1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:07,200
so we've been featuring a lot of small

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:12,759
cases lately on lineus Tech tips and we've gotten a lot of frustration from

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:14,679
the community for not showing off larger

4
00:00:12,759 --> 00:00:21,880
designs more often and you know what we heard you so

5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:30,840
we got in touch with main gear who partnered with HP to bring us this The

6
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:33,079
Omen X the rotated cubid whose HP

7
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:40,039
rendition we first checked out back at CES in January at

8
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:43,280
$599 for the case alone that version may

9
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:45,719
have tilted some of you but if price is

10
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:50,520
a non-c concern for you well you'd be looking at the Mad baller main gear

11
00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:56,830
version that Sports a mad baller price tag to match anyway I mean go big or go

12
00:00:54,039 --> 00:00:58,920
home am I

13
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:05,360
right

14
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:12,680
cooler Master's 25th anniversary edition

15
00:01:08,759 --> 00:01:15,200
Cosmos 2 features a unique dual curved

16
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:20,560
tempered glass side panel check it out now at the link

17
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:25,400
below so let's take it from the top The

18
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:28,159
Omen X has a gigantic package I mean

19
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:32,520
when it first arrives that is the first thing that you will notice but that's a

20
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:40,200
good thing when you consider the omen X's weight at over 50 lb it is certainly

21
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:45,680
something that you will think twice before moving especially if you've got

22
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:49,719
to go up and down the stairs like we had

23
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:54,159
to but who says big can't be beautiful

24
00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:57,560
the HP version is nice but what a job

25
00:01:54,159 --> 00:01:59,840
main gear did on this one done up with a

26
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:06,000
gorgeous coat of blue automotive paint paint and some other tweaks so we've got

27
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:11,080
the main gear logo in place of the omen logo on the front panel that Sports

28
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:18,080
individually addressable quadrants of RGB Lighting on the right we've got our

29
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,760
front IO including two USB type-c ports

30
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:25,400
and down below we've got wait a DVD burner okay well In fairness it can be

31
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:30,160
equipped with a Blu-ray Drive if you want but main gear wisely assumed that

32
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:34,480
we wouldn't care if they put a piece of new car scented blue cardboard in there

33
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:40,200
anyway around the back we've got our rear I/O which thankfully reveals an

34
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:46,959
offthe shelf motherboard from ASUS and not a proprietary HP Omen board as well

35
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:50,120
as our power supply and huh what's this

36
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:53,879
screw here well let's just remove it and

37
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:56,760
now press this button and whoa that side

38
00:02:53,879 --> 00:03:04,440
panel just opened like a car door very cool and looking even deeper inside oh

39
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:06,959
yeah we areg be now boys sorry I got

40
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:13,200
carried away there anyway in here we find one of our three cooling zones and

41
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:20,239
here the motherboard and gpus live alongside a 120 mm radiator up front

42
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:23,280
with our Reservoir and a 240 mm radiator

43
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:25,760
up top pulling exhaust Duty we can't

44
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:31,640
help at this point but to tear up a little bit gazing upon the gorgeous hard

45
00:03:29,799 --> 00:03:39,280
line tubing job main gear has painstakingly done for this unit it

46
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:42,159
includes a whopping 75 Chrome fittings

47
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:47,439
and no bends apparently this helps prevent damage in shipping our blocks

48
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:52,920
are running in parallel in our Loop and all of them contain a delightful pastel

49
00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:58,760
blue coolant reminiscent of a delicious liquefied Smurf but if you look closely

50
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:05,840
here you'll see that our Loop actually extends into the bottom chamber to where

51
00:04:01,959 --> 00:04:08,360
the Corsair ax1200i is housed it's a

52
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:14,720
little tough to access but down there you'll actually find a third radiator to

53
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:20,759
complete the cooling system I mean this thing packs some serious cooling

54
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:28,440
capacity all right then lonus what's in the third chamber Drive Bays for days

55
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,240
well four Drive Bays anyway for four

56
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:35,360
days but they're cool ones all four are hot swappable with locking

57
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:40,280
mechanisms and cloth pull tabs that let you slide out trays big enough to

58
00:04:37,479 --> 00:04:47,120
accommodate up to 3 and 1/2 in hard drives while we did report though at CES

59
00:04:43,919 --> 00:04:49,840
that the omen X would support .2 drives

60
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:54,280
ours doesn't this isn't the end of the world for and now there isn't a ton of

61
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:58,680
selection in ud2 drives but we are looking forward to seeing future

62
00:04:55,919 --> 00:05:04,400
configurations with that option nudge nudge so with all of that together we've

63
00:05:01,639 --> 00:05:09,240
got a baaf machine that should be more than capable of handling high-end work

64
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:14,440
like 3D rendering and video editing all the way down to more pedestrian tasks

65
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:18,600
like 4K gaming which I can't believe I just said starting off then with our

66
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:22,600
gaming tests we can see that right off the bat main Gear's Factory overclock

67
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:30,720
has given them quite a bit of Headroom over the stock configuration so it's not

68
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:32,919
all for show then and and I imagine if

69
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,919
you wanted to really sit down and grind out the voltage tweaks for an

70
00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:42,919
unreasonably long period of trial and error you could probably push both the

71
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:44,560
6950x CPU and the 1080 TI gpus even

72
00:05:42,919 --> 00:05:49,080
further but that's a little outside the scope of a normal System review though

73
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:53,319
with that said maybe we'll get a chance to take a closer look at an omen X in

74
00:05:51,000 --> 00:06:00,240
the future maybe after Threadripper anyway this is an expensive system but

75
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:05,400
this is main gear so you have to expect it these guys handb build every unit

76
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:09,960
they send out the door and hand overclock them too I mean during the

77
00:06:07,599 --> 00:06:15,880
course of this video our motherboard actually developed a fault and they flew

78
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:19,599
the guy who built the system to make the repair for us and while they won't

79
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:25,479
necessarily do that for every end user it does show a level of commitment that

80
00:06:22,039 --> 00:06:28,319
we've never seen before even towards us

81
00:06:25,479 --> 00:06:32,599
from a system builder and it also highlights something very important that

82
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:39,360
we brought up in our recent review of the digital storm bolx and that is that

83
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:43,240
Hardline tubing is a pain and a half to

84
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:47,199
maintain even if it looks stunning and

85
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:50,160
this one is one stunning series of

86
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:56,080
tubes that Artistry in support though like I said doesn't come cheap and as

87
00:06:52,759 --> 00:07:00,080
configured we are sitting at

88
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:03,360
105,000 us even our balls to the wall

89
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:07,280
test bench parts cost less than half of

90
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:10,560
that so then just like the bolx The Omen

91
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:12,759
X isn't for an Enthusiast who likes to

92
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:17,879
get their hands dirty but rather it's for someone who wants a unique looking

93
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:20,319
rig with an utterly one-of-a-kind water

94
00:07:17,879 --> 00:07:26,000
cooling setup that compromises on nothing without the hassle and with full

95
00:07:23,479 --> 00:07:32,800
support if something goes wrong is it for you well that depends just how much

96
00:07:29,639 --> 00:07:34,599
of a baller you are and also how Cube
