all right kids the extreme rig challenge is back and this time they're stepping
it up a little bit classy
style there we go so instead of a
backpack we get a briefcase and instead
of a piece of paper that I printed out out of my email actually I have that too
I get this black envelope so let's follow the instructions shall we set up
your camera we got a Brandon over there no problem open the box the first thing
you'll is a black envelope mine was on the outside of the box that's okay
extreme rig challenge 2017 the top
system builders in the world 12 of them are competing to see which seven are
going to attend PS East so you guys are going to have to vote to see which of
them is going to be unveiling their rigs in March so you can follow on social
media by using # rig challeng sweepstakes and you can enter the sweep
Stakes over at rig challenge. Intel.com
what exactly could you win while they're giving away an HTC Vive and you can vote
I believe once a day it is you'll find the full terms in the video description
you can also win one of the amazing rigs
so let's have a look at what's in here oh first up is an all access pass to PAX
East wow includes airfare hotel and
conference so fun fact about these all access passes I tried to use one for PS
Prime with the last Intel R challenge you still have to go to the ticket
counter you don't just put this on and try and walk through the door they don't
let you in that was fun uh next up we've
got a t-shirt these are always large why do they assume that nerds are large I
wear a medium that's okay I'll give it to Luke and he'll be happy he doesn't
like paying for clothes anyway and next up we've got oo some very interesting
stuff here a lot of very safe protective
foam and oop
that's awkward it's over here ah maybe I
shouldn't have thrown around this uh this doad here before we uh before we
got started so we've got a core i7
7700k this is Intel's Flagship mainstream processor so this puppy's
clocked at 4.2 GHz and she'll boost higher than that with a fully unlocked
multiplier for overclocking basically you put this in any z270 board you throw
a nice cooler on her and it is pretty much to the races it also has upgraded
support for a wider range of ddr4 dual Channel frequencies and uh that's pretty
much all you need to know about it it's about as fast as it gets for gaming
today this one's interesting though this is one that I haven't seen before this
is Intel's SSD 600p so Intel finally has an m.2 NVMe
SSD they were one of the first ones out the door with PCI Express and U2 ssds
targeted towards consumers and they followed it up with m.2 so they sent
over their 1 tbte capacity one so this
will be a great upgrade for a desktop or a notebook whatever it is that you need
to have a ton of wicked fast storage inside and uh I'm actually really
looking forward to putting this puppy through the paces in the next little bit
super tiny so it uses the m.2 interface
right there and the NVMe protocol over the m.2 interface for reduced latency
and improveed performance you can learn more about the whole m.2 NVMe ahci
Quagmire right over there and figure out
how to know if your system would be compatible with a 600p but in the
meantime the priority is the extreme rig challenge so follow # rig challeng
Sweepstakes on social media and head over to the link in the video
description to start voting vote early vote often for a chance to win an HTC
Vive or one of the rigs
