Month of July, Custom Ryzen Builds, Threadripper, Core-X & Fun Unboxings!

2017-08-20
welcome back to how we run boxed for last month's recap last month we produced 24 videos covering a wide range of products and topics and yet this is the recap I'll be quickly touching on every video that we did put up last week and making a few notes here and there and maybe even talking about a few comments from you guys so let's get into it shall we Tim kick-started things in July with his the ultimate gaming experience video as he checked out 1440p at 165 Hertz gaming Tim looked at a lot of games and really enjoyed his time testing the focus of the video though was mostly on Tim's right hand which spent the entire time under the desk and this amused many of the viewers there was an interesting number of theories and the comment section as to what was going on there but the truth is Tim bloody shoulder the day before moving some furniture and he found it very painful to hold his arm up on the desk so yeah that's really all there is to that one but it seemed like a fun story for many of you anyway moving on Tim also checked out the awesome little gigabyte or gtx 1070 gaming box and for this one he did manage to keep both his hands on the table and his owns are working quite well by now for those of you rocking a new ultrabook or some kind of laptop that can't play games but would very much like to that I suggest checking out the gaming box as it is a pretty cool device after that it was time for me to finally do some work so I created some content I you guys with my top 5 CPU picks prior to the release of Verizon 3 and thread Ripper I had a lot of fun with this one and it stirred up quite a lot of discussion in the comment section hopefully I'll have time to do an updated version soon now that we do have a few new processes to look at having stirred up things on the CPU front I thought was time to get all nostalgic and look back to AMD's GPU glory days with the Radeon HD 7950 I've played a few games on the old 7950 and then threw up some benchmark graphs and the results were quite surprising for testing I did use the gigabyte HD 1750 and this was the very card I used in my initial review back in February of 2012 so again that was a nice blast from the past then it was time for what is becoming one of my favorite segments unboxing boxes there was plenty on desk for episode 31 though most of it got pushed aside the first few seconds into the video I got some pretty sweet gear for that one my GT 10:30 graphics card that I purchased also arrived sadly though I just haven't had time to test that one yet you guys keep requesting the GT 1030 versus rx 550 comparison and I keep saying it's coming but yes so far it hasn't anyway I'll try and get that one done probably next month I'll test heap of eSports titles and some games it should be a good video something look forward to sucking up most of my time last month was Intel's new core x-series and I've been putting off looking at the KB like X parts so this is what I tackled next I checked out the confusing core i7 77 40 X and Core i5 70 640 x aka crappy Lake the cheeki title seemed to gain more attention than the slew of benchmarks on that one I'll definitely keep that in mind for future videos if you happen to own the viewsonic XG 2703 - GS monitor you'll want to make sure you check out Tim's performance and calibration guide in typical harbour unbox fashion Tim covers the products performance from top to bottom so yeah if you do own this model or you're thinking about buying it be sure to check that video out all this high refresh rate monitor talk from Tim got me all worked up in July I thought it was about time I did a bit of a look into this high refresh rate gaming so I built a rise in gaming PC and I added the aoc 240 Hertz TP gaming monitor to it I did this with my creatively named to rise and watch PC build it did look quite cool the build and it ran very nicely I had a heap of fun with that video and thankfully you guys seem to enjoy it as well then it was time for course as new nx500 SSD review basically the nx500 was a modified version of the existing MP 500 series but unfortunately the new retail price makes it a bit of a hard purchase of justified overall though a solid performance just needs to be a little more cost effective well actually probably needs to be a lot more cost effective but anyway good SSD not such a good price up until this point I've mostly produced what I would say is easy to create content or easier than some of the content I do and basically by that I mean I didn't spend a week or so to produce any of it this was because I was slowly piecing together my massive 30-game comparison between the core i7 7800 X and the core i7 7700 K a he put time and effort went to that one that was a big in and boy was it a lot of fun I won't spoil the results for that one but if you are interested to see how those two processes compare in games I recommend you check it out quite amusing in the comments section the top three comments actually had absolutely nothing to do with the video and now actually of course rise and related I get you guys like rising but boy oh boy going to be a rough old time in the comments section if by some miracle Intel get serious and beats AMD in terms of price versus performance with their 8th gen series well going to be a bloodbath for those of you missing our boy Tim he was back at it again with another or ask gaming box type video this time testing a truckload of games personally I enjoyed this video and found it very interesting sadly it wasn't that well-received certainly not as well as received as I thought it deserved and I think that's because most thing to miss the point of this device or maybe we did anyway it was a good video in my opinion well worth checking out if you are considering buying the gaming box - - hmm I probably shouldn't do my own sound effects anyway that was the sound of the thread Ripper hype train making its monthly appearance as it did so on July 15th as aim they officially announced the 1920 X and 1950 X along with some information regarding a couple of the rise in three CPUs it was an exciting video at the time but for obvious reasons you can safely skip that one now even after watching the core i7 7700 ok dismantle is 7 100x and 30 games even then if you're still keen to pick one up well we had a look at the overclocking temperatures and power consumption for you I wore a white shirt for that video and I don't know it just didn't didn't seem to work as well as it normally does so I ended up trolling myself in the comments on that one and that little gem was awarded top comment so I win for me I guess then we have Tim back at at once again with a very cool video looking at how well integrated graphics namely intel's integrated graphics works in games or maybe i should say rather how well it doesn't work anyway jim tested out 31 games using various quality settings and reported these findings if you have a laptop with integrated graphics and you keen to work out what games you can and can't play i recommend giving this video a once-over once tim was done turning our favorite games into PowerPoint slideshows i logged into the matrix for some simulations rising three simulations to be precise and here i looked into how the Rison 3 1200 and 1300 x should perform those results turned out to be very accurate but of course this is now a video you can comfortably skip since we have the real deal on hand that said though as there often are there were quite a few humorous comments on that one pretty much all unrelated to the content itself but they were still funny nonetheless you guys always give me something to laugh at but if those jokes don't mesh with you they maybe this next video will alright that was a was a bit lame but anyway I'll keep the dad jokes to a minimum so anyway Intel mesh does overclocking fix skylake X in short not really but it certainly helps oh boy oh boy was this a good'n unboxing boxes episode 32 was a blast and for a few reasons firstly you guys seem to really enjoy the intro on that one I've been experimenting and messing around the intros but yeah you guys really seem to like this one the highlight of course though was the rising 3cp using you guys also seem to like the present AMD sent along with them that was pretty cool I won't spoil it for those sinners who haven't seen the episode yet but go check it out it was quite good after I finished unboxing boxes it was time to piece another massive 30 game comparison together this time comparing the horizon 5 1600 against the core i7 70 100x basically the r5 1600 just highlighted how bad the price versus performance ratio of Intel's new Scylla X range really is if you have any interest in either CPU and you do plan on gaming I recommend you check that video out I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed unless your Intel fanboy in which case skip that one and let's check out msis mammoth GTX 1082 I not much else really needs to be said about this next video the MSI GTX 280 Lightning Z actually sorry Zed oh I'm an Australian I'll say Zed was a beast an expensive beast but a beast all the same sadly the Lightning Zed didn't really overclock any better than other gtx 280 our models that we've seen previously but it did look amazing and it ran really cool so for many that will be enough now do you play overwatch what about csgo maybe rocket League Rainbow six siege or perhaps quake champions no none of those games well then you need to have a serious look at your life watch Tim's video and educate yourself on what you're missing out on actually I'm getting a bit off-track in Tim's video is more about how well are these esports tiles played on riser rather than a review of the games themselves but anyway another cool video from Tim there and yeah definitely check that out if you haven't next up we have one of my absolute favorite videos last month for this one I checked out the new Corsa t1 race gaming chair and I had a heap of fun doing it the main reason I had a lot of fun with this one is because I got my two daughters involved and they did have a great time building this chair with dad yeah it would be a lot of fun I also showed you guys some rare behind-the-scenes harver unboxed benchmark lab footage so yeah that one if you're interested in the benchmark setup and how I go about my business then I recommend checking that video out all that stuff's in the second half of the video after clowning around with the Corsair t1 race gaming chair it was back to business time to check out the new rise and three CPUs for real this time no matrix simulations Rison 3 pretty much delivered and I'm a big fan of the r3 1200 at 110 dollars u.s. the 19 minute long review is packed full of benchmarks and I compared Verizon 3 with every current generation CPU priced under 350 dollars u.s. then it was time for a classic is the X worth it video this was a pretty quick video that I slapped together but I included an important message I thought here about overclocking it may be the world's briefest guide on rising overclocking but it still made the point very well Verizon is hallor easy to overclock go do it people capping off the month we have you'll never guess it go on try I bet you can't actually there's probably a good chance you can if you said more the red ripper news without either a product in hand or any benchmarks then you nail that again AMD decided to just ahead of the thread release leaked out a few more juicy details as if it was possible to create any more hype anyway that brings us to the end of July what happened last month and amazingly looks set for an even busier month this month it's been pretty crazy so far already so who knows what else we're going to run into we also hit 100,000 subscribers last month that's probably worth mentioning and saying a big thank you to everyone who has subscribed to the channel and continues to watch all our content we might even reach 150 K this month probably a bit ambitious but we'll get closer I can't believe we're almost already there and yeah who knows we might even got a hit 200k by the end of the year let's see how it goes but yeah I just want to say genuinely a big thank you to everyone it's just amazing as always I have some really big benchmark videos plans plus a new series that I won't go into too much detail or spoiler thing but it should be pretty mega I'm super excited about it tons of time and energy have gone into planning it and hopefully I will be announcing it and about a week or two so yeah stay tuned for that it's gonna be pretty exciting Tim's also got some really cool stuff planned he'll be covering that soon on the channel so you know set to be another great month anyway that's going to do it for this one if you like this video please take a moment to help us out and hit the like button subscribe if you haven't already and be sure to
