The FASTEST gaming PC money can buy

okay so the goals for today's video are simple goal number one build the gaming PC for the 1% the fastest off-the-shelf gaming rig that money can buy goal number two don't completely f it up like last time that's fine too [Music] so let's start with what's gonna be the same as our last attempt that you guys will never see because it was awful first a handful of you we're probably thinking to yourselves while eivin and i criticized every system integrator on the planet could you guys even do it better so we are actually going to be trying to build a system better so we're gonna be doing it together today and we are sticking with the core i9 9900 k-8 core processor we are sticking with dual GTX 2080 tird Strix cards from Asus these are the overclocked versions and we are sticking with 32 gigs of our ddr4 3200 memory we know that's not quite the fastest memory but okay that's the one thing that's not fastest give us a break so this is the dark base pro 900 we have upgraded our power supply to a 1000 watt dark pro 11 and perhaps most importantly because this was our biggest problem we have changed our motherboard instead of trying to get away with three slots of spacing between our xx atti graphics cards by the way pro tip for you guys those things run freaking hot we have gone with a motherboard that will allow us to have quad spacing and this was actually what necessitated the case change because this is one massive z3 90 board it's actually larger than standard ATX but not quite EA TX it's kind of in that in-between land what the hell is going on here is this like an OC dial yet lets you turn off your gaming to 11 it's madness how much is this thing look at it it has two regular USB threes two of the new type C ones you dot two three m dot twos that's not all of them there is X expansion card for I believe two more inside I mean I think that's their flagship and it says godlike right on it it has a quarter inch headphone jack it even has an infinity mirror up on this that's what it is oh my god okay anyway let's build a ring shall we Shh so as usual we're gonna start with our CPU so we've got a core I 999 hundred K is it the best value for gaming no is it the fastest for gaming yes there is a small asterisk we did run into some weird issues with minimum FPS with hyper-threading enabled seems to be like a window scheduler thing now round these are pretty memory slots I actually haven't used an MSI board for a buildin quite some time I think we have orange this is being covered by the heatsink pretty much entirely even CID however we do have the orange gift oh really yeah check check over here I'll check upstairs okay okay just put in white some tried and zroll for lulz oh yeah this is 4,000 pound it it's okay we're gonna go try to 0l anyway it's so far over the top oh man look at this oh I mean come on there's a certain point where once you go tackier it gets pretty you know having so much fun right now I've never had this much fun installing Ram look at this CPU cooler next n all right let's do it I think I lost the English manual but they got German in the Russian which one you want to go it looks like you're you're doing the heatsink then okay German are this fine what no but do you don't read German do you know you don't I don't even pick a Russian would take the Russian one we can see the coolly romantic brutal midok out that cooler so here goes our first m dot 2 device it's a 960 Pro I know we actually have a 970 Pro over there but like this already has an OS on it and it really doesn't make that much of a difference our second m dot 2 device is going to be a 32 gig obtained memory module to accelerate our 12 terabyte hard drive that way we can have a great big library of games well one can say theorem the to get shorter than you are screwed what no no no one is saying that with your idea to have me in the videos now I know how all the ROG rigged reboot kids felt just these jokes and these references I can't I can't take it anymore so our power supply here is 80 plus Platinum certified comes with a mostly modular interface so the one cable they have pre attached is the 24 pin ATX connector you'll probably need one of those and it uses one of be quiet very quiet fans which which one do they use on this one actually I believe it's 723 this is a silent Lynx 3 oh that's pretty nice we are jerman it is exactly 135 millimeters we don't care that everyone else calls it 140 so we need for this motherboard to eight pin connectors for our video cards we need to do late pin PCI Express connectors and then for our hard drive need a couple of SATA connectors for that so I'll grab one of these in case your stock does manufacturer's opinion aka the manual over here oh I've no I was about to actually acknowledge that and full marks for like being built like a tank but the armor is preventing me from inserting the power supply I am going to figure this out without the manual yes alright so power supply goes in here we got our nice filtered air intake for it bippity Boppity done check out the thumb screws this power supply comes with and they ship 5 just in case when is bad I guess that Ram is really tight so I'm running the dual 8 pins that we're gonna need for the top of our motherboard right now so I can run them straight up the back here that's not bad so I'm just by measuring the distance between the card hahaha what wow that is really tight but what's nice is check this out so I'm gonna bring the other one over real quick here unlike our last kick at the can we can put our second card right there giving both of them ample room to breathe I really would not want to be a PCIe 1x card installed in between these we're just finishing up a little bit of cable management here so we've got both of our fans running off of the CPU fan one connector here we're just kind of trying to tuck this man I already tried jamming it in so if I couldn't fit you obviously won't either oh that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me I think I can be happy with that you can still spend all right some motherboards going in someone used to hold the case how about you put it in the hold it so it doesn't tip over it's just really heavy get it Linus tech tips ok this is my life ok and judge man this is looking good though here's the thing I think we should actually install the upper cover because see how tight the clearances the right one I think is not fully and there's a gap oh they disconnected all right I said now is it ok cards good this thing it's like thicker than my accent all right so that's in like frickin barely this whole system is nuts so we're almost done most of the standard wiring just connecting a USB 3 header here but there's some interesting stuff about the case at the back so we've got we can have performance or silent configured along these 4 or these 4 ports we're going to go straight to performance based on our experience last time then we've also got the ability to plug in RGB for our included LED strips right here you can connect the fan controller to PWM and then you can use the included fan controller so if you move it all the way over to the left it just lets the motherboard control it and then if you move it over then you've got completely infinite control so no steps completely stepless control from either what is it 400 to 1100 or something yes and then the performance mode is like 600 to 1400 suite alright so let's do it I'm gonna the RGB connector in a single most important connector in this entire building and we're getting close here aren't we so one thing that's still left for us to install aside from our second graphics card is our hard drive now we can actually install hard drive cages in all these guys up here and they're all included with the case but frankly these two that's it under the shroud are enough for I would think most people anyway I mean who installs like seven hard drives in their systems anymore and I just rather have the cooling from these fans rather than a bunch of hard drives here especially with these graphics cards never a dull moment if you're into PC's being built okay what the hell what just I can't get this back together oh ok well that back together are you doing ok alright we are getting really friggin close here this is exciting this is where I start singing come a little bit closer baby alright here we go so this is it this is the this is the PC building money shot really when you insert the second graphics card do glue take off the protector and I did you think I knew you know in Japan have this expression that even dogs run into telephone posts where is their TX bridge because you should not fasten it all the way because remember who might have to move the cars there on your but you're right I remember in the old studio when you had like power wiring to the server's running under a faucet and it wasn't the rain disconnected yes look I'm not proud of it see this one looks a little bit like us like a Starfighter yeah like a three slot one would be fighting a dog fighting a quad slot one which one would win and video because they're just competing with itself okay that's not bad wall there okay no seriously give me a hand operator okay like I'm I'm gonna have a heart attack like see you got to respect the hardware like and he's a gem sit in there son yeah good yeah it's beautiful look at this thing I mean if you're gonna be the fastest system you might as well do it in style right oh wow I can't reach the peel yeah the tab for the peel came off but not the oh man zero zero out of ten worst peel oh come on look he's he's bitching me out about this yes because like you know you need to hear the proper building practices thank you their mother it's like every town barber right I'll make it pretty say no more fam where else do you know who carries a 24-pin are inches freakin pork at all times all right so this is it we are basically their back of the system as cable managed enough and the front looks absolutely fantastic so I'm gonna clear the desk Ivan's gonna grab our one-percenter gaming peripherals and we are pretty much ready to go okay so our keyboard isn't quite one percenter but I think this G 703 shirt will call that it's pretty alright just making sure it looks good for the moment of truth you want to hit the power button at the back so on look at that memory oh good this is like full swagger and we got a post on first attempt one can say that you've got mail get both nope aren't there ninjas fighting on that screen on the motherboard and that is the favorite part of my of this build look the dragon defeats the ninjas while freaking dabbing all right we got to close up the side panel because if we're gonna believe that this thing doesn't thermal throttle we have to actually push it can you please stop calling this machine an it okay it's a she it's a she all right stress test this is for Kings okay one ready for oh my god yeah so we're back at defaults there's just a couple things we need to do we need to change the SATA mode to raid / octane mode and we are going to enable our XMP profile to see what happens hopefully that'll work I thought friends don't let friends enable XMP profiles generally they don't but come on we put 4000 megahertz ram in here let's see if it can do it and it crashed hmm is this where I get to told you so about XMP I remember having the craziest conversation with someone from a soos when I was like yeah I hate XMP and they're like why I was like maybe why cuz it doesn't work most of the time overwhelming majority of the time it's also possible that was just some random glitch because this didn't have any hiccups so far you know there was no such thing as around the right even random number generators and what yeah here we go its Soviet Russia right it's just like you think over by K alright just just cut maybe he'll stop this is kind of incredible man like I think I've seen one or two dips below 60fps a guy I've never seen this benchmark run this smoothly so we're gonna get the score any moment now and the goal is that this is the PC for the 1% it's over 10k over 10k well over 10k what no oku pius alive 98 the 2% there's probably a little more we can do here let's go increase our power limit to 125 I think this core is good for about plus a hundred or so what's it we had a profile Oh before oh yeah there's our profile let's try again to try again 2% you know that one graphics card in there is worth more than my entire PC setup did you know that one graphics card in there is worth more than my entire PC setup this is looking higher and no crash yet and we just broke 11,000 time to compare online show me that 1% baby here 98% come on okay what if you boosted the CPU clocks a little bit behind you guys make a difference on this simulation all right all right all right all right let's do it okay so we're going to 4.8 gigahertz we're gonna try and keep our memory at 3,600 and that's a lot of things to change in one go open up all settings we reset to default values goodbye extreme memory profile hello maybe gonna boot we are now running at 4.8 gigahertz locked across the course across all course let's fire up the CPU z [Music] all right here we go those lights time temps still very comfortable that was like 11 point oh come on well I'm not expecting this to be any better because why would you but whatever there it is 98 okay fine we'll push your last 15 megahertz here and see if that makes the difference if this doesn't do it we don't have a lot left in the tank what 30 more points or something I doubt that's gonna be the difference here and it isn't now let's try some actual games shall we so what do you think shadow the Tomb Raider graphics oh trap with motion blur off 4k 120 Hertz s maa let's see where we end up here before that though I'd like to share a computer joke with you what happened to the PC enthusiast whose side panel got all scratched up he lost his temper I don't get it damn that's smooth we might just have to run the benchmark though but like holy crap I just noticed the oppressors playing graphics you got going what the hell oh whoa okay never mind yeah you can what 4k and this is fully maxed out with except no motion blur because most are bad yes I don't think I've ever seen a counter break two digits I'm holy here I feel all sacks that is unreal no this is a tomb raider what do you see that cracked 200 F not for long but we cracked 200 FPS for a sec there I've never been so enraptured by this benchmark run and they're up tchard yeah it's a wood yes oh well no that's not no no that wasn't my okay I wasn't I wasn't making jokes I was I was serious it feels like this is unreal and 28 FPS at 4k I mean this makes me feel a little better about you know not being in the 1% with you mark and what's really cool about this is that we actually did experience reasonable like not amazing but reasonable sli scaling across a variety of titles so once you're cranking it up 4k ultra you've got your envy link bridge dual r-tx 20 ATT eyes yeah it's a gaming experience unlike any other it was still a lot of fun to build something that slab engineering in our defense though we knew that wasn't gonna stay there we did again okay so we didn't achieve our goal top 1% 3d mark times by extreme but it was still a lot of fun just being hands-on with just experiencing the best of the best of what exists today this is an absolutely phenomenal machine even if it's only on the top 2 percent of times by extreme and something to bear in mind is that the top 2 percent of times by extreme is well within the top 1 percent worldwide anyway so that's what I'm gonna tell myself to make myself feel better so a big thank you to be quiet for sponsoring this endeavor we learned a lot like that you definitely need the additional spacing between r-tx 20 ATT eyes so that was fun and thanks to you guys for watching if you guys dislikes this video you can hit that button but you know I'm gonna know you jelly right and if you liked it hit
