- I'm doing it. I'm installing it. This is it. The SSD endgame. 15 gigabytes per second, 8
terabytes, PCI Express Gen4. This is the SSD that I was
waving around on stream, being like, "Oh, that's a nice SSD you've got there, PlayStation 5! Be a shame if someone came along and absolutely shrekked it." It may be four times the price of a PlayStation 5 all by itself, it may require another three
grand in additional hardware in order to utilize it properly, but I will be damned if
some PS5 is gonna come along and be faster than my PC! And this video is brought
to you by GlassWire. With GlassWire, you can instantly see current and past network activity, detect malware and block
badly behaving apps on your PC or Android device. Use offer code LINUS to

I want to make this clear: The fact that this SSD is
really fast or whatever is not a genuine knock against the PS5. The PS5 is expected to cost
somewhere between $400 and $600 for an entire gaming system,
including a high-speed SSD. By contrast, in order to
unlock the full potential of this puppy right here I
need to upgrade my gaming rig, which is already a Ryzen
3rd Gen 12-core processor. The reason for it is not necessarily that I need the extra cores, although we can talk a little
bit more about that later, but rather that I need the
extra PCI Express lanes, because this card requires a full PCI Express Gen 4 16x link
in order to reach full speed. That is the same interface
that would be used on a high-end next-generation
graphics card, and Threadripper is just
the only way to do it. Let's start with the motherboard choice. In the past, I wouldn't describe myself as an Asus diehard or anything like that, but they've definitely been my
default go-to over the years. This actually changed,
for not only this upgrade, but actually the last one as well, because Gigabyte and
Asrock are the only ones, as far as I know, that have
solutions for Thunderbolt, which is what this little
add-in card is right here, there we go, on AMD platforms. And as some of you might know, I actually run my system
in a separate room from where my monitor
and my gaming peripherals and everything are so that
I can completely isolate the noise from my rig and
not have to listen to it. So Thunderbolt is how I actually get high-speed connectivity to my computer. That makes the TRX40
Designare from Gigabyte basically the default choice for me, because it's got four 16x
PCI Express Gen 4 slots, with two of them actually
being wired up at 16x. So right there's a graphics
card, there's the storage, and then in one of these other two I'm gonna go ahead and
pop this Titan Ridge card, which has two Thunderbolt 3 ports on it for a total of 80 gigabit per second. Actually, I don't know. It
might be a single controller. I think it's a single controller.
It might be 40 combined. It's frustrating, you know? It's a generally accepted truth that Thunderbolt is flakier
on PC than it is on Mac, but the PC makers really don't
do themselves any favors. This board literally comes with that Titan Ridge Thunderbolt 3 card, but to my knowledge, the board is not actually
Intel Thunderbolt 3 certified, which is why it doesn't say Thunderbolt 3 on the box design anywhere. It just says, "Includes
40-gigabit-per-second GC-Titan Ridge add-in card." The instructions don't say
which slot to put it on, because that can actually matter. A lot of the time it's
recommended to install it in a slot that is hooked up to the chipset rather than directly to the CPU, so I'm just gonna be kind of
guessing as far as that goes. And apparently... Oh, actually, no. Okay. I think there is a cable
for it somewhere in here, it's just not mentioned
anywhere in the manual, and... (Linus laughs) Apparently this
motherboard comes with, uh, the same SSD carrier that
I was going to install. That's amusing. Enough about that. Let's go
ahead and get the CPU installed. Now, aside from the 88 lanes of PCI Express Gen 4 connectivity that 3rd Gen Ryzen Threadripper CPUs have, I also wanted to make sure that when it comes to
competing with the PS5 I'm set up to handle compressed game data. Now, in their presentation
about the SSD architecture of the PlayStation 5, Mark Cerny said that in order to get
equivalent performance to the dedicated decompression chip that they built into their custom chip you would need anywhere from, I think he said, somewhere
in the neighborhood of eight to ten Zen 2 CPU cores. So in order to make sure that I completely overkill that mark I went from 12 cores to 32 cores, so I'll be able to decompress
game data for days here. Just gotta make sure I install
this CPU correctly first. One. Then two. And then three. This is one heck of a memory
kit G.Skill sent over. Now, 3200 megahertz is not crazy-fast, but on Ryzen processors there's actually really not much benefit to
going beyond a certain speed. It's the latencies that impress me. These are graded for
14-14-14-34 at just 1.35 volts. That's really tight. I just realized this thing
only has Gigabit networking. How does that make any
sense for a Designare $600 motherboard? Now for the worst part of any upgrade: Draining the water cooling loop. This is why I knew it! I knew I shouldn't have gone hard-line. I was just like, "Well, whatever. It's been three years
between upgrades this time. I'll probably go another three years." And then I had to have a faster SSD than the PlayStation 5. This is the ultimate First
World temper tantrum. All right. Let's drain this thing. This isn't even my dumbest idea ever. (suspenseful music) Ho ho! Who's the idiot now? I gotta undo this cable tie. LTTStore.com. Oh! Hi there. Um, yeah. It's peeing on me. Okay, what if I tilted it up more? - [Crew] Andy? (Linus gasps)
Ooh, ooh, ooh! Holy! Okay, Andy! - I'm gonna hold this. Can
you lower the table, please? Hoo! Okay. Fantastic. Also, this tube appears to be empty, which means this is gonna be a cinch. Yep, I only put three
motherboard screws in. Welp. Okay then. Look at that! Hoo! How much water's left in here? Wow. None. Outstanding! So I hadn't actually checked
this before we started, but it turns out... Oh yeah. The top PCIe slot on this board is the same as the one that came out, so this run can just go
right back where it was. Just gotta give this a
little wiggly-wiggle, make sure everything's still in there. Give this a little tighty-tighten, make sure that's still in there. Ka-boom. Bam! Graphics card back in. Oh, wow. This is gonna be so much
easier than I thought. Look at this. All I've gotta do, as
long as I don't overdo it, is shave down this tube until
this lines up with that. Ah! This is how confident I am. I'm loading up the collars and
the O-rings. Like, I'm ready. Well, this was almost uneventful to the point of being boring, wasn't it? This could actually work. I'm not a huge fan of
this Corsair filling thing because the seal here's not perfect, so when you squeeze it too hard
it can make a bit of a mess, but this seems to be actually working. Check this out. Dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee.
It's a little slow. But I'm gonna try and fill
it as much as I possibly can. It's test boot time,
starting with the good news: It doesn't leak. The bad news is that I've
got an error code 60, and it's not firing it up. It appears to be, oh.
Okay, that's helpful. It appears to be a DRAM issue. It would be very unfortunate if I had to remount the CPU in the socket. I really should've tested that before I put the water
cooling back in place. Aw! I'm so upset right now. Wait a second. Are these tubes empty? I think these tubes are empty.
It's not quite full yet. Okay, I might be okay.
This might not be that bad. Ah, that's a lot of thermal compound. To be clear, this is not
something that I recommend. Well, that was bound to happen eventually. My pump is still plugged in. (Linus exhales) At least I said I didn't
recommend it. (laughs) No, no, it's fine. It's fine. It's just distilled water. It's actually gonna dry and
it will actually be fine. It's just... Thankfully, the memory was over here. My laptop escaped completely unscathed. That could've been so much worse. Theoretically, that won't happen again. Holy crap, it's not unplugged. Okay. To be clear, I don't
recommend running a CPU with no heat sink at all like this. I'm just trying to see if I get
any kind of POST whatsoever, and then I'm gonna
immediately turn it off. It does look promising. Come on, come on, come
on, come on, come on! What's this? B0! I wanna see B0. Tried mounting that 3970X
a couple more times. Keep getting POST code B0. No further time to diagnosis this, I got games to play this weekend, so I guess we're going for our 24-core, but that's okay, 'cause
that still gives me eight extraneous cores
I totally don't need to, you know, decompress PlayStation
5 games or whatever. Enough of that, then. Let's
install an SSD, shall we? The Titan Ridge card goes in here. It's got DisplayPort in on the back, so that comes straight
outta your graphics card, into the Titan Ridge Thunderbolt 3 card. That way you can actually run
displays over Thunderbolt 3. Otherwise, it's not a display adapter, so it wouldn't have any
way of outputting that. So you gotta kinda tie
that in in a kludgy way with an external cable. Got the SSD. Oh, please tell me I'm gonna
be able to get this in here. It might've been better
to put this in before. You know, I might need to pull this out. Dang it! It's like a full-height, full-length card. It's not exactly easy to get in when you've got hard-line
water cooling over it. It's so unnecessary,
everything about this. Why am I even doing this?
Actually, you know what? I'm gonna throw my other SSD in here so we can do some quick
benchmarking on this one without actually loading an OS on it. So I'm booted to my old drive.
This is my 1-terabyte SSD. And then you can actually see
each of the 2-terabyte SSDs showing up individually. That's because we need to
do some BIOS configuration before they will all be rated together. There's an internal connector
here for Thunderbolt, and I have no idea what
the purpose of it is 'cause I haven't seen this on other Thunderbolt add-in cards. But there's a USB-2 cable as well, and that, evidently, goes
into a little USB-2 header here on the back of the board. Well, it can just sit there for now. The last thing I need, and
I alluded to these before, is these little Mini DisplayPort
to DisplayPort cables. So each of these will plug into one of the DisplayPort
outputs for my graphics card and go into a DisplayPort
input on the Thunderbolt card. Like that. Comes with two. Boop! Now to configure booting to the new SSD. The first thing we need to do
is go to SATA configuration. Then NVMe RAID mode enabled. Then we gotta give it
a quick restarty-start. I also enabled Thunderbolt
while I was I was at it, 'cause I put the
Thunderbolt card in there. We manually enabled bifurcation
on our PCI Express 16x slot. Now we need to go into RAIDXpert2, which only only shows up
if you enable PCIe RAID. And we're gonna ahead and... Not do that. I'm goin' RAID 0 here, boys. I don't put any valuable data on here. It's just gonna be full
of games. Physical disks. Windows installed in
basically the normal way, and here it is, 7.21 terabytes
of usable space in Windows at PCI Express Gen 4 x16 speeds, and how Gen 4 x16 are they? Woo-hoo-hoo-ho! Wow! 13.88-gigabytes-per-second
writes and just shy of, actually, oh,
13.5-gigabytes-per-second reads, depending on the size
of the file transfer. That is absolutely freaking ridiculous. And it's actually possible
that if we just take some larger ones, like
let's do another run from 4 megs to 32 megs, here we go. Let's see how fast these puppies go. Hoo! That is somethin' else. I mean, it's really too bad
that you need so much CPU in order to just be able to process it. Mind do, you got 24 cores. It actually doesn't hit
it that hard. (laughs) Oh, man. That's it. You heard it here first. I'm never upgrading this machine again. 24 cores oughta be enough for anybody. Maybe, you know, if I need
more than 64 gigs of RAM, throw another kit of memory in there. But 8 terabytes of 12.5 to
14-gigabyte-per-second storage, I think it's fair to say that
oughta be enough for anybody. Is that, like, what?
In 10 years, 20 years? Am I gonna need more than that? - [Crew] Probably. - Oh, shut up. There's no way. I mean, we're still gonna be
working with text documents. You know? Ho. That's kind of crazy. This machine actually has the performance to do the same things the PS5 can do with texture streaming,
literally while you're rendering and moving around in the
game, and all it cost was... 10x the price? Yeah, that's not so bad. Not as bad as this segue to our sponsor. Today's video is brought
to you by Drop.com and the Sennheiser PC37X gaming headset. It features angled drivers
and an open-back design, and the drivers actually
come from the same family as the HD 598 and HD
600 series headphones. It offers excellent stereo
imaging and locational accuracy, and comes with a
noise-canceling microphone. They've sold over 40,000 of these things, and new users who sign up to the website are gonna get 20 bucks off
their purchase if it's over $50, which these headphones would be. So go check them out at the
link in the video description. If you guys enjoyed this video, maybe actually check out the old series from when we showed the
design and manufacturing of this case for my personal rig. It was a pretty fun little project. We're gonna have that
link down below as well. - [Crew] Andy? (Linus gasps)
Oh, oh, oh! Holy! Okay, Andy!
- Yeah?
My sweet little whorish Nora, I did as you told me, you dirty little girl, and pulled myself off twice when I read your letter. I am delighted to see that you do like being fucked arseways. Yes, now I can remember that night when I fucked you for so long backwards. It was the dirtiest fucking I ever gave you, darling. My prick was stuck up in you for hours, fucking in and out under your upturned rump. I felt your fat sweaty buttocks under my belly and saw your flushed face and mad eyes. At every fuck I gave you your shameless tongue come bursting out through your lips and if I gave you a bigger stronger fuck than usual fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole. It is wonderful to fuck a farting woman when every fuck drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora’s fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also. You say when I go back you will suck me off and you want me to lick your cunt, you little depraved blackguard. I hope you will surprise me some time when I am asleep dressed, steal over me with a whore’s glow in your slumbrous eyes, gently undo button after button in the fly of my trousers and gently take out your lover’s fat mickey, lap it up in your moist mouth and suck away at it till it gets fatter and stiffer and comes off in your mouth. Sometime too I shall surprise you asleep, lift up your skirts and open your hot drawers gently, then lie down gently by you and begin to lick lazily round your bush. You will begin to stir uneasily then I will lick the lips of my darling’s cunt. You will begin to groan and grunt and sigh and fart with lust in your sleep. Then I will lick up faster and faster like a ravenous dog until your cunt is a mass of slime and your body wriggling wildly. Goodnight, my little farting Nora, my dirty little fuckbird! There is one lovely word, darling, you have underlined to make me pull myself off better. Write me more about that and yourself, sweetly, dirtier, dirtier. JIM
