My First AMD Threadripper System - The Killer Frost Build!

2017-12-10
hey guys you know that every month here on tech tomorrow we try to bring you guys at least one custom build and that's right during the holiday season we're about to bring you another one and this is our very first thread Ripper system that we've ever built but it's absolutely incredible I mean this thing looks good it's very fast it's totally quiet and overall just one of the nicest systems that we've ever done here at Tech and tomorrow and all the parts inside of it are extremely high quality parts and you guys just have to admit this thing is just beautiful also I'm a big fan of like the Green Arrow and all those DC people so this bill is called the killer frost because it's going to kill your wallet but it runs really frosty inside the killer frost are a lot of high quality components from the case to the video card to the memory everything is pretty much top-of-the-line now for the case we went for the Corsair crystal series 5 70 X RGB case now this thing's got a whole lot of nice features tempered glass and few folks out there with RGB hey it's all built in the case gigabyte was totally cool enough to kick us down annex 399 designer e^x motherboard now this is X 399 this is a very very expensive motherboard it's kind of why we use the name killer frost for one thing it's gonna kill your wallet and it runs pretty frosty being that this is my very first thread Ripper system I went with the AMD thread Ripper 1900 X and this is an 8 core 16 thread CPU it's made for pretty much doing absolutely anything you want content creation gaming streaming anything you want can be done with this processor it's very powerful and it's not really the most expensive processor in the world though because it only comes to market about five hundred and forty nine dollars so for a high-end system it's still not too overly overpriced before we did this build I had read online that a lot of the CPU coolers out there would not really cool the thread over CPU optimally well of course our Hydra series 81:5 I it worked absolutely perfect and at the end will show you how cool this system runs even under full load one thing I really wanted to do with this build is try to stick as much AMD inside of the computer as I can and we all know that the AMD Radeon rx Vegas 64 cards they are a fortune now unfortunately the model that we're using it's the power color red devil it's not currently available at least I'm not able to find an online anywhere for sale we'll have a link down below for a substitute card but this red devil card is really amazing and they're known for overclocking they're known for running cool and being absolutely pretty much the fastest rx Vegas 64 is you can get your hands on for the boot drive we're using the Corsair Neutron series NX 500 400 gigabyte PCIe SSD now this thing is incredibly fast so for transferring your files editing doing all that stuff it's going to be one of the fastest things you can get your hands on for the storage drive we want the seagate constellation es series drive that's a 2 terabyte drive with 7200 rpm 64 megabytes of cache and actually one of the more affordable parts in this system one thing about AMD boards and memory is a lot of the boards that are out there you can't get the true speed of the memory without doing some overclocking and some voltage adjustments well the memory that we use actually right off the bat is 3200 megahertz and as soon as I installed in the gigabyte board hit the XMP profile it ran with that automatically with no weird stuff like old revolting or anything else now this is a g.skill 32 gigabyte trident z kit there's actually 4 8 gigabyte sticks in the kit it's ddr4 and like I said 30 Twitter megahertz right out of the box with no adjustments but here's where you're going to a brick this memory is almost 700 bucks yep I said it powering the killer frost is the corsair rm7 50x power supply now it's 80 plus gold certified and 750 watts which was actually perfect for this system inside this build you guys can see that we used a lot of fans there are two in the front one in the back now these particular fans are the corsair ml1 40 pro fans these only light up white but they feature magnetic levitation if you don't know what this means it pretty much makes your fans completely silent even when they're running almost full blast and the three fans on top are the corsair ll series the ll 140 RGB now these are 140 millimeter dual light loop fans and they're absolutely quiet and you can get these fans in a 2-pack for under 100 bucks you guys can see that the cable management in this system has to be really good because obviously you can see everything inside of it and that can be a real pain in the ass to get perfect but anthony was able to achieve that no problem you guys can see that everything inside here is totally clean and the fans are all set right we have two intake fans in the front and a single fan in the back for exhaust now that we've seen what makes the killer frost such a killer system let's check out those benchmarks you guys can see that the thread Ripper CPU handles everything without a problem and one of the really nice things about this system like I said before is it is totally quiet and the temperatures you can see that the thread Ripper CPU never got over 59 Celsius even under full load and the Red Devil video card even though that sounds really hot never got over 68 Celsius I was really really excited about doing our very first thread Ripper build I think it came out really excellent obviously the price on a lot of these parts are over the top but like usually you know the case in the design of all that is really the look of the system the motherboard yeah it looks absolutely great but I mean you could probably find one that was a little bit lower price I don't know if I'd have the same quality of some of the board because this motherboard really kicks ass but you could probably do that at the end of the day this system you could probably build it around this you can find good prices probably for about $3,000 unfortunately the video card the one that we have inside the system it's actually not out for sale right now I'm sure it will be soon but overall this thing just looks clean like I said before it to me it's kind of like art and industry all in one system everything on it runs nice it runs quiet it's beautiful I mean other than the fact that it's really expensive there's nothing to really complain about about the system now for you guys who follow the channel we've got some cool coming up on the 14th of December we're going to begin the 12 days of Christmas that's right so from every day from that day till Christmas day we're gonna be giving stuff to you and yes it's international but I want to be clear upfront if you're an international winner we're not gonna give you like stuff and ship it to you International shipping right now has gone up so much that I haven't even been able to ship the last prize to my buddy Carlo I mean that's how expensive it is for you guys over there I'm gonna give you guys triple-a game tiles that's right not cheap games really really good games and the latest games that are out so for you people out there who are international instead of just cutting you guys out of the picture I'm gonna keep you guys in the picture but it will be just high-end games but come on a lot of these games are 60 bucks so it's like a 60 buck Christmas gift so really no need to complain we'll start this contest up on the 14th we'll have a video about it I hope to see you guys on it I like to use Twitter I know a lot of people said to use this gleen thing or whatever but I prefer to use Twitter because I'm going to tell you this a lot of people said oh you know the people that are gonna be in there aren't going to be your fans well I go through every single one of the people that are in there and make sure that they actually have been following us on Twitter and are actually one of my audience and I feel that using Twitter is just more personal because for one thing I can reach out to you I can send you a message we can talk it's much much easier trying to get stuff away here on YouTube it's next to insane you guys see I have over half a million subscribers so just imagine if I had your pic to a half a million people to pick a winner that even programming to the computer to get a random number would be a nightmare I have to hire a full time crew to work for a month to do it so doing it through Twitter is much better for you guys as well and also if you'd like to see some stuff on Facebook again let me know down below and hey I can do something on Facebook as well right the more the merrier it is the holidays so Happy Holidays to all you folks I know there's a bunch of different religions and stuff to me it's just a great time to spend with your family try to be happy and I know there are some people and you know I'm not gonna make many names some of my friends lately at the lib overseeding stuff things are so bad there that suicide just seems to be going up so if you're feeling really bad on the holidays and feeling lonely reach out man I'm on facebook I'm on Twitter I can talk to you anytime you want like usual all the parts that we used in this system except for the video card obviously will be down below that like button so I hope you guys liked this video I thank you for following the channel next year we have all new stuff coming brand new website it's just been finished we're just plugging in all plugins I got to write a bunch of reviews again obviously to get up on there and that we have a brand new forum so coming in 2018 Tekken tomorrow is getting a whole new look whole new makeover and we're going to change up our style
