Also, what are you using the Thunderbolt 3 card for exactly? Just local footage ingest or local external storage devices?

What's happening to the old workstations now that they've been phased out? Will there be some kind of giveaway?

All the people asking what video card, case, etc. they used, there is a parts list at the top of the thread (just below the video) that lists pretty much everything.

Thanks to Intel for sponsoring this video! Buy Core i7 processors on Newegg at http://geni.us/6Up7Mj

 

We decided that our editing workstations were in dire need of an upgrade, and our friends at Intel REALLY hooked us up...

 

 

Buy Corsair ML Fans on Amazon: http://geni.us/Q1fUy0z

Buy Corsair H100i V2 on Amazon: http://geni.us/AGBO

Buy Corsair HX850i on Amazon: http://geni.us/NT9I

Buy ASUS X99 on Amazon: http://geni.us/TN9VRf

Buy Corsair Vengeance RAM on Amazon: http://geni.us/kot9

Buy Corsair 460X on Amazon: http://geni.us/45tM1SA

Buy Titan X on Amazon: http://geni.us/COxwAO

 

Just pointing out... The hardware list here seems to be wrong.. (review the video)
The fans are shown to be HD120 Corsairs (RGB) not ML120's, listed here and the Motherboard is an X99 AII Series, Not just a plain X99..  also you didn't specify how much RAM was installed, and what Hard Drive's Brand/Capacity?  For anyone who wants to know - SSD or NVME?  What NIC Card Brand and Type?, What Thunderbolt card etc?,  The fact that it is an Intel 6950X CPU isn't listed here, and is the Case a 460X or 570X?.  Details do matter.   Easy on the Vodka shots.

 

Thanks.

Why didn't he mention the other hardware in the system other than sponsored stuff? I mean I know it's sponsored but I want to know what drives and GPU they're using

Because he's not getting money for those parts, so why should he care about them?

As a person in need of a desperate upgrade because of a "broken" GTX970, this video is just juicy. And torturous. Mostly juicy. (:

Stupid Question. You connected fans to motherboard using somesort of fans spliters or did you use FAN hub that connects to PSU? byt then you cant control fan speed?

I can see RGB hub, but hub only controls light not actual fan

How did you get your Red cameras working with your RGB? I thought they had this annoying habit of only working with proprietary *red* accessories ;)

Them having the same editing stations for three years just proves that you don't need to have the latest and greatest stuff on your computer, but yea it was time for them to get an upgrade after that new server room.

Agree, it's surprising how little is needed to do some serious work, all this money sucking extra fluff is a need for entertainment mostly.

I thought there was nothing worse than homoerotic jokes coming from nerdy types, but maybe it was so bad, it was good.

Lol that disclaimer at 2:21

Somebody's lawyers are happy that's in there.

Gotta appease the sponsors in some ways. If we push to say words like "penis" in a sponsored video, we have to give a bit of room when their legal team wants an overly aggressive disclaimer in the video lol.

Why extreme i7 and not some high core count xeon? So why not some crazy 24 core E7 xeons? 

This was directly answered in the video by referencing this video.

To be fair, we still don't even have the "latest and greatest" stuff even now since Threadripper and X299 are right around the corner. But yes you're entirely correct - the latest shiniest thing isn't always the best tool for the job.

No Virtualization yet for the Editors? , Maybe next upgrade cycle? 

Why would they use virtualization? For what purpose?

For Sale: Meraki Bundle

love how at the 8 min 30 second mark there is a box for a folding step stool in the corner.

Wonder who that could be for. 

 

Jokes aside what's your opinion of the v2 corsair H100is compared to the v1?  Thinking of doing an upgrade as i am not overly impressed with my H110i on my 5820k.

a 7 gamers 1 (2*) cpu sort of setup, but instead of it being 7 gamers, 7 editors.

 

I would guess there's to many bugs for their setup atm.  

 

 

My old HS's plan, next upgrade cycle is to go to centralized server for the engineering computers with thin clients.

The library computers are already using this.  

 

Plus Intel sponsored, (assuming their sponsorship allowed for it) they could have gone all out , and have produced and multi episode series on this @LinusTech

 

 

Edit:

saw @nicklmg's comment

Spoiler

This was directly answered in the video by referencing this video.

 Maybe Next Gen Cpu's with higher clocks will be more efficient? (Or more realistic next upgrade cycle 5 years from now?)

 

I would be interested to see if using more lower core count higher clocked, in a multi socket board, instead of just 1 ballin cpu, would be a better solution.

 

so essentially 4 of these https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/processors/xeon/e7-processors/e7-8893-v2.html

vs 1 of these https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/processors/xeon/e7-processors/e7-8890-v4.html

or somethings in between.
