a quick thanks to msi for sending us here this year we would not be at Computex without them and also thank you to Linda comm so the bulldog a lot of you guys probably already have opinions about this system to be completely honest it's been quite covered so far and we're on day one of Computex pretty ridiculous but i guess that's kind of Corsairs whole thing now looking at the bulldog from the outside I think everyone and their mom has an opinion about how they probably don't like how it looks I'm sure there's a few out there that do like it but I'm not necessarily in that camp either I had some flashbacks of a crab the crab logo came to mind it looks like a very wide crab and I didn't like it but it doesn't really matter they're going to be designing more outside cases and that's why sitting next to me here is more just the inner framing of the bulldog what actually really matters right now there will be changes to this as well but the main changes are probably going to be happening to the outside you're probably going to see a much more muted design but we'll have to stay tuned and find out how that goes another thing to note is that the config can change now whatever vendor you buy it from will have their own config so new egg or n2x or whoever the heck will have their own set of components within the bulldog chassis but Corsair will offer it with the chassis an SF 600 power supply a not yet determined motherboard and an H 5 SF CPU cooler said motherboard will be decided much closer to the release date of skylake so stay tuned for that that CPU cooler though is freaking cool it has a freaking tiny rad you can actually see it right here it's just the exposed metal kind of showing part and then across under the plastic right there it doesn't go further into the actual cooler which is just kind of a shroud and the fan but that fan is interesting it's a blower fan which has about 11 millimeters of pressure which is kind of insane this this small unit equals about the same cooling efficiency of an H 55 it doesn't have Corsair link is a tiny freaking rad it has really high fin density and a crazy fan which equates to a pretty cool cooler especially because this thing also mounts to the motherboard it doesn't actually mount to the outside of the Bulldog which it kind of looks like it does at first but it not meaning that if they want to and I've seen some expression that they might they could sell this off by itself and a lot of cases have venting just over the i/o so this could work in pretty much whatever you want pretty effective little cooler and a very low-profile another thing to note about the CPU cooler is that you will need relatively low profile ram as it's fairly all-encompassing over the motherboard across from the CPU cooler you can see corsair link which is obviously not required and doesn't actually come with Corsairs bare-bones system but you could add in yourself and then the SF 600 watt power supply this is interesting this is of course there's first foray into sfx power supplies and at 600 watts which is not a low wattage at all pretty badass and this little guy will be definitely sold on its own so you're looking into home theater pcs you can stay tuned for that in the more vertical upper part of the rest of the case you have your drive mounting now here you can have three SSDs or one SSD and a hard drive so you'd be available to have essentially probably one fairly insane SSD array or an SSD if your operating system and some programs and a hard drive for like your bigger files and whatnot just below that as you can now see we have the graphics card which is actually cooled by an H 55 which is something quite unique about this case a lot of home theater pcs don't exactly have options for water cooling a graphics card a lot of home theater pcs don't really have a lot of options in terms of water cooling at all and in this one you can water cool the CPU and GPU now this is using Corsairs graphics card mounting system you could use whatever you want but definitely not a bad idea another thing to note is to kind of ignore those two included fans they're there and they'll be that size but they'll maybe not be exactly the same I can't really say any more than that for now just just hang with me on that one so the CPU is cooled by a super interesting new CPU cooler with 150 watt TDP a blower style fan and a tiny little rad with really dense fins which is really interesting configuration the graphics card is cooled in a home theater box there's tons of mesh all over the place there's two intakes where for dedicated fans there's this new power supply from them what what's the point what's the theme well the oats is ugly so we're going to ignore that for now the whole theme behind this is is cooling this is a crazy amount of cooling for a home theater box and a lot more than I expected coming into it but does it matter recently we released a video of a tiny little home theater box that we fit a 16 core CPU which is hyper threaded into it I think 64 gigs of RAM and a Titan X and the temperatures were fine well not necessarily the Titan X was fairly hot because the Titan X is a fairly hot card so this could solve that problem also it was fairly quiet but it wasn't the quietest machine out there in this guy everything from Corsair including the graphics card cooler is under 30 DBS which is pretty damn good last but not least it has a shielded riser cable for that graphics card so it's able to sit flat alongside the motherboard and that will be in black not the weird blue it currently is speaking of the change there there will be quite a few changes to the inside of this not just the outside and with that what do I think of the bulldog unusually give opinions from events as I don't think it's necessarily the greatest idea but in its current state I'm not necessarily a huge fan mainly due to aesthetics but that's going to change there's some internal things are going to change as well I think this is going to be an extremely important product if nothing else home theater is a really interesting segment and something that's growing with stuff like steam box coming out steam machines and all that kind of stuff and there's been a few players in the space for a while now but Coursera seems to come in two segments and just make them absolutely explode look at the all-in-one water cooling segment it existed and then Corsair came around and now it's freaking huge will they be able to do the same with home theater pcs let me know in the comments down below or on twitter at Lucca underscore LFR thanks a ton to msi for sending us here this year we would definitely not be in Taiwan right now if it wasn't for them so check out their bitly link in the description down below this video to see all the products that they're launching at Computex this year we'll hopefully be checking those out shortly so we'll have videos on them coming soon also thank you to lynda.com check out their link lynda.com that slash Computex for a 10 day free trial and start learning stuff right away while you're commenting on what you think about the Bulldog like the video dislike the video a favor the video subscribe all that kind of stuff thanks for watching today's inscribed Alliance tech tips if you want to see all the rest of our Computex 2015 content and I'll see you guys next time
