1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,520
all right guys so I'm here at the Masters overclocking Arena from MSI I'm

2
00:00:03,639 --> 00:00:09,679
here at the welcome Booth right now I'm actually sort of co-hosting this event

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:12,599
so I'm not just arriving right now but I'm just going to show you guys sort of

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:18,640
some of the stuff going on here this is at the pull position uh Las Vegas

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:22,480
Raceway so U anyone who comes to the event can also sign up I believe to do

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:26,359
some go-karting and then they can also check out the live overclocking over

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:31,519
there so we got some swag we have uh vibrating hand

8
00:00:28,519 --> 00:00:33,840
grenades which is bizarre and then we

9
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:36,680
also have some dog tags and whatnot so there's a little sign so I'm going to

10
00:00:35,079 --> 00:00:41,079
head in and we're going to check out some of the new products that MSI is

11
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:45,719
showing off oh apparently there's also a buffet coming out so I'm going to have to check that out in a little bit all

12
00:00:44,039 --> 00:00:49,719
right here we go so this is the video card table so there's some stuff here

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:56,480
that we're already familiar with we've got the n460 GTX Hawk which as you guys

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:01:02,120
probably know was one of the first well I believe it was the first GTX 460 to

15
00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:06,159
achieve a one gz overclock on air it's been quite a popular product over its

16
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:10,840
life cycle we've also got a few things here that are brand new so this is one

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:16,560
that I've never seen before this is a GTX 580 lightning so I'll have a look at

18
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:21,880
the overall specs here it has a 16 phase pwm design that is one of the most

19
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:27,799
critical aspects for an overclocking card it also has two 8 Pin PCI Express

20
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:32,720
connectors and it is capable of running an up to three-way probably four-way too

21
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:36,920
but up to three-way SLI configurations because it does have two SLI Bridges

22
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:41,000
we've also got voltage readout points here on the top of the card and it looks

23
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:45,880
like we're using a let's see how many heat pipes is that on the uh stock

24
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:49,040
cooler this is a twin frozer 3 design

25
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:51,520
stock cooler with dual 92 mm fans and it

26
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:56,000
looks like we've got 1 2 3 4 five heat pipes directly over the GPU there so

27
00:01:53,759 --> 00:02:04,560
that's a pretty cool one we've also got a Radeon 6850 and 6970 so the 6850 is

28
00:02:01,039 --> 00:02:07,240
using their uh ever popular Cyclone

29
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:14,000
cooler and then uh this one right here so this is a 6970 lightning so this uses

30
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,840
an 18 phase pwm design 2 gigs of memory

31
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,800
just like a normal 6970 and what else have they done here

32
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:25,160
to make this card custom well I can see a couple things right off the bat the

33
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:28,959
Dual bio switch well it's been moved I guess we've also got the voltage readout

34
00:02:27,239 --> 00:02:34,040
points as well as the Dual 8 Pin power connectors we saw the GTX 580 and last

35
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:39,000
but not least we have goldplated connectors for our dual mini display

36
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:44,280
port HDMI and dual DVI connectors I didn't notice that on the GTX 580

37
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:50,560
lightning but you can see that that one has uh goldplated DisplayPort HDMI and

38
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,959
dual H and dual DVI as well so let's

39
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:56,120
move along here we're going to have a look I'll be doing unboxings of all of

40
00:02:53,680 --> 00:03:00,560
these motherboards over the next uh couple weeks but we've got some h67

41
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:05,560
boards so these are supporting Intel's latest core I3 and core i5 well they

42
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:10,920
support core i7 as well but I probably wouldn't be putting a core i7 on an h67

43
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:14,280
board because if you're buying a core i7 I would definitely recommend spending a

44
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:20,720
couple extra bucks to get a K series processor and the h67 chipset does not

45
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:23,799
support multiplier changing so you really shouldn't use a K series

46
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:27,840
processor in it these are the boards that I'm more interested in these are

47
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:31,760
their p67 boards so we're moving from the lowest end so this is a c series

48
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:37,040
board meaning it only has single Graphics up to their lowest end G Series

49
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:40,040
board so this is a great value board that has support

50
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:46,799
for there's a lot of noise there right now okay well hopefully I can drown it

51
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:53,120
out has support for dual SLI and Crossfire in adx adx mode Let's Move On

52
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:55,640
along so the gd65 is an upgraded version

53
00:03:53,120 --> 00:04:00,159
of the gd55 so it actually uses the same PCB same number of power phases there's

54
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:04,680
just a couple key differences you can see there are some spots on this board

55
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:10,159
where there are things that appear to be well missing so let's show you what this

56
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:14,519
one has it has more say to 6 gbit per second ports it also

57
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:20,079
has let's see what else what else is changed oh it has dual e SATA ports on

58
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:22,600
the back whereas the 55 board does not

59
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:26,199
and I I recall seeing more changes when I did my unboxing but I think it's oh

60
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,720
yeah there we go we got V checkpoints here at the top whereas here we only

61
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:36,400
have solder points for them so those are a couple of the key changes that they've

62
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:39,520
made on the 65 version and it looks like

63
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,919
this one is actually mislabeled this is

64
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:46,000
has the same label in front of it as that one but this is a p67a gd80 so this

65
00:04:44,039 --> 00:04:49,280
one's supporting up to three-way SLI and Crossfire you've also got a

66
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:53,320
supplementary power connector here in order to have full support for all those

67
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:57,840
gpus it does have more power phases using

68
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,039
a oh man it looks like a 10 plus 3phase

69
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:03,840
power design but I'm actually not 100% % sure one thing you know for sure it is

70
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,840
is that it is using Dr Moss and their military Class 2 concept what else do we

71
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:15,360
have on this one we've got say to 6 GB we've got uh wow six USB 3.0 ports on

72
00:05:13,479 --> 00:05:21,080
the back panel so that's pretty exciting thing to see as well as look at that two

73
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:23,680
more additional front panel USB 3.0

74
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:27,360
ports so we got a TV we got the racetrack back there so that's a pretty

75
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:31,880
cool thing to be able to check out I know a lot of the guys who are here for

76
00:05:28,919 --> 00:05:36,560
the event are also uh racing here we've got a little test

77
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:39,720
bench set up we've also got their big bang X power motherboard which is

78
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:43,880
actually the one that I use in my own system I'm a big fan of this board

79
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:48,919
really like it I've got a 980x extreme Edition processor in mine and this this

80
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:53,280
is new this one I haven't seen before this is a non-standard layout board so

81
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:57,440
you can see it's actually a little bit wider than a normal ATX board and it's

82
00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:02,560
also a little bit longer because normally there'd be one slot here and

83
00:05:59,319 --> 00:06:07,039
then we we've got 1 2 3 4 5 6

84
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:10,160
78 eight PCI Express 16x physical slots

85
00:06:07,039 --> 00:06:12,120
now these aren't going to all run at 16x

86
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:16,000
bandwidth I believe this will I'll have to follow up for you guys when I do an

87
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:21,199
unboxing of this board and find out how they've managed to achieve this many PCI

88
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:25,440
Express slots on a p67 motherboard because remember that board is only

89
00:06:22,599 --> 00:06:30,039
natively going to support a single 16x or dual 8X and a single 4X PCI Express

90
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:34,280
Lots let's see what other kinds of features we've got so we do have a

91
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:40,199
supplementary PCIe six pin power connector dual 8 Pin CPU power

92
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:48,240
connectors for that LGA 1155 CPU we've got a 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

93
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:51,160
10 11 12 13 14 15 looks like a 16 plus

94
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:55,520
2phase power design and then we've got support for dual Channel DDR3 memory

95
00:06:53,919 --> 00:07:00,400
we've got some dip switches up here which I'm not actually sure what those are for maybe they're for overvolting or

96
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:05,039
something like that I can't even begin to speculate until I have some actual

97
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:08,199
specs in front of me here oh and it looks like that's a 24 phase power

98
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,599
design my bad there might actually be other stuff buried in there all right

99
00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:18,039
we've got our 24 pin connector in its ideal location we've got voltage

100
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:20,440
checkpoints we've got uh four PCI SATA 3

101
00:07:18,039 --> 00:07:27,120
6 GB per second ports we've got support for up to four front USB 3 ports and

102
00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:31,400
eight additional usb3 ports on the back panel of this board although I mean

103
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:35,759
really I can talk about all the stuff all the other things all I want but the

104
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:40,759
reality of it is like check this out 8 PCIe 16x slot so you're going to need a

105
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:44,319
special case to house this particular motherboard but we're going to get some

106
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:50,240
pretty good performance out of the core i7 2600k or any future processors with a

107
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:54,360
motherboard like this so I'm also going to take you guys sort of a little bit

108
00:07:51,879 --> 00:08:00,280
further in you can check out the uh all the liquid nitrogen that is on hand for

109
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:05,080
this overclocking event as well as some of the cool camera setups that we're

110
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,840
using to see uh all of the that we're

111
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:12,759
using to actually broadcast live to a live audience for this uh for this event

112
00:08:09,919 --> 00:08:16,919
we've got our control Booth over here we have live score updates so we actually

113
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:22,039
already finished the super pie 32m portion of the competition and now all

114
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:26,879
of the teams are about half an hour into the 3D Mark 11 competition right now

115
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:32,599
looks like team Pier is in the is in the lead at this moment but it was actually

116
00:08:30,039 --> 00:08:38,120
uh Team I believe it was team over the edge that took the Super PI 32 million

117
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:42,120
portion of the competition let me just have a look at the scores really quick

118
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:48,040
here uh at 26257 yes I believe that they were the

119
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:54,399
winners for that one so remember the Super PI 32m is actually only 40% of the

120
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:57,040
total score and 3D Mark 11 is 60% of the

121
00:08:54,399 --> 00:09:00,839
total score here's the uh Command Center other Command Center where I'm doing my

122
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:06,120
live broadcast C and right now my partner in crime reie from MSI is

123
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:09,200
interviewing a couple of ladies and I think that pretty much covers everything

124
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:12,720
I wanted to show you guys here I'll just take you around to have a look at some

125
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:17,800
of the uh tables where these guys are overclocking in real time right now so

126
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:23,600
we've got an MSI GTX 580 running with an MSI Big Bang X power and an Intel Core

127
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:25,440
i7 980x extreme Edition

128
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:28,519
processor right now they're playing around with their temperatures to make

129
00:09:27,079 --> 00:09:32,720
sure that they're getting the optimal balance between the low possible

130
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:36,079
temperatures and not going down too low so that they run into any instability or

131
00:09:34,839 --> 00:09:40,959
cold bug issues let's see I thought I had someone

132
00:09:38,279 --> 00:09:45,560
over here who was blowtorching his pot in order to uh bring the temperatures up

133
00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:50,040
a little bit you can see everything's getting pretty frosted over

134
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:54,680
here let's kind of cruise around and see what else is going down I think uh I

135
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,640
think one of the teams over here actually had some volt mods on their GTX

136
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:02,680
580 so this is one of the crazy iier looking setups I don't want to get in

137
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:07,040
the way here so yeah please do step in front of me if you need to last thing I

138
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:13,680
want to do is disrupt these guys as they maintain the delicate balance that is

139
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:15,240
required for this kind of overclocking

140
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:21,519
so they're trying to get into Windows right now it looks like got paper towels

141
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:23,440
all over so that's uh ghetto fabulous of

142
00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:27,640
course look at that you can see the liquid nitrogen that is uh boiling away

143
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:32,560
there under the immense heat load that is an overclocked Intel 4E i7 980x so

144
00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:36,279
thank you for checking out my video don't forget to subscribe to lonus Tech

145
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:42,519
tips and I'm going to have more coverage coming to you guys from CES 2011 here
