our PAX Prime 2014 coverage is brought to you by HyperX gaming products make sure you click their logo to check out the great gaming content on their YouTube channel as well as phantom glass the ultimate gorilla glass screen protector for your mobile device it is x99 overload here in the Intel booth everybody has systems featuring the new 59 60 X 8 Core Extreme Edition hyper threaded turbo boosts processor but we kind of figured well there's so much stuff on display here maybe we should narrow it down to the coolest systems that we found with this new processor technology so starting with this one right here from Falcon Northwest which has a custom name plate that says packs so you either they built the system last year and they've had samples for over a year not likely or they built the system just to bring to the show here so it features a custom red automotive grade paint job it's got a custom case that was you can tell from the drive cages here they collaborated with Silverstone on it so it's their design however it's got that Silverstone quality to it they're using a Silverstone power supply to go along with it they've got a couple of suits graphics cards it should be noted this is a powered by AC system they are a member of that exclusive club and this is a really interesting feature so aside from liquid cooling for the CPU they go air cooling on the GPUs but with this shroud right here that leads from what I believe is a 180 millimeter fan down here on the bottom and that's one of Silverstone's air penetrator fans designed to really direct air flow up they've got both of these cards running in their own separate wind tunnel that Falken tells me can achieve up to 15 degree different temperatures compared to the CPU compartment that means you're keeping your GPU heat away from everything else and well out of your system where you do not want it actually I don't know how exclusive the powered by Asus Club is it looks like they're letting just about anyone into it these days here's a system from NCIX I'm just teasing you guys it's actually a pretty sick system it's built in the Corsair 760 t and it features a liquid cooling setup that I am personally quite fond of this is Swift tax all-in-one liquid cooler that comes out of the box ready to be installed so you could just buy one of these from Instax and throw it in your computer liquid cool your cpu or what's really cool about is it can be expanded so it comes with this triple 120 millimeter radiator that's in here and the CPU block which also includes a pump but it has been expanded in this case to include a front dual 120 millimeter radiator as well as 2 ek a water blocks cooled GTX 780 direct si YouTube cards from as seuss you can also see that they have upgraded the stock look of this particular case this is a Corsair 760 T with a suite a soos powered by Zeus ro G deck leafing that looks resplendent with the red LED lighting inside definitely one of our top picks but this one is water-cooled on a whole other level you can hardly even recognize the Corsair 900 d case that main gear transformed into this wonderful beautiful beast so ok yes it's got x99 motherboard of extreme edition etc ok it also has 2 r9 295x2 so that's a quad GPU setup but check this out they don't even take up that much space on the rampage 5 extreme motherboard you can actually install other things in there and you don't have to have the you know pre-attached liquid coolers because this whole thing is completely custom done out up here in the top we've got a triple 140 millimeter radiator with a custom shroud down here in the bottom we have a quadruple 120 millimeter radiator with a custom shroud they have customized the fans by cleverly putting main gear stickers on them but actually they're a bit of a custom deal e from Corsair definitely a nice performing fan and it looks nice too with that white LED lighting but guys this is all about the liquid cooling aside from radiators there has got to be based on my rough ballpark estimate at least a hundred and fifty dollars worth of fittings in this liquid cooling setup and that leaves aside the you know quick stopping bells in the bottom so in case one of your dual pumps dies you can actually keep running the system that ignores the custom reservoir dual pump unit that ek built for them in order to even make it so that it can run dual pumps and it ignores the absolute beauty of that 3/8 inch thin wall tubing that they've got running in these extremely tidy straight runs all over the system for a bit of an automotive internals inspired look to it overall is it cheap no don't be stupid is it beautiful yeah now let's wrap things up with the Alienware area51 they are really dug hard to find a unique name for this system that's different from all the names of all of their other systems that was a joke that was sarcasm but what they did dig for was a case design that is unlike anything else that I have ever seen before so at the front it's got kind of this angular intakes optical drive front i/o thing with custom lighting going on and at the back it is similarly angled in a way that is actually kind of smart because whether your systems on the floor or on your desk there's probably a wall behind it and this makes it a little bit easier to reach the rear i/o they had to go with a bit of an unusual internal structure check that out the lighting on the side turns off when you unplug it or when you disconnect it there we go and that's what the motherboard mounted and kind of like I don't know 30 degree angle or something like that so of course it's powered by X 99 and all that good stuff but this is very very very strange to me they've got a modular power supply in here of course you're gonna have support for 3-way or yeah it looks like 3-way if this is the motherboard they're using up to 3-way graphics card configurations the one thing I would worry about here is whether or not we're trading convenience for potentially shorter lifespans for the fans because mounting a fan at an angle versus straight up and down or horizontal depending on the bearing type can be a bit of an issue one thing I will say is they are using extremely high static pressure fans and spinning at a nice low rpm so the system does remain quite quiet in spite of the powerful hardware inside that's actually being used by this game streamer right here so guys thanks for checking out our best x99 core i7 xtreme 59 60 X fourth generation new we're just gonna call it as well EE extreme edition thanks for checking out our coverage of the top systems here in the Intel booth don't miss any of our PAX Prime 2014 coverage and a big thanks to our sponsors for bringing us here HyperX you guys are awesome check out their YouTube channel they've got lots of great gaming content on there right now it's not just the usual like oh here's some like memory it's going like no it's actually a lot better than that and also a big shout-out to phantom glass for powering our trip here as well they make fantastic gorilla glass screen protectors for your phone it's actually made of the same
