alright guys welcome back to the show if you have missed part one go head over to pels segment it's paul's hardware that's his youtube channel yes part one is on paul's hardware that's right go check that out and then come back here and watch the segment or you can watch this you you watch them out of order yes I talked a lot about a lot of stuff in the first half that you're going to need to know for the second half yes so you should really you should really watch every absolutely so uh guys welcome back to the show if you are just joining us also welcome we have a good show for you guys today and we're going to continue that right now so first off my first segment is going to be continuation of paul's which is the many announcements oh yes okay for those of you for those of you hated to start your show the past couple weeks i know i'm just being so ahead of myself I appreciate all right so for those of you who missed it and are just joining us I'm doing a new segment on here called pit my pc which is an obligatory ripoff of the pimp my setup segment that matt philly does on his own channel twitch dot I'm sorry youtube.com slash swashing TV go ahead and check him out of the arashi but he has such a great idea for a show that I just couldn't help but let me lappy it and just totally steal it take it where I basically will take you get your guys's pictures of your PC's of your desktops and Paul and I will kind of just look at them and tell you how you can improve upon your personal rigs so since kyle is doing this show now Matt's unable to do pimp my setup anymore so our apologies for that but trust me this show here is going to be totally totally worth that trade-off I don't think that's absolutely true that the license moved over T not a trance Errol your name know about that anyway favorite paper works the way if you guys would like to participate personally in this segment of mine that's coming up later on the show go ahead and tweet me pictures of your system at my twitter handle is at forever a kyle and make sure that your side panel is off of your case so that we can actually see the insides of it and and give you some more feedback that way so go ahead and tweet me those pictures guys but let's move on to my first segment which is tech news first off I don't know you've probably heard about this Paul I think everyone's heard about this at some point this week gigabyte overtakes asus as the largest motherboard vendor which now what is citing I did see this yeah I read articles yeah no I didn't read articles I read headlines oh okay what did what are they using to quantify biggest what is biggest biggest essentially means in this case that one vendor has shipped more motherboards in the first quarter event another so they looking at quantity of mother looking at UNT of motherboard ship which is an indication of sales as well and and and to clarify there's different ways of quantifying like companies when you're comparing one to the other we have come specifically or units sold or anything like that so asus overall is still massive no yeah huge when you look at the amount of stuff that asus does when it comes not just to motherboards which they do a great job on laptops laptops but in all those finished goods there's lots of stuff that they dabble and gigabyte as well yeah as a whole range of stuff and actually that's that's a fun thing about going to CES as you see the stuff that gigabyte like can't sell in the US right like i was at CES and they had a lamp it was a lampstand remember that do you member this I don't remember morning so I was a little lamp stand right okay little bass like that and it just had a USB plug that you plug into your laptop and the lampstand had an optical drive in it and like a USB hub and a card reader that's pretty awesome like this suite is it's like a lamp and you sit it on your desk this is just one for USB into your laptop and then you have an optical drive if you have like a slim thing and I was like why this is this is cool I've never known allowed to be that useful yeah but it's not sold in the US no only only like the Eastern culture thinks of these awesome things you know I don't share them with us or stupid Americans that's why we have to take national beer day for ourselves that's right by the way its national beer day everyone could it also be much more tequila day kyle is switched to tequila we were out of beer you have a beer out of usable beer okay I have to save the rest he's saving the rest for Coachella this right hand all right but I'm cheers Cheers yeah okay now you have to count on that damn it yeah mmm slow but surely all right so continuing on with this little segment here so gigabyte if you want to know the pure numbers they shipped 4.8 million motherboards in the first quarter of this year well asus or issues tech shipped about 4.5 million so they're about point three million up on Asus those gigabyte errs um and that's that's pretty good i'm gonna make that a think about your gigabyte us yeah just you know improvin but both of them sadly we are still quite short of their 20 million units units shipped annually so each of them have a quota of 20 million that's that's their goal is to ship 20 million motherboards per year so at 4.5 and 4.8 million i mean they should be making at least five million per quarter to meet to meet that goal so there's a couple reasons for this right i mean there hasn't been as much of a demand for pcs in the pc market for the first quarter hopefully we're gonna see that start to pick up in the second and third quarters especially with like Black Friday and and the holidays of course everything kind of just goes up in general for most markets that way but it's been a little bit slow in this first quarter which is understandable but both game by 10 acs are still I don't say light years but they are far ahead of their competitors like asrock and msi for example just in terms of motherboards all right we're just talking about the boards here so as rock and msi are trailing behind at about 1.4 to 1.6 million units shipped um it are you talking about quality of product you're just talking about units we're just talking about units sold but you should clarify that yeah whoa do you ever want to get sampled anything from msi you should clear no yeah of course of course of course this is only newest sales it's just number of units shipped Hey look they have a picture of the msi GTA titan sli i think i'm doing a video on that pretty soon well that will be a fascinating video k sighs just a teaser so well Oh actually why do they have that here but oh because all there isn't a shin of msi know this this brings up a good point is that companies like asrock and msi who are trailing behind in the motherboard department are looking for new avenues to branch into besides motherboards themselves so as right for example is they're turning to enterprise oriented solutions and msi is you just saw why why is that picture there it's because they're also branching out into the gaming notebook business that you're gonna say like hi fashion because I think that's somewhere that asrock should go with their products high fashion yes I'd like to see an asrock like display at Paris Fashion Week yeah that would be cool anyway anyway that's some some some interesting concepts no debate yes great job that bet basically that's what this story is congrats again mites and I think so wet think when you look at something like this like what it comes down to cos look for some reason when I when you first started talking about this story i was reminded very very much of a sir right now because acer is like they move more monitors than anyone yeah and it's not very well known that acer is like I think they are the biggest volume I could be wrong here so sorry if I'm wrong but I know they're at least very very high up there right as far as the biggest volume seller of monitors right but it's because ASA really got that market that people spend a lot of money in yeah and not not like big dollars but lots of people spend smaller amounts of money yes like you can go you could buy an acer 1080 you know decent 20 25 bucks or something like that and that's really where they kind of captured that market right I think that's where gigabyte actually has a lot of a lot going on for them to say the higher end offerings there's anything wrong with them at all like they make great motherboards all through the stack yeah but when you look at like a what is this one the z97 pd3 you know a z97 board that does everything you want it to do that has no extra bells and whistles that is rock solid and is inexpensive 120 bucks or something like that I have no idea how much this actually cost but that's what I'm talking about it's like if it has no one is yet you're looking at that value propositions proposition of gets the job done right is reliable and you know doesn't cost a ton of money and yeah I think that's where gigabyte has done well especially over this past year yep absolutely and then you know I've been personally happy with gigabyte boards I've got one of my test bed right now I've got the the ud for p @ x 99 and that's been doing really well as far as the one behind Paul right now which is my daily driver for all my editing stuff I've got the X 9 gaming Wi-Fi g1 at the games you one Wi-Fi which is they're both excellent boards had to update the bios and stuff but got it working quite easily so gigabyte is definitely killing it right now and obviously the numbers show that apart from that i will say that that's all i have to say that there's nothing apart from that i would also like to add nothing not zero additional things so moving on congratulations gigabyte so Stanford creates an aluminum phone battery that charges in one minute what those Stanford guys I tell you they are on intelligent crack or something this is overrun maximum pc by the way that last story was from hex is that yes thank you so similar aluminum batteries in the past have have shown to die after the first 100 cycles of charging which is not consumer friendly you can't just have a smartphone that only you get to charge 100 times before it completely taps out on you but these ones can withstand over 7500 cycles without any loss of capacity which is actually a lot more than typical lithium ion batteries which can only handle about a thousand cycles which is why after having to this phone for two years i have to charge it almost once a day even when i don't use it that much so it has a very limited number of cycles compared to this new aluminum how much of an impact do the purple gloves have on the batteries ability to charge quickly oh this blue gloves too I hear I hear the purple gloves actually give you higher recharge ability than the blue ones I like the purple gloves yeah we gotta go circle okay but it could be bad color correcting in the video I'm not sure uh but there are certain besides besides having more which we call it more more life cycles to more recharge cycles then their lithium-ion counterparts they're also a number of other features that aluminum ion cells have over there lie I on brethren I should say including they are cheaper like aluminum ion cells are just a lot more cheap than than lie I on so I don't I say keep saying like I on reading it lithium ion batteries additionally they're not as flammable which is good if you have like kids and stuff you want them to catch on fire I guess most people these days aren't saving the kids on fire like they don't explode people they don't explode or catch on fire when their punctured like lithium ion their higher capacity which we've already talked about and they're flexible which kind of introduces some you know maybe futuristic ideas about what batteries are going to be like living down the road um but the prototype that Stanford's produced days I'll yes apparently we're having some major audio sync issues and there are lots of requests to restart the stream you always sabotage my part well I did it intentionally but I think it might I don't like you okay let's let's try a retiree about they then Rebecca 1020 130 400 and we're back and we're back hopefully it's working now guys let us know if the audio video sink is ok if it's not we'll try troubleshooting it a bit more but the show must go on so um until we hear further notification from you guys I'm just going to continue on where we left off which was on this aluminum phone battery thing that can charge in under a minute which is pretty impressive what I was saying earlier is that the the prototype that Stanford's produced for this aluminum ion battery has about half the voltage of a standard lithium ion battery which isn't very promising but the folk was good now by the way good I'll thanks everyone but the folks behind this this new battery type says that it's simply a matter of improving the cathode material of the battery now this is very technical and I don't know the ins and outs of battery facilitation and like that but the challenge is finding materials that can produce enough voltage after multiple charge and discharge cycles and actually it's kind of interesting because Stanford accidentally discovered that using graphite which is essentially carbon offered really good performance over other materials they discovered accidentally I love accidental discoveries me too so I think Corsair should create a power supply in their graphite series that uses graphite that would be a good selling point anyway this as long as they continue to improve this cathode material on this could potentially mean a future battery for smartphones that doesn't suck that you don't have to four or five hours to charge and that'll that'll last you quite a bit longer that's it looks like it that's like a sea change like that's freaking huge like yeah it is huge it is really huge adding that everything falls that falls into the category yeah of things that I used to do 20 years ago that were regular normal everyday things that will just be gone like my regular thing right now is when I go to bed i plug in my phone yep and when I get up in the morning it's charged yeah like and who knows maybe I'll still do that just cuz it's normal or whatever but like to charge your phone like how quick in a minute and have in a freaking minute a minute that's brilliant yeah yeah even it half the voltage of a lithium-ion battery you're still talking okay maybe that's fifty percent voltage but that's thousands upon thousands of percent better charge time so as long as they can keep revising the the cathode material that's used to to create these batteries and to sustain the life cycles in them they can potentially increase the voltage with future revisions and still maintain a one minute charge time that'd be awesome which is pretty great a battery improvements is one of the things that's like it has so much potential yes not just for like convenience of things like like cell phones that sort of thing the right comes like transportation and look cars vehicle think it has a lot of potential because it's so limited like we're always so limited by battery yeah so seeing vast improvements in that is really quite exciting but moving out of the next story the rocket our friends at roccat or rocket rocket our friends our rockets are coming out with their candy roccat from you used to call it roccat that's before head but let's anti-party got that from you before I met the CEO he's like just call it rock that's like Uncle you see you broke it we walked to their booth at CES no topic takes two and a half years ago I didn't exist it back on he was really cool I was I remember it's very nice guy i was i was a held captive in the hotel room editing videos oh yeah hours on end yeah i'm excited about that so rocket is coming out with their new cave xtd 5.1 analog surround headset know which is pretty cool this is the successor to the OG cave that they came out with not too long ago but its twenty five percent lighter it's got a dual-mode remote so you can switch between stereo and 5.1 surround when you're getting into the nitty-gritty gaming experience or you're just watching some movies you want that more immersive sound sound level it's interesting angle on that picture it is kind of unique red because the microphones pointed the other way but I think maybe they're just showing I design it makes the can see what you huge right like which I'm not opposed to like you'd look like Princess Leia which I'm not opposed to because I'm I don't care how big or goofy they look because of them using them at home no one's gonna see me anyway okay and as long as they're like I said they're twenty-five percent lighter than the original cage which I believe we're already pretty like to begin with so the fact that they're twenty-five percent lighter is a good sign that means they're going to be more comfortable potentially and you'll be able to wear them for longer periods of time the microphone also has an LED tip on it which lights up every time you speak into it so it tells you when the microphones active or muted which is kind of a nice visual indication to just see if your if your mics on I've never seen a bird of that before yeah and I'm very interested how useful that would be I mean you I mean I can see if your mics you know you if it's a flex mic which it looks like it is you could potentially just look down and see that your oh my mic sliding up were you able to tell how you need it like is there I think it's probably a in line it's probably an inline as an inline switch probably an inline switch yeah don't quote me on that but that's probably one guess we are to see like how well you can see that in your peripheral vision like a light on it well I mean you might just have to go you might have to like peel it back a little bit if it's flexible and stuff I mean I can usually see my mod Mike when I'm when I'm gaming is and what not actually no I've decided that I like it and I want this I'll use it while streaming and then when your street we see the way I'm on you busy this sounds like a little light pops up yeah in front of your face every time you talk yeah i think it's a it's interactive it's a cool missoula stimulating right so like visual stimulation exactly it additionally it's got 40 millimeter drivers on both ends align precisely at a 12 degree angle to match the natural form of your ear so I guess maybe the way the driver is oriented can affect how how clear it's coming into your ear or maybe just how evenly it's it's a the sound ism is entering your ear yeah um you know they're getting pretty technical here at this point but it also features 30 millimeter vibration drivers which I asked you earlier around those are those are I mean a vibrating headphone so maybe this just means that they can vibrate you know when the subwoofer maybe is like is being blasted out or when there's you know extreme frequencies of certain type that are higher decibel than others maybe a vibration occurs and that gives you a bit more like feel of motion or or some kind of immersion i'm not sure but some haptic feedback yeah that's the case I hope there's an off switch because I don't think everyone will be into that yeah I don't know if I would want by brandy and only thing like that you need to be able to turn off yes I mean it's not always practical to I mean you might write you might like it but in certain situations you can have your headphones vibrating exactly what if your listen to your ipod with this thing yeah what if you don't want you know Taylor Swift to be vibrating your ears while you're listening to her hit single what if you're replying on that I do it if you're reclining against the pile of like sleeping puppies with your headphones on that's another use case scenario breathe a very common they could wake up wake up the puppies I deal with this on it on the daily so hopefully that's something that's something that I think headphone manufactures for jobs that are absolutely can uh this is the first analog headset of its kind of feature an interference isolator 40 noise essentially that gives you zero electromagnetic interference from other devices that's good um so that's cool that's the first of its kind for an analog headset it's also get an inline remote which allows you to adjust the various parameters of 5.1 surround individually and independently so you can control the volume of your Center left right and subwoofer independently of each other with his in line I do love vibrant rollers yes vibrating things are always good that was pointed out in chat yeah yeah but I mean this is kind of cool that they're coming out with 5.1 analog as opposed to digital I know a lot of people are you know on the on the analog bandwagon as opposed to USB digital especially when it comes to something like this depends where your source is coming from yes it does cuz yeah I mean I on the music it depends on the game quality yeah and most people when it comes down to it what I feel like you know we get to the hairy I want analog because they want to have their own source set up and usually the source will end up with an analog output ranking just need a hand headphones in order to achieve that yeah I kind of wonder how these will fall in line against the the Kingston's the the clouds yeah so the Kingston's our digital to their digital 5.1 analog from from everything I can see there they're pretty much on par with each other okay I think these are a bit more pricey they're due out mid-april for about 120 bucks which I believe you can get the Kingston ones for a hundred now yeah the new HyperX cloud to Suzy so these are going to need to show some improvement or some significant features that differentiate them from the HyperX cloud tues because right well if you look at headsets that have come out I think in the past your year to you think the cloud tues I think are killing it yeah they're they're widely accepted by a lot of reviewers to be you know if you're looking at headsets and you're not looking at like hirens headphones like likes to do skype type stuff you know the one thing that might sell me on a rocket cave over a cloud to HyperX cloud to excuse me is the microphone if the microphone is killer on this cave on this headset then i might justify the extra 20 bucks because that's like i think half of a headset that's what makes it a headset not headphones is the microphone if you're doing VoIP and and you're chatting a lot in game then the microphone is very important it's a lot of something that a lot of vendors overlook they're like well we'll just slap a microphone shitty two-dollar microphone in there and we'll brand it as a headset yeah but that's literally half of what us gamers are looking for in a headset is good quality mic and the cloud to as amazing as the sound is for a hundred bucks it really does have a really good sound with all the tests that I did with it the microphone isn't that hot it's just it's just a kind of a crap biking in my in my personal opinion so if you know for an extra twenty dollars you can get the the rocket cave and it has a killer Mike I would say go for it and all the other things I feel are a bit gimmicky like the I don't know being able to control the like or the interference isolator 40 noise I mean I don't really deal with lexter electrostatic frequency interference on the reg you know what with any of the headsets that i use currently so I mean that might be like some kind of excuse for a markup you know some marketing markup but i don't know i think i think it boils down to the mic like you said it the cloud 2 is a viable option so it's going to boil down for me personally it's going to boil down to house the mic sound so and a number thats quite a bit of speculation you're completely you're just accepting that these are gonna have really good sound no i'm saying if it's on par with everything sounds is on part of them yeah exactly okay break it because i mean the the cloud tues have 50 millimeter drivers which aren't going to be we're going to be just marginally better sounding than the 40 mil millon millimeter drivers on this so it boils down to the mic for me so I think I think Matt's in chat and I don't know what he's talking about Matt Philly Oh splashing AO time and he said he's contacting people and I don't know what he's talking about he might just be responded somebody in chat I don't know if he's trying to hold us Oh what's what's going on that I think he said he said we can't he said you can't do your segment anymore no I sees cutting it out I spoke with him earlier he said it was really not a lot about it was like I don't want you guys ripping off my my no Mets Mets a cool guy I you know it's his intellectual property you think he's gonna file a patent lawsuit against this actually just loop it in with the millions samsung all right so that's pretty much all i have to say about the rocket cave be sure to look out for it mid april four hundred twenty bucks and now it's on to our next segment which is not pin my pc sorry not know if the stage I that you're gonna wait a little bit longer if I do the next one after this we're doing face off we're gonna face off yeah that's the game y'all love it's the one that Paul loves to lose at I always lose where you go ahead to head and play it online crappy online two-player game and the loser has to do something stupid and you guys just let us know in the chat what you would like used to do having predetermined what they know I like the crowd source aspect of it you know then you should a crowdsourced it at the beginning like you're doing with your mat Philly ripoff these guys are good and these guys are good at coming up with ideas left and right you wishing they don't need extra time but to take a picture and tweet it you know they have to take their side seven years out of Vegas and you're gonna gain and you're like hey I'm gonna gamble yeah and you go up to a table and you're like I want to gamble like how much money do you want a gambling I don't care you're just like I don't care i'll gamble whatever here's my wallet whatever's in there like you just don't you know why you to determine what the what the repercussions are anything like that somehow in Vegas I'm more coherent than I am on the show so no I just you have true is not in a row as tell you should have not be wise you should not be lying dude ever see me in Vegas yeah I apologize for Kyle like your appalling and I machine by something it's a kid okay alright so let's agree let's get on with the show here we're gonna play some soccer physics this is another terrible game that I found actually is a reasonable one Sharpie glasses sure yeah I know I pointed that out earlier I think it's great you know you would look really good with a can't you're already wearing them I have to film tomorrow norwell come off look I'm ready Sharpie less this way all rights bring the keyboard over here do we even know how to control this yes there's an up arrow and a w alright so this is low one little button yep I didn't do well at the one button game last time it's very say I have W and I have up also love arrow you should show people at the hills million yes show them fall this is soccer physics show them now this is soccer fish so we're playing soccer with physics that's all this is that in all this game is that is the entire introduction yep and two players until I really ok this one alright so you're on the left I'm on the right I saw fit button to somehow control your team it really says to sign i love this i love the instruction to love it already all right ready hey sure let's play first of three all right let's go Edward last ten all right where's the ball oh no there we go ah look at that look at that no name no get in there uh user head I'm daddy's my head what are you you David Beckham get a freakin gold know oh yeah block it why am I go in the room oh you can't go forward look at these in my head this is silly use your head Paul use your head oh thank you happen do did you see that headshot though look at a soccer headshot oh we got a beach ball each fall babe I'm not play anymore busy route this doesn't count what are you doesn't count mr. baby fine I'll give that one to you cuz it feel sorry for you no please go to go why can't I go hey why don't you go okay all rights 121 that cuz that one that didn't count okay fine I wasn't looking oh oh my god i want to instant replay on it you see that that literally went between both interpreters at the same time hey you lose awesome already stupid game are we done no you said vested oh we need to win through now remember I gave you one I gave you one so the first person with three wins so it's too okay so as I wanted to yes ah showers side up all right up please move back Barney total oqy execute launch across the entire Matt all right oh just just I think once once you go pass the ball just headed the ball back into my own goal Wow ah I need to already and that concludes this segment of face off yes yes we also go ahead we really need to play like masterpiece theatre music or something like i'm old on this segment okay some people are saying you should strip down naked yeah you can shave your head you should delete your YouTube channel yeah yeah whatever people have about how good I am yeah and we have this we have this moment of the bag is so exciting now so anti climactic alright well we'll think of something for for Paul to do this is the traditional way that the faceoff goes is you only ten dollars i like that ten bucks yeah yeah all right you'll just buy lunch next time hello look on the next episode kits rooster hey Brewster hey rooster thanks for stepping in hope you're not too cooked up you forgot about our show yeah uh so just to prove to the fans I think that you paid your dues for this for this huge huge failure on your part yeah I think I should eat part of the lunch on next episode of blossom hardware eat part of the lunch be part of the lunch that you buy me because you owe me lunch you owe me lunch next week on the nose less though now yes this is a monetary well it was ten dollars i just i would like lunch I see so bring woman in that case that means you would have to show up next week well I mean even if it's you know GTA day and we just do GTA I still want to be fed that's fine well I'll do that oh I'll Drive you how do you how that I can do you can buy me like you know stagers okay Billy well that's all for face off yeah Toki fifth yeah joyed face-up game I don't think you all right for the record I don't think you've ever won now I have a segment we're on episode 8 now yeah and we've probably done at least 60 views clearly you've clearly chosen a game every time that you well here's the thing so when I take a game for face off like a half I have to play it first just to make sure that it's playable yeah because saw these games I find are not playable they don't not really always has an advantage going into it it's really it's not really an advantage because I'm playing both characters you know I don't even know if the hell I'm doing I'm just making sure that the buttons work yeah and i'm like i can clearly be Paul this game no Chrome well Johnson just like I always say all right 32 notifications here Kyle alright so now let's move on to the segment that I've been hyping up since the beginning of today's stream which is the pin my pc segment in obligatory awesome hardware rip off of Matt phillies pimp my setup which you guys can find on youtube.com slash swashing TV SWA shi NTV I can spell Johnson yeah go ahead and check him out he's got a great show going on there I was a special guest on his show earlier this week Paul was a special guest a few weeks before that he's got a lot of huge people on his show including Linus and I think he's got our friend sergeant ballistic me well and I said you okay I said you didn't group him now being group me with the huge people you're not you ain't there yet good it was gotta pay your dues son tran anyway go check out Matt Phillies channel pin my setup isn't awesome awesome a bit that he does but it's so awesome that we decided to steal it so we're gonna do what's called pimp my pc where you guys send in pictures to me and paul and we go ahead and not only rate them but just give you guys tips on how to improve the look and overall feel of your pc whether it's tidy the cable management up or you know color coordinate some things here and there whatever it may be you guys we give you guys some feedback personally something from us are you some of them are really impressive well and i kind of expected that because not everyone's me like I'm gonna send the picture of my shitty spc a lot of them are like go out awesome please say let's see what kind of critiques they can make on me a lot of people do that is Matt though a lot of people do that with that too look if people sense that's true had I like why would you send that picture I don't know you know part of it's probably for the walls but anyway let's let's start off with the with some of these why don't you just I'm going to task you with picking out doing all the work we do it'll work and then organic the bad guys it's on my half of the show I'm on top of that you're tall you're in control you are in control and I'd be it'd be awkward to reach over your body well yeah and you know try to be kind of you kind of control together see I'm such soft hands I know right let's start off with this one which was sent over okay wait who sent this over and and by the way I want to try to get through four or five of these it depends on how much Paul and I elaborate and what how much they're how much content there is to talk its us from Aden fryer but we're gonna try do four or five 8nf one two three on Twitter okay this is an inert album no 305 he's building that note three or four three or four yeah that you knew fractal products same uh so here's here it is Josh make the bigger let's see it I like the strict in there the 970 strict I think it is it looks really nice okay very clean actually Betty management that's not to a cooler yes wow that is pretty beefy the least amount of clearance space I've seen with the cooler in a system like this like but I have gym and yet it fits traded yeah I have to admire that he's actually utilizing and most of the space in the node 304 because i did a building here in this case before and it didn't use up nearly as much space which I felt like it was kind of wasted on the case yeah but here it's like you get really good cooling because you have an awesome knocked to a cooler in there and you're actually maximizing your potential there for this is a seven a seven hundred sixty watt power supply okay of course rx7 60 which i don't think is little overkill on the power supply I mean unless we don't know we don't really know what the core components are here true as far as i can tell i don't know what what else is so so I mean this has been my pc so what could he do what could this person do to kind of fix things up tidy things up a bit I mean the first thing that comes to mind is cable management could look a little tidier I know it's difficult in the mini ITX case but especially right here in the picture that we're seeing I think maybe tightening all of those up and putting them into groups making kind of one constant or just a few constant streams of cables as opposed to kind of like cable spaghetti I think what's really nice and also helps things like air flow because you have those too I think they're 80 are they 80 millimeter fans in there 120 neither 121 in the middle is big it's it's larger than 120 dynamis the circuit oh I'm sorry this this cooler there's different configurations I believe you can do with this cool i'm at the front of the case well in front of the case case fans I think there's 2 120's think it's a one or no that's a 148 different and then there's two in the front right yeah there's two cases there's two case not to fret the front yeah looking at the back yeah there's two there's two fans there whatever they are I think that's 2 120's it's very important in the node 304 that you have good cable management because most of those extra cables go right at the front of that case where you have to your only two intake fans right there so if you have a bunch of bunched up cables and they're not super nice and neat you can be impeding a lot of airflow that would otherwise be like what otherwise benefit the noctua cooler that you have in there as well as your your-your-your Strix gtx 970 so I would definitely like that in a bit I'm just guessing okay I just call it a 970 because it looks like it sounds reason Tom but that would be my opinion there's obviously no kind of window aspect here so I'm not going to say like throwing some what's an a7 sleeved cables or anything like that but all in all it is a very nice looking pc i don't have a whole lot to add to be perfectly honest when it comes to a system the small i like that you're able to fit that that entire big cooler in the front yeah the ax 760 is a full fully modular power supply that's the only question that popped up into my head was would there be some way to reduce the amount of cables in there and I wasn't sure if this is fully modular with egg 760 is only modular and platinum Phoenix let's platinum so um that's a nice build yeah first first pic here and I can't I can't really come up with too much that you could do to like improve rad the other things that I'm not sure up here like what your situation with the Coulee on the cpu yeah really i have no idea there if it's a i mean it's got to be a low profile or something going on in there what the hell my talk about it's a good script the noctua cooler what am I talking about yeah I don't know I don't know first never mind i was gonna mention the drives whatever drives might be in there yeah he's got a hard you over there i believe an SSD Drive Lance's teeth but yeah I mean when it comes to working with the case of small there's you know there's not a whole lot you can do so true thanks Bill all in all nice yeah I could I like to yeah alright moving on the next one okay got here let's let stroma 0 mind and now no I don't want to pick your setups guys we just want to pimp your PC's because pimp your set pin my setup is a completely different show that has nothing to do with this one and is completely different in every way possible there are no similarities between ours and Matt Philly show they might but he sent a picture of his set up to I know that's why i said that's why i said don't don't do that so what do you think he could do here I think maybe his cable management could improve no we're not supposed to copy it exactly no different deaths is supposed to go low profile people don't realize that malaria is that we've actually ripped off this entire I like those modern isn't okay so let's talk about the computer then that isn't x99 to looks okay yes it is indeed you are a nice can't we can't see anything here that I like this going on I like how you have the white court corsair fans up there on your on your radiator I think that looks really great with the Xin deluxe from Asus um I also like the draft all the drives up top I like that too i like how you open up the airflow on the bottom of the case just give you a bit more healthy air flow to the video card is this a define r4 or define our five it's probably define our five because define our for you couldn't do that okay yeah that's a diviner got it then and I like how he has another fan another 140 it looks like on the bottom there I just really love all the airflow it looks like a really really cool literally a cool case like everything is great good good temp since the black and white looks great it does um actually that EVGA graphics card doesn't fit in as well with everything else yeah it's a little silver with the silver on the side and there's not a whole lot of other silver going on in the case the also the hx750 I and power supply if you're talking purely aesthetics here the blue the blue doesn't really match with the LEDs right so those are like two things I think aesthetically they kind of stick out to me a little bit yeah I like what you did with the drives put popping all the drives at the top that's I wouldn't have done with mine too is it does it make it top heavy though this looks like it would be really top heavy mmm because he got well he's got three you got three mechanical we go at the very top of the case honestly I'm only I only have a concern about that if he's moving the case around a lot yeah it fits ding stationaries I move much that's fine i also like it's it's interesting that the lower right here has so much open space but it actually looks like a nice open like air tunnel from the front for for bringing but does stuff back it definitely does and i don't know what else you would do with that anyway what up what I'm curious to know is why he didn't use another corsair fan for the exhaust on the back on the back be like that would just match it you know he doesn't get a buyer because you have to buy those well yeah I mean what I mean the I mean he does happen to the fan on the bottom and the fam the back matching but I feel like having that that white rim around aesthetically speaking but gonna brag i would guess that those are Corsairs SP fans static pressure since they're on a radiator oh yeah i'm just i'm talking about their AF series but actually the fan at the front right here and the fan of the top left have white rims and those are not fractal fans I don't know where those fans come from no I know I know I'm just I'm just thinking maybe having all the same type of case fan and radiator fan might bring the theme together a bit more yeah but all in all it's a very clean looking building clean um I think this is also like this is like there are certain cases and certain builds where you look at them and you're like there's really no need for them to custom sleeve cables because there's just so many other things wrong with it that custom sleeve cables wouldn't even make it look much better yeah but this is one of those that has potential to set to enter into the the factor the notion of possibility of custom custom sleeping your tables because it looks really nice so I think adding some custom sleep cables in there might just give it the edge it needs to really look like a showpiece I could make it oh yeah right when i get right now the cables are subtle and they kind of blend in right to say the cables can be a like more of a feature right um you know if you go for that but overall again very nice yep both of the builds we've looked at so far I've had a hard time finding too much fault with well done alright so here's another one this is from wrong oh he's got three different ones here let's just look at one of them are j & myers 1962 sometimes Ivan over here so let's look at this one first ooh okay to be quiet build so the first thing I noticed about this is very good cable management yes very tidy I like how you've removed the drive cage that you're not using to open up a bit more air flow coming in from the front of the case I think that was a smart move I like how you replaced your exhaust fan in the back with a beak another be quiet silent series fan or silent wings fan i should say but i'm a little confused as to the the overall theme and color scheme because you've got some green LED fans at the top which could do pretty well i think they're bitfenix fans i'm not sure but you've also got a red ROG I'm sorry now ROG it's an asrock bored so I think it kind of looks little Christmasy to me yeah the red and the green don't blend ryan SI me i would say red leds on those top fans or no leds are just straight black fans nice it'd be nice yeah i mean well the whole thing has like there's only a little bit of red in there that it's all for the motherboard and dim and the memory yeah um so yeah I'd say if it was all blacked out even like more more the be quiet fans new Gotham the op or something like that I think it would blend a little bit more for me right I have a very I'm very particular about LED case fans anyway I i do i'm not a big fan of them yeah big fans of hands yeah nah nice place yeah we have a cup i agree builds i think that were linked here hold on yep overall a nice looking build though oh we're gonna go through all okay wall down smooth tough steak what else just happen it was weird what's hard to see but we these are all from the same guy so let's let's look at him oh that was clean I like that okay sex it we got one more here this is from Carlo let's do like two or three more Carlo lutea Garlow there we go so again what you were saying Paul with the LED fans they can be a bigger they can be a nice accent when used appropriately or thing you be kind of distracting um I don't really see too many LED fans on the cpu cooler yeah but I kind of like it I see the potential for it if it's done correctly but I feel like you might need some additional LED fans in there just to complement that one fan because right when i look at it that's the only thing I see in the case is I'm looking straight at that led fan and it's very distracting but if you had some other LED fans may be at the top I mean it looks like you got some room with the top to mount some fans there may be four exhaust at the top of the case this looks like a 760 T case if i'm not mistaken so it's probably got some there's definitely got some fan mounts up there lots of room i think if you had some additional fans just like that exactly the same blue LED up there it would look really cool hmm but also we're going with the blue and red theme and I feel like blue and red doesn't bother me as much as red and green like the last one yeah where I can deal with it if that's your thing you know it's reading reading Green always says Christmas it does unless there's something else going on there right now but all in all again good cable management we're getting good cable management for these pictures yeah we haven't seen anything that looks like spelling worried or like cable monster okay if you just clean up those cables that look great yeah great great cable management and it was there I think there is to 5000 one thing that I would that I would be nitpicky about oh yeah let's moving on this next one the last that's the same ok chosen same system one thing I would be nitpicky about going back to this one is you have the second drive cage on top only accommodating a hard drive now if it were me I would probably try to find a way to just get like a five-minute quarter inch to three and a half inch adapter for that hard drive put it in the five and a quarter inch bay up top if there was room and just remove that drive cage all together just open up the air flow a bit that would really bother me but I don't think there's any dress below that but exactly yeah there's no SSD is there anything oh yeah that would be good good thing I need to find one more okay yeah the seven apt though you have a 780 teeth all right and you love right it's a great case 762 oh you have to summon 62 that's right 780 is the crazy water cooling one um the cool let's do two more Gary let's do two more Gary 971 do it do it I'll do it do it right she said I'm just creating stiller this is all I got that okay here's my boobs yeah I like how they're using the hashtag pin my pc nice you guys should definitely do that all the time do that all the time when you send me pictures from now on for this segment that way we could we could probably more easily organize them and arrange them what gpus are those those might be tightened or cuz imma days a whole wide range of GPUs that those might be indeed Titan 787-8 eTI's nine 80s right I'm kind of curious so what do you think well what about the build overall or build overall um what stands out to you so I like to build over all this again looks like a 760 T if i'm not mistaken actually I'm pretty sure this is a 760 to because of this the amounts on the back right I like the hardware that I'm seeing in here yeah you're gonna msi what I'm guessing I believe that's a z97 motherboard or maybe as the 87 I like the SLI configuration um I would say with those cable extensions that are all whites those could be bunched up a little bit better I feel like they they're they're a little bit kind of little loose in there so maybe maybe some type of some white zip ties or even black zip ties and a couple positions along each of those extension some white zip ties I think would look really nice I could clean that up a little bit the thermaltake power supply I'm sure as great as a power supply the the logos and images on it look horrible it looks like a 90 it's like orange good you got the thermaltake orange and you got a blue streak going in there for some reason and there's also some neon green for no apparent reason right um I would want to cover that up somehow if this is going to be more of a showpiece especially this is 760 T right it has a big old side panel window that would stand out to me maybe get like a cool custom decal for it that fits right over that yeah something like that or her a power supply cover yeah I think those like those two things that they clean up those cables a little bit and did something about that power supply would make everything tying a lot more other than that you've got mostly black with some white some yellow on the MSI motherboard and some green on the on the logos for the for the cards would have been a video cards yeah so the green and the yellow is like okay like it's not it's not the best matching wise but right they would pass but yeah you got to get rid of some of some of the stuff in the power supply think if you want everything that to kind of tie in yeah exactly agree yep but nice build-up to agreed good yeah no management again I'm so happy all these builds that such good cable management I know you see it's so many like builds that are just like like just put it all yeah we had some disasters on with you every one pin my setup with Matt oh yeah Jesus the buzzer those are always fun to talk about they are getting so big alright and let's let's do our last one before we wrap up this segment here and move on in the next one all right let's go for Mitch Mitch and Ben hunter sent us a gate what what oh come on what oh okay we have to show this one wait did he seriously show both of these so he used an xbox 360 in closure for a pc been hunter senses this picture over which is an xbox 360 xbox 360 yeah I haven't drank as much this week as I drink last week you just are getting stupider he said max temps GPU 70 CPU 50 at San I 533 30 and a gtx 660 in there I'm impressed Wow good job very good job the ultimate console killer now granted I can well he's got the power supply apparel yeah so you have to kind of work to like where you set that and where everything else is gonna be set up but I like that I like so wait wait so those are going where those cable just something this is this is a pet this is the IO for the motherboard will ya this is the graphics card he must have put on a probably a PCI Express extension cable so he could angle it vertically room that's a mini ITX motherboard and then he got extensions or something else for all of the internal power connectors so that he could feed them at the back and connect them to the power supply as far as I can tell oh oh icic his power supply power supplies is a box sitting on the Maccabiah wow interesting yeah and I hope you don't run this on the carpet all the time by the way oh yeah put that up somewhere where people can see it that's really interesting though alright well imma get this last one from mich md this is his rig he's showing us right here's a medical doctor mitcham do ya look at that it's not cooler right there so we got a that's an AMD scores it is taken for sure do that is get some blue dims possibly and this is my say this is probably the first of of the segment where could use some a little bit of cable management help Kayla measurement could use some love there yeah I mean you've got what what case is this this is a I don't know what okay there's the hex I don't recognize or just heard this drive cage thing going on but it looks like you've got some space behind the motherboard tray at least at least some routing holes if not a routing hold that you at least got like a like a little slick area you can tuck them behind utilize that because you're paying for that feature not all cases have that and it looks like you could stash some of that cable input your supplemental cpu power which is going right across the front right which is functional but a little bit garish when it comes to Kayla management's discussion so yeah right any anything you can do to route that behind the mother work again we don't know what case this is so if this happens to be one of those cases that just has no room behind the motherboard tray which I really can't tell from and does it because you look like as video cards plug into a lower slot I mean maybe not everyone yes I mean as long as it's you know the just capable slot then you're good but you might want to go I've done yeah it looks like there is actually what I think is a USB right maybe a USB 3.0 that's what it looks at it here because it looks like there's a plug going to the front of the case yeah so maybe had one of those internal pass through USB 3.0 lets you plugged in internally i would say um swamp-like functionally if you have the same amount of lanes available on both blogs yeah it shouldn't really be a thing some people will say well there's distance there and that adds some degree of latency even though it's the speed of light yeah times like four inches or whatever right so yes ultimately when it comes down to it the top slot is going to be the most ideal sure and it might help out your cable management a little bit especially since you've got a cable going across that expansion card need to drop that down to one of the lowest slots you maybe hide it a little bit more because it looks like that I'll yeah he's getting closer to your power supply just kind of back and bring that bring that GPU up a little bit higher getting the GP up a little bit higher to a lot a little bit more airflow through there you can get it away from that power supply will also be potentially an improvement as well right and and definitely get some blue dims I mean consider getting some some blue sticks of memory and saving those ones as backup because you always anyone can they always benefit from backup ram trust me uh and ever it'll just look a lot nicer overall or if you don't want to spend more money on upgrades or anything right now yeah like well mouth good pull them out mask off mask off obviously be a hot tax yeah mascot the PCB and you can spray paint them I mean right it's not something you wanna do yeah that'd be cool too but definitely has potential yeah nice build oh thanks guys thanks everyone who submitted builds yeah absolutely and also guys let me know what you think of this segment I want to know if I should be doing this more consistently or if I should access all together it's terrible and screw you for copying that um but let me know let us know in the chat if you like this type of thing I think it's I think it's fun because its interactive with the audience with you guys and impala naughty to check out your rigs and just see what you guys with you guys have right because not in your segment jelly does a straight jelly bra alright cool well thank you guys for participating I really appreciate all of you guys sending in those pictures it really helped out the segment a lot because obviously wouldn't exist without all of your participation so on that note on a closing finale we are going to do some Q&A where we take your questions and we try to answer them to the best of our abilities oh good so go ahead and tweet at us Paul's hardware at all hardware on Twitter or at forever Kyle or you can just blow up our chat at twitch right here and we'll try to answer whatever you guys might have those bills little balls um word Jetboy 71 said he's gonna hand me some peanut butter to go with my jelly oh hell no I'm a jelly ah I'm jelly your segment oh no he didn't ah okay I thought that was pretty fantastic um wow is that question I recently all right what's what's dead Angley felon I don't know if this is I recently overclocked my 4690 k which is cooled by corsair h60 with a 120 millimeter a year able to Diana style in a stable overclock of 4.4 megahertz at one point 19 volts ran Intel burn test few times and ran prime95 for four hours with no problems also been with cinebench my idle temps were 25 to 30 c load temps were 75 to 80 i don't dare push higher overclock due to my cooling restrictions i was wondering if there's anything else you'd recommend to help test stability any thoughts would help get a better cooling solution or under clock I mean a coarser age 60 75 80 see max you could even go hotter than that you can go yeah I don't see it up to 90 ish even if you wanted to push it further but 4.4 at 1.9 is very nice yeah keeping that voltage down for me is it great yeah great to be able to do you will lengthen life of your CPU over the higher voltage / clocks that are out there so if you're looking for a daily overclock that you just leave there and don't change 4.4 1.19 volts i'd say stick with that you seem like you're sitting pretty good prime95 an Intel burn test are both synthetic tests that put way more of a load on your cpu than you'll ever experience with anything that you do normally right so I think you're practically sitting pretty pretty well right there yep say if you are concerned with any kind of cooling issues or cooling capacity I would also suggest going to the into your you a fi and seeing if it supports adaptive voltage and switching it over to that once you've dialed in your overclock because instead of running at the same voltage at all times to your overclock settings it'll actually dial down whenever you're at a low-power state and you're just idling that way you're not burning on unnecessary calories for your computer so to speak one hour so that's also a good thing to do check out adaptive voltage settings there's another question from zero mind who asks with nvme consumer drives emerging like the Intel 750 series mmm which I did video AMA JJ this this past week do you think there's any reason to invest in a non nvm em2 pcie drive at the moment or should I wait until nvme stuff becomes more prevalent um it's hard to say depending on your needs and what you do with your computer and like how frequently you use it because for me if you need something now and you're going to use it now than buy it now like with PCs you can always always always say well in a month or in two months or three months or in six months there's going to be something better that's just something you have to accept you you know people build pcs learn that really early on like I just did to a 980 SLI configuration and I was ready for NVIDIA to launch the Titan Dex I was like you know and videos coming out we're going to come out with something it's gonna be better and my you know fastest GPU updated in aren't gonna be fastest anymore it's just kind of something you have to come around to territory that said nvme is pretty awesome but even what you can get right now with m2 and pcie still using HCI is still very impressive yeah the amount of performance you get with nvme like when we're talking about like the 750 which if you get to 1.2 terabyte version can go upwards of twenty to twenty four twenty seven hundred megabytes per second reads on the drive in about 1.2 to 1.4 bytes per second rights it's hard to make use of that much speed for one and the PCIe drives that are still HD ahci can still do a good amount i mean you can still find pcie drives that are HD i mean granted they're the newer ones but that can do over 1 1.2 gigabytes per second reads and writes yum so yeah if if you find something that's cost-effective it works for you than yes go ahead and dive in if you're waiting for nvme then wait for nvme I think we're expecting between cute or the end of q2 this year around June and through to the end of the year we're expecting to see a lot more nvme stuff come out we're going to see some new platforms launch or hopefully a new platform launched on the Intel side which might have some new updates in that area and then what we're also going to see is the manufacturers of motherboards actually updating their current boards as well as older boards depending on the manufacturer and how how how invested they are yeah I'm going back and updating so that in your motherboard selection menu you can choose not only ide and HCI and raid mode but also nvme mode right them which which is what you need in order to use those drives nice a pop a squat asked which is better 4790 k or 5820 k only a fifty dollar difference on newegg going to be doing some gaming and video / photo editing and uh 5820 k is just better in general if you're just talking like yes or no answer hmm and for video photo editing I would say go to the K 20 K if you're doing it professionally and you're doing it for not just leisure but it's like for you know a side job that you have going on you really want the most out of here if you're doing it a lot but you're in a lot but you also have to keep in mind that when you're jumping up to 58 20 k you're not just looking at the difference in the price between the 47 90 k and the 5820 k which might be only about 50 bucks you do for you're also looking at you're going to need ddr4 memory instead of ddr3 you're going to be the next 99 motherboard instead of a Z 97 and xam motherboards and ddr4 memory are all more expensive so it's not just that price difference between cpus so unless you're doing a lot of video editing or a lot of photo editing i would say stick with the z 97 and a 47 90 k simply because you could probably overclock that a little bit faster man it's hard to hard to say exactly chips vary from chip two chip but you can get a good overclock out of a 47 90 k you're not going to spend as much on the chipset the memory is going to be a lot cheaper granted it's not as much as it was like five six months ago but ddr4 is still more expensive and you're going to be able to maybe even get more ddr3 memory than you would be able to get with ddr4 so it's hard to say exactly um but if your focus is more on the gaming side and say stick with 47 90 k if you're you don't need x 90 90 if you're by no ramen you need X I there's absolutely no reason only if you have a workstation application and you're doing heavy like multi drug applications you need an i7 then go X I nine if you're gaming don't even bother it's just a waste of money it really is buggy if you're gonna do a lot of rendering if you're gonna do a lot of video editing if you're gonna do anything else that is CPU intensive than 58 20k is a great great CPU and I and I like that intel on this time around made the 50 20k overclockable yeah yeah its links in tow oh that sucks oh no that's x oh no how did that happen it happened live though how did that beer just magically get there it's been there the whole place swishing it on to me I wasn't this is just the closest possible place for it to go not on my keyboard is this a good time to end the show Kyle this is a perfect time down the show Paul because I need to clean this off the morning you shouldn't drink beer around your electronics parts guys be smart don't be safe put the beer because you might spill a beer right across your keyboard got your laptop damn it Paul not the Cal just did that I totally didn't not at all I'll clean off well anyway thanks for watching this video guys a log video coming soon on the endurance of the g550 eight how to remove g55 fatigue AC want a leakage problem you gotta make lemons eliminate your limited I know how the lemons video coming soon guys guys thank you so much for watching the stream so I ready for telling me to slap you I really have to I'm not gonna slap you know I don't do about you I'll be adding in injury to insult or something like that Jesus I'm sorry alright guys thank you good thank you so much for watching see you next week mobile hit the like button console Kyle effing like button all right Jesus leave me alone thanks for sticking with us we are gonna be playing some games later are we still playing games later oh no we try to play some games later many more might play some GTA 4 so you can check out Kyle's twitch channel which is Wichita TVs less / I'm tweeting a pic classes refuse check my Twitter for this picture through my switch channels twitch.tv / pulse hardware thanks so much for watching this episode guys and sticking with us we'll be back next week on tuesday at five-thirty p.m. pacific time with more awesome hardware yep Kyle might be a lot out of commission but we'll do our very best ace you send me a new laptop thanks for watching the ship thanks guys we'll see you all next time bye take it easy you
