course we've brought with us the only tool suitable to open

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:30,359
such a thing chopsticks

6
00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:35,680
the GTX 980 TI VR Edition from EVGA

7
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:40,520
provides an industry-leading Graphics experience as well as a 5 and a/4 inch

8
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:43,920
Bay with easy access inputs for your VR device learn more at the link in the

9
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:49,160
video description okay well that was obviously

10
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:57,399
completely stupid let's go with the more traditional knife to open this baby up

11
00:00:52,879 --> 00:01:00,719
so inside this box is actually more than

12
00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:02,960
just a computer case in fact there's a

13
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:09,080
case a power supply and a motherboard yes my friends

14
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:15,439
this is the first time we've ever had a chance to check out one of super micro's

15
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:18,479
barebones server units that they sell

16
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:20,560
but this one is very special one that I

17
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:25,040
wish I'd known about a month ago when I was trying to do the seven Gamers 1 CPU

18
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:29,479
project and the only way that I could figure out to put seven graphics cards

19
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:33,920
into a single computer was to water cool the whole blood with all this like

20
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:39,320
custom nonsense and I had to find the one motherboard on Earth that would work

21
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:42,880
etc etc etc no my friends there was an

22
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:47,330
easy way to do it all along all I had to

23
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,880
do was get one of these bad

24
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:55,520
boys oh cool they actually like pre-modded it for me so let's let's pull

25
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,920
this out let's pull this out check this out check this

26
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:06,600
out oh yes my friends yes my friends

27
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:11,480
that is exactly what it looks like the

28
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:15,440
entire rear of a foru chassis taken up

29
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:18,480
entirely by expansion slots all right my

30
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:24,760
friends so let's take a quick tour of

31
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:26,280
this absolute Beast of a monster this is

32
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:32,080
I'm going to read it off it the super micro 4027

33
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:34,760
gr- t which actually which actually

34
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:41,080
isn't the right thing they told me they were sending the trt the one with the 10

35
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:43,239
GB network interface built and maybe

36
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:47,760
they included like an upgrade module or something so first of all this is cool

37
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:54,519
it includes four 1,600 wat power supplies yes

38
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:58,200
friends that is for all kinds of crazy power delivery along with redundancy

39
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:03,239
which is important in any kind of a server environment you can see there are

40
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,120
these tiny slim little units here let's

41
00:03:03,239 --> 00:03:14,400
uh let's see if we can read this baby yeah this is the DPS 1600 CB uh so the

42
00:03:09,239 --> 00:03:16,760
output is actually 1,600 Watts max if oh

43
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:23,519
this is interesting I have never seen a discrepancy like that before so at 120

44
00:03:20,599 --> 00:03:30,439
volt input it's 1,000 Watts Max and at 240 volt input it is 1,600 Watts

45
00:03:27,239 --> 00:03:32,560
Max very very interesting so I'm going

46
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:37,439
to have to make sure I run this baby on 240 volt input but in the meantime let's

47
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:42,680
see if super micro included like an upgrade module kit or something like

48
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:44,439
that uh these are our rails these are

49
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:51,360
those really nice rails that I like so we're going to go ahead and rail mount this baby in the rack and then in here

50
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:51,360
I'm hoping to find

51
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,720
um well nothing

52
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:10,560
apparently uh

53
00:04:06,519 --> 00:04:12,720
okay uh okay well let's open it up then

54
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:20,040
I guess oh but first no a tour of the

55
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:22,639
front so there's more to this there are

56
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:27,600
more tricks up this Baby's sleeves than just a bunch of video cards so This

57
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:33,520
Server will actually be taking the place of two servers because in addition to

58
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:40,840
accepting up to eight dual slot video cards it can also handle with these 2

59
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:43,039
and 1/2 in sleds 24 ssds so this will be

60
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:48,479
completely taking over wanic server duties in addition to being the new

61
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:52,240
output render station that we never actually properly finished because we

62
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:56,280
were trying to combine that one's duties with our inest station and that ended up

63
00:04:54,120 --> 00:05:00,000
causing instability issues due to different versions of Adobe Premiere

64
00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:04,680
from different years operating at same time long story anyway it was kind of

65
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:10,199
ugly and we are looking for a better way to do this so tooless uh top it looks

66
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:14,360
like let's find out if we can get this baby off oh no we need to unscrew some

67
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:18,440
things so it's only it only pretends to be

68
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:20,720
tooless check out this modification that

69
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:24,400
spoiler is actually there for a reason and I will explain it in a little while

70
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:33,440
here oh yes that that is

71
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,560
fun so uh here let's try and let's try

72
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:40,560
and sort these babies out a little bit see what we got see what we got going on

73
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:45,120
here so this motherboard

74
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:48,080
supports two LGA 20113 CPUs so we're

75
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:55,280
going to be putting our two 18 core 2699 v3s in here for a total of 36 cores and

76
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:57,639
on top of that it supports a total of 12

77
00:05:55,280 --> 00:06:03,720
dim slots you can see they were testing it they had uh looks like 16 dims in

78
00:06:01,039 --> 00:06:10,880
here before they sent it to me so 12 dim slots per CPU for a total of

79
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,680
244 dim slots that means with the 32 gig

80
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:19,280
dims that Kingston sent us for seven Gamers one CPU we could

81
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:22,440
put 32 time 24 whatever that works out

82
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:23,960
too inside here this is another really

83
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:30,039
cool feature that I wish would make its way to the desktop check out these

84
00:06:26,479 --> 00:06:31,800
fans these are uh no these are not the

85
00:06:30,039 --> 00:06:36,759
counter spinning fan so these are just regular old 92 mm fans except for one

86
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:42,120
thing do you notice that I just pulled it out where was the

87
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:45,080
connector servers have had this forever

88
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:49,479
hot swap fan so you just thunk them in and boom look at this you've got little

89
00:06:46,919 --> 00:06:53,400
slots all over the place here for all these different fan connectors check

90
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:58,639
this out and you can see they've actually got two stacks of them one in

91
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:04,039
front of the other in order to give these puppies pretty much unlimited

92
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:09,440
static pressure so they're pulling all that ventilation in uh from these holes

93
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:15,000
in the front here whoop hold on oh try not to drop this from these holes in the

94
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:17,199
front here as well as through where

95
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:22,240
those SSD mounts go so they got to have a ton of static pressure because these

96
00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:26,759
puppies are not just you know cooling some run-of-the-mill computer we're

97
00:07:23,919 --> 00:07:34,400
talking 36 processing cores a bunch of RAM and up to yes this is where life

98
00:07:30,919 --> 00:07:38,360
gets really interesting up to eight

99
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:40,400
graphics cards 1 2 3 4 1 2 three four

100
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:45,599
Each of which can be dual slot and then in addition to that it can handle

101
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:50,159
another three expansion cards of whatever type you desire so I actually

102
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:57,039
guess nothing would prevent you from putting 10 in here if you really really

103
00:07:53,879 --> 00:07:59,560
wanted to which is um which is sort of

104
00:07:57,039 --> 00:08:04,440
sort of bananas so let's go ahead and uh see what it'll look like with all those

105
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:08,280
installed okay you want to come with me while I go retrieve graphics cards all

106
00:08:06,159 --> 00:08:14,039
right so uh let's pick some video cards shall we let's go with uh what do we got

107
00:08:11,599 --> 00:08:20,520
here I don't know some kind of 290 or 390 or something all right what else we

108
00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:24,240
got here ooh a GTX 580 sure thing no

109
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:28,159
problem what else we got gtx980 yeah

110
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:30,879
let's take one of those and uh ooh a GTX

111
00:08:28,159 --> 00:08:35,959
780 Ti that sounds pretty good we got a good uh good representation of the

112
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:42,039
market share of these two graphics card companies all right take these back and

113
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:43,880
get them installed don't trip one really

114
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:50,440
cool thing I want to point out before we get any further in though is that most

115
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:52,560
of what you see up here is actually just

116
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:56,240
like like a like a dummy board like this is like a daughter board it's not

117
00:08:54,360 --> 00:09:03,079
there's not a ton of logic on it actually um it installs into the

118
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:06,680
motherboard which is below see down here

119
00:09:03,079 --> 00:09:08,920
using it looks like four hard PCB

120
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:11,880
bridges down here and then that's what does all the controlling so it's

121
00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:18,440
actually all mapped out for you so here's CPU 1 here's CPU 2 and then all

122
00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:26,440
of these are labeled right here so this is cpu1 slot one PCIe 3.01 16x cpu1 slot

123
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:30,160
10 okay well numbering doesn't make a ton of sense to me so far but it goes 1

124
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:39,399
10 9 8 uh uh 7 six 5 anyway so it says CPU 1

125
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:45,440
cpu2 and it's all kind of spelled out for you like that so let's start

126
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:49,279
installing video cards AMD and

127
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:51,640
NVIDIA living together in Perfect

128
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:55,360
Harmony I don't know how that song goes but I think you guys get the reference I

129
00:09:54,200 --> 00:10:02,560
don't even know if I'm going to be able to find enough video cards to fill this thing up this ridiculous okay so before

130
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:07,360
we put any more in I want to take a short break and give you guys a better

131
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:12,600
appreciation of the scale of what we're dealing with here this is a normal ATX

132
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:17,600
motherboard it can fit four graphics cards total if you include one here and

133
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:23,360
if you install one in the very bottom slot and have it overhang the bottom of the board so it look a little something

134
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:26,240
like that this is what we're dealing with

135
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:29,279
here it's ridiculous so let's keep the

136
00:10:27,959 --> 00:10:36,519
Ridiculousness up let's put some more graffics CS in let's put one here wow

137
00:10:32,279 --> 00:10:40,440
that's a long card but it fits just fine

138
00:10:36,519 --> 00:10:44,560
let's put one here let's put one

139
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:47,680
here oh balls this is a stupid modified

140
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:50,639
one from scrapyard Wars that I'll just

141
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:55,279
move it see it's not a standard width but that's okay there's so many

142
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:59,760
different spots for graphics cards server stuff all about that convenience

143
00:10:57,639 --> 00:11:06,079
no PCI Express locks you want to pull a card out boom you pull it out no big

144
00:11:02,959 --> 00:11:09,120
deal right

145
00:11:06,079 --> 00:11:10,720
there okay lonus but what about that

146
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:14,600
thing you promised us before you said you'd explain why this thing is a

147
00:11:12,519 --> 00:11:21,000
freaking humpback whale now just because we can install you know 69 90s like

148
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:22,920
crazy long cards like this doesn't mean

149
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:27,680
that you can install anything you want in a system like this and we are

150
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:34,200
somewhat Limited in terms of the height of our graphics cards because one of the

151
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:36,200
U's so U is your vertical vertical

152
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:39,800
measurement of height for a system like this one of the U's is taken up by all

153
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:43,800
those power supplies here at the back with only three left for graphics cards

154
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:49,600
that means any cards that are taller than standard are not going to fit

155
00:11:46,279 --> 00:11:52,639
within that 4u enclosure size what that

156
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:54,519
also means is that any cards that are

157
00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:59,279
designed with their power plugs coming out of the top of the card like this

158
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:03,120
would interfere with a flat top panel which is why we got this modified

159
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:09,200
humpback one there we go that is going to take up

160
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:14,079
a little bit of space above our server so let's go ahead and make sure that

161
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:17,160
that actually fits okay yes that fits

162
00:12:14,079 --> 00:12:19,760
perfectly with all of our graphics cards

163
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:24,120
love it so we've got big plans for this thing we're going to be doing a video

164
