2017-01-09
fit wits coverage of CES 2017 is brought to you by fractal design MSI and cable mod check out the links in the description below or never game above sixty Hertz again alright guys we are now at the EVGA booth checking out their new case the D g7 now if you guys are familiar with the DG eight it was about thirty times larger than this case and maybe a little appeal to a little bit more of a niche market this is a bit more of your standard tower it's a mid tower if it's a full ATX motherboard and it's got some pretty cool features on so why don't we go ahead and check it out first off you've got this really nice sleek front panel which looks very minimalistic and stuff you do get a side panel that is made of full tempered glass that is tinted also so I bear that in mind if you're putting LEDs in here they will be muted just a tad but it does have a really nice stealthy look you can see there's a power supply shroud at the bottom now you can see here we've got the EVGA cutouts I was talking to Jacob he's not sure if that's like a hundred percent final and there are certain things in here that they might change with a final revision that's going to be brought to market so take everything here with a slight grain of salt looks like there's actually some some holes here for what I would imagine our SSD trays maybe you could see some like SSD action right here on top of the power supply shot it looks like there's a cutout here for some cables from your graphics card they said that these are going to be grommeted so that's a really good sign I was about I was about to say like whoa no no grommets because we are looking at about anywhere from 100 to 150 dollars for this case so that's good if the are going to be including rubber grommets at that price point let me go ahead and turn the case on its side here so we can take a look at radiator support this will open up a little bit more lighting for you guys to see what's going on here so at the top you get looks like a 240 at least a 240 might even be able to do a 360 up there but they again they're still working with a final version this is just a prototype and we've also got what looks to be a 240 at the front of the case there's plenty of space here for a thicker radiator if you do want to do some serious liquid cooling that is good to see and on the final note we were kind of having a controversial debate on this there's gonna be a DG 7 or at least one of the models that they have here has a big DG 7 piece of branding on the front of the the side panel there and they were kind of debating like whether or not you guys would find that interesting or cool or distracting or ugly so let me know in the comments down below what you think of that and of this case overall let's go ahead and see what else they got here Z 270 motherboards omnomnom so we got three three models here Z 270 Stinger I mean the ITX cute very very similar to the z170 except it's got a few tricks up its sleeve of course we're actually got - we got a type-c connector on the back there which is Gen 2 that's nice to see also this kind of has the triple-threat design that I was talking about earlier and one of the other CEOs videos where for a mini ITX board it's got the color neutral theme going on where you can pretty much match it with any other color to your heart's content you've also got m2 on the back now that's one thing that was lacking from the the last generation of stinger boards was a no-no MDOT - unfortunately but now you can see we've got one an nvme slot right there on the back of the board and thirdly you've got Wi-Fi so it's built-in Wi-Fi module unit right there allowing you to kind of take this anywhere you want and pretty much connect to any network so to speak that that you would trust of course but a pretty nice little board in a $199 package you guys let me know what you think of that price point moving on we have the Z 274 the win K you can see here we've got a very nice all-black aesthetic design very similar to the stinger and actually Jacob from EVGA said there's not gonna be any RGB LEDs on these boards which some of you will hate and others will of you will surely rejoice with glee because after after seeing what what CES so far this year has to offer I say 90% of the stuff I've covered contains RGB lighting and it's kind of refreshing honestly to see just something that's super blacked out and and the fact that they've taken and saved whatever money on RGB lighting and implemented it in other areas is also nice to see I also really like the fact that they've got two of the USB 3.0 headers that are both right angle just peeking out at the bottom there bottom right corner of the motherboard and last but not least we have the z2 70 classified K which if you guys are familiar with EVGA you know classified represents their cream-of-the-crop products pretty much no stone left unturned here so he's got pretty much full feature sets you've got of course USB 3.1 gen2 type-c on the back there and pretty much just a full-featured board again g2 70 it's going to be excellent for overclocking out of all the boards here you probably get the highest frequencies on the classified K for sure what is this EVGA has a iOS now Jesus they actually have a lot of them too this is pretty sweet so I guess we'll start off over here and work our way down this is a pretty much a 240 millimeter AIO and it looks pretty standard I mean you've got some RGB LEDs of course on the front with beautiful EVGA branding I actually really do like the water blocks here it gets sort of sort of that braided material on the tubing itself which is also kind of nice to see super flexible looks very durable as well a new fan design check that out I actually like the blade design and as far as the fins go and if you look at the the frame itself how kind of like dips around the edges that's actually supposed to reduce some of the fan noise so does kind of add like a nice aesthetic to it but it is functional as well and of course this is just standard closed closed loop but for those of you who are looking to maybe expand your selection in your chassis you've also got the QR radiators QR stands for quick release you can see here you've got actually got some quick quick release latches here so you could expand this you could actually connect it to a GPU like the EVGA huger qrg hybrid that we have over here it's actually they've worked hard with ACE tech to actually implement a water block inside of that card is that a gtx 1070 or 1080 as the 1080 right there so definitely you're probably need some decent cooling there and if you wanted to actually just hook that up with with one of these radiators for your CPU you could have just one all-inclusive loop sometimes you can get kind of messy if you have separate radiators and separate loops going on for your CPU and your GPU trying to find a place to mount all that with tubes crossing over and stuff so this kind of creates like a really nice elegant seamless solution for for water cooling enthusiasts all right guys that is gonna wrap it up for the EVGA booth full dark in here thank you that's gonna wrap it up for the EVGA booth here at CES 2017 thank you all so much for tuning in I'd like to give a huge shout out to my sponsors fractal design MSI and cable mod guys be sure to check out their stuff in the description below and I'll see you all in the next video peace
