the Intel xtreme rig challenge is back
and more extreme than ever nine of the world's extreme s system builders are
squaring off to build the most uh shoot what's the word i'm looking for
that's the one the most extreme gaming
rigs in the history of extremity but wait it gets extreme
okay that's enough of that but seriously you yes you have a chance to win the
winning rig just by voting you vote then
a system wins then you win the system that one it's literally a win-win
situation the contestants have already started building and have each uploaded
their own build blog videos revealing just how extreme sorry insane
just barely caught myself there these builds are going to be
cyber power has returned from the future and brought with them a spherical and
transparent inwin win bot case equipped
with voice commands and facial recognition i personally cannot wait to
see how they customize this thing i really hope they call it the powerball
cause you know you might win it meanwhile big things are happening at
the zydax hq where once again the team is thinking completely outside or at
least on top of the box they're using
two pc-011 cases mounted together with
custom glass and a metric crap ton of
radiators now this is what we expect from an extreme rig oh i did it again
and in a less alien but equally daring move main gear has opted to use their
new f-131 case with an apex fully
integrated water cooling system that they engineered at the same time they
designed it now obviously it looks
awesome but there's a tricky part the f-131 is a
medium-sized matx chassis that the team is going to have to modify in order to
squeeze in the full atx ASUS rog strix
x299 xe gaming motherboard that is one of the secret ingredients in this year's
showdown it's probably worth the effort though i mean how else would they get
aura sync RGB lighting with an all-new addressable RGB header a supreme fx
sound card for the flattest of frequency responses and a metal frame to support
the heavy-duty gpus that we expect to see the competitors load into their rigs
when they release their future build logs so in the next batch of vlogs the
competitors will be showing off the cooling systems that they'll be using
for the Intel core i9 extreme edition processor that'll power each rig this
puppy has Intel turbo boost max technology 3.0 and 44 PCIe lanes for
mega scalability and then finally in the third wave of build logs the teams will
be highlighting their peripherals their RAM which i assume will be RGB and the
Intel optane 900p SSD that they'll be
using this is Intel's fastest NVMe drive featuring 3d cross point technology for
incredibly low and consistent latency so stay tuned and remember that you yes you
the mere mortal out there actually have a chance to own the winning rig just by
