my coverage of Computex 2017 is brought to you by be quiet cable mod verda gear and EVGA go ahead and check out the links below for more info we were at the a2 suits now checking out all the cool fun stuff they've got on display and I was walking by here with the good ol Gary and awesome representatives here at a juice and he showed me this first I like show me the best thing you have and he brought me to this X 399 motherboard yes that's right X 399 you can take a look at quite a few X 299 boards on the Intel side this year at Computex so far but this is the first X 399 AMD board that we've seen from anyone here at the event the rog venus extreme art really be supporting AMD's really really really highly anticipated the Red River which is going to be a ridiculous ridiculous multi-core in thread CPU actually you can see that they've actually opted for a ball grid array or BGA in terms of their socket it's gonna be socket tr4 I believe is the name of it and it's actually comprised you can see that it's really long it's not exactly perfectly square so it's basically just going to be two CPUs the two dies fuse together on one motherboard I mean there's basically reminiscent of a server board for example but it's got this sort of gaming swagger to it if you will RGB LEDs right up here and on the chipset itself we've got plenty of PCIe slots for I'm not going to give away how many PJ lanes were actually going to be getting on on this particular platform that is still under NDA but rest assured it will be a lot oh wait let me sum of the powers of YP saw boom do it do it honey beautiful alright now we can see so what other thing is apart from the a Tim cloth you've also got a ninth one that's going to be for an expansion a sort of an expansion card or I should just say a little PCB that will go in here for the dim to support supporting up to 2 mq SSD which is pretty handy also frees up a little bit more space on the TPP for other fun stuff like the PCIe slots and things like that obviously you're going to get support here for the digital RGB addressable RGB strips straight on the motherboard as well as this included 10 Gigabit Ethernet expansion card so that's really nice and the last tidbit of information that I can reveal about this board today is that it will be sporting 802 11 ad Wi-Fi that's right a deism dog not AC is going to be a faster standard that should theoretically give you a bit more bandwidth on the wireless connection moving on to the Intel x2 99 stuff here we have the rog rampage 6 extreme which does look very extreme indeed I actually had Wi-Fi South turn the light off just so we can see the unique RGB effect that we've got here sort of a translucent effect going across the little field here the shield is covering just all the all the little gaps between the the four PCIe gen3 flop tips that looks very nice it's transitioning between the colors relatively smoothly and the sidebar you're going to light a light bar on the side right there which is probably one of the best implementations I've seen on a motherboard another lighting zones here right in the middle Republic of gamers so fair enough fair enough and then one last lighting zone up here in the top left corner by your rear i/o a nice big ole X to our 2066 socket and just as we saw with the X 399 board you do get a dim dot Q slot as well so you can connect up to 2 mq SSDs all right guys we're take a look at the rog Zephyr it was rockin either a gtx 1070 or GG X 1080 with NVIDIA snoo GeForce GTX 2 max Q design you essentially lowers the TDP quite significantly on these full desktop graphics cards so for the 1080 you can go as low as 90 watt TDP which you theoretically improve thermals and battery life exactly kind of the the ultimate combo that you want for a super thin gaming laptop you can see it's pretty much we've entered like ultrabooks bin territory it's super portable and you've got a ton of space here this is really where the cooling solution is probably going to be for your GPU and your CPU we've got a 7700 HQ there's a mobile CPU however of course full fledged desktop GPU once again you got a very nice keyboard here that wiping sauce is demonstrating for us fully backlit but these are not mechanical but they feel really good in fact I'll there is also a small track set on the right it's not too big which I don't mind too much since most gamers are probably going to be connecting amounts anyway however this does function also has a 10 key number pad if you want to do some data entry like that the screen itself is basically one of the centerpieces of this entire device it's a 15.6 inch screen 1920 by 1080 resolution IPS looks absolutely beautiful and it also supports 120 Hertz with g-sync oh my goodness it looks amazing I think we're playing the the latest Mass Effect on here right now and it just looks absolutely cool the other thing is that it's anti glare so matte finish even though there are a ton of lights here at the convention you can still see the screen perfectly fine clear as day also one of my favorite things about this is that the ventilation is always kind of scary on laptops it's not always the best and not the most well implemented if you actually open when you open up the the lid here the entire laptop sort of Rises and it kind of opens up the backplate the entire backplate gets separated from the unit itself and there's just a ton more ventilation right underneath so you're actually getting fresh intake from the sides of the laptop as opposed to the very bottom so if you have to be putting this on like a softer you know you're not not nearly as flat simulant so you leave it on the bed for a second or on the carpet god forbid you can rest assured that the ventilation committee of it's better this year you're not taking it from the very bottom very very cool stuff here as far as pricing and availability you can expect one of these to ship in the next coming months and pricing is obviously going to depend on the tier of hardware package you get you can either get a GTX 1080 with the 512 gig SSD for around 20 $6.99 I believe with the price and the gtx 1070 option with a 256 gig SSD is going to be a couple hundred bucks left stay tuned for this thing it's going to be awesome once against the ROG separate alright guys using some of the stuff you've seen so far has been pretty impressive here at the a tooth booth right here we have the next generation of revolutionary external graphics cards just look at how small and tiny this amazing piece of I've just been informed that this is actually a 4k blu-ray player with RGB lighting no less so forgive me for that mistake this is a revolutionary graphics card that you should all be very interested in but I don't think I don't think we can top RGB blu-ray player for today so I'm just going to call it for this video guys thanks to my sponsors be quiet verdaguer table mod and EVGA for making this trip possible be sure to toss me a like on this video if you enjoyed it guys to check out the links in the description below have a good one getting the hell out of here
