Gadgetory

ladies and gentlemen boys and girls welcome to Taipei Taiwan and my free Computex video copy text hasn't started yet it starts tomorrow on Tuesday right now it's Monday and I had an idea why don't I hit up one of the vendors that I know and see if I could maybe get in early maybe give you guys a sneak peek at what Computex has in store and you know what gigabyte said okay and they're always located right here in Taipei 101 so I'm going to wander in there see what they have going on and I will share that with you guys that's kind of how this works so let's go I have made my way inside and of course I think I might always has excellent digs here at Taipei 101 everything is still getting set up people are cleaning there's there's a bunch of vacuums going and stuff but I'm excited to be one of the first people to get in here to check out these xc-99 boards cause obviously if you guys weren't already where xc-99 that's what it's all about for this week for gigabyte at least for now we're on that later but let's go after this 4x 290x 299 UD for the ug series ultra durable is the mainstay from gigabyte stable of motherboards and as you can see this one is pretty much outfitted with all the basics that you would want an X to ninety-nine board you've got all eight bins every flaw channel memory to support your Intel 4x series processors and it's got an ads media 331 42 additional USB 3.1 gen2 chip on there with all the PCIe lanes that are available on the core X series of processors from Intel there is just a ton of peripheral connectivity and really a high speed stuff that you can connect up here so additional USB 3.1 is something that you're going to be forming a lot here's a quick look at the i/o on the back but beyond that you're also going to be seeing tons of connectivity for stuff like SSDs nvme and so we're mostly seeing MDOT to support here for from gigabyte but this board actually provides you with two one here right above the main PCI Express slot and then one right here in below it beyond that you've got standard PCI Express layout of course there's going to be some different configuration since with these boards depending on which CPU slot in there so I'm not going to delve into that right now it's a little bit too complex to sort of explain away in a single video but this is going to be sort of we'll call this a starting out point from the gigabyte if you want a solid board one that is going to work for you for a long time and not essentially super blingy they either you can have a little bit of LED lighting here along the edge but none of the RGB stuff that we're going to be showing you in just a minute with the higher-end boards but tons of high-end features RGB fusion supports because you do have an RGB W header on there if you want to add some strips you got smart fans five features so you can do a fan stop mode for your fans as well as hybrid fan headers that can support PWM or voltage control here are the fancy Horus branded boards I'm going to be talking about four of these these are these 270 so don't worry about those we got the ultra gaming right here we got the gaming three the gaming five in the gaming seven if you're wondering how these all stack up it's probably to be something like the gaming 3 then that ug 4 bar boards that I just showed you then the ultra then a gaming 5 and then the gaming 7 well start with the gaming 3 right over here if you want a norris board that has gaming in the name which means it's meant for gaming you can use it for other stuff too that's okay but you want some RGB s on there you also want a little bit of additional expandability you're still going to have to m dot to slothfulness pretty much in the same position that you saw on the UD force so you're going to get some of the additional features that gigabyte offers such as steel-reinforced n+ along here a couple of cerium for students plus for a single or dual card configuration and then you also have pretty standard-issue power delivery on this main 24 pin and a single 8 pin but you're going to have of course all a DIMM slots for up to 128 gigs of memory and then of course you got a couple LEDs not a ton hot overkill but a bit of an access lighting on the again these two dim plus I'm sorry these PCIe slots as well as our course logo on the chipset damnit moving onto the X $2.99 or ultra gaming right here and this seems to me to become a nice midpoint it's not going to be super towards the high end like the gaming 5 in the gaming 7 would be but you still get tons of awesome features so you're going to get a an additional m dot 2 slot you have the 2 again in the same positions above and below the graphics card they've added an additional one down here it's actually kind of part of the chipset this one actually includes a cooler on there as well it is a fairly substantial heatsink not just a steel piece of metal or something like that and there is some actual thermal material on the back there or like a thermal pad to make sure that you're going to get some heat dissipation from your SSD if you're putting a high-end nvme SSD in there again you have an as media 3142 USB 3.1 gen2 controller to give you additional connectivity for USB including both type a and type C ports that are over here on the rear i/o and if you're looking at the LEDs on this board and you notice that they look pretty significantly different from some of the LED implementations we've seen from gigabyte in the past that is because they're digital they've gone with digital LED and that allows them to actually individually control them so a couple of the other boards you can see some of the effects I'll show you in just a second but that will also let you control digital LED and RGB W scripts so you have a header RGB W header at the bottom of the board right here and then the next board up that we're going to show you in the spec also has a digital RGB LED header which is pretty cool as well bit of beefed up power delivery at the top I would assume just because we got dual eight pin CPU supplemental power connectors there is another W RGB header up here at the top as well and then this one is obviously decked out with a lot more LEDs you have an accent along I owe you have they did sort of end they put LEDs kind of an end of the PJ each box here soon as they kind of shoot across the side they got an either side it gives a much smoother look I feel like for those LEDs in particular then you have the LEDs running up and down in between the dim clock and of course the accent on the on the chipset let's talk about the Horus gaming seven I think I called this the Auris gaming five a second ago it's the seventh sorry about that we got seven and a nine coming up next so for these here you're going to get more and getting more more stuff again 3m twos on this one one two and three you get the heatsink at the bottom one there again that integrates very nicely with that chipset heatsink on the gaming seven you do get support for 3-way configurations for graphics cards 3-way SLI or 3-way crossfire again you get the smart fan features as well as the additional connector down here at the bottom so you can add W RGB LEDs or you have that digital header so you can actually add digital LED strips or they're talking about the possibility of like a digital camera so you can add on there you can actually program in to do logos or that kind of thing so I'm kind of excited and curious to see how that might work but what I really like the C's board is just with digital LEDs have sort of a difference in more distinct look and I think it looks quite a bit cleaner we've seen on the previous Horus boards from the prior generation and then this one's kind of go a little haywire right now but you can see sort of how you might be able to do some programming with the digital LEDs for this trip that goes from the bottom to the top view or the top from the bottom depending on before you look at it finally here's the X 299 or gaming nine this one has additional as media 31:42 USB 3.1 gen2 with frets and rear USB type-c so that means that this board on the gaming nine the gaming seven has this as well has that USB 3.1 front panel header so if your case just compatible with it some cases are a bit being access them and you should see more adoption that header in the future you can get yourself panel USB and it's just a way better connector types in the old-school USB 3.0 one as well that was all big and bulky and they've also had a killer doubleshot nic to this as well as intel gigabit ethernet lan and then of course at the RGB fusion pretty much similar layouts as far as RGB LEDs to the gaming seven over here I'm going to take this one off the shelf so we have an integrated IO shield right there so you will never again forget to install your i/o shield of course we have an inclusion of a USP I plead to the point one right there this has a BIOS feature you can plot you can update the BIOS without needing a CPU or memory plugged in awesome awesome feature can rescue you in the case of a on BIOS update just like that can also give any greater des you tell anything Wi-Fi back here and then a pretty cool feature on the back of this board you have and some armor plating you have the back plate which also looks pretty cool got the fourth logo on there and this is great if you have a completely tempered glass case that's my opinion on these or if you're building your systems like on a table it's nice just to be able to set the board down and not worry about potentially damaging any resemblence components on the back so a good job gigabyte with these forest x 299 boards they also have a wood station board let's take let's take a look at that so guys I'm going to be honest I really don't know too much about what Intel has in store for their xeon lineup that's going to slot into LGA 22 2016 6 motherboards but gigabyte is ready for it with the GAC 422 WS this workstation board that they have right here so this is the V 422 chipset base it is not going to support the X the core x-series of CPU storm Intel so this is going to require a V on chip but that doesn't mean it's sure to support ECC memory and if you want like a no-nonsense board without any LEDs on it or anything like that it seems like it's going to be the board for you ehe X form factor tons and tons of connectivity that's going to have support for 4-way GPU configurations on a workstation that's probably going to be more suited to something like a Tesla or Quadro setup or something like that for doing GPU rendering but absolutely massive amounts of connectivity and horsepower you have able to connect to that and again I have no idea of any of the actual CPUs earnest volunteer so as far as core counts PCIe lane counts or anything like that if anybody gets but I did want to give you guys a quick look at the story because especially to her in IT space or like doing enterprise stuff having an actual really sexy looking workstation board this is all about horsepower and given step them at the gas 80 gigabyte wanted me to check out this little device apparently has one at a Computex design and innovation award this is the gigabyte bricks VR which you might have seen us cover sort of briefly before they've shown us sort of a tall version of the bricks like this in the past but this one is a finished product that's a gtx 1060 inside as well as an i7 7700 HQ it can also support a couple m dot two devices in there for storage so that's pretty cool that imagine you could use this as a normal computer not just for VR but they I imagine once the show gets underway that again they're still doing a bunch of setup here we'll have a VR demo going on with this they have it currently connected to an oculus rift and if you apparently want to play VR but you don't have much space then you can go for the brics VR the the product name is B&I 7 HD 6 - 1060 great for those of you very curious alright guys I think I'm running at a time that giving me dirty looks because they have not finished everything they need to finish and I have to give them time but I really quickly wanted to show you guys some of these graphics cards or its branded gigabyte graphics cards that's an Rx 570 right there this is an rx 580 and the XP r 8g from also from there or series and then we also have a gtx 980ti extreme gaming edition i just did a review on the non extreme version of this card did a very good job here in the back we've also got a 1050 TI a 1060 mini and the geforce gtx 1078 g but that's the blower style fan version keep an eye on this 1060 right here and how big it is because there's a 1070 version of that that i'm going to show you just a second worse also the gaming chassis which I was surprised I didn't know that's something that they were delving into this is AC 300w gaming chassis which includes Oris and rs cooler and a norris graphics card and apparently you can get Oris everything these days I think there's I don't even know if those power supplies or their power supplies there isn't there's a Norris power supply being told so make an entire ORS computer I guess is a I'm kind of say okay off okay this is the Auris gtx 1070 gaming box look how tiny it is basically you get a gtx 1070 it comes pre-installed you get this tiny little box which includes the power and then it is connected via thunderbolts in the back so all you need is a thunderbolt compatible computer and you can take something like a laptop connect this up externally and you can game on your laptop with an external graphics card now these have been around of course before we've seen stuff like the Razer core and other variants of that but I certainly have never seen one that's quite this tiny and also quite this strangely lit but there it is that is the Auris gtx 1070 gaming box so guys that is all the time I have for now here at the gigabyte offices at Taipei 101 of course I have my whole week of Computex coverage ahead of me so I'd like to say a huge thank you to gigabyte for helping to sponsor this video for me to come out early and give you guys a sneak peek of what they have in store for Computex they have more stuff that's still coming so I didn't even get the chance to see it also I know Kyle's going to be coming by here so check out his channel he's are going to be doing Computex coverage all week as well and I imagine I might even stop back by here later in the week because they told me there might be some more stuff in the works that they can't talk about yet but more on that in the future hit the thumbs up button if you enjoyed this video stay tuned to my channel subscribe if you want to see more country text coverage from here in Taipei Taiwan thanks again for watching we'll see you next time
