what's going on everyone welcome back to the channel hope you're all doing well today we're doing something a little bit different we're going to be checking out this pre-built desktop from the folks over at Origin PC they are a very well-known and reputable boutique system builder and there's admittedly a lot of controversy around these types of high-end gaming pre-built and I think one of the main reasons for that is that you can often build your own system in identical system for a lot cheaper and I think while that's true most of the time there's a lot of cases where that is true there are still a number of benefits that you might receive when going with a company like Origin PC we're going to be talking about that today more specifically I wanted to bring you guys along for the experience of what it's like to receive one of these high-end gaming desktops because this is my first experience personally I've never even seen one of these or checked one of these out myself so it should be it should be a fun experience for me hopefully you guys enjoyed the ride along with me and we'll be testing it out we'll be firing it up to see if there's any sort of software that's pre-installed that we need to know about what the gaming experience is like if it's just as overclockable and just as fast as a regular DIY system that you might build yourself including what it all comes with you know the accessories and things like that first off though before I get ahead of myself I did want to plug the giveaway that's currently ongoing with fractal design and the folks over at Origin PC to win this exact system right here this is a $3,800 rig they're neuron system featuring a 7700 K core i7 from Intel and 2 GTX 1080p eyes in sli if you want the full specs and details on how to enter go ahead and follow the link in the description below on that note guys let's go ahead and talk about what comes with this package so first off the system itself came in a nice big wooden box we actually needed a screwdriver or a power drill to get it open but it was really simple after that and it also comes included with the shirt you get a nice origin pc shirt we've also got what looks to be a bag of power supply cables for our EBG a power supply that's inside the system and look at that Wow these are some really nice custom sleeve cables these are not extensions these are straight cables that go directly from the power supply to the various components and it's pretty much that we got the whole game here SATA VGA ts just molex all around and this sort of reminds me that with a prebuilt like this at least they're using all standard universal form factor components meaning you could upgrade and expand the system however you want at any time and they've clearly given you enough cables to do that so for example if you wanted to swap out the GPUs later down the line that required different PCIe plugs you're pretty much covered with this patch of cables and don't quote me on this but they look like they might be with what the word paracord paracord sleeving I'm not exactly sure if that's what this is whatever it is it's really nice so I'm sure most users will be happy with the quality there and then we've got this Origin PC box which I would imagine is filled with some motherboard accessories we've got our AC cable of course yes motherboard accessories like the Wi-Fi antenna for the motherboard we've got you know SLI bridges extra SATA cables and things like that a USB flash drive 16 gig kingston flash drive which is USB 3 that's nice a little USB 3 flash back I would imagine there's some drivers on here just for backup we'll see once we boot the system up and that's it guys that's very simple it doesn't come included with a bunch of crap you don't need like stupid posters that are folded up 30 times they look terrible so it's pretty much just the essentials which is already a good sign so why don't we go ahead and boot this guy up for the very first time and see what we find on the desk alright first boot wasn't success here we are in the ACS UEFI of the Z 270g gaming motherboards asus rog Strix model and let's see here we've got to get some overclock settings it looks like folks over at origin have already dialed us in a nice XMP profile for our memory ddr4 2667 very nice they've also done an all core overclock on our 7700 k to 5 gigahertz beautiful and yeah it's looking pretty good in here nothing that I wouldn't do myself honestly if I had built this myself adaptive mode that's good so we're not wasting unnecessary power when we're in idling States so beautiful this is looking pretty good I'm going to go ahead and boot into the desktop now check out our Windows environment so here we are right off the bat something tells me that this is not a default Windows 10 background looks like origins had some fun here on the desktop you'll find icons such as this PC recycle bin and PDF Origin PC readme let's open it up see what they have to say here we've got a little thank-you and welcome message here some notes about included accessories ok so apparently the flash drive that comes included is has a system image on it not drivers so forgive me for that some other notes about overclocked processors liquid-cooled desktops this is pretty cool 24/7 lifetime hotline at 187 7 origin 0 or you can contact them via email support at Origin PC comm I really think this is one of the big selling points about buying a prebuilt rig from a boutique system builder you have this constant lifeline of tech support there's only one company that you have to go through regardless of what happens with your rig if the CPUs bad or if the memory goes bad there's something wrong with the GPU the case it doesn't matter you just have one contact for all of that stuff on the other end of the spectrum if you build your own system you're pretty much responsible for troubleshooting everything yourself which most of us are comfortable with on you know all the viewers of this channel I'd say a lot of us are really tech savvy enough to go in there and troubleshoot things ourselves but not everyone has the know-how and especially not everyone has the time to fiddle around with their systems so for users who prefer to not get their hands dirty when it comes to servicing their rigs I mean origin is just a call away and offer support in a moment's notice which is really handy last little bit of information here it says all important items will be located in the sea Origin PC folder we've got some recommended apps in there go ahead and check that out here we can see we've got our o they actually hooked it up with a 500 gig samsung 960 Evo holy prep it actually said on the spec sheet I was given it said a 250 gig but hey guys if you're entering that giveaway 500 gig nvme SSD holy crap that's really nice and of course a 4 terabyte WD black but ok they said that the important files would be in C Origin PC which is right here so we've got origin logos yada yada yada recommended apps cpu-z beautiful hardware monitor so some nice monitoring apps for temperatures and frequencies and things like that web root and origin team View origin team view I would imagine is if they need to actually service your your system for you and they need to remote in so they can take control of your desktop and help you out and see what you're seeing that's actually really handy so let's let's take a look at some of these some of these some of datas let's take a look at some Zeta is right here ZB u Z all right so we're probably not going to see the 5 gigahertz reading right now just for a second there when we when we let it up because we're in adaptive mode right so it's only going to hit 5 5 gigahertz consistently once we put a load on to the CPU ah that's cool you can see here we've got some memory running at the rated 26 66 megahertz dual channel 32 gigs ddr4 absolutely beautiful and hardware monitor sorry if it's a little tiny on the screen guys sorry sorry sorry and then hardware monitor errs let's take a look at some tampered shares here idling temps we are currently rocking anywhere from the high 20s to low 40s I mean it's bouncing all over the place but mostly in the 20 high 20s I would say we're idling in the high 20s it's very nice it's super chilly in here as well I should mention ambient is probably around 21 22 C but you know what guys know what I want to do now I want to see if origin pc actually overclocked our graphics cards as well so I've installed MSI Afterburner I've got two instances of GPUs e running one for each of our cards the one on the left is the top card the one on the right is the bottom card so I'm going to fire the soup or mara hey hey hey it looks like this has already been fiddled with power in temps lighters are maxed out and there's already been a 120 megahertz core clock offset and memory clock offset input into the system into the into the software here so it looks like maybe afterburner was already installed I just didn't know about it at any rate it looks like we're already running overclocked with our GT X 1080 Ti so that's pretty cool and of course I would imagine that your ma your mileage is going to vary based on the type of configuration and loadout that you go with with origin key see some of those systems might be overclocked fully the other other ones might not be I'm not exactly sure but it looks like ours is those CPU and GPU seem to have gotten some treatment some love from the origin pc guys so we've got Unigine Heaven 4.0 running right here and we're just going to keep an eye on these temperatures first off it actually all of our data here core clock is currently at 1960 one point five megahertz on both cards temperatures are arising slowly but surely alright so it's been a couple minutes now and the system is has definitely gotten a bit louder it's not overwhelmingly loud though it's nothing that would blow your ears out especially if you're wearing headphones or listening to in-game audio through the speakers or something like that but it is they're taking a look at the temperatures on the bottom card we've got a GPU temp of 86 C and the top card is running at 89 C we're almost hitting 90 degrees on the top video card it's kind of a shame that that it's a micro ATX board and we're unable to put an additional slot between the two cards that would open up just a little bit more airflow I think for the top fan but what can you do tis the form factor and then we've also got what's even more concerning though is the GPU load we're pretty much at 100% load on the bottom card but on the top card we're getting anywhere from 70 to 85 85 degrees 85 % GPU utilization and also under the performance cap reason which gives us an explanation of why performance might be capped at any given point I was seeing the thermal icon pop up indicating that we're running into some thermal limitations with this top card so that could also explain why our GPU load is less than ideal but why don't we go ahead and play some games of this I think we should fire up some games by the way still at 1920 by 1080 in Unigine Heaven 4.0 we're still getting over 200 FPS just just just putting that out all right here we are in GTA 5 one of two games that were going to be trying out today I just wanted to give you guys a quick rundown of these settings we're using 4k alright no vsync obviously everything's maxed out with the exception of msaa being at 2x that's also the goes for the reflection msaa but everything else is completely maxed out alright so we're rolling through the streets here and looks like we're getting anywhere from 90 to 110 FPS depending on the textures in the scene things like that but overall very smooth experience not getting any sort of stuttering there is some screen tearing but that's of course for different reasons besides the system itself alright so this gives us a pretty good idea of how the system performs in GTA 5 and honestly guys with the current settings that we're using this is probably the most demanding title that I use for testing currently so if that's any indication of how speedy this system really is I mean honestly pair this rig with a 4 kg sync display with a decent refresh rate and you're in friggin business man so on that note why don't we go ahead and switch to our next game ok quick change of plans for whatever reason the only other game that I have installed on here Doom is not working it's just a black screen every time I launch I have no idea what's wrong and I don't really have the time to figure it out so instead of running a second game for this video I decided to run 3d mark firestrike ultra a fantastic synthetic benchmark just to see what kind of crazy number it spits out and here we have an overall score of 12,000 854 with a graphics score of 13,000 873 and just to put things in perspective I actually brought up the scores from hotline my custom water-cooled PC that was pretty much the best gaming desktop you could build in 2015 just two years ago and here these these numbers just look so sad in comparison an overall score of 8000 271 and a graphic score of 80 366 if we're talking graphic scores the origin PC has a 66% lead over hotline which is just absolutely insane so very impressive numbers all around additionally I thought you guys might be interested in the maximum core package temps for 7700 K so here they are after one run in fire strike ultra you can see here we have a max package temperature of 84 degrees Celsius which is pretty warm I would not be comfortable with it getting much hotter than that of course the end user always has the option to dial down the overclock or remove it all together if they wanted to lower the temperatures a bit or even get into their system and swap out the a IO for a bigger unit perhaps or even a custom loop should you be up for the task alright guys that's pretty much going to conclude it for this video I'm really glad I was able to take you along for my first experience unboxing and setting up this pre-built system from Origin PC I thought it was a very positive experience overall it's always interesting to sort of acquire a DIY desktop PC that you haven't built yourself because it's kind of like you know you're kind of curious you're wondering what the person who built it has done to it you know what does it look like inside you know did they do the cable management right by the way the cable management in this thing is freaking perfect like it is absolute 10 out of 10 perfection would manage again but I would make them manage it because they're much better at it than I am now at the end of the day yes you could build this exact system for less money that's true but I think these pre bolts are really catered for a specific niche that may or may not apply to you for example people who don't have the technical know-how who just maybe aren't good with computers but really want to get in on that DIY PC gaming experience they've heard about the glorious pc master race but they don't necessarily have the technical skills to build themselves a rig additionally you might have people who don't have the time maybe they know how to build pcs and they feel comfortable with at least learning about it but they're just maybe they're a single parent with two jobs and you know there are more important things to do with their time that could be another reason why they might opt for an Origin PC PC and finally I'm sure there's a group of people who just feel much more comfortable running a PC like this if they have a direct support line one company that they have to deal with for any technical issues that they have with this one product not 8 to 12 different products so there's definitely some value in that I think in piece of mind if you don't feel comfortable with the subject matter or if you don't necessarily have the time to get your hands dirty I'm going to get out of your hair now guys so please lend me some feedback on pre-built desktops and this video in the comments below let me know if you'd like me to take a look at another one of these maybe there's some some other form of testing that you'd want to see with one of these pre-built or maybe you never want to see me you know feature one on the channel
