can that be right hasn't really been almost three years since we filmed whole room water cooling where we upgraded all our editing workstations that means we've been using the same base editing workstations for almost three years I mean they've served us well six core extreme editions 32 gigs ran Titan graphics cards all that good stuff but come on baby it's 2017 it's time for an upgrade so we're going to be moving to the latest ten core extreme editions and perhaps even more importantly RGB and to help me I have enlisted a very special guest my favorite Soviet Canadian Ivan who is going to be helping me perform these upgrades in place with the goal being to hot-swap everybody's editing workstations so we lose almost no productivity will it work probably not so if we miss any uploads you'll know what happened but darn it we're going to do our best let's go so this is the part where he finds out why he was brought in today it's a build-off hmm do you have a screwdriver what is that it's a custom-made one of course it is yeah how did I even ask Wow it's really smooth mm-hmm looks like it has all kinds of uses mm-hmm I'm sorry I touched it you only got half of the table don't touch my side yeah that's me don't don't touch my side don't yell at me we're not in a relationship so in terms of motherboard the choice was actually pretty straightforward we were looking for something based on a Seuss's x99 platform eight sticks of RAM support we needed lots of PCI Express slots and we wanted rock-solid stability so that's why we went with this board versus the more advancement oh right and it has an RGB header the most important feature in terms of processor well as you probably notice this video was brought to you by Intel so if you get to choose whatever processor you want in Intel's lineup come on you go with the 69 50 X so not only are we getting faster individual course compared to our existing 49 60 X's we are actually getting four more processing cores so that means more multitasking that means better performance as we've measured before in the past so if you wanted you could actually check out a video that we did a little while ago on the best possible hardware setup for video encoding we get more performance there and we get better multitasking chill out man I'm the one who should do Russian yeah you never worked in the office back with us you never wanted to oh what I hit okay so what I could do is figure out the orientation myself but thanks to the side-by-side format of this build off and the respect that I have for my competitor I'm just going to jump right in and do it the same way he did it see he congratulate Smee for cheating isn't he wonderful I know where she lives Oh RGB oh oh advantage Linus because he didn't spell out all the rules of engagement well you're already married get it get hey so in terms of the power supply upgrade here we're actually going from 750 watt 80 plus gold power supplies that were sunny modular to Corsairs hxi 850 watt power supplies one of the big advantages here is that the fan itself actually turns off when it's not under a heavy load which means that these systems will be extremely quiet at least acoustically they're going to be RGB so they're going to be their own flavor of loud did you put in all four screws on the radiator or all eight neither sir and why you do this because you taught me that way Ivan do not do half a job ever oh oh you know what you may have made a mistake though your RGB fans will not be visible from the outside then I might have made a mistake dun-dun-duh since this is the only thing that's going to be lighting up the inside of the case I actually do stick with my decision because then at least we'll have the inside of the case leaked somehow as opposed to only having it coming from the front fans which are kind of further to the front arbitrary rules are also arbitrary arbitrary it's like you can't install the motherboard until you install the AAA oh you can install the AO until you stall the fans you can install the fans until you install the we got to create that fake like that fake cooking show attention where's the salt see this is what I love about modern cases that have the the middle kind of nubbin thing going on there so you can actually mount a motherboard and it'll stay in place well enough for you to put in the rest of the motherboard screws while you look for the motherboard screws where are my motherboard screws oh thank you oh shoot novice mistake man I got my eye oh she'll stuck on one of my ports so I have to pull the board out fortunately I've only put in one screw no war shows on there either no you don't need washers on the radiator whoops the metal if you don't my oh come on it's fine now I have to flip my idiot orientation to think my two hose will collide with your friend I always run into trouble with my hose colliding hallo that's okay we've got lots of clean terrible humor we don't need the dirty terrible humor either the SATA cable in your poker you just happy to see me yeah if I was happy yeah yeah I could this thing yeah see it's even a little weeny one like we need like eeny weeny but also ki Vorenus okay this is a trick that I use but never recommend where you just kind of line it up on the pins and then you use the screwdriver did you have a ton if you slip you hit your motherboard with a screwdriver the build on stun I won by ten minutes but given that he's never built in the case before I'd say that's kind of within you know margin of error so it's going to come down to which build you guys ultimately think is better Ivan took a different approach to the cabling at the back a different approach to the cabling at the front and opted to put the fans on the inside to illuminate the motherboard area rather than on the outside and as for me I have my 24 pin cable going up the cable management run I have my my drive cable really not looking as good back there I don't think I did as good a job of these cables but I've got my Thunderbolt 3 card installed so bonus points for that they're all supposed to have Thunderbolt 3 and 10 gig lan and I've got my fans visible from the top here so that I can have like dope animated lighting effects like that of course we had to build six of these systems and I even did the other four and he figures this is what he calls the final form so what did you do differently on this one right well starting from the front I 2k extremely neat approach to the bottom part of the cabling see how everything snakes around and is barely visible except for this little Remo piece over here the other thing is that I actually found where to tuck away all of the extra cables there's a cavity up here here so you can see the back set is very clean and finally I managed to stick all of the thicker cables behind this protective sheath and even cleaned up the bottom a little bit still not perfectly happy with the result but that's the key a clean backside alright so of course you guys aren't here just for that but also performance so we tested these systems a couple of different ways first with the RGB lighting mostly disabled the RAM is still on but all the fans off so we could get a baseline for how much of an improvement we were looking at over our previous systems and as you guys can see it is pretty freaking huge whether we're talking Cinebench whether we're talking Adobe Media encoder going from 6 to 10 cores and faster cores with upgraded graphics is a massive difference but and that's without RGB flare so my system here was actually tested a little bit differently we turned on the RGB lighting with some animations and overclock the CPU to 4.2 gigahertz one of which we're not sure if it was the RGB or the overclocked allowed us to achieve simply mind-boggling perform it actually feels like this is an upgrade over the three year old systems in everything from video editing to heavy multitasking to even gaming so when it comes to the red footage that we're working on now that we can swap everybody's systems out now we're looking at definite real usability improvements over the old systems things like timeline scrubbing are going to be much faster on these systems than they were on the old ones and I think that pretty much wraps it up thank you guys for coming along on this wild and hopefully entertaining ride thank you to Intel Asus and Corsair for hooking us up with what we think are pretty much the most ba editing workstations on the planet and thanks to you guys for watching see you next time oh yeah and thanks to Ivan for being here and be productive and that too so thanks for watching guys if you dislike this video you know where that button is but if you
