[0:00] The best thing about building a DIY PC
[0:02] is that you can spec it any way you want
[0:04] to get the most for your dollar. Then,
[0:07] when you're done, you can fine-tune that
[0:09] thing to your heart's content to squeeze
[0:11] even more out of it. The bad news is
[0:14] that configuring and optimizing a system
[0:16] can be tough when there is so much wrong
[0:20] information out there on the internet.
[0:22] Now, you can avoid some of that by just
[0:24] buying a pre-built PC. Any Tom, Dick, or
[0:26] Michael Dell can do that for you, but
[0:28] that's not going to help you with the
[0:30] tuning, will it?
[0:31] Well, that is where Splave comes in.
[0:34] He's
[0:35] really big. And he's also one of the
[0:38] most legendary overclockers of all time.
[0:40] He's number one on the global masters
[0:41] list on Hardware Bot, has held over 800
[0:43] overclocking world records, and just a
[0:46] few years ago he launched Splave PC, a
[0:48] system integrator that uses his
[0:50] expertise to make the fastest gaming
[0:52] hardware even [music] faster. And today,
[0:55] they're announcing something next-level.
[0:57] It's a microfiber cloth in front of my
[1:00] damn unveiling. One second.
[1:02] It's
[1:03] the Splave Pro. This thing comes with
[1:07] hand-selected CPUs and GPUs for maximum
[1:10] performance, custom thermal paste for
[1:13] enhanced cooling, and super fast RAM.
[1:16] Then, every aspect of the machine is
[1:18] tightly tuned. The result? Yes. That is
[1:22] CS: GO running at over 900 frames per
[1:26] second.
[1:27] Crazy. We're going to take you guys
[1:29] through this system, show you what sets
[1:31] it apart, and because Splave is so
[1:33] generous with his knowledge, we're going
[1:34] to show you how you can make similar
[1:36] optimizations on your own hardware at
[1:39] home. For example, watch this. By
[1:40] changing this simple setting, you can
[1:42] get about [music] going quite a good
[1:43] deal to one of the
[1:49] >> Hey, you're that man. Can I have a
[1:51] picture?
[1:52] >> Of course.
[1:54] >> I I to ask, how did you get all those
[1:56] business apps onto one easy to use
[1:57] platform?
[1:58] >> So, you want to know Odoo's secret
[2:00] sauce.
[2:13] >> Right out of the gate, obviously, the
[2:15] system is gorgeous. You're using the Air
[2:18] 5400, which has this really unique
[2:20] approach to airflow with kind of ducting
[2:23] that really gets your fresh air exactly
[2:25] where it needs to go, and then keeps the
[2:27] hot air from being recycled. Like this
[2:28] front radiator is freaking awesome. It
[2:31] just
[2:32] throws all the heat out the right side,
[2:34] rather than crapping it out over the
[2:35] rest of the system. But,
[2:38] the Air 5400 is a Corsair product, and
[2:40] for that matter, so are a lot of the
[2:42] things in here. What sets this system
[2:45] apart?
[2:45] >> Basically, the tune.
[2:47] And we take all of the best parts from
[2:50] all the different companies and jam them
[2:52] all together,
[2:53] and then make it better with our tuning.
[2:55] >> Right. So, with this specific build,
[2:57] there was a particular inspiration for
[2:59] it, right? Like there was one person who
[3:01] needed it.
[3:01] >> Yeah, we had a pro gamer ask us,
[3:05] he only cares about gaming. I want my
[3:06] fans at 100% all the time.
[3:08] >> Yeah, I noticed that.
[3:09] >> And I'm like, who else is going to want
[3:11] that?
[3:12] >> Yeah.
[3:12] >> Maybe another pro gamer.
[3:14] Not me, but
[3:15] >> Right.
[3:16] >> But, um I'm not making every computer
[3:18] for myself. So, we're all about the
[3:21] customer service, and we can tune it to
[3:23] whatever anyone wants.
[3:24] >> Right. So, you guys built this one, and
[3:26] then basically, from my understanding,
[3:28] you pretty much had a line up out the
[3:29] door of people saying, "Oh, no, I want I
[3:30] want that one just like that guy has."
[3:32] >> Correct.
[3:32] >> So, you kind of went,
[3:34] >> All right, hope we can sell it that way
[3:35] then.
[3:36] >> In matters of taste, the customer is
[3:37] always right, right? Tell us then about
[3:39] your part selection. What makes
[3:41] everything in here the absolute best?
[3:43] Like there's one that I got to kind of
[3:45] challenge you on, right? You've got a
[3:46] 9950X 3D in here.
[3:48] >> Right.
[3:49] >> No X3D II, no 9800. What made that the
[3:52] right choice?
[3:53] >> It's a gaming PC, that the right choice?
[3:56] >> have it be a daily PC. So our our Pro
[3:58] Gamers don't need to buy two computers.
[4:00] It's bad marketing for myself but the
[4:02] 9950x3d we found to be better binned
[4:06] also on the core zeros.
[4:08] We use the game mode to shut the other
[4:11] CCD off and we're we've been finding
[4:13] that the overclocking has been better on
[4:15] those than say a 9850x3d.
[4:17] >> If that sounded like double D good what
[4:19] Allen is saying was that while [music]
[4:21] there are processors out there that
[4:23] might be you know more marketed towards
[4:26] Gamers or might even be faster out of
[4:30] the box the 9950x3d
[4:32] in particular has the best balance of
[4:35] out of the box experience and also the
[4:37] ability to tweak it even higher. We
[4:40] don't care so much that the other eight
[4:42] cores do not have AMD's 3D V-Cache
[4:45] because when we're gaming we're going to
[4:47] turn them off. And for the cores that do
[4:49] have AMD's [music] 3D V-Cache they find
[4:51] that that chip tends to get the very
[4:54] best ones. As for the rest of this
[4:56] hardware it's mostly pretty obvious. I
[4:57] mean who wouldn't take an ROG 59 di
[5:01] astral if they could get their hands on
[5:02] it.
[5:03] >> [music]
[5:03] >> But there are some that I do still have
[5:05] more questions about. I mean back in the
[5:07] day when the Northbridge the memory
[5:09] controller used to be built into the
[5:10] motherboard you would see like a 5%
[5:13] performance swing from one board to the
[5:14] next. Nowadays now that it's pretty much
[5:17] all built into the CPU how do you choose
[5:19] a motherboard for like a
[5:21] to the nines tuned machine? [music]
[5:24] >> For me it's easy because the ROG
[5:26] motherboards
[5:27] are all just so biased towards
[5:30] overclocking and the extreme
[5:31] overclocking scene and I use the same
[5:34] ones on LN2 so I'm super comfortable
[5:37] with with air cooling because LN2 is
[5:40] easy then.
[5:41] >> You're saying that you're not large
[5:42] enough there's actually two of you.
[5:43] There's Allen two.
[5:44] >> Yes.
[5:45] >> [laughter]
[5:46] >> That's not what you said. He was
[5:47] referring to liquid nitrogen. I know
[5:48] that. I just thought it was funny.
[5:50] Like, can you imagine two of two of this
[5:52] machine?
[5:53] >> With that said, I do know that in the
[5:55] past, ASUS and the other big guys have
[5:58] marketed different boards for extreme
[6:01] overclocking versus like daily driver
[6:04] overclocking. In your experience, is
[6:06] [music] there anything that prevents an
[6:07] XOC board from just being used with an
[6:10] AIO liquid cooler like this? [music]
[6:11] >> On LN2, I would maybe prefer an Apex for
[6:14] the two DIMM slots only. The four on the
[6:16] Hero gives us the option to expand if
[6:19] someone needs more for for their tasks.
[6:22] >> But, what's the downside of having four?
[6:24] Do you want to explain that?
[6:25] >> Having four DIMM slots can be a
[6:27] disadvantage because there can be some
[6:29] reflection between the the channels. And
[6:32] also, the traces are physically longer
[6:36] just for path from CPU to the back of
[6:39] the motherboard.
[6:40] >> Right, okay. So, the shorter we can keep
[6:42] those and the fewer things we can have
[6:45] on each trace.
[6:46] >> Yeah.
[6:47] >> On the subject of memory, it's pretty
[6:48] expensive right now. Has that been a
[6:50] major impediment? Like, have you have
[6:52] you had to to cheap out on memory?
[6:54] >> For now, we're just raising prices like
[6:55] everyone else. Unfortunately, I don't
[6:58] really want to go the route of putting
[6:59] something worse in there or whatever I
[7:02] can find.
[7:03] >> I mean, given your branding is uh
[7:06] >> the last thing you'd want to do is
[7:07] compromise on maximum performance.
[7:10] >> That's it.
[7:11] >> Fair enough. So, what are you using?
[7:12] >> We're using 2 by 32 GB in the system for
[7:15] 64. But, we are going to give the option
[7:17] to cut it back to 32, 16 by 2, if
[7:20] someone is more price conscious.
[7:22] >> That makes sense. And 6,000 is still the
[7:25] sweet spot just with as tight latencies
[7:27] as you can get.
[7:28] >> Yeah, correct.
[7:28] >> I mean, you're not going to be running
[7:30] at the factory speeds anyway, though,
[7:31] right?
[7:31] >> No.
[7:32] Of course not.
[7:33] >> [laughter]
[7:34] >> What kind of challenges does that create
[7:36] for support? Because, unless I'm
[7:37] disclosing something I'm not, not all of
[7:40] your customers are gamers or even
[7:42] end-users. You even work with some
[7:44] government entities.
[7:45] >> Correct.
[7:46] >> So, like how do you provide a warranty
[7:47] on, "Hey, by the way, I
[7:49] cranked this up to 12."?
[7:51] >> Warranty-wise, we we we do a
[7:53] no-questions-asked replacement for
[7:55] everything.
[7:56] >> Right.
[7:56] >> It's part of our high-end experience.
[7:59] >> And if I had to guess, I would say that
[8:01] probably the guys who partner with you,
[8:03] like G.Skill, just for the privilege of
[8:05] partnering with Slave PC, they probably
[8:07] just take the damn stick back, don't
[8:09] they?
[8:09] >> Uh yeah, basically.
[8:11] >> [laughter]
[8:11] >> So, the Costco model.
[8:12] >> In most cases.
[8:14] >> Now, I could see you flexing that kind
[8:15] of muscle on G.Skill, but with a brand
[8:17] like ASUS, my understanding is you crack
[8:21] open these cards personally,
[8:23] >> Mhm.
[8:23] >> take off the cooler, you put your own
[8:25] custom thermal compound on them, then
[8:27] you seal them back up. Are they covering
[8:29] you against that?
[8:30] >> No, not currently.
[8:31] >> You got to build that into your margin,
[8:33] basically.
[8:33] >> Sure, yeah. [clears throat] Um
[8:35] and then they use PTM.
[8:36] >> Okay, I mean, that's pretty good stuff,
[8:38] available on LTT store.
[8:39] >> So, we scrape that off.
[8:40] >> Okay, ouch.
[8:42] >> And then uh we have our own paste coming
[8:44] out soon, but we use it currently.
[8:46] >> Yeah, what's it called?
[8:47] >> Uh T1000, after Terminator.
[8:49] >> Because?
[8:50] >> There's some liquid metal in it.
[8:52] >> But not all liquid metal.
[8:53] >> Correct.
[8:54] >> So, what makes it safer than a typical
[8:56] liquid metal, which can have problems
[8:58] with long-term deployments?
[8:59] >> The liquid metal is embedded in the
[9:01] silicon. Uh there's little balls of the
[9:03] gallium.
[9:04] >> Right.
[9:04] >> And it's the application is just like
[9:07] thermal paste. There's no
[9:09] faffing around like liquid metal.
[9:10] >> What kind of a result improvement can
[9:12] you expect?
[9:13] >> We see, depending on the card and how
[9:15] the PTM was applied, uh
[9:17] 5 to 10° load.
[9:19] >> My last question then is with a system
[9:21] that's so tuned,
[9:23] AIO versus custom water cooling, really.
[9:26] >> Yeah.
[9:26] >> Why that choice?
[9:27] >> We offer a warranty,
[9:29] and I'm we we just don't really want
[9:31] people to have to worry about algae and
[9:34] cleaning a loop, filling a loop, even
[9:36] shipping a loop. If we're having trouble
[9:38] with thermals, it's way easier to have
[9:41] them send it to us to put a new AIO or
[9:43] if they're one of your smart viewers,
[9:46] they can probably figure it out
[9:48] themselves, and we allow that.
[9:49] >> The cold, hard truth is that as much as
[9:52] I love custom water cooling, if you are
[9:55] the kind of person who can't build a
[9:56] custom water cooling loop, you shouldn't
[9:59] be buying a custom water cooling loop
[10:00] because you are not going to be able to
[10:02] handle the maintenance. While we sit and
[10:03] wait for the computer to boot, which is
[10:05] taking quite a while because it's
[10:07] retraining the memory, let's talk about
[10:09] a choice that I don't fully understand,
[10:11] which is that you've configured the
[10:13] system to retrain the memory all the
[10:14] freaking time. Is slower booting a
[10:16] feature?
[10:17] >> We use the run time reduction, we leave
[10:19] that disabled and the memory context
[10:21] restore disabled. Those are what make it
[10:23] take a long time to train,
[10:25] but when it does train,
[10:27] your system is more stable.
[10:29] >> And that's something that you need to
[10:30] redo frequently, even if you're not
[10:32] changing any settings?
[10:33] >> Correct. It just it's It's just more
[10:35] stable if it's always on a fresh train.
[10:38] >> Talk us through what you got set here.
[10:39] I'm sure Obviously, we're running Expo.
[10:42] >> Running Expo.
[10:43] >> But then we're also not cuz you've
[10:45] turned the frequency up a little bit,
[10:46] you're playing around with the F clock.
[10:47] Walk us through it.
[10:48] >> This system we're launching with a
[10:51] gaming profile and then a daily like
[10:54] work
[10:55] not fun profile. So, the gaming profile,
[10:59] obviously we have Expo enabled, but
[11:01] we're also going to enhance those
[11:02] timings further.
[11:03] >> Sure.
[11:03] >> For gaming, I prefer to keep it fixed
[11:06] core clock and gaming mode enabled so we
[11:09] can ramp up the frequency. I have it at
[11:11] 55, and I find that the fixed frequency
[11:15] helps with the 1% lows
[11:17] >> Mhm.
[11:17] >> and just the the overall smoothness of
[11:19] the gaming because it's not trying to
[11:22] guess where it's power limit's going to
[11:24] be and changing frequency.
[11:26] >> That's a really important detail because
[11:27] while it's tempting to look at a graph
[11:29] of average FPS and just choose whichever
[11:31] one's at the top. I think we all know
[11:34] that the times when we really feel the
[11:36] speed of our hardware are in a heavy
[11:38] firefight or when there's a whole bunch
[11:40] of visual effects on screen and you've
[11:42] got that that stutter or that dip. By
[11:45] focusing on that, you might actually,
[11:48] which is ironic, harm your benchmark
[11:51] results,
[11:52] but you deliver a more usable daily
[11:54] driving experience. And then game mode
[11:57] is just disabling eight of your cores.
[11:58] >> All right. The non-X3D ones on this X3D
[12:02] and non-X3D chip.
[12:03] >> And the SMT.
[12:04] >> Oh, we're doing away with hyper, excuse
[12:06] me,
[12:07] simultaneous multi-threading as well.
[12:09] >> The primary timings,
[12:12] like your TCL,
[12:14] uh they don't matter as much. It's all
[12:16] these juicy secondaries and tertiary
[12:19] timings in the bottom. And this has just
[12:21] been learned over time, trial and error,
[12:24] what works best. You can't just set one
[12:26] on all of them. There's a harmony
[12:28] between them that you have to
[12:30] It's a song.
[12:32] >> [laughter]
[12:33] >> The memory also we keep it synced, if
[12:37] you clock them and clock one to one
[12:40] for latency.
[12:40] >> Cuz it's nice if you can like run at
[12:42] higher frequencies on your memory, but
[12:44] if you're running at a higher frequency
[12:45] and it's costing you performance, are
[12:47] you really winning? So, tell us a little
[12:49] bit more about some of these
[12:50] sub-timings.
[12:51] >> Probably your most important one is the
[12:53] refresh interval.
[12:54] >> Sure.
[12:55] >> And
[12:56] nine times out of 10 you can just max
[12:58] that out as high as it'll go and you'll
[13:00] be fine.
[13:01] >> And that gives you what benefit?
[13:02] >> The benefit like in a benchmark or in
[13:05] gaming just from this, I would say is
[13:08] maybe like 2% 1% 1.5.
[13:12] >> Really?
[13:13] >> So, that's a huge one. And there's lots
[13:15] of great uh resources like overclock.net
[13:19] and and other websites that have entire
[13:22] dedicated pages of just
[13:25] >> [music]
[13:25] >> people who love memory tuning.
[13:27] and often times you can figure out if
[13:30] you have a similar kit with the same
[13:33] ICs. Often times you can just copy and
[13:36] paste and enjoy the extra performance
[13:38] that they found.
[13:39] >> Is there anything else in the gaming
[13:40] profile that you'd say is is worth kind
[13:43] of [music] showing?
[13:43] >> You turn like the all the global
[13:45] C-states,
[13:47] any of the fancy AI stuff would get shut
[13:50] off.
[13:51] >> Yeah, okay.
[13:51] >> Virtualization, even AVX 512 we shut
[13:54] off.
[13:55] >> And why do we disable AVX 512?
[13:57] >> Essentially if you get into a scenario
[13:59] where your CPU is at 55
[14:02] and you're running higher voltage,
[14:05] you're not going to have a thermal issue
[14:07] if it runs AVX 512. Cuz it'll just run
[14:10] AVX 256.
[14:12] >> Right, it'll fall back.
[14:13] >> Yeah.
[14:13] >> That's obviously something [music] that
[14:15] you've fine-tuned. Is this something
[14:16] where system by system you're going in
[14:18] and finding the sweet [music] spot for
[14:20] voltage, chip by chip? But these aren't
[14:22] just like any random chips and then you
[14:23] put as much voltage as it takes.
[14:25] >> No.
[14:25] >> So, how many chips do you typically go
[14:28] through to get one for a slave pro?
[14:31] >> I'd say one in four or five
[14:34] are are not good enough.
[14:36] >> Oh, okay. So, most of them are good
[14:38] enough.
[14:38] >> Most of them are good enough.
[14:40] >> We are changing a lot of settings going
[14:43] from our gaming profile to our daily
[14:45] driver profile.
[14:46] >> [music]
[14:46] >> We rely on a lot of PBO, which is the
[14:49] built-in kind of
[14:51] assisted AMD overclocking
[14:54] >> Yeah.
[14:54] >> features.
[14:56] And basically
[14:58] that's another kind of thing you can
[15:00] play with. You can let the motherboard
[15:02] handle it all.
[15:03] >> Sure.
[15:03] >> Or you can use your own custom settings.
[15:06] We use custom settings because our
[15:08] cooler is really strong, the Corsair
[15:10] [music] cooler. So, we're just limiting
[15:12] our wattage to 275 watts.
[15:15] >> Right.
[15:16] I'll even have a limit at that point.
[15:18] That's a lot of wattage for
[15:19] a modern CPU.
[15:20] >> You're getting uh
[15:23] I think it was a 10% increase in R23 and
[15:27] R24.
[15:28] >> Right. So, that's Cinebench, just kind
[15:30] of a a heavy creator-oriented
[15:33] multi-threaded workload.
[15:34] >> And it won't constantly be running as
[15:36] fast as it can to hit 95 C and throttle
[15:38] back like stock would be.
[15:40] >> Right. Which again, whether you're
[15:42] gaming or whether you're doing anything
[15:44] else,
[15:44] >> [music]
[15:44] >> is not ideal for the consistency of the
[15:47] overall experience, nor is it ideal for
[15:49] stability.
[15:50] >> [music]
[15:50] >> Can you talk us through like some of the
[15:52] changes that you have made here? You You
[15:55] told us like the the power limit, right?
[15:56] [music] But, some of this other stuff
[15:59] looks like it's been adjusted. Your
[16:01] precision boost overdrive scalar, have
[16:02] you changed that?
[16:03] >> Uh yes, we have that on 4x.
[16:06] Uh which it it'll it increases the
[16:08] maximum boost voltage used.
[16:10] >> Okay.
[16:11] >> Which we can also do because of our good
[16:13] cooling. We have the
[16:15] boost clock plus 200, and I believe
[16:18] that's the maximum that you can set.
[16:20] >> Right.
[16:21] >> And mostly our goal for the
[16:23] daily is
[16:25] stability with speed.
[16:26] >> Right.
[16:27] >> Whereas our gaming is pure gaming.
[16:31] >> Speed.
[16:31] >> Nothing else matters.
[16:32] >> But, also stability.
[16:34] >> Yeah.
[16:34] >> What's our max CPU frequency that we
[16:36] might see in our daily driver mode?
[16:38] >> Daily driver mode, I believe ramps up to
[16:41] 5.4
[16:43] on
[16:44] uh light load, and then 5.2 on Prime95
[16:48] and like R15.
[16:49] >> So, we're getting up to another 300 MHz
[16:50] when we're gaming if we flip over
[16:51] [music] to our gaming mode. Why don't we
[16:53] do gaming mode? Now that we're on
[16:54] Windows, everything we've looked at so
[16:56] far is CPU, but everybody knows that for
[16:58] modern graphically intensive games, the
[17:00] CPU is just
[17:02] it's such a small part of the story. So,
[17:04] why don't you talk through some of what
[17:06] you're doing on this Astral [music]
[17:07] 5090?
[17:07] >> Because we have the Astral 5090 and the
[17:10] cooling is so good, we pretty much set
[17:12] it to a fixed clock of
[17:15] what is too loud or or too much for you
[17:18] to handle out of three wise?
[17:20] >> Um
[17:21] >> Okay.
[17:22] >> A lot of people wanted at 100 that we've
[17:24] had.
[17:24] >> Yeah.
[17:25] >> Uh but I don't and I can't handle that.
[17:27] So, I put it at your favorite number.
[17:30] >> Nice.
[17:31] >> And
[17:32] because of our cooling
[17:34] I don't like to use curve.
[17:37] I like to set a fixed boost.
[17:39] >> Oh, really?
[17:39] >> Right.
[17:40] >> Okay, that's [music] I I gain some of
[17:42] the conventional wisdom these days. Want
[17:44] to walk us through that?
[17:45] >> People use the VF tuner. They're wanting
[17:48] to undervolt.
[17:50] >> Or they're worried about temperature
[17:52] where we aren't.
[17:52] >> We're not?
[17:53] >> Memory clock
[17:54] the Astros all have really great memory.
[17:57] So, we're we've been safe at this number
[17:59] on 99% of the cards.
[18:02] Which is a plus 7,000
[18:06] overclock. So, you can imagine if you
[18:08] didn't have any any overclock, it would
[18:10] be worse.
[18:11] >> Now, Nvidia doesn't let us play around
[18:13] with power limits anymore.
[18:14] >> Correct.
[18:15] >> Is there anything that you do on these
[18:16] systems or are we just kind of stuck
[18:18] within their constraints?
[18:19] >> Just by keeping it cool, we're keeping
[18:22] the power a little lower to get that
[18:24] extra performance. [music]
[18:25] >> Right, okay.
[18:26] >> That but that's that's it. There's no
[18:27] BIOS or anything that we're using.
[18:29] >> To give you an idea of what all of the
[18:31] optimizations that Alan has done to his
[18:33] systems add up to, we built a system
[18:36] with near identical specs, even using
[18:39] the same airflow optimized case and the
[18:41] same cooling, but without any of his
[18:44] special binning [music] or his
[18:46] optimizations. We just picked whatever
[18:49] hardware met the spec and happened to be
[18:51] compatible, and then we enabled Expo
[18:53] memory overclocking in the BIOS.
[18:55] >> [music]
[18:55] >> And
[18:56] we're going to send it. We're going to
[18:57] run these two side by side. We're firing
[18:59] up in Forza Horizon 6. We're going to
[19:01] start benchmark mode, extreme plus ray
[19:04] tracing, 4K, no holds barred. 3 2 1.
[19:09] Okay, so what does that work out to?
[19:11] That's about 3%? Well, your CPU
[19:14] simulation time is obliterating mine.
[19:18] So, all we're really learning in here is
[19:21] that Nvidia does not allow really a lot
[19:23] of tuning on their GPUs. And that we are
[19:26] heavily GPU bound in this game.
[19:28] >> Sure.
[19:29] >> That's what we learned from this game.
[19:31] Let's move on to something a little bit
[19:33] more CPU bound. Holy bananas.
[19:38] We're looking at like an extra 200 plus
[19:42] FPS here. That is flipping crazy. Okay,
[19:46] let's go let's go somewhere else. Let's
[19:48] go
[19:50] Yeah, let's head over to bomb site A.
[19:52] So, I'm at like 230 lows, 600 average.
[19:56] You're at Oh, wait. Oh, you're all over
[19:58] the place, too. Yeah, we're we're both a
[19:59] little bit all over the place. Okay, I'm
[20:00] holding still. Okay, I'm at like 230 250
[20:04] for lows. Very similar, actually. Both
[20:07] of them are all flipping over the place.
[20:10] >> See, the GPU time
[20:11] for both of us is pretty
[20:13] 37 and
[20:14] >> Yeah, our GPUs are doing like nothing
[20:16] right now. And this is pretty close, but
[20:19] I would say I don't think I ever saw it
[20:21] dip below 200 for you, though. Holy
[20:23] crap. You're cracking a thousand and I'm
[20:27] at like 700 600 here. Even with all the
[20:30] bots there and even with all the models
[20:33] there, he's still getting more FPS than
[20:36] me. Especially noticeable in the 1%
[20:38] lows. I'm at like
[20:40] 250 270 280. You're at like 290 300.
[20:46] Yeah, in a more CPU bound title, very
[20:49] clear that the optimization is giving
[20:51] you more FPS. Now, is the difference
[20:53] between 250 and 300 FPS likely to make
[20:57] you a better Counter-Strike player if
[20:58] you suck? No. But, if you're really
[21:00] good, is it going to give you every last
[21:03] edge? Yeah.
[21:05] Okay, should we try one more game?
[21:06] >> Sure.
[21:07] >> Once again in Cyberpunk, it's easier to
[21:09] run the benchmark than it is to find the
[21:10] exact same place on the map. So, 3 2 1,
[21:13] I'm getting way more FPS than you in
[21:14] this menu. [music] Got him.
[21:15] >> You win. I'm going to go.
[21:17] >> Okay.
[21:18] So, we're looking at
[21:20] around like 7% performance improvement,
[21:23] but what about our 1%? Average is 1% and
[21:27] maximum, it's just
[21:29] a little bit faster. We've already run
[21:31] this a couple of times and we're looking
[21:32] at anywhere from about 7% improvement
[21:35] for Slave's machine up to about 12%
[21:38] improvement in the most extreme
[21:39] difference that we got between them.
[21:40] But, I don't actually think the
[21:41] performance delta is even the biggest
[21:44] part of the story. I think it's the
[21:45] cooling. So, you can see right behind
[21:46] me, just like we saw before, our CPU is
[21:49] running way cooler on his machine in the
[21:51] neighborhood of around 8 or 9° right
[21:55] now. And the GPU, too, is running at
[21:56] about, man, it's like 12° cooler. Now,
[22:00] like Alan said, a lot of this you guys
[22:02] can do for yourselves using guides that
[22:04] we'll have linked below and information
[22:06] that he has freely shared. It's just a
[22:08] question of whether you feel like it.
[22:10] And I guess that's where you come in is
[22:12] if you don't feel like it, this man
[22:13] build a Yeah.
[22:15] >> He feels like it a lot.
[22:17] Thanks, Alan, for coming out and showing
[22:20] us how you build a supremely tuned
[22:22] system. And to the rest of you guys out
[22:23] there,
[22:24] uh buy one of these computers or he's
[22:26] threatened to crush me.
[22:29] Oh, wow, you really embraced that faster
[22:31] than I thought. Now, it's time for me to
[22:33] crush this segway to our sponsor.
[22:43] >> Game game, why does our business
[22:45] management software taste so much better
[22:47] than everyone else's?
[22:48] >> That's because I keep everything cooking
[22:49] in the same pot, little guy.
[22:51] >> How does that help?
[22:53] >> Oh, it's quite simple. If you want to
[22:54] track leads, get accurate forecasts,
[22:56] [music] and close more business deals,
[22:59] spice up the pot with a CRM app.
[23:01] >> Automate your replenishment strategies
[23:03] with a nice savory inventory app. And
[23:06] for a little subtle sweetness, add a
[23:08] dash of invoicing so your team can
[23:10] create and send invoices in record time.
[23:13] >> I can't wait to help so many people
[23:15] manage their entire business with one
[23:17] easy-to-use platform.
[23:18] >> Aw, that's sweet, sugar. Everything
[23:21] tastes better when brought together.
[23:22] Remember,
[23:23] all you got to do is Odoo.
[23:26] >> [laughter]
[23:28] >> Are you going to take the picture?
[23:29] >> Mhm, use our link for a free 15-day
[23:31] trial with no credit card required or
[23:33] book a demo with Gam-Gam.
[23:34] >> Huh?
[23:36] >> And if you only use one app, it's free.
[23:39] >> But
[23:39] >> But now.
[23:40] >> [laughter]
[23:41] >> But
[23:41] my photo.
