A $40,000 Quad CPU Computer - HOLY $H!T Ep. 10

2016-09-17
for the eleventh installment of hooli we have come all the way down to Seattle Washington to check out the most powerful CPU workstation on the planet worked like sort of pretty close anyway fusion systems was too cheap to ship it to me so they made me come all the way down here let's go have a look inside and see if it lives up to all the hype the Aria headphones from Phoenix come complete with a cardioid clipped mic and acoustic chambers constructed entirely of Japanese pine wood click the link in the video description to learn more and here it is the Puget Peak quad this monster of a system has oh crap no this is the old revision wall so the current revision that they actually have to spend three days modifying the case just to get the freaking enormous motherboard to fit inside let's go have a look at the prototype one that they are working on ah here it is this is the new and improved Puget systems peak quad the case is actually a collaboration with case labs who you've probably heard about some point or another so construction quality feels pretty good but it's still missing a few features Puget figures they've got about 17 things to add still including an SSD mount that isn't on top of the optical drive they're thinking maybe on the back of the motherboard as well as some fans on the side panel that actually don't need to be unplugged when you open up the side panel that swings off and swings out and up a little something like that but of course you're not here to see the case you guys want to see the guts inside so this my friends is a Super Micro x10 qvl 4 CT motherboard which uses a form factor that I can pretty much guarantee unless you browse Super micros website for fun yeah nobody does that unless you do that you probably pretty much never seen and that's why they needed to either design a custom case or like do custom fabrication on an existing case because look at this freaking thing the IO is like you know when it whatever that is it's like 4 inches down from the top of the board the PCI Express slots well they're just like way down at the bottom you've got to use a riser and then like an expansion hard PCB if you even want to put two cards in it and the whole thing is covered with CPUs and rim yes my friends quad CPUs water-cooled buy Corsair h-60 s and using their laser cutter they actually create these acrylic and then sort of vanity plated hold downs for them so they can mount them on a narrow ILM LGA 2011 v3 socket in terms of cooling this kind of a beast you can see each CPU has its own heat sink for the vrm that goes along with it and this is where things get crazy town each of these CPUs actually has a hundred and twenty eight gigs of ram on it with the system being capable of holding up to four times that much so altogether the system has 512 gigs of DDR 4 memory and can hold up to two freaking terabytes but if that's not impressive enough for you check out the video card so we actually went and grabbed these from something else they're not for this particular system over like come on its holy just for whatever we got in here so we've got a couple of invidious Quadro m six thousand twenty-four gig video cards making for a total of 48 gigs a video memory in this system so it's a total of like almost 600 gigs of ram although it really doesn't work that way that's not how like memory works you don't get to just add it all up how do you power system like this that's a great question I'm glad you asked they're actually using an EVGA supernova 1600 p2 this is the same power supply that we used back when we did seven gamers one CPU and for good reason the motherboard alone requires a 24 pin power connector and for counting for EPS 8 pin connectors because it has wait for it 4 CPUs right okay so that's fine Linus but what is all of that translate to in terms of real-world performance well in task manager you can see that our for 7 88 67 v3 processors make for a total of 64 cores and do we have hyper-threading disabled it was off we're going to fix that and of course super micro that is not f10 to save changes and reset I so I will go here and we'll be back all right let's try that again opening up task manager boom there's our 512 gigs of ram so the fact that we're using seven gigs of ram right now and that is 1% of our system memory if that doesn't tickle you guys then you clearly don't have the same tickler spots that i do and now we've got all 64 of our real course all 128 sockets and you guys have probably noticed for running Windows Server 2012 yes because we have for physical sockets on the motherboard we actually have no choice but to run a Windows server operating system because the consumer ones will not support this check this out we actually have to scroll we have to scroll and the current version of this system with the 88 67 v4 would actually have slightly more processors I think like another 8 but of course that's not what you guys really want to see you want to know but does it run Cinebench Wow look at it go hah if you've ever run that on your macbook then hild you'll know that it I mean look at this 6000 139 points it's crazy it's unnatural and it's actually not even as crazy as it gets this system can be configured with up to 96 total course a hundred and ninety-two threads mind you you'd be paying a pretty penny for that because even in the configuration that we're looking at here today I configured a reasonable approximation of this on puget site you would be looking at see this has 35,000 $496 but actually that's with only one Quadro and 6,000 and here if you add the second one you'd be looking at $40,000 to take home a system like this peripherals not included shipping not included is another surcharge is not included so unless you're a freakin baller or you're using it for legitimate purposes like you know gas and mining exploration like crazy number crunching stuff like that you might as well not even drool after this system because as much as watching Cinebench numbers that are from the planet Mars is pretty cool there are disadvantages to running a system like this as a general desktop for example I can't even wait here talking buying time long enough for you guys to watch this thing boot it takes like multiple minutes to post because of all the RAM and the fact that it's not a server motherboard in it but that doesn't change the fact that it's cool and that doesn't make it any less deserving on the spot on Holi which I hope you guys enjoyed I will see you again next time speaking of a lot of money brain tree brain trees free trial gives you fifty thousand dollars in transactions fee free yes my friends you could actually buy the computer that we set up from a company using Braintree and if they had just set it up they would not have to pay any fees on that transaction but what is Braintree exactly great question it's code for easy online payments so if you're building a mobile app for example and you're searching for a simple payment solution check out Braintree with the V dot zero SDK which is one small snippet of code you can be all set up in less than 10 minutes and if that's too hard for you they have support staff ready to walk you through the process over the phone if you need them their code supports Android iOS and JavaScript clients and they have SDKs in seven programming languages they make it easy to offer multiple mobile payment types including PayPal Apple pay Bitcoin venmo Android pay credit cards and more and more all with this one simple integration all you're going to do is head over to Braintree payments go / - we've got that linked in the video description and as I mentioned before you get your first fifty thousand dollars in transactions fee free so thanks for watching guys and if you dislike this video well you know what to do but if you liked it then get subscribed and maybe give a shout out to our friends over at Puget systems in the comments below they're actually nice pea people even though you know this guy's involved and anyway if you really like the video hit that like button get subscribed maybe even consider checking out where to buy the stuff we featured today normally we say at Amazon but hey not so much today because musics the only one that builds that particular system so we'll have that link in the video description also listed in the video description is our merch store where you can buy cool shirts like this one as well as our community forum which you should totally join now if you're done doing all that stuff you're probably wondering what to watch next so check out our last episode of Holi where we did an individual spotlight on that $5000 graphics card including running like DaVinci Resolve on it and stuff like that
