today we're going to be showing off another PC from the NC PC laboratory so
I'm in uh well you've got three guesses as to whose office we happen to be in
here right now and uh the first two don't count so uh basically he's got a
new system that we're working on for the end of the month and this is going to be
our fastest Vesta PC ever this is the Vesta 6050 and it's actually going to be
available in a couple different configurations so the one that we have
here since this is a balls to the walls
Performance Machine is actually featuring dual GTX 580s it has a 120 gig
SSD it's got an assus Republic of Gamers Rampage 3 formula motherboard Core
i5 I5 core i7 950 processor and it also
has 12 gigs of RAM now the performance Edition comes with dedr 3600 and the
base Edition actually has some key changes so it comes with DDR 31333 it
cuts one of the graphics cards the performance one comes not only with an
SSD but also with a large storage drive and the base one does not and then the
power supply is another key one so the performance Edition comes with a tx850 W
power supply and the base Edition does not now the whole point of this video is
not just to show off the new system that we have coming out oh oh yeah they're
both liquid cooled even though you can't see it so see look the liquid cooling is
coming when we actually put it in the case which is going to be a fractal
design Define ex cell so the base one uses an H50 and the performance one
being the utter maximum system that it is uses a Corsair h70 liquid cooler but
I also wanted to show you guys the testing and validation procedure that
goes into these systems and has actually helped us catch a lot of problems before
we release them to the general public for example we encountered a RAM kit
that was uniformly incompatible with every Phenom 2 X4 and X6 processor on
the market we had no way of knowing the specs said they should work but because
of our validation procedures we were able to find out that the system was
randomly locking up and that even though the parts weren't defective they didn't
work together even though they should work together so basically we use a host
of different programs and these are all Enthusiast grade programs not your you
know Grandpa's benchmarking program so we use Linux as well as Prime 95 mem
test and then for 3D we do a test with Vantage as well as furmark and with all
of these prototype systems so far we've done at least some game play with an
intensive game like Crisis uh Mafia 2 just to make sure that besides the
synthetic benchmarks we're not going to run into any problems with a demanding
modern game engine so this system this prototype won't be ready probably for
another 4 to 5 days just because the uh
the Crazy Russian needs to do a lot more of his crazy Russian stuff on it make
sure that it passes all these tests overnight and it's just crazy stable and
then we're going to be able to go ahead and release the system around this so
thank you for checking out this little video on the validation process that
goes on behind the scenes don't forget to check out ncpc on Facebook that is
