2016-09-07
thank you to Razer for sending us to PAX West 2016 this year check out their length video description down below to see the Razer Blade stealth welcome to the EVGA booth where we're checking out the DG 87 this case tries to mix things up a bit instead of the front being right here where we're used to it being the front is here which is normally referred to as the left hand side so remember throughout this video when I'm referring to the front that's right here now for i/o on the front we have two USB 3.0 ports headphone and microphone jacks an HDMI pass-through which you can plug into your graphics card a USB type-c 3.1 connector a reset button ache a boost precision OC button which will overclock your graphics card and CPU using precision and a power button which is actually noted by the EVGA logo also on the front of the case there's a little display for your fan controller which has a mode button the mode button will change between temperature intake fans and exhaust fans and then depending on what mode you're in the functionality of the arrow keys will change so if you're an exhaust or intake fan mode you can change the power going to the fans from five percent all the way up to a hundred percent now the windowed side panel can be removed by pressing in on this lever and then if you want to fully take it off because you want to work on the build and just don't want to worry about it for a little while you can press this lever in and then pull the rail down although I'm not going to do it right now because it would fall out and I don't have two hands to catch it the left hand side of the computer is where you can access your motherboard i/o so you do that by pressing down the opposite lever for opening the door and then what is revealed here as well is to individual 120 or 140 millimeter fan slots you cannot without some type of modding remove this panel and join them together and even if you did the spacing would be incorrect for a dual read but you could install a 120 or 140 millimeter radiator here for your CPU removing the grille on the right hand side of the computer can be done by pressing in until you hear an audible click letting go and then pulling the fan filter away which can also be removed just by sliding it down now this is compatible with up to 4 by 120 millimeter fan radiator or a 3 by 140 millimeter fan radiator the back of the case reveals the cable routing for your motherboard and expansion card slots and then if you pull up on this lever you can reveal the back of the motherboard tray where we can see large cutout for mounting CPU coolers for different SSD trays which can hold one SSD each and then two Bay's of three by three and a half inch drive trays and then two individual spots for three and a half inch drives as well now the cable management that is currently displayed back here is really not that great but I'd take that with a grain of salt there are quite a few different places where you can manage your cables including pre included loops which can easily route things around this just seems to be fairly hastily done like look at this SATA cable thing what were you even doing there are also a ton of cable management rubber grommets which are actually easier to see through the backside due to some obscurities through the front of the case but should make your cables nice and pretty they're really soft so shouldn't look too weird when you run cables through them a couple additional things to note basically everything has filters on it the right-hand side the left-hand side the top even the power supply which I'll remove and show you right here but it should be noted that the top is a little bit difficult to access you have to remove the fans that are on the inside and remove all the side panels and everything in order to get to that filter another thing to note is that while we're showing off the DGA t7 right now there are actually four models there's the DG 87 DG 86 DG 85 and DG 84 and then the DG 84 is the most significant difference having no window here and no fan controller or display down on the front as well although that is all the way down to 149 dollars compared to the 229 of this unit we're looking at right now we also checked out the EVGA power link which is an aesthetic accessory for EVGA 10 70s or 10 80s which makes your power routing look really cool essentially you can plug the power supply cables into it instead of the graphics card which should remove some cable clutter from the nicely viewable part of your case what do you guys think let me know in the comments down below also thank you to Razer for sending us to PAX West 2016 this year took at the link in video description down below to enter a giveaway for the new razor blade which is
