00:00:00.599 --> 00:00:06.440
so the point of this video is going to be twofold first of all I'm giving you

00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:11.320
guys an update on that prototype machine that crazy Russian was working on so

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:17.800
this is the Define XL with our dual GTX 580s we've got the core i7 950 processor

00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:22.439
and now you can see I've got the h70 water cooling installed because in order

00:00:20.439 --> 00:00:26.640
to keep doing our benchmarking testing validation all that good stuff we had to

00:00:24.439 --> 00:00:30.679
go ahead and put the system together as intended so the first thing I want you

00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:35.800
guys to notice is that the temperatures even though we are running Linux are

00:00:32.559 --> 00:00:39.960
still around 60° on this CPU now we're

00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:41.920
not overclocked yet but even at stock

00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:46.640
speeds that is stock speeds and voltage on that CPU we managed to drop 20° off

00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:50.039
the low temperature of the CPU now bear in mind as soon as you start

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:54.199
overclocking that difference between the stock cooler and a good solid

00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:58.320
aftermarket cooler like the h70 is going to be a lot more because that heat load

00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:01.879
will overwhelm the stock cooler whereas the h70 can keep it under control

00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:06.680
so I just want to show you guys some of the features of the Define XL and why we

00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:11.240
chose it for this uh for this particular build first of all check out these side

00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:15.200
panels I mean these must weigh like uh wow this must weigh like a few pounds

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:19.920
each like no no problem I mean I think the case uh empty with no Hardware in it

00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:24.520
with all the sound dampening materials and the steel construction weighs about

00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:28.840
30 lbs so it's very very heavy so that also means it's very very solid there's

00:01:26.520 --> 00:01:32.600
absolutely no flex to it whatsoever in terms of features going to go ahead and

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:36.680
remove that so this is the Black version of the case it's also available with a

00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:41.119
titanium which is kind of like a like a gunmetal gray front Okay so I want to

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:44.119
show you guys all of the features I know I've been promising to show you features

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:47.680
this whole time but what I've really been doing is killing time so that I can

00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:52.280
get around to the back of the case and show it to you so you can cable things a

00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:56.280
little bit more tidily at the back than uh than we've done here the uh the

00:01:54.320 --> 00:01:59.439
reason for this is that we're basically throwing it together to do some

00:01:57.479 --> 00:02:03.079
prototype testing this is not a finished production machine so we'd have all

00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:06.280
these zip tied together and we'd have them all sort of tucked out of the way

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:13.319
but speaking of tucking cables out of the way look how much space you have at the back like you see so many cases with

00:02:10.679 --> 00:02:17.239
space designed so that you can cut cables around the back but then there's

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.760
actually no Gap like we've actually here here get around a little bit further

00:02:18.920 --> 00:02:25.920
even you can see there's more than an inch of space between these Drive cages

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:30.599
and the side panel you can tuck any cables back there same thing behind the

00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:34.000
hard driv you've got like 2 in of space to actually put your cables in the back

00:02:32.200 --> 00:02:38.879
of the drives and then tuck any extra cabling away out of sight and out of

00:02:36.760 --> 00:02:41.720
mind so that's pretty cool and so they've also got the removable

00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:46.000
motherboard back plate I did a full unboxing of the Define XL uh once

00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:49.159
already so you can see all the features of it there so we're just going to go

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:54.280
through like really quickly here so the Dual 140 mm front fans uh we still have

00:02:52.280 --> 00:03:00.239
to install this one this is just an in progress shot uh because we took the 140

00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:03.560
mil fan from the back where the H7 70 is now installed so it's here and we're

00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:07.159
going to go ahead and throw that in the front for this build and speaking of

00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:10.440
places to tuck cables we've also got a really cool place like you wouldn't be

00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:16.080
able to tell that this power supply isn't modular looking at this build from

00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:17.400
any angle other than like way down here

00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:21.959
where you can see that we've tucked a bunch of cables up here so you've got a

00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:26.200
ton of space to hide away your cables on your power supply even if you're using a

00:03:23.640 --> 00:03:29.920
non- modular power supply overall spec of the machine so I'll show you where we

00:03:27.640 --> 00:03:34.120
mounted everything we've got our SSD here in one of the uh Drive sliders so

00:03:32.200 --> 00:03:38.879
you can hold up to 10 hard drives or 10 ssds then we have our storage drive here

00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:43.560
remember this is the performance Edition so it has a storage drive it has the

00:03:40.760 --> 00:03:48.439
bigger power supply it has the Dual GTX 580s it has the faster RAM it has the

00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:54.680
h70 instead of the H50 and there's a bunch of advantages to getting the

00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:57.200
performance Edition uh build so um yeah

00:03:54.680 --> 00:04:00.879
I mean cable management is uh mostly been shown you've got these little

00:03:58.519 --> 00:04:05.920
silicone guys here you can see that unlike the Define R2 they've been

00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:11.760
dramatically improved on the Define X XL as well as the Define R3 so they're much

00:04:08.239 --> 00:04:13.680
more flopsy for lack of a better word

00:04:11.760 --> 00:04:16.000
and uh because with the old ones basically as soon as you put something

00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:23.560
through it they were kind of like stuck in that position whereas these ones are much easier to uh not like damage and

00:04:21.400 --> 00:04:27.639
bend so there that was a long drawn out way of saying that they're a higher

00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:31.479
quality uh higher quality grommet and I think that covers pretty

00:04:29.919 --> 00:04:35.320
much everything I wanted to say I mean you can check out the huge fan here on

00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:40.280
the top of the case so you've got a ton of exhaust going out the back of the

00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:44.680
case here all of that hot air from the uh from the CPU Cooler as well as any

00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:48.080
air coming from around the mosfets you've got nice air flow over the RAM

00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:55.400
it's just taking all that and blowing it out the back of the case so thank you for checking out this little video about

00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:57.880
the Vesta 6050 in progress build as well

00:04:55.400 --> 00:05:03.680
as a sort of an extreme gaming machine build in the fractal design Define excel

00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:08.199
hope you sort of got a pretty good idea of what kind of cooling features and

00:05:05.840 --> 00:05:12.560
