Awesome Hardware #0024-B: Hitchhiking Robot Gets REKT, K|NGP|N Breaks 3DMark, FACE OFF!

2015-08-05
still on that's there okay this is so God that it was it's the hdmi it's that damn many hdmi cable I swear to God if it craps out on me I'm gonna lose my show we're fine okay but I everything's fine we're streaming now guys are we coming through can you see our faces can you hear our voices how many fingers am i holding huh I see at least how many fingers six that's impossible I had one hand all right hello guys welcome back to awesome hardware this is part 2 or side B of the show if you missed part one and you're watching the reupload go ahead and head over to paul's hardware and watch side a we had a fantabulous first half of the show and then we're going to have another fantabulous half of the second part that we have here paul is tweeting to make sure that everyone knows that we are streaming alive if you're watching us live thank you for continuing to watch us in chat and we have some good announcements first off by some shirts buy some shirts by some mugs from Paul Paul's hardware earth is there's a new benefit to buying shirts there is a new benefit and I was getting to that so if you happen to buy something from Paul and my own store awesomesauce network.com slash store you will actually get a voucher of sorts or some cash back for fresher mic is muted that's impossible no that makes that meted that's you're wrong you're all wrong now we're not made it no muted yeah it looks fine so if you happen to buy merchandise from either of our stores at the same time you'll actually get some cash back because you'll save some money on shipping basically because Paul and I both go through the same vendor for all of our merchandise you will actually not have to pay double shipping when ordering both of our stuff simultaneously so that's just knew thats that's a new thing that starts today and so yeah so basically what we're saying is you should buy it started from both of us he actually started last week so that's the first time we're announcing there's some folks who ordered stuff last week and I he went and issued them retroactive refunds but yes it was great of him to do yes he just like hit us up until it's like hey most people people have been ordering for both of your stores and it doesn't since like ship them separately and yard room separately so this is awkward need a by John so John a huge thanks to you for doing that a Johnson for John Johnson for John hey yeah man all right are people hearing us by the way I we're us we have some people saying that the audio is not okay but then other people assume that the audio is fine and someone else said that thumb screw is wrong shut up you're fine now that's back its back Oh God back I'm not gonna touch it I'm not touching it I'm not touching it i'm attacking it back by now this is this is just how the show goes gosh this is part of the fun this is part of why you watch us it's not for the Polish it's for the raw miss of it all all right what Linus did not hack our channel right everyone it's a lie everyone stay calm everyone keep calm and and and and chill and I think we're a chill the F out ever i see i see levels okay we're good we're good the kid cameras working ok so again with the announcements if you didn't hear from the earlier part we are now doing combined shipping so if you happen to buy something from my store and paul store you'll actually save some money on shipping you want to pay shipping twice for the two separate orders which is awesome you get it as a refund as well we should point that you get as a refund place each order separately and then he will just recognize its good order both of the exact same time yeah he'll recognize both are going to the same place so box them together and then you get like a 250 refund afterward from each of us yes also within the announcements i'm getting married on friday it's tuesday I'm getting married in like Wednesday Thursday I'm getting married in three days that's insane which is nuts crazy I can't I don't even know why I'm here right now I shouldn't be doing the show my fiancé's out there just like just scolding she's like waiting for me to like walk out so she can punch me in the face for working today she watching the show no she's not she's cooking dinner which is also very very good very nice of her so yeah because of that we won't be doing an after party tonight Paul and I will happy gaming I've obviously got a ton of stuff to do for the wedding and Paul's probably goes on an agenda I'm exciting things keep lying my channel yes tomorrow there you go there's some good stuff coming tomorrow we can't reveal too much else oven that but apart from that I think also I wanted to give you guys a heads up my followers if you watch my last video you know that I'm kind of on the rocks this weekend next week because of my wedding and the honeymoon but in case you didn't catch that part I just wanted to say that I will probably only be posting one video this week in one video next week instead of my regular to I try to do two videos a week same with you I'm sure probably gonna be one video a week but hopefully it'll be fun your kinda girl you're kind to warn people when you're only in a post one video I'm usually just like I only have one of you this is you it is what it is yeah get much that it is what she and assume it so yeah um thank you guys for hanging in there and let's just get right down to it shall we so the first segment that I have today is tech news of course as always and the first bit of news that I'd like to share with you guys is the the three world records that have been set in 3dmark okay by the the the famous King been waiting for me to bring the story up yes I was doing I was doing the Lord's there of course it said you have a lot of work to do over there so kingpin is a very famous overclocker he set many World Records and he just set three more in 3dmark a very popular benchmarking tool the card he did it with was his very own of edition of the gtx 980 TI from EG EVGA okay so it'll be weird if he did it with like someone else's card yeah right like the OC cookie card yeah or something like that but my cooking yeah the hi cookie there you go EVGA has released their 980 TI kingpin edition card which is just a beast of a car they released it probably a week or two ago and within that week of releasing it kingpin had set three World Records in 3dmark fire strike fire strike fire strike extreme and fire strike ultra this is a single GPU with a single GPU using a 59 60 X on the exciter 9 24 25 thousand 233 and fire strike yes there were you about to say all these things yes are you can go ahead Kyle that's okay this is kyle's have the show I'm just gonna drink thank you for taking over I mean it's nice it's nice i'm gonna do anything see you didn't choose okay cheers Cheers thanks tell you guys for being hey all right so yes as Paul was saying three fire three mark fire strike he got 20 5233 this is often these all these tests all these records that he broke were with a single card the kingpin edition 980 TI three mark fire strike xtreme at 13,000 and 91 and actually right before the show I just happened to benchmark my own 980 TI reference card with a 58 20k mind you but still should be similar right but no it wasn't it was actually the result I got was 7,000 487 again compared that to his 13,000 and 91 and now granted i'm i'm on a i'm using an h100i gtx and he's using Ellen to what frequency was he running it so the max frequency that he hit out of all these tests was eighteen hundred and ninety-seven megahertz pretty impressive it's pretty nuts consider that the base clock of this card is twelve hundred and three megahertz I've so he's taking it up six gigahertz I found from that pen finally done some testing with my seven gigahertz 1980s this this past week oh its Arctic panther ah yeah I I wanted to get to 1550 but and I maybe could but i would need to do a lot more I think tweaking yeah I'm sure I'm trying to look for something comfortable then I'm in about fifteen forty 1545 yeah I can get pretty stable what are your attempts at that I've been a GPUs they're fine my gpu's get in the 50s my CMU hits 60 65 nice but I had my CP is so so nice on that system it's it's almost unfair like because I'm not like 1.2 volts yeah i'm at 4.5 with an eight-core 59 60 x that's awesome so it's like I I should push the 59 60 X further right I've done all this testing with it a four-point gigahertz and I'm like that would actually have you push it I have pushed it already when she first got it I Trish and I got the 475 pretty easy okay I mean pretty state I was stable 475 I couldn't get to 48 and that was still off of 1.2 yes I probably was using more voltage than because I was before I had voltage tuned it to try to see how low I could go into voltage but right who knows nice so again congratulations to King pen for setting those World Records definitely not an easy task and congratulations to EVGA for making a kick-ass card the guys are if you guys haven't heard too much about the kingpin edition of their 980 TI again base clock of twelve hundred and three megahertz boost clock of 1300 and for six gigs of gddr5 which is same as the reference 980 TI with a memory clock of 7010 megahertz or 7090 six megahertz if you're in OC mode it's got triple bios's it's by Oh Sees whatever it's using the AC X 2 point 0 cooler which this one actually features a 14 plus three phase power design if you can't call it the AC X 2 point 0 cooler still because this this cooler is so much different it is what it is materials especially I think it's just the materials though that's different because instead of having an aluminum heatsink as well as copper heatpipes though everything's covered the few types and the entire heatsink is copper so which is gonna dissipate a lot more heat if you guys are interested in more information on this card I don't think he has posted a video yet but I know he has one Jay Jay Jay's got one I saw was Instagram post and I know he's going to be doing a video on it so Jays two cents check that out and I know hope you don't give it a once-over into benchmarks in fact if you're watching us right now go ahead and blow up Jays twitter with hashtag show me the copper show me the copper yeah show me the copper blow it up right now that'll be exciting I want his phone to break it's a nice card it is a really nice card and and it's been so long since I've seen actual copper fins on a heat sink mm-hmm for something like that another another interesting thing I want to say about this this edition of card from EVGA is that I honestly haven't seen a card like this where it's been offered in different prices based on the way it's been bent so all the all the cards all the 980 TI kingpin edition from EVGA have been prebend but you can actually select as a consumer you can select the GPU what is it the ASI sea is a si si ASIC is an application-specific integrated search yes the ASIC which is basically in layman's terms the overclocking performance how binned is this GPU so you based on that it'll actually affect the price that you pay for it so the the actual price of the card can range from 852 a thousand 50 USD based on you know the overclocking performance you want to get out of it so I thought that was pretty interesting so there's two ways to look at that one is to look at it like oh if you really want that highest possible Bend GPU then you can pay for it which you couldn't really do before usually you would pay for like you get a kingpin card all of them would overclock really well because they're all been GPUs but like the best ones is still going to be hit or miss just roll the dice the other way you could look at is like well EVGA is making more money now on those top bins yes which makes more sense for them yes it does so I'm okay with it I'm okay cuz cuz people will pay for those tops on GPUs and people who like want to be able to say like yeah my my 980 TI is running it's 1900 megahertz right like 24 7 yeah like something like that yeah okay so and you know obviously it takes more work on EVGA zend to to do that to kind of separate the bin CP GPUs to see which ones you know how they rank on the whole scale or whatever try to categorize them and price them that's a lot more work in time and money for EVGA so I understand why the additional price is there but again congrats on the the World Records kingpin nice next up is a story that Paul kind of alluded to earlier on his half of the show today which was the hitch height hitchhiking robot that gets totally wrecked by some anonymous US citizens or assailants Paul kind of staged this story as like a victory for America are you talking to like over to like overthrow the robot race or whatever and likely we were having a robot invasion which is completely untrue this was a completely innocent robot who was built and crafted to hitchhike based on the moral values of American citizens my head people in general my headline was robot invasion thwarted and that's completely just totally legit you should write for The Onion cuz that's a total joke right there alright so there's there's this hitchhiking robot he's adorable I don't know if he's got a name but his name is hitchbot basically but yeah and he's traveled across several several countries including Canada he was actually made in Canada by Canadian researchers and Germany and the Netherlands all these different countries and he was able to rely on the generosity of strangers to get him from A to B people would like seem on the side of the road and be like give me a ride and they would put him in his car and take him to a certain location and drop him off and he would then again wait for another stranger to pick him up and take him elsewhere um but it was only about two weeks upon entering the United States like his when our poor hitchbot was decapitated and left dead on the side of a road his US tour is so sad it's like so short right like you look at the Canadian tour of hitchbot and it's like I went all over here we went all the way across the Canadian border I mean like America it's like some Canadians fry like upgraded him along the way like scrubbed off all oh yeah everything they shine him up he looked like r2d2 at the end of every it's not even like let's do something constructive and likes you know like tear parts off of it to sell or something like so fucking look at that hitchhiking robot look fucking crap out of it and interior carriage pieces because that's that's my parent Lee entertainment that's the country we live in folks I mean clearly these Americans and basically he was slaughtered hitch buck was slaughtered in mascara in a Philadelphia I'm like a very little heart LEDs color LED how do you destroy anything with a heart LED on it and he's got this like people with rubber jerk-off gloves right there we don't want to get a hand job analysis listen we got paid for the hitch when you money when you're hitchhiking to cut across the country you got to have some kind of toll you have you ready to get off a handy gonna pay your way very handy robot that's um solar-powered too so you know picking him up in the day is gonna get you a lot further than at night basically he's got a built-in GPS so the researchers that Belton could see where he was going across you know the globe and whatnot but there was no built-in surveillance gear so people couldn't actually see who was beating the shit out of him at the moment he got slaughters there's your crowd by these Philadelphians I don't know if they're Philadelphians but they were definitely American people in Philadelphia come on Philly natural come on robot haters yeah apparently I mean that racist against Robo they probably thought he was gay they probably felt like that's a gay brother he's trying to give him my card game that guy's trying to I think he would have done better than he did I mean I mean no honestly if hitchbot had tried to start giving one of the dudes driving him a handy like the guy like the southern dude the southern American be like are you trying to get up on my dick you know what I mean I'm so glad we have a sponsorship in this episode here um so basically I'm trying to say is Americans are assholes and freakin if you see a robot on the side of the road that's trying to hit your ride and he's gonna give you a decent handy just let him do it don't decapitate him or leave him abandoned on the side of it it's just it's a lot more uncomfortable when it is like you know torn off pieces of them and all that cum it's embarrassing for us as other Americans who are not so cruel to see the sort of thing so that's just kind of what I wanted to point out come on step it up that story moving on we've got an acer XR 341 ck monitor and it looks amazing do we do well we don't have one apparently I missed this link we don't have one hold on come on so Acer's got a new monitor in store and oh you screwed up I did you put their own wait hold on what did i do I end it I'll find it oh shit it's not how it hardware right yeah is it on harbor ya think so yeah cuz that's the hitchhiking robot oh you know what I might have found it no no it was on a pc monitors calm or something like that it was like a really generic no I've got it I've got it right here pc monitors calm is not available you're lying oh look Paul look at the google doc look at the google doc i just posted the blanking right under it all right so goddamn this monitor from Acer looks frickin sweet actually Linus did a video on it and I didn't realize that until I started researching this monitor it's a 34 inch IPS curved ultra-wide they're all the rage these days after all 34 40 x 1440 damn it's got the cool thing about this it's got g-sync or free sync so there's two different models you can get oh it doesn't have both okay it doesn't have the same like two different chips someone you have to buy either one separately you've got G but that's cool though because if you really like this monitor but you had an AMD card or an nvidia card you might be like oh I wish I had g-sync or I wish I had free sync this one has models for both options got a base amount I like that it's got a base amount you can wall mount this sucker it's awesome it goes 75 hurts or up to 100 Hertz on a g-sync panel so the free sync only doesn't 75g sync up to 100 it's got a hundred for sizing it's got yeah it's kind of interesting it's got a hundred percent srgb coverage 10-bit color which is not necessarily true 10-bit color it's actually a bit color but it's got dithering no yeah so do you know you know mixing the pixels and whatnot will give you that temper color production so good for professional color correction use and things like that the g-sync model will be available in October for 1299 and the free sync panel will be available in September slightly earlier also for slightly less money doesn't give an exact they have a bite link i'm going to buy this on my it weights not for sale now is it is 1099 dollars that's for being said resync usually ships in 1 2 3 weeks free sync ogc this one doesn't seem to indicate whether it is the free sync or g-sync version up maybe their technology g-sync okay so i was going to juicing or adaptive sink okay both of them so okay maybe it infuse maybe it's a bit cheaper than I originally stated so about a thousand that's why most of the customer questions and answers are is this a g-sync yeah which perkin really the product page has failed its job that's that's pretty important information actually it really is it really has if I have a to fury exes you're not gonna buy that want the g-sync version exactly so at any rate it's about a thousand bucks for this monitor 1100 about a thousand about 1100 and then I think the the free sync panel would be a bit cheaper because the the chip that's used for free sync is typically a bit cheaper to the manufacturers who use them but yeah that's about all I want to say about that monitor keep an eye on its go ahead and check out Linus's video on it why not it's actually a good video he goes into depth as opposed to most of us as opposed to the regular cotton holy moly no I Linus has a good job checking it out and he also gives it his firm thumbs up I mean somebody in chad is saying g-sync is not available yet you are wrong sir I started some what it's saying jacek is not available yet I don't know precinct jason gann free sinker well maybe maybe he means the g-sync model the juicing model is not out that can be true that could be true maybe yeah because it did say in the article the the free sync would launch a bit about a month earlier okay so there you go keep an eye on it I really want to get an ultra-wide I really do really yeah I think it'd be fun or for gaining because i hate triple panel setups I just hate them I know some people like swear by them and they love like and it looks cool right I've got three monitors an email I got one but honestly like I just don't like the way that they kind of they're not curved and like no matter how you orient them they're always gonna be like like a trapezoidal shape and even if the bezel super thin I no bezels are super thin nowadays and that's that's a lot better than it used to be but still I think just having one single panel ultra wide is the way to go for me I feel like I don't know takes up less space and i will say for curved I think curved only makes sense for monitors I don't like curved TVs exactly unless you're forever alone I mean you're the only Asian monitor makes makes more sense and ultra wide the Thai resolution than 1080 like the 1440 ones which I forget what the horizontal is but 1440 vertical I 10 2160 are well the 14 4234 4034 40 x 1440 yeah the ultra whites yeah that's what this one is ok yeah yeah so something like that would actually be quite interesting and I agree having that broader likes I just like completely horizontal space because it fits a little bit more with like your actual field of view right there not having like to deal with bezels and multiple monitors and everything like that that's pretty cool yep ok alright moving on to our next segment we've got big saw me lower thirds singing the song no space ah that's news hey every day that's face off there yeah smooth smooth ball smooth um ok so we've got a death race is what we're playing today Paul and I go head-to-head in a very low-budget online to play our game I hope this work I hope it does to earth there it goes let me get thee let me get the security alert no just screw security of course proceed why don't we get the load I'm gonna get the mouse the chalice or the chalice of malice ok yeah that's important so kyle kyle has become alright so when Kyle first started face up which is where Kyle and I play against each other in a usually a browser-based game the kyle has spent an extensive amount of time practicing beforehand um miss ally he was very successful early on with this technique he did not you did not count on my innate skills as a gamer though so in patent weeks in past weeks I have been coming out on top despite Kyle bringing in the chalice of malice is at I think we'll go with that it's actually a Paul tardar mug with a series of potential punishments in there or things we might have to do basically that the loser might have to do I have not screened any of these by the way so I hope there's nothing in there where I'm just like I'm not doing that oh there will be there will be all right I guarantee it so what game are we playing today playing death race so what death race is is it's basically a high-octane version of snake that's been re you know reimagined in 3d rendered fantasmic pneus as you can see it's very Tron like these are basically anything yet hold on we're basically trying to avoid each other where you're basically creating a line like a snail trail everywhere you go okay and the idea is to not run into your own we kind of played this game already we did but this is like the 2 point 0 version I think this is a better version I think I'm gonna beat you at this game so that's also my controls are ZX + space what a space do spaces jump so you can actually jump you can leap oh it's like snake but you can leap over the line the other person's lying yes you can yes see it's totally different it's a completely different game that way all right do we get any do we get a practice round here we can do one practice round no I fine well we'll be one practice round since I've already played it once and you haven't played it all see I'm being fair I'm being very good for that's right ZX + space right let's just go forward here wait all right here get like oh yeah this is this is awake I'm green so I'm green although seriously strong because we're in like a 3d environment yeah i'm currently just drawing circles around myself so you can it oh ok so that was the practice round i won you won because i ran into your your shit I scroll down so get up against tea oh there you there yeah all right so um now that Paul is a master at this game in the fifth five seconds of playing I we are now gonna play for reals two and three okay look at three all right let's do it and then the loser will have to draw I'm the pink on top by the way yes you're the pink on top oh oh what it's like I went to him no way like I was cute why did you stare directly into my pad I didn't know you were going that way my peripheral vision is why I need new glasses you're gonna get home Tristan see you see you there you stay away from me oh there's a wall of the oh so we're at 121 did not know there was a wall opiate it's not infinite this is a limited limited is a slave Ocarina the rear play limited same day alright so this is for all the marbles guys we go all right post in chat who thinks gonna win I like oh wrong mouse confusing to mice hope I don't hit the wall yeah i mean my awesome oh there's a bit of lag on her to tell you that oh wow oh my goodness oh oh shoot dearmond how is that possible I cannot win a freaking face off unbelievable I'm really discouraged at this point I just don't know what's wrong with me do you want to turn carrot and browsing on carrot I don't know no no I don't know I prefer we really if if it's any indication as to why Kyle screwed himself at that game we had to use internet explorer to play it that's problem that was Preston that's the problem a shin right there wasn't my gaming a pillow geez come on hey all right here we go here's to the victor yeah whatever whatever let's see what the see what terrible punishment kyle is this inflicted upon I'm gonna I'm gonna like have to do all the punishments cuz i wrote all of these i'm gonna have to do all the ones that I wrote myself he did hey what is it drink rest of your beer out of a bowl for the rest of the show that's silly do you have a bowl I have you prepared a bowl i haven't this oh i didn't think i was gonna lose let alone a half of that one what if I had pictured all right below me and me should I should I put it in a bowl should I get a bowl week punishment by the way what do you mean it's not even know because it'll be guess it's like kupit because a saucer would be fucking would be funny a saucer that doubles all right I have to I to drink the rest of my beer out of this beer kennel that doesn't make sense why not gonna go get a bowl because you can't buy think it's the bad I I mean I can that makes no sense yeah um alright what's yeah we had to download internet explorer in order to play that game okay look look at the look at what we have this excellent lighting right now I know Twilight like magic hour setting in California and that's what it looks like every day ever watch like you guys are here I'm gonna I'm gonna party was based in California and they use this filter that makes everything look like I'll orange like there's this glorious sunset going on the whole time that's okay we never turn the lights on that's important to us because going to sounds good net oh no that was not plugged in I think it's fine damn you that's it it's yeah it's plenty of great I think beautiful no hit a bowl Cal's gonna go get a bowl everyone in the meantime I'm going to regale you with some stories of my time in the army actually I was never in the army so I don't have any stories but what I am going to do in the meantime is play that game again what do you guys think play some more damn it I close the window nevermind i can't play it all right I have nothing to do right now this is I don't even care this is kyle's half of the show so if it sucks what's the matter to me right okay here's what i can tell you guys but here's our rocket fan that you guys maybe have seen right there it is now the funny thing about the rocket fan is i've been using it way too much i've used this thing to cool off my router you said you said my side of the show sucks but no i was just saying that it doesn't matter to me if I do something like insanely I heard you so let's try to point out here is my rocket fan has been acting funny lately but it's because I've had it plugged in 24 7 pointed at my router cuz my router has been not working one hundred percent appropriately lately it's kind of funny cap see see I thought the I thought of these punishments I well thought them out so you'll notice for example that it stops unless you give it a kick start it's a little kick start and then every once a while the LEDs all you've been doing to fill the time let's talk about your fail I gotta fill this is the time i was gonna play the game some more but the game was already a fan so there's my rocket fan anyway i'm using this to all right not overheat while we're doing the show okay is it really 713 it is a 15 minutes good 15 minutes okay it's a good thing because you only have to I think we're gonna wear / it down to one segment what we're doing pin my pc we have to skip Q&A Cal we got people have questions we need to answer them okay blow up and chat if you want us to be at mi pc or Q&A I little were you ain't in my pc right I'm saying we have time for both we have 15 okay all right let's go swim let's go the first one uh usually takes well you're right at this it's like the biggest time suck of the show all right here's pup shepherd pup shepherd leave this system look at it oh pop Shepherd I gotta give you props right off the bat for using your freaking stickers all these stickers are coming i have a collocation badges I have a collection of stickers and case badges and I've been like looking for a useful place from I used to put them like if I had a case with a door I'd put them inside the door or something like that mmm but I don't know even though granted it's you know aesthetically or whatever it's know that pleasing to look at right like yeah I like that you wouldn't even got the Dolby one on there you've gone above and beyond sir that doesn't that doesn't excuse you from atrocious cable management coming out of your coming out of your hard drives what is happening it looks like you've mounted them backwards when you could have mounted them the correct way and have actually all the same deportes the state of cables coming out from the back from behind the other board dress what case is this I don't know but please tell me the hard drives melt the other way oh god oh god right the hard drives need to mount the other way if possible if at all possible and there's a lot of dust in there get some dust just just SWAT switch those hard drives around tidy up the front panel connectors the bottom of your motherboard if you want to get really fancy get some black sleeve cables for your power supply maybe some extensions so you know those nasty red and yellow cables you all right I don't know if this is the case or not or if it's just a picture but if you have if you still have a little piece of plastic on top of your corsair logo on the on your h100i or whatever that is peel that off yeah that is actually kind of funny I told you I was there a bowl um I should get a sweet but yeah uh that's it let's go on dusty man look at this picture there's there's a lot of desk alone on their this I see your handprint yeah this is one of those systems that like I would feel really good to me just to like remove everything place everything off to the side yeah like dust everything off individually and then put it all back together with with with fresh cable management where I've already assembled the system Brian know what where everything goes yeah you going into cable management with that in mind already really really helps so so yeah all right moving on the next week's percent uh nope up Thank You pup next we got Ron who's sending in his rig looks like it define our for possibly I don't see a single Drive in those drive cages so 770 Canada gtx 780 saving it for mark willing he also wants to saving up for water cooling so before you even get to the water cooling part just remove those drive cages because it'll open up the air flow for those front two fans those fans pump out quite a bit of air but they're being stifled by the drive cages which you're really not using for anything other than your sleeved fan cable which seems to be going down the the left side of the drive cages which doesn't look all that nice i'm confused by that actually yeah so i'm not sure maybe tuck that away behind the motherboard tray if you can also the the cable that's coming from the left a your your graphics card there's another I think that's another your rear fan your exhaust fan cable is kind of crossing over your PCI slots and that looks a little sloppy I I like the attention to detail for the color scheme though you've gone with red black and white and you've even taken the time to buy some corsair SP fins or I'm sorry those are probably AF fans as well as the ax 760 power supply the sticker matches perfectly with your color scheme again drive cages that cable a few cables that need to be tucked away and I think you're good make sure you're cleaning it I can't tell from the picture again if it's dusty or not it looks like the top of that power supply might have some dust on it if does go ahead and clean it out they're good cell and chat also pointed out that you got a little bit of GPU sag going on there yeah which is always a difficult question for how to combat but i would suggest in this particular situation if you take your Peggy connector pci express graphics power connectors pull them go up with them depending if you have a left length but i think you should go up with them to the same area where you're a TX is coming out go go go I'll put them to hear where you're a TX is coming out of and you can maybe use those to just give that a little bit of lift and kind of get rid of that sag yeah you rewire everything but give them but nice build yeah thanks Ron next we've got FP droid his system look he's got a 3570k which integrate more gigahertz a gtx 970 nice combo by the way i like i like the older processor with a newer GPU because it's still gonna be a really nice gaming system eight gigs of hyperx fury and an NZXT s 340 yeah so um really nice system here i think i really do love the sleeve cables the extensions that you've put in there yeah i think it matches the ram really nice i think you're kind of going for a blue and white theme based on your motherboard ooh excuse me Wow drinking that beer that bolt mmm it's the bowl it's totally that's all the bowl based on the motherboard and ram that you've got there blue and white looks great but then the video card ever size card again a 970 great card but it's red so I feel like the red blue and white doesn't exactly mesh all that nicely I'm gonna I'm gonna oppose your viewpoint here and I will say that this is a very patriotic merica if you're in America you got red white and blue well thanks ball actually here's whoa mark here's my issue with this build you have pegged connector extension cables you have a 24-pin extension cable and you've got both of those which probably cost you at least 20 bucks if not 30 yeah before you upgraded your cpu cooler right now unless he already had those unless you already have from yoga don't like that from a practical perspective and I know I'm pit my pc to talk about aesthetics a lot but from a practical perspective here i would have much rather seen that thirty bucks invested in hyper 212 evo yeah or equivalent cooler or even better maybe the enter max you it was black where is it a dark twister you have it yeah you have one that's right there blockbuster the ETS t40 black twister yep which is only about 10 bucks more than that and it's all black and has a blue LED and would match perfectly in the system yeah that'd be a good candidate for it ambia upgrade guide priced and it's a 3570k to you could get a hawk you could get more performance out of that with only like with not a whole lot of investment so with an air cooler yeah definitely my first my number one first thing here they upgrade that air cooler did a little bit overclocking take your you're at 4 gigahertz 4.2 4.4 easy easy with a 3570k those are the clock better than Haswell my feet for the shit just just don't waste it nope nothing no man left behind duping going on over here yeah alright thanks Fe droid next up we've got Jason Jason yeah your rig looks good it's uh it's gold or yellow it's in a really an older case and it's on the floor if you go Paul yeah it's on the floor and on the carpet my new on the carpet which i think is like a double no no it's a deep cool case I can't tell I know something like that or raidmax or something like that tesoro what is that works or oh I don't know so sorta makes cason at any rate it's a very budget case that's probably a couple years old and I think based on your motherboard which looks intact micro-atx maybe it's a very overly size case I think you have a lot more room in this case then you really need and I think maybe even whatever front fans that you have there aren't really reaching the arrow cool the the back components so honestly I would probably opt for a smaller case and also probably the reason why you have on the floor is because you don't have much room on your desk and so to save data saves desk space you're putting it on the floor but if you had a smaller case that was more appropriate for the size of your motherboard then I think you could probably get away with putting it on your desk and you wouldn't have to clean it out is often and it would just stay cleaner for longer and it would look a lot tidier as well because when you actually have a small motherboard put in a larger case you actually have to stretch the cables from your motherboard to those grommets or whatever the the cutouts in your motherboard tray a lot further and it looks a bit more Octopussy I should say I just said no you can say that um alright that and yeah and the color coordination I think needs to be adjusted a bit unless I see I see a little bit of potential here yeah of course I think I knew a new case is gonna do wonders this is an arrow cool power supply which is 80 plus I'm trying to figure out if it's 80 plus now that's not that's bronze yeah it's 80 plus bronze all right i don't i don't know how how good your power supplies that case isn't terrible though now it's a black painted interior it's just too big it's too big it's too big for that you got a micro ATX and a truncated micro ATX at that motherboard dwarfism so yeah the motherboards a little bit too small but this I could see you upgrading the core components here your motherboard processor memory and graphics card and stick in with a case for the time being yeah you know you get a little two-step upgrade going through the future so that way you can save some of the components for another bill but I wouldn't take too much time investing on this until you upgrade those core components yeah because that's where you get a lot more performance out of the thank you Jason thank you Sam Evan next up we've got the covert camper all right he's got an hour five define our five beautiful case is the one I'm using right now by the way I want to give a white and orange theme I want to get a wine orange theme but that needs a lot of modding yeah sure does but it is possible and I think there's definitely opportunity for that here you can easily mask off the yellow in the RM of your power supply and that corsair RM series power supply and you can make that orange instead of yellow I think that'd be a good start and also the PCI slots this is kind of what I've done for my custom water-cooled bill that I've been working on recently is I spray painted those it's a pink grain black build that i spray-painted the the white pci slots just like those and my same define our five pink just to match the rest of the orange of my build and it came out beautiful so I think that is also a good way to make things orange if you want I don't know if you want to keep the white in your ex I nine series board I think that'd be a good choice because I think it'd be a lot of work and and take a lot of skill to actually spray paint the heatsink and stuff orange we sound like taking all the white accents in this build and training them orange I think I don't know maybe a like a white orange black color scheme you know like a creamsicle type thing if it might look you are like a 50-50 bar bar to me is white and orange though the white orange the black black doesn't mesh as well I can see it being done I think it's odd to be careful if you want yeah if you want it to all go well together this though I mean apart from the long-term goals of the orange build and everything an hour spent on this with cable management could really clean up everything and make it a lot more appealing the the power supply cables down here just can be pulled back behind the motherboard tray a little bit better you've got your other loose cables hanging around here for the power supply air for the like peg connectors for the SATA connectors over there right your-your-your CPU coolers fine that's perfect yeah and then you just a little bit more tuk-tuk more that stuff back behind the motherboard tray yes it's Finn's just I also want to make a clarification some people in chat were saying well Kyle you have a define ass not to define our five as I initially stated I actually do have it define our five for my personal main editing rig that has been built since the haswell-e lunch months and months and months ago but yes the custom water-cooled build that I have currently is a defined s gonna make that make that clarification sorry if there was an effusion um I was confused you're confused Paul wasn't confused because he knows the ins and outs of of all of my deepest darkest fractal tech and all the travel ins and outs I don't want to have any visuals about Josh right now that I don't know what that means okay yes uh thanks dog ever Oh was on time oh we've got like one more thing to go link link your build it looks good I like it now your cpu cooler vertically I think because you've got you know the fans of the front and they're blowing to the left I think a lot of your heat sink could benefit from the intake air of those fans if it was mounted more I agree it's not flammable it's possible it's actually probably possible it is because looks like you is not in the top slot so yeah I agree hundred percent there yep do it uh and get some sleep extensions that's it everything's 4690 a high 44 this is like cooler master is slightly higher end hyper 212 yes a Suzy 97 pnp and why and that's it right there's only one stick of memory in there put a stick of memory in there set up set up dual channel put some memory in that yeah get some dual channel yep other than that your wire looks like there's three dimm slots not is there's three empty and one populated oh that's why I can't see it yeah um other than that your wiring is nice yeah the green from your LEDs doesn't quite match the paint on the case but that's hard to do anyway yeah that's okay yeah look that rotate that cpu cooler good build man probably prove your your performance here your cooling actually a bit too Thank You lake and we do not have time for QA but instead we will go into our Johnson shout outs yes we do have some some Johnson's that we owe y'all Evan I'll start first Evan from Grayson joja another Georgian so many Georgians you have a gem I love Georgia do you have an Evan do we get double Johnson I am ever not I need to refresh so Evan thank you for picking up a void my warranty shirt those are those are some of my favorite that's one of my favorite tricks actually Brad not gonna say your last name Brad Minerva yeah I Oh double Johnson to bread double Johnson to bread for sure yeah I thank you for picking up a cpu cooler shirt and also a shirt or something from Paul somebody picked out thumbscrew shirt thumbscrews shirt and isolate them and lastly for me ivan from lake station in the apolis thank you for picking up a cpu cooler shirt I appreciate a brother Johnson to all of you guys thank you appreciate it and I already said Justin Patrick I believe right because we already yes yay red hissing oh yeah I think that's it thanks for all the Johnsons that's a show thank you guys I'm just spilling beer all over my tits in a bowl guys give me a break all right it's in a bowl drinking beer out of a bowl it's not natural balbir feel very emasculated right now so thank you guys for watching the show yeah if you were watching this on the reupload be sure to LIKE the video on YouTube and go ahead and check outside a if you haven't already if you're just kind of that person who likes to watch the second half before the first time you know go ahead and watch what's up for any account we're not because you you left a very important thing out of your out of your side of the show what we have a sponsor we do have a sponsor let's sponsor the show right now why don't you remind me cuz I okay because neither of us remembered that we have a amazing sponsor for the show today all right our first time with the spots here and our defense hopefully not our last in our defense we have the gigabyte Z 170 x gaming g1 motherboard from gigabyte today shows brought to you by gigabyte there we go thats our sponsor you got some hardware yes this is an awesome board hey some other things that you might not have noticed about this board for the accessories let me let me just tell you about the halcyon thing i'm clean a fun day you guys are closer look closer look at this board sometimes more exciting than the board itself paul technology sometimes more exciting than the board itself me the board here here we're gonna get the board and do closest just take the damn bored just take it so it's a good board I honestly haven't seen anything as far as the accessories go so this is all new to me what is this oh cool so it's a five-minute quarter inch Bay with a USB 3.1 and USB 3.1 type c 0 actually worth two nothing from this cool it is yeah take a look at it slots right into your your five-minute quarter inch ebay in your case so the nice thing about this is that it actually connects up in the back via SATA Express there you go so say to express to me I keep being like what is the point of SATA Express when they're absolutely no SATA Express drives to be to be seen on the market but they've actually taken that been like well you can use your SATA Express for it and connect up and get a front panel USB 3.1 port and then they added a type C there as well so that's a breakout box it comes along with this board there it is you've also got what is this oh this is the SATA Express cable for that exact thing you have a Wi-Fi adapter with antenna because this does have built-in Wi-Fi which is I really do love to see boards whether they're high end or low end to have Wi-Fi adapters on them nowadays I appreciate it's just very yeah very very handy to have um also I love I absolutely love what gigabyte desert or SATA cables they feature yes the the standard straight straight angle and right angle cables but they are all sleeved as far as the high end motherboards go they are sleeved and nice black sexist leaving and I absolutely love them they're my favorite SATA cables like ever I have not seen any of these sleeved ones they're amazing I I had them on my my gaming g1 why hasn't been working with enough high and gigabyte boards yeah absolutely so you get six of those awesome did we mention that this is a Z 170 board that's not available yet on the market I did mention that but I didn't mention that it was unavailable but obviously yes is you can't buy these yet SLI and crossfire bridges a ribbon style flexible kata style um bridges right there and then it got a nice little box here with some more rigid some more rigid bridges Bridget bit Jesu purchase 4-way SLI and 3-way SLI yeah I'm actually probably going to use maybe one of these for a future build like the rig that like the ridge of one's even if even with a two-way set up you can use them to give you a graphics card more support yes as you can we've also got the apart from the manual and screws and things like that you also have the i/o shield which does light up in the back so if you're trying to fiddle around or fidget with any cables that are behind your case and it's usually in a dark area as we all know what a serval that can be does light up so you can kind of see where you're plugging things into you can see all your ports very easily very handy to have we've also got a nice little adapter here for your front panel connectors so you know where everything goes power reset led this is one way to take all of your front panel connectors and plug it into this little block hip and then the single block plugs into this plug right here makes everything easier yet make it a simpler situation for plugging Denali front panels and then we have a MDOT to adapter of sorts this is say to express I believe this is a u dot to adapt you'd ought to you ought to oh that's right for these newer these newer drives like the Intel 750 for example and via me what's your nvme drives so you can get a couple different versions one plugs directly into a pci express slot or you can use this which basically plugs into one your n dot two slots right here and then it gives you a mini SAS adapter or connect our plug on it and then you plug that up to connect the drive don't give me any of that sass so if you don't want to use up a pci express slot it can allow you to still just connect up an nbme drive in a 2.5 inch form factor which is quite nice so i'm glad they included that with the box indeed but that's a quick look at the g1 gaming motherboard this is a Z 170 motherboard is going to support skylake processors so sit your 6760 600 k processors which will be out oh so very soon Cal is just going to sit here and fall asleep on the board now you drool on it a little bit i'm gonna i'm gonna click off we got about I'm really fine Paul red damask oh alright we are totally over schedule and to be respectful of your guys's time as well as mine because I need to get to planning my freakin wedding that's on Friday we are gonna end the show right now so thank you to our special sponsor gigabyte again for helping us host the show tonight and thank you for all of you for tuning in and staying with us this long again it's been fun see you guys next week or at least Paul will see you guys next week I'll be hopping around on social media you'll see me in some videos as well but stay tuned for next week's awesome hardware worth all will be having a special guest Jays two cents date season on and it should be um thank you guys are about tech have a good night we love you all and goodbye cheers everyone to please me you
