Yahiro noxious 2014 coverage is brought to you by and say XCOM technology connected alright guys so we're here with gigabyte and we're gonna be taking a look at this guy right here this is the bricks bro so this is an incredibly small form factor for what is actually a pretty decent budget or entry level gaming device so what we're looking at right here is actually bf4 playing on a Brix pro and it actually does come up with a couple different trim levels and stuff it actually does this one right here is actually gonna be running the AMD a8 apu but one of the cool things about this is that it does have the ability that can push out decent graphics performance we were just looking and I was actually just playing a little bit at 720p resolution so it does have the ability that can push out standard and pretty decent gaming graphics at medium levels so little stuff that low is that actually a medium it's not gonna play high so it's not gonna be like a at mid-range gaming device it's actually for somebody who's on the budget that wants actually a whole integrated solution rather than actually putting something together for themselves but one of the cool things about these devices that they are upgradable you can just unscrew four screws and you can actually update the the RAM if you want to and you can upgrade a couple of different things like the storage so this is a pretty neat little device for those of you who do want gaming on a budget price so now taking a look at the back of the device yet it's got multiple different connectivity ports so I mean it doesn't skimp on what you can connect to the brics pro we're gonna have multiple different USB ports as well some of the models will come up with at least two HDMI port so you can connect multiple monitors to it if you want taking a look at the front if I can flip it over without dropping it this specific model is gonna have two USB 3 ports as well as a audio out or headphone out port so this does actually have quite a bit of good connection options if you decide that you want to use this type of device for your gaming experience also it makes a pretty cool device we want to just attach it to the back of the monitor using the included face mounting bracket now one really cool thing that I forgot to mention a little while ago is that one of these devices is actually powering this seiki 4k monitor so it does have the ability they can push out 4k resolutions as well too if you guys want to have something on the back of your PC that can operate a little bit as an HTTP C so it's another really good use alright guys so taking a look now at some of the little brothers to the Brix Pro is the Brix itself now this actually comes from multiple different flavors in different formats we're taking a look right now it's really really tiny all unintegrated options which some of them actually use Haswell CPUs now what type of use case would be actually with this fit and actually makes a lot of sense for those who just want like a little HC PC without the actual gaming performance so you just want to use it as like a little media box it actually does have a quite a few uses if you just want something that's really ultra small Deacon tied behind a monitor for just doing basic web browsing and Internet Options and stuff like that as well - and some of the devices are upgradeable as well so you can actually just pop off the top like I said with the Brix Pro with a couple of screws you can upgrade the RAM as well as upgrade the well the storage space some of them actually have space for a two and a half inch hard drive so as you can see these are all really cool options but another really cool thing is that these two devices right here are completely fanless so they're all passively cooled alright you know what now that we're here at the gigabyte overclocking event and their little booth here set up let's actually go in bug see if we can bug some of the professional overclockers let's go Mike make an ask a question about this it looks like paint what the hell you putting on it it's liquid tape electrical tape so what would be the purpose of putting this on there to insulate the board from water so you don't have like if you have water build-up it doesn't get into any of the contacts or anything like that so what type of clocks you open together this one depends I'm gonna do four-way benching so it's a pain just to get that setup running at all so we'll see probably most likely heaven or a couple different benchmarks maybe like already stuff like that are you expecting any world record to be broken today oh definitely see some over all right go things like your timing it smells like paint and one of the coolest things that we've seen here today is basically an external GPU expander solution now this is very very very early prototype and it's actually connected to a Brix gaming system using a mini SAS HD connector port now this actually uses two cables and like I said this is very early prototype the actual goal is to be able to use a thunderbolt or USB or USB 3 in the future so that you can have that throughput and everything but the coolest thing is is that inside this box that has a 600 watt power supply is a GTX Titan so the greatest thing about this little box and like I said early prototype little box is the fact that it actually has the ability that you can put a high end GPU and attach it to something as small as two bricks or maybe even an ultrabook later down the road if you want that extra horsepower to play some games one of the other cool Brix devices that we found here at a gigabytes booth and the overclocking event is the Brix mats now one of the really cool things about this specific compact and I want to state that it's a very compact device is the fact that it's a network solution or a network storage solution it's a media center solution it's a entertainment solution for lack of a better word it's basically that one little device that you want to have in your living room that will connect all of your media it'll act as a that's like a cloud so you can actually stream your content your Android devices you can control it with this awesome little remote here that actually does have a keyboard on the back so basically all you have to do is you just swivel the keyboard around it controls the mouse on the screen itself now this specific device has for two and a half inch drive bay options so you can actually have quite a bit of storage especially to consider that Western Digital and Seagate have these awesome little one terabyte two and a half inch drives with a built-in SSD as well too so this means you can actually have a pretty powerful and a pretty substantial amount of storage in such a compact device sitting in your living room specifically for your storage and your media consumption and why don't they bother stopping why did I even bother snapping okay hey guys oh hey look it's Linus look it's Linus
