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

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:11.599
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western

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

00:00:14.719 --> 00:00:19.400
the R9 290 with its Trix cooler on there

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:22.480
that was released a little bit before Christmas and now I haven't seen this in

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.960
real life yet and it's actually really exciting compared to a reference card

00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:29.240
it's got a beastly cooler with five really big copper heat pipes running

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

00:00:32.599 --> 00:00:38.320
card floats at around 70 something degrees in comparison to a stock card

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

00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:47.399
removes that scary feeling that your card's sitting at almost 100° which is

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

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:53.719
seen some people not overclocking their 290s at all just because of how hot they

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

00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:00.840
wanted to come to Sapphire was just to talk about their trick software we did a

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:04.119
water cooling update for 290 not that long ago where I couldn't really

00:01:02.440 --> 00:01:07.680
overclock it that much because I didn't have any power to play with now with

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:11.040
their offsetting controls in tricks which they updated fairly recently you

00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:14.680
can actually control offsets and overclock much more so I'm excited to

00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:17.759
test that in the future thank you for watching our Sapphire content no matter
