2016-01-06
oh whoa yeah there's background noise is Becca and eyes the other homies are in the kitchen they just got back from shopping nothing we can do about that this Vegas folks you just roll with it you

fruit is it what episode is in spray is 45 45 45 oh I should probably edit that on that oh I did I'm so on top of things you are a type of thing but that's also because i have else to do thing other than just get here you had a boatload of other thing that's a lot of play stuff yeah right okay live from CES descriptions good I'm use those tags as is i don't care fuking and I'm just gonna start bracket okay that should be the title of this stream awesome hardware number 45 CES 2016 literally streaming live all right it says we're not streaming to you to blood yeah wow really really maybe maybe there's something wrong with your internet Kyle at home no because we've changed nothing nothing so two weeks ago we try to do this yeah I'm Kyle's house with this system and didn't it didn't work we kept trying and it would go for a second but Time Warner would never do that because I pay them honest money there well it's not it's weird that are an honest company yeah it's weird because it streams just find it switch right yeah other than that it's it's strange we're still having yes there are liquor bottles being in the background oh we're streaming to YouTube though hey hey everyone I needed to play hi who has no idea what's going on welcome welcome to awesome hardware this is a very unique and special episode of Awesome hardware if you've never watched the show this is not a good one to start with this is not going to be a normal show true but the cuddle and I do this show every Tuesday evening usually at five-thirty p.m. pacific time we stream to twitch TV / awesome hardware and we also streamed our YouTube channels today's show we are framing from CES Las Vegas Nevada we both just got here today I have been running around I've already been to a couple vendors today and it's been a lot of fun but my half of the show which you're watching right now I have nothing planned oh good I have big fat goose egg I tried to do a little bit yesterday and then my plan was like oh I'll do it tomorrow anyway I didn't really have a plan ok so we ever have a plan though Paul yes yeah we believe in it we kind of do usually play in the show out with topics subject matter all of that good stuff but today's half especially my half of the show is going to be a little bit shorter a little bit more off the cuff so I'm thanks for bearing with me if you're if you're not into this kind of thing then stick around for next week and I promise we'll have more plans hey the plague is today is so cheers yep hmm just be glad that we don't have like a dead hooker behind us or something cuz that honestly that was close to happening i'm also i'm also glad i can drink beer now i have a when you when you're in vegas and you go to the different vendors and a lot of them have sweets and hotels and stuff like that and a lot of times you get offered like a drink like like hey here's we have this like 20-year scotch or whatever whether you you drink that stuff right yeah I do yeah delicious but I typically don't I don't go for that during day I don't like to clouds the mind you know and plus what I'm trying to talk on camera unless I'm streaming a live show evidently I I like to have my wits about me um fit anyway cool yeah so I'm glad we're back to stream time so apparently buffering on YouTube is a lot worse and it's causing lag on Twitch it's lagging it's like a on twitch the frame drop is Rio no all right I don't see a pop-up from exploit saying that okay as well well you know what then you to youtube sorry YouTube viewers if you're watching this right now go to twitch TV / awesome hardware yes because I'm just gonna cut the YouTube stream and uh it we're doing a live bitch yeah you want a lot of supreme but you have dropped streaming to YouTube uh no I don't want to stop the broadcast broadcasting twitch yeah all right so um those are our roots twitches our roots yo yeah oh alright we Mak we cut out YouTube we might have some we might have some some bandwidth limitations here right but that's okay that's alright so Kyle how was how was your day you got you got you got here my day was good I went to del taco twice we woke up we got breakfast at Del Taco by my house down the street and then like three hours later we stopped at Barstow oh yeah and got some Barstow time actually I didn't get anything there because I was still full from breakfast but my wife got Barstow taco which is obviously amazing and then we finally rolled in we were right on time I mean we this is the only time in history though in my life that I've driven to Vegas from from LA and it was raining the entire time cuz of El Nino yeah there's lots of rain today lots of weary stormy yeah it was intense I cut a lot of it coming up out of LA but once I get into Victorville and the high desert there was some rain but it was it was spotty yeah kind of here that I like hydroplane to Vegas yeah first off Tocqueville is not better than del taco you shut your mouth oh yeah you you shut it can we ban and who's man mod been whoever said that and I just want to point this out dr. jump for anyone who's not aware del taco is not well if you're in the US it's not it's not nationwide I think mostly in the west coast and western state fortunate soul del taco actually started in baker or Barstow I forget which one yeah i think was where the first one was yeah so if you happen to be on a road trip to her from vegas from Southern California the del tacos in Barstow and Baker are like super del tacos yeah everything costs a little bit more but like you get a chicken soft taco and it's like massive and they put like they serve it open-faced yeah they put more stuff on it it's crazy like a whole new experience yeah so it's it's well worth trying and I I don't blame Kyle for stopping there twice I'll probably need to stop on the way back yeah get some of that absolutely um all right let's should I should I even attempt to talk about anything no let's talk a little bit it's whatever you feel coming I can talk about a little bit of stuff shoot the we can talk about so guys again normally I try to plan a little bit of show planning and stuff but I've had no time so far today i have been to corsair and asus those are two big ones so I've had some of the big ones that I've seen some of their products yep but they have but the thing about CES is it's never a huge event for like your your component level pc product launches its just write it you know you get a few things here and there but I feel like most of that stuff comes out at computex yeah so um yeah as a results there are a few things but not a lot also Angela thank you for joining us and you're not very Angela you're not very late because I was very late yeah we like literally just you're right on time today about five or ten minutes into it but my half of the show is probably a very pretty short anyway so um this should work right hey it works okay um here's pc perspective and uh wait where did it go you know it's actually good that you saw course here today because i actually have a story from them about what they're showing off at CES okay but since you're not super prepared for your hat if you want to talk about it you can go ahead and I can kind of a riff on that okay from the info I have because I have a feeling that I know what you're going to talk about if you're talking about Coursera so yes from of course there yes um but I could be wrong yes that that is what we saw there okay but let's let's let's wait on that okay cuz i don't i don't have any visuals to show sure but here's here's something that i did see today that i thought was kind of cool um asus has made a few of these little portable monitors in the past but they've all been TN panels um this one I thought was pretty cool it's the env 168 B+ which is just a wonderful name for a contentious people are trying to open bag the chips in the background they're realizing it's horrible for the audio um mb 168 b+ though it's a USB 3 point of water 15.6 inch it's 1080 and it wait no this isn't this is incorrect it's got to be it's supposed to be IPS Scott this is an IPS panel ooh if this is the one that I just saw literally less than an hour ago this is an IPS panel and that's a big difference difference wait maybe there's two different models oh no first it uses an IPS display instead of the occasion okay now and I'm sorry I understand if he's blah blah all right title of the article mb 1 69 c plus okay first line of the article mb 168 B+ that's not sorry it's actually the MV 1 69 c plus way more easy to remember of course and and that is the new one so what he was saying is that they have done this before but with a TN panel gotcha okay this one is IPS so it's really good color reproduction beautiful super thin and light and easy as USB type-c connector nice so you only need that one plug god there's no extra power it's just that one plug USB type-c that is awesome over to the thing so for something like a road trip like we are doing to go to see yes where you might want to bring a laptop write and edit on it but you might be used to like a you know having the extra screen real estate with multiple monitors grab something like this and pop it up I think it's me two hundred bucks that's pretty good so yeah I was I said the same thing as I gari that's expensive as a 1080 monitor goes but for the flexibility again of this and like super thin to like really thin it looks very sleek yeah so I thought thankful I thought that was kind of cool that's what I think that's great for editing yeah when you cuz especially on a 15.6 inch display I mean we're used to I mean what are you headed on a 27-inch I had it on a 27-inch I have a 30-inch 2560 by 1600 yeah with a 27-inch 10 18 x to it right so I mean that's a lot of inches that you're losing if you're just going with like a 15.6 inch laptop like I have here so just to expand that you can extend your premiere pro timeline like that or have more file explorer windows open so you can easily drag and drop just those milliseconds add up add up actually so that's nice to see much like streaming with a single monitor you streaming too yeah you missed that extra real estate since we're on the subject and since it's the next article that's listed here apparently pc perspective must have also visited a sous earlier today I'm feeling them they have a new line of 4k monitors this is the Animus with the mg line there's a new swift monitor too but this one is actually 24 inch ok and I don't think this is 4k wait i'm confused now what are they talking about this is why when we do show prep it helps let me know what the hell is going on yeah um this but this is more fun this is a fresh article so maybe the article is wrong or maybe I'm confusing this thing but the other thing that I saw at asu's was a 24-inch 1080p asst rog monitor which fits everything here so far except this says a line of 4k monitors and it wasn't for K it was 1080 ok um but which makes more sense on a 24 inch to play a lot more sense I believe you um and human use and it was g-sync so r GG sick monitor 24 inch 1080 and I don't know if I was supposed to talk about the price yet it is going to be like four to five hundred bucks which is yes more expensive but it's kind of like all of the g-sync monitors are more expensive I was going to say like oh so it's like a budget g-sync panel yes but that's still kind of pricey as budget g-sync panels go this is on the cheaper side and I mean it's got all the rog stuff so i think it's the you know it's got all the screen overlay stuff that they do and everything which which can be fairly useful alright um it's not IPS though so anyway that was another thing they showed there they also had a they have the final finished version of their 34 inch 3440 x 1440 who r o g9 monitors so kind of a competitor to the ac's predator x 34 absolutely competitive asus predator um I'm sorry to the acer predator sorry there asus rog swift 21 x 9 34 inch goes up to 165 hurts mmm in overclock mode though right and i believe it's still IPS it is it is IPS and it has to be the the housing I mean it's a weird thing to talk about for a monitor but like a lot of the stuff recently I don't know I like transformers I guess I don't know just get a design they have like mechanical things built on top of each other but kind of symmetric I don't know just biotech almost Yeah right just kind of kind of those cool design things and I know sometimes that type of thing can be overdone and seemed over the top yeah but this one just it seemed really cool the base at the back has this kind of twisted design yeah on it that looks pretty cool I mean it's very like this looks like it belongs in Tony Stark's you know dungeon or whatever right you know for for iron man but it and and then whereas the predator x 34 has a pretty cool sort of downward firing glow that it can do underneath and you can change the color of it right the ROG one right at the center of the base projects downward a circular red asus rog logo oh wow with like us kind of a circular circular design and an rog i right at the center what's kind of crazy and i know it's just silly like l like lighting bling on a monitor but like everyone who walked up to it that's like the first thing they noticed was like ooh that's cool yeah this is got this cool it's a marketing technique I think definitely a marketing thing it's definitely product purely an aesthetic and all that stuff but um but yeah also guys if you're if you were trying to watch a YouTube stream we cut that off I'm sorry yeah we are streaming from an Airbnb in Las Vegas and the YouTube dual stream was eating up the bandwidth and it was making everything choppy so right I'm gonna try to do a transfer I'm gonna try to draw transfer to it maybe ya later I don't just know anything at all just can just transfer it over and say who cares yeah I don't know I'm not cuz I'm not gonna kind of editing i know that's for sure crunch crunch time but whatever thank you all for joining us those of you who are here and sorry again that we've started kind of late ok for bearing with us mm-hmm what's next ah i wonder if there's anything anything on that i'd like to show pictures rog what would that be um 34 inch curved you see Sarge e34 curved there it is well there is go to images Lucy DIY page on it yeah but the images that are up right now might be the earlier versions because they all right that's a thing that we've I've already seen a ton of at CES yeah is like hey all that stuff we showed six months ago to change completely nothing has changed but like all that stuff we announced like hey these are the products we're launching soon now we actually made lunch dimmer right yeah yeah I know you mean yeah we finally got it to the confirmation on all the parts you saw last year yeah so I don't see there's any pictures yeah this is a kid Gert now this is an older this is an older design oh is it yeah they seem to look like that I mean it looks similar but I did they've changed it interesting does it still have those three kind of triangular tripod legs yeah it's got three legs and stick out and this is and it's got like 10 of some of this you know etching good on the back and that kind of that how wide are the feet like as far as would you need a pretty large desk to fit that they're pretty wide yeah but I mean they had it on a standard size desk so I don't think you'd need anything crazy big uh you know as long as you've got a reasonably big size desk that could fit a 34 inch ultra light I think it's always the rear foot that that worries me yes looks like and I want to push it back as far as I can cuz I like well this 34 inches it's right up and on the standard rectangular base you can actually kind of overhang it on your desk a little bit without you know too much trouble but indeed but cool yeah sounds like Asus was a good was a good good sweet yeah very good a suffering stop by there oh yes okay yeah they're at Trump you have power yes it's the best tower it trumps everything right when you walk in it's like this is the best and the what most wonderful location possible in Las Vegas eyes are acting better and something but they don't let Mexicans it's definitely something racist about Mexican okay racism oh man don't worry we're gonna steer the show in the completely wrong direction does pc perspective have any other fabulous articles that they have been posting soap with me so you here's something I wanted to talk about but I liana it is kind of slow really I wanted to talk about this because I spotted it but I have not I can't so guys I can't say that i've read this article or there's lots of articles on this in the past couple days so i'm just going to touch on it briefly and I there's a pc perspective article here we're looking at it's called AMD technologies group previews polaris architecture right so i am going to try to read a little bit of this so we can comment on it just to touch but but what can we say about this all right it's Polaris is the name of the next generation architecture that AMD is working on the North stop yes this is Polaris the North Star yeah oh okay are you doing a speed test right now yeah I'm just curious okay I meant to do before we started screaming it's kind of doesn't that use up your internet yeah it's I'm just kind of curious to see how I'm sacrificing your after the show Tegrity the stream because you don't sabotaging sabotaging now my own true all right so it's not based on the 14 enemy rises yep using FinFET technology so 3 3d transistors which have been used in various things Intel's de la which this i think i read a bit of that i don't know if it was this article or in an text but this is the first time in what 55 years or so that that were diverging away from 28-nanometer for AMD yet for AMD yeah i know amber going to 14 or so this is a big kind of a generational leap that I think that AMD is kind of coming across so it's a big deal it's a big deal well it's like we're at my house there's a train going by yes that's awesome I know how it feels um so yeah they have taken their gcn architecture which is the 28th made up built on the 28 nanometer process a cat was talking about and they've updated it there they're doing cool new stuff like hdmi 2.0 a right playboy's 1.3 yeah next generation multimedia so does H this I thought was actually pretty cool this is kind of going along with AMD building an h.264 encoder into their which we start out with the was a 600 series and started out with yeah um they are building in an h.265 main 10 d code for up to 4k so 4k h.265 at 60 frames per second built-in encoder that's part of the GPU so what that could mean for any of you guys who have used that technology and the nvidia side is you know it can income it can encode whatever it's displaying to you on the screen for a game you're playing it can also encode that very rapidly with the built-in hardware in order to output it for streaming or anything like that so very cool and very nice to see that upgraded to like this is the next generation of ok cities which even allow for K screaming I don't know but if they don't now they're probably going to very soon they half China's just coming out otherwise it's like well what are you gonna do well I mean they don't have to but Emily they should then they need to if they wanted to stay a relevant and competitive with likes of netflix and youtube great um yeah so they have a shot of the Polaris architecture a historically pin performance per watt for radeon GPUs so you can see all the flashy new signs so there's a new command processor in fourth generation graphic for next yeah new gcn architecture yeah nice multimedia cores and his display engine and l2 cache and all that cool stuff right um the upshot as far as a demo that they were showing for this and this is actually all stuff that AMD talked to a lot of the reviewers about I think a month or two back but a lot of it was under a really heavy NDA so they're they're releasing the information very slowly right um so here's using the Polaris architecture and I think this is with the Star Wars Battlefront yeah battlefront test two demo yeah and sorry if this is a little grainy but they basically we're playing star wars battlefront at 1080 at 60 frames per second on the Polaris architecture using a demo card right and they were comparing it to a GTX 950 right which was also running at the same frame rate at 1920 x 1080 but the 950 had 140 wat I don't know if this is a totally or the actual measured power draw but one of the other either way sure 140 lat versus 86 watts yeah and that's that's a huge difference and power or power efficiency has been something that nvidia has kind of claimed the throne or you know they've they've been ahead in that game for a while right um even when AMD has had cards that could perform competitively with NVIDIA it's always been like well the nvidia card uses 20 or 40 watts less or yeah you know did they they just they've been more efficient for what you get out of it so bright that's pretty sweet it is but you also have to bear in mind that Nvidia hasn't revealed their numbers in terms of power efficiency for Pascale either they have done and they're probably going to be you know like I still feel like it's going to still be competitive but there's probably a higher chance now that AMD will be kind of neck and neck with with Team Green in terms of power efficiency it seems like hipsters nice if these if this information plays out thanks to FinFET yes well yeah been in bed vinca it's such a fun fun little term to say in bed yeah so they are planning to use this for small form factors small form factor in integrations right but yeah there's kind of the rundown of it fourth-generation mid-2016 we can expect this land available a planned availability mid-2016 mm-hmm and they didn't seem to talk a lot about hbm at least in this particular article maybe that's something that they're I don't know I don't know I the way it's been going seems to me like they're probably going to be doing like hpm based cards as well as gddr5 right maybe the gddr5 was it plus or dvd-r six sounds there's a couple other day on GDD are variants that they're also kind of working on so we might see something like that so hbm basically reserved for like the higher end cards most likely yeah because because they're still very like ships limited yields as far as production one goes for hbm so yeah well it'll probably still take a little while to get an h BM card in your hands unless you're an early adopter with lots of money yeah you know that's often the case mhm um all right it's all for my chef the show yeah is it I mean I mean that i might have nothing for their plight no let some guys if you have any questions any random question do you a genuine if well answer some questions yes I feel like I want to go for at least a half an hour yeah of course have we been going for I have no idea how I don't even know what time you stir what time do we start guys and I oh GD are 5 X 5 X oh yeah thank you gel dad d / Sony wait hundred and thirty-two viewers thanks for watching the show everyone why I don't know how this why would it why would we get a surge in viewership that this is a lunch I'll show on the worst day of our lives like super late no prep and they're all very unplanned we need to just drink more I think we've just been doing the show wrong or I think people just want to see like utter debauchery an organization and complete chaos some people just want to watch the world burn and dad for that we throw up we can go that route that's right by the way are like IPAs but you should really try this cuz it started five minutes ago this is a Kern River Brewing perdedor brewing excellent brewery other winter ale interior it sounds like a really seasonal kind of like spicy stupid ale I don't like winter ales generally but this is actually a rebrand of their original IPA that like made waves everywhere no this is mine it smells like your cat it smells like your cat and you don't want it so you will give it to me you will give it to me that is tasty yeah it's not bad at all um yes because of CES we're at CES mm-hmm was that not I think all we mentioned that it clarified that I think right um am I mad at Kyle for sharing his address this is kyle's address I am staying in a different place right so this will be the first time in weeks that Paul and I haven't shared a bed if you well I didn't think we're gonna get that detail but maybe times who know if I I feel like if you were gonna like release the address where you currently work yep this is a good time to do it yeah is this temporary location system Prince true and there's a security guard and there's a gate it's probably the best time to reveal although I i was able to schmooze my way past him don't tell them that i sweet-talked him just anima 20 it's Vegas hey I was like yeah they'll run on money game at 20 was all good um any stuff from corsair that you're interested in at CES from the almighty chalupa yeah i can go for a chalupa right no I your name no I don't want it and I want you actually we're gonna get dinner after this race oh of course maybe I should have my half of the show oh yes I already visiting corsair um what did what did I have oh they had the new cases okay had the there facts are very the rectum alpha spec respect specs suspect series from course there is their budget series so they're cheaper yeah but they released the highest end of the spec series is it's the spec alpha right and I told George cuz George is like I'm out of names I got nothing else is very solid it call it have fun it's awesome best guys if I'm doing and doing some reporting for tech syndicate cos of course gonna be doing reporting as well but tech syndicate is where I'm gonna have some some of mice my reporting about stuff watch my interview with George it was fun nice um yeah he nice George is awesome because he also he gives no a lot of times it seems yeah right like there it is look we made a case he'd be a great guest on the show the computer in it he a great guest on awesome hard he would yeah he knows his stuff I think he's got he's got the right attitude and all that kind of stuff but yeah so the spec alpha is it's like the highest end of that it's very much that kind of like gamer design for so2 brigade's you know the angles in the big window and it comes in a like a gray and red and white and black right a black and yellow finish yep um definitely not bad at all an acquired taste I think yeah yeah but the interior layout seems pretty cool dude I mean relative what you think of the exterior and that's the thing that you can be fairly you know reassured about with Corsairs like pick the case that you like the look of yeah and chances are you know you'll it's gonna have in knowsley okay all right so here's a tech power power of article there's the spec alpha so um looks this extra reminds me of one like an asus rog yeah yeah wanted they're all in one yeah they're not on one this mate the m8 no no that was a as rock ones are pre-built systems great the great cheer gr8 yeah relating Zeus it's a red white black and then there's a more subdued I'm shocked that they didn't go with the black side panels with the red striping for ROG you're right that blew my mind I was like what that was Jim missed opportunity but George said they were looking at other colors so this is this is definitely the kind of case it seems like they might launch in a variety of different colors through the they have like three variations right now but they're looking at other color combination so I would be surprised if they made a special right shorter run of like you know you know I'm gonna say right now I'm not a fan of the exterior like at all it's just on my style I kind of agree but at the same time it's one of those it's one of those types of styles that you don't really find in the case of this price point this is an eighty dollar case and it looks it looks more expensive than that at least from the the design factor it looks like like like you know designers from art school a fancy art school in New York like helped to create this case that would probably cost like you know upwards of 100 150 dollars but it's 80 bucks so if you're into this kind of aggressive bold design it's a little it's a bit impressive for eighty dollars doesn't it today it kind of looks like it's gonna tip over here though doesn't it it's a good optical illusion as well well there's many fun things in one yes they don't have a picture of the black and yellow version here the bomb i see i said the front of it to me kind of looks like the front of a Best Buy yeah just a little priceless favor say yourselves a lot of stuff in best buy hey is this is this entire ship yeah I don't think I don't think it wasn't I don't like to pop out window yeah a fan of the pop out I like the pop-up window I like it it's another one of these cases that issues the use of a an optical drive bay so then frees up some of the space inside and it's got pretty good radiator support and all that kind of stuff sorry again i think i agree with kyle here it's not necess sarily the design that I go for but uh George said the same thing that's also what i like about george he's like look he's very rare this is a case where you're gonna love it or you're gonna hate it yeah this is not a case where there's metal groundies and you know what he says that he hates it I don't think he hates it I think boy yeah he has he taken some militarizing actively he's like I I haven't shown this to anyone who said you know I'm kind of in the middle about it he's like they either like wow that's awesome or like I hate it it looks terrible this is the case they'll go like Super Bowl something yes but there is definitely a market for this style of case and if you're into it it seems like the digital was the called digital storm digital storm cases kind of runs me a little bit but cool i actually have more to say about the other corsair cases okay coming up on my half but what is this valve reviews I don't I don't know I don't know what any of this is add video via our demos I i wish i had like a contacted oculist or something because i don't and it was able to do some videos there this looks like it might just be funny footage of is that is that Ranger out of Ryan with an oculus I love Ryan Trev Ryan shrouds awesome is he talking he's such a degen oxide axle / fish I want to see I want to see silly footage of Ryan shroud in the area he's an animal Hey look he's VR the VR experience brought to you by Ryan shroud X so this is the other is this the nvidia this is envisioned i love the contrast this i love in VR is the contrast between what the hell's going on in real life versus what's actually going on here is it looks like he's derping around with you know whatever but what he's actually doing is like piloting a jet over these majestic mountains with you know like what like what what does this have to do with what Ryan Sharpe was just did you get to reality that looks like he has like sparklers on the fourth of July zyk yeah Becky there's more there's more this looks funny look what what's he doing he's he's commanding him out and he's clearly blinding him out show me paint Offit's oh he's climbing Brian shroud is climbing a mountain why is he climbing nice ok this is get on it audience meme it now that that should be a thing ok um so yeah there's so much going out at CES let's I know I have a good idea Kyle what's up you have a full schedule for this week a mine up and I do is that correct that's true do you have anything that you're really looking forward to on your calendar anything were you like either something you've already kind of spotted a launch of or a specific company who you're like they're really nice or maybe somebody who gave you money earlier I mentioned them on the show see who gave me the most money this year no honestly I'm excited about all of them and I think it's probably because I haven't done too much in depth research of what they're actually going to be showing at the event and and like all the vendors you contact with your like a youtuber journalist or whatever they're they're kind of sometimes they're they're really like like I don't know what open about what they're sharing but I feel like a lot of the time if it's good they learn a bit more cryptic about it like they kind of want to entice you like oh why don't you come out and see what we have to offer it's a really great concept that we've been dealing with and it's like okay that doesn't really tell me specifics but you have me intrigued at the very least so there's a lot of vendors like that that I'm seeing this year that I really don't know what to expect but that kind of makes me equally excited for all of them like you said sometimes CES is just showing up to a sweet and seeing all the from last year and and just being like ok so that is actually a thing that is actually coming out this year great good job guys and there's a lot of that a very common question when I roll in those sweet for the first I was what's new yes exactly can write e nua night know what's no new yes right what have I never seen before what will blow my mind and you know but that can be rare and I think it's I think that's the thing about CES is you're just you're just hoping to be surprised the whole time you never know I mean you can easily go into a suite for company and they've got all the same and it's just kind of underwhelming but I have high hopes for this year I'm seeing a lot more here's the thing I'm seeing a lot more vendors this year than I did last year okay and there are a lot more vendors that actually pertain to the content of my channel end of like PC DIY stuff really big brands that we all are familiar with you know in building computers and stuff like that so I'm stoked about just that bad idea that's good yes great answer um two questions that have popped up in chap that I wanted to answer one is from is drew drew so Phyllis who just said your favorite stuff at CES so far which I don't think Cal can answer nope or maybe more on his half of the show from stuffies research but Kyle hasn't gone anywhere yet rated i could say because i visited corsair and visited asus and i think the thing that stood out to me the most um actually the asus rampage there's a knock on the door the asus rampu outside know the maximum gesture the Maximus eight formula yeah right oh that's not where GP one which we talked about last week on the show they have a demo of it I mean they have it there at the isus booth and I was just like wow that's a badass motherboard pizza we r who ordered us a pizza yes it's already paid for that's a good question this is it very good is ah see if you're gonna do that you can least pay for it what did they get ok I mean should we just do it what oh yeah I mean yeah we're gonna yep you know Josh you need cash oh hey how's got a cache creek okay so um you guys you guys you guys what god I don't know it's just the worst dream ever yeah give me some pizza though we good the the person responsible has not come forward yet I don't think we she'd this because they didn't pay for it what we paid for it we pit I think for it alright this is the second time we have had pizza delivered while we've been streaming the first time was by our friend fractal Josh who did us the solid of paying for the pizza yep rather than just having it delivered so that we didn't have to be like dicks to a pizza guy who shows up like hey I'm just trying to do my job and deliver pizza damn it but hey whatever what is it but the first one is oh onion no it's fine what's the other one's all cheese oh I think you're just good bucket ok let's go something smells strong over there that's the jalapeno ooh extra jalapeno a jalapeno for Paul okay we hear those more pizza on the way no guys if you're gonna order please if we at least pay for it if don't be it if we get more we're gonna have to turn it away so yeah you guys are ruining the night of a purple leaf pizza slippery okay doesn't bother me let's let's let's roll ahead though all right let's doing we're giving anyone else some great ideas what else we have tucked up mmm arm I don't know there's some arm stuff there's so much CES stuff I need to absorb it and i have not had a chance to do that yet right rio toro launchers a prison case what the hell is this i saw that i passed right by it doesn't look that i'm gonna look at it because you don't reminds me of a ranger like a deep cool type company okay trying to make their way into the US market but some former course i can be wrong former employees of course area and vidya founded this comes okay it's totally it's all the rio toro like kokoro all they state is that they develop innovative pc components difficult to gauge what what they intend to do in the future website also list gaming mice and keyboards here's a case i don't know what it's it's not terrifying I mean it's got a mesh front it's got some green doesn't have a good picture hey don't look like it um prism Tower rgl it's an RGB case case interesting everything is RGB now literally everything it's got to have our gb lights on if it's not our gb it's not it's not hot actually I'm phrase in that vein and going back to something that the Maximus eight formula motherboard asus has on display not only did they do the right thing by having only RGB LEDs on the board with no other colors around black or dark gray right it has an RGB header an RGB LED header on the motherboard okay I don't know how how it's gonna work as far as compatibility goes uh-huh but for instance if you have our gb LEDs in your case okay so like I don't know if you could take like at NZXT hue nu plus like the Justice strips right just take the strips and plug it in and forget about the module itself yeah forget about the module but it's got a head around the motherboard to plug the RGB LEDs indirectly ok and then yeah and then you can use the assume I haven't seen this directly but presumably then you can use a software to control your RGB lighting um not just on the motherboard but match it with everything else in the case I'm surprised asus didn't also have LEDs like RGB LED strips to go along with that because that seems like it would go a hand in hand as far as like a marketing thing that's crib I the motherboard by the LED strips well they're also a taiwan-based company and those no shortage of LEDs in Taiwan no tell you that they are everywhere if you want cheap if you want cheap LEDs oh my god just just buy a thousand-dollar plane ticket to go to Taiwan we do need by a bunch of strips we need RGB toilet paper it's been super cheap eat okay that's already on the way guys okay oh it's old news but you know what eventually eventually Paul it's gonna get annoying when you have when every single peripheral and thing on your desk is RGB and you have literally eight or nine different softwares to control them like we need one you there eventually everyone's going to have our GV we're going to need one universal RGB soft like program to control everything so and that's why I mean like one of the things I think why corsair goes with like the corsair link United software that they have the right kind of thing but I mean the tendency for companies when they develop that sort of thing is to make it you know unique and special for the company rather than open yeah so um oh so yeah who who knows I like RGB LEDs I don't they're not a strong selling point for me unless I'm really like building a system specifically like this needs to light up and everything like that right for the most part I consider them more of a nice to have and drew I find with with any stuff that I have that's multi-coloured RGB LEDs I play around with a little little bit at first and then I settle on a color and then I leave that that like I don't write mess around with it a bunch after that exactly exactly you always get the idea in your mind like when you're buying you like I'm gonna have fun with Spence I'm gonna drop so many hours into configuring LEDs I'm gonna like change it on a weekly basis now you find something you like and then just set it and forget about it like the next years until you buy something new going along with your idea of some sort of a uniform centralized place to control RGB LEDs yeah that could be something that would encourage me to have you know to use more colors would be like what if I could program it so it's like it's like type a Type A one one right you know every day of the week taipei 101 lights up and I'd be cool so maybe something we're like a you could put it on schedule schedule Monday's rainbow day and tuesday is like you should patent that show anything red day or and wednesday is pink only pink sunsafe i don't know i'm just-just snow yes I'm telling you I completely agree that's a good idea hey I park it immediately I should I should celery stick sushi sell that to people yeah okay um what time did we start again uh chat tell us what time we started we don't know what we're doing i really don't i feel like i've been going for a good 45 to an hour that long really I mean we turned off for a while I have no idea I don't know I really have no idea what time did we start streaming y'all come out I think we started screaming before seven of course maybe 640 it's probably been like 50 minutes Paul okay well I think that is a good time to wrap up my half of the show then oh we're so close to a thousand viewers do hey nice guys if you're watching don't go anywhere we're gonna cut the stream very briefly and then we're going to stream again for kyle's half of the show kyle has had time today to plan his half of the show which means that we will have more visual things to show you and Kyle will have researched information on topics to that puts so much unfair pressure on me to elucidate no I don't I don't feel confident in my have to show anymore you told me that you had done now there's this golden standard that I have to there is Tim's gonna be the cows have the show's gonna be the best best cows half of the show ever pulse drunkies lying I'm lying to all I need more beer yeah guys thanks for watching my half the show again sorry it was late and there wasn't a whole lot of prepared stuff but i will be doing more yes coverage on tech syndicate this week yep by posting one or two videos to my channel just with some shenanigans and some random stuff and it's going to be wonderful yes and I'll be back next week on Tuesday for a more normal awesome hard work again stay tuned we'll be right back
