 So I finally decided to update my workstation here This is my Linux workstation that I do all of my video editing and podcast editing and well all the media I create and of course all my work is all done right here And it was being done on an older i7 and it was getting a little bit, you know Testing my patience I guess you could say when you render something and watch that little bar Just not move as fast as I thought it should and you know rendering takes a lot of time when I drag in a little bit of drone footage or Footage my GoPro there were some delays in getting the editing done and you know you want something to be nice and fast So I finally said okay It's time to upgrade that i7 because the 3900x has lots of cores and is wicked fast And I was really impressed with reading the reviews on this I was impressed as soon as they came out with the Ryzen and I almost upgraded them and I was like Okay, I'll wait a little longer than the next version as the Ryzen came out now To the Zen 2 Architecture on these and it's like okay have to make a decision Well have to but you know I wanted to and I said fine. We're gonna build this 3900x It's a pretty impressive processor and of course the first question is will it all work with Linux? Well, it does good news, so I Am running Papa West on this still for those wondering and Papa West is scratches the itch of Nice polish and no, it's not just a facelift on Ubuntu I know people will be mashing the comments saying Papa West is just Ubuntu with a couple extra features dig a little deeper They actually polish quite a bit of this Underlying operating system as well as the features that it works great for all the media editing I do it's super solid Super stable and yes Caden live stable. Yes. It's gotten a lot more stable over the years I'm actually impressed with how little it crashes compared to oh when I started out doing this when it was just Torture and I was also laughing because I talked to my friend who uses Adobe and he pays the subscription fee and Deals a lot of crashing himself So it's actually feel vindicated, you know using open source and now I seem to crash a lot less than I used to Anyways back to the build here. So 3900x I Also because of I do editing all my editing if you've watched my video I do on my free Nias in the back that has a nice 10 gig connection, which means I need a 10 gig connection So I have this ASUS 10 gig XG C100 C adapter I've actually had this for a while I was in the old computer and I just transplanted it into this one because 10 gig connectivity is why I don't have a Stack of hard drives in here. So I do have this Huge case that I'll leave a link to if you're interested in it. This is not a new case This is the old one I've had and it's worked well My friend gave it to me because he thought it was just too stupid big and it fits under my desk perfectly fine It didn't fit under his new setup. So that's how I ended up with this case It's not like I really was seeking out this matter of fact It's mostly dead space in here because I've moved to from SSD to a WD black MVME so now there's even less inside this case than it was before But I didn't have really a reason to replace it It works fine and the most important thing to me is everything's quiet So I have this be quiet power supply, which is actually the third build It's been in and I'm really happy this power supply It's it's held up really well and no problems powering all of this and the fans are these cougar vortex fans They are very very quiet. They're pretty outstanding. Just how quiet they are Which someone's gonna point out that you didn't go with liquid cooling. I see a cooler in there Yes, you see the hyper I think so the hyper 212 Evo And that also has the cougar vortex fan or replace the stock fan that's on there You can get really quiet and I've seen this and people of Done a video on this a Linus I believe did one where they talk about just how much quieter you can get with some of these Standard fan versus some of the kit liquid cooling and I know there's a lot of debate in there But as long as it's quiet enough why add extra complexity to my build now the video card is in still the old video card I had because I'm not playing games at all on this This is an editing workstation and where I do a lot of my work and do tutorials So it needs to power my triple monitors and in this GTX 760 as old as it is Powers my triple monitors perfectly fine without a problem. I know I may need to upgrade when I go to 4k But I'm not going to 4k yet. So I have three nice 1080 IPS monitors. That's still the same setup I've been using for a while Now the motherboard someone will go Tom. Why did you go with the you know? Aura scheming motherboard by gigabyte well gigabyte makes a solid product And I'm really not that into overclocking because stability to me is more important Than the overclocking of the system. I really need this to be very stable. It did come with something weird in a box Look at that. I thought that was odd. They had a CD in there and CD-ROMs What these are these remind me of floppies now and floppies are things that even some of the younger techs go What's a floppy? Is that the little icon that we have over there? Anyways So overall the build went really smooth. It went Pretty straightforward and then we cloned so I didn't have to deal with reloading. I Cloned my SSD right to this and pop o s had no problem with it now one thing to note I did try loading from the USB pop o s 18. It will pause because the boot kernel the kernel is on the USB that when you download it to do the install does not have the latest patches for Ryzen on there Therefore it pauses with a couple errors, but it times out I think after like 60 seconds and then goes into the boot screen once you have Pop o s loaded including the long-term support and you update it It seems to boot perfectly fine because it updates the kernel pop o s 19 if you read through the details It does give the error, but passes it right away It's some type of one-off error about looking for something that's not available in the processor It's I read some of the kernel details on there. It's kind of like a you can ignore it It doesn't do anything it thinks something's there It's not there So it gives an error that it thought it was there But it can't find it as a processor list is and it will be patched in Certain kernel update and I don't know about the details, but they're also not very relevant because it still works perfectly fine And of course that's a big concern when you're building a system and you're not just gonna run windows because it's obviously tested to run Windows on these things, but I'm a Linux person So yeah, I wanted to make sure it all work with Linux and it does it works perfectly fine So just I did the clone real quick. So now I'm at the NVMe speed. There's nothing special. You have to do I just use clonezilla. I was actually really impressed with just how fast clonezilla was able to copy There but of course it's SSD NVMe. It's just it's really impressive And I do as I've talked before if you haven't been watching channel, I encrypt everything. I do have encrypted drive Yes, you can clone encrypted drives. That's not a big deal to do that. So it's It's really not a problem when I did that But other than that everything else is just a bunch of empty space in here It just looks cool to have a big case and if you're wondering why there's no RGB in it Yes, the side panel over here does have a cool clear So windows you can see inside of it But once again this side faces my desk underneath and it faces the wall So you can't see any of it. So I don't bother putting RGB in here I got a few RGB lights and you know, obviously my studio here and of course in my office I do love that stuff, but it just wasn't necessary to do and decorate this You know, so I didn't go didn't go all out on there. I thought it'd be kind of cool Eventually, I want to build something like that, but that's not this time It's it's less relevant to me, but that's it for the build process I will leave you a link below to the parts I have and everything that we use in this particular build So if you want to build something you're going, hey, it doesn't work with Linux This I've talked about before works great with Linux For 10 gig connectivity and it does connect to the unify switch in the back the unify 10 gig which connects to the free NAS which also has 10 gig and you can find and I can leave links to all those different Components I use for that Makes my editing life a lot better running everything on a large free NAS array because well videos take up a lot I have over 800 videos on this channel and that's the cut down edited. There's obviously been more video shot It's all archived on there edited on there And now all I need is this 500 gig NVMe and a 10 gig connection to carry on with all my editing But that's about it And I know there's going to be a bunch of people second guessing why didn't you get XYZ parts? But yeah, oh memory I will leave that in there I don't remember leaving the brand of the memory, but I will I haven't a link that they're not super relevant It's in my head at least I know it's going to be really a hanging point for some people But it has 32 gigs of RAM in there I've you see DDR4 with the in the new Ryzen, but this thing is just Really fast. I'm really impressed with it I'm excited because this video is gonna be the first video I edit on there It may be I'll do a follow-up video recorded from that about how fast it renders and how fast it can get things done Because I'm gonna be doing some benchmarks on there But they're obviously their Linux rendering video benchmarks. I don't know how interested people really are in that Yeah, I don't know. I'll still probably do them. Anyways, I know I'm excited to get rendering on this So I'm gonna end the video here if you could take a second to click the like button that'd be great I forgot to say at the beginning of the video But if you've made it this far do that because it helps everything in our algorithm-driven life and thanks questions comments below Appreciate it. So I started editing the video from the studio I wanted to add this to the end of the video to show the system up and running Still running 1804 AMD Ryzen 9 1300 X 12 core processor 24 with the Threading so here's all 24 cores showing up here the g4 760 64 bit and The disc though if you notice it shows 231 gigs. It is a 500 gig I cloned it using clonezilla, but I have not updated the LVM so the LVM is a logical volume management and there's some trickery you have to do to make that work And I have not taken the time to do that yet. So Anyone's wondering that may be a separate video or I may end up reloading the sitting anyways Because I've not taken the time to learn LVM. There's a process for it You have to specify exactly what the new partition size is you can't just or at least I don't know how to just Resize something in LVM using G parted. Maybe it's possible Haven't taken the time really look into that because I wasn't out of space Well, I had 73% used on this but I wanted to mention that the other thing I want to mention is yes I'm recording my office. Yes, my computer is back over here under my desk and it's not liquid cool, but It's not causing any noise actually I would say it's not any noise here at all and I'm doing this by ear and of course by little sound levels showing up I do not hear any more noise with this system than I did with my liquid cooled system that was in here previously So the evo 212 seems to be doing its job amazingly I did to do some test rendering it will spin up a little bit make a little bit of noise But actually that was the same thing I had with my look at cool After a little while the computer would warm up matter of fact my whole office gets warm when rendering If I don't kick the door open even with the AC I need a little more airflow in here That's where most of the heat seems to start like building up when I record for a long time But I just wanted to you know show it working we show how I'm recording on it and confirm that That yes, I know that it's not liquid cool, but it's still quiet enough Thanks for watching if you liked this video give it a thumbs up If you want to subscribe to this channel to see more content hit that subscribe button and the bell icon and maybe YouTube will Send you a notice when we post If you want to hire us for a project that you seen or discussed in this video head over to Lawrence systems comm where we offer Both business IT services and consulting services and are excited to help you with whatever project you want to throw at us Also, if you want to carry on the discussion further head over to forums at Lawrence systems comm where we can keep the Conversation going and if you want to help the channel out in other ways we offer affiliate links below Which offer discounts for you and a small cut for us that does help fund this channel?
