oh my god this is heavy this is it ladies and gentlemen
this is the first oh wow that's heavy the first
unironically top of the line AMD gaming
system in what 14 years or something
like that that's right today
i have the pleasure nay the privilege
of unboxing and gaming on an AMD ryzen
5950x a ventum x from digital storm
days before the official release
and i could not be more excited because it does not get
any better than this
at least not until you've got bitdefender installed this video is
brought to you by bitdefender bitdefender is a global cybersecurity
leader protecting over 500 million systems in over 150 countries you can

just to give you guys some idea how heavy this box is like i weigh 160
pounds this is what it takes for me to tip it
did i hear a did i hear something rattling in there
oh
oh my god the bottom of this box fell apart like
no mortal box can contain its greatness
ah yes motherboard accessories wonderful just in case what we had already wasn't
crazy enough we could put another two m.2s in this expansion card with the
cooling fan on it all right
oh that's a nice touch did they put all the LTT stickers on it
nerds lttstore.com
oh my god it's oh it's so heavy oh no no i want to do it i want to do it
i think you're stuck under the computer i give in take an end
i can't do it okay hold on wait
holy crap
i can do it oh that's why i couldn't do it
wow
holy banana grandma
if there has ever existed a symbol of complete and utter pc gaming
xs this is it oh very funny guys they
put an LTT sweatband on the nc link bridge
that's right my friends this contains not only
an AMD ryzen 9 5950x 16 core
32 thread processor but also
dual rtx 39 wait what
what the hell are these
shut up oh wait what wait what are these
what the fudge
where the what the hell are these
they've got their own digital storm co-branded alpha cool back plates on
them these are sick these are so small
just to make sure this isn't me being absolutely crazy
here's a strix 3090 from ASUS
here it is relative to the card that's installed in the case now the pcb ends
here but still
so we've got a quad 140 millimeter radiator on this side
we've got what appears to be a triple 140 millimeter in the top let's
go ahead and take off the other panel
oh i cannot believe how much it weighs
that's right my friends another
two 140 millimeters over here to go with our 1600 watt power supply some extra
just like random ambient cooling airflow over here
remember guys these are all light loop fans this thing did i mention already is
not cheap and this absolute
masterpiece of a water distribution block in the back
i haven't even turned it on yet
oh wow they put a mechanical drive in here
silly digital storm
we gotta compete with the ps5 this must have like over 500 dollars
worth of fittings in it look at this we've got quick disconnects on this side
and this side for the CPU so we could just pop a tube off if off
too crazy right quick disconnects over here for the gpus which are connected as
like one unit just here let me just re-plug my system
64 gigs of memory MSI godlike motherboard i think it's time to plug
this thing in and try it look at it next to a 27-inch monitor
baby's first monitor over there oh shhh
i just dropped it again i had just found the screw that was rattling around there
it is um you said there were a few screws loose
three three oh my god i don't know where they go
just put them there at the side panel screws all right let's fire it up oh
with that yeah let's do this properly
apparently this g9 is one of the ones for the pyramid pc client hopefully he
doesn't mind me pre-testing it this is the one monitor that won't look stupid
next to this computer i don't know about you guys but i'm having fun
i want to go fast oh here we go
um yeah yeah this is fine
oh god forgot about the cable management thing
on the stand my expectation oh i pinched my finger
yeah that is full damn that is like
holding back all the water damn curiously i can see the water flow rates
are pretty low i guess that makes sense there's only a single pump in this poor
thing and there's all these quick connects and all that i'm still expecting it to be fine
but that's something we're going to want to keep an eye on as we check our temps and do some gaming here
oh my god there's even an RGB fan right
behind the front panel here you cannot see it at all
this orange and white color scheme they pre-rigged it with is sweet oh my god
there's another three more hidden behind the front panel
why looks like those loose screws weren't too much of a problem
this is great it's like almost proportional you know
the computer still looks big
this isn't actually where i want to be though digital storm says that they did
a little bit of factory overclocking for me so i want to check that out first oc
settings all right nothing crazy in here we're running at 4.4 gigahertz with a
slight overvolt on the CPU and really no other changes just running the 3200 mhz
xmp profile for this memory now AMD does recommend 3600 megahertz for optimal
performance but digital storm was like when we were building the machine this
was kind of all we had on hand so hopefully it's all right
one compromise
just throw it all away just put it in the garbage
ah you're supposed to let me walk out of frame this is an unconventional benchmark
there it is 5950x base speed four point
so we're at 4.4 gigahertz rock frickin
solid here 64 gigs RAM and
that's weird why is only one GPU showing up
no sli okay let's reseat that puppy
this this is what i wanted to benchmark okay
check this out CPU utilization 98
doing what you might ask downloading a game but hold on but hold
on that's not crazy that's not stupid
what's happening right now is we're on a 10 gig connection here at the office and
i am linked right now to the vancouver steam server
and downloading red dead redemption 2 at a speed of
500 megabytes per second 500 megabytes
not mega bit that is 5 gigabit at least it was a
second ago and why i say that this is a
benchmark of sorts is that when you download a game typically you're
downloading and decompressing the files at the same time so you can often end up
in a very CPU limited scenario so
is the ryzen 5950x the fastest CPU for
downloading games if you have mega fast internet
probably actually let's try grand theft auto now shall we oh one hour 14 minutes
what ah four minutes 46 seconds that's more
like it how we doing here 550
600 600
guys this is over the internet this is not
even a cash server local how's our CPU doing
oh wow CPU usage not even too high that's interesting
so what you guys need to understand is that
every game is compressed differently so with red dead for example we were able
to use all of our cores but still our speeds were lower than grand theft auto
where grand theft auto seems to be limited to a smaller number of course
but still we're getting greater speed so it depends how much it's compressed and
how it's compressed i'm going to download grand theft auto 5 in like two
and a half freaking minutes oh whoa hey there it goes
interesting so we got this spike up to 600 plus megabytes a second and CPU
utilization was actually very low and so i i confess i don't know a ton about
exactly how they compress these games but it looks like we settled into a
steady state here and we're back up to 100 CPU utilization fastest game
downloading pc in the universe it's hard to reach the power button
oh yeah there's like sd card reader and front usb 3 and type c and everything up
there couldn't even tell literally can't see over it okay did we just need a
fresh driver install is that it just a clean install
okay with sli and g-sync now working the
last thing left is 240 hertz
unfortunately there's forum threads from this recently as like 10 days ago with
people saying NVIDIA and samsung are still working on display stream
compression compatibility between rtx 3000 and this particular display so i'm
not even gonna try we're just gonna enjoy it at 120 hertz and play some
freaking video games here okay ultra nightmare
all that sensitivity though wait a minute
you got to be kidding me changing the dpi of my mouse
change the profile of the whole iq
ecosystem and turned off the RGB lighting in the system at least this is
running amazing so we are at half of 5k
resolution right now running at 170
frames per second
and what kind of temps we seeing CPU sitting around 60 degrees
our GPU that's not doing any work is sitting around 30 something and 50 i'm
the one that is doing any work let's fire up shadow of the tomb raider now
since that's one of the few games that actually supports sli i know steve from
gamer's nexus wouldn't approve of the way that it's like all solid panels and
you know there's no actual cooling but
when you have this many fans seems to kind of work out okay also i
didn't notice this but it looks like there are intentional panel gaps between
the glass sides here and where these fans are so they are actually able to
pull in a little bit of air yeah like there's a lot moving out of the back here somehow
all vent all the time no mumble now let's absolutely crank shadow of the
tomb raiders green space contact shadows high ray trace shadow quality ultra
we're still going to turn off motion blur because it's garbage but
let's open it up this is absolutely freaking nuts
i have this game completely maxed out and it's still running over 100 FPS
with like real-time ray tracing set to ultra our gpus so far have peaked at 61
and 52 degrees respectively not too shabby CPU though as high as 74 degrees
but that's what happens when you have a pretty low flow rate and you're
overclocked here it is which witcher 3 5120 by oh
witcher 3 5120 by 1440 absolutely ultra
everything again over 100 frames per second man this is a good looking game
still of course the real test of a gaming system with a hyper-fast
multi-threaded CPU is an rts
this is good old anno 1800 pretty demanding when you max it out
that's really not bad
now at like the medium zoom level where all of a sudden the streets are like
populated with all kinds of little ai characters going
about their little stuff we dropped down to about 30 35 FPS look it's my zoo
i have horses usage of the primary GPU while playing
ano 1800 usage of the secondary GPU
sli come on red dead it's crashing almost
every time i try to change graphical settings but i managed to get it to hold the resolution this time so
see if it fires up here yeah this is
completely broken okay that's fine everyone knows that
cinebench is every gamer's favorite game anyway
so let's just close this and see how our 5950x with its 4.4
gigahertz clock speed rolls through cinebench r20 can we crack 10 000
oh yeah 10 081 nice
of course we still haven't showed any scenarios where you'd be able to actually run this display at 240 frames
per second with this hardware until now
check that out we're somewhere in the 210 220 FPS range
good old cs go ladies and gentlemen of course that's running with all the icann
dion at full resolution which no competitive cs go player would
ever do so i would expect FPS way in
excess of that and in fact if you guys want the full skinny check out our full
review of the ryzen 5000 series launch which went up just a few days ago on the
channel so conclusion then the digital storm event max with a ryzen 5950x and
dual rtx 3090s running an sli is it a great value no of course not but is it
basically the perfect vehicle for celebrating AMD's return to CPU
gaming dominance yeah
i think it might just be just like bitdefender might just be the
sponsor of this video bitdefender whether you've got a budget machine or
an absolute top of the line one protects all your devices against malware without
compromising on speed their advanced threat defense identifies suspicious

you guys enjoyed this video you know what yeah go check out our full coverage
of ryzen 5000. i already kind of shouted that one out but definitely go watch
that next and i also want to shout out digitalstorm for sending over this
absolutely unbelievable system to show off the
5950x
