WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.839
this is a duck and kind of a large one

00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:09.679
but at what point is a nuck no longer a knock well

00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:15.599
this is the beast canyon nook and Intel has given us room for a

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:18.320
full-blown 12-inch GPU in here

00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:22.400
but is it small enough to be enough or should you just have built your own

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:26.160
small form factor computer we'll see but not until i build a segway to our

00:00:23.840 --> 00:00:30.080
sponsor glasswire instantly see your current and past network activity detect

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:34.880
malware and block badly behaving apps on your pc and Android device use offer

00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:38.200
code Linus and get 25 off glass wire at the link below

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:53.120
i've always had a soft spot for nux and this one is no exception meet the beast

00:00:50.239 --> 00:00:58.160
canyon sure the 8 liter chassis is bigger than a4 Dan case but Intel has

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:03.600
used it to cram some truly impressive hardware in here the one we've got here

00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:06.400
has an i9 11 900 kb basically a jacked

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:11.520
up 10 nanometer laptop CPU with eight cores and a juicy 5.3 gigahertz turbo as

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:17.200
well as 32 gigabytes of RAM half a terabyte of storage a teeny tiny 650

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:20.240
watt power supply and an rtx 3060.

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:21.920
that's pretty impressive but if it's

00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:25.439
so big yeah can we call it a hook

00:01:23.759 --> 00:01:30.159
well instead of calling the motherboard a motherboard Intel called it the

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:34.240
compute element and in fairness it is quite a bit different than your average

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:38.720
motherboard basically everything needed to run the computer so CPU RAM storage

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:43.759
and even cooling is taken care of by this tiny little box it plugs into the

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:48.880
baseboard which allows you to connect other things to a PCIe connector like

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:54.000
our rtx 3060. other than that this thing is basically just a small pc it's kind

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:59.040
of cute it's like a slightly more phallic ghost canyon with its extension

00:01:56.240 --> 00:02:03.040
taking it from 5 liters to 8 with the goal of adding more power and bigger

00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:08.319
graphics cards the bare bones kit doesn't come with a GPU but simply next

00:02:05.119 --> 00:02:10.959
website has a mini 3060 ti and a full

00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:15.680
size 3070 is add-on card options with support for up to a 3080. they've also

00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:18.800
added a third fan for better cooling and trust me you're gonna need it just like

00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:24.160
you're gonna need one of our reflective heatsink t-shirts to stay cool on these

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:29.200
summer days lttstore.com but that extra fan doesn't mean you can put this laptop

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.879
CPU under too much stress in cinebench

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:34.959
we were able to beat the ghost canyon neck despite it being overclocked to

00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:39.680
within an inch of its life this thing was running at 98 degrees poor thing we

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:44.720
were hoping the addition of this shroud around the beast canyon's CPU cooler

00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:47.760
would help but even on stock settings it

00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:49.599
got up to a toasty 95 degrees although

00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:55.920
once the turbo was done it settled in around 75 which is you know pretty good

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:57.360
it's an 11 900 kb versus an 11 900 hk so

00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:01.840
we're not surprised that the new one beat it but it is still nice to see if

00:03:00.239 --> 00:03:06.800
you want to play it safe you could go for the i7 compute element but forget

00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:10.879
about dropping it down to an i5 because that's just not an option anymore

00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:14.000
apparently people didn't buy it in games we see another marginal

00:03:12.480 --> 00:03:19.360
improvement with the beast canyon the 3060 they sent us reached a high of 68

00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:23.440
degrees during a one hour loop of f1 so it's just shy of the 70 degree mark

00:03:21.519 --> 00:03:28.480
where it'll start throttling back on the other hand the ghost canyon's 2070

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:32.400
reached 70 degrees very frequently so it's got slightly better cooling and

00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:37.120
newer hardware but why would you want a beast canyon neck

00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:42.319
well it's cool i like it and it's cool

00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:46.560
from the way you open it to the layout to the upgrade path if you're the sort

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:51.040
of person who wants a small form-factor pc but doesn't want to actually build

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:55.040
one let's be real that can be an absolute nightmare

00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.840
then the beast canyon is well an absolute beast

00:03:56.640 --> 00:04:01.920
and if you don't want to learn how to build one you can watch our how to build

00:03:59.920 --> 00:04:06.879
a pc the last guide you'll ever need should be coming soon so get subscribed

00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:10.799
and i mean just look at it there's so much room for

00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:15.120
activities the front i o is mostly unchanged from the ghost canyon it just

00:04:12.799 --> 00:04:19.359
moved down a bit while the rear i o gets a couple more usb ports and upgrade to

00:04:17.359 --> 00:04:23.520
two and a half gigabit Ethernet the Thunderbolt ports have been upgraded to

00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:29.840
4.0 from three and the wi-fi has gone up from six to sixty and before i open it

00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:29.840
up check this out

00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:38.479
it's got underglow a young brian o'connor would

00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:42.800
shed a tear while we're looking down here there's a

00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:47.040
super easy to access m.2 slot bring the total and the system up to four now if

00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:50.479
you do want to fully assemble it it's not all that

00:04:48.479 --> 00:04:55.040
difficult we've got four screws back here they're

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:58.240
all captive now this should just come

00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:01.759
right off yep easy

00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.759
i think these come out

00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:10.800
now the top peels off this one's kind of tough but you just need to give her

00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:15.520
and this one goes up and out

00:05:14.479 --> 00:05:18.800
you're in you can get it all of it now okay here

00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:26.160
we go this is why we're actually in here we want to rip this GPU out rtx 3060s

00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:31.360
they're just kind of you know

00:05:27.919 --> 00:05:33.840
NVIDIA's one miss with rtx 3000.

00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:39.520
i can get it out there we go so long mr 3060.

00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:43.120
so we have a 30 80 ti here are you sure

00:05:39.520 --> 00:05:44.800
about this yeah so in the past if you

00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:49.680
had a power supply that was kind of marginal it was totally fine and you

00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:53.120
could sort of just do it in this situation

00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:56.720
the problem is that small form factor power supplies because they're small

00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:01.600
have less capacitance so if you have something like a 3080 ti and you chuck

00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:04.840
it in there it draws 500 watts the power supply doesn't like it it goes boom that

00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:10.400
happened to andes and james's

00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:14.560
and the billy billy pc i think we've killed a lot of small form factor

00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:18.880
power supplies lately we're we're just doing a 38 yeah

00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:24.960
yeah we're playing it safe it will fit

00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:24.960
will it suck i guess we will find it out

00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:33.600
that's fine nope

00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:38.080
got it that was pretty simple

00:06:35.840 --> 00:06:41.440
all right let's game on this thing do you think it's gonna be fine

00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:44.639
yeah i i don't think it's gonna be fine it's only a 3080

00:06:42.960 --> 00:06:50.319
it's but it's right up against that power supply i think it's gonna run real

00:06:46.960 --> 00:06:50.319
fast and then just go

00:06:50.479 --> 00:07:00.400
so idle we're looking at under 40 degrees on the GPU

00:06:55.600 --> 00:07:02.639
CPU's already hit 95 degrees great start

00:07:00.400 --> 00:07:06.960
all right here we go here we go it's getting toasty fast 320 watts power

00:07:05.599 --> 00:07:10.880
consumption GPU temperature did not take long it

00:07:09.039 --> 00:07:15.759
looks like it's going to hit 70 degrees here very soon

00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:17.520
uh memories at a casual 88

00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:22.400
all right we hit 70 degrees it might start pulling the clocks right now

00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:26.000
currently at 1900 megahertz up really quite fast actually how long can it

00:07:24.880 --> 00:07:29.919
sustain it it's hot but like in a good way it i

00:07:27.919 --> 00:07:36.160
think it's actually working i'm honestly surprised that this 3080 is just fine

00:07:33.599 --> 00:07:40.639
in this little computer so if i'm honest i didn't expect the founders edition

00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:44.240
3080 to be happy in this thing but it is so

00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:48.160
good job Intel if you do want to buy one of these and upgrade it make sure that

00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:53.440
you pick out a two slot card and you can't go past 12 inches in length

00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:56.080
so basically founders edition that's kind of what you get

00:07:54.960 --> 00:08:03.360
now there is a big problem though the the

00:07:59.599 --> 00:08:06.319
price the base model with an 11 900 kb

00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:10.960
starts at 1600 us dollars once you upgrade the memory storage add

00:08:09.039 --> 00:08:16.000
a GPU it'll set you back like three thousand

00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:20.720
dollars pretty fast oh small form factor components do

00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:25.120
usually cost a little bit more than their standard size ones

00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:31.360
but we recently did a small form factor build in the joe that had very similar

00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:34.000
performance for nearly half the price

00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:38.000
that's using a standard motherboard and a really big cooler the cooling i think

00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:40.640
was impeccable so

00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:45.440
yeah at the end of the day the beast canyon

00:08:42.719 --> 00:08:49.760
is super cool and if you're rich get it or if you enjoy a challenge and having

00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:53.200
an extra fifteen hundred dollars maybe just build one yourself what you're not

00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:57.200
gonna build yourself though is a pair of shoes so thanks to bessie for sponsoring

00:08:55.200 --> 00:09:00.720
this video vesti footwear is known for being waterproof they're lightweight

00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:03.680
easy to pack and breathable you don't need to worry about the weather anymore

00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:07.200
with a dual climate knit material keeping your feet warm in the winter and

00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:10.640
cool in the summer they have super easy slip on and slip off and are comfortable

00:09:08.800 --> 00:09:14.720
for traveling and fit almost any occasion some of us are wearing them

00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:19.279

learn how to build a small form factor pc uh

00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:34.800
well this video won't help you but it's really difficult and absolute nightmare

00:09:32.880 --> 00:09:37.839
and quite amusing just watch it here
