awesomesauce network's coverage of computex 2016 has been overclocked by gigabyte fantex cable mud ng scale making the contents of this video highly unstable click the links in the description for more info what's up guys I'm now here at the zotac booth is computex day 3 although I'm probably uploading all this stuff out of order so it prolly shouldn't been said however I'm taking a look right now at their Magnus en 980 now this is basically a little mini PC but don't be fooled by its size it's actually packing some pretty hefty hardware so basically what we're rocking here is a core i5 6400 we are rocking skylake 16 gigs of ddr3 actually that's ddr3l I believe yes at 1600 and we've also got a GTX 980 full desktop graphics so we're not dealing with a mobile processor here so it's actually going to be able to deliver all the frame rates you might need for high-end gaming experience and also if you look over here it's completely water-cooled the CPU and the GPU are both water-cooled which is pretty awesome so you're going to be able to overclock without you know actually overheating or thermal throttling things like that so it's got a pretty hefty looking configuration here and they've done a really nice job keeping it super compact you also have an m2 slot it is still sada so they don't have the PCIe integration yet but you got an m2 you've also got room for an SSD the one that comes with i believe is 120 gigs you can't upgrade both your storage configuration and your memory no problem just by opening up the box with a few screws but equally exciting if not more so about this product is that it's actually using the same internals that's going to be going into zou Tech's vr backpack which is basically going to be great for playing the are without any kind of tethering from your freaking headset which is really annoying we actually check this out at the MSI booth recently and they had their own version of this but it was a larger kind of like hardshell case zotac has taken a completely different approach here and made it more like a backpack like this kind of more of a fabric design and that keeps it a little bit lighter and also more comfortable in my opinion now of course they haven't done a complete transfer of the Magnus Ian 980 into the the zotac backpack which right now doesn't have a name so instead of water cooling they've stuck with air cooling for the backpack just because I don't know lots of movement and water cooling don't really mix all that well they've also kind of rearranged the inner words to make it a lot flatter to fit in a backpack design battery time right now is well we can't really go into detail about the battery because zotac is still trying to find a good battery vendor to work with to bring this thing to the market so we don't know exactly what the game time is right now the version of the rockin is anywhere from one to two hours of game time which is pretty good I actually pitched them the idea of having hot swappable batteries so instead of having to charge it you know charge the lithium-ion battery every time it dies you can just swap him out for uninterruptedly in play which I think would be a really cool idea also they didn't really have the holsters on the backpack like we saw at the MSI booth which I also thought they should implement so altogether pretty cool stuff here but we also have some stuff with graphics so this is the GTX 1080 amp edition and amp extreme so the amp edition is going to be a little bit more cost friendly it's not got quite all the bells and whistles but it's still a really powerful card it's got two large fans over a pretty beefy heatsink and you do have RGB LEDs that are supported by the firestorm software from zotac so you've got LEDs pretty much on the amp addition on the front you've got two little accents on the front and then you've got the zotac branding at I guess the other front of the card you can see this is a custom PCB design because there are two 8-pin PCIe connector so it's going to be great for overclocking a very nice backplate it's kind of a brushed aluminum it's got sort of an anodized gray as well as some yellow accents right there but altogether a really solid piece of hardware standard display io on the back there and then moving on to the amp extreme this is obviously they're more high-end version we've got three fans here they are a bit smaller but you do have a third one and they do have kind of like a nice sharper design which I really like the aesthetic there you can also see it is also featuring RGB LEDs both on the front there's a little push to push the limit icon that will light up as well as zotac on the the the faceplate of the card and as well as the backplate so the push the limit logo will actually light up in whatever color you choose and the push the limit and the other RGB LEDs on the card can be controlled independently of each other so if you want to switch it up and actually have multiple colors all around this card you could do so again QA pin PCIe connectors so you're going to be getting some excellent power delivery to overclock this thing just look how friggin beefy this thing is so it is a 2 slot card however the thickness of the cooler almost reaches three slots so you're gonna have to keep that into consideration when trying to find this space for this in your case don't really have much else to say here at this point for zotac keep an eye out for these cards they're going to be launching very soon and that's going to do it for now be sure to also check out the links in the description below for my sponsors thinking huge shout-out to gigabyte fantex g.skill and cable mod i'll see you guys in the next one
