yeah of the liquid cooling hybrid solution that's that you can hook up on these ports this is the all-new wind force cooler that takes advantage of a composite of a couple of different heat pipe technologies so it has like a textured inside as well as micro grooves that allows it to more easily take the cooled liquid and then move it back to the GPU where it needs to be heated up and then evaporated again I mean that's the basic principle of how heat pipes work what this allows gigabyte to do is between those high-performance heat pipes check how thick those ones are between those high-performance heat pipes and the overall mass of the cooler they are able to build coolers for the gtx 770 780 and Titan that are capable of dissipating 450 watts within what is still a 2 slot profile now hold on a minute is that what's going on here is that an aftermarket cooled Titan 6 gig 6 gigs of memory aftermarket cooling no one's allowed to do that gigabyte is going to be releasing this as a bundle so you'll actually get it with a stock Titan cooler on it instructions and a win for schooler so that you can swap out the cooler on your own giving you the advantages that come with better GPU cooling particularly with GPU boost 2.0 now GPU boost 2.0 allows you to not only set up your overclocking profiles by power as well as by clock speed and voltage but also by temperature so when you have a lower temperature on your card you are going to actually legitimately get better performance whether you're hardcore overclocker or not which hasn't been true necessarily with other graphics cards in the past now they've got a practical demonstration of this which I thought was pretty cool the maximum temperature will recommend a temperature from Nvidia for a gk110 or GK 104 is around 95 degrees so they've got a variety of different heat loads that you can apply to this elaborate setup here with the wind force cooler on it you can see our ambient temperature here which is about 30 31 degrees you can see the heat load being applied to the wind force cooler and then you can see right here the temperature that it maintains the car dad so the TDP s of these cards are only actually 250 watts but even applying an excess of 400 watts to this cooler we are not breaking the highest we've seen it is around 80 degrees and change a little above that and that's in 31 degree ambience moving right along to gaming peripherals this is where diesel started geeking out so this right here is the idea uranium which has a number of different things so first of all here actually I'll get our lovely model to demo it in just a second I'm gonna steal it first sorry about that on the bottom check this out I love this my old MX 700 had two double-a batteries on the bottom what's the advantage of double-a well number one they're everywhere so you never have to worry about not having a charge when something bad happens and your batteries die number two is their high capacity this thing runs for 50 hours continuously so if you actually manage to run out of battery life with this mouse in between charges then you probably should go to sleep anyhow but that's not it so it's wireless but I would love for you to come in here sorry and demo what is special about this particular Wireless implementation so how do you charge it okay you charge it just with a simple micro USB cool thing about that is micro USB charges the mouse while you're using it or if you don't need to charge the mouse at the time you've got a micro USB handy on your desk you can use it to charge your phone next up okay so the wireless implementation in the past Wireless might have had problems with particularly not necessarily with you know left-click doesn't register whatever else like that but particularly with the execution of macros so instead of putting the macro memory onto the mouse which by the way is also one fewer thing to power on the mouse so that's where you get that extended battery life macro memory has now been integrated here so show me how you can switch between the variety of different profiles that can be stored on the base station another advantage of the base station while you guys watch the interface here is the fact that it's it's very close to the mouse as opposed to being plugged into the front of your tower or into the back of your case meaning that it's less likely to have any interference and because it's closer you're gonna have faster data transmission it uses a 6500 DPI twin I laser sensor and you can set up I believe it's up to five profiles is that correct yep I'm getting the okay now we've got the a via osmium keyboard so this has been updated you've got five different profiles here and what's cool is you've got a multicolor light here so you can tell which profile you're you've also got dedicated scroll wheels for a brightness which has very fine granularity to the adjustments that you can make you can click it and turn it off so it's actually it's actually just a mouse wheel very very cool as well as a volume wheel media keys that are accessible with a function functionality and check this out we're not limited to just one key switch type anymore these are Cherry MX browns if you guys have been watching Lynas tech tips a long time you'll know these are my personal favorite key switches so I am more than thrilled to see that being applied to gigabytes keyboard lineup also it has a nice wide wrist rest and personally I don't really like it but my wife refuses to use anything but our SteelSeries 7g because of the large angled wrist rest so for people out there who want that now you have another option that isn't Cherry MX black with what is quite frankly a fairly dated feature set that doesn't include LED backlighting or any of those kinds of bells and whistles don't miss any of our Computex 2013 coverage by making sure that you're subscribed and guys big thanks to our sponsors who remember our WD NCIX and Corsair Vengeance gaming peripherals without them we wouldn't be here
