thanks to Corsair for sponsoring our computex 2018 coverage check out their
new hs70 gaming headsets at the link below
it's getting to the point where i don't even know what to say about RGB anymore
but Corsair has kicked it up yet another notch with what they're calling
iq a Corsair interface
they're taking everything that was good about link and q so those were their individual
softwares for your internal components and your peripherals and they're putting
them all together as more of like a complete system
software suite that can monitor your system temperatures and your clock
speeds it can adjust your RGB animations it can synchronize animations between
the inside and the outside of your system and they've got it working with a
whopping 1649
skus now most of them are Corsair but some of the components do have
compatibility across platform like these all new vengeance RGB pro dims and they
are currently working with partners like Gigabyte MSI and ASUS to improve
intercompatibility across the various RGB ecosystems
some of the coolest things you can do with iq because it's more than just
lighting control are setting up profiles
so say for example when you're at your desktop you can have like a kind of
mellow color shifty thing going on when you fire up a game you can have full RGB
circus mode light up and then best of all when you do something like
launch a movie you can have all of your RGB lighting turn off so that it's not
distracting in the slightest and because it controls your system fans as well you
can even have all of your fans either go to a very low RPM for a near silent
operation or even turn off entirely so
that nothing interrupts your movie watching experience but don't imagine
that this kind of customization comes cheap the system that we're looking at
here in their newly launched 1000d so
this is a close relative to the concept
slate that we actually did a dual system build in not that long ago the main
difference being that it's got flat tempered glass on the front instead of
curved will cost you well in excess of 1
000 us dollars this system right here to
control the 20 Corsair light loop fans which are worth
800 plus us dollars on their own requires
four of their commander pro control modules
wow and that's not even including extras like their RGB strips or their vengeance
RGB pro memory now if you guys are into RGB memory this is looking like a pretty
significant advancement so they've got a bunch of the pre-canned animations on
display here but the main advantage compared to competitors like g-skills
tridency RGB is that they've got 10 leds
per module which at this time cannot be individually adjusted within the
software but on a hardware level are individually addressable so you can do
all kinds of complex animations like this one that's like an RGB rotating
clock thing and their software configuration which is more advanced
than stuff we've seen in the past including the ability to depending on
your motherboard layout adjust things like which dim is in which slot and
which orientation is each dimm in so some motherboards have the dimms kind of
all going this way and then some have them like this way on either side of the
CPU socket so this allows us to just hit one button here to reverse the direction
and now all of a sudden our animation is running in the same direction on each
dim instead of being in opposite directions this video like many others
here computex 2018 is brought to you by Corsair's hs70 it's their new wireless
headset that features comfy cushiony earcups a removable microphone and up to
16 hours of wireless battery life which
i guess oh it's playing in my ears does it have
it's got a volume control knob on the back what am i listening to
these guys know how to do a demo you got that music playing in there
all right so thanks for watching guys don't miss any of our computex 2018
coverage by getting subscribed we will see you at the next booth
no no i leave the camera doesn't leave out
