of course somebody commented on my last episode of unboxing boxes cool that was a fun episode what they have to say Ryan Cooper seriously who looks forward / who gets excited about a video made about something getting taken out of a box I mean the numbers say otherwise and I too have obviously clicked on this video but within two minutes I came to my sanity and thought why the fuck I might have had to use 20 minutes of my time to see some stuff talked about whilst being taken out of boxes I'm a little more biased towards your informative tough animate video Steve I must admit those are what drew me towards your channel thumbs down on the unboxing so me though welcome back to harbor and box for another episode of unboxing boxes now Ryan is agreed to skip these videos from now on and let us simpletons enjoy the peeling back and ripping of the cardboard and all of its unboxing glory on a serious note though I did actually attempt to stop this series a few months ago and after a few weeks that an episode many of you started to spam me demanding I take some stuff out of boxes and show you the action so I guess long weave unboxing boxes for this episode we have five boxes that have been piling up this week in my studio / benchmark lab / house that I live in and yeah we're going to open them up and see what treasures lie within I should probably start with this box it's from AMD and I believe it has my shining you rise and three samples inside i've probably by now click baited this video with something like rising three unboxing and a heap of you who don't normally watch the unboxing boxes series of click the thumbnail that come and see some shining your eyes and three CPUs being unboxed and instead they've been sitting there watching some Australian sounding knucklehead talk nothing but gibberish for like two minutes without opening a single box and despite nobody actually asking they're probably heading to the comment section now to type something along the lines of the video starts at three minutes you're welcome oh well thanks mate anyway we're fine yeah let's open this box if I get this box open and there aren't any rise and three samples inside this intro we'll just get a hell of a lot more confusing interesting padding here check that out in a minute whew we do have summarized on three samples two boxes there'll be much 500 of 1,300 X 1,300 X and 1,200 the UD well not a whole lot the same at these you guys probably saw my rise on three simulated benchmark video yesterday and yeah pretty much expect those numbers to be spot-on what I don't know and I'm really looking forward to exploring in the review of things like overclocking how well these just overclock and I suspect it at the time they came with the race stealth cooler and have a look this is looking very racist elfish yes indeed so do come with the smaller race stealth cooler which is still a very good cooler I haven't actually got my hands on a race stealth before all the lower end CPUs that AMD sent me didn't come in the retail packaging so I just got the CPU itself so no ah there it is found it so I thought the r8 stealth had a copper vapor chamber in the bottom of it I don't know if this is a different version or if I just have no idea what I'm talking about which is highly likely but anyway as you can see there is no copper was wrecked the Tim here yep that's aluminium the whole way through so yeah don't know how well that will perform but I don't expect the 1300 X and 1200 to put out a huge amount of heat I'll just wipe my finger the standard rate is pretty much twice the height compared to the race stealth but the race stealth fan is pretty much the same I think it's maybe slightly larger diameter actually they look they look pretty much identical moving right along so we have the CPUs themselves they just look like a rising CPUs might drops and b-roll of them but nothing terribly exciting or different to what we've seen very much the same as risin 5 and risin 7 but yeah so the only thing that we don't know yet we have a pretty good idea of performance as I said what isn't yet known and AMD will probably only release this information just before the refugees go live probably just to make our life a little bit difficult they might not is the price so we are guesstimating that the 1,300 X will come in at 130 dollars u.s. and then the 1200 will come in at 110 dollars u.s. and if that's true that's an awesome price for that processor and that alarm pretty much smoke everything from Intel from pretty much the G 4560 R so that'll be really cool if they come in that competitive on price which it's rumored that they will and then what have we got here I know what this is all about that's cool well okay I'm gonna have to get changed I was going to troll you guys this episode and where this checkered shirt which I know due to the YouTube compression looks like a kind of weird mess on camera I was going to make you sit here for probably 30 minutes watching me move around this thing and it looks really weird but I'm going to go get changed and put this on because this is something I begged AMD to get for me and they have no I said train Mikola later so you guys are probably sitting here going Steve that is a super-sweet rising jacket how did you get that and while it wasn't easy let me tell you I went to the upgrade Australia 5.0 event quite a few months ago and my AMD contact was there cool guy named Gareth and he had on a risin hoodie looked pretty cool I thought damn all the AMD fanboys would be loving that on the channel so I said to him you've got to get me one of those and I'll wear it for an unboxing boxes episode is like are they're pretty hard to come by and you made all these excuses and whatever as the night went on I said look if you can get me a rise in hoodie I'll wear it next for the next generation Intel processors for my review might undermine my review slightly and make it look a little biased but yeah I'm not going to do that that's what I told him and he's trying to hold me to that so anyway when he was at he was overseas recently goes well I haven't got the hoodie but something better it's our new rise and jacket and this is it so we sent it with my samples fortunately I've got to work on this make it a bit more comfortable just not going to cooperate so yeah Rhys and jacket as you can see it's a orange inside and yeah it's pretty cool so thanks that Gareth I'll wear the rest of this work for the rest of this unboxing boxes episode so very AMD theme to this one I'll get these alloy ok what to go for next alright laughs move this out of the way you guys keep telling me to get a better knife but the struggle is real and I enjoy it makes the unboxing experience a little more challenging wouldn't be fun if it was easy what have we got here that's all I can see all right now it's upside down holy moly okay I think whatever something pretty good here their new GeForce GTX 1080 TI lightning I believe lightnings a graphics card for MSI this is their fully Unleashed version of the 1080 TI and the size of that box it's kind of like the the Nvidia founders edition style boxes where they slide off at the top I think yes you ready you guys ready for this okay that wasn't as exciting as I thought would be the cards not really presented that well that's still we've been pretty underwhelming let's forget about that okay so don't fall over wowzers I picked up this thing saw it at Computex and did a a video on it and yeah I remember it being big at Computex but now home in the studio it seems even larger comically large really Wow here they're 1080 I believe and like quite wise it's quite similar but when you get to the thickness it makes the 1080 look like a bit of a baby well the first thing you notice right away is that this thing always a tongue well maybe not a ton but I believe it's something like 1.7 G lows so more than a one and a half kilos what a behemoth and you can see well you can see the size of that heatsink there what a beast and the backplate also very beastly I've already got my fingerprints all over it it's actually got a copper heat pipe that runs into end of the car that sort of mental work well the idea is the same as gigabyte with their copper in civics that they say the differences there's actually works and then you've got a translucent plastic strip here and that's all our G be lit same with through here on the card so and then you've got some sort of silvery accents on the front of the card I believe they can be replaced with other colors like red and stuff yeah what an absolute beast and then you've got three three eight pin power inputs sort of standard i/o stuff here dual link DVI it looks like you've got two display ports and two HDMI but yeah well I can't wait to put this on the test bed and see what sort of temperatures that run that and how it overclocked so I can't imagine it ever clocks any better than a sort of standard 1080 TI but all the limitations are supposed to be removed so yeah might be pretty impressive so in case you're wondering the card is 320 millimeters long so yeah you want to make sure you've got an equally large case to fit this thing in I'd imagine having two of them and then out of the box I believe it comes running at the what they call the gaming mode spec so that's a base frequency of 1582 megahertz with a sort of based boost GPU 3.0 brew speed of 1695 mega so it's almost 1.7 gigahertz as a box and of course as we know GPU boost 3.0 will run higher than the advertised frequency and there is a lightning mode that you can hit up the flick of a button and that'll take the boost to something like 17 hundred and twenty one megahertz so some a mild boost but still it's another 26 ish megahertz or something I think it is yeah so a big beasty graphics card the only problem with this card which you've probably guessed other than the size and the fact that it'll put your PCI Express slot under some serious strain is the price so the MSRP for the 1080i is $700 u.s. though to be fair at the moment GPU pricing is kind of messed up expect that to be correct very shortly ba the MSRP is $700 I think for a card this crazy sort of up to about $800 would probably probably be reasonable at the moment it is on new egg though I think it's out of stock it's there for about 870 dollars u.s. so yeah and it's 1500 Australian dollars so mighty mighty expensive yeah keen to try it out on of course few ideas I'm going to do with this card so you'll see those videos probably next week depending on how much rise and three coverage I have to do because there'll be a lot of things there as well anyway that is very cool very keen to play with that move on to the next much smaller and lighter box what do we have here this knife is so useful now flat out cutting through bloody tape I cut towards myself and anything at sharp enough to cut me anymore all right we made it we're in this is cool well I'm actually unboxing something that could end up in your possession so what we have here is some team group T Force Nighthawk RGB memory well that's a they just keep getting evidence of added RGB to the name it's not just three more letters but yeah everything that has RGB out now it's like an entire paragraph just for the product name anyway pause oh yeah so we got that and then we've got an SSD now I'm not reviewing either of these but what I will be doing with both of them is creating a build that I'll be giving away on the channel and there's a few more pieces to come for that bill but it's going to be a brand new build probably go with some sort of Rison process or maybe arise in five we'll have to work it out yeah we building a pretty cool gaming system and I'll be giving away on the channel and I'm doing this with at least two other channels and they're getting the same hardware so we're building three systems and we're doing a group giveaway so that will be really cool and hopefully someone from one of my subscribers gets one of the systems that would be cool so first up we have the l5 light and it's kind of bland cheapish kind of looking design and packaging but I think maybe that's the point because this is pretty much the cheapest 240 gigabyte SSD on Newegg when I checked it's only $80 us for this particular model and it does boast some fairly impressive specifications on the back here it says read speeds 513 megabytes per second which is about as fast as you get with 6 gigabits per second SATA and 400 megabytes per second right so there's certainly decent specifications for a 240 gigabyte SSD and something else worth noting as it does come with a three-year warranty so that's pretty cool as well um yeah so cheap affordable SSD and that will be perfect for the build we're doing you'll get windows and all the essentials certainly on a 240 gigabyte us to stay with a couple of games as well but we'll probably go with a secondary hard drive as well and as for pricing in Australia there is none it's not for sale in Australia moment at least I couldn't find it so yeah moving on we have the nighthawk RGB memory or the T force DD T for ddr4 gaming nighthawk RGB memory so yeah remember that but this is I believe ddr4 3000 yes that's correct it's 2 8 gigabyte sticks up to 16 GB its L 16 timings or 1618 18:38 at one point three five volts yeah this memory is definitely one of the better-looking G because it's available the modules themselves or the heat spreaders on the modules are available in black or it's like it a really dark grey I think or white I'm not actually sure what they've sent us looks like white yeah probably the cool looking ones of the 2 and will no doubt suit our bill they're quite weighty I'll throw up some b-roll these guys in action the LEDs all lit up they are they can be software controls but they also work with the soos aura lighting so that's pretty cool and I believe there's something like nine lighting effects in total at the moment you're probably looking at the default one they give off a really nice cool effect so yeah some of the better looking RGB memory on the market for sure they are quite pricey though though all ddr4 memory is pricey at the moment this 16 gigabyte for example sells for 150 dollars u.s. yeah so moving on doing pretty well so far we've got two rising three processors some memory and SSD and one graphics card that you could probably shave down and make about 8 graphics cards out of and I've got a sweet rising jacket doesn't get any better or does it let's find out anyone see actually this is something I purchased and it looks like this box has done some serious miles this is indeed what I purchase so you guys probably know I've been doing a lot of corex skylake X testing and the 7800 X the six core model skylake x64 model the gaming performance was underwhelming to say the least the 7700 K pretty much smoked at most of the tests came out being around 13% faster overall that was 20 up to 30% faster and some games absolutely obliterated v6 core processor despite the six core processor been clocked at 4.7 gigahertz which was only 200 megahertz lowerin at that point really makes very little flash no difference and quite a few well I shouldn't say quite a few a couple of people or a bit upset with the results and thought the 700x should have been faster we're suggesting that it's the asrock motherboard that is to blame and the as rewards are no good underperforming or whatever Thomas Hardware did test the MSI asrock and soos boards and found that the ads report actually in games performed very well anyway I have to as rock boards they both give me the exact same now there's so I thought you know I like to make sure I'm giving you guys the right benchmark numbers and I couldn't actually get a sample of an extra 90 line board I think because of the heat the platform is receiving manufacturers aren't too keen to send out boards at the moment of vrm overheating issues and just the fact that it's been a controversial platform to begin with anyway I bought the suits prime X 299 a supposed to be a pretty good board and it was to be honest with you the reason I bought it was because it was one of the cheaper boards I didn't really want to spend eight nine hundred dollars on X to night on board and believe me in Australia there's plenty of that price this was one of the cheapest I could find and it was still something like four hundred and seventy dollars ozzie so pretty cool looking board is actually I had two more of those Nighthawk modules they looked very cool on this board this is quite funny here we've got to sticker over the right bank of DIMM slots that says for Intel Core X series processors that's the four core models install the dims to channel C and channel D for dual channel configurations the fact that manufacturers have to put things like this on their boards to explain why I might not be posting for someone with a certain CPU just sort of I guess goes to show how broken this platform is or not necessarily the wrong word confusing rushed my hopeful hand out anyway moving on we all know about that what to say about this board it has three PCI Express 16 time slots it has USB ports sort of that couple of USB ports pretty cool looks like an interesting m2 configuration ice to take it apart later and work have a look at what's under there but that is where the m-dot twos are hiding got some more of this come on you can do it so yeah for four hundred and sixty dollars or the it's a pretty basic looking board the heatsink over the V RMS quite small you do get an eight pin plus or four pin power input so that should be good should be good what else have we got here other interesting features is 8 SATA ports what else we've got crystal sound I'm not too familiar with the Zeus products so I don't know what codec that is it's probably something real Tech by the looks of it though I can't see for sure yeah some USB threes type-c looks like a 3.1 we've also got a 3.1 had our USB 3.1 header on board and that is a gen 2 so that should deliver 30 something what so that'll be good for charging phones and stuff if you have a front panel type-c connector on your case a relatively new case anyway pretty cool looking board really the only reason I bought I'm not going to review it or anything I don't think it I think there's a great demand for use on X 299 boards at the moment yeah I just bought to confirm the results I was seeing with my asrock boards if he spits out the same numbers then I'll be quite confident that it's not a motherboard issue or at least it's not a motherboard issue that's only affecting the asrock boards okay word up to the last package we are absolutely flying through this episode alright that's quite funny at least it has a record another hang-up oh well we got here ah just foam nothing just home another X 299 board except this is the external gaming I 9 so design for the 10 core model by the sounds of it yeah 36 watts those type see front USB headers deliver 36 watts of power let's get straight into this one are you ready you ready there we go fresh board that's a pretty cool looking board that one small plastic to feel pretty substantial looking vrm on this model they obviously have those higher and cora names in mind little heatsink here and I believe that would be cooling the 10 base Gigabit Ethernet science was it 10 base T to invest - I think probably that red port there which have a high-end switching another PC with 10 base Network anyway and we do have three ultra m2 ports so you better kicked up some serious storage there go for some Samsung 960 pros probably we have 10 SATA ports so you'll be able to hang a fair bit of storage off there plus your m2 s not sure how that goes if any of them are shared they probably shouldn't be on this platform with your 44 lanes or whatever you've got we've got Sound Blaster cinema 3 audio looks like a pair of intel land wireless I think it's dual band AC I think it's 802 got 11 AC Wi-Fi so that's kind of cool though not sure how much you'll need Wi-Fi if you've got all this wired connectivity but anyway um what else else very heavy board I believe it's got some custom RGB wiring but it's just under the heatsink here for the chipset you've got your power on and reset button there that's very handy Wi-Fi they include those on the enthusiast grade boards and then you've got four PCI Express 16 time slots interestingly despite the absolutely monstrous looking VRM there is only a single 8 pin power input so I'm not sure if that's going to turn out to be an oversight by asrock or not the vrm itself it's a little bit insane it's a 12 phase design 720 amps now they said to be a hundred and thirty watts of power delivery so yeah you shouldn't have any problems overclocking their variant throttle providing it has sufficient cooling and this heatsink looks pretty decent that's definitely attached very firmly and screwed into place so that should work pretty well for those wondering this board cost three hundred and ninety dollars u.s. so it's not stupid considering the features but it is pricey because that would work out to be no less than five hundred dollars Australian and I mean I paid when was four 60-ish somewhere somewhere between 460 and 480 for the seuss prime board so I expect this will probably come in a bit more than five hundred dollars Australian might even be close at all in six hundred dollars any was so looking at what I was seeing there's plenty of X 299 boards costing around seven hundred dollars Australian I don't think they have the kind of feature this board has so it could be despite being extremely expensive it could actually be quite good value and I think that just about does it for this board I'm keen to plug it in and see how it performs I'll tackle the asou sport first and see if that matches up with what I've been seeing with the Tai Chi and then I'll plug this in and have a play around and yeah we might overclock the eight core CPU on this board and see what kind of results we yes so a very successful unboxing boxes episode I think we got some pretty cool hardware here I know I got the most expensive motherboard I've bought in quite a long time I can't remember the last time I've spent nearly five hundred dollars Australian on just a motherboard but yeah I've got plenty of boards that are that expensive sent to me over the years but yeah buying one different sort of kettle of fish there but anyway yeah talking over spending a lot of money this is three times the price of that board whether it's worth or not I don't know but we'll find out impressive looking nonetheless love the look at this memory can't wait to fire up you guys will have already seen what it looks like I've seen it in other people's videos that was certainly impressive budge and SSD and then we've got my rising three see view which I'm very keen to unplugging I've got a lot a lot of testing ahead of me I'm going to have at least three test systems going at a time because I've got to test them I want to test some older CPUs to compare them as well but that might be a follow up video after I do the day one coverage Friday so that'll be tomorrow we will have that big thirty game benchmark comparing the six core 700x with the quad core 77 okay against the horizon 516 hundreds of the six core model so that's going to be an awesome comparison I can't wait to get that one fully finished them online and yeah and I got my rising jacket so that was a huge win there thanks Gareth love it I don't think I will review any Intel processors while wearing this and I think I'll probably review anything while wearing it but but I do love it it's been good to wear for this episode of unboxing boxes and it's a very nice quality awesome jacket so yeah won't won't skew my opinion in any way but it's still very cool so for those of you that enjoy the unboxing box a series I hope this was an episode that you did indeed enjoy and I hope that Ryan Cooper saw the notification and skip to this one I have a video for you tomorrow Ryan you'll enjoy it thoroughly I'm your host Steve see you again soon guys
