the seven gamers one CPU system is back
from ces 2016 where kingston the proud sponsors of the original video which you
can check out here had it on display at their booth and of course i have wasted
no time creating the Linus media group lan center where
the seven gamers one CPU machine will be
powering seven high-powered gaming stations for the
pleasure of the employees here at Linus media group
so let's see if anyone wants to play some games shall we
whether you run a small business or a billion dollar enterprise rackspace has
your dedicated storage environments covered start a conversation with them
at the link in the video description hey it's johnny the network guy come on
in let's play some video games oh my god yes let's do it all right
john crysis 3. let's do it let's do it
who wants to play video games
i didn't ask you taryn but okay sure
uh no it's okay honey you don't have to
oh luke do you have time to play video games
oh wow um okay vaughn you're in
wow yep you're in let's go hey Colton got time to play some games yeah you're
fired because you should be busy but actually no we're gonna go play games
now okay
okay come on what are you guys waiting for let's go i'll show you to your stations
this is our new and improved board room no one will ever be bored in here again
okay so guys uh do not jump down the hole yet please so this is it this is
officially the first time the seven gamers one CPU rig has actually had
seven gamers sitting at it and i think the most notable thing about it probably
is the fact that you guys are each looking at an FPS number in the top
corner something in the neighborhood of 80 to 90 frames per second
so some quick napkin math would tell us that that is somewhere between 600 to
700 frames per second running at medium
settings high details in crisis 3 at
3440 by 1440 resolution it is actually
working but of course staring at a wall is not
the ultimate benchmark so i'd like you guys to all gather around i'm going to show you how
we benchmark crisis 3 at Linus tech tips and we are all going to try and do the
benchmark together i already fell down the hole yes that's
why i told you not to fall down the whole terran
yes i will help you in fact let's go do it on terran station since he has to go
back to the starting point anyway i'm jumping really really high is that
normal yes it's crisis you're wearing them oh for crying out loud Colton
no no it doesn't okay everyone come watch the benchmark run okay don't stare
into the hole just look at it then you're going to
press the apostrophe key boom that'll start the benchmark
and your FPS numbers will go away drop do not jump down the hole if you jump
down the hole you will die
nope nope because you will need bullets for when there are actual enemies
tearing that is how games work then you hold shift to leap across
and then you just kind of stand here and like shoot at stuff and it's done
everyone got that everyone ready to execute it perfectly on the first try
easy-peasy all right
okay ready and three two one benchmark
so left at the first fork there uh i i don't know if i'm at the first quarter
then you go right i don't see any forks i uh i i couldn't hit it and now i'm
dead that means you only have to get closer
open up file explorer we need file explorer you mean explorer
i mean file explorer go to the c drive
then perhaps how do you even use the computer then
benchmarks then open up the crisis 3 min
max average
competition john
you should see your GPU core clock uh what was it running at while we were
gaming 100 a gigahertz wait a thousand a
thousand one thousand gigahertz one thousand and it's still running at a
thousand thousand megahertz so zero throttling and what's your GPU
temperature while we were running the game 47 44 48 45 minus 45
48 very nice so our water cooling is holding up just fine with everyone in
the mid to high 40 degrees on the video card
very very cool so now let's fire the game back up
and you guys can just kind of uh mess around in game and we're going
to have a look at what our power consumption is like running seven
legitimate high-end games versus just some synthetic benchmarks like we did
last time oh what a dick where's me i'll kill you it's not a multiplayer game
we'll find a way can you guys be slightly more on earth
so power consumption is anywhere from around 1400 watts from the wall to up to
1600 watts from the wall
pretty bananas bananas
so this is interesting with every vm running we're pitting every CPU core
pretty much it looks like our CPU clock speed settles in around three gigahertz
which is actually still a fairly significant turbo up from the 2.6
gigahertz base clock more interesting facts
another really cool thing if you want to pop over to your graphics card tab here
is that when we originally ran this we were having some gpus show up as uh very
low link speeds even gen 1.1 speeds this
time around every single one is PCIe uh
gen 3 8x which is definitely more than
enough we actually reseeded the graphics cards and got some better stability that
way well how else is anybody up whoa i've got 200 frames per second everyone
else has steam accounts that's why i said guys log into your steam i don't
remember my password you're out there
who goes sniper when it's like three on three come on
wow can i jump in and point out that at about 200 to 250 FPS each we are
literally pushing over 1400 frames per second in team
fortress 2 right now we could all be on uh
oh somebody hit me with an axe okay actually it was a sword but i mean
you're dead so it doesn't really make much of a difference
at that point in time and it turned out to be taryn i got killed by taran oh my
god that's the ultimate install right here being a medic is easy
oh you're on fire someone's on fire come on
okay yeah whatever you were you're you're
dead you're done already you're done already i didn't want my
damaged sheep i don't even care i don't even have to be does anybody know how to
eat on fire right now you lay down crap no
oh wow weird no i tried to hold them i'm sorry
guys i wonder what's going on so there you have it we have officially
laid to rest the most common criticisms
of the seven gamers one CPU video first
of all that we didn't actually show
seven gamers gaming on it which has now been officially done and second that we
called it seven gamers one CPU which actually i'm going to continue to do in
spite of the fact that there are indeed two cpus in the system
so that was pretty fun guys a huge shout
out again to kingston unraid Intel ASUS
AMD ek water blocks case Labs oh sure
primo chill provided some tubing i hope i don't miss anyone
acer for providing all these monitors for making seven gamers one CPU possible
in the first place and thank you to tunnelbear for sponsoring
this episode of Linus tech tips if you guys are looking for a way to browse the
web as though you are browsing from a different country and anonymize yourself
online tunnelbear is the easy way to do it they've got applications for Windows
os 10 Android iOS they've even got a
