holy crap balls this
oh is the fanless Epic 32 core system we
saw an article about it on the internet somewhere I think it was uh a non Tech
yeah oh come on it's the only one in the world oh
jeez and we're going to check it out and this video is brought to you by
glass wire with glass wire you can see your current and past network activity

offer code Linus to get 25% off at the link
below okay it came to us all the way
from China and there is basically no
documentation whatsoever but Alex with
the help of Andy who apparently was actually needed as a translator managed
to get
what okay so the first thing we find in the Box aside from some adorable air
cushions is a
gigantic quad heat pipe cooler of some
sort so it's got like a foam jammed in here so that it doesn't get accidentally
bent in shipping it's got what looks like some kind of like mounting Brack
ret doad like spacer thing and then four
of the thickest heat pipes that I think I have ever seen on a computer cooler
like this is right up there with what you'd get on like a really high-end CPU
Cooler so this right here is what
everyone gets with this chassis but
that's not what we have in here okay then oh do you want to know
the weight of our CPU heat sink it's 2 and 1/2 kg
really yeah so it has a 5B CPU Cooler on
it y what's inside box number
two so we've got some machined aluminum
feet a bunch of little custom tiny heat
sinks look like they're for RAM chips and Moss vets some of those adapter
plates presumably that you're were talking about before there's for am4 a
PCI Express extension some kind of cold
plate of some sort is that VGA looks
like it must cuz it's got like an adjustable screw pattern here and free
screwdrivers we do need to like send this to the person that actually owns it
really yeah wait someone bought this system and then they just like sent it
to us first well yeah pretty
much guess I better be careful with it yep that's it for accessory boxes all
right let's put the feed on I guess yeah yeah good call okay it's so heavy yeah
the case alone is 10 kg okay you know
the great thing about aluminum is that it's really
lightweight until you have enough of it it gets
heavy the whole left and right side of the chassis are these gigantic aluminum
fins for cooling and there seems to be more to it than just that
so when you're using passive convection
cooling you kind of rely on the the heat from the fins to raise the air to bring
cool air in this way so it seems like it's actually using the front so some
heat sink we can't see to have heat rise
up this way and then o get drawn in from
the bottom can you point where it gets drawn in at the bottom no no the Y right
here thank you okay oh we can already see some
hints of the sex appeal of this thing
that is a gigantic SL lab of copper on top of the
CPU I don't even I don't even actually get that like well we can get to that
once we get in there okay all right all right all right all right all right we can open it up now so at risk of scaring
off some of our viewers how much is one of these going to cost about 1,000 bucks
oh that's it for the chassis ah I see I
see there is a lot more heat sink around
the front it's more heat sink than men
let's do a quick tour of the internals here so this is apparent ly a 32 core
AMD epic processor is that what we've gotten here
7551 unfreaking real we've got eight
sticks of what appears to be Samsung 32
gig modules so that gives us a total of
256 gigs of memory curiously a handful
of them have copper spreaders on them and the others don't did they offer any
explanation for that so I talked to the guy that made it and he said those are
toys and I had three of them is that like a Lost in Translation issue or like
a nope nope yeah I think they were just having fun yeah okay the motherboard is
just a pretty standard super micro Affair it's like a server slw
workstation board uh not a ton of IO like a server board and it's got Remote
Management like a server board but you could use it as a workstation board because it's got lots of PCI Express
Lots most of them are covered though by our graphics card right here and I
actually don't know what this is I would guess a 2060 or something 2070 this is a
weird cooling configuration so we'll start with the CPU it's got what appears
to be a giant solid brick of copper
mounted to it is that correct yep that's the 2 and 1/2 kgam okay then it's got
these four big heat pipes like the ones that we saw in that package that we took
out and then it's got this top aluminum hold down plate and then it's just got
like what looks to be about another pound of thermal compound gooped in into
the gaps and then this is smooshed on with these 8 hex screws am I am i y
catching it all so far what's quite curious to me is that there's actually
room in here for four more heat pipes it's because apparently when you make a
case like this the hard part isn't the thermals it's just
compatibility oh so depending on where the socket is you can kind of put these
heat pipes like wherever yeah so he had like a great big chart of the SOA
position of all of the different motherboards and kind of had to plan out
how this is made based around where it's going to be on all of the different
motherboards got it so these four seem
to go over here okay so this is
basically taking away a bunch of the CPU heat and then these ones are interesting
so these seem to go all the way over to
the front here and then this heat sink
is connected to this heat sink
with these heat pipes that go all the way from here all the way around to here
like that must be a 2T heat pipe and
they're all 8 mm too like those are not small these are heat
tunnels that's his joke no that was Twitter's joke actually Twitter's joke
all right well I'm not taking responsibility for that as for our
graphics card over here this also gets 4 8 mm heat pipes with a similar cooling
configuration so so these two pipes go up this way these ones come all the way
down to the bottom here now these are actually two separate heat sinks so
we've got one 2 3 four five six sort of
cooling units here and then once again we've got big long ones that go all the
way from the end of this one to the end of the front one so really the primary
coolers for both the CPU and the GPU are
the side ones and then this third one is
accessible to both of them for over spilled in the Anon Tech article yes it
actually said that after a 22-hour full CPU full GPU neither of them throttled
really they've gone and put just a bunch of what looks like kind of commodity
Cheapo aluminum heat sinks onto their
custom plate with just thermal compound
am I missing something here no and so
for some gpus they'll have like their own cooler but for others they'll create
these completely custom ones like this right here power supply now I see you've
got a couple of options for power supplies over there yeah so it
officially supports sfx power supplies
but I really want to just see if we can fit in the fanless power supply cuz you
know it's framess that's full ATX isn't it yeah but there's like some holes here
okay let's try it actually one more thing about the case you know how you said that this right here and like these
two bits are two different bits do you want to know why that is uh cuz it was
too big to manufacture a bigger one oh it's actually because why a lot of
fanless case makers go under is just because of quality control so like each
one of these is super expensive to make
and if they get scratched at all it's a complete write off because people that
buy fanless cases are really really yeah
if you scratch one of them up you can pull one of them off yeah or you can
even flip it around and put the scratch on the inside where they're not going to
see it hopefully I didn't scratch up the front of this case while I had it sitting on
its front then all right power supply time that's probably my favorite Power
Supply on the market so oh the fanless S Plus titanium one it's just so cool and
you were right that is what those holes appeared to
before wow this is a tight fit no wonder
they have these little rubber pads on the top of the CPU Cooler so the power
supply actually sits right on here I
just noticed how balling these scre are eating he's like I have a feeling it's
for that there's literally a baggie in the box that I literally just saw that
bag no you're no you you sound like you're talking to the cops they don't
believe you oh that's not my bag I was holding it for a friend I just saw it
for the first time in my life I never saw that bag before in my life that's it
just add water or a power supply and an
SSD well but do you know how you can add water yes LTT Store.com
got a wide mouth we'll be back in a sec do we have
any towels okay thanks
Matias I'm to trth time you ready
yep sort of anticlimactic isn't it yeah there's just nothing ikvm doesn't
support add-on oh I think that's why they were saying we might have to
actually disconnect the discret graphics card oh look do I look like I want to do
it the thermal paste I know okay we need
to find jumper JPB one got it tell me
you're working so it's just getting random gobble inputs from nothing you're
just supposed to short those pins in between the ipmi thing
and that's so stupid I hate it they two
so they wanted Ami native support for these two there's a dead mosquito in
here we're going to see it for it hey there it
is that was so much easier yeah now that
the BIOS is updated it's no problem whatsoever can I cover it
now you know what's the most surprising thing about this machine to me what the
fact that I can't hear it at all even no
coil noise maximum temp is in the 31 to 32° range that's pretty sweet you are
officially hotter than this computer oh thank you yeah it looks like that at
idol it's like 36 degrees now let's go ahead and hit it with what just a CPU
load to start with yeah I mean this is probably going to take a minute to heat
up just because there's so much metal hey yep well it's a 51 right now you
might say the system's pretty
metal should we come back in 20 minutes I guess so
okay it's been going full bore for what
is nearly an hour now 1185 MHz core so
that's awesome we're right up at 80° so that's running ooh that's
toasty woo W it's up around 60° Now
ladies and gentlemen what was our Peak CPU temperature um 88° all right so yeah
we're up against the limits for sure wow even this plate is hot oh yeah wow that
is really toasty yeah it's at 46° we ran
into issues in the past where our load reduced dims were running at over 100°
unless we actively cooled them these are actually doing surprisingly okay up
around 90 I didn't say it was great right how's our GP I mean GPU is looking
fine but oh boy is there ever some toasty stuff in there holy crap that's
dangerous that card is running an excess of
130° c in there it's 128 way over here
and that's not even the toasty part what is that is that the network card yeah I
believe that's the yeah network card confirmed brutal where's our m.2 funny
relative to how hot other things in the system are it seems to be running cool
but it's actually well in excess of 80° hey power supp is doing great yeah good
job seic honestly from a gaming standpoint though none of that's really
a downer cuz you don't need a 10 gig land card you don't need all 24 of your
CPU cores active while you're running a game or whatever else the case may be
yep and a shock to No One this works really well now the GPU
side that's still pretty toasty but yeah CPU side is not suffering quite so much
that's awesome yeah I mean it's everything I expected an RTX 2070 to be
yeah so thanks for watching guys if you like this video you could check out
maybe Alex's review of the comp lab oh
yeah that thing sick yeah that thing is comp lab airtop is that what it's called
it's another passive PC but unlike this one it's actually super small
thumbnail this is so hot right now look
at my hands getting grilled boys
