1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,600
so this is the most excited I've been about putting something on a test bench

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:10,840
in quite some time we've got our whole room water cooling setup video series

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:13,719
and well just doing it building five systems that are all running on the same

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:18,240
water cooling Loop and then spitting the heat out of the house sort of project

5
00:00:16,279 --> 00:00:23,279
coming up but of course there's some preparation that needs to be done so I

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:26,800
always preach to people that especially if you're going to be liquid cooling a

7
00:00:24,599 --> 00:00:30,519
rig you should really be building it air cooled outside of a case first to make

8
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:35,480
sure that everything's working before you go and put a bunch of work into it

9
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:37,840
so this is the first one that I'll be testing

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:48,680
out with the purchase of a qualifying Intel processor SSD or knck you could

11
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:52,680
instantly win an Intel gaming Jersey and be entered in the draw for the ultimate

12
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:56,520
system click now to learn more so here it is here's the setup that my son is

13
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,640
helping me with are you going to build that one

14
00:01:00,199 --> 00:01:06,200
yeah okay good job you work on that all right well I show everyone the hardware

15
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:10,880
that we are going to be putting into these rigs now this one is the one that

16
00:01:08,759 --> 00:01:16,119
I'm uh really excited about cuz it's not quite the same as the others they're all

17
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:18,159
getting Kingston 240 gig ssds for the

18
00:01:16,119 --> 00:01:23,479
boot drives because most of our storage is going to be uh on the nas they're all

19
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:27,560
getting Cooler Master V series 750 W power supplies so there are modular

20
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:31,000
power supplies 30 plus gold all that good stuff we're not overdoing it on the

21
00:01:29,479 --> 00:01:36,240
wattage because there isn't really a benefit to that they are all getting

22
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,880
NVIDIA GTX Titan black edition cards

23
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:43,360
zoom out a little bit taking all of its glory and they're all running on ASUS

24
00:01:41,159 --> 00:01:47,640
x79 Deluxe motherboards ASUS really does a great job of those high-end boards and

25
00:01:45,399 --> 00:01:53,399
we uh we we really like this particular one quite a lot but while most of them

26
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:57,320
will be running cor i7s and then 32 gigs

27
00:01:53,399 --> 00:01:59,479
of DDR3 memory this one will be running

28
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:05,600
ah yes what's that okay it might only say 2.7 GHz on the spreader there but uh

29
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:11,400
that's a pretty good 2.7 GHz cuz it's to all 12 of its cores and 24 threads this

30
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:17,200
is going to be a Zeon based workstation as opposed to a core i7 based one and

31
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:20,519
along with that Zeon we've got 64 gigs

32
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:22,480
of Kingston DDR3 because instead of 32

33
00:02:20,519 --> 00:02:28,680
gigs like the other workstations this one is getting double the memory because

34
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:31,599
edzel is a memory hog and needs pretty

35
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:37,160
much as much RAM as I can throw at him that's also why he's getting the 12 core

36
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:39,599
Zeon because for certain workloads like

37
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:46,440
say for example 3D rendering you're going to get more benefit from more

38
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:49,000
cores than you will from faster cores so

39
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:53,840
unfortunately uh we can't make use of ECC memory which would allow us to get

40
00:02:51,440 --> 00:03:00,720
higher capacities like 128 gigs on one board um using 16 gig dims but 8 8 gig

41
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:04,360
dims for a total of 6 4 gigs hopefully will be enough for him for the time

42
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:08,080
being now one thing I've asked Kingston for is some higher speed memory for that

43
00:03:06,519 --> 00:03:11,680
rig cuz again with the other ones it doesn't matter that much so we'll see if

44
00:03:09,799 --> 00:03:16,920
they come through and send us some 1866 stuff but for now we're going to do the

45
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,480
pre-build and validation and get going

46
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:23,720
on this so the build process for this rig isn't really anything exceptional I

47
00:03:21,799 --> 00:03:27,640
mean it's motherboard CPU RAM it's all that stuff it's just the hardware that

48
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,599
we're using that's pretty darn cool so as always it starts with the board I did

49
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:36,200
notice the c CPU was a little bit different is actually um actually wider

50
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,480
than most LGA 2011 CPUs then putting in

51
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,599
all that RAM was one of those chores that you have to kind of enjoy a little

52
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:47,120
bit there's something satisfying about putting 64 gigs of RAM into a system

53
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:51,040
stick by stick by stick by stick um after that it's time to put some thermal

54
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:54,560
compound on the CPU then we're going to get our power supply in place get that

55
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:59,920
plugged into the motherboard something to note guys I put the power supply in fan side down that would suffocate it

56
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:04,760
that's bad make sure fan side is up ignore the b-roll I did fix that before

57
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:07,239
I actually turned the system on um after that we're going to go ahead and get the

58
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:11,040
water cooling installed so you put in the four posts uh put the block over top

59
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,959
of the thermal compound we already applied we're using a dual radiator liquid cooling system even though when

60
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:21,600
this is done it'll actually be hooked up to something much cooler and much more

61
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:24,759
extreme uh we plug in our SSD and then

62
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:27,680
the uh cherry on top is the GTX Titan

63
00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:31,440
Black Edition so that's it guys it's done uh this is this is part of the

64
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:35,240
process process we building something outside of the box to make sure that

65
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:38,440
everything is running okay and this is it Moment of Truth time so let's go

66
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:43,479
ahead and flip the switch on the power supply

67
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:45,600
and there we go hopefully everything

68
00:04:43,479 --> 00:04:51,600
works all the actions happening here until the screen illuminates so uh as

69
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:57,960
long as that okay keep doing things yeah there we go okay so let's see if all

70
00:04:54,639 --> 00:05:02,960
went well we should see something about

71
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:04,400
12 cores and uh 64 gigs of RAM on the

72
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:12,919
screen at some point here there we go there we go something something 2700 MHz

73
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:15,960
okay 65 I guess the round gigs of RAM

74
00:05:12,919 --> 00:05:18,840
CPU fan error all right everything is

75
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:23,039
detected let's head into the BIOS and uh do some rudimentary tuning so the first

76
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:27,919
thing that you're always going to want to do is head over to advanced mode cuz

77
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:33,840
Advanced Mode's for cool kids and then change it so that it boots in into

78
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:36,560
advanced mode every time and now you

79
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:41,160
know normally a normal person's reaction to a rig like this might be wow I've

80
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:44,880
never touched a CPU that's worth $2500 I better be extremely careful with it but

81
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:50,039
my reaction's a little bit different so we're going to go with can we overclock

82
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:54,639
it a little bit now xeons are not overclockable the same way that core i7s

83
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:59,280
are on this platform where you just turn up the multiplier and it's Off to the

84
00:05:57,039 --> 00:06:02,280
Races in fact I'll show you guys if we try to change the multiplier to anything

85
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:08,400
higher than 27 it just automatically changes to 27

86
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:13,039
so we're not going to be able to use the multiplier to overclock now on Modern

87
00:06:10,599 --> 00:06:17,280
Intel platforms it's multiplier times base clock equals the overall frequency

88
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:23,599
and you can overclock base clock but not much on early x79 boards you were lucky

89
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:26,479
to get maybe 105 MHz so we're going to

90
00:06:23,599 --> 00:06:32,440
see if we can get even 105 MHz because that'll be a 5% overclock on 12 cores so

91
00:06:30,599 --> 00:06:38,280
I'm going to show you guys uh what we're going to try so first of all we change

92
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:45,080
to manual oopsy daisies change to manual we're going to key in 105 here then for

93
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:47,440
the ratio we want Auto for the dam

94
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:53,319
frequency normally we would leave it at 1600 MHz cuz this is 1600 MHz RAM but in

95
00:06:50,599 --> 00:06:57,440
this case I don't really I'm not really a huge fan of overclocking memory if you

96
00:06:55,919 --> 00:07:03,039
don't have to I mean we can play around with it later but first we want to make sure our CPU stable so we're going to

97
00:07:00,919 --> 00:07:07,080
pick something that is going to give us a frequency that is lower than 1600 MHz

98
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:11,520
so that we know that memory is not holding us back here uh extreme over

99
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:15,360
voltage we're not going to overvolt the CPU as much as I believe in you know

100
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:20,800
trying to squeeze a little bit more performance out of a chip like this it's a 12 core chip we're not going to go and

101
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:24,160
just throw more volts at it the last thing we want is to damage the thing so

102
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:28,000
we're going to be going for whatever we can get without overvolting it and

103
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:34,479
potentially reducing the lifespan this is a a work machine not like a gaming

104
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:37,720
rig so we can't afford any uh any

105
00:07:34,479 --> 00:07:40,080
instability so these are not XMP memory

106
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:43,440
module so we're going to key in our voltage manually and uh you know what

107
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:48,280
I'm not going to bore you guys with the tediousness of keying in all that other

108
00:07:45,919 --> 00:07:55,240
stuff manually so let's just go ahead and find the last thing I need where are

109
00:07:51,639 --> 00:07:58,280
you CPU configuration the last thing I

110
00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:01,360
want is to make sure that turbo boost is

111
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:03,879
on it might be somewhere in

112
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:08,440
here CPU performance settings here we go yeah so turbo mode needs to be enabled

113
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:12,840
so now what we've effectively done by leaving the core ratio at Auto and

114
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:19,840
increasing our base clock is we've made it so that our CPU will continue to

115
00:08:15,319 --> 00:08:21,840
Turbo all the way up to 3.5 GHz plus 5%

116
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:26,080
in a single threaded application and while it would normally turbo to 3 GHz

117
00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:31,919
with all 12 cores we're going to get 3150 MHz so a 5% Improvement let's see

118
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,919
how it

119
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:40,719
goes all right so here we are at the desktop it's time to validate that the

120
00:08:38,479 --> 00:08:47,160
settings that we put in actually took because again this is not normal

121
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:49,720
Hardware so you know who knows

122
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:55,880
um so well look at that okay we're turboing to 3.5 something GHz just yeah

123
00:08:53,519 --> 00:09:02,360
there you go normally which uh means there it is we are running at 105 MHz

124
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:04,360
base clock so yes we have overclocked

125
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:10,480
the CPU so the tools we're going to use to stress test it are ID to 64 and we're

126
00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:12,000
going to just start a stress test and

127
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:16,839
assuming it doesn't crash pretty much immediately we're going to start creeping up that base clock and see if

128
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:21,040
we can get a little bit higher cuz I think 105 is going to be pretty easy um

129
00:09:19,399 --> 00:09:25,279
we're not really asking it for much so we're going to we're going to push it and see see how much further we can get

130
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:30,839
it one thing I do want to know before we proceed though is what are temperatures

131
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:34,200
like huh very comfortable sitting at around 55° that's without the water

132
00:09:32,839 --> 00:09:39,959
heating up but that won't matter when we're running on a whole room liquid cooling setup now will it so I'm going

133
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:45,079
to show you guys once we see that it sort of passes for a couple seconds here

134
00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:49,320
how we can avoid rebooting into Windows every time in or or rebooting into the

135
00:09:46,959 --> 00:09:54,040
ufi BIOS every time in order to test new things so we're going to go into the TPU

136
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:57,600
tab of AI Suite which is not my favorite piece of software but we're just kind of

137
00:09:55,560 --> 00:10:02,399
using it to save some time here boop boop yeah I know AI sweet

138
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:08,839
you're trying real hard okay and then we can actually change base cloth on the

139
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:11,240
Fly setting increment by increment then

140
00:10:08,839 --> 00:10:17,680
we just apply it do you want to load it yes so we can change all of this stuff

141
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:19,560
on the Fly run a new stability test and

142
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:23,000
keep going until uh it doesn't go anymore so it ended up pushing a lot

143
00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:26,959
further than I expected and I had to bring it into the office to continue

144
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:33,040
testing I ran out of time cuz I kept expecting at every stage one more be

145
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,839
clock no it passes so uh this is what we

146
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:38,360
ended up with any further than this and we can't we can't push it any further

147
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:45,440
it'll just lock up as soon as we try to run a stress test but here it is

148
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:51,279
113 mahz base clock that gives us

149
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:54,120
339 GHz with 12 cores running utterly

150
00:10:51,279 --> 00:11:00,519
unfreaking believable so this is going to be one heck of a high performance

151
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:03,440
workstation and it is 100% Rock Solid at

152
00:11:00,519 --> 00:11:08,360
this setting no problems whatsoever very very exciting um so stay tuned guys

153
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:13,519
because this is just one of the machines for our five system multi-stem room wide

154
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:18,120
liquid cooling setup that we're going to be doing soon it is the most exciting

155
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:23,720
one with 64 gigs of RAM as well as that 12 core CPU but the other ones will be

156
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:26,320
