welcome back to how our unboxed I thought it was about time I did an unboxing boxes episode mostly because you guys have just been asking me when the next unboxing box's episode is and I hadn't really planned one had a few things laying around a couple of things build up while we're away at Computex earlier in the month so I suppose now is as good as any time to get into it so let's do that we'll start with this box here because this one has fragile glass fragile do not tip written on it it's probably been tipped a lot hopefully sounds a bit odd I'm gonna start with this one though for a reason sometimes we do this randomly but this one has my Asian grocer return on it and that sounds a bit odd but for those of you who missed it we did do a very silly livestream while at Computex I just realized I picked up this and I have bear with me it's been a while since I've done one of these episodes and I'm forgetting that we have a proper or an official unboxing boxes knife now sent to us by the guys at sky soldier blades I'll put the link in the video description if you want to know more about this insane knife where was I we did a crazy livestream while at Computex and the plan was to just talk a bit of tech and we've got a couple of the local drinks I suppose from 7-eleven that was just meant to be a fun taste testing kind of thing that went a bit sideways when all you guys in the comments decided that we should mix all the drinks together at the end and see what that tasted like and yeah it didn't taste good so why I bring that up is because one of our one of our much-loved patreon members Zed's in our hearty said I'm going to order you something from my Asian grocer for the next unboxing boxes and we have a list here of the drinks it looks like there's a fair few drinks yep there's a lot of drinks he said that they shouldn't be bad or there shouldn't be many bad ones it should be quite interesting so Wow okay there are a lot of drinks here what I thought we would do is just try these drinks out as i unbox products and i guess i'll comment on how these taste as i unbox new pc highway that's now a thing at the channel i'll probably be doing benchmarks soon while trying interesting drinks okay so just quickly I'll go through the drinks this one has no English on it so that's gonna be a mystery drink so that'll be fun this one is calamansi juice drink calamansi looks like it's some kind of fruit never heard of it I don't know if it's unusual that I haven't heard of it but I haven't we have something else that looks like it'll be a surprise not sure what to expect to there mangosteen nectar not sure if I'm pronouncing that right again something I've never heard of ah grass jelly drink am i well that definitely says grass so I'm not mispronouncing that roasted coconut juice okay we have a six pack of Red Bull that is pretty cool so some Asian Red Bulls might only drink one of those or I could be a buzzing a bit and then this has me slightly concerned it's probably just glass that's why it's wrapped up weird uh put the big knife where's my knife spotted it it's alright you can all stop looking I have found it yes it is in a glass bottle and it is bird's nest with panda drink I'm not making this stuff up that's really what it says and yeah there's some certainly weird stuff in there I can't wait to drink that one anyway thankfully that brings us to the end so thank you said Zed are hearty I will enjoy sampling this as we unbox and boxes or move them or forward here sort of semi get them out of the way all right well actually we probably should start with one let's try grass jelly drink grass jelly drink let's keep the shell off with one of those hmm it's bringing bringing back a lot of memories it smells very much like some sort of Taiwanese tea drink yeah I'll move that over there it's not bad now these two packages are from element a III who is one of our patreon members so thank you mate for sending these over I don't know what they are this one said mouse pad though and it feels very mouse pad ish so hopefully this is work safe sort of stuff we'll stick you up we end up with you the patreon members like to send me a lot of unusual things like drinks and whatnot okay well so far it's looking like a backside of a mousepad alright you guys ready what are we looking at here that's up that is cool that's awesome the Patriot members have been hassling me to make a mouse pad and it looks like someone has they've got one made up but that is awesome that is so cool Wow I have a good look at it wow I like that that actually looks pretty good sitting here on this sets that's might might be where I keep it well thank you very much for that that is that's awesome that's got me bit excited to see what's in the next box because I wasn't wasn't expecting something that nice so whatever is in this package has been ordered from JM mods so you can get all kinds of custom stuff from them so yeah hopefully there's some cool stuff in here and again this is from element 83 so we'll see what else sees he's ordered but yeah more he's already won me over with the mousepad that is seriously cool ok we just got a bit of white foam at this point get that out that always makes a bit of mess in the office more fragile handle with care' stuff so we've got what that looks pretty cool the episode is from JM mods you can go to JM Montcalm to get this kind of stuff it's looking very cool indeed first let's start with this a big thing here we've got a couple of thermal pads and stuff like that so I'm not sure how that all goes together but this is looking like a graphics card backplate and wow wow that is awesome Wow so it looks like it's got LED backlighting of some description yeah GB lining nice flexible cable that yeah I don't know what to say about that that looks incredible really nice work there by j-mods love that and again thank you element a III and the last little package here hahaha that is also very awesome little hardware unboxed think that would be an SSD sort of cover you put that on top of the SSDs but I mean that would look cool just mount it anywhere in a system really might try and put that in the background or something you know that is awesome really awesome well once again thank you very much element 83 you guys really do spoil me sometimes loving these and I think that deserves another drink I'm gonna put these just safely out of the way well I'm gonna celebrate that with some calamansi juice see what uh I don't really want to open it on the mousepad Oh smells very lemony citrusy oh very citrusy that's lovely yeah well that's enough of that one for now okay okay let's see what's in this little package here so what's in this guy you ready oh another Google product this is the new Corsair Vengeance RGB pro ddr4 memory and it's the 4000 kit ddr4 4000 for 8 gigabyte 6 32 gigabytes that will be worth a small fortune let's have a look at this stuff for those of you who aren't aware Corsair has had RGB memory for a while now they're in their vengeance series and you can see some of it there but it's not the most flashy and showy of the RGB memories available out there so they stepped it up a notch with their Pro Series which they unveiled at Computex and we featured at one of our videos and I reckon this stuff is now some of the best if not the best looking GB memory on the market the effects that does are really cool and it's just really vibrant I'll throw up some b-roll so you guys can see how good they look but yeah really cool memory and the cool stuff about this memory is it's not just about all the flashy RGB lighting or like kind of stuff even though they're quite impressive in that regard but they're available in a wide range of frequencies so as I said this is 4000 so that's extremely fast memory dunno how high we got to get with horizon 2nd gen rise and we'll give that a go in a later video but anyway it's some very cool memory there from Corsair I'll put some links in the video description so you guys can check pricing and availability of all the different models anyway I'm sure the b-roll of this memory it looked very impressive very flashy and all that good stuff before we move on from the memory we might try some photo pomegranate juice drink give that a shot see what that's all about this could be interesting again another juice fruit thing that I've never heard of before this one's well I don't know how to describe that it smells very sweet but I can't place that it's so unusual maybe won't get we go yeah it's not bad it's just not that not that much flavor to it hey moving right along whoa okay that is a lot of what looks to be thermal page we've got 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 15 I think perhaps and is it all the same is it all the same is it all the same right so what we have here is more than half a dozen of Arctic's a thermal compound there mx4 stuff which I do use on a daily basis so they sent me a big huge tube of that not that long ago but anyway I've used nearly half of it so that was about time or won't be too long before I need more and they've set me a heap of convenient sizes so yeah I've got loads of this stuff for what I'm testing CPUs as you can imagine I go through a lot of thermal paste because every time I test or change a CPU more thermal paste is required every time I change a cooler more thermal paste is required so we go through boatloads of it so big thank you to Arctic for sending this over so I have to go rummaging through old product boxes trying to find tubes of thermal paste very handy indeed and this stuff is really good I do recommend using it well I'm probably not the best performing thermal paste you can come across it's certainly very good and there isn't a huge amount of difference between the various little pastes out there but in terms of value it is very good it's not stupidly price like some of them are so really good fella paste that does the job well and lasts a long time they've got an eighth year during I sort of guarantee on the packet so if you are happen to install your CPU and then not do anything with your system for eight years then that's really good value we'll move that all over there I think I'll save the old bird's nest for last because not only does it look kind of nasty it's also one of the more interesting sounding ones that I can actually pronounce we'll leave that there we'll go for this concoction kinda looks like an up and go pretty sure it's not an up and go but well I'm not pretty sure I don't really Atari but anyway we'll give it a go and then we'll get into the next the next package mm that's um yeah that's that's triggering a bit of a gag reflex there that smells whoo that smells a lot like the peanut rice milk that was one of the worst absolute worst ones we drank at Computex it was very it's had a very strong peanut butter kind of smell which I suppose isn't that bad but the taste was overwhelming and it just had the the viscosity or whatever you wanna call it was just weird and this is this is a little bit like that so I feel like I should move the mouse pad but I won't we'll give it a go mmm okay that's actually not too bad it smells way worse probably just because of the experience I had not that long ago but uh yeah it's it's okay yeah I'm not sure I'll finish that one but Cheers all right let's move it right along what do we got here oh I think we have something kind of exciting in this it probably would have been exciting six months ago maybe not that long ago but a little while ago if it's what I think it is well that sneak peek didn't uh give anything away but if it is what I think it is I'll have a lot of benchmark updating to do so let's have a look let's have a look is it what I think it is yes it is what I think it is can't believe it's taken me this long I finally have a custom Vegas 64 graphics card and I have word that Vega 56 is on the way so I can redo my gtx 1070 TI vs vega 56 comparison and i will be doing a vega 64 vs GT x 1080 comparison in the next few weeks once i get testing but yeah so these have been extremely difficult to come by I realize it's now quite late in the product cycle and you guys or a lot of you probably aren't that interested in buying what's still a current generation graphics card because the next generation hopefully won't be too far away but if you're in desperate need of a graphics card updating your card wait however many more months it's going to be before we get new graphics cards then these are an option and this is the first time I have held this particular model and it's the first time I've received a custom Vega graphics card of any description so that is a mammoth heatsink big three fan cooler nice backplate yeah so hopefully that performs a lot better than the reference air-cooled model that I have I do have Vega 64 liquid as well but anyway it's kind of a relief kind of nice to finally get one of these and sort of test it out and then we won't have all the problems we have when we do those comparisons where I'm using a reference card versus a custom Pascal card so thank you very much to a soos for sending this along and that deserves to be celebrated with a drink let's go with this one here that I don't know what it is milk is milk ease sounds like something one of my kids would say okay it's sort of it looks like some of the fancy coolant you see it's kind of what transparent almost but whitish and it's swirling a bit and a little bit like this stuff anyway we'll give it a go and it smells like nothing so hmm it's actually quite nice but again I can't really explain it or describe it it's kind of like it's a fizzy drink it's a kind of soft drink it's kind of like lemonade I suppose is the closest thing I can come up with it's kind of like a nicer version of your typical lemonade yeah quite like that I might finish that one later I'm putting a lot of drinks here near my expensive computer anyway okay well we're gonna have to do a bit of drink testing how's this I drink drinking at the end of this one because I'm running out of packages here you've only got well we know what that is so we'll get into that one last and we have two boxes stuck together in this one okay we have what looks to be the world's smallest Mouse potentially in that one and in this we have all heard a lot about this thing this is the swift point Z naught the swift point is edit swift point and Z is how the makers of this Mouse pronounce it but I'll probably alternate between boeuf it'll be the swift point Z yeah the swift point is in depending on how I feel at the time this is a very expensive Mouse but it's also very very unique let's say I obviously haven't used it this is the first time I've ever got it but it has a gyro in it and it can just do pretty much everything you could ever imagine a mouse doing it does pretty much more than any other mouse that's ever come before it I think it costs around 230 dollars u.s. so just two quick heads up on that but there'll be some links in the video description and check it out and I'm not gonna even come close to covering everything this thing can do I quickly checked it out when they when the makers of the mass said they were sending it had a quick look at it and it was quite overwhelming the list of features and things that it could do which you'll sort of get some idea of in a moment as we go through just some of the stuff that comes with it actually before I pull that out as you can see it's kind of cool little kit with the mouse plus a million little things that can be modified on it so honestly for unboxing boxes episode I don't even really know where to start with this thing I feel like you've probably got to use it for a while to understand everything that can do and how it works and how well it works and I will be using this as my daily driver from this moment forward so the second I wrap this episode up I'm going to take this upstairs and start using it straight away hopefully fit in a couple of games tonight if I get a chance so as I said I'm really not gonna be able to do this one justice in an unboxing boxes episode because there just are so many features and aspects of this mouse and it's kind of one of those mice that sounds too good to be true one of those products that sounds too good to be true because it really sounds like a can doodle and some of the stuff that they claim it can do is just amazing so I want to give it a go a really good go and see if it is all that it's cracked up to be but on the back here one of the coolest features it can do is when you're gaming to look sort of left or right you can tilt the mouse so you can be using the mouse as you normally would well be gaming and then you can just tilt it ever so slightly and your character in a first-person shooter if the game supports that which most do will sort of will tilt and you can tilt in fire rather than have any use a keyboard control to do that so it allows you to do a lot more with your with your mouse controls so by default it comes with the so the tilt piece is installed and I can clearly feel that the mouse rocks from left to right some it's it's not I don't know you definitely take a bit of getting used to it feels kind of strange to me it feels like there's something under the mouse but again I haven't used it yet so I can't really comment on how well it does or doesn't work but then if I put this piece in if I can work out how this piece goes in so if you put in these pieces with the number three on it with the little lock that basically locks out your tilt so now it's just a traditional Mouse that you can't take advantage of the tilt with then there are a heap of other buttons so you've got your two main clickers then there's these two secondary clickers here and then a third row up here and they can also be clicked sort of you can pull them back to click so they click upwards or you can click down on them so there's just so many different ways you can use this mouse and then you can change the size of the rubber pads that go on those clickers so now that one's easier to access and then these little quickfire buttons down here you can pop the little tab that makes that way easier to reach you've got your normal clicker then you can pull back and hit that one like that and then for the one here you can hit it with your finger like that or you could pull back on it if you wanted to so yeah I mean if you're pretty good at adjusting to different mice setups then this mouse will be something that you'll really enjoy and for these buttons that are the secondary buttons you can either have that big piece there or a small one depending on which one you prefer to keep it more out of the way and then for these two top buttons again there's sort of a lower profile how well you can see that I'm have to do some b-roll we've got a low profile switch and then a sort of taller profile switch less low profile that makes perfect sense that one sort of gets more in the way for me but it is easy to click as well so no it depends on what you prefer then of course you've got two buttons here you've got two buttons on the on the right side as well that you can activate with your thumb so there is a hell of a lot of buttons on this Mouse it doesn't say on the box but there's a lot a lot and then comes with software so you can program all the buttons through different things and set it all up it has a liftoff mode which you can use for flight you know if you're playing battlefield or something like that you jump in a plane you can lift the mouse off and use the gyro to fly so that's pretty insane there's a whole lot of crazy stuff this mouse claims to do really well so Keena start testing out and see how well it does but again if you'll want to check it out for yourself there is a link in the video description and I read a quite a few our user reviews and they all seemed very positive there are a couple of negative reviews as there always is but most of them were from Mac users who were claiming that it doesn't work with Mac there is no that says Microsoft or Windows and Apple down the bottom there so I don't know if those claims are true if they had some early Mac Apple support issues I don't know or it could just be that though is using Apple products are still trying to grasp the concept of having more than one mouse button so that's quite possible as well so that is an awesome-looking mouse great little accessory kit there I'm keen to plug that in and start testing it to see if it really is as good as it claims to be oh and I almost forgot there's a second little package here they've sent along I don't know what this one's all about I thought at first this might be sort of an accessory for that Mouse if there wasn't already enough with it but it turns out that it is a swift point GT Mouse okay so with this one we get a neat little carry case little pouch thing to put it in looks quite good open it up and we have this thing that so what we have here is the little USB dongle which would be a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi dongle that plugs into your laptop and then you can charge this little guy using that so just clips I like that it's very powerful the magnets that's magnetic so that holds on there you can actually leave it plugged in the side of your laptop to hold it as well so you'd plug that in to charge it up once it's charged you just leave that in your laptop you take this out and this replaces your mouse so it moves around probably need to get some b-roll of that but it's surprisingly comfortable and it can work next to like your trackpad on your laptop because it's that small it fits there quite nicely so a really cool feature about this little compact tiny Mouse so you've got your left and right clickers there you've got a scroll wheel but the really cool thing is it's got like a stylus tip like a sort of the point of a stylus embedded in the bottom there so when you're moving it around as you normally would with them out using you know the mouth sensor and using the clickers you can also tilt it to the right and then swipe it and move it around to use the kind of stuff you would do with a stylus art makes sort of touchscreen stuff scrolling around screens and stuff rather than using the wheel to slowly scroll sideways you can do that to sort of flick left and right so that's really interesting again another Mouse or sort of it's probably more than just a mouse but anyway another peripheral from Swift point that I am keen to give a go and see if it's all it's cracked up to be interesting little device there again I will provide a link in the video description for you guys to check it out a bit more get a bit more info on it I think it's time for some roasted coconut juice what are your a Ken Ken it's a good time for that I've got a lot of open cans over there better be careful not to knock any of that off all right roasted coconut juice let's see what that is all about well I can confirm this bits of coconut floating around in this juice that doesn't smell good at all mmm dammit alright well that smells really bad that's enough of that one moving right along that go I don't even that just tastes wrong Oh crazy bad aftertaste okay you guys are probably familiar with the course as new crystal 280x case but I now have one it is in I think the black finish which is I think probably the better-looking finish of the two options black and white but we'll open this up and get a closer look at it well I've got to say this case looks quite good in black I saw it only in white at Computex and I was a bit on another file like that it just didn't I don't know the white bits here with the the sort of the what would you say the tinted glass the smoked glass it just didn't I didn't work that well for me I didn't like it I don't know if you guys agree if you've seen the white one what you think but the black one sort of blends together a bit more looks a bit cleaner in my opinion but basically this is a dual chamber case Oh on this side here which is the main chamber you can put a micro ATX motherboard all the other bits your graphics card and all that kind of cool stuff then around the backside here we have sort of the secondary chamber I undo these yes you know sometimes these thumb screws yet damp extremely tight from factory but not the case here so in the back here it looks like we can put a pair of three and a half inch drives it looks like three two and a half inch drive so your SSDs and then at the bottom here a power supply and it looks like you're not really limited on the length of the power supply too much there the longer you go the less of these cable management holes you'll have then it looks like we've got some lighting control in here for the fans because it does come with a pair of Corsair note just one sorry rewind because it does come with a Corsair fan in the front a 120 millimeter RGB fan so that is quite nice nothing in the back in fact there's no possibility for any rear exhaust fans it looks like they would go on the top so there is a second RGB fan on top I know a lot about the standard configuration of this case so a 120 millimeter fan in the top and in the front so that's a nice configuration there usually don't get the high quality fans out of the box but that's kind of cool and then at the top here we have front IO which is a pair of USB 3 ports no type-c and then power and reset buttons and you've got just your standard audio jacks so you know fairly standard i/o there nothing too fancy type C would have been nice I think a few of you will be a bit upset that's not included but then some people claim that there's really no need for those and they don't use them anyway so I don't know which side of the offense you stand on that one and then we've got a dust filter in it's an external dust filter as well magnetic I think yes magnetic dust filter that just clips on there nicely looks like you can install a fan on this panel as well looks like it's about the 140 millimeter variety but I couldn't be wrong I don't have a fan laying around anywhere so I can't confirm that right now but yeah it has to be said I do much prefer this case in the black finish it just as I said it looks much cleaner sort of goes together a bit of the white just a it just didn't work for me so let me know what you guys think if you think that the black version of the 2a DX just looks bit more sleek of it nicer and if that's the the color choice you would prefer and on that note I think it's time for another drink so what have we gonna leave the bird's nest still ok so we have the mangosteen or mangosteen nectar whichever one of the two that is and yeah I think we'll just jump straight in this one I have no idea what to expect here enough my I've had a bit of a cold lately so my my sense of smells a bit off but it smells kind of like or actually a lot like a lot like passionfruit so it smells yeah very sweet quite a nice smell so I don't know if that's accurate or not but that's what it smells like to me I'll give it a go hmm it's quite nice it's not exactly what I expected but yeah it's kind of passionfruit II kind of it's probably the best way I could describe it but if anyone else has had this before and they do or don't agree with me let me know what you think it tastes like I suspect it tastes a lot like mango steam or mangosteen but whatever that is all right we'll do it we'll have the bird's nest we're gonna outdrink the bird now bird's nest I'll try and get some b-roll this as well because it's um it's kind of weird actually it's probably a way to open that without a knife it is just a drink calm down Daffy to unbox everything okay I did it so what we're having here is just your classic bird's nest drink well I'm gonna I'm gonna approach this pond with a bit of caution because it smells like nothing and generally when they smell like nothing in my experience they're kind of bad it's definitely not just water hmm it's actually quite sweet okay the liquidy part of it's quite nice the bird's nest II part of it's quite like quite a chunky and weird tasting and off-putting so I noticed bad as I thought it would be but also not something I would like to drink not a big Red Bull drink craft to say but I do like the Red Bull f1 team so that's probably why Zed Zed are Hardy bought me some Asian Red Bulls but I do know what a Red Bull tastes like so I'll be able to tell you how close this is to our the sort of western Red Bull it smells very much like a Red Bull which is yeah smells like it's not fit for human consumption and it'll probably burn a hole in your body so good Red Bull stuff and it looks sort of the orange petrol a color that Red Bull normally looks like so about to see if I'm gonna get some wings or a trip to the doctors it's kind of like it's kind of like the Red Bull we get better taste flat like it's not very carbonated it's more like Red Bull juice yeah I really like that one at all that's disappointing I was hoping for a nice red bull or perhaps a slightly different version the Red Bull Red Bull where you get but yeah it just tastes like yeah Red Bull juice is probably the best way I could describe it it's just like flat so yeah that was disappointing way to end it but nevertheless thank you very much as Ed's and our Hardy for sending all those drinks they were quite interesting there are a couple there that I enjoy so that was good then a big thank you to element 83 for sending not only this amazing mouse pad which I very much love and I'll probably end up staying here now this is just amazing this graphics card back plate I don't know what graphics card I should put this on and it's really impressive I don't know if there's a graphics card that would would do this justice but if you guys have a suggestion for what cactus card I should put these like that so your graphics cards sitting in your computer like that and that's how it looked from the top so let me know what graphics card you think would do this justice because you're I absolutely love it it's almost too good to put inside a PC certainly wouldn't be putting on a graphics card that's mounted like that because then you might be on a set because it will be on the backside of course and then this little thing this little SSD cover so that would mount up something like that if I don't know if that's in the shot but yeah that looks really cool as well so I'll definitely install that in my system anyway big thank you for sending that stuff big thank you to a soos was finally sending me a custom Vegas 64 graphics card and I'm looking forward to the Vega 56 model which I'm also told us on the way pretty keen to do some sort of building this hopefully I have the opportunity to a micro ATX build in the not-too-distant future are there any X 470 micro ATX boards you know I don't think there is but if someone makes one it would be cool to do a second gen Rison building match I will be installing this Corsair memory in a build I might even put it in this system here so actually I can probably shut the system down and put it in and it could work let's try that quickly there we go now you can see the original Corsair RGB memory next to the new Pro Series memory and this the red Ripper system will have no idea what is going on memory wise because we just have a randomly populated DIMM slots but that's fine yeah so you can see them side by side there Eric and the new stuff looks absolutely fantastic but as always I'll be interested to see what you guys think so I think that about wraps up this episode of unboxing boxes one of my favorite episodes so far for sure we had some some interesting drinks to keep us as attained along the way love this stuff of course and my mouse pad really really cool can't can't believe how cool that stuff is I'll get some photos and put them on Twitter or Instagram when I finally install in my system you may see them in a future video who knows thank you to Arctic for my more than one dozen thermal paste tubes that'll come in very handy if I get a chance to night I will try to find it I've got stuff everywhere I'll give this mouse ago might try some overwatch or something with it and a few other games and while I am gaming with the new swift point mouse switch point Z or Zed I will land on it like that one oh I definitely didn't like that one I think this one was so that's the okay pile Oh apologies for that that's the roasted coconut that's nasty that's in the no good pile that's the good tasting lemonade good tasting lemonade I love that already yep the grass jelly that was okay not great not terrible and me pretty pretty mad so we got three like okay drinks if you were dying at first and there was nothing else available they'd probably work you'd have to be pretty close to death to take anything out of that pile and then this is the only one that's actually nice and we then of course we have the the juice ball the redbull juice which is okay bitches pointed I was looking forward to drinking that whole six-pack there while I game tonight but that's not gonna happen I can probably come up with something better I'll finish this one off in a moment so anyway thank you for watching this episode of unboxing boxes while drinking mostly rubbish drinks hope you enjoyed it I'm your host Steve and I'll catch you again really soon for some more videos
