my coverage of Computex 2017 is brought to you by MSI EVGA Tesoro g.skill and Coolermaster so guys I'm over at the Asus booth now I got to come here every year because they always have so much awesome stuff basically I'm in there they're kind of finished goods area right here very clean very white very pretty but back through that darkened the doorway over there is the ROG area and Jennifer described this areas kind of like an I got the business up front the party in the back so let's go back and check out where the party Ted let's start off with some X - 99 motherboards here at the Asus booth this is not part of the ROG lineup this is from the prime lineup which is a bit more mainstream when it comes to eight pieces offerings here probably at least a little bit familiar with how they line things up from the Frank series we have a couple boards that X 299 prime - a of those XQ 99 prime deluxe and the deluxe is probably going to be the one that comes out first that's what we're looking at right here so you're going to see always all the full complement of a dim swap they've also got a new dot - that's down here towards the bottom we also have like all the stuff you would expect on a deluxe board surface mounted parameter debug LED all that good stuff the first going to be compatible with Asus five-way optimization so the automatic overclocking functions that you can just plug in and then we've got a couple of ticks left one is X or will passively cooled at least by the heatsink which trade down here there's another vertical one that's great in here just great way to unclog because you get plenty of airflow going over the top of that I like what they've done with the design here is pretty much thickened with the black and white aesthetic with some gray and silver accents and of course this also is going to feature RGB LED lighting before I show you the X $2.99 - a here's the hyper M 2 by 16 card this could be an add-on it's not doesn't come with any of these words that basically they said that they have bran like up to 20 m dot two devices in the same system with this card you can actually slot in for M two devices on there they said there is a hardware controller on there to assist with connecting the devices I don't believe it's a RAID controller but it says that you can actually kind of lose the scaling up of the speed after about 12 drives but hey if you don't have enough in that see where you got to on these boards by default and you can add someone with the hyper M does move by 16 cards here's they look at the H use prime X - 99 - a so isn't going to look very similar to the X - 99 interlocks it's not going to come with the same accessory kit like the deluxe is going to give you the Thunderbolt card as well as an extension one doesn't come with that price it's going to be a little bit less they're still going to get a very similar configuration to our delivery as well as connectivity firm dot 2 as well as of course that he pick which is going to help keep those M devices and that being right to slice into it so if there's a watch this a little bit out of your price range then a prime is probably going to be more suited to you it is probably going to be the most expensive x99 board from the ones releases and watching though that one would be the cover there's B suspects $2.99 mark - this is a slightly more kept down version to the top and this one's probably going to be the most affordable XD 99 motherboard from the 80s table of boards that week that they're coming out with right at launch date so you're going to have this all the tough identifying features that you might expect you know it's got that a very rugged durable aesthetic gets tough logo I mean not always looks good doesn't make anything faster but you know stylish keeping keeping me stylish is always nice you got a single m dot C right here and you've got an additional vertical and SP with a we have says mysterion steel-reinforced flop but if you want to go really hard tour with the stuff you want to be marked one which is down here there's the top X to 99 marked one this one has thermal armor as nations has been doing with a lot of their top serious boards up around the PPI and up around IO up here as well as some additional stuff going on up in there what is it it's a button and all that's in them okay but that's so you can still press to them okay button which is used for making sure that your memory compatibility is there you have a problems just getting your system up and running due to a memory issue none okay button is very helpful for that you do get the USB 3.1 gen2 front panel connector on this one right in there very nice to have that it is Gen 2 so you get the full complement to pull bandwidth that's available with Gen 2 and that's super nice for connecting external devices so you guys also the slotted in Thermal Armor here to protect dust from getting into the crack then you have a bit of active cooling here there is a fan here for the chipset as well as again an MDOT to device we can connect right down here keep everything nice and cool I keep it under the thermal armor and then back here on the IO tons of connectivity again you have to be really 3.1 gen2 type-c there as well so plug in plug in all your external devices right there if you get a bit of lighting gear on the top mark one as well you can see on the ultimate course logo right there that's kind of new for the stuff series that's not something that's been there before but you know if you're not in dart to be lighting and you want something that's completely low-profile Casey says always do a good job of allowing you to turn off the LEDs in the UEFI or using this software let's just go right to the top end next guys this is the RG rampage 9 extreme x2 99 and the top-end shrim issue so what can be said here first up with the let's talk aesthetics first they have added some translucent covers over the armor so up on the i/o as well as down here on this extra armor that they put here around all the PCI Express expansion slot just really cool look from the LEDs down here kind of just softly flowing over the texture they put there's the same thing on the top left as well as down towards the bottom nice big RG logo there's well all RGB and control and this one is just it's ownership the cat's got the extra stuff that we wouldn't expect to see so then the top right is what they're calling dimmed to which is an MDOT two riser Clarke riser card that flush into a dual inline memory module pocket there's what so you don't lug memory in there and you close this little card now that allows you to mount an MDOT see for that give yourself an extra MDOT to put it in a position where it will potentially be getting some active cooling especially if you're using an air cooler on the CPU or just the position that takes a little bit further away from the heat contamination of other components like graphics cards and that kind of thing next now you're going to see all the connectivity points for monitoring voltage there's some dip switches for doing things like turning off the IE lanes all the really high-end stuff that they put on the extreme boards just to make sure that you can go maximum overclocking accessory-wise this is actually going to come with a 10 gigabit ethernet expansion part just the pci expansion first that's really nice to have there's a little bracket that you can also use it's just going to connect to your PCI Express expansion slot to provide some GPU support so if you have a large heavy GPU you should just get as much sag or hopefully minimal lag with that and this one even comes with integrated Wi-Fi not 802 not 1188 OSU got 11a be the new standards for Wi-Fi which gives you up to 4.2 gigabits per second of available bandwidth which is just crazy so there it is the rampage 9 extreme XP 99 and probably it's going to be very expensive but you know it's like it works though I look round up the X 299 boards before we move over to the AMD X 399 board that they have here behind me this is the Rd fixed hg19 ie gaming if the rampage anionic stream is a little bit too rich for your blood if it has welded so many effects if you're looking for something that is of course gaming ecstatic gamer grade with all the features that you would want in a gaming motherboard I already strict series has been doing that for quite a while so RGB LEDs of course I can't go wrong there at least I like Asus implementation of these now let me turn that down so you can actually see that I've got the Arg backlit logo you're kind of like reading in there it's a straight hole and that will accent here upon the i/o as well pretty minimal they seems like they've actually sounded that a little bit from some of the excuse some people are V 270 boards that we've seen in fact there's no RGB down here towards the bottom these are of course units will have RGB headers on them they can connect up devices if you want to and there's now including support for individually addressable Ari LED strips of LED strips like you might be familiar with like env XP has I mean obvious I'm not saying those are compatible but they can individually address these LEDs to give you a call effect or justify you to do more than just the basic setup of here's an LED strip that's a single color which is an awesome thing to be able to do so I'm glad that Asus is including that I'm imagining you're going to have specialized LED strips that will be compatible with that that anyway beyond that we have again a pretty full-featured board here LGA 20 2016 6 socket 8 DIMM slots and steel-reinforced PCI Express expansion Club you do have a debug LED header down there in the bottom see RGB header right that is pretty standard and then I believe this was the special RGB header right there as well as individually addressable you don't have surfaced on a power reset on Jonah's board so if you keep that in mind however they have continued to give you tons of support for high speed up to see them maybe a Satheesh them that few red up here as well as another MDOT tube that's going to be down here below the chips that heatsink and then finally again you've maintaining the connectivity for front panel USB 3.1 gen2 with that connector that agency was one of the ones who originally helped to develop so I'm like I'm liking to see that I'm pretty much all the board's routine here all right good all right here it is I'm excited I'm excited I mean I just I just went through all the X to 99 board but I'll be honest I'm almost a little bit more excited about this really cause it's my first x3 anyone xx 399 board this is a thread Ripper board it's for AMD's new line of high-end desktop processors they just have recently been announcing and teasing and I mean alright so I should tell you what it's called is the RG Venus extreme so whereas before we've had or like crosshair that's been the name for like most of the Andy boards I now has beat it and it is the extreme so I don't know if they're going to have like a you know formula or probably not an impact I doubt we'll see an impact version of this board but who knows this has been crazy a thing from the back so related to that I mean I mean there's so many limited specs that I can tell you about this board so far but we do have squad channel ddr4 memory support Andy has just released a little bit more information about the Red River the CPUs are supposed to have sixty-four PCI Express Lanes we're not show care how they're going to be configured whether it's going to be any elimination so far as restriction as restrictions or anything like that but 64 PCIe Lane considering that Intel has taken like they're eight for Burk and dropped it down to 28 PPI a Lane 64 on every thread Ripper hurt so that means funds would connect it like you can give full complement of PCI Express lanes for all four z CX / substantial expansion puffs down there if you want the four-way quadrille support that kind of thing if you want to set up a massive rendering system it seems like it's poised to have a pretty big impact on the high-end desktop market asus has told us again you are going to get the changing of it Ethernet card with this board as well that's nice to have beyond that again there's not just a ton of stuff I can tell you about this because AMD has still been not holding pretty close to their chest as far as additional spectively you can't be a couple playing a couple knuckles you see power connectors up there though we have surface modifier reset I'm imagining they're going to have a ton of stuff over here for overclocking we have no idea what over-talking is going to be like with predator with 16 points and 32 threads though you know it might be limited who knows but personal seeing you got to that USB again 3.1 gen2 connector right there and just you with a nice clean looking guard just a little bit RGB lighting I'll have some aces so cool what they have inside here I really hope you see thread Ripper come on public Jason Oh guys let's move over the monitors this is the rog swift pg3 5vq and i want it if you guys aren't familiar with life setup at home having a through predator x34 which is a 34-inch g-sync panel this is like the step up from that and I have no idea if there's probably going to be other vendors that also have this size and resolution but 35 inch ultra wide qHD is what they call it 34 40 by 1440 resolution no 21 by 9 and you have a display for one place for an HDMI 2.0 as far as being able to connected but has a frameless curved design frameless is subjective in my personal opinion but it is definitely curved HDR supports 512 zone LED backlight which means you're going to have excellent black reproduction thousand candles per square meter peak brightness for a really really high contrast ratio and Nvidia g-sync support without this 200 Hertz refresh rate oh my god so big widescreen awesome resolution for gaming GT support quantum dot technology as well so that increases the color gamut that's available at the DCI p3 and it even has illuminated LEDs the RG logo is projected down onto the bottom as well as a really cool RGB LEDs design across the back of the monitor which you can either just have set a football or you know even project back against the wall behind the monitor a little bit for a really cool look for your gaming setup I just also wanted to point out that they're making a new push into precinct monitors so if you saw the PG Theory we now have the XP theory the PG series is going to have GP the XP theory is going to have precinct so would be a very very nice monitors I imagine I hope to combine with one of AMD's mill Vega GPUs if they ever get around to launching the gaming versions of those this one in particular is the x key 3 2 vq 30 1.5 inch widescreen marker 178° viewing angles as it is i PS this one has made hundred and forty four Hertz refresh rate and of course variable refresh technology with the depth of sync or precinct so you're going to get carefree smooth buttery gameplay whether you're pairing this up with maybe an RX 580 if you want some to the bill amount or first Vega once that's available and finally here is an RG Strix notebook write our district notebook what do you guys think of it you're probably going to be more interested as to what is inside this Argos trick notebook it is the first ever rise in notebook and a Foose has managed to wedge a r7 1708 core processor in here as well as an AMD rx 580 it is a four gig arc 580 but this is going to be available for between 1300 and $1500 depending on what configuration you get with like SSD supported memory and that kind of thing but yeah they said they're also going to be doing a r5 1600 version of this as well so for those you guys have been looking for AMD to get back into a viable option and the notebook category this appears to be the beginning I thought it was going to come with the rise and 315 but it's great to see them able to fit something like an r7 1700 with that many cores in something that is relatively thin I mean it's not the sloths notebook you've ever seen but it is definitely portable and with all those scores in there I'd be very nice and powerful to the great great road editing system I would imagine okay I can wrap it up for my coverage of the a through smooth here comes effects 2017 I want to say huge taken by sponsors for my coverage a--there one more time of
