00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:04,340
- Hello. My name is Jake. You got some two and a half inch hard drive SSDs,

2
00:00:04,340 --> 00:00:09,330
heat sinks, IRI, fix it, screwdriver. You ever had been stabbed with a Torx bit?

3
00:00:09,330 --> 00:00:12,810
Put that in the video. In this box is the fastest

4
00:00:12,810 --> 00:00:16,000
dual processor computer on the planet.

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,304
Were you expecting more? Because that's all it is.

6
00:00:19,304 --> 00:00:23,910
It's fast. And it's sent over by our friends Wendell at Level 1 Techs.

7
00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:27,240
- How's it going? - You should go check him out because this is technically

8
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,773
property of AMD, but he sent it anyways. Thanks man.

9
00:00:31,670 --> 00:00:35,760
Also, this video is sponsored by Pulseway More on that later. I don't know what's in here

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,950
Oh, I see what this is. So this server would have came

11
00:00:38,950 --> 00:00:43,278
in like a specific configuration from AMD, but Wendell did some slight modifications

12
00:00:43,278 --> 00:00:46,950
because he's had it for a few years. So he actually sent us a little SFP module

13
00:00:46,950 --> 00:00:50,340
because I think there's a 10 gig SFP card in there,

14
00:00:50,340 --> 00:00:54,760
so a network card. So we'll keep that just in case we need that. Pass for accessories.

15
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,800
It's not exactly anything interesting.

16
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,320
We've got some two and a half inch hard drive screws and some three and a half inch hard drive screws

17
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,770
Really three and a half? Where would you even? Let's see, I don't think you could even fit

18
00:01:04,770 --> 00:01:09,250
three and a half inch hard drive on this thing. You got some nice closed cell phone packaging,

19
00:01:09,250 --> 00:01:14,200
even though you totally can't buy the server. And there she is.

20
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,933
See very nice and shut. Oh, oh Wendell. Oh, you didn't feel it.

21
00:01:23,491 --> 00:01:27,445
Oh, I feel the static. Look at my ARM hairs.

22
00:01:27,445 --> 00:01:33,030
Yeah, baby. Let's go. It feels good to be fast.

23
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:39,350
So looking at this thing on the outside, this is shockingly similar to our current WANic 3 server.

24
00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:43,000
Or if you're a psychopath, you might call it a new new WANic.

25
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,270
Or if you're a liquid, you might call it the Badger Den

26
00:01:46,270 --> 00:01:49,420
but it's effectively kind of the same package.

27
00:01:49,420 --> 00:01:53,890
You have two epic CPU's; in our case, these are also 64 core

28
00:01:53,890 --> 00:01:58,140
and our current one is also 64 core. So that's a total of 128 in both of them

29
00:01:58,140 --> 00:02:02,900
Pop these off. You can see a metric boat load of RAM slots.

30
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:07,704
This system only has about half of them populated right now. I think this is 512 gigs of RAM

31
00:02:07,704 --> 00:02:10,120
and would have been like similar to how this

32
00:02:11,238 --> 00:02:15,120
this system would have shipped from the manufacturer. And it's not a system that you would buy

33
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,660
like this isn't something, you know data center buddy would put on order.

34
00:02:18,660 --> 00:02:23,280
This is actually a reference system. So similar to how you get like a reference graphics card

35
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:29,860
from NVIDIA, where it's sort of the same design. If you get it from PNY, you get it from EVGA,

36
00:02:29,860 --> 00:02:34,820
a reference card is going to be pretty much the same. And that's because the design was actually set up by NVIDIA.

37
00:02:34,820 --> 00:02:39,760
And in this case, this was actually a project between AMD and Quanto, which is a major server ODM.

38
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,420
They would sort of design this system in partnership and they would send them out to your Dell, your HP,

39
00:02:44,420 --> 00:02:50,134
your Gigabyte so they can base their servers off of this. And you can kind of tell because the Dell system we have

40
00:02:50,134 --> 00:02:54,960
in our server room looks very similar to this. Like even down to the fans, popping out,

41
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,223
they're in the same place. They got a plastic shroud over the CPU's.

42
00:02:58,223 --> 00:03:01,410
I mean, I guess she can't really do it too many ways.

43
00:03:01,410 --> 00:03:06,090
There's only so many ways you can design a box but it does look pretty similar.

44
00:03:06,090 --> 00:03:09,110
Although the CPU's in this system are very new.

45
00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:12,570
The actual chassis is not a recent release.

46
00:03:12,570 --> 00:03:16,600
This Daytona chassis, as AMD calls it, was actually released with Epic Rome,

47
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,830
or the last generation, but a it's seen a BIOS update

48
00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:26,290
and I guess was built with the power spec in mind that it can handle these 280 watt each CPU's.

49
00:03:26,290 --> 00:03:28,670
And I guess while we're in here, we might as well

50
00:03:29,579 --> 00:03:35,062
start taking it apart. Very like Dell-esk with the blue markers

51
00:03:35,062 --> 00:03:38,130
to sort of indicate things you can actually touch

52
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:41,331
with your hands, like here you're supposed to hold there to pull out

53
00:03:41,331 --> 00:03:46,150
or here you're supposed to push this or whatever. They usually use blue to mark it, but this is pretty crazy.

54
00:03:46,150 --> 00:03:50,833
You see the CPU coolers? They, I guess, didn't have quite enough gumption

55
00:03:50,833 --> 00:03:57,100
in this spot that they put a heat pipe out to have a little like satellite heat sink.

56
00:03:57,100 --> 00:04:00,890
Look at that. That's what's so weird. - [David] I've never seen that.

57
00:04:00,890 --> 00:04:05,130
- Yeah, they look like little like antennas. I suppose I might've been teasing you guys

58
00:04:05,130 --> 00:04:08,380
a little bit too much. If you haven't guessed already what's underneath here

59
00:04:08,380 --> 00:04:14,805
is two of AMD's latest Milan CPU's and it sounds kind of like a fancy place

60
00:04:14,805 --> 00:04:18,510
but it's actually a processor, it's a family of processors.

61
00:04:18,510 --> 00:04:21,720
And in this case we have two, like I said 64 core before,

62
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,720
we have 2 64 core, what are they? 7763's I think.

63
00:04:26,730 --> 00:04:31,990
The absolute top of the line Milan CPU so. With those CPU's that should make this the

64
00:04:31,990 --> 00:04:35,910
fastest system basically on the planet, assuming you only have two CPU

65
00:04:35,910 --> 00:04:40,540
since they're the fastest in themselves and you put two it's gotta be the fastest with two, right?

66
00:04:40,540 --> 00:04:44,760
And here they are. Woah, what the heck? Have you ever seen blue thermal paste?

67
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,300
- Nope. - What the hell? I've never seen thermal paste like that before.

68
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:55,110
Okay, so we got the CPU's all cleaned up and oh look at those 7763.

69
00:04:55,110 --> 00:04:59,234
That thing costs like $8,000 and there's two of them.

70
00:04:59,234 --> 00:05:03,100
Oh.

71
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:08,100
There's something about just holding 10 grand in your hands that never really gets old.

72
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:13,871
So this is a 64 core, 128 thread. Like I mentioned before, it's got a 2.45 gigahertz base,

73
00:05:13,871 --> 00:05:18,552
a 3.5 gigahertz boost, on 64 cores.

74
00:05:18,552 --> 00:05:24,478
And unlike the previous generation Rome CPU's, this guy, at least there's, there's a couple

75
00:05:24,478 --> 00:05:29,060
that they released like halfway through that could do it, but this one can do 280 Watts

76
00:05:29,060 --> 00:05:32,804
which is just a mind numbing amount of power for one CPU,

77
00:05:32,804 --> 00:05:38,172
especially when you consider there's another one. And now one of the concerns I originally had

78
00:05:38,172 --> 00:05:42,060
with this chassis is because it's from the previous generation, it wouldn't be able to do that much power,

79
00:05:42,060 --> 00:05:46,510
but, you know, according to Wendell, it will do it no problem.

80
00:05:46,510 --> 00:05:50,447
Before we start up, we should probably go over a few other interesting things here.

81
00:05:50,447 --> 00:05:55,185
You want to take a look at the RAM that Wendell included for us 32 gigs of micron 3,200.

82
00:05:55,185 --> 00:05:59,270
Yeah, that sounds about right. That's of the, the standard for epic.

83
00:05:59,270 --> 00:06:03,480
You need that crazy fast RAM to keep those CPU's fed. What have we got on the back here?

84
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,269
Let's check out the power supply situation. Your typical redundant power supplies set up.

85
00:06:08,269 --> 00:06:11,380
And a thousand Watt platinum.

86
00:06:11,380 --> 00:06:14,810
That's pretty good. I don't think this is as much as are WANic 3

87
00:06:14,810 --> 00:06:18,150
but I don't think this server is set up for doing GPU stuff

88
00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:22,220
so a thousand Watts is plenty for the 500 Watts of CPU

89
00:06:22,220 --> 00:06:25,385
and probably like a hundred Watts of fans.

90
00:06:25,385 --> 00:06:28,440
These are 12 volt, three amp.

91
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,532
So you're looking 36 Watts. - [David] Whoa.

92
00:06:32,718 --> 00:06:38,008
- [Jono] Are those blowie-matrons? - Yeah. These probably blow at like 15,000 RPM.

93
00:06:38,008 --> 00:06:41,640
So what there's three of them. Yeah. That's that's a Wattage just for fans.

94
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,460
I guess on the back the server doesn't really have anything pre-configured

95
00:06:45,460 --> 00:06:50,510
but Wendell did throw in a 25 gig card down there. You can see that SFP 28 connections for that.

96
00:06:50,510 --> 00:06:52,610
Oh, there's one more thing I wanted to do.

97
00:06:58,207 --> 00:07:04,250
Oh yeah. Alright, let's start this thing up. after our message from our sponsor, Pulseway.

98
00:07:04,250 --> 00:07:08,449
- With Pulseway's remote monitoring and management software, you'll be the first to know when a user has an issue

99
00:07:08,449 --> 00:07:12,650
or when there's a problem with your IT environment. Pulseway gives you out of the box commands

100
00:07:12,650 --> 00:07:17,271
to take actions such as killing processes, resetting user passwords, running PowerShell commands, backing up files,

101
00:07:17,271 --> 00:07:20,854
and even remote control. With powerful auto remediation,

102
00:07:20,854 --> 00:07:25,781
Pulseway can automatically resolve critical IT issues like low disk space, high CPU usage,

103
00:07:25,781 --> 00:07:29,830
and even restart your services. And the best part is you can do this all

104
00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:33,700
from their mobile app or from your desktop fully featured regardless of the platform.

105
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:36,730
- So try for free today at pulseway.com or check out the link in the description.

106
00:07:36,730 --> 00:07:40,230
And, just to make it a little bit easier for you, we're even going to install it on this machine

107
00:07:40,230 --> 00:07:43,838
and show you how it works briefly. It's pretty sweet. - [Jono] There you go.

108
00:07:43,838 --> 00:07:47,043
- [David] There we go. - Ah, it was magic. It was all me.

109
00:07:47,043 --> 00:07:51,690
I did it. Boom. Yeah. This is the quiet mode. (laughter)

110
00:07:51,690 --> 00:07:57,899
Oh look, whoa. That is the, the most half-assed boot icon ever.

111
00:07:58,220 --> 00:08:01,540
They must've been like "Hey we can put up, we can put up a boot image on the BIOS"

112
00:08:01,540 --> 00:08:05,579
and then AMD was like, "Oh, let me just look at download Google images, Epic logo."

113
00:08:05,579 --> 00:08:09,940
They didn't even bother to make it black.

114
00:08:09,940 --> 00:08:13,740
Oh, what? You see this? Did you see this?

115
00:08:13,740 --> 00:08:17,020
- [David] Yeah, I saw it. - It said lgdstore.com? Dammit Wendell.

116
00:08:17,020 --> 00:08:22,610
- [David] What's up with this? - Ah, there's no drivers probably.

117
00:08:22,610 --> 00:08:26,870
Alright, we don't have internet. Dammit.

118
00:08:26,870 --> 00:08:30,290
Oh, actually he sent us a thing just for that. - [David] Oh, Wendell.

119
00:08:30,290 --> 00:08:34,530
- Wendell. I did it again with the SOT modules. Oh.

120
00:08:34,530 --> 00:08:37,930
I honestly actually don't even know if this will work, but we're going to try it.

121
00:08:37,930 --> 00:08:43,300
Oh, it's blinking. It's doing things. Oh man, we're doing CPU and coding.

122
00:08:43,300 --> 00:08:46,520
I don't know if this thing can handle it. Actually. I kind of want to see what this looks like.

123
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,793
Ten percent, that's quite a bit. You hear the fan kicking up?

124
00:08:50,793 --> 00:08:52,376
- [David] Wow. Huh.

125
00:08:53,870 --> 00:08:57,883
- You know, you have a lot cores when you have to scroll through them.

126
00:08:59,070 --> 00:09:02,630
Either way, that's a lot of cores.

127
00:09:02,630 --> 00:09:06,867
And a lot of RAM, like 512 gigs. Having this many cores, it starts to beg the question of

128
00:09:06,867 --> 00:09:12,200
"what do you use this for?" I mean, for us, we have a similar set up

129
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,390
It's CPU, sitting at like 5%, most of the time.

130
00:09:15,390 --> 00:09:18,980
We just like it for the PCIe bandwidth. But if you're gonna use this in the real world,

131
00:09:18,980 --> 00:09:22,520
this is a system you'd probably do some like machine learning computation on,

132
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,200
or you might have it in a slightly different chassis with multiple GPU's.

133
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,953
So you can actually make use of those PCA lanes or super, super fast storage.

134
00:09:29,953 --> 00:09:34,020
Well, it wouldn't be a sponsored video with Pulseway if we didn't install Pulseway

135
00:09:34,020 --> 00:09:37,690
and I'll show you just how easy it is. We'll go to Pulseway.com.

136
00:09:37,690 --> 00:09:41,174
Probably should have looked Oh, Resources, Downloads Look, I didn't even know where I was looking

137
00:09:41,174 --> 00:09:46,010
and I still found it that easily. Pulseway for Windows. Download.

138
00:09:46,010 --> 00:09:49,380
Come on super fast server. I know you can do it. Next.

139
00:09:49,380 --> 00:09:53,880
I agree. Sign my life away. Bada bing, bada boom.

140
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,580
Pulseway's installed. Oh, I still gotta log in, but it's installed.

141
00:09:58,580 --> 00:10:03,705
Alright, so we got it installed. You can see WANic 3 here, eighty-five days, that's not bad update time.

142
00:10:03,705 --> 00:10:07,183
(laughter) I think the last time it went down was the Windows updates. But yeah, here, look at that.

143
00:10:07,183 --> 00:10:11,790
We've got our 0% CPU usage. We got so much RAM.

144
00:10:11,790 --> 00:10:16,200
It's like five hundred eleven gigabytes out of five hundred and twenty.

145
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,290
Oof. You can see lots of stuff in here. You've got your hardware

146
00:10:19,290 --> 00:10:23,900
so we can see our temps and our fan speeds. Wow. Even, oh, you see the CPA's are hot.

147
00:10:23,900 --> 00:10:28,460
Seventy two degrees. The like very quiet studio mode

148
00:10:28,460 --> 00:10:34,616
just makes these things cook. Oh wow. It even shows you like your SEDA remaining lifespan

149
00:10:34,616 --> 00:10:39,770
from your smart statistics. That's very cool. You can see printers, storage.

Here, let's do this Windows update. We'll just force it to Windows update. Four updates found.

151
00:10:44,460 --> 00:10:47,660
Cool. Restart. Oh, actually, no, I don't want to do that.

152
00:10:47,660 --> 00:10:51,160
There's nobody else recording. Dang it. Ah, here lock, monitor.

153
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,704
I'm locking the desktop. Look at that. It locked.

154
00:10:54,704 --> 00:10:58,990
- [David] What? - Look. The point is Pulseway gives you a ton

155
00:10:58,990 --> 00:11:02,480
of control, analytics, everything you could possibly want

156
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,710
as an IT system administrator. And you can do it all from the comfort of your home,

157
00:11:07,710 --> 00:11:10,820
sitting on your bum on your phone. You know, if you're working from home

158
00:11:10,820 --> 00:11:15,608
because there's a pandemic, but, if not, you can also do it on the website.

159
00:11:15,608 --> 00:11:19,744
It's great. Check it out at the link in the description or pulseway.com.

160
00:11:19,744 --> 00:11:23,440
So unfortunately, while this is very performance oriented,

161
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,400
it's supposed to break records, I can't show you any of that yet.

162
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,270
Stay tuned for the full LDT video where we're actually gonna, you know, do the Cinebench,

163
00:11:32,270 --> 00:11:37,870
apparently above a hundred thousand RAM. Like just crazy stuff like that in the LDT video,

164
00:11:37,870 --> 00:11:42,490
but for now, thanks for checking out this video. If you like really cool bleeding edge technology,

165
00:11:42,490 --> 00:11:45,890
maybe check out the video I did on Starlink. Thanks to Pulseway for sponsoring it.

166
00:11:45,890 --> 00:11:49,200
Definitely check them out in the description and we'll see you on the next one.

167
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,283
Get subscribed baby.
