hey Ron we're at Computex 2018 at ek sweet now and they have a couple of pretty interesting things first off a lot of this stuff still prototype stage so don't have prices release date stuff like that but there's actually an opportunity for some viewer engagement here because they're looking for feedback on a few products so comment below as you watch that buy suppose and let them know what you think of each thing before that this video is brought to you by thermal takes view 37 case the vo 37 focuses on highlighting custom PC builds with its full panoramic window and tinted front acrylic and our thermal testing the view 37 performed reasonably well when considering its looks focused build which is partly thanks to the airflow design and the removal of a bottom power supply shroud for a balance of looks and performance check the link in the description below for the view 37 the main thing we're be talking about is I guess we'll start with the UK wooden is the current codename product so these are just wood plates for CPU blocks GPU blocks stuff like that and right now the idea is basically a custom kind of one-off CNC wood plate that you can choose from but if there's enough interest ek is considering doing more of a not necessarily mass-produced but a non mass product so if you're super interested in these let them know but I mean basically it's just a cover so it's a wood cover they have different types of wood it's more or less handmade so it's CNC it and then they go through and hand garnish and stuff like that so kind of cool definitely very different and also the fittings have water on them as well so that's just quick coverage on though is the more sort of end-user products will eventually be this thing so this is a follow up to the phoenix line that we covered recently semi recently and it's kind of so it's got the integrated pump on it right now it's a prototype the pump in there isn't the final version so we weren't able to see the impeller or anything like that but it is a it looks much larger than it is because the fans are housed within the sort of exterior shell of the radiator and then there's obviously radiator fans push through it's currently a 240 240 go and then the block is where it's a bit interesting as far as I'm concerned anyway because the block is more of an open loop style block you can also detach the fit-in so if you wanted to go semi open semi closed loop like with the phoenix line you can do that by detaching the fittings and then opening up the loop with presumably future products so this one doesn't have a name yet its prototype as stated but basically a Phoenix follow up it's a bit less boxy looking than the Phoenix and has a bit more brand presence on the block as well so that's kind of what they're going for with it there's another one behind it which will have b-roll of and that is the fluid gaming Hydra so this one I don't know the supplier it's not a Sutekh we'll take it apart eventually and find out a pol tech is common Dyna Tron's common cool it is less common probably not cool it so we'll take it apart later and look at it but the blocks interesting too otherwise standard radiator standard fans and I should mention the fans there's new Vardar extreme fan which has slightly different blade design functionally same idea just digital RGB LEDs on it and they can be daisy chains so there are actually two RGB headers on there if you want to daisy chain them not really something we typically cover but worth mentioning so I know the Vardar fans have a really cult following with our viewers and then also the outer side here has eight different color options so that's your thing they're gonna have it and then I think we're getting into some more of the fluid game and stuff on this side so these are your GPU plates so there's an aluminum they're both they're both aluminum options but one is UV printed and the other one is just an aluminum plate so this is where the viewer engagement comes in if you're interested in either of these let them know the problem is with an ek fluid gaming product you're kind of targeting budget users anyway so once you start doing fancy stuff with the plate the price will go up it's just a question of would you rather get the fluid gaming aluminum kit with a more customized block and pay more for it or forego that stuff and just go with a copper loop and it's gonna be less fancy looking but it'll be copper loops to let them know also the UV printed version would be a lot cheaper than the aluminum tops version that I just held up and then the final thing to talk about is the thread ripper stuff so thread it for two's around the corner we don't a hundred percent for sure no yeah what the dye orientation or or which dyes will be populated on tr2 but for sure we do know that there's gonna be a 24 course Oh not positive but that's if that's still gonna be too active dyes or if they're increasing that active dye count but the velocity STR for blocks here have been redesigned and it's more than just RGB LEDs even though that's what everyone is doing now so the top basically water comes in splits between the the micro fins and they have coverage over the fins so it's not direct dye in a literal sense that it's not directly contacting the dye but I believe the phrase that UK was using this targeted dye cooling which is accurate because basically the water comes in hits the act of dyes then there's supposed to be a flow jet flow plate later where you can reorient it so if you wanted to you can do an a/b test of where you think the dyes are flip it and then see if the active dyes are actually somewhere else there's something we talked about in our thread Ripper coverage ages ago but at a time it looked like pretty much every thread Ripper CPU had the same two active dies so it wasn't variable presumably this can ship in one configuration it'll work for everything with tr2 that's where the question comes in so if those active thighs change for some reason you would be able to theoretically flip the orientation so that you can still cool everything accurately with the thread reporter CPUs and that I think that covers most of ek is stuff they have a whole lot of it here we'll have some more information if we do an article that'll be linked in the description below and otherwise as
