WEBVTT 00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:07.520 Welcome to the sequel to World's Most Compact Gaming PC, the original of which 00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:13.519 you can check out up there. But unlike most sequels, which are like bigger and 00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:15.280 better, this one is going to be smaller, 00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:23.920 but still better. We are going to be packing a 22 core CPU, 64 gigs of RAM, a 00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:27.279 700 W power supply, and a GTX 1080 all 00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:30.070 into a case about the size of a shoe 00:00:27.279 --> 00:00:37.200 box. 00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:43.760 Intel's Skull Canyon Nook features a sixth generation Core i7 processor and 00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:48.320 Thunderbolt 3. You can learn more at the link in the video 00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:52.199 description. The motherboard was a very carefully considered component for this 00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:58.320 build. The EPC 612D4i that was generously provided by 00:00:55.039 --> 00:01:01.280 ASRock Rack, the server and workstation 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:05.840 ARM of ASRock is one of the only two MiniITX motherboards capable of housing 00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:12.320 this CPU. The other one is actually made by ASRock Consumer. And while I gave up 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:15.119 an M.2 two slot for a PCIe SSD along 00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:21.600 with Wi-Fi, onboard audio and really much IO at all. I kept the essentials 00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:24.080 like USB 3 and a PCIe 16X slot for the 00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:32.040 graphics card. And what I gained is something that I had never seen before. 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:34.320 Quad channel RAM on an ITX 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:41.439 board. But before we get into that, let's talk CPU. This is the bee's knees, 00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:43.560 the cat's pajamas, the Kobayashi's Maru, 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:49.720 Intel's Xeon E52699 V4, a 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:56.880 $4,000 22 core, 44thread monster that boasts 55 megs of 00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:03.600 cache, more than my first computer had RAM. It runs anywhere from 2.2 to 3.6 00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:07.040 GHz using Turbo Boost 2.0 0 technology 00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:09.440 and supports the quad channel DDR4 00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:15.280 memory that I mentioned previously. Speaking of which, we're using some 00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:19.840 pretty badass RAM here. A data makes the 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:22.319 only qualified 16 gig ECC so RAM for 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:29.360 this motherboard. So, as a reminder, this is ECC server memory in a sodium or 00:02:26.239 --> 00:02:31.440 usually notebook form factor. And they 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:38.239 were kind enough to provide us with four sticks of it. So, we could have 64 gigs 00:02:34.720 --> 00:02:40.640 of quad channel DDR4 RAM running at 2133 00:02:38.239 --> 00:02:45.680 MHz in our build. Something that would have been impossible with full size 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:50.560 DIMs. Though, even with half-length memory sticks, there is not a lot of 00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:56.239 room left for the CPU socket and the cooler that goes on it. We chose the 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:58.400 Dinatron T318 full copper vapor chamber 00:02:56.239 --> 00:03:02.560 cooler on the advice of Dan cases because the EPC 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:07.200 612D4i, like its consumer oriented brother, has a narrow ILM mounting hole 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:13.560 layout, meaning that there are not a lot of options. Since the T318 doesn't 00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:16.159 include a fan, I pilfered a Noctua NF 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:20.159 A9X14 from another cooler that we had on hand, though you can buy that fan 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:25.120 separately and set to work building a mounting system for 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:27.680 it. Oh my god. with borrowed wire hold 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:31.680 downs and an angle grinder. You can mount the fan with zip ties, but this is 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:36.720 a little bit more elegant and it ended up working perfectly. for thermal 00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:40.959 compound. Regular viewers will probably notice I'm using quite a bit more than 00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:48.000 usual here. The reason for that is that the 2699 V4 heat spreader is really big. 00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:54.319 And additionally, the die under it, the actual processing part of the processor 00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:56.400 that outputs heat is much larger than a 00:03:54.319 --> 00:04:01.599 typical CPU, meaning that the heat transfer area is much larger. Now, Luke 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:06.400 demonstrated, and you can check that video out in the corner there, that in a 00:04:03.760 --> 00:04:11.439 large case anyway, cable management won't make much difference to cooling. 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:17.440 Here, though, everything is packed so tight, I want it absolutely perfect. So, 00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:23.600 the fact that my case does not include any fans whatsoever won't hurt my 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:28.160 components over the longer term. Why doesn't my case have any cooling fans? 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:34.600 That's a great question. because there's no room. This is the Dan Cas's A4 SFX. 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:40.479 At a mere 7.25 L, it is the smallest case on the 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:45.759 market that can accept a full-size enthusiast gaming graphics card like the 00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:50.560 GTX 1080 that I'm planning to use. thanks to its unique layout that uses a 00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:56.160 flexible PCI Express riser to put the graphics card with a protective plastic 00:04:53.280 --> 00:05:01.840 sheet right behind the motherboard, giving both of them full access to fresh 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:09.120 air through the perforated side panels. For my boot drive, I'll be using a 00:05:03.520 --> 00:05:11.600 Samsung PM 863 3.84 TB SSD. We are 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:17.600 giving up some speed compared to a 950 Pro or other NVMe SSD, but we're also 00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:23.600 almost quadrupling the capacity of the largest readily available SSDs at around 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:27.600 the time of our first compact build. Now, there were some cable management 00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:31.840 challenges, but I was able to hide the USB3 connection and power switch 00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:37.120 connection behind the motherboard. And thanks to one of Silverstone's awesome 00:05:33.919 --> 00:05:40.400 CP11 lowprofile SATA cables, I was able 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:42.600 to hide that, too. Our power supply is 00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:49.759 yet another piece of amaze balls technology. Last time around, we used a 00:05:44.960 --> 00:05:52.639 full ATX 860 W unit. Now in the tiny 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:59.440 SFXL form factor, Silverstone was able to squeeze 700 watts with 80 plus 00:05:56.320 --> 00:06:02.160 platinum efficiency and a slim 120 mm 00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:06.160 fan that only spins when system load reaches a certain threshold. The 00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:10.880 included cables are a bit bulky and long, but using Cable Mods configurator, 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:14.800 I picked up colors I liked and had each cable done to the exact length that I 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:19.360 needed to reduce bulk and give the system a really clean appearance. even 00:06:17.039 --> 00:06:24.560 with the panels off. A lastminute inclusion was a cable mod widebeam RGB 00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:26.400 LED strip. I actually wasn't sure if I'd 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:30.639 managed to get that in there since the lighting controller box is a little 00:06:28.479 --> 00:06:34.400 bulky and even the leads that come off of it take up a lot of space in the 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:38.880 context of a build like this. But I managed to squeeze it in, proving once 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:43.759 and for all that RGB is the true herpes of modern enthusiast PC building. You 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:48.560 just can't get rid of it. Leading us finally then to the GTX 1080 that will 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:52.720 be powering our gaming experience. As the king of the hill GPU at the moment, 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:56.720 it really needs no introduction. Though, I will say that if you're planning a 00:06:54.319 --> 00:07:01.880 similar build, I would strongly suggest that you opt for a rear blower design 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:07.599 like a Founders Edition card due to the A4SFX's complete lack of case fans. The 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:12.000 audio configuration of this machine will rely on the DisplayPort or HDMI output 00:07:10.080 --> 00:07:16.479 of our graphics card. So, make sure that your monitor is equipped for that. Then, 00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:21.479 I plan to use a monitor with a built-in hub or the front USB port with a headset 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:28.639 like the HyperX Cloud 2. So, that's 00:07:24.440 --> 00:07:31.840 it. Everything is crammed inside with 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:34.160 barely a cubic inch to spare. So, let's 00:07:31.840 --> 00:07:40.560 go ahead and throw it on the bench and see how this puppy performs. And there 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:43.759 you have it. She's rock solid stable. 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:45.840 I'm impressed at how cool the 2699 V4 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:51.039 runs on that tiny little heat sink. And I am really impressed at how much PC 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:55.680 hardware has progressed in the last year and how much of it Dan Case has allowed 00:07:53.280 --> 00:08:02.400 us to cram into this tiny little box compared to last time. In summary, we've 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:05.199 got four more CPU cores, double the RAM 00:08:02.400 --> 00:08:10.599 at double the bandwidth, eight times the storage capacity, a much faster graphics 00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:16.720 card, and to put it in the appropriate context, the Razer Core external GPU 00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:21.560 box, which contains only a graphics card, a power supply, and some IO, is 00:08:20.080 --> 00:08:27.759 about the same size.
