my coverage of Computex 2018 is sponsored by EVGA EVGA offers a wide range of products including GPUs cases power supplies motherboards and more to learn how to take your rig to the next level head to EVGA calm what's up guys Jesse sense here we're gonna do things a little bit differently today I'm gonna kind of give you guys sort of a first-person view I'm actually holding the camera and talking right now as we do this when you first walk in the nanjing exhibition hall or the conference centre this is what you're greeted with and obviously if you guys can't tell this is a very PC centric conference show so let's go ahead and walk and see if we can find oh hey there's Brian I'm not too crowded yet I mean this is literally the first day of the show this is the first floor and there are about five or six stories to this convention center so we're gonna go ahead and start making our way up here's a list of all of the keynotes and things that are happening the events here at Computex so if you guys want to you know go and see something there's a list if you don't have it on your phone here is the regular check-in for attendees and Industry affiliates we are press so we checked in through a different thing we know we're in the right place because we found security so this is the second floor you're greeted with the thermaltake booth one of the largest here regardless you're a position on Thermaltake and past issues they definitely have a huge presence here at Computex yes i'ma show you guys one of the coolest mods here I've seen so far and I'm showing you the plate of his name because I guarantee I would mutilate it but look at that that is pretty intense Wow yeah that's cool radiator built-in or the GPU looks like it's part of the engines and stuff it is really big - it's gonna check out somewhat ZOTAC test off okay so let's call my attention right here this is GC box VI 2 to 5 it's running on the Gemini Intel Gemini Lake P 4,000 CPU it is actually a fully the full functioning PC it's about the size of a two and a half inch v SD it is all passively cooled the scene view is pretty much similar like a Celeron it's got two USB type-c and that's how they micro micro power but this is capable actually running to 4k displays at 60 Hertz and I asked what the use case for this was they said digital signage but they said you can actually do a 4k playback at 60 Hertz something like Netflix or movies or whatever with it one forecast is here so I can't do in do a 4k at 16 but it can do a single display that is crazy so I'm starting to look at this as like I don't I mean I don't have cool specs on this like in terms of storage and all that yet but the use cases that come to mind on this now or just kind of making my head go crazy cuz I'm looking about car PCs and movie playback for cars and the NGO computing I was here under rendering videos or playing games or anything on it but the fact that you can do I mean you see these signs and stuff they're all over the place that one's not moving but there's a lot of a lot of moving signs around here there's one back over there at the isus booth so this is the kind of stuff that you should actually do with this type of form diagram something else they have on display here is a bunch of old color designs old and new actually just to kind of show like some of the innovation that they've gone through when they're designing their coolers so these are actually both current and past designs they've come up with when they're designing their GPUs so they went ahead and did this because I wanted to show you how even though there's no new GPUs coming out right now they just want to kind of show some of the design concepts that they've come up with in the past when it comes to GPU design so they've test things like different types of fan design different types of heat seek design different types of you know orientations of the fans this one on the top right here if you look at it you can see they're all actually kind of angled towards the back which definitely you know they're trying to zine open-air cooling like this to push it out the back of the case these actually have two more fans underneath the grills that are focusing the air inward towards the hottest part of the GPU so so cool designs they've tried in the past you may or may not see it in the future they said but they just wanted to display this so that you can see their current GPU designs they've come up with you know what what the road looked like to get there you know I know GPU designs keep getting bigger and bigger but this is just getting a little bit ridiculous so Jack no just kidding this is just a big display they're showing some of the new RGB technology they're integrating into their GPUs I think that should make one that big what do you guys say that's huge bambam man that man that man oh man bam bam bam an event around a Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam wow wow wow Ryan's trying out this it's like a lazy boy with a computer screen everything built into it oh its motion oh how does it fit for a big guy now we got to move did you break it you broke it this is kind of the ultimate just I want to relax hang out in a chair right feet he's got feet what do you think it's good all right it's about the coolermaster booth and they're showing off the C 700 M this is a basically an evolutionary upgrade to the 700 and he that I'm currently using as my editing great studio you can see your hair the emigres much stands for modular they've got the GPR into right now into sort of a chimney format where you can see it actually is on a hinge but it puts it right in front and because we rotated this is rotated a rotatable motherboard tray so that's how you want it we are basically putting the GPU right in front of the intake fans giving the hottest component inside your system more adequate cooling you can see there's actually some RGB that is built into the case the cool thing about the front I'm not gonna try and do it because I camera this piece right here comes off and they say so you do want take the trial for me so there's actually a contact at the bottom that is providing power and control to the RGB so you can see right there on the bottom so as soon as you take it off to clean your filter or access your front pans the RGB is all a part of you know the front panel and as soon as you put it back in makes contact and the light turns back on you see we also have a brushed aluminum finish to on where the buttons is too far on the front definitely very sleek bring them to the my easel 700p that I'm currently using but you can see that this design on the top for your exhaust fans because that is where you're exhausting all of your hot air from your system the motherboard tray is fully rotatable though so if you want to go with this sort of format you can you can put it upright and the back panel changes to accommodate that you have your standard split plate here like you use to your PSU shroud to block all your cables riser card is not included those that's one thing and worth pointing out but what they wanted to kind of accommodate here is those folks that sort of want to customize their case and make it their own but they're not modders can actually do this now with you know this was called it a peek at so I've been using by see 700m fully modular customizable and I like the idea of this chimney they call it a chimney there's nothing to take pants on the front obvious avenues and take baths but they call it the chimney mount for the GPU very interesting and unique they also have a mount right here for the SSD but that can also be a reservoir mount and that's what they're showing me you can actually move it to different parts of the shroud on where you actually want to imagine so that's pretty cool this is the master case SL 600 M case this is actually a prototype of something that they're working on right here what you're going to notice it's got to to pay you see my legs got to 200 millimeter fans on the bottom pulling air up through the chassis into the top and then out through the rear van let me show you the backside of this is my first thought on this this is the prototype where they're asking for feedback on you can see we have a rear fence right here you go see there's a block off for no fan right there and you'll notice this tray down here giving you a very different orientation for your motherboard alright now your motherboard graphics card and the reason for that is they're promoting this airflow from the bottom to the top now they were asking for feedback and I basically suggested that this they're gonna have another H 500 Fiasco on their hands if they go with this super tiny super fine hole type of mesh yes it is venting out the rear right here but as you know anytime air has to make a 90-degree Bend it becomes extremely the velocity of the air becomes extremely limited and it becomes reduced significantly so that's why there's also no fan right here because they won't promote all the air to go through the top one thing I'll suggest is maybe lift this up and raise it a little bit so that it's set being flat it's sitting here like this maybe just a little bit raised and then they open up the mesh in the middle right here so that was one of my suggestions but what you're noticing right here on the bottom this tray is rotatable they want the graphics cards to be up and down to promote a nice smooth airflow to the top if you have this going sideways then it becomes like a block off plate for the airflow so it does also accommodate SLI through riser cards so here obviously Reza cards to do that but if you don't want to do that and you want to say screw it I want my cards in there the normal way you just rotate it the other way back to normal by those screws around the for perimeter screws and then you can rotate the whole way to the GPUs mount that's one of the reasons why you also don't see any fans on the front here because it's not bringing in any air from the front whatsoever this where that that come from what happened there Oh someone get pissed cause they lost welcome to eSports so on the front here there's absolutely no air intakes because the air as I mentioned is coming in through the bottom of the case now one thing they also have right here you can see we've got some maybe we should focus here you can see we've got lit RGB or not RGB but just LED lit USB fan controller on the left and then a fan Charlotte on the right but this is actually motion sensitive so if you wave your hand in front of it that's what makes the lights and stuff turn on this is a concept they're working on I asked them at how expensive this was to incorporate they're like this is a little bit pricey I asked if maybe they would consider not doing this to save price and they were like no we want to do this so I just thought I would show that but as you can see this is what cruel masters kind of working on and I guess we are looking at a potential October release date on this guy this is the SL 600 mm we got here so we are at Acer and this right here is the predator X 20 set a lot of glare the X 27 144 Hertz refresh rate for millisecond response time HDR for Cape and alito reconnaissance aka a $2,000 pound forgive me and stuff I know what you guys think would you pay $2,000 for this and I mean you could technically buy TV but yeah I guess obviously the consumers choice you make your own choices I wouldn't buy it alright guys we are at Jessica right now we're going to talk about a new stick they've got her here this is their tried NZ RGB royal so it is actually like a polished aluminum which is very classy as you can see but it also has this sort of a crystal top where the RGB is actually inside of the module refracting off of all of those different angles that are kind of cut into the plastic top right there so it's got kind of a very crystalline look to it it's not a direct our GV lit piece like you're used to seeing with their top it's not available yet so I'm available until well later this year I guess this is only like been confirmed a thing two days ago but they also are showing off some other things I got here we got some low profile Ares X ddr4 they admit that they've been lacking low profile with a lot of their memory this is the flare X something we're used to seeing obviously with the rise and stuff here's the Ripjaws feed all of this is taller profile memory which can impact a lot of air coolers but this is obviously their crown jewel for this year be royal it's tell me what you think about that it's obviously quite a bit different cuz it's what you used to seeing with Ripjaws this is this sort of a lips top panel that it's translucent plastic and the RGB is directly underneath that don't get me wrong it looks good but it's definitely different so you guys tell me what you think about the Royal alright guys that's gonna wrap up our first day here at Computex 2018 do me a favor head on over to EVGA calm thanks to EVGA for sponsoring our trip this year and what I need from you guys is to tell me what you would like for us to go and cover if you've already seen some things and how you like this first person format it's different obviously I don't a cameraman here with meets it this year it's just me and Brian and I thought this would be a neat kind of first-person perspective so we're gonna go ahead on out the door we're gonna find coffee thanks for watching guys I will see you in the next
