ladies and gentlemen that rig right there is my main rig I used for video editing 64 gigabytes of ram 8700 k GT X 1080 ta and of course three RGB fans they really make performance go that much better but it's a special day because this rig right here I'm gonna be departing with it and you're probably wondering like why why would you be departing with it because right there we have the build that is gonna take its place that is X 79 Xeon 1680 v2 and ddr3 memory now after I complete this build I'm gonna be conducting a heap of tests comparing the 8700 K to the 1680 v2 and we're not looking at just a Cinebench school Cinebench score is is overrated it just does it tells you as a theoretical max best-case scenario if that program in a perfect world could use all those threads which we know it's not a perfect world especially when it comes to software and there's actually other things that Cinebench doesn't tell you like latency and that's one thing i've been delving into in the last few months so we're gonna build this pc then we're gonna compare it with a thousand FPS camera against the 8700 k and see what differences we can extract at a micro level yeah I think no milli level because it's milliseconds so today's gonna be the sort of preparation or the prologue to the next video where we'll be changing over my main rig to the 1680 b2 in other words we're upgrading our hardware from new to use price performance I know a lot of you guys gonna be loving that hitting that thumbs up button because this is going to mark a new journey plus a statement as well for me personally a lot of people criticize me of you know flipping and sort of pushing people to use price performance and not using it myself so I figured well what better way than to start editing 4k videos and do my whole workflow on use price performance and so what we're going to do now is I'm going to get a case for this whole build and nothing is better than my opinion in the air 540 so I'm gonna go pick up one of these I've actually got to build a PC for someone as well it's gonna be picking up two air 540s and also some other parts as well I'm gonna be meeting up with the king of the coast and we're gonna go get those parts he's got to go get some other PC parts as well so it's gonna be a little cool vlog that you guys are gonna come through with us today and see but in the meantime I do have a massive rubbish pile here and yes that is a shoe in the rubbish pile as well because those shoes are so dirty and that is an as rock pillow behind that and they're a sponsor of the channel good old as rock but with all that aside let's go jump in the yes 'mobile and get things done and now we are back at the lab the studio the one and only now with two air 540's so favorite case of all times the air series I love these cases so we got one here gonna build out and then one is gonna be the main rig which is gonna start building out as well so two builds gonna get done but also while we were out there was some hustling that was done right on the road so we went to Brisbane to pick up these cases because and that's like about an hour drive because the Gold Coast store had none in stock and I couldn't be bothered dealing with the people on the coast and king of the coast actually wanted comfort drivers us and of course we're just looking at deals as we're going to Brisbane always on that hustle and grind and we found a PC an x79 PC of the sale and it was a pretty good price 650 and so we went over there and it was a Diego was a really nice guy we met up with him he had a few pcs up for sale he ended up throwing in a power supply for nothing he said there's a little bit of wine so I have to check that out in Kenya fix it I pulled the cooler out of this and also over here I got the x79 saber-tooth motherboard so we kind of did a deal and I sort of pulled this out I got this and the cooler for 150 Australian dollars but it did have a little bit of a problem with it I think some of the dim memory is not being recognized so I don't know if this is a common problem with sabertooth motherboards might be somewhat of the PCB in the middle may be bent down over time and the traces I don't hit the CPU entirely not too sure but we will check that out but whatever the deal is this price for this motherboard was ridiculously good ko TC also ended up getting another PC with the 280 X and an i-5 65 or 6400 and he got that for 450 AUD so I ended up sort of just going in for the motherboard because I did the haggling and all that and yeah now we're gonna put something together and see what comes out of this so it's now the next day and we've got the main rig finally setup except it is missing one little thing and that is this right here the 16 atv2 we just got this in the mail so I Gregg from science studio I got to send this to his house and then he then forwarded that on to me because the eBay seller who was selling this wouldn't ship internationally so got that big thanks to Greg we're gonna put this thing in now this computer and then we're gonna see how it performs so now we're just finished putting these zeon in and there's one more element to put in this rig and since we did have a HD 60 pro capture card in there before we're actually gonna be upgrading to the 4k 60 Pro so Elgato were kind enough to send this out and this will essentially enable some of the gameplay captures and also some of the captures of the benchmark rig or other rigs that I hook up to this PC to get 4k footage now so the quality of the videos when I get capture footage will just be that much better so this card here is about double the price of this here the HD 60 pro but of course you're getting over doubled the capture with 4k 60fps so it's pretty much the best of the best now it does run across HDMI so you will have to make sure that your cables have the bandwidth to handle 4k 60fps if you wish to choose that setting but also as well that the interface or the graphics card that you're running off has hdmi 2.0 support too so here they are side-by-side and you can see that it's a lot bigger and a lot heavier so there's a lot more hardware going in the 4k 60 Pro but also the PCIe lanes looks like it's using up double the PCIe lanes that this is 1x this is 2x by the looks of it so we're gonna drop this in the PC now and see if it works because the box says it does need a 6th gen Intel or better and I mean the dizzyland we're putting in the 1680 v2 is actually much more powerful than a lot of six genin four core CPUs so hopefully we can get it to work if it doesn't we'll do some troubleshooting and so we can get out of this thing so here it is now the final look at the main rig we're just actually overclocking the x79 right now 4.6 gigahertz low latency memory I think I got it like eight timings with nine nine twenty four so a little bit not as what I wanted on the ddr3 but not to worry this rig here we're gonna do a quick before and after with this just to show you guys what's gonna happen around here quickly but also as well I have done some testing a thousand FPS on this rig which I'll be using to compare with the x79 behemoths here we are now after ten minutes on the 1680 V 2 at 4.6 gigahertz and we have a successful run here so the temperatures are staying under 70 degrees really good since the fans are on the auto noise profile - so Ivan even set him at a static percentage the power here it's using up about 180 watts and Emma decree temperatures are about 22 degrees so this thing is really really doing well so the ivy bridge-e 1680 v2z on that is soldered as well from the dye to the lid so it's just got everything I want to use some GC extreme as well using the H 110 I from Corsair so these temperatures really well controlled let's run some benchmarks No it's nap master flex which has got the 16-day TV too on the sabre-tooth which isn't as good as a motherboard we were getting for around 1.25 volt and that was with 4.4 gigahertz so that was going really well at those so you can see the diminishing returns really kicks in after 4.4 gigahertz or 4.5 gigahertz on this particular CPU and so what we're gonna do now is try and go for four point five to see what temperature's and what speeds we can get because another thing as well as we've got a HX one thousand powers apply here which is really good especially for low ripple and we've also got pretty much the best multi board you can get on x79 so we've got a 50% load line calibration which is essentially helping so the highs there you've got three different settings you've got the height 50% and that's allowing us to get these same voltages was setting in and that's because it's a really good motherboard and really good power supply in combo so this combo is pretty much the best for overclocking on water and air and the temperatures are really well too but let's see what 4.5 you go that's gonna be done at and to the right of me now is the finished build it is looking really good it's also performing above my expectations this Z on the air 1680 v2 it is really good is legit x79 motherboard as well it's got all those features that I'd want USB front out I also got a plethora of USB ports at the back and the BIOS is so good to work with I sort of missed these old school biases that just have all the options and all the descriptions and everything to just get to overclocking nowadays it seems like biases have all these fancy fans and RGB control and I kind of missed this bias right here it's just really the best of the best it's just so many options I can't stress that enough this case is well the f5 40 I absolutely love this it is my favorite case of all time it flows really good and also the noise is really low too and the capture card I've got that working as well nvme 2 terabyte drive is working as a boot drive too so big thanks to the stranger on the internet who posted up that modified bass I know a lot of you guys want to see me get nvme booting on older platforms I will look into that and see what I can do in terms of how to get that working maybe make a tutorial for you guys and now the last thing I'm going to talk about with this rig is not just the price performance but also the performance so I did pick up a heap of deals and the 1680 v2 that is a little bit expensive people are gonna look at that and they're gonna say okay costs about the same as an 8700 K and you're really getting the same performance when you look at some of those simulated benchmarks but when it comes down to it this build isn't just about that price performance like I could have got out and used the x79 board that I got in Japan and I could have used a lot cheaper parts in this build and made something that came in really low and came in really hard in terms of value for money but for me it's also about getting the deals on something like this is Zeus motherboard which is the rampage is literally like the best board you can get on x79 using that and doing what I think in theory should be possibly the best in slot CPU and multiple combo to this date so that's gonna be coming in part two and I can't wait to actually do those numbers myself and research everything but so far so good I'm really enjoying this rig even after being on for a day and I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you did then be sure to hit that like button and if you have any questions comments about this PC I don't even know what I'm gonna call it needs a name still but I'm always open to suggestions but this is a part one concluding pretty much the prologue where I've done the build showed you guys some tees some performance numbers but in part two I'm going to be making the comparison against the 8700 K and I'm gonna be going over the nitty gritties I'm not going to be focusing on things like Cinebench scores because there's so much to tech than just the Cinebench score and that's what I'm starting to realize in the last over the last year when I've been testing a lot of different CPUs out and also test driving them as my main rigs for a few months at the very least so this rig is going to be my new main rig for how long I don't know but it's already that snappiness it's already taking me over and I'm loving it and I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you did then be sure to hit that like button and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
