Linus tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by NCI XCOM your source for great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western Digital welcome to the EVGA suite where they've got of course some graphics cards but also some not graphics cards so we're gonna start with the torque Mouse it's available in a couple of different configurations I'm holding the carbon-fiber one which has carbon fibre on the side versus there's a regular more like plastic one it's got the usual gaming grade features so you've got RGB lighting that you can customise using their software it's got you know side buttons on either side so it's got an ambidextrous design it uses an 8200 dpi sensor but there's some other cool stuff as well the top has a removable plate there's no confirmation one way or the other it looks like at launch it won't be swappable for something else for a custom look but what it does give us access to is the weight system underneath so you can add and remove weights at will not as common of a feature but something we've seen before is is adjustability so you can use a screw at the back and you can actually adjust the back of the mouse or the butt of it up a little bit higher a little bit lower depending on what is most comfortable for you there are of course slippy pads on the bottom covering almost the entire bottom of the surface on the mouse overall is I'd say about an average weight so once you added some weight to it you could make it quite hefty if that's what you prefer next up we've got of course there's the GTX 780 Ti classified back there but no no no no no the one we're gonna be focused on here is the GTX 780 Ti classified kingpin Edition so instead of a 12 phase power design this one has a 14 phase power design in addition to its otherwise amazing sexiness it has three bios's which are accessible using a bios switch on the top of the board it also has two eight pin and one six pin power connector now to be clear guys this card is not like a lot of products you see where it's like okay yeah it's got like two eight pin CPU connectors on a motherboard but like realistically you could never run that kind of power through the socket this is actually designed for hardcore liquid-nitrogen overclocking quite frankly if you just a regular user you aren't going to benefit from it other than the extreme bragging rights that come along with owning a product like this it does support their evbot you are their evbot dongles so you can make adjustments to the settings of the card on-the-fly even when it is powered on and up at the top you've got comprehensive voltage check points that can be used to monitor voltage using a multimeter if you don't necessarily trust software or if you want something that you can monitor even when you don't have your software fired up it uses a dual fan design and yes that clear shroud is the final design so the king pin Edition will have a very different look than the normal 780ti classified and personally I am waiting for someone to figure out a way to get some crazy custom LED lighting going on on this a very unusual looking ACX cooler from EVGA it's got the usual output so dual DVI HDMI and DisplayPort and of course it is a non-standard length non-standard height non-standard card in every possible way designed to squeeze the last bit of possible performance out of the GTX 780 Ti GPU now speaking of squeezing the last bit of possible performance Nvidia green light has limited in many ways what board partners can do in terms of allowing their customers to overclock the cards balls to the walls and EVGA hasn't quite figured out what they're gonna do yet but they will find a way somehow to make this card unfettered so you're not going to be limited by those pesky power limits and things that just cause the card to shut down in the middle of everything so I'm excited to see where they're going with this and now we're here with the hadron hydro now we actually didn't a review of the Hadron air not that long ago and what we liked about it was it was extremely compact it has a 500 watt power supply it is capable of holding a GTX 780 780 Ti or GTX Titan in it and it is a micro ATX case that actually once you build in it doesn't have bad cable management you got to be a little bit careful you got to kind of tuck things away but when you're working with extremely small enclosures that can house extremely powerful hardware that's just kind of something you have to deal with now the hydro adds a little bit of extra height but it is otherwise basically the same case that extra height is being put to very good use and instead of to 120 millimeter fan the top we're getting two fans and a 240 millimeter radiator now you can put your own water cooling stuff in but EVGA also has an option for you to buy their water kit for somewhere in the sort of 170 to 200 dollar range I'm not sure if it's a hundred percent finalized yet but that kid is actually fairly reasonably priced it comes with the CPU block one I've never seen before but I mean it even the worst CPU block these days is probably only gonna be five six degrees better or worse than you know the best one so it comes with a CPU block it comes with a pump and reservoir it comes with a radiator it comes with tubing and fittings including these special fittings at the back that are that our hard fittings just refer a better aesthetic as well as less risk of damage or catching them on something and finally it comes with enough extra tubing and fittings for you to plumb in your own graphics card after the fact using whatever water cooling solution you want for that guys don't miss any of our CES 2014 coverage thank you very much for checking out this video from EVGA sweet remember our sponsors here at the show are in CI x.com your source for great technology selection and service and of course course our memory and Western Digital without those guys we wouldn't have been able to be here so thanks a lot
