NCIX Tech Fair Booth Review 3 - AMD Kingston Corsair BenQ

2012-05-13
welcome to the am deeply they've got a couple pretty cool show deals if you get an x 3 processor for only 50 bucks which is pretty crazy actually I need slick to come over here and check this out oh that's do that it looks like they moved our light for some reason but we're actually running this whole eyefinity setup off of an NCIX pc that's running an ati radeon 6950 graphics card so let's move back around to the front Amy's booth is actually pretty darn cool because they have not only ultimate eyefinity gaming system going on here where you can play I think this is the game that plays for you if you set it to the easy enough difficulty level which is handy because you know not everyone's great at video games but they also have a bit of a museum thing going on so they'd bought an old eti Radeon graphics card from before the acquisition and then they're showing how far AMD has taken that Radeon technology to the point where now with a single card you can convert 3 1080p monitors in directx 11 games nobody we've also got a little Museum of a wide variety of past the present and the processors going back all the way to the days when AMD and Intel actually shared the same socket technology pretty cool stuff welcome to the Kingston booth you know I antec one of our guys from anzac just showed up and was like yeah so my systems are all over the place but I'm not even attending the tech fair but you can actually find its kind of ANZAC exposes pretty much everywhere they've got the antec kuhler 920 and tech high current pro 850 power supply as well as a PG rating case going on on the Kingston video however we're going to stay a little bit more focused on Kingston so Kingston as you guys may or may not know is world number one in terms of memory products they are enormous they make more memory than anybody else everything from sodium's to valueram to performance hyperx gaming memory they pretty much do it now we've also more recently gotten into SSDs they have once again a wide variety of SSDs from their sandforce ssdnow be plus series which is more value oriented all the way up to their premium San for hyperx so these are using higher speed NAND flash even those with the same controller to achieve faster beads and write speeds is also enormous when it comes to USB flash our static pamphlet is lemon seems Kingston however it looks like they haven't managed to actually put in a USB thumb drive that their boot but I mean you've probably seen a Kingston thumb drive at some point in time and as a special show deal you can get an eight gig kingston datatraveler only 99 pencil though those may be sold out at this time because that was a pretty popular one earlier on in the day so over here the other kingston FSG and memory Howard system this is the new hyperx 3k which is a more value oriented edition of the HyperX it performs the same but the endurance of the flash is a little bit lower but it still comes with a three-year warranty and it's still according to continuous operation sort of mean methods of calculating it should last for years and years and years so it's a pretty safe bet and there we've got some hyperx ddr3 going on in there as well welcome to the corsair booth we've got a wide variety of stuff here strangely they don't have any ram or USB flash even though they're very well known for those products not much in the way of SSD course there's booth is focused around their newer additions to their lineup so that is cases peripherals and cooling so right here we've got the K 90 and the k-6 TVs or mechanical gaming keyboards optimized for MMO gaming as well as FPS gaming respectively personally my favorite is pretty k90 of those two because it has a blue backlight on it as well as programmable macro keys here they've also got their h100 cooler and I can't say enough good things about this honestly in my opinion every freed on liquid cooling unit should be dual fan like this because that's where they start to really distance themselves from air cooling in terms of overclocking the single fan ones are a little bit better than air sometimes or their competitive with their but these dual fan ones especially once you start breaking up the voltage really pull away next week bought these fries are MMOFPS oriented products to go along with the keyboards themselves so this one has a turn of different buttons again optimized for MMO slickers for some reason for moving buttons from the keyboard and then next we've got the m60 which has a sniper button which reduces the sensitivity when you're zoomed in so that you can more easily go for the optical headshot I have no idea how many people put this on today so it might be like covered in lice and stuff but hopefully not you know Corsair applies a lice repellent spray to the insides of all not just getting it okay though but this is a USB headset that features will be 7.1 virtual personally I'm not much of a virtual surround guy and I would go into vengeance 1300 the high in South guard personally however it's great that they have both options available whether you want a USB headset or an analog headset case they have the obsidian 550d this is the first case course there's really done that is optimized for silent computing so it has noise dampening comb here as well as on the inside of the side panels and you can also see that instead of having lots of ventilation and mesh it uses closed panels in order to block a lot of the noise so there's still room for ventilation you can see there's Vince holes here you can't really see this one wait are they on that side no they're not on that side they're on this side there you go van holes here slip this confused that allow you to still get the cooling you need however I wouldn't necessarily put you know a 64 in duel gtx 690 s in here this is more for your mid range performance gaming system and you want to keep nice and quiet you don't have to keep it silent though you can take these off take off the magnetic removable easy clean fan filter here and you can actually install more fans on the top and more fans on the side if you want to get the most cooling performance possible out of your Corsair case welcome to the men QB dissipative last booth in this round of video tours they have a couple of really cool products at their booth they have the 2420 CX which as you guys may or may not know is pretty much my choice when it comes to 3d vision to lightness capable displays so this one just have a Windows Update pop up but they've got batman arkham city running on here right now with 3d vision one glasses remember light boost is compatible as long as you have a compatible monitor with either community vision one or three division two glasses now they also have their do computer and the gp2 is awesome this is a pico projector that is capable of using a battery backup in fact there is a deal at the show for 499 you get the gp2 projector with the battery backup which is an amazing deal the gp2 is capable of outputting up to 7 video and it fits oh if you have really big pockets like you know cargo pants from the 90's then you could totally put a gp2 in your pocket it is LED backlit which means you pretty much never have to replace the lamp which makes it very convenient i did a video about the gp2 as well has a huge huge array of input options including an iphone dock that you can use to play videos that are stored on your iPhone or even over the network as well as HDMI input and don't forget to subscribe to Linus
