hey guys welcome to CES 2017 coverage continuing here from Caesars Palace which is a lovely place to gamble but we're not doing that we're talking about some stuff from gigabyte because they have some new graphics cards they have of course a ton of new motherboards in the Z 270 line they have a new gaming system that's kind of an all-in-one units and also going to talk a little bit about LED lighting but first I would like to say a huge thank you to gigabyte for sponsoring my CES 2017 coverage also a big thanks to Toshiba and deep cool my three sponsors they're great people all right let's start off with this this little product that we have right here which I'm going to attempt to one hand which is a very a skill that you learn after doing this for a while you might look at this and say oh that looks a lot like the GTX tennety extreme gaming and you'd be correct to some degree it does feature a lot of the same design from it so it does have the lighting going across an X pattern on the front there it also has lighting on that logo on the side but it's not a gigabyte logo it's a norris logo so continuing the sort of transition four gigabytes of their highest end gaming equipments to the Auris brands they have now launched this first ever GPU or will be launching soon beginning of February first ever GPU that's Oris branded and again to carry over a little bit of design and stuff from the extreme series does have a little bit of a light orange accents going across there and then the backplate here I think is what's most upgraded or changed you will note that they have a copper plate sits there behind the GPU to help provide a little bit of extra heat dissipation gigabyte was very keen to for me to know that they're the first ones to have done that so balls in your court other graphics card manufacturers also that Oris logo the Eagle right there also lights up with RGB goodness so there you go a new graphics card from gigabyte they are not talking about clock speeds for that one yet because it's still early but keep your eye out for it if you like high-end gtx ten eighties but over here look at these new products that are still from the extreme gaming line series but our products that you might not have seen from gigabyte before you guys want a gigabyte CPU cooler they have one right here to the XTC 708 features sixteen point eight million customizable RGB lighting modes no sixteen point eight million different colors theoretically on the Gigabyte extreme gaming logo there on the front so you'll see that through the side panel of your case depending on how you have this set up duel 120 millimeter fans on either side these are proprietary designs so I do feel like it might be difficult to swap them out but I feel like depending on what fan you're using it does have a standard Hutton 20 millimeter fan mount on there so you might be able to get something else in but these fans have the same wing blade design as the gigabyte extreme gaming series of GPUs have so the special design with the rid you know it's ribbed for your pleasure and everything like that to help cool everything better and the thing I notice that's that to me the most with this because obviously it's a tower style CPU cooler with copper heat pipes and a aluminum thin stack in the middle but look at the size of those heat pipes they're freaking 10 millimeters each really thick and you know Gerst is important so make sure you pay attention to that also on the bottom of course the flat to direct heat pipe contact which has been proven by many CPU coolers to be a very effective means of cooling going all the way back to the cooler master hyper 212 so there you go a gigabyte CPU cooler they also have an X H 300 gaming headset here and of course you probably have already seen their sli bridges but these are all available for sale right now I'm told you can get them on Newegg so um go there and buy them a quick pit stop here just to show you these also unique products look a norris sli bridge because if you're gonna get a norris graphics card you gotta have the matching sli bridge pretty actually pretty nice all-black pretty low profile - it has buttons on it I know what those buttons do maybe they change the color on the logo confirmed press these buttons at the bottom it has full RGB lighting and it can change the mode with those buttons that's actually pretty cool alright we have an OC touch breakout panel here that you might just use for a motherboard it's going to be compatible some of those e2 70 series motherboards of course and you just plug that in and connect it gives you a bunch of extra fan headers a bunch of voltage read points so you can use directly with a voltmeter as well as plus minus buttons so you can manually set your overclock for your CPU up or down usually these are set to different modes in the BIOS whether you want increments of like 0.1 or their point zero one or that kind of thing also power reset buttons and fun things what do these switches for South Korea jgp U and T G art you can turn off your South Bridge your eye GPU and your TGR I don't even I don't know what a TGR is but I'm sure somebody in the comments will point out what that is also it doesn't want to sit down nicely and then we also have this tiny little Nick it was last time you bought a network interface card for your to add on to your system well if you need 10 Gigabit Ethernet that might be the best reason for you if you do lots of transferring of large file sizes or you need really fast connectivity between your computers at home 10 Gigabit Ethernet has been much more popular in prevalence in the enterprise space but they're finally actually coming out with little tiny cards for 10 Gigabit Ethernet it's got a black PCB and a black cooler on there so it's actually gonna blend in if you're building a gaming system or something like that cool little accessory I hope they're not too terribly overpriced there are a ton of awesome systems that have been set up here to demonstrate the new motherboards z2 70 boards as well as some older series 100 series mini ITX boards that they have in some systems but some really cool things that they've integrated into these boards are lots of our GB LEDs and of course not everyone's into that I don't blame you if you're not but if you are you want as much customization as possible and the unique thing that they've done with all the gigabyte motherboards is they've made the RGB headers RGB W compatible that gives you a fourth connection point they're actually a 5 pin header on there so it is backwards compatible with the standard RGB headers or RGB LED strips but also gives the ability with that fifth item for that fifth connection hi Steve so you can add a white element or you can add UV so cable mod for example as well as a lot of other LED strip manufacturers already have LED strips that you can plug in that gives you that fourth flavor I guess so you can add UV or you can add white which is awesome because when you try to do white with RGB it always ends up having like a blue tone to it and it's just not the greatest so here's an example that they have set up with a Z 270x gaming seven and they've got cable mods strips that are going through here and it's also got this the sort of accent panel there at the back that's one of the other things that they showed us here at the press events was that they actually have different versions of that available so you can change them if you don't like the design and I actually got a special limited edition one that says CES 2017 on it that is only mine and no one else can have because it's a limited special edition it's mine I couldn't leave here but talking about this little device because Kyle and I already kind of teased it a little bit on the live show but this is called the gigabyte desktop PC for lack of apparently any other better name this is the gaming GT series though and basically what you have is a mostly vertically oriented bare-bones unit so you actually buy this without everything that you need but it has to som slots in there that you'll need to populate with memory and I believe also you need to add storage but other than that it's actually a very powerful gaming PC and a fairly small and svelte package it's got integrated cooling so all that's taken care of for you it's got a 6700 K processor in there the full desktop model on a mobile version and it's got a full size gtx 1070 which is also pretty cool now the unique thing is since it's a bare-bones of course you're gonna be able to open this up and get in there and swap stuff out but they're trying to make it a little bit more future ready for possibly maybe new graphics cards that maybe might come out in the future we don't know anything about those but it's got an integrated power supply but it also comes with this little brick here or this little brick is available and you can actually remove a little panel down here at the bottom and add that brick in there and that actually provides a little bit more power to the motherboard so it allows it to read rearrange the power configuration to provide more power for potentially a more power hungry graphics card than a gtx 1070 and i'll leave that up to you guys as speculation what that graphics card might be now for i/o you have a couple ports up front you also have more ports available on the bottom so you've got to go underneath there to get out those but it does have USB 3.1 gen2 type-c connectors down there it also has an active cooling system with these two sort of leaf-shaped items on the top so those will actually lift up automatically based on the temperature of the system inside so things get warm they lift up let some hot air out and we are just now getting an update on availability for this it's coming next month it will be available both in north america and south america so if you're looking for a pretty cool looking small system that's still a full-powered desktop gaming gaming PC VR ready - if I didn't already mentioned check it out this is the gigabyte desktop PC just most generic name I've ever heard but it's still it's still a cool cool product so everyone keep your eye out for it anyway that's all for my coverage from here at the gigabytes suite or area or whatever we're in and Caesars Palace from Las Vegas Nevada thank you guys so much for watching thank you again to my sponsors a gigabyte of course as well as Toshiba and deep cool and we'll see you guys very soon more coverage of CES 2017 like like right now or probably later today
