WEBVTT

00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:05.920
oh my god this is heavy this is it ladies and gentlemen

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:13.679
this is the first oh wow that's heavy the first

00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:16.800
unironically top of the line AMD gaming

00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:19.279
system in what 14 years or something

00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:22.160
like that that's right today

00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:28.359
i have the pleasure nay the privilege

00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:32.239
of unboxing and gaming on an AMD ryzen

00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:35.600
5950x a ventum x from digital storm

00:00:32.239 --> 00:00:38.160
days before the official release

00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:43.200
and i could not be more excited because it does not get

00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:44.480
any better than this

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.760
at least not until you've got bitdefender installed this video is

00:00:46.239 --> 00:00:52.000
brought to you by bitdefender bitdefender is a global cybersecurity

00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:56.239
leader protecting over 500 million systems in over 150 countries you can

00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:59.840
click the link in the description to learn more

00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:13.439
just to give you guys some idea how heavy this box is like i weigh 160

00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.840
pounds this is what it takes for me to tip it

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:22.000
did i hear a did i hear something rattling in there

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.200
oh

00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:31.119
oh my god the bottom of this box fell apart like

00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:36.200
no mortal box can contain its greatness

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:47.119
ah yes motherboard accessories wonderful just in case what we had already wasn't

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:52.799
crazy enough we could put another two m.2s in this expansion card with the

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:55.840
cooling fan on it all right

00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:03.119
oh that's a nice touch did they put all the LTT stickers on it

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:06.119
nerds lttstore.com

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:14.000
oh my god it's oh it's so heavy oh no no i want to do it i want to do it

00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:23.440
i think you're stuck under the computer i give in take an end

00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:28.160
i can't do it okay hold on wait

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.160
holy crap

00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:33.920
i can do it oh that's why i couldn't do it

00:02:34.239 --> 00:02:37.239
wow

00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:41.680
holy banana grandma

00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:52.879
if there has ever existed a symbol of complete and utter pc gaming

00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:55.280
xs this is it oh very funny guys they

00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:59.599
put an LTT sweatband on the nc link bridge

00:02:57.760 --> 00:03:04.680
that's right my friends this contains not only

00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:10.879
an AMD ryzen 9 5950x 16 core

00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:12.000
32 thread processor but also

00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:19.840
dual rtx 39 wait what

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.840
what the hell are these

00:03:20.480 --> 00:03:26.560
shut up oh wait what wait what are these

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:33.040
what the fudge

00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:35.120
where the what the hell are these

00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:41.599
they've got their own digital storm co-branded alpha cool back plates on

00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:43.280
them these are sick these are so small

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:48.480
just to make sure this isn't me being absolutely crazy

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:50.640
here's a strix 3090 from ASUS

00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:55.439
here it is relative to the card that's installed in the case now the pcb ends

00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:59.200
here but still

00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:05.840
so we've got a quad 140 millimeter radiator on this side

00:04:03.519 --> 00:04:13.799
we've got what appears to be a triple 140 millimeter in the top let's

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.799
go ahead and take off the other panel

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:20.239
oh i cannot believe how much it weighs

00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:27.840
that's right my friends another

00:04:25.440 --> 00:04:32.880
two 140 millimeters over here to go with our 1600 watt power supply some extra

00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:37.759
just like random ambient cooling airflow over here

00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:42.400
remember guys these are all light loop fans this thing did i mention already is

00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:46.400
not cheap and this absolute

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:51.199
masterpiece of a water distribution block in the back

00:04:48.080 --> 00:04:51.199
i haven't even turned it on yet

00:04:52.479 --> 00:04:58.560
oh wow they put a mechanical drive in here

00:04:55.520 --> 00:05:01.280
silly digital storm

00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:05.600
we gotta compete with the ps5 this must have like over 500 dollars

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:10.320
worth of fittings in it look at this we've got quick disconnects on this side

00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:15.840
and this side for the CPU so we could just pop a tube off if off

00:05:12.880 --> 00:05:20.639
too crazy right quick disconnects over here for the gpus which are connected as

00:05:18.880 --> 00:05:26.560
like one unit just here let me just re-plug my system

00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:30.720
64 gigs of memory MSI godlike motherboard i think it's time to plug

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:38.800
this thing in and try it look at it next to a 27-inch monitor

00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:41.039
baby's first monitor over there oh shhh

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:43.440
i just dropped it again i had just found the screw that was rattling around there

00:05:42.479 --> 00:05:47.600
it is um you said there were a few screws loose

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:53.039
three three oh my god i don't know where they go

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:56.560
just put them there at the side panel screws all right let's fire it up oh

00:05:55.440 --> 00:06:01.199
with that yeah let's do this properly

00:05:59.280 --> 00:06:05.600
apparently this g9 is one of the ones for the pyramid pc client hopefully he

00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:08.960
doesn't mind me pre-testing it this is the one monitor that won't look stupid

00:06:07.039 --> 00:06:13.520
next to this computer i don't know about you guys but i'm having fun

00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:18.560
i want to go fast oh here we go

00:06:14.880 --> 00:06:18.560
um yeah yeah this is fine

00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:24.000
oh god forgot about the cable management thing

00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:29.440
on the stand my expectation oh i pinched my finger

00:06:29.440 --> 00:06:35.520
yeah that is full damn that is like

00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:40.240
holding back all the water damn curiously i can see the water flow rates

00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:43.280
are pretty low i guess that makes sense there's only a single pump in this poor

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:47.680
thing and there's all these quick connects and all that i'm still expecting it to be fine

00:06:46.880 --> 00:06:55.280
but that's something we're going to want to keep an eye on as we check our temps and do some gaming here

00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:57.120
oh my god there's even an RGB fan right

00:06:55.280 --> 00:07:01.199
behind the front panel here you cannot see it at all

00:06:59.599 --> 00:07:07.919
this orange and white color scheme they pre-rigged it with is sweet oh my god

00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:11.520
there's another three more hidden behind the front panel

00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:15.360
why looks like those loose screws weren't too much of a problem

00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:21.199
this is great it's like almost proportional you know

00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:22.720
the computer still looks big

00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:27.520
this isn't actually where i want to be though digital storm says that they did

00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:32.800
a little bit of factory overclocking for me so i want to check that out first oc

00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:38.080
settings all right nothing crazy in here we're running at 4.4 gigahertz with a

00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:43.680
slight overvolt on the CPU and really no other changes just running the 3200 mhz

00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:49.680
xmp profile for this memory now AMD does recommend 3600 megahertz for optimal

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:53.360
performance but digital storm was like when we were building the machine this

00:07:50.960 --> 00:07:58.960
was kind of all we had on hand so hopefully it's all right

00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:00.960
one compromise

00:07:58.960 --> 00:08:04.560
just throw it all away just put it in the garbage

00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:12.000
ah you're supposed to let me walk out of frame this is an unconventional benchmark

00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:15.199
there it is 5950x base speed four point

00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:18.800
so we're at 4.4 gigahertz rock frickin

00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:20.319
solid here 64 gigs RAM and

00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:25.440
that's weird why is only one GPU showing up

00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:29.360
no sli okay let's reseat that puppy

00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:34.159
this this is what i wanted to benchmark okay

00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:41.360
check this out CPU utilization 98

00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:45.440
doing what you might ask downloading a game but hold on but hold

00:08:44.560 --> 00:08:50.320
on that's not crazy that's not stupid

00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:55.519
what's happening right now is we're on a 10 gig connection here at the office and

00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:59.680
i am linked right now to the vancouver steam server

00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:06.160
and downloading red dead redemption 2 at a speed of

00:09:00.680 --> 00:09:07.600
500 megabytes per second 500 megabytes

00:09:06.160 --> 00:09:13.200
not mega bit that is 5 gigabit at least it was a

00:09:10.560 --> 00:09:17.440
second ago and why i say that this is a

00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:22.000
benchmark of sorts is that when you download a game typically you're

00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:28.320
downloading and decompressing the files at the same time so you can often end up

00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:31.680
in a very CPU limited scenario so

00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:33.760
is the ryzen 5950x the fastest CPU for

00:09:31.680 --> 00:09:38.080
downloading games if you have mega fast internet

00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:42.720
probably actually let's try grand theft auto now shall we oh one hour 14 minutes

00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:46.640
what ah four minutes 46 seconds that's more

00:09:44.800 --> 00:09:49.600
like it how we doing here 550

00:09:48.160 --> 00:09:52.080
600 600

00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:57.040
guys this is over the internet this is not

00:09:54.240 --> 00:10:01.920
even a cash server local how's our CPU doing

00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:04.640
oh wow CPU usage not even too high that's interesting

00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:09.519
so what you guys need to understand is that

00:10:06.959 --> 00:10:14.079
every game is compressed differently so with red dead for example we were able

00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:17.600
to use all of our cores but still our speeds were lower than grand theft auto

00:10:15.839 --> 00:10:21.279
where grand theft auto seems to be limited to a smaller number of course

00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:24.959
but still we're getting greater speed so it depends how much it's compressed and

00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:29.839
how it's compressed i'm going to download grand theft auto 5 in like two

00:10:27.040 --> 00:10:34.320
and a half freaking minutes oh whoa hey there it goes

00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:40.560
interesting so we got this spike up to 600 plus megabytes a second and CPU

00:10:37.680 --> 00:10:45.440
utilization was actually very low and so i i confess i don't know a ton about

00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:49.200
exactly how they compress these games but it looks like we settled into a

00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:55.120
steady state here and we're back up to 100 CPU utilization fastest game

00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:58.720
downloading pc in the universe it's hard to reach the power button

00:10:58.880 --> 00:11:06.079
oh yeah there's like sd card reader and front usb 3 and type c and everything up

00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:10.640
there couldn't even tell literally can't see over it okay did we just need a

00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:16.240
fresh driver install is that it just a clean install

00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:20.160
okay with sli and g-sync now working the

00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:22.160
last thing left is 240 hertz

00:11:20.160 --> 00:11:26.800
unfortunately there's forum threads from this recently as like 10 days ago with

00:11:24.880 --> 00:11:30.560
people saying NVIDIA and samsung are still working on display stream

00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:35.279
compression compatibility between rtx 3000 and this particular display so i'm

00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:40.800
not even gonna try we're just gonna enjoy it at 120 hertz and play some

00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:45.200
freaking video games here okay ultra nightmare

00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:48.000
all that sensitivity though wait a minute

00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:54.839
you got to be kidding me changing the dpi of my mouse

00:11:51.680 --> 00:11:57.440
change the profile of the whole iq

00:11:54.839 --> 00:12:03.839
ecosystem and turned off the RGB lighting in the system at least this is

00:11:59.680 --> 00:12:06.959
running amazing so we are at half of 5k

00:12:03.839 --> 00:12:10.519
resolution right now running at 170

00:12:06.959 --> 00:12:10.519
frames per second

00:12:12.880 --> 00:12:19.040
and what kind of temps we seeing CPU sitting around 60 degrees

00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:22.959
our GPU that's not doing any work is sitting around 30 something and 50 i'm

00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:25.680
the one that is doing any work let's fire up shadow of the tomb raider now

00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:30.079
since that's one of the few games that actually supports sli i know steve from

00:12:28.560 --> 00:12:34.720
gamer's nexus wouldn't approve of the way that it's like all solid panels and

00:12:32.079 --> 00:12:37.760
you know there's no actual cooling but

00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:42.160
when you have this many fans seems to kind of work out okay also i

00:12:40.079 --> 00:12:46.959
didn't notice this but it looks like there are intentional panel gaps between

00:12:44.880 --> 00:12:49.839
the glass sides here and where these fans are so they are actually able to

00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:54.720
pull in a little bit of air yeah like there's a lot moving out of the back here somehow

00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:59.519
all vent all the time no mumble now let's absolutely crank shadow of the

00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:03.680
tomb raiders green space contact shadows high ray trace shadow quality ultra

00:13:02.560 --> 00:13:06.959
we're still going to turn off motion blur because it's garbage but

00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:13.040
let's open it up this is absolutely freaking nuts

00:13:10.079 --> 00:13:19.040
i have this game completely maxed out and it's still running over 100 FPS

00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:24.720
with like real-time ray tracing set to ultra our gpus so far have peaked at 61

00:13:22.079 --> 00:13:30.079
and 52 degrees respectively not too shabby CPU though as high as 74 degrees

00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:33.680
but that's what happens when you have a pretty low flow rate and you're

00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:37.040
overclocked here it is which witcher 3 5120 by oh

00:13:37.760 --> 00:13:44.720
witcher 3 5120 by 1440 absolutely ultra

00:13:41.920 --> 00:13:48.880
everything again over 100 frames per second man this is a good looking game

00:13:46.880 --> 00:13:52.639
still of course the real test of a gaming system with a hyper-fast

00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:58.079
multi-threaded CPU is an rts

00:13:55.199 --> 00:14:02.000
this is good old anno 1800 pretty demanding when you max it out

00:14:00.160 --> 00:14:06.079
that's really not bad

00:14:03.760 --> 00:14:09.680
now at like the medium zoom level where all of a sudden the streets are like

00:14:07.839 --> 00:14:13.920
populated with all kinds of little ai characters going

00:14:11.760 --> 00:14:20.639
about their little stuff we dropped down to about 30 35 FPS look it's my zoo

00:14:17.920 --> 00:14:25.040
i have horses usage of the primary GPU while playing

00:14:22.800 --> 00:14:29.320
ano 1800 usage of the secondary GPU

00:14:30.079 --> 00:14:36.000
sli come on red dead it's crashing almost

00:14:34.560 --> 00:14:41.920
every time i try to change graphical settings but i managed to get it to hold the resolution this time so

00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:46.079
see if it fires up here yeah this is

00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:50.800
completely broken okay that's fine everyone knows that

00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:53.519
cinebench is every gamer's favorite game anyway

00:14:51.839 --> 00:14:58.959
so let's just close this and see how our 5950x with its 4.4

00:14:56.959 --> 00:15:07.760
gigahertz clock speed rolls through cinebench r20 can we crack 10 000

00:15:03.760 --> 00:15:09.279
oh yeah 10 081 nice

00:15:07.760 --> 00:15:16.639
of course we still haven't showed any scenarios where you'd be able to actually run this display at 240 frames

00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:19.519
per second with this hardware until now

00:15:18.160 --> 00:15:26.639
check that out we're somewhere in the 210 220 FPS range

00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:30.079
good old cs go ladies and gentlemen of course that's running with all the icann

00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:35.519
dion at full resolution which no competitive cs go player would

00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:37.120
ever do so i would expect FPS way in

00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:41.680
excess of that and in fact if you guys want the full skinny check out our full

00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:46.800
review of the ryzen 5000 series launch which went up just a few days ago on the

00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:52.959
channel so conclusion then the digital storm event max with a ryzen 5950x and

00:15:50.079 --> 00:15:59.120
dual rtx 3090s running an sli is it a great value no of course not but is it

00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:04.320
basically the perfect vehicle for celebrating AMD's return to CPU

00:16:01.920 --> 00:16:07.759
gaming dominance yeah

00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:12.800
