1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,360
so the objective today is as much power

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:14,200
in as little space as possible it'll be

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:16,960
a gaming rig sure and graphics card and

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:21,240
CPU right we got an x99 motherboard that's ITX that's how this whole thing

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:26,209
happened now I remember why we're doing

6
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:33,840
this the cors our h 1200i power supply

7
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:38,239
delivers 80 plus Platinum efficiency for quiet efficient power and Corsair link

8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:42,160
digital for advanced monitoring and control click to learn more so I guess

9
00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:48,800
let's do a quick run through of the parts we've got the highlight of the

10
00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:51,920
show is definitely the ASRock x99e ITX

11
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,160
AC this is a surprisingly I guess I

12
00:00:51,920 --> 00:01:00,079
might as well just open it it's not like we're not going to do this this is a surprisingly fully featured um x99

13
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:07,040
motherboard considering that it's it's an ITX board the socket actually takes

14
00:01:03,239 --> 00:01:09,799
up a significant portion of the total

15
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:16,720
area of the board like check this out guys the x99 LGA 20113 socket is massive

16
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:21,200
now one thing you might notice about it is that the socket actually has

17
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:25,000
non-standard Moun holes so we are going to be a little bit Limited in terms of

18
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:31,560
what cooler we can use although thankfully ASRock does include a cooler

19
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:33,680
in the box so hopefully that'll fit in

20
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:37,880
our case so we're going to be using a Silverstone Sugo sg13 this is a new case

21
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:43,680
we're actually going to have a review coming probably based on our Impressions

22
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:47,479
from this build log it's

23
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:50,040
small yay uh for RAM we're going to be

24
00:01:47,479 --> 00:01:56,640
using not an entire quad Channel kit of ddr4 because the asck board only

25
00:01:53,119 --> 00:01:58,280
supports two memory slots so we're going

26
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:04,240
to be running in dual Channel which means we're going to be limited in terms of both capacity and bandwidth however

27
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:08,080
if you checked out our memory video which you can click on Luke's face or

28
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,840
behind the whatever the picture over Luke's face now to learn about we

29
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:15,680
determined going from Dual channel to quad Channel and ddr4 on even an extreme

30
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:21,360
Edition processor doesn't make a difference these days finally we've got

31
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:22,920
an ax760i power supply which I have no

32
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,840
idea if we're actually going to be able to use because we haven't vetted the

33
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:30,800
compatibility of this build at all yet we'll try it but this power supply would

34
00:02:28,959 --> 00:02:34,280
work with cable mod cables which look freaking awesome which is why we chose

35
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:38,720
it so so we're going to try and use it hopefully it works who actually really

36
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:44,080
knows for processor we have a 5960x because it's just kind of badass and

37
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:47,560
we're trying to build a small badass rig so it just kind of works we have an

38
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:52,159
Intel 730 series processor we can't use their 750 series because Yeah we

39
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:55,360
actually don't know if it supports NVMe but I'm going to go with no I don't

40
00:02:53,560 --> 00:03:00,360
think so and then we have a Titan X because it's the fastest single GPU card

41
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:06,519
at least for now we'll see when that new AMD stuff comes out but at cram it in

42
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:08,040
there yeah yeah like in the the box it

43
00:03:06,519 --> 00:03:12,360
looks small and then you take it out and it looks even way smaller is the Titan X

44
00:03:11,239 --> 00:03:16,319
even going to fit in there I was wondering about that it seems kind of

45
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:19,239
doomed from the outset doesn't it you know what we'll make it work I mean we

46
00:03:17,959 --> 00:03:26,120
could probably eyeball oh dear oh maybe it depends how

47
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,959
they've laid out the inside guts there

48
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:32,920
wow this thing is pretty bare yep well there's not a whole lot of

49
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:39,680
room for anything but the parts I guess so there's that the way the Wi-Fi card

50
00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:42,560
installs in this thing is janky as all

51
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:48,640
balls you just slide it into this slot little things no can we cut it wait

52
00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:56,400
yeah yeah look look there's a gap Brandon look look at the Gap look at the Gap yeah yeah I I think it can get in

53
00:03:54,079 --> 00:04:01,720
there I that is some tight business

54
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:11,319
oh yeah that's in it works we're going to put a Titan X in here we are I have a

55
00:04:08,079 --> 00:04:15,480
surprise uh-oh the

56
00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:18,079
5960x was a throwaway or a red herring

57
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:26,040
or a trojan horse or whatever it was a trick in my pocket oh I have something

58
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:37,320
else entirely which will make this the most powerful miniitx gaming rig ever

59
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:40,600
this is a 26.99 V3 18 core 36 thread

60
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,600
processor it turbos up to 3.6 GHz so

61
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:50,520
you're still going to get that gaming performance when you need single-threaded performance and it is

62
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:52,120
able to run 18 cor sustained at

63
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:59,360
something in the neighborhood I think it was 2.6 gigz or so so it absolutely

64
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,960
cleans the clock of the 5960x both in

65
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:04,080
terms terms of performance and in terms of actual physical size you wouldn't

66
00:05:02,919 --> 00:05:08,680
even look at them and think that they fit in the same socket would you look at

67
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:14,880
that it actually overhangs the edge of the socket with extra heat spreader area

68
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:19,039
because they got to put all those cores

69
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:24,039
somewhere oh yeah does this look like it

70
00:05:19,039 --> 00:05:27,039
fits an H ADI it says specifically in

71
00:05:24,039 --> 00:05:30,360
the Box specific cooler types check this

72
00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:34,720
out it looks like as from thought of

73
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:36,440
this so This plate does specifically fit

74
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:44,440
on this this is an h100i because I don't think we're going

75
00:05:40,479 --> 00:05:46,240
to get an H ADI in here either way we're

76
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:50,639
not using this stock thing at this point anymore or you know what we can try the

77
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:54,840
NVMe setup okay this is ready but I'm not actually going to install it yet

78
00:05:51,919 --> 00:05:54,840
just so it isn't in the

79
00:05:55,639 --> 00:06:02,039
way I wanted to see if we could fit this thing in super juny in like some crazy

80
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:05,840
angle or something but it's not going to work yeah uh do you want to figure out

81
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:10,840
if the power supply is going to fit I think it will um but will it fit with a

82
00:06:08,919 --> 00:06:13,919
thick rad cuz if I could just use an H AI then that would make my life a little

83
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:20,960
bit easier sure I'll check that there's a white 860i in the in the uh Subzero

84
00:06:17,599 --> 00:06:23,280
build the build where the storage CPU

85
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:31,520
and power supply all changed within like 20 minutes cooling don't forget cooling

86
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:35,440
also cooling hey we're good on the power

87
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:39,199
Supply okay I found it in your office

88
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,199
cool and I found an H

89
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:48,440
AI you must be 3.1 man that's

90
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:54,560
crazy I don't think this is going to happen actually maybe maybe maybe so if

91
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:58,960
we went tubing this side take this back out here hold on no no put put it back

92
00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:02,680
in actually yeah um and then if I have a

93
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:04,720
fan so if we can fit the 24 pin probably

94
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:10,680
fine where is it at the bottom it's at the top okay hold on new idea for RAM I

95
00:07:08,479 --> 00:07:18,080
was saving this surprise for later but to go along with my xon CPU I also have

96
00:07:14,919 --> 00:07:21,360
16 gig sticks of Kingston

97
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:23,919
DDR ECC memory oh my God so we're going

98
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:27,000
to put 32 gigs of RAM in here look at all those chips the module

99
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:35,240
layout I thought you just line up the RAM I was like that's your job I'm not

100
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:39,400
sure yeah I don't think we're going to make

101
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:43,879
it yeah no it's not going to fit the threads on this rad are no good so I was

102
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:48,479
going to pull the block off this one and put it onto a single red we have we have

103
00:07:46,159 --> 00:07:48,479
single

104
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:57,319
Reds they're like horribly Tangled so I

105
00:07:52,840 --> 00:08:00,520
wanted to use one say the power cable

106
00:07:57,319 --> 00:08:03,080
and it almost fits no see it's pulling

107
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,080
it out of this

108
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:16,960
one oh that will actually be doable I think

109
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:20,120
okay my hold down actually can go on any

110
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:22,039
orientation that I want which is

111
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:26,599
nice so the only ones that are really going to be hard is

112
00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:31,879
audio okay so Rad's on remember the fan has to be here the

113
00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:31,879
power suppes

114
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:42,320
here we're going to cover up a fair number of the connectors on the power

115
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:47,080
supply but we still need a

116
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:49,360
fan okay so the 24 pin is going this

117
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:53,440
way okay so we don't need to do the ghetto mon yeah yeah wow okay I think it

118
00:08:51,959 --> 00:08:58,920
can make it all right then let's get the power supply out here and try to more properly Mount some stuff yeah if I can

119
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,959
find something threaded correctly that I can just screw into the back plate do

120
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:06,680
you think you have anything like that I have no idea

121
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:13,079
okay so here's the random screw we

122
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:18,279
found in a bin yes it totally works do you have

123
00:09:15,959 --> 00:09:23,160
four no but it doesn't matter all the rest are fine good call I think cooling

124
00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:27,519
is going to be a a trick in a system like this let's put on some nice fresh

125
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:33,839
uh fresh goop a

126
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:37,959
wow okay oh where' the map

127
00:09:33,839 --> 00:09:42,480
go uh save cables I can't find the

128
00:09:37,959 --> 00:09:46,720
washer we just use a nut in each

129
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:49,040
corner and that can go all the way down

130
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:54,720
now oh there's two other side of ports if they're easy yep okay front

131
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:59,959
audio um hard drive LED is bottom left power LED is top left okay cool okay so

132
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:04,200
that's ready now we're graphics card oh oh this is going the wrong way why

133
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:07,440
because there's no Grill that's

134
00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:18,880
good you know what I'm actually going to put all four in it's probably not a bad

135
00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:26,440
idea yeah so let me get this in real

136
00:10:23,079 --> 00:10:28,360
quick it's not great but like there's

137
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:32,519
this but I think it's going work it's not going to Kink exactly okay you know

138
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:35,920
we're going to discover something the whole thing apart right wait are you're

139
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:41,440
going in backwards no derp there we go good call

140
00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:48,320
I was not paying attention to the power at all just looking at the cables that I

141
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:50,360
am not privy too and it's Fantastical

142
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:55,720
not a small power spy at

143
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,720
all try some

144
00:10:57,839 --> 00:11:02,560
more uh um that doesn't work two D I

145
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:06,760
think we should do two drives can they fit on the top of the power supply there

146
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:12,200
might just be a little bulge there might be a little bulge but we're doing it

147
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:15,760
yeah let's just do it vro wait uh oh that is going to add additional

148
00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:20,880
thickness a lot of it you know what um my super low profile double-sided tape

149
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:29,760
strips that I collected a bazillion years ago so we'll go just like

150
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:31,399
that oh I'm happy we have these cables

151
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:36,800
yeah they shouldn't affect air flow at all in actually any of the places nope

152
00:11:34,839 --> 00:11:43,440
there that's pretty clean I like braided it could we bring these further back and

153
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:46,880
make it work okay these ones right

154
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:50,000
y well I don't yeah there we go thing

155
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:52,040
you were coming up with by the

156
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:56,959
people I have to try and get this front panel in

157
00:11:54,200 --> 00:12:01,440
somehow why wouldn't go on uh no I just I have to get all the wires like in

158
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:08,120
there as opposed to to around the edges there you go there's screws that

159
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:10,040
that front panel needs to got it what an

160
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:13,560
impressive little case better than either of our computers

161
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:17,399
and like less than a fifth of the size of

162
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:23,040
either of our computers we're done that was fun and it

163
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:28,040
and like despite the incredible amount of things that we oh no no that's from

164
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,639
me popping out the things a little bit yeah it's going to have a little bit of

165
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:38,399
Bulge on the top but it's not bad it's not very noticeable and considering how

166
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:41,920
much Hardware is in here I don't know if

167
00:12:38,399 --> 00:12:43,800
Silverstone could have made it any more

168
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:49,000
dense it's basically like I love the case I don't mean this in a bad way but

169
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,959
it's basically a frame yeah it's a shoe

170
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:56,320
box and it's it's a it's a nicely logically laid out frame but it's yeah

171
00:12:53,639 --> 00:13:00,000
it's a shoe box with holes and uh we filled those holes yeah so now all

172
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:05,760
that's is to find out does it actually work so

173
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:11,360
uh what all I mean what else should we test we got to throw we got to find out power consumption yeah we'll do power

174
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:15,680
consumption we'll do a bunch of games I'll throw some synthetics at the CPU

175
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:21,160
cuz that's fun we got to see temps on on everything just know I mean it should be

176
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:25,600
fine like if you guys look it's intake on the side for the graphics card

177
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:29,680
exhaust right out the rear with some supplementary exhaust at the top here

178
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:33,959
right there spot thermal testing fig out where some

179
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:38,760
zones are the entire front of the case is mesh so that's going to take care of

180
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:42,360
cooling your CPU which is going to be liquid cooled and then the power supply

181
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,480
itself is going to take heat away from the motherboard area and push it out the

182
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:52,360
back we should actually have reasonably balanced airf flow I'm really curious to

183
00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:53,720
see just how loud this sucker is as well

184
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:58,320
yeah I don't think it's going to be that loud if we were smarter we wouldn't have

185
00:13:55,680 --> 00:14:01,480
had to put ssds on the top an m.2 SSD would have made a lot of and then we

186
00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:06,040
just we could have also there's enough space here that we might have even been able to just stack them right there

187
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:09,720
right on the side instead of them being on the top what what I think it looks

188
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:14,680
really cool it looks cool on the top yeah so uh yeah well here you go all

189
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,880
right wow that weighs a lot more than you

190
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,560
expect performance time all right so let's start with thermals as that's

191
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:28,199
always an important question with a small powerful contained system like

192
00:14:25,959 --> 00:14:33,079
this one I mean loads of people buy full tower cases just for the juicy airflow

193
00:14:31,399 --> 00:14:37,720
and we have a lot of power under the hood including a Titan X which is a hot

194
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:42,079
running card the Titan X performed pretty much just as expected in terms of

195
00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:45,560
thermals which was really hot the titanex is normally quite hot and not

196
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:49,480
much changed here to be completely honest as it was able to breathe fairly

197
00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:53,560
easily through the side of the case but the CPU on the other hand was a little

198
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:57,360
more surprising yeah we already knew it was pretty low temperature running

199
00:14:55,240 --> 00:15:02,079
processor but it really didn't have the card stacked in its favor over clocked a

200
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:06,920
bit and with next to no air to breathe due to the confined space the fact that

201
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:11,800
it went under a full-size power supply and cables running freaking everywhere

202
00:15:08,959 --> 00:15:15,000
Etc I honestly wasn't expecting much but it pulled through at a very low

203
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:19,079
temperature underload which was damn impressive and made me believe in this

204
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:22,839
setup just that much more speaking of overclocks our Titan X had its core

205
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:27,079
cranked up to about 1375 which is about the same as we had

206
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:31,959
it when we reviewed it if you want to see our actual review of this card click

207
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:36,480
here the processor had a base clock increase of 3 MHz and no voltage

208
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:41,160
increases across the board this little black box of awesome crushed our 4K

209
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:45,199
gaming benchmarks for Crisis 3 BioShock Infinite and Grand Theft Auto 5 running

210
00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:50,199
all of them without a hitch and getting well over 60 frames per second despite

211
00:15:47,319 --> 00:15:54,319
the 4K setting and never having any of the presets below High pretty badass for

212
00:15:52,639 --> 00:16:00,079
a machine that you could easily fit in a backpack but this didn't really Flex the

213
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,839
muscles of the CPU I mean even has to

214
00:16:00,079 --> 00:16:06,199
try the CPU's utilization throughout these tests was pretty crazy low so

215
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:11,240
let's take it for a spin first up we've got cinebench R15 a good standard for

216
00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:13,759
CPU benchmarks and as always I'd like to give a shout out to the awesome cine

217
00:16:12,519 --> 00:16:19,319
bench community on the alliance Tech tips Forum our 36 thread Powerhouse was

218
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:23,639
very fun to watch as I've never seen that many little yellow squares racing

219
00:16:21,199 --> 00:16:29,000
around the picture anyways as expected it crushed but it wasn't done there W

220
00:16:26,959 --> 00:16:33,639
prime a multi-threaded benchmark that calculate super crazy numbers that take

221
00:16:31,079 --> 00:16:38,120
a long time to calculate the idea here was to show the difference between the

222
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:41,560
ever popular four thread CPU and a 36

223
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:43,600
thread Insanity CPU so I set W Prime to

224
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:47,639
four threads and 36 threads obviously the 36 thread processor smashed Through

225
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:50,120
The Benchmark and I know you're probably not going to be sitting there all day

226
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:54,519
trying to calculate crazy numbers with your processor so it probably doesn't

227
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:58,319
matter to you unless your name is wher 99 or happen to be a member of the best

228
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:02,440
Stam folding team in the world on the line of tech Forum anyways guys I hope
