CES 2017 coverage is brought to you by MSI and the new Z 270 chipset and by EVGA our trusted graphics card partner Consumer Electronics Show 2017 checking out what Patriot has to offer it's been a few years since I've worked with Patriot so I'm excited to check this out because may not be new to you but it's new to me that they've actually jumped into the peripherals game here and we've got a couple things we're to check out now I know what you're thinking peripherals are they're hard to shop for I feel I mean I already have kind of compared it to shopping for shoes if it's not perfect it doesn't fit right and it's not the color you want you're not gonna buy it and with there being so many flavors in the industry it's hard to choose I have a hard time picking peripherals myself we're gonna start out here with the V 570 which is the headset it's pretty interesting because got surface mounted controls on here volume control and it's got an interesting switch right here this right here activates an additional subwoofer that's basically built into the headset it's a 30 millimeter driver hooked up to this switch on top of a 40 millimeter driver that's already driving this stereo headphones now this is if you're playing action games battlefield one csgo whatever the explosions are happening that's literally going to shake your head that's what it's kind of designed to do and I'm happy that they made this a surface switch because if you decide like I don't want that much base suddenly you've got a headache that day you don't to go into software and fiddle with it to turn that off it's just a service mounted switch or if you really want to feel like you're in the middle of you know battlefield one you turn that on and your vision might go even a little bit well you know you turn on a subwoofer in a car and it starts to vibrate you might feel that if you want it it's there so it's also got a retractable microphone that's going to be up and out of the way if you're not using it I like this design rather than the ones that kind of push up in and out of the ear can because it's easy to get to they've also got a mouse over here this is the v3 70 this is a weight adjustable mouse which is kind of a big deal because you're holding it you're moving it you're gaming with it speed is everything tracking is everything if we got the cover off here you can see you've got quite a few different 30 gram weights here to adjust the weighting of the mouse how you want it I like a nice heavy Mouse so I would leave all the weights in but maybe you want something that's light for real fine movements you can do that we've got RGB on here that is customizable so you can pick the color you want or just let it kind of go disco mode and do its thing and speaking of colors here is the b7 70 which is their new mechanical keyboard here kale switches available in different colors this is a feel like a red there's no bump in there so you have different lighting profile buttons here it's all customizable so you can adjust this on a key by key basis you can also do it in sectors of the keyboard or you can just let it kind of go in some of the pre-configured modes well it's also got a braided cable on all of these peripherals we've taken a look at so it means you're gonna have durability with the cable so if you if you're traveling with it going to land parties school basement whatever so yeah I'm actually kind of impressed with what I see here when it comes to peripherals because I'm I'm a hard guy to make excited about peripherals you guys know that but I like what I see here okay so I've wandered over here to the gigabyte bench where they have some overclocking going on you got a lot of custom systems going on right here some water cooled stuff and I noticed something something they didn't even point out to me when they were showing me uh what they had here and this graphics card is actually an norris branded graphics card as you can see right here it's got some some things on here that I haven't seen in any graphics card yet we're gonna talk about that for a second but I wanted to point out that Oris is actually the premium line within gigabyte you're gonna be seeing more Auris products coming out we've got a Norris gaming 5 motherboard right here looks very similar to gigabyte stuff and that's because there's a ship that's happening here where were they going to be kind of taking the gaming stuff the premium stuff and it's all going to be having the Auris brand on there but what makes the scraps card different this looks an awful lot like the 1080 extreme we took a look at right where I right fix the shroud on here but look at the back of this it actually has a full copper rear heatsink touching the back of the GPU socket which is where a lot of heat is actually expelled you know heat goes both ways so you pull the front of it what about the back well check this out pull copper backplate on there all right assuming I'm in the backplate it's a heat sink it's heavy too this is really heavy it's also got a LED right here which will shine with the Auris logo you can turn this off I believe if you don't want to see that but this is like an early prototype that says even have anemia I assume this is a 1080p CD but I could be wrong but I definitely want to show that to you something else I want to show you here you guys remember the x99 phoenix motherboard that i put in coconut monkeys build when we did his this is the new horas motherboard here looks an awful lot like that this is a Z 270 motherboard but you might notice something it has an integrated ek waterblock on the VRMs up here so this is either a heatsink or a water block whichever you don't put water in this what does it heatsink without it if you want to incorporate a motherboard into your cooling loop it is a full copper each a water block so you can now incorporate the motherboard in your loop without having to buy anything extra that's pretty freakin awesome and of course it's got all the things you'd expect from you know the was just now the Horus motherboard but anyway the reason why I'm showing you that is I just wanted to kind of prepare you for the ship that's happening here where gigabytes moving the premium stuff over to the oars brand everything right now is room temperature okay inside you see the CPU head down inside there it's attached to the CPU CPU is deleted it's the i7 7700 and what we're gonna do is you guys come over here this this is the basically the simplicity of of our machine you just push the button set the CPU point we let's say we're gonna go to minus 40 I hit minus 40 they send minus 42 and it just goes there so that's that's that's basically it you can't really hear it but probably if you get close you can actually hear the hear the lm-2 running so what's happening is inside here when you get this really cold inside when it gets down to minus ten minus 20 minus 30 it starts building up condensation and then ice and ice and then ice and you ruin your gear if you don't if you don't what do you call it insulated right okay well with our purge case because it doesn't allow any moisture inside the case and it purges out all the moisture out of the case continuously and it hermetically seals in the case so at the end when you walk you can just walk away and it will stay dry inside right but with our with our purge case you don't have to insulate anything with any insulation so you can see right here you can watch the temperatures on our on the controller drop and as you see how it's dropping its going to go to 42 and and rest there so you can set it any anywhere from 70 degrees Celsius because it will maintain you can actually use this as a regular cooler like if you wanted to cool at room temperature you wanted to keep your CPU continuously at 23 the you just set it at 23 degrees Celsius and it'll just keep it there so you don't have to blow through a whole lot of liquid nitrogen if you're loading up drivers or something like that the range oh yeah so anywhere from 50 degrees positive I think actually 70 degrees down to minus 196 as cold as liquid nitrogen yet this will regulate it at that temperature so these guys are trying really hard to get me to do ln2 so we're talking we're gonna see if maybe a collab in the future where these guys introduced me to ln2 and I build a rig specifically for that because I like overclocking but now it's like it's kind of boring now because I only go as far as I can go on water and that's easy so maybe maybe you guys will see that in the future he's gonna I could see it on it's like we're gonna do it we're gonna do it I like Ilena we're coming down all right let's get out of here before he starts costing me money
