Unboxing Boxes #41: Aorus GTX 1080 Gaming Box, Evolv Shift, Seasonic Prime, Creative Halo & More

2017-11-18
ah welcome back to another episode of unboxing boxes I remember what it was called see good job Steve and yeah this is a series where I take things out of boxes and show you guys and I've been doing it for a while now I haven't done one for many weeks now and quite a few of you who are fans of the series have been hounding me to do one so guess what I've got a couple of boxes and we're gonna open them and see what's inside for those of you new to the channel this is just a silly little series that's very different to the normal sort of content on the channel where we do sort of serious in-depth benchmarks and comparisons with GPUs and CPUs and whatever else this is just light-hearted to sit back and mess around and see what we've got started off as a bit of an insight to see you guys or show you guys what sort of stuff we get on a fairly regular basis to feature on the channel or test or whatever we may end up doing with them I think what we have here is a pair of cases by the looks of these big boxes that are sort of shrink wrapped in the PC case gear black garbage bags that often refer to them as but we'll get into these two first and then we have three other sort of normal issue size packages that we'll check out I'll start with the biggest of the two which is this one here okay black plastic off first probably just to uh so first up this big box here looks to contain the fantex evolved shift X computer case this is pretty cool case from what I can tell from what I've seen on other channels it's not new I'm not the first person I box it by any stretch of the imagination but I did want to do a build with this case I'll probably do it with this one first we'll get to that in a minute oh yeah the box we'll take a quick look I won't go too in depth of this one because yeah there's reviews and whatnot so the unboxing won't be anything new yep it's upside down of course there's no way that's all fitting and the shot is there I think I'm probably gonna have to get some b-roll of this separately because I'm not sure if that's fitting on the top of the frame right so add a guess I would say the top of this case is currently being cut off probably not feeding in the shot how about that it's not working as you can see it's a very tall and skinny case and there's something loose in it that's the accessory box well that is a pretty awesome looking mini ITX case it's very as you can see probably twice as long as you probably expect it to be since it is a mini ITX case but this one is designed to fit full-length graphics cards without a problem and full-length graphics cards with water blocks on them no less so you can put a full custom liquid-cooled loop in this thing radiator BGA block cpu block the whole lot and with the glass panels on both sides you can shot off quite well and it can be laid flat down like that so you can see all the liquid cooling stuff from the top yeah very cool or of course it can stand up and be out of shot at the top but yet kind of brings new meaning to the term tower style case anyway I won't go too far into this because I will be doing a custom build in it soon I might do something like an X 299 not liquid-cooled building it with the new asrock mini ITX but which I hope to have for the next episode of unboxing boxes anyway for those interested it is a hundred and seventy dollars u.s. that's about two hundred and twenty dollars E and I think you can buy it for $220 Ozzie at PC case key and the other guys that send this out so big thank you to them alright box number two looks like we have a bonus box on top of this one okay and yes we have the fantex evolve shift which is basically the baby version of that case I suppose you could say okay so this Alice ed is the smaller version very similar design as you can see about just smaller more compact and it'll still fit a full length graphics card which you'll go there there is the gtx 1070 TI as an example so that is pretty cool you can see it from around that side hanging down below where the motherboard will go but in a very cool case and I plan to do quite powerful building this probably Rison seven seventeen hundred overclocked to four gigahertz I will be using this little as rock board that I unboxed on unboxing boxes quite some time ago now it's been just been sitting in the studio collecting dust but this will be going in there with some other very cool hardware shortly so you'll see that build on the channel very soon again I won't go into too much detail or any detail about these other than sort of show you and talk about the price now this one is a hundred and ten dollars u.s. and it turns out to be about a hundred and fifty dollars Aussie so for the quality of the case it's actually a really reasonable price love the way this top opens up anyway more on that when I get around to doing my build what is in the mystery box it's very heavy ah this will be handy it's a fan text air cooler or the build I just talked it just spoke about so if the TC 12 LS and I so it's a low-profile cooler and very low-profile as you can see there black anodized heatsink that looks very cool nickel-plated base and it looks like we've got six heat pipes six millimeter heat pipes and so that will probably go on there something like that so that will be good all right let's get into this box and see what we have here I honestly have no idea who this is from or what it is hopefully it's something interesting whoa oh yes that's I think you'll agree this is quite interesting especially for your mobile gamers it's very heavy all right what we have here is the gigabyte or gaming box and you've seen the gaming box on channel probably because Tim did quite a few videos on it but this is the GTX 1080 model previously they only had a 1070 model I think I'll actually go through this box properly and do an actual proper unboxing can you believe that a proper unboxing on unboxing boxes I think I'll do that because it could be the first unboxing of this product on the entire Internet but if someone else beats me to it because I took too long it and it and get this video out I don't care no need to tell me about it I said stop typing let's get into it so for those of you unaware this is a Thunderbolt 3 device that's how it connects to your it's pretty much designed for ultra books that have integrated graphics and don't play games very well basically they don't have Intel's are upcoming chips with the Radeon graphics they've just got Intel HD graphics and they suck at gaming so Tim tested out the 1070 model and while quite impressive indeed make ultrabooks that couldn't previously game capable of gaming they were heavily heavily cpu-bound in most of the games tested like battlefield 1 was terrible because ultrabooks the well before the cable Acree fresh they had dual-core processors and as you guys know basically they're like low clocked core i3 s which aren't exactly great for multiplayer games like Battlefield 1 and so stuttering and whatnot was a problem and there is a bit of latency with the Thunderbolt 3 implementation opposed to let PCI Express so it wasn't great but now we do have the KB Lake refresh ultrabooks with quad-core processors and their of the 8000 new series at the core i5 8000 own core i7 8000 new series and this should complement those very nicely indeed I think it comes in a cute little baggie so nice and portable you can carry your gaming box around it's pretty much designed mostly to stay at home but whatever you'll probably need your power cord so a little handle as well if ok tightly about half a kilo but if you want to put a shoulder strap on go for it all right actually I said I'd do a proper unboxing so in the box apart from the shoulder strap you get a 3 pin kettle power cord but missus I think it's a US power cord by the looks of it anyway that won't work in Australia got an adapter and also on the package we have a Thunderbolt 3 cable which is USB type-c at each end so let's just have a look at the device itself it's pretty nifty little bag there's some side pockets and things so you can put extra things in there your cables and stuff so it is quite a a neat little bag for those that do plan on carrying their gaming box around with their ultra portable notebook things there I haven't actually seen one of these in the flesh the 1070 model Tim reviewed that and I never actually saw it looked fairly compact in all of a roll and stuff II provided but when you see it in person it's a I assume this is the same as the 1070 model size-wise it looks like it's got a very custom design 1080 in it'd be interesting enough that is the same size after check the specifications online but yeah it's tiny absolutely tiny it's a lot smaller than the bulky bag the bags very padded so yeah out of the bag it's even smaller than you might imagine USB type-c Thunderbolt there with that short little cable goes from there to your laptop Ultra book whatever you're using got some USB so you can hang a few USB devices off it then of course you can plug an external monitor in as well if you want to do that and I think that actually works better but don't quote me on that I can't exactly remember tim's video i probably shouldn't admit to that alright let's crack it open tim will be reviewing this on the channel by the way tim's busy with uni exams still but he will be finishing up very shortly and i will be catching up with him will probably do a video or two in a few weeks time and i'll be handing this off to him and he'll be doing one of his detailed reviews where he uses our quad core ultra bulk plays a ton of games and it'll compare it to what a desktop 1070 would do so just gotta remember how to put it back together for tim it's like 36 degrees today and i've had to turn the air conditioner off to film and boy oh boy this room is heating up fast this will probably end up being a 30 minute episode like they often are but if it's only 15 minutes you'll know why well there is a sneak peak of the innards so on this side we have the gtx 1080 graphics card a very compact ITX type version as you can see there but it does have a massive fan over the front of it over a reasonable heatsink we've got three copper pipes copper heat pipes i should say - eight mil and one six mil and that's covering all the memory chips as well and no doubt the vrm components and that's got a single 8 pin connector so that's standard g4 fan blades come very close to that PCB down there very close indeed it's like a millimeter and then on the other side we have a black small form-factor sfx power supply something along those lines there there's a couple of very small fans there as well to draw some extra cool air or they're actually exhaust fans remove any hot air I should say from inside the unit so there's an unboxing and very limited teardown of the gaming box GT X 1080 version anyway I'll pop that back together a bit later on when I make you sit through all that and then Tim will provide a detailed review oh yeah well we're just finally it does come with one of those shiny drink coasters so that's cool we've seen that with a few products recently mostly motherboards but good to see you get one of those with this and then a quick installation guide very very quick I suppose there's not a whole lot to it and a very nifty little carry bag will pop it back in there gets in snug ok second last box how are we doing for time no idea blunt knife strikes again that tape puts up a fight these days what do we have here some UPS bags lots and lots of UPS bags I can add them to my UPS bag collections that's nice very nice shiny box amongst all the UPS bags very heavy one well that explains why that package was so heavy it has a 1000 watt C sonic power supply 80-plus titanium model let's get that out quickly and have a look I actually believe when I spoke to see sonic last about this I was expecting this for a little while they're going to provide me with one of these or at least one of these maybe a couple of them I can't remember the fine details are all announced that probably in a video soon they were talking about some see sonic iron power supply giveaways and I'm sure it's probably something you guys are interested in and I'll just do that as an exclusive for you guys that are subscribed to the channel so maybe a joint thing with other channels alright let's get into this very shiny box and see what we have okay so it comes with a huge assortment of cable ties and velcro straps and other things so that's very cool a couple of different manuals and things another US power cord so as we saw it is an 80 plus titanium model and I believe it has something like 92 or 94 I think it's 94% efficiency at 50% loads that's a very impressive indeed as we can see already it is a fully modular power supply and there are a heap of connectors on the back of this thing so you'll have no trouble running some sort of high-end thread Ripper or x29 iron system of this so in the top here it has a massive one hundred and thirty-five millimeter fluid dynamic bearing fan basically very low friction generated by the fans bearing design if you will so it creates a very little noise very little where it's at will last a long time speaking of lasting a long time yeah ten years is a pretty extreme warranty when I see a PC or a tech part with a 10 year warranty it's like wow that's a seriously premium product that they really believe in well this one has a 12 year warranty so while it might be pricey I'll mention the price in a minute that is an extreme warranty period 12 years Wow get your money's worth of a pea little bits of plastic as well so this is I probably haven't said the full name yet it is the C Sonic prime ultra 1,000 watt power supply it does cost two hundred and sixty dollars u.s. and I don't have an Aussie price yet but would have to be around three hundred and seventy years so obviously a very premium high-end power supply about yeah the 1200 watt titanium a rated power supply so the price seems appropriate so that's hopefully I've thrown up a bit of b-roll you guys can get a good look around the unit and now in this second little bag here we have a heap of flat black cables so again it's 100 100% modular design and you get a massive massive amount of cables so in the cables you do get a sleeved what is a 24-pin power cable so that's good to see and there ask them are just flat black cables which is fine probably not as desirable as these sort of individually sleeved cables that we recently saw on a couple of power supplies I looked at but you know they're still good and you do get 14 SATA power cables so that's obviously a lot it's it's 14 how you also get where are they yep that's what we want an 8 pin or 8 + 8 / 6 pin PCI Express power connector apparently there are eight of these in this pile here and then we get our that's cool as well as you can convert the molex connectors to another to solder characters so that's cool I believe there is something like 5 mullux connectors in turtle which probably looks about right I'm saying we've got two there and three there there's our five well done and we also have I believe - there's one and there's not - there with me yes we have two of the eight pin CPU power connector so again that's really good for your thread Ripper and your sky like X platforms so plenty of power connectors cables and whatnot to go with your hi and see sonic power supply and yeah I'll get more information hopefully we will be giving away this particular unit on the channel in the not-too-distant future and I'll probably feature this in a build I might even use it in the swift X bills alright last box just fairly light so you'll see what's inside so far we have some white foam behind that white finally have a FedEx bag to go with our UPS bags and we have creative outlier sport or in the sports sports we also have a bag of bubble wrap check that out in a minute and we have some more creative headphones these are the creative flex so let's have a closer look at those we'll start with the Flex I'll move that and that there well I've made a massive massive mess in here but anyway the creative flex well that's a very very light package to start off with yeah we get into it well quite obviously this is a headset of sorts looks like it's got a couple of interesting features and cool thing about them is that they are relatively cheap there are only about $50 I think they're exactly $50 in fact Australian so that would make them very cheap in the US but I couldn't actually find any US pricing for them so yeah maybe $30 ish u.s. so they obviously fold flat so nice and compact and right away you can tell or I can tell you can well you can probably assume based on what they look like they are quite light 136 grams so extremely light I can probably to adjust them in a bit obviously a wired headset and they have a very small inline controller it looks like just mutes and something pretty cool here is you can change they probably see if they slide out you can change the sort of like the color I like the little colour decal here the trimming if you will so you can go blue if you want there you go that's pretty swanky or you can go sort of greenish colour or you can just be plain and boring and you can go like a charcoal wish grayish color so ultra light folding headphones as you can see you've got the right and left in there you can even go in you could go multicolored if you want so you could sort of go with the orange color and the blue color so pretty rebellious 136 trams they have a 1.2 meter cord so that reach for each down your phone or whatever is in your pocket very easily so the drivers are 32 millimeters I'm a stellar seizure there and they do have neodymium magnets in them so nice and responsive and all that sort of stuff for color tabs covered that and they have a limited one-year warranty suppose we'll give them a quick try they're mostly plastic design but you know you'd expect that for the price they do seem hinges and everything on them look quite thick quite big so I'd say they're quite robust Wow they are significantly more bassy than I was expecting I don't know how well the mic will pick this up they're a lot more bassy than expect definitely probably can't hear me and that's not a mute button it is a pause play button so there's no volume control on the headphones themselves so very limited controls in that sense but you can control that sort of stuff from the phone anyway alright next up we have the outlier sports are actually pretty keen to try these out because I've used the boxes up there somewhere the jaybird freedom is a bit like white like those but they're very expensive there is the freedom f5 I think they are and they're about $100 u.s. well these are just $70 u.s. so significantly cheaper than even the cheapest jaybird freedoms and I believe probably says on the Box somewhere somewhere yep 11 our playback between charges and for those of you unaware the freedom f5 rated up to 8 hours so we've got the orange ones here and I believe the so you can get them in neo green green midnight blue which is dark blue and a fiery orange which is kind of like fluo orange I suppose or fiery orange well due to the funky colors and whatnot they look quite different to the freedoms but sort of design wise they're very similar so you've got rubberized cabling I believe that's about 50 centimetres half a meter long you've got the controls here you charge it up using micro USB as you would an Android phone or pretty much any other device volume up and down and then maybe mute pause play something like that so these are obviously Bluetooth headphones so I'd have to pair them with my phone which I will do in a moment we'll test them out and see what they sound like they are sweat proof ipx4 rated Eric's extremely extremely light 15 grams in total for what you see here so you're very light indeed you'd barely know you're wearing them and like the headphones we just saw here they have a 1 limited warranty which isn't huge but they're not massively expensive either so you probably don't really expect a premium warranty they sound really nice as well lots of bass that's max volume no idea how that sounds on the mic but anyway they do sound very nice a few different silicon size small medium and large and then the same goes for little Finn things that go in your ears so a few different sizes there's also a clip to clip it on so yeah that's for the money it's really nice I'd say a kind of rival the high end freedoms to be honest with you with the sound quality if they do last up to 11 hours that's impressive anyway moving on oh yeah they said Center buttons obviously power on and off and pairing so okay and lastly we have the bubble wrap thing whoa whoa okay that's pretty disco try me whoa is pretty cool I'm gonna have to get some b-roll of that well I don't know if creative were the first to do it but RGB has now made it to portable Bluetooth speakers so that is good to see I was worried I was thinking when are we going to get RGB portable Bluetooth speakers well now is the answer all right so that was almost not worth to struggle because all you do is you know micro USB cable for charging it no doubt that looks like it has an auxilary input as well so you don't just have to use the Bluetooth so we've got rubberized controls on top power volume up/down pause play bluetooth phone button a brightness button no doubt for your RGB lighting so that's very cool so this little guy here is $70 us it is the halo creative halo I don't think there's anything else to the name creative halo nailed it $70 u.s. 130 dollars Australian so it's actually pretty good for a portable Bluetooth speaker especially if it turns out to be quite nice quality I believe there's a pair of speakers in this thing they're probably they're in there at a guess no idea really it's got a rubberized base and it has a tripod mount so you could mount that on a sort of designer type tripod in the corner of your room or something like that and then this mirror finish you with the RGB lighting as you just saw that is very funky indeed in total it is 510 grams so basically half a kilo again it comes with a one-year warranty like the other two creative products we just checked out and yeah they're quoting up to eight hours of battery life probably without the RGB lights no doubt they have the battery time but who cares they look awesome fire it up it sounds exactly like the road waiting for device to connect like the IRA or and a lot sort of stuff so it's so that's quite loud so if you keep pushing the light button it true it goes through a few different pre-programmed effects it says the light effects are programmable I don't know if it just means that or if there's like an app for your phone where you can sort of change the effects of the lights I don't know that's something I'll have to look into but either way that is pretty cool something different as I said I'll probably flatten it a lot faster but cool nonetheless I have the sound quality and volume and all that is very impressive especially for the money and you're a little handle there so you can carry it around I like it so that's going to do it for this episode of unboxing boxes we had quite a few different things to look at a couple of big cases but didn't go into them too much you'll see them in much more detail on the channel very shortly some pretty cool audio products from creative very nice-looking power supply from C sonic we also got this cool little heatsink from fan text as well which will be going on the am4 build using that as rock motherboard I showed you of course we've got the gaming box with the GT X 1080 that looks mighty impressive and I can't like to see Tim's benchmark results on that hopefully we'll have to wait too long for those I'll get Tim onto that straightaway he's got quite a few things he has to get through but anyway that is going to do it for this episode of unboxing boxes hope you guys enjoyed I'll see you again soon
