excellent hello everyone and welcome to paul's hardware i am paul of course and i am back i've been kind of gone quite a few weekends over the past month I was in San Francisco I was in Boston I took a trip to the desert but now I have some time to make some more videos and to celebrate I decided to do a little bit of hardware porn for you guys and I say that sure why not what I have here is the new ITV test bed I brought it home to do some final touches because it worked there doing some construction right now more on that in just a bit but I thought I'd give you guys a nice close up tour because currently it is outfitted with for NVIDIA GTX Titan now the case is probably the first thing that stands out to you that is the in windy frame case just did an unboxing of this over on newegg TV it's going to be our test bed test frame so to speak and again I brought it home to tidy up the cables get it camera-ready we're going to do a video on this at work probably next week assuming that they're done with all of the painting and construction they're doing right now because we're getting a bit of an expansion we're getting some more room and some more space and to protect it from all that I decided I might as well just bring it home and finish up my cabling again for way GTX Titans in there so that's pretty awesome it's probably about the best configuration that we're going to have in this test bed for quite some time but we've been doing lots of testing on those and I have one more video with benchmarks that will be coming soon again over on new ITV so stay tuned for that powering the whole system is a Hercules 1600 watt power supply by roseville you might notice all the PCI Express cables that are currently plugged in those are the only thing that I didn't really tie down too much as far as the cable management goes and that's simply because they're not going to be there all the time at the center is an asus rampage for formula motherboard kind of tying the whole thing together it's an excellent motherboard for both functionality as well as overclocking now we have four by four gigabytes of g.skill trident x ddr3 memory it's rated for speeds up to 2400 our stock speeds that we usually run it out or 1600 for overclocking just recently I was running at about eighteen sixty six although I wasn't to close attention to the memory speeds for those particular tests our SSD with our Windows 7 operating system is the SanDisk Ultra Plus 256 gigabyte it's attached thereto the back kind of tucked out of the way and then of course the center is an N cell core i7 3970 X CPU so just about the fastest consumer grade non xeon processor you can purchase right now we're running it at stock for the tests that were already up on newegg TV for the upcoming ones we were running it over clocked at 4.5 gigahertz that's what it's set to right now that snakes of course to the cooler which is the cooler master seidon 120m 120 millimeter closed loop cpu cooler but it's the thicker radiator version no notice I was able to actually attach it pretty nicely to the in windy frame just using one of the hundred and twenty millimeter fan mats and all I had to do was turn it sideways so that the fat parts of the radiator can stick out and still attached on there it actually works quite well also running that on pull well push-pull but I'm pulling air into the case to give some more airflow over the V RMS and whatnot on the motherboard as mentioned we did do some overclocking with this system I've been overclocking I got it to a nice stable 4.5 gigahertz because doing my last video with the 4-way Titans everyone said about how far can this actually go so stay tuned again newegg TV we'll be bringing you an overclocking video with all the Titans overclocked it's kind of finicky to overclock for tightness all at once but I was spreading them between 11 25 and 11 50 megahertz which was pretty awesome got some pretty amazing numbers out of it as well and then we also upped the pixel counts by way of three NEC 30 inch monitors 2560 by 1600 benchmarks at a resolution of 76 x 1600 which is pretty massive so stay tuned for that even ran BioShock Infinite that that resolution so got all that coming very very soon on newegg TV but that is going to happen it for this quick video again just want to give you guys a close up look at all this because some of these video cards some of the titans are on temporary loan I I'm coming to the end of my time with him which is very sad but it's been really cool to play with all that hardware and see what kind of performance if you get also a kind of power draw you need the 1600 watts is definitely warranted under peak load it was pushing past thirteen hundred watts which is a lot of wattage but for the amount of power gets Titans actually not even that bed there's a closer look at the newegg TV testbed which I currently have here at home you've been watching Paul's hardware thank you very much guys for a brain with me over the past month because i don't have been posting quest many videos i should have more for you coming very soon so stay tuned thanks for watching we'll see you next time
