WEBVTT 00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:06.480 so we did a really cool project a little while ago we called it two Gamers one 00:00:04.520 --> 00:00:10.000 CPU you can check it out here where we' got one gaming tower with a couple 00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:15.000 graphics cards in it extreme Edition processor all that stuff and it runs two 00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:21.320 separate instances of Star Wars Battlefront and we used a software for 00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:23.039 that called unraid that um while they 00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:28.599 kind of came back to us and we're like yeah that's really cool they were also 00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:35.239 kind of throwing in Hay but that isn't really the point for most people and so 00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:39.600 they decided to sponsor a video where we show off a more practical application 00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:44.800 for this virtualization technology that let us run two gaming rigs in one Tower 00:00:42.559 --> 00:00:49.039 and this time instead of using crazy Overkill Hardware we're using I'd say 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:55.199 Enthusiast but not completely overthe toop stuff to have a single gaming rig 00:00:52.480 --> 00:01:01.359 pull double duty as a gaming rig and also as the file server for the rest of 00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:06.940 the household so stay tuned guys we're going to be doing a gaming rig and a Nas 00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:11.890 in one 00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:20.880 box the Logitech g303 features a lightweight design an advanced Optical 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:24.840 sensor with Delta zero technology for precise tracking and RGB lighting check 00:01:23.320 --> 00:01:31.000 out the link in the video description to learn more so let's go through the rationale 00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:37.720 of all the hardware while we we assemble the computer itself for our CPU we chose 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.840 a core i7 6700k skyl processor in any 00:01:37.720 --> 00:01:44.680 case where you're going to be using virtualization you will a need a CPU 00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:47.880 that supports virtualization and B want 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:49.799 one with more cores and or more thread 00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:53.079 so hyperthreading on this CPU is a definite Boon we're going to be 00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:57.719 installing that in a z170 deluxe motherboard from Aus it's a fully 00:01:55.159 --> 00:02:02.280 featured board and has lots of PCI Express Lanes and dual land if you you 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:06.759 know wanted to team your Nicks or something along those lines in the 00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:10.200 future and also has the virtualization 00:02:06.759 --> 00:02:12.040 support that we need in terms of RAM 00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:16.400 ddr4 is all you're going to be able to use in this case the speed doesn't 00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:19.840 really matter however the one thing to note is that the more virtualized 00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:25.120 operating systems that you're going to be using the more you will need in this 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:29.400 case we're just demoing a gaming rig and a NZ so there's really no need for us to 00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:33.519 go completely Overkill so we've gone with 16 gigs of RAM the casee was a 00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:39.440 pretty tough choice cuz I wanted something that would allow for more hard 00:02:36.239 --> 00:02:41.920 drive expansion remember this is a Nas 00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:46.800 also in addition to being a gaming rig but that wasn't going to compromise the 00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:51.440 cooling Andor expansion capabilities of the gaming rig itself so I settled on 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:56.920 the Silverstone tjo for bew and then Silverstone also sent over 00:02:54.239 --> 00:03:02.159 a 750 W power supply giving us lots of room for hard drive expansion in terms 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:04.720 of the power budget as well as this is 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:12.159 cool so this is a brand new thing their fs305 so this is a 5x3 and 1/2 in 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:13.480 toolless hot swap hard drive cage thing 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:18.720 that we're going to be mounting in the front of the case this is very nazzy 00:03:16.720 --> 00:03:24.000 whereas the inside of the case is very just normal gaming Towery and I felt 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:31.000 like this combo was a really really good one which brings us to storage now we're 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:33.360 using Kingston's 1 tbte KC for 400 ssds 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:38.360 note that I say ssds because we have two of them the reason for this is that 00:03:35.640 --> 00:03:42.439 while you could pick any other capacity of SSD that you want it is important to 00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:48.080 have two of them because this gives us two advantages one is it protects Us in 00:03:44.920 --> 00:03:49.799 the event of a hardware failure and two 00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:54.159 actually that's really the main advantage unraid is going to really want 00:03:51.879 --> 00:04:00.120 you to have these protected so uh yes we'll be running them in a butter FS 00:03:56.040 --> 00:04:02.480 raid one next up we've got our hard 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:08.959 drives so we're using seates Enterprise capacity V5 SATA hard drives for Nas 00:04:05.640 --> 00:04:13.599 functionality these are about as fast 00:04:08.959 --> 00:04:16.239 and reliable and just generally ba as it 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:19.919 gets but once again in terms of what you're going to be using you have a lot 00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:25.520 of flexibility in terms of both the hardware as well as the capacity that 00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:29.320 you want to go with in this case at least two drives is recommended again to 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:34.880 keep your NZ safe in the event of a hardware failure but you get much better 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:40.639 scaling in terms of the capacity per investment if you go to three drives or 00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:42.280 more and use a parity setup versus a 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:47.759 raid one setup so we're going to have five drives so we can fill up that front 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:49.840 Bay device that we have the video card 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:54.000 was an easy choice I basically grabbed whatever was on my test bench and threw 00:04:51.479 --> 00:04:58.800 it in our motherboard has Onboard video so that takes care of running the web UI 00:04:56.120 --> 00:05:04.000 for unraid and then that video card is going to be passed through through to 00:05:00.039 --> 00:05:06.960 our Windows 10 VM for its full we hope 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:13.479 functionality in games we could use any card AMD NVIDIA it really doesn't matter 00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:16.560 One Challenge we ran into was that our 00:05:13.479 --> 00:05:19.120 hot swap cage didn't actually fit in the 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:24.280 front of this case without removing some small little tab shelf things designed 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:28.720 for normal 5 and a/4 in devices like Optical drives but that was nothing that 00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:33.560 we couldn't solve With a Little Help from our friend Miss Mr Dremel and our 00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:38.199 other friend Mr vacuum cleaner okay so now that the system is 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:41.880 physically constructed there's just one little trick when you're plugging in all 00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:47.080 your cables plug your display cable into the dedicated graphics card for now then 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:49.800 power on the system for the first time press delete to get into the BIOS and 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:57.639 we're going to change a couple small settings here go to Advanced system agent Graphics configuration set your 00:05:54.000 --> 00:06:00.400 primary display to igfx and igpu multim 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:04.120 monitor to disabled this will allow unraid to grab the onboard Graphics 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:09.199 leaving the discret card free for your gaming VM make sure that if you're 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:14.000 planning to use the unraid desktop goey you've got your monitor plugged into the 00:06:10.840 --> 00:06:16.319 onboard Graphics now after you make this 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:20.560 change another small setting that you're going to have to enable is 00:06:18.479 --> 00:06:26.080 virtualization so go ahead and make that change as well go to another PC and 00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:29.199 create a bootable unraid USB drive according to the instructions on their 00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:34.360 site plug that into the back of the computer and get her booted up once you 00:06:31.919 --> 00:06:39.440 reach the web UI go into settings identification and rename your Tower to 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:44.080 something more recognizable on the network enable network bridge under 00:06:41.880 --> 00:06:48.080 Network it's normal to lose connectivity here for a few seconds and then if it 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:52.000 doesn't come back right away use that recognizable name that you set to 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:57.879 navigate to it in a web browser next navigate to the main Tab and assign 00:06:53.960 --> 00:07:00.759 discs to the array and to the cache the 00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:05.599 array is your slower larger magnetic storage devices your hard drives and the 00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:10.960 cache is those high-speed solid state drives that we installed next start the 00:07:08.440 --> 00:07:15.199 array you can see that a parody sync is running we can start using the system 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:20.639 immediately to continue setting it up but you should be aware that data on the 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:23.240 array is not protected until the parody 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:27.879 sync is completed this takes quite a while but it's worth it because it 00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:33.560 allows a failed drive to be replaced and the data to be rebuilt in the event of a 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:35.599 drive failure format the unmountable 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:40.840 discs please note that this will wipe all data off the discs then refresh and 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:46.440 it should be done within a few seconds next let's go over to shares and 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:50.840 start creating we're going to do the nas shares first and here's some general 00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:55.440 rules if you're going to copy data over the network to this share then you'll 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:59.960 want to enable this share to use the cash everything else can be default 00:07:58.280 --> 00:08:04.440 although minimum free SP is kind of important to set you want to 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:08.680 set this to a value that is larger than the largest file you could see yourself 00:08:06.520 --> 00:08:14.599 copying to the share this will prevent out of space errors so for example for a 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:18.919 media share you might set this to 25 gigs next we're going to create another 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:23.240 share for backups for this one we are going to enable the use of the SSD cache 00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:27.680 so we can take advantage of faster local network transfer speeds remember data 00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:31.199 from the cache moves to the array nightly we're going to create a Shadow 00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:34.599 play share for game footage you know this is supposed to be a gaming machine 00:08:32.760 --> 00:08:38.959 and all that but for this one there's no need to enable the cash because Shadow 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:42.919 play won't write more than 5 megabytes per second at a time and will never 00:08:40.640 --> 00:08:48.279 exceed the speed of the array even if we turn off the faster writing speed option 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:52.440 another cool share to create is a game Library share so if you predominantly 00:08:50.160 --> 00:08:55.920 use steam you can actually map a network drive in the OS later and we'll show you 00:08:54.200 --> 00:09:00.399 how to do this and throw all of your steam gains especially the ones that 00:08:57.839 --> 00:09:03.920 don't suffer from slow loading times or that are large or you don't play that 00:09:01.839 --> 00:09:08.079 often and throw them onto the magnetic storage rather than taking up space on 00:09:05.920 --> 00:09:13.760 your SSD the last thing that you'll see here is US setting up our domains and 00:09:09.920 --> 00:09:15.399 isos shares for VMS um we're doing this 00:09:13.760 --> 00:09:20.519 manually the same way we did in the two Gamers one CPU video but by the time 6.2 00:09:18.040 --> 00:09:23.600 goes public beta uh this will be done for you and you won't have to worry 00:09:21.839 --> 00:09:27.079 about it please note these ones are not exported which means that they won't be 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:31.279 browsable by other network attached devices this is fine we intend them to 00:09:29.079 --> 00:09:36.200 use on the local machine next we're going to enable VMS in settings VM 00:09:33.839 --> 00:09:41.360 manager click the download button next to vert iio driver then we need to copy 00:09:39.160 --> 00:09:45.560 a Windows ISO this can be downloaded legally from Microsoft directly to the 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:50.399 iso's folder using another networked computer in my case I've got it on a USB 00:09:48.040 --> 00:09:56.040 stick on this computer in front of me now this is an advanced and therefore 00:09:52.760 --> 00:09:58.360 optional step it's possible to not only 00:09:56.040 --> 00:10:04.079 manually assign plugged-in USB devices to your VM before you boot it mice 00:10:00.920 --> 00:10:06.920 keyboards XLR audio interfaces Etc but 00:10:04.079 --> 00:10:12.760 it's also possible to completely pass through an entire USB controller to your 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:14.880 VM so we threw a random dual USB 3 Port 00:10:12.760 --> 00:10:18.959 PCI E card into our system and we're going to show you guys how we can pass 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:23.200 it through to enable hot plugging in some cases you'll be able to assign some 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:27.560 of the onboard ports on your motherboard to your VM while leaving others to 00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:31.880 unraid to deal with but this varies from motherboard to motherboard and platform 00:10:29.079 --> 00:10:36.959 to platform Skylake for example for the same reason we couldn't pass through our 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:39.680 onboard audio can have trouble with this 00:10:36.959 --> 00:10:44.720 using putty a free tool log into your server using the unraid username rout by 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:50.560 default then run this command to see all USB controllers in the system our NEC 00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:55.000 PCIe USB device is the one that we added ourselves the next command shows us the 00:10:52.959 --> 00:10:59.360 vendor product ID which we've highlighted then we go back to the 00:10:57.040 --> 00:11:05.320 unraid web guei and in the main tab we click the flash device then put pc- 00:11:02.160 --> 00:11:08.120 stub. IDs equals and paste the ID we got 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:12.560 from before and hit apply the system will need to be rebooted at this stage 00:11:09.839 --> 00:11:16.920 so stop the array and reboot once rebooted we can start the array then go 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:21.480 to VMS and add our first VM just click Windows 10 change the name to what you 00:11:18.959 --> 00:11:25.959 want assign CPU cores I generally recommend assigning the hyperthreaded 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:31.279 cores and the physical cores to the same assignment we've gone with 12 gigs of 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:33.760 RAM for games and chrome we're going to 00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:38.000 pick our Windows installation media for storage we're going to assign most of 00:11:35.760 --> 00:11:42.440 our SSD space to our VM using just a little bit for our cash then we pick out 00:11:40.040 --> 00:11:47.880 our video card we pass through only the NVIDIA HDMI audio due to immu issues 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:51.440 with the onboard audio then we're passing through the USB devices that we 00:11:49.680 --> 00:11:55.959 recognize so you'll see three Logitech ones for our keyboard mouse and USB 00:11:53.279 --> 00:12:00.399 gaming headset then that optional step from before we can pass through our NEC 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:04.880 USB controller which gives us those hot pluggable ports so we don't have to 00:12:02.160 --> 00:12:09.760 restart our VM to plug in a USB drive or something along those lines all right so 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:16.480 we are finally finally at the end of our journey but first this is very important 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:20.079 this HDMI cable comes out of the Onboard 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:22.560 video and goes into our dedicated 00:12:20.079 --> 00:12:27.000 graphics card because otherwise when we boot up the VM there's going to be no 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:32.399 video output because we assigned that dedicated graphics card to our VM so 00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:39.199 here we go oh 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:42.120 yes 12 gigs of system memory tested okay 00:12:39.199 --> 00:12:47.639 is amazing so now we install Windows the way that we just kind of normally would 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:49.000 mostly stay tuned okay so here's the 00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:55.440 trick you're going to get to the point where it asks where you want to install Windows and there's nothing there so you 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:58.120 want to load drivers click browse and 00:12:55.440 --> 00:13:06.040 then you're going to navigate to your CD drive convert IO win 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:08.519 0.1.1 then go to the Vio store folder 00:13:06.040 --> 00:13:13.399 then you're going to go to Windows 8.1 amd64 and press okay then 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:20.399 next yes third times the charm now we 00:13:18.959 --> 00:13:25.000 can install Windows next so now that TR at the 00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:29.360 desktop you'll have to install drivers for any devices that are missing them so 00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:33.160 for any of the stuff you don't recognize you're probably just going to navigate 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:37.440 to your ver iio and manually add drivers and then you're probably going to want 00:13:34.040 --> 00:13:39.360 to throw some graphics drivers on and 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:42.279 then actually there's some other post Windows installed tuning things that you 00:13:41.079 --> 00:13:46.839 might want to check out from two Gamers one CPU but other than that that's 00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:51.759 pretty much it so I'll show you guys how to utilize your array shares to make 00:13:49.920 --> 00:13:55.680 mapped network drives so that you can have all your Shadow play stuff go to 00:13:53.240 --> 00:14:01.000 one place uh so that you can have all of your Steam games install in another 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:04.880 place um but really the sky is the limit here you can create as many shares 00:14:02.839 --> 00:14:09.079 within unrate as you want and then you can map as many network drives as you 00:14:07.079 --> 00:14:13.600 want as well anytime you want to make changes you just go into a browser go to 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:18.519 gaming Nas in our case or whatever it is that you want to call it and then you've 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:22.839 got access to the entire unraid console to create more shares change any 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:26.880 settings or do things like oh hey I'm going to for stop my VM I wouldn't 00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:31.399 recommend doing that that'll shut down the computer you're using immediately so 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:36.040 all that's left now is the day-to-day usability so you can set your VMS to 00:14:33.959 --> 00:14:39.519 auto start by just going to the VMS Tab and going yeah anytime I turn this 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:44.519 machine on I want my gaming rig to start up and my monitor to turn on and all 00:14:41.800 --> 00:14:48.279 that stuff and then yeah I guess there's a couple little things that you might 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:52.040 want to invest in to make your life a bit easier like having an extra keyboard 00:14:49.880 --> 00:14:56.079 and mouse as well as an extra display cable so you can use the multiple inputs 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:58.639 of your monitor to switch if you're desperate and you have to get it the 00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:02.399 gooey because you can't access it over the network or whatever else but the 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:08.720 cost of those items compared to if you had to buy a standalone NZ for your 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:10.240 household is much much lower but of 00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:15.959 course that would all be meaningless if the performance of the finished machine 00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:17.320 wasn't still you know pretty much on par 00:15:15.959 --> 00:15:24.759 with the gaming machine that you intended to buy for yourself so let's 00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:26.959 have a quick look here boom Crisis 3 my 00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:31.920 friends and check this out I'm going to initiate a file 00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:38.800 transfer to myself gaming Nas media and check this 00:15:34.839 --> 00:15:41.680 out no frame rate dip copying at 100 00:15:38.800 --> 00:15:46.519 megabytes per second and if we Tab out check this out we can even see real time 00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:51.480 stats of what's going on with our storage and our networking and the 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:56.680 transfer is done already so that was fast so there you have it guys it 00:15:54.199 --> 00:16:00.079 actually worked there is more to UNR than this especially if you want to 00:15:58.040 --> 00:16:05.240 start tinkering with other virtual machines and all that kind of stuff but 00:16:03.160 --> 00:16:10.279 I thought that this use case scenario was super applicable to our audience 00:16:07.959 --> 00:16:15.319 where you've probably only got you know one BA gaming rig in the house you 00:16:12.560 --> 00:16:19.160 probably have a use for network attached storage and sharing uh off-site backup a 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:24.000 lot of the other functionality that you can dig a little deeper and get at with 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:29.120 Docker containers and stuff like that so being able to combine that functionality 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:33.399 rather than buying a separate uh mother board separate CPU separate case 00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:38.160 separate power supply being able to do all of that off of one single high 00:16:35.199 --> 00:16:44.600 quality machine I personally think is pretty darn cool so let us know with a 00:16:41.560 --> 00:16:46.120 comment and a like below if you agree 00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:50.279 which I guess leads us pretty well into our sponsor for today's episode Logitech 00:16:48.880 --> 00:16:54.800 we've actually had a lot of Logitech stuff going on in here we got the g91 00:16:52.839 --> 00:17:00.360 and Spark we've got the g502 Proteus core but the focus today is the g633 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:04.799 emis spect headset it's been completely redesigned by Logitech from their 00:17:02.160 --> 00:17:08.079 previous headsets to be better in well pretty much every possible way it's USB 00:17:06.520 --> 00:17:13.160 with support for surround it's more comfortable it's more durable it sounds 00:17:09.959 --> 00:17:15.039 better and with the uh that's actually 00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:19.520 that's a lot better it was a monitoring is on so I can hear myself talking and 00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:23.600 with the fold out and extend perfectly positionable microphone you will sound 00:17:21.360 --> 00:17:25.839 better to your gaming friends as well we've got a link in the video 00:17:24.520 --> 00:17:29.440 description where you can learn more about this puppy you can be like oh yeah 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:34.280 I want to know more about the you know 40 mm prot tuned drivers and I want to 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:38.679 know more about the you know comfort and the shape of the ear cups that is 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:42.320 actually the shape of ears I mean does anyone on Earth actually have round ears 00:17:40.679 --> 00:17:46.799 I don't know I've never actually seen one so check out that link in the video 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:50.200 description all right thanks for watching guys if you disliked this video 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:55.640 you know where that button is but if you liked it hit the like button get subscribed and maybe even consider I 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:59.080 don't know uh supporting us by shopping on Amazon we've got the instructions for 00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:03.520 how to do that up there you can also buy a cool shirt like this one or you can give us a monthly contribution through 00:18:01.679 --> 00:18:06.159 our Forum get yourself a Nifty little contributor badge now that you're done 00:18:05.120 --> 00:18:10.440 doing all that stuff you're probably wondering what to watch next and hey how 00:18:08.679 --> 00:18:15.559 about you go back and watch two Gamers one CPU if you hadn't already it's also 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:20.480 using un raid but in that case we actually ignored the nas functionality 00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:25.320 entirely and did two gaming VMS off of a single machine both with pretty much 00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:29.400 bare to the metal performance it is pretty darn impressive
