what's up guys Jays $0.02 here at CES 2019 and we are at the be quiet suite we're gonna check out what they've got to show but first check out our sponsor Corsair who debuted in the new Corsair one HP d desktop so go and check them out in the link below again a huge thank you to Corsair for sponsoring our trip this year ok so be quiet is showing us a new white edition case why it's kind of making a comeback we've seen white kind of fade away for a while and now it's kind of the thing again and this is a new dark bass 700 limited edition case so there's 3,000 units being made it's got this badge which is a medal badges put it anywhere you want so it's not pre affixed you can put on the front the side but this is a very very popular case so the dark bass 700 is technically a mid tower but it's a very silent optimized case as is pretty much the entire case lineup from be quiet I mean the name kind of tells you what to expect there right but we've got a clear tempered glass side panel not a tinted panel which is what you would find like on the 801 the the dark bass 801 we did the how to build a computer in that's got a tinted panel but the white case here with the clear is very bright so if you put RGB lighting in here or any lighting it's gonna really illuminate nicely we've also got two of the 140 millimeter silent wings fan so these are a premium fan here in a premium case but it's only gonna cost about $10 more than the current dark space 700 which you could find in black so it's a it's a limited edition case with a very minimal increase in cost but something that you could say hey look I got a limited case and you can pretty much do anything with it now white it's very subjective it's interesting we've talked to case manufacturers before like why do we see why-- cases and they go away and they come back and obviously has to do with adoption rate it costs a lot of money to make a case in and another color and fits not move adopted then they sit on shelves and it's kind of like a Cosmo becomes absorbed and unfortunately if it doesn't do well you don't see it but white like I said it's made a comeback in fact Kyle even did a build in this case which we're gonna take a look at separately and we're gonna see how Kyle's build skills are and we're gonna give a little review of a little review of that little guy but I digress the dark bass 700 it's got a lot of features that you'd expect it's got a vertical mount so you can show off your dual slot GPUs the reason why I mentioned dual slides unfortunately with a lot of the new 20 8020 atti and even some of the 20 60 cards they are triple slot designs so wouldn't fit in here because it only supports a dual slot card if you have a dual slot GPU you can add your own riser card and of course show off your graphics card whether it be a water cooled or air cooled by using the vertical mount and of course it has all of the silent optimizations of like the sound absorption pad on the back panel it's extra thick you've got a solid panel on the front that brings an air through perforations on the side to give you a pretty decent airflow we were kind of concerned with the dark bass 801 when we did the build that maybe we're gonna have some temperature issues but even with an AIO on the front no issues whatsoever in fact that was that was pretty surprising and really mean to see so I don't think there would be any cooling issues necessarily with this guy but remember it is silent optimized first and airflow second but depending on how hard you're pushing your systems and what your fan profiles are like and your overclocks are like this usually isn't gonna be a problem now speaking of airflow and air cooling I'm kind of looked at as being like the water cooling guy but I'll be the first to admit water cooling can be a complete pain in the ass sometimes when it comes to maintenance so let's take a look at some air coolers if they're showing off here so that you can see how well you can actually cool your system virtually maintenance-free okay so the way you get more cooling with air coolers is you just make really big towers or like we seen from the dark rock Pro for it is a dual Tower opposite twin tower plate they call it we've got some push-pull here we've got an offset fan to give you clearance for obviously your modules and one thing that's different about this we kind of saw this last year at CES and it's obviously fully retail available now is it includes a long screw driver that you can take this top panel off right here and it goes down through the middle so that you can actually mount it a lot easier they listen to the feedback of end users that said this is way too difficult to install because it's got such a big circumference and it takes up so much footprint in terms of how big the tower sticks out over the sides a lot of motherboards had conflicts with high vrm heat sinks to where once you put this down you couldn't get a tool in there to actually mount it to its mounting mechanism so they thought about that and so this isn't really too much change it's got ceramic coating here on the actual heat pipes so they can make it black without the drawbacks of just painting it so you got better thermal conductivity thermal performance and it obviously is all nice and black which looks very aesthetically pleasing now is actually got a 250 watt TDP and they also have a TR for version if you're running thread Ripper so it's optimized for that but they want to appeal to a wider market a more affordable market and still not have to sacrifice on cooling so they're introducing the dark rock slim which got all the same features of the v4 and the pro which is for copper heat pipes that are again ceramic coated black so that they look great they've got the silent wings fan on here which are giving you good static pressure and good acoustic performance and it fits in a lot more cases you can see right here we've got the indents on the backside here for this this is kind of like a noise and thermal optimized design and the heatsink it's not just a ton of surface area there's actually a reason for this but this will fit in a lot more cases and they're telling me it's gonna cost around $50 so it's gonna give you a very affordable very attainable price point and give you very good performance on that and then my personal favorite here this is the TF the dark ROC TF which is just this vertical or horizontal mounted behemoth of a push-pull cooler that gives you a lot of vertical clearance as you can see compared to the pro quite a few millimeters there probably if I'd to guess at least 15 millimeters of difference there but it's gonna fit in more low-profile cases like home theater PC stuff like that so we're gonna do some stuff here moving forward in 2019 specifically regarding air cooling because I wanted to show people how you can get a lot of performance and even a lot of overclocking Headroom and you don't have to deal with the headache and the maintenance of water cooling so we're gonna talk about this coming up in 2019 you can expect to see more be quiet on our channel you guys can expect to see more videos here from us at CBS 2019 once again a huge thank you to Corsair for sponsoring our trip check out what they're offering and link in description below
