This BLACKOUT PC Build is a Video Editing Monster!

[@ThatMakesSenseToMe]

Love Terry’s channel. Glad to see this collab.

[@edit-your-mind]

I just finished building a ProArt system with dual 4080s. Being a Mac user for the last 20+ years and a PC user before that, it was all still familiar, but I can say that I've gotten spoiled with Apple's attention to detail and ease of use. Open the box, plug it in, install some software and go. Beautiful interface and polished snappy software. I can be up and creating in under an hour when buying a Mac. This build however is all about 3D processing so my hand was forced. Initial tests are 14x the render speed compared to my M1 Ultra. I'm still fiddling with the setup to get things where I want them. Trying out Linux and Windows 11. Both have their own unique set of headaches. I started with Linux but just ran into a rather large problem that made me give Windows a run. I thought it would be good to have both going anyway. I'm glad there are folks out there that like to fiddle with custom builds, I'm just confirming to myself that I am not one of them. Maybe my tune will change after I can get some actual creating done on the thing.

[@elissitdesign]

What 3D work are you doing? Most 3D renders are centered around GPU. I use both Mac and custom PC for 3D and video. Side note; what motherboard did you get to fit dual 4080s and case?

[@edit-your-mind]

@elissitdesign I'm editing in FCP and doing VFX for film and television. Maya, Blender, Unreal and Nuke. Been getting 3D things done on the MAC but wanted a faster rendering system for doing final render. For editing, nothing can touch FCP for performance, ease of use and getting into and staying in the flow. In my opinion/experience any way. I'm using the exact same board Gerald used here and the same video card, just two of them. The only hitch with it is that the main PCIe slot goes from 16 to 8 when you occupy the second slot. Both slots are 5.0 though. Took a chance going this route and it seems to have worked although I have no real idea if a single 4090 running at 16x would perform better. I just know that it was more expensive. I'm using a Silverstone rack mount case and Corsair 1500W PSU. No water cooling, just a huge heatsink and enough fans to probably require airport clearance. I think my bang for $ is pretty good. If I had a better budget I would probably have gone SuperMicro and two 4090s or A6000s. Also wanting to be in Linux all the time on this thing. Windows is the worst! Linux does come with its own issues of course.

[@ChrisA2617]

@@edit-your-mind Very impressed that you had the guts to attempt a build coming from Mac after so many years. There's no way I would try that hahaha. Little side note, I totally agree with you about FCPX. On any of the new macs with solid specs, nothing can come close. Resolve is starting to get there but the interface and magnetic timeline of FCPX are game changers in my opinion. Forget Premiere. Good luck with the new PC!

[@edit-your-mind]

@@ChrisA2617 Don't get me started on Adobe LOL! Resolve is a very technically capable program and it runs in Linux so I've got it on this new machine. Will likely chuck a decklink in the last slot and use this thing for colour timing projects when it's not batch rendering. Now back to the Linux Mint forums to see if I can find a solution to my problem. Everything was fine last week then autoupdate killed me.

[@AdrianIII]

Time for an M3 Ultra Mac Studio???

[@TheAstrologyPodcast]

This is like the *exact* same build that I'm just getting ready to assemble tomorrow! Good choices!

[@DavisInDuval]

How much does it cost?

[@ElementaryWatson-123]

I've got pretty much identical PC, even physically looks the same, only it was MSI. Got me top of the line benchmark results. Got it from B&H, saved a lot on taxes, you can't get better price anywhere.

[@DavisInDuval]

@@ElementaryWatson-123 how much?

[@ElementaryWatson-123]

@@DavisInDuval prices are constantly changing, moreover they are sensitive to the selected components, a little better video card can swing the price several hundred dollars. Go to the web site and check for yourself the configuration you want.

[@PhillipRPeck]

You can leverage the integrated graphics on the 14900K in Resolve and Premiere Pro (Intel Quick Sync) as well that could speed up workflows with h.264/h.265 footage. You have to enable a setting in the BIOS and also in Resolve preferences to tell it to use both the GPU and the iGPU

[@annakissed3226]

There is an interview over at Gamers Nexus just gone up with Intel (ex-Nvidia) Fellow Tom Peterson. Tom also heads up a bunch of stuff at Vulcan. Talking about audio & video compression. And he mentions about these features on the Intel CPU.

[@definingslawek4731]

@@annakissed3226Did he say that amd would start competing in that regard or is amd just for the gamers?

[@TomasRamoska]

Gerald, are you using DaVinci Resolve Studio or Free Version? Also, make sure you switch on iGPU Quicksync in the BIOS because without that you going to leave a lot of performance on the table. Intel iGPU has better hardware encoders and decoders than RTX4090. I have the same setup and iGPU is off by default on this motherboard.

[@CinePals]

That is a DOPE tower. Looks like it should be easy to have really nice cable management. I'm especially a big fan of big fans because they're much quieter. I'd be very curious about a noise test with that PC. I've been on Phanteks Eclipse P600S which, while not the largest fans, it's extremely quiet.

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

That was a really fun watch! Love both your channels and you guys are hilarious together. Been contemplating some upgrades to my PC and doing them myself since the last guy charged wayy too much. This video gave me a bit more confidence. Thanks Gerald!

[@chadbowen]

Legit two of my favourite youtubers in one place

[@donaldmfalls]

I am also same age as Terry. I built computer for years since I was kid. My last built was with the Intel i7 Sandy Bridge 2600K (OC), Corsair 16GB DDR3 RAM, & GeForce GTX480 1.5G. No matter what I threw, it ate lol. I love Windows 7 but Linux Mint runs the fastest. Ever since, I went to Macbook Pro 2011/Mac Mini M1, (Currenty running Mac Studio M1 Max & MBP M1P ) I haven't gotten back to building in ages since 2010/2011 exactly. This video makes me want to build another monster machine. Some CPU now has up to 96 cores and up to 128 threads! Technology kept improving! Great video!!

[@kris4637]

The threadripper CPU do have 96 cores but that doesn't mean it will make your machine fast. It's best use case is for servers with high traffic. Games cannot fully make use of it yet.

[@tmaintv]

What a serendipity coincidence. I just received almost identical system yesterday. Same case, motherboard cooler but with a 4090 in ;) can I ask if you can test the thunderbolt ports with a fast usbc drive. I don’t seem to be able to get faster than 950mbps read and write from them. Front usbc same drive 2000mbps read and write. Not sure if it would be different with a thunderbolt drive. Appreciate your step by step and any tuning tips would be awesome

[@rishihara]

Your drive is most likely a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, which will get 20Gb/s on the front panel (also 3.2 Gen 2x2) but will only get 10Gb/s on Thunderbolt. If you use a Thunderbolt drive on the Thunderbolt port your speeds will be much faster.

[@raredreamfootage]

I just finished building my 14900K two days ago! FYI: I recommend using Windows 11 for an Intel 14th gen build because it will automatically load the drivers for the motherboard, whereas Windows 10 does not which means Windows 10 constantly crashed when installing and updating whereas Windows 11 was smooth as butter.

[@ShawnBeltran]

I’d be curious to see a long term review after a few months of working with that system. I built a proart system with Intel chip recently and it’s been to MicroCenter 4 times to be rebuilt from hardware failures. Every time it works fine one day and then suddenly on boot the next day it hangs at boot and the memory is toast. I hope you don’t have the same issues I’ve had.

[@MarineX]

I'm putting my hair like that right now Terry. Thanks for the idea

[@DDavEE]

I’ve built multiple PCs over the years and there is a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that you get from that. But I honestly prefer using my Mac for my daily design and editing work. Especially since switching to a 16” M1 Max MBP.

[@ericberger4511]

Holy cow! I just built almost this exact system myself. Literally last week. I had done a pro art z790 Creator a year ago and I needed a new system for another place. I just got finished talking myself into buying another pro art z790 instead of anything with a new Intel or new AMD and this time around I had the pro art GPU as well, cuz I couldn't really justify spending $2,000 on a 4090. Otherwise the CPU, the motherboard, the case, the cooler, the GPU- all of it's the same as Gerald just built, and if I had known he did this 7 months ago I would have had absolutely no hesitation to buy these things. Makes me feel good to know Gerald undone picked the same system I picked at random without knowing he picked it too 🙂

[@BrianTheCameraGuy]

Awesome looking build. Window builds are so nice!!

[@PHOTOREACTION]

Not enable XMP in bios for the memory?

[@CookinWithSquirrl]

A fun build and a great guest.

[@PE4Doers]

Thank you for doing this video. I have all the parts sitting on the shelf ready for my next high-end PC build. The only component I have from the ProArt brand is 'that' motherboard. I will have an NVIDA 4090 Founders Edition, 128gb of G.Skill DDR5 memory (5600), two WD Black M.2, 4T, M.2 Drives. a Thermaltake 1200W PSU with the 12-pin GPU power connector, A couple of 6T Hard Drives, a Corsair 5000D Airflow case (black version of course), and it will be a custom water-cooled build (just the CPU for now, since I don't want to ruing the 4090 FE aesthetics). I will then use Davinchi Resolve 'remote' to offload the renders and KZbin uploads. It will be the best build I have ever done on my Chanel, since I already have a 10g home office network and NAS server in-place. Oh, I almost forgot, it will have a 'lot' of ProArt themed RGB.

[@kreygscott]

So happy I stumbled across this channel. Thanks man. Keep up the awesome work. 🙏

[@Jossy.mp4]

ProArt is just the most aesthetic lineup of whatever pc chip or board there is.. The only thing I wont choose would be that case though.. I would've gone with a Fractal North with matte black finish. That walnut accent will complete the picture just nicely.

[@specialized41]

Where is the list of parts to build this PC.??

If Asus made a ProArt rackmount case I would buy it

Nice! Is there a handy parts lists anywhere?

[@Zyrk01]

Yeaaah.. Terry on this vid?? Mans jacked bro. I love watching both of your channels. I'm glad you guys did this together. The build looks nice btw. Question: Do editors actually test heat temps of the PC during editing loads? Im new to building, and im not sure if i should put 140mm fans or if 2×120mm is enough.

[@slimmetry]

I just built a similar system as well! My only changes: Ryzen instead of Intel; for a better upgrade path on AM5 in a few years. 64gb RAM Two 2tb SSDs Fractal Design North - didn't know about the ProArt case! 4070 Super (founders edition) Arctic Freezer III cooler (cheaper, needed a smaller one for the Fractal Design case) Overall really happy! Added bonus of the Fractal North is that my AKG K240's match it perfectly with the black/gold accents.

[@chriswilliams2172]

I wonder the exterior noise level with all those fans although those 240mm ones, slower, shouldn't be too noisy. Whats the decibel level when playing Cyberpunk full on? We'll never know but... Great video. Everything used looked so nice with a nice perfect fit. Thanks Undone and Terry!

[@patrickskates92]

Doing a near identical build and my 4080 proart super will not click into the motherboard at all, I’ve tried the top and middle slots and will not get picture, everything is powered properly. Any suggestions?

[@dirk.4711]

How is the noise while video editing or while surfing on the internet?

[@browngb6628]

I am curious, did you try 128GB in Z790 mobo. What was the ram speed you got?

[@Filmmaker809]

How much memory did you install? For my system, I installed x2 48GB ram sticks for total of 96GB What sizes were your SSD's. I've installed 4 M.2's.

[@mtmccornack]

I think you guys are basically building out my 1 month old PC.

[@Iamdcameron]

Yeah when you guys first started and were only using 32 I was like that’s not gonna work. Glad you upgraded to 64.

[@definingslawek4731]

Yeah, ram is so cheap I can't imagine building a pc worth over a thousand dollars and going for only 32. Even 64 isn't that much. I understand with a macbook where you need to spend like $5000 for a decent ram and storage spec but on pc ram is super cheap. I am thinking of building a pc this month with the same cpu but maybe an ITX form factor. ITX boards only get 2 ram slots so I'd max it out with 96GB of ram.

[@onQQuincy]

[@raredreamfootage]

BTW, the radiator should be mounted on the top and not the side of the case because you want to use gravity to assist the coolant to circulate back to the pump/water block (the pump is in the waterblock). By placing the radiator vertically, you'll create air bubbles in the radiator which will impede flow and will cause gurgling noise.

[@khaozelectrichead]

Radiator police here. Yeah better at the top, but workable on the side provided that the inlet and outlet are at the bottom. Oops. Actually not a problem provided the radiator is above the CPU, but not ideal. Fun video thanks.

[@DarkSwordsman]

Only thing I'm surprised about is only 32 GB of RAM. Lots of money for the motherboard, but now he can only upgrade to 64 GB max. I've had my Resolve easily cap 32 GB, and get to over 45 GB with Fusion after I upgraded to 128 GB.

[@pablolearningmusic]

how much money was the total built?

[@annekedebruyn7797]

Haha funny I am building the exact same spec today! Tho went from 96gb because I do 3D work specifically.

[@annakissed3226]

Gerald, I think you've interviewed Gamers Nexus. Have you thought about seeing if they will give you a care package of one of their Build Mats. If I could afford the import tarifs into the EU I would love to buy a bunch of Gamers Nexus kit. The other person I would have approached is De8aurer whose company is behind Thermal Grizzly & makes a bunch of contact frames, delidders and lapping tools for Intel processors. Especialy usefuk is their Carbon Nanotube based Carbonaught. Again given the context there kit could serioualy improve your Intel processor especially with a liquid cooling solution through them. I think it was De8aurer who took the latest intel 9 series KS golden sample to a little over 9Ghz on LN. The only other thing is back in the day I built my first video editing system on a 1929x 1st Gen threadripper using 128Gb of screened & Binned Samsung DDR4. But according to Actual Hardware Overclocking the current best source is SK Hynix and he has a spreadsheet of the bins & frequencies to look for Thanks for the great work Hugs

[@BeergrYT]

I switched from Threadripper/3090 to Mac Studio last year and it's almost comical how much better the Mac Studio performs at video editing and animation. And to top it off, the Mac Studio was cheaper, only weighs like 10 pounds and takes up no space on my desk. They truly sold their souls to the devil lol

[@definingslawek4731]

Threadripper isn't the best option for video editing unless you're running some specific workflows like lots of raw video. Are you using 10bit 422 footage? If so that's exactly why the mac studio perorms better. Because only Intel CPU's and apple silicon accelerate 10bit 422. AMD cpus do not have asics/ media engines on them unfortunately and nvidia gpus (and amd gpus) do not decode 422. You need to shoot 420 if you want it to decode on nvdec.

[@BeergrYT]

@@definingslawek4731 yeah my personal KZbin vids are all 10bit 422 but my client work ranges from 8k raw to whatever they throw at me. I will say that I also have a 13900k build for gaming but I do sometimes go use that for more in depth color grades in Divinci. Thats the only area I’ve noticed a major difference but for everything else, the M2 Ultra Mac Studio gives a faster and more dialed in editing experience. TBH though, I still struggle with the overall Mac OS though. Something’s just don’t make sense in my pc head lol

[@BeergrYT]

Yeah my personal youtube vids are 10bit 422 but clients send over a lot 8k raw and everything in between. I will say that I also have a 13900K/4080 build for gaming BUT I do jump over to that one when I need to do more in depth color grading in Divinci (like real in depth) and that is the only area that bogs down my m2 ultra mac studio. But for everything else for my workloads, the mac studio is faster and just more consistent. @@definingslawek4731

Assembly tip: Better to just put the motherboard on the table. The flex from the box underneath when pressing in RAM, etc can cause damage.

[@Vsmit00]

If you're putting enough pressure on the board to flex it to the point of damage, you're doing something wrong. The PCB can take a lot more abuse than you think it can.

Its ok but for real editing its a no go. I got M2 pro and its just slow, compared to my old PC its about 4-6 times slower when you start add color correction and GPU effects. Id say its about useless to compared old PC (5950X and 4070Ti).
