13:05 Oh look, the connector that would have avoided all of the issues people have experienced with 16-pin connectors. Gotta love it when companies attempt to solve a problem of their own making.
Agree. The EPS12V connector has been proven reliable over a decade. Overclocked Intel HEDT CPU from the past hits over 1kW and 2 of these EPS12V can power them without issues at all. Unlike this new 12VHPWR connector.
@@fleurdewin7958 Exactly, it was just so stupid, if we already have a connector that is very much rated for high power use, then why not just adopt that like they did here instead of some weird single mega connector mumbo jumbo?
@@der8auer-enShould I give Seasonic another Chance. I used to use Seasonic PSUs long time ago along with Corsair which ever would fit the budget and be available. But once a Seasonic PSU failed(which happens to all brands including Corsair) due to sudden outage and took down GPU and Motherboard with it. So when we went in to claim Seasonic only replaced the PSU but did not cover GPU nor Motherboard. And that was an expensive fail(I had to cover for it). After that I stopped using Seasonic and only use Corsair as if anything fails that is attached to it due to its failure then Corsair covers the components Fully no questions asked. Seasonic sadly doesn't. At-least they dint few years ago. Did it change or do they still not cover other components besides their PSU on failure. I don't want to risk it like that anymore for my clients. I don't run business on it but do individually. So it be hard to take that kind of hit again. Reason I be even considering Seasonic is that sometimes I find decent deals on it while Corsair be either out of stock or high on price.
LOL! I didn't read the entire title and thought your cat was named Misha. I asked myself why is Roman building a WS for his cat? I really like this build; no fancy hard tubin, just plain old hoses. Nice!
I wish I was famous enough for you to build my PC.. That PC looks awesome. Sometimes all the RBG just does not let you really appreciate the machine itself.
For the GPU power connector, the reason it uses a 8 pin EPS connector rather than 2x6/8 pin PCIe connectors is that the 8 pin EPS can deliver same, if not more power than 2 PCIe power connectors. Since the A series cards are designed for workstation/server environments, Servers and proper workstation PSUs (especially ones with redundant power supplies) have additional EPS power connectors to run high power GPUs. This saves on having to have multiple cables connected a GPU when you can get away with 1 cable per GPU.
2:49 -- PCIe Gen4 SSDs are plenty a lot of the time. Gen 5 if "you have a special use case" and they do get too hot; agreed. Awesome PC build 👍 Entertaining and informative video. Kindest regards, friends and neighbours.
Will be even crazier if you design a waterblock for the motherboard, not unlike the one on the Dominus. EVGA's SR-3 was sick, no one makes these kinds of things anymore, sadly.
48T at Lower frequency vs 32T. Also 7960X's default TDP is 350W according to AMD's documents. Not sure why it doesn't use all its power, as all PPT, TDC and EDC are well below it's limits. Wouldn't be surprised if almost every OC option was disabled in UEFI by default due to the HEDT platform.
Tdp is not just a number it's a formula but intel and amd doesn't use the same still Amd i way mon efficient and what you see in hardware info is the real power draw @@WereCatStudio
@EasyMoney322 Threads don't really matter so much as performance.. the 32 threads of the threadripper have 30% more performance in total than the 48 threads of the 14900ks. And this is the lower end threadripper that you'd pretty much only get for the feature set, not for the performance. Intel just can't compete with AMD on efficiency, it's the same in server CPUs.
No need more higher clockspeed with more core u have + at least workstation will run at quad channels, but also octa channels ram. Once again this thing is decided to do not overclocking yet on this build, but still enough for the owner, even if this will overclocking average 24 cores will 350W cuz Amd is Amd (the most efficient) "low clock low power" people often choose this 24 cores
Well, it looks cool, but the sound will make you want to pee and it gets REALLY annoying after a while. I ran a rig with waterfall sort of effect once for some hours, was 10+ yrs ago, but the sound drove me nuts after not very long. It's a faint sound but it messes with you even if you play music over it. Just try it yourself, just the sound, you'll go bananas too.
Nice build! Watercooling is nice, but it immediately reveals the problem of watercooled HEDT platforms -- RAM just does not receive sufficient airflow for cooling. You reach low 70s degrees with only 2 sticks close together, so for anyone out there with a more dense RAM layout (e.g. w790 sage or dual socket MBs with 6+ DIMM slots per socket) at the very least install auxilliary RAM fans with water cooling, or better yet - consider cases with blow-through air cooling that respects RAM orientation - horizontal or "landscape" RAM for front-to-back air path and vertical or "portrait" RAM for bottom-to-top air path.
EXCELLENT WORK!!!! And it looks SOOO SLEEK!!! Just Black and Silver... NIOCE!!!! BUT... did you ever switch the RAM back to 6000??? After you had that quick issue with the RAM I noticed CPU-Z was only showing a 1:24 ratio instead of 1:30 ... I'm pretty sure you did tho... ALSO did you put the cover on the NVLink connection??? :) lol
@DerBauer Why does nobody ever use Crossflow Radiators with one port on each side of the Rad? They make the line runs so much easier and make for a much cleaner look as well, because the Rads do the job of tubes which reduces clutter and tube length.
Cross flow radiators are longer, and you need acces to both ends. For example in this build, the top radiator, for the port at the rear the fan would be in the way, and for the front radiator the port would be in the basement of the case.
"Misha needs a different more powerful system for a different project" I see he started to have a desire to play Cyberpunk on maxxed settings with RT turned on.
Sweet build, almost makes me want to build something with water cooling again, but the weight of it is too much for me. I'm building a rig right now, also a workstation, but it's aimed at being small and reasonably light, and to not look 'interesting'. Dell T5810 case, looks like any office PC, but 14core xeon, 256Gb quadchannel ECC RAM, 8Gb Quadro, and 5xM.2 SSD's on 2 pcie slot carrier boards. For a reasonably cheap and small PC tower it'll be able to run quite a few VM's at fairly good performance. I think, it's not complete enough to boot yet, heh.
I understand perfectly how you feel... I recently built a R$6000 PC for my friend and I was freaking out inside when his RGBs weren't working (it was a cable I forgot to connect)
I would be very interested to see your PC in a video like this, even if it is already assembled. It would be very interesting for me (I think, not only me) to see your review of why you chose this or that part of the computer. I appreciate your hard work and this channel. It is always informative for me and I often take into account their opinions, good luck✌🇬🇪 🇩🇪
Nice, you built this machine wisely. I. An tell, that you did the best, possible, while not wasting funds. You built it with the most bang for the buck or euro.
Oh PSU are getting up there in price these days. The 1000W version of the Prime TX is like £330, I thought my 1000W BeQuiet Dark Power 13 was pricey at £290.
I have no idea why the ATX spec went with a new connector for PCIe when they had 12v EPS already. All it does is complicate things and they way it's wired it doesn't have the same capacity. Just have one connector for motherboards and GPUs! haha
As someone that uses CAD on a daily basis (Siemens NX), these programms actually scale pretty poorly with cores. They scale only marginally with clockspeed, but scale pretty good with memory timings and Cache. Basically anything that speeds up retrieving intermediate results/latency to data because of the sequential nature of the calculations. 7960X wouldn't have been my choice, but I guess he doesn't run JUST CAD software I suppose. But if I was making a CAD machine, i'd have thrown in a 7800X3D with some fast dimms and an AMD GPU because they have much lower driver overhead. And Yes, VRAM is also very important.
EPS is superior to 12vHP in every possible way. It required unbelievable incompetence for it not to become the standard. Thank you for bringing more attention to it.
I always wonder why cinebench doesn't give you the time it takes to finish 1 test as well as a score, it would be more meaningful, it especially help in comparing different versions of cinebech.
The Pure Base series, are too small for use as a game system, from BeQuiet, I hope the Dark base has more place. It's strange, because the Pure Base FX is purely ARGB. So I ordered a Lian Li 011 Dynamic EVO XL. So I built another older system in the pure base.
The workstation cards have better blower coolers than all the gaming cards, that aluminum shell & metal backplate shows you that a blower isn't that bad when properly designed. By the way can you weight that against a RTX 2080 ti blower typer cooler, I'm pretty sure that cooler with its included shell is heavier than those on the RTX 2080 ti blowers.
