everyone we're at Computex 2018 at gigabytes headquarters now looking at a good amount of new products actually one of them that I want to point out immediately is the new X 399 motherboard for AMD not Intel and then a B 450 motherboard for AMD not Intel anyone else is getting those confused we'll talk about other motherboards later but for now these two are new and interesting and then also the gigabytes trying to make a push somewhat in memory a couple of other adjacent spaces like power supplies so we'll go through a few of these before the show starts and I think we'll have a couple more things to talk about later on before that this video is brought to you by Thermal Grizzlies high-end thermal paste and liquid metal thermal Grizzlies cryo knot is an affordable high quality thermal compound that doesn't face some of the aging limitations of other pastes on the market cryo knot has a thermal conductivity of 12.5 watts per meter Kelvin focuses on endurance is easy to spread and isn't electrically conductive making it safe to use on GPU dies thermal grizzly also makes conductor not liquid metal which we've used to drop 20 degrees off some temperatures than our dee-lighted tests by a tube at the link in the description below so let's start with the X 399 motherboard this is a pretty high on board and there's a reason for it but basically X 3 de9 has been out for a while now it's not inherently exciting there is thread reporter around the corner we already know publicly August is roughly the release timing and they will almost certainly have announcements this week there are rumors online about 24 cores there are rumors about 32 as well but I don't know what'll happen with that so either way adding more cores is going to impact the power consumption it is going to impact the vrm requirements so it makes sense to have new X 399 motherboards this one has copper heat sinks on it actually for the vrm components so that's a bit different it's not entirely necessary to have copper typically normally don't get a huge difference thermally or it's just irrelevant this might be a little different just because here's the thing you look at this motherboard every single square millimeter on this board is filled with something so you start running out of room to just add more phases to spread the heat over a wider surface area the only solution to that is more active or passive cooling or extra of the two because there's physically no more space for a bigger vrm and so you're left with either really be v-power stages and they already have some pretty high-end ones on here so I think this board is running in an IR 3/5 201 pwm which is pretty standard actually they have a 3/5 204 as well not familiar with that one yet but we'll look into it and then 35:56 for the power stages which are 50 amp power stages there are 10 of them and so I think it's a 10 plus 3v RM design but in addition to that basically the the solution here thermally is a bunch of fins and they're copper and nickel plated and shiny and then underneath here there are going to be two fans I think eventually so it should be too small fans under there to help with dissipation and also back here there's another small heatsink and it's just an aluminum sink that's sticking up it's pretty wide more like macro fins and micro fins and that is for a 10 gigabyte Ethernet controller and so that thing I think is pronounced a quanta not positive on it but it's a 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller and they have two additional Ethernet ports on here one gigabit ethernet so they're three total ones ten gigabit and it's controlled via standalone controller as opposed to just straight off the chipset or something like that kind of interesting especially for production pcs like X 399 because you're dealing with potentially environments like ours we're moving gigantic files back and forth across an ass internally or something along those lines so that's the basics of the board still ECC registered memory all that stuff is not really changed from thread Ripper to specs that we've talked about thus far and other videos on the channel and I think everything else is more or less what you see is what you get I guess I'll point out the PCIe assignment so sixteen eight sixteen eight for that and then the rest is you have some M about two ports and things like that a couple of smaller points here there's a six pin for PCIe on this side there is integrated i/o shield that we've talked about in the past and then RGB LEDs pretty much everywhere except they're more tasteful this time they're digital RGB LEDs and I don't there are actually not any in the memory slots or the PCIe slots the backplate has some interesting light into it as well though on this side and then finally this you may not have seen before so on the EPS 12-volt connectors those are plated with metal as well on the outside probably more of a looks thing than anything it fits with the rest of the board I suppose not going to get anything like structural rigidity or anything like that but it looks wise I guess that's what they're going for so that's X 399 I think that pretty much covers that board we can talk about beef 450 now this is an AMD product and I'm gonna take a very brief tangent here and say if Intel and AMD one of them could grow up and stop coffee and the other that would be fantastic because be 450 be 460 be 360 be 370 whatever be 350 rather H 370z 370z to 290 Z 490 all of these things that we've talked about in the past getting really annoying to keep up with so maybe some different names before 50 though it's gonna be AMD's and this board is pretty straightforward so for the vrm on this one there's an inner cell is l9 five seven one two for the PWM and for the drivers its is l6 six two five a we'll talk about this more with Bill joy later SOC is running one high one low and a DDR MOSFETs one high to low for that there's an integrated i/o shield on this one as well for a mainstream board that's a bit different and noteworthy and this one's called the B 450 or s Pro Wi-Fi quick note here on these things the naming is gonna change for gigabyte so this board is called the extreme and this one is not really anything anything related to the previous names but three five seven are the gaming brands that we've kind of come to know with gigabyte seven being high-end and nine sometimes so that's changing to extreme and some other things we'll talk about later but basically three five seven probably going away at least in the next round of motherboards obviously not for the existing round so that's noteworthy but it's just a marketing rebrand anything more than anything it's for memory for this show so gigabyte has RGB memory not inherently exciting to do either of those two things they are doing something a bit different though first all guaranteed B die which I guess is noteworthy there's a thirty-two hundred megahertz kit and one of these two sticks is fake so what they are do and this is interesting given the current memory market is supplying kits of four-ish it's really two plus tiers so there's two real sticks and then two fake ones and the dummies are still they look exactly like the real sticks but internally you're not getting act any actual memory dyes on them the point being that you can populate all four slots if you want to do that if OCD is kicking in or something you really want four slots populate or you think it looks better with RGB LEDs and you can do that with some fake sticks as well and it shouldn't really impact price a whole lot the I guess the other side of things is that from gigabytes perspective they can more or less guarantee that their memories gonna work with their motherboards that's been a bit of a problem with actually risin and until lately so that's part of a marketing play as well but for the memory basically all you need to know is one of them is fake in this kit which is actually kind of cool because memory is expensive enough we're buying four sticks is difficult right now so it's a bit different it's all the most exciting thing in the world I get it but just to preempt the comments you got to give someone credit for doing something different with memory other than putting Novak fluid in it which is I suppose equally pointless wrong performance standpoint but at least this one doesn't look horrible so yeah that's that's more or less gigabytes set up for Computex they have a set of power spikes coming out as well ap 850 GM is the one next to me right here I think G stands for gold and M stands are modular don't know a whole lot about it we'll find out more at a later date but that's it for now xD 99 extreme is the one to look out for the B 450 pro Wi-Fi board is coming for mainstream and the processors as well very soon and as always check the links in the description below for more information subscribe for more go to store document
