everyone else so hot in here it is okay sure like a season right on max it's on max Wow yeah I could turn some of the lights down it's like is that the ISO fuck it was that hot today here that's fine sure yeah like I said my half is gonna be a little bit shorter than yours shake more beer I think it could be the beer to get miss worm no regions they got a drink a lot of beer to keep warm because it's so cold they do oh yeah it's really no really cool that's probably it makes you extra warm the Norwegian beer but we're drinking beer to keep cool if it isn't but today no no doctor doctor some won't appreciate that sorry I don't know why I'm doing you know this is the beginning of your show you're right beginning of your head yeah it's all about the hook first impressions you got a hook hook a man's gotta captivate you see Pikachu just said this is the first time I came on the stream I don't know if you meant that suffered his first time viewing in which case welcome thank you for being here or the fridge sorry he was brought to climax perhaps could also be another way to interpret that Vietnamese bein yeah oh my god I will never attempt that beer check word reduced in chat yes I'm drinking Norwegian Wood provided by our good friend John who's gargling that down your throat good friend John Norwegian Wood that's a couple weeks ago from Norway for the Fraxel day of refinement this is really good actually I'm enjoying it quite quite significantly oh yeah it is traditional Norwegian smoked eel with juniper berries it's very smoky cumin powder do you want to try it sure you want to try mine even though you're not a huge fan of IPAs it's not that's not that abrasive get to ring the bell ooh that's really good it is that's it's way better than it tastes like wood but it like in a good way yeah in a good way smoky that's the most woody beer I've ever had yours does not taste like an IPA to me really I don't know mmm maybe it's cuz of this one it could be Bram's or I don't know we don't know what kind of IPAs Chicago has been making that's also tradition Chicago style IPA they've been known to stuff their shit up they they play by the beat of their own music of their own hot dog instruments oh my god what we're being attacked I had an ant infestation at the front of my desk earlier this morning when I woke up they were all behind my monitors and they were like eating shit in my trash can I don't even eat in here and there was like shit I don't know are they do they like water coolant that is like liquid fluids ever water cooling the ants are here that means they found something they found a food source because then the way the ants work there's not to be food though it's like a hive mind and they send out the scout scout scout sup I know he'll dance work and then the scouts fun when they come back that is a bunch of food over here let's go over here over here Kevin gets come on the gun and then they'll move on mass over to that location so it's like so it's like playing Civ you send out your scouts and you know they've been - my happen she's area that I left in your trash you asshole you were eating Del Taco here but that was that way after the infestation anyway fuck the ants dicks concealed for the ants not having any dicks out for the yank is not going anywhere physically going out for the ants but we are talking about natives right did we already put our stores now we didn't really quick plug I should shout out to ourselves shit out there ourselves stuff we are selling stuff we were selling things Paul has his store where he's selling shirts and mugs bawls hardware done it yep shirts mugs pint glasses all very high quality buy during the show hoodie view eyeshadow at the end hoodies - he's got it all babies and I've got mine on bit wig tech slash store which apparently still says awesomesauce networks you can just ignore that for now um but all the shit is still the same all this is all the shirts topic I'm the worst when it comes to updating things like that alittle say awesomesauce network for the next year before I finally like my image probably cried creating some comes beautiful beauty comes through shingle with the with the rebranding in this yes but if you guys happen to pick up anything from either of our stores you will get a Johnson shout out you'll get a double ring from the ring mug that Steve gave me yeah if you happen to pick up something from both of our stores during this live stream we will give you a loud and proud Johnson shout this way so um thank you very much Zach for the donation $5 hey let me show cowbow I've got a core i3 6100 and am looking to upgrade i've already got z170 so I'm looking to go on watch should I go core i5 6600 K or wait for heavy Lake KB like a baby lake as we've learned in winter show um actually the i3 6100 I like this one makes an article with z170 I feel like it's a nice upgrade path so I'm glad that you've been using it and that you're looking upgrade that's said you can't about that 6100 for very long I'd say wait for kb lake yeah but bear in mind the kb lakes probably not out until q1 next year January February March so if you can't wait that long if you're like no I'm running in the bottlenecks right now like I'm trying to play battlefield 1 or something that's really CPU intensive or something like that and it's holding me back then yeah go for the 6600 K but if you can wait if it's holding you over for dads I wait for K be like yeah yeah I would agree what's wrong to our first story of today new my half fear which is that tech news stuff it's about AMD launching their seventh generation ap use for the desktop as well as the m4 platform this is now official to bringing excavator AP use 2 to desktop users but you're gonna be featuring lower TDPS so way better power consumption as well as higher GPU clock speeds than the then the older shit then the steamroller got a very stuff which is nice om these first we do not have access to these yet we don't have review samples quite yet it's going to all the OEM so they can make their all in ones their laptops and things like that whatever they want mini pcs what-have-you we will be seeing them maybe sometime next year early next year or yeah I think I think I didn't see them in the article but I wouldn't assume that say it didn't say um that's my guess now there are some really nice features new features on the EP use direct x12 support being a pretty big one for all you Windows 10 users out there 4k media playback with h.265 encode and decode yes that's nice that is very nice HT PC users will be will be benefiting them on that as well the new flagship apu that we are talking about here for the am 4 platform is the a12 9800 and according to some benchmarks it scores 20% higher in the Cinebench benchmark then the older steamroller got a vari a a 1088 50 that's a pretty nice boost that is a very nice boost especially when you consider the lower TDP to going from 95 watts from the older platform to 65 watts ok right there and yeah so you're getting more instructions per clock it's much faster probably lower heat because it's got a much lower TDP and your power efficiency is a lot better it's not drawing as much power don't need as much power supply to drive it and I wonder what it must be like to be an ant getting flicked at full speed by a human because they just land somewhere the greatest rush of your life hey it's probably the heliport ation that's probably the same ant it's been crawling back up over and over again because he's been good it's like I gotta try that shit again it's like climbing the waterslide stair what staircase he's just climbing the pole oh let's go on again one more time dad more time I'm just I'm just eating them on so uh now that's that's the APU the seventh gen ap use which are pretty exciting met and just to clarify for anyone who's confused here none of these are Zen architecture bases no no no no this is new socket and four sockets yes new platform for AMD it's a unified platform they're taking their AP use which have been on FM - yep and their CPUs which have been on a m3 pour merging the two and they're bringing them both together so old CPUs whether you're talking FM 2 or AM 3 will not work on this new platform but some of the zeros there they're making and are based on the old architecture from the previous platform right so so 7th gen AP use as well as Zen CPUs are going to be working on the aim for chipset which is which is awesome because it's always kind of been a headache I think in the past few years you know trying to I don't I mean you don't relate to distinguish but it just makes things simpler for developers I would say in terms of developing for the platform they just have one platform to think about whether they're going for Zen or they're going for the 7th gen ap use the excavator chips so that's really nice motherboard manufacturers as well they're not gonna have to choose alright we got a product stack for this platform we got one for this platform it's just am for now it's a unified medium for both of these trips which is pretty nice my big question and this is some of the first solid information we've seen about actual chipsets on the new with along with the new am for sockets so they have them listed here in this slide for small form-factor there's an the xB and a 304 essential or kind of kind of your baseline I feel like is what this is is Andy a 324 mainstream you have AMD be 350 and then for enthusiasts you still have TB a now my nose my big question here is going to be when Xen launches will you have to have that's enthusiasts chipset to run a Zen CPU that's not known what name for chipset yeah no I am for is the socket oh right right we're talking chipset okay right well we're talking requirements to have a Zen CPU because I've been kind of talking about about doing for a while it's like okay get I am for out there and II get get some am for boards out there cuz I'd be like look sure buy a name for board right now get an APU drop it in there and then wait till next year and then upgrade your your APU or whatever you bought this year to a Zen based CPU and get yourself lost lots of CP if you can if they're gonna let you do that yeah they're gonna let you do that and that's really not sure yet yeah and there's been a lot of discussion about power requirements for Zen what that's gonna be like and really if the boards are gonna need to be fundamentally different at all other than just their sockets and some of the basic like I feel like that would really shoot them into the foot if they did that because it would kind of defeat the whole purpose of yeah am for being a unified platform where it's like yeah okay you just kind of made things more confusing in fact because now you have the the unified socket which is not really a full unified platform but now you might need a you know a special enthusiast grade chipset to actually run as in CPU which is still going to divide everything for the developers as well as the motherboard manufacturers so and it's gonna be more confusing for consumers and stuff so now that we have this information that's been clarified to some degree by AMD what I need to know hopefully they'll say this at the point or at least give us some indication of what to expect in the future when I am for boards actually start coming out and being available for sale which we're expecting before the end of this year I need to know if I buy a name three be fifty be 350 board can you upgrade later if I can draw more CPU into that into that board or if they're gonna be talking like now you need to get this new chipset sure it's the same socket but you need the new chipset so hopefully they don't do like an overclocking thing we're like you can only overclock on the enthusiast chipset or something yeah I mean that's another that's another I mean that's how that's how Intel exactly so so yeah there's there's a big question mark there and it's really gonna affect a lot of my recommendations for people building systems towards the end of this year because you know I'll I'll recommend Intel to you you know because they you know they got their shit together for the most part they're expensive but they're also very fast I want to recommend AMD to I want to say here's your other option but I'm not gonna say here's your other option because I always like recommending a system build with an upgrade path and I'm not gonna say yeah get this unless I know for sure I can say yes and then when then comes out you can drop your Zen CPU into that - yeah so I hope there's some overlap there I can understand like the the lower end chipsets maybe yeah boxing out Xander saying you know these are only gonna be for certain processors with certain level of core i3 equivalents or something but yeah right alright let's move on to our next topic which is about the GTX 1050 this is kind of interesting there was a leaked screenshot from gpu-z courtesy of bench life guys over there have leaked this and their source is saying that the card will feature the new a new a brand new fourth chip the fourth chip in the Pascal lineup yeah um so right now we only have three we've got the GP 102 on the Titan X we've got GP 104 and then 770 in 1080 and GP 106 yeah if you want a six from the 1060 so we've got GP 107 potentially for the for the GTX 1050 here codenamed GP 107 - 400 which is kind of an indication based on and videos like naming scheme that this is gonna be a fully enabled chip it's not gonna have any disable of course it is specifically a die that's created for this card no cut-down iteration of anything the specs according to the sources and this slide that was was captured is that the the 1070 I'm sorry the 1050 is gonna have 768 CUDA cores 48 TM use 32 ro piece a core clock speed of thirteen hundred and eighteen megahertz and a boost of thirteen hundred and eighty it should there's a lot of shoulds maize cans probably's in this article it's all rumor and speculation for now we know how trustworthy the source is all we can go is you know take it with a grain of salt for what it's worth but they're saying it should feature up to four gigs of gddr5 at seven gigahertz yeah and then that's going to equivalent to one hundred and twelve gigabytes per second of bandwidth on a 128 you just made a new word equivalent Aquila late I I stand by that creation that beer equivalents to at least two beers and in its ABV content yep equates is just so mainstream um now the exciting thing about this car it's 75 watts really did you mention that are you about to have the exciting thing about this is hard is the 75 watt TDP this pre-emptive mother which which is cool in for several reasons one it's like super low power so the power supply requirement is going to be a lot less than something like say even the 10 60 or the ten seventy especially I'm giving one worth 250 or 300 right which means you don't have to spend as much on a power supply which is an awesome and secondly you can get pretty much all your power through the motherboard slaughter PCIe slot on the motherboard which means no PCIe cables which I mean yeah that's that's freaking awesome that's less cable management that you have to worry about a tidier system reduces kind of any interference with airflow in your case you have to worry about like ugly power supply cables or likes leaving that shit whatever it is it's just kind of a really nice object news unless your answers to customers unless you're in source customs all right guys yep but however if you are buying a 1050 you probably aren't gonna spend extra money on sleeve cables did you see his tweet to me after it came out that the the PCI Express Gen 4 like stuff stopped killing my business you dick hole or yeah cuz we talked about that like well no more PCI Express power cables needed no more no more that stuff's I'm selling the business like I I still make them you can't kill me I'll be around forever but but however you there's going to be a very high probability that bored partners are going to include PCIe connectors on their aftermarket cards of the GTX 1050 because they want to market that shit they want to say well they can't we'll look this one's got an additional six pin or an eight pin power connector which is gonna give you more stability when overclocking or even more overclocking potential and just more juice for like the fans the custom fans we have on here things like that whatever is RGB LEDs you have more power now allocated you're not gonna be limited by the PCIe slot on your motherboard because they're adding more shit to it so they want to like beef up everything all the things so they are that in mind this is going to be expected to be close to 150 dollars which makes sense to me I mean the GTX 1063 gigabyte variant is $200 to stay competitive with the 4 gigabyte rx 480 so it makes sense if they're trying to undercut that it's going to be obviously slower than the 10 60 even the 3 gig version with its uh you know even though it's been cut down a bit it's also expected to perform close to the AMD rx 470 so yeah I actually haven't read too many other reviews on the our export 470 or what the performance is like but I would assume that's kind of like better than the GTX 960 somewhere between the 960 and the 970 is where the 470 would lie which is pretty damn good actually for 150 bucks like this could be very good for people who were trying to game at 1080p you know not concerned about quad HD plus and they just want something that can do medium even high settings potentially in triple-a games that could be kind of cool well that's always good with a new series of graphics cards launches cuz it pushes the entire stack down and you can always get more performance coming at a lower price or the sword yeah sometimes our performance for the same price if you're looking for the same price for more performance yeah exactly yeah or you pick more performance for more money for more money it makes sense real lunacy thank you for your $20 donation whoa Jude just because because I like that that's a great stuff copy what you haven't that we've been spending too hardly right I know we got to close it wasn't change what happened all right let's move on to our next story GC x 1050 sounds very exciting but we've got more to talk about here first of which hackers this is important hackers all right guys if you guys are jerking it on browsers you should be concerned right now not just because there are better porn sites out there and what I've been told but that but because hackers just dumped 800,000 close to a million browsers accounts on the dark web they dumped those accounts on the dark web all the data came from the companies forum on the browser's forums the data set according to sources contains nine hundred and twenty eight thousand individual records with seven hundred and ninety thousand unique email addresses along with many usernames and plaintext passwords so might now might now might be a good time to change your passwords if the password you used for browsers is also the password you used for anything else just a suggestion just looking out from my browser's homies you know I'm saying hackers might be able to read private messages sent via the forum and I think this is almost more intrusive now this forum that had been hacked with all these users was used to discuss existing existing porn scenes private messages hit private messages that were used there's a forum that when people were on to discuss existing porn videos what they thought about the scenes they really conversing like I was fucking great acting and that one said no one ever but I mean still it could happen and also best da do ever da do da what it's like is whose daughter life like a whole type of it don't worry about it don't worry about all right am I gonna get into it right now we are on Twitch are you cut that's true really good we're already on the radar for the dildo stunt so and also people are like offering suggestions on this forum and through these private messages on what they would like to see in future future porn now I don't your porn videos don't say like recommendations and like had a jerk it um I'm sure maybe that's even there too I think the thing is that debt should be on like the someone said in the article like school resource the will they sit in the article like kind of uh you know is kind of true like okay someone discovers maybe from this leak that you watch porn which can be a bit embarrassing for sure but that still doesn't really tell you much about the person but if you had excesses that they are like alive you just tells you that they like to jerk it like anyone else but if they were like able to see your private messages that you that you were sending on a porn website that's very personal those are like things that are like deep inside you that you only share anonymously you are with like people you're really close with so that's good that can potentially be the most revealing part about this whole hack here hey I think that was that was also taken to the article by the time do you monetize exactly but if you are concerned at all you brazzers bastards out there that you have been a victim of this dump you can go - have I been poned calm this is legit I mean this is apparently what the article is recommended for here from WC CF Tech have I been poned calm to see whether or not your dirty messages have been totally hacked so just imagining like the watercooler conversations right it's like dude did you hear about that browsers dumped oh yeah man if it was awesome that's not what I was referencing but it's good to know that you're okay that's next three looks like you didn't even need to be axed exactly all right let's go on to our next story here which is about the new USB type-c to HDMI spec and what it's all about I'm sure you guys have been seeing this all over the interwebs hm HDMI licensing which is the the people who decide whether or not something is HDMI compatible or HDMI compliant they're releasing an alternative mode and alt mode is what they're calling it for USB type-c devices that's going to allow HDMI video signals pass through a Type C cable or connection without like a super fancy or expensive dongle because apparently that's what's been needed so far you actually need a dongle or a doc to convert the DisplayPort signals that are natively output by the UM the type C standard so that's pretty cool this this is like free-range laptops tablets smartphones you can pretty much you will be able to link these devices straight to an HDMI output using perhaps like just a simple type-c USB type-c to HDMI cable pretty cool however there are limitations I will say about this for one it's not backwards compatible so if you already had sort of a setup where you had like a expensive dongle to make it work you're still gonna need that dongle you have to hold on to that dongle it's not gonna be you can you can't just swap that out and less and say newer hold that dongle standard hold it never let that dongle go that was a great word I love a massage it also also after you massage it you'll also realize that the alt mode that we're talking about here only supports the older HDMI 1.4 B standard for now so this is essentially a crapshoot for gamers right cuz if you want a game at 4k you're gonna want a game at 60 Hertz no less but since it doesn't support hdmi 2.0 B you can't really do that you're still gonna be gaming at 30 Hertz at that 4k which is no good by the way thank you my knees for the $5 donation guys how soon do I have to worry about my 4790k bottle like you my GPU I'm running a GTX 1080 right now don't worry about it yeah don't go on my channel and look up the video that I've done comparing the 2600 K to the 6700 K I believe look that up I test the same graphics card it's the but your constant your 4790k should be able to overclock as long as you have a decent CPU cooler 4.5 to 5 gigahertz get it up in the four six four seven four eight range you're good you're good for a year to at least several years I would say unless you about next what games are on the horizon but yeah yeah 4790k Zen absolutely they're all still absolutely beautifully for gaming duke games especially with the threading and all that yes okay um so the other thing that I wanted to say okay that was that was not much there was not much else to this to the limitations of this new standard this mode other than HDR is not supported either yeah yeah is there anything about enhancing the spec in the future to allow for a higher range of HDMI connectivity via there isn't but I would assume that's the direction they're heading I would assume they're just doing it one thing at a time and it's it's nice they at least for you know basic laptop users because laptops are starting to get a lot more USB type-c connectors on them so if you happen to want to output to your video signal from your laptop to HDMI monitor makes a lot easier for that just kind of like you know you see HDMI kind of catching up with all the other standards because we've got what DisplayPort now that that is already supporting a USB type-c as well as Thunderbolt 3 like you've got you know with like even my MSI laptop has that support so finally we've got HDMI in the mix and I would assume that they're going to eventually implement support for like 30 Hertz 4k and things like that HDMI 2.0 B but we'll have to wait and see let's move on to our next story here in the news is the Samsung recalling their Galaxy Note 7 I'm to just briefly talk about this because Paul already talked about it in his app they respire fire they're blowing up look like this phones of fire yep so if you guys want more information on this you can either read the article that I'll post in the description later or you can go ahead and watch pulse off the show where we talk a lot of it a lot more about it I like this specific gear VR warning yeah cuz you don't want something positioned like too much lean Runnin Rebels to combust fire yeah now to be fair they're talking about it's like the fires have been happening well as well charge was charging right so two people typically run gear VR with the phone plugged in like that's difficult right I mean I don't I think it's I think it's a hassle but I don't think it's difficult eat some USB extension cords and that kind I mean let's say you had you were doing it like you're just watching VR porn at the park no AC outlet oh yeah did that earlier today exactly that's why I was that's why I brought them brought up this example um maybe you've got a you know a battery pack in your pocket and you've got a lengthy USB microUSB cable that's connected to your phone all you have to worry about my USB cables very lengthy lengthy shit so I mean I'm sure that there are certain there are some people out there heard doing this sort of thing but yeah the things are catching on fire there's been a massive recall they shipped out 2.5 million units and they're taking them all back saying no these all might explode watch out some dude Amazon's offering full refunds Amazon is issuing full refunds but do you not even need to send the phone back they are not requiring that because they have no way of enforcing it right um I guess if you want a refund you just you just hit him up bill yo cannot read my bitch I should ask for a refund do they have any way of checking if you've actually bought one I don't know maybe I'm sure people have already tried that yeah possibly Samsung's also offering note 7 replacements or you can exchange your note 7 so we we did this in swordfight like would you give them would you have Samsung a second chance if this happened and for those of you who voted no if you completely burned then you can you can get an s7 edge you can exchange you for an s7 or an s7 edge just to write regular ngon note phone plus the price difference because the note I believe is more expensive also Samsung's offering anyone who's affected by the recall a $25 gift card as a gesture of appreciation now it seems like different cell phone providers are handling it in different ways like for instance Verizon I saw somebody tweets I forget who it was earlier today like really Verizon I have to go back and wait in line at the store again should return this and get the replacements after I already waited three hours to get the phone in the first place or something like that right they said they stopped selling the note seven and they're making refunds or exchanges free through September 30th that also seems like I don't know I mean that's about a month but that's not that long a time no it seems reasonable seems weird to have the cutoff be I feel like that should be oh you mean like for them to like refund it or yeah yeah I agree like if you have a defective note 7 and you go in in October right right like sorry you have to keep your shitty defective phone that might catch on fire yeah that's bullshit that's kind of sad if you like six months or some shit to return that AT&T is stopped sales and is offering replacements to effective custom affected customers but not too many details as far as timeliness or anything like that t-mobile is accepting refunds and waiving all fees related to the recall I feel like t-mobile does a good job with customer service for the most part yeah Sprint is asking customers who bought a note 7 to go to Sprint stores to receive a similar device until the issue is resolved so you kind of get a rental phone until ok until you get your replacement or your exchange these models in there that makes sense there's also information in this article this is Android Authority by the way for Canada if you're in Canada and it's a fake use so let's links in the description yep so um yeah interesting interesting news not the best news for new Galaxy Note 7 users but hopefully you guys get it figured out don't blow your faces off in the process and next up we've got hot and heavy hardware this is our next segment where we talk about hardware that's hot and heavy the first of which being the new razor blade now I've been using the razor blade for quite some time now this just laughs up I'm currently using this is the older generation though it's weird for me to say it's the older one because I feel like I just got it and it's still rocking like a skylight CPU also kind of a buying laptop yeah exactly it's got a gtx 970m processor in it but fuck that this new blade oh shit yo bro this new blade though it's got a full-blown GTX 1016 it so you get the full 6 gigs of the RAM gddr5 we've already talked about this on previous episodes of the show very recently that there's all these new Pascal laptops coming out with full-blown desktop GPUs of the 10 series and they're not cut down they're not mobile chips they're not mobile versions so this new blade is still 14 inch it still forms same form factor which I like because it's super portable it can can fit into a really slim backpack but it's gonna be packin some extremely impressive horsepower with the GTX 1060 as well as a skylight core i7 6700 HQ CPU so that I mean with the two of those things it's it's definitely going to be VR ready and that's how they've marketed it as well I just starting okay so here's also a controversial thing I don't know for me it's gonna be this like I said same form factor 14 inch screen however they're gonna offer two models now the glossy panel with 3200 by 1800 resolution the IGZO the XO resolution or you can get the 1920 by 1080 screen that's Matt now I this this is right why does the resolution tank if you go man go Matt I don't know I feel like it should still be the same you should be able to buy either one I feel like I there's a lot of people who want the higher resolution but still want Matt right would the matter glass has nothing to do with how yeah what the resolution the other thing is the other thing is if this was if they had laid out these options for this model here I would go with the 1920 by 1080 matte in an instant yeah but now with this that you have the full-blown GTX 1060 you can run a lot of triple-a titles at that resolution at the high resolution 3200 by 1800 yes no problem but I'm not going to want that glossy screen necessarily I might want just something that's a little bit less reflective especially if you're taking this on the go you can't always control where the Sun is in relation to it you know where you're viewing your laptop from it's nice to have that matte screen in my opinion I've never understood the draw of a glossy screen I know some people say it looks crisper and all that kind of stuff I just I don't know I prefer matte so much - yeah meets you different strokes yes also weird that the resolution have dropped so much like that all the way down to 1080 like give me a give me a 1440 right like I'll be happy with that yeah just a little bit more than I mean 1080 just seems a little bit yeah a little bit passé at this point for a notebook of the st. of this quality yeah I think the only reason I would allow or accept the 1080 resolution is because it's such a small screen even for a laptop it's 14 inches so yeah if you're compressing in it I mean I'm still a little salty that my phone has a higher resolution than that by the way that WCC F Tech article was all based on a tech powerup article god damn it I'm looking I'm not linking WCC f Tech I'm looking at the tech powerup article no good go everyone go follow look there therapy they have pictures that you can click and that show up big on the screen and centered yay look at that they're the best it's the this RGB matrix oh shit has you looks exactly the same it does which i think is a great thing cuz it's it's beautiful beautiful body laptop stuff good eye let's move on to our next razor product razor actually is introduced another very interesting item here which is their first the world's first mecha membrane keyboard I feel like there's gonna be a lot of controversy make that membrane a lot of contractors mean make a membrane that's like Mecca Mecca brain mecha Streisand are you trying to say looks like Barbra Streisand Michael Streisand was from one of the earlier South Park episodes Mecca like Mechagodzilla yeah right you're familiar with Mechagodzilla so there was a mecca like a a mecca version of Barbra Streisand yeah she was like terrorizing an attack I was huge and mechanical and Barbra Streisand for a head and yes she like destroyed South Park they don't even Becca's dress okay I know I don't yeah it's cool I need to watch more TV a parent really do know you don't know never mind yes you do never mind that so what's interesting about this what a mecha membrane keyboard is is it combines like the soft kind of pillowy feeling of I like that word pillowy soft the soft pillowy feeling of membrane keys however it's still got that mechanical tactile click so the way they described it in the article is you get the best of both worlds but I don't know if everyone necessarily misses the soft cushiony feel of a membrane key I think maybe they do maybe they don't but however I think maybe some people would be ok with that feeling again if it was included with the tactile click of a mechanical key so you kind of get the best of both worlds here it's gonna be available in both green and RGB LED variants by the way it's called the or nada are not torn that keyboard so the or nada comes in two variants the the green because because Razer or RGB LED if you get the RGB LED one the RGB one it features dedicated lighting profiles for popular games like overwatch call of duty black ops 3 etc um it's also got a risk rest that's detachable via magnet I think that's genius detachable via magnet wrist rest yes let's let's do that forever that hasn't been done before I haven't seen it okay not having a keyboard man I can't think of anywhere it's been done before but it feels like it should have yeah why the fuck has taken this long magnetized all the things that are supposed to be detachable I mean they they got it right with the dust filters eventually finally it did so yeah just do that just keep doing that with other things that should that are detachable um it's gonna be available on the razor store for some regions worldwide availability comes in October this was the most surprising part of this article the RGB or not a is gonna be a hundred dollars us okay that seems very cheap to me seems very for a razor product essentially appending a razor depending how you look at it because me cuz rubber dome keyboards are fairly and I mean relative to mechanical switch keyboards yeah are fairly inexpensive to make true you can get a rubber dome keyboard for ten dollars true pretty regularly and it's just a perfectly adequate rubber dome keep rubber dome keyboard so yeah that would be my question is is is this key have they taken a rubber dome manufacturing process and added elements to it to make it seem more mechanically and now they're trying to charge a mechanical keyboard price for it or vice versa because that's what I would suspect just knowing how business works in the industry and that kind of thing so yeah if you're saying oh look this is a mechanical keyboard too like keyboard only $100 for an RGB whereas you got to pay probably a hundred and forty plus for an RGB full mechanical with like cherry switches or something like that but what if they're taking the opposite approach of what you said what if they're like basing it off of a mechanical key switch and then just adding some kind of cushion to that to make it more comfortable then that would be a pretty impressive price for that so I guess that's kind of the question yeah yeah it's kind of question so we don't know yet this really needs a good teardown of the product and everything yes are these MX which is are they CH are they mechanical switches at heart or are they membrane switches at heart what's the actuation point that you have to actually go down to register the keystroke do you have to bottom out you know is that going to affect finger fatigue and and things like that so yeah remains to be seen makes me say a quick shout out to tremendous mas what all he is making mercenary from O'Dell ooh sounds delicious Odell isn't that this the famous singer I'm out of beer me too we're almost done here yeah I would drink more but we're gonna end the show sooner oh that's later Adele not odo hang on to that yeah different knodell but thank you very much for that tremendous let's move on to our next piece of hardware and hot and heavy hardware here which is the Corsair air 740 which you recently did a buildin Paul there it is you totally built in a live stream I maybe have some hands-on experience with this yes so what did you think about the build process alright so the build process was nice and easy yeah I would assume so as you might expect basically they took the frame the inner frame of the air 540 and they put it in something called the 740 it has different external units for the top and the Front's that look a little bit different has a significantly different look than like the air 540 or whatever you know something that I think some people will be interested it's much more it's much taller than the air 540 and less cubish it seems that way yeah I mean it just looks like that from my picture it doesn't look that way to what I have not done is done more than read comments about saying it's exactly the same like it's got any expansion slots it could support a four-way SLI or crossfire configuration I am NOT positive because of my lack of familiarity with air 540 if this internal frame is exactly the same frame its larger or if it is article it is largest is larger okay well good kind of read the article and he knows he knows my research so it is larger there's plenty room inside tons room in the front bottom and top for radiators and fans and all that good stuff of radiator support 280 at the top up to 360 at the front and 280 on the bottom now granted you probably couldn't install all three of those with having room to spare for your reservoir pond might be ball that sort of thing you might be able to because one of the things I noticed depends on how thick your radiators and this is this is probably um kinds on my Ralph's a bit of speculation on my part but this is the hop this is the opposite side of it there's some weird bracket looking things over on this you can move your tron near this cage it seems to me like if you wanted to get really fancy with this and I have no idea of course there has any plans of releasing a separate side panel on this side themselves or if they're just expecting people might mod it but I feel like Coursera things are window you could pack the other side with your main hardware and a bunch of radiators and a bunch of fans and then put reservoirs and pumps and everything on this side via different did you notice any mounts there's mount at the bottom okay so this little tray at the but well this little tray at the bottom is actually for the power supply I'm sorry it's splits two different links or whatever it would've been great if they included mounting holes for a pump right there I feel like this might be but I'm not positive you can't see it from this angle but there's four little slots right here that looked very similar to the layout that that standard like like pumps have okay so any anything about that so I don't know so yeah who knows for sure and I'm speculating a little bit but yeah that would be nice too I built this system in it here's my I did ago I did a live on Saturday I'll show you the very end dude go yeah it's very hard to get to the very end of this bone here's the system hey that that gee chicks one of those GTX Jenny's looks minutes I was like oh yeah and I come from I mentioned in the video that it was from you know I thank you I'm never returning it hey hey fuck you zoom in on it's lovely everything came out quite nicely very lovely so look out through the air 740 I know there's been a lot of polarizing thoughts on the new design I feel like it's growing on me like I did not like it at first but the more I look at it the more I'm like I could dig it yeah I can dig it I think it just it's one of those designs that needs needs to grow in you a bit for sure yeah it was off-putting at first but I didn't mind it too much but I can I can like I sympathize with people who like ooh I don't like it yeah I told her this totally it's definitely it's a lot of plastic and none of these panels on the top of the front or metal or anything like that right so it's all like do you like the way that they have shaped this plastic and yeah I'm into all of those things exactly so next next step our last topic here is on the new Corsair range of keyboards their luxe mechanical keyboard range it's gonna be essentially using the same kind of aluminum housing lumen ium housing of the the K series like the K 70k 65 all that jazz so it's gonna look the same pretty much on a body level however they're gonna be upgrading the the lighting so it's gonna be enhanced lighting USB 2.0 pass through which a lot of people have been asking for on the case 70 like including myself and Paul as well as a backlit optimized key cap so you're gonna see larger font and you're also gonna see more light peering through those key caps to give you more illumination and all that sort of good stuff but I I'm not opposed to this I think I love the aluminum chassis I think Corsair has done a bang-up job on their existing body just like the style the quality it says if it's not broken don't fix it it's still gonna be keeping with the Cherry MX switches they didn't say exactly which ones are gonna be available which colors but I would imagine probably the same ones that you can get on the K series and the pricing for that is K 70 luxe RGB is gonna be at 160 K 65 is 130 and the case 70 luxe non RGB is gonna be 120 I would assume the case 70 luxe did not specify in the article where I missed it is just gonna be red LEDs because that's how it was for the non luxe k70 I feel like they had been red and blue oh did they have them in blue too okay no I could be wrong about that I am right over the blue ones but I care about lots of things yeah a sponsor spot mad hound 3 4 7 7 thank you for your dollar donation he says he donated 5 bucks earlier perhaps we didn't see that so sorry if we missed it if you don't plan to Oh see right away what cooler would we recommend for a 6700 K me I would just get the like the hyper 212 Evo hybrid 212 or the the cryo rig no the cry rig h7 yeah I think are both good options right in the 30 to 35 dollar range and even when you are ready to overclock there those still yeah will still be good for some decent good for you to moderate gains listen tell you upgrade to water cooling or something else like that which exactly you probably don't even really need to do but really quick we did want to do a quick sponsor spot yes for today's sponsor which is be like thanks to gigabyte for sponsoring our show gigabyte makers fine computer hardware such as motherboards graphics cards best what we're showing off here today is another motherboard from gigabyte z170 line so these are compatible with Intel skylake processors on the Intel z170 chipset my got to z170 chipset do that see we showed it that's right there right there anyway this motherboard features RGB lighting is it no no what no it doesn't does let's go LEDs here RGB are they RGB other word features light you have the show you said it didn't feature RGB lighting I wasn't sure about that no no you're wrong let's talk about I'm wrong and I need surround LED so I believe they're blue okay yes there believe that's why this is the ud3 not like so that but that's what separates us from the designatory 170 that we showed you before right these do have LEDs up and down right in here they appear to be blue and up up and up and up in this area right in here yep and then a strip along the side here which appear to be blue according to the box yes that looks very blue yes if it's not blue that's really poor choice for the Box anyway though at least it's blue and not like read it like matches with the blue accents and what did you did you mention that this might sup to on the right side yeah so that it lets up down this strip along the right as well right all in blue it's got blue accents of course so very similar to the designator that we already showed you guys as far as the color scheme goes ultra durable so they're using their extreme two ounces or twice the copper and the PCB design that you would typically need to use according to the baseline specifications mm-hmm it's also got overbuilt power delivery there so along with the Z ones new chipset which allows you to overclock your skylake processors assuming you have a case key like a 6600 K or 6700 K make sure you can maintain those overclocks stable e at high frequencies right I like it stuff also an IOU got a USB type-c 3.1 port there as well as display outs for the integrated GPU on your CPU indeed it's glorious MDOT - yes and you dot - is when you dot - as well you can even raid0 those you can triple raid 0 I saw that advertised on the box and I was I was kind of curious how that's laid out for the first CIE lanes go now with the typical z170 motherboard you have 16 PCIe lanes coming from the cpu yeah so that would give you alright you need eight assuming got a graphics card in there yeah 8 for the graphics card that least use 8 more so if you did a by 4 for your PCI Express expansion slot for a single nvme drive that's 12 yeah if the u2 is wired up directly to the CPU but another 4 that would be another 4 this would be 16 yeah and then finally if you had your chipset derived final MDOT - so either your MDOT - are you you're you - if either one of those is wired directly to this and then the other one goes through the chipset yeah chipset has an additional four lanes right your flex IO that handles all the i/o four other connected devices and then yes you could get a graphics card and three nvme devices all connected but you would be using every single lane yeah of PCI you'll have no room for SATA Express or a second graphics card or anything well you can still connect it but like you know you'd start to run into some conflicts if you're you know had high speed SSDs going over the same buses anyway you mean you can do it yeah I actually be kind of curious to see be good test what the what the speeds would be with a three-way read zero nvme SSDs figuration Hey but thank you very much gigabyte for sponsoring this half of my show of our show and I think that pretty much does it for my half of this is a bad episode take a couple questions we were you were you weren't gonna do that and now if you say no then you sound like a couple questions just a couple yeah it's like when it's like ending the show with a sponsor spot that's not the way you should do it all right fine anyone has a quick question or two okay yes we have lots of time um according what are you looking at okay we you should probably close it off was there there are notes flying under the door and I need to tend to okay so let's let's do jumps and shadows because Johnson's yeah I do have quite a few here so we've got Daniel damn Daniel damn is doing thing no it's not flash BIOS flash for shirt stay positive and another BIOS will you about three shirts brother Daniel whoo double Johnson can't ring the bell with no more beer in it that's okay I also picked up a zero insertion force shirt Thank You Danny next up we've got one from David David that's okay thank you very much David let's hear it on my half and I wasn't you did you did pick up a stay positive shirt for me and that's cool we've also got one from Richard I think I saw Richard from you I think you've got a Richard in there somewhere maybe you saw you got our nose oh you're Richard reserves thanks very much brother let's mark mark no mark you get you get a ring mark you get a ring from me thank you very much for picking up a CPU closure Burke loo okay um yes what do I have here yes I have Matt a wait did I get mad um I might be overlapping the last half of the show but I think this is new uh Johnson for Matt Matt thank you very much thank you shirt and him up well the answer for Jonathan also a thumbscrew shirt and a mug that's a very popular combination oh yeah also for Daniel we already gave him that double Johnson Vega Daniel again will double up that double Johnson it's a double double and Richard I waited Richard we got we have rich or two yeah but you know what the hell it's raining yes so thank you guys very much for tuning in that's going to conclude this episode of awesome hardway episode 76 I am gonna go have dinner with my wife for her birthday Paul are you doing an after party stream on your end are you doing it after party when you get back probably not depending um no probably not let's night let's not promise that okay we will not promise a nefra party tonight so we will reconvene perhaps next week same time same place well not the same place we'll be apologizing I will put myself on the tentative list for the after party but I will tweet if I am gonna be going live okay but I do there enough some stuff to do so we'll try to keep that very good very good thank you guys for tuning in really appreciating we'll see you guys next time thanks everybody see you guys
