so it's pretty late in the afternoon and I have to catch a flight from Japan to the Gold Coast in Australia very soon in a couple of hours actually and before I do that I might have a quick shave because I look like a bum and if you look like a bum you get pulled over by customs generals so while I'm all packed up and ready to go and we have there a bag that's full of power supplies and then we've got the mini ITX rig this I'm gonna carry them both on as carry-on luggage and then over here we've got a suitcase just packed full of used hardware I've also even fitted in a monitor in there sue so my friend he didn't want a 24 inch monitor that I gave him last year with a monitor stand for whatever reason I've got no idea never got the golf clubs and that is pretty much stacked out at like 40 point 8 kilograms or something because you're allowed like 800 grams over the 40 kilogram limit so hopefully we get that through with no problems and I've only got $10 left in my wallet - damn so I just got back in and I got through customs eh okay and right behind me here we have the giveaway PC this is the first of the stuff that is rocked up big THANK YOU to Coolermaster and also team group as well and anyway we have to get this build done right now because hardware unboxed and also science studio are waiting on me to upload the video for this so I'm gonna get on to building this thing right now doing all the b-roll and making this thing look pretty so here's a giveaway PC behind me it is now complete however it's the next day after I did this video which I'll put in the link in the description below so make sure you get in with a chance to win this thing completely free I just had to go crash out I was so tired slept like 10 hours and now we're back into it so let's take a look at what's on the bench top so here these guys here's the mess that awaits me I've actually got to zoom out a little bit more so I've got a a heap of new parts that came in we'll talk about those a little bit later but this is all the used parts that I picked up in Japan I was surprised I even got all this luggage back I mean I crammed my clothes into a little carry-on bag and also with a heap of power supplies because they're really heavy and then I got 40 kilos of luggage in my suitcase so these parts were really cheap I mean these power supplies $10 each and they work really well especially the FSP ones here they're extremely good 80 plus silver and now even if they've been run for a long time the good thing is is that usually most of the time I'm not powering these a 500 watt I'll be powering them to say 400 even 300 watt and with that they'll work completely fine for another few years to come at worst but now moving on to the main prize here we have the x58 lineup of motherboards easily my favorite architecture of all time mainly because this architecture is still relevant in 2017 now these boards I picked these up for around about 70 us a pop each and at that price they're extremely good value for money now they usually go for around about a hundred and fifty dollars or anything where up to two hundred dollars if you want to get one that's like brand-new condition though the one thing that makes this CPU line up or this architecture of the LGA 1366 lineup so good is that it was released back in 2008 that's right 2008 so that's like nine years ago pretty much and it's still relevant to this day however the reason why this lineup of motherboard the LGA 1366 lineup is so good to this date is because of the CPU prices you can go out and get an ex 5650 which is a six core 12 threaded Xeon for around about $20 off Aliexpress or on ebay they're also really cheap there there's the X 5660 which runs a little bit more and has a higher multiplier which I do recommend for overclocking and now you can get these CPUs to 4.2 gigahertz and you can get them out to achieve around a 1000 Cinebench score so that's like really close to the 7700 K and another thing about this architecture is as well it uses the ring bus architecture ring from Intel I believe it was the first implementation on this lineup of motherboard back in 2008 and it's still relevant to this day again because the 7700 K uses the ring bus architecture - even though it's been much improved since this nalem lineup how with some other really cool features about this motherboard it's also got USB 3 onboard I believe this is an NEC controller so the speeds are actually really good you've got again a clear CMOS button on the back and you've got solder three however the side of three was from Marvel and it wasn't implemented properly into these boards so I believe they only run at half speed see if you do get a motherboard like this you're probably better off running it off the Intel SATA 2 ports or of course linking up an nvme SSD off the PCI Express Lanes now speaking of PCI Express Lanes on this motherboard they come with 36 lanes of PCI Express 2.0 so that's probably the one graph that I have with this architecture is it's got PCI 2.0 but that's still plenty enough for today's graphics cards and the final thing to talk about with the x58 lineup and why I love it is the triple channel memory so your Rison and cabi Lake architectures nowadays have dual channel memory though they have ddr4 memory which has much higher speeds than the x58 lineup which uses ddr3 memory however since it is triple channel it will be at a multiplier of 1.5 so if you get the ddr3 memory times by 1.5 those speeds that's effectively how fast this memory would run in comparison to ddr4 memory roughly it's not exactly the same but anyway so in total I managed to pick up 6 x58 motherboards and also there was that one that I pulled out of the $30.00 PC this is a H 55 from asrock it has an i3 550 in it but I believe something like this you know you can put in a I 5 750 a $10 power supply at ix 670 and of course that hard drive we picked up for 15 bucks and you've now got a really kick-ass gaming PC for like literally it's just over a hundred us so I look forward to bringing that build to the channel I think I just made a build put a bill together except for the case so stay tuned for that one we've got here another H fifty-five motherboard now this one is actually going to be a continuation of a story then I'm gonna talk about in another upcoming video it's got to do with power supplies because my friend he bought this PC off me and isn't the motherboard from it and it actually didn't work properly when he got it and I was really confused I was like dude you know I'd test these pcs before I sell them and I sold him this one in Japan and it wasn't working for him at his house now actually in hindsight wasn't the computer at all it was actually got to do with this house and the power so we'll talk about that in a future video but this motherboard is now back home I'm using it and it's going to be awesome and the last model we picked up here was the $10 z68 motherboard however it does have two bent pins and unfortunately I can't test it at the moment because I don't have a CPU line up with native z68 support I do have that 3770k which I picked up for $100 which was an absolute bargain but I believe I'll have to update the BIOS before I can get this to work because in Japan generally people never update their biases at all so I'm banking on the fact that it hasn't upgraded the boss so I'm gonna be doing that later and seeing if I can fix it but onto some other weird pickups I managed to pick up this it's a spawn action figure now I usually never pick up figures I'm not really into the whole figure collecting thing but I saw this for five dollars and I absolutely love the original spawn movie and this figure looks pretty badass so I was like okay I'm gonna give this a go and I'm gonna have a little decoration this is the spawn action figured I don't know does anyone even remember that movie and did anyone like it I think it was generally negatively received in the press but when I went to see it at the movies I actually enjoyed it so there's hence the action figure and now we also got some local Japanese razor blades these came in around fifteen dollars and you get nine cartridges and I've actually had a shave with these in the past they're amazing they compete with the Gillette's which cost X amount more so perhaps performance even when you're having a shave now another used part to come back in I didn't pay anything for this actually gave this to my friend when I left Japan was this 24 inch a Samana now it still works perfectly fine at CCFL backlit however he didn't want it I was like dude like what's going on you don't want a free 24 inch 1080p monitor and you've also got the exact same one at your house now we bought these back in like 2009 I believe at the same store so we both had the same monitor and I was like dude you can have a dual monitor setup and it'll be awesome and it was like no I did I don't want it I was like okay so I fit and managed to fit this in the suitcase and also he didn't want the monitor stand that I left behind for him so I was like no I'll take the both of them back to Oz managed to get them in the suitcase err okay and you know something like this is like worth like $40 it's an extendable model now some of the last pickups we got here was these audio interfaces that were going for like 60 us a pop as you can see here they've got compression onboard they're absolutely amazing for voice work so I bought two of them I'm gonna be sending one to Steve from hardware unboxed so he can have one as well if we're doing live streams for you guys and also a PS Vita as well which I picked up for like $65 and it came included with the memory card so I will be hacking this or I will be trying to get some retro games and make it play movies for me which I look forward to doing because I need something when I travel to sort of waste time but anyway guys let's clean up all this mess so we can take a look at some of the new parts that also came in while I was gone and also before we move on to the new parts Nathan a subscriber sent in aw 3565 which is a six core 12 threaded Xeon now this differs from the ex 5660 in that it's only got a qpi score of one so to actually work on practically every x58 motherboard if I remember correctly and then another subscriber sent in a motherboard so thank you very much Kristen from sunny Boston he sent over a motherboard which he no longer needed I believe it doesn't work anymore but it also comes with 4 gigabytes of RAM and a CPU so at worst I could definitely use some of the parts off that and then another thing you guys have been complaining about is that whenever I boot up a computer I only use like a USB stick or a lately I've been using this like freaking knife that I found lying around to open letters however people like do just rip out power buttons from PCs so in Japan I actually found some old PC cases around my friend's house and I've ripped out all the power buttons off them so I am going to be using these to now boot up those computers when I test them so here guys here's some of the new parts that I got sent as well there's also Rison 3 which I'm yet to review I'll be reviewing that very shortly after I get through some of this stuff but see sonic were nice enough to send out their 751 Gold power supply so this looks like it will be one of those power suppliers of course that's just king of the hill fully modular gold rated only using it on a build on the channel very shortly so stay tuned for that and then we've got here the master keys master light keyboard and mouse set now one thing about it is I tried this at Computex it's a sort of like membrane tactile feed so it's kind of like an so they call it mem chemical so mechanical and membrane hybrids so this comes with a mouse as well now when I did try these I did like them so I'm gonna properly review them and stack them up against some other keyboards but I believe they will have some hard competition of course with those Aliexpress keyboards especially that I blew the one that I reviewed recently on the channel that was a pretty good deal for like 25 bucks so this thing's gonna have a hard time but if it does work out especially with the input a full RGB then it could be definitely an option for people looking for a decent keyboard at a decent price now here we go to GC X 1080 from MSI this is the armored edition I actually bought this as a replacement in my desktop because I had put all my graphics cards to mining so this one I got this for 670 Australian dollars it's a freaking bargain when the eBay sales were happening so I had to pull the trigger on this I just think it was just such a good deal so this is going in my main rig now I'm gonna be using a 1080 instead of a 1080i because that's mining Z cache and yeah this is the one I'm gonna be using for editing videos and gaming because anything over I found like even like a ten sixty or even like a 1050 Ti is enough for what I do in Adobe Premiere Pro I don't really need anything more in terms of CUDA performance so this is even overkill for what I do now we go to set a zyo Mimi I think I pronounced that right it's a smartphone I got this all banggood well actually they sent it out because they wanted a shout-out for their website in exchange for the phone and I was like I was really curious to try out this phone because I if you guys don't know I use Huawei at the moment and I absolutely love what Huawei are about this one if it can compete with the Huawei and come in at a better price then it could definitely be a contender in terms of people who are looking for value for money when they buy a smartphone so this one also has I believe dual lens on it which is something that I look for because you can get that bokeh effect which is great for Instagram photos off your smart phone straight away so looking forward to comparing that to the highway phone it won't be a conventional smart review because I really don't know what I'm doing with smart phones but I will compare it for what I need it for and see if it checks out so here's the last piece of the puzzle this is the BitFenix nova TG with the TG standing for tempered glass absolutely love in this case I saw this at Computex we did a video on it I'm gonna be doing a build on this thing now I'm just not exactly sure on the release dates and the prices and all that stuff as I just got back so I gotta check the dates on that it's a very Pacific case that flew all the way over this Pacific Ocean but on a more serious note I was thinking this case with those parts that I showed before that I was going to do with GTX 670 and really showcase a potato plus 50 so we guys hope you enjoyed today's massive unboxing and look at all the products there was a lot of stuff that I just couldn't ignore those deals in Japan they're just too good to pass up especially there's x58 motherboards and also big thank you to the patron contributors over the last year I've now got enough money to upgrade my camera gear and make some other upgrades to the channel so I'll be doing that very shortly thank you guys so much and also be doing the monthly live with Steve from hardware unbox very soon so stay tuned for that and I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon with probably a gtx 1050 TI vs RX 560 video which was on the backlog and also the Rison 3 1200 and 1300 x i'll be comparing that against the g 45 60 and also probably the 1400 where it kind of sits in between but guys love you all i'll catch another tech video very soon peace out for now bye so this was one thing that really devastated me I just got back and my ghetto houses guys these headphones that I built a long time ago I absolutely love them they're now broken and my brother reckons he dropped them and I was like no way you know you don't drop a pair of headphones and boss them like that and then I started looking statistically and this is what was going on there's another pair of Fidelio el ones I'm guessing the same thing accidentally dropped them or ran over them with a chair another pair of Fidelio el one's broken so I now have three high-end or at least medium and headphones busted because these are HD 9 v v 9 5s they're actually really good headphones the old ones are my favorite headphones for end-user listening I don't use them for editing but these my brothers busted all three of them now and said that they're just been weak and it's like no way I've been using headphones for twice as long as he has these are V mode of headphones and these are arguably a lot weaker than those headphones and they haven't broken at all like I've been using these for editing and heavily using these and they're still working at rip and even the skin has come off the top and the bottom of them and they're still working so statistically speaking my brother has been raging I think and he has been busting my headphones up and that's what dad man reckons as well he reckons he caught him smashing the headphones so you saw him busting my headphones I saw him and I heard him
