WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.520 all right guys so I'm here at the Masters overclocking Arena from MSI I'm 00:00:03.639 --> 00:00:09.679 here at the welcome Booth right now I'm actually sort of co-hosting this event 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 00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:18.640 some of the stuff going on here this is at the pull position uh Las Vegas 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 00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:26.359 some go-karting and then they can also check out the live overclocking over 00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:31.519 there so we got some swag we have uh vibrating hand 00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:33.840 grenades which is bizarre and then we 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:00:59.199 --> 00:01:06.159 achieve a one gz overclock on air it's been quite a popular product over its 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 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 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 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:27.799 critical aspects for an overclocking card it also has two 8 Pin PCI Express 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:32.720 connectors and it is capable of running an up to three-way probably four-way too 00:01:30.520 --> 00:01:36.920 but up to three-way SLI configurations because it does have two SLI Bridges 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 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 00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:49.040 cooler this is a twin frozer 3 design 00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:51.520 stock cooler with dual 92 mm fans and it 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 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 00:02:01.039 --> 00:02:07.240 using their uh ever popular Cyclone 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 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:15.840 an 18 phase pwm design 2 gigs of memory 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:20.800 just like a normal 6970 and what else have they done here 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 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 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 00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:39.000 but not least we have goldplated connectors for our dual mini display 00:02:36.239 --> 00:02:44.280 port HDMI and dual DVI connectors I didn't notice that on the GTX 580 00:02:42.040 --> 00:02:50.560 lightning but you can see that that one has uh goldplated DisplayPort HDMI and 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:51.959 dual H and dual DVI as well so let's 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 00:02:53.680 --> 00:03:00.560 these motherboards over the next uh couple weeks but we've got some h67 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:05.560 boards so these are supporting Intel's latest core I3 and core i5 well they 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 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:14.280 board because if you're buying a core i7 I would definitely recommend spending a 00:03:12.440 --> 00:03:20.720 couple extra bucks to get a K series processor and the h67 chipset does not 00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:23.799 support multiplier changing so you really shouldn't use a K series 00:03:22.040 --> 00:03:27.840 processor in it these are the boards that I'm more interested in these are 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 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:37.040 board meaning it only has single Graphics up to their lowest end G Series 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:40.040 board so this is a great value board that has support 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 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:53.120 out has support for dual SLI and Crossfire in adx adx mode Let's Move On 00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:55.640 along so the gd65 is an upgraded version 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 00:03:58.239 --> 00:04:04.680 just a couple key differences you can see there are some spots on this board 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 00:04:08.040 --> 00:04:14.519 one has it has more say to 6 gbit per second ports it also 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 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:22.600 the back whereas the 55 board does not 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 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:29.720 yeah there we go we got V checkpoints here at the top whereas here we only 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 00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:39.520 made on the 65 version and it looks like 00:04:36.400 --> 00:04:40.919 this one is actually mislabeled this is 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 00:04:44.039 --> 00:04:49.280 one's supporting up to three-way SLI and Crossfire you've also got a 00:04:47.320 --> 00:04:53.320 supplementary power connector here in order to have full support for all those 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:57.840 gpus it does have more power phases using 00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:00.039 a oh man it looks like a 10 plus 3phase 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 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 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 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 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:23.680 more additional front panel USB 3.0 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 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 00:05:28.919 --> 00:05:36.560 the event are also uh racing here we've got a little test 00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:39.720 bench set up we've also got their big bang X power motherboard which is 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 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:48.919 really like it I've got a 980x extreme Edition processor in mine and this this 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 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 00:05:55.880 --> 00:06:02.560 also a little bit longer because normally there'd be one slot here and 00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:07.039 then we we've got 1 2 3 4 5 6 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:10.160 78 eight PCI Express 16x physical slots 00:06:07.039 --> 00:06:12.120 now these aren't going to all run at 16x 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 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:21.199 unboxing of this board and find out how they've managed to achieve this many PCI 00:06:18.479 --> 00:06:25.440 Express slots on a p67 motherboard because remember that board is only 00:06:22.599 --> 00:06:30.039 natively going to support a single 16x or dual 8X and a single 4X PCI Express 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 00:06:31.880 --> 00:06:40.199 supplementary PCIe six pin power connector dual 8 Pin CPU power 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 00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:51.160 10 11 12 13 14 15 looks like a 16 plus 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:55.520 2phase power design and then we've got support for dual Channel DDR3 memory 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 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:05.039 something like that I can't even begin to speculate until I have some actual 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 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:11.599 design my bad there might actually be other stuff buried in there all right 00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:18.039 we've got our 24 pin connector in its ideal location we've got voltage 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:20.440 checkpoints we've got uh four PCI SATA 3 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 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:31.400 eight additional usb3 ports on the back panel of this board although I mean 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 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 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:44.319 special case to house this particular motherboard but we're going to get some 00:07:42.520 --> 00:07:50.240 pretty good performance out of the core i7 2600k or any future processors with a 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 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 00:07:57.440 --> 00:08:05.080 this overclocking event as well as some of the cool camera setups that we're 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:07.840 using to see uh all of the that we're 00:08:05.080 --> 00:08:12.759 using to actually broadcast live to a live audience for this uh for this event 00:08:09.919 --> 00:08:16.919 we've got our control Booth over here we have live score updates so we actually 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:22.039 already finished the super pie 32m portion of the competition and now all 00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:26.879 of the teams are about half an hour into the 3D Mark 11 competition right now 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 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 00:08:35.680 --> 00:08:42.120 portion of the competition let me just have a look at the scores really quick 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:48.040 here uh at 26257 yes I believe that they were the 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:54.399 winners for that one so remember the Super PI 32m is actually only 40% of the 00:08:50.760 --> 00:08:57.040 total score and 3D Mark 11 is 60% of the 00:08:54.399 --> 00:09:00.839 total score here's the uh Command Center other Command Center where I'm doing my 00:08:58.880 --> 00:09:06.120 live broadcast C and right now my partner in crime reie from MSI is 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:09.200 interviewing a couple of ladies and I think that pretty much covers everything 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 00:09:10.680 --> 00:09:17.800 of the uh tables where these guys are overclocking in real time right now so 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 00:09:20.040 --> 00:09:25.440 i7 980x extreme Edition 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:28.519 processor right now they're playing around with their temperatures to make 00:09:27.079 --> 00:09:32.720 sure that they're getting the optimal balance between the low possible 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:36.079 temperatures and not going down too low so that they run into any instability or 00:09:34.839 --> 00:09:40.959 cold bug issues let's see I thought I had someone 00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:45.560 over here who was blowtorching his pot in order to uh bring the temperatures up 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:50.040 a little bit you can see everything's getting pretty frosted over 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 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:59.640 think one of the teams over here actually had some volt mods on their GTX 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 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 00:10:04.760 --> 00:10:13.680 want to do is disrupt these guys as they maintain the delicate balance that is 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:15.240 required for this kind of overclocking 00:10:13.680 --> 00:10:21.519 so they're trying to get into Windows right now it looks like got paper towels 00:10:17.880 --> 00:10:23.440 all over so that's uh ghetto fabulous of 00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:27.640 course look at that you can see the liquid nitrogen that is uh boiling away 00:10:26.160 --> 00:10:32.560 there under the immense heat load that is an overclocked Intel 4E i7 980x so 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:36.279 thank you for checking out my video don't forget to subscribe to lonus Tech 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
