CES 2017 coverage is brought to you by MSI and the new Z 270 chipset and by EVGA our trusted graphics card partner what's up guys JC cents here at CES 2017 and you knew I wasn't going to come all the way out here and not check out my friends over here at EVGA so we've got a couple things to talk about here no surprise kb lake motherboards z 270 is a thing and they've keeping it going with their stinger line the further win k as well as the classified bring some new features on there like you to connection if you guys don't know what that is look it up it's a new interface for mass storage that doesn't use cpu PCIe lanes but still considered a PCI Express IO so you guys can learn all about that if you check out some accumulate coverage so motherboards there is no big surprise we've got a new laptop here to be taking a look at this is the SC 15 this is their 15-inch 120 Hertz g-sync gaming panel at 1080p panel in a 15 inch form factor all aluminum unibody case right here absolutely love the form factor of this I mean it's it's it's thin it's extremely sturdy even on the bottom here if you look it's got like an anti slip pad so it's not sliding all around on your table I love that you know laptops is one of those things you either are into and appreciate a well bit lap or well-built laptop or you're just kind of like whatever I don't care about it but you have to appreciate this whether you're a gamer or just a someone who's traveling for work and you need it for productivity it looks good it's not in your face but it's got a GTX 1060 you know it's a Pascal GPU in there full-blown 1060 temperatures are well under control we will be taking a look at this in the future I know you guys are still waiting on some su-17 stuff we'll figure out where we're gonna go with that but the form factor of SC 15 is also really well what you guys know I like water cooling well EVGA likes water cooling now too so come look at this all in one water cooling units are there no surprise to the market but who would have thought that a GPU manufacturer is now creating all-in-one water cooling loops here with a very interesting fan design in fact I don't have a lot of information on the span yet I don't even know what it's called hey anyone know what this fans called the name for it Jacob we'll just call it the super spoopy fans that's kind of what it looks like here but the design here is it's high static pressure it's on a radiator noise optimized here they've got some channels kind of carved into the frame of the fan which is also going to channel air in a more straight fashion rather than a because I've seen the way air flow goes through a fan that's not straight it's very angled so that's a based on this design that's what I'm assuming they're going by we'll take a look at that in the future but all the one cooling unit here it is an ASA tech pump in there so you've got that quality and it is also RGB but here's something that I think is very very interesting you guys have seen the hybrid cards I've showed those ever since they debuted we've now got the hybrid qrg this is a quick-release system here so if you've got any of these eco system parts here we're about to show you you can piece together your own completely water-cooled system and not ever have to touch the fluid because it's all prefilled so this right here is a qrg hybrid card prefilled and you can see you've got your quick releases on there so what you do is you grab your card to say okay I've got my card you decide I want to go ahead and throw a CPU loop or cooler in there too so you get the you know the CPU cooler itself separately and then you decide well I need a radiator and you've got a lot of sizes to choose from here they got 120 they got 142 40s to 80s 360s you name it they're also pre filled with quick disconnects on there you bolt these all up in your system and you just plug them in they're prefilled there's no bleeding to worry about there's no leaking to worry about and you have the performance of like a full custom loop with your GPU in there and you never even have to touch the fluid I looked right at them when I said what are you trying to do you trying to put me out of business I know I don't approve EVGA now this is an awesome design here water cooling the benefits of water on your micro processors is it's proven you guys know it's it's one of the best things you can do to keep your systems cool and keep the longevity they're what people are afraid to do it this is an awesome way to incorporate that into your builds I think we'll take a look at something the future will piece together a loop well put it together and we'll see how the performance really is on that so this is something new last year EVGA kind of made a splash in the chassis market with the DG 87 very big case it can accommodate a lot of components a lot of hardware a four-way SLI if you wanted to fully water-cooled but they've now kind of toned it down a little bit here with the new DG 7 series so this is a mid Tower that can hold all of your components but as you can see it's gone the way of tempered glass side panel I'm gonna leave this one on we have a build over there we can take a look at so this is the DG 7 here that's been fully outfitted it's got a 1080 classified in there it's got one of their all-in-one Kawara cooling loops it's got a intake fans here on the front but plenty of room to be able to incorporate front mounted radiators if you want to go water cooling we have a cutout here that allows for the routing of cables and/or water cooling reservoirs whatever you want to do but it also has a shroud here to separate the PSU compartment from the main compartment of the case more so just making it nice and streamlined now it's important to keep in mind what you're looking at here though is also eight early sample these aren't going to be probably make it to market until around Computex time so we're looking at you know a few more months before we see these but it's always exciting to see these these early samples of what these chesses are going to look like so consider this as a very early sneak peak can't come to the EVGA suite without talking about graphics cards check this out we are looking at the new icx cooler found here on the 1084 the wind - now it's got a new backplate on here as you guys can see it's got some vents in there to allow heat to dissipate where it needs to aesthetically it's very pleasing it's a satin finishes it looks very nice on the surface kind of looks the same but they've changed something here with the way it mounts together we're instead of only the four main screws on the GPU holding on the entire heatsink which could create some of that sag everything's actually very rigid now where the perimeter screws on this backplate are holding the entire heatsink to the PCB which is huge because I hated feeling some of that flex when it wanted to separate because the only screws holding the heatsink to the backplate were these four right here so big design change there I'm happy to feel that cuz now when you hold it it just feels like a big solid piece of just gaming meat and I like that so the a CX RC v the IC X I'm gonna say a CX probably for ideon for a while here they're moving forward with their cooler design and that's actually good to see so you learn more about that later in the year some of the changes coming here to some of the coolers but now we have moved from a CX to icx on the for the win - and that's something definitely you know I'm gonna take a look at you guys know graphics cards I've like turned in the GPU channel somehow anyway guys that is it here for the EVGA suite at CES 2017 again a huge thank you to my sponsors for getting us here official motherboard sponsor is MSI and of course EVGA our trusted graphics boards partner and make sure you guys are subscribed so you don't miss any of our coverage plenty of it I mean working myself into the ground to make sure you guys get all this coverage so with that I'm gonna get out of here and we will see you in the next one
