so you've probably seen the title and you've already freaked out you're like Brian what is going on this is tech yes City I usually never see builds above $1,000 and let me explain let me tell you the story we've got here a verizon thread Ripper we've got a loan sample sent in from AMD this is the 1950 X absolutely incredible 16 cos 32 threads cougar sent over this lovely case this is their flagship conquer and then of course I have the 1080 Ti I've got some other parts gigabyte sent over there or a7 gaming motherboard and I thought we're gonna put together one massive build that is just gonna conquer the world come on we all knew that punch-out was coming welcome back to tech yo city this is brian coming to you guys today with a $3,700 build I believe this is the most expensive build I've ever done on the channel if you're in Australia the good news is that it's an extra $1,500 over that u.s. price so 5,280 Australian dollars now getting straight into the parts this build is centered around this puppy here Rison thread Ripper 16 cores 32 threads absolute behemoth you can overclock this thing I've also got a review coming for a very shortly where compare it against the 7900 ex but basically what you need to know is this thing is designed for a workstation when those applications can utilize those 16 cores 32 threads then this thing will indeed do what the name states it will rip the threads thread Ripper is here to stay it is a beast for productivity though for the gram scale we're going with the NVIDIA GTX 10 atti this is the MSI Juke variant I absolutely love it's my favorite variant of all 1080 T eyes it looks very sleek it's really quiet and it performs really well too for memory we've got 64 gigabytes for 16 gigabyte sticks from Corsair Vengeance led memory on a motherboard from Oris this is the gaming 7 and this thing is literally lit it looks amazing with the LEDs that actually matched the case theme that we using today with the orange and black and then of course powering all these components is the C Sonic focus gold 750 watt powers play C Sonic makes some of the best power suppliers in the business this is modular as well fully modular so you only use the cables that you need it really takes away from all the clutter inside the case and really gives you a clean looking build with all black cables too and for storage we've got a 960 gigabyte Corsair Neutron xti and for backup we've got a 3 terabyte Western Digital blue now generally if you aren't hooking into a network attached storage then you probably will want more storage on top of what I'm putting in this build here today and then for cooling the 1950 X we're going with the H 100 IV to cool and out of the box this thing will support Rison so what you have to do is take off the original bracket include it in the box with the H 100 a and then take the bracket that's included with the risin thread ripper and then replace that and then mount it onto your motherboard and you should be having happy days though this whole time I've been talking your eyes have probably been wandering to the left of me or to the right of you depending on how you look at it and this is the Cougar conquer this is their flagship case 300 us it is expensive but it is just amazing to work with really high in case worthy of that price tag though with all that aside let's start building this thing and then benchmarking it and also all the parts that I've used in today's video will be in the description below so be sure to check that out if you're interested in any of the parts that I've used here today so after a few hours of intense building we've finally completed the conquer rig here it is in all its glory we're gonna take it outside soon while the sun's still out get some nice b-roll shots and also on that note with high end builds you generally would want to get cosmetics to match that performance this thing is insane we'll show you some benchmarks very soon but also we've got the cosmetics to match that I mean if I was going to go out and buy a brand new car for example I'd want that thing to look just as good as it goes fast so we've now set up the Cougar and we've got pub G in the background running at 4k high settings with the 1080i however one problem I did come into was that the LED vengence memory I had to actually pull two sticks of this out of the gaming seven Horace X 399 motherboard because the compatibility issues at the moment this is an infant motherboard it's in its infant stages so we'll need a BIOS update to bring out the full four sticks of 16 gigabytes of memory to get 64 in total however with that said let's take a look at the performance figures of a few games of 4k and then we'll do some productivity benchmarks for you guys so they were the games done 4k resolution this PC handled those games absolutely fine it was a really good experience really smooth and what we got behind me now is an Adobe Premiere Pro project 4k over half an hour of footage we're gonna click the render button time and see how long this thing takes so this thing for 4k video editing in Premiere Pro it's called 48 minutes to render over 35 minutes of footage at 4k so that is insane really good performance if you're looking for something for productivity but with those benchmarks I'll run for you guys Cinebench and pov-ray give you guys a little tease without giving too much up in nineteen fifty x review away so there are these guys the thread Ripper build it is finished and it is performing so well in productivity benchmarks also the gaming numbers are really good at 4k too so this thing will do really well in the latest titles and of course where it shines best is doing workstation applications like Adobe Premiere Pro if your video editing like me it's gonna kick some absolute tail and we're a build like this is doing really well because of the pots included that see Sonic focus gold power supply that thing is modular whisper quiet and didn't miss a beat also a good thing about it is the black cabling included I don't have to go out and get cable extensions because they look really sleek and of course I can get rid of all the extra clutter in the build itself and of course for the cooling we go with the H 100 IV 2 from Corsair this thing did a good job it handled the CPU at 4 gigahertz only just it was getting pretty warm on the radiator also the vrm was getting pretty hot too however if you want to step up cooling on thread Ripper you can as an additional 4 pin connector and I would suggest getting a 360 mil rad if you've wanted to take this CPU higher than 4 gigahertz over the graphics card the Duke from MSI the 1080 TI this thing was remaining whisper-quiet and putting out really good numbers at 4k gaming on high settings on even some of the latest titles now the last part in this build that made a complete is the gaming 7 from Oris is the x3 99 motherboard it is a little bit expensive coming in around 360 us so it is a expensive motherboard but if you're gonna get LED lighting and you're gonna do it right on a motherboard then this is how it should look in my opinion this board just lit up so well I'm not really a big fan of lighting on cosmetics with motherboards but this thing did such a good job if you want it done properly this is how you should do it and of course the cosmetics isn't the only good thing about this motherboard when it also came to the performance of the board itself in the vrm and the BIOS control this thing did really well too you've got the option to control load line calibration settings and also control the switching weight on the VRM and how many phases of being used of course with the performance figures I only gave you guys a taste of what this thing can do especially the 1950 ex I will be uploading a comparison between the 1950s and the 7900 ex very soon so I'll put the link up here when that video is available in the description below where I'll be showing all the productivity scores that I've tested and also including a lot more gaming benchmarks that are both its stock speeds with this CPU and overclock settings versus 7900 ex with the same deal so one thing that did annoy me however about this build in the 1950 ex in general is the rise in master software which basically when you install it you can control things like clock speeds and also change between creative mode and gaming mode creative mode is out of the box settings 16 cos 32 threads great for productivity though when you turn on gaming mode you will get slightly better performance in games however with that said you will have your core count and threads down to 8 cos 16 threads essentially making it arisin 7 1700 which in ways you have to restart your computer to change it to gaming mode and then restart it to go back to creative mode so in ways it wastes that time that I'm sure a lot of people are going to spend the extra money on in order to buy the 1950 ex when they're doing things like rendering videos so now of course I know a lot of people gonna be asking about this case behind me this is cougars conquer case it's their flagship model it comes in at $300 u.s. so it is quite expensive if you're in Australia it's 350 AUD however it is good to see that cougar is pricing their parts internationally quite fairly so that is a good thing about cougar in the case behind me here now it's is all-metal construction with tempered glass very high quality and I will say it does take a lot of time to build in because you do have to be careful with all the parts as to not scratch the metal for example and of course whenever you're working with tempered glass you should be taking extra care as well now with this all-metal construction it is of course high quality but it is very heavy too so keep that in mind if you want to call it around I recommend holding on to the top panel here that is detached from the tempered glass itself however when it came to working with this case it was amazing it's so spacious it's so easy to work with the instruction manual is so detailed you can do it all a couple of hours took me about three hours to do this build from start to finish cable management on the behind of the case was extremely easy to work with however besides the awesome construction Cougars also sought out this case very well you get three included fans which light up orange and go with the orange and black theme of this build they're also very quiet and quite powerful now at the front of the case you can mount a 240 ml rad and up the top of the case you can mount a 360 mil rad so there is options for custom water cooling or if you want to put in an all-in-one at the top of the case you get a touch power button audio jacks and USB 3 included to all the parts are marked out with ease in the top of the case even detaches for ease of installation of the water cooler although this case may seem perfect thus far there's actually two little things that I didn't like about the conker the first being the drive mounting options they include a bracket which supports two SSDs 2.5 inch or one 3.5 inch drive bay now for me personally I always love to use a combination of SSDs and hard drives in my builds I believe it's a perfect balance of speed and value for money in terms of storage and with this case what I found was I had to actually get o mount one SSD on the back and one harddrive on the front so typically I'd like to see them include the option to mount one hard drive and two SSDs on this bracket included the second pet peeve of course was just the sheer size of the box that it comes in now I understand that this tempered glass and it has to be packaged really well and of course it is packaged really well it's just that it was massive and the case itself is really big - don't let the eye fool you this thing is bigger than a typical ATX case especially lengthwise height wise it's about the same as your standard cases that you'll come into just lengthwise it is very long and it will take up a lot of your desk space anyway guys that's about it for today's monster thread Ripper build I hope you enjoyed this video if you did then be sure to hit that like button and let me know in the comment section below what you think of Cougars conquer case I've actually also got their panzer case as well which comes in at $100 that's tempered glass - I've heard really good things about that so I look forward to bringing a build in that but I must say for a flagship case this is def leave flagship and is worthy if you want something that is just simply premium it has all the options it has awesome included fans all steel construction with tempered glass so it's gonna look badass and it's also going to perform really well in the real world and you guys that's about it for today I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye check out all those calls and threads damn however with the PC like this you're probably gonna be hooking into a network attached storage anyway hence why we don't have a whole lot of storage but we've got some real good storage focus Brian focus
