2017-11-22
alright let's power the song okay hmm what's wrong with you why are you not purring on what's up guys Eber here with hurricane axe and welcome back to another behind the damned episode so this week has been pretty frustrating for me I have I was supposed to test out a new bare-bones system from asrock and also test out a new cool from an ER max both didn't turn out that well so I'll talk about that shortly so I just decided to actually make this vlog scene just discussing some of the frustrations I've been experiencing with two of those products but also give you guys some updates as to you know what's sort of going around the studio some of the upcoming projects or kind of some of some of the upcoming reviews I'll be coming to the channel and give you guys an update on my setup and you know my studio so let's get into it the new be quiet dark based 700 packs a fully modular spacious interior with an option to invert your motherboard tray with excellent radiator support and an outstanding fan controller it also comes with a Type C port RGB lighting and a tempered glass side panel check it out in the description below alright so first up I want to give you as a quick update on the LG Graham notebook so if you watched my recent on my previous BTS episode I did mention that my Graham notebook displayed some screen problems so I did send back that unit the defected unit back to LG they sent me back the replacement unit and it all works out great by the way this is not a rice and PC I just had to so if you may recall I just recently did a video on a rise in mobile processors explained and so I thought of a cool idea of probably putting one of those rising stickers on this laptop and then creating a thumb out of it I think it's all pretty well so yeah anyways screen works great it's all functioning Justices should but I haven't used this notebook in a really long time here's why I've been using the nine point seven inch iPad pearl as my portable I would say computing device because I'm starting to use this to write my scripts listen to music watch youtube videos and that's pretty much kind of all I need in a portable form factor this does a pretty good job I mean first of all it's a nine points image display so I can easily edit scripts off of and interestingly enough I can use the chrome app extension or the remote desktop control that's built inside the chrome and control my desktop PC with my iPad which is great all right so a few months back I did a video comparing air versus liquid coolers on socket tr4 and a lot of you guys brought up some good points as to you know why didn't include AIO solutions that were dedicated towards a thread Ripper specifically you know some of you brought up the fact that enter max came up with their custom design ai yo cooler and I actually have that over here so anima we did reach out to enter max and they happily sent over their lick lick lick tech I might be anyways I will be making a dedicated video on this a IO cooler and of course I had the results to my previous test so comparing the Noctua coolers and the ones from NZXT but the problem is that I just can't get this to work with my system so let me explain what I've been dealing with alright so here's the problem I've installed a stand outs actually installing the NMX chorus pretty straightforward you install the included standoffs on the socket and then you just mount the pump the problem is that the actual bracket doesn't go through the standoffs actually so I have three of them that are already hind' but it's just this one over here the bottom right hand side that just doesn't get in it's just not compatible I feel like the the actual bracket is offset it just a bit north or bit south so you know it's probably just a misalignment or I could just do our maybe there's another boarding compatibility not really sure I have reached out to our max about this and the replacement floor is actually on its way so hopefully I'll be able to get it sometime next week and figure out this problem because it's it's kind of frustrating I've never experienced this with an AI or cooler before no I did swap the standouts to see if you know that would solve the issue but that was not the case it was certainly the pump bracket I tried multiple times so I'm waiting for replacement cooler let me know if you've experienced a similar issue with this particular AIO cooler or just any air coolers in general have you experienced incompatibility issues let us know in the comments down below so this is the asrock desks mini GTX it's a micro STX based a desktop PC and it comes as a bare-bones get directly from asrock so the user has to populate you know his or her choice of CPU Ram and you know storage options now in terms of specs I mean I've loaded it with an i5 7600 K 16 gigabytes of ddr4 so dim memory kit and I've also installed a two and a half inch SSD that's actually behind the system so you'll have to pull out the motherboard tray and populate the two SSDs over here it connects via a proprietary SATA connector but long story short I'm having a really tough time powering this guy so it uses this 4 pin connector I did plug in the included power brick and the cables and stuff and it just doesn't power on so I'm not sure what the issue is I tried a few troubleshooting steps so I checked my CPU installation so I made sure if it was installed properly I reset at the RAM we swap the RAM modules even you know uninstalled oh I removed the MXM GPU and I reinstalled it again double-check my SATA SSD as well I also removed the front panel connector try jump-starting it with my screwdriver no luck guys and of course there's actually I'm not sure if there is an option to clear the CMOS on on this system so I tried everything but I was unfortunately out of luck so I did reach out to asrock I did send him an email they are sending me a replacement unit one of the things that interests me the most about the destiny GTX from asrock is the power that it packs in such a small form-factor so the model that I have over here comes with gtx 1060 but the user can also pick up another model that comes with a 1070 or even a 1080 and God knows how much heat that's gonna output but I'm excited to test out the replacement model obviously to see you know what kind of performance can it bring to the table when you put it against a laptop or even desktop class PC just so you're aware we actually teamed up with LG to give away a two thousand dollar gaming PC and one of their recent ultrawide monitor is a 34 use 89 gee you can actually check out the review for that monitor right over here and yes the contest is international so anyone is eligible to enter good luck to the contestants and yeah super excited to announce the winner for this contest next up I wanted to give you guys a sneak peak on some of the smart phones that I have lined up to review in the upcoming months so currently I'm testing the pixel to not the excel so this is the baby brother for the to excel and I just I just triggered Google assistance the squeeze feature is is interesting I mean it's sometimes get annoying but you'll obviously have the option to turn it off but I'm just too lazy to do that yeah I'll be testing the two or the pixel two for the next little while and then I'll be switching gears to the V 30 which is again a very underrated smartphone for this year not a lot of people have been talking about it but it seems like a really good option especially for someone who's looking for a solid Android smartphone but I'm excited to test it out can't give you guys my full verdict on that yet this is the Q 6 from LG it's a budget oriented phone but it does feature pretty much all the essentials that you know you would require like a good camera go to screen edge to edge actually and yeah that'll be pretty interesting well that pretty much concludes this behind the dam episode I hope you enjoyed and feel free to let me know your thoughts on you know some of the stuff that I've been dealing with like the NMX cooler the problems that I've been facing with that and of course the asrock desk mini GTX what do you guys think about that do you think it's something that a lot of people might be interested in especially for its compact nature and performs that it packs I can give you guys my full verdict yet because a my current sample isn't powering on and I'm waiting for the replacement unit but I'm curious to see how that performs I'm also really excited to test out the new camera on the new pixel 2 smartphone because it's been receiving a lot of praise online so definitely stay tuned for the review also stay tuned for the review of the V 30 from LG underrated smartphone of 2017 but I'm sure I'm gonna enjoy my time with that but that pretty much concludes this episode hope you guys enjoyed i'm eber with Haruka knox thank you so much for watching make sure to subscribe
