special thanks to our sponsors for sending us to Computex 2019 what's going on everyone you're here in the Corsair suite at the Grand Hyatt in Taipei and we've got a lot to show you guys regarding the hydro X series which is their new lineup a full lineup of custom PC cooling hardware this is uh is gonna be a mouthful but you guys are gonna be really impressed I think so let's go ahead and show off some of the stuff that they have on this first wall here and this is pretty much every product that they offer I don't think they've missed anything maybe a few different SKUs but design wise this is this is what they have and and they stress the importance of keeping the SKUs minimal they don't want to have you know thousands of different SKUs up front they want this to be very straightforward especially for a new builder so they actually have a configurator website we'll show you some clips of that right now and it is very simple to navigate it'll show you exactly what your system will look like you can pick you know your motherboard and CPU platform all of that good stuff and it'll basically give you a render of what it'll look like especially if you're choosing a corsair case to build in so this is one of the cpu blocks call the XC seven and it is a beautiful art to be block it does have a plastic shroud on the outside it's black and you can see it's got the fins and a nylon you know i don't want to call it glass but it's a transparent nylon right on top and this nylon use is important so they've really tested this stuff we actually kind of hinted some of these products earlier last year and the year before that when this you know project was kind of starting to develop and they they ran into a lot of issues testing many different coolants and you guys know that coolants are super finicky they have a lot of coolants will react with a lot of different components and that's what you don't want you don't want that corrosion you don't want that weird kind of gunk build up especially in your cpu blocks and so they went through thick and thin to try to find a material that wouldn't crack under pressure for one and that's why they've used this transparent nylon it's very resistant to those kinds of forces whereas an acrylic would split and then start to crack because it's got a low tensile strength nylon is very malleable in that sense it's you can kind of you know deform it and it can stand a lot more pressure and so that's why they've used this here it's actually a lot more durable very impressive from corsair a coarser said they're go was to offer pretty much everything again you would need in your first custom loop builder if you've know us a long time you could still go with course their components and I'm actually really impressed that built way about a dozen or so hard-line builds and these components really do follow suit with what I'd expect quality wise from Corsair but also to kind of blend them with the rest of the industry and in some ways exceed those expectations so we've got radiators here these are copper and brass rads so no aluminum that's a good thing they even offered their own fittings these have been created in conjunction with bits power so if you're familiar with its power fittings these are very nice fittings here I have experience with these and they actually remove the logos so in production they told bits power yeah we don't want any logos bits power said what you don't want any need to be sure you don't even want your logo and of course they said nope we're confident they'll look really good and just that kind of a bold look there and that's what they did so you got these nickel ones you've also got black ones you've got some white ones and then coolants they offer I believe four or five different colors right now all of these coolants are created by Corsair in conjunction with Mayhem's that's how they get some of these different colors here you guys I'm sure have heard of Mayhem's and they have a very solid reputation in this space and then throwing you a little higher up Kyle we've got some of their graphics card of water blocks these are beautiful this one is actually a Strix block and you can see that to cool the inductors and other things over on the side because they're pretty beefy on on that card in particular they've actually created like a separate bridge for that fluid to reach over every one of these blocks has a built in flow meter so you can see the fluid moving especially when you're talking about transparent fluid this is a beautiful block also a design feature of theirs is that they don't have any screws with the heads on this side of the block so if you want to turn this block sideways or vertically like they've done here you're not gonna see any screw heads and to show off all of these sweet components everything in here again Corsair when it comes to the custom cooling so again they've offered pretty much everything you'll need for your first custom loop this is a soft tube Bend we've got two I believe these are Vega 56 graphics cards and they're dedicated blocks and then I can see the subtle course their branding looking very nice I like the RGB its subdued it it's enough what I really like is the CPU block with that kind of RGB underglow so it'll light up the perimeter of the block on the motherboard itself looking mighty fine this by the way is an x5 70 build so you'll see builds like this very soon around July August I'm sure and a lot of different tech tuber channels but this build is really nice I like the color scheme and again just to show you what all these components look like when they are blended together also a nice little Easter Egg here what does this look like to you guys have you shown from the top Kyle from the top down what does that look like to you that looks like Corsair Dom Platts ddr4 doesn't it and so they've actually taken the exact same design cue they've made this the exact same way this kind of brushed metal and they've included that for the bridge mounts for each of these graphics card water blocks so very subtle things that they've done to really set these off distinguish their brand from other competitors and the prices are actually fairly competitive you get back plates included with their graphics card water blocks something you won't find from from other companies out there and you get like mounting hardware when you buy the reservoir pump combo you get all the included sensors things you'd expect when you're paying this much for an expensive custom cool build Corsair has honestly done a great job here and to top things off they're going to send us a hydro x kit so we can build our own custom loop and yeah so this will be really exciting my first time actually getting to build with Corsair custom cooling components it just sounds so weird but you know they make premium products and it just feels like they told me that they didn't like the fact that they had to use other companies custom cooling components for their builds and so they said what we can do that we'll do it ourselves so they they've done a great job so far and I can't wait to build stay tuned for that video and more coverage here at Computex 2010 you guys have been awesome thanks for watching and thanks for learning with us
