1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,640
so the traditional way to build a gaming machine you got your monitor you got

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:10,000
your gaming tower and they're separate

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:12,800
not today so colorful of all people

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:19,279
reached out to sponsor a video featuring the igame g1

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:23,439
a gaming all-in-one that i thought was pretty cool

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:28,560
until i cracked open the box and had a look at this thing

7
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:31,439
that's it it's that thin you compare

8
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:35,840
that to some other gaming monitor and it's like wait a minute they put a

9
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:46,399
whole pc in there too let's check this thing out shall we

10
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:51,280
accessories packing

11
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:58,719
whatever they sponsored this video they knew what they were getting total victim blaming here right now but uh i'm not

12
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:03,039
even sorry so honestly speaking guys i know almost as little about this thing

13
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:06,880
as you do because colorful did send me over

14
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:10,000
a one-pager but the problem is that it

15
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:12,000
really was actually exactly one page

16
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:20,680
there's almost no information on it so i do know that it has an 8th gen hk series

17
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:26,000
processor an rtx 2080 and it features a

18
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:28,080
144 hertz 1440p HDR 400 monitor all

19
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,040
integrated into this single unit i do wonder a little bit about colorful's

20
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,640
customers though like do they really need a warning about not touching the

21
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:37,920
screen when you're when you're using it i guess people are used to touch screens

22
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:43,360
it's the younger generation you know accessory package pretty straightforward

23
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:48,240
got your power cord you got your massive power brick because yes my friends this

24
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:52,720
puppy is looking at needing anywhere up to about

25
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:56,159
330 watts of power i'm actually kind of impressed they've got those kinds of

26
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,560
specs with a passive external power supply it's quite possible that in

27
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:05,119
addition to the mobile CPU colorful is also using a mobile GPU but we're going

28
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:09,920
to find out exactly what kind of turbo speeds we can get out of it in just a

29
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:12,640
moment here i o wise we've got three usb

30
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:18,800
type a's a usb type c Ethernet of some sort we're gonna find out how fast that

31
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:21,120
is our power in HDMI in and out see this

32
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:26,959
is what i'm talking about why doesn't every aio have this because

33
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:31,040
one day eventually this computer will be slow and it would be really nice if it

34
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:34,879
could still be used as a monitor and this one can and then finally we've also

35
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:39,360
got that is presumably a DisplayPort out and a kensington lock so the entire

36
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,800
bottom has your on-screen display controls your headphone and microphone

37
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:47,519
jack nice to see dedicated jacks for those as well as a whole whack of

38
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:51,360
ventilation the bottom here looks like a speaker grille with an array mic as well

39
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,720
as that's either an ambient light sensor or a webcam hard to tell at this point

40
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:59,920
we will find that out later and then there we go the entire top of the unit

41
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:06,080
more ventilation and the back more ventilation

42
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:08,720
and the sides more ventilation so these

43
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:15,920
like gamery accents that are on the back of the monitor are actually

44
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:17,840
just gamery ventilation oh i saw this oh

45
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:21,680
that's cool i thought this was maybe the power button but it's actually a switch

46
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:25,760
for the webcam so i see what's going on down here the

47
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:30,239
ambient sensor is like over here somewhere this is a Windows hello enabled webcam and then it just has a

48
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:34,560
privacy shield on it so you've got sound control reset

49
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:41,200
reposition osd information brightness contrast a white

50
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:44,560
point adjustment overscan and resizing

51
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:47,519
and input select and that is pretty much

52
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:51,680
it so what it looks like is that it's more like

53
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:56,720
a monitor connected to a computer and less of like an embedded displayport

54
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,239
display being connected directly to a mobile GPU but the only way for us to

55
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:04,319
find that out for sure would be to crack it open which i do intend to do first

56
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,640
let's get some games loaded on this thing it really is impressive how thin

57
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:13,519
this thing is like it just looks like a monitor so however the cooling system

58
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:17,840
intakes which is probably through these vents here as well as the bottom it's

59
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:22,479
definitely exhausting at the top oh right i wanted to find out how fast the

60
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,840
Ethernet is gigabit okay so just regular gigabit we can see here it's definitely

61
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:29,840
a mobile GPU in there because the connector here is laptop display and no

62
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:33,120
outstanding motion blur issues which is really lucky because

63
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,639
given that there's not a ton of fine control in the osd they could have

64
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,840
easily cranked up something like the overdrive strength and you could have

65
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,040
ended up with a bunch of weird artifacts depending on how they decided to tune in

66
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,680
and it looks like they've taken a fairly sensible middle of the road approach to

67
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:50,639
it oh that was inevitable

68
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:53,199
it's got RGB lighting all right so while we wait for some

69
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:56,639
games to install let's go ahead and explore the config a little bit more

70
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:01,360
i've loaded up a couple utilities here so first of all in the NVIDIA driver

71
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:07,280
we're definitely running at 2560 by 1440 144 hertz but for those curious no it's

72
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:10,400
not running in g-sync although i will do a driver update and see if that

73
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:17,199
situation changes our CPU is a core i9 8950 hk so it's a 6

74
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:21,360
core processor 2.9 gigahertz base and i haven't really hit it hard enough to see

75
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:26,080
what it'll boost to but you can see right here just dragging a window around

76
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:28,880
it is boosting to 4.2 gigahertz actually that's probably fairly representative

77
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:33,600
now that i think about it because we're also installing doom in the background

78
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:38,320
that's not bad so our all-core turbo is hovering around 3.45 gigahertz not too

79
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,759
shabby we can definitely hear the fan ramp up though

80
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:46,320
now she going oh and it's done already that is not a

81
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:50,880
bad score 1100 pretty good for a mobile chip let's try r20

82
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:55,039
so it's a little bit on the louder side for a desktop because remember we're

83
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:58,240
using laptop components it's a super slim design so it's like really more

84
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:03,280
like a laptop but like flat and in the form of a

85
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,759
monitor but temps are well under control

86
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:09,600
our max there was 70 degrees on the hottest core which is perfectly

87
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:14,000
reasonable for some one of these six core core i9s in fact better than we see

88
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:17,440
in laptops really because realistically because they are able to take in air

89
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,800
from the bottom and exhausted out the top they actually have quite a bit more

90
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:24,720
cooling flexibility here as for our score we are right up there with a 7 700

91
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:28,400
k so we've got a clock speed disadvantage but of course we've got two

92
00:06:26,479 --> 00:06:33,360
more cores meaning that you could expect to get some legitimate work whether it's

93
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:37,360
you know photo editing or graphic design or even light video editing done on

94
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:44,720
something like this what we don't know yet is whether it's a max q or a max p

95
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,160
that is quiet versus performance design

96
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,240
alright we've got some games installed but before we launch them i want to play

97
00:06:47,919 --> 00:06:55,280
a fun little game that i like called find the SSD oem part number it's more

98
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:59,520
fun than it sounds so you fire up task manager and you can see some basic

99
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:02,639
information we've got a 512 gig NVMe SSD from samsung and then a whole bunch of

100
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:06,240
gobbledygook over here so we're gonna go ahead and

101
00:07:04,479 --> 00:07:10,000
key that what is usually some kind of part number into google and we end up

102
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:14,880
with two hits one hit dang that's really not much but that

103
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:22,080
tells us all that we need to know this is a samsung pm 981 so it's not

104
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:26,240
necessarily the same as a 970 pro but it's a little bit better than a 970 evo

105
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:30,479
meaning that you are looking at current gen flagship samsung NVMe SSD

106
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,840
performance on this thing not a bad thing to have one thing that was

107
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:39,440
noticeable about the config overall actually is that it's got two terabytes

108
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,759
of hard drive based storage as well so

109
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:46,000
it really seems like the config here is optimized for something like a lan cafe

110
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:50,800
where you want to save space you want high performance got rtx 2080 got it six

111
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:54,879
core CPU but you don't necessarily mean the top of the line performance and you

112
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:58,319
need enough space to have a big game library but you also don't need it to be

113
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:03,199
that fast so you can go ahead and throw a hard drive in for that very

114
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:05,680
interesting 144 hertz v-sync off

115
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:08,720
graphics let's crank them highest with no motion blur

116
00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:12,240
so i noticed the in-game volume was a little louder than i wanted and my

117
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:16,160
immediate reaction was to go into the osd and adjust the volume in there but

118
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:20,639
nope nope there we go software volume control only

119
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:24,479
my friends let's run the benchmark i love that high refresh rate ips

120
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:28,960
monitors are a thing now like it used to be you either had

121
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:33,120
gaming performance or non-eye searing color fidelity

122
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:36,320
why not both now ramped up really strongly there for

123
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:41,519
a second but it seems like the way they've tuned the fan curve

124
00:08:38,479 --> 00:08:43,680
has it ramping up aggressively against a

125
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:46,640
new heavy load but then actually dialing back a little bit it's not the kind of

126
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,640
thing that you would hear over headphones for example but if you

127
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:56,000
weren't using headphones the fan noise is clearly audible all right fantastic

128
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:59,839
so average FPS of around 90 with details absolutely cranked and

129
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:03,279
60 degrees max not bad

130
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:07,360
i guess that's what happens when you can build what would effectively be a

131
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:12,920
27-inch laptop you've got a ton more space for

132
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:16,399
cooling so our core clocks are up in the

133
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:19,440
1700 megahertz or so range that is not

134
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:21,519
too shabby for a mobile GPU

135
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:24,399
i got to say it is really impressive how far the tech has come in the last few

136
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:28,560
years like this is a great gaming experience

137
00:09:26,959 --> 00:09:32,000
literally built into the back of a monitor so it's sitting next to that

138
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:35,600
skull trail machine that i actually showed a little while ago so this is

139
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:39,200
what a super high-end gaming rig looked like 11 years ago actually guys if

140
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,160
you're not already subscribed make sure you are so you don't miss our follow-up

141
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:50,240
on this one we're going to be taking our skull trail machine and hooking it up with two rtx 2080 ti's in sli just to

142
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,240
see what happens in the meantime though

143
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:59,120
what is going on here does that one screw just lift up the whole thing

144
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:03,120
so you turn this thing that's why it was so hard to turn and there's like a

145
00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:08,320
little mechanism in there you see that that like pries up the computer

146
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:12,240
oh i think i got it yep there it goes

147
00:10:09,839 --> 00:10:17,279
he's a madman ladies and gentlemen oh yep there it is we got three sides

148
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:20,959
and once you got three sides the battle is basically over oh

149
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:29,760
by the way if you love the videos or even if you don't check out our merch

150
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:35,600
lttstore.com it's good quality stuff

151
00:10:32,959 --> 00:10:41,200
okay interesting

152
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:42,560
they've actually packed the entire

153
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:48,399
pc inside this shielded

154
00:10:44,959 --> 00:10:51,600
enclosure so a lot of what i thought was

155
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:53,920
ventilation holes actually isn't so all

156
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:58,560
that stuff along the bottom seems to be just kind of for for styling so the

157
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:03,760
front is speaker grilles for these two large speakers here and then those ones

158
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:06,640
at the back are intakes and actually the vast majority of the cooling is handled

159
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:11,839
by these two large heat exchangers here each of

160
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:16,640
which has two heat pipes and like i had suggested this one is dedicated to

161
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:20,800
cooling the CPU with just this one thick heat pipe and then this one does most of

162
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:24,240
the heavy lifting for the GPU with a third heat pipe presumably coming off

163
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:27,519
the GPU going over to this one now that we've gone this far i don't think

164
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:31,200
there's any way that we can avoid taking off the shield though i sort of assumed

165
00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:35,920
everything would be kind of bare inside but it's much more tightly integrated

166
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:38,560
than some of the gaming aios that i've seen in the past

167
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:43,839
look at this that has got to be the thickest thermal pad i've ever seen now normally you

168
00:11:42,079 --> 00:11:47,360
probably wouldn't bother with a thermal pad on something like this but because

169
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:52,800
of the way they've designed the cooling with almost no sort of just general

170
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:57,440
airflow in here and most of the cooling handle by taking this heat and moving it

171
00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:02,000
out via heat pipes and then expelling it i can see why they'd feel like they need

172
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:06,320
to do that so this our m.2 drive here is also cooled by a thermal pad up against

173
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:11,680
this giant heat spreader so that's what it actually is it seems to be more of a

174
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:14,079
heat spreader here's our Intel wireless

175
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:18,639
and then as i had guessed it our CPU is handled by the one heat pipe and our GPU

176
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:23,360
and memory is handled by these three and that explains why our thermals were so

177
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:27,279
good because these are chunky heat pipes pretty impressed by those i just want to

178
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:31,519
see if there's more sodium slots down there really does not look like it like

179
00:12:29,839 --> 00:12:35,120
maybe there's somewhere else to solder them on but i don't think the actual

180
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:39,839
mounts are soldered on so the last thing of note here is that we do have an

181
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:44,079
additional m.2 slot so we could expand our storage again should we see fit

182
00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:46,880
so that's it that's all guys if you like this teardown we've actually got a

183
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:51,480
monitor repair guide that you're definitely going to want to check out and bye
