1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:08,440
today we have kind of a neat system from the NC PC lab now we did our Vesta 6050

2
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:12,599
which uh the Prototype of which you can see right here we showed it running

3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:16,720
games we showed it being sort of designed okay so that's all fine and

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:21,080
cool but we had a customer come to us and uh this is one of the first 6050

5
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:24,760
series Systems off of our production line he came to us and he said well I

6
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:29,000
want the Vesta 6050 I like the overall spec I want to make a couple small

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:32,840
tweaks but I don't want such a big case I have some space considerations for

8
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:36,920
where I'm putting my computer and we kind of went okay well what we'll do is

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:43,640
we'll uh we'll see what we can do to customize the 650 into the smaller

10
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,719
Define R3 chassis versus the larger

11
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:50,719
Define XL chassis so we made a couple tweaks first of all the modu vent

12
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,840
feature here uh we've taken off the

13
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:59,160
sound dampening material and replaced it with a 140 mm exhaust fan so we do have

14
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:04,040
some uh slightly warm air coming out of here that's drawing heat away from the

15
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:06,799
graphics cards and other than that most of the internal specs are the same but

16
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:13,520
the first thing I want to show you is the CPU temps so we are running the

17
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:16,880
h70 so we are getting temperatures only

18
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:19,880
as high as 60° that is with all 12

19
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:23,240
threads on this 980x he did upgrade to a

20
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:26,920
980x 6 core CPU all 12 threads are at

21
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:28,280
100% using prime 95 small fft so now we

22
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:34,399
can take the side panel off and obviously the temperatures are going to get even a little bit better once we

23
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:38,000
remove the side panel Okay so we've taken that off here we go so I'll show

24
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:42,759
you all of the other tweaks that he made to his personal config first he changed

25
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:48,200
to an hx850 wat power supply from the tx850 power supply that is in the spec

26
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:51,880
that allows us to uh maintain better Cable Management in this small case so

27
00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:56,119
we can make sure we have adequate air flow bringing air from the front of the

28
00:01:53,560 --> 00:02:00,479
case here from these 2 120 mil fans over to the graphics cards okay so that's one

29
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:05,039
change that he made another change that he made is he added a killer Nick 2100

30
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:10,679
these were on like crazy Black Friday promo for $449.99 so U yeah it's kind of

31
00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:16,319
a no-brainer at that price okay we've also added a storage drive now instead

32
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:21,640
of using the WD green series he opted for a velociraptor series Drive in

33
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:26,800
addition to his ocz vertex 2 SSD and then I believe that is oh yeah

34
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:33,400
finally of course he upgraded to a 980x 6 core processor from the 950 quad core

35
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:39,159
that we normally use so yeah you can clearly see that there now as an

36
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,879
experiment we kind of built one built the system for him and this is right out

37
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,480
of our production lab this is not a prototype built by crazy Russian or

38
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:54,040
anything like that so this is pretty much what you can expect if you buy a system from NC and uh so we also wanted

39
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:57,480
to run some 3D benchmarks to ensure that even with the side panel closed we're

40
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:05,560
not going to get any overheating because two GTX 480s is 480s 580s is a pretty

41
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:09,480
significant heat load and we also found that even with the two 580s the six cor

42
00:03:07,959 --> 00:03:14,319
processor etc etc there was no overheating now another thing that

43
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:20,480
people seem to be concerned about and I I can't imagine why with our Vesta 6050

44
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:28,280
prototype was that we were using an 850 W power supply with two GTX 580s

45
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:30,480
well it's fine I can tell you that right

46
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:35,640
now even with the 980s upgrade that we've made here this system running

47
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:41,720
Prime 95 in the background running 3D Mark Vantage pulls no more than 726

48
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:47,360
Watts from the wall now factoring in that the hx850 is about 88%

49
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:52,959
efficient that means that we are actually pulling no more than 650 Watts

50
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:58,560
from that power supply well within its rated capacity you've got an extra 200

51
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:02,799
watts of additional power available yeah you're not going to be adding another

52
00:03:59,879 --> 00:04:07,480
GTX 580 with that kind of of an overhead but you also don't have to worry about

53
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:13,480
adding any additional drives or adding a sound card or adding some more RAM

54
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:16,040
that's a a non concern with 200 watts of

55
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:19,919
additional room it also means that that I mean that's only when you're under the

56
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:24,680
the highest load okay so when you're at idle you're pulling like a very very

57
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:29,600
small portion of what this power supply is capable of achieving so we're going

58
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:34,840
to run Vantage for you guys I'm going to put put the side panel back on so you've

59
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:37,120
seen the max temps with the Corsair h70

60
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:41,160
uh running with full load on the CPU but I also want to show you guys just how

61
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:45,080
high the graphics cards get when we close this up and let it

62
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:51,320
cook all right so we finished our Vantage test we've got SLI enabled

63
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:53,080
obviously uh fizx however is off just so

64
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:57,440
that we have scores that are more easily reproducible if you want to compare at

65
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:03,120
home and you can see we scored 36,000 3D marks and that is in the

66
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:10,320
performance mode you can tell by the P at the beginning and then the hottest

67
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:13,160
that our gpus got are 87° on the top GPU

68
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:16,720
and 80° on the bottom one that is pretty darn good although I have to tell you

69
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:21,840
guys in some of the testing we did see it peek up around as high as 90 but you

70
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:26,759
know it's still well within reason for a GTX 580 I also meant to mention that one

71
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:33,319
of the other small tweaks that was made from this machine was dual 120 mm fan in

72
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,360
the front rather than only a single and

73
00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:39,520
a card reader so that well the card reader is not all that significant but

74
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:42,880
the uh the changes to the front intake are somewhat significant so thanks for

75
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:47,199
checking out this little video on one of our well I mean I could call it a Vesta

76
00:05:44,919 --> 00:05:51,319
6050 but it's fairly customized because we did have to use a different case and

77
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:54,280
revalidate The Thermals for that different case but yeah thanks for

78
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:58,639
checking out the video on this custom system from NC and don't forget to
