These pre-filled liquid cooling units are getting better and better. This one is lightweight, low profile, and looks like a terrific value. | So guys, today I'm going to be doing a quick unboxing of the Antec Cooler H2O 620. So this is the little brother to the Cooler H2O 920. Now the key difference between this one and the 920, they're both fairly similar in terms of the design, is the thickness of the radiator. So while the 620 uses a thinner style radiator that offers the advantage of better compatibility with cases on the market, the 920 is going to offer better performance due to the larger surface area. So you can see on the front of the box here, we have a picture of the product itself. So here's the radiator and fan as well as the flexible tubing. This is a huge feature that the Cooler series has over other pre-done liquid cooling systems on the market because it gives you a lot more flexibility in terms of how you can route your tubing. There's the integrated CPU pump and water block and let's see what they have to say for themselves on the box. So quick install, zero maintenance, that I'll believe. Here we've got quick install, zero maintenance. Okay, same thing. On the back we've got low profile pump, ensures exceptional liquid circulation while preserving internal airflow. This is true, it does give you more clearance around the CPU socket area. For the MOSFET coolers to receive airflow. Okay, we've got intelligent noise speed control fan for quiet and efficient cooling. So that's a PWM fan included. We've also got non-corrugated easy bend tubing which I talked about before in latest generation copper cold plate. And by cold plate, they're saying the same thing as what I mean when I say water block. So water block is more of a DIY term I guess. And let's just see if there's anything I'm missing here on the box. Yeah, here we go. So they're saying that the Cooler H20620 has slightly better performance than the first generation of pre-done liquid cooling systems on the market and obviously it just smokes the stock Intel cooler. Alright, so let's see what we've got inside the box here. First thing we find is the mounting hardware. And what Antec's done creatively here, see this, is they have color coded the mounting hardware so that if you're using AMD, all you do is put in the green tabs into your mounting system. If you're using Intel, you put the blue tabs in and that way you can't accidentally mix them up because with some of the other products that were based on a similar design, the OEM is Asetek which is quite obvious. It says Asetek right on the radiator. They were all black and it could have been quite confusing. It comes with an installation guide. So you can see here it shows you all the stuff that's included with the H20620. Shows you how to mount the radiator and fan to your case as well as the CPU block slash pump unit to your motherboard. Next we have the fan. It's a very beefy fan. Doesn't have much flex to it. Well built overall. It's got a seven blade design. There's little markings on it to show you which way the air moves. Oh, it's not PWM. This one is not PWM. This is a three pin fan connector. And then finally we have the cooler at 620 itself. So I'm going to take off the little plastic baggie that covers the CPU block and we're going to have a look at that first. So here we are. You can see it has pre-applied thermal compound. This is an extremely high quality thermal compound. There will be no need to replace that unless for whatever reason you've installed it once and then you discover that you need to take it off. Well then you'll have to clean off your CPU, clean off the bottom of the cooler 620, reapply thermal compound and put it back on. Okay, you can see right here we've got rotary fittings. So that allows you the flexibility to have the fittings or the tubing approach the block from any angle without risking kinking it. I'm just going to zoom in a little bit here so I don't have to reach so far forward. There we go. So now you can see that a little bit better. There you go. Okay, we've got two cables coming out of the pump. One of them is for power to the pump right there. So that's a standard three pin power. And then the other one is for power to the fan. So this is actually an output. This allows the cooler software to intelligently control the pump and the fan according to liquid temperatures. I believe. At least the 920 does anyway. Hold on a second. Oh, bummer. Okay, it looks like I was wrong. The 620 doesn't include the software. So I would definitely recommend ponying up a little bit more for the 920. But the advantages that the 620 still has are the extremely flexible tubing. So I want you guys to check this out. No matter what you do to this stuff pretty much, I want you to look at that whole knot that I've tied in the tubing. No kinking whatsoever. That ensures that you're going to get good flow of the liquid no matter how you have to route this to get to your CPU. Okay, so this is just straight power for the pump and fan and then an extension to the fan so that you have power to both of those things. All right. The Lantech logo on the top. Okay. Finally, we have the radiator. So as I said before, the radiator actually has the Asetek branding right on it. So it's not like it's any secret who makes this thing. There you go. Hopefully you can read that now. It is a thin profile radiator, so not the thicker style that is used in the 920. So performance is going to be about on par with a pretty good aftermarket air cooler. So why would you go with something like this? And the answer is fairly simple for me. The reason I would choose one of these pre-done liquid, I mean, for my own personal system, I have a custom liquid cooling setup. But if I was going to build a more basic system, I would go with one of these over a high-end air cooler in certain scenarios. If I'm going to be moving the system around and if I'm worried about having all of that weight from a cooler hanging off of the CPU socket, then I would definitely consider one of these because you're taking the heaviest part, this is the radiator full of liquid, and you are bolting it to your case instead of to your motherboard. All you're bolting to your motherboard is a little pump unit. So there's not a terrific amount of weight on the motherboard itself, whereas with a lot of tower air coolers, you're putting a huge amount of weight on the motherboard, and that is a bit of a stressor on it. So that is pretty much it for the Cooler 620. Thank you for checking out my unboxing. Don't forget to subscribe to... Is this thing really not going to work for me? There we go. That's all the time I spent on this Tech Tips for my unboxings, reviews, and other computer videos. Thanks for watching. I'm James, and I'll see you next time. | [

] | Today I have a look at a pretty cool little micro USB flash drive. Also I tell a funny story. | Today I'm unboxing something that may not seem that interesting on first glance, but I assure you it is. This is the PNY Micro Attaché Premium USB Drive. You can tell that it's attaché instead of attaché because of the accent. And because I am Canadian, I know how French accents work. Imagine that. Okay, so let's get this open. First of all, this is an 8GB USB thumb drive. And like I said, it doesn't seem like there's really anything much to be said about it. It doesn't even advertise a rated speed because something like this is not really about speed. It's about how small it is. And you'll notice I have a knife today. Check that out. I'm always forgetting a knife for my unboxings and I have to like tear things apart or use a key or a pen. Alright, so let's see what the insert includes. It includes... Seems to be taped shutters. Oh, it's glued shut. Look at that. Aha, there we go. Oh, so it includes a little security tag. These are great because you can like stick them on the bottoms of people's shoes and then when they walk around in the mall, they'll have the alarms going off all over the place. We'll be able to figure out what's going on. They include a PNY catalog, which has something about their Virtuo cards, their Accelerate cards. These are their consumer gaming graphics cards and they have their quad... Oh, cameraman's looking somewhere else entirely. Oh, build to order USB flash drives. I didn't know they do that. Look at that. So many models and colors and sizes. You can pick a logo and I had no idea PNY did that. Then we've got their Quadro graphics cards up here and then they have memory upgrade solutions. Okay, let's see what's on the other side. We also have USB 2.0 flash drive solutions. Then we have CompactFlash and SD and SDHC and SSD drives. There, that is the entire catalog for PNY. Very convenient of them to include that for us. Then we have operating considerations and precautions. Okay, wow, that's pretty much it. They show you how to plug it in because that is what is cool about this drive. This is one of those tiny, tiny, tiny USB drives that if you didn't know how to plug it in, I actually sent someone to print photos for me at Costco and I sent them with one of these micro drives and the lady at Costco at the photo counter said that they didn't have a slot for this particular kind of memory device. Not knowing how to show them how to do it, I ended up with... My friend didn't know how to do it either so I ended up with my drive full of my photos just coming back to me and I didn't get my photos. That was quite a disappointing experience but I am going to show all of my loyal viewers. See, I've been keeping this board next to my unboxing station for a reason. It's been leading up to this moment and if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you so it plugs in just like that. Check that out. So, it is like the lowest profile possible USB flash drive. The only way you can screw it up is if you stick it in this way because that way it'll go in for sure but see the metal contacts here won't actually touch the metal contacts inside the USB port. So there you have it. That is the PNY Micro Attaché 8GB. Thanks for watching. Subscribe. | [

https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=FDF7BB82779FFF1!514&authkey=!ADJjQwC6v5jX8vs | Welcome to another Linus Tech Tips video card launch video. So this one is for the GeForce GTX 660 from Nvidia. We're going to be featuring the MSI Twin Frozr SKU. This is a 2GIG card and it has, as you can clearly see, their Twin Frozr 3 cooler. So the Twin Frozr 3 cooler has all of the features of a Twin Frozr 4 except for one. So I'm going to show you guys. It's got dual fans, of course. It has a super pipe, thick fat heat pipe keeps the card nice and cool. It has, oh okay, this is, don't do this at home kids. Okay, grounding first of course. Propeller blade fans, so that the shape as well as that coating on the tips makes it so that it does push more air. It's extremely quiet. You can see we're running a game right now and I'm going to get my, okay I was going to have you move the opposite direction. I'm going to stop talking and I want you to move really close to the card so you can see even running a game. It's like inaudible, you can't even hear the thing. But it's missing the dust removal tech where the fans counter spin the wrong way and remove some dust from the heat sink before it starts. So let's go into some of the details of the GPU itself. So this is using a GK106 core. Okay, this is just the box so there's nothing really that special here. GK106 core, it's a Kepler based GPU. So this is a huge improvement over last generation cards which are based on the Fermi architecture. So Kepler adds a whole bunch of stuff. Besides much better power consumption and better performance, Kepler also adds support, you know, well, okay, the older cards support it too. But innately for TXAA, FXAA, so these are additional anti-aliasing modes with FXAA being fantastic for lower performance cards but maintaining a certain level of visual quality. You've also got full support for adaptive v-sync and being a Kepler card you also have on the TI skew, so rather not on the TI, on the 660, you've got support for up to four displays out. So if you come back here and have a look, we've got two DVI ports, one HDMI and display port out which is going to give you three in Nvidia surround plus one auxiliary display to work with. Now the 660 only supports two-way SLI. So if you step up to a 660 TI, you have support for three-way SLI but the 660 because it's not based on the GK104 but rather based on the GK106 core only supports two-way SLI. It also has a 192-bit memory bus which is the same as the GTX 660 TI and what that means is Nvidia is using their unique technology in order to achieve their even memory amount so that's the two-gig memory amount versus what you'd normally see with a 192-bit bus which is either 1.5 gigs or three gigs. So that allows us to hit kind of a sweet spot and this brings me to one of the major points before we get into the performance of the card too much that I want to make versus its last generation contemporary, the GTX 560 TI. So these are the more price comparable cards necessarily than the 660 TI to the 560 TI would be. So this is a one gig card. You can buy two gig ones but the normal one is a one gig card and we observed, so check this out, so the 660 is getting around 100 FPS, this is an ultra quality and the Elder Scrolls, whatever it is, Skyrim around 80 FPS. So we're going to go ahead and we're going to alt tab out of this game and we saw some crazy results. So these results aren't done yet. I still have to do some more testing but check this out. So the 560 TI to the 660 is as much as a doubling in performance and hold on, I'm going to have to double check these numbers with the ones that I just ran. Okay, so that's a little bit different. See this is why I'm rerunning some of the numbers because they just plain didn't look right but check this out. So 560 TI is beaten by more than double by a GTX 660 in Skyrim. So what we're observing here is that the reason Nvidia has gone with that two gig frame buffer is that's the sweet spot right now where three gigs would potentially cost too much and not provide any additional benefit but a two gig frame buffer is going to be more than enough but save you some of the cost on the card so that you get more graphics power for cheaper. So we've had people suggest actually from our 660 TI video review that our 560 TI results were nerfed in some way but that's not true at all. What you are seeing is the fact that we are running on modern settings. So Crysis 2 is running at very high with the high res textures enabled. Skyrim is running at the ultra preset with the high res texture pack. Witcher 2 is running at very high preset with VSync on and Metro 2033 is just a super demanding game in the first place. So it shouldn't surprise us that much that these are games that at 1080p with high details are running out of room on that one gig frame buffer. So with all that in mind stay tuned for performance. Alright, so here I am in the home studio and I've finished all the benchmarking that needs to be done for this card. So we've, I think I've already covered enough about the technology itself. So here is the test platform and for a change I am going to take this powerpoint presentation. I'm going to put a link under the video review so you guys can actually download it and check out the graphs at your leisure. I'm going to make a habit of doing this in the future guys. So this is all run on a Core i7-3930 kit, 4 gigahertz, cool by Core 3H100. You can read the rest of the specs should you so desire. So let's go ahead and switch into play mode. First benchmark is Crysis 2 at 1080p at very high settings. So something you guys are going to notice, again these 560 Ti results, they are terrible. So we did not see very good results with the 560 Ti at all. The 660 Ti absolutely rocks it. So by about double the performance and really hangs with its bigger brother the 660 Ti, did I say 660 Ti? The 660 hangs with its big brother the 660 Ti and the 670 which were both very close. I think we get CPU limited once we hit around 95 FPS in this particular game. The 660 competes very well against its direct competition the 7870. So we see a pretty much a neck and neck race here guys. And our next benchmark is Battlefield 3. So here we see the GTX 660 performs pretty much again in line with the 7870, edging it out by about 4% which is outside the margin of error. So we're going to go ahead and call it a victory. But again legs behind its bigger brothers which is to be expected. Next benchmark, Skyrim. Skyrim was a bit of a mess overall just due to the fact that we become very CPU limited once we hit around that 100 FPS mark. So it's really hard for any of these cards to pull away from each other. However this is still a convincing victory for the 660 but it again loses to its bigger brother and this looked like a bit of an anomaly. So not sure what to make of that but don't mind it. Witcher 2. Once again we see the same pattern where these two cards are very competitive with each other. However we're going to call that a win for the 7870 and the 660 legs behind the 660Ti and the 670 which is to be expected because it's cheaper. Finally Metro 2033. See this is the one. They're all supposed to be aligned like this so that you can easily compare which cards perform in line with which other cards. So here we had these two cards perform very similarly. It looks like almost like a memory bandwidth bottleneck because you can see the 670 really pulls away and it doesn't have that 192 memory bus like these two cards both have and they both perform very similarly to the 7870 in this context.

Outro Screen Music Credit: Approaching Nirvana - Sugar High http://www.youtube.com/approachingnirvana | It's time for HandyTech again, where companies send us stuff or I buy it and then I tell you what I think is good. With the purchase of a qualifying Intel processor, SSD, or NUC, you could instantly win an Intel gaming jersey and be entered in the draw for the Ultimate System. Click now to learn more. So let's get this kicked off with something I've been meaning to buy... forever. Looking back at older videos, you can see me taking the temperature of a notebook with a K-type probe taped down to some thermal goop to ensure I'm getting a reasonably accurate reading. This method worked, but is more time-consuming and certainly messier than I'd like. Welcome to the new age. I don't know that this particular model is super amazing or anything, but it's very well-reviewed on Amazon and for a mere $44, I can now take the temperature of pretty much anything I can aim it at. It records temperatures from minus 60 to 500 degrees Celsius, has a laser guide so you know where you're pointing, uses AAA batteries instead of the, for me, less common 9-volt batteries, and has a distance-to-spot ratio of 12 to 1, meaning the patch it's measuring is 1 12th the size of the distance you're holding the unit away from a given surface. It's got some limitations though. It won't take air temperature, solids and liquids only. It doesn't have adjustable emissivity so it can read higher or lower depending on the reflective consistency of the surface, and it doesn't come with any kind of certified calibration or anything like that. But there are tons of things it could be useful for, including anything you don't want to damage or contaminate by touching it, anywhere that's difficult or dangerous to reach, or even taking the temperature of moving objects with the one-second delay between the trigger press and readout. What I use it for is quick and dirty temperature readings on products. With notebooks, it allows me to find hot spots very quickly, and for things like graphics cards, it lets us take a look at... Sorry, we're back. And for things like graphics cards, it lets us take a look at at least the surface temperature of components that aren't normally read by software. Great for diagnosing problems. Next up, we've got a product that has generated a ton of confusion over the years because apparently lots of people didn't know that you can simply buy a dongle for 12 bucks and connect up to four wireless Xbox 360 controllers to your PC for single or multiplayer use. I always get people being like, what controller is that? Or like, OMG, Linus is gaming on Xbox when a picture or video shows up with a wireless Xbox controller in it. Nope, not the case. You just plug this bad boy in, install the driver from the disk, or download one and force the install, then bind it to the controller in the same way that presumably you do it on a console. I've actually never done it on a console, but if you need instructions, you can find them on the official Microsoft product page. Because every game today is basically a console port, I find using an Xbox controller is a super easy way to make sure that all the buttons are bound correctly out of the box, and I've been doing this for years. It's awesome and well worth the 12 dollars, especially if you already have a controller or two lying around. The last product for today is one that I only bought because I felt like I was forced to. LG managed to make one of the finest monitors on the market, the 34UM95 UltraWide 3440x1440 21x9 aspect ratio monitor that I reviewed here, with one of the worst monitor stands that I've ever seen. It only has two height settings, and even worse, at the highest fixed setting, it's still not high enough for me. So the Satechi F1 smart monitor stand looked like a good bet to get the monitor up a little higher and add front audio extensions and a USB 2 hub to my desk at the same time. From the pictures, it looked to be well built, attractive in a minimalist sort of way, and practical because it allows you to use the space under it for storage instead of just wasting it. In practice, the platform is solid enough for me, although the 22 pound weight rating doesn't seem deserved given the complaints from 27 inch iMac users, and while it does allow you to store stuff under it, I just don't find it that nice looking. The picture made it look like it would kind of match an aluminum finish on the top, but when it arrived, I found that aside from the attractive aluminum legs, the finish is very cheap and plasticky feeling. It can be assembled two different ways, to either elevate your display 8 or 10.5 centimeters by either folding out or not folding out the two plastic tabs, but this mechanism, while once again solid enough for my use, just didn't inspire that much confidence. My last complaint is that the built-in 4-port USB hub isn't powered, not even a power jack to give me the option to buy a 5-volt adapter and use one myself. That would have gone a long way towards making me feel a little better about the purchase. Maybe I'm asking too much of this one though. It was only 35 bucks, and I'm still planning to use it, because at that price I consider it very fair. If I wasn't going to use it, I wouldn't have featured it in the video, but next time I might use a little bit more of my less than $100 budget for a monitor stand that we're going to showcase on the channel here. Maybe something a little bit nicer. Speaking of showcase, that's the channel, at least here in Canada anyway, where as a kid I was able to find all the soft core... or sorry, what was I talking about? Oh right, Hulu Plus. It offers simple and reliable video streaming service for your PC, smartphone, TV or tablet. With a wide range of network TV shows, criterion movies, kids shows and anime, Hulu Plus has the quantity and variety to suit a wide range of viewing needs. Unfortunately, I'd be pretty stoked that starting September, Hulu Plus will feature the entire archive of previous self-park episodes as well as new ones. Yay! Now, I've had a number of our viewers point out to me that Hulu Plus, like regular Hulu, costs $7.99 a month and still has ads. Yes, we know. The point of the... plus part is that you get more archived content and the ability to view it across a wider variety of devices. Maybe that's not compelling enough for you. Or maybe it is. Why not give it a shot? Visit HuluPlus.com slash Linus and get a two week trial of the service so you can decide for yourself. Time for the full disclosure part of this video, which I think you guys need to know since HandiTech is kind of straight up recommendations rather than reviews. For this episode, it's easy. I bought the thermometer and the monitor stand for work and the generic Xbox dongle to replace my broken official Microsoft one. Anyway, thanks for watching guys. Like if you liked, dislike if you disliked. Leave a comment with other suggestions for future HandiTech Under 100 episodes.

Label channel: http://youtube.com/monstercat | Welcome to part two of how to change the color of your motherboard. It will be the epic conclusion and we don't actually know yet if it's going to be epic win or epic fail, but stay tuned with us as we try and figure out the best technique for removing the paint from the contacts and then test the board to see if it actually works because if it survives this mod, this is the board that's going to be going in my personal system. So I need it to actually be functional in order for me to be comfortable doing that. Wish me luck. Cooler Master's Case Mod World Series is your opportunity to show off your modding skills and win great prizes. Entries close February 7th, 2015. Click now to learn more. So this is the conclusion of our two-parter on motherboard painting and I'd like to both finish up the process, which some of you thought was done but actually had a lot more work left to do, and address some of the criticism in the comments from part one. So let's pick up where we left off just having removed the tape. The quality of the paint job is just not what I was hoping for. From a distance, it looks pretty good, but I was extremely disappointed that I had missed a couple of masking areas, leaving overspray on some motherboard components and even the PCB. Some viewers suggested a liquid masking material that peels off might be a good bet for next time, but given how much flak I'm taking for making this a two-part video because it took me two days, I figure if I spent another day fussing about with learning a new masking technique, y'all would be none too pleased. But I was at least happy to observe that with some rubbing alcohol and cotton buds, I was able to remove overspray from caps and even the PCB very quickly and effectively and... Oh, sometimes too effectively. I actually ended up making a total mess of this PCI Express lot just by rubbing up against it. Some ghetto painting followed that screw up. I didn't have a brush handy and I was trying to finish this in a timely manner, so the bazillion pack of cotton balls that Nick bought actually allowed me to cover the damaged spot. And even though the surface finish kind of sucks in that spot now, it's hard to notice unless you put your face right next to it. One thing that worked better than I expected for touch-ups was spraying a bit of paint onto a little metal poker and dabbing that onto key areas. I was able to fix up a lot of little areas where the masking was too close to a vertical surface to get good coverage, including the PCI Express slots, RAM slots, one of the USB 3 headers, and even the red accent on the VRM heatsink assembly, so basically everything. Now, a lot of folks asked why we used the paint material we did rather than Plasti Dip or at least priming it first. The reason we didn't prime is that I wanted to avoid any more material build-up than necessary on the slot contacts, and the reason for no Plasti Dip is that while it can be removed, which is convenient, when you scratch it, it has a thick, rubbery consistency that could have gummed up the slots and necessitated filling the PCIe, USB 3, SATA, and RAM slots with something to protect them, such as cardboard or dead components. But even I don't have dead DDR4 lying around, and while I do have cardboard, it would have made even paint coverage much more difficult, especially for slots that will be left empty in the finished system. We're not going for a two-tone color scheme here. So the reason we did it the way we did was that we wanted the paint to flake off easily from the contacts. This just makes me feel horrible inside. Okay. So we're gonna go ahead and repeatedly install and uninstall this. Why don't we do three per slot again just to, uh... Oh! It sounds just as bad. This idea clearly seemed idiotic to a lot of you, and honestly, I was on your side hearing the crunch of installing components into each slot for the first time. But I can assure you that some of the other ideas in the video comments, things like desoldering the slots to remove them, painting them, and re-soldering them, are much worse. I'm actually not aware of anyone ever successfully removing and replacing a PCIe slot, let alone a RAM slot on a modern lead-free solder board. And stop! Stop! Do not post the link, because even if someone has done one slot without breaking the board, they didn't do eight on a single board. So let's not treat that like a viable way to do this. I mean, while it's not perfect, our technique is one that has at least been successfully used before. Anyway, with three insertions in each slot behind us, we turned our attention to tearing down a test bench to fire up the board and find out if it works. At this stage, I had literally no idea if the board was going to work, and contrary to what some of you seem to think, that I don't care about the hardware and was just ruining a motherboard for fun, I was really, really worried. I had a dead Rampage 5 Extreme on my hands and genuinely wanted it to work. It's not like ASUS is going to send me a new one because I painted the one they gave me in the first place, but this channel is supposed to be about pushing the boundaries and doing crazy stuff that you wouldn't risk your own hardware to do on your own. So honestly, I think a lot of the crap about how this is an unnecessary project is horseshit. We're not about to stop ghetto modding and experimenting with this stuff because it's unnecessary. We don't consider it a waste of time and money to do something like this. Our monetary investment is like $4 in paint, and the time that we spend doing it is time we would have spent making a video anyway. So yeah, we risk losing the board, but that happens when you're trying new things, which is our job. And anyway, all the hate about how we killed the board should probably have waited until we actually found out whether the board was going to work or not. So we started logically with DimSlotA1, which spat out an error code, but at least managed to display some postcodes on the board. Then we followed up with DimSlotA2, which caused a reboot loop, even worse. And then, success! DimA3 posted, followed by DimA4, which also posted. So I expect retractions in the comments under part one from everyone who guaranteed the board was dead and called us stupid for basically turning it into garbage, which actually, no, I don't expect retractions. This is the internet. So anyway, a few more tense insertions in the first two slots later, and all four slots had successfully posted. Then it was time for the real acid test. Would the motherboard run all four slots in quad channel? And yes. So we took it to the next level and enabled XMP in the BIOS. Our first attempt at 2800 MHz did fail, but our second attempt at 3000 MHz, a higher frequency but more stable RAM divider on our board, succeeded. And we even managed to do some I264 stress testing in the OS to validate that the system was operating correctly. Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention we checked in the BIOS to make sure our video card was running at PCIe 16x as well. So the board is fully functional. Take that, haters. Alright. So here we are. To be clear, guys, this project is not something I'd recommend. Like, seriously, we're having a do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do moment here. Yes, it worked. The paint we ended up using covered extraordinarily well, given that we didn't use any primer, and the technique we used with some tweaks like better masking and maybe the use of a paintbrush for touch-ups delivered a great 10-foot mod and even a decent 5-foot mod. But there is no guarantee whatsoever that you'd have the same success. And for folks who pay $500 for their ROG motherboards, this is not something I'd be comfortable endorsing. With that said, I'm extremely pleased with the results, and I'm really looking forward to installing this board in my system for my X99 upgrade. I've been having a hard time finding the perfect board, since even the high-end stuff that we get to play with around here at the office either had deal-breaker features for me, like chipset fans, or little things like the wrong color scheme. So this solved my admittedly very first-world problem, and while I'm not sure if I'd do it again, I'm really glad that I did it this time. Speaking of things, you'll be very glad you did, today's episode sponsor is audible.com.

11:37 Outro | Stop, stop, stop, stop. The big scary regulation bogeyman is coming to take away your gaming PC. But only under very specific circumstances. In fact, everything on this table from the compact Intel Beast Canyon NUC to this gaming PC from EK, which is probably compliant, which raises the question, if an RTX 3090 equipped monster like this limbo's under the California Energy Commission's bar, why does the bar even exist? And how did Dell manage to bonk it? Well, to find out, we gathered these parts right here from our warehouse with the goal of building a gaming PC that couldn't be shipped to any of the six states that are abiding by the CEC's Title 20 standards. And it's all fun and games for me since I'm safely up in Canada where we don't have to deal with any of the restrictions that, wait, oh, they apply in BC too. More like Canada, am I right? Well, let's get down to business and figure out what the heck is going on here and also tell you about our sponsor, GlassWire. Thanks to GlassWire for sponsoring this video. Instantly see your current and past network activity detect malware and block badly behaving apps on your PC or Android device. Use offer code Linus to get 25% off GlassWire at the link below. Now, let's get to the point. We're gonna go through the process of building a gaming PC that's not just a gaming PC but a gaming PC. And we're gonna go through the process of building a gaming PC that's not just a gaming PC Step one of building the PC equivalent of a 1960s muscle car is grabbing the most power hungry components possible. I'm going to be using the 11th gen Core i9 11900K. According to this review by a non-tech, Intel's final 14 nanometer flagship has only two thirds as many cores as AMB's price competitive 5900X while being capable of drawing twice as much power under peak load. This thing must not be allowed, right? Nope, it's all good. Well, yeah, believe it or not, the CEC and every other entity following its guidelines just don't care how much power your CPU draws under load. Their primary concern is how much power is being wasted on machines that are sitting at idle. So we should be able to use any modern CPU we want as long as our motherboard is configured to allow deep enough sleep states and our operating system is configured to activate them within 30 minutes. As for RAM, I have chosen 64 gigabytes of, oh. I have chosen 64 gigabytes of wasteful RGB lights. Believe it or not, these don't make your computer go faster. Surely California hates these, right? Yeah, actually the only situation where your system memory could put you in non-compliance would be if you had less than eight gigabytes of it. So go ham on your big chungus memory kits. Just make sure you don't go overboard on your motherboard. This guy right here, it's compliant. But what happens if I was to have the party-est motherboard you could possibly imagine? This thing can't be compliant, is it? It's even more compliant. It's more compliant. All right. Although this thing's a monster and has like six CPU power connectors and two 24 pins, it still is totally fine. The thing is that the expandability score is what actually matters. So things like memory slots, expansion cards, and even back panel ports, the higher expandability score or ES. In brief, every PC is given a power draw allowance based on this score and it all mostly makes sense. A hard drive gets more power allowance than SSD, for example, because it takes more power to spin up a disc. Most importantly though, if that expandability score passes 690, nice, then you're exempt from the typical energy consumption standards, almost. You'll still need to pass the performance bar for the energy efficient ethernet, but that's another story for another time. The bottom line is that even things like liquid cooling contribute to this score. So any PC with premium gaming motherboards like this one or this monster, well, it increases its power allowance. So knowing that, I guess this giant fan, triple AIO cooler helps me. So yeah, don't press the buzzer, this thing's fine. But surely this RTX 3090 isn't compliant. Like it can draw over 400 Watts peak by itself alone. And Nvidia recommends a thousand watt power supply. So any mortal that dares to... Yeah, yeah, it's fine. There's another way to get around the regulations by combining a powerful GPU. So that's a card with over 600 gigabytes per second of bandwidth with a power supply of over 600 Watts, regardless of the efficiency. And the PC falls into the air quotes, high expandability computer bracket and is exempt from regulation. Even this 1600 watt monster, well, yeah, it's totally fine. And this thousand watt piece of... I mean, come on, it weighs absolutely nothing. It's also totally fine, even though it shouldn't be for wildfire hazard reasons. But these guys right here, no dice. That's where the efficiency part really comes into effect. 80 plus is a body that certifies power supplies for their efficiency and the gold tier just so happens to align perfectly with the minimum efficiency requirements for title 20. 80 plus is just a brand name of sorts. So you can have a power supply that passes without acquiring the stamp, but it does need to hit that gold target. Unless it's over 600 Watts and paired with a chunker GPU. And that's for a good reason. Up until recently, bronze rated power supplies were considered deice, but nowadays bronze is pretty low tier with gold, platinum and titanium efficiencies all being more affordable to boot. While these bronze guys may be more wallet friendly in the short term, both you and your local power grid will pay the price in power and electrical overhead respectively. But it also just doesn't really matter because you're probably building your own PC anyway. Fortunately, DIY builds don't need to follow title 20 rules. So who does this apply to? Only medium to large manufacturers in these six states right here. If you're outside of those states, don't worry for now. If you are in those states, well, you still probably don't need to worry. If you build your own PCs, you're fine. If you're buying a PC made from parts from a small business, you're also probably fine. Title 20 is squarely aimed at mid to high volume producers. So like Dell Alienware, HP, Lenovo, the kind of brands that pump out hundreds if not thousands of systems. System integrators like Origin PC, CyberPower, and Mane Gear will feel the effects, but because they're doing bespoke builds rather than hundreds of the same PC, they should be able to work within the guidelines just fine as long as they follow the rules. How about an example? This is Luke's old PC and in it we have a Corsair TX750M, a gold rated 750 watt power supply. That's good. It's above the 600 watt minimum required to be called a high expandability PC. But because the GPU here is a measly GTX950, it now needs to be certified before it can be sold by someone like Dell Alienware. Same for Alienware's Aurora lineup. This one does sport the 1000 watt power supply option, which apparently is gold rated according to some Dell help forum posts. It does not meet the threshold for exemption because the RTX 2080 Super clocks in at 496 gigabytes per second of bandwidth. For this to be sold, it would need to be tested by a third party and marketed as such and that's expensive. Dell confirmed with us that future R10 and R12 models would meet or exceed title 20 guidelines, but that doesn't really answer why they didn't get this certified in the first place because they definitely knew it was coming. And Dell isn't alone here. Any medium to large PC builders will need to build and certify their machines under title 20 if they plan to do any business in the world's fifth largest economy, lying somewhere between Germany and the UK in size or any add-on states. Macroview title 20 declares the minimum efficiency levels for energy and water consumption in products. Everything from light bulbs to plumbing. What we're particularly concerned with is article four of the standard, appliances, which categorizes PCs into a handful of groups, think laptop, desktop, workstation, and then further defines the allowable idle power consumption of each device with this rather complex formula. The reason all of this is even a thing is very straightforward. As PCs keep getting more powerful and power hungry, if you extrapolate that a bit to somewhere near 2040, the sheer volume of power required for computation will surpass the global power output. Yeah, seriously, in less than 20 years, there'll be more computing than there is power to run computers. And that's not even taking into account the rapid automotive electrification, but that's a whole different ball of worms. And that is why California is pushing for these tighter controls, not just to reduce their emissions from power generation, but also reduce the infrastructure costs of upscaling and moving that power around. If you can nip the downstream power demand in the bud, your existing infrastructure can go longer before upgrades are needed. Computers alone account for roughly 3% of residential and 7% of commercial energy use in California. That is no small amount of power. Title 20 is estimated to save more than 2.3 billion kilowatt hours of energy. That's the equivalent of the entire city of San Francisco yearly. There will be some trickle down costs to the consumer, of course, as third party certification isn't free. And with 80 plus bronze and silver no longer being an option, the cost of an 80 plus gold or higher power supply will have to come from somewhere and you will be footing the bill for that. But again, if you still want a bronze power supply, you can just build your own computer. We've got a whole host of PC build guys you can work off of and just jump right in. Globally, there's an energy revolution taking place, whether it be through electric vehicles, renewable energy, or increased computerization of our daily lives. When the chip shortage does end, hopefully half soon, the problem of sheer power consumption, generation and distribution is dead ahead. If we play our cards right today, hopefully we'll be able to power all of the chips tomorrow. Thanks to Drop for sponsoring this video.

] | I know that the 480 is the one that everyone is most interested in, but I thought I'd take some time to have a look at the 470 as well. | Fermi is the card that everyone's been talking about for the last couple weeks and for a good reason it's Nvidia's first DirectX 11 part. Now this isn't quite the one that people are as excited about that's the GTX 480 the higher-end one but today I'm going to be having a look at a Zotac GTX 470 so this is a slightly cut down GTX 480. Basically they've knocked down the memory to 1280 megabytes and then they've knocked down the memory interface to 320-bit so that means that it's slightly slower access to slightly less memory and the clock speeds are down a little bit as well but it's not all bad news you also save a little bit of money versus a GTX 480. Now something to note about Zotac's GTX 470 is that they've extended the warranty in the US and Canada they're actually offering a lifetime warranty on their 470 and 480 parts and they're not the only vendor to step up and that in that regard with this generation of cards actually PNY did the same thing so here on the side you can see we've got some I'm going to just zoom in here so you can see the box a little bit better we have the included sort of supported software so Zotac Boost is Tri-G Force accelerated software okay including Bada Boom which is for encoding video and then Vreveal for enhancing videos and a couple other things then you've got your usual tags from Nvidia so physics as well as do around the side you've got SLI support Pure Video HD as well as GeForce CUDA let's go around to the back of the box where it says this thing goes really fast and then let's go to the side of the box where it says sort of more detailed information so it gives you the full specs of the card which if I zoom in just a little tiny bit more you might actually be able to read there you go and then it also gives you the system requirements and key features and the system requirements aren't here I'm guessing I'm going around to the other side of the box for that yay there we go minimum system requirements are right there so PCI Express 2.0 compliant motherboard with one dual with 16x graphics slot a 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI Express connector minimum 550 watt or greater power supply with a minimum 12 volt current rating of 38 amps okay 10TM it's see this is a weird thing okay look at this Intel Pentium 4 AMD Athlon XP class processor or higher show me an Athlon XP motherboard with a PCI Express slot why even bother putting that on the side of the box it boggles the mind okay so why don't we go ahead I mean everyone does it I'm not just calling it Zotac on this one for some reason everybody seems to include that particular requirement Athlon XP or better so hey I don't have a knife today but what I do have is an Nvidia pen to break the seal with so how appropriate is that I'm just gonna poke a hole in the tape here wow that's pretty resilient tape this might be a bit of a problem it's very strong tape today but that's okay with the power of Nvidia I can get through it there we go and let's find out what is inside this particular video card box so the first thing we find is a clear plastic cover that covers it next we've got a couple of PCI Express power adapters so that's a dual mole X to single PCI Express and then another dual mole X to single PCI Express right there and then we've got a DVI to VGA adapter as well as a mini HDMI to HDMI adapter nice of them to include that because how many people have a mini HDMI cable versus how many people have an HDMI cable okay let's take out the foam here the foam is protecting the video card that's kind of interesting this doesn't actually look like it's quite the right size for the 470 look at this you can kind of take it and stick it over there and then I'm gonna zoom out a little bit so you can see what I'm doing a little bit better here but see look at look at this you can actually take the 470 and it looks like it just just fits right on this side but then on this side you've got like an extra inch of space so I'm wondering if maybe this carton wasn't designed for the 480 and then they just kind of slapped 470 on the outside of it either way okay the inside this baggie we find first a warning so the warning is about just how hot the GTX 470 gets attention before booting your PC make sure you connect the two six pin PCI Express power connectors and please allow the graphics card to cool after operation before removing it from your system signed Nvidia thank you for that next inside here you'll find a few more things so the first one is supersonic sled design garage test drive your g-force GPU so it's got a couple of demo demos on there then you have a driver installation CD as well as a ZOTAC case badge don't use that well you can use the case bad but don't use the CD downloadability strivers off Nvidia.com here's a little list of the ZOTAC booster as well the Nvidia CUDA enabled applications that you can run with this card you've got a ZOTAC extended warranty as well as quick quick installation guide booklet and then last but not least you have a ZOTAC users manual now let's have a look at the card itself and this is another thing that I'm I was pretty sure about but not a hundred percent yeah on the outside of the box this really does look kind of reused from the 480 which I totally understand because the reality of it is they didn't have a whole lot of time to do packaging between Nvidia sending the cards to their partners and then putting branding on them and sending them out for retail but on the side of this box it actually says it requires one six pin and one 8 pin PCI Express connector but this card actually runs off two six pin connectors so that would be completely unnecessary so I'm just going to stand here and show you the card because that's simpler than using that stupid remote to zoom so you've got your fan here the fan is quite loud if it's anything like the GTX 480 which I also did a video about the fan speed of ZOTAC has actually managed to work their branding right onto the plastic of the card itself which is kind of surprising to me because for the most part all of the launch cards I've seen have just kind of had a sticker on them so they've got their serial number on the top here or what it may be a part number more ZOTAC branding GeForce branding this is present on all 470s and 480s up at the top you've got two SLI bridge connectors for up to three-way SLI on the back you can see right where the GPU is located here where the PCB is busiest and then right by the fan Nvidia has actually worked in a ventilation hole for that fan to get more airflow sucked in from the back let's work our way down to the bottom of the card where we will find a standard PCI Express 16x connector and then we can go from there around to I guess the back where you can see right down into the shroud here there's some of the power regulation stuff is right there so you're gonna get some incidental airflow from the fan that's gonna keep that nice and cool okay and then around to the business end of the card this is where your two DVI connectors are don't forget that these 470s and 480s do support surround view but only in SLI mode so you would actually plug two monitors into two DVI and then you would take another card and then plug a single monitor into that and you can actually run 3d vision on three monitors at the same time so that's pretty cool then you've got your mini HDMI connector so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the ZOTAC GTX 470 | [

] | Just me and Cameraman goofing around playing games in the Tech Tips room. Wish we had more time for this kind of stuff honestly :P | So there's my wheel. We were doing some, well, some testing and validation because of course that is a critical part of my job. And I managed to get into a pretty severe accident in grid on the triple monitor setup that we have going on here. So let's sort of start that over. I know this track pretty well so it makes me look a lot better in racing games than I actually am. Although I gotta say guys, the, uh, whoops, well whatever. Oh, come on. I gotta say the side view gives you a lot more perspective for things like how much space you have from the barrier and actually gives you much finer control if you're a halfway decent racing game player, not at all like me, than you would have with a single monitor. Oh my goodness. This is terrible. Terrible. I'm in last place. So fun though. It's like after hours, no one's here at the office so it's like me and cameraman hanging out. And he gets to watch me play video games. Lucky guy. Maybe I'll even let him play later. See, I promised I'd let cameraman play. The setup is so friggin' sweet. So this isn't a Tech Tips episode but there's the AMD Dream Machine 6-core processor, Radeon 6970, fastest AMD graphics card out there. Triple monitor display from Samsung, that's the MD230X3. So this is 3x HD resolution so here I am sort of down at the right angle to view these monitors at. Look at that, like my camera's not even wide enough to capture the gloriousness of it. I think for a Mac guy he drives okay I guess. At least he's not texting on his iPhone while he's trying to drive a race car. | [
