2014-01-09
your hardware conducts 2014 CS coverage is brought to you by and see IX technology connected right here r9 290x lightning this is the next generation of the Lightning card that we have designed we remove the GPU reactor for this one yeah so the reason why we do that because we want it we knew that AMD does it have a cap on the overclocking so that's why we even though they have 28 8 28 pins required but the six pin is actually optional so you don't have to plug it in you only the only reason why you wouldn't want to plug in if you're really going to do like more extreme overclocking because it gives me the more power okay now can he's also a little bit more about this heating of the fan of rape because this is probably one of your most innovative cooling solutions correct yeah so with the first generation 780 lightning that we just recently did that we have like about seven or six super pipes right so now we reduce the superpipe 24 here and maybe one there so that's five super pipe but then we increase the fins and the thickness so that the air flow will be actually better yeah and it'll be more balanced on the way to like and taking a look at this let's see meaning for like the smaller fan and center so the reason why we had the smaller fan is that we we want to do like a fan control so the 25 the two sides and the headed own controller and the middle one it has old fan controller too yeah that is one bad ass card and taking a look at some the other one C of the 270x here as well too with the new and innovative that's the twin frozer for yeah that intro so forth I like about this let's listen Ritter this one is the first and only right now in the market the 760 ITX card so there's no other manufacturer have produced 768 X and especially for this card the reason why is really good is one thing is that it retained the clock speed and the performance as the 760 reference card but it has a smaller size and more compact so it's really good with the calm bowling with the you know z87i gaming motherboard that we sell and also it has a special fan of this is called a radix friend so when this fan starts spinning it'll air flow will actually spread out to like all different size instead of just no one side or back so this is actually something new yeah that's really going the parable up is roughly about the exact same right yes exactly the same with eight mins so this that's uh you know what for your ITX gamer I think that'd be one hell of a good option especially if you want to go for like one of those that like really small form-factor rigs I think that was dmos yes definitely that's something that you want to go with with this card and also our gaming motherboard and you know a lot of people are testing it and they say it's pretty good combo together yeah awesome well guys we've taken a look at some incredible GPUs some brand new motherboard technology that is coming out featuring Kaveri CPUs and yeah that's that's pretty much it for MSI today guys make sure that you go and subscribe to our YouTube channel and continue hitting that like button as much as humanly possible and every single one of our videos thanks again guys and keep it classy you know
