1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:09,840
so my plan today was supposed to be an update on the dual

2
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:16,080
socket 56 core machine i got my heatsink from super micro i got

3
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,039
my instructions

4
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:22,240
at this color color instructions

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:26,880
wow amazing i got my cooler

6
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:31,119
and i specifically said i specifically said

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,800
the motherboard uses the square ilm it

8
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:38,800
doesn't match up because these are for the narrow ilm and

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:41,600
the motherboard uses the square ilm

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,600
and i cried

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,640
first i was sad and then i was mad

12
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:52,640
and then i was super excited because i actually had something that might even

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:57,280
be cooler to show off to you guys so check this out this is

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:03,199
the world's highest box to card size ratio

15
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:07,600
video card that has existed in at least 10 years because this used to be a thing

16
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:10,960
like i remember back when ASUS would have video card boxes that were

17
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:17,280
literally like this big chain tech like those companies they had

18
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:19,200
these giant boxes and the idea was that

19
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:25,439
they were too cheap to buy shelf space to buy frontage space

20
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:29,280
in the retail stores right because that's what you have to do that's how

21
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:35,280
the retail industry works they were too cheap to buy the placements so they just

22
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:37,439
made these gigantic boxes so they

23
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:41,280
wouldn't have to pay but they would have to get a ton of space on the shelf isn't

24
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:45,200
it brilliant i mean where's chaintec at today right

25
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:52,720
anyway so zotac has apparently just reused a box

26
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,680
from an existing gtx 1080 ti you would

27
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:59,600
think except that this arctic storm thing here that looks

28
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:03,040
like a sticker in this mini these aren't stickers they specifically went out of

29
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:09,119
their way to create this this gigantic box

30
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,800
for this tiny graphics card but

31
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:19,280
its size should not should not dissuade you it should not

32
00:02:16,239 --> 00:02:22,480
tell you anything about its power

33
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:26,400
because this is a full-fledged

34
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:29,200
gtx 1080 ti

35
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:33,519
and it is the size of like a 1050

36
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:40,160
so zotac has not only engineered a full

37
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:47,680
1080 ti into something that is the same size as their previous 1080 mini

38
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:50,080
they have also created a fully custom

39
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,760
water cooling solution so you can see here they've got

40
00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:59,280
they've got coverage for the vrms right here they've got pads on the memory

41
00:02:56,879 --> 00:03:03,200
modules right here and right down this side and then they've got a GPU contact

42
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:08,800
area for the 1080 ti so they have created a fully custom water block

43
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:14,640
solution for it as well now i do have some misgivings about

44
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:18,640
their water block design it does not appear to be

45
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:23,360
all copper which depending on your loop

46
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:27,440
configuration may be an issue for you or may not

47
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:31,200
i'm actually a huge fan of what ek's done with their aluminum lineup of

48
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:35,440
products all aluminum products that are lower cost and designed to go together

49
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:40,560
but if you're mixing and matching you can run into issues even if you use

50
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:44,000
anti-corrosive additives

51
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:48,319
so what all we got here we do get a dvi port we get

52
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:53,599
three displayport ports we get one HDMI we get a slightly taller than a pci

53
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:57,439
bracket pcb so they have cheated a little bit there but you got to kind of

54
00:03:55,519 --> 00:04:02,799
give them give them that because realistically with all this space on the

55
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:06,480
top for the connections you were i mean you were going to have to have a bit

56
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:11,280
more space above the card in your case anyway now one thing i wish they had

57
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:14,640
done was rather than come out this way i wish that they had gone with fittings on

58
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:18,959
the top and on the bottom like this but again

59
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:23,840
i'm you know i got to go easy on them dual 8 pin connectors so i would expect

60
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,840
to be able to overclock the stuffing out of this thing and uh in terms of

61
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:33,199
included accessories they got a couple six to eight pins and then they've got a

62
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:35,120
couple of three eighths inch fittings um

63
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:40,000
i remember i still remember back when half inch fittings used to be the the

64
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,600
cat's pajamas and oh interesting i think

65
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,720
these are aluminum okay so yeah it's aluminum block

66
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,320
intended to be used with aluminum products i would recommend or at the

67
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:53,120
very least make sure you use a healthy mix of anti-corrosive additive

68
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,720
all right so to fully appreciate the scale of this thing i want to show it

69
00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:02,639
next to a couple of other cards first of all here is a titan xp

70
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:06,240
collector's edition so

71
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:09,440
it is that much shorter it is a little bit taller

72
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:14,800
see this there we go so it is a little bit taller

73
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,400
but it should theoretically actually that

74
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:22,720
would be really interesting it should only take up a single PCIe slot if you

75
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:26,720
were to cut off the dvi port like we did in our single slot titan mod then

76
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:30,800
compared to one of the most ginormous graphics cards of all time the 6990 this

77
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,960
thing has way more power much smaller size and

78
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:39,520
it'll run completely silently assuming that you have a water cooling lube

79
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,400
whoa so there you have it

80
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:47,680
i don't really have a standard outro for these classic unboxings subscribe and

81
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:51,880
like and maybe we'll run the credits if someone other than me chops it together
