WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:08.360
so the objective today is as much power

00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:14.200
in as little space as possible it'll be

00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:16.960
a gaming rig sure and graphics card and

00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:21.240
CPU right we got an x99 motherboard that's ITX that's how this whole thing

00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:26.209
happened now I remember why we're doing

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:33.840
this the cors our h 1200i power supply

00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:38.239
delivers 80 plus Platinum efficiency for quiet efficient power and Corsair link

00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:42.160
digital for advanced monitoring and control click to learn more so I guess

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

00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:51.920
show is definitely the ASRock x99e ITX

00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:53.160
AC this is a surprisingly I guess I

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

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:07.040
motherboard considering that it's it's an ITX board the socket actually takes

00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:09.799
up a significant portion of the total

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:16.720
area of the board like check this out guys the x99 LGA 20113 socket is massive

00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:21.200
now one thing you might notice about it is that the socket actually has

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

00:01:23.240 --> 00:01:31.560
what cooler we can use although thankfully ASRock does include a cooler

00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:33.680
in the box so hopefully that'll fit in

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

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:43.680
we're actually going to have a review coming probably based on our Impressions

00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:47.479
from this build log it's

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:50.040
small yay uh for RAM we're going to be

00:01:47.479 --> 00:01:56.640
using not an entire quad Channel kit of ddr4 because the asck board only

00:01:53.119 --> 00:01:58.280
supports two memory slots so we're going

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

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:08.080
if you checked out our memory video which you can click on Luke's face or

00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:11.840
behind the whatever the picture over Luke's face now to learn about we

00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:15.680
determined going from Dual channel to quad Channel and ddr4 on even an extreme

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:21.360
Edition processor doesn't make a difference these days finally we've got

00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:22.920
an ax760i power supply which I have no

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

00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:30.800
compatibility of this build at all yet we'll try it but this power supply would

00:02:28.959 --> 00:02:34.280
work with cable mod cables which look freaking awesome which is why we chose

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

00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:44.080
knows for processor we have a 5960x because it's just kind of badass and

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

00:02:45.640 --> 00:02:52.159
Intel 730 series processor we can't use their 750 series because Yeah we

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

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

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

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:08.040
there yeah yeah like in the the box it

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

00:03:11.239 --> 00:03:16.319
even going to fit in there I was wondering about that it seems kind of

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

00:03:17.959 --> 00:03:26.120
could probably eyeball oh dear oh maybe it depends how

00:03:22.760 --> 00:03:27.959
they've laid out the inside guts there

00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:32.920
wow this thing is pretty bare yep well there's not a whole lot of

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

00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:42.560
installs in this thing is janky as all

00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:48.640
balls you just slide it into this slot little things no can we cut it wait

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

00:03:54.079 --> 00:04:01.720
there I that is some tight business

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

00:04:08.079 --> 00:04:15.480
surprise uh-oh the

00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:18.079
5960x was a throwaway or a red herring

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

00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:37.320
else entirely which will make this the most powerful miniitx gaming rig ever

00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:40.600
this is a 26.99 V3 18 core 36 thread

00:04:37.320 --> 00:04:42.600
processor it turbos up to 3.6 GHz so

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

00:04:46.320 --> 00:04:52.120
able to run 18 cor sustained at

00:04:50.520 --> 00:04:59.360
something in the neighborhood I think it was 2.6 gigz or so so it absolutely

00:04:55.960 --> 00:05:00.960
cleans the clock of the 5960x both in

00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:04.080
terms terms of performance and in terms of actual physical size you wouldn't

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

00:05:06.520 --> 00:05:14.880
that it actually overhangs the edge of the socket with extra heat spreader area

00:05:11.440 --> 00:05:19.039
because they got to put all those cores

00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:24.039
somewhere oh yeah does this look like it

00:05:19.039 --> 00:05:27.039
fits an H ADI it says specifically in

00:05:24.039 --> 00:05:30.360
the Box specific cooler types check this

00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:34.720
out it looks like as from thought of

00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:36.440
this so This plate does specifically fit

00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:44.440
on this this is an h100i because I don't think we're going

00:05:40.479 --> 00:05:46.240
to get an H ADI in here either way we're

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

00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:54.840
NVMe setup okay this is ready but I'm not actually going to install it yet

00:05:51.919 --> 00:05:54.840
just so it isn't in the

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

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

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

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

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

00:06:17.599 --> 00:06:23.280
build the build where the storage CPU

00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:31.520
and power supply all changed within like 20 minutes cooling don't forget cooling

00:06:26.840 --> 00:06:35.440
also cooling hey we're good on the power

00:06:31.520 --> 00:06:39.199
Supply okay I found it in your office

00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:39.199
cool and I found an H

00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:48.440
AI you must be 3.1 man that's

00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:54.560
crazy I don't think this is going to happen actually maybe maybe maybe so if

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

00:06:55.840 --> 00:07:02.680
in actually yeah um and then if I have a

00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:04.720
fan so if we can fit the 24 pin probably

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

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

00:07:14.919 --> 00:07:21.360
16 gig sticks of Kingston

00:07:18.080 --> 00:07:23.919
DDR ECC memory oh my God so we're going

00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:27.000
to put 32 gigs of RAM in here look at all those chips the module

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

00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:39.400
sure yeah I don't think we're going to make

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

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

00:07:46.159 --> 00:07:48.479
single

00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:57.319
Reds they're like horribly Tangled so I

00:07:52.840 --> 00:08:00.520
wanted to use one say the power cable

00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:03.080
and it almost fits no see it's pulling

00:08:00.520 --> 00:08:03.080
it out of this

00:08:06.400 --> 00:08:16.960
one oh that will actually be doable I think

00:08:12.440 --> 00:08:20.120
okay my hold down actually can go on any

00:08:16.960 --> 00:08:22.039
orientation that I want which is

00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:26.599
nice so the only ones that are really going to be hard is

00:08:23.919 --> 00:08:31.879
audio okay so Rad's on remember the fan has to be here the

00:08:29.039 --> 00:08:31.879
power suppes

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:42.320
here we're going to cover up a fair number of the connectors on the power

00:08:37.640 --> 00:08:47.080
supply but we still need a

00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:49.360
fan okay so the 24 pin is going this

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

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

00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:02.959
find something threaded correctly that I can just screw into the back plate do

00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:06.680
you think you have anything like that I have no idea

00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:13.079
okay so here's the random screw we

00:09:10.920 --> 00:09:18.279
found in a bin yes it totally works do you have

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

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

00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:33.839
uh fresh goop a

00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:37.959
wow okay oh where' the map

00:09:33.839 --> 00:09:42.480
go uh save cables I can't find the

00:09:37.959 --> 00:09:46.720
washer we just use a nut in each

00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:49.040
corner and that can go all the way down

00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:54.720
now oh there's two other side of ports if they're easy yep okay front

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

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

00:10:02.560 --> 00:10:07.440
because there's no Grill that's

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

00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:26.440
idea yeah so let me get this in real

00:10:23.079 --> 00:10:28.360
quick it's not great but like there's

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

00:10:30.680 --> 00:10:35.920
we're going to discover something the whole thing apart right wait are you're

00:10:35.040 --> 00:10:41.440
going in backwards no derp there we go good call

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

00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:50.360
am not privy too and it's Fantastical

00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:55.720
not a small power spy at

00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:55.720
all try some

00:10:57.839 --> 00:11:02.560
more uh um that doesn't work two D I

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

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

00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:15.760
yeah let's just do it vro wait uh oh that is going to add additional

00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:20.880
thickness a lot of it you know what um my super low profile double-sided tape

00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:29.760
strips that I collected a bazillion years ago so we'll go just like

00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:31.399
that oh I'm happy we have these cables

00:11:29.760 --> 00:11:36.800
yeah they shouldn't affect air flow at all in actually any of the places nope

00:11:34.839 --> 00:11:43.440
there that's pretty clean I like braided it could we bring these further back and

00:11:39.040 --> 00:11:46.880
make it work okay these ones right

00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:50.000
y well I don't yeah there we go thing

00:11:46.880 --> 00:11:52.040
you were coming up with by the

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:56.959
people I have to try and get this front panel in

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

00:11:58.560 --> 00:12:08.120
there as opposed to to around the edges there you go there's screws that

00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:10.040
that front panel needs to got it what an

00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:13.560
impressive little case better than either of our computers

00:12:12.760 --> 00:12:17.399
and like less than a fifth of the size of

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:23.040
either of our computers we're done that was fun and it

00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:28.040
and like despite the incredible amount of things that we oh no no that's from

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

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

00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:41.920
much Hardware is in here I don't know if

00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:43.800
Silverstone could have made it any more

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

00:12:45.880 --> 00:12:50.959
it's basically a frame yeah it's a shoe

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

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

00:12:58.760 --> 00:13:05.760
that's is to find out does it actually work so

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

00:13:09.160 --> 00:13:15.680
consumption we'll do a bunch of games I'll throw some synthetics at the CPU

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

00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:25.600
fine like if you guys look it's intake on the side for the graphics card

00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:29.680
exhaust right out the rear with some supplementary exhaust at the top here

00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:33.959
right there spot thermal testing fig out where some

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

00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:42.360
cooling your CPU which is going to be liquid cooled and then the power supply

00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:46.480
itself is going to take heat away from the motherboard area and push it out the

00:13:44.160 --> 00:13:52.360
back we should actually have reasonably balanced airf flow I'm really curious to

00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:53.720
see just how loud this sucker is as well

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

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

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

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

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

00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:16.880
right wow that weighs a lot more than you

00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:23.560
expect performance time all right so let's start with thermals as that's

00:14:22.040 --> 00:14:28.199
always an important question with a small powerful contained system like

00:14:25.959 --> 00:14:33.079
this one I mean loads of people buy full tower cases just for the juicy airflow

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

00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:42.079
running card the Titan X performed pretty much just as expected in terms of

00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:45.560
thermals which was really hot the titanex is normally quite hot and not

00:14:43.800 --> 00:14:49.480
much changed here to be completely honest as it was able to breathe fairly

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

00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:57.360
more surprising yeah we already knew it was pretty low temperature running

00:14:55.240 --> 00:15:02.079
processor but it really didn't have the card stacked in its favor over clocked a

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

00:15:04.040 --> 00:15:11.800
it went under a full-size power supply and cables running freaking everywhere

00:15:08.959 --> 00:15:15.000
Etc I honestly wasn't expecting much but it pulled through at a very low

00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:19.079
temperature underload which was damn impressive and made me believe in this

00:15:16.680 --> 00:15:22.839
setup just that much more speaking of overclocks our Titan X had its core

00:15:21.160 --> 00:15:27.079
cranked up to about 1375 which is about the same as we had

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

00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:36.480
here the processor had a base clock increase of 3 MHz and no voltage

00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:41.160
increases across the board this little black box of awesome crushed our 4K

00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:45.199
gaming benchmarks for Crisis 3 BioShock Infinite and Grand Theft Auto 5 running

00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:50.199
all of them without a hitch and getting well over 60 frames per second despite

00:15:47.319 --> 00:15:54.319
the 4K setting and never having any of the presets below High pretty badass for

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

00:15:57.040 --> 00:16:01.839
muscles of the CPU I mean even has to

00:16:00.079 --> 00:16:06.199
try the CPU's utilization throughout these tests was pretty crazy low so

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

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

00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:19.319
bench community on the alliance Tech tips Forum our 36 thread Powerhouse was

00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:23.639
very fun to watch as I've never seen that many little yellow squares racing

00:16:21.199 --> 00:16:29.000
around the picture anyways as expected it crushed but it wasn't done there W

00:16:26.959 --> 00:16:33.639
prime a multi-threaded benchmark that calculate super crazy numbers that take

00:16:31.079 --> 00:16:38.120
a long time to calculate the idea here was to show the difference between the

00:16:34.920 --> 00:16:41.560
ever popular four thread CPU and a 36

00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:43.600
thread Insanity CPU so I set W Prime to

00:16:41.560 --> 00:16:47.639
four threads and 36 threads obviously the 36 thread processor smashed Through

00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:50.120
The Benchmark and I know you're probably not going to be sitting there all day

00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:54.519
trying to calculate crazy numbers with your processor so it probably doesn't

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

00:16:56.560 --> 00:17:02.440
Stam folding team in the world on the line of tech Forum anyways guys I hope
