WEBVTT

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

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:12.990
Origin sponsored this video so I could unbox the Arachnid or rather uncrate.

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

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:24.560
is probably just a bunch of accessories for our computer.

00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:31.679
For anyone who's afraid of spiders, you might want to avert your gaze because uh

00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:33.840
it's the arachnid. That's

00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:37.920
Wow. Not just one reservoir, but two. Because

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

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:47.120
prefer 420, but that's, you know, it's okay. They're still pretty performant.

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

00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:57.920
wasn't pretty obvious. But it's kind of a statement piece. However, it is about

00:00:53.520 --> 00:01:01.120
21 1/2 in long, 27 in high, and 16 in

00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:04.080
wide. And without any parts or water,

00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:07.760
it's 27 I'm pretty sure ours is a lot heavier

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

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

00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:25.200
that, this thing's using like an HX1200 power supply from Corsair. It's also got

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:26.960
some really nice RAM, 96 gigs at 6,000

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:32.159
mega transfers per second, and it's all on a nice Asus X870E crosshair

00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:35.680
motherboard. So, while this entire thing is very expensive, we'll get to the

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:39.920
price later, a lot of that is just straight up going to parts. It's about

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

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:48.240
an expensive motherboard, you do get a ton of really good IO. We've got a

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

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,

00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:01.680
and a couple of USBA ports. In terms of construction quality, it's actually

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

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

00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.920
minor complaint. I do wish these tubes were like a little more flat. It would

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

00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:24.080
longer pipe fitting here so that this comes out straighter and then this can

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

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:32.000
just these little minor details that I would love just a tiny tiny bit more

00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:35.200
attention to detail there. Especially when you're paying a lot of money. We'll

00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:40.160
get to the price later, but it is expensive and a big part of that is

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:44.080
paying for the custom tubing. While our unit looks the way it does, Origin is

00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:47.680
allegedly refining the design with two key improvements that should result in a

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:50.879
much cleaner build. Some fittings will be replaced with additional hard tube

00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:54.080
bends, and they're introducing an acrylic pass through block to eliminate

00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:58.160
side to side movement between the systems two sections. My only other

00:02:56.160 --> 00:03:02.239
minor complaint is I really wish this giant mesh, while great, I wish it had a

00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:06.080
little screen filter in here somewhere so I could just like slide a filter out

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

00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:15.519
to take apart all these bolts and have to get in there somehow. And what does

00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:17.360
it look like when I turn it on? Ooh,

00:03:15.519 --> 00:03:21.440
I like how the reservoirs at the front just kind of look like big eyes. And

00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:24.400
because it's Origin PC, it comes with a warranty. On their website, they've got

00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:27.760
a one-year parts warranty with a lifetime customer service warranty,

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

00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:35.519
accessory boxes I forgot about, we've got all of the cables for our power

00:03:32.799 --> 00:03:38.640
supply, which is fantastic. It looks like we've also got all of our

00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:43.840
motherboard stuff like our extra cables like SATA cables and whatnot. I actually

00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:45.599
don't even see where you'd plug these in

00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:49.040
because this thing like that's something I actually didn't even comment on was I

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:54.080
cannot see any cables anywhere except for like power cable, uh, graphics card

00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:58.480
cable. They've done a really good job of hiding everything with this like just

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

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

00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:10.879
specifically, and this is why having a warranty is good, you're probably going

00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:15.760
to notice that ours has some unfortunately exceptionally bad coil

00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:18.959
wine. Now, Origin did get back to us and

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

00:04:21.919 --> 00:04:27.280
impact performance or anything. And you know, you always just throw on some

00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:30.160
headphones. That actually did work really well. I can't hear anything

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:33.840
anymore. But of course, you shouldn't have to put on headphones just to kind

00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:38.080
of ignore some coil wine, it stinks regardless. And uh yeah, if you do get a

00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:42.400
unit like this, feel free to reach out to Origin PC. Fortunately, that doesn't

00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:46.080
detract from the performance. And while we do have a 9950X3D, I just want to

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

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

00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:59.199
gaming right now. Yeah, playing Cyberpunk is a fantastic experience.

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

00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:06.800
possibly get, especially with like 96 gigs of RAM. I'm going to just roll some

00:05:04.880 --> 00:05:11.039
numbers on screen here for you. But, uh, thanks to our testing, I can safely say

00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:14.560
that this is essentially the best 5090 we've tested cuz, yeah, it's water

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

00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:25.680
kind of the same story with our 9950X 3D. Yes, it is getting hot 100%. But,

00:05:23.440 --> 00:05:30.400
it's maintaining our clock speeds while doing so. And considering it's only a

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

00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:38.560
what our temps are like when it's not under extreme loads, like just a normal

00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:42.240
gaming load, uh, it's totally fine. Obviously, it's going to have IQ

00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:45.759
installed, but we've also got a few other random little tidbits like some

00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:49.280
wallpapers and whatnot. So, if you want a perfectly clean install, it's not

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,

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

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

00:06:01.039 --> 00:06:06.960
have seen some absolutely wild RGB

00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:09.840
creations uh using this software because you can just you just have so much

00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:14.720
control that you can do whatever you want to do. And we've got basically

00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:19.360
everything showing up here. IQ Link, IQ, our other IQ Link XD5 Elite, the

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

00:06:21.919 --> 00:06:30.560
link system hub, and then the elite LCD screen. Even our power supplies

00:06:25.840 --> 00:06:32.319
detected, but not our graphics card. And

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

00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:40.720
5090s, but I really wish that you'd been able to get some that were addressable

00:06:38.880 --> 00:06:44.240
with IQ. Instead, you've got to grab Gigabyte software and then match the

00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:49.759
graphics card to the rest of the system on your own. But I mean, you know,

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

00:06:52.080 --> 00:06:58.800
package that actually performs. But what about the price? Well, it's very

00:06:56.960 --> 00:07:03.759
expensive, at least for the one that we speced out. Uh, it's $9,300.

00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:07.840
However, I mean, look at the price of a 5090. Look at a 9950X3D.

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

00:07:12.080 --> 00:07:19.440
then all of the hardware for the custom liquid cooling. That's going to set you

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

00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:27.199
few reviews for these things before we shot the video, and everyone seems super

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

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

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

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

00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:46.080
differently on the website to get a lower price than that. And I don't know,

00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:50.319
maybe they'll eventually just sell the case in the future. Um, I kind of wish

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.

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

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

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

00:08:07.599 --> 00:08:13.599
RGB controller runs a little too hot. We've reached out to Origin and Corsair

00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:16.960
about that. Hopefully they get back to us by the time the video goes up. I

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

00:08:19.919 --> 00:08:26.000
it. Could just be our unit, but we got to let you know. Thanks again

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.720
to Origin for sponsoring this video. If you like ShortCircuit, keep watching

00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:32.959
Short Circuits and just, you know, watch more of them. Uh this is the Arachnid.

00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.200
It's pretty sick. I wish I could take it home with
