2014-08-31
another day of badass builds without the BS this time x99 flavored welcome to techyv tomorrow weather shake it spicy whoa so what's up you guys like that intro give a thumbs up and if you like x99 give a double thumbs up cuz today's video is all about the x99 platform featuring Intel's latest Core i7 59 60 X extreme edition processor and you guys all know ddr4 comes to the table with this now Before we jump into the video though I want to give a special shout out to the people over at Squarespace for making today's video possible for you folks to check out so you guys are going hey what's Squarespace well you guys are going to dig in if you guys want to save money and get a free trial period all you guys got to do is enter T ot at the checkout which gives you a free trial and 10% off if you subscribe with that said let's jump in and check out this system real quickly in case some of you folks out there just happen to miss it this is intel's very first desktop 8 core cpu that's not xeon really big news to these folks now the one we're using is an 8 core cpu has 16 virtual so you have 16 threads running a bunch of mixes things absolutely incredible and doing rendering and crunching and all that stuff comes in at 3.0 gigahertz 3.5 gigahertz on its boost 20 megabytes of smart cache this thing's really geared for a hardcore stuff now the chipset is the 2011 v3 now a lot of people out there gonna ask this questionnaire I saw the comments in the previous video saying hey well my old CPU work of this and will just work with ddr3 absolutely not this chipset supports ddr4 these cpu support ddr4 and the old CPUs will not transmigrate over to it but what that said you guys can see back here the system's here I've got the motherboard up here behind me very much thanks to people over at gigabyte is their x99 gaming Wi-Fi motherboard and this thing's pretty decked out we've got 16 gigabytes of ddr4 from the people over at Corsair on the outside who is something nice from Corsair the 750d I also have the H 105 all supreme court so it's an all-in-one water cooler that's inside this bad boy it's keeping this thing running absolutely cool in fact this thing runs so damn quiet that it's running actually behind me right now and you can probably hear the air conditioner over it and it never reached a temperature over 42 Celsius ever even during the most intense testing so this thing's running cool and absolutely quiet the CPU itself actually has a TDP of 140 and this is actually a little bit higher than the previous generation X 79 next up we have the video cards now you guys can see that we're using two EVGA GTX 780 eyes and SLI mode now the core i7 59 60 X Extreme Edition we're using features up to 40 lanes of PCI Express and four of those lanes can be totally dedicated to video so we're only using two cards in SLI but we could use up to four without losing any performance issues and getting no bottlenecks whatsoever but gaming isn't something that we're going to over saturate with this video because the difference between X 79 and X 99 were very small indeed so with that said let's just keep moving on talking about the parts for the power supply we have a brand new from the people over at cooler matte so this is their brand new V 850 it's got plenty of juice and is powering this thing just perfectly another thing to take note of the rear i/o on the gigabyte motherboard is really cool check out how it totally lights up and like this cool weird like neon purple color I think that's really awesome and one thing also cool about it is a lot of times you're trying to plug that stuff in behind your desk you know you can't see you're just like what the heck it totally eliminates that frustration because everything is laid out and lit up so you can see they're like oh yeah dummy-proof and boom plug it right in it's a very good feature than the people over gigabyte and I have to say hey they're gonna probably get a lot of fans out there who were given that a thumbs up as far as storage and boot drive goes I use the Intel 520 series 240 gigabyte as our main boot drive and a pyro 240 gigabyte Drive the people of a patriot as my main storage drive and last but not least a couple of small details we did use a DVD obviously to install the windows 8.1 now I really absolutely hate windows 8.0 as far as I'm concerned it can seriously like burn in hell and disappear but Windows 8.1 changed my mind once I install that update have my normal desktop it was cool to be able to switch between what I wanted to look out without being forced into this damn panel thing I didn't like that whatsoever now it's a lot better to use and I'm happy with Windows 8.1 we were on both of our test systems in comparison and so with that said let's jump in and let's check out the test scores your backs rocking out once again to the new benchmark song now a lot of you guys that they're always asked hey how did you guys make your music website that's WWE Tech of tomorrow music com we did that all with Squarespace now Squarespace is really kind of unique they have this totally unique drag-and-drop interface so that when you go and you try to design your website you can do it very quickly because everything's really intuitive a really cool thing about Squarespace as well is they have 24/7 technical support that's right you guys are based out of New York the Big Apple and no matter what time day or night that you need them they are there for you and it's also never been easier to set up your own online store you guys get a free trial by entering quixote at the checkout and also if you guys decide to join you get an additional 10% let's touch real quickly about their performance of this machine now obviously in gaming between the x79 and the x99 and just using a couple of cards there's not much difference in fact the x79 and x99 platform in general are only for gaming if you're gonna be using a bunch of video card meaning like for because all those PCI lanes being available is gonna help you out a lot other than that if you've got an older 4790 or 4770k your gaming machine is going to be just fine now transferring a 4k video and premiere saved a minute now over a time a minute really adds up a lot and when it comes to number crunching obviously you can see that there's a big performance difference between the previous generation and this generation the drug we tested before was the 49 60 X this is the new 59 60 X one little number difference but you can see that the performance is actually pretty good it's not mind-boggling but for Intel it's pretty damn good now if I was somebody out there and I own the next 79 platform I wouldn't be running out and going trying to pawn it and buy this one but if you're just coming into the market I would definitely choose the X 99 over the X 79 any day of the week because those little performance boost over time add up just think about it a minute you do the videos that could be in hours which adds up to being days so over the year and over time you're gonna be saving a bunch of time which equates to money in the long run so that's it folks wraps up today's video like usual all the information for this system will be down there below the like button which hope you'll hit you like this video and also if you guys happen to miss anything and still have more questions about the CPU and the chipset and all that stuff make sure you guys check out our previous video that we did explaining all that stuff for you the good fans so hey thanks for watching if you guys aren't something you like what you see then hey sub the channel you guys will see me in your inbox imma or accurate Tekken tomorrow and uh I'm off to have some fun
