my coverage of CES 2015 is made possible by fractal design and WD to learn more about their products and to say thank you for supporting paul's hardware go ahead and click on the sponsor links in this video's description what's up everyone and welcome to pauls harbor coverage of CES 2015 wow my voice is just catalogue what's up guys and welcome to pauls hardware coverage of CES 2015 I had to start out by apologizing because my voice just decided to go out the window last night but I'm going to press on anyway so if you can deal with my voice I'm going to visit quite a few places today since this video is covering a lot of that content i'm going to put some shortcuts right over here so you can click on those to jump to the specific thing you want to see I however need to get on the road and start checking out some of the awesome stuff on display here at CES we're visiting Kingston they have three new products here ministry real quick first off as a 64 gig micro SD flash card now the cool thing about this is it's faster so 90 megabytes per second reads in 80 megabytes per second rate so if you're shooting 4k that's fantastic it's also got some more durability built into it so it's like x-ray proof and shockproof and stuff like that so if you have like one of the new GoPros that shoots in 4k or something like that and you need sturdy high-capacity storage this is going to be a great option for you all right next up we have this little guy it's a data traveler so basically this is going to give you security for your data via hardware encryption it's also got some cloud services built in so you you could have this plugged into your computer at home and I use Internet services to access the data on it and it will also lock out your data if unauthorized access is attempted in much of time so that's really cool for security we also have the new HyperX cloud 2 headset now we talked we talked down on a lot of headsets here now that we've become audio files but the HyperX cloud is one that consistently gets really good reviews they've done some updates to it they have some new colors available right now we're looking at a grey and we also have a reddish sort of darker red version here they have 7.1 sound that's now integrated via this little hardware controller so you can plug that into your system and you got an inline controller for it as well they've also added some additional padding and if you're liking these headsets later this year towards the summer they're going to come out with a white version of this with pink trim for the ladies out there or perhaps Linus the Kingston product that I'm probably most excited about is this hyperx predator which is an m dot to SSD it's it's PCI gen3 it'll do fourteen hundred megabytes per second reads and 1000 megabytes per second writes this thing is amazing they're planning to launch it I think within the next couple months to be available as a standalone just to dry just the little SSD itself it's got a black PCB so if it's visible in your system it's going to look a lot nicer it's also available with the PCA the riser card so you can drop it in if you want to Kingston's also refreshing their hyperx SSD line they now have these savage SSDs they're going with a faisan controller now oh by the way the controller on the predator is marvel ulta they have a flies on a 10 controller though for the HyperX savage so they moved away from San or from San force which a kettle like which means it's going to give you better compressible read and write performance and if you're wondering about the performance of the new savage drive it's this red line right here and as you can see it's right there in line with all the competing drives at least in d if you're wondering about the performance of the predator right there available in for terminator gig capacity Wow 1556 that is a monster school for a sssd for storage i am now at the gigabyte area and i just have a couple things to share with you guys because gigabyte has a lot of products but most of them you might have already heard of but this is new is the x 99 SOC champion now honestly this motherboard is not for everyone it's designed for overclocking which means that gigabyte does things with it to make sure that it's going to be really good at overclocking but it also means they don't necessarily throw all the extra features into it that they do with other boards so you might notice there's only for ddr4 dimm slots and they move them closer to the socket to provide a little bit of less latency for their for overclocking and hitting records they've already gotten some memory speed records with i believe corsair Kingston and g.skill on this board they also have extra space as a result so they can add more heat sinks here to cool the VRMs and that's always important for overclocking you got all the requisite overseas stuff over here like voltage read points and things you can switch on and off a cool feature I like is this switch right here which you can use to switch off or on the extra pins that are in the socket which gigabyte has built into this board it's not part of the Intel spec but you can do that and I like the option to switch that on or off so this is really made for high-end overclockers and for stuff like exotic cooling and liquid nitrogen and that sort of thing which is why it's really not made for everyone but if you want an orange board maybe try out the SOC force that's also an OC board but it's got a bit more extra features if you're really just going for world record overclocks check out the SOC champion I think it's available very soon we don't have a date yet we also have a new gigabyte brix unit this one right here this is Broadwell bricks so it's the new broad well integrated CPU from Intel this one is I 750 500 you it's really cool to see as Intel makes their CPUs more and more power efficient how small gigabyte is able to make these units this one has some add-ons like NFC on the top at least on the i7 version and then it's also going to be more powerful and it should generate less heat due to the broadwell architecture with the new CPU so check out the gigabyte brix s gigabyte continuing that line of ultra compact computers in the brick series which are there they're very popular I gigabyte has a ton of other stuff on display here like their water force which is a three-way 980 SLI configuration that comes with water cooling stuff integrated check out jay's video on that he did a great job but I wanted to show you guys this system if you guys don't remember at computex is here we lost a very dear friend from animax her name was Elaine this is her dedication system this is the Elaine sue edition a collaboration between enermax and gigabyte really really nice system in there just really well done but but still kind of brings a tear to my eye because the lane was so awesome as a rep when we worked with her we miss her a lot so Elaine we miss you but it's great to see this tribute to you here at CES 2015 hey guys we're at the zotac suite at Caesar's Palace now and they have among other things some pretty epic case mods that have been done by BS mods I really look at the reservoir on this one right here absolutely insane a really cool textured liquid that they have gone in there and liquid cooling system to which is really nice they got this other zotac one which i believe was originally a thermaltake case that they modded and put one of their graphics cards up on top which looks pretty maybe not so practical but a pretty cool mod nonetheless we also have of course all the zotac graphics cards that you may have seen in the past months they do a some pretty nice GTX 970 and 1980s but I wanted to focus a little bit on this guy right over here this is the GTX 970 extreme core edition and basically zotac gone they've gone back and switched back to the Nvidia reference PCB which is cool because it means if you wanted to liquid cool this card it would make it much more compatible with a wide array of water blocks they've gone with a three fan solution on the front which is going to help with cooling they modified the cooling solution inside and the heat sinks are set up so it's faster it's thinner and it's quieter over here by the window we have a couple more products the zotac asked us to ask you guys about this GTX 970 little single fan edition of a 970 and as you can see it's got a plastic shroud no backplate but a very small only 16 pin power connector is this something that you guys would be interested in if so let us know in the comments because this is something that they aren't selling now but they're considering and then we also have the 970 am promega this is another the ample mega edition is basically going to be towards the high end of low tax offering its overclocked so it's got 7,000 10 megahertz memory clock and 1152 megahertz base this will boost up to 13 04 right out of the box and for all the high-end cards after the nine 70 s and 80 and 1980s zotac goes with all metal shrouds which is a sort of a subdued look with the gray finish but it's going to blend in really nicely with a lot of systems and they've also been adding back plates to pretty much all of the nine 70s and 980 a cell which is a really nice feature and lastly we have more case mods there's the skeleton one over there that Logan was having a good time with earlier these are all variations of zotac zbox which is a very small computer that you guys might have heard of before they have a lot of different versions of it but they're trying to change up the look so they'd asked some modders to build some prospective designs that they have on file here so if you're interested go over to the zotac facebook page you can vote on which one you like the best you can you can win some really cool prizes including a zotac gtx 980 which is an excellent excellent price we're stopping by the England booth because they have of course the s frame which you will have probably already seen before they have it in a gold trim which is pretty cool as you can see and they've got a really nice water-cooled system going on in there which I like but they have a new case over here kind of based on the same concept so this is what is known as the S box rather than the s frame you might notice it's kind of got the same concept in that it's one large piece of aluminum that goes all the way around the top and that's bent into the shape of an S but this one has a much more clothes design then the s frame versus the sbox pretty pretty standard but tempered glass panel here on the side still you have dr cage and storage area over here on the other side and you can move these panels access those five and a quarter inch base io is up on the top and this one is course is in red and black finish now in wind has asked me to ask you guys what you think of this case because it's not a full production yet but also if you're interested in it how much do you think this case would be worth mayor in mind that bending a little is very difficult so keep that in mind but how much would you pay for a case like this and does this design interest you because i know i like the elemental designs from in wind but practically speaking they're not always the best I want to hear from you guys let me know in the comments and as always at least in these videos forgive how terrible my voice is all right everyone thank you for viewing Paul's hardware is sweet and seductive edition of the CES 2015 coverage again sorry about my voice I'm going to rest it tonight tomorrow it should be better I hope but I don't forget to click that like button don't forget to hit the subscribe button if you haven't already and we'll see you all very soon cool so bad
