00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:24,039
nc.com welcome to The Cooler Master Booth we're going to start with cases

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,400
here this right here is the elite 130

6
00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:31,359
which as you might have noticed is about 10 more than an elite 120 but actually

7
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:36,160
doesn't have appeared to have changed in size much extremely efficient use of

8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:41,480
space is the name of the game with these Elite mitx cases ow I put my finger in a

9
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,920
fan thank you very much my lovely assistant will help me take the front

10
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:49,760
bezel off so you might have noticed the key difference here is that the front

11
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:51,680
where we have this 120 mm cooling fan is

12
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:55,039
now completely open in terms of ventilation this is going to give you

13
00:00:52,840 --> 00:01:00,680
better cooling on the inside of the case also check this out fan rad fan hard

14
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:05,320
drive you can fit all of those in they're basically going to be right up

15
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:10,400
next to each other so the idea is that in addition to mounting ssds up here or

16
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:14,600
5 and a/4 inch here you can also Mount ssds I believe there was another spot

17
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:19,159
show me where they are yes under the 5 and a/4 inch Bays so you have a ton of

18
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:22,600
options in terms of drives the idea is you should be liquid cooling your CPU

19
00:01:21,159 --> 00:01:27,640
your power supply is going to have a bottom 120 millimet exhaust fan that

20
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:31,880
takes the air away from the CPU socket and takes it out of the case your

21
00:01:29,479 --> 00:01:38,119
graphics card and you can see they've got a radon 7990 in here just to prove a

22
00:01:35,479 --> 00:01:41,600
point just because we can the sides of the case have ventilation holes so it's

23
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,200
going to be able to suck fresh air directly from the inside it should be

24
00:01:43,479 --> 00:01:49,799
noted that it would be optimal to have a blower design graphics card but with the

25
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:54,439
way that graphics cards are outputting heat these days with these dual GPU

26
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:57,200
designs it's not always possible this

27
00:01:54,439 --> 00:02:00,320
right here is the cosmos SE or Cosmos mini or whatever you want to call it

28
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,320
there's not really that much Min about it so maybe that's why they decided to

29
00:02:01,759 --> 00:02:09,280
call it the SE it's still pretty big that's dual GTX 780s or Titan yeah that

30
00:02:06,119 --> 00:02:11,560
looks like 780s in there um and not only

31
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:16,920
that but check this out single 120 millim liquid cooler okay yawn

32
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:19,400
everything's got that dual 120 mm

33
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:26,080
radiator up in the top yawn sort of everyone's got that triple 120 mm liquid

34
00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:30,200
cooling Radiator in the front okay now you now you got my attention how about

35
00:02:27,879 --> 00:02:34,360
all of those at once as well as retaining support for at least one hard

36
00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:37,400
drive so many users are doing this these days where they're pulling out all the

37
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:40,080
drive cages you can see they're gone they're throwing in one hard drive

38
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:44,440
because that's basically all they need unless they get a NZ setup and there are

39
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:49,280
two hidden SSD mounts at the back it's got those same rigid carrying handles so

40
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:55,879
you can move this baby around with you as long as you have the ARM strength

41
00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:57,440
which unfortunately I do not the CM 693

42
00:02:55,879 --> 00:03:01,560
has made some evolutionary changes versus the last generation design so

43
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:05,519
number one check this out there's more room for graphics cards because some of

44
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:09,239
what would traditionally be three and a half inch hard drive cages has been

45
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,840
converted to 2 and 1/2 in which isn't to say that you wouldn't have the option to

46
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:17,840
go 3 and 1/2 in with them so there are four 2 and 1/2 in mounts here three 3

47
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:21,159
and a half inch mounts here and they've also made a kind of an interesting

48
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:25,680
change here check this out you can hide your wallet in there now no one will see

49
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,760
it they'll break into your house and they'll never find your wallet the bad

50
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:33,480
news is that if you have a ball or gaming machine like this probably going to steal your computer so they'll get

51
00:03:31,439 --> 00:03:38,400
your wallet anyway so so much for that idea right moving right along to the

52
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:42,519
silencio 352 this is based on the same chassis as the n200 which we've already

53
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,640
done an unboxing of the key difference here is that it's more optimized for

54
00:03:43,799 --> 00:03:48,720
silence so you've got a magnetic cover right here that allows you to close off

55
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:54,840
that don't worry the real one is going to have stronger magnets it's going to allow you to close off that top panel

56
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:58,560
noise damp in side panels as well as a fully blocked off front panel this does

57
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:02,319
prevent a lot of the noise from reaching the user and then you you can see right

58
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:05,400
here you can I'll just yeah whatever we'll just put that there we've got the

59
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:12,360
noise dampening material here as well as a removable front fan filter assembly

60
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,519
it's been a while since I've seen uh oh no those are 120 mil oh good I looked at

61
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:22,000
these I was like really you guys put like 92mm fans in this thing no they didn't awesome love it moving right

62
00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:26,360
along to the next category right along to cooling all-in-one coolers are really

63
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:32,039
evolving at a phenomenal rate it used to be that you got a thin radiator you got

64
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:36,479
a 20 mil radiator and you got no upgrade ability the iceberg is completely

65
00:04:34,479 --> 00:04:41,000
different from all of that so you've got a slightly thicker than the thinnest

66
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:44,680
ones that are out there 240 mil rad you've got the upgrade ability to do

67
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:50,800
pretty much whatever you want now these demos were supposed to have graphics cards on them because you can ultimately

68
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,919
plug in whichever fittings you feel like but unfortunately they didn't arrive in

69
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:58,919
time but what's really cool about this is the fact that these are designed for

70
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:02,560
ease of installation with a couple of pretty cool motherboard so that's the

71
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:06,320
Maximus 6 oh no that's the Maximus 5 formula but don't worry the Maximus 6 is

72
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:12,720
very similar and this one right here is the G1 sniper 5 so this is a custom gray

73
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:17,039
pre-done liquid cooler that I personally think is incredibly cool moving right

74
00:05:14,919 --> 00:05:22,440
along we've got this is neat this is the neptun

75
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:25,800
28040 so you can actually Mount either

76
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:27,960
140 mm or0 mm fans to it it's got two

77
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:32,880
full sets of mounting and because it uses a slightly thicker than normal

78
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:34,440
radiator as well as 38 in corrugated

79
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:38,680
tubing you're going to get the advantage of improved air flow more mass means

80
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:44,160
more cooling so this is definitely a good thing as well as the advantage of

81
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:47,039
having this corrugated tubing design that in spite of the fact that it

82
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:50,560
doesn't have quite the same Bend radius as some of the ones that have come into

83
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:54,199
fashion lately it is extremely good at preventing evaporation of the cooling

84
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:57,840
liquid so you don't have to worry about ever having to top it up now this guy

85
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:01,960
right here is a prototype this is a seiden 12d check that out there's a fan

86
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:07,560
in the Middle with two super slim radiators on either side and rather than

87
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:11,840
unlike the MCR stack implementation that swifttech tried a couple of years ago

88
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:15,360
this one it's actually integrated into one unit where the fan actually slides

89
00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:20,080
in between so you don't have to worry about any kind of fussy cabling or or

90
00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:24,240
tubing or anything like that the one disadvantage is the radiators are

91
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:27,840
running in seral as opposed to parallel which might amount to a little bit more

92
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:32,960
Flow Restriction but as long as the pump's designed to handle it we shouldn't be too worried about it so

93
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:38,720
this is the nepton 140 I showed you the 280 before so basically same idea 140 mm

94
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:45,680
radiator nice thick design and you can mount either a 120 mil or a 140 mil fan

95
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:48,080
to it the hyper 103 as well as the gem 2

96
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:52,479
mini this one right over here are both designed for applications where you

97
00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:56,560
might have stuff in the way for example these Riser power delivery pcbs that

98
00:06:54,759 --> 00:07:01,120
asusa started putting on their mitx boards or high-profile memory kits such

99
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:05,280
as is these hyperx Predators from Kingston last but not least over here

100
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:10,360
for cooling are the jet flow 120 mil fans they have an extremely linear

101
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:14,800
performance curve so they perform very well at almost any RPM and they have a

102
00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:19,120
very wide RPM range at which they can operate so anywhere from 800 to 2,000

103
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:22,680
RPM they come with a couple adapters they come with some LED lighting effects

104
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:28,479
and all that kind of cool stuff and it's pretty hard to go wrong now on to power

105
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:31,720
supplies so here's a neat little thing Cooler Master show going off now we're

106
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:36,720
going to go through some of the components here and we've got a fluid

107
00:07:34,039 --> 00:07:41,199
Dynamic bearing extremely quiet fan from prot Technic to give you guys some idea

108
00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:46,000
there's a very famous brand that's uh number one for power supplies in Germany

109
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:50,400
that uses this fan and uh they have a very good reputation for being extremely

110
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:54,240
silent so it's there you go there's that high quality components so there's a

111
00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:58,479
custom DC todc module there's Japanese solid capacitors which are basically

112
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:02,039
more expensive and better and developed for military and service great

113
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:07,039
applications Ultra flat modular Cable Systems all this is very cool but what

114
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:11,039
I'd like to really talk about is what's on these little displays right here so

115
00:08:08,759 --> 00:08:15,080
this is a Cooler Master power supply and this is competitor C and the hint is

116
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:18,840
that it's not competitor Cooler Master so it's going to have to be someone else

117
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:24,720
who starts with a C now here's a bit of a lesson about 80 plus 80 plus in its

118
00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:29,360
regular form its bronze form silver form gold form and platinum certification

119
00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:35,000
level only accounts for power supply efficiency at 20 50 and 80% load and

120
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:39,080
100% low cap crap I can't remember whatever don't worry about it it

121
00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:44,920
accounts for power supply efficiency down to 20% load but it doesn't go any

122
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:49,320
lower than that so the specification can have power supplies that meet the

123
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:53,800
specification above 20% load but then drop off dramatically so what Cooler

124
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:58,399
Master has done with the v850 here is they have tuned it for excellent idle

125
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:02,920
power consumption so you can see here that with two ident icle systems started

126
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:07,880
at the same time idling at the desktop they are able to achieve idle power

127
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:11,079
consumption that is up to about they say once you actually get the desktop going

128
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:15,040
and open up like YouTube or something it's about a 20 watt difference but when

129
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:19,519
you're doing absolutely nothing it's up to about a seven eight n watt difference

130
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:23,959
between these two platforms to put that in perspective a fluorescent bulb is

131
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:27,480
going to draw about 13 Watts so it's pretty much like having an extra light

132
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:30,600
on in your house at all times when you have your computer running if you don't

133
00:09:28,959 --> 00:09:34,000
have a power supply that's efficient at low loads especially when you consider

134
00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:39,040
that I mean these are high performance gaming machines these are core i7s these

135
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:42,959
are new Haswell platforms these look like GTX 680 Lightnings at the very

136
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:47,519
least they're some kind of lightning edition card but even a high performance

137
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:51,079
computer now is capable of idling at very low power consumption numbers and

138
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:54,600
let's face it even if you have an extreme gaming rig you're not playing

139
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:58,000
games all the time so you shouldn't be ignoring your idle power consumption so

140
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:03,120
this was a really cool demo in cooler Master's Booth I think we're pretty much wrapped up here don't forget guys we're

141
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:08,200
powered at the show this year by Western Digital Corsair Vengeance gaming
