my coverage of CES 2018 from Las Vegas Nevada is brought to you by Cooler Master enter max ocz Toshiba and deep cool hey guys I'm over at MSI now this is not a suite this is not a booth it is at ballroom the MSI ballroom here at the Venetian and as you can see behind me they have an array of really really awesome boutique builds from their system integrator partners I'm gonna end this video with a little montage of all that stuff but first they have a new monitor that they're working on and they also have on table computer and also have a cool Z 370 motherboard that they got a design and innovation to work for so let's check it out all right let's start off with the design and Innovation Awards they did get one for the MSI Lightning GTX 10 atti which is a really nice graphics card and I'm not gonna talk about it because 1080i is old me let's talk about this right here though this is the Z 370 god-like gaming they have received a design Innovation Award for this ATX form factor for a Z 370 motherboard it's kind of interesting but it's got a killer extended killer networking switch and Wireless extender which I'm told is ten gigabit light I believe it's tiny gigabit if it's not ten gigabit then I'm wrong about that but more to the point though this is LGA 1151 motherboards of course supports Intel copy Lake processors for ddr4 slots they get their reinforced steel armor across the DIMM slots as well as all the PCI Express expansion we've got three counting three one two three m dot 2 slots going between the PCIe slots there as well and they have an 18 phase power delivery configuration going on up here at the top not only that but they have some heat sinks built in there that actually look to be quite beefy and actually have some slotting going on and that kind of thing to enable air to flow through to hopefully keep those VRMs nice and cool when you're doing a terrific lucky you got a four pin an eight pin supplemental CPU power connector and flipping around here on the top right you can see there's a set of controls specifically made for overclocking since this is a guide like motherboard so it's gonna have RGB lighting all of the good things that you would expect mystic light compatible of course and game loose which is basically what they're referring to that's a teen phase power delivery configuration s next up is this tiny little computer it's called the Trident 3 Arctic also a receiver of a design and Innovation Award tiny little computer here but they have packed a lot of stuff into it it's got an i7 8,700 processor it's got an Intel three-hitter series chipset motherboard which I presume is a custom design by MSI GTX 1078 gig is integrated in there 16 gigs of DDR for memory and m2 2280 slot with the 256 gig PCIe SSD in there as well as a one terabyte hard drive as well as Intel wireless AC 30 168 Wi-Fi 330 watt AC adapter for power silent storm cooling is what they're calling the cooling system integrated here and I like the front io on this it's got a few USB 3.0 ports as well as a type C port and then there is an HDMI out right on the front for some VR action it's also got a little bit of RGB lighting in the top right corner and then as you can probably tell and All Whites design and that's why it's called the Arctic version of the triad 3 moving over here to this monitor MSI has been busted into the monitor market and they've been trying to differentiate themselves with some designs that are well a little bit different and perhaps a little bit unique this is the optics MP g27 CQ the one we're looking at is a cute wqhd or 2560 by 1440 27 inch monitor 16 by 9 aspect ratio and it is a VA LED backlit curved panel with 144 Hertz refresh rates and a 1 millisecond response time and those are of course all very good stats for gaming so they've apparently designed a pretty solid monitor when it comes to the base specs but let's make it a little different they have this set of LEDs going across the bottom of the monitor these light up in rainbow fashion as you can possibly see right now there's actually eight individual LEDs in each of these five strips but you can also use it along with the SteelSeries software in order to actively engage those LED strips while you're playing a game such as csgo so for instance you can set up some a couple of those bars to indicate your health and a couple of the bars to indicate your hands your ammo and maybe the middle bar is going to indicate to get headshots and I'll count up when you get headshots then you can play the game and right there below the screen in a area that's still fairly accessible to your eyeballs you can see what's going on with some of your stats in the game so that's somewhat useful I think another cool feature is that it's actually got a USB connection to your computer in order to control those LEDs but there's also an on-screen display utility that you can access from within windows and you can use that to do stuff with the monitor that you would normally have to use the monitor controls in order to do such as brightness and that kind of thing you can also use this to set up profiles associate them with games and that makes it a lot of use here to get your monitor set up and configured when you want to play it specific game with a specific configuration MSI has also put some bling on the back of this monitor and depending on where your monitor is this may or may not be useful to you but it's got a pretty cool effect you can also control this with the software for the LEDs on it and that's pretty cool and then for controls for the monitor they've actually integrated a little thumb knob or a little a little four-way a jog dial thing right there and so you can reach around behind the back to use that to control it I am on the fence about that implementation but it is there and that's how you would access stuff okay but if you don't like that or it's not your thing then you can go ahead and use the controls from within Windows and just connect up that USB connection for that Oh finally here we have Edsel Edsel is he's very great cinematographer and I like this thing he has going to keep his glasses on it's very it's very practical very functional you know you could probably you could keep money in that just to put the money into the strap also holding his hat on and also greatly improves the cinematography skills as you can probably see that oh my gosh Oh oh yeah that's what we're doing were talking about products here see we're trying to film this Mont this laptop and lady just came up and picked it up and causes problems anyway this is a GE 63 raid or RGB edition very similar design to the G 63 as they've had in the past it's got some new features though some macro options that you can set up with the keys to actually integrate with the games you're playing and that kind of thing I don't go into too much of detail as far as how that works but then we'll at least show you the design because it's pretty cool looking and they've added these RGB strips along the back and what they said they wanted people to do with this is like if you're gonna be gaming and streaming from your laptop then point your camera at yourself while you're gaming on the laptop and then your people watching the stream can see these LED lights on the back of the laptop I again I'm not sure if that's gonna be a real a practical thing or not it seems a little odd to me but effectively you can do use the same function for the monitor I just showed you and set it up with these LEDs and basically do the same thing and it's also still controllable by that SteelSeries software so you know either it's gonna make your laptop look pretty or maybe your Lanier's when you're streaming people can watch and have fun and there it is guys my quick tour of the msi ballroom area here at the Venetian and as promised I've made my way back over to here where they have all the system integrator systems and starting down there with origin let's take a look at these epic builds with origin side ax cyber power high power but I didn't get footage of that one so who cares about that there's a main gear system but I did a video on main gears build so check out the main gear video gonna see more of those we also have a computer upgrade King CLX digital storm and exotic PC so guys enjoy this montage hit the thumbs up button if you do and of course stay tuned for more coverage from CES 2018 here in Las Vegas Nevada coming very soon hit the subscribe button there's that again I add now he went away he's very shy it's very shy anyway a big final thank you to my sponsors of course enter max OCC to shave a deep pool and coolermaster and we'll see you guys in the next video
