1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:07,759
All right, so we've got the Vesta 3050 V2. This is the upgraded configuration

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,759
featuring Sandy Bridge. It is pre-overclocked. So, I want to show you

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:17,600
guys what it looks like when it's off of the Highspeed PC Techstation test

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:22,800
platform and into the Fractal Design Define R3 white, Arctic White rather,

5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:26,400
case. So, here there's one thing I missed in my unboxing of the Arctic

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:31,679
White Define R3, and that's that the LED here has been changed from blue to red.

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,680
So, there's uh something to show you guys here. I have still an empty fan

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,040
spot. You can populate that in your system if you want, but then I have one

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:44,239
fan that's spinning in there. We've got a uh DVD multi in the front. We've got a

10
00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:51,120
whole bunch of stuff running over here, which I'll get to in just a moment, but I just want to show you guys how all of

11
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:55,840
the hardware packs into this case for

12
00:00:51,120 --> 00:01:00,640
optimal hardware packing. So, here we've

13
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:02,960
got the MSI P67A GD53

14
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:08,640
at the core of our system. So, that supports Sandybridge processor, supports

15
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:12,960
up to 16 gigs of DDR3 dual channel

16
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:16,720
memory. So here we've got a kit of DDR33

17
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:18,880
from GSkill. All right, we've got a GTX

18
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:22,720
560 graphics card. So this is the performance package, which means that

19
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:27,759
Oh, this is the performance package. So I think yeah, the 1600 had already been

20
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:34,479
tested and I believe the 1600 skew was pulled out in order to validate the DDR3

21
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:36,320
1333 skew with the auto overclocking

22
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:41,200
feature of the MSI motherboard. So you can see here that OC Genie is enabled

23
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:46,960
and so that means that our CPU is actually not running at the default

24
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:51,119
clock speed of 3.4 GHz I believe it is

25
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:54,399
and it is instead running at 4.2 GHz and

26
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:57,280
cooled by the Coolit Eco ALC water

27
00:01:54,399 --> 00:02:02,880
cooling system. So right here the Eco actually has rotating uh fittings here.

28
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:07,200
So no matter what, your system is going to not have any undo stress on the water

29
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:11,440
cooling hosing. You do not ever have to maintain the Cool It Eco because it's

30
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,959
pre-sealed, preconfigured, pre- everything. And uh so you don't have to

31
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:20,959
worry about any of that. One of the things I want to show you guys is we do have the Eco set up for exhaust. So, you

32
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:27,200
could actually potentially get even better temperatures by configuring your

33
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:30,480
Vesta 3050 with dual exhaust fans in the

34
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,080
top and then an intake fan at the back

35
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:36,480
instead of an exhaust cuz that way you could be using fresh air instead of

36
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:41,920
heated air in order to cool your CPU. Now, one of the other things we've got

37
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:44,400
here is a CIC 620 W 80 plus bronze power

38
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:49,040
supply. Although, as you'll see, uh, with our power meter here, the absolute

39
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:55,519
max power draw we were able to achieve with this system was 363 watts from the

40
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:57,680
wall. So, really, that's about 320

41
00:02:55,519 --> 00:03:02,720
watts, probably less than that. Probably about 315 watts being pulled from the

42
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:08,959
power supply. And that was running small FFTs on the CPU for maximum power draw

43
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:14,720
on the CPU as well as 3D Mark1 on the graphics card simultaneously. So, the

44
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:18,000
620 W power supply is totally overkill. It's never going to ramp up in terms of

45
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:24,080
fan speed. Always going to run nice and cool and quiet. So, we've got an OCZ

46
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:26,319
Vertex 220 gig SSD for our boot drive

47
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:33,680
here. And then for our storage drive, we have a 1 TBTE drive from I believe it's

48
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:36,000
Western Digital Green Series Drive. Uh

49
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:40,400
you can add as many as, you know, eight SSDs or storage drives should you so

50
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,480
desire. And that would be a pretty extreme configuration. So let's turn our

51
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:50,000
attention to the screen here where we are running our Prime 95 test on all

52
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:57,280
eight virtual cores of the 2600K processor. You can see here our 2600K is

53
00:03:52,959 --> 00:04:01,680
clocked at 4.19 GHz using OC Genie and

54
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:03,120
that also enables uh any XMP profiles

55
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:07,200
that are present on the memory. So in this case we're running the 1333 memory

56
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:11,120
right now. So, there are no XMPP profiles, but if you did configure it

57
00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:15,680
with XMPP profiled memory, it would enable that and you'd get the the

58
00:04:12,799 --> 00:04:19,120
tighter XMPP timings. So, I think that's pretty much everything to say about

59
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:24,080
that. Oh, here's our temps, right? So, CPU temps, the maximum we've seen is

60
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:28,720
about 70°. So, that is pretty darn impressive, especially considering that

61
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:33,120
this is a silence optimized chassis and not necessarily an airflow optimized

62
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:42,720
chassis. And that is while running 3D benchmarks as well as CPU benchmarks.

63
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,000
Oh, what's this? Why did he move it? Oh,

64
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:48,880
okay. It looks like the highest we've seen is about 75. Still not bad. still

65
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:53,600
within reason, especially considering that in a real world load environment,

66
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:59,120
you are never going to stress your CPU as much as eight threads of Prime 95 at

67
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:02,160
the same time, plus a bunch of heat from the graphics card causing it to be

68
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,960
warmer inside and all that stuff. So, you can see our CPU usage is pinned at

69
00:05:03,919 --> 00:05:09,360
100%. We've done our full overnight test

70
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:13,039
with the DDR3600 modules, which I've borrowed on another

71
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,560
platform to test something else. And then it's going to run again overnight

72
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:21,440
on the 1333 modules and then we are ready to launch this system and it will

73
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:25,759
be available to the public because it will be fully validated. Don't forget

74
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:32,240
you can also buy the basic platform which has a 2500 K a GTX 460 a lower-end

75
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:36,720
power supply and it does not have an SSD for the boot drive and it has the 1333

76
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:41,680
RAM and I think those are all the changes and that one is available for a

77
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:44,880
lower price as well. Actually, Crazy Russian wanted me to

78
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:49,120
show you one more thing. So, I'm just going to Okay, here. Uh, come around to

79
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:53,360
the back so you can hear how how loud the system is under load.

80
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,720
So, still not very loud, especially with the silent chassis and the fact that we

81
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:03,240
have the mic positioned directly behind the case, which your ears will never be,

82
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,240
but I'm going to turn off Prime 95

83
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:12,400
and you're going to hear that ramp right down. So, when you are not taxing the

84
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:14,479
system to the max, this thing is so

85
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:18,160
quiet. Very, very impressive. Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips
