does this idling at 220 watts yes
jeebus now at the end of our pc pro
video
we told you guys that yeah it's awesome
but it lacks focus like it's not really
designed for
a single task it's a middle of the road
performer for
everything not so with the creature that
we are showing off today this
is the camino rm and it is designed for
one thing
and one thing only absolutely chewing
through video rendering it's got four
rtx 2080 ti's a threadripper cpu
and a design like nothing else i have
ever
seen before just like this segway is
like nothing you've ever seen before

to be clear i'm not saying this is a
slow machine when we put
our 32 000 pc pro up against a 33
000 mac pro it was twice as fast
in our mark bench benchmark which is
a project that we created identically in
both premiere pro
and final cut to see how fast a pc
versus a mac
could encode a video however when we
take
a more specialized machine can we beat
the mac pro by more
there's only one way to find out here we
go time remaining oh wow it's actually
not a head by that much but it is ahead
so far man this new gpu encoding in
adobe premiere really hits it doesn't it
we're seeing
gpu usage as high as 50 70. i saw 80
percent for a second there and that's
all four of the rtx 2080 ti's what's a
power draw on that
oh a cool 760 watts really that's all
that's it
huh yeah it's efficient i think a big
part of it is just that it's running a
threadripper rather than an
epic because instead of running it three
gigahertz and change boost this puppy is
boosting to
four four point four point two five
gigahertz
it's a 32 core processor it's nuts
oh and it's done oh and it's done let's
check the times
and coding time one minute 45 for the
camino
151 for the pc pro we've got a victory
now it's still pretty expensive at
around fifteen thousand dollars but
this kind of custom chassis work and the
water cooling that's inside it
does not come cheap and it still costs
about half as much as the pc pro
let's go on wow okay i was not expecting
this uh we only have one license for
solidworks visualize but apparently it's
given us a little bit of leeway on that
right now so
the purpose of this program is to take a
project that you've created
and render it in like a super cool photo
realistic way for promotional imagery so
we're gonna go ahead and take this
camaro which is
included with the program and we are
going to
output it and click right there right so
that just brings up the thing
and make sure the passes yeah make those
each a thousand a hundred thousand
passes
oh my lord enable denoiser ouch you
ready
are we gonna blow breaker alex i don't
know are they hooked up to different
breakers i'm not entirely sure
oh snap okay well the cpus are going the
gpus haven't kicked in we're at
holy we're at 300 watts
how is it even doing that it's not even
hitting those gpus or so it thinks it
must be
yeah task manager has to be confused
whoa
hey i mean why buy a space heater for
your bedroom for the winter
just pick up one of these puppies holy
crap
this is only halfway through its passes
and this one
is done it goes to show you that
if your workload just relies on raw
gpu muscle a quadro
is not going to do anything for you that
a g-force can
to put this in perspective we are twice
the performance
of our pc pro which was 36 times the
speed
of the mac pro and we're half the price
while we wait around for the pc pro to
finish let's set it to a hundred
thousand passes
let's start up the render again and have
a look
at the incredible cooling system in the
camino rm here
when i filmed my initial unboxing of
this thing on our short circuit channel
go subscribe by the way all i could
really say was
what am i even looking at here because
you got your cpu with this
crazy custom block they've designed on
it you've got a loop whose order
kind of makes no sense like it splits
out and then
half of the water goes to the cpu and
the other half goes to the four
gpus which are all in like these little
like gpu
sandwiches under the motherboard and
then you've got these
incredible shielded pci express risers
that actually run around to the
underside of the motherboard tray
leaving the top of the system
looking really clean well as it turns
out
we've been in touch with them and
they've explained every
funny thing that we noticed about the
design and it was
all with the intention of creating a
rendering and
ai just brood of a machine
that is still standalone so it doesn't
require like
a chilled air cooling system in a data
center or anything like that
and reasonably quiet so
the reason that they went with these 140
millimeter noctua ppc
3000 rpm fans is that they've got a
great combination of both
airflow moving capacity and static
pressure
so they've got this seal here on the
back so that the triple 120 millimeter
radiator
is able to get all of the air moving
through it instead of spilling out
around it
the reasoning behind the triple sfx
750 watt power supplies basically came
down
to avoiding atx power supplies because
they would have interfered with them
being able to fit the triple radiator
and also avoiding noisy redundant server
style power supplies which are
well noisy
whoa okay now we ran
this benchmark in a room temperature
room so about 22 degrees celsius 23
degrees celsius
for an hour and a half to give the
system all the time it needed to reach
equilibrium
and they managed 77 degrees at the
highest for our cpu
and a maximum of just 66 degrees
for our hottest gpu so as crazy as it
sounds initially
to split up your coolant flow uh half to
the cpu
and half to four gpus
it looks like that was the right move
the benefits of a water cooling system
like this
are twofold one is that each of these
four gpus it's crazy it only looks like
two gpus doesn't it
because they're like they're sandwiched
together each of them was turboing to
1800 megahertz during that long
intensive test
and according to camino anyway
they can be quickly and easily swapped
out for maintenance without even
draining the water cooling loop which
i'm kind of looking at going
um really because what am i even looking
at here
uh the gpus are all kind of on a tray
that comes out oh there's the security
torx there
okay well i'm a little worried that nope
that's gonna happen come on baby
come on you can do it don't be shy oh
there we go what's it stuck on you know
maybe you just need to just force it
okay i see their point but i'm also not
a hundred percent sure that i
agree with it yes you could strip the
cooler off of another 2080 ti
take that bare pcb slop it on there and
uh
in practice i think that opportunities
to change out graphics cards without
draining the loop would
be few and far between because you know
if you wanted to upgrade for example you
would obviously need to replace the
block um do you do should we pull a card
off and just have a look at the block
i'm sure okay
right now it's held on by only thermal
compound
which seems fine
fine alex just chill
oh interesting that
is a very unusual approach normally
manufacturers don't try to get the
tolerances so
tight on their copper blocks and they
use a pad for memory instead of thermal
compound and actually
you can see the wisdom of that so
there's some there's some learnings in
here for camino you can see that the
contact
between these memory chips and the block
is not actually amazing one of the
reasons for that
is that when you're mounting surface
mount bga components like these gpus
the tolerances can be a little bit off
and it's far more important you have
good contact on the gpu because these
memory chips don't actually output that
much heat
you can see their gpu contact is
excellent so what they'd probably be
better off with in a future revision of
this block
is bringing this part down just
fraction of a millimeter and then using
pads for these just like they do with
the voltage regulators and mosfets and
all that kind of stuff
we can take a moment now to appreciate
camino's pci express
daughter board riser card thing so
what's really neat about these
is they allow them with just these
skinny
rounded connectors so instead of the
like big
flat pci express extenders to take a
full
16x slot worth of bandwidth around the
motherboard around to the back of the
motherboard
tray these right here each handle 8x
worth of bandwidth so if you hook up
just one of them
you would have an 8x slot and if you
hook up the second one you've got the
full
16x bandwidth to your card which might
not be that important for gaming
but for compute applications which is
exactly what they're doing here that's
absolutely critical you want as much
bandwidth to the slot as you can get
i figured it out alex there's angled
screws down here
angled screws angled they're hiding ah
oh lordy oh whoa hey hi ho
hey how's it going is how the power
supplies come out
while i'm not sure i quite buy it on the
graphics cards power supply swaps do
appear to be
pretty much as simple as pippity poppety
modular interface screw in a new one and
you're ready to rock we are back up and
running so we're going to do our last
benchmark against our 32 000
pc this is octane bench this is a gpu
rendering benchmark
let's go ahead and have a look at our
usage here
okay they're both fast so that's nice
and a big surprise to absolutely no one
the camino rm crushinated the pc pro
with
that said as we said about the pc pro in
our original video
it's an all-rounder so if we were to run
into a situation where we were working
on a project or
a data set that was so big that we need
more than 11 gigabytes of video memory
the pc pro would absolutely pull out
ahead so this is more of a lesson in
buying the right tool for the job than
it is necessarily just
a sales pitch for the camino rm
it's a super cool machine but unless you
absolutely know you need one of these i
probably wouldn't call them up
and uh you know send them a purchase
order with that said i would
love to use this as our video rendering
server
it's freaking fast just like the speed
