1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,440
I don't know about you but I am sick of the same old Brands raising their prices

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:12,040
whenever they feel like it I think it's time to move on to someone new someone

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:15,240
hungrier with fire in their belly wait I

4
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:17,920
know red dragon um actually there's only

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:23,199
one D so wouldn't it be red dragon or red

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:25,279
dragon no red dragon and they make more

7
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:30,519
than just budget oriented peripherals these days they have such a broad lineup

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:35,640
including PC components that we could easily build a sick battle

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:40,480
station and save some money by ditching the mainstream carriers and flying

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:44,520
Scarlet Drake the only question is does Red Dragons still just focus on stuff

11
00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:48,920
you'd buy for your little brother or have they leveled up to manufacturing

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:55,199
gear you'd want to buy for yourself just like I've leveled up this segue to our

13
00:00:52,239 --> 00:01:00,359
sponsor signal RGB ditch the proprietary software and control the RGB lighting of

14
00:00:57,359 --> 00:01:02,440
over a 100 brands using a single clean

15
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:06,839
interface with hundreds of effects and game Integrations check it out using our

16
00:01:04,559 --> 00:01:06,839
link

17
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:18,720
today red dragon makes a lot of what we're going to need to complete our

18
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:23,159
setup but they don't make everything so we're going to start with a speed round

19
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:29,200
of the parts that invoke smog without being red dragon TM if you know what I

20
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:32,960
mean starting with the AMD ryzen 7 5800

21
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:36,079
x3d team Red's am4 gaming Beast okay

22
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:38,320
we've also got an Asus b450m Dragon

23
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:45,799
motherboard it's called dragon and it's red 32 gigs of gskill ddr4 at 2600 megat

24
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:54,680
transfer per second Bridges look so fine they get donkey excited and of course an

25
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:58,439
adata xpg sx8100 NP SSD that uh if you

26
00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:02,520
squint the logo looks like a

27
00:01:58,439 --> 00:02:04,960
dragon no squint squint more moving on

28
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:09,319
while red dragon does actually make some older RAM and SSD products for markets

29
00:02:07,399 --> 00:02:13,000
like Brazil in India we struggled to find a source that both had them in

30
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:17,200
stock and was able to ship them to us and besides we wanted to focus more on

31
00:02:15,519 --> 00:02:22,080
the parts that you might actually consider for your next rig like this

32
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:30,080
case the GC 2118m grind off an option that seems to

33
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:32,040
be available in Far More regions

34
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:38,360
huh that's actually pretty roomy for an matx chassis and it features tempered

35
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:43,280
glass on both the side and front for a

36
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:44,959
180° view 180 red dragon not 270 math

37
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,920
s's aside this thing looks kind of decent it's got a removable fan filter

38
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:52,720
on the top it's got these reverse airflow fans so that you don't have to

39
00:02:50,840 --> 00:03:00,000
look at the ugly backs side of the Hub and oh that's interesting these two fans

40
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,280
are actually one unit so the convenient

41
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,480
part is that you can plug them in with just one cable but the inconvenient part

42
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,480
is that you can't separate them and put them somewhere else got a fan Mount down

43
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:13,040
here that'll draw a fresh air in from another filtered intake on the bottom

44
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:16,680
and oh look at that it's even compatible with back to front

45
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:20,400
motherboards I kind of like it now that that's all in there and looking pretty

46
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,959
good I might add it's time for cooling which is going to be handled by the HL

47
00:03:21,959 --> 00:03:30,799
360 AR argb CCW 3014 argb okay we got a

48
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:37,000
complete completely different product from what we ordered but it looks the

49
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:39,239
same it looks like a generic AI cooler

50
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:44,640
which makes sense because it's kind of a generic AO cooler I do like though that

51
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:49,760
red dragon has helpful graphics on the product page that show the size and flow

52
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:56,000
path for the radiator and I also like the infinity mirror and included fluid

53
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,959
Dynamic bearing fans with that said

54
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,239
looking at their claims about the pump I'm not sure if I can believe that they

55
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:07,360
mirror is truly infinite or that their bearings

56
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:10,120
are truly fluidly Dynamic 20 DB since

57
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:15,720
I'm complaining red dragon your website I have some notes that desperate little

58
00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:20,600
animation on the add to cart button that is super annoying I understand how

59
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:26,400
online shopping works you guys and I will add this thing to my cart when I am

60
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,199
gosh danged ready also while there is no

61
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:32,639
one right way to run a company that ships all around the world there there

62
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:38,080
are wrong ways and having very different websites for different regions with then

63
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:43,840
separated product focused and sales focused sites makes buying directly from

64
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,680
you a very low confidence experience

65
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:50,240
also while we're at it can you please clearly Mark the products or even entire

66
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:54,560
categories that you no longer sell I was quite disappointed to find out that none

67
00:04:52,280 --> 00:05:00,320
of these gaming chairs were available at least we can still get power supplies

68
00:04:56,479 --> 00:05:03,560
like the red dragon PSU 007 an 80 plus

69
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:06,560
gold 850 W ATX fully modular power

70
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:09,800
supply with 80 plus gold certified

71
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:12,720
compact 160 mm size and low noise RGB

72
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:17,479
fan Zer RPM comma 100% Japanese capacitors comma full mod cables and no

73
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,840
I didn't just read out the entire description in textback that is the

74
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:27,840
title of this power supply on their web page wow that title really drags

75
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:32,479
on jokes about the title aside this is actually a reasonably compelling looking

76
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,960
package and it doesn't immediately feel cheap and garbage maybe we'll have to

77
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:42,560
have the lab take a look at it and make up a little test report David do you think we could do that heck yeah sounds

78
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:46,400
good look at it's even got the 12vt 2x6 connector and everything fully

79
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:57,600
modular just need to finish up the cable

80
00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:02,240
management don't look at that uh instead look at this the one last part we have

81
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:07,000
for our build that is not made by Red Dragon as they don't currently make

82
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:11,919
graphics cards although we did notice that there is a GPU option in their drop

83
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:16,000
down that doesn't go anywhere yet so I don't know what's

84
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:21,240
going on with that maybe they just have a member on their team who really wishes

85
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:24,599
that they made gpus or maybe they have a member on their team who really just

86
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:29,840
doesn't care about managing their website either way we went with this Red

87
00:06:26,759 --> 00:06:32,199
Devil 5700 XT from powercolor

88
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:36,319
what Devils have horns dragons have horns besides once it's all together

89
00:06:34,199 --> 00:06:42,599
who's going to call me on it that looks pretty good doesn't it great job red

90
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:44,039
dragon and adjacent let's fire it up oh

91
00:06:42,599 --> 00:06:48,520
before we can do that we're going to need some peripherals we couldn't find a

92
00:06:46,039 --> 00:06:53,240
ton of information at least in English on the coral 2 Gaming monitor what does

93
00:06:51,240 --> 00:07:00,240
coral have to do with Dragons exactly more than the PSU O7 80 plus gold okay

94
00:06:57,199 --> 00:07:03,879
okay okay I get it any who it's 14 40p

95
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:08,440
apparently overclocks to 180 HZ with a 1

96
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:13,080
millisecond response time ow and the

97
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:16,080
website says VA curved or IPS but claims

98
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:19,240
a 1,00 to1 contrast ratio meaning I

99
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:23,199
guess it's IPS oh that's the coral one

100
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:26,240
so it's IPS probably VA that is a cheap

101
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:28,599
ugly power brick oh wow yeah and that is

102
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:34,080
a not height adjustable stand oh this one at least has DisplayPort well the

103
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:38,599
corl one not is on the website it says VGA and HDMI I don't know if that's true

104
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:45,039
because their website is very unreliable big

105
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:48,240
moment hey all the RGB Works let's

106
00:07:45,039 --> 00:07:50,599
go those of you wondering by the way uh

107
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:56,680
yes I reversed that one fan on purpose nocta posted a blog post recently where

108
00:07:53,159 --> 00:07:58,319
they found that um intaking air right at

109
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:02,720
the top front of the case and then immediately exhausting it was actually

110
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:05,879
detrimental for cooling so I was like why don't we try having three intakes at

111
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:10,400
the front and then two at the back for positive pressure and to avoid that

112
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:17,720
situation now I just need some inputs and for that we've got oh good three

113
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:21,039
anime products or at least two anime

114
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:22,479
products nope three anime products um

115
00:08:21,039 --> 00:08:27,039
red dragon you know you don't have to put anime in the product name right I

116
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:30,440
can see that it's anime starting with the mouse pad wow do they ever make some

117
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:36,399
bold claim skin-friendly waterproof coated lint

118
00:08:33,719 --> 00:08:39,800
roll are they saying that it is a lint roller or that they lint rolled it

119
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:45,399
before they shipped it to you look at this print quality oh

120
00:08:42,479 --> 00:08:48,720
no that is some really unimpressive it's got texture that would be really that's

121
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:54,839
going to peel in like a week huh remember that bit recently

122
00:08:52,120 --> 00:09:00,040
where Lisa Zooms in on Andrew's crotch and it's all caught in 4k when I was

123
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:03,640
feeling the texture I was like

124
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:07,120
that is a really light Mouse which is a

125
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:09,640
feature these days but also just kind of

126
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:13,720
feels cheap with that said the specs seem like it should be pretty decent it

127
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:19,600
features both Bluetooth and dongle connections with 1,000 HZ pulling rate

128
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:23,279
and it handles up to 26,000 DPI using

129
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,839
what is probably a pixart PW 3395 sensor

130
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:30,600
we say probably because the website doesn't really have much in the way of useful information wow this is a Vibe

131
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:37,240
already and we haven't even got the keyboard on here yet the starblade k77

132
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:40,519
pro this is probably the strongest entry from Red Dragon which kind of makes

133
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:44,399
sense because I think this is kind of how they got their start was budget

134
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:51,800
gaming keyboards in this case it operates in USBC Bluetooth or 2.4 GHz

135
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:53,320
mode it's got noise dampening foam Time

136
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:58,760
5 and actually sounds pretty darn good

137
00:09:56,839 --> 00:10:06,240
according to Red Dragon it uses custom lubed linear mint Mambo switches and it

138
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:08,040
even offers a Mac and PC mode not a bad

139
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:13,680
little package how much does it cost it's currently 56 bucks on sale really I

140
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:17,760
mean definitely a little bit plasticky but in terms of how it actually feels

141
00:10:15,399 --> 00:10:22,000
it's not bad and the mouse is cheaper than we thought it's like between 20 and

142
00:10:19,839 --> 00:10:25,880
35 bucks depending on which variant you go with not going to lie I'm actually

143
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:32,440
feeling kind of good about this setup right now like this thing is whisper Qui

144
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:34,360
quiet at idle which sure it's idling but

145
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:38,600
a bad fan is a bad fan and it's not going to be quiet at any speed and you

146
00:10:37,079 --> 00:10:44,120
know yeah obviously this isn't the world's most amazing 180 HZ display but

147
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:48,839
it's 180 freaking Hertz and the mouse feels great great for 20 bucks what is

148
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:55,200
it 25 20 it was 20 bucks on sale for the yellow one how would you like to feel a

149
00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:56,839
whole lot worse okay here's some more

150
00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:00,839
really not impressive looking accessories oh

151
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:13,399
that headband though it feels better

152
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:17,560
than I expected oh joy it doesn't go all the way up uh maybe in the dark it goes

153
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:24,120
up higher maybe the surge frostbite

154
00:11:19,959 --> 00:11:27,600
Soundbar will be better with its oh wow

155
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:29,480
style five programmed backlight patterns

156
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:33,839
when you lead with that on your sound bar tells you that sound quality was not

157
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:37,920
your top priority uh let's go ahead and put this here and what else you got I've

158
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:44,480
got the Hitman webcam it's called the GW 800 online uh but when we got the box

159
00:11:40,959 --> 00:11:46,720
it's got a different name so Au mode is

160
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:50,560
it Bluetooth oh it does about Bluetooth no way okay that makes it a little bit

161
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:55,720
more comp you know what it's kind of cool looking in an I'm 14 and no girls

162
00:11:53,560 --> 00:12:00,519
have ever been to my bedroom kind of way how much is it $60 all right oh we got

163
00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:06,279
to try the camera hey there we go the webcams working how do I look uh oh wow

164
00:12:04,519 --> 00:12:13,160
does not like that light above me that's for sure see yeah I would say the detail

165
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:17,279
level is fairly low you can barely make out the amazing motherboard pattern on

166
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:22,800
this 64 Oz water bottle from LD store.com these headphones are horrible

167
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:27,320
I don't doubt it for one second why did we pick this game I'll give you three

168
00:12:25,399 --> 00:12:32,720
guesses and the first two don't count how do the mouse and keyboard feel

169
00:12:29,199 --> 00:12:34,560
honestly kind of okay I'd need to play a

170
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:39,079
competitive FPS or something to really know how the mouse is but so far it

171
00:12:37,199 --> 00:12:42,440
seems great for what it is the performance of the PC doesn't really

172
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,240
matter because red dragon doesn't make any of the parts that contribute to that

173
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:53,800
but I am a little confused that we're running Skyrim at between 35 and 59 FPS

174
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:57,839
so it does feel a little kind of lagy I just like the sound of that keyboard I

175
00:12:54,959 --> 00:13:03,079
think it sounds premium for its price oh definitely for $55 bucks red dragon

176
00:13:00,839 --> 00:13:08,199
definitely looking good in their like core competencies here even this monitor

177
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:13,440
the colors are not great but the clarity is there yeah I would it doesn't look

178
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:18,760
like VA dude I think the pixel response time is too good to be VA I like this

179
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:22,959
yeah yeah it doesn't feel cheap anymore once I'm gaming it only feels cheap if

180
00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:26,839
I'm like analyzing it but the clicks are nice they're balanced they're not too

181
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:30,959
light not too heavy I think the mouse is the Highlight for me yeah even though

182
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:35,519
it's full price 36 bucks that's nothing to sneeze at now seems like a good time

183
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,519
for us to try the

184
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:47,480
soundar yeah okay we're struggling a little bit in this game but that's just

185
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:53,560
down to the fact that we're using an older GPU overall this setup actually

186
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:55,000
seems pretty decent if we put all modern

187
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:59,720
Parts in it how much did we pay for all this it was about $690 for all the red

188
00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:06,279
dragon stuff we have today really really yep all the peripherals the monitor case

189
00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:08,000
cooler it's really competitively priced

190
00:14:06,279 --> 00:14:12,279
I thought it was uh going to be just a joke and a tear down of Everything But

191
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:16,759
at the price that they are all this red dragon stuff's not so bad outside of the

192
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:22,040
audio stuff the mouse pad actually like feels really good I actually really like

193
00:14:19,399 --> 00:14:26,759
the case too I think it feels a little cheap sure but for 80 Buck yeah for 80

194
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:31,000
bucks yeah with two tempered glass panels and pretty modern features it's

195
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:36,000
hard for me to say that I would buy them for myself with so many other options

196
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:41,079
available but it's also worth noting that red dragon seems to mostly focus on

197
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:44,120
continents not called North America from a quick browse of their product

198
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:48,360
selection in those other markets it seems like even if riding the Vermilion

199
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:52,360
worm might not make sense for everything over here although some things are

200
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:56,279
pretty good it could be a really great experience somewhere like Brazil or

201
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:59,920
India maybe leave a comment down below with your red dragon experience we're

00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:14,160
car detailing product line what do they just have you like like breathe fire and
