1 00:00:00,330 --> 00:00:04,813 - ORIGIN PC sent over a crate, a supply crate, if you will. 2 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,163 Uh. Yeah, there we go. 3 00:00:11,187 --> 00:00:13,520 (box thuds) 4 00:00:15,270 --> 00:00:18,560 Video games are a lie. I mean maybe I'm just not hitting it 5 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:25,889 at the right angles or something. It should just be like flying apart and I should get, I don't know, energy cells or... 6 00:00:25,889 --> 00:00:28,653 - [Jono] Ammo. - Ammo. Med kit. 7 00:00:29,620 --> 00:00:33,870 (wood clatters to floor) How do I get this out now? Do I have to tip it, I guess? 8 00:00:33,870 --> 00:00:35,020 This packaging, though. 9 00:00:37,537 --> 00:00:41,360 (Anthony grunts) Get out. Wow, that's a tight fit. 10 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,423 This is the Chronos 2020, according to this. 11 00:00:46,470 --> 00:00:50,610 All right. Let's dig deeper. Thank you for choosing ORIGIN PC. 12 00:00:50,610 --> 00:00:53,610 Well, ORIGIN PC, you chose us today. 13 00:00:53,610 --> 00:00:57,950 So thank you. Get a nice mouse pad, as usual. 14 00:00:57,950 --> 00:01:02,190 Ours is bigger. Oh, yeah. So this is the stuff out of the power supply, 15 00:01:02,190 --> 00:01:06,700 and probably also the motherboard box. Got ZOTAC gaming stuff in there. 16 00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:10,991 This is the main event. Time to get this thing outta the package. 17 00:01:10,991 --> 00:01:16,380 What is this? This is weird. It's got like, it's like it's got underwear. 18 00:01:16,380 --> 00:01:19,440 It's stretchy and stuff. That's cool. 19 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,230 You ever wanted clothing for your PC? We should do PC clothing. 20 00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:29,210 So this is the ORIGIN PC Chronos. Is there anything special, like what model number it is? 21 00:01:29,210 --> 00:01:32,210 Or is it just Chronos. - [Jono] It's just a customized system. 22 00:01:32,210 --> 00:01:36,190 - Okay, so the base model doesn't seem like it's that great a deal, but I don't think they expect you 23 00:01:36,190 --> 00:01:39,370 to buy the base model anyway. This is all about customization. 24 00:01:39,370 --> 00:01:43,240 So if you wanna bump up the spec on one thing or another, then you can. 25 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,910 The base price is just kind of the base of what you can get. 26 00:01:46,910 --> 00:01:50,897 I just hit the BIOS clear button. That's great. 27 00:01:50,897 --> 00:01:54,420 (Anthony chuckles nervously) So I'm looking at this 28 00:01:54,420 --> 00:01:58,980 and I don't see a way in without taking screws out. So I'm gonna start taking screws out. 29 00:01:58,980 --> 00:02:03,310 Ah, there we go. That just pops right off like that. 30 00:02:05,130 --> 00:02:08,270 That is a dual 120-millimeter rad, 31 00:02:08,270 --> 00:02:10,083 so a 240, I think that is. 32 00:02:11,590 --> 00:02:14,769 And in order to get underneath that, I'm gonna have to take these screws out. 33 00:02:14,769 --> 00:02:18,840 (drill whirs) That's interesting. This is a really compact little build. 34 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,639 Oh, that power supply is tiny. That's a 750 watt? 35 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,680 What GPU is this? - [Jono] A 3080ti. 36 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,876 - What CPU is this? 12900K. 37 00:02:29,876 --> 00:02:36,910 (Anthony sighs) Okay. So I don't know how much people watch "LTT" 38 00:02:36,910 --> 00:02:44,700 and "ShortCircuit", but the 12900K is a CPU that can draw up 260 watts-plus on its own, 39 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:50,620 especially considering, as a K-series SKU, it has no turbo limit, so it'll just keep going 40 00:02:50,620 --> 00:02:56,910 for as long as it needs to. The 3080ti, I think it'll do like 300-ish, 41 00:02:57,590 --> 00:03:02,220 400 watts all day long. But it can spike a lot, 42 00:03:02,220 --> 00:03:08,300 like instantaneous readings can go as high as 700-ish-plus watts. 43 00:03:08,300 --> 00:03:13,290 So I'm a little concerned about that, Jono. - [Jono] You can change it out. 44 00:03:13,290 --> 00:03:16,920 - Right, you can change it out, and that is fully supported by the warranty, 45 00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:21,640 which I think is a year. They tell us, though, that it's gonna work just fine. 46 00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:24,313 Yeah, the overall build quality is pretty good. 47 00:03:25,210 --> 00:03:30,240 For something so tiny, considering the fact that this is a commercial product 48 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,543 and not something that somebody has put together for themselves, it's pretty tight. 49 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,400 - [Jono] The 3080ti has a sustained max power of 350 watts. 50 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,410 - 350 watts sustained, yeah. That's about what I figured. 51 00:03:44,410 --> 00:03:49,410 So we're gonna have to hit it with some pretty heavy loads 52 00:03:50,010 --> 00:03:54,080 and see if ORIGIN PC can be trusted or if you're gonna have to find 53 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,390 some other small form factor power supply. It's actually gonna be a bit of an issue 54 00:03:58,390 --> 00:04:05,420 to find a power supply that is powerful enough to just do all of that, while also fitting in here. 55 00:04:05,420 --> 00:04:08,540 Got a nice fan filter on the bottom here, as well, 56 00:04:08,540 --> 00:04:12,790 easy to remove and clean. These meshes, these mesh panels, 57 00:04:12,790 --> 00:04:16,910 also going to be pretty easy to clean, and they will make it much easier 58 00:04:16,910 --> 00:04:22,610 for the system to breathe. It shouldn't be very loud. With that being said, I guess now is a good time 59 00:04:22,610 --> 00:04:25,013 to fire it up. Let's power it up. 60 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,930 Uh-oh. Uh, there we go. 61 00:04:29,930 --> 00:04:33,710 You know, I know people don't like the look of mesh 62 00:04:33,710 --> 00:04:37,870 as much as they do tempered glass, but I kinda to like the look of mesh. 63 00:04:37,870 --> 00:04:41,910 I missed the BIOS. I was gonna go in, see if I wrecked it. 64 00:04:41,910 --> 00:04:46,910 But since I did not get a, "The CMOS settings are gone," 65 00:04:47,020 --> 00:04:51,290 I'm going to go ahead and assume that I did not, in fact, wreck the BIOS settings. 66 00:04:51,290 --> 00:04:53,903 Ooh. Is this the default? 67 00:04:54,770 --> 00:04:58,600 So our idle temperatures, I mean we haven't really been running for very long, 68 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:03,600 but looks like 21 degrees, 24 degrees, 69 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,960 somewhere around there. Apparently the minimum temperature, at one point, 70 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,943 was zero degrees, so that was a glitch. 71 00:05:11,730 --> 00:05:17,320 Oh, wait, no. A bunch of them are just dropping out and showing zero degrees from time to time. 72 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:22,293 Just gonna burn this thing and see what happens. What's your bet on what's gonna happen, Jono? 73 00:05:22,293 --> 00:05:27,131 Do you think this thing's just gonna shut down? Do you think it's gonna throttle? - [Jono] I think it'll be just fine. 74 00:05:27,131 --> 00:05:31,220 - Think it'll be fine? You got confidence in ORIGIN PC? 75 00:05:31,220 --> 00:05:34,903 GPU stress tests, go. Prime95. 76 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,130 - [Jono] Wait, you're doing both? - Oh, yeah. Okay the CPU package is at 90-ish degrees. 77 00:05:41,130 --> 00:05:43,383 Okay, 96, 97. 78 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:49,000 Okay, it's not going any higher, yet. All right, so we're at 338 watts 79 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:55,620 for the GPU, and the CPU, we're drawing 280-ish watts. 80 00:05:55,620 --> 00:06:00,060 We went up to as high as 301. So it's currently thermal throttling. 81 00:06:00,060 --> 00:06:04,420 That's why it's at around 280 and not 300. You can hear those fans ramping up. 82 00:06:04,420 --> 00:06:11,370 They should've ramped up much sooner, but probably what's going on is it didn't do that 83 00:06:11,370 --> 00:06:16,480 in order to make it so that you don't constantly hear, (imitates fans winding up and down) 84 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,860 whenever you hit it with a short load. There's a lotta red. 85 00:06:19,860 --> 00:06:23,910 Yeah, the CPU has hit 100 degrees on several cores. 86 00:06:23,910 --> 00:06:27,030 To be clear, we're still boosting on both the CPU and the GPU. 87 00:06:27,030 --> 00:06:28,653 It's not like it's actually bad. 88 00:06:30,870 --> 00:06:35,870 A non-K SKU for the CPU would have throttled down 89 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,930 to base clock at this point, which would have been around 3.7 gigahertz. 90 00:06:39,930 --> 00:06:41,130 We're still at 4.2, 4.3, 91 00:06:43,615 --> 00:06:50,560 whereas the maximum boost clock is five. So we're kinda in the middle of where we could be. 92 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,640 So yeah, it would appear that that power supply is able 93 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,780 to handle this, which is interesting. 94 00:06:57,780 --> 00:07:01,793 It's totally fine. I mean okay, it doesn't sound very fine, does it? 95 00:07:03,250 --> 00:07:06,320 CPU is currently thermal throttling all over the place. 96 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,660 Now, of course, the system is screaming right now. 97 00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:13,250 So let's stop the GPU load 98 00:07:13,250 --> 00:07:17,500 and see if that, see how much of that noise was the GPU. 99 00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:21,120 I doubt it was much. Oh, yeah, the system itself is pretty hot, too. 100 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,330 Oh, especially the rear side of the motherboard. 101 00:07:25,330 --> 00:07:28,540 That SSD's probably getting cooked back there. But the good thing about that, 102 00:07:28,540 --> 00:07:31,590 it's getting pretty good passive convection, 103 00:07:31,590 --> 00:07:35,760 and also there's a little bit of air flow coming from this upper fan, as well. 104 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:41,630 So it's not bad. Also, a lot of that screaming was, in fact, the GPU. 105 00:07:41,630 --> 00:07:44,730 The CPU cooler is just a whoosh. 106 00:07:44,730 --> 00:07:46,453 If that were glass, oh-ho. 107 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:53,210 Well, considering I feel a lot, a lot of air coming through here on the intake, 108 00:07:53,210 --> 00:07:57,600 this is take air in and it's getting exhausted out the top, 109 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,453 and the back, 110 00:08:00,860 --> 00:08:05,370 yep, I think glass would probably be not advisable in this situation. 111 00:08:05,370 --> 00:08:11,990 You'd probably wanna go with a lower-end CPU. A Core i7 or a Core i5 might be perfectly fine 112 00:08:11,990 --> 00:08:15,260 in that case, but if you want a Core i9 like this, 113 00:08:15,260 --> 00:08:17,433 you'll probably wanna get the mesh sides. 114 00:08:18,300 --> 00:08:22,280 Anyway, let's stop this Prime95 and see what the gaming performance looks like. 115 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:28,520 Okay, so I'm putting on Ultra Nightmare. Gonna turn ray tracing on, 'cause why not? 116 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:33,560 All right, so sitting at the title screen, we've got about 120-ish FPS. 117 00:08:33,560 --> 00:08:37,210 Vertical sync is off, so that is as fast as it can go. 118 00:08:37,210 --> 00:08:40,980 Oh, it's getting kinda loud. Low ammo and I think low health. 119 00:08:40,980 --> 00:08:42,963 No. Health's okay. 120 00:08:47,770 --> 00:08:49,763 It's a pretty good experience. 121 00:08:51,260 --> 00:08:54,360 Uh, yeah, so we're dipping under 100 here, 122 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,943 but only barely. 123 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,240 In most cases, it looks like you're gonna get about 120 FPS at 4K with everything maxed 124 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:07,807 out in "Doom Eternal". Now that's obviously not indicative of every game. 125 00:09:07,807 --> 00:09:11,570 "Doom Eternal" is basically the most optimized game 126 00:09:11,570 --> 00:09:12,453 I can think of. 127 00:09:14,710 --> 00:09:19,640 But with that being said, that's a lotta performance. 128 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,090 It all just works. They didn't even send us this keyboard, either. 129 00:09:23,090 --> 00:09:26,390 This pattern is gonna go around, 130 00:09:26,390 --> 00:09:29,400 and now it's on the keyboard, and now it's back into the system. 131 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,810 That's the cool thing about iCUE. I do wish that that were something 132 00:09:32,810 --> 00:09:35,980 as robust as iCUE that supported general RGB stuff, 133 00:09:35,980 --> 00:09:40,790 but if you're in the Corsair ecosystem... Honestly I'm kinda surprised that 134 00:09:40,790 --> 00:09:44,130 this thing was able to handle as much wattage going 135 00:09:44,130 --> 00:09:47,390 through it as it did. Not only just from the fact that 136 00:09:47,390 --> 00:09:52,390 it's a 750-watt power supply in there, but also because it's such a small package 137 00:09:52,390 --> 00:09:57,520 for this much going on, and it's not a customized cooling setup, 138 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,810 like you'd get with an extreme small form factor build. 139 00:10:00,810 --> 00:10:04,600 This is straight-up just a compact ITX build. 140 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,660 So the fact that the CPU thermal-throttled 141 00:10:08,660 --> 00:10:13,205 doesn't surprise me. The fact that it didn't thermal throttle a lot surprised me. 142 00:10:13,205 --> 00:10:18,860 I don't really think I have any major complaints. The warranty covers swapping out parts. 143 00:10:18,860 --> 00:10:24,650 Of course the parts that you swap in won't be covered by ORIGIN's warranty, 144 00:10:24,650 --> 00:10:28,890 but they'll be covered by the manufacturer's warranty then, and your warranty for the rest 145 00:10:28,890 --> 00:10:32,330 of the system is not voided. I don't know what else to say. 146 00:10:32,330 --> 00:10:34,613 Jono, this is, it's a computer. 147 00:10:35,585 --> 00:10:41,250 - [Jono] Is it a powerful computer? - It is a powerful computer. Very powerful for how compact it is. 148 00:10:41,250 --> 00:10:46,257 So if this looks like something that might interest you, or something similar, you can go ahead 149 00:10:46,257 --> 00:10:49,440 and build this specific one. This was like four grand. 150 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,470 Check it out at the link below and make sure you get subscribed 151 00:10:52,470 --> 00:10:55,480 so you don't miss more "Short Circuits" like this one or not like this one. 152 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,410 This was a sponsored "ShortCircuit", but we do many non-sponsored ones 153 00:10:59,410 --> 00:11:03,523 that are, I would say as fun, if not more fun.
