2018-03-08
today's gonna be a really awesome day or tonight depending on where you live in the world because I will stop there with that word world because this is a worldwide giveaway that we've got going on here so I'm teaming up with three other tech tubers that's level one tax tech deals and hardware unboxed and we're giving away two whole systems and also some other goodies as well I know hardware and box is going to be giving away a kit of ddr4 memory to to complement this giveaway so there's lots of prizes up for grabs here and my system I'm gonna be building that here today it's a 2400 G Mini ITX system that is literally the size of my hand in terms of how big it is it's a really small system someone's gonna love it for a home theater PC or a mobile gaming system or if you're at university and you need something to get you through the break then this PC will definitely do it for you and I'm gonna be building that thing and shooting it here today so let's get on with it so here's the parts all here laid out on the table we're gonna be doing this build in the in wind chop and I absolutely love this case now I've already built in this case before and that's why I love it so much it's such a portable PC that's great if you're a video editor for example or if you want something that can just play games and watch movies on the mobile or if you want a home theater PC now with the recent release of the 2,400 G we had an APU that really kicked the pants out of the Intel 8400 this thing can actually play games at 1080p low settings that's what I found we've also got in here a jewel kit of 16 gigabytes of memory so two eight sticks gonna be whacking that on the motherboard here the X 370 gaming ITX from asrock and then we've got an x PG SSD here from a data as well 512 gigabytes that's going to be going in the system too but for the cooler we're changing things up and this is a big thanks to PC case gear for sending this out they actually hooked us up the Rison 2500 G I had to pay for that because I busted my previous 2400 G with the broken D lid but they sent us out this is complementary kit to really help with the giveaway - and this cooler should hopefully fit in this case because when I previously did the Mini ITX build the side panel was bulging out a bit so hopefully this will fix that with that aside what we're gonna do first is update the BIOS on this and then we can put the Rison apu in and complete the build so we just finished building this thing we've installed Windows optimize that as well got all the latest updates and that cooler just fit in the in wind Chopin who just cleared it so if you guys want to put the cryo rig I think it's the c7 if you guys want to put that with the 2400 G in the Chopin it will fit so it's running really well I managed to overclock everything you can see the benchmark here we've just finished the UniGene Heaven benchmark we've managed to get about 10% performance gain in actual numbers so the CPU we got up to 3.8 gigahertz and the graphics we got that up to 1.5 gigahertz now I did manage to get it up to 1.6 gigahertz however the problem was the system actually just thermal tripped out it just shut off while it was benchmarking so was up and running at 1.6 but the problem is is the little cooler I think just couldn't handle the overclocks on the CPU and the GPU and it's understandable it's in like a little mini ITX case there's not a whole lot of ventilation in there the power supply is not the best motherboard vrm on on mini ITX Verizon motherboard isn't the best as well especially compared to like a Taichi or something so whole combo is we've got a decent overclock here we're going to test it out now see how well it plays in games on pubsey and dota 2 so let's take a look so after we overclocked it it did play pub G at about 50 FPS on the desert map at 1080p on very low settings I did have to drop the screen scale or the screen resolution down to 70% so somewhere between 720p and 1080p and at these levels was actually pretty smooth and I could enjoy this game of pub G I even got a couple of frags and when we move over to dota 2 it was 60 FPS on high settings so that was even better this was after the overclock the one thing with dota 2 after about 30 minutes of playing it did crash and it did have to restart so the overclocks do need a little bit more work but the game of pub G was running really smooth for a very long time I got into like the top 15 I think it was or something like that so it was a long match on pop G and surprising that it ran better in pub G than it did in dota 2 because dota 2 doesn't utilize as much CPU as pop G does that games tends to use both CPU and GPU pretty heavily so before I do ship this off I will tune the overclocks a little bit more for whoever wins this give away PC though links are in the description below if you want to put together something like this and you can't wait for the giveaway to finish so with this giveaway all you have to do to enter it's completely free no strings attached all's you have to do is click the link in the description below big thank you to you guys for being subscribed and watching the content and enjoying it as always and a big thank you to tech deals hardware unbox and also level 1 text for coming on board with this and I look forward to announcing a winner and showing you guys on Twitter who actually won the giveaway that'll be in a couple of weeks so stay tuned for that and also if you have anything you want to see then be sure to drop a comment the comment section below and don't forget to hit that like button and I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon though also one thing before I get on out here with this motherboard the Z 370 has rock it didn't have any BIOS settings to overclock the GPU the MSI one that I got sent in with the review kit you could actually overclock the GPU portion of the APU via the BIOS so I would like to see asrock implement that because I do prefer overclocking in the BIOS as opposed to overclocking in Windows via the rise of master software nothing against the software it's just I like setting those settings fine-tuning them and then saving them so you them every time you bid up the PC you have to rely on some soft way anyway catch one another take video very soon peace out for now bye
