yet another crazy update from the crazy Russian laboratory this is and I don't know if you guys know this but my original courser dream machine in the 800 D which is the same case we have here today is one of my most viewed videos ever and that was featuring an X 58 platform so that's all old crappy now right so now we have an updated Corsair dream machine elite this is what Intel's latest x79 platform so we're using these soos g9o 79 pro motherboard we also have an Intel Core i7 3930k unlocked processor this will be pre overclocked although the final clock speeds are to be determined we want to make sure that whatever clock speed we validate at we validate it in a case with the side panel closed to ensure that our customers are not going to have any issues with their pre overclocked machine it also has some other stuff that's fairly new as well you know what let's finish up with the outside before we get inside so you can see it's got a bit of a blue and black overall color schemes other than those two video cards that's 2 Radeon HD 7950 so the reason we went with 279 50s we went with a 3930k we went with 16 gigs of ram we want the pro level motherboard so this is all the highest possible performance sort of scaled back one knotch within reason so you're not paying that huge premium for getting the halo parts like the Extreme Edition like the Republic of gamers board the 79 70's but you're getting that sort of 85% of the performance at you know 65 percent of the price sort of rule that tends to apply to stuff like that so we've gone with an 8 X 10 50 yes the ax is a higher-end power supply but this is also fully capable of powering machine like this so it looks great performs great but it's going to come in at a price that I don't actually know what the price is gonna be yet but it'll be hopefully less than you think so why don't we just finish up on the outside here so on the outside you guys have seen the 800 D before we've got a blu-ray player we've got USB 3 so the 800 D has been updated to include USB 3 now although in the Lighting's very we'll hear how good that is in here we find some cool stuff so there's a three terabyte storage drive hard drives are finally starting to come back down and pricing a little bit as well as the latest Intel 520 series SandForce SSD now this is going to be kind of cool guys we're using a different kind of lighting it's fully customizable lighting with this system and when I take this off it's actually going to unplug one of them so I got to be a little bit careful here but we are using these cool there we are these cool LED strips from BitFenix see here so there's LEDs spaced out here you can actually use little adapters to extend them if you want to run longer chains of them see just with these four little plugs here that's all you got to do you can actually cut them at the pre marked places so they're marked on the back so you can do little short ones here if you want to get some extra lighting there these are really really cool these are pretty similar to the Lee and Lee ones that I looked at a little while ago or although they're somewhat cheaper and there's a wider variety plus they have that extension ability which the Lee and Lee ones did not have so you've got the cable for not running through here other than that this is a fairly standard course our case except for the upgraded fence so we're using Spectre Pro LED fans for the 35.3 right yeah yeah for the three 120mm fans in the top we've got an H 100 cooling the CPU we have a 140 millimeter specter Pro fan here and then finally we have another 120 millimeter here and I don't know if they upgraded this one I suspect I didn't know that's the stock fan that looks pretty quiet anyway cuz it has the shroud on it and you can't see it so it doesn't really contribute anything to the looks I already mentioned the HX 1050 so you can see the wiring is nice and clean there's almost nothing you can coming out at the power supply and then we're using the included cable routing options in the 800 D in order to make things look as clean as possible inside now this is something that probably a couple people are gonna comment on the 79 50s are very close together the reason for that is that a sous doesn't include long crossfire bridges with these motherboards so it's something where if you wanted to source an aftermarket crossfire bridge you could move it down to the bottom PCI Express 16 X slot I it's not the end of the world because during gaming yes the fens will ramp up no they do not overheat and then when you're idling but these cards produce almost no heat at all anyway so it's definitely not an issue during just day-to-day usage so yeah it's not perfect but it's a solution that we can live with you're in the PC a laboratory I think that pretty much covers it you know I mean we might as well show the overall IO options available on this motherboard so we do have Intel Ethernet which is cool for USB 3.0 ports eSATA we have their BIOS flashback feature bios flashback is cool because even though it comes pre overclocked if you decide to keep tweaking it you will and and you run into issues where you corrupt your BIOS so you update the BIOS and you corrupt it that way you can actually flash it back just by putting a BIOS file on a USB disk putting it into the corresponding port all this infos in your motherboard manual that you'll receive with your system and then you can reflash the BIOS just like that so that's actually really cool as well now there was something that I was sure I wanted to mention oh yeah okay well there's obviously the fact that while this is sort of not quite balls to the walls you know 16 gigs instead of 32 gigs around 79 50s instead of 79 70s new extreme edition it can be upgraded to add all of those parts and the aesthetics will still be awesome last thing I want you guys to see is actually be turned on you can see the brightness of these LEDs up there so I think that's cool can you see that yeah it's like almost like too bright like if I like cover here a little bit maybe I don't know I don't know how to like show how bright they are without like blinding the camera so thank you for checking out this PC laboratory update the Corsair dream machine elites updated 2012 edition will be coming out soon don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech
