WEBVTT 00:00:00.330 --> 00:00:04.813 - ORIGIN PC sent over a crate, a supply crate, if you will. 00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:08.163 Uh. Yeah, there we go. 00:00:11.187 --> 00:00:13.520 (box thuds) 00:00:15.270 --> 00:00:18.560 Video games are a lie. I mean maybe I'm just not hitting it 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... 00:00:25.889 --> 00:00:28.653 - [Jono] Ammo. - Ammo. Med kit. 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? 00:00:33.870 --> 00:00:35.020 This packaging, though. 00:00:37.537 --> 00:00:41.360 (Anthony grunts) Get out. Wow, that's a tight fit. 00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:45.423 This is the Chronos 2020, according to this. 00:00:46.470 --> 00:00:50.610 All right. Let's dig deeper. Thank you for choosing ORIGIN PC. 00:00:50.610 --> 00:00:53.610 Well, ORIGIN PC, you chose us today. 00:00:53.610 --> 00:00:57.950 So thank you. Get a nice mouse pad, as usual. 00:00:57.950 --> 00:01:02.190 Ours is bigger. Oh, yeah. So this is the stuff out of the power supply, 00:01:02.190 --> 00:01:06.700 and probably also the motherboard box. Got ZOTAC gaming stuff in there. 00:01:06.700 --> 00:01:10.991 This is the main event. Time to get this thing outta the package. 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. 00:01:16.380 --> 00:01:19.440 It's stretchy and stuff. That's cool. 00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:24.230 You ever wanted clothing for your PC? We should do PC clothing. 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? 00:01:29.210 --> 00:01:32.210 Or is it just Chronos. - [Jono] It's just a customized system. 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 00:01:36.190 --> 00:01:39.370 to buy the base model anyway. This is all about customization. 00:01:39.370 --> 00:01:43.240 So if you wanna bump up the spec on one thing or another, then you can. 00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:46.910 The base price is just kind of the base of what you can get. 00:01:46.910 --> 00:01:50.897 I just hit the BIOS clear button. That's great. 00:01:50.897 --> 00:01:54.420 (Anthony chuckles nervously) So I'm looking at this 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. 00:01:58.980 --> 00:02:03.310 Ah, there we go. That just pops right off like that. 00:02:05.130 --> 00:02:08.270 That is a dual 120-millimeter rad, 00:02:08.270 --> 00:02:10.083 so a 240, I think that is. 00:02:11.590 --> 00:02:14.769 And in order to get underneath that, I'm gonna have to take these screws out. 00:02:14.769 --> 00:02:18.840 (drill whirs) That's interesting. This is a really compact little build. 00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:22.639 Oh, that power supply is tiny. That's a 750 watt? 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.680 What GPU is this? - [Jono] A 3080ti. 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:29.876 - What CPU is this? 12900K. 00:02:29.876 --> 00:02:36.910 (Anthony sighs) Okay. So I don't know how much people watch "LTT" 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, 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 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, 00:02:57.590 --> 00:03:02.220 400 watts all day long. But it can spike a lot, 00:03:02.220 --> 00:03:08.300 like instantaneous readings can go as high as 700-ish-plus watts. 00:03:08.300 --> 00:03:13.290 So I'm a little concerned about that, Jono. - [Jono] You can change it out. 00:03:13.290 --> 00:03:16.920 - Right, you can change it out, and that is fully supported by the warranty, 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. 00:03:21.640 --> 00:03:24.313 Yeah, the overall build quality is pretty good. 00:03:25.210 --> 00:03:30.240 For something so tiny, considering the fact that this is a commercial product 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.543 and not something that somebody has put together for themselves, it's pretty tight. 00:03:35.720 --> 00:03:40.400 - [Jono] The 3080ti has a sustained max power of 350 watts. 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.410 - 350 watts sustained, yeah. That's about what I figured. 00:03:44.410 --> 00:03:49.410 So we're gonna have to hit it with some pretty heavy loads 00:03:50.010 --> 00:03:54.080 and see if ORIGIN PC can be trusted or if you're gonna have to find 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 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. 00:04:05.420 --> 00:04:08.540 Got a nice fan filter on the bottom here, as well, 00:04:08.540 --> 00:04:12.790 easy to remove and clean. These meshes, these mesh panels, 00:04:12.790 --> 00:04:16.910 also going to be pretty easy to clean, and they will make it much easier 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 00:04:22.610 --> 00:04:25.013 to fire it up. Let's power it up. 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.930 Uh-oh. Uh, there we go. 00:04:29.930 --> 00:04:33.710 You know, I know people don't like the look of mesh 00:04:33.710 --> 00:04:37.870 as much as they do tempered glass, but I kinda to like the look of mesh. 00:04:37.870 --> 00:04:41.910 I missed the BIOS. I was gonna go in, see if I wrecked it. 00:04:41.910 --> 00:04:46.910 But since I did not get a, "The CMOS settings are gone," 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. 00:04:51.290 --> 00:04:53.903 Ooh. Is this the default? 00:04:54.770 --> 00:04:58.600 So our idle temperatures, I mean we haven't really been running for very long, 00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:03.600 but looks like 21 degrees, 24 degrees, 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.960 somewhere around there. Apparently the minimum temperature, at one point, 00:05:07.960 --> 00:05:09.943 was zero degrees, so that was a glitch. 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. 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? 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. 00:05:27.131 --> 00:05:31.220 - Think it'll be fine? You got confidence in ORIGIN PC? 00:05:31.220 --> 00:05:34.903 GPU stress tests, go. Prime95. 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. 00:05:41.130 --> 00:05:43.383 Okay, 96, 97. 00:05:44.440 --> 00:05:49.000 Okay, it's not going any higher, yet. All right, so we're at 338 watts 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:55.620 for the GPU, and the CPU, we're drawing 280-ish watts. 00:05:55.620 --> 00:06:00.060 We went up to as high as 301. So it's currently thermal throttling. 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. 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 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) 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.860 whenever you hit it with a short load. There's a lotta red. 00:06:19.860 --> 00:06:23.910 Yeah, the CPU has hit 100 degrees on several cores. 00:06:23.910 --> 00:06:27.030 To be clear, we're still boosting on both the CPU and the GPU. 00:06:27.030 --> 00:06:28.653 It's not like it's actually bad. 00:06:30.870 --> 00:06:35.870 A non-K SKU for the CPU would have throttled down 00:06:35.960 --> 00:06:39.930 to base clock at this point, which would have been around 3.7 gigahertz. 00:06:39.930 --> 00:06:41.130 We're still at 4.2, 4.3, 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. 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.640 So yeah, it would appear that that power supply is able 00:06:53.640 --> 00:06:57.780 to handle this, which is interesting. 00:06:57.780 --> 00:07:01.793 It's totally fine. I mean okay, it doesn't sound very fine, does it? 00:07:03.250 --> 00:07:06.320 CPU is currently thermal throttling all over the place. 00:07:06.320 --> 00:07:09.660 Now, of course, the system is screaming right now. 00:07:09.660 --> 00:07:13.250 So let's stop the GPU load 00:07:13.250 --> 00:07:17.500 and see if that, see how much of that noise was the GPU. 00:07:17.500 --> 00:07:21.120 I doubt it was much. Oh, yeah, the system itself is pretty hot, too. 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:25.330 Oh, especially the rear side of the motherboard. 00:07:25.330 --> 00:07:28.540 That SSD's probably getting cooked back there. But the good thing about that, 00:07:28.540 --> 00:07:31.590 it's getting pretty good passive convection, 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. 00:07:35.760 --> 00:07:41.630 So it's not bad. Also, a lot of that screaming was, in fact, the GPU. 00:07:41.630 --> 00:07:44.730 The CPU cooler is just a whoosh. 00:07:44.730 --> 00:07:46.453 If that were glass, oh-ho. 00:07:48.440 --> 00:07:53.210 Well, considering I feel a lot, a lot of air coming through here on the intake, 00:07:53.210 --> 00:07:57.600 this is take air in and it's getting exhausted out the top, 00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:58.453 and the back, 00:08:00.860 --> 00:08:05.370 yep, I think glass would probably be not advisable in this situation. 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 00:08:11.990 --> 00:08:15.260 in that case, but if you want a Core i9 like this, 00:08:15.260 --> 00:08:17.433 you'll probably wanna get the mesh sides. 00:08:18.300 --> 00:08:22.280 Anyway, let's stop this Prime95 and see what the gaming performance looks like. 00:08:22.280 --> 00:08:28.520 Okay, so I'm putting on Ultra Nightmare. Gonna turn ray tracing on, 'cause why not? 00:08:28.520 --> 00:08:33.560 All right, so sitting at the title screen, we've got about 120-ish FPS. 00:08:33.560 --> 00:08:37.210 Vertical sync is off, so that is as fast as it can go. 00:08:37.210 --> 00:08:40.980 Oh, it's getting kinda loud. Low ammo and I think low health. 00:08:40.980 --> 00:08:42.963 No. Health's okay. 00:08:47.770 --> 00:08:49.763 It's a pretty good experience. 00:08:51.260 --> 00:08:54.360 Uh, yeah, so we're dipping under 100 here, 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:55.943 but only barely. 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 00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:07.807 out in "Doom Eternal". Now that's obviously not indicative of every game. 00:09:07.807 --> 00:09:11.570 "Doom Eternal" is basically the most optimized game 00:09:11.570 --> 00:09:12.453 I can think of. 00:09:14.710 --> 00:09:19.640 But with that being said, that's a lotta performance. 00:09:19.640 --> 00:09:23.090 It all just works. They didn't even send us this keyboard, either. 00:09:23.090 --> 00:09:26.390 This pattern is gonna go around, 00:09:26.390 --> 00:09:29.400 and now it's on the keyboard, and now it's back into the system. 00:09:29.400 --> 00:09:32.810 That's the cool thing about iCUE. I do wish that that were something 00:09:32.810 --> 00:09:35.980 as robust as iCUE that supported general RGB stuff, 00:09:35.980 --> 00:09:40.790 but if you're in the Corsair ecosystem... Honestly I'm kinda surprised that 00:09:40.790 --> 00:09:44.130 this thing was able to handle as much wattage going 00:09:44.130 --> 00:09:47.390 through it as it did. Not only just from the fact that 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 00:09:52.390 --> 00:09:57.520 for this much going on, and it's not a customized cooling setup, 00:09:57.520 --> 00:10:00.810 like you'd get with an extreme small form factor build. 00:10:00.810 --> 00:10:04.600 This is straight-up just a compact ITX build. 00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:08.660 So the fact that the CPU thermal-throttled 00:10:08.660 --> 00:10:13.205 doesn't surprise me. The fact that it didn't thermal throttle a lot surprised me. 00:10:13.205 --> 00:10:18.860 I don't really think I have any major complaints. The warranty covers swapping out parts. 00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:24.650 Of course the parts that you swap in won't be covered by ORIGIN's warranty, 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 00:10:28.890 --> 00:10:32.330 of the system is not voided. I don't know what else to say. 00:10:32.330 --> 00:10:34.613 Jono, this is, it's a computer. 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. 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 00:10:46.257 --> 00:10:49.440 and build this specific one. This was like four grand. 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.470 Check it out at the link below and make sure you get subscribed 00:10:52.470 --> 00:10:55.480 so you don't miss more "Short Circuits" like this one or not like this one. 00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:59.410 This was a sponsored "ShortCircuit", but we do many non-sponsored ones 00:10:59.410 --> 00:11:03.523 that are, I would say as fun, if not more fun.
