what's up everyone ibrahim with hurricane axe and welcome to our first x 399 gaming slash workstation pc build video i can actually believe this is happening this is this is like a dream come true in my opinion i'm pretty excited for this one because this is this build seriously does not have any story behind it or a budget or even a real goal i just wanted to put together a great pc around amy's new threat ripper processor and that's exactly what ended up happening you can see right behind that looks it looks it looks pretty good quick disclaimer this is a multi-purpose bill video meaning you can basically throw anything or everything at it this includes video editing software developing advanced 3d rendering or even if you want a system on steroids that can run java scripts like that this guy can do it in fact you know you can even stream and of course game videos at the same time i think you can even add a few more tasks if you really want it because we've got 16 cores to work with here ok so let's kick things off with the cpu I chose the AMD risin thread Ripper in 1950 x16 core 32 threaded processor clocked at a base of three point four gigahertz that can boost to 4.0 plus with an excel file range of 200 megahertz it should theoretically hit 4.2 on all cores given adequate cooling which we'll talk about shortly price to $1,000 it offers great multitasking performance and happens to have more than enough threads that you can use several programs at the same time provided you set core affinity properly now I could have easily gone with the I 970 900 X from Intel because this bill didn't have any budget whatsoever so that could have been a possibility but personally I feel like in the ultra high-end processor market thread Ripper offers the best performance for its value so I decided to go with the 1950 X in fact I think you can only pick up one of these processors as of right now that features a lot of cores and of course a lot of threads now if you're interested in Ross synthetic benchmarks we've compared to the 1950 x2 a ton of for high-end CPUs including the ones from Intel so if you're interested in that video I leave a link to that and there's good and down below now cooling has been a bit of a controversial topic within the tech community considering thread refers epic heat output as of right now TR for CPUs only work well with existing AC tech look at coolers but air cooling options are coming from Noctua and others but since a and E includes an adapter in the Box I decided to go with the X 62 from NZXT it rocks a two eighty millimeter radiator so that should be sufficient enough to cool the sixteen core monster and it looks great with that gorgeous infinity mirror design lit up for beautiful aesthetics housing the 1950 X is the rog zenith extreme x 399 motherboard this is one of the most expensive boards we've tested in the studio coming at around five hundred and fifty dollars but it packs a lot of features that enthusiast gamers and content creators can take advantage of for one you will have full access to sixty PCI lanes what that means is you can add multiple GPUs without sacrificing bandwidth content readers can easily pop in and red rocket rate controllers workstation grade s disease and much more without taking a hit on performance RGB lighting has also made its way into the zenith board and it looks gorgeous to look at plus when you add in the other components that support the asus or RGB system lighting customization becomes a seamless experience the IO is loaded with USB 3.0 ports along with the inclusion of 3.1 gen2 type-c and type-a ports the i/o shield is also pre mounted so that's a nice touch do note that this board will require 2 8 pin CPU connectors to properly power the 1950 X or any tr4 CPU this is to ensure the user gets the best possible stability when it comes to overclocking and we'll talk about that shortly for memory I decided to go with G skills a new 64 gigabyte Trident z RGB kit which is capable of hitting as far as 29 33 megahertz and it has been certified for use with thread Ripper 64 gigabytes might seem overkill for a lot of gamers out there as it does not yield the best possible or higher frame rates but rather content creators can take advantage of this capacity as programs like premiere After Effects resolve eat through memory so this should definitely help us ease the workflow we also cannot forget G skills gorgeous RGB illumination it's the best in the business plus it's compatible with aura which is awesome now for storage I really didn't want to compromise on performance so I choose not one but two samsung 960 Pro and VM em2 SSDs okay I know this is complete overkill but there's a reason behind this choice not only is a 960 Perl currently one of the fastest SSDs on the market but the m-dot - form factor means I won't have to worry about routing cables to my drives and cluttering up my otherwise clean built the 1960's high level of nanded Doran's for a non enterprise drive and great random write performance also means that it can be used for my professional applications as well that's really important for this build since it has to be as versatile as possible so my intent for the storage setup is to use a single 960 Perl 512 gigabyte SSD as my main OS drive and it will also be used for applications like Adobe Premiere and a few games if necessary the second drive is actually what excites me the most since I won't have to make any performance sacrifices when I move my main game library to it I'll also be using it as an Adobe scratch test so I can speed up my workflow I should also mention that AMD just announced that x3 I nine boards will be the first to combine nvme drives into raid arrays this will happen through a BIOS update and a new driver package at the end of September or perhaps a bit later imagine having two or more of these Samsung 960 Pro drives operating in raid the performance will be insane guys and I'm actually planning an upgrade really soon so expect or stay tuned for that video for graphics I went with the ROG Strix GT X 1080 TI GPU it features 11 gigabytes of gddr5 X memory and when it's set to OC mode the boost clock gets as far as 1700 megahertz but it can be pushed higher with many overclocking the Strix cooler is by far one of the best aftermarket cooling solutions we've come across on a GPU it features the signature triple wing blade 0db fans meaning during idle they completely stop spinning a susers also implemented their new max contact technology which provides two times more contact with the GPU than traditional heat spreaders so this should help with lower temperatures while gaming it also features RGB lighting that can be controlled through the GPU tweak software and it's all compatible so once again that should help with lighting synchronization housing the entire PC is a case that might come as a surprise to you guys I chose the corsair carbide air 540 ATX cubed case as you can see I went with the white Marion because my goal for this bill was to go with a black and white the NPC and from a physical perspective this chassis looks beautiful in fact this was like a match made in heaven I was looking for a unique enclosure that could house the massive Zenith ei takes motherboard and a 280 millimeter radiator while also being available in white the number of choices were pretty limited and after building the system in it I have mad respect for this new air 540 the case does not come with a tempered glass panel although I wish Corsair offered one however the acrylic panel should do a pretty good job showcasing the components inside the air 540 uses a dual chamber system to separate the hard drive brackets along with the PSU from the rest of the hardware so this should come in handy during cable management powering the whole PC is the be quiet dark power pro 11 1000 watt modular power supply it comes with an 80 plus platinum certification and given its excellent modularity and the extra wattage Headroom you can easily add a secondary GPU that requires more power plus it should help with overclocking the 1950 X now I could have gone with the stock power cables that came inside the box but I felt it would be incomplete on a high-end build like this so I reached out to cable mod and they hooked us up with some custom white and black cables to comprehend the color scheme of the PC we also did request a white a IO slimming set for the X 62 cooler and it got here in time installing it is actually pretty simple it just takes a few minutes to wrap the sleeving on top of the tubes and lock them up appropriately using the molded plastic clips and work it to go alright so with that out of the way let's put this thing together actually it's all assembled and ready to go right behind me but this is just for video purposes so enjoy the cool montage so here we are taking a look at the final build it definitely looks gorgeous guys I mean working with the air 540 case was a breeze everything from mounting the motherboard to the a IO to the graphics card was a fairly simple process I did configure the lighting to an all-white setting as it best suited the case and it completely satisfies my theme for this PC things to aura I'm not really sure if I should name this PC since I've never done that with any build but hey maybe you guys could help so know as much as you'd want in the comments down below all right so let's get serious this time and talk about performance because it's just as important if not more important than the physical appearance of the PC before I get into the results I wanted to quickly touch base on overclocking I did manage to get the 1950 x2 3.75 gigahertz it's not the best overclock as far as I'm concerned I mean I was hoping to get the 4 gigahertz OC but unfortunately I just wasn't able to get it stable at that point or at that time it's probably because my CPU wasn't it capable enough to get to that level but perhaps I might need to spend some more time tweaking around with the CP of the motherboard to just play around the voltage and everything to get it to 4 gigahertz but as of right now 3.75 gigahertz is what we'll be working with starting with Cinebench r15 running the CPU test the 1950 X at stock settings scored a little over 2900 points but when overclocked it dished out 170 points more than the first one so that's a significant difference I've even added my main risin PC featuring an overclock to 1700 X for comparison and you can see how it did compare to the 16 core CPU switching to OpenGL and the results shouldn't surprise you the 1950 exit stock didn't yield the best frame rates when compared to the overclock 1700 X but the 3.75 gigahertz overclock certainly close the gap between the two making it almost a tie thread report isn't really geared towards gaming it's likely best suited towards people who use programs that take advantage of multiple cores and we saw that with the CPU test moving to a complicated project like this ACM monitor review which is a 9 minute and 30 second video shows a clear indication that X 399 would certainly save you some money times this is where all cores get utilized to its best and while the 2 to 3 minute difference might not sound that much imagine the things you could do in the background while rendering complicated projects as you also mention that old clocking Rison played a huge role with the faster render times so I'd highly recommend when you overclock the CPU to overclock the RAM as well my sweet spot was set to around 20 666 megahertz so like I said overclocking will different from one system to the other but keep that in mind the 960 pro SSD blazed through crystal this mark averaging around 3.5 gigabytes per second read speeds and around 2 gigabytes per second for the write performance so it definitely met my expectations when it comes to gaming performance I didn't test all that many games yet so all the benchmarks and more will be included in part 2 video for this build here's a little glimpse on battlefield one at 14:40 pset2 ultra mdx 12 so system digital run 95 frames per second on average on one of the most demanding levels so that was just a teaser on the performance segment of this X 3 9 9 built there's still a lot more testing to do with thread Ripper and the way how it handles complex programs and huge data sets I'll also be testing mega tasking and going through the process of setting up core affinity properly so things like gaming and rendering can take place on the parallel I'm also curious would you like me to perform a certain test that you may be interested in let me know in the comments down below well this concludes our first X 399 build showcase video I hope you enjoyed this guys and like I mentioned in the beginning I was really excited to build this monster and in the short time of it being running it has been a true workhorse and I can't wait to share the rest of the benchmarks in a follow-up video I'm also looking forward to that BIOS update at AMD just announced or you can configure to me me SSDs in braids and given that I'm using these two Samsung 960 Pro SSDs performance is just gonna hit an other level so yeah expect a follow-up video because in the Emily I expect a lot more coverage in the upcoming weeks because I have a few more touches to do for the build but yeah like I said I'd like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors for providing the components and you can check them out in the links in the description down below I'm ebar with hurricane x thank you so much for watching make sure to subscribe for more similar content and we'll see you in the
