WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.160
is this your static safe CPU storage that is area

00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:09.839
so statically safe what is an insulator unless it's wet in which case it's not

00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:15.759
okay it's only like a thousand dollar CPU

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:22.000
like realistically you're gonna drop it anyway so like so inside this box is one

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:27.680
of the most bizarre products to ever land in our inbox i

00:00:25.279 --> 00:00:32.320
think both Jake and i had exactly the same reaction Gigabyte sends out this

00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:37.200
press release and they're like you guys we have water-cooled

00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:41.840
overclockable servers and we were both like we need that

00:00:40.239 --> 00:00:45.680
well no i think the first thing i said was but why

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:50.890
i definitely just wanted it and if you do have that can we use it to replace

00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:52.079
our networked video transcode server

00:00:52.079 --> 00:01:05.360
so we are going to answer all of those questions and more

00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:09.520
okay uh who's taking it uh well i was just

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:14.640
gonna here it's all you classic you take it i got it yeah yeah just go for it i

00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:19.520
believe in you okay that's not too bad

00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:23.759
so the first thing we notice about this

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:30.000
after that it includes some handy toolless rails that's nice is that

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:32.400
this is a one-u server

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:37.360
so this is as slim as you would expect something like a like a a router or a

00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:45.320
network switch to be except that this thing can handle do i

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:45.320
understand this correctly up to a 7900x

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:55.840
7.7 gigahertz 7980xc or a 7980xe at they

00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:58.560
claim 4.6 gigahertz that

00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:03.520
is a lot of performance to squeeze into a form factor like this

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:07.520
one so going over the outside of the server the first thing we notice is a

00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:11.280
really thin honeycomb mesh over here that's for pretty obvious reasons this

00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:14.959
thing's going to need some serious airflow we've got four those aren't

00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:18.480
supposed to be switched are these i did that you did that so this is just to

00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:21.840
look cool uh are they all open or some of them

00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:27.599
i think they're all say that yeah they're all satan all right it's so weird it's like they let someone like me

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:31.760
onto their product team it says 2 times u.2 2 times SATA hot softball SSD base

00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:35.280
well there you go maybe they were color coded the back plane up here it's not

00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:38.239
all plugged in and there isn't enough cables to plug them in so all right well

00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:43.040
we'll have a we'll have a look at it here first we can check out the back so

00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:46.080
we've got one management port two gigabit network ports that was a little

00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:50.879
disappointing 10 gig would have been nice uh serial as well as vga and then

00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:55.360
these these are interesting check this out so if i were a betting

00:02:52.959 --> 00:03:01.360
man and someone said this is a 1500 watt power supply

00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:05.280
how many watts do you think this one is i would probably say something along the

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:09.519
lines of well this is a per volume calculation i don't know 250 to 300 no

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:15.760
no no this is an 1100 watt

00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:16.879
80 plus platinum power supply that is

00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:21.120
cooled by this fan and there's two they are

00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:24.319
redundant so in the event that one of them fails the system will continue to

00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:32.560
run and basically um i expect these to be incredibly loud

00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:34.480
wow what the hell

00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:38.560
there's 20 fans there's 20 i think these are like the 23

00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:42.879
000 RPM ones and these might be the trippiest radiators i've ever seen these

00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:47.680
are one new radiators and they're different sizes too this is definitely

00:03:44.720 --> 00:03:51.519
custom this is highly custom so let's have a look then at how this

00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:57.120
closed-loop cooler goes so check this out we can easily see what the flow path

00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:59.040
is going to be so cool water marked blue

00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:04.080
comes into our CPU where the pump is also located and then the hot water

00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:09.680
comes out goes to this radiator comes out of this one and then back around

00:04:06.720 --> 00:04:15.360
here and then cold goes back into the CPU so we're actually using both of

00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:16.880
these rads to cool just the CPU

00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:22.720
in terms of the rest of the specs we've got eight memory slots so that's quad

00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:23.919
channel we've got a single pci express

00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:30.880
slot which there is no obvious way to

00:04:26.840 --> 00:04:30.880
actually plug anything in

00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:40.639
so what we actually end up with is oh that's an interesting one

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:42.479
another more different pci express slot

00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:48.960
that is broken out to two 16x slots up here

00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:53.120
installed sideways but then also into this 1x slot so wait where's the

00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:56.320
electrical signaling actually coming from is it this one i think it's that

00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:59.759
one yeah it must be this might be like power or just for stability like if

00:04:58.320 --> 00:05:03.840
you're going to build a custom board just for this server right you put the usb header somewhere you can actually

00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:07.280
like the south bridge what about all this space here if you try to put a GPU

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:12.560
here it might even block yeah see that's so weird because so not only are we

00:05:09.440 --> 00:05:14.080
limited to half height pci express cards

00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:17.680
which is really going to affect our ability to upgrade networking

00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:23.440
or add a GPU to this thing up this is going to severely limit the

00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:29.280
length of the cards we can install as well when it really seems to me as an

00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:32.800
you know a relative lay person like this could have just been put over here like

00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:37.360
can you imagine being the engineer that gets given this assignment i'm sorry you

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:41.440
want to build what uh yeah so if you could make a pcb that powers over

00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:46.160
twenty twenty three thousand RPM fans that

00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:48.639
would be great thanks excuse me why

00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:55.520
the power draws so gnarly that it has an eight pin is it eps look at this this is an 8-pin eps

00:05:52.479 --> 00:05:57.520
connector that that provides CPU power

00:05:55.520 --> 00:06:01.120
in the desktop systems for mere mortals those are good for 300 watts i think all

00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:06.319
right so what are we going with for CPU choice i think we're going to go with a

00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:08.000
7900 x so our current system has a 6950x

00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:11.440
almost dropped it there and this is also a 10 core so it should be kind of close

00:06:09.919 --> 00:06:16.400
in terms of performance although we're going to get the next generations improvements and then we're also going

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:19.919
to get our overclock improvements because this is going to overclock

00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:23.039
better than that ugly water cooled now the weirdest thing about this

00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:29.759
configuration is this building a server with like

00:06:27.280 --> 00:06:35.199
Corsair gaming memory normally you would use ecc memory in a server because that

00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:38.720
way if there's a friggin solar flare and a bit flip or whatever it can

00:06:36.960 --> 00:06:42.000
automatically be corrected and the system can keep running without

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:45.520
interruption but there's a couple of factors at play here one we're planning

00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:49.120
to overclock the bloody thing anyway it wasn't gonna be it wasn't going to be

00:06:47.440 --> 00:06:53.759
have the same kind of stability you'd expect from a normal server and two

00:06:51.520 --> 00:07:00.000
because we're running an overclockable core i9 processor it actually doesn't

00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:01.680
even have support for ecc memory so

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:06.000
with that said we couldn't just choose any old gaming RAM because it doesn't

00:07:03.919 --> 00:07:10.080
fit it's even on like the exact same plane as this

00:07:07.599 --> 00:07:14.479
bracket here so it oh yeah just barely fits that's nuts i mean the funny thing

00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:18.080
about this too is that you can't see can you find thanks i've wanted

00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:23.520
overclockable servers for as long as i've been a computer enthusiast but now

00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:27.120
that someone actually made one i'm like experienced enough to know that

00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:34.240
it's not worth it not have been the greatest idea uh what is that so this is a 1050 ti had

00:07:32.400 --> 00:07:37.520
to do a little modification we took the shroud off but there's gonna be plenty

00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:41.440
of airflow so it shouldn't be a problem it's even got its own duct like it's

00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:46.240
perfectly fine all right so we're gonna have a slight issue here too so you gotta take this thing out to get it in

00:07:44.080 --> 00:07:49.759
here okay this connector is actually so close that it hits it and i'm going to

00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:54.479
have to bend it down while you stick the card in there it looks ghetto but it's

00:07:51.520 --> 00:07:57.440
really not that ghetto what oh no

00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:00.879
did i catch it i think i'm in no you're cutting oh oh

00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:06.319
but it's in oh god it's good enough it's great all right

00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:10.160
you win so we're gonna put a headless uh HDMI

00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:14.560
thing in here too so when we're remoting in you get the full resolution you know

00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:17.919
honestly i don't even feel that bad about our ghetto-ness here because if

00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:22.240
you look at like how the server was actually designed

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:26.720
they literally just took like a piece of foam here

00:08:24.400 --> 00:08:30.080
and cut a hole in it i think that's like and put it there to keep the airflow

00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:33.200
going through the radiator that's not that jank it like it's like nice foam at

00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:39.039
least it's not like it's styrofoam yeah that's probably like electrically apple

00:08:36.640 --> 00:08:41.519
wouldn't do it this way oh well man if apple starts making servers again

00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:46.399
they're going to have dongles on their servers you're just going to see like a Thunderbolt hanging out of the front of

00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:50.240
the server with like you get your fiber line and your whatever like

00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:55.440
okay should we plug it in then so that's it yeah let's plug this up the top back

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.959
on because i think the airflow is pretty important do i put this on the right way

00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:02.880
hold on i can do this i believe

00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:06.240
impressive taking your server for a walk yeah all right let's go we got to take

00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:10.640
care of them otherwise they get out of shape stuff

00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:12.640
okay so we just uh found a spare

00:09:10.640 --> 00:09:15.600
spot in our server room we're just gonna let it sit there yeah

00:09:14.800 --> 00:09:21.040
just slide it in there i mean the rails are really only designed for one server but

00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:26.080
like whatever yeah it's not like that's a really heavy one anyway

00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:30.560
that is really really loud like honestly here hold on can we close

00:09:27.680 --> 00:09:30.560
this door for a sec

00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:37.519
you can still hear it yeah even so clearly even with all the sound

00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:40.560
deadening that we put in this room which people mocked me for but actually works

00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:45.600
works phenomenally thank you but that pitch

00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:50.480
yeah it penetrates like i'm over by the green screen now

00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:54.480
that's an actual problem like yeah no i don't know if that's gonna

00:09:51.760 --> 00:09:57.920
okay it just dialed it back a little yeah

00:09:55.680 --> 00:10:01.519
okay right now it's fine so the process of overclocking this thing was actually

00:09:59.839 --> 00:10:07.600
kind of a nightmare but we're there and our CPU is running at a cool 4.7

00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:13.760
gigahertz now it wasn't actually that easy to get it here uh Gigabyte's manual

00:10:10.880 --> 00:10:18.320
for this server doesn't exist yet yeah and there's some extra steps so in

00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:22.560
addition to setting your core voltage and setting your uh CPU multiplier like

00:10:21.040 --> 00:10:26.720
you would overclocking on a desktop board you have to key some

00:10:25.040 --> 00:10:30.560
magic value so let's go ahead and hit it with a

00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:36.000
stress test 65 watts at idle

00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:40.880
not bad oh 69 69 yes not bad all right so let's start a

00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:45.839
stress test make sure she holds 100 utilization 4.7 gigahertz what kind of

00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:49.839
temperatures are we looking at 60 to 70 50 75 degrees

00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:53.200
heck yeah so we loaded some stuff on here we've

00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:56.800
got regular cinebench which we're going to run real quick here and by real quick

00:10:55.360 --> 00:11:01.120
i do mean literally real quick this should be very fast and then

00:10:59.040 --> 00:11:04.560
to address that cinebench has actually gotten to the point where very high-end

00:11:02.800 --> 00:11:08.959
processors run it too fast to

00:11:06.880 --> 00:11:12.720
use it as a reliable benchmark we've got the new unofficial what's it called

00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:17.480
cinebench extreme extreme we're going to try that out as well so kicking things

00:11:14.959 --> 00:11:20.880
off we got ourselves 2500 points

00:11:19.920 --> 00:11:26.000
which is pretty good now let's try extreme

00:11:24.079 --> 00:11:30.240
which is basically just four times the resolution this one first whoa look at

00:11:28.079 --> 00:11:35.360
those temps yeah they're starting to get up there

00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:37.680
that is quite the load

00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:42.800
wow we are above 90 degrees on a handful of

00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:47.440
course here you might say that this benchmark takes a hot minute okay i'll

00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:54.079
give you that one oh we did detect some overheating but our

00:11:51.360 --> 00:12:01.680
throttling percentage is zero and it finished so she seems to be just

00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.680
just holding on

00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:08.800
656 which i have no context for because this is a brand new benchmark i've never

00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:12.880
used before so why don't we go ahead and shut all of that down and let's do our

00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:18.639
uh our network network render okay so i got uh just

00:12:16.160 --> 00:12:22.079
down there that is one of adobe's sample files sure so we're just open up final

00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:28.880
one and we're gonna export this like we would in ltte video so the 60 megabit

00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:34.079
per second and then 75. cool at 4k

00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:36.560
and it is fully utilizing our CPU so one

00:12:34.079 --> 00:12:41.519
thing that we observed about our network render server way back when i had

00:12:38.800 --> 00:12:45.920
intended to use like 18 core xeons in it or something was that there's a limit to

00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:49.920
how many threads media encoder can actually use so it's better to have

00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:53.440
fewer higher clock threads than it is to have many many threads in a lot of cases

00:12:51.760 --> 00:12:57.519
which is how we ended up with an overclocked render server in the first

00:12:55.519 --> 00:13:02.320
place so this looks like it could be a viable

00:12:59.680 --> 00:13:07.760
replacement so the results are in and cinebench both cinebench and cinebench

00:13:04.880 --> 00:13:10.800
extreme gave us 20 increases in performance that's actually quite a bit

00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:14.880
more than i was expecting so the increase in clock speed is 17 and a half

00:13:12.880 --> 00:13:21.360
but it's still 20 so we're getting like what three percent increase ipc but then

00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:22.480
in premiere we actually got a 30

00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:29.279
uplift going from what is that thing having it

00:13:24.560 --> 00:13:30.320
a gtx 980 and a 6950x and a 6950x

00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:34.959
not freaking bad but the problem is it's

00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:38.480
loud the other problem is that this whole

00:13:36.079 --> 00:13:44.000
this whole experience still hasn't really enlightened us as to what that

00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:49.519
crap this thing's actually for so Jake intrepidly

00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:51.760
sent an email to Gigabyte asking them

00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:56.000
what is this for why does it exist why did you build an overclockable 1u server

00:13:54.160 --> 00:13:58.880
can't even put a GPU like it doesn't really have networking like what would

00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:03.279
you even use this for and the answer is

00:14:00.959 --> 00:14:07.680
the finance industry high frequency trading so you would take this server

00:14:05.680 --> 00:14:11.680
you need the highest possible frequent performance you need something that's

00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:15.920
air-cooled so it can just be slotted into your existing server room

00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:21.199
you throw one of these puppies in or maybe even a newer one so this is a 100

00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:26.160
gigabit infiniband card so super low latency yeah wire that up to your

00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:29.040
network and the difference in these like what are like

00:14:27.040 --> 00:14:32.560
milliseconds maybe five milliseconds the difference there could be hundreds of

00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:36.320
thousands or millions of dollars in that industry a couple hundred traders over a

00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:39.839
year like it can be a big increase for a small amount of money so the investment

00:14:38.160 --> 00:14:44.240
in one of these servers makes a ton of sense there but for us i'm not running

00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:48.480
out and recommending that everyone go and buy one of these it's just too

00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:51.519
freaking loud it's it's very loud otherwise it'd be pretty sweet though

00:14:49.920 --> 00:14:55.920
yeah like maybe we should just re-insulate the server like a second

00:14:53.839 --> 00:15:00.240
layer or we could even just put like more sound deadening around that box or

00:14:58.880 --> 00:15:03.440
we could just upgrade the server that's in there right now

00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:07.199

00:15:09.760 --> 00:15:16.000
long as you're in the high frequency trading market portion of the finance

00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:19.760
industry yay also linked in the video description is

00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:23.440
our merch store which has cool shirts oh it's gebo today nope we don't have this

00:15:21.760 --> 00:15:27.839
shirt maybe that jacket this jacket will be coming eventually cool shirts like

00:15:24.800 --> 00:15:27.839
that one

00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:36.480
chill that shill it nick oh wow oh whoa

00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:36.480
ah and i think we're done here

00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:41.839
all right oh join the forum join the forum
