hey guys we are here the courser suite at Computex 2013 they have a couple of new cases they've just announced so Jorge will go over with us about those and they also have the new Vengeance Pro memory specifically designed for overclocking so let's first check out the cases and then move on to the Vengeance Pro memory with I'm here with Jorge the product manager for cases and Cooling so Jorge go throw us some new cases do you guys have here at complex 2013 this is a kind of a new flagship for the carbide series it's our high airflow case it's designed to be kind of the the highest end carbide serious case it's called a car by the air 540 and it's a pretty big divergence from the layout of a typical case yeah we took the mechanical hard drive cages and the the optical drive cages and kind of moved them around the power splinted around and everything this chamber is designed to be an active cooling product right so you have fans for your video cards to blow right over them your CPU cooler gets some fresh air flow memory and even mechanical hard drives right here are directly cooled on the passive little side of the case on this side if I flip it around real quick we'll have power supply SSDs optical drive cage and your cable right right here and the reason we did that is because these things are either passively cooled or can cool themselves like the power supply does it doesn't need case air flow this is by itself back here and that allows us to get the best air cooling possible on this side so we've tested this case versus all the competitors case we haven't found a case that is better than this on air flow and we even have flexibility in the front you actually have really good cooling on the front with the dual 140 s that we include in a rear 140 and then there's a dust filter here to keep the dust from getting inside the case you can fit a 360 millimeter radiator or a 240 or to 80 millimeter radio this is $139 us come to the full site panel window and will be available towards the end of July alright so coming to another case what do we have here this is the 330 R it's an also a carbide series case the premise here was to take a 300 R which is one of our most popular cases and a really good higher flow gaming case it's kind of a mid-level what price point yeah and to make a silent version of it so we keep the same internals the only change readings that we added a little bit of height for each 100 IH 110 compatibility which is something people who have bought the 300 or have asked us to do and then we added sound damping off throughout it so the side panels are solid and have sound damping high density foam the top has a removable high density foam cover with plastic the thing that just clips in and then the front has a front door that is a similar brushed aluminum texture to the 550d but it's actually plastic that is molded like this just like the front of the 300 R is internally it has a table of Steel behind it and then a piece of rubber here that keeps it nice and quiet and that weight of the steel helps keep vibration down right behind that is your dust filter to access for the front 120 millimeter fan very easy to change out doing 120 to 140 s in the front and then inside the case the rear is a 120 the top can you do a 141 20s as well if you'd like that as well there's no hard drive gauge in the way just like some in ours so you get really good airflow right to your auto components again and it gets the air in and out of the case and the for drive trays are SSD or three-and-a-half-inch compatible so so given this as you're turning 300 R into a sort of a silent case how do you go about you know giving us same airflow options but because of the sound dampening form how obviously let air flow is being sort of limiting so how do you go how do you approach that issue so the main idea was to look at the 300 RS performance and say how do we affect that in away like you said - we still want to make it quieter but how do you affect the performance in very small amount so after doing things like we did a test to see exactly how far that front door needs to be away from this to get the right amount of intake and it turns out about 20 millimeters anything past that is unnecessary do you have the same number 20 millimeters is it with the front door 15 millimeters away so we said okay but anything closer restricts it so that's why there's that gap between that and front and then if you look at this power supply and set up in here we still have that same good airflow in here and you have a very similar airflow into the front the only differences instead of them 300 where the noise comes straight out the front mesh now it's redirected away from the end-user the top of the 300 R was made a little bit taller for the 330 R that extra volume of air inside the case helps as well because it takes longer to heat up a large volume of air so we can keep the fans nice and quiet and yet the air in and out so actually compared to 300 R this is only about one or two degrees warmer in our testing on the same chassis the hardware and but it's about five decibels quieter which is significant from because this was a logarithmic scale so right it's a much quieter chassis right so adding the sound sound dampening material onto the side panel how much does that affect and if you kept a panel that is acrylic window does that affect anything the acrylic window basically negates any sound damping you put on that side panel so you might still get some on the back side but the window itself is either made of polycarbonate acrylic or lexan or some other clear material and those typically are not anywhere near good at being quiet they tend to rattle because of the attachment that they can either rattle or expand and contract when it heats up or cools down right and these are just not good for quiet cases so now if you did buy a 300 R on window from the 300 windows version and put it on this case it would work but it would no longer be a silent case it would be you know a piece of the front door and a window which is not a quiet case right I guess you keeping up all the same internal components so any all the same cable management configurations rubber grommets the old cable ten notches and stuff like that yeah we're pretty famous for having done the the cable grommets and cable stuff like that that we can have invented at that time and then every one of our cases has just a ton of tool free hardware so that it makes it kind of easy to build your case my core philosophy is that you know if you are building a piece of case it's because you want to be able to a PC case so let's make it as fun and easy as possible for you to build your next-gen case and that's why every case we have has like two or three things thumbscrews everywhere tool free hard drive kita is when we can and the total minimal lack of tools needed so you don't have to find a different screwdriver you don't have to worry about having the right screws in your drawer the only thing you really have to screw in as your motherboard tray and your mother would rather and we've done a bunch of experiments to try and find a way around that - is it possible to install them other word without tools we've never found one that was easier than just using the screwdriver yeah one day we might but for right now it's still easier to use a screwdriver for the you know screws that we have no we did make it a little bit easier because on all of our cases we have a center post yeah place the middle standoff is a center post so you put the motherboard in line up your I Oh panel on the rear and then you just put it on the post and it stays in place while you screw the rest in and even that little change which is a very inexpensive thing to do as something many of our competitors don't do or haven't thought to do yeah but it makes building your case a lot easier and more fun so it's kind of our philosophy make it easier to make it more fun and then add a bunch of cool features and performance stuff okay so when when is this coming out and what's the price range this is us and this is available in late July okay well thanks George to new cases enforcer are pretty known for your cable management great addition from the 300 our slight modifications for sound dampening foam for those who need it and also a very extreme new carbide series this is the airflow airflow at 5:40 given us extra space behind the motherboard where you can tuck away all your your power supply your cables so the front of the case or the side of the case gets all your hardware - and I guess for the best the better of the airflow so everything goes through all the components that need to be cooled are in their right spots versus the others that don't need any passive cooling let's say so hey guys we're here with Rick Allen the director of public relations here at Corsair they have some new memory here lined up for computing 20:13 so Rick tell us what is the new Vengeance series and how it came to be okay well sure well it's all here's it here's one of the new modules right here the reason we came out with a new vengeance Pro line which is higher than our current vengeance line is last year we came to Computex and we're a lot of the overclockers are asking us when you're gonna give us some new overclocking memory to help you break some of the records out there so we came with a vengeance Pro line it has higher performance right now it's designed to have a clock overclock heavily on caswell systems so right now we're shifting ecially with kits I'm going 1600 to 29 33 megahertz and it's very achievable known that has well you know last year on Ivy Bridge processors you know getting up above 20 666 was a challenge but now with Haswell 3000 is easily achievable so we've got these faster speeds yeah we announced 29:33 initially but we also just at the show announce that we've got a new production kit it's going to go to 32 hundred megahertz Cass 11 so that's the fastest production kit available currently Wow so with the memory kit obviously a lot of overclocking potential so great for overclockers how is the module is built to suit these overclocking capabilities good question so one of one thing that we did over the current Vengeance memory line is we move to it of eight layer PCB and it's all black we also went with a new new heat spreader design which was black and we've got it in multiple colors now so it comes in two in gold and blue and red and silver also that there's the ICS are very tightly screen now to make sure that we have plenty of overclocking potential to hit the higher speeds so that's one thing we're say well get we're back for for the overclockers that's one of the reasons we do it yeah and so just the color that's based on the speed of the module or is that just just a customizable color is completely independent of the speed of the module so Rick you have some bench benchmarking going on here tell us what what this setup is doing yeah you know one of the things we want to do to prove that we've actually come back with new memory for overclockers is to provide a kit that is just fast outside of the box so the stock speed of this particular kit that were showing is 32 hundred megahertz Cass 11 and we believe that's one of the fastest duction kits available now that will run air-cooled that doesn't include all the overclocking Headroom let me be available people that really want to push the limits up so given this is a let's say the stock 3200 what is the potential overclocking capability for this module because the person handbilling these kids are still testing all that but he's he's an overclock himself Jake Kremen so he's going to make sure there's some room in there so excellent well memory from Corsair very fast great for overclockers comes in three different colors and what is the price range for this how is it how does it fit in with the rest of engine series and the Dominator series okay at the vengeance line and we have the Dominator line what vendors Pro is doing is sitting above the vengeance in terms of providing over performance it's actually getting up at the Dominator speeds but I should bring that a price point and well given this is sort of reaching towards that level towards dominate their line where do you see the denominator line heading if the vengeance series is becoming so strong is it I mean these Dominator line becoming obsolete well you have these new new memories coming out in cycles so you'll see an update thanks Rick
