Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for

2
00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:11,599
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:18,000
Digital so we're at the sapphire suite and while they didn't have anything necessarily new for me they showed me

4
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:19,400
the R9 290 with its Trix cooler on there

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,480
that was released a little bit before Christmas and now I haven't seen this in

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,960
real life yet and it's actually really exciting compared to a reference card

7
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:29,240
it's got a beastly cooler with five really big copper heat pipes running

8
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:34,239
through it Three in One Direction two in the other direction which should help cool it a lot and it does underload this

9
00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:38,320
card floats at around 70 something degrees in comparison to a stock card

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:42,680
that floats at 95 this will allow you to do a lot more with it and it kind of

11
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:47,399
removes that scary feeling that your card's sitting at almost 100° which is

12
00:00:45,239 --> 00:00:50,559
just kind of unsettling and I notic a lot of people don't like that I've even

13
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:53,719
seen some people not overclocking their 290s at all just because of how hot they

14
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:56,960
go you don't have to worry about that with the Trix card another reason why I

15
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:00,840
wanted to come to Sapphire was just to talk about their trick software we did a

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,119
water cooling update for 290 not that long ago where I couldn't really

17
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,680
overclock it that much because I didn't have any power to play with now with

18
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:11,040
their offsetting controls in tricks which they updated fairly recently you

19
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,680
can actually control offsets and overclock much more so I'm excited to

20
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:17,759
test that in the future thank you for watching our Sapphire content no matter
