Linus tech tips coverage of computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital our trusted gaming gear partner is corsair vengeance and our trusted retail partner is NCIX calm hey guys we're here at the ecs boost to check out their new machine and domination line of memory of motherboards sorry about that these are 87 chipset boards and holy cow if you look at the domination ones that is bling in their CPU socket is plated with gold and it just looks pretty awesome if you're one of those lucky few people that got the limited edition swiftech block that would go so well with that I can't even begin to explain how well that would go with that the red color scheme is actually the same so these two are z87 h3 ax models they both have an external and internal Thunderbolt port which is just pretty epic and not entirely sure what you can use that internal one for but you have that option they both have six out of three point 0 ports V checkpoints tons of fan connectors they both support quad sli with 16 x pci express slots they're just beast beast motherboards all the on onboard buttons you could possibly want gold plated caps it looks like gold plated caps they also have creative sound core 3d which will help apparently help isolate sound and threw in FPS games and other stuff as well they've got where was the other thing dual killer gigabit lan ports apparently they interviewed some gamers and decided that gamers don't like it when they lag which is I guess anyone could have told them that but they interviewed some gamers they support team complexity so they probably interviewed them and they decided that it might be a good idea to throw killer networking on their boards when we moved down to theirs at 87 h3a to exports which are slightly chopped down versions of the previous sports we were just looking at you lose the duel Thunderbolt you lose stuff like that but there's still very very nice high-end boards you still got six SATA 3 pointer ports you still have V checkpoints you still have all that kind of stuff you still have dual gigabit killer land but it's a little bit chops down like I just said not quite all the options you had before still tons of onboard buttons they're still very high in boards and they still have the same color scheme so if you don't need an internal Thunderbolt header and a few other things that are on the high on boards you can still get these ones still get the color scheme still get an awesome board and still be happy we're going to move on in the ucs booth if you want to see all of our computex content be sure to keep watching and we're going to move on alright guys we're still here at the ecs booth they have something very very cool going on that I haven't seen anywhere else here at computex they have a bill vlogging competition if you guys know I run the forum and i love the bill log section that's why we have a bill logs hey Awards every single week on our live stream these things are insane they have a huge competition they're giving away a million new new Taiwanese dollars to whoever wins this competition so we're going to do a really really quick one through of the top five that they have brought here so what you're supposed to do is go to WWE facebook.com slash ecs and vote on which one you think is the best I'm but I haven't had enough time to actually see everything here so I'm just going over some really general stuff this thing looks absolutely nuts you can see right angle graphics card with an extension which is nuts its water cooled you got dominators on there this thing's insane he's got some custom cabling going on he's got custom lights going on he built the whole freaking thing this top can drop down to actually actually in my opinion look better but right now he's trying to show off all the hardware considering he's at ecs he wants to show off vcx is hardware it looks absolutely amazing down here you've got some triggers you've got some vandal switches a LCD panel this thing's crazy just everything's going on and it's just an absolute beast it's apparently called the orthis so if we can back up here and check out the next one this one is very very different compared to last one we're looking at sounds very very minimalistic it looks very very classy he sleeved his cables to go along with the board I hope it's it's wooden and this is a plexiglass it seems and just very very nice not the insane performance that we saw on the one previously but it's just very very clean cut it would be very very nice to have this on your desk I'm not going to pull this just in case i can break something but i'm assuming that turns off these two lights which is just so classy this would be very very very cool to have in your office if you are a businessman and it seems to be tuned for that style as it's a very small motherboard and not the biggest graphics card ever very nice built then we come down here and we get to your industrial design a very very heavy metal sharp sharp sharp looks very very nice huge radio Peter's their massive massive reservoir very cool we come around this side and you see the water-cooled graphics cards which are just absolutely awesome very very nice leaving looks very very tight not sure where he got that from but it could be a million-dollar PC because of how nice it looks it looks like it was all done by him very very nice heat shrink cuts the whole thing just looks absolutely amazing like I said industrial design we've got a nice LCD panel up here where he can control different fan speeds and pump speeds and lighting which is just very very very cool come down to another one this is actually too but it's submitted by one person again industrial design aggressive looks like a tank not like the classy one that we saw previously but still looks like a tank you can see he's got some custom painting going on looks very military this one looks just nuts there's lights going off everywhere it looks very Gundam I'm not exactly sure how he did this but that's a very cool its form of exercise individual people so I'm not entirely sure what's going on unfortunately this one's not on but it's very very very cool now we're coming to our last one if I can back up here but there's people in my way hopefully I can get back okay this one again comes more with the classy style that we saw earlier very very clean it looks really really good there's tons of pain and going on i'm not entirely sure what this made out of feels like metal isn't metal aluminum is made out of aluminium aluminium there we go very very nice did you cut this all yourself that's fantastic it looks really really good I like the minimalistic styles for bill dogs so the big aggressive ones while they're very very cool not necessarily my style I like the more subtle ones like the one previously and this one like I said previously you guys can go on facebook com / ecs vote which one you think is the best they will get a ton of money so make sure you go and support which case which modder case you think is the best thanks for watching and we're going to continue alright guys just before we left the ecs booth I came by the Thunderbolt demonstration so what they've done here is they put five Thunderbolt drives in here and hooked up a thunderbolt monitor all these are linking together you see all the crazy cables hopefully if you're going to do something like this you can get shorter cables because that's just nuts and the cable management enthusiast in me just cries when he sees this although the loops are quite nice I would like shorter cables and tie down anyways it goes out the back here plugged into this machine and then this machine is reporting and showing how fast the transfer speeds are going now I asked them which drive they're actually reporting this from and they did not tell me but it's I ohmmeter so i'm assuming it's an overall that i'm not sure if they're transferring data are doing anything interesting like that but this just goes to show what you can actually do with Thunderbolt it's one plug in and you're plugging all this stuff in so say you're a business user you have a business class notebook or business got system that you're moving around you can just come home plunk down your laptop instantly have all this insane amount of storage and a monitor plugged in with no real problems also with some people like Silverstone hooking up new external graphics card boxes where you can have a graphics card in a box and have a plug-in with Thunderbolt that's another thing you could do with this and have them all linked together you can have all your storage your monitor and an external graphics card all linked in through one plug which is very very clean and I'm very happy that they have this on display thank you for checking out our ecs content if you want to see all of our content from computex make sure to subscribe to Linus tech tips
