the Intel ghost canyon knock was really sweet because it was like
a five liter chassis with an i9 a 20 70 it was
we've never really seen something that compact and that powerful
but here today we have something that's well
it's bigger and it's also more expensive
but it's also way more powerful you're able to get up to a 20 80 ti
and i'm excited this is the simply knock
vortex it's uh it's kind of like a ghost
canyon neck but it's also not i don't know we'll see
let's get into it people should do like unboxing shipping
crates that are just absolutely loaded with tape
oh they've already beat the ten thousand dollar main gear computer by
including a power cord so that's great
cool vortex product overview housed an ultra compact all steel cooler master
chassis the vortex by simply okay so what do we have for oh this
thing's this thing's pretty loaded so we have an i9 processor so that would
be the 9980hk that's eight cores up to five gigahertz i believe kind of
depends on the chassis it's in NVIDIA GeForce 2080 ti 64 gigabytes of
RAM a one terabyte NVMe SSD i guess they
pre-loaded overwatch sure i'm bad at overwatch so we might
not play that but we'll see and a 650 watt power supply so the ghost
canyon duck only had 500 watts which it's more than enough for pretty much
everything but if you have a 2080 ti the 650 watt you're gonna want warning
we strive for quality in everything we do we have added a foam insert to safely
ship your graphics card please remove the foam insert before
turning on thank you simply neck team all right that's fair
enough i've said this many times before everyone here has horrible terrible
things can happen to your pc while it's in shipping and anything that prevents it from
arriving in pieces i quite like except for when it arrives
in a bunch of pieces you get to build that's kind of fun
oh weird they have red usb
ports on the front here i guess that's the sort of thing that's like
gamers want red usb ports maybe
i find it kind of weird it looks like one of those like back
in the olden days you'd have like usb 2
sort of like weird stuff and also just
this simply knock sticker i think on a system that costs as much
as this one does they could have gone for something a bit more premium then again
up here this thing looks pretty cool i am quite glad that they
included that warning about the foam because i would have just turned this on
without looking on the inside if i was a consumer i'm pretty sure it does look
like they have quite a bit of a different layout than in the ghost canyon muck so in the ghost canyon
the power supply was kind of down in the basement
and it was like a thin almost server
style power supply this one's up top i'm guessing it's also
a weird form factor but we'll see you soon why is this not coming off
there it is the rtx
2080 ti and that phone's really in there oh geez
or manhandling
oh losing points immediately cooler
master why would you do this to us on the ghost canyon duck they had this
super cool thing where you're able to slide off the top
piece and it just had these little contacts that allowed for the fans to
get power without any leads whereas right here they've got leads
not that it actually matters like it's just two fan connectors pretty easy but
at the same time until they're better so they do have a
normal power supply in here i was a bit confused at first
because it looks like up top was the power supply but it's just a like extension
that runs through the case to a normal cooler master power supply that's
up front here i'm guessing it's a sfx yeah just an sfx power supply like
normal anyway we're getting ahead of ourselves a tiny bit here so this is the simply knock vortex and it's
a 7.9 liter chassis that's based on the ghost canyon neck so
you've got the their compute unit chummy up in here i
i'm finding it slightly harder to justify it in a
7.9 liter size chassis because that's the same basic
size as like the lock ghost i think that's like
right around there 8.1 i believe Dan case is even smaller than that
and it knows you get to build like your own whole computer assuming that of
course there's supply and you can get one i'm also just
in general not very happy with the cable management
like the power cord is just
looping around and kind of goes wherever like they know how big this is going to
be they don't need the extra bit there and like what is
this it's not bad but it's pretty far
from good one thing i also just really don't
understand is if you look at the back here there's a PCIe kind of it looks like
that you have an expansion port there but if you look on the inside you can't add
anything i guess it doesn't really matter because it is giving the compute unit here
a bit more air but at the same time on the Intel one
it's drawing air directly from the outside whereas here it's drawing
air from in beside the gp how do you even get air to there okay
how do these fans work okay so the fans on the top
are blowing out and there's nothing that's really
feeding air to the compute unit so that's this part right here like it
would be blowing air out and so it's good that these are exhausting and i guess like the bottom
is pretty open so it's going to draw air up through but i just
find it weird that they decided to do it this way instead of
flipping it around like they have on the Intel version and just drawing air
directly from the outside probably fine yeah i guess we'll see one
good thing about this layout is it's easier to take the GPU out i guess wow this has to be
the most generic ass 2080 ti i've ever
seen it's a plastic shroud it's got one big
old blower fan which is probably fine but i don't know
the like founders edition has two like the
performance is going to be the same but you paid like twelve hundred dollars for
this thing and ugh that's not what you get if you
pay 1200 for something that didn't come in this package so if you go for the bare bones
kit which i think starts at seventeen hundred dollars if you already have like
your own GPU this right here is basically what you get so this does appear to be just
the normal compute unit that you get in the ghost canyon knock so
if you want to see what's inside here look at either the LTT video or Linus's
ShortCircuit on it and the rest all looks pretty bog
standard so yeah i guess at this point let's put
it together freaking magic yeah nailed it wow please
don't screw that up editor okay well we're all set up and ready to
go but there is one thing that's missing and that's a sponsor segue
to display with display you get metal prints and you can choose from over 800
000 unique designs they have a magnetic mounting system that decreases the risk
of damaging your walls we even got some of our own designs on the platform now you can
actually have me like holding a laptop there use the code circuit to say 15
at the link below where's the power button
a little higher higher higher oh
cool that looks really fun with this
table wait a second so it's still on the spec
sheet here that we have 64 gigabytes of RAM but we actually have 32 it is showing up
as two 16 gigabytes sodium so at least like one of them isn't dead but
at the same time i was hoping for 64. games are installed
let's jump into good old doom eternal and well it's it's going to do good
even if this thing is like horribly handicapped it's got a 2080 ti in it
like it's it's not going to be slow so freaking
loud like the the fan controls just not
good all right so we're looking at like 200 FPS
unsurprisingly it's working great
who would have ever thought that a 3 700 gaming computer was good at being a
gaming computer um what are our temps looking like after
that little bit oh she's hot it's not throttling though
so this is about the same as what i was
getting on the ghost canyon neck 90 watts continuous she's toasty but
it's not cooking for the GPU though 83 degrees i'm not
super happy with that i imagine if they went with the reference design with the two
fans right here drawing in air you'd be able to have much better temps than that
it's also really loud so i i'm sorry simply knock
i i just don't know what the conclusion is here you're paying
thirty seven hundred dollars for a system that if you were to build it
yourself you could make for about twenty seven hundred dollars it's like a
thousand dollar premium for a cooler master case
just not great like the details like these rivets
the cable management the fans being really loud
i wish i had better news than that well anyway i'm
i'm sorry simply knock yeah that's about it but
you guys should get subscribed because we do have another project that has to
do with simply knock on LTT that is going to absolutely blow your
minds i can't actually tell you what it is but i just got a bill back for reverse
engineering for that project and it's very expensive so yeah get
subscribed hit like that's about it have a great day see you
later
