Steiger Dynamics LEET Liquid Cooled HTPC Demo

2013-01-13
hey my name is Martin I'm a CTO at Steiger dynamics we are freshly launched system builder based out of Los Angeles and today I would like to introduce you our very new line of HTTP C's which is actually the most powerful and world's first liquid-cooled ATT pc on the market' especially made for or high-end living room gaming so let's just quickly go over here and I have a look at the hardware so this is our full aluminum hand brushed custom-made case it's a it's a one-piece shell of extremely high high quality so we believe we have the the best case on the market when it comes to quality and it has like a 0.2 inches wall thickness which is which is unmatched featuring a 7-inch Samsung front panel showing our our own monitor app we can here you see the screen performance green for CPU RAM and and GPU low levels temperatures and so on when we can have a look inside we have our our custom LED lighting so you can see a little bit more can switch it on right here and yeah basically inside it's it's top-notch high-end I inspect system can start here with with the storage drives it's right there this is a for Western Digital red start Dr which we picked because of their dealer support continuous operation ability and yeah basically you can use it as as a home server as an ass our system is replacing these systems completely right here's the the see sonic 1000 Platinum power supply one of the most efficient and unstable power supplies on the market let's chat attached that is our custom cabling right here single sleeved voice quality and maintainer made two to fit justice precisely then right here you see our our radiators of our custom liquid cooling solution it's actually custom custom-made radiators fitting our our case made by Swift tech for us so we developed a whole liquid cooling solution with these guys when the worst we do really well we can fit up to an Quad SLI GTX 690 setup so put two six nights in there with a six core or a four core and still gonna be it's gonna be cool enough and right down here you'll have our our quad seat on what general cable TV card assume what general means you can actually like record three channels and then watch one simultaneously or spread four different channels wirelessly throw through devices in the house that's very comfortable and then all this is based on a on a Maximus five extreme um on here c77 Asus board with an overclocked i7 3770 are okay and yeah DD Asus board has a custom bias we refined DD pwm fan settings so we have like the broader range in an idle in idle system is completely inaudible and then once it gets up on the loads either with gaming or encoding or whatsoever the the fans would rise a little bit in speed too you have to cool it down sufficiently but it's still gonna be gonna be very very quiet exactly what you would expect from your living room system so when we have a look from Europe case 33 32 gigabytes of dual-channel RAM and then just below the blu-ray drive or the writer depending on configuration you have a SSD set up in decades to to 40 gigabytes of course a new terminal GTX running in Reggio involves providing up to 1 beta bytes read and write speeds making the system incredibly snappy so yeah that's let's take let's talk about the the back panel of our system so basically this is a power switch for the for the PSU then then down here we have with the with the Maximus 5 formula we have a thunderbolt port we have like an internal integrated Wireless and Bluetooth card we have our standard USB connectors here we have an onboard onboard HDMI and DisplayPort connector which we don't use in that case because we have our dedicated to the GPX 690 graphics card in there we have some more ports here for analog audio or optical s/pdif which we also don't use because we actually do use our our DVI port on the HDX 690 within HDMI connector it's it's actually the same standard transmitting both sound and and video to the AVR and from there to the TV so we have our true HD 7.1 lost less bitstreams audio and and of course lossless video to the TV with it and we go up here see our our fan spinning we actually use the gentle typhoon fans which are known as to is the best fans for for radiator views and also the most silent or the highest pressure that's what beer we were known for and then here our engineers like building pluck at so you have to get the signature of whoever built your system which will then later we also using for contact person and in case you experiencing any any problems would you hopefully don't so basically when we talk about the noise level or system it's it's completely inaudible in silent there's three theoretical sources of noise which is the fans which is the pump and the hard drive which are the mechanical parts in there and we like all the all the all the stuff we use is completely inaudible in idle and optimized for that and then of course the defense will turn up a little bit once once the load levels go up but it's still gonna be an extremely silent system and really made for for the living room yeah so now let me just show you how well a high-end piece of gaming from from the couch really works a bit slow basically for you like I have the keyword random I like the works Persian Guinea indeed it's a smaller keyboard we'll put it to your right side you can either like clicking here or uses Thunder it's WASD keys so we have a wireless said she saw a doctor tech mouse here at K 800 keyword both work very well in a long distance living room environment which is very important because all the interferences you have with other wireless devices but those we've tested a lot early a lot of devices out there and those to work work perfectly you know lag free and yeah just give it a shot with Crysis 2 and yeah have a look and see see for yourself how it goes and how inserted actually is and and how comfortable it is just just to gain from it so far okay so here's now we're playing on our 70 inch full HD 3d TV basically this is 2d now because the camera can pick up 3d we love to play games in 3d and Crysis 2 natively supports it so it would actually work but there's no point in showing you and the first thing I want to present to you is like how really like how instant electri the mouse works now so you see the mouse how I move it and see it on the screen it's like it's like connecting it with a cable and coming from a Counter Strike competitive background I'm really sensitive to think like that so that was one of our prerequisites if you want to do a gaming htpc and if you like check out this detail and enrichment and everything looks like doing some soul whatever is out there it's so much better and then this is full HD and hardware settings which is the maximum you can do on prices to that system we crossing the hunger that PS limit as you can see in the right corner that's perhaps and that's our current fps and in Full HD officer and when we come to systems max itself like a temper just see them down there on the possibly longer door which is always running in the background so you can just like that flight full control over your settings and yeah and this keeping really cool that we have like CPU 1065 yeah working really well so yeah now we're done showing you the gaming part so what I'm gonna do now is show you some some stress tester so I'm just gonna like the alt tap switch and leaf prices running in the background so it's that system running see there and now we're gonna stop just our stress testing with prime95 over the live line test for Duran and like the very high CPU utilization and at the same time or on fur mark which is like a high end GPU stress test so you can see on the screen below there that both CPU and GPU working 100% low levels and the CPU as with liquid cooling going up to 75 mile the GPU stays really cool left at 45 and then really slowly going up and remember that's a that's a normal clock 377 was here okay overclocked to 4.5 gigahertz and voltages up respectively and yeah also the GPUs it's a 690 Hydra copper which comes pre overclocked factory wise because didn't do anything else there but still as if I'd be some heat the system suggests this just things we need to reassign in a cool so yeah now you got some first impression of our system and I hope we could convince you and it's actually called the lead because we believe it's it's really truly elite and if you would like to just check it out have a closer look see some photos some specs can check out our website on www stagger dynamics comm or find us on the web and just google us and yeah have a look you can configure it and yeah we'd like to hear from you bye bye
