so our coverage of CES is brought to you by Corsair and the Corsair one eye 40 eye 68 Corsair one pro eye 80 which is this guy right here this is my first time getting hands on with it and I got to tell you I'm pretty impressed first and foremost we've we've seen this this change where brands go or even buyers go from wanting a big case and then people want small cases and then what big cases again and then they want small cases again what we tend to find is as as performance really starts to you know get packed in smaller packages as performance really starts to scale up you find that the size of it also tends to scale down making small form-factor stuff very possible now this is the IAT which is the the Corsair one Pro this is an X 299 it's got an ass Rock Mini ITX motherboard in there using quad channel so dim memory it's also all crammed into approximately a 12 liter chassis these is what they're calling convection assisted cooling let me go ahead and show you what that means real quick so on the top right here you've got this fan that's got this metal and this is metal that this metal sort of grill on here and the fan is an exhaust fan so it's pulling heat up because heat naturally rises right so it's a weak force but it's a force of nonetheless that exists now on the side you'll find that you have these perforations is one here and one here and these sides can open up I can do this without breaking it and as you can see we have this little baby-baby kind of an AIO cooler in there and then we've got one over here too and this one's for the GPU now these are not conventional sizes this is not a 240 and this is a 120 this is proprietary specifically to this chassis you can see how they have the fittings coming off the side they do rotate but as you can see this is not a standard 120 or 140 it's also pretty slim if I had to guess it's about 25 millimeters about the thinness of a thin but there's no fans on it as you can see if we affect rotate this this way you can see the motherboard with the sodium slots this particular one has a 1920 X in it so that is a 12 core extreme processor that is also running the other water cooler on it very similar HIO cooler to might find like the h 100 pro or one the i-pro and on the GPU side of things this is also running a 20 80 TI with another fairly proprietary cooler on it so again the same type of a i/o pump but it also has a heatsink and a fan blowing down directly on the power delivery now that's what makes one of the questions that I had sort of answered before I could actually ask Demetri I had actually asked at the keynote that we were at couldn't you just make this a bare-bones system if people wanted to to use this build it up themselves the problem is with the way everything is very meticulously thought-out in terms of wire routing the wires that are pre-installed because the GPU solution is not it's not universal you could put an air cooler in here technically but then you're you really are gonna be choking it off even though it has this perforation right here they did say they tested it in fact the first Corsair one version of this last year did have offer an air cooled solution but even the blower style cooler it just was not optimal it was having so less than desirable thermal performance so these blocks and the cooler and the vrm and all that is pretty specific to the graphics card so if you had to gate with a graphics card already in it and exactly this motherboard those are two components you have control over which takes away the whole idea of a bare-bones typically bare bones is chassis power supply and maybe a couple of other features in there and that's it you have to build out the rest of it so because you would have to go with this cooling solution in this graphics card and this motherboard and this power supply then you technically are not bare bones at that point but you notice I said there's no fans on this because once you close it up and you've got this large fan on the top and it is held together by screws which we don't have here so I'm having to kind of like area so we are going to be doing some videos on this we are going to be doing a review of it we initially passed it through view last year because I was kind of like you know it's another pre-built system yada yada but I think that there's a lot of unique nifty features in this that warrant at least a teardown upgradability all that sort of stuff interestingly its using so dim memories sodium is laptop memory if you're not aware is just that's the format of it and you can get some pretty fast sodium the problem is fast so dim those two words together usually have a pretty premium cost to it versus like regular you know ddr5 or ddr4 sticks so yeah ddr5 and a PC to be nice but I digress so getting ddr4 so-dimm that's fast let's say like forty eight hundred megahertz or something like that you're gonna pay for it so it does come in a premium this particular model retails for 4999 taller so it definitely has a sting but it's amount of this amount of performance packed into 12 liters yeah someone out there wants this I'm sure which is why it exists so you can see that on our Channel later on but guys thanks for taking a look at this video of the Corsair 1 pro semi teardown I mean Steve and Kyle aren't the only people that can tear things down and - or whatever well Kyle technically built something up not a teardown we sort of toured it down but not really whatever yeah I'm losing my train of thought doesn't matter so guys anyway thanks for watching again a huge negative Corsair for sending us out here and as always we'll see you guys in a couple of minutes
