Unboxing Boxes #43: Generous Patreon Unboxing + Nvidia Sends Wood & Asrock a Pillow!

2017-12-31
welcome back for another episode of unboxing boxes the series where we take boxes out of boxes sometime packages but usually boxes and if you're really lucky we'll take the hardware out of the product box and that's why we call this channel harbor unboxed right so we're gonna start with this box here because this one is a bit special it's been sent in to us not by a company but by a patron member so Zed Zed are Hardy he hit me up on discord discord server quite a few weeks ago now and he said Steve I've got a spare 64 gigabyte memory kit I want to send in for you guys to use I was like ok 64 gigabytes of thinking is this some old ddr3 memory a whole stack of 4 gigabyte sticks or something said no it's for 16 gigabyte modules of ddr4 3000 memory from Corsair he bought two kits or something like that he couldn't use one of them it was just sitting on his shelf for whatever reason he couldn't or didn't return it and he just said look I want to send it to you guys to support the channel so that blew me away massively I kind of found it hard to believe because that's some serious money there in memory about $1,300 dollars very very generous but anyway he sent it in and it's time to unbox it so I'm I'm kind of thinking it's some sort of joke there's there's something I don't know I really don't know what to think it seems far too generous but Tim is in need of memory for his editing or itself it is a 64 gigabyte ddr4 kit it will be going in Tim's engineering to help him make videos a bit quicker and a bit easier because he only has 16 gigs at the moment okay so let's find out if there is a 64 gigabyte kid in here or if Zed Zed are Hardy is having some sort of bit of fun with me let's have a look here all right well that's looking about the size of a memory kit Wow well it's it's an unopened box it's definitely brand new factory sealed box and it is for 16 gigabyte 3000 64 gigabyte cute ddr4 memory I I don't even know really to say that's amazing well let's get into it and have a look yeah it's the real deal 64 gigabytes of ddr4 memory I really don't know what to say how to thank SEDs Ed Hardy for sending this stuff in that's just phenomenal helps us out massively and you guys are probably sitting there thinking oh you guys get memory for free all the time whatnot well not really because it's always got some sort of shrink attached often we're just loading it for a build or you know we have to do a lot of work to actually get it have to produce a lot of videos and content and guarantee X amount of use the fact that we get this just from a supporter is yeah mind-blowing obviously I don't expect everyone or really anyone to support us to this degree but yeah just yeah blow me I don't really know what to say yeah I was kind of convinced it was a joke the spirit sentence in a 64 gig ddr4 memory key especially with the way pricing is these days it's brand-new oh well that was amazing all right next up we have some packages here from Nvidia so we'll check it those out first I'll maybe say all right this one here I think is for a build I'm doing it soon yes it is so I won't go over this for too long all right so this is a geforce gtx 1072 you've seen this exact msi gary model on the channel before I did a build with a benchmark to the hell out of it and I now have a second one not for SLI my original one I'll be keeping for benchmark in the future this one will be going to someone else I am doing a guest build and that will be hopefully middle of next month so that's something I look forward to it actually pretty cool and that is what this is for move on nvidia has also sent over another little package and this is a Christmas gifts I'm opening this a bit late sorry about the new video and I've sent along a few things as a Christmas present so what do we have yeah go a little beaten up in the mail ah ok there Christmas tree ornaments very cool there you go my kids will love that GeForce GTX though they'll really appreciate that one little wooden ornament and of course another one might hang them up in the studio I think and another one so there you go three wooden ornaments they actually do look very cool so I actually do like those I'll decorate the office with them so thank you for that in video they are rather neat I quite like those see sonic sent along a neat little calendar which unfortunately I won't use because I do all that digitally and a little Christmas card which I'll check out later thank you for a seat honey and finally the last of the Christmas gifts is one from asrock I'm not sure what they have sent so let's get into it and find out looks like we have a good assortment of goodies here so we've got a little asrock binder that's themed like their motherboards that's pretty cool that's really nice a Christmas card handwritten and signed by the Azrael teams that's very cool I'll read that in a bit more detail soon looks like we have a cap here and asrock themed cap very cool I'm not sure what's in this it's very heavy though it looks like it'll probably be a mouse pad or something what is this oh it's blowing up it's insightly it's an as rocker cushion that's actually pretty cool that'll also find its way into the studio or office it's what their Tai Chi board theme on the back doing well out of these Christmas presents here and the mystery tube that is indeed a mousepad so what do we got the thread Ripper boards suppose I should show you guys what it looks like it's a very cool looking mousepad there you go oh I will use that upstairs in the benchmark lab so thread rip up mousepad very cool all right well that does it for the Christmas presents next up we've got two packages left and one of them is once again suspiciously keyboard shape haven't had a keyboard on the series for a few episodes now so hopefully this isn't even bright so what we have here is the duckie 1/2 and I believe this is one of their more affordable keyboards we've looked at a few duckies on the channel and they've been very expensive like up around 300 or $300 plus Australian so quite expensive this one I believe is about 160 dollars right now PC case gear I'll chuck a link for fellow Aussies in the video description if you can get this on Amazon on Newegg or anywhere like that in the state so anyway let's have a look and see what we've got here so this particular keyboard is blue and orange themed which is quite out there so you've got some orange key caps and a black in Turkey there that you can repair or the orange in Turkey is pre-installed so you've got the dark bluish one so you can have it as a blue sort of dark blue theme or you can go with the eye catching orange here so I believe you can get pretty much the full range of Cherry MX switches they haven't got a silver model which i think is similar to the Reds but this one here has the which I quite like the brown there a bit quieter but they've still got a really nice feel through them so the keys feel great they are double shot PBT and they're non backlit so there's no LED lighting on this but as I said it is 160 Australian dollars which is quite affordable for a higher quality mechanical keyboard especially from ducky on the back you'll find two stage feet so you can have it up on just a slight angle or you can go a bit more aggressive with your angle if you want something quite cool is that the cable is to touch them all so if you happen to damage the cable or anything like that the keyboard won't be a throw away and it is a Type C detachable keyboard so it's a lot easier to get in and you can use sort of modern cables if you want to get a braided type-c cable you could but obviously being a type C that will pop in any old way and there are some channels to to run the cable left or right if you wanted to or can just come straight out the front and it looks like we've got about a two meter one point 8 meter cable has a type a USB - it looks like at the other end to go into your PC and there is no USB pass or anything like that so just the detachable cable there's no aluminium or anything like that for the top plate it's just a thick durable plastic plastic all around but it does feel very solid very rigid and then you get this neat little key puller and I will pull the keys off I'll install the orange ones and I'll throw up some b-roll and show you guys what it looks like with the orange key caps on but I imagine it's very eye-catching very out-there and finally it comes with a one-year warranty which obviously isn't that extensive so quite a limited warranty but then it is more of you are not expensive or harassing sales but it is more of your entry level budget mechanical keyboard but I suspect it will last well over one year so anyway thanks for PC case Kia for sending this in I'll probably throw this on one of my test systems and give it a whirl over the next few weeks and see what I think of it alright last up we have this box here from or even reven is a brand I haven't actually seen before tested any of their puffs they've sent along a few items for us to check out I believe so let's get into it have a look all right so we have some RGB light strips that's probably three in the pack but I'm not sure actually get into it and find out before I start saying things I have no idea I'm talking about two - there you go not three - so you get two RGB light strips - they're magnetic so that's very cool you can see the magnets every couple of inches and apparently there is I thought it said on the box that there is an adhesive strip and it looks like as usual after looking the box so there are some stickers here some 3m stickers that you can peel off and stick on here for double sided tape if you want to use that rather than the magnet so I suppose if you're putting on a plastic surface or something like that where the magnets won't work you do have those so it's not the usual one where they're pre-installed and you just peel it off which is a bit more convenient but anyway not the end of the world and you can daisy chain these two together if you just want to make one long one so they'll clip in like so there you go or you can use them individually with the cables provided and these will plug in too if you've got a controller that should work otherwise they'll just go into the header on your motherboard and it supports all the usual stuff so they're pretty cool I don't actually have a price on these I couldn't find them on Newegg Amazon or anywhere in Australia so I'm not sure what how much reven is charging for these so pretty cool light strip I'll probably feature those in a bill at some point not to use in future I love a bit of RGB in the builds we do then we have a Koran Kiran Kiran RGB fan so we have just one of those so I probably won't use in the build but these cat these as you can see here they are sold separately so you can just buy one which is kind of nice and it doesn't require a fancy control or any sort of additional cost like that there's just a switch here and by pushing that you can rotate between colors and effects and that just has a four pin PWM fan connected there for your motherboards fan header or controller if you're using one so looking on the box here we have seven colors and three lighting modes to choose from so that's pretty cool the fan works at between 400 and 1500 rpm you get a 2-year warranty and the best bit is it costs just fifteen dollars u.s. which isn't dirt cheap but for an RGB fan that looks pretty cool which I'll drop some b-roll and show you guys how it actually looks that is very cheap you're sort of looking at more like $30.00 feeling more custom ones with a bit more control so yeah kind of half price there your budget RGB 120 millimeter fan then lastly we have the nya no no yeah it is an all-in-one 240 millimeter rad liquid cooler and this is pretty cool because you can service this particular model I'll go the box and we'll talk about it a bit more there aren't many reviews on this particular model yet though there are there are one or two from reliable sources and they were very impressed with what it had to offer so there are a few unique things about this all-in-one that make it a bit different from all well I suppose there's a whole lot of all-in-one coolers these days pretty much everyone's offering one but this one has a few unique things as I said one of them is that you can top it up so over time if you know bit of water is absorbed or evaporated or whatever you can fill it up and it's cool it's clear housing so you can see the bubbles in it as well and the fill port is here so you would unscrew that like so there you go a little bit wet on top but this one doesn't need any filling because there's hardly any air in it do that back up give it a little quick wipe with a cloth and yeah you're good to go I looked at a pretty good all-in-one a 240 millimeter only one recently from aro cool that's very cool lot of RGB RGB fans also had a clear housing which was RGB lit and that made for some awesome effects this one though is a no frills affair so there's no RGB lighting no fancy effects the pump just plugs in via a three pin fan cable so it'll go into a motherboard header that supports pumps then the fans that go on the radiator well they're also pretty bland there's definitely no RGB here just a standard black kind of fan for pin header which again will go to your motherboard or a fan controller and there's not a whole lot to say about those but there are 120 millimeter black fans so you might be thinking well that's a pretty boring only one I mean you know looks okay but spicing it up a bit you do get three color dyes so you've got a red blue and what looks to be a green so you can put the dye in there and that'll change the color of the water and therefore this and then you've got some lighting around it with maybe your RGB strips and that'll give a pretty cool effect in your PC and it is a hundred and ten dollars so it's still reasonably pricey but that is pretty competitive for a 240 millimeter all-in-one especially with the unique unique features that this one has and from what I've seen the performance is very good so yeah no frills cooler that performs well something else cool about this is that it has a wrap design and it's water above pipe design so this means the cooler can be installed and are again tailored without sacrificing the pumping power so that's very cool so it really have to worry about how you only take this in your case pretty much anyway will work of course one of the highlights here is that refillable tank so it basically means you can service this unit so you can flush the pump and the radio to give that a clean out and then put some more cool and back in there so that will help it last a bit longer now out of the box you can install this on pretty much every AMD and Intel platform out there with the exception of thread Ripper you will have to purchase the upgradable tr4 kit separately so that doesn't come in the package but you can purchase that if you plan on using this with thread Ripper and the the cold plate the base of the cooler is rather large it won't cover our thread Ripper CPU entirely but it is still quite big so it'll do better than most of the coolers out there and yet on that note the performance that I have seen from other review outlet is very very good for this model so it's no slouch there when it comes to cooling and it does a great job or making very little noise that's also impressive the only drawbacks of this product are availability which at the moment is basically non-existent it was selling on Amazon for a little while there for a hundred and ten us it's not currently available on Amazon it's not on Newegg it's available nowhere in Australia so I don't actually know where you can buy at the moment hopefully they will help solve or they will work to solve the availability problem shortly and then the other drawback here is that it does have a limited two-year warranty so I mean for the price that's not too bad but there are quite a few competing products that have up to five year warranty so I would like to see the warranty period extended for this product if possible and well that is going to do it for this episode of unboxing boxes once again I would just like to give a massive thank you to Zed Zed Hardy for sending in this memory really can't even express how much Tim and I appreciate that really can you put this in Tim's editing or Iggy's Rison 7 1718 rig that only has 16 gigabytes at the moment up great at 64 gigabytes and see how much easier it is for him to edit and encode on that system so yeah thank you so much for sending this in it's really blown me away and thanks the PC case key for sitting in the new cable that I'll chuck on one of the test systems and use that a bit cool to check out the reven products the all in one in particular is very interested very interesting I'm keen to check out this fan which you guys probably will have seen by a noun how good it looks so hopefully it looked pretty good yeah it's a pretty good price on that one the light strips are cool all the cool give some products I love this mousepad I'm definitely going to be using that I've got my cap I've got my Christmas decorations but I'll hang up in the office in various spots you'll see them in the background before too long and my pillow so got my rock pillow so that's that's pretty comfy I'll chuck that on the couch and yeah anyway I hope you guys enjoyed this episode of unboxing boxes there'll be another episode quite soon because over the Christmas break I have a massive amount of boxes that I have to get through and I'm putting together an amazing epic the biggest baddest build I've ever done on the channel will be coming up next month and I'm starting to get pressed for that so I'm very excited about that I'll be able to show you some of the products that are coming in for that build anyway that's going to do it for this one thanks for watching see you next time
