2010-11-23
today we're going to be showing off another pc from the NCIX PC laboratory so I'm in well you've got three guesses as to whose office we happen to be in here right now and the first two don't count so basically he's got a new system that we're working on for the end of the month and this is going to be our fastest Vesta PC ever this is the Vesta 6050 and it's actually going to be available in a couple different configurations so the one that we have here since this is all balls to the walls performance machine is actually featuring dual gtx580 s it has a 120 gig SSD it's gotten a suit republic of gamers rampage 3 formula motherboard core i5i five core i7 950 processor and it also has 12 gigs of RAM now the performance edition comes with ddr3 1600 and the base edition actually has some key changes so it comes with ddr3 1333 it cuts up one of the graphics cards the performance one comes not only with an SSD but also with a large storage Drive and the base one does not and then the power supply is another key one so the performance edition comes with a TX 850 watt power supply and the base edition does not now the whole point of this video is not just to show off the new system that we have coming out oh oh yeah they're both liquid cooled even though you can't see it some feet look liquid cooling is coming when we actually put it in the case which is going to be a fractal design define XL so the base one uses in age 50 and the performance one being the utter maximum system that it is uses a corsair h70 liquid cooler but I also wanted to show you guys the testing and validation procedure that goes into these systems and has actually helped us catch a lot of problems before we release into the general public for example we encountered a rand kit that was uniformly incompatible with every fenham 2 x4 + x6 processor on the market we had no way of knowing the specs said they should work but because of our validation procedures we were able to find out that the system was randomly locking up and that even though the parts weren't defective they didn't work together even though they should work together so basically we use a host of different programs and these are all enthusiast grade programs not your you know grandpa's benchmarking program so we use Linux as well as prime95 memtest and then for 3d we do a test with vantage as well as furmark and with all of these prototype systems so far we've done at least some gameplay with an intensive game like Crysis mafia two just to make sure that besides the synthetic benchmarks we're not going to run into any problems with a demanding modern game engine so this system this prototype won't be ready probably for another four to five days just because the the crazy Russian needs to do a lot more of his crazy brush and stuff on it make sure that it passes all these tests overnight and it's just crazy stable and then we're going to be able to go ahead and release the system around this so thank you for checking out this little video on the validation process that goes on behind the scenes don't forget to check out NCIX pc on facebook that is facebook.com slash NCIX pc and also don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips
