Corsair's 40lb Concept Slate Case & New Hydro Liquid Cooling

2017-05-30
Aaron we're at Computex 2017 this is one of our first few videos of the show what we have here is the concept slates only talking about two products of the course overview today the first one is this massive case which is somewhat reminiscent of the Obsidian line like the city of 900 défis remember that later in the video we'll be talking about something new closely coolers the next-gen hydro series for concepts plate the main thing to point out other than obviously its sheer size is this particular build is a two system bill so there's an ATX form factor motherboard up here and an ITX form factor motherboard mounted atop the power supply shroud which is removable by the way and that is what host IC x system so then you've got the video card on here 1080i 1080i and both of these if you've noticed our liquid cooled but their liquid cooled of course our brand apart so that's the other big push forces making here they are trying to get into the open loop space and that's something we're seen as a bit of a trend right now specifically this year EK WB is pushing harder in that space as well so open loop is going to heat up for this year definitely but getting back to the case power supply shroud this is a giant hard drive cage array so we'll show a backside shot of that you can put a ton of drive cages in there and on that backside shot you can actually see that there are French doors and for accessing the storage so all of the SSDs I think from memory is like three on one x three on the other SSDs plus the hard drive pages in the center so those open up to access that and other interesting pieces I suppose would be there's actually like a rail server rack mounting feature up here so the sort of rail system is what hosts the radiator which is right there and then there's also one of the front over here you pull the rails out mount the rad and there's support for two rads mounting on the front and then we've got one up here in this current build this case you kind of give give some perspective now that we've gone over all of the craziness this is not necessarily going to ship as is this is a concept case hence the name concepts plates so of course share is showing this off as what for two main reasons one this may be a new halo product like the obsidian 9 hardy which clearly not everyone buys nor should everyone by but it's something that fits a very specific audience - it's a way to show off new ideas and so those ideas on this specific build would be things like the rails the rails from stores in the bag stuff like that and then theoretically bring it down to other product lines in the future so with that perspective in mind no price right now release date may be quarter three or four but again things will probably change by then so that's most of the case to go over a couple of really quick specs off the sheet the case itself weighs about 40 pounds I believe they have three liters of coolant in here which is by itself pretty heavy and the system itself is some are the 100 to 120 pound range just the entire build next week so that gives you an idea of how big it really is this door alone I've been told is somewhere in the range of five pounds as well and that is because it's using a four millimeter thick piece of tempered glass on the side there's four mil thick glass on the front all the aluminum bits are four millimeters thick as well and then the structural steel part is one mil thick which is also pretty pretty large and expensive for a case you don't really see that in cases normally when you see a measurement close to one mil it includes the paint measurement as well this is just the steel properties one mil thing so I think that runs us through the case we're gonna move over to the cooling now so the new hydro series coolers check that out including the 8 X 6 gen modified pump all right so now that we are done with the large case we're looking at the hydro series cooler so this is the next gen of hydro series coolers they don't have a name just yet but they're interesting for one primary reason at least right now and that is that they're using a modified six generates a clump this is the first time we've at least at our outlets seeing the 6 gen pumps in actual it's all been fists 4.5 for the EVGA coolers a GPU one and four done before that so that's kind of new this is a little bit modified with coursers next gen hydro series the key items of note would be first of all the pump housing the block is a little bit smaller than the previous series we have some footage of the h1 15i for example a much bigger block and also they have reverted back to the tubes protruding from the side using an L bracket 90 degree I'll break it rather than from the top of the pump speaking personally I prefer that because we often you do the hydrent hybrid mods for our video cards so when you do that you really don't want them sticking out of the top of the housing because it just messes everything up there's no clearance for anything so that helps there and on that note the smaller form factor of the blocks of the pump housing will theoretically allow for better support with hybrid mods in the future we happen to do one so that's data the next thing would be to talk about what's going on underneath we don't know any details about the sixth gen pump yet at least one that can be shared today the cold plate on the bottom side though theoretically has been a little bit modified for Corsair we don't know the full details yet we'll tear one down eventually and show you but modified cold plate by a stack for course there there's a modified PCB inside so it presumably it's not just the normal a stack straight PCB that they ship with basically everything except for the kraken x XX 2 series that's what we're looking at there the PCB modifications don't know the expensive yet however one interesting thing on on the front of controls and firmware and all of that would be the PWM setup for the new cooler so previously one of the biggest complaints we've had especially the 5th gen stuff is that the liquid temperature is really what dictates and governs the speed of the pump and that's kind of useless because even if you put a 7700 k and they're 5 gigahertz which we've done you'll get stuck at something like 30 C for the liquid temperature and the CPU will just keep climbing climbing doesn't matter so now that a specs moving to something more similar to what cool it does and allowing better control of or more parameters for control of the Pampas feeds of fan speed things like that theoretically we'll see some better performance out of these things particularly in the noise arena so that's another big point that coursers been pushing with the Dyson hydro series is to drive down noise we don't know a whole lot of details just yet they are including maglev fans which will help in that department the pump noise has always been a big complaint by a lot of you on the AC net coolers but you can only go down to formula 90% PWM and you just find a noise so this should continue helping in that area so I think that's most of it a couple small things to note I guess on the radiator it is a larger radiator core something like 2 millimeter larger we don't know the poldi's have nothing we finalized just yet as a larger radiator this is a 360 there's a 280 next to me as well and that's all we have for today so as always the links in the description below for full information with the article and the rest of the stuff that was that was sweet we'll have some separate news items on the keyboard things like that you can go to patreon.com/scishow saxon Southside directly stored I gave his ex without net to grab a shirt thank you for watching subscribe tomorrow I'll see you all next time you
