CES 2017 coverage is brought to you by MSI and the new Z 270 chipset and by EVGA our trusted graphics card partner it's that time of year again guys CES 2017 we're gonna go in here we're gonna walk around we're gonna see what we can find what we're gonna the goal here is to kind of give you a look and feel of what it's about to be at the Consumer Electronics Show this is where some of the world's most innovative tech is debuted and we're gonna walk around get lost which is the best of all I'm gonna get law you guys always tell me to get lost we're gonna do it as CES which is really cool so let's go see what we can find I think I might have just seen one of coolest pieces of tech I've seen yet on the showroom floor and it's a collaboration between Intel and Oakley now Intel is not new to the wearables scene but they've teamed up with Oakley to bring you a piece of wearable that's gonna give you telemetry on various types of sports like jogging running and cycling you guys know I'm a cyclist I'm doing the best I can to try and monitor all of the miles the climbs the suffering score the heart rate and now having all of this built into sunglasses sunglasses are very similar to ones I already own is a big deal because they have a built-in Bluetooth connection to whatever computer you're running on your smart device and headphones built into them like earbuds style and you can run them independently or have both them in your ear at the same time but it's also voice-activated so if you want to know what your current segment speed is or what your performance is it will tell you in real-time messing around with the computer mounted to your handlebars is not only cumbersome but it's also dangerous to take your hands off your handlebars when you're moving at full speed earlier this year I took a look at the LGB 6p which is an amazing OLED TV or organic LED now it meets all the standards if you expected HDR 10 Dolby HDR but we're looking at here behind me is actually Sony's version of an OLED panel so now we're starting to see some competition in the OLED space which is huge because that's going to allow pricing to start coming down and because of that now you're going to have more options in the industry now this one also has a really unique design where the back what looks like kind of a leaning stand is actually a subwoofer is a subwoofer built into the flat panel TV which is great because normally when you have a thin form-factor TV you don't get good sound to go along with it in your forest with some sort of an external audio solution but you might actually have sound on this TV that's worth talking about with a built-in subwoofer now if you want to mount it on the wall it just collapses on itself then you use the bravia accessories to mount it on to wall mounts and how many details about whether or not it's proprietary or not like LG had earlier last year or even in 2015 rather but we gotta wait because this is super-secret they wouldn't give me any details they wouldn't give me any of the nits information they wouldn't tell me any details about the oil ad technology they're using so it's one of those situations once again as CES where we have to learn more about it later in the year what I thought was worth talking about because I have never seen a subwoofer built in to an ultra-thin flat panel TV and what the subwoofer on the back folded in it's about as thick as a standard LCD TV when they first launched with flat panel tech you guys know I want to take my reviews to the next level so I wandered over here to the FLIR booth where they actually just handed me out a FLIR one with a lightning connector and what this does is this allows me to connect a FLIR camera to my smartphone turning my smartphone into an infrared imaging camera so now I can start looking at temperature differences on PCBs and motherboards graphics cards whatever water loops even so that we can start doing more in-depth testing we have a visual representation of what's happening with the temperatures and not just me telling you it's 50 C 50 C doesn't mean anything if you don't know what's happening around it so we can see how much that 50 C is affecting the neighboring parts and components on your PCB overclocking we can see visual temps on V RMS on motherboards I'm really excited about incorporating this into my review lineup so yeah it's actually not that expensive either I believe it's about two hundred and fifty dollars this is already on market it's not one of those we have to wait till later to see it but it also supports lightning cable as well as micro USB so you can turn any smartphone into a forward-looking infra-red that is pretty awesome okay cases man it's hard to shop for a case I'll tell you but we're over here at in wind right now checking out someone the latest that they have to offer and this is the Tao to point O in wind has come a long way in the years that they've been around and the Tao 2.0 is kind of like their this is what the best we have to offer is to the community it's got to 360 radiator support it's got touch sensors on the front for the buttons not actual buttons they're touch sensors on there and all of the glass on here is beveled glass it's diamond-cut it is mirrored as well so when the system is on if it's lit inside you can see inside the system but as soon as you turn it off it turns into a mirrored finish not just a blacked out piece of tempered glass all these angles and things on there make it look absolutely phenomenal availability and pricing on this is still not announced but you can definitely assure yourself that a premium product like this is going to carry a premium price tags so we'll be looking for that here hopefully in q1 but again no hardship date on so we'll keep we'll keep an eye out I rarely talk about fans but n when is showing something here that I find very very interesting they have a new fan coming out here called the Aurora it's a daisy-chained modular system and actually of selling this as a kit that comes with three fans a remote control the control box and two LED strips now what's the big deal about that we'll check this out it has software that you can use inside your system to control it if you want USB connected to the breakout box here but it also has a remote control that you can use to change things like the different modes that are in there fans speed is also controlled on here you can turn your fans up and down it's got this little rocket ship button rocket ship button so that when you push that be fans regardless of whatever mode you're in are going to ramp up to their fastest speed so that's almost like the go baby go button if you will but you can control the brightness of these with the remote control as well and you can put it in auto mode there are some pretty crazy modes on this I mean if you guys want to check out different sorts of wave patterns colors you name it there's a lot of options on this tons and tons of modes as you can see we got a little bit of a wave effect going there but the best part about this is the fact that these are daisy changing so no longer do you have to run an individual fan cable to every single fan say you're doing a radiator says it's got 480 rad there's four fans for power cables and unless you're going to be cutting those and soldering them together and then they're only good for that one particular situation you can now hook your fan up have your cable going to the fan and then daisy chain them with these small cables and in the kit it also includes the extensions as well so you can get the first fan plugged in wherever you want it this is gonna be a huge deal when it comes to water cooling and keeping things tidy in your system now we're looking at maybe a cutie launched on this it's the worst part about CES is some of the stuff we're looking at we can't get right now so things like pricing again have no information for you on that but I can tell you they do come as a kit don't know anything about the bearing that's in there but they also have a rubber shock mount on the sides of the fans reducing vibration and such like that I can't tell anything about volume of them either we're in such a loud environment have no idea how loud they are but you can bet your but I'm gonna be checking these out in the future there is so much to bring you I guys hope you guys kind of like the walk through there the sort of a look and feel of CES there's always so much to cover once again a huge thank you to our sponsors for bringing us here for CES 2017 MSI my trusted motherboard supplier and as well as EVGA my trusted graphics card partner
