hey guys welcome back to harbor unboxed I normally don't bring you a video on the weekend especially on Sat day but I'm flat out this weekend doing a heap of benchmarking as I explained in my previous video and I thought this morning is a Saturday morning I'd take a bit of a time out and unbox a few boxes I've had sitting around the office that have clicked this week I thought I'd check them out with you guys see what's inside before I get back to benchmarking hopefully I'll have time to edit this and you will be seeing this on Saturday afternoon we'll see how we go for time but anyway without wasting any more time let's get into it I've got looks like this six boxes here in total so quite a few know how long this episode's gonna be why don't I always open these the knife's on the outside anyway first box oh something very nice in here very nice indeed that's not this a four bit of paper that's a sample test report it's definitely not that it is the Galax geforce gtx 1070 and it is the special sniper white XOC or extreme overclocking that's exactly what it is very cool graphics card now let's take a look I'll probably aim to get the review of this up pretty quickly actually I know it's a 1070 and you know we've seen a few 1070 s there's probably not anything terribly new with this one I can get it oh the box why do I always have trouble getting things out of boxes probably should've thrown that away all right what have they got for us here it is indeed white as advertised that's very sleek it's a very gloss white on the front there and same on the back is a really cool backplate here and it looks like they've got sort of like a clear plastic possibly an acrylic around the edge and I'm sure there's RGB lighting that will make that light up and give a really cool effect it's quite thick around here so I'll be sitting in the case like that you can see that bar glowing so that's pretty cool actually looks like a decent-sized cooler what else can we find out about it standard i/o configuration there obviously it's a dual fan design and as I understand that because I was expecting this card I'm hoping to get the review up next week we'll see how he'd go for time but it's very well priced considering it is one of the it's designed to be a sort of top-end 1070 if you will and I think they're charging 430 us over in the States and it's about $600 here in Australia which is really good considering that base model like the bland no factory overclocking simple coolers they start at about 550 so it's a $50 ozzie premium for a good cooler RGB lighting and a really sleek looking white paint job something that's pretty fair should be good but of course we'll have to test it and see how it handles I believe it's factory overclocked by about 6 percent I think the base clocks about 15 94 megahertz and boosts who about 1784 so 1700 and 84 megahertz so that's pretty decent like I said it's about a 6% overclock over the factory cards so you should expect around a 3 to 5 percent gain probably somewhere around there yeah very nice card indeed so if anyone is looking at getting their hands on a 1070 this might be a cool model to get especially in Australia I usually start with the big boxes clear them off the desk so this is Linux biggest or probably the biggest actually alright what do we have inside box number two ah okay Wow we'd have to get all this out I'm not even sure what I'm looking at here three boxes okay so this looks like a very serious gaming headset setup we've got the turtlebeach Elite Pro headset or get your gaming headset so actually there you go around the right way now so we'll take them in have a look at them in a second but they've also sent along their noise cancelling mic so I'm off to give that a bit of a quick test that's pretty cool and they've also set along their tactical audio controller so that allows you to change I that would sit on your desk so you've got a volume knob therefore the volume you've also got a mic level outbound mic boost background noise limiter and game chat volume so wow that's pretty serious stuff there there's a few presets that can be loaded it looks like and you can enable/disable surround mode and enable/disable to mic so that's a lot more than you're getting the usual inline remotes just have a quick look at the headset alright let's check these things out yep that's a black box okay these look pretty substantial actually Wow okay so in the standard package you do get a 3.5 millimeter looks like cable and that has volume control and disable enable mic and this nifty little inline control there so that's pretty cool the volume wheels there that little orange switch there enables disables mic and then you've got this detachable quite flexible microphone so that's the basic mic that plugs in there and it can 360 degree rotate so when you're not using it you can pop it up there and there you go ready for action or there anyway and then there's this loose floppy cable hanging down here and we've got what looks like sort of a micro USB connector that goes in like that clips in quite nicely and that end goes to your PC your sound card yeah so right away they're a very solid feeling headset they're reasonably heavy but nothing ridiculous and they offer plenty of adjustment they swivel really nicely so they should be very comfortable let's go find out Wow yeah they are super comfortable on initial impressions I've wear them well haven't been wearing them for long obviously but they feel really nice and yeah that's really cool when you shake your head around you can feel them they move quite a bit actually but when you stop shaking your head they seem to like reset to the original position so that's really nice I like these a lot of course I'm very keen to see how they actually sound and how well the mic works also we do have that noise cancelling mic it clips into place quite nicely you'll hear it clip in that's quite hard to pull back out but I suppose you don't want it falling out so that's a good thing see that that Michael looks very serious keen to try them out and see the difference between the two yeah very cool and then the final piece of this elite pro series is the audio controller Wow clearly been to a reviewer before it's got a few marks on it but not till I heard he okay so we got an optical cable and we have a USB type B cable or type A or type B and three point five mil audio jack so yeah there's a HEPA connectivity on the rear of this thing and it looks like you can set up two PC mode Xbox mode or ps4 mode so it'll cover the console guys as well so I suppose that's pretty cool even though we're really only interested in the PC stuff yeah that's so you sit that on your desk you plug the headset in you would then use this to your computer and then you have full control over everything just sitting at your desk so you've got your volume wheel there your levels for various things well they move quite nicely I imagine this all lights up when it's got USB power let's put that to the test well there you go it does indeed all line up that looks pretty impressive the volume wheel has LED indicators red indicators dunno how well it's coming out I might throw up some b-roll as I often do that's cool that is a very impressive looking addition to this headset I like that a lot and then even all these buttons the different levels and presets light up so you know where you're at just by looking at that LED light so yeah very very cool indeed I'm not sure how much this add-ons worth but I know their headset itself with the standard mic is a hundred and sixty-five US which seems very fair considering the build quality the comfort obviously I haven't heard the sound yet but if it's anywhere near as good as the build quality in comfort then I expect it to be extremely good and they're 270 ozzie so that's a fairly accurate conversion slight premium possibly for us LG's but still for what it looks like a really nice headset that's a great price I really like these I'll probably test these out today and I'll leave a note in the comments about how they sounded and stuff because I'm not sure if I'll actually get to do a detailed review on them might be out of palm that often Tim we'll see how we go I know he's got a lot on his plate as well plenty of content coming up from Tim over the next few weeks alrighty next package will go with this FedEx one it feels like there's absolutely nothing in that it's yeah feels empty sounds empty level look yep okay what do we have here the new Samsung Evo plus 128 gigabyte micro sd card has an SD adapter in the package yeah that's why it was so light because that's all it was in there but yeah that's 128 gigabyte that little card there I have to admit I'm a little confused by this product I'm not quite sure what's going on but I'm sure it's just because I don't have all the facts yet obviously I haven't tested it and I haven't really researched I didn't even know it was coming but it has arrived and I just quickly checked a few things because I was like I've reviewed the Samsung Evo plus before but turns out it was a slightly different Evo plus which is where the confusing part comes in last year I reviewed the 256 gigabyte micro SD card which looks virtually identical to this one but it's apparently different so this is the Evo plus where Plus is written as PL us and the model I looked at was the Evo plus with the plus symbol so yeah there's two Evo pluses both microSD cards both designed for 4k cameras extremely confusing Samsung says that this model will sustain 100 megabytes per second for the read and 19 megabytes per second for the write and apparently the previous model that I reviewed currently achieve around 48 megabytes per second of sequential read which is again really confusing because I tested the 256 gigabyte model and that was easily good for 90 megabytes per second read and write it was very impressive high performance drive so I'm not quite sure what's going on and what's different about this one so I guess we gonna have to call it the old Evo plus and the new Evo plus so again extremely confusing for us there are viewers and no doubt for you the consumer but anyway the new model is apparently leveraging Samsung's new advanced NAND technology to achieve impressive speeds and capacities except again the speeds seem the same based on my previous testing of the 256 gigabyte model and the capacities also seem the same as this comes in 64 gigabyte 128 gigabyte and 256 gigabyte just as the previous Evo plus did so yeah very confusing product here from Samsung not quite sure what's going on there but I'll probably crack this out do a gonna testing and try and work out what the difference is I'm also very keen on the pricing there is no pricing information or at least my brief search I wasn't able to find any pricing for this product but yeah Samsung's new Evo plus again all right we have a package here from what looks to be Logitech based on the tape very small box usually Logitech boxes are quite large so what do they have for us today ah interesting these aren't new so these are the j-bird X threes they've been out for a while now I definitely won't be reviewing these but we'll take a look at them anyway back when Matt was helping me with the channel he looked at what I think it was the j-bird the freedoms and they were very cool he loves them see a nice clean packaging as they always do for the Jaybirds and for those of you that don't know this is a wireless earbuds set so although I won't be reviewing these because reviews went up on these late last year we did review the freedoms last year so I'll just have a quick look at these and see how they differ from the freedoms as you can see compared to the frames think the main thing is here that they are bigger earbuds the freedoms were super sleek very small because the battery was down in the controller here whereas the batteries for these are in each earbud which makes the earbuds themselves quite a bit heavier but I've from reviews I've seen they do stay in your ear quite well probably not as well as the frames because that extra weight but they still do a good job of hanging on the charging method is very similar so you just clip this on to the controller like so plug that into a USB charger or the port on your PC or whatever you have I believe it's about an hour or so it takes two charges it obviously depends on how you're charging them whether it's with a you know a dedicated charge or offer USB port or whatever but fully charged it will last up to eight hours which is the same time as the freedoms and it also offers a quick 15 minute charge feature which will see it lasts about an hour so if you're going on a jog or a run for about an hour and they're flat you only need 15 minutes charge them up and you're good to go but one disadvantage with the design is they don't include an external battery pack which you can have pre charged clip that on and have that charge the main battery while you listen to music on the fly so that feature doesn't exist but you do have the quick charge so that kind of makes up for it the earbuds and all that stuff are much the same you get the small medium and large there's the silicon ones apparently the phone ones have been changed they're a bit more sticky they feel a bit better but again all of it is sweat proof like the freedoms are so you there pricey but that said they are a premium any wireless headset and really that's pretty much what you pay for a premium any wireless headset I know Matt loves his freedoms we got two sets of the freedoms last year for you a white pair and a black pair Matt took one of those left one with me and yeah I've spoken to him since and he thinks they're brilliant really enjoys them he uses them regularly and the set I had I gave earlier in the year I think was around January I palmed him off to my dad because he is a regular gym goer does a lot of jogging he hits the gym pretty much every day so good on him I certainly don't but yeah he loves them swears by them so he's been enjoying them can't get over how good they are and wishes they were in his life a bit earlier anyway so that's good so yeah people who do a lot of sport activities and that kind of stuff that's who they're for moving on we'll see what we got here alright so as you guys are probably aware next week I'm giving away a full of Rison seven 1800 X system which has been pretty much brought to you by Thermaltake they were responsible for making the competition happen and they will be footing the bill for sending the system globally so that's very cool and they provided six of their 120 millimeter ring plus fans which look amazing and as you will see next week I've configured them around the case but we didn't have an exhaust fan and we really needed a 140 millimeter exhaust fan and when I initially built the system I just chucked a fan that I had laying around in there and hope that we could upgrade it so when I took the system the thermaltake they're like yep that's not gonna do we need our 140 millimeter ring fan so we opened up this box stuck one in and then they have sent the other two that are left in this package for me to use in a build or whatever so I thought that's cool because we've previously I hadn't looked at the 140 millimeter versions we had a bit of a preview of the 120 millimeter versions a few months ago but these are basically the same deal just bigger I actually think the effect looks better as well I'm not sure if there's more LEDs or it's the same amount based on what I've seen it looks like it's probably the same amount of LEDs so they spread a bit further apart and I actually think that looks better it gives a cooler effect in my opinion but yeah so I've got two of those and the digital controller so I'll probably feature them in something before too long I've got the in the side of this case here I've got the 120 millimeter versions they just go through the rainbarrow cycle at the moment but they look pretty cool they are expensive fans of course oh because they are thermal takes most premium fans they do offer cheaper fans so if these are out of your price range they will have something else for you but the 140 millimeter versions are a hundred and twenty US in a pack of three with the digital controller so again quite pricy for fans but they are really cool fans and they can do quite a few cool effects there's a digital controller which is completely software controlled I know right now Thermaltake are having a few hitches with the software that runs them on some platforms anyway I know Verizon right now it's not working at all so there's a bit of a USB to glitch there I believe but they have assured me they are working on that as we speak and there will be a major upgrade to the software soon and hopefully that will address a few other problems that people have been having with the software but for me it's been working fine on the Intel systems that I've tried them on they work it works really well but it's a new product so there'll be some teething issues then we'll take obviously aren't known for their software development so there'll be a little bit of catching up to do there but they are dedicated to making these work really really well improving the software so you will see updates soon all right last one awesome awesome awesome awesome this isn't anything new but it is a new arisin 1800 X chip for the giveaway PC I had to acquire another retail 1800 X chip AMD work before they did provide the processor which is this fellow here but it came a bit late so I didn't want to delay building the giveaway that was a heap of work to do as you will see next week so I went and got another CPU and put that in the system and they have reimbursed me in a way with another one which I can use for testing so as you can see brand new horizon 7 1800 X so we interesting see if this one over clocks better than the one I had and if it's better with memory support because I was having a hell of a time getting even our ddr4 3200 to work on my previous chip tried heaps of tuning of voltages and things and it just wasn't playing ball so maybe this chip will be a bit better we'll have to see for those of you unaware the rise in 718 hundred x is retailing for five hundred dollars u.s. or six hundred eighty five dollars AUD which is an exceptional price because it is a core i7 sixty nine hundred K competitor it's roughly half the price delivers the same or better performance in productivity workloads and the gaming performance is also very good as well it's getting better all the time as we've seen with the new ashes of the singularity build and dota 2 as well and yeah I'm sure there's more to be discovered but having said all that though I recommend you don't buy this processor and instead get the horizon 7 1700 as that's something like 30% cheaper I think it might actually be exactly 34 percent cheaper anyway it doesn't matter it's a lot cheaper it's 330 u.s. or 450 ozzie and at that price it is a phenomenal Buy you guys probably saw we put it into Tim's editing rig and overclocked it I think it was a week or so ago now overclocked the performance was exceptional we actually exceeded the 1800 X overclocked you should get pretty close to an overclocked 1800 X I mean they're pretty much the same ship there's just a little bit of bidding going on but depending on how lucky you are with that silly candelato you might even get a better chip than what you would have if you had a board an 1800 X so yeah I've said it plenty of times on the channel but I'll say it again anyone who's looking at building a bit of an all-rounder so you do a bit of gaming some sort of productivity whether it's content creation or whatever else the horizon 7 1700 is the chip to get there's pretty much nothing that competes with it and it makes the entire Broadway Lee line at its current price and completely pointless and not worth touching so there you have it so yeah a successful unboxing I think I'm very keen to test this guy out see how cool it runs held overclocks power consumption and gaming performance all that kind of stuff so they'll probably unit be in a review next week like just squeeze that in somewhere with all the content next week there'll be a video pretty much every day from this point forward for at least the next week so that shouldn't satisfy the YouTube algorithm quite well now yeah fun unboxing we've got a new processor we've got a new graphics card we've got a new micro SD card which will work well in my 4k camera only a 64 gig car at the moment so 128 giggle mean I can sit here and talk longer without filling it up so you guys love that it's got the 14 140 millimeter ring fans got a awesome looking headset here from Turtle Beach I'm gonna go test that out right now I'll probably use it for editing this video and I might even try and play some games tonight actually that's not gonna happen there's no way but anyway got the j-bird freedom so yeah a lot of cool stuff really I love this controller that's a really cool feature I'll have to find out what that's worth I'll put a link in the video description so you guys can check it out but I reckon that will be well worth the investment to pair with that headset because yeah that's very cool so that's all for this one I hope you guys enjoyed unboxing some boxes with me keep your eye out for a review on this graphics card I'll be doing a lot of testing with this there's some memory scaling stuff coming up I will be using this processor for that assuming it does what I want it to do and this new guy will probably end up in my camera so yeah thanks for watching guys I'm your host Steve I'll catch you again soon
