hey Ron we're at CES 2017 I think this is our maybe almost third day now we're here the gigabytes suite but this is the bricks VR this is a new gigabyte complete system pretty small it has a GTX 1060 in it and in AI 770 700 K let that be kV Lee where you be taking this part the inside is pretty cool the thermal solution I think is definitely understand I haven't tested it but it's pretty unique so we'll take that apart before you get into that this content is brought to you by cyber power and their cyber gaming XL system which has an invertible motherboard layout and you can learn more and be linked in the description below so for the outside pretty small shell all of our i/o is lit your videos out I oh and then there's your USB and audio and things like that flipping it over this is the bottom side and it's just got four screws in the bottom so that's pretty trivial to do of course it all for those undone and then once we open it it actually unfold in a way that reveals the CPU and GPU separately and with the custom cooling solution okay so that's removed four screws and it's got some clips TV inside now there's a cooling fan just one fan for the whole unit and again it's at the bottom the intake is coming in through these sort of chamfered edges around the base plate that the screws connect to and that it sits on you got your intake there I'm not sure the size that's found which would maybe be a 92 or 100 millimeter or something like that ok so the next part this flies apart like that so we've only taken out four screws so far and there's the rest of the shell what's the video out from the GPU so this size then internally there's some couple loose cables because of CES and some taking apart a few times internally there's the GPU pulling solution of key people in solution this one is for the CPU and the other side which has the video out ports to make it obvious is the GPU coin solution so flipping it over we've got two screws here one near the cooling fan and then one is deeper in the cave once you get those two screws out this just completely separates pulls open like this and there's your power cable but once it separates you can see the heatsink solution aluminum sends there's a single copper heat pipe and I believe a copper base plate but we'll look when we take it apart and this is the GPU cooling solution and the CPU one we'll look at in a moment but just for a preview there's a CPU cooling solution both of them you can see how pretty this one has larger fins but the GPU solution is a little different in that to get some extra surface area the fins have somewhat of a bezel outward and hopefully that picks up on camera but and this is on all them so it deliberates through all the fins back and that gives a bit more surface area to dissipate the heat there's a single screw dead centered down the middle so if we wanted to take the heatsink off its the GPU that's where we start and then there's a ton of thermal pads underneath us from what I've been told - in theory that helped with the heat buildup in such a small unit because again you're relying on a single fan to cool this whole thing and our exhaust is exhaust is exactly the same as the intakes so for the exhaust you've got just a small chamfered edge where they're escape so that means there's a lot of Keats's dissipate in small space that have the presses no more there's actually a bunch of thermocouples chopped off in here from their R&D team definitely been through some testing let's let's pull this PTU portion out and then maybe look at the heatsink and more depth I basically took out an m2 as a C or maybe it's dummy one I'm not sure that's even a realist it is real I see we got an m2 SSD and that uncovered the wireless card then we just connected the antennas and now this should slide out they go someplace to take that power header there's the shell nothing too special once it's all fair like that the bat aside and here is the memory obviously MDOT to port your wireless card a couple of inductors and then the i/o MMD as other I think led to the CPU heatsink at this point and it's got bricks branded chokes all around it with a couple MOSFETs as you would expect so that's the basics of the cooler I'm curious about one thing I want to take this one off because it is a CPU cooler if you get a bit warm see how complex is too cool okay there we go so it's actually still got thermal paste on it this is the underside we've got a copper cold plate it is actually protruded which as we've shown in some of our testing is normally a good seen sort of conclusion the copper cold player actually looks like might even just be a solder layer between that and the heat pipe I was wrong about the heat pipes there are actually two of them so there's one heat pipe on the perimeter here and that is going over the vram if you kind of lay them out next to each other that heat pipe is contacting vram and it's contacting either the capacitor bank over here or the chokes for the vrm and then the inner heat pipe is and our key type is Wisconsin is helping with the GPU cooling and it looks like the other part of the BRM that's the cooling solution from the underside fairly substantial given the small form factor a lot of thermal pads as advertised and there's actually maybe you can get in a get a zoom in on this one potentially there's actually an aluminum plate that's again it looks like soldered to the rest of the aluminum plate and then the thermal pad on top of it and that is in fact what is contacting the capacitor bank from the looks of it and then you've got a couple of others for outlier sets and then some giant clay paste the internal pads for contact with the vram actually so that's the vrm cooling right there v RM or V Graham rather using C Ram and then a GPU capacitor bank and show so that's the entire cooling solution for the small form-factor system we just took apart gamers Nexus dotnet for the full coverage articles all those things on CES 2017 thank you for watching as always subscribe for more patreon link devotional video for more information I'll see you all next time you
