Unboxing Boxes # 21: Unboxing Asrock Z270 SuperCarrier, Fanless GTX 1050 Ti + Content Spoilers!

2017-02-20
hey guys welcome back today I'm stopping to do a bit of unboxing something I haven't done for a while and enjoy doing i know there's quite a few of use and enjoy the unboxing boxes series but yeah just taking a break from benchmarking there's a heat going on at the moment next month in particular is going to be crazy and i'm sure many of you know why but on the schedule for just this week alone so we did the ark survival GPU benchmark video yesterday so i hope i satisfied those guys who have been asking for that constantly then possibly after this video I've got to squeeze in a review of creative soundblaster katana so that's a really cool sound bar very pricey but still very very good quality then I think so the day after so does that bring us up to Wednesday doesn't that would be so wednesday i have planned pretty cool video actually i'm going to be comparing the g 45-60 once again i've done a heap of jus 45-60 content but this is another one that you guys have been asking for comparing it to the G 3258 so the unlocked anniversary edition dual core processor so that will be a bit of a pentium brawl but yeah be comparing the G 3258 I think overclocked to it's at least 4.6 gigahertz I don't I can't remember what I actually got it so I did the benchmarking last week it's a bit of a blur that I what since then but anyway I'll be testing you the G 3258 overclocked to whatever I could get it to and comparing it to obviously the G 45-60 not overclocked and see how the dual-core goes against the four threaded processor in a couple of games they are very interesting results and it will be very useful for those of you that have a well can't actually upgrade from the G 3258 to the G 45-60 but yeah if you're thinking of getting a new motherboard and doing all that interesting nonetheless then I have got a review planned and hopefully the price is actually in one of these boxes it's a graphics card that palette set me it's very cool I think it might be this one but anyway so yeah then then I then the big one that I'm working I've been working on this one for about two weeks now is I did if you recall I title that is the GTX 980 TI still worth buying and that video was hugely popular you guys really like that so I'm doing a follow-up and the first part will be a two-part series against but the first part will be is the GTX 970 worth buying and that'll be tested stock and overclocked and then I'll be following that up with some r9 390 testing to see how those to compare in its a lot of games released last year and I've also added for honor and resident evil 7 to the mix as well so the heck goes two games actually provide some interesting results so I think all up there's 20 games that I've tested for the GTX 970 both out of the box and overclocked and yet again I'll be doing the same with the r9 390 and then next week ya can't really talk about next week right now but it's going to be good so anyway not getting distracted with what's coming up anymore let's get on with what we have here I will start with the biggest lot actually the biggest box so I've got a case box down here but we'll start with this one will clear all the stuff out of the way and then we'll check out the case that I've got all right so we have some foam on top we have a lot more foam making the usual mess that I make when we do this oh cool this has been sitting at my front door for about two and a half weeks now probably should have opened as a bit sooner for those of you don't know this is as roxz 270 supercarrier motherboard believe it's their first ever motherboards are branded as a super carrier take a look it's got a sort of got that msi take titanium look to it but yeah this is a very cool motherboard very expensive mother I'll get it out and show you guys so I believe this is priced currently on sale in the US for about 380 us and it's about 570 Ozzy so definitely one of the more high-end said 270 boards out there so three hundred eighty dollars us that makes it a bit more expensive than I think it's the msi Zed 270x power gaming titanium and the sous ROG Maximus 9 formula if i remember correctly I think that's also a gigabyte said 270 gaming 8 board I think I took the gaming 7 in this thing but anyway yeah so it's got a bit of competition but as far as i know this is the only high-end dead 270 board to offer the five gigabit ethernet which is pretty cool so that's just that red port there if you can see that so not one gigabit fiber gigabit so five times faster providing you have all the other hardware to take advantage of it but hopefully that starts to come out this year other cool features are you get dual intel lan as well so the two ports that aren't red you get older you get you get 802 11 AC Wi-Fi you get support for four times SL lies if that's still a thing but yeah you do support their Thunderbolt 3 and it looks like either type C USB as well obviously purity sound for which we've seen and tested already and that's the real deal looks like we've got eight SATA ports and interestingly there's a 6-pin PCIe power input here presumably to send more power at least 75 watts to something no one hundred percent short that is yet they'll probably well I'll try to review this board no promises like I said there's a lot going on at the moment all right let's go for the next biggest fox pay for this time these are some critical components that I'm waiting on for a build that I've been planning on doing for a while so Margie 45-60 content again a lot of you guys were requesting that I do a full build with the G 45-60 and the idea of that bill would more to be your focus on obviously the CPU the motherboard memory and the graphics card because they'd be the sort of core component should need to extract the performance I'd be showing so I think I'd be going with a h110 board purely because they're really cheap good value so rather than a be 250 there a fair bit more expensive I think they'd probably an asrock h110 board then powering that system i will be using this cooler master light 500 watt power supply because it is cheap so to my knowledge I don't believe this particular model is selling in the US although the unit supports active power correction it's working range is only 200 240 volts so that means this model won't actually work in the US or anywhere else that doesn't use between 200 and 240 volts here in Australia this model is selling for $65 which for an 80 plus certified ag+ certified power supply that's actually really good value and I mean it's not going to be an amazingly high quality power supply because it is $65 kind of interesting way of protecting it but yeah it's pretty cool well smell those chemicals so just it's only 140 millimeters long so very compacted or fit in those small mini ITX cases the design to take standard ATX power supplies 120-millimeter Fanning on the top 500 watts output and it looks like it is a single 38 amp rail so that's definitely going to be enough to power any sort of mid-range too low in gear without any problems and as you've guessed it's a non modular power supply which is hardly surprising giving the prior tag and you do have the rainbow colored sleeves as the guys often call them or rainbow colored cables rather the power cables sleeved and so is the six pin or actually that's the 810 cpu connector the 6-pin PCI Express connector is not sleeved but you know like I said it's a $65 e power supply and that's about as cheap as a d-plus certified units get down under see anyway this will be powering my G 45-60 build which hopefully i'll be getting done I don't know am I to try and squeeze that on the weekend we'll see how we go I've got all the bits i think what we'll see yes a power supply check yeah I know you guys are going to be a little confused by this because the G 45-60 is a locked processor it can't be overclocked and it runs very cool with the Intel box cooler so there is absolutely no need to spend a dollar mccool and i would recommend you don't accept coolermaster had this on offer and I thought yeah I'm going to grab that because the way to use it something else down the track and it's their hyper 212 led turbo cooler and I mean I'm sure you guys are familiar with the 212 series from coolermaster they're really good budget coolers but this one I wanted to grab it because it's pretty amazing value it is fifty dollars Ozzie but again that's pretty cheap for you know a good quality cool you get a pair of LED 120-millimeter fans and it has a cool little visual feature I'll grab out of oxen to show you guys probably easier since I've got it right here it is very nice for a budget cooler I've got to say or a fifty-dollar cooler anyway so you're the only downside of this cooler is it comes in red or black but it's technically red is a common theme here because the LED fans only come in red and while they do look very cool they're red so you want to have read as part of your build to really be able to use this cooler you can I believe I thought it came with a black cover as well it doesn't look like it does so as I understand it it can be purchased with either a red orb cover on top I thought that being a changeable but obviously and I thought I thought interchangeable covers at this price point would be pretty amazing oh yeah this one comes with the red anodized cover on top which you know that looks pretty cool for a fifty-dollar cooler and look even better with the red LED fans but yeah it's not all just show you can see it's quite a thick heatsink that you know it's obviously a hundred mil 120 millimeters tall and you have for direct contact copper heatpipes so that will make for some decent cooling i would say decent cooling performance and the other great thing about this cooler is that it is universal it can be universally mounted or as universal support that is to say you can stick it on an AMD or intel platform system and it will work just fine so it has pretty much all the latest mainstream even the LGA 2011 socket it will work with works with am3 am3+ obviously and it works with a m4 so upcoming aim for which we hopefully will see shortly yeah that's pretty cool so maybe some budget I am for builds this thing will find its way into so anyway there's a brief look at the cooler master to 12 LED turbo yeah that's right LED turbo all right I feel like I'm getting through this a bit more or a bit quicker than I normally do but it's probably still give me a 20 minute episode some of you guys like some of you guys don't ah this always meant to get a long time ago under embargo but didn't happen so I don't really know if I'm going to review it now so sorry about that one corsair but corsair have sent me their simet our pro RGB what is it it's for I think it's for mobile gaming I mobile MMO gaming so neither of which I'm really that into but yeah new corsair mouth I'll take another look at it you guys will have already seen reviews on it I'd say it came out quite a few weeks ago now so it was probably i think was early january this thing was released so I'm getting it very late what's in field very nice but yeah it's a mouse medium sized mouse with many buttons and I believe this can be moved around and do all kinds of fancy things but I haven't actually watched any of the reviews on it the I don't expect that i'll end up revealing this I would have if we had a got it for the first rounder reviews but yeah the cats kind of out of the bag on that one but anyway let me know you guys think all right now I'm hoping this is a graphics card indeed it is now before your sigh because it is a GTX 1050 TI and I know that the RX 470 is better value but the cool thing about this G 2 x 1050 2i is that it's fanless absolutely no fan at all I will be going and testing this right away as soon as I finished editing this video and uploading it but yeah it'll be probably hopefully I can get this done within two days have a look that is pretty cool so there it is calm x + GT x 1050 TI it's still a very tiny graphics card it is a dual slot design but most of the 1052 eyes are you can see they still we've gone with a small PCV the heatsink obviously extends the height of the card and the length by a bit but yet still very compact it looks like it would be under 200 mil long it's got to heat pipes that extends out from presumably the base up into the heat sink itself and yeah I have no idea what temperatures this runs that they didn't make any claims i also don't know the price it's not on sale yet but yeah very cool indeed so if you're building like a really quiet say home theater pc designs for 1080p gaming or whatever and you don't want yeah it's really annoying having a computer making sounds in your living room or behind your TV or wherever you have the pc so i believe that they're the kind of situations that this will be designed for and in the past i have built a completely silent gaming home theater pc and it was so cool because you know even though that the new graphics cards like the where is it don't know if I have it I have the gigabyte g1 gaming model of the 1050 TI that's really quiet as well but every now and then you do just hear the fan for gamers with their headphones on a stuff clearly not an issue but I think for home theater PC usage silent computing is the way to go but anyway I won't go on too much about this because i do do plan to have a review yeah i think i said it was probably thursday anyway we'll work that out later spent another review goes if there's any hiccups or whatever sometimes i take a bit longer than expected all right the last item is is the cooler well this is a bit awkward I was meant to have been sent the master box 3 light which is a fifty-dollar us or $52 Ozzy case and I've just realized it looks like they've sent the master box 5 which I've actually used a little while ago in a 1440p build a few guys recall using a GTX 1070 a few other bits and pieces I think it was a core i5 6600 k anyway it's not important now via somebody has to contact coolermaster and try and get the right case ASAP so that's a bit annoying because i was hoping to get that build done this weekend yeah i'm not going to bother opening this up because i think i've already unboxed a cooler master master box 5 before a few episodes ago it was a white model I don't know what version we have here but it doesn't really matter because it's the black model I won't be using it anyway because it's not the master box 3 light well have to be disappointing I had to plan to tell you a little bit about the master box like three but we'll skip that and will pretty much wrap this up so that concludes this episode of unboxing boxes not quite sure what number episode we're up to but I'll work that out as you guys probably know so I'm not doing this as a weekly feature because I'll sort of go to the point where I only had like two or three privates for the most to unbox and they weren't always terribly interesting or as I think we've got you know sort of different products see which made it a bit more interesting than the norm I hope and yes stay tuned because later in the week we will have that pentium virol where I'll be testing the G 45-60 against the G 3258 overclocked followed by what should be a really cool video looking at how the GTX 970 performs in all the latest games or twenty of the more recently released two games yeah so with that I'm your host Steve and I'll catch you guys again soon
