 Oh my God, this is heavy. This is it, ladies and gentlemen. This is the first, oh wow, it's heavy. The first unironically top of the line AMD gaming system in what, 14 years or something like that? That's right. Today, I have the pleasure, nay, the privilege of unboxing and gaming on an AMD Ryzen 5950X, a Ventum X, from Digital Storm, days before the official release. And I could not be more excited because it does not get any better than this. At least not until you've got Bitdefender installed. This video is brought to you by Bitdefender.

Just to give you guys some idea how heavy this box is. Like I weigh 160 pounds. This is what it takes for me to tip it. Did I hear something rattling in there? Oh my God, the bottom of this box fell apart. Like no mortal box can contain its greatness. Ah, yes, motherboard accessories, wonderful. Just in case what we had already wasn't crazy enough, we could put another two M.2s in this expansion card with the cooling fan on it. Oh, that's a nice touch. Did they put all the LTT stickers on it? Ha, ha, ha, nerds. Lttstore.com. Oh my God, it's so heavy. No, no, I wanna do it. I wanna do it. I think I'm stuck under the computer. I give in, take an end to it. I can't do it. Hold on, wait. Holy crap. I can do it. Oh, that's why I couldn't do it. Wow. Oh, holy banana, grandma. If there has ever existed a symbol of complete and utter PC gaming excess, this is it. Oh, very funny guys. They put an LTT sweatband on the end feeling. That's right, my friends. This contains not only an AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16 core 32 thread processor, but also dual RTX 39. Wait, what? What the hell are these? Shut up. Oh, wait. What? Wait, what are these? What the fudge? Where the, what the hell are these? They've got their own digital storm co-branded alpha cool back plates on them. These are sick. These are so small. Just to make sure this isn't me being absolutely crazy. Here's a Strix 3090 from Asus. Here it is relative to the card that's installed in the case. Now the PCB ends here, but still. So we've got a quad 140 millimeter radiator on this side. We've got what appears to be a triple 140 millimeter in the top. Let's go ahead and take off the other panel. I cannot believe how much it weighs. That's right my friends. Another two 140 millimeters over here to go with our 1600 watt power supply. Some extra just like random ambient cooling, air flow over here. Remember guys, these are all Light Loop fans. This thing, did I mention already is not cheap. And this absolute masterpiece of a water distribution block in the back. I haven't even turned it on yet. Oh wow, they put a mechanical drive in here. Silly digital storm. We got to compete with the PS5. This must have like over $500 worth of fittings in it. Look at this. We've got quick disconnects on this side and this side for the CPU. So we could just pop a tube off of the one too. Crazy right? Quick disconnects over here for the GPUs which are connected as like one unit. Just here, let me just re-plug my system. 64 gigs of memory, MSI Godlike motherboard. I think it's time to plug this thing in and try it. Look at it next to a 27 inch monitor. Baby's first monitor over there. Oh, I just dropped it again. I had just found the screw that was rattling around. There it is. You said there were a few screws loose? Three. Three? Oh my God. I don't know where they go. Just put them there at the side panel screws. All right, let's fire it up. Oh, with that. Yeah, let's do this properly. Apparently this G9 is one of the ones for the pyramid PC client. Hopefully he doesn't mind me pre-testing it. This is the one monitor that won't look stupid next to this computer. I don't know about you guys, but I'm having fun. I wanna go fast. Oh, here we go. Yeah, yeah, this is fine. Oh God. Forgot about the cable management thing on the stand. My expectation. Ow, I pinched my finger. Yeah. That is full damn. That is like holding back all the water, damn. Curiously, I can see the water flow rates are pretty low. I guess that makes sense. There's only a single pump in this poor thing. And then there's all these quick connects and all that. I'm still expecting it to be fine, but that's something we're gonna wanna keep an eye on as we check our temps and do some gaming here. Oh my God. There's even an RGB fan right behind the front panel here. You cannot see it at all. This orange and white color scheme they pre-rigged it with is sweet. Oh my God. There's another three more hidden behind the front panel. Why? Looks like those loose screws weren't too much of a problem. This is great. It's like almost proportional. You know, the computer still looks big. This isn't actually where I wanna be though. Digital Storm says that they did a little bit of factory overclocking for me. So I wanna check that out first. OC settings. All right. Nothing crazy in here. We're running at 4.4 gigahertz with a slight overvolt on the CPU and really no other changes, just running the 3,200 megahertz XMP profile for this memory. Now AMD does recommend 3,600 megahertz for optimal performance, but Digital Storm was like, when we were building the machine, this was kind of all we had on hand. So hopefully it's all right. One compromise. Just throw it all away. Just put it in the garbage. You're supposed to let me walk out of frame. This is an unconventional benchmark. There it is. 5950X, base speed four points. So we're at 4.4 gigahertz, rock fricking solid here. 64 gigs RAM. And that's weird. Why is only one GPU showing up? No SLI. Okay. Let's re-seat that puppy. This, this is what I wanted to benchmark. Okay. Check this out. CPU utilization, 98%. Doing what you might ask? Downloading a game. But hold on, but hold on. That's not crazy. That's not stupid. What's happening right now is we're on a 10 gig connection here at the office. And I am linked right now to the Vancouver Steam server and downloading Red Dead Redemption 2 at a speed of 500 megabytes per second. 500 megabytes, not megabit. That is five gigabit. At least it was a second ago. And why I say that this is a benchmark of sorts is that when you download a game, typically you're downloading and decompressing the files at the same time. So you can often end up in a very CPU limited scenario. So is the Ryzen 5950X the fastest CPU for downloading games if you have mega fast internet? Probably, actually. Let's try Grand Theft Auto now, shall we? Oh, one hour, 14 minutes, what? Ah, four minutes, 46 seconds. That's more like it. How are we doing here? 550, 600, 600. Guys, this is over the internet. This is not even a cache server local. How's our CPU doing? Oh wow, CPU usage not even too high. That's interesting. So what you guys need to understand is that every game is compressed differently. So with Red Dead, for example, we were able to use all of our cores, but still our speeds were lower than Grand Theft Auto, where Grand Theft Auto seems to be limited to a smaller number of cores, but still we're getting greater speeds. So it depends how much it's compressed and how it's compressed. I'm gonna download Grand Theft Auto 5 in like two and a half fricking minutes. Oh, whoa, hey, there it goes. Interesting. So we got this spike up to 600 plus megabytes a second, and CPU utilization was actually very low. And so I confess, I don't know a ton about exactly how they compress these games, but it looks like we settled into a steady state here and we're back up to 100% CPU utilization. Fastest game downloading PC in the universe. It's hard to reach the power button. Oh yeah, there's like SD card reader and front USB 3 and type C and everything up there. Couldn't even tell. Literally can't see over it. Okay, did we just need a fresh driver install? Was that it? Just a clean install? Okay, with SLI and G-Sync now working, the last thing left is 240 Hertz. Unfortunately, there's forum threads from as recently as like 10 days ago with people saying Nvidia and Samsung are still working on display stream compression and compatibility between RTX 3000 and this particular display. So I'm not even gonna try. We're just gonna enjoy it at 120 Hertz and play some freaking video games here. Okay, Ultra Nightmare. All of that sensitivity though. Wait a minute. You gotta be kidding me. Changing the DPI of my mouse, changed the profile of the whole IQ ecosystem and turned off the RGB lighting in the system. At least this is running amazing. So we are at half of 5K resolution right now, running at 170 frames per second. And what kind of temps we seeing? CPU is sitting around 60 degrees. The GPU that's not doing any work is sitting around 30 something and 50 on the one that is doing any work. Let's fire up Shadow of the Tomb Raider now since that's one of the few games that actually supports SMI. I know Steve from Gamers Nexus wouldn't approve of the way that it's like all solid panels and you know, there's no actual cooling, but when you have this many fans, it seems to kind of work out okay. Also, I didn't notice this, but it looks like there are intentional panel gaps between the glass sides here and where these fans are. So they are actually able to pull in a little bit of air. Now, like there's a lot moving out of the back here somehow. All vent all the time, no mumble. Now let's absolutely crank Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Green space contact shadows, high. Ray traced shadow quality, ultra. We're still gonna turn off motion blur cause it's garbage, but let's open it up. This is absolutely freaking nuts. I have this game completely maxed out and it's still running over 100 FPS with like real time ray tracing set to ultra. Our GPU so far have peaked at 61 and 52 degrees respectively. Not too shabby. CPU though, as high as 74 degrees, but that's what happens when you have a pretty low flow rate and you're overclocked. Here it is, Witcher 3 5120 by, oh for f**king sakes. Witcher 3 5120 by 1440, absolutely ultra everything. Again, over 100 frames per second. Man, this is a good looking game still. Of course, the real test of a gaming system with a hyper fast multi-threaded CPU is an RTS. This is good old Anno 1800. Pretty demanding when you max it out. That's really not bad. Now at like the medium zoom level where all of a sudden the streets are like populated with all kinds of little AI characters going about their little stuff. We dropped down to about 30, 35 FPS. Look, it's my zoo. I have horses. Usage of the primary GPU while playing Anno 1800. Usage of the secondary GPU. Oh, SLI. Come on Red Dead. It's crashing almost every time I try to change graphical settings, but I managed to get it to hold the resolution this time. So let's see if it fires up here. Yeah, this is completely broken. Okay, that's fine. Everyone knows that Cinebench is every gamer's favorite game anyway. So let's just close this and see how our 5950X with its 4.4 gigahertz clock speed rolls through Cinebench R20. Can we crack 10,000? Oh yeah, 10,081. Nice. Of course, we still haven't showed any scenarios where we'd be able to actually run this display at 240 frames per second with this hardware until now. Check that out. We're somewhere in the 210, 220 FPS range. Good old CSGO, ladies and gentlemen. Of course, that's running with all the eye candy on at full resolution, which no competitive CSGO player would ever do. So I would expect FPS way in excess of that. And in fact, if you guys want the full skinny, check out our full review of the Ryzen 5000 series launch, which went up just a few days ago on the channel. So conclusion then. The digital storm of Entomax with a Ryzen 5950X and dual RTX 3090s running in SLI. Is it a great value? No, of course not. But is it basically the perfect vehicle for celebrating AMD's return to CPU gaming dominance? Yeah. I think it might just be. Just like Bitdefender might just be the sponsor of this video.
