 The 7 Gamers 1 CPU system is back from CES 2016 where Kingston, the proud sponsors of the original video, which you can check out here, had it on display at their booth. And of course, I have wasted no time creating the Linus Media Group LAN Center, where the 7 Gamers 1 CPU machine will be powering 7 high-powered gaming stations for the pleasure of the employees here at Linus Media Group. So let's see if anyone wants to play some games, shall we? Whether you run a small business or a billion-dollar enterprise, Rackspace has your dedicated storage environments covered. Start a conversation with them at the link in the video description. Hey, it's Johnny the Network Guy. Come on in. Let's play some video games. Oh my god, yes, let's do it. Alright. John? Crisis 3? Let's do it. Let's do it. Who wants to play video games? I didn't ask you, Taren, but okay, sure. It's okay, honey, you don't have to. Oh, Luke. Do you have time to play video games? Oh, wow. Okay, Vaughn, you're in. Yep, you're in. Let's go. Hey, Colton, got time to play some games? Yeah. You're fired, because you should be busy. But actually, no, we're going to go play games now. Okay, come on. What are you guys waiting for? Let's go. I'll show you to your stations. This is our new and improved board room. No one will ever be bored in here again. Okay, so guys, do not jump down the hole yet, please. So this is it. This is officially the first time the 7 Gamers 1 CPU rig has actually had 7 gamers sitting at it. And I think the most notable thing about it probably is the fact that you guys are each looking at an FPS number in the top corner, something in the neighborhood of 80 to 90 frames per second. So some quick napkin math would tell us that that is somewhere between 600 to 700 frames per second. Running at medium settings, high details, in Crysis 3 at 3440 by 1440 resolution. It is actually working. But, of course, staring at a wall is not the ultimate benchmark, so I'd like you guys to all gather around. I'm going to show you how we benchmark Crysis 3 at Linus Tech Tips, and we are all going to try and do the benchmark together. I already fell down the hole. Yes, that's why I told you not to fall down the hole, Taron. Can I start? Yes, I am going to start. Yes, I will help you. In fact, let's go do it on Taron's station since he has to go back to the starting point anyway. I'm jumping really, really high. Is that normal? Yes, it's Crysis. You're wearing a- I'm actually wearing the same thing. Oh, for crying out loud, Colton. Oh, no. Can I hit the go now? No, no it doesn't. Okay, everyone come watch the benchmark run. Okay, don't stare into the hole. Just look at it. Then you're going to press the apostrophe key. Boom. That'll start the benchmark. And your FPS numbers will go away. Drop. Do not jump down the hole. If you jump down the hole, you will die. Are you shooting stuff? Nope, nope, because you will need bullets for when there are actual enemies, Taron. That is how games work. Then you hold shift to leap across. And then you just kind of stand here and like shoot at stuff. And it's done! Everyone got that? Everyone ready to execute it perfectly on the first try? Easy peasy. No. Alright. No, no, no. No, no, no. Okay, ready? And three, two, one. Benchmark! So left at the first fork there. I don't know if I'm at the first fork. Then you go right. I don't see any forks. I couldn't hit it and now I'm dead. That means you only have to get close enough. Now I'm dead. That's okay, I saw this. Okay, open up file explorer. What do you mean file explorer? You mean explorer? I mean file explorer. Go to the C drive. Then perhaps... How do you even use a computer? Then benchmarks. Then open up the Crysis 3 min-max average. I'm still fine. I'm going to perhaps in the where? Hot wrecked. It's not a competition, John. The latest news in this one. Okay. You should see your GPU core clock. What was it running at while we were gaming? A gigahertz. Wait, a thousand. A thousand. A gigahertz. A thousand. And it's still running at a thousand. A thousand megahertz, so zero throttling. And what's your GPU temperature while we were running the game? 47. 44. 48. 45. Minus 45. 48. Very nice. So our water cooling is holding up just fine with everyone in the mid to high 40 degrees on the video card. Very, very cool. So now let's fire the game back up. And you guys can just kind of mess around in game. And we're going to have a look at what our power consumption is like running seven legitimate high end games versus just some synthetic benchmarks like we did last time. Oh, what a day. Where is it? I'll kill you, Johnny. It's not a multiplayer game. Well, find a way. Can you guys be slightly more on earth? So power consumption is anywhere from around 1400 watts from the wall to up to 1600 watts from the wall. Pretty bananas. Bananas. So this is interesting. With every VM running, we're hitting every CPU core pretty much. It looks like our CPU clock speed settles in around three gigahertz, which is actually still a fairly significant turbo up from the 2.6 gigahertz base clock. More interesting facts. Another really cool thing, if you want to pop over to your graphics card tab here, is that when we originally ran this, we were having some GPUs show up as very low link speeds, even Gen 1.1 speeds. This time around, every single one is PCIe Gen 3 8X, which is definitely more than enough. We actually reseated the graphics cards and got some better stability that way. Well, how else has anybody... Whoa, I've got 200 frames per second. Everyone else has Steam accounts. That's why I said guys, log into your Steam. I don't remember my password. You're out of there. Goodbye, Terri. Who goes sniper when it's like three on three? Wow. Can I jump in and point out that at about 200 to 250 FPS each, we are literally pushing over 1400 frames per second in Team Fortress 2 right now? We could all be on PG279P. That'd be totally fine. Is there a crouch? There's a whole crouch. I didn't mean to do that. Ah! Go! Go, go, go! Up to your right, shoot him. Hang on, are you guys... Oh, somebody hit me with an axe. Actually, it was a sword, but I mean, you're dead, so it doesn't really make much of a difference at that point in time. It turned out to be Terran. I got killed by Terran! That's the ultimate install. Oh, you're on fire. Someone's on fire. Come on! Bring it, Lice. Yeah, whatever. You're dead. You're done already. You're done already. I don't even care. Crap! No! No! I tried to hold them. I'm sorry, guys. We've officially laid to rest the most common criticisms of the 7 Gamers 1 CPU video. First of all, that we didn't actually show 7 Gamers gaming on it, which has now been officially done, and second, that we called it 7 Gamers 1 CPU, which actually I'm going to continue to do in spite of the fact that there are indeed two CPUs in the system. So, that was pretty fun, guys. Huge shout out, again, to Kingston, Unraid, Intel, ASUS, AMD, EK Water Blocks, Case Labs. Oh, sure, Primochill provided some tubing. I hope I don't miss anyone.

It's a pretty darn good one, also up there in the eye. See you guys next time. Okay, so you guys are welcome to get back to work anytime now. I think that's a very strong hit. Whoa! Dude, I was really looking at the whole time. How did he die? Nope, alright.
