WEBVTT 00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:08.120 on episode five of holy sh we've got a 00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:12.240 computer case so epic that it had to be 00:00:08.120 --> 00:00:14.519 delivered on a pallet rather than via 00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:18.320 normal means so of course we've brought with us the only tool suitable to open 00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:30.359 such a thing chopsticks 00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:35.680 the GTX 980 TI VR Edition from EVGA 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:40.520 provides an industry-leading Graphics experience as well as a 5 and a/4 inch 00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:43.920 Bay with easy access inputs for your VR device learn more at the link in the 00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:49.160 video description okay well that was obviously 00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:57.399 completely stupid let's go with the more traditional knife to open this baby up 00:00:52.879 --> 00:01:00.719 so inside this box is actually more than 00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:02.960 just a computer case in fact there's a 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:09.080 case a power supply and a motherboard yes my friends 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 00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:18.479 barebones server units that they sell 00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:20.560 but this one is very special one that I 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 00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:29.479 project and the only way that I could figure out to put seven graphics cards 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:33.920 into a single computer was to water cool the whole blood with all this like 00:01:31.880 --> 00:01:39.320 custom nonsense and I had to find the one motherboard on Earth that would work 00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:42.880 etc etc etc no my friends there was an 00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:47.330 easy way to do it all along all I had to 00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:48.880 do was get one of these bad 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 00:01:54.360 --> 00:01:57.920 this out let's pull this out check this out check this 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:06.600 out oh yes my friends yes my friends 00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:11.480 that is exactly what it looks like the 00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:15.440 entire rear of a foru chassis taken up 00:02:11.480 --> 00:02:18.480 entirely by expansion slots all right my 00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:24.760 friends so let's take a quick tour of 00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:26.280 this absolute Beast of a monster this is 00:02:24.760 --> 00:02:32.080 I'm going to read it off it the super micro 4027 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:34.760 gr- t which actually which actually 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 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:43.239 GB network interface built and maybe 00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:47.760 they included like an upgrade module or something so first of all this is cool 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:54.519 it includes four 1,600 wat power supplies yes 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:58.200 friends that is for all kinds of crazy power delivery along with redundancy 00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:03.239 which is important in any kind of a server environment you can see there are 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.120 these tiny slim little units here let's 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 00:03:09.239 --> 00:03:16.760 output is actually 1,600 Watts max if oh 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:23.519 this is interesting I have never seen a discrepancy like that before so at 120 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 00:03:27.239 --> 00:03:32.560 Max very very interesting so I'm going 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 00:03:35.640 --> 00:03:42.680 see if super micro included like an upgrade module kit or something like 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:44.439 that uh these are our rails these are 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 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:51.360 I'm hoping to find 00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:01.720 um well nothing 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:10.560 apparently uh 00:04:06.519 --> 00:04:12.720 okay uh okay well let's open it up then 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:20.040 I guess oh but first no a tour of the 00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:22.639 front so there's more to this there are 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:27.600 more tricks up this Baby's sleeves than just a bunch of video cards so This 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:33.520 Server will actually be taking the place of two servers because in addition to 00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:40.840 accepting up to eight dual slot video cards it can also handle with these 2 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:43.039 and 1/2 in sleds 24 ssds so this will be 00:04:40.840 --> 00:04:48.479 completely taking over wanic server duties in addition to being the new 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:52.240 output render station that we never actually properly finished because we 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:56.280 were trying to combine that one's duties with our inest station and that ended up 00:04:54.120 --> 00:05:00.000 causing instability issues due to different versions of Adobe Premiere 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:04.680 from different years operating at same time long story anyway it was kind of 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 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 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:18.440 things so it's only it only pretends to be 00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:20.720 tooless check out this modification that 00:05:18.440 --> 00:05:24.400 spoiler is actually there for a reason and I will explain it in a little while 00:05:25.080 --> 00:05:33.440 here oh yes that that is 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:35.560 fun so uh here let's try and let's try 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 00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:45.120 here so this motherboard 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:48.080 supports two LGA 20113 CPUs so we're 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 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:57.639 on top of that it supports a total of 12 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 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 00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:12.680 244 dim slots that means with the 32 gig 00:06:10.880 --> 00:06:19.280 dims that Kingston sent us for seven Gamers one CPU we could 00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:22.440 put 32 time 24 whatever that works out 00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:23.960 too inside here this is another really 00:06:22.440 --> 00:06:30.039 cool feature that I wish would make its way to the desktop check out these 00:06:26.479 --> 00:06:31.800 fans these are uh no these are not the 00:06:30.039 --> 00:06:36.759 counter spinning fan so these are just regular old 92 mm fans except for one 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:42.120 thing do you notice that I just pulled it out where was the 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:45.080 connector servers have had this forever 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 00:06:46.919 --> 00:06:53.400 slots all over the place here for all these different fan connectors check 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:58.639 this out and you can see they've actually got two stacks of them one in 00:06:56.520 --> 00:07:04.039 front of the other in order to give these puppies pretty much unlimited 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:09.440 static pressure so they're pulling all that ventilation in uh from these holes 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 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:17.199 front here as well as through where 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:22.240 those SSD mounts go so they got to have a ton of static pressure because these 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:26.759 puppies are not just you know cooling some run-of-the-mill computer we're 00:07:23.919 --> 00:07:34.400 talking 36 processing cores a bunch of RAM and up to yes this is where life 00:07:30.919 --> 00:07:38.360 gets really interesting up to eight 00:07:34.400 --> 00:07:40.400 graphics cards 1 2 3 4 1 2 three four 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:45.599 Each of which can be dual slot and then in addition to that it can handle 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:50.159 another three expansion cards of whatever type you desire so I actually 00:07:48.080 --> 00:07:57.039 guess nothing would prevent you from putting 10 in here if you really really 00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:59.560 wanted to which is um which is sort of 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 00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:08.280 installed okay you want to come with me while I go retrieve graphics cards all 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 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 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:24.240 got here ooh a GTX 580 sure thing no 00:08:20.520 --> 00:08:28.159 problem what else we got gtx980 yeah 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:30.879 let's take one of those and uh ooh a GTX 00:08:28.159 --> 00:08:35.959 780 Ti that sounds pretty good we got a good uh good representation of the 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:42.039 market share of these two graphics card companies all right take these back and 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:43.880 get them installed don't trip one really 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 00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:52.560 of what you see up here is actually just 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 00:08:54.360 --> 00:09:03.079 there's not a ton of logic on it actually um it installs into the 00:08:59.880 --> 00:09:06.680 motherboard which is below see down here 00:09:03.079 --> 00:09:08.920 using it looks like four hard PCB 00:09:06.680 --> 00:09:11.880 bridges down here and then that's what does all the controlling so it's 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 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 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 00:09:28.680 --> 00:09:39.399 10 9 8 uh uh 7 six 5 anyway so it says CPU 1 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 00:09:40.880 --> 00:09:49.279 installing video cards AMD and 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:51.640 NVIDIA living together in Perfect 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 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 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 00:10:04.800 --> 00:10:12.600 appreciation of the scale of what we're dealing with here this is a normal ATX 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:17.600 motherboard it can fit four graphics cards total if you include one here and 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 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:26.240 like that this is what we're dealing with 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:29.279 here it's ridiculous so let's keep the 00:10:27.959 --> 00:10:36.519 Ridiculousness up let's put some more graffics CS in let's put one here wow 00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:40.440 that's a long card but it fits just fine 00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:44.560 let's put one here let's put one 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:47.680 here oh balls this is a stupid modified 00:10:44.560 --> 00:10:50.639 one from scrapyard Wars that I'll just 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 00:10:52.760 --> 00:10:59.760 different spots for graphics cards server stuff all about that convenience 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 00:11:02.959 --> 00:11:09.120 deal right 00:11:06.079 --> 00:11:10.720 there okay lonus but what about that 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:14.600 thing you promised us before you said you'd explain why this thing is a 00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:21.000 freaking humpback whale now just because we can install you know 69 90s like 00:11:17.880 --> 00:11:22.920 crazy long cards like this doesn't mean 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:27.680 that you can install anything you want in a system like this and we are 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:34.200 somewhat Limited in terms of the height of our graphics cards because one of the 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:36.200 U's so U is your vertical vertical 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 00:11:37.880 --> 00:11:43.800 those power supplies here at the back with only three left for graphics cards 00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:49.600 that means any cards that are taller than standard are not going to fit 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:52.639 within that 4u enclosure size what that 00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:54.519 also means is that any cards that are 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:59.279 designed with their power plugs coming out of the top of the card like this 00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:03.120 would interfere with a flat top panel which is why we got this modified 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:09.200 humpback one there we go that is going to take up 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 00:12:11.040 --> 00:12:17.160 that actually fits okay yes that fits 00:12:14.079 --> 00:12:19.760 perfectly with all of our graphics cards 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 00:12:21.160 --> 00:12:28.480 where we explore uh who makes the best GPU for video encoding in Premiere so 00:12:27.040 --> 00:12:32.079 we're going to do like an AMD versus NVIDIA to head and show a bunch of 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:35.399 different classes of GPU find out if you even need a super powerful one we're 00:12:33.880 --> 00:12:40.240 going to be doing one where we have eight game streams running off of a 00:12:37.959 --> 00:12:45.560 single machine at a time that is going to be flipping sick and finally we are 00:12:43.680 --> 00:12:49.720 going to be maybe actually you guys let me know if you want to see this but 00:12:46.959 --> 00:12:54.800 maybe doing a Showcase of the final build that I do in here with the 24 ssds 00:12:52.760 --> 00:13:00.040 maybe it'll be like a follow-up holy episode rather than a normal release uh 00:12:57.160 --> 00:13:06.360 with all the ssds as well as all the graphics cards that we end up putting 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:08.760 into it and on that subject ifixit.com 00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:12.920 your complete DIY electronics repair

fix it product placement oh right there no actually I 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:33.040 was I was just using it today's highlight is the their all new 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:37.560 completely reimagined Protech tool kit it now includes their new 64-bit driver 00:13:35.560 --> 00:13:41.720 kit which replaced the former 54 bit driver kit meaning fewer roadblocks if 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:45.800 you don't have the right bit it's held in with magnets now the casing is more 00:13:44.079 --> 00:13:50.639 durable they've actually got some new prying tools and all the things that we 00:13:48.160 --> 00:13:55.560 have come to expect in the old protect tool kit that are super handy whether 00:13:52.880 --> 00:14:00.160 it's a metal spudger or an estd safety strap it's all in there and the best 00:13:57.680 --> 00:14:04.480 part is it's backed by iFix its lifetime warranty but wait there's more there's a 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:08.480 new best part if you guys head over to the link in the
