I really want this next build to be epic well then you really are going to have
to hold my beer
so this my friends is going to be the most powerful system probably I've ever
built revolving around the ROG eco systems we have the motherboard the
power supplied the cooler the graphics card the case some LED accessories and
peripherals so full out ASUS ROG fanboying over here and at the core we
have the threadRipper 2950X as 16 core 32 thread part whoo that should be
fun the lick tech 2 360 air cooler from Animax now comes in this gorgeous white
finish to give your PC a bit of character
the EF one pump delivers superior cooling performance it's both Intel and
AMD socket compatible and it features RGB lighting learn more about it down
below well well look how tables have turned huh
not long ago I made a video about ditching Ryzen going back to Intel and
that solely was because of Intel Quick Sync support that was added into Adobe
Premiere so you could utilize the Intel graphics cards on the CPU to accelerate
your render times and that was like a 2x performance increase in Adobe Premiere
which made total sense for me but my friends this is my first threadRipper
system Eber has built a few and now I'm kind of happy to be back into the AMD
world especially because they're gaining so much hype and I'm excited for the
3000 series and this would be a really good starting point to just see how
their third or the 3000 series performs in comparison to this 2950x it should
be fun now I want to be clear that while this system is insanely powerful for
Adobe Premiere it is not my razor blade 15 renders video faster than this beast
and that just shows you that Intel CPUs are still far ahead for Adobe
applications but Premiere has not been really friendly to us and lots of
crashes just all the updates break things you're not getting the things
that we want to get for an annual subscription fee or monthly subscription
fee which is why I'm moving into DaVinci Resolve 16 studio and that's been just
such a pleasure to use such refreshing program that actually utilizes the
hardware and you're not you know bald down to using Intel CPUs only and before
we do the parts breakdown which are all listed in the description below by the
way thank you very much let's do
I'm not gonna lie to you guys this is the most expensive build I've ever done
and just looking over the price list for each of those components it's just so
intimidating like the motherboard the Asus Zenith Xtreme alpha it's over $600
it's ehx it is the heaviest motherboard I've ever held in my hands it's got all
types of overclocking features it's built super well I won't be able to
utilize it because it was built to support the 32 core thread referred to
2990WX but I have the 2950X in there I just enabled the precision boost
overdrive tweak a few things here and there enable my RAM profile the XMP but
for new AMD side and just be on my way now for memory juice kill hooked us up
with 128 gigabyte kit this is my first so thank you very much it's got
beautiful RGB ambient illumination that I can sync up to the entire system
unfortunately the ryo gene 360 Miller all-in-one cooler
do not allow the all dims to be populated because the actual base plate
and the little plastic cover that goes over top of the pump it blocked the two
closest slots which means that I was only able to populate 64 gigabytes in
there but with a cooler swap that I'm expecting from Noctua for future use I
will have 128 gigabytes in total a little bit later now for the graphics
card we got the ROG Strix gaming rtx 2080 TI and that thing is absolutely insane
it comes factory overclocked those triple fans and the massive heat sink
and the RGB illumination everything is like a nice complete package I can
overclock it to 2.1 gigahertz easy and the 2.1 gigahertz an RTX 2080 TI
absolutely flies through anything now I initially mounted the GPU in the
vertical orientation using the included case bracket but as I'm adding more GPUs
down line to help with the rendering performance I did swap it out to have an
this default horizontal orientation as for power we got the rog thor 1200 watt
platinum efficiency power supply and that thing is insane it's got a screen
on the side that shows you power consumption it has addressable RGB
illumination that you can connect to the motherboard and have all that synced up
very well it's got also braided cake that I found a really cool way to
integrate around my little ROG character so they span and they kind of wrap
around him and into the graphics card and I found that a really good
integration to not only populate that sort of empty space in an otherwise
really giant case but also really cool aesthetic that highlights the cables and
secures the character in the case too and since we weren't so over killed the
last piece of the puzzle was more lighting I installed the RG or a
terminal beside the motherboard on that cable cover routed an additional
addressable RGB strip on top to highlight the cooler and give the
internal space a bit more ambient lighting
now one unique element about this whole build are the three screens that are
inside the one on the a a pump that you can customize to show your CPU voltage
your temperature is your fan speeds whatever you want you can show different
graphics as well there's the motherboard screen that shows you different codes
different temperature you can also customize that and the power supply
screen that shows you only the draw power the issue however is the lack of
cohesion between all three screens in terms of font size in terms of
animations in terms of link refresh rate even so that kind of sucks but that is a
minor complaint on an otherwise beastly rig and performance wise I'm very happy
with my DaVinci Resolve studio 16 public beta for performance wise the numbers
really do speak for themselves this is the fastest machine I've ever built
however it is not for premiere like I said earlier my razor blade exports
videos faster because of Intel Quick Sync but it looks like I'm back on Ryzen
and it wasn't that long ago when I was ditching rising going to Intel flip-flop
flip-flop but the threadRipper system is an absolute beast I feel like it's
still way too overkill for my needs even in video production yet it is faster for
DaVinci Resolve than my 9900K machine and I'm moving away from Adobe
applications because I feel like they're just slugging around their low back in
my day this is how it used to be done the venture is all feels fresh it feels
young optimization is there and that is what I want to support so what is the
future of the system you may ask well I want to downsize the
Arrowwood G Helius case for me is that a bit too large but I've done a fool of
you you can check it out over here I want to swap out the cooler so that I
can have space for 128 gigabytes of RAM in here and really want to explore
overclocking maybe 4.2 maybe higher on 8 cores and beyond motherboard definitely
allows it and the vrm cooling here is fantastic and I also want to bring this
into a research center and see what the spreader per CPU can do in terms of
compute and applications outside of the traditional video production and I'm not
going to be gaming on this thing this is not our gaming machine despite it
looking like this get a good sense of grip with Corsairs iron claw RGB Gaming
Mouse featuring a lightweight design ultra durable Emraan switches paired
with Pixar's 33 91 optical sensor and some RGB lining for some extra Flair the
iron claw ensures gaming at its best check it out down below so big thanks to
a soos for providing the parts this is not a sponsored video this is just us
having fun and experimenting and me really wanting a threadripper system so
that we can move on with our lives to explore other avenues in terms of
hardware optimizations for particular applications in our video production now
if you have any suggestions on how we can utilize the CPU properly for other
interesting tasks let us know in the comments
big thanks to Wendell from level one text for optimization troubleshooting
Talk always appreciated and yeah I'll talk to you guys in the next video
