does this idling at 220 watts yes jeebus
now at the end of our pc pro video we told you guys that yeah it's awesome
but it lacks focus like it's not really
designed for a single task it's a middle
of the road performer for everything
not so with the creature that we are showing off today this is the camino rm
and it is designed for one thing and one thing only absolutely chewing
through video rendering it's got four
rtx 2080 tis a threadripper CPU and a
design like nothing else i have ever seen before
just like this segway is like nothing you've ever seen before this video is

to be clear i'm not saying this is a slow machine when we put our 32 000 pc
pro up against a 33 000 mac pro it was
twice as fast in our mark bench benchmark which is a project
that we created identically in both premiere pro and final cut to see how
fast a pc versus a mac could encode a video
however when we take a more specialized machine
can we beat the mac pro buy more
there's only one way to find out here we go time remaining oh wow it's
actually not a head by that much but it is ahead so far
man this new GPU encoding in adobe premiere really hits it doesn't it we're
seeing GPU usage as high as 50 70.
i saw 80 for a second there and that's all four of the rtx 2080 ti's what's our
power draw on that oh a cool 760 watts
really that's all that's it huh yeah it's efficient
i think a big part of it is just that it's running a threadripper rather than
an epic because instead of running it three gigahertz and change boost this
puppy is boosting to four four point four point two five gigahertz it's a 32
core processor it's nuts oh and it's done oh and it's done
let's check the times and coding time one minute 45 for the camino
151 for the pc pro we've got a victory
now it's still pretty expensive at around fifteen
thousand dollars but this kind of custom chassis work and the water cooling
that's inside it does not come cheap and
it still costs about half as much as the
pc pro let's go on wow okay i was not expecting
this uh we only have one license for solidworks visualize but apparently it's
given us a little bit of leeway on that right now so the purpose of this program is to
take a project that you've created and render it in like a super cool photo
realistic way for promotional imagery so we're going to go ahead and take this
camaro which is included with the program and we are going to output it
and click right there right so that just brings up the thing and make sure the
passes yeah make those each a thousand a hundred thousand passes oh my lord
enable denoiser ouch you ready are we gonna blow breaker alex i don't
know are they hooked up to different breakers i'm not entirely sure
oh snap okay well the cpus are going the gpus haven't kicked in we're at holy
we're at 300 watts how is it even doing that it's not even hitting those gpus or
so it thinks it must be yeah task manager has to be confused
whoa
hey i mean why buy a space heater for your bedroom
for the winter just pick up one of these puppies
holy crap this is only halfway through
its passes and this one is done
it goes to show you that if your workload just relies on raw GPU muscle
a quadro is not going to do anything for you that a g-force can to put this in
perspective we are twice the performance of our pc pro which was 36 times the
speed of the mac pro and
we're half the price while we wait around for the pc pro to finish let's
set it to a hundred thousand passes let's start up the render again and have
a look at the incredible cooling system
in the camino rm here when i filmed my initial unboxing of
this thing on our ShortCircuit channel go subscribe by the way
all i could really say was what am i even looking at here because
you got your CPU with this crazy custom block they've designed on it you've got
a loop whose order kind of makes no sense like it splits out and then half
of the water goes to the CPU and the other half goes to the four gpus which
are all in like these little like GPU sandwiches
under the motherboard and then you've got these incredible shielded pci
express risers that actually run around
to the underside of the motherboard tray leaving the top of the system looking
really clean well as it turns out we've been in touch with them and they've
explained every funny thing that we noticed about the design and it was all
with the intention of creating a rendering and ai
just brood of a machine that is still standalone so it doesn't require like a
chilled air cooling system in a data center or anything like that and
reasonably quiet so the reason that they went with these 140
millimeter Noctua ppc 3000 RPM fans is
that they've got a great combination of both airflow moving capacity and static
pressure so they've got this seal here on the back so that the triple 120
millimeter radiator is able to get all of the air moving through it instead of
spilling out around it the reasoning behind the triple sfx 750 watt power
supplies basically came down to avoiding
atx power supplies because they would have interfered with them being able to
fit the triple radiator and also avoiding noisy redundant server style
power supplies which are well noisy
whoa hey okay now we ran this benchmark in a room
temperature room so about 22 degrees celsius 23 degrees celsius for an hour
and a half to give the system all the time it needed to reach equilibrium and
they managed 77 degrees at the highest
for our CPU and a maximum of just 66
degrees for our hottest GPU so as crazy
as it sounds initially to split up your coolant flow
uh half to the CPU and half to four gpus
it looks like that was the right move the benefits of a water cooling system
like this are two-fold one is that each
of these four gpus it's crazy it only looks like two gpus doesn't it because
they're like they're sandwiched together each of them was turboing to 1800
megahertz during that long intensive test and
according to kamino anyway they can be quickly and easily swapped out for
maintenance without even draining the water cooling loop which i'm kind of
looking at going um really
cause what am i even looking at here uh the gpus are all kind of on a tray that
comes out oh there's the security torx there okay well i'm a little worried that nope
that's gonna happen come on baby
come on you can do it don't be shy oh there we go what's it
stuck on you know maybe you just need to just force it
okay i see their point but i'm also not a
hundred percent sure that i agree with it yes you could strip the cooler off of
another 2080 ti take that bare
pcb slop it on there and uh in practice
i think that opportunities to change out graphics cards without draining the loop
would be few and far between because you
know if you wanted to upgrade for example you would obviously need to replace the block um do you do should we
pull a card off and just have a look at the block i'm sure can i do it
right now it's held on by only thermal compound
which seems fine
fine alex just chill
oh interesting that is a very unusual approach normally
manufacturers don't try to get the tolerances so tight on their copper
blocks and they use a pad for memory instead of
thermal compound and actually you can see the wisdom of that so there's some
there's some learnings in here for camino you can see that the contact
between these memory chips and the block is not actually amazing one of the
reasons for that is that when you're mounting uh surface mount bga components
like these gpus the tolerances can be a little bit off and it's far more
important you have good contact on the GPU because these memory chips don't
actually output that much heat you can see their GPU contact is excellent so
what they'd probably be better off with in a future revision of this block is
bringing this part down just fraction of
a millimeter and then using pads for these just like they do with the voltage
regulators and mosfets and all that kind of stuff we can take a moment now to
appreciate camino's pci express daughter
board riser card thing so what's really
neat about these is they allow them with just these skinny
uh rounded connectors so instead of the like big flat pci express extenders to
take a full 16x slot worth of bandwidth
around the motherboard around to the back of the motherboard tray these right
here each handle 8x worth of bandwidth so if you hook up just one of them you
would have an 8x slot and if you hook up the second one you've got the full 16x
bandwidth to your card which might not be that important for gaming but for
compute applications which is exactly what they're doing here that's
absolutely critical you want as much bandwidth to the slot as you can get i
figured it out alex there's angled screws down here angled screws angled
they're hiding ah oh lordy
oh whoa hey hi ho hey how's it going
is how the power supplies come out while i'm not sure i quite buy it on the
graphics cards power supply swaps do appear to be
pretty much as simple as pippity poppity modular interface screw
in a new one and you're ready to rock we are back up and running so we're going
to do our last benchmark against our 32 000 pc this is octane bench this is a
GPU rendering benchmark let's go ahead and have a look at our
usage here okay they're both fast
so that's nice and a big surprise to absolutely no one
the camino rm crushinated the pc pro
with that said as we said about the pc
pro in our original video it's an all-rounder so if we were to run into a
situation where we were working on a project or a data set that was so big
that we need more than 11 gigabytes of video memory
the pc pro would absolutely pull out ahead so this is more of a lesson in
buying the right tool for the job than it is necessarily just a sales pitch for
the camino rm it's a super cool machine
but unless you absolutely know you need one of these i probably wouldn't call
them up and uh you know send them a purchase order that said i would love to
use this as our video rendering server it's freaking fast just like the speed
