Awesome Hardware #0141-A: Handheld LINUX Gaming PC, H500P MESH, 16,000mAh Smartphone?!

2018-02-27
bye so welcome everyone to awesome hardware episode 141 side hey this is a live show the pole and I like to do every single Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. Pacific time right here on twitch TV slash awesome hardware we also like to split it up into two halves on YouTube so this week the first half is on my channel because I actually did a little switcheroo this week I was supposedly we were supposed to be at my place but things happen and so we're at Paul's place again two weeks in a row well that's cool so after about an hour or so we're gonna switch gears and go to Paul's channel if you're watching this on YouTube I'll put a link to that in the video description below or you can go to youtube to accomplish Paul's Hardware when this half is over also this is a show where we don't only just talk about tech news and stuff but we'd like to have a few drinks so if you are of legal drinking age feel free to drink along with us it makes us more interesting and we also sometimes swear we also have potty mouths when things get crazy and you know it's always warranted let's all language that language warning but if you have little ones in the room please hide them you know this is I'm drinking miso honey blonde from belching beaver brewery I see what they got there which also kind of sounds like miso like miso soup so it sounds very unappetizing Sarah honey yeah me and so cool I'm thinkin the same thing for now we'll be spitting through different beers throughout the quarter nice choose to all of you thanks for joining welcome everyone mmm we also sell stuff we have stores it's it's part of what we do to make a living so if you'd like to support us there and also got some cool merch nicely change you can get a bit with text slash store where I'm now selling hoodies with the zipper hoodie zipper hoodie yes zipper hoodie with it this is silver metallic logo there very nice just got a sample of it super super comfy and very affordable is this a lightweight one it's a lighter weight one yes yeah if you happen to be in like you know somewhere where it's not definitely cold all the time I know it's it's definitely where we're at but that might be a good option 34 bucks I think that pretty good desk mats are doing really well look it out anything for the females you got a bit matured for the girls and a bunch of us also available in black yep several new items on both of our stories Paul's is Paul Spartanburg Harbor that net for my store a new in particular Philips new yes so the the metallic silver I've just tried this it's it's a little ostentatious not gonna lie it's your little people go look at that and be like wow he's probably kind of full of him what I do but I it on and I was kind of I kind of liked it so no it's it's very subtle it's not like it's not like it's like huge yeah some like sequins or some shit is very subtle I've worried in the video I got that shit that I'm gonna post tomorrow so also the likes like a beam of light from your chest also I also got the lightweight hoodies over there check that out stuff two mugs pint glasses it's all real high quality stuff things to anyone who buys and stuff and supports us yeah and we'll shout out your name at the end of each half along with the Johnson it's tradition yep that is what we're working with for today we can go ahead and dive into the news that's your half the docks all switched around today yeah we flipped it alright so flipped it I'm starting off with hot and heavy hardware oh yeah which is also gonna serve as my techniques for the day because there weren't a ton of really interesting articles to be honest and we'll talk about some of that interesting stuff on Paul's half basically he's to all the good stories so but but there's a lot of good hardware that's coming out soon or has already launched this week so let's talk about cuz I thought it was gonna be first I wanted to like you know I know how it goes we changed the format oh yeah we just pure chaos I need some order inside that well well plow through yeah so first up we have this article from Lillet pooting which is about the smack Z I have no idea if I'm pronouncing this right it's either smock or smach I'm gonna say smock smack smack smack smack see it's a portable Linux gaming PC so imagine like you know Nintendo DS or I guess it would be closer to the the GPD win is it is that the name of it what GP GP thingy the windows one what's it called the one that we talked about like a week or so ago maybe PD remember what we talked about no I know I don't remember even my own articles GPD win - was the handheld Windows gaming device for triple-a gaming oh yeah ok so this is sort of like I do kinda remember this I guess the competitor to that this one's apparently gonna be a bit faster so you'll have higher performance here because it's being powered by a V 1000 series AMD Rison APU specifically the model number is the v1 6:05 B which we're all super familiar with and know the exact specs on that but it is gonna have four CPU cores eight threads two gigahertz base clock see on the job you know 3.6 gigahertz boost it's actually not bad and it is gonna be rockin Vega 8 graphics you'll have eight GPU cores exactly sure what the clock speed on that would be yeah you can do any other coffee but this is gonna be a full Linux based system in the palm of your hands today do you think probably not it's probably false - I just want to stop them I mean you block you want to I can if I may down the 40 make it moved right now I could lock the Mets kill hero before he kills you so it also features a 6 6 inch full HD display don't know exactly the technology behind that panel or the refresh rate I would imagine 60 Hertz I don't obviously don't have any like adaptive vsync or adaptive refresh rate there it's it's also coming in two different models you can get the pro version with eight gigs of DDR for 2100 2133 and a 128 gig SSD or you can get the basic model with 4 gigs of ram and 64 gigs of storage both of those memory and storage are both expandable regardless of which option you get you can go up to 16 gigs they take som so laptop memory and up to 256 gigs of nand flash storage that's pretty cool this was a very successful it started off as a very successful Kickstarter campaign in 2016 so it's been you know yes a couple years now so a lot of people were wondering if this was a scam if it was actually too too good to be true if there was any real plans for the the campaign managers of this project to follow through and they just uploaded these pictures of hardware so they're definitely working on the hardware and they revealed a spec sheet so looks like it's gonna happen so if any of you back that campaign you should be pretty happy right about now but we'll see keep an eye on this smock is a fun word to say it is very fun mozzie and smock Z just makes it even funnier mock-mock-mock the battery life estimated around five hours while gaming and fan noise should be similar to the Nintendo switch according to the CEO which I'm not sure how loud that in kind of switches not too familiar with it but 31 decibels is what they're rating it at because there is an actual CPU fan inside the unit which is somewhat unique to handhelds or it's somewhat uncommon on a lot of handheld devices but obviously with quite a bit more yeah I'm hoping not to again Nintendo switch rival noises perhaps it gives something like a nice gentle breeze over your pants as you as you play that would be that would be good to be you know a multi multi purposed that's innovation right there I'm all for it so moving on to the H 500 P white mesh from Coolermaster obviously we heard we saw a lot of the Coolermaster got a lot of backlash with their initial 500 H 500 P because it had a full acrylic front panel and the mesh on the sides was too far back almost on the sides of the fan not allowing it to intake enough fresh air and we found almost almost 10 degree difference taking off that front panel alone gamers Nexus was a huge a huge proponent you're gonna say asshole no huge daddy just a really a dick about what kind of asshole gives full you know unbiased reviews that's that's what a dick no he definitely explored this scientifically and found that the front panel was hindering the amount of intake air flow that this case could do he brought the hammer down brought the hammer in coverage and coolermaster listened apparently with this mesh mesh mesh if I'd version it's not a fractal case but it does have two layers of mesh the steel exterior mesh and there's like a finer mesh underneath it that's the actual dust filter so the external mesh is kind of just there for aesthetics and then they have a finer mesh underneath that maybe just like an inch beneath it yeah for the XL filtration double mesh it's there's not really a picture of it here but yeah that we got we got a chance to take a look at this and at the what they were working on at CES right and it really seemed like the the main problems that you know Steve and several other reviewers brought up they they address seemed favor dress pretty well so yeah obviously it needs independent testing again and all that kind of stuff yeah one of the issues that I was lamenting over in my review of the of the case was the power supply installation and how you couldn't install it from the rear you had to actually pop off the power supply shroud but that required you and screwing like eight different screws and it was a huge pain in the ass like the worst power supply installation for a high-end case in this price point I've ever seen and they fixed it so um you can install it right from the rear now so they made quite a bit a few improvements over just the the front panel area still get a nice tempered glass side panel those gorgeous 200 millimeter RGB fans which now have white frames because it's all white and stuff so are you gonna take a look at this one um I don't know I feel like I feel like reading the article kind of already dibs does it yeah by all means no I actually already just said okay for them to send one one over earlier today so I'm actually I will do a video on this at some point and in the near future I think I'm actually taking a look at one of their other cases you remember the trooper oh yeah they have the SC version now that has ten I'm using it for my 10 Gigabit Ethernet server pass and they just sent it to me that I wanted the striker because I I'm getting a Tai Chi motherboard I was like who the black and white will match it they're like we don't have the strikers they said we have one sample in but the colors off it's a prototype we can't send it to you or it can't be on video I was like Fox I mean the trooper then is more or less the same case so wait the trooper is the white one right no the striker was the white one the striker was the white one that had like the white LEDs on the side with the hard drive cage yeah that was the striker and then the trooper was basically like a black version of it still had the nine expansion or the nine five and a quarter inch bays the front they were kind of just like yeah you you you probably know because you have more recent I just had the CM storm trooper and it's like storm trooper really you're not gonna get like sued by Lucasfilm over that right like and then I thought that was meant the storm trooper was the white one but that I always felt the names sugar eggs bucket yeah yeah I was I was like that case I'm cuz I'm a sucker for cases with handles on yes exactly and it has active side intake cooling on over the over the hard drive cages which yes which is nice if you're gonna you know do a stack of drives in there something yeah a really cool case and after they put the tempered glass it's amazing like that case I feel like those cases were ahead of their time cuz if you as soon as you put a tempered glass side panel on it just looks like a modern case yeah and even the internal layouts are pretty smart back then so we'll be checking that out but because of that circling back here I probably won't take a look at the HR hundred P white mesh anytime soon because I'm already started dealing with that coolermaster case but stay tuned impulse channel I was he will be writing a sample of that so uh good stuff from coolermaster moving on here we've got some other cases some budget oriented cases from Kolok which I have never heard of cool I think it's calling a link that's how you pronounce you baby they're releasing some budget cases this is from overclocked 3d by the way coinkidink so thank you over there to those guys it's a co-inky-dink what a co-inky-dink what a coinkidink but they're also making cases nice yeah that's that's where we're at right now we have only on our second beer so they have the observatory and the stronghold two different cases very similar though they both are supporting up to e ATX motherboards they have a very similar internal layout however the exterior aesthetic is slightly different from case to case the observatory is a bit more rounded has some softer features the stronghold has got some sharper rectangular features you might also notice they've kind of borrowed Observatory as the strong yes I think so well actually I don't know I don't Cournoyer you saying this is the only rounded corner I see yours right here yeah oh yeah then you're probably right I missed that corner yeah exactly yep which kind of very much looks like the Corsair dust vent doesn't it the 570 X Canada's right kind of does the first when I saw it I was like wait they got the picture round that's right that's a Kalinka they're taking a child so yeah I I feel like these cases are there if you want to pay very little for a premium looking exterior so they're pretty inexpensive 63 no this is all you know in great British pounds 63 great british pens for the observatory 36 great British pounds for the stronghold so probably like $45 for that one and maybe $80 for the Observatory which is pretty damn cheap I mean if you get a case for under $50 and it looks like that great the sacrifice where they cut corners and how they make their margins is on the internal layout so the internals are very much budget oriented cells sparse so you might have a hard time building in this thing it probably won't be as smooth as something like you know a p400 eclipse from from fantex version so you've got this space here this is just empty like the radiators drive man oh right there there's maybe some Drive mats down at the bottom maybe behind the behind the the motherboard tray but it doesn't look like there's a ton of room behind there so cable management might be a little bit difficult even though you do get a power supplies there's certainly no rubber grommets to be seen yeah exactly that's a surefire way you can tell it's budget but first thing to go with the budget cases if you just care about the exterior then this may look into moving on though msi is launching their or they have launched their optics MGP series curved gating motors that I did get the chance to look at briefly at CES I did I think I did a video on it on one of them we have the MGP 2 7c and the MGP 2 7cq so I'm just gonna refer to them for now as the C and the C Q models they're both 27-inch curved displays with a was an 1800 are 1800 are curved VA LED panel 1 millisecond response time 48 to 144 Hertz refresh rate with adaptive sync however the C model is 1920 by 1080 and the C Q is quite HD or 2560 by 1440 this video is enthralling the 1440p model also has a higher maximum brightness at 700 nits there's a 50 on the c model dude has to break into the laboratory to steal some serious able to monitor cuz obviously this is where they got it Oh Liam is being developed in this government laboratory Oh MSI actually built this robot it's a big collaboration intelligence collaboration with Austin Dynamics to make three career broken in laboratories steal this monitor obviously we wouldn't have this technology at this point in time it's long you know something only the government would have yes this is this video was actually a leaked by what's-his-face yeah the monitor actually also has a mind of its own we'll move around on its own that's he can give his name I like that let's let's take another look at their monitors just kind of just kind of stretching this measure how much that RGB on the back yeah that's what it does so no one can see it you heard it here first folks RGB of Shane's monitor so is amazing Snowden I was thinking of Snowden I was trying to say I was trying I was trying to say this video is by Snowden himself how far down this is done this little side path can I take us all right sorry please please continue okay so ignore everything I said it's all fake and wrong no everything is false it is true you should all be terrified yeah so I guess the real wow factor here apart from just being like another curved panel is that it has prism seek illumination so those five RGB LED zones that you see on the bottom bezel yeah those can be programmed they're programmable within the SteelSeries engine software so you can make them show you things like your ammunition in-game your health you can even have a display we're giving notifications for discord that'll give us I gotta give msi credit for at least the demos that they had gone on at CES they were very quickly able to take you up maybe they had just done it enough times at the by the time I went up that went there soon they will very quick quickly take you up to look at the monitor get you into the game and show you like okay you should here and like one of these little bars you can set to count your headshots right every time you get a headshot you know one of the lights lights up and if you yeah 10 or something like that or to show ammunition or that kind of thing it's it's one of those things where it's like I've seen attempts of doing that before unlike it like with a keyboard you know like the like you have RGB keyboards special lights on it and stuff and I rarely see them actually used cuz it's like you pregnant lease you're making you're not looking down at the keyboards right the chances of you actively seeing something down there supposed to you know something that you just pop up on the screen somewheres make some more quickie and usable with this it's right below the screen so it's a little bit more in your peripheral vision so I could see someone using this it's probably still gonna be kind of a a niche thing but I would imagine it actually getting the most use out of like NMOS where you have where you can program like cooldowns okay where you can program cooldowns or in-game timers where timing is very important fps I don't really see a huge need I think it's more just the cool factor and like that's nice to have but I could see a lot of MMO players who are really serious or you know RTS players perhaps actually making really good use out of this I'd like to get like it professionals like a you know eSports pros perspective on this but the pricing here is four hundred and forty nine give up again everything's in great British pounds because it's a hexxus does that clerical so so 449 great British pounds for the C model and then 519 across the CPU yeah so um that's pretty that's not bad maybe about 600 us for the 1440p model I think that's that's doable weird thing though is that there's no free sink damn it it has adaptive vsync but it doesn't have actual free sink support so I guess there's that not that we can really afford many video cards anyway right now but let's move on energizer did you know energizer make smartphones Paul what ya know ya know in the battery life Seth silly everything else is great no I'm just kidding it's actually the complete opposite again this articles from a hexxus energizer teased their power max P 16 K Pro which is a upscale smartphone fitted with a sixteen thousand milliamp battery I didn't know that they could do that I mean is it is it as thick as like my arm like how the hell do they do that it's probably super thick it also features a but it says it features an ultra slim design despite having an enormous battery or an enormous capacity sized battery ultra slim design I mean it can't be more than it can't be less than 10 millimeter well you know Ultra is one of those subjectively quantifiable you know adjectives and probably adding to anything and immediately you're like oh obviously ultra I don't know I blame like BMW right BMW the ultimate driving machine it's like it's like you take a you take an adjective like that it's like BMW if you really made the ultimate driving machine then you would never have had to make any of more than one car that's true ever definition well because not everyone can not everyone can can afford the ultimate version that's it's only ultimate image in in certain areas which means the ultimate in price means they're lying to you because they're not fulfilling their promise of making the we because they said they only make one thing we didn't say confessing lis ultimate so the sub optimal price so with optimal price and I believe this energizer your phone will probably be the ultimate oh yeah sickness absolutely ultimate with the ultimate slim design ultimate thick it does have a six-inch I accidentally put six foot but no it doesn't have a six foot full HD screen it's six inches 16 cakes are pimp no wonder it needs a huge battery 128 gigs of storage no micro SD card slot a projector and you know it seems like it has a decent enough camera USB C which is good I like that that's yeah alright that's good yeah it sounds like they've done their homework we should be more positive because honestly of all the things and phones that I feel like it was one of the always one of the top things is always battery life so any phone even if it's a little thick true like like battery life is more important to me so so gay energizer for championing battery life apparently this is gonna be able to go like 17 days on standby that's impressive just said like I haven't charged my phone in weeks like holy crap so I'm pricing and availability to be determined obviously but it is coming that's what she said let's move on say the next article from overclocked 3d this is the Asus GTX 1050 and 1050 ti Cerebrus models served Cerberus Cerberus sorry sorry sir I can't I can't spell Cerberus carebears Cerberus I'm gonna call it Care Bears sure the Care Bear models which have officially launched at this point neither of which require any external power which is great so you can get all of your power straight from the PCIe slot I believe it's up to 75 watts through your motherboard which is great that is correct designed for in-game I cafes is what the article says that's interesting to me I didn't realize in game manufactures I know for you caffeine's I cafes like internet cafe oh yeah yeah which I guess you know if you got a bunch of 1080p screens that's gonna get the job done for most games right tweak the settings a little bit with a 100 and so every card here in the Cerberus lineup ships with a 144 hour burnin test already completed for quality assurance both of these cards a 1050 and the times of Ti are getting the same PCB and cooler there's really no difference there although the TI model will ship with 4 gigs of v-ray whereas you'll only get two on the non TI model model block aluminum heatsink pretty much standard design with dual 80 millimeter fans they are smaller so they might be a little bit noisier but then again it's a lower power card so it's probably not going to get us hot which means the fan self to spin up as much it's probably gonna be quiet is what I would imagine it does have a 3 plus 1 phase beer and design with a couple outputs including DVID the digital HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 both of these models non TI NT I will ship with a moderate factory overclock you'll be able to push that further of course at your own will and we've got some bass and boost clocks on the TI model of thirteen hundred and forty-one megahertz and fourteen hundred and fifty-five respectively and on the non TI 1400 and four and fifteen hundred and eighteen both of them will ship with seven gigahertz memory speeds so the other question is how much will these actually retail for I think we're gonna see a pretty hefty markup on these just because we're already seeing that with existing 10 a 10 15 10 20 T eyes on the market proud looking at a sale price yes a 300 of 5300 for the 750 370 999 for these 750ti used to be that high no I mean maybe I don't know that seems pretty high even for the current inflation and stuff and what are 10:50 is going for are they desert around 200 bucks yeah 250 right intended to TI's maybe 250 I'm sure they probably go up to 300 but 250 and I think for me because we've got a couple options now as an APU is just hitting the store shelves that maybe a 1050 or attend entity I would be excuse me would be a better option if you want a game at 1080p my goodness this is very carbonated the combination is doing its ok its bidding so I think the rising EP use are great but at the same time if I was really struggling to build a gaming PC right now I'd probably just go for a 1050 or 1050 TI bite the bullet pay quite a bit more for it but since it's such an entry-level card its inflated price is still within the realm of affordability for most people I feel where most people can fork out 150 250 bucks as opposed to like 800 or even like 500 for like a 10 60 and you can still get some pretty decent 1080p gaming performance out of these cars especially if you overclock and you have decent CPU to pair it with so I like I think this is sort of a good option right now I think 10 50s and 1050 TI's are probably gonna be selling pretty well within the next couple months until prices for GPUs go down the world so that's all I don't know I hate the idea of paying you know fifty to a hundred percent more Oh me to pay it's not it's not ideal I cringe is thinking about it but at the same time it also sucks if you're really into PC gaming you you're you're on a Nintendo DS you know and that's like oh you're getting your face ah but I do I will say for what it's worth the AAP use that AMD ap use provide a fairly passable 1080 gaming experience and if you're willing to get by for now and if you're a principled person where you like it no I don't but if wanna pay all that extra money right and and you can be just spiteful be like numb obstinate and I'm gonna hold out then I think you can get by yeah yeah what's next come on to our next segment which is pin my PC you guys have tweeted me your pictures and we're gonna yell at you and tell you what you did wrong he's super fun computers there's no way you guys subject yourself to this crab masochism week after week but we enjoy it we love it Dave and pretend and I build a computer yeah Tim alright first our first subject is proto height also for the record I see all of you guys donating in super chet thank you so much my gosh Ian's we will be reading all the messages you attach to those donations at the end of this half of the show so so stop dreaming don't stop briefly though it's gonna be a brief so if you ask us questions brief makes them like very short question yeah don't ask us about our like entire life story okay but thank you alright proto Highland burn NZXT s340 elite in white a gigabyte 970 ad s3p am3+ motherboard and FX 6300 with a stock cooler and r7 260x two gigabyte GPU eight gigs of ram and oh he's got an aching stick and a four gig stick wait he's got two four gig sticks and two two gig sticks interesting got 12 gigs of RAM here that's across four sticks short wireless card and of course air CX 550 power supply alright so the first rule of order is to well all right your stock cooler I would I would expect to stock cooler on a 6300 especially if it's been used for a while to be a little on the noise generating and slightly annoying side yeah I mean they can vary there was a there was a pretty wide variance in the different fans and and coolers at AMD had over the the the like aim aim three and am3+ and FM two products they sold so anyway put his stock heatsink fan so yeah that would that kind of sucks I would say upgrade your platform yeah obviously we're looking at it and what a system that's moving towards the more outdated side so so yeah that that's not the best we've got the red LED clear clear fan right yeah so that's like the clear heels yeah clear yes we're calling that clear here we are ready is that it's not you know if you want to be if you ought to be all flashy and out there and like you know like me whatever then then you know go for the clear the clear plastic led fan but yeah I feel like you got to own it it's not the classiest I feel like if you're gonna use the clear leb fan like your whole system has to revolve around that you have to make it the theme the heart and embrace it then yes but I have much just how much prefer to I much prefer LED strips or just like as there's there's fans that have LEDs that aren't necessarily the clear plastic anyway right you have a pretty solid case here I mean it's a nice looking case your power supply has you know decent looking black cabling your kill management's could be improved upon a bit you do have some gaps down here at the bottom for instance where you can reroute some of those cables just to make some of the runs a little bit shorter and that kind of thing but yeah ultimately you're looking at probably a core system upgrade at some point I would say and if you do upgrade I would get a because that looks like a thin ATX board if you got a full sized one it would actually clean up your cables a little bit because you can adjust them as far across to get to those to get to that kind of angry all right thank you prototype for sending in your submission next is Rene Gosselin with a 4770k system overclocked 4.2 gigahertz with an N 520 cooler a 87 d3h motherboard from gigabyte 32 gigs of 1866 speed memory to GTX 760 s and SLI three SSDs two hard drives 750 senator pretty watt power supply and it's a micro ATX build so Wow Mike good there's a lot of shit in here you know that for a micro ATX there's a lot of stuff I mean you can you can go for a full tower you go for a cosmos with this much shit which is great you've managed to compact it all into this tiny space and it looks like a very well used and well-loved system which is great that being said holy moly this is the crow dentist and hip is their total crow's nest but the power supply cables just sort of like looks like someone's entrails just get gutted so all kinds of fire my first the first thing that's standing out to me because right functionally speaking cable management's you know can be horrible and you can solve a functional system you have I'm seeing three sticks of RAM right is there is there force there I see three but it's different so there's a fourth HyperX very different so 1332 gig 1866 alright because seen from Resident Evil so yeah it looks like we got optical drive up here - is that - optical drives just man like well I I mean I I'm I ain't much going on I have so much appreciation for the use of space in here yeah that it's it's detracting for my ability to critique you know get a bigger case yeah get a bigger case and what was the cpu oh you have a great CPU it's a 4770k ditched our ethics cards and get one yeah yeah one faster card it'll clean up the cabling and it'll clean up the aesthetics overall it's such a hard ask right now power supply is great don't change it price place fund changer your core platform just swap out your usually does use dust it and get a better case I've never seen what cases I've never been one to recommend SLI for for like the mid to low end range cards like SLI for anything that's like I know for me and be like GG X 1080 level or above maybe 10 70s if that but like I don't know like the 60 level cards and then that kind of thing anything that's like 300 bucks and below I feel like SLI is is often kind of wasted so right I don't know you probably get some decent boost from your seven sixties depending on the games that you're playing so it's hard to say just ditch him right now I would like I would agreed upgrade to a single a single better graphics card and that would clean up things a lot and give you a lot more space but yeah a new case I think would do you yeah because obviously you have nowhere to put your excess cables and there's a really budget looking case for the amount of hardware you have in here and then your cooler the hood which one is it's it's a cooler register the n5 20 from Coolermaster it's a it's a weird little cooler it's not that bad like it's better it's definitely a decent step up from it from a stock heatsink fan it's still just a little weird it's like it's kind of offset it's got to you it's got to like 92 millimeter fans on it I think yes that's a little awkward to me as well I don't know I mean you got some nice core components in there especially your you know your processor your motherboard there's 2 gigs of ram pretty solid in there so anyway get a new case in case that has good cable management Thank You Renee and let us move on move on repealing another FX 6300 based system at 3.5 gigahertz gtx 750ti 8 gigs of ddr3 g.skill memory one turbit hard drive and what there will take power supply and some LED fans you know if you have attended TTI I would say your FX 6300 is probably all right you know if you're happy with the performance that you're getting in game with the current config then I wouldn't change it again we're dealing with that blue LED clear fan the clear for which you know why not red I mean even if it's clear why not red because you already have a bunch of red going on in your your RAM by the way if you get another Ram stick there's only one in there and the red on your heat sinks I think that would look nice let me just provide a counter here and I know we've just no trashing the no you know just been trashing the clear LED fans this is not a it's not the best for me but it's not horrible because they're all now matching you got three matching blue LED fans and red white and blue on black no I hate patriotism okay Miss America I don't mind your color scheme your power supply is you know it's it's got some some not not that great of a coloring on the cabling you got the catch of a mustard of course going at it looks like you have a single stick of ya memory that's what I'm saying but you get another guy in there which is I mean it's it's a gig so okay but you can do dual channel with that so I don't know you could upgrade to a second stick and get 16 gigs I don't know it would look nicer too but then again it's ddr3 so I wouldn't spend too much money on more ddr3 right now overall given what you're working with I feel like you have a pretty clean looking build yeah and I appreciate the various angles that you gave us with your pictures as well so yeah I like it it's hard to say too much as far as what you could do to improve the aesthetics here cable management I feel like all right so that rear blue fan I feel like the cable for that is kind of just here right right on top of the heat so you're right Kyle that's one thing that I'm pet peeve I or that I'm just peeved by is when cables are in front of the heatsink the heat sinks are there for like functional purposes and also they look nice so if your cables just sort of bunched up in front of it it kind of ruins that effect I take you back everything I said Paul's wrong to build this hideous so you can maybe just tuck the the cable between your heat sink your vrm heat sink and your CPU cooler I think it would look cleaner in that general area that's typically where your eyes are drawn to and a system is the CPU area that would little a little cleaner but angry overall nice build well spoken Kyle beep moving on is Evan dot PNG hey guys love of the streams we got a rise in seven 1700 at 3.8 gigahertz an asus be 350 motherboard of course our H 115 I Pro all-in-one liquid cooler 2 terabyte hard drive 120 gig SSD NZXT USB hub GTX 1066 gig which he got before the mining crazy thank goodness and here's their landing the pro for RGB Z's alright so cool this is a your your your cable cabling here has some sort of a it's white but it has sort of a silvery Sheen to it it does and you know it's pleasing it's definitely not ketchup and mustard and you've gone the extra mile to get some aftermarket cables here but they're not super trained well they're kind of a 4-pin society for me the 24-piece a little little kink going on there with the eight pin there yeah I don't know what yeah I mean it's hard to say exactly how you could fix that but it is you know it does stand out as kind of a little awareness I find it interesting that you seem very proud of your USB hub yeah why would you show that maybe there was any room elsewhere I'm pretty sure this other room for it was for convenience no it's interesting it does seem like it like it specifically routed out here to be like look at all my USB 2.0 yeah that I'm right it break it off and to me it looks it's distracting in a sense and it kind of ruins that clean aesthetic of that cable management bar article bar that is so you know classic of those NZXT cases there there are definitely certain products like you know you got your SSD down here you know and and obviously there's no practical reason to like move the SSD right out there where it's visually it can be seen there but that but that's a prestige position there yeah that's where it's like hey look at this nice unfortunate wishing you to look look at it yes look USB 2.0 hub I feel like is there's there's less of a like right sexy about a USB hub so that nothing sexy that I might kiss sure consider repositioning that elsewhere in the case where it's less visual other than that everything look it's looking pretty clean I mean you got a nice a nice color scheme going on due to the fact that it is primarily black and whites the few other accent colors like the bit of orange and copper on your graphics card you know they're not clashing too much or anything like that so right yeah yeah but really nice little build there yeah all together well done so thank you very much Evan very nice PC next we've got coalition gaming with Xeon X 5656 court at 4 gigahertz 8 gigs of RAM a Radeon 7970 gigahertz Edition with big stupid cooler that has 140 millimeter fans glued on and is supported by Legos EVGA 600 watt power supply cm liquid-like 240 AIO better pic of big dumb cooler also attached thank you very much for that specific explanation coalition so that's what we're looking at here though that's a substantial interesting it's actually cooler there interesting I wonder what kind of temps are getting on that to be honest I'm very curious okay Wow all right I'm huge so if that's not the native that's not the stock heatsink on no no no it's very much not so I don't know who makes that cooler so that's aftermarket just nice yes it's an aftermarket on some of you cooler okay that was probable but I don't know that like I'm wondering if it's the same company there was a company I feel like they were based in Europe you know they made this passive CPU air cooler through your GP you know that it was for the CPU but it was just it was just huge it's basically I could get a full sized ATX case and you stick this thing on and it's basically just a block and a bunch of heat pipes going off of it and then just like all these finned radiators that like takes up most of your cases it wasn't the macho zero was it no it wasn't this fucking thing no no I'm talking it had multiple like the motivation powers multiple of those like suspended in the case okay I I don't think it's a builder stone maybe no it's not - Sierra 95 because I've worked with the CRN 85 I'm sure I'll think of it it's not yes right no no this dang it I wish I had a better memory synthase anyway you sighs I bring that up is its biz because the this thing made for this GPU reminds me of it but yeah he's got to 240 millimeter fans attached to the bottom of that thing so that's pretty cool I hope I hope it's overclocked yeah yeah right all right cooling standing up most of me here is I mean other than that cooler and seen then it's and then when it's all like I like this I like this picture this isn't I like this in use picture because again here I feel like we've gone on a journey when it comes to the clear LED fans here because clear blue LED fans and yet the system on there like I stand out green that's obviously kind of the the focal point of the system right mm-hm so that's kind of working for me that's true no freakin heatsink it's got a it's a 7970 with one of the the blue there the turquoise PCB so you know you're kind of owning that at the same time a little bit a little bit I guess alright so other than that Oh what do we have to say you got you got solid kill management going on I don't see anything standing out the cable ketchup and mustard obviously hmm you know it's routed well but it stands out color wise so maybe a little cable extension there couldn't hurts or something for the my OC diesel to buy the CPU cooler cold plate or the water block just been rotated yeah but like I mean rotate that 90 degrees and get a little more slack give a little more slack than it would to be wherever you shape all right so yeah that's probably something we can do it's not gonna droop down enough to like encounter your graphics gardener or anything so maybe considering a 45 degree rotation counter clockwise of your CPU cooler and I also wonder why the rear exhaust fan is set to intake and I'm wondering if there's a dust filter for that I wonder that - Cal yeah it keeps me up at night I wonder that it does appear to be another LED strip down here at the bottom providing a little more accent lighting yeah it's crossing hey it's my system yeah coalition gave me you know and and you know it's a setup - with the Zeon six core is he on there - yeah extra session - that over last but not least we have an honorable mention for tonight this is from a 4 a.m. fellow and he sent in his picture of a risin 5 1600 system with an asus rog be 350 motherboard and an EVGA gtx 1070 super clock Edition inside the what case is this I don't know I don't recognize this the panel here you see sonic 520 no that's better the power supply but what cases this chat Corsair 270 is that is that what it is maybe your maybe your own 70 are okay 270 our course your case - to set a course here - 37-year ok all right for some reason I love this system just because it kind of disappears like like it looks so insanely clean but the components aren't like incredibly high end or anything also I love the carbon fiber that you put in your cryo rig age five I think that just looks super sick then I'm not a huge carbon-fiber fan to be honest I don't hate it but I'm not like it doesn't like oh my god stimulated when it's done tastefully when it's done tastefully like in this case which is very rare in my opinion some people just tend to plaster it on everything you know its carbon fiber it automatically makes it look good no this looks really good like if he's really really doing that and put it on the on the power supply shroud and on the panel at the back right that would've been overdone right here there's a fine line it's just a bit of an accent carbon fibers as runs a very fine box a very fine line between tasteful and tacky and I think you nailed it here mister sir and just just the fact it just looks so it looks like dark it looks dark and moody there's something about though it's so moody to me like it has a personality for some really good it has a soul I don't know decent photo - very good photo that helps - lighting and stuff the cable managing like that those cable and I like the fact also guys take notes I'll take some for myself that the only cables you really see are the 24 pin and your GPU oh look and I think that's it's a carving cooler do we already say that yes H right he did follow up pictures so here it is he also did the before and after like wow anyone anyone who's got the stock AMD heat sink fan he was really sitting an upgrade and this is your motivation this is solid before and after upgrade look yeah at that oh this thing just so much more beastly I also love those not too offends that you put at the front just that tad of like you know kind of grayish silver those are the Redux series fans I believe which I used recently in a February's PC at the month but she'll be you guys will be seeing soon those are really really nice extremely quiet high-quality fans obviously not too bad just I don't know everything matches Britain those I feel like that complements your bet your memory like your RAM is kind of silvery those heat sinks by the way what kid is that team team matches the fans perfectly I like everything just meshes together very well here so kudos you sir well then energy what's next moving on to face off Paul and I are going to head to head on the crappy online two-player game the lured loser has to do something stupid stupider than they usually do that's some stupid or stupider than they he's easily dip so we got to that

peace all that stuff but no super fun I need to turn your your compressor up more I think I'm good now I think the worst is behind us but the punishment that I have for today I said Paul will read me a I've actually concocted my own sort of like Mad Libs paragraph okay you're gonna ask me what you know what certain adjectives and verbs and like blank fill in the blank things that I need to answer okay and then you're gonna make me tweet the end result to a random youtuber alright alright so support away how okay so so you can see it in the show doc you have to ask me and you have to also write down what are the which words that I choose so you have to document this and I'll try to forget exactly what my mad libs paragraph was I actually kind of don't remember it all that well that's good that's good you didn't plan ahead so I'll just have to uh I'll answer it first and the show doc is it it's in the faceoff section no oh I'm sorry yeah no it's not oh oh here we go liar okay right okay now okay so you remember you fill in the blanks so you have to write down everything I say okay so I will write down and I'll just come up with the first thing I'll say the first thing that pops in my head we're not allow it we're not letting chat do this oh you want to do that yes I'm glad Ivan that would make yes sincerity no it you already know it okay fine all right so chat we need a we need a pet name a pet name a pet name first person to put in a pet name um speaking of pet names the dogs or dogs are crying getting they're getting upset that they've been separated from us and then also we need a verb ending in ing I like Sparky we're gonna go Sparky Sparky alright we also need a verb ending in ing Benny and ing after the verb any and ing we will need a body part yes I'm trying to go ahead just a little bit so we can we see fingering I mean fingering things for fingering fingering and after the body part we're gonna need a liquid a liquid liquid so fingering liquid so body part arm foot elbow arm was the first one I think that's stupid okay I saw ankle bye after liquid we need an adjective adjective of course always important liquid let's see what liquids do you have you guys come up with there's beer vodka piss gasoline is that primo chill view it's Remo spill view do you promote chill vo genius yeah pretty much I love you so after the adjective we'll need a verb past tense give us a verb past tense and date so right now we need a adjective I see Ewing spewing humping a CEREC those adjectives II enough the first one I saw was edgy edgy yeah sure you do that or fizzy we're fizzy I think fizzy I like fizzy okay I know where I know we're probably breaking the ad-libs rules here but fizzy fizzy verb past tense we have fucked after bursty past tense we need a family member roasted ducked a plural noun yes and a pet name there's the last ones family member plural noun pet pet name alright so verb past tense Curt arrested what is that gargled gorg IC gargled alright gargle gargle 'don't poor man poor man will noon is gotta be seems stuck in the family members little noun people we're moving on doggies Utes Oh fu chaps chaps fires hot dogs felons eggs watermelon melons and then we need one more pet names one more pet name art will do melons one more pet name people this is one more awesome that name all right one more pet name whatever it was speaking of pet name what are we doing after this we're done oh good bandit bucko classic T Rufus dog Oh slut I kind of like can't bandit or are you going for slut I mean I don't know what your pet names typically know what the theme is these are ridiculous Bilbo Baggins okay whistling nice aw I forget what was it bandit bandit bandit nurse all right dude bandit okay that's it that's it all locked in stop all your suggestions now before we break the internet I'll ready all I'll read the Madlib we read the monster we ever ate and then you're gonna have it all clean it out - who will get to that movie okay crossing we got hey Sparky just want to apologize for fingering your thigh last night after my fifth shot of pre-much Hillview I devolved into a fizzy state we must all control I may have also gargled your granny it's not Jewish which explains why you're out of melons your bandit obviously I God okay when one explains the other no that's just what promotion that's what that's what do it that's why you shouldn't do shots pretty much of you that had things happen it's like the new for look oh that's why you watch awesome hardware is to learn this so here's how we're gonna choose I've actually come up with a list of 10 different youtubers or whatever Tech people to be completely away yes we're literally spending more time on the punishment that we did play in the game this is it's worth it trust me so I'm gonna choose the number one through ten and then you're gonna choose number one through ten okay and we're gonna add those two numbers together and then that'll tell us who are who are person is okay once it goes past ten that goes back to one oh okay so if I if my numbers 10 and yours is too then we're gonna choose whoever - I see right makes more sense now yeah okay so you to pick a number one through ten in your head I'll pick one okay I got it okay say the number of the same time one two three nine so eight that's seventeen seventeen so number seven verse seven who's number seven that's right that's mr. Salazar Greg Salazar studio you guys are wondering all right potential alternatives where Luke Linus Wendel J Dimitri Austin Evans random Frank P Joker and Jerry pretty comprehensive list all right so so relook Greg all right Kyle's gonna tweets Greg right now and this why don't you.why like craft up yeah isn't he engaged now isn't that gonna be what if his what if I ruin their entire engagement probably will oh my god this is gonna be glorious but he has a sense of Greg has a sense of humor it was great it was great how you like ruin my life like that was good that was really good Peraza all right so good in the meantime while Carl queues that up here we have a couple other things to go over real quick so we're gonna start going to end down donation comments guys we still haven't come up with a solution for donation comments and making things shorter but we're gonna try to run through these really quickly we know they sometimes take a lot of time so if you have been making donations we very much appreciate it but we're also would be super appreciative if you keep your questions or comments very simple for us I guess what's your favorite film be perfect okay first off average bill $5 donation says never fart in the shower unless you're showering with a significant other in that case let it rip no good advice average bill pup Shepard with the $10 donation I would love to set up lights and fans in my room that can interact with games to simulate the in-game environment perhaps a vibrator that can shake the floor or chair melt that okay top I wish you luck in your endeavor pup Louie does Cellucci so do G $5 edition guys put my goddamn PC for love Gabby pay bed also take my five big ones oh did you do we didn't we didn't Duke we do sell do cheese I guess you're a cow I guess not I blame Kyle I yeah sorry Forrest Smith with the $10 donation really appreciate you Kyle and Paul thank you for us we appreciate you too finished my first build this month we didn't pimp my PC from his Twitter handle thanks for all the helpful videos and tips cheers to you both Thank You Forrest and we appreciate everyone who sends in their pictures for Pitt my PC Kyle has some arbitrary way of deciding on it and I don't know I'm not privy to it so that allows me to diffuse Wow to deflect it Wow way to put it all on me I've chosen Pitt my peasy one time you were here in jail and you never said thank you actually that was so long ago it was alright let's move on thank you for a Smith Street vulture seven one seven five dollar donation how do you overclock memory and plug-in timings because mine's at 3066 with Rison & GP prices on video I would say our MSRP maybe an MSRP maybe not in stock hard to tell you exactly it's a difficult question to answer right here but plugging in XMP timings is often the simplest way so if your motherboard has a list of memory that they have approved that works usually they'll tell you whether the XMP timings worked it you get that memory and plug it into your motherboard and just set the XMP settings it should work that's the simplest way to do it yeah and that's again that we don't have time and ruch wire $10 Canadian hey guys I seem to confuse you too last weekend planning to build an ass HTTP can handle 4k and VR and Silver's don't see us 381 my comes out was wondering if hey the 700 K will be Opie yes would go for it anyway but what sending the tweet to Gregg Cal's tweeting here we go it even looks sketch here it looks even sketcher because it was actually over the the limit the character limit so I had to use like if they've you're you are and it looks it looks super ghetto so he's gonna be even more confused because it's not usually how I tweet what have we done wake up guys go go check out that tweet and reply to it and blow that shit up we tweet the hell out of it Jason Kristoff $19.99 do you believe new cards will be out next month or soon we're gonna talk a little bit about some rumors about that on my half of the show I don't know and I am like when I don't know and when I don't have a good inclination I don't want to be I don't give people false hope so I would say yeah probably not I'm not expecting it but um you know who knows half a dropper $5 donation says woo Lex Avellino at the 50 freaking dollar donation thank you so Lee I have a photographer new to gaming just put together new build love your feedback and he tweeted and with his Twitter handle I tried to make a product to the productivity gaming combo really think it's missing something and once that's me I was looking at recent reply to your tweet I'll have a reviews $5 donation sup guys what do you think of Jason's bite my bits interview video did you watch that no I did not I don't watch it sorry yeah don't feel bad we're busy we don't want you to eat as a but but I'll have anything for the nation and we thank you okay if we let you down enough you'll stop eventually everyone we love yeah gives up on exactly Michael Michael Oh $5 donation better performances ram upgrade four to eight gig sticks or to sixteen gig sticks I would go with to sixteen gig sticks because it would provide the capacity assuming you have four dimm slots that would live you space for future upgrades performance wise you're assuming you're talking about dual channel in both situations you're not gonna see a significant difference for two or four sticks thank you that Michael super super Sue's juice $10 donation I missed the cutoff hit my PC still tweeted to Kyle anyway because I'm a damn child like that yeah well thank you thank you for tweeting Kyle will respond I love children it's Kyle's gonna reply right now totally something promises not be passing stuff for Cal all right we got some job thank you everyone some donations Johnson and let's let's see who who bought stuff from us really quick before we move over in my half 27 today yes okay all right first off Stephen W from Washington Johnson to you for oh the Sun the metallic metallic that was cruciate flying off the shelves Nicola Nicola Tesla no but Nicoletti favor of a CPU cooler in dark gray thank you Bill s from Michigan for the pub less thank you for your patronage Johnson took even I think that's a double John Savage adds he clearly is a fan of metallic silver you got a bit with metallic silver logo t-shirt oh the hoodie it's nice noise man people like the shiny got from Florida the thumbscrew deckle as well as diamond oh man the metallic silver t-shirt again at a legit I was not aware that the shiny was in such high demand bill for people to viewer beware of bottlenecks t-shirt Thank You Johnson to you Nathan V from Michigan as well also the thumbscrew metallic silver lightweight hoodie so much as well as the 50 knots mugs thank you thank you very much Nathan thank you very much Forrest picking up a beware a bottle neck shirt and a CPU cooler shirt Johnson's all around and one more for John John J buds that's his real name CPU cool shirt thank you very much sir Kevin D from Washington got the mousepad dude thumb screw mousepad thank you Kevin Johnson Matthew W from Georgia got the heavy metal great thumb screw shirt and the desk mat as well thumb screw logo on it thank you very much ed Johnson for you Nick s from Ohio got the key cap thumbscrew key cap wear it proudly or have your Kevin keyboard keep Tyler s from Ohio got the game disc mat and a pub glass and finally Reese I believe Reese's that's pronounced freeze tea please round oh my gosh Australia a good day and I'm shipping cost yeah I thank you for may God be with thank you for supplying the shipping cost for that is about tears I mean it's it's expensive but isn't that horrible but thank you thank you so much for your support got the mousepad and death mat set as well as the white logo tri-blend t-shirt good night mate thank you guys so much for tuning in and for buying stuff and being awesome fans don't go anywhere though because part two side B is right around the corner actually in a couple minutes we'll be streaming to Casals channel youtube.com slash Paul's Hardware again follow the link for that in the video description if you'd like to toss a like on my be awesome if you'd like to do thumbs or timestamps that would be extra super cool a little time step and yeah we love you we'll be right back thanks everybody
