because I didn't do that it's so weird so sells drunk is so drunk I seriously did not touched it how did you do okay use paste in there well the the text was gone the the link itself I see so cells cell I see your cursor I see you I see you you caught caught Redford already right there what are you doing with our links buddy I'm gonna tweet out hey everyone welcome to Calais a bustling hardware hey welcome this is episode 167 side beef he missed side a it's on Paul's channel you can check the link in my description and go to youtube me Paul sweet is hardware no stop doing things me Kyle used my laptop last week I had him do anything cuz he logged into all of his accounts all I can do is tweet from him just be yourself Paul I'm trying to be me a cell said I don't know it's it's posting shit in other places this is weird what's it Google Google has got a mind of its own drunk shit alright so welcome to shit on awesome hardware occasionally we drink beer and use foul language right yeah if you're sensitive of that then you should we just transition us we transition into my have so seamlessly forgot we have to like start over and yes so yes don't language keep on top beer hey buy stuff from our stores oh yeah stores my store is a bit with tech slash store or you can just go to a bit with no tech but that's easier I've got things there and and and by the way anyone who purchase something on paul's half will get a johnson shout out during the after party so stay tuned for that also anyone who donated will read your messages soon and then so yeah desk mats mouse pads mugs pint glasses i'll run their shirts go to pulse store to paul's harbor net paulistão worried that there would you be everything to be everything sure it's been a sock he's also got lots of things saying a lot of the same things that I do but his design but it's got my logo he's got his logo his designs and he's got his own Paul flair to it suck them all we're gonna yell John's - you really loudly like look super loudly like no one's here at the office anymore so we can be as loud as we want will top the charts for you and then is there anything else we need to say here any more beer I don't think so you have the beer I think you need more beer - you're in charge of everything for this round oh no I can't tweet what can't just log out as me like why do you stay logged in in fact I feel uncomfortable that you're chosen they lock me logged in on your laptop it's a little disconcerting Paul that I have been logged into this computer your house last week my password isn't saved too much effort no I sign alright so you keep keep your passwords on station I should safe and dandy I can add the after party link to my video description up there you go all right so we've got some news to talk about why don't we dive right into it first off the core I nine ninety nine hundred K has officially hit a world record blasting seven point six gigahertz by the one and only der Bauer of course this is an article from hexxus Thank You hexxus that's not her Bauer by the way then display v' slave slave split pores slave pores I love the caption straightforward no bullshit so on October 12th Intel was hosting their fall desktop launch event featuring the 9900 Kade a bunch of EXO sears extreme overclockers we're trying to break a bunch of world records including mr. devourer roman he's good guy he's very very knowledgeable about this stuff and he was able to hit seven hundred and seven thousand six hundred and thirteen megahertz on all course with some liquid helium that's a dim expanders I've seen this whoa that looks like a dim dot too like a dim got to type thing before your RAM wait what's the point of that so you can oh maybe so on a dual what I don't understand how that works so if you only had city okay no of course not both you're reporting on it wait so he's got oh okay so but it's basically an expander so okay so he can fit four dimm slots or four dims into a to dim slot board all right god I didn't know that existed that's kind cool I have to grab one of those um so anyway 7.6 gigahertz is absolutely insane but when you're dealing with something like liquid helium it definitely becomes more possible um he used the asus rog Maximus 11 Jean Z 390 motherboard with eight gigs single channel single channel DVR for memory and whoa there's a lot of a lot of ln2 smoke going on there there were other xoc years like slave and forget the other guys there's a bunch of other people they broke like 16 benchmark records combined I believe it's titled liquid helium Kyle oh sorry this this is the Healey sorry helium Healy whatever helium nitrogen they're basically the same I'm just I'm just trying to trigger slightly different elements my goal look right now is to just trigger everyone and property mainly all the all the chemists in the house no ok so correction it is liquid helium that he is using thank you Paul so there were 15 global first place records in the eight core category achieved obviously this is the the highest clocking 8 core CPU we've seen in a while and wow that guy looks was that an overclocker hmm look like my grandpa I was just interesting to see him like overclocking stuff and then there's also been a new world record in PC mark 10 against all other processor categories so Wow looks like your Bower is getting a hand with this helium he's got he's got help I feel like all those guys broke that world record that had a lots of people man in the rod yeah you know all their hands on Romy's right so congratulations and well job well done mr. Roman thanks for pushing the limits of this hardware I imagine that everyone in this picture as they're like just talking amongst themselves and discussing things have hi hi chipmunk voices because of like just Oh although all the helium helium liquid in hey Liam inhaling in helium inhaling there's a deadly helium yeah what I would expect really helium so that's that's cool yeah mm points it's literally hey okay cool absolutely chilly so cool moving on though we've got this this issue that the tech power up has has brought to our attention here about SLI and gsync causing framerate issues this is interesting there were some users that noticed performance issues on their SLI systems recently and skip one no exes oh wait this is the gpu-z story you're not talking about that no this is Google being a dick okay I'm sorry yeah they're men okay so um techpowerup found that okay so so there are some people saying hey my SLI system is performing under par it's not it's not enough and people found that there seems to be a problem when you have SLI and gsync enabled simultaneously it actually tanks your performance in certain titles some more than others extreme tech actually confirmed the framerate drops when both technologies are enabled and the issue seems related to timing to timing according to the data but there's really no clear solution yet maybe this could be patched with a driver update who knows no official word from Nvidia yet but some titles like I said are affected more than others in The Witcher 3 you go from 113 frames per second down to 75 frames per second with you know SLI and gsync enabled versus not or I should say SLI it's probably SLI with g-sync versus SLI without J sync is right so 113 to 98 not terrible definitely significant but maybe you wouldn't notice it necessarily but then rising storm 2 for example 206 frames per second geez down to 75 horrible that that's that's like that's crazy that's less than half that's insane yeah so the test setup included two gtx 1080s and an acer XB 280 h HK which supports 4k at 60 Hertz made it really easy to tell any any kind of discrepancies here between the two configurations inconsistent behavior was found between the games so in Deus Ex mankind divided the gap appeared only in DirectX 11 mode in Far Cry 5 the penalty size actually increased as the framerate rise rise rise had risen got bigger got bigger um so in hitman and hit mans results were even more confusing so it's it's really kind of hard to say or predict how this weird phenomenon is gonna affect your your game because it depends on the game but it is a problem and there's no solution right now and Nvidia said nothing apparently the issue seems isolated to anything before Turing so Turing doesn't seem to have an issue with this which is why their test system was using 1080 so now it's just another underhanded sneaky technique for Nvidia from Nvidia to try to get people to buy the latest generation of graphics cards and I'll take the goes right along with them working the performance of all the cards with updated drivers it's rampant these days this is true apparently this isn't really a new issue though it's not true ok [Laughter] I'm sure that's thus far it is now that you said it but now some people some people exited the video break right after I said that I believe that good job so Tom's Hardware has already there's actually forum post on Tom's Hardware dating back to 2016 about a year and a half to two years ago regarding this issue so apparently this isn't something super recent people of experiencing this for a while now it's just now being brought to attention on a bigger scale and hopefully now that it has Nvidia will do something about it because that's it's no good you know you usually you usually uh SLI and gsync are technologies that are reserved for like people who are willing to pay out the ass right and then want the create the greatest experience possible and it's kind of ironic that those are the technologies that are actually hurting performance in certain scenarios so hopefully if I get so ironed out the more you know there you go maybe maybe it's also sign that you can just stick with a single card yeah I mean why am i single talking about sli related and people are like oh I'm considering SLI this versus to single this we're usually like yeah I get the single card cuz stuff like this like when I when I like build crazy custom water-cooled systems I only do SLI because it looks more badass yeah having two cards in there it's purely visual thing really visual it's just like I've got the bigger CAC but you know what even if the cock doesn't perform as well as the smaller cock it still looks more impressive to the naked eye pun intended so yeah I guess that's the light sort of the same way moving on here ASIS and there's e3 90 motherboards have been recently found to push software into your windows installations this was discovered by techpowerup once again during their testing they notice that there's covered bases as well and and and poly oh yeah thank you by the way for sharing these articles with me I did not have much time to this one I think you found yourself oh did I maybe okay but but I forgot to thank you for for scouting some of the other articles oh yes no problem I'm just saying I also experienced this oh did you because I used one of these ASUS motherboards and I saw this but I tweeted about this with that with the last generation one of the other mm ASUS motherboards have popped up okay but yeah basically clean fresh Windows installation with nothing else going on you got an asus motherboard you plug it into Windows and you get this pop-up that says issues armor and creat driver auto update manager would you like to download and install the asus armory crank driver manager asus armor and create as a service helps you manage and download the latest driver updates yeah it's it's it's asus bloatware that like you know i don't know some people might find it useful to have any handy in the background apparently there is an actual BIOS setting there's a BIOS setting that you can change right will make that not pop up this this correlates to a piece of script that will will actually install certain files into your system thirty-two folder without your permission so it's it's the months you don't even need to connect to the internet it's like nope the motherboard does it yes that's garbage yeah so it's it's kind of sketchy I feel like you know the whether or not this asus Armory software program is good or bad is the is like an irrelevant question and all this it's more so how it's being rolled out to users and the fact that this setting in the UEFI which is also kind of obscure and kind of hard to find it's like within the tools category the fact that's that it's enabled by default I think is a bit controversial give users the option and disable initially and maybe have something on the home page or on the home screen of the desktop that says hey if you want this option you can enable it in the UEFI here's how to do it they could have taken a much better approach to this even if the software whether the software is good or bad it's just a matter of how they've delivered it to users kind of slipped it under their noses and the fact that this setting that's automatically enabled when you buy the board is installing files to your your system32 folder without any sort of user interference without any sort of permissions because it overrides all the administrative rights and permissions that you know you just it's by the time you install this motherboard and boot it up for the very first time all these files are installed and it's tapping into your registry and all that so it's a little bit invasive and this this type of behavior is pretty is not uncommon on OAM builds and like laptops for example we've seen this as a prime example is like I think lenovo like super fish and shit like that now obviously that was a really bad piece of bloatware that was it was it was a rootkit and stuff like that but the fact of the matter is when you're building your own PC I think there's more of an expectation of having greater control over what's on your system right that's kind of part of the reason why we do it ourselves sometimes so I feel like it's I don't think Asus meant any harm by this I think they're just trying to roll out software that they genuinely think users can benefit from Asus develops companion software that goes with their hardware they're much boards and their graphics cards and they put a lot of work into it I think some people see it as helpful and useful other people see it as something that's gonna use up system resources and pop up and prompt you to do an update when you had no interest in doing anything like that so for some people yeah maybe it's useful but I think Asus approached this with the idea that we need to get this software that we invest our time developing rolled out to more users now let's create this way that it'll just automatically get installed just like Windows you know just like Windows Update or something like that right and I don't know personally I don't like it at all yeah definitely not absolutely not I don't mind if they leave it disabled on boot and by default that's fine but don't enable certain permissions to install files to my system 32 folder on my very first boot I don't like that at all and also there's issues with cyber security here because if there can be any sort of vulnerabilities but that can be exploited there is little way to fix it but with BIOS updates from Asus themselves so there's there's a whole security issue here to that again you're being unbeknownst to you or you're being signed up for from the get-go so yeah it seems pretty innocuous on on Asus as part they just need I think their their rollout plan here needs some tweaking some serious tweaking needs a sixth week and and more transparency more transparency for the user exactly what you're signing up for when you boot up an asus motherboard so yeah i'll continue to be a supporter of asus boards i just hope that they learn from this little full finding and we can use if you're looking for user feedback on this we don't like it we don't like it don't do it you've heard it stop it you heard it first here well second here first it take the power out them and then us all right moving on i'm trying to find when i tweeted about because i tweeted about it was one other last boards hmm and it was a while back though so XIII 70 maybe I maybe it might even have been an AMD board I can't find it like this here oh you posted a picture look guys there's here oh oh just bring him to the office you having to bring him here yeah I mean how would he be if he if you brought him here into like this a place even but you were here he'd be okay he'd be fine no he's very chill oh yeah the only thing he gets upset by is being separated like I don't like being by himself things I do yeah so yeah maybe we'll have a bringer bring your dog to work day here here it here at my office yeah I'm fine all right let's move on we've got one more article to talk about before pip my PC Samsung has filed a patent on full display fingerprint sensors for notch less bezel free next Galaxy next-gen Galaxy phones um this is from hot hardware thanks how high rate the patent describes technology for embedding a fingerprint sensor into the entire display meaning that you could just put your thumb anywhere on the display on the screen and there will unlock or or give you you know authorization for whatever apps that utilize this function that's a good idea we're just pretty cool I mean that that would remove essentially remove the need for having a pesky sensor on the back earphone put your thumb here which is crazy how quickly things are advancing here because your thumb here or her or here or here that's gonna be the key note that's big yeah could put your thumb or you pull your phone out of your pocket and it's upside-down by accident you can put your thumb sure so I think it's pretty cool it's crazy how fast things are advancing you know at first the fingerprint sensors were at the bottom of your phone on the front of your phone and there's I got it sold news is not organized put on the back put on the center back of your phone oh my god is amazing and then like two three you're like two years later it seems like that's old shit just make it anywhere on the screen and it seems like a little thing but it's not because when you're unlocking your phone 50 times a day convenience in that sense the user experience really really goes a long way so they've created a patent they made a patent for this and it's gonna change everything this is also an alternative to facial recognition which I'm not a huge fan of actually not a fan of at all I would never enable that feature I saw Austin tweeting that like his facial recognition on his phone just stopped working yeah I would at least never have it as a screwed you're just like no your phone doesn't recognize you anymore I'd never have it even as a or at least as a exclusive option like if I did enable it who knows maybe I'll enable it one day but I would never have it as the soul the soul authenticators like there should be a backup what happens if you're like in the pitch-black dark you need to unlock your phone oh shit like that anyway there's this whole mess of issues beside besides that but anyway it's kind of cool you can use your phone you can use your thumb anywhere to pull this off Samsung plans to embed the sensor the fingerprint sensor into the actual display layer and this would be powered by a second lower processor so very very low it wouldn't drain battery much the display would essentially go temporarily into into high brightness mode with three different scans taking place the main concern here is how long it'll take to register a full scan because according to the patent it'll take 60 to 90 milliseconds for all three scans but the processor and it there is what does ACS grid driver auto update manager and how is it suddenly appearing with this pop up on a completely clean Windows 10 installation yeah yeah this is the this is a predecessor to the armory crate do you know what platform this was can you tell I don't use this picture bring up and conjure up any memories I'm yes I'm curious if it's on building there might have been one of the rise in motherboards okay so this is something they're rolling out on both yeah both sides but they did have an existed and never mind me gonna but see that doesn't matter because even if you never remember me like according to the article that I was reading today if you reboot it resets all that shit and so everything starts all over so even if you were to delete it from your system it thee since it's this code this script because in the UAF I will just boot all over again and so the only ways I've really get rid of it is to disable it within the UEFI which most user is seeing a pop-up like this on a fresh clean install they're like I think oh I have to it's just some setting of the you have to disable so it's it's very not transparent right shut up about the htpc look at how long the hood paul had to scroll for years just to get to his last HTTP see video which he still hasn't done the follow up to this one day one day we will have justice oh my god it's been well over here part one delete the part anyway doesn't exist so this is cool anyway you know the processor that handles this brightness adjustment for the fingerprint scanner would need 200 to 300 milliseconds in between each one each of these brightness scans to adjust the brightness totaling 700 milliseconds okay 700 milliseconds is a long time to wait but hopefully Samson can pull this off will most likely see this technology introduced into the next Galaxy phone which would be what Samsung Galaxy S 10 I don't know also Samsung will probably continue their quest for a fully bezel free phone which which means no not their galaxy nya and their Galaxy Note 9 or whatever did not have notches neither of them had notches which I'm a huge fan of just a straight black bar across I'd rather take like a just a slim top bar black bar at the top which is why if I upgrade to a pixel 3 I am still once again going to with a non XL model because I just despise the knotch that much I'm not a very opinionated person I don't have many opinions which is sometimes like shitty but I have really strong opinions about the knotch and I can't I can't stand it I can't I can't do it man I can't do it I don't know I'm talking about not the stare drop the tear what is that is that like a mini notch where it's Jess instead of one a notch it's just one little bloop for the feel like a camera lens I feel like that's even worse what about that's even worse what about a circle we're not should be but like actually separated from the edge it's just a circle with the lens in it why not just make do you do you see do you see how small cameras are front-facing cameras are on phones like just make the bezel three millimeters who's gonna be like then it's kind of yeah that's Camelback and Marquez and all that all all the phone reviewers would be like I got a bezel no I can't even look at this phone it's got a bezel it's disgusting most of my face the bezel bezel the three millimeter bezel will at least be a lot less noticeable than the teardrop but it looks like a big piece of shits on your screen all the time and that's it just gets me so fired up you know and it's only a thing because Apple contention it's only a thing because Apple kicked it off and now it's like everyone needs a notch because the iPhone acts as an I don't I don't like the like how many manufacturers jump on and and copy Apple with stuff like the like ditching the headphone jack like that that irritates me yeah right like like that's like removing feature because when Apple does something even when that something is removing a feature it's suddenly trendy that's a trend now oh it's trendy to remove a feature that users have grown to be accustomed to and love over the years and actually utilize Apple did it so it's not it's not bad it's good anything Apple does is good it's that mentality that I can't stand because then you're right it trickles down to everyone else the competitors who we rely on to be different than Apple are now copying the thing that we you know the company that we we're not necessarily our first pick so I don't know that's the last story I have let's move on to pin my PC I'm a PC you guys have tweeted in pictures of your dilapidated outdated and just all-around scandalous rigs we do yeah there's nothing I know oh maybe you should just next time I come over your place I'll bring that USB Drive oh really quick yo that's that's my that's my father-in-law god it's the father-in-law Brad really quick he texted me earlier today I didn't get back to him he said on a scale of 1 to 10 really quick how much does Paul loved his tesla powerwall cuz i think he might be considering getting one so since he's here in josh does i love it how much does you love the power of all I'm wondering 1 to 10 I'm thoroughly happy with my decision thus far they're really happy that's pretty good my power bills and this is another promised video that I am still working on and I will produce because I want I want to have one of a kind of a wholesome look at the entire process from signing up to it to getting it installed to like afterwards I'm just well I need more data I need more sure more time more more electric bills to come in but yeah are you planning to make a benchmark video of your pet deer of your power wall I think that would be super cool like you can't you can't really benchmark it because it's just there and it just runs and does its thing it's it's affected by how much power you use it's affected by how much sunlight there is and whether there's any cloud cover sure so it'd be a very dynamic yeah so that's you can't exactly do that for some reason a bunch of people keep seeing like like when we're doing the overclocking competition that like can you plug into your power wall to like give more power to the answer to computer and like nothing limitless 120 volts coming into all my plugs right yes that doesn't affect that and even if it did it would just break the computer can't handle the heat I mean is switching power supplies it could probably handle up to 220 bit Hey point being thoroughly impressed oh yeah I've been very happy that I'm saving probably 150 bucks a month plus so far and is that like in the summer time or is that just in general it has like three months which is all the time I've had to look at it so far right but yeah a very very very nice drop and you know I'm pretty confident at this point that it'll probably pay for itself within about 10 years yeah give or take and everything in there's like it has at least a 10-year warranty and a lot of this stuff is fifteen or twenty years I think you know I have an interesting question really quick sir about sir but I digress sorry Jay can you you can I would assume that you could move your power wall to a different house if you were to ever move in the next 10 years you can take it with you or is it permanently tied once it's installed you you could probably I mean I don't know how practical that would be I think I'm not I wouldn't I wouldn't I'm not intending to do that myself oh yeah I'm just pathetic like a house and yeah I mean they they make up they have a bracket they attach the bracket at the wall and then they mount it to that so it could be removed from that so I mean sure that's possible but I wonder if it also ups the resale value of your house at all I would hope it does but I don't know I mean that's quite an investment that you have to come and have them do a read every assessment of my own value for that okay thanks for shedding light on that yeah all right let's move on to pin my PC I started with a Yi Joe sorry if Lyle was here he'd be able to pronounce your name flawlessly the link you put didn't work sad to go straight to his Oh his you too or his Twitter page Twitter has a picture of lightning that's creepy music computer all right there that's what you yes yeah so um oh yeah yeah the leak does not work maybe he deleted his tweet and is not no longer no longer wants to be featured this is here yeah that's true that's weird I don't know maybe I fucked up on copying the link or whatever Oh cells doing stuff on an AMD x47 60 K that's an old older AMD processor using one term at WD hard drive and a 125 gig a data SSD kingston hyper fury 2 by 4 gig ram kit and an r7 370 4 gig graphics card r7 370 what oh wow what is it 3 what 370 not 100% sure I just remember it being made by sapphire and being 4 gigs yeah I don't think that's exactly maybe if maybe if RX 473 and r7 now why it's appears to be on a bed which is a little weird and it also appears to be sitting on top of some earbuds ok those are your buds yeah those earbuds are gonna improve airflow for sure we have some just about the most horrible cable management that you could possibly have exacerbated by the fact that it's probably a pretty budget power supply with no aesthetic consideration when it comes to the cables at all so much dust to that power supply looks gray very dusty memory kit well functional is completely in contrast than any other anything remotely resembling a color scheme in the case least of his worries though it's ketchup mustard everywhere there's a I mean CPU heatsink fans are there generally functional you have it this direction but I still always feel like it's awkward I would want to rotate where where do you live coz if you live I don't care where you live people should be earning this looks like it's a Sarlacc pit or something that shipped me your computer Alf I'll pimp it out for you yeah seriously there's also these two extra fans here next to the harddrive cages which they just look loud those look loud they just look I can see the noise I can see how all right so ye ye you you've got a functional computer congratulations when it comes to aesthetics I don't think there's anything that we can tell you it's a complete loss you should probably upgrade your platform anyway before work on the aesthetics you're a lost cause you've officially broken pollen count yeah x28 ASUS Maximus 5 formula intel i7 3770k nice I saw that I saw three seven seven zero K on a license plate the other day we did it you can check it out true story EVGA gtx 780 super clock corsair dominator plats two by eight big sticks at 1600 and looks like we've got a Corsair obsidian 550d he likes the d ladies and gentlemen um alright so for starters you have a really nice motherboard a very pretty nice graphics card and a stuck Intel CPU cool stock CPU cooler mr Sasson what are you thinking on that city 3770k these are Dominator platinum memories memory likes the kids right that's a that's an expensive high-end memory kit you pay a lot of extra money for that over comparable you do are they um often times it doesn't matter usually it would be the the two red slots here that the memory would go on usually asus has you pop it at the outer slots first but often it doesn't really matter as long as they're in every other slot it'll still be dual channels bothers me yeah I agree I would position them in the outer slots to make room for the epic upgraded CPU cooler that you install there you go yep beyond that I mean you got all black cables things are looking to look a little a little loose a little loose and sloppy yeah I mean it's not horrible by any stretch especially compared to the last video last so that's true anything that's good compared to that but anything you can do to take these little just loose cables that are that are kind of lazily going to their their sources and just cinch them down time tie them down wrangle them a little bit but not a say it's mainly that CPU cooler like like swaps that out CPU cooler and like tidy up cable management and if you wanted to if you want to spend the money like black and red extensions sure would do wonders for this build yeah that would look as nice as these course area X cables are if you do go that far then I would also recommend D labeling your power supply cuz your gold accents here from the eggs and 50 aren't doing me any favors yeah PSU delete thank you for your submission though thanks Brad and next up is Montes with a dark based Pro 900 mm case it's red ripper 1915 MX the tech 360 TR for the EVGA gtx 980ti for the win 3 30 40 50 skill flare X memory 3200 Castle ad 14 systems a blue zenith extreme X 399 what a beast alright so great specs here's user deal I am slightly concerned about your cooler then cuz it's stretched no because the original version of the inner max liquid tech is prone to failure oh so much so that they recall they made a successor to it if you look at the Amazon reviews for example they're they're not so hot there's there's a liquid tech tr4 and tr4 - - right right here and if they updated so and I bring this up because it was enough that people were like hey there's t really wrong they had to come out with an updated new version of it so that's just something I'd point out and granted when it comes to failure rates with with hardware's you could be talking about just a slightly higher failure rate than normal which is enough for them to do something about it yours could be fine but it's just something I would I would be aware of so what was the main issue was the pump was dying I think it might have been the pump honestly I don't recall specifically I okay yeah I just I just know the tr4 - was created to replace it yeah so yeah but beyond that beyond that let's let's get back to to aesthetics here alright so we have a a Noctua situation went back to a fans note - is always so torn about because they're really good fans so we're in no position to tell you to replace them but they Oakley as hell but they're not pretty but they ugly they don't match oh they have there's no excuse nowadays they have black beautiful black fans they don't have black versions of their they have the the NFF and ff12 x 25s though they have comparable fans that are killer performer is better than most you can find on the market that are black in color neutral and don't look like someone vomited a brownie there's just crow max series they have industrial series fans that aren't this color consider that would look a lot prettier I'm imagining these are just n FF twelves their newest newest fans they have not created an other colors up so if that's what you're using here then you can't get better than that at this point so but if these are the older versions then yes you couldn't swap them out for the I believe either the chrome acts or the industrial versions at least get gray and black are all black and that would look a lot prettier and I would I find it interesting that you have a mostly pushed configuration on the radiator with a single pull man he's probably trying to direct more air flow to his GPU that could be which may help a bit it's okay does it it stands out a little bit to me but I don't I don't hate it or anything right why does his that top drive look like it's in a box but I'm not yeah I think that's just the oh no the this case has you have you work with the 900 deep there the not 989 yeah it is the 913 dark breathe 3900 900 right so it's got these cages that mount to this back to the back plate and they kind of completely surround the drive but they have a barcode on the front of every cage I think it's just open right here and that's the front of the drive Oh hard drives often have barcodes on them for enterprise environments so you can you can scan the barcode I see it just doesn't look like a the front of a drive yeah I think it's just a weird okay fair enough yeah beyond that um I don't know there's a little bit of a bunch up of cables down at the bottom that could could look prettier too but everything else is pretty clean and tidy I don't know if this little loop of cable clean that net up rotate the fan make it come up at the top there sleeve cables PSU sticker delete you're good to go yeah solid advice okay next up Brent brand Zeon build us a Nova X 50 675 overclocked to 4.5 yards hmm this is P 60 X 58 LGA 1366 motherboard 12 gigs of g.skill ddr3 1600 megahertz ram to 2 gigs per dim by 6 and triple channel configuration gigabyte geforce gtx 960 for Meg graphics card acquiring h5 cooler WD 250 gig hard drive 3 terabyte hard drives see sonic power supply glue Master mb 5 case master box el master box yeah and a black magic mini recorder you capture card in there okay so first thing I'll say is that you're the blue heatsinks on your motherboard clash with the red dims on your heat spreaders or the red heat spreaders and your dims I think it's probably easier to spray-paint the the blue accents on your motherboard red then it would be to spray-paint your dims blue I disagree really well the memory he could just pull the memory out and and do a little mod on it the for the motherboard you'd have to pull them on the whole motherboard out of there that's it sure yeah but you have only have one motherboard to deal with instead of six dims all right well either way either way either paint all your memory blue to match the heat spread the heatsink there pick your poison paint your heatsink red to match your memory dims sure and probably alright so to further your point painting this red would also match some of the ports and stuff on the motherboard elsewhere true so maybe rapidly holy a little bit a little bit cleaner overall yeah although then you have like a blue PCI Express slot so you can spray pin that to what it's doable I appreciate the multiple views of this system yeah I like that very very clean cable management when it comes to like the thing that we typically talk about the most here looks like he's got a custom super clean like panel like this is the least this is the least irritating I've ever seen ketchup and mustard 24 pin cable B right oh yeah somehow I realize oh it's routed around so that you can't even really see the the sleeve goes really out of the cables here oh yeah so so well done there yeah other than that it really it's just a bit of colour mismatching going on yeah I can excrete not easy to to to modify so you know feel free to completely ignore us there I would pull this little blue cap off of your sli bridge on your graphics - I also don't think he would necessarily need to remove his motherboard from the case to spray-paint it as long as he did a good job covering it up with like newspaper and stuff he could probably just spray pan I would remove that heatsink entirely oh the heatsink for sure yes the CPU cooler yes but I just mentally yeah yeah no I mean remove the oh the actual heatsink the heatsink from the motherboard okay separate so you can yeah shoot it from if the CPU cooler cut out for that case is large enough you might not need to remove the motherboard entirely if there's screws behind the motherboard terrassa heatsink okay let's move on uh see there's an in metal jaw yeah we haven't honorable mention here metal jaw I thought this is pretty cool little setup here he's dual setup that they're both wall-mounted and this is a complete custom sort of pegboard type of thing these are wooden slabs and he's provided the spec lists on each of the monitors I didn't realize those were monitors at first I thought those are just black backgrounds that he had photoshopped in there but those are monitor he's got an old Troy on the left and a 16 by 9 on the right it seems and the one on the left is a little bit more high-end 6700 K with a gtx 980ti the other one is a core i5 4570 with the gtx 770 seems to be an asus fan with his motherboard choice on the left and yeah in his graphics card on the right so this is a pretty sweet setup I like the fact that you've got two TSA's pretty cool systems side-by-side which would be great for like laning and stuff also for the Horde or the Horde yes the Horde the Horde - the little emblem there will shield and the cable management is really clean I think the cable management really does it for me here it gives me a whole big old stiffy yeah you know you've taken extra love and care with the system and it looks fan freakin tastic so it's also a great way the fact that like the power supply on the system on the left is sitting right here with a cable coming into it and all the other cables coming out that side yeah can't even see anything right so a lot of stuff is being passed behind this board here yep so cool and it looks the board looks pretty close to the wall - doesn't look anything like that yeah that thick so job well done job well freakin done and that concludes my half of the Shaw so I thank you very much for tuning in don't go anywhere that we've got awesome know you got a awesome hardware after party after party about to begin pulsing to play some overwatch we're gonna read off donations and she had some Johnston's to y'all and just have some fun so so that's linked in the description if you missed my half of the show it's also linked down there thank you guys for watching hit that thumbs up button thumbs up we back next week over time stairs I don't hate you if you times leave loves the time stamp maker yes alright we'll be right back guys see you soon I'm
