1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,440
I was walking by the set and I saw this crate and that's when Belle told me that

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:12,990
Origin sponsored this video so I could unbox the Arachnid or rather uncrate.

3
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:19,840
Our computer's in here, but uh we've got some eat, sleep, game, and repeat. This

4
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:24,560
is probably just a bunch of accessories for our computer.

5
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:31,679
For anyone who's afraid of spiders, you might want to avert your gaze because uh

6
00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:33,840
it's the arachnid. That's

7
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:37,920
Wow. Not just one reservoir, but two. Because

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:43,520
our CPU and GPU are both on their own loops with a 360 mm rad for each. I

9
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,120
prefer 420, but that's, you know, it's okay. They're still pretty performant.

10
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,879
It's pretty big and it is going to take up some of the room on your desk if that

11
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:57,920
wasn't pretty obvious. But it's kind of a statement piece. However, it is about

12
00:00:53,520 --> 00:01:01,120
21 1/2 in long, 27 in high, and 16 in

13
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:04,080
wide. And without any parts or water,

14
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:07,760
it's 27 I'm pretty sure ours is a lot heavier

15
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:13,280
now that it's filled with water and has an RTX 5090 as well as a Ryzen 9 9950X

16
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:19,520
3D. Both of which are actually really going to need their own separate loops cuz they run hot. Um, and on top of

17
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:25,200
that, this thing's using like an HX1200 power supply from Corsair. It's also got

18
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,960
some really nice RAM, 96 gigs at 6,000

19
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:32,159
mega transfers per second, and it's all on a nice Asus X870E crosshair

20
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:35,680
motherboard. So, while this entire thing is very expensive, we'll get to the

21
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:39,920
price later, a lot of that is just straight up going to parts. It's about

22
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:44,240
as high-end as you can get, uh, at least in terms of like a gaming PC. And with

23
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:48,240
an expensive motherboard, you do get a ton of really good IO. We've got a

24
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:53,759
couple of USBC ports, and then a bunch of USBA ports, 5 gig and two and a half

25
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:58,399
gig LAN along with Wi-Fi 7. And on the front, we've got a headphone jack, USBC,

26
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:01,680
and a couple of USBA ports. In terms of construction quality, it's actually

27
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:06,880
pretty solid. Uh, we're using a bunch of Corsair parts with 14 mm tubes, a bunch

28
00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:11,920
of right angle connectors, and a nice IQ block on our CPU. I do have one kind of

29
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,920
minor complaint. I do wish these tubes were like a little more flat. It would

30
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:20,560
take a little more work. They'd have to extend these guys out more. Then add a

31
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:24,080
longer pipe fitting here so that this comes out straighter and then this can

32
00:02:22,239 --> 00:02:28,480
come out more or something. I'm not entirely sure how to fix it, but uh it's

33
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:32,000
just these little minor details that I would love just a tiny tiny bit more

34
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,200
attention to detail there. Especially when you're paying a lot of money. We'll

35
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:40,160
get to the price later, but it is expensive and a big part of that is

36
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:44,080
paying for the custom tubing. While our unit looks the way it does, Origin is

37
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:47,680
allegedly refining the design with two key improvements that should result in a

38
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,879
much cleaner build. Some fittings will be replaced with additional hard tube

39
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,080
bends, and they're introducing an acrylic pass through block to eliminate

40
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:58,160
side to side movement between the systems two sections. My only other

41
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:02,239
minor complaint is I really wish this giant mesh, while great, I wish it had a

42
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:06,080
little screen filter in here somewhere so I could just like slide a filter out

43
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,080
to fix any dust that's going to inevitably end up in here. I don't want

44
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:15,519
to take apart all these bolts and have to get in there somehow. And what does

45
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:17,360
it look like when I turn it on? Ooh,

46
00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:21,440
I like how the reservoirs at the front just kind of look like big eyes. And

47
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:24,400
because it's Origin PC, it comes with a warranty. On their website, they've got

48
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:27,760
a one-year parts warranty with a lifetime customer service warranty,

49
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,200
which is nice if you don't want to fix this yourself. And as for the two

50
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:35,519
accessory boxes I forgot about, we've got all of the cables for our power

51
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:38,640
supply, which is fantastic. It looks like we've also got all of our

52
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:43,840
motherboard stuff like our extra cables like SATA cables and whatnot. I actually

53
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:45,599
don't even see where you'd plug these in

54
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:49,040
because this thing like that's something I actually didn't even comment on was I

55
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:54,080
cannot see any cables anywhere except for like power cable, uh, graphics card

56
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:58,480
cable. They've done a really good job of hiding everything with this like just

57
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,680
case. But, you know, I can't wait to plug a display into this thing and game

58
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:07,200
on it. So, let's go. Okay, we've got it fired up and we're going to play some Cyberpunk. But one problem with our unit

59
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,879
specifically, and this is why having a warranty is good, you're probably going

60
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:15,760
to notice that ours has some unfortunately exceptionally bad coil

61
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:18,959
wine. Now, Origin did get back to us and

62
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:24,000
they're expanding their use of acoustic screening on the arachnid to help mitigate the noise. However, that won't

63
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:27,280
impact performance or anything. And you know, you always just throw on some

64
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,160
headphones. That actually did work really well. I can't hear anything

65
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:33,840
anymore. But of course, you shouldn't have to put on headphones just to kind

66
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:38,080
of ignore some coil wine, it stinks regardless. And uh yeah, if you do get a

67
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:42,400
unit like this, feel free to reach out to Origin PC. Fortunately, that doesn't

68
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:46,080
detract from the performance. And while we do have a 9950X3D, I just want to

69
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:50,960
take a quick moment to say that you can get this in Intel with a Core Ultra 9 if

70
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:54,000
you wanted to. Um I don't want to cuz AMD is crushing it when it comes to

71
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:59,199
gaming right now. Yeah, playing Cyberpunk is a fantastic experience.

72
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:03,199
It's a 5090 and a 9950X 3D. That's basically as high-end as you can

73
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,800
possibly get, especially with like 96 gigs of RAM. I'm going to just roll some

74
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:11,039
numbers on screen here for you. But, uh, thanks to our testing, I can safely say

75
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:14,560
that this is essentially the best 5090 we've tested cuz, yeah, it's water

76
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:18,880
blocked, so it's just going to hit those boost clocks and stay there. And it was

77
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:25,680
kind of the same story with our 9950X 3D. Yes, it is getting hot 100%. But,

78
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:30,400
it's maintaining our clock speeds while doing so. And considering it's only a

79
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:33,759
360 mil rad, I think it's doing a really good job. And then if you want to see

80
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:38,560
what our temps are like when it's not under extreme loads, like just a normal

81
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:42,240
gaming load, uh, it's totally fine. Obviously, it's going to have IQ

82
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:45,759
installed, but we've also got a few other random little tidbits like some

83
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:49,280
wallpapers and whatnot. So, if you want a perfectly clean install, it's not

84
00:05:47,919 --> 00:05:55,600
quite that, but it's really close. And they've got essentially no real bloatware on this thing. On top of that,

85
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:59,280
you know, with IQ, you're able to do pretty much whatever you want. Like, I'm

86
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:04,400
not personally an IQ guy cuz I don't go and tinker with a ton of stuff, but I

87
00:06:01,039 --> 00:06:06,960
have seen some absolutely wild RGB

88
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,840
creations uh using this software because you can just you just have so much

89
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:14,720
control that you can do whatever you want to do. And we've got basically

90
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:19,360
everything showing up here. IQ Link, IQ, our other IQ Link XD5 Elite, the

91
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:24,240
Arachnid. I love how it's got its own custom thing here. uh all our fans, IQ

92
00:06:21,919 --> 00:06:30,560
link system hub, and then the elite LCD screen. Even our power supplies

93
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:32,319
detected, but not our graphics card. And

94
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:36,400
Origin, it's my one and only complaint. I get that you probably only got so many

95
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:40,720
5090s, but I really wish that you'd been able to get some that were addressable

96
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:44,240
with IQ. Instead, you've got to grab Gigabyte software and then match the

97
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:49,759
graphics card to the rest of the system on your own. But I mean, you know,

98
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:55,039
it's one of the more covered up parts, so that's okay. It's a pretty sick

99
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:58,800
package that actually performs. But what about the price? Well, it's very

100
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:03,759
expensive, at least for the one that we speced out. Uh, it's $9,300.

101
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:07,840
However, I mean, look at the price of a 5090. Look at a 9950X3D.

102
00:07:06,479 --> 00:07:14,560
And then you add in the motherboard that we've got cuz it's a pretty top- end motherboard. 96 gigs of RAM. Um, and

103
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:19,440
then all of the hardware for the custom liquid cooling. That's going to set you

104
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:22,720
back a ton of money, even if you tried to do this all yourself. We looked up a

105
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:27,199
few reviews for these things before we shot the video, and everyone seems super

106
00:07:24,479 --> 00:07:30,720
happy, at least so far. So, I don't think that you're going to get steered

107
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:34,400
wrong if this is what you're after. They've also got like a cool uh custom

108
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:38,400
UV face plate as well. We've just got the black one, which I'm This is why

109
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:42,720
Arjent sent us the cool UV print thing. It looks awesome. They look really cool on the website. You can spec yours

110
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:46,080
differently on the website to get a lower price than that. And I don't know,

111
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:50,319
maybe they'll eventually just sell the case in the future. Um, I kind of wish

112
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:56,080
they would. I think it's a super cool idea and it's a very striking design.

113
00:07:53,360 --> 00:08:00,639
Um, like this thing just looks sick. I don't know how else to put it. It looks

114
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:04,479
super cool. And my only wish right now is to change all of the RGB and whatnot

115
00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:10,400
to make it blue, which I can do. It's in the power of my hands. And one other minor complaint we've got is that our

116
00:08:07,599 --> 00:08:13,599
RGB controller runs a little too hot. We've reached out to Origin and Corsair

117
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,960
about that. Hopefully they get back to us by the time the video goes up. I

118
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:22,400
don't know what the solution is. Move it maybe. Not 100% sure, but we did notice

119
00:08:19,919 --> 00:08:26,000
it. Could just be our unit, but we got to let you know. Thanks again

120
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,720
to Origin for sponsoring this video. If you like ShortCircuit, keep watching

121
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,959
Short Circuits and just, you know, watch more of them. Uh this is the Arachnid.

122
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,200
It's pretty sick. I wish I could take it home with
