1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,140
we're at the digital storm suite at CES 2023 and I'm ready to show you three of

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:11,400
their latest newest baddest computers starting with one that is such an early

3
00:00:09,420 --> 00:00:14,940
prototype this thing is literally made out of plastic okay I mean maybe not

4
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:19,140
entirely there's a metal frame and everything but I assure you the top

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,960
I don't even want to move it I was asking if I could take it apart earlier

6
00:00:20,699 --> 00:00:26,100
and they're all like and now they're looking at me like scared they got their

7
00:00:23,820 --> 00:00:31,199
phones out this is like in for insurance purposes right

8
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:34,380
but I assure you what's inside seriously cool this is what they're calling the

9
00:00:33,059 --> 00:00:39,239
spark and it's actually not the first time the Spark's been released this is

10
00:00:36,180 --> 00:00:40,620
an entirely new version redesign the

11
00:00:39,239 --> 00:00:44,760
previous version was based on mobile components so that's a laptop CPU and a

12
00:00:42,899 --> 00:00:47,760
laptop graphics card and it also had an external power brick which a lot of

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:51,780
people didn't really like understandably you can't upgrade a laptop on this

14
00:00:49,980 --> 00:00:55,739
system it's actually based around an Intel Nook which is not something I've

15
00:00:53,700 --> 00:01:01,680
seen before it looks like a custom system it's got custom water cooling oh

16
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:04,260
God oh I'm sorry guys water cooled

17
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:08,400
graphics card but inside that's not an ITX motherboard it's literally parts

18
00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:12,540
from a Knuck now specifically inside this is a z790 chipset which means you

19
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:18,060
can use any of Intel's 13th gen processors this system right now is

20
00:01:14,460 --> 00:01:19,860
equipped with a 13900k full fat not a

21
00:01:18,060 --> 00:01:24,960
laptop one you're getting all of the performance of a 3900k in this system on

22
00:01:22,380 --> 00:01:28,259
the back a little bit weird it's an RTX 3080. now they told me basically the

23
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,159
problem right now is getting water blocks for a 40 series is tricky the

24
00:01:30,780 --> 00:01:36,180
fittings on this card actually come out of the bottom this is an EK block but

25
00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:39,600
Digital Storm usually uses their own custom Watermark so they have to design

26
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:43,020
their own water block to First fit in this chassis and then they have to have

27
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:47,640
enough stock apparently there's been a ton of orders of 40 series cards uh over

28
00:01:45,420 --> 00:01:51,299
the holidays so this one it's just for show when you order the system you can

29
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:54,780
get up to a 4080 don't worry about that I've been told the only thing I'm

30
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:58,880
allowed to take off on this thing is the side panel now these are long screws

31
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:06,200
they're all watching in horror it's my favorite

32
00:02:03,420 --> 00:02:06,200
oh it's good

33
00:02:08,099 --> 00:02:15,180
oh yeah look at what right there it's a fancy Nook as it is a

34
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:17,879
Knuck the system uses sodium memory those are the little kind of laptop

35
00:02:16,620 --> 00:02:21,900
style RAM sticks but they're not soldered so you can pull them out it's

36
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:26,340
only two slots so you can do up to two by 32 this system is currently

37
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:30,239
configured with 2x16 for 32 gigs the main benefit of using Intel's nut

38
00:02:28,020 --> 00:02:34,739
platform over laptop components is it's a lot more easy to upgrade don't get me

39
00:02:33,420 --> 00:02:38,459
wrong you're not putting an ITX motherboard in the system at home but if

40
00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:42,360
you were to send the system back to Digital Storm say when 14th gen Intel

41
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:46,680
comes out it's very possible that they can easily slot in a new motherboard and

42
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:50,400
new CPU without having to kind of rebuild an entire new system which is a

43
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:53,879
lot easier than the laptop components before for cooling they're using their

44
00:02:52,140 --> 00:03:00,780
own custom water blocks as well as a 240mm front AIO along with two 120 mil

45
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:03,239
fans now in the final versions the real

46
00:03:00,780 --> 00:03:06,780
thing there will be cooling holes on the back right now it's just a flat panel so

47
00:03:05,459 --> 00:03:12,360
I wouldn't expect the thermals on this thing are fantastic yet but I mean it's

48
00:03:10,140 --> 00:03:17,280
a pretty good amount of cooling for how small this case is like for reference

49
00:03:14,340 --> 00:03:21,840
two iPhones tall and like an iPhone and a third wide while it is very small it

50
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:25,800
is technically a little bit bigger than the first generation spark and a big

51
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:31,019
part of that is to accommodate a full discrete power supply this is a standard

52
00:03:27,780 --> 00:03:32,879
sfx power supply from Corsair sf750

53
00:03:31,019 --> 00:03:36,840
instead of the previous generation which had a giant power brick that you had to

54
00:03:34,620 --> 00:03:40,440
lay on the floor duct tape to the bottom of your desk this it's just integrated

55
00:03:38,580 --> 00:03:45,060
you just need a regular PC power cable oh my God this thing is so small I'm

56
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:49,560
trying to find where the pump is oh yeah

57
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:52,019
oh wow so it's kind of mounted flat on

58
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:56,459
the bottom cool wow oh yeah I see like I see the tube

59
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:00,500
there's one tube comes up it's like it's sitting like pancake style at the bottom

60
00:03:58,260 --> 00:04:06,420
one tube comes up to the graphics card and then oh God

61
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,640
is the other two does it come out of the bottom of the

62
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,900
wrap yeah okay so the other one comes over the bottom of the Rat okay that makes

63
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,799
sense this is a very compact it must suck to have to be the person at digital

64
00:04:14,459 --> 00:04:20,820
storm that assembles these things I don't envy them

65
00:04:18,739 --> 00:04:23,580
because of the size of this system you're not going to get this thing air

66
00:04:22,260 --> 00:04:27,660
cooled it's only going to come water cooled with either soft or hard tubing

67
00:04:25,860 --> 00:04:31,500
depending on what your preference is and for storage there's three m.2 slots

68
00:04:29,580 --> 00:04:35,220
there's only m.2 storage you're not putting any two and a half inch ssds

69
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,580
unless you happen to have double-sided tape laying around but I promise you

70
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:42,600
they will not sell it to you like that looking at the back again you'll

71
00:04:40,199 --> 00:04:46,740
probably notice the only i o is this power button he's just chilling there I

72
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,639
think he's double-sided tape or something prototype prototype but the

73
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:54,540
intention is long term for this top panel to be able to slide off to give

74
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,300
access to the i o they'll probably ship it with some sort of like right angle

75
00:04:55,979 --> 00:05:01,740
DisplayPort cable so you can actually get display signals out but for now

76
00:04:59,580 --> 00:05:05,340
you're not plugging anything in they're expecting this system to come out in Q2

77
00:05:03,419 --> 00:05:08,400
of this year with a price point starting around two thousand dollars now now for

78
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:13,560
your two thousand dollars you're looking at around a 70 class NVIDIA GPU as well

79
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:18,300
as like an Intel 13600k but you can definitely upgrade it up to 40 80 up to

80
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:21,320
3 900k I'm gonna put this down because I'm scared

81
00:05:21,919 --> 00:05:27,479
pretty colors

82
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:31,860
this is a good looking computer you can customize the colors on the fans

83
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:36,780
of course this thing has a lot of fans up to 10 actually this is the new

84
00:05:34,620 --> 00:05:40,919
revamped version of their lumos which is their best selling computer now there's

85
00:05:38,820 --> 00:05:46,020
some changes here of course this case is actually entirely new now for the new

86
00:05:43,139 --> 00:05:50,699
version the front is now very open I mean this is about as open as you can

87
00:05:48,419 --> 00:05:54,960
get aside from just having straight mesh looks super nice it's going to have a

88
00:05:52,680 --> 00:06:00,120
ton of airflow on the top same deal fully meshed panel

89
00:05:58,380 --> 00:06:03,660
and of course the back is vented like any computer case so lots of cooling

90
00:06:01,979 --> 00:06:08,220
that's the main theme for the new system unlike the spark we looked at before

91
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:12,000
this is a lot more standard of a computer it looks mostly just like a

92
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:17,340
really nice ATX computer and that's basically what it is in terms of other things that are new for this generation

93
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:21,360
there's a custom distribution block with uh right now has a DDC pump supposedly

94
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,880
the new generation of DDC that's a lot more reliable but they're telling me

95
00:06:22,740 --> 00:06:27,419
that the actual systems are probably going to ship with a D5 pump a lot more

96
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:30,720
reliable that's what you're going to want this one is custom water cooled you

97
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:34,919
can get this one air cooled this one's equipped with a 3900k and a 4090 but of

98
00:06:33,479 --> 00:06:39,720
course with any Boutique system builder you can probably spec this thing out however you want you could do you put

99
00:06:38,220 --> 00:06:43,680
249s in there you can water cool 2490s in there you

100
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:48,240
probably shouldn't because SLI is dead but you could if you wanted to this new

101
00:06:46,620 --> 00:06:52,259
version of the lumos is coming out late q1 it's going to be starting at around

102
00:06:50,039 --> 00:06:57,539
1500 bucks for that you could expect a 13 600 KF and a 50 class NVIDIA GPU if

103
00:06:55,919 --> 00:07:02,880
you wanted to go to something like a 60 class GPU you're looking more around

104
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:04,020
1800 bucks but

105
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:09,419
yeah like the spark most of the water cooling components are done in-house and one

106
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:13,500
thing I did notice this is the same water block as the spark

107
00:07:11,220 --> 00:07:18,600
but the big boy over there has a different water block let's go check it

108
00:07:15,539 --> 00:07:20,039
out this is what I was looking for but

109
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:25,139
wait you don't get to see it until we talk about our sponsor dbrand to our

110
00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:29,639
sponsor for CES 2023 actually dropped out but D brand footed the bill the only

111
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:36,419
catch is they want me to come out onto the streets and offer Tech tips to

112
00:07:32,940 --> 00:07:39,419
random people for free it's I I'm not

113
00:07:36,419 --> 00:07:42,180
optimistic for how this is gonna go

114
00:07:39,419 --> 00:07:46,259
do you want a tech tip sure are you sure yeah yeah I'm listening okay do you know

115
00:07:43,919 --> 00:07:50,280
when you use Google yeah that when you put a word into quotation marks it'll

116
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:54,240
search for a phrase in quotation marks it'll search for the whole phrase yeah

117
00:07:51,660 --> 00:07:57,180
you already knew that yeah uh do you know that if you put a minus in front of

118
00:07:55,860 --> 00:08:00,900
it then they'll take it out of the search results I thought I didn't know

119
00:07:59,099 --> 00:08:05,160
you didn't know that no that's not your level oh well I'm glad I could be a

120
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:11,699
service oh thank you can you do one more thing for me what go to shortlineus.com

121
00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:13,380
Linus Tech tips Linus Tech tips yes I'm

122
00:08:11,699 --> 00:08:17,759
putting the pieces together is that what's happening right now uh yeah I'm

123
00:08:15,180 --> 00:08:23,520
giving out Tech tips awesome oh my god um with the magic of oh my God huh

124
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,759
didn't break it it's fine don't worry wow

125
00:08:25,319 --> 00:08:30,120
it's so much brighter with the side panel off I almost like don't want a

126
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:35,700
tinted side panel can you do not a tinted side panel

127
00:08:33,380 --> 00:08:39,360
they're all tinted all right they like tint here at digital storm look at this

128
00:08:38,459 --> 00:08:44,940
thing this is beautiful can I take it home

129
00:08:43,979 --> 00:08:50,519
this is if I can carry it oh my God

130
00:08:47,459 --> 00:08:52,260
oh my God okay no not taking it home

131
00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:58,860
this is the new generation of their aventum system which is as you can see

132
00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:01,320
the flagship this is the Big Kahuna big

133
00:08:58,860 --> 00:09:06,000
donger I got lots of money and I want a nice computer computer okay

134
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:12,000
this absolute monster of a gaming computer is equipped with a 3900k ASUS

135
00:09:09,060 --> 00:09:15,480
z790 Maximus extreme motherboard how much RAM we got in here doesn't matter

136
00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:19,380
you can get as much RAM as you want this is the computer when you have [ __ ] you

137
00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:23,820
money and that's what digital storm is all about

138
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:25,740
now curiously this graphics card is a

139
00:09:23,820 --> 00:09:29,040
3080. again this comes down to supply chain constraints they have a lot of

140
00:09:27,420 --> 00:09:34,500
customer orders to fulfill with 4080s and 40 90. so this one just for the show

141
00:09:31,140 --> 00:09:36,680
just just pretend 49. you can configure

142
00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:41,459
it with up to 249s which is super cool they have this awesome quick disconnect

143
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:45,660
system I watched the video of the previous eventum that we did recently I

144
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,959
was really hoping this one still had it and it totally does if the computer

145
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:52,800
wasn't running I could just unplug that would you be

146
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,820
mad if I unplug the quick disconnect while it was running

147
00:09:55,019 --> 00:10:03,380
not advisable look at this

148
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,380
the Magic The Magic of the aventum

149
00:10:03,839 --> 00:10:06,560
look at that

150
00:10:07,860 --> 00:10:13,620
there was a drop of water but that's pretty much it now all you have to do is take the screw

151
00:10:12,180 --> 00:10:18,779
out unplug these power connectors and you can pull that graphics card out

152
00:10:15,839 --> 00:10:24,540
it's pretty freaking sick I made a little mess I'm sorry

153
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:28,620
just a couple drops in terms of changes from the previous aventis this one comes

154
00:10:26,940 --> 00:10:32,339
by default with a dual pump configuration with these super cool kind

155
00:10:30,959 --> 00:10:35,519
of reservoir they're not really distribution plates there's one of those

156
00:10:33,959 --> 00:10:38,459
on the back but they're just kind of cool reservoirs both of them have a D5

157
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:44,459
so that means you're gonna have better flow if you have multiple graphics cards or if one of the pumps were to Die the

158
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:47,640
water would still flow which is kind of important when you have a crazy

159
00:10:45,839 --> 00:10:51,600
system like this the other major change this time around is airflow of course

160
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:55,740
with new components getting hotter and hotter some things had to change in that

161
00:10:53,640 --> 00:11:00,779
regard now at the bottom you have a giant mesh panel here for the 560 mil

162
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:04,920
radiator that's on the bottom here on the other side there's a 280 mil

163
00:11:02,459 --> 00:11:09,060
radiator and on the top there's a 420 Mill radiator three radiators every

164
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,779
single aventum comes with three radiators which is funny because the

165
00:11:10,740 --> 00:11:15,899
stock configuration of this thing can come with a 30 50. they told me the

166
00:11:14,940 --> 00:11:21,420
reason for this is a lot of their customers will just take the graphics card out then you can put an air-cooled

167
00:11:19,500 --> 00:11:25,440
card or when you order the system you could spec out whatever custom crap you

168
00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:28,920
want like dual 4090 single 40 90 whatever you want now believe it or not

169
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:32,519
the back side looks pretty much as good as the front so let's check it out

170
00:11:30,839 --> 00:11:36,000
it's stuck oh it's on push pins they're all on push

171
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:39,000
pins all right I know what I'm doing on the back like the previous generation

172
00:11:37,380 --> 00:11:43,440
there's the big distribution block curiously there are two fans kind of

173
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,980
just chilling here with the side panel on there's like that much space between

174
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:50,700
the fan and the panel but they are there sort of for a reason there's a fan

175
00:11:49,260 --> 00:11:55,200
controller back here that gets pretty hot and it also kind of covers the back

176
00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:58,620
of the motherboard to help cool the CPU I don't know how much of a difference it

177
00:11:56,579 --> 00:12:04,800
actually makes but the other main reason is just that it looks cool rather than

178
00:12:01,380 --> 00:12:06,540
just being cool see look fans

179
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:12,180
on the bottom here you can see where the 280 mil radiator I was talking about

180
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:14,880
before how does this come up oh okay

181
00:12:12,180 --> 00:12:19,320
oh look at that 280 mil red and then over here is the power supply this is an

182
00:12:16,260 --> 00:12:22,140
HX 1500i which is pretty much as high as

183
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:27,240
you will go this thing is very prototype and like 3D printed laser cut trust me

184
00:12:25,079 --> 00:12:30,980
the final one will be better I'm just going to let them put that back

185
00:12:28,740 --> 00:12:30,980
on

186
00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:38,339
it's going to angle down look what I just kicked this system is also

187
00:12:36,660 --> 00:12:43,740
launching at the end of q1 along with the lumos at a starting price of 3750

188
00:12:41,339 --> 00:12:50,940
maybe up to four grand for that you're looking at a 7950x AMD processor 64 gigs

189
00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:52,680
of ddr5 and like I said before a 50

190
00:12:50,940 --> 00:12:55,920
Series card but of course you can upgrade it to whatever you want now

191
00:12:54,180 --> 00:12:59,220
unfortunately after all of that the digital storm guys didn't bring a

192
00:12:57,420 --> 00:13:03,120
monitor and didn't bring a keyboard and mouse so I don't get to Game on any of

193
00:13:00,839 --> 00:13:06,000
their fancy gaming computers so instead I'm just going to take this one home

194
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:09,180
along with my ShortCircuit hoodie ltdstore.com

195
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:13,019
bye that was the digital storm suite at CES

196
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:18,480
2023 if you guys like this video like the video get subscribed
