what's going on guys Jase two cents here let me bring you a pointless video well one more pointless than they normally are but I digress that's besides the point cuts points do you want to be cooler you want to be more desirable you know what guys I got new merch it's available now crowd me calm /jc sense we got zip up hoodies we got tri-blend we got a new logo I digress since 2012 it's at the Grist logo you guys been asking for that anyway all right guys live it up we can all kinds of stuff zip up hoodies beanies polos don't take my word for it cuz obviously I can't do this ad so just look in the description below and you guys will find the link Thanks so this is the 28th ETI XC ultra from EVGA you can still see this is a card we use we were battling Stephen for the SLI you know world record and stuff you can still see some of the neat eraser kind of jammed in there to protect it from condensation and stuff but you know this is a reference PCB it's the exact same PCB as the founders cart I heard that the founders card is actually RGB and considering the EVGA card uses the exact same plug in the exact same spot obviously and this is an RGB card it got me wondering is the founder's cooler going to work and actually give us RGB when plugged into the EVGA card see what I mean toilets sweaty it's about RGB and we're taking a good cooler off and putting one that looks good but is performs mediocre on here to see whether or not RGB lights up yeah that's the whole point in today's video and we're gonna do it so I'm not gonna fully assemble this card I'm only gonna put a few I'm obviously thermal paste on here lots of it that should work so I'm not gonna put all the screws in this I'm just gonna put enough to hold it all together because we just need to boot it up the rumor was something along the lines of the RGB was implemented and was put on the card but the white wasn't uniform enough or something for Jensen's taste and he got kind of bent out of shape about it so he basically ordered that everyone just disabled the RGB and ship it with the typical NVIDIA green color and that's exactly as you know today you've seen all the founders reviews they go up and it's just got that typical pale green Nvidia color and I'm curious as to what this would look like if they had actually launched it with the RGB in place I've thoroughly cooled my beard so what I've created here is a triple slot founders Edition card it looks ridiculous and yes I know I could change out this bracket but I'm not gonna because I'm putting it back to stock but we're gonna go ahead and test it now and oh wow check it out I just happen to have a computer sitting right here what luck yeah I just put it all back together I'm sure someone caught it I didn't plug in the LED everything we do around his first take first try we never make mistakes okay so the first thing I got right here while loading px1 is this proceed to update LED firmware please close all 3d applications meaning games and stuff so obviously the EVGA software is detecting like hey the LEDs are not acting right so if I click start on this firmware update failed failed okay well so but look at that it just turned like a pink color he's so wet from failed so obviously the colors just changed let me bring up the software here okay where'd you go you're like totally shut down there we go okay so led up here at the top move that the color is set to pink so let's set this to back to Nvidia green and see if that works so obviously the RGB LEDs in their work this is pretty close to white on the screen though so what does the white LEDs look like is the rumor I heard was that white was the whole reason why they did didn't ship that looks pretty damn white to me I know but you guys it looks even it doesn't look blotchy what does it look like with it a and B red sure AMD red shall we yeah there you go apply that's like actual blue blue see that looks very purpley like a violet huh so maybe the balance they are talking about of why they didn't ship with RGB isn't necessarily because of the white but that blue does not look like blue obviously your monitors and the camera and the lighting and all that's gonna affect the way you guys see it but it definitely doesn't look blue to me this is orange that looks like a very peachy white color there we go I mean a police car it's blue and red or we're in England so the moral of today's video is there's obviously more functionality baked into your $800 and $1200 graphics cards than you even know because it is disabled from the factory so even if custom BIOS come out from the XOC of the extreme overclock community I have no idea how you would control it because EVGA is obviously controlling this card maybe the EVGA founders or software could control the founders card if it's unlocked maybe we'll test that in the future with our actual founders card so again a pointless video they just wanted to make to kind of see whether or not this worked and find out with you guys so thanks for watching if you have more video ideas make sure you let me know because this one came directly from the inbox of people telling me hey did you know the 20 ATT I actually has RGB I was like no that's actually kind of neat maybe I should test it I thought how would I test it I don't know ah but I do have the EVGA card which uses the exact same header so as you can see it obviously works RGB is just made up of three different LEDs a white LED no oh man RGB IG babe
