Hey, everyone!
Today I'm gonna tell you the story of my life, the part associated with computers
starting with the heavy psychological trauma I received in 198-Hell knows what year
all the way through the rest of my PCs that have been haunting me my whole life,
thanks to which I got a huge number of wasted dead hours, months, maybe even years.
But computer knowledge and correct utilisation eventually helped me create LOUD SOUND,
Those who love to blow the commercial whistle, you're welcome to pass by.
I did this review not 'cuz the guys with Hyper PC built a computer for me.
Actually, they built it specifically for this review.
The story I'm gonna tell will help you understand what this computer is to me now.
If you don't want the story and want to learn about this very computer,
jump to this timing. But I recommend you do listen to it.
I think it might be interesting for the young to learn how their ancestors studied computers.
The older peeps might find it nostalgic,
the LOUD SOUND fans may learn some more about how I came to creating LOUD SOUND.
For sure, there's gonna be a lot for haters to hate.
Welcome to the comments. Actually, nothing's holding you from starting now.
And here's an idea for your creative writing -
this, guys, is /the/ best PC among all the Russian YouTube bloggers.
If you agree with me, state it in the comments.
If you don't, write which bloggers have better PCs, whom I should pay attenntion to.
Whose is better aesthetically,
whose is better balanced,
and whose working space is organized in a better way. Let's go!
My first psychological trauma was, definitely, Karateka.
It was a 1984 - 85, 86? - game, I don't remember the release year.
I can still remember like it was yesterday --
you know those childhood memories when you remember nothing,
but some scenes are there, bright and detailed.
My dad who left this world in 1990, may he rest in peace,
soldered a lot, fixed electronics, video and audio devices, TVs, VHS players started to conquer the market.
Elektronika VM-12.
I remember that night so well, down to the last pixel.
I remember those Space Invaders running on the screen,
Remember that Alley Cat getting punched regularly,
and, of course, there was Karateka.
It just rocked my world.
The computer wasn't brought in for fun, it was brought in for work or something.
And there was a printer with it!
So I was one lucky boy - I got printed shots from that game.
They weren't just a relic for me. I literally kept them under my blanket.
I was - what? - 8? 9? 10? I don't remember, somewhere around that.
I didn't pray for them, but I did dream when I would get to play that wonder again.
I mean, you gotta understand that in the 1980's, for a kid under 10
a computer really was a psychological trauma.
Because it was like... Dunno, if aliens brought some new device down to Earth
one that you have no clue about how it operates.
I mean, I could control what was happening on the screen!
Plus that hypnotizing sound of a 5.25" Floppy disc being read,
that long booting, those loadings, those lines on the screen,
that incomprehendable stuff. The OC was MS Dos already, I think.
That was like this bright flash in my very childhood.
After that, we had a ZX Spectrum, they'd sometimes call it Sinclair.
That sound of games loading off magnetic tape, cassettes is imprinted in my memory forever.
People would gather up near a loading game. It could take a minute of 5 minutes.
And everyone would hold their breath and stand motionless, 'cuz if you, say, pushed the table,
the loading got interrupted, and you had to start over.
The loading was pretty random. One time it would load, next time it wouldn't.
You had to scroll the tape back and restart the loading.
The joystick had one button or two, I don't really remember.
There was an Atari at our home, too - came in for some time.
Gotta give my father the credit, for the '80s, he did the impossible thing,
I don't know if it was good or bad, but he got me hooked up on computers.
I'll tell you in a sec why it could've been bad.
There was a darker page in my life connected with computers.
Then my dad passed, and I didn't hear nor see computers at home,
but in my school - can you imagine? In a school! -
I can't even imagine something like that happening today -
On the side of the Schoo №76 where I studied, there opened a computer club.
You could play there for money.
And there was no money back then.
You would save up for, like, 5-10 mins.
That was some sort of elite high, unaffordable, in really small dosages.
The computers were BK 0010-01.
The oldies might have shed a tear when they heard the word.
It also operated magnetic cassettes and had a one- or two-button controller.
Later, the console era began.
First Dendies started to appear. Original ones. You couldn't find local knock-offs.
It wasn't until later that they flooded the whole market.
But at the beginning, there was the original Dendy, with the little elephant.
It was a very serious thing, a serious purchase.
If you had one of those at home you automatically got a bunch of new friends
'cuz, dunno, there were maybe 1 or 2 people in a few buildnigs who had a console.
The first console I ever played was the one my friend Roman owned.
Btw, we're opening an affiliation in Saint-Petersburg together with him. He owns it.
We would play four hours, for days. I would skip school and go to his place.
We played a lot. Later there was Sega. Later I got a Dendy myself, and then a Sega, too.
The psychological trauma of the '80s played its part. That was my fave high.
I mean, I did like to jump over the roofs or hanging around backyards and garages and stuff.
I don't know how we survived back then. But it's a different story.
Then there was Play Station 1, and around 1995-1996, PC made its way back into my life.
There was a guy in my building and one next door who had PCs.
I would hang out there for hours.
I would come to 'have a quick play'.
And for those 'quickies' I played Warcraft, Red Alert.
And it was then that I really craved a PC.
By grandpa bought one for me when I entered the university.
I think it was 1996. Those were 2 years lost.
I literally turned into a super-nerd.
I finally got my hands on my dream. It was something really special for me.
Those were CDs with an awful lot of games, of various software,
I was sucking it all in, it was extremely intersting for me.
I installed Windows 3.1 for the first time - before that everyone would work in MS Dos.
And, well, the outside was basically Norton Commander or DOS Navigator
There was a command line, and all we needed we either wrote in that command line,
or we would use this -- what later evoled to be a file manager.
Initially, that was the interface.
My PC was the 486 DX 4100,
It had 4 MB of operative memory.
MEGAbites. Think about it - MEGA bites.
The operative memory would only be able to load and process one photo
you take with your phones now. It would take all the space.
The hard drive was 1 Gb. You would take it along to people and record stuff on it.
It once failed, and there were only 100 MB left
So I existed within those 100 MB.
I had Windows there. Back then it was Windows 95.
There was Quake. And if I needed to install anything else, I'd delete Quake and install what I need.
The iniformation was stored on a huge number of 3.5" Floppy discs.
There were really many of them, and they all had inscriptions.
I got a modem a bit later. And that was another psychological trauma.
My teenage brain realized there was some network
that united millions of people all around the world.
And there is a huge amount - inspeakably huge - of iniformation to download.
When I first got Internet at home, I would download anything and everything.
I simply loved the fact of having something that came from the Net on my computer.
It may sound wild today. Today Internet is mundane, like electricity.
I admired the Internet.
It was a 2400 bis modem, and it was dial-up, so it connected to the telephone network.
And if your modem was on, your landline was off.
It was a constant battle for the landline.
There was also this thing called FidoNET.
Oldies must be wiping off their tears now.
It was the first - dunno, a messenger, a forum, an e-mail service?
It was everything at once.
There were the so-caled Nods and Points.
Nods would consolidate the information from Points and exchange it among each other.
The interface was pretty simple.
You could write a letter to every Point, or address them on some general forum.
I can't remeber any of those forums' names. Please, write them in the coments, if you do.
[ECHO-CONFERENCE] It was something like interest groups.
I was subscribed to RuGameDoom. It was during my Doom days.
Mousers vs. keyboarders. Lots of feuds like that were on FidoNET.
Doom keyboarders from Kyiv would meet Moscow's mousers.
Please, let me know. if you can relate to all this.
It would be really interesting to find someone like that.
I don't know anyone who used FidoNET or played Doom professionally.
Then there was Quake 1.
Yet another psychological trauma.
It was the first game to use 3D-models instead of sprites.
My PC, for sure, couldn't play up that sort of graphics.
15 fps was a good count for that time,
but for that, you'd need to cancel half the game from your console.
I started coding. I even got into the Game.exe magazine.
They wrote about my addon for Quake.
I was a hardcore nerd back then.
Then there was Team Fortress, and I was lost.
The first Team Fortress on the Quake engine,
The Valve guys knew better and took both TF and CS for themselves.
The first user addons created back then were all made based on the Quake 1 engine.
All of what you see now.
Valve had it all on Quake.
Pings would vary a lot. You could play with a 1000 ping or 1500.
Not much liberty there. Sometimes you just got to play as a spy.
Your ping would be enough to see the victim, press the button, stab them in the back,'
and a few seconds later you'd find out if your victim saw you before you got to kill them.
A year after that I realized I had developed an addiction sitting in front of my PC 24/7.
I realized that after one of my breaks.
I mean, the university would somehow pull me out of that virtual reality,
while during the break, I completely reset to a night regime,
I went to sleep at 10 in the morning and woke up at 5 in the evening.
And at night, I'd either play or work - I mean, I'd code.
Or chat in FidoNET.
Once I realized I'd gotten addicted I instantly sold my computer.
I made a hard decision. And blew that money, I think on a trip to the seaside.
I started living a normal life, joined a boxing club.
Before that, I had done karate but I dumped it 'cuz of the computer.
I mean, really, my PC took off a year or more of my life back then.
Later on I figured those years did npt all go in vain.
What I got to learn over that time came in very handy later in life.
There still was something similar to a substance addiction.
Because I remember the trembling in my heart when I watched the first gaming TV shows.
They showed new games, and I knew that the gaming industry was going further
but I would hold up, and I didn't buy any PC.
That period wasn't for too long. In about 1998 I got a job at a computer clun.
Like the rapper Noggano says, I don't like drugs. Drugs like me.
I was just standing at a bus stop when I saw a new computer club across the street.
It was called Bomba ('The Bomb').
I dropped by to play. I paid money and sat down for a bit of Quake.
The owner freaked out, said, I didn't anyone could play this game like that!
Well, I put up a little performance. I started jumping around, doing cool tricks,
I talked to the owner, he figured out I was good with computers.
The club had been open for a couple of days, so the owner offered me a job there.
And so, instead of one PC I got a network of eight, with night access.
And then a rough computer spree began.
We got together at night to play. In the daytime, I'd sleep and kids would load games for me.
The computer club operated itself, and at night, we would smoke and play, play and smoke.
We smoked a lot and played a lot.
Quake 2, the first Celerons. It was the time Half-Life came out.
They called it a revolution in 3D-gaming
like ID Software revolutionized gaming with Wolfenstein
when they introduced 3D space,
and later with Doom when they enabled vertical movement in the 3D space.
Then there was Quake - the first game with 3D models.
And Half-Life demonstrated us that games can have unreal interaction with the surrounding reality.
They can be with a plot and an atmosphere.
Half-Life was a milestone. We didn't realize then that it would also be an engine for a load of games.
Those were, actually, happy and careless days.
There were boys who'd run to get some soda and cookies for us,
some boys would load games.
When no one came in, we played ourselves and stayed overnight.
I had the key to the club.
The owner didn't mind that we stayed overnight there.
I mean, 8 computers were quite the nice thing, and guys from the 'hood often asked for some help there
I protected the owner as much as I could.
If I'm not mistaken, the club never got robbed, even after I stopped working there.
But back then, the owner didn't mind particularly 'cuz someone was keeping an eye on PCs.
And then I got a job at the freaking helo factory.
I received 1100 rub monthly which was sad. I was in the computer dept.
I think it was called Automatized Control Systems or something.
There was a load of PCs there, and a bunch of terribly unmotivated folks
staring at those PCs' screens all day long.
My job was to transfer information from paper media to electronic ones.
I did my daily job in about a couple of hours, and then I was free to play the rest of the day.
The PCs were crappy. I mean, really crappy.
They were ancient. Sure, after The Bomb,
it was really sad to watch. And so were all those unmotivated people
performing crappy tasks on crappy PCs.
Then came hard years of heavy work in the tobacco industry.
I'm gonna skip that time. Then I married for the first time.
And then the first home PC was purchased by the adult Alex
who didn't have that gaming addiction anymore,
for whom computers are of help.
At that time, I got a PC specifically for work.
Then there was Underground. The very first Need for Speed: Underground.
Then there was Far Cry and a long list of other games.
By then, my PC was pretty powerful. However, it was not enough, either.
All the previous PCs I've mentioned so far - all of them lacked something.
One of the features of this computer - I'll get there in a little while -
it is ahead of its time.
This is my first PC in 30 years that is more powerful
than it needs to be to do almost anything I'd wanna do with it.
Back then, it was probably the period of the fastest PC industry development.
New hardware would come out fast, the video card race started,
You buy one, and there's instantly a new one that's more powerful,
and there's a new video game that demands one more video card,
Eventually, my PC started collecting dust in the corner,
because it couldn't run new games, and the old ones I didn't want to play.
And I guess I started another computer-less period of my life.
However, by that time I'd started working at Phillip Morris,
they gave me an extremely expensive Dell with a turnable touch-screen.
It was anti-shock and cost an awful load of money.
But you could do nothing with it.
Then there were the first jokes with.. well, with the first jokes.
People would send each other fun videos from the Internet,
same thing going on in WhatsApp nowadays.
Oh, look, someone fell down! Ah, check this out! This guy blew up!
And then there was xBox.
I never liked those consoles. Those controllers, constant fingerjobbing.
Scooch over. - No, you scooch over.
Like a robot. All that crap. I've never loved consoles.
Only for a couple of games.
I got bored with the console and initiated my cunning plan on building a powerful gaming PC.
I starter building a PC using open architecture,
and I did it step by step.
I purchased - after a thorough analysis - various pieces of hardware.
I bought a processor which laid there for a while, then, a video card, then a motherboard.
I couldn't buy the whole PC. It cost a fortune back then.
I saved up and I bought parts.
A Core 2 Duo GTX, I think it was 8800.
Some people would call it a heater.
It would heat up so much Hell's flame wouldn't feel so hot after it.
The first video I ever made I made on that very computer.
You can check it out on the channel. It was about a Lada Niva.
I installed some editor, took the photos from the National Finals in 2009,
and made a short slide show with music in the background.
It was the first video I really put together.
Later I got divorced, and there was another period of hardcore PC-ing.
I would work and play games, play games and work. Yeah, that happened, too.
Back then, I lashed out and got myself a hobby.
Well, I had a nice job. And many people settle down at this stage.
I worked at Mars back then. I had social security, I had a company Ford Focus.
But I started freaking out that I was stagnating again.
It's actually a good thing - they call it healthy unsatisfaction -
when you constantly feel like you have some more to work for,
you feel like you've got more to do, like someone's achieving better things.
And you wonder why you didn't.
Unless you comfort yourself by saying it's all Putin's fault
or say 'I don't have a sponsor dad', but instead, yuo ask yourself the question,
Maybe I shouldn't sit tight on my butt playing games and rather go and do something?
That was the moment the idea of LOUD SOUND was born.
I sold the PC, took a serious swing on my work,
and - apart from work - I started creating LOUD SOUND.
I created my first online-shop. It was on a different domain back then.
In the future when I cover the story of LOUD SOUND
I think I'll cover all of that. I'll tell you how the loudsound.ru domain was bought,
how I started making loudsound.su, and, well, the rest of it.
How I added each lot manually.
After I got hold of social media and opened my own shop, I still worked at Mars
A bit later I quit simply 'cuz I couldn't both do business and work.
I had to choose. So, with the pain in my heart, I handed the Ford Focus over,
gave up the unlimited gas card,
well, I pretty much gave up the feeding boobie.
I was left alone. You need gas? Go buy it yourself with your own money.
You wanna go somewhere? Go buy your own car.
The LOUD SOUND channel had already been created.
And I did edit videos, which took major pains. I used my company computer for it.
That very Dell laptop, older than the dinosaurs.
It was sad as hell. I'd leave it to render overnight,
and in the morning I'd wake up to see it had crashed over some error.
So I would restart rendering, then I'd search the extracts that'd crushed the process.
I'd come up with cooling media. It was pretty hard, the hardware wouldn't do it.
Later, I bought a DNS Home laptop. It was 100 times more powerful.
Then I outgrew that one and bought a DNS Extreme with an i7 and a gaming video card.
I outgrew that one, too. And then I started building a PC to make LOUD SOUND videos.
So, the priority shifted from gaming. I wanted a powerful processor, a nice video card,
I wanted a nice rendering capacity and a good preview speed.
Actually, it's crucial. When you edit video,
your editor grabs pieces from different video files,
and generates you a preview of what you've compiled so far.
And it's all done in real time, so you need a powerful computer for that.
A powerful Pc like that cost ₽120,000 in pre-crisis pricing.
i7-4790, a 780 TI, a 27" Dell monitor with an IPS matrix,
crazy expensive. Plus quite a stylish case.
And it was then when people started to ask me to show my PC, my build.
It's been - what? - about 3 years, and I've been aspiring to make this video.
See how serious the backstory's been.
We're coming to this one, too.
The PC was powerful and looked quite nice to me back then.
And that was the PC that delivered most of the LOUD SOUND videos.
FYI, there are about 1000 videos on the LOUD SOUND channel now.
800 or 900.
Considering the second channel and the unpublished videos,
I've long crossed the threshold of 1000 videos shot and produced by myself.
1000 videos. And most of them were processed by that PC on 780 TI.
And then there was an upgrade. An MSI motherboard, more memory,
a 6850K processor, and 2 video carsd 1080 TI.
And back then, I took a look at this computer, I saw it light up, and I thoguht it was time for this review.
I skipped Play Station 3. Did it on purpose.
There's not much to tell except for, maybe, The Last of Us and GTA V.
The Last of Us was the reason I bought Play Station 3.
I recommend that game. It really is worth buying a console over.
The developers are a bunch of dicks, tho. They only created the game for that console,
and you have to buy the console. I didn't want to buy a PS3.
Play Station is a money scam.
I wondered what two 1080 TI cards were capable of,
so I bought a 4K screen, 3440x1440
Nice response time,100 Hz. Top complectation. Well, almost top.
You can get one with over 100 Hz, and with a slightly better response time.
But in other respects the screen is... Yeh, and the matrix is not API.
And at this moment I realized that I managed to build a computer
that finally, after all these years, was faster than the software installed on it.
For my whole life, I've watched a PC, the one I had or the one I played on,
trying to catch up with the software. The hardware was always behind the new software.
They produce some superb hardware, some SLI technology stuff,
and there comes Metro 2033 or Crisis comes out.
I mean, there has always been something that is more powerful than your gaming PC.
This hardware, I don't know how to load it. Well, yeah, I turn on Battlefield, all at max, 200%
and then it kinda goes down, but that, I think, is pampering.
Thus, for the first time in 30 years I built a computer that is too powerful,
more powerful than any task I might consider doing with it.
And this was the moment I thought of showing you the computer.
All I had left was to give it a nice facelift. So I contacted the guys with Hyper PC.
I asked them to make it look nice for the review.
And now you're watching the review for which they gave my PC a bit of a makeover.
Well, this is what my study looks like. It occupies the balcony.
It's not huge but it's cozy.
You can put on a movie and watch it over here on the couch,
stretching your legs out onto the chai or the windowsill.
The sill is brought down, and the view is amazing, really inspiring.
It gets unreal at the dawn.
Sometimes, dusk light gets reflected off some glossy surfaces,
and it all gets lit up with this orangy-red aurora. Beautiful.
Sometimes you can see different weather to the right and to the left.
It covers a huge portion of the sky.
And sometimes it rains to the left. Even now you can see it's cloudier there.
To the right, there are less clouds. You can see the shadow coating the city.
I have some tiles here, natural stone here.
I don't know what kind of stone this is or where they slid it off. But it is stone.
This is just a painted brick wall.
This is just a painted wall, with interfacing.
And the pinnacle of the study is, I think you all know what it is.
It's Basik.
I still haven't figured out what pictures to put up that wall
so there are my daughter's drawings and YouTube's Silver Button.
Here's the original Basik. He lost the LS from his hat. Gotta glue it back on.
Let's turn on the PC, right. First I'll show you the way the case mirrors.
It's really amazing. I might get lost there.
Let's go one by one. And we'l start with the case.
It's Cooler Master Cosmos.
The title isn't there for nothing. It does look out of this world.
Really futuristic. My god, it's quality!
Comprises metal and glass.
You can see the glass is tanned.
The wire layings are incredible here.
You can see no wires, and it was one of the requests I've posed with the guys.
They asked if I had any specific preferences, and I said I didn't like wiring arrangement in my PC.
Now, from this angle, you can see a teeny notch of the feed cable,
and that's it.
It loks like a separate case with no sight of wires.
Like the Hyper PC guys joked, those are wireless wires.
Once we turn on the CPU, we instantly see magic.
The magic of the Aurora cooling liquid.
It's a liquid infused with metallic particles.
The light reflecting off those metallic particles allows you to see the flow of the liquid.
It really is an amazing picture. You could get sucked in for hours.
It never ceases to impress me, every time I turn my computer on.
You can see it even through the tanned glass.
When I turn off the PC... this kind of magic happens.
This is called Aura.
The motherboard is Asus ROG X299.
It also reflects off the liquid emitting multi-color radiance.
It also looks dope, and you can also see it through the tanned glass.
This motherboard was a great surprise. Now I need to say a few words about my ex.
Instead of an MSI X99 Titanium - there's a more expensive edition with a higher memory frequency
but this one was the pre-top one, I think. Well, it ate my brain alive.
The USB is 3.0 one time, next time it's not, and no driver got me the quick charging thing.
You plug in a device, it says Driver Error but the device works perfectly.
USB Type C was just a garment there.
I plugged my Samsung with a Type C wire. It started charging, then it failed...
20 secs before bootlog loading.
That MSI f*cked my brain so hard back then!
As much as I hated that MSI, just as much I enjoy all the same things realized here in such a great way.
All the USB ports on the front panel are 3.0
And get this - a 3.0 thumb drive pumps 150 MB - not megabit, megabite! - per sec.
I've never seen it. I never knew USB drives can even work that fast.
All the USB ports here work perfectly well.
The liquid here is not just pretty, but also very functional.
For my convenience, the guys installed a temperature detector here.
I can always see the water temp.
When gaming, the video cards are, if I remember it correctly, 55°C (131°F),
and the liquid is 45°C (113°F)
And when rendering, the water is 47-50°C (115-122°F) and the processor is 65-72°C (150-160°F)
I pulled the PC out for easier access.
And here we can track the wires through the rear lid.
The upper lid comes off easily,
and here we see one of the things done on my request.
To arrange the wires in this specific way, they rotated the motherboard.
So, this is the rear part which regular people have over here.
Mine is rotated back to the upside.
and the whole wiring scheme here is super convenient.
See, I can plug in and out anyhing I want without having to reach all the way back.
Guys made me a temporary port here so that I can migrate the info from my old hard drives.
There's a Type C here, a real one, one that really works.
And it does, actually, charge the phone pretty quickly.
Quick Charge doesn't work here. First it says Quick Charge, then it goes back to regular.
The charging time, though, is almost the same as quick charge.
This wire is for data transferring. There's also Samsung's wireless charger.
It's pretty quick. You just need to rest your phone here.
Here. It reads Quick Wireless Charging.
It's not as quick as it would be with wires, but it is very convenient.
You come to work, put your phone there, and it's charging.
The motherboard wiring is lead out in an interesting manner, too.
Everything is amazing in this case. Everything is thought of.
Here, the wires are lead through a rubber spacer, to the outside,
where they are hidden under this panel which, again is not rock-solid but holds on magnets.
Here are the magnets. So it just goes there covering the wires.
And this is how they are arranged here. This side is more convenient. Here.
You can lead 'em out from either side.
And here is the power cable lead to the power outlet.
So, the wiring is really well hidden.
There are some flaws, tho. Could've used a few more holes.
If I have a few more wires here, this lid would come right off.
This hole si too small for ir.
And my hub's USB I plugged here.
The hun is behind the screen. There are 10 more ports.
On the front panel, there's the button switching the cooler modes.
Everything is carries outh through BiOS. Here is the lighting mode switch.
You can pick a color or set it to change colors in cycles.
Of you can set it via the motherboard.
Behind this lid, there's a duster which comes off easily.
If the temp is too high in the case, you can open this letting the radiator breathe.
The case is really awesome, really pretty, really functional, really convenient.
There's only one drawback - it's heavy AF.
Well, it is a one-time thing, but we brought it in, two of us.
It's really heavy to lift alone.
It really is a very heavy device.
The memory is 32 GB Hyper X Predator,
A similar Hyper X Predator SSD N2 is hiding behind one of the video cards.
It's hard to see but we'll try our best.
It also has aggressive cooling.
The motherboard, like I said, has this Aura lighting.
There is a wide variety of lighting zones. You can light up this thing - it only has 6 zones,
you can light up the bridge separately, he case separately,
you can set additional RGB lighting contours, set the LED number and control them.
In this respect, everything is carried out in a really cool way.
My old SSD N2 by Samsung the guys kept here,
It's 250. Very fast. I mainly use it for work.
And a storage for large bulks of data - here are the two Seagate Barracudas.
Well, let's say it's sufficient.
One of them I loaded up at 4 TB, and a bit more of he other one.
And I have some surplus. For that, I've used two 3-TB and a 1-TB discs.
Plus two SSDs, plus this SSD N2. So, I had quite a few drives,
and it was pretty troublesome tryina find something there.
And there are two 1080 TI by Asus are installed in there.
I used to have Gigabites, we've replaced them with Asus.
Processor Core i9 7900x with 10 cores.
It gave a notable boost in work and rendering.
The soundcard Essence STX II by Asus was also installed.
And I didn't regret it for a second. If you noted, my lamp amp is off for now.
For now, the card is fine. I've decided to listen to the sound with no amp for now.
Headphones are Sennheiser HD600
The impedance is 300 Ohms which means they are very demanding
of your sound card's or amp's power.
I used to have Xonar U7. Didn't pull off. Before that, I tried them off the MSI motherboard.
It lacked the power to pump it up - the sound was too quiet and weak.
I haven't tried them with this motherboard. This one has some advanced sound card built in.
I can't say this STX II can pull it off 100%. I do feel like I need my lamp amp.
But there is no discomfort. The speakers do work, no excessive volume,
I can't load 'em up hard.
I have a video in my Instagram where I pulled this lamp amp into these headphones.
The membranes flexed hard there. They get to a rather long drive.
This amp can actually burn the phones. It's 2-Watt, if I'm not mistaken.
But what's the impedance for this claim - I don't know. Maybe 64 Ohm, or even 300.
This is a hand-made lamp amp. There's a guy in Rostov that makes those.
The amp plays quite nicely. It does emit rather gruesome discrepancies when very loud,
but at medium volume, it's perfect for speakers like these, like professional ones or 300-Ohm ones.
It ca pump them up.
I loved the card settings, too. I used to have pain in that respect.
With the Xonar U7 or the MSI motherboard, it was always a trouble to set the audio.
I set and re-set. The equalizers suck there hard, man.
So do the delays, and boosters, compensators etc.
I hate setting all that crap on a PC. Now I'm taking it easy. What's done is done.
This all barely emits any interferences.
When you're in complete silence editing a video, with half the computer loaded AF,
that might cause some whispering, really quiet. Nothing critical, though.
I haven't tried it with the amps. I will soon. No discomfort so far.
It's not good when too loud but at regular volume, it's great.
For a screen I have this AOC.
It's a 35" gaming screen, curved. I used to not understand why you'd need a curved screen.
Now I clearly do.
When you have a screen this big, the center point is closer to you than the periphery.
So they push the edges towards you, so that you see the picture as even as it gets.
Switching back to an flat screen after this one may be fun.
The picture seems spheric.
It really sucks. You get used to the curve. I tried my former 27". Really sucks.
The only thing I didn't like about this screen was color rendition, after an IPS matrix.
It's okay for games and video
but if you work with color correction, photo, video, lightroom, photoshop,
and video editors, I'd say you better get an IPS. This one is better for gaming
But if you want the ultimate settings, I think I only saw two models, by Asus and by Acer.
Asus Rog Swift, I think.
But that one would cost over 100k. Same parameters, but the matrix is not EVA but IPS.
The keyboard. I got shamed in the comments that with a top PC like this,
I still use some trashy keyboard for $10.
In fact, Oklicj - and the ones before that -- I've always preferred the cheapest keyboards.
I type lightspeed fast on them anyway. Poured coffee on it - no big deal. Replace.
Too dirty - no big deal. Replace it.
This is my first mechanical keyboard that I decided to try at home
because at demo-stands, I'd come up, and this crap always pissed me off.
But I studied them, cherry, red, brown, black, blue etc.
This one is Brown. I thought it was the golden mean.
You know what? I got used to it. There is this bug with the Ctrl button.
My hand sometimes falls on it, and it works halfway down.
And sometimes my hand rests here on the Ctrl.
That's it. The keyboard is really convenient. I switched to it really quickly.
Took me a few hours.
Gotta praise this mouse. This is my third mouse of the kind.
The first one was wired, then I got a wireless one.
One of the buttons died, so I bought this one. The price is 2000 rub.
This is one Bloody R7
I think it's A4Tech. They used to write the brand, now they don't. It just says Bloody.
But I think that's the brand.
The mouse is incredible! Super-convenient!
There is a tiny flaw, tho. Well, for some gamers it might be more like a death penalty.
But it does freeze for a sec or so every once in a while.
You lead it, and then it freezes.
It's very rare, but you still may get killed in, say, CS.
I've never found it disturbing. It lies perfectly in my hand.
I decided to replace it 'cuz it started sticking. That's it.
The coating simply wore down heavily.
And now it's unpleasant to touch. Dunno, it's a year old, maybe more.
Well, it's seen its share.
This is the mouse I'm expecting to be delivered by DNS.
They said it arrives in 4 days. Seems like a top-notch piece.
But there is some negative feedback. They say it's too big and too heavy.
Well, I'll try. This is pretty much it in terms of the hardware.
Let's now switch to how this all operates.
I edit my videos in Sony Vegas. People often ask me what software I use.
Pointless to write. I reply in the comments, and there are still 10 more people to ask.
Well, if you can understand it you're gonna.
It's a really nice and fast program with some great hotkeys.
Buggy AF, fails a lot. Very demanding of the hardware.
A long list of pros, and a long list of cons.
I'm used to this one. I know that FinalCut is better, and so is Adobe.
Some are used to Adobe. I couldn't reset myself to it.
It's just inconvenient. Ergonomically inconvenient to me.
FinalCut is great, too. But I don't really feel like migrating into the Apple ecosystem.
Having a Mac and not having everything else by Apple would be a pretty dumb choice.
I don't mean to be offensive now, but as for me, purchasing an iMac
is not... well, let's say, It's not the wisest decision out there.
You need to be an enthusiast and to understand clearly what you need it for.
Most of you must be dying to see how this wonder runs games.
I have Far Cry 5 here for you. I recommend the game,
but, well, it's an acquired taste. I have acquired it.
I finished it, completed a lot of additional missions.
Even went back for the outposts.
I have Far Cry 5, GTA V, and The Witcher 5.
No, it's the 3rd one.
Let me show you the fps count in each game. Let's go straight to crazy.
You've seen a lot of gaming with decent hardware anyway.
Okay, now we'll run rendering with the highest resolution.
There are extracts in 4K. It's gonna be quite the load
for the processor and the video card.
Here, the processor is already loaded at 90%.
And we're running Far Cry 5.
And we'll see the fps count.
You can see the list of games purchased in Steam.
It's bulked up over many years. Don't think I'm a nerd. I probably am, tho.
But I never played most of them, tbh. Bought and ran once.
Tom Clancy's Division. Barely played it.
Didn't like it. Sniper Elite was good, tho.
Well, that sort of action. Never played this Resident Evil 7.
Okay, we're rendering now. The processor temp is 60°C (140°F).
The water temp is 29.4°C (84°F). The water hasn't even warmed up.
Let's now run Far Cry 5. Let's see how the game works alongside the rendering.
The water is 30°C (86°F).
I closed the balcony door as my family is back from the walk.
Tbh, I've been recording this video for many days now.
As terrible as it may sound but kids are a great distraction.
But I decided to finish the video today no matter what,
so I locked myself in on the balcony.
It's gonna get really hot in here. My window is shut, and I closed the door to where the AC is.
And now I'm, basically, face to face with the PC that's rendering and running Far Cry 5.
Okay, settings at max.
Resolution: 3440x1440.
And now let's run a productivity test.
A quick reminder - the resndering is on. I'll even switch tabs to show it to you.
Here is rendering in full resolution.
The average is 50, the max is 81 fps.
So, we can see the average of 46 fps in rendering.
Let's now turn the render off and see the real fps by Far Cry 5.
And now we see 89 fps on max settings.
The water has heated up to 34°C (93°F)
Let's check the video cards.
We can up the productivity. I didn't make much effort there.
We have GPU Tweak here. We're in Silent mode now.
The video cards are not finetuned yet. There's also a gaming mode, overclocking.
The video card temp for each is now 4°C away from that of the water's.
38°C (100°F) on each video cars, 34°C (93°F) is the water.
That is a great number. I've never seen the video cards go above 55°C (131°F).
The water leads the heat off perfectly well.
The processor, however, may heat up to about 72°C (161°F)
GTA V. We see 120 fps,
with a very smooth and nice picture.
Let's now kick it up to 150 fps.
The graphics is 3440x1440, 100 Hz. Smoothing is on, Nvidia TSSA is on.
Long shadows - on. Shadows - on. Everything's set at max. No scaling.
Let's turn it up yo 1.25 and see if the fps drops.
Yes, it did. But it still is about 100.
The graphics is unreal. Let's tuen it up a bit more. To 1.5
We've occupied half of the video memory - 10 GB out of 22 GB.
It sees both video cards.
Let's check the load on them and their temperature.
Okay, with the resolution scale set at 1.5, we see 80 fps.
Pretty comfotable to play. The image is smooth.
The game is awesome. But I don't get how is could pass a censor.
Rough stuff. Oh! A biker!
I think I'm gonna fail Mission 1 here.
The Witcher. Some weird stuff is going on. First it's 120 fps, then 60, then it jumps to 100 fps.
Vertical synching is on. Maybe that's how G-Sync works? I don't know.
I didn't turn it on. I guess it just went on automatically.
I have no idea what's the matter. Yep. G-Sync is on. Maybe it's that.
Let me try and turn it off.
Here is 130 fps. With no G-Sync. I don't know why you need it.
Probably to avoid image ripping but it doesn't ri without it.
130 fps was what you just saw.
Tbh, I've never tried G-Sync intentionally. Only saw it a moment ago.
But looks like, despite the official claim, you don't always need the thing.
So, this is 130 fps. I'll show you the settings now.
Video > Graphics.
Ah, sorry. It wasn't Ultra. With Ultra it did go down.
Dropped to 110 fps.
Well, it's Ultra, 4K, all at max. I'll run a bit, and then we'll check the card load and temp.
The video cards are still both on. Complete load.
Here are the first and the second one. And the temp held at about 55°C (131°F).
The water is 39.3°C (102°F)
Hasn't even heated up yet.
It's cool and nice. Nice ventillation here. Sure, with the lid close it will get a lot hotter.
But you can clearly see how well the cooling system operates.
It's pretty hot on the balcony, but I's closed the door.
To avoid any distraction. And the window is closed, too.
Well, you can see now how the water cooling system works in a closed space.
I'd like to address the part of the audience that knows their computers.
To those who follow us for the car audio but their main passion is computers.
Please, don't be shy to leave comments.
Please, share your advice.
More about this build, the process and some interesting details are here,
at hyperpc.ru.
There is now my personal page with this wonder-PC.
I felt like my PC was impossible to improve 'cuz it was a super-powerful work-and-gaming station.
But the guys put here a more powerful processor, video cards with better performance
and better cooling, faster memory.
And, yeah, it does show. The computer renders a lot faster now.
It's more comfortable to edit video. The PC boots faster, wakes up faster.
The functions have improved, too.
And the use convenience, too. Partly due to this amazing case.
Let me point out again that the Hyper PC guys are not just professionals,
they are also very passionate about what they do.
And, nowadays, that is something that's worth a lot.
A lot of stuff is done for the merits nowadays.
Thanks to everyone who sat through this review.
I know people are lazy today. They crave some quick pulp fiction on YouTube.
I really appreciate those who's watched the video completely.
And don't forget to leave your notes and comments below.
Bye, everyone. Live LOUD.
This is what I've been talking about. If you don't stand in the position on time...
You're screwed.
