1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,359 back at ces 2017 we got our first look 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:10,400 at the Corsair concept slate a 3 00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:14,320 theoretical spiritual successor to the 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:17,119 big bold and beautiful 900d fast forward 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:23,119 to today and we somehow got one of the only two prototypes in existence here in 6 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:27,279 the lab what are we gonna do with it well 7 00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:29,439 how about a balls to the wall 18 core 8 00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:32,800 workstation whoa yeah 9 00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:37,360 wait the producers are telling me that it 10 00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:38,480 will also have a second rig in it for 11 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:42,960 gaming this is madness 12 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:46,640 but you know what isn't madness tunnelbear tunnelbear makes it easy to 13 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:50,480 privately and securely browse a more open internet to try tunnelbear for free 14 00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:53,480 go to tunnelbear.com LTT 15 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:10,000 to give you an idea of how big this case is the box that it came in is big enough 16 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:12,080 for me to comfortably fit inside and 17 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,640 hey when you're this big there's a lot to talk about so let's 18 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:19,119 jump right into an overview of the slate 19 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:25,280 anyway it features nearly 360 degree tempered 20 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:30,159 glass coverage save for the angular top brushed aluminum accents both of the 21 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:34,240 side panels rock strong hinges with magnetic catches and they open like 22 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:39,439 suicide doors for what i'm assuming is extra style points now most hinged side 23 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:43,600 panels actually do open this way but there's something extra special feeling 24 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:47,920 about these ones maybe thanks to their sheer girth and weight 25 00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:54,320 each air intake comes with what are likely the largest slide-in air filters 26 00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:58,560 of any case ever though i guess that comes with the territory then moving on 27 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:03,840 to the inside there's mounting for a whole heck of a lot of hardware 28 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:08,319 and since we have a lot more to cover in this video we're gonna do this in 29 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:13,760 lightning round fashion here in no particular order the slate has mounting 30 00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:17,280 for two motherboards five gpus eight 31 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,560 ssds five hard drives thirteen fans two 32 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:24,000 quadruple one twenty millimeter radiators a triple one forty millimeter 33 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:26,160 radiators two power supplies 34 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:31,200 and probably a dog or three and believe it or not we're planning to 35 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:34,080 make use of all of that space with full 36 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,560 custom hardline water cooling first some planning though 37 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:42,879 yes we plan let's talk about our parts list and do a 38 00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:46,640 dry fit to ensure a that everything is working and b that it will actually all 39 00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:54,239 go in there so the final system is going to be kind of a mullet uh business so that's like 40 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:57,200 content creation 3d rendering etc in the 41 00:02:54,239 --> 00:03:04,080 front and then party that's gaming in the back the ultimate best of both 42 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,920 worlds within a single tower though like 43 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:11,440 a mullet it clearly won't be for everyone let's start with the content 44 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:14,560 creation rig in typical LTT fashion it's 45 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,560 the best of the best Intel's flagship 18 46 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,000 core 7980xe might not be a great value for like 47 00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:25,920 adobe premiere but it does allow for the virtualization 48 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:28,959 of four quad-core systems with two cores 49 00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:32,000 left over to run the hypervisor and for 50 00:03:28,959 --> 00:03:33,280 3d rendering and blender it absolutely 51 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,480 slays in the same spirit of overkill how about 52 00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:43,519 four quadros with a serious amount of motherboard to accommodate them all ASUS 53 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:48,319 rampage six extreme was up to the task with all the pci express lots that we or 54 00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:56,239 pretty much anyone could ever need triple m.2 slots for some rated 480 gig 55 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:59,200 NVMe goodness 10 gig networking and lots 56 00:03:56,239 --> 00:04:01,920 and lots of RGB actually our planning is set to white for the color scheme we 57 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:08,000 have planned so haha take that 2017. 58 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:11,560 to feed those 18 cores with sweet sweet bits and bites Corsair somehow managed 59 00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:17,040 to get us 128 gigs of their vengeance RGB 60 00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:22,000 it's entirely possible that we are single-handedly causing the continuation 61 00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:27,040 of the global dram shortage so sorry about that and then as for a GPU 62 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:31,600 choosing one was a bit of a challenge a challenge in the sense that convincing 63 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:36,639 alex to let us disassemble the 16k gaming machine that he's been using as a 64 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,919 solidworks workstation since then was a challenge 65 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:45,199 not in the sense that we actually had a ton of quadros lying around to choose 66 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:47,360 from so these four p5000s 67 00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:52,720 they don't really match our color scheme but they conveniently support ek's 68 00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:59,479 universal 1080 water block so that is going to be fixed by the next video each 69 00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:01,759 GPU here has a cool 16 gigs of vram and 70 00:04:59,479 --> 00:05:05,520 2560 cuda cores for our power supply we went with the 71 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:09,120 Corsair ax1500i it's one of the only units on the market 72 00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:15,199 that can handle everything in this system then we added some sexy white 73 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:18,000 gray and blue cables from cable mod 74 00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:23,440 on to our itx gaming rig this one is a whole other ball game instead of 75 00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:27,199 focusing on quantity like say cores or 76 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:30,320 gpus it's all about quality now the core 77 00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:33,199 i7 7700k isn't technically Intel's top 78 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:37,600 consumer CPU right now but with a little bit of overclocking we aren't really 79 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:42,479 making any compromises here because like we're still talking about 22 processing 80 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:47,840 cores in a single box the GPU was an easy choice here we went 81 00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:52,160 for NVIDIA's gtx 1080 ti which should handle gaming all the way up to 4k 82 00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:57,520 resolution with relative ease and then we actually managed to get two more 16 83 00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:01,720 gig dimms of Corsair's vengeance RGB ddr4 bringing our case total to a 84 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:08,160 whopping 160 gigabytes of RAM all of that fits 85 00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:12,560 neatly into ASUS z270i which shares a similar monochrome aesthetic with our 86 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:17,280 rampage board and of course has even more RGB which again we're probably not 87 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:23,919 going to use and then this rig has to slum it with a single 480 gig mp500 NVMe 88 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:29,440 SSD for the os and any important programs or games finally it gets 89 00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:31,360 powered by Corsair's sf600 power supply 90 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:34,560 which also gets the same cable mod treatment to stay consistent with the 91 00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:38,639 rest of the build while we're around the back here let's 92 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:46,639 talk storage each one of our systems will get its own 93 00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:50,160 triple 480 gig SATA SSD raid 5 array for 94 00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:54,000 super fast but not as fast as NVMe 95 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:56,479 storage then for mass storage the main 96 00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:02,160 workstation system has an additional three 12 terabyte seagate iron wolf pro 97 00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:07,280 drives that could actually be set up as a nas for both rigs with virtualization 98 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:13,840 actually it could probably serve the rest of the house too if you're into that sort of thing 99 00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:16,960 even with though all this incredibly op 100 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:19,199 hardware the slate still looks almost 101 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:24,560 empty so hopefully water cooling components and lighting will fill it up 102 00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:28,319 a little bit more in part two but before we get to that we want to show you guys 103 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,560 some baseline air cooled numbers for our rig as expected we're looking at pretty 104 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:38,960 good temperatures on the main system with knocked out nhd15 on a 7980xe and 105 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:42,960 then unsurprising GPU thermals for cards that are installed this close together 106 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:47,840 our gaming system was a completely different story though since we could 107 00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:51,039 only fit a Noctua l9i in the space 108 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:54,000 available temperatures on our 7700k were 109 00:07:51,039 --> 00:07:59,120 basically pegged at 100 degrees even with the absurd 30 to 50 throttling we 110 00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:03,039 encountered definitely no thanks to the massive 111 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:08,400 airflow restrictions in the form of the four quadros and the 1080 ti hopefully 112 00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:13,599 though we'll be able to do a little bit better than both of them with a couple 113 00:08:09,919 --> 00:08:15,680 of d5 pumps and some thick radiators but 114 00:08:13,599 --> 00:08:20,960 again you'll have to stay tuned for part two for that 115 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:25,199 speaking of part two have you ever had one of your devices and it's in two 116 00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:31,039 parts and you want to put them back together wow
