you're unlisted maybe he since I never saved it is it's confusing because there's still so many people in chat but yep it's unlisted ok well the link is there on my half so that ya know yeah go to it yeah I just if no one wasn't the chatted be very I did not pee for two hours yeah it was a long peon usually lot quicker that's not true stop pin on those beers bladder can't keep up they got on my hands at all right I'll make sure I wash through go right the very weak okay we're live little I've to both hey how's it going everyone welcome to awesome hardware episode 146 side beat if you missed side a go to Paul's channel it's Paul's hard work or no youtube.com slash Paul's hardware or you can find the link in the video description of my youtube channel my youtube video this is a live tech news show that we stream every single Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. Pacific time right here on twitch.tv slash awesome hardware or to our respective YouTube channels obviously today the second half is on my channel and it's a fun tech news show we like to have a good time have a few drinks if you are of legal drinking age in your country feel free to drink responsibly with us it's a good time makes us more interesting and you can also check out wait no what was the other thing Oh quick disclaimer we occasionally will swear when when the energy is heightened and we get excited about certain things so if you're particularly sensitive to that just be aware that this is a pg-13 type show sometimes rated R but never rated X because youtube doesn't allow that it's supposed to be swapped but it's not swapped properly but that's fine was it locked up in your half my half it said you were awesome hardware they said you were awesome sauce news oh yeah I used a really old one that's weird because we saved that same profile it's fine anyway the show must go on ladies and gentleman if you'd like to buy anything from either of our stores Paul's heart paul's store is what is it okay my store is bit with tech slash store with I think the new CPU cooler bottle openers are for sale they they they open bottles very easily very responsible yep our Internet weird right now hopefully that doesn't affect the stream also the rip gamepad shirt is in stock now it's brand new design my store is pulsar Burnett barber done it my metallic silver men's black tri-blend shirt is going to be end-of-life soon so get them while they're hot Haley and if you buy stuff during the show we'll shout out your name at the end of this half yeah John sense and we'll give you a Johnson we express our grateful gratefulness to you we'll leave our johnson at you i'm holy crap I usually say these for the end but thank you very much AB to stretch I have to tract or abstract for the hundred dollar donation guys comment to it we'll save the comment for the we'll save the comment for later but if you continue donating we'll read all the messages you attach to those donations at the end of this half the show so thank you very much in advance keep giving us money alright our first segment for today is to fund or not to fund we're taking a look at three crowd funded campaign products these things who knows what they are the first one is the lumo it's a mini transporter which is kind of like a robot sidekick according to the post here they've already funded nearly a million dollars out of their $100,000 goal so people clearly have an interest in this self-balancing transporter that features AI with intel's real real sense technology it features auto follow video capture touch voice and gesture control so you could use it for like video conferences you know oh I'm sick I can't make it to the meeting but I can send my weird little Segway robot minion out for me and then I could hear and and see everything that it sees and then respond and this is like a dude that's pretending to be a robot - it's very cute and yeah I mean it's got a playful personality this is like a smart robot you could write it - so it's that it doesn't just follow you you could actually like hop on top of it and get around that way if you're a lazy asshole at some convention CES or whatever it's only $1,400 $1,400 I want three yeah I think I need a little army of them just to do my bidding get me groceries lumo you know entertain my friends LUMO make me money mo take a selfie right take a selfie cuz I can't just use my arm that would be too much work you love's look there's a little love thing - oh he's cute and then you can you can you can you can make him hold a tray and put flyers on it be like hey LUMO I hand out these Flyers to random strangers that won't certainly steal you and try to sell you for thousands of dollars hundred dollar piece of portable technology yeah just just go out enough fun wander on your own like I'd rather send my kid out there you know cuz kids you can just make a new one okay so that happens so um there's there's LUMO next up we've got the kira mechanical keyboard this already has two hundred and eighty thousand dollars funded of it's fifty thousand dollar goal this is a compact keyboard but it also does have a keypad ten key number pad which is pretty impressive for how slim this thing looks at first glance it's fully programmable via the hardware we've seen a lot of like coolermaster does this they have programmable keys that's all hardware based you could just create macros on-the-fly with the keys themselves I think that's pretty cool however it's still open source so you know if you want to like put some programming here on github that supports a software version of programmable interfaces with this keyboard you can easily do that it has perky RGB lighting obviously one thing that surprised me is that it's using a USB type-c port for its power and data so that's that's good that's good and that's something that I feel like should be adopted more more more often with these mechanical type keyboards that have detachable cables it also features PBT die some sublimated sublimated keycaps in-house hako switches this is a something that's made in-house by the company that makes this keyboard I've never heard of hako switches before they do look like they have some cherry MX keycap stems where it's got the little T stem where you could replace it with your own Cherry MX keycaps if you wanted to but I have no idea how the hakko switches perform and feel according to them they're good obviously they would say that and this is retailing or you can get a Kickstarter early early access for a hundred and sixty nine dollars which they're deliciously tactile deliciously tactile is the adjective used okay sure why not so one hundred and seventy bucks for this keyboard which is pretty much on the highest end of of pricing that you can find with with mechanical keyboards right now so it is fairly steep expensive yeah it is very pricey next and finally we've have the Diggs rival dog crate and I only you I only choose dog dog products for to fund or not to fund because I know Paul has dogs dog and so I like to choose these dog products these dog related or dog owner targeted products to see what Paul thinks of them because I cannot relate to I only have cats and they destroy everything I love so I would never invest any sort of money into them but Paul might into his loving dogs they're adorable and cute I do that sometimes so and there's clearly demand for this to some degree it's it's already funded 46,000 of its $30,000 goal this is essentially a dog crate that is collapsible you can take it anywhere it can fold down to a fairly small size you put in your your trunk easily even to your front seat it's fairly attractive compared to the the sort of wireframe the wireframe cages that we typically see that kind of makes it look like your dog's just kind of suffering in a jail cell like that they do a really good job here in the promo ad just making it look like the dogs having a terrible time in a conventional dog carrier it's safe you know there's no risk of your dog getting its paw or its head or tail stuck into it so this is essentially how it works it folds up like so and pops it up and there you go your dog can fit in it and be happy and look good there's a tray for poops I would imagine or whatever kind of shit that your dog brings in that Doug's pretty fucking happy to be there I think goals hey you know it's it's good for tinkling look at he just walks in like I want to be caged fuck yeah if it's like this all day I'm down so it's the dig memory foam mattress in there yeah fuck I don't even get that at home you know so this dogs live in la vida loca chill like a boss in this revolutionary dog carrier what do you think Paul 57 bucks about this product 57 dollars yeah all right that's not bad I was expecting more it seems like it's more suited for smaller dogs yeah yeah like based on the video at least I I have two dogs Nori's about 40 40 pounds heroes more like a hundred pounds yeah no wait here okay don't Matt here are no way nori I think would also be a little tight a little tight in here yeah yes they had a larger version of it though could you see yourself yeah you know here's my question do you ever possibly like the ever having laps the collapse size here it's not that collapsed right that's still fairly thick yeah so it's not it's definitely not getting down to as small of a footprint as as the the crappy cages they show earlier and the thing right but it definitely looks like Union you could more easily fit it in a trunk at the very least possibly because I don't think it like a full sized cage could ever fit in a trunk realistically but at least this can fit in your trunk but you know and because you have big dogs they already take up a lot of space once you put them in the car right so having a cage and your dog in the car in the backseat for example might might be a little stuffy but you were you were actually mistaken it's $57 for the pad just for the pad yeah oh yes great pad so it's 135 dollars sighs 135 then 135 for the crater the Craven small crate 156 for the crate and the pad combo pack that's all for small side cuz I know you have a dog cage at home but do you ever need to take it out of the house not really that's what I was thinking I was like isn't a dog cage mainly for home use so the fact that it's portable and can collapse is kind of a moot point yeah unless you have any other are there any other application when you would need to break them but then again when you have a small dog there's there's there's a like there's more small places where the small dog could go and escape to and stuff like that so maybe if you have a smaller dog you're more likely to be bringing around a portable cage I don't know I don't know medium and large sized dogs so yeah it's it's hard to say for sure okay well what about well what about the keyboard and the robot sidekick that we took a look at do either of those stand out to you as something that you would buy personally um the keyboard seems like it's a keyboard and there's lots of different keyboards and lots of people are very specific about the keyboards they want there wasn't anything that stood out to that about that keyboard that made me like wow that's so much different than lots of other keyboards yeah I've seen so I guess the robot um just yes it seemed very different yeah lumo what would you do with it if you could send it out and do your bidding would you have a do for you for me personally like like when I do videos like if I go into a video when I'm walking out out and about and whatever this could actually follow me around to get just tracking shots of me going different places that yeah that could be pretty useful for me kind of like it kind of like a drone with the auto follow feature that you know but it wouldn't like kill you from its blades just like stabbing you in the eye yeah maybe it's a little bit more a little bit more practical and you can hop on towed around write it around - right that's true super can get you from A to B for convenience if you did that with a drone you would just end up breaking it if you stepped on it so okay cool I I think I'm with you on there so cool but that's that's that's that segment let's move on pin my PC my busy Bret Oh Bret Oh Bret John you and your system no it's actually not that bad with a core ice core i5 7600 K it is at 4.8 gigahertz you have a hyper - 12 X in here and asrock fatality k-6 motherboard 16 gigs - my aching sticks of ddr4 2666 of corsair memory sand SSD 240 gig with the GTX 1050 ti4 gigabyte card and that's all inside of an NZXT s340 elite ok looks like you're going with the black and red theme which is great because quite frankly your graphics card will allow nothing else thanks MSI for locking users into a black and red color scheme even your your your cable management looks pretty solid it looks like your VGA cables could be improved a bit because they're sort of you know split off and it looks like one connector is just kind of dangling there so my suggestion would be like many others is to get a kit of extensions some sleeves extensions would do you some favors here especially in a nice case like this where the cable management is pretty solid it's a bug what is this bug a bug oh yeah there is a massive massive bug or critter inside of your case that is most likely impeding heavy airflow so you'll need to eradicate or you'll need to remove that bug quarantine it as soon as possible your temperatures depend on it ok thermal sustainability is at risk get rid of that bug it's glowing blue like it's absorbed some of the power of the computer yeah and it yeah it's probably gonna like defecate all over your SSD there before you know it so make sure you quarantine that shit run run malwarebytes to get rid of any bugs oh yeah that might uh you know settle into your system and you should be smooth sailing other than that man your system looks pretty good I like the red LED fans at the front I will say an amendment sort of an addendum to the the clear fan blade thing because you know Paul and I hate on clear fans we've been doing we're clear LED fans for a while I think in a budget a more budget oriented system like this one they're more tolerable because they allow some some illumination inside of your case without having to buy a straight up LED a strip or LED system so if you wanted to you can actually match those fans with the back the rear fan and your top fan could also be the same exact fans that you have it at the front of your case I think that would look pretty good maybe even slap one of those onto your hyper - 12 X that would look pretty sweet everything would be very matchy-matchy be nice other than that very clean system well done sir Thank You Bret thanks Brett next we have Paul I thought I told you not to submit unpin my pc no this is a different poll oh well in that case let's let's uh let's welcome him to the pit my PC group here we have an i7 8700 K on top of an gigabyte Z 370 XP sli to 8 gig Corsair Vengeance lpx 2400 Styx NZXT kraken x50 t1 gigabyte geforce gtx 1080 windforce and a thermal take tough power 750 gold Samsung Evo 2 and 50 gig SSD and so forth so this is a bill that when I look at it first off from the outside with the tempered glass side panel on there looks beautiful I love the overwatch decal I think it really adds some personality yeah and then and looking inside it's well centered to putting down a decal like that yeah middle of a big blank tempered glass or plexiglass on tacky doesn't look too amateur and then we also have a nice internal layout here everything's super clean cable management's on point if you wanted to pimp out your PC as is what the segment's all about I would definitely suggest like the last user investing in some cable extensions definitely would help you out here even though these black ones aren't too bad they're still sort of that rubbery material with the rubber casing the wire casing and they don't look all that great there's a lot of potential with this system I feel like everything's good to go you do have a motherboard that has a rather brownish PCB there's not much you can do about that but at the very least you can maybe swap out those those case fans for something a little bit more stylish if you to bring some bling to your rig overall maybe get some RGB fans in there to match I mean after all you you know you do have a crack and x52 or is that X 54 sorry X 52 in there sorry that that already has RGB lighting on it if you want to just sort of take that up a notch you could invest in some RGB fans but Oh Massa I want to say it's good there's a little I feel like these the X 52 has several cables coming at the top of it I feel like this could be tidied up just a little bit there and the red caps on the PCI Express power cables are standing out to me a bit here they're not too bad since they're kind of the main accent color besides black and white right but since there's a sense there's a daisy chain this extra extra bit um stands out a little bit there mmm so a cable extension or you can also replace those caps as a project to either either those I think would finish things off yeah nice build up thank you very much all right all next up we have album W Ellen Project purple Scorpio has an i7 6700 K a Strix 1066 gig 16 gigs of tread NZ RGB 2400 speed memory and EVGA 550 G - a part of our killer Z 270 AC what is that is it killer wait but what's the killer motherboard oh oh the the the asrock ezra yeah fatality killer or I start killer okay yeah anyway Z 270 motherboard yeah maybe he meant as rock uh yeah it took me a second thing okay a couple ml 120 blue fans a couple ml 140 blue fans or cravaack air cooler and 850 Evo 250 and 960 Evo 500 and 500 gig and a fem text and to evolve modded the mod is pretty sweet I want to just draw attention to the mod really quick the front front panel there okay because the this case is known to suffer from airflow because of its closed off front panel so this obviously helps things a bit I'd be very curious to see what kind of temp drops you you received from that mod what's really nice though pretty straightforward rectangular cutout here with a dust filter yeah so it's a nice month it is functional I like the Scorpion graphic on the SSD in a very nice location there I think the cables are looking great there as well mm-hmm cable cabling here for your your 24-pin your supplemental your your 8 pin for CPU and graphics card and the SSD they're all looking really nice and you get bonus points in my book for having hot line colors oh yeah yeah well well I appreciate the reverse shot of the cable management's that's looking quite clean as well GPU sag though GPU saygus is really the standout here yeah and there's various ways of combating this you can get a stand that sits from the bottom just above the power supply tray there's brackets that attach to the other graphics card mounting points here for PCI and PCI Express expansion slots that could also work out for you yeah that and I guess maybe the power supply yeah power sticker yeah the yellow on that doesn't match quite as well with the rest of the system so maybe maybe that we met up could also be heatgun daft or something like that but overall very nice though those those are minor issues you have a really clean really nice looking system thanks Alan alright next up we have an 8 it's super panda Nate Dogg alright so he's got a real Toro CR 1280 case an msi 970 gaming motherboard an AMD FX 6200 at 4.1 gigahertz being cooled by a courser H 115 or H 115 I 4x4 gigs of crucial ddr3 and an X afar or I'm sorry XFX r9 390 okay there's a bit of color clash here we've got red LED fans blue memory ketchup and mustard cables with some yellow in there so at the same time since you have a AMD FX 6200 I'm not going to tell you to spend much money on this platform but rather upgrade it entirely to maybe a Rison platform or a budget oriented Intel platform because because yeah it's it's really not worth spending too much more money on this exact system I think the case is still workable if you went with like a budget Rison build you can easily maintain this case because it can support that 240 rad or is that a 280 red it's a 280 red if it's an HH 115 oh yeah it is 280 so yeah that's that's cool honestly dude like I think if if you wanted to upgrade to Verizon that's probably your best bet I wouldn't even invest in like cable extensions unless you were first planning to spend your money on getting a better CPU and motherboard eBay heat sinks on the memory I'm noticing here that's eBay heat sinks yes Ram four by four gigs crucial ddr3 at 1600 with eBay heat sinks what does that mean I don't know after my aftermarket heat sinks on the memory and is that a thing if you buy like generic green PCB geum-bun by memory you can add some heat sinks on top of possibly yeah yeah I agree with most of the stuff Kyle said you're looking at don't spend any more money on this computer unless you're upgrading this the core the core platform new motherboard new processor you're gonna need to swap that ddr3 for some ddr4 your r9 390 you could you can get a little bit more life out of I'd say make sure if you're upgrading the core components first you got what looks like a pretty solid real tour Ryutaro case here with plenty of space you got a very nice liquid cooler yeah which would be much better suited for a higher-end CPU I think yeah and then of course getting rid of the clear the clear LED fans we would also I think recommend as well but it and I would I would point out as far as cable management the USB cable that's coming off of your water block for your CPU is kind of distracting because it's one of going underneath your GPU maybe if you could route that up top where are the other cables from that water block are going I was gonna say Ramat you've got a weird twisty thing going on here with your with the tooth of tubing here you might be able to spin that 80 degrees or something like that right just to give yourself a a cleaner looking loop with that as well yeah sense so yeah but I mean I don't think your cable extensions look too bad or anything like that so I'm gonna take a stick with black and red yeah upgrade some some of the components here and yeah maybe get a matching graphics card power connectors that go along with your CPU and motherboard yeah okay let's move on thank you very much next we've got jelly raw lira jelly yeah with the resin 7 1700 ROG GTX chase tricks and in ASU's X 370 Prime inside of an air 540 from Corsair okay so it almost looks like we're dealing with the same issue here with the tubing on your arrow being a little twisted twisted yeah so maybe I don't know I don't know if you can somehow turn it rotate it you know 360 degrees in one way or another that it would would sort of even out it what do you think what's better the clean loop of the tubing or the Loko being right setup what if you have to choose between the two what do you go for oh so hard man it's a hard choice it is a hard choice I feel like I would choose the tubing yeah to be honest I would I would choose the tubing and have the logo upside down like I can agree with that I don't know and I feel like there's maybe even easier ways to cover up the logo then there is to mask the tubing twist eNOS yep so but it looks like you know overall some pretty good pretty good hardware layout here I feel like custom or sorry cable management can be fixed up a little bit towards the bottom of the case with maybe what's your HD audio cable that kind of looks a little bit loose maybe tidy that up a bit obviously custom extensions would do you a huge solid here and it looks like some and we absolutely have a computer off the floor moment here computer off floor yeah alright so you got all rant incoming you got the bare minimum you've got at least a piece of wood plywood whatever giving you some separation between the bare floor it's not good enough and the PC but you're still really low to the ground here and I would definitely recommend raising this 10 to 15 inches up off the ground to keep yourself from accumulating too much dust too rapidly other than that the cable management stuff Kyle mentioned and I do be good ok thanks Shelley Thank You Jenni next up a final s1 this long back and last but not least be a matte with a core i5 started off with please ignore the nasty PSU cables we will certainly not this is Tim my PC we can't yes it's impossible wait it's part of ok show Core i5 8600 case 16 gigs of Trident zrg be EVGA 970 super clock with an msi z3z 370 gaming Pro carbon inside of a fan Tex enthu Pro MSE great case Wow geez those power supply cables man I mean God why wouldn't you just tell us to ignore those they look terrible definitely get some extensions for that or maybe just some full-blown cabling cable mod does support that as well as many other independent cable sleeper cable sleeping companies remove that power supply sticker please and cable management if you like I feel like there's a just a second look that could be done at cable management here this give me gives me the vibe of like a system that was put together with kind of the vague idea of where everything should be connected up and then everything was was routed to where it should be and plugged in but you could attack this again especially looking at the rear panel there's just a lot of loose cables hanging around so it could be tied down it tied down a bit better sure ends I think that would clean things up a lot I would say consider if you really go in the aesthetic route if you're gonna go as far as like removing the the label on your power supply maybe also consider removing the label on the on the SSD yeah that's facing out there just an all silver face on that would look pretty nice and then just some simple black cable extensions you don't even need to pay a lot for really nice ones or whatever for your GPU and motherboard and yeah if you've got a real nice system everything is blending pretty nicely as far as the base hardware just just a few extra touches I think they would we would clean things up nicely yeah okay I agree with everything Paul said thank you very much Matt and that concludes it my PC yeah I appreciate everyone sending in their submissions there'll be a chance to do that again next week perhaps let's move on to our tech news and we'll roll through this relatively quickly because we're pretty light here in the day but first off 4k Ultra HD monitors running at a hundred and forty-four Hertz are are upon us they are moments away from being within our reach it's very exciting we've been waiting for these to actually hit store shelves for quite a while now like two years two years right and we've been waiting on DisplayPort 1.4 to deliver us deliver us this type of bandwidth and resolution and finally it's here according to tech powerup thank you for the article these panels will be coming to us this summer two notable monitors come to mind the first ones to arrive will be the 2018 Acer predator X 27 which which is going to feature a 4k resolution at 144 Hertz of course IPS quantum g-sync HDR DCI p3 color space with featuring 99% adobe RGB on a 10-bit color display doesn't that sound nice everyone doesn't that sound nice to come with these cool little grim reaper hood may or may not be included I would imagine that it is okay and if that isn't tickle your fancy there will be another monitor that has pretty much all the exact same specs that I just listed off in the form of an asus rog swift PG to 7uq so again you get all the same features I just rattled and beautiful beautiful little panel there before you get too excited and this will kind of break all of us right now and make us cry a little these panels are expected to retail for around 3000 USD ah that is a lot of money it's expensive if you thought you know the average 1200 to 1500 dollar price tag was was asking a lot with the last generation of panels or the current generation this is a lot of freaking money for for a freaking display yeah and imagine how much the ultra woods are gonna be these are just sixteen by nine panels so you know the x34 equivalent of let's say 4k by 2560 or something like that it's gonna be outrageously priced I mean those still sell to some degree they want it to sell as many monitors to make their margins back because because those reasons and and money but holy crap I cannot believe monitors right now Guinea monitors on the flagship side are this pricey there's there's a lot of speculation to that the reason these monitors have taken so long to come out I mean part of it is the the fabs that make the panels themselves the fact that these two monitors have the exact same specs when it comes to resolution and color depth and everything indicates to me that they're probably sourced the panel's of probably sourced from the same fab but there's also the ability to drive a game at 4k 144 Hertz which wasn't really like there's been there have been no massive updates in GPUs you have past year year and a half since ten atti came out right so there have been no great improvements in the ability to push this number of pixels at this at this refresh rate so yeah just the fact that nobody has a system that can effectively make use of these monitors right means that they're probably not looking at a huge base of customers who are ready to drop three grand on something like this yeah but at the very least you would be sort of guaranteed that I mean this monitor like a monitor like this would last you years to come I would imagine because it would be ready for the next and even like future generations of GPUs that would be able to push that many pixels at that refresh rate or that frame rate so you know it's it's sort of the you know how early of an adopter do you really want to be if you hop onto the bandwagon right now then sure you're one of the first to get it but you might not be able to fully utilize it until a couple of years down the line when when GPUs can actually keep up with these demands but it is kind of a you know that's that's what PC gaming is all about is pushing the envelope forward and sometimes you know having so much performance that we even you know more performance than we're ready for at times but you know it kind of comes with the territory when you're talking about PC gaming but let's move on here very exciting stuff a black shark black shark is being teased it's a blunt a brand new gaming phone from it's a sort of a sister to sister company but a smaller company from xiao xiao xiao ming i don't know how to pronounce it where Xiaomi Xiaomi subsidiary shout Xiaomi Xiaomi subsidary I hope I'm pronouncing that right black shirt it's like Razer it does it's very much like the black and black and green sort of highlighted edgy gamer gamer istic aesthetic but this company just teased their brand new gaming phone right ahead of their April 13th launch which is in three days so later this week this will be launching officially the images that they've posted not this one but the ones above it the teaser images sort of hint at a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor at the core of all this the media has been reporting that we're gonna get it get it to you by to ram at all OLED screen with the fingerprint scanner just under the screen dual rear rear cameras with flash built-in GSM arena shared the first live picture of the phone which is what you saw down below that has the sort of snap on back cover which is which is thought so this is the back of the phone we don't know what the other side of the phone looks like and most people are speculating that the front of the phone that you don't see here is actually gonna have some buttons a button array and some joysticks maybe a joystick or two four four four four efficient gaming purposes so you could actually use this as a handheld the seeming demise is that this is supposed to be I think so which which doesn't that look very much like a joy con this it looks almost exactly like a joy con this looks like heard of the Nintendo switch exactly yeah the the joy kind of a Nintendo switch which looks yeah so so I'm not sure if it's gonna be compatible with a joy con or if it's just coincidentally similar in design to one of those Nintendo controllers but at any rate this should be a one of the few hardcore mobile gaming phones on the market apart from the razor phone that we've seen as of late last year so keep your eye on that should be kind of interesting to see how it unfolds moving on here we've got an article from hexxus duck net about Intel Intel and their GPU that they're working on with Raja Kaduri actually The Motley Fool analyst us Ashraf yassuh Ashraf Vyasa sorry if I'm pronouncing that wrong he tweeted that Raja Kaduri who used to work for AMD but then quit and started working for Intel there one of their biggest competitors pretty interesting that Raja plans to redefine the company's Arctic sound GPU which is Intel's very first discrete GPU yes if you didn't hear this has been announced already we've talked about this on the show previously Intel is launching a discrete GPU but up until now it's it's just been it's been word that this this GPU is really gonna have a focus or an emphasis on video streaming but now we're learning that Raja is trying to redefine the Arctic sound GPU to be powerful enough to handle a gaming environment and workload so Intel gaming GPUs this until might happen discrete graphics carry this that's an old-school revolutionary this interface down here no that's years and years old Paul it's an Intel 740 chip this is a new accelerated graphics port interface no big news GP fake news Paul it's being introduced I've heard it's you're spreading cancer among the internet it's way faster than PCI Express you're wrong everything you just said is wrong it's got a VGA port look at that look at the PCI Express it's gonna be jporten look at the look at the PCI Express slot it's like it's like hardly hardly Martha for access the resurgence of analog analog output people like that natural color reproduction the d-sub will prevail say it's like using it it's like using it to bampi and it's got this warm face warm feel we're using a ribbon a ribbon style microphone just can't compete so guys don't get too excited right immediately this is gonna launch probably in 2020 this will be Intel's 12th gen graphics architecture that we made us not see for the next few years but it's kind of exciting that in a world currently or in a market currently that has slim pickins for GPUs that are readily affordable that we do have some more competition coming the market for for gaming GPUs so very exciting stuff there ml let's move on to our next article from WCC F Tech about the RX 560 X this is the AMD Radeon card or Polaris refresh card that was spotted recently on 3d marks database via overclocked 3d they were the ones who found it first according to the article and the actual rx 560 X was particularly found inside of an Acer laptop that was paired with horizon 520 500 which indicates that this GPU is aimed at the mobile market at least for now and features the same specs as the card it's replacing which is the RX 560 now the RX 560 as we all know it was the successor to the RX 460 so this is kind of like a rebrand of a rebrand it's like rebrand ception or refresh section whatever you want to call it so you know AMD just needs to be rinse and repeating this particular type of GPU the arts 560 X it's not uncommon for not uncommon for AMD to rebrand their GPU not uncommon two or three times yes and you know some people are gambling oh cool new GPU not really kind of sort of the RX 560 is gonna be sporting the Polaris 21 GPU and it's gonna feature slight clock speed gains and efficiency improvements over its successor the RX 500 X cards have not yet officially been announced by AMD this has just sort of been what's been discovered and looked at from other resources it's gonna be launching soon however as an annual refresh to team Reds graphic graphics lineup the new family will be the third to feature the Polaris architecture that's been used in the Radeon as I mentioned before the RX 400h 509 X series the clock speed is 73 megahertz higher than the rx 560 M the mobile 560 putting it at around twelve hundred and seventy-five megahertz it still has a thousand and twenty four cores four gigs of gddr5 on a 128-bit memory interface and that's of course with a 1200 to expand have an issue with this it's just that they they take pretty a pretty standard progression of a mobile branding for 60m updated to 560 m now it's a 560 X which seems like the the product name of a discreet graphics card it really does and it's kind of its kind of deceiving right it's not but that's not what it is yeah they should call it the 560 X M yeah there should always be an M keep a mobile in there if it's um if it's made for mobile because now people who don't really know better are gonna buy a 560 X laptop for example thinking that it has a fully desktop size or desktop model GPU in there when it's really just a mobile chip exactly and that acceptive that's very deceptive so always always check the benchmarks first before you buy something like that but that's that's all for that article and moving on we have our last piece here from ARS technica about a mysterious Google branded 4k Android TV dongle that showed up at the FCC the FCC sort of show this to us earlier it's an HDMI dongle that runs Android TV it comes with remote kind of looks like a next-gen chromecast or something like that look kind of like a fire TV stick from from Amazon kind like a competitor to that we have no information on it other than what's been revealed in the manual of this product that says it's featuring the quad core am logic s 905 X SOC and two gigs of RAM with eight gigs of storage it also says in the myth manual excuse me that it supports hardware decoding at 4k 60 frames per second from h.265 and Google's very own in-house vp9 codec there's no mention of HDR support in the manual however other manufacturers have already claimed that it does support HDR 10 which is sort of the most common HDR spec / standard that we have on hand at the moment the remote itself has a pretty conventional layout you know all the buttons that you might expect for a device like this including the Google Assistant button so you probably have some voice recognition there there might be a microphone built in the into the remote we're not sure and right now the only other google-branded specifically Google branded Android TV device that we have currently is the the we cast Nexus player the Nexus player was known for it definitely had some ups and downs it was known for being slightly underpowered and left something to be desired in the performance realm but you know you know hopefully this device is going to replace that one in terms of being the flagship Android TV sort of portable device and I think Google i/o the Google i/o event is next month which I've never been to a Google i/o I'm sure it's fun Google i/o maybe one day I want to finance it phonetically Google i/o perhaps at Google i/o we will hear more about this mysterious Android TV device I've never used Android TV and that never device and I've never used a chromecast what's the difference between an Android TV device Android TV it's its own you lied to my understanding and Android TV platform is its own UI it's its own sort of like mini operating system whereas a chromecast is more you're just sort of windowing content from your mobile device to your TV it's just sort of like a window that you're able to weigh exactly you're just relaying it whereas Android TV is sort of like okay you know maybe we're like is that what is that what the Nvidia shield uses shield is an Android based Android based but it's not Android TV right I always forget what would Android shields right it would make sense of it I still don't fully comprehend what all Android TV is yeah I don't know Paul and I are both for the most part cord cutters we don't watch too much TV and deal with many times I see we go to like the website yeah we usually just go straight there to stream from Amazon Prime Netflix or HBO go HBO go yeah or we've got the TV tuner that we good you know you can get HBO you can have an HBO subscription through Amazon - now did you know that HBO Showtime all that shit you can just have it all three Amazon now fucking geniuses fewer sites you have to visit like I have I haven't Amazon Prime to and I can I can like yeah grab two at which thing but I haven't done that either yeah twitch Prime and all that jazz I should so maybe we'll take a look at one of these googly devices on our channels relatively soon depending on if they're if they're even worth it but for now that concludes just just from chat shields can do android TV functionality okay many people saying that thanks okay chat thanks jack for confirming that so yeah very different than Google chromecast which is just sort of reliant on your your mobile devices interface how can we doing content good alright what's um let's talk about some donations here to take your questions thank you very much cell for curating the list here abstract once again thank you so much for the hundred dollar donation you are freakin boss I cannot support what you guys do you disgust me you guys only make me semi erect you know if yeah sort of a be it's not like ramrod Street it's it's not it's not just drooping down one of these days abstract I will turn your frown upside down I mean this is a veiled don't tell my wife this is a veiled compliment though obviously obviously he has a love-hate relationship with us you know we you disgust me but like he can't stop watching yeah you know yeah it's like a guilty pleasure is that's the feeling I'm getting you've got problems abstract you should probably see your therapist but definitely continue giving us come back next week yeah we'd love to have you back master Pink's $5 next time they need to send you corked beers for added entertainment just saying no terrible idea stop giving the audience I have Kirk de beers lined up for next week then you can open all of them also thanks for all you guys do you're welcome thank you mister you're welcome anytime bro bazinga X $10 here's your money will not be able to watch the whole show to fall down the steps and need to take meds and go to bed though well it sounds like a topsy-turvy and I hope events were effective I hope you slept well yeah I'll watch the show tomorrow you guys are great and I wish you a glorious day today since you're watching this tomorrow it's today for you it's the future thank you bazinga the future IRA Shh $5 with the mood to 4k monitors have you heard any rumors that DRM will allow streaming content to go to 1080p for browsers besides Internet Explorer I have not heard anything like that to be honest it's primarily a Netflix thing and I've only barely interacted with that at this point yeah so I need to look at that for for for better than 1080p streaming content right because yeah it will be a question as 4k monitors and especially 4k TVs 4k TVs are very reasonably priced now as long as you don't need OLEDs yeah I'll have a reviews $5 thank you sup guys USB 3.1 type C expansion cards worthwhile to speed up large file transfers from Galaxy X 9 or pixel - cheers guys yeah I mean I don't see why not the one thing I'd be concerned with is what the actual maximum transfer rate available is on your phone itself right because if your phone can't can't deliver those throughput speeds then no amount of connectivity or what's the read speed of the internal memory on your phone exactly yeah I would expect it to be faster than do you think it's 10 gigabits per second oh no no probably not so maybe maybe USB 3.1 genuine but I don't know about Gen 2 if that would actually make a difference that you got video I would expect it to have roughly the same read/write speeds as like a solid I say sorry SSD so maybe in the 400 to 600 megabytes per second range so I've always had very slow transfer speeds with dumping files for my phone yeah for my even for my pixel my pixel first-gen I haven't really done with too much with my second chance or something I on the same I haven't really seen much much like hands-on testing with like yeah I'm different phones and seeing what their maximum right copy off of transfer rate is true but that's kind of a niche thing I guess but yeah I mean yeah I mean El Jefe to get back to the the fundamentals the essence of your question if I will that's the nice thing about building your own computer and building say a full-size computer with some expansion slots is maybe when you built your computer you only had USB 3.0 you know paltry five gigabits per second and now you can probably drop into one of your PCI Express slots an expansion card and upgrade yourself to the new standard so yeah let's know what you find man I'd be curious to know myself Tronics gaming dollar versus sorry words sure noxus gaming $20 no comment thank you very much to noxus I appreciate that the junkman 1991 $5 what gtx 1080 or what 1080 should i get for my next build the asus 1088 gigabyte ROG Strix or the gigabyte gtx 1088 gigabyte g1 gaming you can't go wrong either way man honestly yeah you're gonna be happy with either of those cards they've been very well reviewed she's which one you think was better yeah secondly like if you already have an asus strix motherboard then getting that graphics card might make them aesthetically match a bit better and you could also use use the asus or a software to control the RGB lighting on all of them at the same time well if you see my boards I'm gonna used Oris same thing if you've got a gigabyte motherboard then maybe it might make sense to go with the gigabyte graphics card so you can sync them up but functionally really fine he's not gonna be much of a difference either way yeah Adam Alki with the 10 bucks hey Kyle so I live like right across the LM Center near your P o box so I guess you look near it I'd love to meet you and I do photography I would love to take some pictures for you and your social media that is very very kind offer Adam I typically don't need too many pictures of me taken for social media usually a phone works just fine and I feel like the more professional the photos the less genuine or authentic they come across with the you know on social media it feels a bit more staged Adam now Kyle's trying to say you're probably too good you probably wait so you're probably way too good for what I would need I kind of like to keep things more personal intimate but I do a pretty few appreciate the offer have you ever seen me roaming around the streets of good ol LM give me a give me shadow come up to me say hi maybe we'll do a photo shoot on the spot Adam follows up with another $5 donation and said Kyle notice the u2 dunes notice the YouTube dudes all these homies homies be popping in chat what's that mean oh I feel like I'm too old to understand that language now is that the YouTube noticed the YouTube dudes all these homies be poppin and Chet homies are friends it's probably a friends are probably a photography photography term pop it like poppin like like taking pictures popping in chat we're taking screenshots maybe I like popcorn where yeah I could go for some pie were enjoying a bucket of popcorn with some friends notice notice the YouTube dudes I agree yeah everything you said makes sense Thank You Adam thank you thank you very very much I like kitsune Mayo me too $10 hey quick question any advice for a really large Mouse Razer Naga is about three inches too short and causes constant cramping bonus points for side buttons the more the better oh oh it's large I already know Talyn is this it's what the Spada the RG father as a wireless asus rog mouse that is the biggest mouse that I've ever handled in the last two years at least it is huge I have average-sized hands I would say and it's it's it's way too big for me so maybe look into that it's wireless so that might not be your thing understandably so but it's worth checking out if if you just have some og man hands that can't find a good home for at the moment I don't really have any other recommendations for a large Mouse I don't I didn't I was glad that you had one yeah but it is a freakishly big mouse all right let's move on to thanks guy uh tighten heel bar H 20 bucks greetings new AG fam you know hey that's our that's our slave name WH warehouse one is still where the call center is at lots of agents love using gaming peripherals for work myself included rocking Logitech G 700 and a Corsair k70 luxe RGB keyboard try Lagunitas Waldo's Waldo's special ale haven't tried that one yet I'll keep an eye out for it the Corsair k70 luxe is a very nice keyboard that's the silver one with the white key caps very rare hard to find in the u.s. here so I guess you work at Warehouse one or at least a new egg so awesome yeah you are technically part of our old family so when I worked at warehouse one we would at lunch time we would get lunch like it's ago or box lunch or whatever and we drive up into into the cemetery ooh that's creepy I know that sounds Ken weather but you do that because the Whittier what's the Scimitar cemetery called right there damn it my blanking on the name of the

Hillcrest corpses Wow is it in Cerritos no it's in Whittier Whittier with your shittier pine forest of dead people that's am i close no yes in fact close little warm although the Ayers Rose Hills the the decomposing body storage and central mill he's fucking alright I'm gonna keep going well you like that Andrew SH wire thanks for the suggestions but I may go for a look ghost s 1mk mark to do to wanting liquid cooling Paul my PC has to be on the floor cuz I have a small desk sorry get a bigger desk there's no excuse so just get something else that's not your desk to put your computer out get an extension of their desk do it thank you very much for the five can maybe yours Andrew and good luck at rescuing your PC from the ground medieval gamer 5 Australia's what's your opinion on the new three Fran of three fan Rose Hills Rose Hill Rose Hills that's what I was gonna say next medieval gamer five Austrians what's your what's your opinion on the new three fan crackin by NZXT I have not checked it out yet maybe I'll do a video on it on the channel sometime soon that must be a 360 I'd imagine but the other NZXT coolers have been doing really good the Krakens I'm very happy with them so I would imagine the three fans is not too different but I can't really speak until I tested myself Adam L Kyra once again five dollars oh yeah I love the content and you and the channel hope you had a good time PAX East I had an amazing time PAX East it was super fun got to meet a lot of you guys actually thank you all for coming up and saying hi I know you guys can be shy sometimes did you guys get snowed on or anything um there was some snow on Friday it did snow if like a couple hours but it was really light snow so it would just melt as soon as it hit the floor it wasn't like building up or anything but it was really nice just like seeing snow in Boston was like who's so nice and magical and stuff but fortunately we were inside the convention at that point just looking out the glass panels so wasn't you cold I should I should try to go to PAX East next year I yeah we can all be on the pen used to go with new egg and but I always liked it I always thought there was a really good crowd at PAX East yeah it has that sort of nice fun young energy there's a lot like more younger people at PAX East than like Computex or CES so like gives you a Gil it's you all pumped up and stuff like yeah I'm all energized in shit I've got got oodles and oodles of energy to burn here but thank you talking about Al's Rose Hills super good thank you very much next we've got Monica oh no sorry Braden tuner Turner five two always what does your guys thought on Mozilla reality just Google it's virtual reality and Firefox will it be a success or fail we actually just covered this in the last episode of awesome hardware I think it was on my half and yeah I mean obviously if you're looking to browse the Internet in VR with a headset then that's exactly what this is tailored for and I haven't tried it out personally obviously but I think that it's the direction that we're headed people are some people are super into VR and they want to do every single thing imaginable within that ecosystem and I think you know Firefox isn't wrong for trying to or I'm sorry Mozilla isn't wrong for trying to capitalize on that I have to try it first hand to really be sure if it's if it's if it's if it's if it's good or not but I think VR and the various application surrounding it are still very much in their infancy so it might be a while until the browser experience is perfected I think browser browser ring or web browsing in VR or the headset is very difficult because there was a lot of little links and little text that you have to read and click on that can be difficult especially when the resolution for a lot of headsets even like the HTC vive pro well it's been much improved upon in the last couple of years isn't quite fine enough to what you would see on a regular desktop monitor or a laptop screen to really be super precise and allow you to click on those things very easily so I think it's going to take some time maybe several years until the browser experience is polished enough to warrant a more mainstream use but I think it's definitely a step in the right direction for that niche of user Matic Ogden for these seven dollars and forty or 7.47 New Zealand cents New Zealand bucks awesome show as always guys have a 1080i with a seven seventy six hundred K at five gigahertz is it worth going to the 8700 K no probably not no sorry I didn't catch your site live Paul I have to try harder in the future try harder mag duct Maddock try harder I am I was initially disappointed but I can see that your heart is in the right place so I forgive you and in the future you can do better I never forgive you Adam elk are five dollars Kyle you should be you should so cool so cool and amazing and do a subscriber build me being first so yeah I live like the zip code next to you there you go that's really creepy once you build Adam a computer Kyle maybe I will what a day all maybe I will you know fan a fan built computer I'm sure that would sure that would do well maybe I'll do it just just for the views that's all I care copy company tighten heel bar at each $10 cemetery skull Rose Hills Titan here bar you - you didn't need to donate $10 we discovered that but thank you wait yes thank you thank you yes sir Rose Hills you know if you know mines being amongst dead people did deceased a nice place to drive up and chill and eat your lunch it never bothered me it's very demented cuz he cuz like orbit abuse if it's mid-afternoon like you get this really nice view over like la you can see downtown and of the graveyards and all the spirits rising up to condemn you for enjoying your lunch well this sounds horrifying this look death is a part of life Kyle I understand but I want to eat next to it just it's just you're just taunting them you like look haha mmm mmm this tasty I'm sure is good it's so great to be alive yeah Wow I bet you miss bologna sandwiches dead person that Brown boy 3.75 dollars I had a rise in 1600 ever clocked to 3.7 gigahertz and I noticed I was losing frame rates any reason why that happens happens Brown boy 3.7 chances are you rise in 1600 has the feature called xfr extended frequency range which means that for one or two of the cores of threads on the processor it can actually overclock beyond even the base and boost cloth that are listed by the manufacturer like out of the box so whereas you might be overclocking all of your course to 3.7 gigahertz without doing any overclocking and just leaving it everything at the base out of the box frequency you might get xfr speeds I'm one or two cores that are say 3.8 or 3.9 gigahertz and the video games that you're playing are probably more susceptible to that higher frequency on one or two cores than they are with the slightly lower frequency across all the cores so it's definitely been my experience with Rison processors that overclocking for unseeing what you can get on all cores is useful but often it's the case they're just leaving things at stock and going with the xfr speeds for a couple cores will get you better performance while you're gaming do some testing that'd be my guess a B comparisons are the best bet and then finally we have kitsune mo once again $5 surprised you got the name right anyway the mouse has an optional wired mode I think this is the same guy who asked about the about a large Mouse recommendation oh yeah I did recommend him the asus rog Spada so there you go yeah you got a wider wired option too excuse me so that yeah you you have much less than you see that way we have a final donation before we move on to our emails ciarán Roxburgh with $10 Canadian hey guys and looking to build a high tier PC this summer only downfall a $1300 1080 TI should I wait for a price drop no rush other than my fingers melting from the heats of my gaming laptop I would wait yeah 1080p is should be 500 bucks less than that yeah and it's a it's a reasonable guess that we might see GPU prices drop in the next couple months yeah so yeah if if you're okay as is then it's worth your while to wait a little bit look for a used deal online - that might help you out okay okay last but not least um this is the last message don't donate anymore anyone we're way over time Adam I'll hire for the $5 look for my message on insta and Twitter we can figure this out and I was going to send something to your appeal box I just want to see feel free to send anything you'd like to either of RPO boxes we have I have mine in the video description of any of my youtube videos Paul you have yours somewhere listed it's also in descriptions on his descriptions as well and we may potentially unbox it on a future episode of awesome hardware and then we do have some Johnson shadows to call out before we close out things I've got a few I've got a Johnson shout out to the Gordon family from New York a there's two different first names so I'm going to say the Gordon's the gardens from New York got the black tri-blend shirt
