00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.640
so the traditional way to build a gaming machine you got your monitor you got

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:10.000
your gaming tower and they're separate

00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:12.800
not today so colorful of all people

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:19.279
reached out to sponsor a video featuring the igame g1

00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:23.439
a gaming all-in-one that i thought was pretty cool

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:28.560
until i cracked open the box and had a look at this thing

00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:31.439
that's it it's that thin you compare

00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:35.840
that to some other gaming monitor and it's like wait a minute they put a

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:46.399
whole pc in there too let's check this thing out shall we

00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:51.280
accessories packing

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

00:00:56.160 --> 00:01:03.039
even sorry so honestly speaking guys i know almost as little about this thing

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:06.880
as you do because colorful did send me over

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:10.000
a one-pager but the problem is that it

00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:12.000
really was actually exactly one page

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

00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:26.000
processor an rtx 2080 and it features a

00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:28.080
144 hertz 1440p hdr 400 monitor all

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:31.040
integrated into this single unit i do wonder a little bit about colorful's

00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:34.640
customers though like do they really need a warning about not touching the

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

00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:43.360
it's the younger generation you know accessory package pretty straightforward

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:48.240
got your power cord you got your massive power brick because yes my friends this

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:52.720
puppy is looking at needing anywhere up to about

00:01:49.880 --> 00:01:56.159
330 watts of power i'm actually kind of impressed they've got those kinds of

00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:00.560
specs with a passive external power supply it's quite possible that in

00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:05.119
addition to the mobile cpu colorful is also using a mobile gpu but we're going

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

00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:12.640
moment here i o wise we've got three usb

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

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:21.120
is our power in hdmi in and out see this

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:26.959
is what i'm talking about why doesn't every aio have this because

00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:31.040
one day eventually this computer will be slow and it would be really nice if it

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

00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:39.360
got that is presumably a display port out and a kensington lock so the entire

00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:42.800
bottom has your on-screen display controls your headphone and microphone

00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:47.519
jack nice to see dedicated jacks for those as well as a whole whack of

00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:51.360
ventilation the bottom here looks like a speaker grille with an array mic as well

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

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

00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:06.080
more ventilation and the back more ventilation

00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:08.720
and the sides more ventilation so these

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:15.920
like gamery accents that are on the back of the monitor are actually

00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:17.840
just gamery ventilation oh i saw this oh

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

00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:25.760
for the webcam so i see what's going on down here the

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

00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:34.560
privacy shield on it so you've got sound control reset

00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:41.200
reposition osd information brightness contrast a white

00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:44.560
point adjustment overscan and resizing

00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:47.519
and input select and that is pretty much

00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:51.680
it so what it looks like is that it's more like

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:56.720
a monitor connected to a computer and less of like an embedded displayport

00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.239
display being connected directly to a mobile gpu but the only way for us to

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

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:08.640
let's get some games loaded on this thing it really is impressive how thin

00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:13.519
this thing is like it just looks like a monitor so however the cooling system

00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:17.840
intakes which is probably through these vents here as well as the bottom it's

00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:22.479
definitely exhausting at the top oh right i wanted to find out how fast the

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:25.840
ethernet is gigabit okay so just regular gigabit we can see here it's definitely

00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:29.840
a mobile gpu in there because the connector here is laptop display and no

00:04:28.080 --> 00:04:33.120
outstanding motion blur issues which is really lucky because

00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:36.639
given that there's not a ton of fine control in the osd they could have

00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:39.840
easily cranked up something like the overdrive strength and you could have

00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:43.040
ended up with a bunch of weird artifacts depending on how they decided to tune in

00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:45.680
and it looks like they've taken a fairly sensible middle of the road approach to

00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:50.639
it oh that was inevitable

00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:53.199
it's got rgb lighting all right so while we wait for some

00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:56.639
games to install let's go ahead and explore the config a little bit more

00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:01.360
i've loaded up a couple utilities here so first of all in the nvidia driver

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

00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:10.400
not running in g-sync although i will do a driver update and see if that

00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:17.199
situation changes our cpu is a core i9 8950 hk so it's a 6

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

00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:26.080
what it'll boost to but you can see right here just dragging a window around

00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:28.880
it is boosting to 4.2 gigahertz actually that's probably fairly representative

00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:33.600
now that i think about it because we're also installing doom in the background

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

00:05:36.400 --> 00:05:41.759
shabby we can definitely hear the fan ramp up though

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:46.320
now she going oh and it's done already that is not a

00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:50.880
bad score 1100 pretty good for a mobile chip let's try r20

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

00:05:53.280 --> 00:05:58.240
using laptop components it's a super slim design so it's like really more

00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:03.280
like a laptop but like flat and in the form of a

00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:05.759
monitor but temps are well under control

00:06:03.280 --> 00:06:09.600
our max there was 70 degrees on the hottest core which is perfectly

00:06:07.520 --> 00:06:14.000
reasonable for some one of these six core core i9s in fact better than we see

00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:17.440
in laptops really because realistically because they are able to take in air

00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:20.800
from the bottom and exhausted out the top they actually have quite a bit more

00:06:18.880 --> 00:06:24.720
cooling flexibility here as for our score we are right up there with a 7 700

00:06:23.280 --> 00:06:28.400
k so we've got a clock speed disadvantage but of course we've got two

00:06:26.479 --> 00:06:33.360
more cores meaning that you could expect to get some legitimate work whether it's

00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:37.360
you know photo editing or graphic design or even light video editing done on

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

00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:46.160
that is quiet versus performance design

00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:50.240
alright we've got some games installed but before we launch them i want to play

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

00:06:53.440 --> 00:06:59.520
fun than it sounds so you fire up task manager and you can see some basic

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

00:07:00.880 --> 00:07:06.240
gobbledygook over here so we're gonna go ahead and

00:07:04.479 --> 00:07:10.000
key that what is usually some kind of part number into google and we end up

00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:14.880
with two hits one hit dang that's really not much but that

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

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

00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:30.479
meaning that you are looking at current gen flagship samsung nvme ssd

00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:33.840
performance on this thing not a bad thing to have one thing that was

00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:39.440
noticeable about the config overall actually is that it's got two terabytes

00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:41.759
of hard drive based storage as well so

00:07:39.440 --> 00:07:46.000
it really seems like the config here is optimized for something like a lan cafe

00:07:43.840 --> 00:07:50.800
where you want to save space you want high performance got rtx 2080 got it six

00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:54.879
core cpu but you don't necessarily mean the top of the line performance and you

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

00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:03.199
that fast so you can go ahead and throw a hard drive in for that very

00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:05.680
interesting 144 hertz v-sync off

00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:08.720
graphics let's crank them highest with no motion blur

00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:12.240
so i noticed the in-game volume was a little louder than i wanted and my

00:08:10.400 --> 00:08:16.160
immediate reaction was to go into the osd and adjust the volume in there but

00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:20.639
nope nope there we go software volume control only

00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:24.479
my friends let's run the benchmark i love that high refresh rate ips

00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:28.960
monitors are a thing now like it used to be you either had

00:08:26.400 --> 00:08:33.120
gaming performance or non-eye searing color fidelity

00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:36.320
why not both now ramped up really strongly there for

00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:41.519
a second but it seems like the way they've tuned the fan curve

00:08:38.479 --> 00:08:43.680
has it ramping up aggressively against a

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

00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:50.640
thing that you would hear over headphones for example but if you

00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:56.000
weren't using headphones the fan noise is clearly audible all right fantastic

00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:59.839
so average fps of around 90 with details absolutely cranked and

00:08:57.920 --> 00:09:03.279
60 degrees max not bad

00:09:01.040 --> 00:09:07.360
i guess that's what happens when you can build what would effectively be a

00:09:05.760 --> 00:09:12.920
27-inch laptop you've got a ton more space for

00:09:09.920 --> 00:09:16.399
cooling so our core clocks are up in the

00:09:12.920 --> 00:09:19.440
1700 megahertz or so range that is not

00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:21.519
too shabby for a mobile gpu

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

00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:28.560
years like this is a great gaming experience

00:09:26.959 --> 00:09:32.000
literally built into the back of a monitor so it's sitting next to that

00:09:30.560 --> 00:09:35.600
skull trail machine that i actually showed a little while ago so this is

00:09:33.920 --> 00:09:39.200
what a super high-end gaming rig looked like 11 years ago actually guys if

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

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

00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.240
see what happens in the meantime though

00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:59.120
what is going on here does that one screw just lift up the whole thing

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

00:10:00.959 --> 00:10:08.320
little mechanism in there you see that that like pries up the computer

00:10:05.760 --> 00:10:12.240
oh i think i got it yep there it goes

00:10:09.839 --> 00:10:17.279
he's a madman ladies and gentlemen oh yep there it is we got three sides

00:10:14.800 --> 00:10:20.959
and once you got three sides the battle is basically over oh

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

00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:35.600
lttstore.com it's good quality stuff

00:10:32.959 --> 00:10:41.200
okay interesting

00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:42.560
they've actually packed the entire

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:48.399
pc inside this shielded

00:10:44.959 --> 00:10:51.600
enclosure so a lot of what i thought was

00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:53.920
ventilation holes actually isn't so all

00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:58.560
that stuff along the bottom seems to be just kind of for for styling so the

00:10:56.640 --> 00:11:03.760
front is speaker grilles for these two large speakers here and then those ones

00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:06.640
at the back are intakes and actually the vast majority of the cooling is handled

00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:11.839
by these two large heat exchangers here each of

00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:16.640
which has two heat pipes and like i had suggested this one is dedicated to

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

00:11:19.040 --> 00:11:24.240
the heavy lifting for the gpu with a third heat pipe presumably coming off

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

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

00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:35.920
everything would be kind of bare inside but it's much more tightly integrated

00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:38.560
than some of the gaming aios that i've seen in the past

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

00:11:42.079 --> 00:11:47.360
probably wouldn't bother with a thermal pad on something like this but because

00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:52.800
of the way they've designed the cooling with almost no sort of just general

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:57.440
airflow in here and most of the cooling handle by taking this heat and moving it

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

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

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

00:12:08.560 --> 00:12:14.079
heat spreader here's our intel wireless

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

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:23.360
and memory is handled by these three and that explains why our thermals were so

00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:27.279
good because these are chunky heat pipes pretty impressed by those i just want to

00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:31.519
see if there's more sodium slots down there really does not look like it like

00:12:29.839 --> 00:12:35.120
maybe there's somewhere else to solder them on but i don't think the actual

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

00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:44.079
additional m.2 slot so we could expand our storage again should we see fit

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

00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:51.480
monitor repair guide that you're definitely going to want to check out and bye
