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 half-life 3 will stay unconfirmed guess where we are this is the design Oh curve NX 3 8 vq monitor actually that's just a bunch of text on a wall this is the design Oh curve mx3 8 vq monitor and it's pretty beastly you can see it's an ultra wide display it's an LED IPS so I really good for color correction makes all the colors pop and stuff it says it's 29 21 by 9 aspect ratio but that I think that might be inaccurate because if you look over here it says the resolution is actually 38 40 by 1600 which actually gives you a little bit more vertical space than a typical 21 by 9 display so I think Paul said he was going to call this start calling this ultra wide plus so I'm gonna steal that for this video look at this ultra wide plus monitor I know he's gonna he's gonna hate me but you can also see here it's a 37 point 5 inch it's got Bisson built-in eight watt speakers some people like that sort of thing there's also an audio chip built-in so it handles all the the post-processing if you wanted to get your sound out of that in that such way it's also got a wireless Qi charger I'm pretty sure that's how you pronounce it actually at the base the base of it is a built-in wireless charger right there I know it's spelled Qi but believe it's pronounced Qi I don't even know if this phones on this phone was already here when I got here oh there it goes so that's actually pretty cool I feel like when I'm at my desk I usually put my phone right kind of on the base anyway so now we can charge while I do that assuming assuming I ever get this monitor in my studio but there's another cool panel over here I think you guys are going to really like this first off just check out the industrial design it looks pretty stunning this is the pro art pa3 to you cute bit of a tongue twister but this is a 4k display and it is 32 inches 16 by 9 so talking a bit more of a familiar aspect ratio here but it's a quantum dot panel that's not just 4k but also HD are supported with Adobe RGB you can take a look at some of the specs here it's 85% of rec 2020 I'm still getting familiar with all these numbers and what exactly they mean I'm sure some of you guys could probably help me out on that 99.5% of Adobe RGB so gonna be really great for content creators you can see it's also got Thunderbolt 3 display ports HDMI on the video IO which is pretty sweet this thing is I don't know I hate actually recording videos of products like this because it's just impossible to show you guys how amazing it looks unless you're actually here in person but it is pretty stellar even just comparing it to the LED monitor over here which is IPS again which already looks fabulous it looks amazing and you just look over here like but I want this one this is Dawa and I want that quantum dot with the HDR gets us really gets getting me really excited for premium HDR content in the near future hopefully we're gonna be seeing that come mainstream in 2017 let's move on to see what else they got here alright guys next up we've got some motherboards here this is a z2 70 board ROG line of course we've got the Maximus 9 apex and what good old JJ was telling me about this board is that it is for the most enthusiasts of enthused overclockers so this is basically in overclockers wet dream especially if you're trying to break some world records this is actually what probably the board they're going to be using at the hardware bot overclocking contest that's going to be going on during CES so that's definitely saying something you can see it's got to DIMM slots adding more DIMM slots does add some interference when you're trying to hit some high high frequencies you're probably wondering what the heck heck this thing is this is actually a dim m2 adapter so it's actually the regular dim slot but they've rewired it to fit an m2 on this little board here so you can just mount it right there kind of a clever and interesting way to mount some some high-speed storage in your and in your case we've also got this little thing here they wanted me to point this out this is kind of like a just a little plating it's purely aesthetic but you can customize it however you like just simply with a straight razor this was actually done by hand no like laser etching fancy work someone just did this with a straight razor I think they did some they traced over it so you can kind of make the board your own which is pretty cool and for further customizability you've also got full-blown RGB s all over there's there's definitely no shortage of that and that's of course controlled and tuned in the aura software and it syncs with any other or compatible components you may have in your system pretty sweet so just take a look at the apex and how that was really great for overclocking this is a board that you want to get if you're a really high-end custom water-cooler and you just are looking for the most extreme solution in fact that's probably why they've called it the Maximus 9 extreme and I think the first glaring thing that sticks out is this massive water block that actually covers not just your CPU but your vrm as well as an M to drive that you can put right under under this part of the block that says extreme you can water pull your m to drive with this this entire set up and this is included this whole block is included and you can see there's an inlet and outlet here the cool thing about this is if there's a leak in either one of these these are at these ports it'll actually auto shut off the entire system as to prevent any kind of further damage from occurring which is pretty awesome it's all built in good to go now you'll also take a look at some of the fan headers here there's a just ridiculous number of fan headers and actually there's 12 Paul Paul pulses there's 12 I assume you already did this board Paul no I'm waiting really finished so I can talk together oh but can watch my video where I talked about in sale the same things but Chris Chris make sure you edit out all this part with Paul alright alright cool bye Paul so according to Paul there's 12 of these fan headers what's really cool about them is that they're actually grouped so um these are primarily for radiators so you actually have let's say you have a 480 at the bottom of your case you plug in to these 4 they will also they will all act pretty much the same you want them to have the identical rpm things like that all the same fan curves there's also a group of 4 up here so if you have multiple radiators in your system just connected to those grouped fan headers and you're good to go there are 4 pin PWM all the good stuff there's also an independent fan header scattered throughout the board if you just wanted to connect some basical fans I don't know the price point on this board I believe I would have to assume it's going to be like 6 700 at least this thing is just an absolute monster so again for the best of the best you are looking for extreme water cooling solutions in the rig alright so you guys know how fond I am of Mini ITX boards so when I saw this one I kind of got all giddy inside and screamed like a little girl this is the Maximus 9 hero boom and this is part of the Strix lineup it's not an rog board but when you take a get it you don't really feel like they've compromised for much of anything of course you've got your typical to DIMM slots and your your by 16 right there but if you look at just like the craftsmanship and the heatsinks they are freaking beautiful again this is one of those things you have to see in person but they are etched very nicely the shapes are pretty on point look they even fit USB 3.1 internal motherboard header right there on the corner that is pretty awesome and if you're wondering what this is this is actually a cover plate for your MDOT to drive there's an m2 slot right here there's they actually put it separate heat separately right here you can kind of see that there's a space for your MDOT to and there's a thermal pad on the inside so you can cool your MDOT 2 as well it's both form and functions so even if you have a really nasty ugly-ass MDOT to drive you can just cover it all up while giving it a bit more thermal dissipation than you otherwise would without it I kind of like the fact that they've switched over not just MDOT twos from behind the motherboard they put it to the front and they've also made a nice elegant solution for it I almost forgot to mention this board also has an RGB LED header all right guys that's going to do it for me at the Asus booth here at CES 2017 they have a lot of amazing stuff here but I really wanted to just be super precise and only cover things that I really thought you guys would appreciate let me know if you like kind of the shorter format or if you want to see all the things into in the next video but until next time get the hell out ere pole get just he you can't take him anywhere it's just ridiculous anyway huge shout out to my sponsors MSI fractal design and cable mod go ahead and check them out in the description below have a good one guys and I'll see you in the next one
