I am still on x99 lol. 4k is still silky smooth to edit with. 8k with a proxy no issues. The titan XP still renders as fast as a 1080ti. I just haven't needed to upgrade
I went trough the whole video, it's not like I don't know how to build a PC.. and I bet quite a few of the viewers feel the same. But rather it was entertaining. I was quite impressed by the case.. and the song at the end :D.
So I quite literally just watched you guys talked about test-driving Linux as a daily driver for the next month and this was the auto-play video right after it.
@@MrKonDumb I think it was an instance of Maybe UA-cam listening to what I was talking about. I was talking to my friends today about my old Core 2 Quad q6600 what's the last desktop that I built and how I was really excited to finally be able to build a new one
Linus, I literally sat through this whole thing (I'm not building a workstation) and it was pretty informative and entertaining. Good Job to you guys :)
You can use a i7-5930K or even i7-5960X with an X99-E-WS motherboard. A Titan X or a GTX 980 can substitute the 780. Change the SSD to a Samsung 850-Pro.
Anthony Sparta Anthony Sparta Yes, looking into the i7-5820K, it is just a 5930K with 40 PCI-E lanes. I apologize for my stupidity. ***** The 5930K and 5820K have the same die, Intel has just disabled some PCI-E Lanes.
Jason Bradley I built my own version of this build and have been using it for a year or so and still find this a great workstation. I made a couple of my own choices such as liquid cooling. I would be interested in seeing an update to this build. What preferences for newer components such as motherboard, cpu and graphic cards as well as other components would be on the menu for a new build?
Again, you can update your Mobo to a X99 E WS, CPU to an i7-5820/5930K, A Titan X or 980 with a Quadro 4200. Other than those, the build is relatively new.
Hi, First thanks for the Videos. I am learning a lot ! Recently I built a PC for better Video editing performance. I used to work with a laptop and now PC, I don't see any appreciable improvement. Old - Lap top - Dell Inspiron, 2.8 GHz Intel I5, 6GB DDR3 RAM, Windows 8., WD Black New PC - Intel I7 6700 3.40 Ghz, 16 GB Corsair RAM, MotherBoard - Gigabyte B150M-D3H-CF, Windows 8.1, WD Blue Softwares: Adobe Premier Pro CC, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop Camera: Canon 7D Mark II Improvements with New PC 1) Lightroom & Photoshop doesn't freezes ( Used to have loading, processing, sudden shutdown of app with Laptop) 2) Premier pro - Quicker imports of larger files, Could work with 50 fps shots (50 Mbps), Videos of 25 Mbps doesn't freezes. Issues with New PC 1) Export Time - Takes more time than my laptop 2) When working with Adjustment layers, multiple layers the export time even longer (Laptop was better) 3) Couldn't work with All Editing Video format - 80 Mbps. Yet I didn't work with 4K videos, I don't think i will have good performance. I really don't understand why I have lower performance with higher System configuration. My Question : Do I compulsorily go for an Graphic Card, What should I do for better performance ? (I don't play Video games, For now I will be only working on Premier Pro with 1080p Videos, I am no working with After effects) Please advice ! (PS: During Premier Pro working Editing/ Export, Laptop takes 4 GB of 6 GB RAM, CPU at 80 to 90% and new PC takes up to 12 GB of 16 GB RAM, CPU at 50%)
Hi INDISHORT, Your issue is that it seems like you have only one Hard Drive (WD Blue can also be 5400 rpm, which would be bad for editing). For video editing purposes, you should ABSOLUTELY have several hard drives... if you're only using one, your drive has to: read the program, interact with your OS, read your media files, export your video - all at the same time. I use this HD configuration for Premiere: 1. SSD 250gb (Operating system + programs) 2. SSD 120gb (premiere cache files, render files) 3. 2x2TB WD black (raid 0) (media files, projects) 4. 4TB WD blue (exports, backup) You don't necessarily need a raid 0, and you don't necessarily need the second SSD for cache files, but make sure you have a dedicated drive for your OS + programs and that you're exporting on a third drive. That makes export times much much longer. For the graphic card: yes, you have to get one. It will give you exceptionally faster exports. You don't have to get anything fancy... something around $300 (look at GeForce cards supported by Premiere before buying). Once you have your GPU, you have to enable the mercury engine in Premiere and you're good to go. Good luck
Thanks LinusTechTips, you're the only person I've been able to find that takes the time to do builds with Quadro cards and professional features in mind.
I'm commenting in 3069 using the new youtube "Comment Through Time" feature My system is: Intel i32 999990z @3TetraHertz 4096GB of DDR82 RAM @ 32GHz Nvidia GTXXX 1440Ti in 24 way SLI 40TB SSD 4 million TB HDD Asus ROG Z8012 - X 3000000 Watt PSU quad 1024k Monitors It runs Minecraft 4 at 40 million fps in 1024k and 6D It costs £3000000000.99
I am pretty sure that HDD's are out of use in 3069. If not please tell me and how fast it is. also what is your power bill using 3000000 watt PSU. nice build otherwise. EDIT - if you had it for 1000 years more, then what the ***k is a HDD doing in 4069. also I recommend the 2080 Ti form asus using Direct CU100.
CanadianMinecrafter7 Since we harnessed the power of CO2 for electricity it's only like £10 a month.The hard drive is actually really hard to see, it's no bigger than a fingernail and spins silently at 300 thousand RPM, I've had the thing for a good 50 years and it's still going strong.
Wow, so informative! I love how Linus can explain all of this concisely, keep my interest, and educate me. I thought I would just set through the overview of the parts they selected, but I ended up watching the whole video!
Ok call me dumb but I must ask, why use 2 "different" graphic cards in the build? How does having both the "Quadro K4000" and "GeForce GTX 780" help system performance? I really don't know. I have only built a starter gaming PC with One GTX 650 TI, i7 Processors and so on.
So you are installing both drivers, for the Quadro and the GTX, but you run your monitors in the Quadro in order to benefit the display performance that it gives to you? Doesn't the two drivers conflict each other?
Some programs will use one and some will use the other, and some super specialized programs will work with the Quadro but may not work with the GTX, and the GTX is very powerful for most of applications
my man Linus has come a very long way :o so did the pc hardwares! this video popped outta nowhere on my autoplay list. anyone here in after Janurary 2022??
I was like "I dont have time for a 51 minute video, so I'll just see what kind if parts linus is using for the build". 51 minutes later, and i cant believe i watched the whole thing. Awesome video linus!
So my cousin went a little crazy and built this PC but he did 4 way SLI Titans (he water cooled the system) everything nice and smooth BUT when he tried to run the PC it won't start ¿you wanna know why? because he didn't do the water cooling test (the "put paper on every component/every water tube connector") and the 4 titans got wet, the motherboard also :P he lost almost all the things so he had to follow the instructions well and he pulled your ultimate video editing workstation with his water cooled system :D (but he lost A LOT of money with that wet problem... :V)
Normally i would laugh at something like this but as we are talking about 4 titans and a motherboard that i imagine its not from asrock, i have to say im really sorry. Unless he is a millionare, your cousin must want to kill himself after losing over $4000. Thats a pitty...
Did she buy 4 titans to edit video with!?! I hope she know's that video editing programs these days are fucused at CPU power, not Graphic intense performance. Tell her to sell the cards unless she wan't to start using 4K displays.
Ive been watching these build guides in your playlist for the last while and they are really really well put together. Really high produciton value, attention to everything & great music choice on top of it all. Really good job, your sponsors picked the right channel to sponsor!
Linus, there is no difference between quad channel memory sticks. Quad channel memory is only on the board. You could buy 2 "dual channel" sets, or 4 seperate sticks of RAM. RAM sticks are functionally the same regardless of if they are named for quad channel or dual channel.
Not necessarily, you should really used matched sticks of ram when using dual, triple, quad, or any other number of channels to help eliminate issues with compatibility. I have gone that route in the past of just buying 4 single sticks or 2 sets of dual channel sticks and even though they were all the same specifications I ran into memory stability issues constantly even though they tested fine in pairs having all 4 running in quad channel on a quad channel board was a nightmare. Buying 4 matched sticks for a quad channel configuration fixed the issues I was having.
kuhrd You're not right. There was probably something else causing your problem. Sticks of RAM do not "see" each other. In fact they do not know other sticks exist. Each stick runs on its own channel, maybe you'll have issues if you're running many high load sticks on the same channel, but that's what registered or buffered RAM is for. I assure you when you buy "quad channel memory" they do not certify it, they simply bundle 4 matching sticks in the same box. How do I know? I design integrated circuits. I know how they work, and I know what's a load of crap.
armestam While there is no real need to have "matched" sticks in quad channel, dual channel kits are not designed to be run on the X79 platform, and as such their sub-timings are programmed differently. If you're willing to go in and do everything manually then by all means grab a couple dual channel kits and run them in quad channel. Otherwise it is best to grab a memory kit that is made for the platform you intend to run. *Most* of the time it'll work anyway, but if I'm doing a build guide, I like to stick with what WILL work, not what SHOULD work. Same goes for the 8 DIMM kit that we suggested here. Most quad DIMM kits will work just fine if you double them up. Some won't because they aren't binned/programmed correctly for the more demanding load that they're going to put on the memory controller when running with 8 DIMMs.
LinusTechTips I design VLSI. If you use a quad channel controller than each channel has matching load capacitance ratings. These load ratings are standard for DDR3 specifications. If you run 4 DIMMs, one in each channel than each is accessed as its own load unit, the timings of each are independent and do not affect the other DIMMs. In this case ANY matching sticks will work without adjustment. If you are to run 8 DIMMs in total, with 2 on each channel. Than the load is effectively doubled on the memory controller's channels. This increases logical effort and parasitic delay, which can require timing adjustment for increased delay. In this case, you might need to program latency in order to counter the additional load capacitance. It might be an 8 DIMM system is adjusted, but usually the controller load rating is high enough to support 8 DIMMs without adjustment. This is why server boards with 3 or more DIMMs per channel require registered DIMMs, to perform pre-charging before the next clock. The load capacitance becomes higher than the load rating of the controller, so a register is introduced. In terms what memory distributes sell as "quad channel" DIMMs, there is no physical or programmed difference between the two. As long as the DIMMs are matching, you serve 0 advantage to purchasing special quad channel kits.
armestam The average DIY PC assembler is not going to manually adjust the memory timings to get 2 dual channel kits or even 4 single sticks to work together. Just look at the loads of returns on memory kits that many vendors like Newegg and NCIX have now and even in the past, simply because the average user does not know how to manually tweak the settings to make them all work together correctly. In my spare machine that friends use, I still have 16 GB of ram in 2 pairs of 4GB sticks and they do not work well together without lowering their timings. All 4 sticks are even from the same assembly batch according to Mushkin but they do not act the same even though they all have the same specs. By default in pairs they are fine with what the motherboard chooses for settings but the minute I add the 2 additional sticks the machine will begin to post and then freeze and restart. If I increase the timing delays of the sticks a bit on the quad channel board then it posts and boots fine and even passes a 24 hour memory test but it does not work by default so most people will assume that they are not compatible. The difference with matched sticks is that they are tested and binned to run together properly at stock settings so people can be pretty sure that they just have to install and run without messing with advanced memory settings in the bios. For those of us who have years of experience building PCs its trivial but I still don't want one of my customers calling me because they cleared the CMOS settings and now their PC won't boot.
A-MA-ZING! Linus, this definitely was THE, ultimate build guide! You definitely are the most professional on this field, it's incredible how smoothly you describe everything, with barely any mistakes! Have a good one Linus & Slick! Keep up the good work! ;D
Easiest case I worked with was the one I used for my ol'ladys system. It also happened to be the cheapest. The Antec GX500. It has bowed out sides that made cable management a breeze, and looks much better in person then I expected. Antec GX500 www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129191 The only issue I remember having with this case was the PCIE slot covers are the type that aren't replaceable. Other then that, it's a good case for the money. I got lucky and caught it on sale for $35, but even at $50 I consider it a good buy. It easily fit the 212 evo I used, has a built in fan controller, keeps the system very cool with CPU/GPU OC, and fits up to a 15" GPU. Kind of off topic, but that thing is a sweet budget option, and I enjoyed working with it more then my Corsair air 540, or Rosewill R5.
Hello Linus, Maybe this build would be nice for the next build log (RBWB (Red-Black-WhiteBuild) by Corsair, Asus, WD and intel): Case Corsair Carbide Air 540 MB ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition CPU Intel Core i7-4930k (OC:4,5GHz) CPU Cooler Corsair Hydro H100i (Corsair Link) Memory Corsair Dominator PLatinum 2133MHz 32GB CL9 1.5V GPU 2X ASUS GeForce GTX 780 DirectCU II OC HDD 2X WD Black 2TB SSD ASUS RAIDR Express PCIe SSD 240GB PSU Corsair AX1200i (Corsair Link) PSU cables Corsair Individually Sleeved Modular Cables (White) Regards, DutchGaming40
I built my editing computer for under $12... Specs: i9 5770k 32-core CPU 128gb ram GeForce 890ti graphics card 3000 watt power supply 5tb ssd 14TB hdd Asrock extreme 8 motherboard Im able to get some sick edits with it, take my newest video for example.
I don't know if you're going to read this but I highly recommend it for pros even if I am not one. My FT-02 has superb cooling, meaning that my parts will not overheat. My fiance got an FT-03 for her gaming rig because it's a good mix of professional minimalism and portability
+David Way I have watched ALL his build guide videos, I use them to soak up knowledge and experience from him to build a high end pc in a couple of months.
This video was amazing, perfect content and editing, incredible techs and you guys are just too good! :P I really loved also the way you splitted the video in two, one for the actual building and the last one for the tests
Will RAID 1 decrease speed, as opposed to no RAID, due to the system writing the data to both drives? Likewise, is RAID 10 slower than RAID 0 for the same reason?
Maybe if it was overclocked. Search for "Core i7-3970X Extreme Review: Can It Stomp An Eight-Core Xeon?" in Google . I have a 3970X and I use it for CAD and RTL based logic design / simulation / synthesis and it is as fast as hell.
Yeah I have seen it. Looks pretty amazing. To bad its discontinued on newegg. I might just go with the 4930k and OC, should be similar. I heard the Sandybridge-E were just xeons that had cores shut off.
Infinit3Enigma Actually, the Sandy Bridge-E processors are the 6 core Sandy Bridge-EP Xeons with some features disabled. Same goes for the Ivy Bridge-E processors ( ie, w.r.t. IB-EP Xeons ). As for overclocking, a 4930K costs half the price of a 4960X and can be overclocked for similar performance but if you want the ultimate go with a 4960X and overclock that :)
Ahaha I see, but budget is my limiting factor right now, if i go with the top end E processors my gpu will suffer because I won't be able to afford it. I would have to wait till April 2014, I want to buld by Feb 2014 :P Should have 2500 by then xD
This was a great video to watch. Linus, thank you to you and your team. Your advice about building a new computer has definitely been informative. That is great machine. I am sure your team will be enjoying editing on that machine. :-)
LinusTechTips Linus, can you please, please make an "Ultimate 3D Modelling Budget Computer Build" either Firepro or Quadro? Greatly appreciated, hasn't been done before. I do 3D Modelling work.
I hope this helps someone: I came here looking for the way to make a GTX and a Quadro work toguether in the same rig. At the end, I just connected a K4000 (without the GTX), installed its drivers, turned of the PC, disconected it, connected a 980 in a different PCI, installed its drivers, and then connected both at the same time. I couldn't left the 980 in the first PCI, maybe because I had installed long before the Quadro (idk), so I moved them to the 2nd (for the GTX) and 4th (for the Quadro) slots, this to that it would recognize first the GTX. Now my GeForce Experience shows both of them, and even though it now says it can't optimize my games, I can do it manually, so... Well, I hope someone finds this useful, someone else whom also came here looking for an answer of how did Linus installed both a GTX and a Quadro and never told how the hell to make them work (lol).
Thank you so much for that, at first it looked like he was just discussing the differences, then he just drops them in and I was like..... Uh. But anyway it's the board that makes it possible right? It wouldn't work as just a consumer grade board, it would need to be something like a ws board right?
I think you should not do a build video per say but have the systems built in order to show potential buyers what they could get for there money. you could do a overview of the Systems while your explaining the parts you picked and why.
I've been wanting to see someone actually build a computer in this case for a long while. this is the only case that seemed interesting for me. simple, metal, and has lots of room.
marlonpsn Do you know if this is setup with only the Quadro driver, or both the Quadro and Geforce driver. I'm going to try this config out, (however not with these particular cards) but if anyone has some knowledge it would be appreciated.

Yup, professionals will spend about $1500-2000 for a good computer but then they need at least two monitors and those monitors will most likely by at 2.5K to 4K resolution and doing that you will spend at least $5000 on your rig.
considering that one of those quadros can set you back $1500 alone, you could easily break 5k. When you move to more professional rigs (xeon + workstation mobo+ workstation components) then you're talking about 20k ++
Spending $5K on an editing rig is definitely on the low end just for the tower not including additional peripherals like monitors and special editing boards. The last time I built an editing rig for someone it cost nearly 15k just for the workstation tower. The monitors and editing boards added an additional ~5K to the overall price of the rig. It was all setup to handle 4k video.
It's massive overkill. They think they need 64gb fo ram and Dual CPU's to stitch together 1080p footage. No idea why. Only time it really makes sense is if you re doing something on a large commercial scale. I laugh every time i see a youtuber build a 5k editing PC to stick 1080p gaming footage together.
***** Some of our projects are more complicated than that. They just don't all end up on the LinusTechTips channel. The UA-cam editing machine is a quad core Lynnfield with 16GB of RAM and a GTX 285. We know this is overkill for cutting together 1080p footage. With that said, we're moving to 2.5K and 4K exclusively soon... so we'll need to upgrade that machine!!
HowDoen even if you went to AMD parts. idk if that would be enough. maybe 600. my tower will be almost 1500 when i get it. I won't wanna get anything cheap.
Enjoyed your "Ultimate Video Build". Good job, a couple of errors, but I know how that goes when doing these. I like your build choices. Good stuff and as you say "sweet spot". I calculated this build about $7,700 Not bad for a screaming box for video editors. I've priced out other systems by firms at $10,000 - $14,000 for similar system. LOVE the case and that hard drive system. Easy to work on and 8 drives SWEET!
+Volcom House 2 1TB drives isn't a lot. And why two 1TB drives? 2TB drives were invented. Also the drives are going in RAID 10 so he'd only getting 8TB of storage.
+DevilMaxGaming because he's going for redundancy and striping. Raid 1 = Redundancy just in case a drive dies, he's have a mirrored set ready to go without too much fuss. Raid 0 = striping and will allow faster reads and writes overall. If there were only 2 drives, then Raid 1+0 would not be possible as the drives would have to be either mirrored ( raid 1) or striped (rapid 0).
+DevilMaxGaming A quick wiki search will give more details, but here's the basics of raid 0 and raid 1: Raid 0 = striping. what this means is that the computer will write/read to/from all drives involved at the same time. The benefit is that the computer will have more bandwidth to write on. Its the basic difference of sending 100 cars down a 4 lane road, vs sending 100 cars down a 8 lane road; More cars can drive side by side, and thus flow faster (theoretically). The biggest drawback to raid 0 is that if one drive dies, then all data is lost. this is a huge risk, especially if we are talking losing 2TB of data because a single 250GB drive died. Raid 1 = mirroring. Basically whatever is written on one drive is later copied over to another drive completely. This means that if the main drive dies, then you have an imediate backup. Raid 1 is useful if dataloss would cripple overall functionality of a business, or if you just want to have redundancy with your storage. Raid 1 is conceptually an automated backup for your drive. Sidenote: Linus made a "Fast as possible" video covering RAID types. I would recommend checking that out as he explains it way better than I can via a comment :D
Okay I'm getting that Silverstone case. I don't care I don't have any hardware to put inside. I will put my bed inside and LIVE in there! Absolutely loved it. Innovative.
Then again the 8350 (AMD's competitor) is 40$ cheaper. Not to mention the motherboard pricing. Also, the reason I like to support AMD is because it's kind of the underdog. It has about 1/10th of intels budget, and it's fantastic for the price range.
amd is a bit more budget optimized only because of apus. dont get me wrong, for the money apus are great, but if i have more than 400 for cpu and graphics i would go intel. the 8350 has more cores, but they are less powerful. the 4670k/3570k has less cores but they are more powerful per core.
The raid configuration Linus talks about requires double the amount of space that you want. For 8TB of usable space in Raid 1, or 10, you need 16TB of storage.
Rootworm41 Raid 1 and 10 uses redundancy specifically keeping your data safe. The 4 4TB drives add up to 16TB, but the Raid config, only allows 8TB of space to be for the user's accessible storage.
I would've gone with a full tower case for a build like this. It would've made the cable management a lot easier, but Linus did great with the cable management in this case.
The Xeon is a sensible option yes, but 6 core i7's are not a dumb idea, not only do they far outperform their Xeon counterparts if your gaming ecording\live streaming but they also have faster memory support, which will result in some applications running faster\taking less time. Finally the i7 is more thermally tolerant and, if you are so inclined, you can overclock i7 far better (more stable, higher mhz) than a equivalent Xeon in most cases. Having said all that unlike the Xeon you do miss out on duel socket support, have higher TDP and power use, can't have more than 6 cores and you lack ECM support, thus I would not use a i7 for absolutely critical tasks or in a server. This however does not invalidate the i7 for most workstations as the tasks they preform don't don't need the above features, especially if you offload the worst of your cpu grinding work to render farms, and you do get aster memory for your trouble. All in all I would recommend the average workstation user to go for the cheaper i7 6 core of the time, a professional video card, 32gb 9you'll know if you need more already, most tasks don't) of 1866-2400 cl
areaProductions I agree on the internal graphics front, and depending on your location and requirements the price to performance of the XEon can be higher, I just don't see that for a 2011 socket (hence E5 or E7 Xeon) your actually better off with that choice. On the other hand I think that the haswell 1150 socket E3 1230 and 1240 v3 are far better value than the i7 4770 if your not looking to overclock. If your getting into overclocking try the AMD lines, either the Xeons or 6 core haswells aren't ideal for it. For the money the FX-9370 is my pick for overclocking, it comes with a decent water cooler and high speed from factory and is capable of being pushed to 5+ ghz. At this speed it'll beat the i7, even mildly overclocked ones. Its also cheaper outright than a intel 4770k, let alone when you add the cost of the cooler, because lets face it, if your into overclocking the intel stock air cooler isn't hanging round long. Finally the FX series supports faster ram than the haswell chips, although all these features do come at the cost of increased power draw (as if you care if your overclocking anyway). If your open loop cooling you can sell the stock water cooler from the FX-9370 for about $50usd if you live in the world of affordable electronics and spying by the NSA, or close to $100Aud around here where there's a few roo's loose, so this is going to subsidize your CPU water block nicely. Personally the low TDP, power use and plenty of gaming performance mean I'm probably going the intel route if I upgrade this cycle... my core2duo that powers my laptop has served me well for long enough, even if it is rock stable at over 3ghz for 24hr+ full load applications (video rendering, re encoding ect takes a while on a older cpu, so good thing...). Anyway, I do agree with you about Xeons, there a good thing mostly, but I honestly don't recommend one if your doing the build from the video.. they don't like games as much (driver problems mostly), only still have similar price to performance to the i7 6core and won't allow you to use faster memory than 1600mhz. If your going for a server type task, a low clock speed many core Xeon will do better, if you need a faster CPU than a 6 core i7, then again go Xeon, for duel socket its your only option anyway and its likely cost effective to be duel socket if you need much more performance than a top i7 or entry level E5 has to offer. However unlike the entry level six core, I would never recommend the X edition to anyone not building a gaming show rig, seriously for the money you could have a duel socket and kick the $%^& out of the six core for most work loads. Besides even a top i5 is plenty fast to run most modern games.. why people go more than the 4770 for gaming is beyond me.
Not nessesarly... regarding LGA 1150 socket E3 xeons you can typically get a 1230v3 for less money than a i7, and your getting almost the same speed, still have hyper-threading, 4 cores and will have less heat and power use to boot, all you really miss out on is the integrated graphics nobody uses.... that sounds a good deal, hardly overpriced.
awesome vid. did not know if i could do quadro and regular video card. did not know i was going to need a different display. love the addition of giving options to step up or step down each option. well done.
reminiscing on these videos is so cool, youtube randomly starting recommending these old videos to me and this has been so amazing !!!
this video autoplayed for me after watching one of his 2021 videos...and man are things different now lol
same hahaha
Wtf sameeee
Hahaha same, as I heard his old intro I was like wait second.. 🤔 ehh I’ll still watch it.. 😂
I am still on x99 lol. 4k is still silky smooth to edit with. 8k with a proxy no issues. The titan XP still renders as fast as a 1080ti. I just haven't needed to upgrade
Same. I wouldn't say no to this setup now though 😂
Therapist: beardless Linus isnt real.
UA-cam auto play at 6am:
This is eerily similar to what just happened to me. This video autoplayed for me at 5:54am and I was deeply disturbed by his lack of facial hair
I feel old when this is what I am still way more used to Linus looking like
Thanks for kicking it back old school with this one youtube.
2021 checking in.
I went trough the whole video, it's not like I don't know how to build a PC.. and I bet quite a few of the viewers feel the same. But rather it was entertaining. I was quite impressed by the case.. and the song at the end :D.
52 minutes of my life that was well spent. Great video with some great ideas. Thanks Linus and all the crew.
So I quite literally just watched you guys talked about test-driving Linux as a daily driver for the next month and this was the auto-play video right after it.
same here. algorithm having nostalgia?
@@MrKonDumb I think it was an instance of Maybe UA-cam listening to what I was talking about. I was talking to my friends today about my old Core 2 Quad q6600 what's the last desktop that I built and how I was really excited to finally be able to build a new one
@@JoshuaEatonCA I got it in auto playlist for no reason.
Linus, I literally sat through this whole thing (I'm not building a workstation) and it was pretty informative and entertaining. Good Job to you guys :)
I love how profesional Linus' videos got over time! Remember when he used to film alone in his garage/storage room?
The main reason I look forward to these build guides is because I love the intro... just so much
Linus, have you guys considered updating this video with the more recent tech available for 2015?
not much has changed. other than the CPU i dont think there is much that could change in there.
You can use a i7-5930K or even i7-5960X with an X99-E-WS motherboard. A Titan X or a GTX 980 can substitute the 780. Change the SSD to a Samsung 850-Pro.
Anthony Sparta Anthony Sparta Yes, looking into the i7-5820K, it is just a 5930K with 40 PCI-E lanes. I apologize for my stupidity.
***** The 5930K and 5820K have the same die, Intel has just disabled some PCI-E Lanes.
Jason Bradley I built my own version of this build and have been using it for a year or so and still find this a great workstation. I made a couple of my own choices such as liquid cooling. I would be interested in seeing an update to this build. What preferences for newer components such as motherboard, cpu and graphic cards as well as other components would be on the menu for a new build?
Again, you can update your Mobo to a X99 E WS, CPU to an i7-5820/5930K, A Titan X or 980 with a Quadro 4200. Other than those, the build is relatively new.
Can you please do an updated 2016 Ultimate Video Editing Workstation build.
Just use the updated variants of these parts.
With Dual Xeon E5-26xx V4 please!
I did test such configuration and it didn't go well. One OCd i7 wold do better job.
2017!
Decided, but what semi budget GPU?
The UA-cam algorithm brought us back together.
Hi, First thanks for the Videos. I am learning a lot !
Recently I built a PC for better Video editing performance. I used to work with a laptop and now PC, I don't see any appreciable improvement.
Old - Lap top - Dell Inspiron, 2.8 GHz Intel I5, 6GB DDR3 RAM, Windows 8., WD Black
New PC - Intel I7 6700 3.40 Ghz, 16 GB Corsair RAM, MotherBoard - Gigabyte B150M-D3H-CF, Windows 8.1, WD Blue
Softwares: Adobe Premier Pro CC, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop
Camera: Canon 7D Mark II
Improvements with New PC
1) Lightroom & Photoshop doesn't freezes ( Used to have loading, processing, sudden shutdown of app with Laptop)
2) Premier pro - Quicker imports of larger files, Could work with 50 fps shots (50 Mbps), Videos of 25 Mbps doesn't freezes.
Issues with New PC
1) Export Time - Takes more time than my laptop
2) When working with Adjustment layers, multiple layers the export time even longer (Laptop was better)
3) Couldn't work with All Editing Video format - 80 Mbps. Yet I didn't work with 4K videos, I don't think i will have good performance.
I really don't understand why I have lower performance with higher System configuration.
My Question : Do I compulsorily go for an Graphic Card, What should I do for better performance ?
(I don't play Video games, For now I will be only working on Premier Pro with 1080p Videos, I am no working with After effects)
Please advice !
(PS: During Premier Pro working Editing/ Export, Laptop takes 4 GB of 6 GB RAM, CPU at 80 to 90% and new PC takes up to 12 GB of 16 GB RAM, CPU at 50%)
Hi INDISHORT,
Your issue is that it seems like you have only one Hard Drive (WD Blue can also be 5400 rpm, which would be bad for editing).
For video editing purposes, you should ABSOLUTELY have several hard drives... if you're only using one, your drive has to: read the program, interact with your OS, read your media files, export your video - all at the same time.
I use this HD configuration for Premiere:
1. SSD 250gb (Operating system + programs)
2. SSD 120gb (premiere cache files, render files)
3. 2x2TB WD black (raid 0) (media files, projects)
4. 4TB WD blue (exports, backup)
You don't necessarily need a raid 0, and you don't necessarily need the second SSD for cache files, but make sure you have a dedicated drive for your OS + programs and that you're exporting on a third drive. That makes export times much much longer.
For the graphic card: yes, you have to get one. It will give you exceptionally faster exports. You don't have to get anything fancy... something around $300 (look at GeForce cards supported by Premiere before buying).
Once you have your GPU, you have to enable the mercury engine in Premiere and you're good to go.
Good luck
Thanks LinusTechTips, you're the only person I've been able to find that takes the time to do builds with Quadro cards and professional features in mind.
I'm commenting in 3069 using the new youtube "Comment Through Time" feature
My system is:
Intel i32 999990z @3TetraHertz
4096GB of DDR82 RAM @ 32GHz
Nvidia GTXXX 1440Ti in 24 way SLI
40TB SSD
4 million TB HDD
Asus ROG Z8012 - X
3000000 Watt PSU
quad 1024k Monitors
It runs Minecraft 4 at 40 million fps in 1024k and 6D
It costs £3000000000.99
Hmmph, I think it would take them only 5 years to reach 1440 ti and I doubt Minecraft will only be on 4 at the time...
Yeah i really need to get an upgrade, I've had this setup for a thousand years, since they figured out that whole immortality thing...
u r the one
I am pretty sure that HDD's are out of use in 3069. If not please tell me and how fast it is. also what is your power bill using 3000000 watt PSU. nice build otherwise.
EDIT - if you had it for 1000 years more, then what the ***k is a HDD doing in 4069. also I recommend the 2080 Ti form asus using Direct CU100.
CanadianMinecrafter7 Since we harnessed the power of CO2 for electricity it's only like £10 a month.The hard drive is actually really hard to see, it's no bigger than a fingernail and spins silently at 300 thousand RPM, I've had the thing for a good 50 years and it's still going strong.
Wow, so informative!
I love how Linus can explain all of this concisely, keep my interest, and educate me. I thought I would just set through the overview of the parts they selected, but I ended up watching the whole video!
Ok call me dumb but I must ask, why use 2 "different" graphic cards in the build? How does having both the "Quadro K4000" and "GeForce GTX 780" help system performance?
I really don't know. I have only built a starter gaming PC with One GTX 650 TI, i7 Processors and so on.
for get it at 50:20 in the video it get's explained.
So you are installing both drivers, for the Quadro and the GTX, but you run your monitors in the Quadro in order to benefit the display performance that it gives to you? Doesn't the two drivers conflict each other?
Some programs will use one and some will use the other, and some super specialized programs will work with the Quadro but may not work with the GTX, and the GTX is very powerful for most of applications
***** llibert333 Μοσχόβης Ιωάννης ***** Thanks for all the reply's :-)

U MAD? read the title, it says ULTIMATE.
my man Linus has come a very long way :o so did the pc hardwares! this video popped outta nowhere on my autoplay list.
anyone here in after Janurary 2022??
I was like "I dont have time for a 51 minute video, so I'll just see what kind if parts linus is using for the build". 51 minutes later, and i cant believe i watched the whole thing. Awesome video linus!
So my cousin went a little crazy and built this PC but he did 4 way SLI Titans (he water cooled the system) everything nice and smooth BUT when he tried to run the PC it won't start ¿you wanna know why? because he didn't do the water cooling test (the "put paper on every component/every water tube connector") and the 4 titans got wet, the motherboard also :P he lost almost all the things so he had to follow the instructions well and he pulled your ultimate video editing workstation with his water cooled system :D (but he lost A LOT of money with that wet problem... :V)
...did he not claim warranty?
LenChewbacca nope, he does a ball of paper with all the warranty and stuff and throws it away :V
Normally i would laugh at something like this but as we are talking about 4 titans and a motherboard that i imagine its not from asrock, i have to say im really sorry. Unless he is a millionare, your cousin must want to kill himself after losing over $4000. Thats a pitty...
GamerV11 Your cousin is a spastic.
Did she buy 4 titans to edit video with!?! I hope she know's that video editing programs these days are fucused at CPU power, not Graphic intense performance. Tell her to sell the cards unless she wan't to start using 4K displays.
I know how to build a pc but I watched the entire video just because I found it entertaining
i wish linus can start building budget builds..
Loved the soundtrack at the end guys added that little somethin' somethin'. Great video altogether as well.
Ive been watching these build guides in your playlist for the last while and they are really really well put together. Really high produciton value, attention to everything & great music choice on top of it all. Really good job, your sponsors picked the right channel to sponsor!
Linus, there is no difference between quad channel memory sticks. Quad channel memory is only on the board. You could buy 2 "dual channel" sets, or 4 seperate sticks of RAM. RAM sticks are functionally the same regardless of if they are named for quad channel or dual channel.
Not necessarily, you should really used matched sticks of ram when using dual, triple, quad, or any other number of channels to help eliminate issues with compatibility. I have gone that route in the past of just buying 4 single sticks or 2 sets of dual channel sticks and even though they were all the same specifications I ran into memory stability issues constantly even though they tested fine in pairs having all 4 running in quad channel on a quad channel board was a nightmare. Buying 4 matched sticks for a quad channel configuration fixed the issues I was having.
kuhrd You're not right. There was probably something else causing your problem. Sticks of RAM do not "see" each other. In fact they do not know other sticks exist. Each stick runs on its own channel, maybe you'll have issues if you're running many high load sticks on the same channel, but that's what registered or buffered RAM is for. I assure you when you buy "quad channel memory" they do not certify it, they simply bundle 4 matching sticks in the same box.
How do I know? I design integrated circuits. I know how they work, and I know what's a load of crap.
armestam While there is no real need to have "matched" sticks in quad channel, dual channel kits are not designed to be run on the X79 platform, and as such their sub-timings are programmed differently. If you're willing to go in and do everything manually then by all means grab a couple dual channel kits and run them in quad channel. Otherwise it is best to grab a memory kit that is made for the platform you intend to run. *Most* of the time it'll work anyway, but if I'm doing a build guide, I like to stick with what WILL work, not what SHOULD work. Same goes for the 8 DIMM kit that we suggested here. Most quad DIMM kits will work just fine if you double them up. Some won't because they aren't binned/programmed correctly for the more demanding load that they're going to put on the memory controller when running with 8 DIMMs.
LinusTechTips I design VLSI. If you use a quad channel controller than each channel has matching load capacitance ratings. These load ratings are standard for DDR3 specifications. If you run 4 DIMMs, one in each channel than each is accessed as its own load unit, the timings of each are independent and do not affect the other DIMMs. In this case ANY matching sticks will work without adjustment.
If you are to run 8 DIMMs in total, with 2 on each channel. Than the load is effectively doubled on the memory controller's channels. This increases logical effort and parasitic delay, which can require timing adjustment for increased delay. In this case, you might need to program latency in order to counter the additional load capacitance. It might be an 8 DIMM system is adjusted, but usually the controller load rating is high enough to support 8 DIMMs without adjustment.
This is why server boards with 3 or more DIMMs per channel require registered DIMMs, to perform pre-charging before the next clock. The load capacitance becomes higher than the load rating of the controller, so a register is introduced.
In terms what memory distributes sell as "quad channel" DIMMs, there is no physical or programmed difference between the two. As long as the DIMMs are matching, you serve 0 advantage to purchasing special quad channel kits.
armestam The average DIY PC assembler is not going to manually adjust the memory timings to get 2 dual channel kits or even 4 single sticks to work together. Just look at the loads of returns on memory kits that many vendors like Newegg and NCIX have now and even in the past, simply because the average user does not know how to manually tweak the settings to make them all work together correctly. In my spare machine that friends use, I still have 16 GB of ram in 2 pairs of 4GB sticks and they do not work well together without lowering their timings. All 4 sticks are even from the same assembly batch according to Mushkin but they do not act the same even though they all have the same specs. By default in pairs they are fine with what the motherboard chooses for settings but the minute I add the 2 additional sticks the machine will begin to post and then freeze and restart. If I increase the timing delays of the sticks a bit on the quad channel board then it posts and boots fine and even passes a 24 hour memory test but it does not work by default so most people will assume that they are not compatible. The difference with matched sticks is that they are tested and binned to run together properly at stock settings so people can be pretty sure that they just have to install and run without messing with advanced memory settings in the bios. For those of us who have years of experience building PCs its trivial but I still don't want one of my customers calling me because they cleared the CMOS settings and now their PC won't boot.
I too like shouting "ultimate" at the start of video titles.
can we be friends?
LinusTechTips
No, but we can circle each other. Google doesn't understand friends.
***** circle like 2 cats ready to fight? huh...
LinusTechTips I'd put you in all of my circles.
...
Wait.
LinusTechTips We can :P
A-MA-ZING! Linus, this definitely was THE, ultimate build guide! You definitely are the most professional on this field, it's incredible how smoothly you describe everything, with barely any mistakes! Have a good one Linus & Slick! Keep up the good work! ;D
Great video man.. Perfect speed of delivery for so much info
Can we all just appreciate how much of a banger the intro music is to this guide? 😯
Easiest case I worked with was the one I used for my ol'ladys system. It also happened to be the cheapest. The Antec GX500. It has bowed out sides that made cable management a breeze, and looks much better in person then I expected.
Antec GX500
www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129191
The only issue I remember having with this case was the PCIE slot covers are the type that aren't replaceable. Other then that, it's a good case for the money. I got lucky and caught it on sale for $35, but even at $50 I consider it a good buy. It easily fit the 212 evo I used, has a built in fan controller, keeps the system very cool with CPU/GPU OC, and fits up to a 15" GPU.
Kind of off topic, but that thing is a sweet budget option, and I enjoyed working with it more then my Corsair air 540, or Rosewill R5.
Hello Linus,
Maybe this build would be nice for the next build log (RBWB (Red-Black-WhiteBuild) by Corsair, Asus, WD and intel):

I built my editing computer for under $12...
Specs:
i9 5770k 32-core CPU
128gb ram
GeForce 890ti graphics card
3000 watt power supply
5tb ssd
14TB hdd
Asrock extreme 8 motherboard
Im able to get some sick edits with it, take my newest video for example.
can it run crysis?
Jonathan Alvarez of course that can run crysis
Jonathan Alvarez yes
***** i already now that the computer dosent exist
Dude, you'll get sooo many FPS. #pcmasterrace
I had a GTX770 DirectCU2 and it was a beast back in the day ... its still working as an office/lite gaming GPU with my friend.
Best case choice there - I recommend Silverstone to all my clients. Elegant, solidly built, positive pressure air flow with all filtered intakes.
I don't know if you're going to read this but I highly recommend it for pros even if I am not one. My FT-02 has superb cooling, meaning that my parts will not overheat. My fiance got an FT-03 for her gaming rig because it's a good mix of professional minimalism and portability
Can you do an updated one
Quadro + Geforce??? like the idea could you develop this more. What are the benefits? Any other idea about this? thanks!!
You could get a more affordable Quadro and get a GeForce card dedicated for CUDA for more performance.
Thanks for the answer but will this be possible? is there any conflict between the 2 cards and the OS?
+Juan Mosquera Yes it is possible. Otherwise he wouldn't do it.
I bet nobody is actually going to build this thing, we're just watching it for the Linus banter
+David Way words of wisdom but seriously i just watch cuz im into some weird pc purberty phase
+David Way I have watched ALL his build guide videos, I use them to soak up knowledge and experience from him to build a high end pc in a couple of months.
+Tyler Truong same here
+Tyler Truong So basically you're like me and you just want to know all the things and conquer the world?
This video was amazing, perfect content and editing, incredible techs and you guys are just too good! :P
I really loved also the way you splitted the video in two, one for the actual building and the last one for the tests
Only reason I watch this is because of Linus like I could build this in my sleep but it just cool to see how Linus does things!
Update this please
Will RAID 1 decrease speed, as opposed to no RAID, due to the system writing the data to both drives? Likewise, is RAID 10 slower than RAID 0 for the same reason?
Is the i7 4930k great for high end computing tasks such as engineering/scientific computing?
Maybe if it was overclocked. Search for "Core i7-3970X Extreme Review: Can It Stomp An Eight-Core Xeon?" in Google . I have a 3970X and I use it for CAD and RTL based logic design / simulation / synthesis and it is as fast as hell.
Yeah I have seen it. Looks pretty amazing. To bad its discontinued on newegg. I might just go with the 4930k and OC, should be similar. I heard the Sandybridge-E were just xeons that had cores shut off.
Infinit3Enigma Actually, the Sandy Bridge-E processors are the 6 core Sandy Bridge-EP Xeons with some features disabled. Same goes for the Ivy Bridge-E processors ( ie, w.r.t. IB-EP Xeons ). As for overclocking, a 4930K costs half the price of a 4960X and can be overclocked for similar performance but if you want the ultimate go with a 4960X and overclock that :)
Ahaha I see, but budget is my limiting factor right now, if i go with the top end E processors my gpu will suffer because I won't be able to afford it. I would have to wait till April 2014, I want to buld by Feb 2014 :P Should have 2500 by then xD
Infinit3Enigma wait longer, nvidia will release their Maxwell GPUs :)
I've wondered about building a computer with both a GTX and quadro card before, now I know you can with excellent performance. Great build Linus.
Superb, well informed and comprehensive build guide. You simply can't get better on UA-cam. Thanks a bunch.
Eminems Tech Tips.
UA-cams recommendation in 2021.
This was a great video to watch. Linus, thank you to you and your team. Your advice about building a new computer has definitely been informative. That is great machine. I am sure your team will be enjoying editing on that machine. :-)
I already watched this 10 years ago.. no need to recommend it now
That Silverstone case seems to be pretty amazing with its options and space. Thanks for showing it off Linus.
this guy knows so incredibly much it makes me wanna eat bread. seriously I'm absolutely amazed.
LinusTechTips Linus, can you please, please make an "Ultimate 3D Modelling Budget Computer Build" either Firepro or Quadro? Greatly appreciated, hasn't been done before. I do 3D Modelling work.
I hope this helps someone: I came here looking for the way to make a GTX and a Quadro work toguether in the same rig. At the end, I just connected a K4000 (without the GTX), installed its drivers, turned of the PC, disconected it, connected a 980 in a different PCI, installed its drivers, and then connected both at the same time. I couldn't left the 980 in the first PCI, maybe because I had installed long before the Quadro (idk), so I moved them to the 2nd (for the GTX) and 4th (for the Quadro) slots, this to that it would recognize first the GTX. Now my GeForce Experience shows both of them, and even though it now says it can't optimize my games, I can do it manually, so...
Well, I hope someone finds this useful, someone else whom also came here looking for an answer of how did Linus installed both a GTX and a Quadro and never told how the hell to make them work (lol).
Thank you so much for that, at first it looked like he was just discussing the differences, then he just drops them in and I was like..... Uh. But anyway it's the board that makes it possible right? It wouldn't work as just a consumer grade board, it would need to be something like a ws board right?
Linus do a Dual Socket Haswell Build
There is no haswell based dual socket capable solution yet.
I just recently did a major upgrade, the same CPU, GFX and motherboard. And I have to say, I'm very happy about the performance.
There's something about your videos that makes them so amazing!
Hey Linus, is there any chance we could get the full version of the intro song? I like it sooo much :)
I think you should not do a build video per say but have the systems built in order to show potential buyers what they could get for there money. you could do a overview of the Systems while your explaining the parts you picked and why.
yes but build videos take a long time to edit as a quick overview they could probably do in one take.
Why dont people show the hardest part of making a computer in the build video: installing windows and software
Because the O/S is not and ever be part of a build. A build is hardware only.
all you have to do is insert in the disc or usb (id os is on usb) when powering on and let the computer do the rest of things.
Installing an O/S hard? Optimizing is opinion, actual installation is VIRTUALLY automatic.
software install is like:
step one install windows
step two install all you're software with ninite
if you dont know how to instal windows then you can"t be building an computer and there are tons of how to"s for instaling windows
I've been wanting to see someone actually build a computer in this case for a long while. this is the only case that seemed interesting for me. simple, metal, and has lots of room.
I can't believe I just watched all that even though I'm never going to make a build like this. Good job linus!
I can't believe I watched the whole thing! O_O
wish he'd shown how to do the bios update
How do you get the Quadro and Geforce card to work together?
***** Ever heard anything about SLI? Both of them are nVidia, so they are able to work together in SLI.
So I think they don't even work together, but the program actually picks the GPU it needs.
Its not an SLI configuration, the 780 is only for physix in it. so the cards don´t work together the 780 only supports the quadro card.
marlonpsn Do you know if this is setup with only the Quadro driver, or both the Quadro and Geforce driver. I'm going to try this config out, (however not with these particular cards) but if anyone has some knowledge it would be appreciated.
both drivers must be installed but the simple geforce card isnt important at all
Nice ending music. Keep up the good work Linus. The quality of your videos are improving a lot. :)
These look like a hell of a lot of work. Thanks for taking the time.
why am i here, what year is it?

***** now that's a beefy system!
Jonah Wright Yeah, I ran a test of your rig man... Only 20 FPS on minesweeper. What gives?!
People spend 5k on editing rigs???????
Yup, professionals will spend about $1500-2000 for a good computer but then they need at least two monitors and those monitors will most likely by at 2.5K to 4K resolution and doing that you will spend at least $5000 on your rig.
considering that one of those quadros can set you back $1500 alone, you could easily break 5k. When you move to more professional rigs (xeon + workstation mobo+ workstation components) then you're talking about 20k ++
Spending $5K on an editing rig is definitely on the low end just for the tower not including additional peripherals like monitors and special editing boards. The last time I built an editing rig for someone it cost nearly 15k just for the workstation tower. The monitors and editing boards added an additional ~5K to the overall price of the rig. It was all setup to handle 4k video.
It's massive overkill. They think they need 64gb fo ram and Dual CPU's to stitch together 1080p footage. No idea why. Only time it really makes sense is if you re doing something on a large commercial scale. I laugh every time i see a youtuber build a 5k editing PC to stick 1080p gaming footage together.
***** Some of our projects are more complicated than that. They just don't all end up on the LinusTechTips channel. The UA-cam editing machine is a quad core Lynnfield with 16GB of RAM and a GTX 285. We know this is overkill for cutting together 1080p footage. With that said, we're moving to 2.5K and 4K exclusively soon... so we'll need to upgrade that machine!!
This is still my favourite build guide! I don't know why but it just really sticks with me!
This video autoplayed after Linus/Luke try Linux part 1… well that is YT algorithm at its best I guess. Nice to see beardless baby Linus.
What about a 2017 version? :)
Imagine getting likes from linus for my comments in 2022 for this 8 yrs old video 🗿
Can you show us a budget video editing pc? XD
depends on how much is in the budget
around $500
HowDoen good budget would be around 800-900
aw, i guess i need to save more :'(
HowDoen even if you went to AMD parts. idk if that would be enough. maybe 600. my tower will be almost 1500 when i get it. I won't wanna get anything cheap.
I watched this from start to finish and I love this tech stuff !
My dream is for a 4930k to be sweet spot to me.
Geek porn....thanks man. Time to build!
Do not eat the motherboard
+Avery Alexander random but makes sense....i guess
But it looks so tasty...
lol
What do i bake it at?
i ate the motherboard NOW WHERES THE DRYWALL
Thanks guys been stuck for ideas. Its awesome to c how far u guys have come
Enjoyed your "Ultimate Video Build". Good job, a couple of errors, but I know how that goes when doing these. I like your build choices. Good stuff and as you say "sweet spot". I calculated this build about $7,700 Not bad for a screaming box for video editors. I've priced out other systems by firms at $10,000 - $14,000 for similar system.
LOVE the case and that hard drive system. Easy to work on and 8 drives SWEET!
Linus: "you will need a lot of storage"
Me: "So what like two 1 TB drives"
Linus: "so we will be running 4 4TB had drives"
Me: "WTF?????????????????"
+Volcom House 2 1TB drives isn't a lot. And why two 1TB drives? 2TB drives were invented. Also the drives are going in RAID 10 so he'd only getting 8TB of storage.
+Infinite Zero Then why use four drives?
+DevilMaxGaming because he's going for redundancy and striping. Raid 1 = Redundancy just in case a drive dies, he's have a mirrored set ready to go without too much fuss. Raid 0 = striping and will allow faster reads and writes overall.
If there were only 2 drives, then Raid 1+0 would not be possible as the drives would have to be either mirrored ( raid 1) or striped (rapid 0).
CulBlu Vlogs Oh okay thanks. I still don't understand the difference between raids and redundancy mirroring ect.
+DevilMaxGaming A quick wiki search will give more details, but here's the basics of raid 0 and raid 1:
Raid 0 = striping. what this means is that the computer will write/read to/from all drives involved at the same time. The benefit is that the computer will have more bandwidth to write on. Its the basic difference of sending 100 cars down a 4 lane road, vs sending 100 cars down a 8 lane road; More cars can drive side by side, and thus flow faster (theoretically).
The biggest drawback to raid 0 is that if one drive dies, then all data is lost. this is a huge risk, especially if we are talking losing 2TB of data because a single 250GB drive died.
Raid 1 = mirroring. Basically whatever is written on one drive is later copied over to another drive completely. This means that if the main drive dies, then you have an imediate backup. Raid 1 is useful if dataloss would cripple overall functionality of a business, or if you just want to have redundancy with your storage.
Raid 1 is conceptually an automated backup for your drive.
Sidenote: Linus made a "Fast as possible" video covering RAID types. I would recommend checking that out as he explains it way better than I can via a comment :D
ONE monitor? who only buys ONE monitor?
Not everyone can be rich like you, internet dad. lol
lol hey there.
Lots of people.
i use 1 monitor

2020 anyone?
amazing how much has changed in 6 years!!
Okay I'm getting that Silverstone case. I don't care I don't have any hardware to put inside. I will put my bed inside and LIVE in there! Absolutely loved it. Innovative.
Is this a cooking show?
he's kind of cooking...cooking up a workstation pc.
trippplefive Where's the Meth?
Anyone 2021
🦗
how did I get here. :0
Finally someone who knows what there talking about on UA-cam
Keep up the good work
Man I love these build guides.....the tips on cable management came really in handy for my build.
Everyone sides with intel. :/ Oh well.
***** he will be sponsored by amd soon.
MONEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
The best AMD CPU is competing with the i5 4670k...
Then again the 8350 (AMD's competitor) is 40$ cheaper. Not to mention the motherboard pricing. Also, the reason I like to support AMD is because it's kind of the underdog. It has about 1/10th of intels budget, and it's fantastic for the price range.
amd is a bit more budget optimized only because of apus. dont get me wrong, for the money apus are great, but if i have more than 400 for cpu and graphics i would go intel. the 8350 has more cores, but they are less powerful. the 4670k/3570k has less cores but they are more powerful per core.
Jesus christ he has 100k in free parts.
4*4TB = 8TB? :D
The raid configuration Linus talks about requires double the amount of space that you want. For 8TB of usable space in Raid 1, or 10, you need 16TB of storage.
*****
Yep my bad, early morning :DD
4+4 = 16 :D
Rootworm41 Raid 1 and 10 uses redundancy specifically keeping your data safe. The 4 4TB drives add up to 16TB, but the Raid config, only allows 8TB of space to be for the user's accessible storage.
***** Did you read my comment. It said "+". It was a joke:P Trust me I know what RAID is.
I would've gone with a full tower case for a build like this. It would've made the cable management a lot easier, but Linus did great with the cable management in this case.
I liked the last demonstration. It looked great and gave a pretty cool understanding.
Be Honest... Who Watched *The Whole Video* Whitout Skiping :P
Also How Da Hell Can A GeForce Card and A Quadro Card Pair Up? :3 Any Ideas?
The GeForce card is a dedicated CUDA card, as explained in the video.

wack ton of space haven't heard that before
Haha, nooo... Workstation = Intel Xeon.
The Xeon is a sensible option yes, but 6 core i7's are not a dumb idea, not only do they far outperform their Xeon counterparts if your gaming
ecording\live streaming but they also have faster memory support, which will result in some applications running faster\taking less time. Finally the i7 is more thermally tolerant and, if you are so inclined, you can overclock i7 far better (more stable, higher mhz) than a equivalent Xeon in most cases.
Having said all that unlike the Xeon you do miss out on duel socket support, have higher TDP and power use, can't have more than 6 cores and you lack ECM support, thus I would not use a i7 for absolutely critical tasks or in a server. This however does not invalidate the i7 for most workstations as the tasks they preform don't don't need the above features, especially if you offload the worst of your cpu grinding work to render farms, and you do get aster memory for your trouble.
All in all I would recommend the average workstation user to go for the cheaper i7 6 core of the time, a professional video card, 32gb 9you'll know if you need more already, most tasks don't) of 1866-2400 cl
Yeah, but to pay for an internal graphics is totally unnecessary... The Xeons have a way better price/performance ratio :)
areaProductions Not the dual core Xeons.

I agree on the internal graphics front, and depending on your location and requirements the price to performance of the XEon can be higher, I just don't see that for a 2011 socket (hence E5 or E7 Xeon) your actually better off with that choice. On the other hand I think that the haswell 1150 socket E3 1230 and 1240 v3 are far better value than the i7 4770 if your not looking to overclock.
If your getting into overclocking try the AMD lines, either the Xeons or 6 core haswells aren't ideal for it. For the money the FX-9370 is my pick for overclocking, it comes with a decent water cooler and high speed from factory and is capable of being pushed to 5+ ghz. At this speed it'll beat the i7, even mildly overclocked ones. Its also cheaper outright than a intel 4770k, let alone when you add the cost of the cooler, because lets face it, if your into overclocking the intel stock air cooler isn't hanging round long. Finally the FX series supports faster ram than the haswell chips, although all these features do come at the cost of increased power draw (as if you care if your overclocking anyway). If your open loop cooling you can sell the stock water cooler from the FX-9370 for about $50usd if you live in the world of affordable electronics and spying by the NSA, or close to $100Aud around here where there's a few roo's loose, so this is going to subsidize your CPU water block nicely.
Personally the low TDP, power use and plenty of gaming performance mean I'm probably going the intel route if I upgrade this cycle... my core2duo that powers my laptop has served me well for long enough, even if it is rock stable at over 3ghz for 24hr+ full load applications (video rendering, re encoding ect takes a while on a older cpu, so good thing...).
Anyway, I do agree with you about Xeons, there a good thing mostly, but I honestly don't recommend one if your doing the build from the video.. they don't like games as much (driver problems mostly), only still have similar price to performance to the i7 6core and won't allow you to use faster memory than 1600mhz. If your going for a server type task, a low clock speed many core Xeon will do better, if you need a faster CPU than a 6 core i7, then again go Xeon, for duel socket its your only option anyway and its likely cost effective to be duel socket if you need much more performance than a top i7 or entry level E5 has to offer. However unlike the entry level six core, I would never recommend the X edition to anyone not building a gaming show rig, seriously for the money you could have a duel socket and kick the $%^& out of the six core for most work loads. Besides even a top i5 is plenty fast to run most modern games.. why people go more than the 4770 for gaming is beyond me.
Not nessesarly... regarding LGA 1150 socket E3 xeons you can typically get a 1230v3 for less money than a i7, and your getting almost the same speed, still have hyper-threading, 4 cores and will have less heat and power use to boot, all you really miss out on is the integrated graphics nobody uses.... that sounds a good deal, hardly overpriced.
Your videos are awesome, great mix of technical info and comedy
Amazing to see how far we've come in 9 years
awesome vid. did not know if i could do quadro and regular video card. did not know i was going to need a different display. love the addition of giving options to step up or step down each option. well done.
