today we're going to be showing off another PC from the NC PC laboratory so
0:06
I'm in uh well you've got three guesses as to whose office we happen to be in
0:11
here right now and uh the first two don't count so uh basically he's got a
0:15
new system that we're working on for the end of the month and this is going to be
0:19
our fastest Vesta PC ever this is the Vesta 6050 and it's actually going to be
0:24
available in a couple different configurations so the one that we have
0:27
here since this is a balls to the walls
0:30
Performance Machine is actually featuring dual GTX 580s it has a 120 gig
0:37
SSD it's got an assus Republic of Gamers Rampage 3 formula motherboard Core
0:43
i5 I5 core i7 950 processor and it also
0:49
has 12 gigs of RAM now the performance Edition comes with dedr 3600 and the
0:54
base Edition actually has some key changes so it comes with DDR 31333 it
0:59
cuts one of the graphics cards the performance one comes not only with an
1:03
SSD but also with a large storage drive and the base one does not and then the
1:08
power supply is another key one so the performance Edition comes with a tx850 W
1:12
power supply and the base Edition does not now the whole point of this video is
1:17
not just to show off the new system that we have coming out oh oh yeah they're
1:21
both liquid cooled even though you can't see it so see look the liquid cooling is
1:25
coming when we actually put it in the case which is going to be a fractal
1:28
design Define ex cell so the base one uses an H50 and the performance one
1:33
being the utter maximum system that it is uses a Corsair h70 liquid cooler but
1:39
I also wanted to show you guys the testing and validation procedure that
1:42
goes into these systems and has actually helped us catch a lot of problems before
1:47
we release them to the general public for example we encountered a RAM kit
1:52
that was uniformly incompatible with every Phenom 2 X4 and X6 processor on
1:57
the market we had no way of knowing the specs said they should work but because
2:01
of our validation procedures we were able to find out that the system was
2:04
randomly locking up and that even though the parts weren't defective they didn't
2:08
work together even though they should work together so basically we use a host
2:13
of different programs and these are all Enthusiast grade programs not your you
2:16
know Grandpa's benchmarking program so we use Linux as well as Prime 95 mem
2:21
test and then for 3D we do a test with Vantage as well as furmark and with all
2:26
of these prototype systems so far we've done at least some game play with an
2:31
intensive game like Crisis uh Mafia 2 just to make sure that besides the
2:35
synthetic benchmarks we're not going to run into any problems with a demanding
2:38
modern game engine so this system this prototype won't be ready probably for
2:43
another 4 to 5 days just because the uh
2:47
the Crazy Russian needs to do a lot more of his crazy Russian stuff on it make
2:51
sure that it passes all these tests overnight and it's just crazy stable and
2:55
then we're going to be able to go ahead and release the system around this so
2:58

3:01
