1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:07,520 okay so we built seven Gamers one CPU a 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:11,799 $30,000 computer running unraid as an operating system and using it and some 3 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:18,880 really cool open- Source virtualization technology to run seven discret gaming 4 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:23,800 virtual machines at once all fully capable of like high performance gaming 5 00:00:21,519 --> 00:00:28,480 so that was cool $30,000 computer two thumbs up very awesome 10 out of 10 IGN 6 00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:32,719 Etc then what we did was we showed it off at CES okay so we got that out of 7 00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:37,000 the way the world was able to see it in person then after that we brought it 8 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:41,520 back to the office converted our entire conference room here into a land Center 9 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:46,000 and had an inter office gaming competition complete with tan being 10 00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:49,079 terrible at video games yes the very worst one here except he did kill me 11 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:55,000 once and you can check that video out here so you might be asking yourself why 12 00:00:52,199 --> 00:01:00,280 is lion is still milking this damn thing what could possibly be left to do and 13 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:05,500 the answer is of course we're going to overclock 14 00:01:09,799 --> 00:01:16,200 it Intel brings ddr4 to the mainstream 15 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:18,880 with their core i7 6700 K and core i5 16 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:22,600 6600k processors check out the link in the video description to learn more so 17 00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:27,400 the first step anytime you do any Performance Tuning is to get a baseline 18 00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:32,399 measurement because if you don't then you have no idea if the dials you're 19 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,680 turning are doing anything at all so I'm 20 00:01:32,399 --> 00:01:38,799 going to introduce you guys to the benchmarks that we're going to be running cinebench R15 is going to tell 21 00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:42,119 us what we need to know about CPU performance we are going to be using 22 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:47,520 Crystal dis Mark to tell us what we need to know about our SSD array performance 23 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:51,960 IID to 64 cash and memory Benchmark is going to be interesting especially once 24 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:56,320 we run it on all machines at once more on that later and we're going to be 25 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:58,799 using fire strike extreme to see how our 26 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:02,880 gpus are doing some of the stuff that's open is just tempor monitoring and stuff 27 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,600 like that and finally we're going to be having a look using our handy dandy wall 28 00:02:05,479 --> 00:02:12,160 power meter dudad here at what kind of power consumption we see when we're 29 00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:17,760 hitting the whole system at once but let's start with a single VM Baseline 30 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:22,560 with all the other ones sitting idle and I'll show you guys on screen hopefully 31 00:02:19,959 --> 00:02:28,000 right now how I plan to go through this entire test suite and show you guys the 32 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:33,000 scores so here we go we're getting a cin bench score of around 600 we're getting 33 00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:38,879 Crystal dis Mark scores in the uh area of sort of you know two uh gigabytes per 34 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:44,640 second reads and around 400 megabytes per second rights to our array our 35 00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:47,280 memory scores we're seeing about 5 GB 36 00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:53,560 per second so on average reads and wrs to our quad Channel ddr4 memory and our 37 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:56,640 3D Mark fir strike extreme score is 6148 38 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,640 so the next test and this one I will 39 00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:04,959 need some helping hands for is going to be to hit all 7 VMS at once for our 40 00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:09,680 Baseline score to see what happens when they have to actually share resources 41 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:14,760 which especially for things like memory it's not very pleasant sometimes okay so 42 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:19,319 I've assembled a crack Squad of helpers whose intelligence and physical 43 00:03:17,239 --> 00:03:25,120 coordination uh lead me to believe that it is probable nay likely are both kind 44 00:03:23,959 --> 00:03:29,080 of the same thing that they will be able to perform the skills that I set out for 45 00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:34,640 them today task actually not skills don't worry too much about that basically what you guys have to do is 46 00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:40,120 all press a button at the same time oh that's that's not not going to work okay 47 00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:43,200 Colton you're fired again thank you okay 48 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:46,319 so two of you will have to press two 49 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:48,319 buttons at once at the same time Johnny 50 00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:52,200 you got this okay Johnny you're on machines one and two yvon you're on 51 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,280 machine three Colton you're here Nick you're here and I'll go over there and I 52 00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:59,079 will tell you which button to press and you will all press it at the same time 53 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:05,120 you're going to click the button that says Run next to CPU in the cinebench 54 00:04:03,079 --> 00:04:10,040 R15 program has everyone got your cursor positioned yes okay so I'm going to say 55 00:04:08,079 --> 00:04:15,400 don't do it yet I guess teran's not here I don't have to give instructions like 56 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:17,799 that okay it 3 2 1 57 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:23,440 go okay so you can see here with our seven instances of cinebench running we 58 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:26,199 are actually pinning the entire CPU here 59 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:31,639 at 100% usage that was exactly our intent and will tell us without any 60 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:36,479 extra a turbo boost for only activating a couple of cores at a time how all of 61 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:41,320 our VMS can run in a worst case scenario where they are sharing as much resources 62 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:45,919 as possible okay so we're scoring around 500 points which is about 100 lower than 63 00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:55,560 we did when we were just running it on a single VM fascinating okay everyone 64 00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:58,280 ready 3 2 1 go okay so this is 65 00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:02,639 interesting on the read side of things really there wasn't much an effect from 66 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:07,960 the numbers I've looked at so far but on the right side of things some of our VMS 67 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:09,800 were so starved for disc time that they 68 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,759 actually timed out on their sequential right Benchmark very very interesting 69 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:20,039 this isn't something we're going to retest after we overclock because we can't overclock storage but uh I just 70 00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:24,840 wanted to have this as just a for my information sort of number Ida 64 cash 71 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:31,400 and memory Benchmark it's a gray window this one I'm really interested in 72 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:33,639 because desktops really don't care much 73 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:38,400 about their memory bandwidth these days I mean dual Channel quad Channel DDR3 74 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:43,840 ddr4 it's all fast enough but if you're trying to hit 75 00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:45,680 something with s VMS at once I'm 76 00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:49,759 expecting the performance to be affected somewhat it's this is really interesting 77 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:54,880 so you can actually see the systems are running the benchmarks at different 78 00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:58,120 speeds NX VM over here so this is player 79 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,680 number five is actually still running 80 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:04,639 the memory benchmarks or at least at least it was before I uh and mine is 81 00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:09,039 almost done running all of the level one and level two cash benchmarks so it does 82 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:13,000 seem like their ability to even run these tests is affected by the fact that 83 00:06:10,919 --> 00:06:19,400 we're hitting them all at once here we go last one position your cursor over 84 00:06:15,599 --> 00:06:22,120 Run 3 2 1 fire strike 85 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:26,720 extreme thank you for that clicking like random times like okay I guess that's it 86 00:06:24,919 --> 00:06:30,720 3 two one f with extreme okay you guys are dismissed for 87 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:35,800 now thank you I'll call you back once I overclock the system so check this out 88 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:38,199 this is what our uh memory and cach 89 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:45,639 benchmarking looked like this is what our benchmarking looks 90 00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:47,319 like in fir strike extreme so with seven 91 00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:55,000 instances of it running we're actually getting up near 100% utilization closer 92 00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:55,000 to like 90 here 93 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:08,599 okay very interesting so 3D Mark scores not affected much by our CPU and RAM 94 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:13,680 sharing because 3D Mark is mostly dependent on the graphics card and each 95 00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:16,120 VM has its own R9 Nano so all that's 96 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:21,000 left now to do is to record our score so we can create some average score graphs 97 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:24,319 for you guys and establish our Baseline so that we can find out if our 98 00:07:22,759 --> 00:07:29,919 overclocking helps now most Server Motherboard makers 99 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:36,120 do not have any overclocking features but this is a Seuss and this is 100 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:39,319 technically a WS or workstation board so 101 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:41,400 in the AI tweaker menu we've got their 102 00:07:39,319 --> 00:07:47,720 AI overclock tuner which has two settings neither of which I have played 103 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:52,199 with at all manual and OC 104 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:54,479 tune so I'm just going to go let's OC 105 00:07:52,199 --> 00:07:58,520 tune it level three and find out if the system works 106 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:02,130 there's a very good chance this not going to work I have not tested did 107 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,440 this at 108 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:13,960 all so this is actually a really bizarre Quirk of this system it starts up 109 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:20,440 here oh oh if it turns on at all it 110 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:28,080 starts up here oh wow yeah that's not 111 00:08:24,159 --> 00:08:30,759 posting let's clear simos and then 112 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:34,560 uh we will go from there 113 00:08:32,519 --> 00:08:40,919 okay something to see if that does 114 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:44,240 anything oh that was it I need this bar 115 00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:44,240 to get past like 116 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:51,240 here oh that wasn't it like I I 117 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:59,760 oh I know what it is because we did a 118 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:07,440 seimos clear that bio setting that I need the 4G 119 00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:09,320 decoding setting is not enabled so we 120 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:13,160 are not able to boot with all of these PCI 121 00:09:10,959 --> 00:09:19,200 devices so maybe by 122 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:24,880 unplugging all the video cards I will be able to have them not 123 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:30,279 get picked up and I will be able to get into the 124 00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:34,000 BIOS this is how you remove the graphics 125 00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:34,000 cards from Seven Gamers one 126 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:44,680 CPU there we go okay they're out so 127 00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:50,760 now can try again okay so that was 128 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:56,959 it the problem with having a system that doesn't Post in its default 129 00:09:54,079 --> 00:10:02,720 configuration okay so let's try manual this time um 130 00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:05,720 my understanding is that on these types 131 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:09,560 of boards you can expect somewhere in 132 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:13,959 the neighborhood of like5 MHz so just 133 00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:17,959 for LS let's try 105 and see what 134 00:10:13,959 --> 00:10:20,480 happens I'm guessing not a whole lot and 135 00:10:17,959 --> 00:10:20,480 that's what I 136 00:10:21,399 --> 00:10:26,480 got okay then okay so after four 137 00:10:24,959 --> 00:10:30,680 attempts we're back in the BIOS our setting did stick but obviously didn't 138 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:36,519 work so let's try a more conservative 103 which would be a 3% overclock okay 139 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:43,040 so because we have no video card we have to use VNC to get into our VM and find 140 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:48,240 out if everything is working as intended 141 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:49,800 well that is not reporting correctly at 142 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:56,200 all so that's a thing so we're going to have 143 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:59,279 to run a benchmark and find out okay I 144 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:03,079 tell you VMS really screw up hard 145 00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:07,680 Hardware reporting both CPU 146 00:11:03,079 --> 00:11:09,639 Z and Ida 64 are reporting numbers that 147 00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:14,279 would indicate that our CPU is not overclocked but cinebench is reporting 148 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,360 that it is overclocked and even though these scores are not directly comparable 149 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:23,279 because we don't even have any of the other VMS booted we're getting 900 in 150 00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:27,040 cinebench which would indicate that everything's working properly at the 151 00:11:25,399 --> 00:11:31,440 very least so now we can proceed to the next step and put our graphics cards 152 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:38,680 back back in okay all our video cards are showing up which basically means we 153 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:41,000 can start the array and fire up our 154 00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:47,240 VMS did it just do that or did you do that hey all 155 00:11:44,279 --> 00:11:52,959 right say that again so now it is time to overclock our video cards now the R9 156 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,839 Nano isn't uh really known to be much of 157 00:11:52,959 --> 00:11:59,040 an overclocker uh but we're going to go 158 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:02,440 ahead and increase the power limit as high as it goes and we're going to 159 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:11,760 increase our core clock to like I don't know 1050 and see what happens hey 160 00:12:06,839 --> 00:12:13,360 Graphics 1050 MHz just like that I guess 161 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:20,279 water cooling helps a little bit with the whole overclocking the R9 Nano 162 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:24,440 situation very nice what the hell 163 00:12:20,279 --> 00:12:26,360 afterburner is detecting all seven gpus 164 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:32,040 that shouldn't be possible cuz we've passed them through 165 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:34,720 to separate VMS it's also detecting wow 166 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:38,519 afterburner doesn't know what's going on so it's got them all being used while 167 00:12:36,839 --> 00:12:43,880 we're running The Benchmark so it knows there's seven but it doesn't know that 168 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:51,199 it's only using one of them and it's just cloning this core clock graph which 169 00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:54,199 actually has the card not reaching uh 170 00:12:51,199 --> 00:12:57,160 not reaching 1,000 mahz anyway 171 00:12:54,199 --> 00:13:01,959 so I guess all that's left now then is to run some benchmarks and find out if 172 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:08,920 we got any benefit for our trouble everyone ready overclocked cin bench 173 00:13:06,279 --> 00:13:12,120 Benchmark what damn it Nick if ID wanted someone to just start The Benchmark 174 00:13:10,199 --> 00:13:17,920 early I'd have asked Taran to help please work please 175 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:27,240 work please work no no what no just kidding player 176 00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:30,440 whatever it is so it's 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and 177 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:34,040 then you put OC score in a bench but my 178 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:37,720 keyboard says six don't worry about that 179 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:41,160 okay actually that does seem to be 180 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:42,920 faster good yeah 40 points better on 181 00:13:41,160

after much struggling we managed to achieve whopping overclocks of anywhere 188 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:30,320 from zero to 70 189 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:34,240 mahz on our graphics cards you building 190 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:35,759 fire strike extreme scores in the very 191 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:42,680 very close to what we were already getting range leading us to believe that this 192 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:47,160 whole thing was a terrible idea but I'm really glad that you guys got to come 193 00:14:44,519 --> 00:14:54,519 along for the adventure with us because um that is what we do on this 194 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:56,519 channel that is what we do this is a 195 00:14:54,519 --> 00:15:04,240 sponsor spot I have been looking forward to for quite some time we recoverd 196 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:06,880 dat.com what they do is pretty obvious 197 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:11,519 they recover data and why we're affiliated with them will be pretty 198 00:15:08,759 --> 00:15:17,440 obvious if you checked out the data recovery Vlog which if you haven't 199 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:20,000 already is a pretty uh pretty exciting 200 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:24,360 piece of content as far as they go on this channel anyway they gave me some 201 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,959 bullet points to talk about and I will do that but then I'll get into why 202 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:32,360 they're so special to me so first of all they're one of the only dat recovery 203 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:36,600 companies to invest in R&D so if the technology to recover your data doesn't 204 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:40,880 exist they create it they're fast they're techsavvy they have friendly 205 00:15:38,199 --> 00:15:45,519 customer service available 247 and that was indeed my experience their data 206 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:50,519 recovery guarantee policy means that if they don't recover any data there is no 207 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:55,000 recovery fee they have worldwide emergency data response options 208 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:58,639 including onsite remote and in lab that's 247 365 they've got 209 00:15:57,399 --> 00:16:02,399 state-of-the-art equipment utilizing today's most advanced technology with 210 00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:07,720 proprietary in-house developed tools they've got iso4 class 10 and iso5 class 211 00:16:05,639 --> 00:16:12,800 100 clean rooms to enable them to provide a Optimum solution for a 212 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:19,480 recovery environment and basically what it boils down to for me is they got my 213 00:16:16,319 --> 00:16:22,160 data back it was an extremely 214 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:27,480 complicated raid array not a recommended raid array so I had three raid fives 215 00:16:25,319 --> 00:16:32,279 that were Hardware raid fives on separate LSI controllers and then I had 216 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:37,920 those striped together in raid zero for an effective raid 50 so three raid five 217 00:16:34,959 --> 00:16:43,639 stripes in Windows I thought it should be pretty safe because I can lose up to 218 00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:48,680 one SSD per controller before I should run into any issues but what I didn't 219 00:16:45,399 --> 00:16:50,759 account for is losing a controller 220 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:55,880 outright so one of the controllers failed causing the array to go into an 221 00:16:53,319 --> 00:17:01,560 unrecoverable State and we recoverd dat.com had me plug in all those 24 222 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:03,880 drives to a host bus adapter and they 223 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:09,319 were able to remotely using their own Linux tool reconstruct the whole thing 224 00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:13,240 allow me to copy it off and basically 225 00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:14,959 save my turkey which
