WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:07.359
back at ces 2017 we got our first look

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:10.400
at the Corsair concept slate a

00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:14.320
theoretical spiritual successor to the

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:17.119
big bold and beautiful 900d fast forward

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:23.119
to today and we somehow got one of the only two prototypes in existence here in

00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:27.279
the lab what are we gonna do with it well

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:29.439
how about a balls to the wall 18 core

00:00:27.279 --> 00:00:32.800
workstation whoa yeah

00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:37.360
wait the producers are telling me that it

00:00:34.239 --> 00:00:38.480
will also have a second rig in it for

00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:42.960
gaming this is madness

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:46.640
but you know what isn't madness tunnelbear tunnelbear makes it easy to

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:50.480
privately and securely browse a more open internet to try tunnelbear for free

00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:53.480
go to tunnelbear.com LTT

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

00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:12.080
for me to comfortably fit inside and

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.640
hey when you're this big there's a lot to talk about so let's

00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:19.119
jump right into an overview of the slate

00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:25.280
anyway it features nearly 360 degree tempered

00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:30.159
glass coverage save for the angular top brushed aluminum accents both of the

00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:34.240
side panels rock strong hinges with magnetic catches and they open like

00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:39.439
suicide doors for what i'm assuming is extra style points now most hinged side

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:43.600
panels actually do open this way but there's something extra special feeling

00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:47.920
about these ones maybe thanks to their sheer girth and weight

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:54.320
each air intake comes with what are likely the largest slide-in air filters

00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:58.560
of any case ever though i guess that comes with the territory then moving on

00:01:56.320 --> 00:02:03.840
to the inside there's mounting for a whole heck of a lot of hardware

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

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:13.760
lightning round fashion here in no particular order the slate has mounting

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:17.280
for two motherboards five gpus eight

00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:18.560
ssds five hard drives thirteen fans two

00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:24.000
quadruple one twenty millimeter radiators a triple one forty millimeter

00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:26.160
radiators two power supplies

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:31.200
and probably a dog or three and believe it or not we're planning to

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:34.080
make use of all of that space with full

00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:36.560
custom hardline water cooling first some planning though

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:42.879
yes we plan let's talk about our parts list and do a

00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:46.640
dry fit to ensure a that everything is working and b that it will actually all

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

00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:57.200
content creation 3d rendering etc in the

00:02:54.239 --> 00:03:04.080
front and then party that's gaming in the back the ultimate best of both

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:05.920
worlds within a single tower though like

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:11.440
a mullet it clearly won't be for everyone let's start with the content

00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:14.560
creation rig in typical LTT fashion it's

00:03:11.440 --> 00:03:16.560
the best of the best Intel's flagship 18

00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:20.000
core 7980xe might not be a great value for like

00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:25.920
adobe premiere but it does allow for the virtualization

00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:28.959
of four quad-core systems with two cores

00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:32.000
left over to run the hypervisor and for

00:03:28.959 --> 00:03:33.280
3d rendering and blender it absolutely

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:38.480
slays in the same spirit of overkill how about

00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:43.519
four quadros with a serious amount of motherboard to accommodate them all ASUS

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

00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:56.239
pretty much anyone could ever need triple m.2 slots for some rated 480 gig

00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:59.200
NVMe goodness 10 gig networking and lots

00:03:56.239 --> 00:04:01.920
and lots of RGB actually our planning is set to white for the color scheme we

00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:08.000
have planned so haha take that 2017.

00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:11.560
to feed those 18 cores with sweet sweet bits and bites Corsair somehow managed

00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:17.040
to get us 128 gigs of their vengeance RGB

00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:22.000
it's entirely possible that we are single-handedly causing the continuation

00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:27.040
of the global dram shortage so sorry about that and then as for a GPU

00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:31.600
choosing one was a bit of a challenge a challenge in the sense that convincing

00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:36.639
alex to let us disassemble the 16k gaming machine that he's been using as a

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:39.919
solidworks workstation since then was a challenge

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:45.199
not in the sense that we actually had a ton of quadros lying around to choose

00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:47.360
from so these four p5000s

00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:52.720
they don't really match our color scheme but they conveniently support ek's

00:04:49.840 --> 00:04:59.479
universal 1080 water block so that is going to be fixed by the next video each

00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:01.759
GPU here has a cool 16 gigs of vram and

00:04:59.479 --> 00:05:05.520
2560 cuda cores for our power supply we went with the

00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:09.120
Corsair ax1500i it's one of the only units on the market

00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:15.199
that can handle everything in this system then we added some sexy white

00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:18.000
gray and blue cables from cable mod

00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:23.440
on to our itx gaming rig this one is a whole other ball game instead of

00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:27.199
focusing on quantity like say cores or

00:05:23.440 --> 00:05:30.320
gpus it's all about quality now the core

00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:33.199
i7 7700k isn't technically Intel's top

00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:37.600
consumer CPU right now but with a little bit of overclocking we aren't really

00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:42.479
making any compromises here because like we're still talking about 22 processing

00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:47.840
cores in a single box the GPU was an easy choice here we went

00:05:45.280 --> 00:05:52.160
for NVIDIA's gtx 1080 ti which should handle gaming all the way up to 4k

00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:57.520
resolution with relative ease and then we actually managed to get two more 16

00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:01.720
gig dimms of Corsair's vengeance RGB ddr4 bringing our case total to a

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:08.160
whopping 160 gigabytes of RAM all of that fits

00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:12.560
neatly into ASUS z270i which shares a similar monochrome aesthetic with our

00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:17.280
rampage board and of course has even more RGB which again we're probably not

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

00:06:21.440 --> 00:06:29.440
SSD for the os and any important programs or games finally it gets

00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:31.360
powered by Corsair's sf600 power supply

00:06:29.440 --> 00:06:34.560
which also gets the same cable mod treatment to stay consistent with the

00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:38.639
rest of the build while we're around the back here let's

00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:46.639
talk storage each one of our systems will get its own

00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:50.160
triple 480 gig SATA SSD raid 5 array for

00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:54.000
super fast but not as fast as NVMe

00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:56.479
storage then for mass storage the main

00:06:54.000 --> 00:07:02.160
workstation system has an additional three 12 terabyte seagate iron wolf pro

00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:07.280
drives that could actually be set up as a nas for both rigs with virtualization

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

00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:16.960
even with though all this incredibly op

00:07:13.840 --> 00:07:19.199
hardware the slate still looks almost

00:07:16.960 --> 00:07:24.560
empty so hopefully water cooling components and lighting will fill it up

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

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:32.560
some baseline air cooled numbers for our rig as expected we're looking at pretty

00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:38.960
good temperatures on the main system with knocked out nhd15 on a 7980xe and

00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:42.960
then unsurprising GPU thermals for cards that are installed this close together

00:07:40.880 --> 00:07:47.840
our gaming system was a completely different story though since we could

00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:51.039
only fit a Noctua l9i in the space

00:07:47.840 --> 00:07:54.000
available temperatures on our 7700k were

00:07:51.039 --> 00:07:59.120
basically pegged at 100 degrees even with the absurd 30 to 50 throttling we

00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:03.039
encountered definitely no thanks to the massive

00:08:01.280 --> 00:08:08.400
airflow restrictions in the form of the four quadros and the 1080 ti hopefully

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

00:08:09.919 --> 00:08:15.680
of d5 pumps and some thick radiators but

00:08:13.599 --> 00:08:20.960
again you'll have to stay tuned for part two for that

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

00:08:23.919 --> 00:08:31.039
parts and you want to put them back together wow that was painful ifixit has

00:08:29.039 --> 00:08:36.959
got the tools for you not to mention the guides ifixit is all about helping

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:42.560
people repair and upgrade their devices and their iconic black and blue protect

00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:45.680
tool kit is now only 59.95 it's got

00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:47.839
their 64-bit driver kit a wide variety

00:08:45.680 --> 00:08:51.839
of opening tools spudgers and picks so you can safely poke and pry their

00:08:49.920 --> 00:08:56.240
suction cup that makes it easy to remove display assemblies and their own rubber

00:08:53.760 --> 00:09:02.160
handled jimmy pry tool along with esd safe tweezers metal spudgers an esd

00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:04.720

go check it out over at ifixit.com Linus and get your own fully loaded

00:09:06.800 --> 00:09:11.519
protech tool kit for just 60 bucks

00:09:09.839 --> 00:09:15.519
honestly it costs less than paying someone to repair your device once and

00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.399
you can use it forever so thanks for watching guys if this

00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:22.880
video sucked you know what to do but if it was awesome get subscribed hit that

00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:25.839
like button or maybe wait get subscribed oh wow there's like someone put a custom

00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:31.519
thing in here something something water cooled beast something something oh yeah
