00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:24.039
nc.com welcome to The Cooler Master Booth we're going to start with cases

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:26.400
here this right here is the elite 130

00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:31.359
which as you might have noticed is about 10 more than an elite 120 but actually

00:00:29.080 --> 00:00:36.160
doesn't have appeared to have changed in size much extremely efficient use of

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

00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:44.920
fan thank you very much my lovely assistant will help me take the front

00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:49.760
bezel off so you might have noticed the key difference here is that the front

00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:51.680
where we have this 120 mm cooling fan is

00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:55.039
now completely open in terms of ventilation this is going to give you

00:00:52.840 --> 00:01:00.680
better cooling on the inside of the case also check this out fan rad fan hard

00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:05.320
drive you can fit all of those in they're basically going to be right up

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

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

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

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:22.600
options in terms of drives the idea is you should be liquid cooling your CPU

00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:27.640
your power supply is going to have a bottom 120 millimet exhaust fan that

00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:31.880
takes the air away from the CPU socket and takes it out of the case your

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

00:01:35.479 --> 00:01:41.600
point just because we can the sides of the case have ventilation holes so it's

00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:45.200
going to be able to suck fresh air directly from the inside it should be

00:01:43.479 --> 00:01:49.799
noted that it would be optimal to have a blower design graphics card but with the

00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:54.439
way that graphics cards are outputting heat these days with these dual GPU

00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:57.200
designs it's not always possible this

00:01:54.439 --> 00:02:00.320
right here is the cosmos SE or Cosmos mini or whatever you want to call it

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

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

00:02:06.119 --> 00:02:11.560
looks like 780s in there um and not only

00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:16.920
that but check this out single 120 millim liquid cooler okay yawn

00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:19.400
everything's got that dual 120 mm

00:02:16.920 --> 00:02:26.080
radiator up in the top yawn sort of everyone's got that triple 120 mm liquid

00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:30.200
cooling Radiator in the front okay now you now you got my attention how about

00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:34.360
all of those at once as well as retaining support for at least one hard

00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:37.400
drive so many users are doing this these days where they're pulling out all the

00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:40.080
drive cages you can see they're gone they're throwing in one hard drive

00:02:38.959 --> 00:02:44.440
because that's basically all they need unless they get a NZ setup and there are

00:02:42.040 --> 00:02:49.280
two hidden SSD mounts at the back it's got those same rigid carrying handles so

00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:55.879
you can move this baby around with you as long as you have the ARM strength

00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:57.440
which unfortunately I do not the CM 693

00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:01.560
has made some evolutionary changes versus the last generation design so

00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:05.519
number one check this out there's more room for graphics cards because some of

00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:09.239
what would traditionally be three and a half inch hard drive cages has been

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

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

00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:21.159
and a half inch mounts here and they've also made a kind of an interesting

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

00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:28.760
it they'll break into your house and they'll never find your wallet the bad

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

00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:38.400
your wallet anyway so so much for that idea right moving right along to the

00:03:35.720 --> 00:03:42.519
silencio 352 this is based on the same chassis as the n200 which we've already

00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:45.640
done an unboxing of the key difference here is that it's more optimized for

00:03:43.799 --> 00:03:48.720
silence so you've got a magnetic cover right here that allows you to close off

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

00:03:51.920 --> 00:03:58.560
noise damp in side panels as well as a fully blocked off front panel this does

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

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

00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:12.360
noise dampening material here as well as a removable front fan filter assembly

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

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

00:04:20.280 --> 00:04:26.360
along to the next category right along to cooling all-in-one coolers are really

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

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:36.479
a 20 mil radiator and you got no upgrade ability the iceberg is completely

00:04:34.479 --> 00:04:41.000
different from all of that so you've got a slightly thicker than the thinnest

00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:44.680
ones that are out there 240 mil rad you've got the upgrade ability to do

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

00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:53.919
plug in whichever fittings you feel like but unfortunately they didn't arrive in

00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:58.919
time but what's really cool about this is the fact that these are designed for

00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:02.560
ease of installation with a couple of pretty cool motherboard so that's the

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

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

00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:17.039
pre-done liquid cooler that I personally think is incredibly cool moving right

00:05:14.919 --> 00:05:22.440
along we've got this is neat this is the neptun

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:25.800
28040 so you can actually Mount either

00:05:22.440 --> 00:05:27.960
140 mm or0 mm fans to it it's got two

00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:32.880
full sets of mounting and because it uses a slightly thicker than normal

00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:34.440
radiator as well as 38 in corrugated

00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:38.680
tubing you're going to get the advantage of improved air flow more mass means

00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:44.160
more cooling so this is definitely a good thing as well as the advantage of

00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:47.039
having this corrugated tubing design that in spite of the fact that it

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

00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:54.199
fashion lately it is extremely good at preventing evaporation of the cooling

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

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

00:05:59.880 --> 00:06:07.560
in the Middle with two super slim radiators on either side and rather than

00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:11.840
unlike the MCR stack implementation that swifttech tried a couple of years ago

00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:15.360
this one it's actually integrated into one unit where the fan actually slides

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

00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:24.240
tubing or anything like that the one disadvantage is the radiators are

00:06:21.840 --> 00:06:27.840
running in seral as opposed to parallel which might amount to a little bit more

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

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

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

00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:48.080
to it the hyper 103 as well as the gem 2

00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:52.479
mini this one right over here are both designed for applications where you

00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:56.560
might have stuff in the way for example these Riser power delivery pcbs that

00:06:54.759 --> 00:07:01.120
asusa started putting on their mitx boards or high-profile memory kits such

00:06:59.280 --> 00:07:05.280
as is these hyperx Predators from Kingston last but not least over here

00:07:03.080 --> 00:07:10.360
for cooling are the jet flow 120 mil fans they have an extremely linear

00:07:08.440 --> 00:07:14.800
performance curve so they perform very well at almost any RPM and they have a

00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:19.120
very wide RPM range at which they can operate so anywhere from 800 to 2,000

00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:22.680
RPM they come with a couple adapters they come with some LED lighting effects

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

00:07:26.440 --> 00:07:31.720
supplies so here's a neat little thing Cooler Master show going off now we're

00:07:30.520 --> 00:07:36.720
going to go through some of the components here and we've got a fluid

00:07:34.039 --> 00:07:41.199
Dynamic bearing extremely quiet fan from prot Technic to give you guys some idea

00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:46.000
there's a very famous brand that's uh number one for power supplies in Germany

00:07:43.280 --> 00:07:50.400
that uses this fan and uh they have a very good reputation for being extremely

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

00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:58.479
custom DC todc module there's Japanese solid capacitors which are basically

00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:02.039
more expensive and better and developed for military and service great

00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:07.039
applications Ultra flat modular Cable Systems all this is very cool but what

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

00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:15.080
this is a Cooler Master power supply and this is competitor C and the hint is

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

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

00:08:21.919 --> 00:08:29.360
regular form its bronze form silver form gold form and platinum certification

00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:35.000
level only accounts for power supply efficiency at 20 50 and 80% load and

00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:39.080
100% low cap crap I can't remember whatever don't worry about it it

00:08:36.479 --> 00:08:44.920
accounts for power supply efficiency down to 20% load but it doesn't go any

00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:49.320
lower than that so the specification can have power supplies that meet the

00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:53.800
specification above 20% load but then drop off dramatically so what Cooler

00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:58.399
Master has done with the v850 here is they have tuned it for excellent idle

00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:02.920
power consumption so you can see here that with two ident icle systems started

00:09:00.800 --> 00:09:07.880
at the same time idling at the desktop they are able to achieve idle power

00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:11.079
consumption that is up to about they say once you actually get the desktop going

00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:15.040
and open up like YouTube or something it's about a 20 watt difference but when

00:09:12.920 --> 00:09:19.519
you're doing absolutely nothing it's up to about a seven eight n watt difference

00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:23.959
between these two platforms to put that in perspective a fluorescent bulb is

00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:27.480
going to draw about 13 Watts so it's pretty much like having an extra light

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

00:09:28.959 --> 00:09:34.000
have a power supply that's efficient at low loads especially when you consider

00:09:32.680 --> 00:09:39.040
that I mean these are high performance gaming machines these are core i7s these

00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:42.959
are new Haswell platforms these look like GTX 680 Lightnings at the very

00:09:41.800 --> 00:09:47.519
least they're some kind of lightning edition card but even a high performance

00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:51.079
computer now is capable of idling at very low power consumption numbers and

00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:54.600
let's face it even if you have an extreme gaming rig you're not playing

00:09:52.640 --> 00:09:58.000
games all the time so you shouldn't be ignoring your idle power consumption so

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
