2013-09-26
of course there are m-series power supplies are optimized for silent operation click now to learn more so here's day two of the event where Chris is making the argument that it's not the size that counts it's what you do with it right it's something that small people say has a fellow small person who doesn't happen to be very tall I I'm with you on this but yeah these computers that we have in our hand are doing everything we need them to do we're just getting information out there right that's what everybody else is doing except that our batteries are probably going to last longer it looks pretty bird your laptop because in the video if you decide to smack-talk me you were seriously gonna work on an iPhone I said are you seriously okay now if you're gonna make if you're gonna make the argument that size doesn't matter would you actually fight him if you want so basically because the the stream hasn't started yet we're all just kind of sitting around trolling taking pictures of each other Kim can I see that picture don't worry I have I have an actual leg zoom that doesn't suck because I don't have a DSLR so I can't focus on it though because I don't have a DSLR so we're about 15 minutes late but we're still pretty excited to see what we're gonna see here I just means that I have now had all of that water so it is time for a bathroom break and be a presentation I've even started yet so I water yeah it's yeah it's 9:00 in the morning what's wrong with you nothing you feeling great right come on Waianae I mean livestream we use oh hi I was just disgusted with my colleagues right here - you mean the difficulties of livestream I guess all right all right the thing I gotta say really want to be in your video - to shave sir - to shake no you're you're in the video that I have to look at sitting in my room uploading right now yeah the video that I took of you while you were don't worry you look great musics a favor we're starting ladies and gentlemen please welcome corporate vice president global communications for AMD Alan Taylor exciting I hope you guys are tuned in live because I'm not gonna videotape this whole thing since there's a live stream so yeah good morning Aloha so if you guys have never seen me fangirl out before then about to have Nanoha on a new level here so behind me right there is chris roberts the mind behind wing commander and the upcoming star citizen which you guys have probably heard enough about a fair bit I've pre-ordered my my constellation ship there's 250 bucks which is definitely more than I've spent on all other games combined in about the last five years so that's how stoked I am on this so I'm just kind of waiting for an offer young candy here and shake his hand which is which is about all I'm going for I can see Charlie over there is going going for the business card okay I guess I could I just wanted to say hi I love it here can you get the wrong video sure I watched you at Texas occasionally on Oak listen it's like really yeah yeah well never I'm trying to figure out what the best cooler or something today hey you guys well I appreciate that thank you very much so we're definitely we're definitely fangirling out as much as we as much as we ever have I mean what I said a minute ago that you probably didn't hear well as I pledged two hundred and fifty bucks to star citizen thank you more than I've spent on every other game combined of my entire library probably about last five years well thank you cuz you're letting us make the game without having any publisher or UC or anyone that's just that's actually what I tell everyone it's like it's like it's a really cool thing to develop a game and not worry about anything but making the best game not worrying about pleasing the mocking department the only be worried about is people are gonna play the game yeah very excited just checked out the hangar module and I'm we're actually gonna be publishing a video very shortly we know it's totally irrelevant but we're taking a bunch of graphics cards we're doing sometimes box what kind of okay how hard is this gonna push it and it's pushing it pretty hard oh no it's just not very optimized we don't do any LEDs and we were I wasn't joking when I say and I was 18 million Polly's are like on the because we haven't got any LEDs so like the constellations a million for the freelances million three even the small ones a 300,000 then you got that big impairment and we found something have like it's it's totally not there yet but it's so exciting to be able to see it no it's awesome I'm actually ready yet I'm enjoying the process of people playing and checking out and then you actually sort of see feedback it's like a great feedback way right so it's like in my old days when I used to make games I'd have a team in like a lot of time okay well give this to this and I'd like open up for debate just because I'd like to have a discussion and then I helped me make my mind for what I was going to do and so that's kind of when I view how many 250,000 bankers you just have a much bigger debate pool except I mean the key difference between the back are giving you feedback in an employee giving you feedback is you pay the employees which is like it's terrifying to me yeah it's fine no you know what I actually have said this before like when we've done yeah like I'd be out the farms or whatever is I don't mind people having negative AMP is honestly constructive in doing it because it shows investment right so you really care like people care they're like so they don't like something like I want this to be fixed because they care it's not because they're just being you know a troll or something because they they sort away and they want a chance sometimes they have valid points well they put their money up front so it's one of those things where no one's gonna pay money just to go call someone yeah yeah no no no so nice I think our community's gross yeah sure sure absolutely no no no because I can never be embarrassed about sitting by myself at an empty table ever again because I introduced myself to chris Roberts the star citizen guy over there I was going to say and he knew who I was already which was like he like watches my videos how this is like how I'm gonna change my okay like go my whole deck where you live in here and they know I got sure I can do that everywhere you go so so basically so basically I had Austin holding the camera just kind of push it because just like the moment when I mean it's not like he was like dude the look on your face it was like dude the look on your face when he like knew who you were it's like I was blown away well I saw you during most of the presentation that I gave you Johnny like I was dropping my food in my fortune my chocolate did you ever play no I was not aiming at like but I found out that that game was just like so I found out about beds and I was just like yeah I'm gonna shoot so my plan is to have like this before men check so so I've been asked very nicely by by Chris and the and the you know I would even I'm sorry I don't know what your actual company is called I just know about it space industry Imperium okay so I've been asked to finish building the PC for the head of marketing of cloud Imperium so apparent and that III we've already been through this that is gonna be extremely challenging because he has a great PC that he actually built himself and you guys can check out the blog post I where was that posted it was it if you search for chris Roberts personal rig I think yeah you'll find it ah do I like the motherboard okay so you gotta crosshair five formula Z okay yeah that's about as good as it gets for any I haven't seen this idea on their memory before so I've only seen the older spreader that doesn't have the sort of textured look on the side here what else what you got in here so this is their ninety five ninety so once again that is about as high-end as it gets for an AMD CPU so that's a five gigahertz eight core what else you got in here yeah I was gonna say I think that's about to get awkward cuz now my understanding is there was a bit of a miss configuration with the machine I have I think you guys had a two hundred and eighty millimeter cooler or something like that there's no mounting points in this particular case for that can I help you move that here let me turn this off a bit of a thing going on here where we can't find the motherboard screws for the system that I'm supposed to be helping build for yeah so that's that trig note note they're definitely not under the board oh no I would have thought of that and they're okay but what we do have is the graphics card that's gonna be going in this system which is about as exciting as any screw could possibly be there we go so we can get actually a pretty good look at it here so we've got what looks like a metal Yoona sink that's probably covering presumably memory and vrm and gonna help dissipate a little bit of heat you can see it actually wraps around the back here AMD's done their usual thing where they kind of have a very small penis extension on the PCB so the card is a little bit longer than it otherwise would be but not too nearly the same degree is what NVIDIA has done with the last couple of generations of graphics cards or they've got like these weird like things that seem to be designed to make them not fit in cases really need ID on the front of it these actually illuminate so I've seen a couple of them running so far so that's that's a really cool that's a really cool look for it here on the back we've got DisplayPort HDMI and this is an interesting thing so I don't know if this was in the embargo session or not the embargo session because they didn't talk about it at all but you can see there's no analog pins on these DVI connectors so these are not capable of being adapted with a DVI to VGA adapter it actually physically won't fit and the signaling is not there so you gonna find the screws did we these are these are the motherboard screws but first you need to put the liquid that's only eight these came with the liquid cooler I can tell because they're color-coded okay then let's I mean they might they might fit it depends if they have a coarse or fine threading on there okay yes okay well we could we could use them and then we could figure out another way to mount the cooler but that wouldn't help us mount the SSD we still won't be able to oh these could work for the SSD okay what else do we have okay well we do want let's see how far we get here
