is this your static safe cpu storage that is area so statically safe what is an insulator unless it's wet in which case it's not okay it's only like $1,000 CPU like realistically you're gonna drop it anyway so like so inside this box is one of the most bizarre products to ever land in our inbox I think both Jake and I had exactly the same reaction gigabyte sends out this press release they're like you guys we have water-cooled overclockable servers and we were both like we need that well no I think the first thing I said was but why I definitely just wanted it and if you do have that can we use it to replace our networked video transcode server so we're gonna answer all of those questions and more after this message from our sponsor pulse wave who you can use to monitor your servers with pulse weight you can remotely monitor manage and control your Windows Mac and Linux machines all from one app create your free account today at the link in the video description okay uh who's taking it I was just gonna hear it's all you classic you take it I got it yeah yeah go for it I believe in you okay that's not too bad so the first thing we notice about this after that it includes some handy tool estrellas that's nice is that this is a 1u server so this is as slim as you would expect something like a like a a router or a network switch to be except that this thing can handle do I understand this correctly up to a 70 900 X oh no claims 77 gigahertz 79 80 XC or a 79 80 XC at they claim 4.6 gigahertz that is a lot of performance to squeeze into a form factor like this one so going over the outside of the server the first thing we notice is a really thin honeycomb mesh over here that's for pretty obvious reasons this thing's gonna need some serious air flow we've got those aren't supposed to be swimming are these I did that you did that so this is just to look cool are they all okay there are some of the men measured we're all say - yeah I'll say - all right so weird it's like they let someone like me onto their product team it says two times u dot - 2 times SATA hot swappable SSD based there you go maybe they were color coded back playing up here it's not all plugged in and there isn't enough cables to plug them in so all right well we'll have a lot of a look at it here first we can check out the back so we've got one management port two gigabit network ports that was a little disappointing 10 gig would have been nice serial as well as VGA and then these these are interesting check this out so if I were a betting man and someone said this is a 1500 watt power supply how many watts do you think this one is I would probably say something along the lines of well if this is a per volume calculation I don't know 250 or 300 no no no this is an 1100 watt 80 plus Platinum power supply that is cooled by this van and there's two they are redundant so in the event that one of them fails the system will continue to run and basically I expect these to be incredibly loud wow what the hell there's 20 fans there's 20 I think these are like the 23 thousand rpm ones and these might be the trickiest radiators I've ever seen these are one new radiators and they're different sizes - yeah because this is highly custom so let's have a look then at how this closed-loop cooler goes so check this out we can easily see what the flow path is gonna be so cool water marked blue comes in to our CPU where the pump is also located and then the hot water comes out goes to this radiator comes out of this one and then back around here and then cold goes back into the CPU so we're actually using both of these rads to cool just the CPU in terms of the rest of the specs we've got eight memory slots so that's quad channel we've got a single PCI Express slot which there is no obvious way to actually plug anything in so what we actually end up with is oh that's an interesting one an other more different PCI Express slot that is broken out to - 16 X slots up here installed sideways but then also into this one x slot so wait wait where's the electrical signaling actually coming from is it this one I think it's that one yeah it must be this might be like power or just for stability like if you're gonna build a custom board just for this server right put the USB header somewhere you can yeah what about all this space here if you try to put a GPU here it might even block yeah see that's so weird because so not only are we limited to half-height PCI Express cards which is really gonna affect our ability to upgrade networking or add a GPU to this thing this is going to severely limit the length of the cards we can install as well when it really seems to me as an you know a relative lay person like this could have just been put over here look you imagine being the engineer that gets given this assignment I'm sorry you want to build what yeah so if you could make a PCB that powers over 2020 3000 rpm fans that would be great thanks excuse me why the power draw so gnarly that it has an 8-pin exactly PS this is an EPS connector that that provides CPU power in the desktop systems for mere mortals those are good for 300 watts I think all right so what are we going with for CPU choice I think we're gonna go with a 70 900 X so our current system has a 69 50 X almost dropped it there and this is also a 10 core so it should be kind of close in terms of performance although we're gonna get the next generations improvements and then we're also going to get our overclock improvements because this is going to overclock better than that ugly water-cooled hood now the weirdest thing about this configuration is this building a server with like Corsair gaming memory normally you would use ECC memory in a server because that way if there's a friggin solar flare and a bit flip or whatever it can automatically be corrected and the system can keep running without interruption but there's a couple of factors at play here one we're planning to overclock the bloody thing anyway it wasn't gonna be it wasn't gonna be have the same kind of stability you'd expect from a normal server and to because we're running an overclockable core i9 processor it actually doesn't even have support for ECC memory so with that said we couldn't just choose any old gaming Ram because it doesn't fit it's even on like the exact same plane as this bracket here so it just barely fits that's nuts I mean the funny thing about this too is that can't see I've wanted overclockable servers for as long as I've been a computer enthusiast but now that someone actually made one I'm like experienced enough to know that it's not like that not have been the greatest idea what is that so this is a 1050 T I had to do a little modification we took the shroud off but there's gonna be plenty of airflow so it shouldn't be a problem it's even got its own duct like it's perfectly fine all right so we're gonna have a slight issue here - so you have to take this thing out together here this connector is actually so close that it hits it and I'm gonna have to bend it down while you stick the card in there it looks ghetto but it's really not that ghetto what did I catch it I think I'm in no you cut all oh but it's in Oh God good enough screw all right you win oh so we're gonna put a headless HDMI thing in here too so when we're remoting in you get the full resolution you know honestly I don't even feel that bad about our get honest here because if you look at like how the server was actually designed they literally just took like a piece of foam here and cut a hole in it I think that's like and put it there to keep the airflow going through the radiators that jank it's like nice foam at least it's not like it's styrofoam it's probably like electrically apple hitting do it this way oh well man if Apple starts making servers again they're gonna have dongles on their servers you're just gonna see like a thunderbolt hanging out of the front of the server with like get your fiber line and your whatever like okay should we plug it in there so that's it yeah let's let's plug this top back on because I think the airflow is pretty Oh put this on the right way hold on I can do this Shh I believe impressive taking your server for a walk yeah all right let's go we got to take care of them otherwise they get out of shape stuff okay so we just found a spare spot in our server room just about we let it sit there yeah just slide it in there I mean the rails are really only designed for one server but like whatever yeah it's not like that's a really heavy one anyway that is really really loud like honestly here hold on can we close this door for a sec yeah yeah clearly even with all the sound deadening that we put in this room which people mocked me for but actually works for it works phenomenally thank you what's that yeah yeah it penetrates like I'm over by the green screen now that's an actual problem like ya know I don't know if that's gonna okay it just dialed it back a little yeah okay right now it's fine so process of overclocking this thing was actually kind of a nightmare but we're there and our CPU is running at a cool 4.7 gigahertz now it wasn't actually that easy to get it here gigabytes manual for this server doesn't exist yet yeah and there's some extra steps so in addition to setting your core voltage and setting your CPU multiplier like you would overclock you on a desktop board you have to key some magic value so let's go ahead and hit it with a stress test that 65 watts that I don't know 69 69 yes no bad all right so let's start a stress test make sure she holds 100% utilization 4.7 gigahertz what kind of temperatures are we looking at 62 1750 75 degrees heck yeah so we loaded some stuff on here we've got regular Cinebench which we're gonna run real quick here and by real quick I do mean literally real quick this should be very fast and then to address that Cinebench has actually gotten to the point where very high-end processors run it too fast to use it as a reliable benchmark we've got the new unofficial it's called Cinebench extreme extreme we're gonna try that out as well so kicking things off we got ourselves 2500 points which is pretty good now let's try extreme which is basically just four times the resolution this one first whoa look at those temps yeah they're starting to get up there that is quite the load Wow we are above ninety degrees on a handful of course here you might say that this benchmark takes a hot minute okay I'll give you that one oh we did detect some overheating but our throttling percentage is zero and it finished so she seems to be 656 which I have no context for because this is a brand new benchmark I've never used before so why don't we go ahead and shut all of that down let's do our our network network render okay so I got just down there that is one of Adobe's sample files sure so we're just open up final one and we're gonna export this like we would an LTT video so the 60 megabit per second and then 75 cool at 4k and it is fully utilizing our CPU so one thing that we observed about our network render server way back when I had intended to use like 18 cores eons in it or something was that there's a limit to how many threads media encoder can actually use so it's better to have fewer higher clock threads than it is to have many many threads in a lot of cases which is how we ended up with an overclocked render server in the first place so this looks like it could be a viable replacement so the results are in and Cinebench both Cinebench and Cinebench extreme gave us 20% increases in performance that's actually quite a bit more than I was expecting right so the increase in clock speed is 17 and a half it's still 20% so we're getting in like what 3% increase the IPC but then in Premiere we actually got a 30% uplift going from what it doesn't that thing having it a GTX 980 and a 16:9 50 and this 6:9 50x not frickin bad but the problem is it's loud the other problem is that this whole this whole experience still hasn't really enlightened us as to what that crap this thing's actually for so Jake intrepidly sent an email to gigabyte asking them what is this for why does it exist why did you build an overclockable 1u server can't even put a GPU like that doesn't really have networking like what would you even use this for and the answer is the finance industry high frequency trading so you would take this server you need the highest possible freakin performance you need something that's air-cooled so it can just be slotted into your existing server room you throw one of these puppies in or maybe even a newer one so this is a 100 gigabit InfiniBand card so super low latency yeah wire that up to your net and the difference in these like what are like milliseconds maybe five milliseconds the difference there could be hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in that industry a couple hundred traders over a year like it can be a big increase for a small amount of money so the investment in one of these servers makes a ton of sense there but for us I'm not running out and recommending that everyone go and buy one of these it's just too freaking loud it's it's very loud otherwise it'd be pretty sweet though yeah like maybe we should just re-inflate whatever like the second layer or we could even just put like more sound deadening around that box or we could just upgrade the server that's in there right now but we won't be able to do that without getting paid by
