and these initial am 4 chipset announcement was made at pax where we covered the be 350 a320 and xB and a 300 chipsets for sff builds those last ones but we didn't have a high-end chipset yet for the upcoming Zen architecture which would include the FX revamp and higher-end chips summit ridge being part of that today though we know the name of it x 370 and that's about all we know so i guess the news there is that the high-end chipset is theoretically called x 370 and this was posted by XP review one of the asian language websites will link that down below but google translate really won't help you out there all they're really saying though is that x 370 will ship alongside summit ridge cpus and it will add lanes as expected for the high speed i/o devices that would be things like sada or pcie gen3 USB gen 3.1 or what have you so that's really all we're looking at the build of Zen architecture does make this a bit more unique than previously in that the chipset doesn't play quite as big a role as in previous architectures and platforms from even Intel or from AMD so the big thing here is that with a.m. for these on architecture most of the stuff is being piped through the CPU most of the i/o being piped through the CPU there's still effectively an i/o controller on the motherboard it's kind of like a glorified southbridge we'll talk about that more in the future but x 370 is the name of the high-end chipset that will be shipping alongside summit ridge and available on it am for platforms which is now as we've said before the unified platform for gen 7ap use and for zen cpus NZXT is a new era fan series AER not a ir has been officially announced it's a new set of RGB fans from NZXT it enters into the arena of RGB fans which seems like it's really getting quite full as we talked about at computex where the years trend is pretty much RGB everything and tempered glass this represents the tempered glass side of the argument in this news story and the xt is representing the RGB side of the argument at PAX we saw a Corsair has some new RGB LED fans Thurman will take a sort of the incumbent in this arena with their rain fans are iing and now NZXT with air the standout marketing point for NZXT is that these will pair with the hue plus which is an NZXT product and that allows for customizable RGB LED control including daisy chains of fans in groups so you could put groups of fans together on the two separate channels on the hue plus and configure them as you desire for within the case the fans will be available in 120 and 140 millimeter models and use fluid dynamic bearings that accommodate an RPM range of 500 to 1500 rpm the low end of that of course allowing a fairly low noise output that we'll have to test that separately air flow is rated by the company at 2261 that for CFM for 120 millimeters or about 24 to about 72 for 140 millimeters eight leds are present / fan there's a lot of LEDs so these will probably be some of the brightest RGB or at least most vibrant RGB LED fans we've seen yet so again we'll have to look at that and they use light channel to increase the brightness and reduce undesirable light bleed the fans like most RGB LED fans are going to be expensive so they are thirty dollars piece for the 120 millimeter models and 35 for 140 millimeters if you prefer those and then there are kits as well so NZXT is doing a hue + + 2 fan kit with 120 or 140 you can do those setups for eighty dollars or ninety dollars as a good deal of money to spend on LEDs fans obviously will help with the cooling but if you're being honest with yourself you buy this stuff for the LEDs so almost a hundred bucks if you want to do that set up with two fans and a hue plus we reviewed the hue + separately if you're curious about that we can do a link in the post roll video or something but the fans should begin shipping in October the next news item is the roseville cullinan case that we saw at computex 2016 this one was a little bit delayed partly because of shipping issues globally not really something that road or any manufacturer had control over but it is coming here now so as of today this should start being listed on websites like Newegg it will begin shipping within a couple of weeks by end of sep tember definitely and we have a review coming up as obviously we have the case so wait on our review before making a purchasing decisions but to go over the basics again and refresh everyone from copy text it's got four millimeter thick tempered glass on the left and the right side it is a normal mother board layout not inverted like many of the cases we've seen lately so normal mother board layout that means this is the side where you'd be looking into the case and seeing the components other sides cabling and things like that SSDs the front has three fans so it's got four stock as far as we know based on this model 120 millimeter fans three intake and one exhaust this front panel here does also have a tempered glass front but on the side there's your intake grill so obviously you can't breathe through the glass in the front but this isn't really new to the industry it's just knew that it's being done with glass now so previously the s3 40 the h 4 40 the Corsair 400 see the course are 600 see all these cases have sort of a flat plastic front that's the new design aesthetic for the last few years that's what's in so that's being continued here just with glass and then as with those four cases I just named it's breathing through the side so that's where your intake comes in the top has it works there we go one of these so that's your magnetic filter also kind of in right now and was big with the Corsair 400 °c and 600 °c and the rest of it will talk about in the review but that's sort of rose Wells big case for actually the last couple years this is the most promising thing they've had in a while since the r5 if you remember the r5 that was one of our earliest reviews that I don't know if we even made a video for it but this is the the best thing since then it's been a while but they're getting back into the game MSRP is 180 street price is 150 we'll review it and look at thermals and build quality and all that very shortly so subscribe for that and in other case news coolermaster just announced Master case pro 3 we have some shots of the cooler master booth from pax West where they had an explosion of their case up on the wall kind of cool to look at from a b-roll perspective but the master case pro 3 is a micro ATX version of the case you've probably seen advertised on some of the other youtuber channels which was the master case 5 and that's mostly marketed for its modularity so certainly part gimmick and part function with the master case series from coolermaster the pro 3 does the same as the master case 5 it uses thumbscrews everywhere to basically make for a modular set of drive cages modular set of even fan mounting hardware radiator mounting hardware all that stuff can be removed or added if you don't want it or if you want it the case should be selling for around a hundred dollars coolermaster is trying to do kind of the DLC approach and that they're selling accessories add on things like that on their website to plug into all of the will call them I guess just really just modular sockets which is really just thumb screws on the chassis frame so that's positioned all over the frame you can buy stuff from them and upgrade the case I suppose we haven't really tested those cases yet but will hopefully be doing so the unit includes it to one hundred and forty millimeter fans at 1200 RPM max and those are front and rear pretty standard setup it's also got support for up to 5 fans total can fit up to a 280 mm eater radiator so that would be the 2 140 s set up and it can fit eight total hard drives and all of that is semi modular so the drive cages can be removed as well the drive cages and the power supply are in a separate partition within the case kind of the lower half but it's not quite the same as the shrouds were seen in virtually every other case on the market right now I believe including this one so that's the master case pro 5 this is the cullinan x3 70 is the new and these n high-end chipset or what's left of the chipsets anyway what will enable Zen and summit ridge at the very least an den deoxys got the new air fans so that's all for this news item as always patreon link in the post roll video to help us out directly we'll throw a link to the NZXT eq review over there as well and then links from below for more information I'll see you all next time you
