1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,400 We've got a brand new set for ShortCircuit, and that means we need a brand 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:10,480 new computer. So, we asked Maingear if they could send over some of the most 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:14,640 top-end hardware available, so that when we're gaming, you know it's as good as 4 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:18,960 it's going to get. See? 5 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:22,200 Progress. Progress. That's great. 6 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:25,640 That's what building computers IS ALL ABOUT. 7 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:31,680 GOOD THING WE DON'T HAVE TO SEND THIS BACK. NICE. NICE. That's right. We've got the 8 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:35,560 Doom the Dark Ages limited edition computer. And the nicest thing is, if 9 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:41,560 you do buy the case from Haven, it's just the Haven 420. However, if you buy 10 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:45,200 this specific limited edition case, you will get a couple of things that are 11 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,920 different from the normal builds. Oh, man. How do I get this out of this? It's 12 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:52,920 a 360 mil AIO, and it's also just a lot of high-end components, so it's like 13 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:56,880 really heavy. Um, but you can still do this. 14 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,880 Yeah. 15 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:03,200 All right. I actually do really like 16 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:07,640 that even just the Haven HS420 has this really cool uh Doom design on it. So, 17 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:11,400 it's not like some, you know, "Oh, I'm buying the HS420, and then it's the Doom 18 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,880 one." It's like, "No, even your box has the cool Doom stuff on it." I've also 19 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:20,040 been playing Doom since the '90s, uh probably before I should have been, to 20 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,720 be clear. I was just a wee a wee lad. 21 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:26,760 Um, but I've been a big fan ever since. I'm not sure if you'll be able to buy this 22 00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:30,200 by the time the video comes out, but as of time of filming, there are some left 23 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:34,320 available, but they're all at Micro Center. So, if you do want this case, I 24 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:41,160 guess you're going to Micro Center. This is one green lean machine, and I'm going 25 00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:42,640 to flip it over. That's one part, and 26 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:48,400 then the other Oh, it's going to go right on my head. There we go. 27 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:53,440 This also might be a bit of a hot take, but I love Doom 3. I liked how scary it 28 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:57,880 was. It was very scary as a kid. Maybe now that we've got this sick machine, 29 00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:02,160 because oh my god, this thing looks incredible. 30 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:06,560 Um, on top of the normal Haven HS420 styling, you've got some nice touches, 31 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,399 like the Doom symbol here. I actually don't know what that specific 32 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,840 symbol means. I don't know if that makes me a fake fan. I don't know 33 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:17,120 uh where the symbol originally came from, but uh it's also on our power button. It's also on the side of the box 34 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,880 there. Um, when I see that symbol, I think Doom. I really don't know the lore 35 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:26,040 reason behind it. So, please kill me in the comments. 36 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:29,240 Call me a fake fan. But, because HS420 is so easy to take apart, 37 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:34,320 we're not going to like tear this whole thing down. I just love how easy it is to take the top off, so that you can 38 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:38,040 just like see that we've got a nice 360 mil AIO up here. 39 00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:40,960 Oh, there's a bunch of stuff in I haven't even seen the insides yet. Okay, 40 00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:46,280 let's get uh let's get these out. I'm pretty sure you 41 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,880 got to take this top part off. Oh, yeah. 42 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:54,240 Is there a peel or anything? No, no internal peel. They've just got this Maingear decal here, and then this cool 43 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:56,240 Doom decal here. Woah! That's cool. 44 00:02:54,240 --> 00:03:00,280 They've got a Doom logo GPU [music] bracket, anti-sag bracket. Looks a 45 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:03,440 little 3D printed on the top here, but you know, that's actually pretty easy to 46 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:08,040 fix on your own if you really care about seeing some layer lines. 47 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:11,320 Let me get this out of out of the way. There's all our pink foam. 48 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:16,000 Don't forget the skull. >> What skull? The skull. 49 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,760 Yo! What is this thing for? So, this what 50 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:24,680 this comes with the computer? Yeah, open it up. >> Haven Danger strong magnets. How do 51 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:29,840 those work? Woah! What the hell? 52 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:34,640 It's a cover for your reservoir. We have an AIO already pre-installed, but if you 53 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:37,880 do ever upgrade this with like a big reservoir or something, cuz you do your 54 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,480 own custom loop, which would look pretty cool, cuz you can put some red water in 55 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:46,640 there, make it look like blood, whatever. Um, but it'll slot right on top here, reservoir, like this. But, if 56 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:51,120 you don't have that, and you've just got the same computer we do, 57 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:54,320 it's magnetic. So, you can kind of stick it like just about anywhere, cuz all 58 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:58,720 these parts are metal. It'll go there for now. And also, I completely neglected all this other 59 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,640 stuff, like you've got this other like cool Doom imagery. It's all spooky hell 60 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:08,200 stuff. I don't know if this is Latin or not, but kind of looks weird. 61 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:12,240 So, that's super cool. Oh my god, even around the fans? 62 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:17,120 Oh, and then down here it says, "Haven 420 limited edition Doom PC number one." 63 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,640 Did you know they gave us the first one? >> No. We got number [music] one. We are 64 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:25,920 number one. Bell kept reading, and he told me that you could also, they say, 65 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:29,000 put it outside as a headphone hanger, which it looks like it. It totally looks 66 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:33,920 like you put a band of headphones right there. Bell doesn't know I'm stealing the skull 67 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:40,560 later. Shh. From the 68 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:44,600 logo on the back to the custom uh top IO 69 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:47,200 cover to like the red cables to all the 70 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:52,000 random Doom script here, and like the neat just color match on the fan, and 71 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:56,000 this has got to be probably one of the coolest themed PCs that I've ever 72 00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:00,360 opened. I haven't opened a lot of them, but uh this is my favorite. You guys haven't 73 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,800 even seen the back of this thing yet. It still looks so cool from the front. Oh 74 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:11,760 my god, move again. There is, in fact, an RTX 5090 and a 9950X3D, 75 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:14,680 along with 64 gigs of DDR5 running at, I think, 6,000 mega transfers per second. 76 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:22,040 So, pretty top of the line. And then we've got a 2 terabyte Gen 4 or Gen 5 NVMe 77 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:26,600 drive. Either way, plenty fast for gaming. But, as you can see, the red 78 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,640 cabling has continued along the back here. And I just I don't know, I love 79 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,680 the style of this case. And I love how the power supply like doesn't take up a 80 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:39,680 giant chunk of space in the bottom like it does, but It's apparently 72 lb. 72 81 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:42,040 lb? My god. 82 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:46,640 Oh, man. I don't know if it's the case or the water or what, but 72 lb is a 83 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:51,720 lot. Uh you saw us struggle earlier. If you buy this computer, uh maybe look for 84 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:55,200 help in setting it up. Even if you're very alone, hire someone on TaskRabbit 85 00:05:53,800 --> 00:06:00,040 to come by and give you a hand. There's no shame in that, you know, everyone needs help sometimes. Um, but yeah, like 86 00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:04,480 even the top with like the power button and the cool uh I think the leather 87 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:08,440 strap is always there, but like it really fits with all this. And then the 88 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:13,520 custom green uh color, you know, the classic Doom green for 89 00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:16,160 Doom guy. Man, I just 90 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:19,760 I love this thing. I got so excited that I actually forgot that there was uh some 91 00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:25,560 extras included. These are probably power supply cables. Um, it has a 1250 W 92 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:30,360 80 plus gold power supply, by the way. So, even with the high-end components, 93 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:35,560 it should be totally fine. Uh so, this looks like Yep, extra power supply 94 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:39,480 cables. Probably all of them, because it looks like they got replaced by 95 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:44,400 something from uh third-party vendor. We've got a nice C13 power cable. 96 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:46,880 Maingear sticker. 97 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:50,600 We've also got instructions for our CPU cooler, it looks like. Wait, what's 98 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:55,400 this? So, with a lot of AMD boards, this was common on AM4 as well. Um, when you 99 00:06:53,720 --> 00:07:01,320 put a new cooler on, you actually have to remove the stock hardware. And so, 100 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,960 they've given that to us, because if you have to RMA this, I mean, you probably 101 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:09,000 go back through Maingear, but I don't know, they probably want it. I wonder if the socket cover We've got uh all of the 102 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:14,320 extra cables that come in our motherboard box, like our SATA data 103 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:16,280 cables, uh keycap. 104 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:21,000 PG, that's from Hasrock. 105 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:22,880 Some RGB cables. And uh what else? This 106 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:28,400 is a little Oh, it's like a power switch, but it goes to an antenna? I'm 107 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:31,280 not sure. LVPE4 collision de plastique. 108 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:34,120 That's not what that's for. Wi-Fi. We're probably going to go wired 109 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:38,320 directly to Ethernet, but I'm going to plug these in and attach them just in 110 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:41,960 case. But, enough about cables. Let's see what this thing looks like powered 111 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:47,040 on, after a word from our sponsor. Sharge, their all new IceMag 3 is a 112 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:51,760 10,000 mA power bank that supports next-gen Qi2 25 W wireless fast 113 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:55,760 charging. For folks that like regular old wire charging, it comes with an 114 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:59,640 integrated 35 W USB-C fast charging cable. Plus, it has a built-in 10,000 115 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:03,400 RPM micro fan to ensure device temperatures remain within safe limits 116 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:07,360 during 25 W charging. If you find yourself on airplanes a lot, no need to 117 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:10,960 worry, as it complies with TSA carry-on battery rules. And it just looks sick as 118 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,160 hell with its transparent design combined with RGB lighting. Treat 119 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:19,200 yourself this holiday season, and pick up a Sharge IceMag 3 at the link below. 120 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:25,040 Are you tired of boring screwdrivers? Boom! Four new colors of the brand new 121 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:30,760 LTT transparent screwdriver. Plasma purple, cryo teal, molten orange, and 122 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:33,880 carbon black. They're see-through, they're awesome, and they're probably 123 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:40,080 going to sell out. The Prismagic screwdrivers are launching on December 26th at 6:00 a.m. PST. Sign up at the 124 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:46,480 link below to get notified. Collect them all, or maybe pair them with our brand 125 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,480 new bit case and all-over print hoodie. 126 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:52,240 Bell put the computer down, and he plugged stuff in, but he didn't he didn't flip the switch on the back of 127 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,720 the power supply. So, luckily, that's an easy fix. And if 128 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:59,520 it's not, well, our computer's hooped, and uh that's not good. But, uh you 129 00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:04,560 know, there's already lights going to the motherboard. Hey, oh, sick, and it's all red out of the box, too. 130 00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:07,586 >> Keep an eye on that AIO. WHY A 131 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:12,840 WOAH! [screaming] [groaning] THAT'S AWESOME. It's playing what, Doom 132 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:15,840 1 1? I kind of wish you could move it, though. Like, that's my only issue is 133 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:21,040 it's like in the middle. I want it to be full screen here, or full screen on the 134 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:23,760 side. Uh right now, it's like split. So, I don't know if that's adjustable in 135 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:28,720 software, but I really hope it is. I'm being told that we've done a video on the Panorama before, and it is 136 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:32,320 adjustable. So, we're going to adjust that for the future. Not for this video, 137 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:36,720 but this is our new set PC. So, absolutely in the future. First thing 138 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:40,480 I'm going to do is make sure XMP is on. It's from Maingear, 139 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:43,800 so of course, it's set. They've also enabled rebar right out of the box, 140 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:49,560 which I mean, I think most motherboards just kind of do that these days on their own, but hey, it's nice to know that 141 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:52,400 they didn't disable it, and um that's where some of your performance is going 142 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:56,800 to come from. So, you want to make sure that everything's configured. All right, 143 00:09:54,080 --> 00:10:00,920 we're playing Doom the Dark Ages on our Doom the Dark Ages computer from Main 144 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:06,800 Gear and I've got everything set to ultra nightmare except for path tracing 145 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:08,640 and we've got DLSS set to quality. I 146 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:12,720 personally won't go lower than quality. Yeah, we're getting 147 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:17,000 easy 140 120, 148 00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:21,400 31% lows. Like this plays great. But let's, you know, 149 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:25,680 some of you don't like DLSS even at quality. So, let's turn it off and 150 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:31,400 see what we get at native 4K. Okay, now we're native using I think TAA was the 151 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:35,040 only option which I don't like TAA, but you know, you can probably use DLAA 152 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:39,600 instead of DLSS and that's fine. But without upscaling, we're looking at like 153 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:48,080 still 90 frames per second average. 1% is only in the 84, 85, like 88 range. 154 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:50,080 Um so, yeah. The truth is, if you spend 155 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:54,240 a lot of money on your computer, it's going to do just about whatever you 156 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,920 want it to do when it comes to gaming, especially in a really well-optimized 157 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:04,240 game using id Tech. But what about other games? Well, the lab did test a slew of 158 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:06,600 games at both 1440p and at 4K and they 159 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:10,440 all tested admirably. Basically, as good as you're going to expect from the 160 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:14,720 hardware that we've got in this machine. It also ran nice and cool during all of 161 00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:20,720 that. So, you know that the case, the fans, the GPU, everything is working as 162 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:23,520 it should along with our nice 360 mil 163 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:29,400 AIO keeping our CPU nice and cool. And I should really hope that it does because 164 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:34,800 as spec'd, this machine costs about $6,000. 165 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:38,680 So, it's a lot of money, but also we needed a really high-end PC for our 166 00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:42,400 brand new ShortCircuit set and I'm really glad that Main Gear sent it over. 167 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:46,200 They didn't sponsor this video, but thanks Main Gear. We do appreciate it. 168 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:51,120 Ultimately though, it's up to you to decide whether one, you want to spend 169 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:55,268 this much money on a computer and two, whether you want a super cool limited 170 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:59,640 edition Doom version of your computer. [music] Whatever you want to do, if you 171 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:03,720 want to get more information and stay up to speed on what's coming out, make sure 172 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:07,640 to stay subscribed to ShortCircuit. I'm Ploof. This is our new set. Check out 173 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:12,200 the LTT that we're going to release if you want to learn anything more about that. Goodbye.
