so thanks to MSI for bringing us here this year we would not be here without them you can check out all their
products that they're launching at this show in the description of the video down below also thank you to linda.com
all right guys welcome to the ASUS Booth where we will be checking out the ASUS
GTX 980 TI stricks and the RGB Claymore
keyboard so what's special about the stricks well it's featuring new direct
CU cooling 3 instead of direct CU cooling 2 which has three fans instead
of two fans so if they keep going with this for a while they'll end up with six
fans on Direct C U6 but anyways regardless doesn't matter for heat pipes
they've got two 10 mm heat pipes two 6 mm heat pipes and 1 8 mm heat pipe
cooling it and a new design on those fans but we'll probably talk about those
more later if we get one of these for review back at the office in terms of
performance there's some interesting stuff going on here uh at first I read
the little card and it was like oh GPU clock speed to be determined and memory
clock speed to be determined but then they had their overclocking software open so I was able to figure out their
temps and everything but they said it's okay so I'll talk about it here in OC
mode they're running at 12:47 on the core clock in gaming mode they're
running at 1228 and in silent mode they're also running at 1228 the reason
why the difference between gaming and silent mode is nothing is because in
silent mode your fans are going to run a little bit slower and your temperature
will be a little bit higher but the performance should be more or less the same also their memory is running at an
unsurprising 7,010 MHz and with GPU tweak 2 you have a few options I know I
already said something about OC mode and gaming mode and silent mode but if you
go out of the kind of simple area of GPU tweak 2 which you can still see what
everything's currently running at the charts on the Le hand side but if you go
into the like I think it's called professional tab you can control things
like you would and say After Burner or GPU tweak 1 or Precision or whatever the
heck software you decide to use to overclock your graphics card now you
might also notice that the cooler is pretty big it's a little bit longer than
the actual standard PCB and it's a fair amount taller but it isn't any thicker
so this is a dual slot card not a triple not a 2 and 1/2 none of that kind of
stuff so you'll be able to fit fine with two slots but please do note it is
taller and it is longer when you're looking for case compatibility now
that's all I can really say outside of a full proper review of the card but one
more thing I want to point out is their Auto extreme technology this is an
industry first 100% automated production process and material design and they've
got a cool little demo here where you can see the difference between what was probably soldered by a human and what
was Ed by a machine pretty cool combination next up is the Claymore RGB
and I know I know I know another freaking keyboard video from Luke but it
it's fairly interesting trust me okay so it's an RGB keyboard but this is the
first as far as I know RGB keyboard that is using cherries RGB switches that
Corsair helped develop that isn't a Corsair keyboard fairly interesting I
think they have finally loosened their iron grip on those switches now also
it's it has it looks like a 10 keyless here but there is another 10 key module
they just don't have it available that 10 key module will have a volume slider
on it and will be able to be plugged in independently so it doesn't actually
need to be plugged directly into the keyboard if you wanted to use it on a
laptop or whatever you could do that if you put that 10 key add-on on the right
side of the keyboard it's a normal num pad if you put that 10K out on on the
left side of the keyboard however it's a crazy macro pad for a huge amount of
macros that you can use a really interesting way of having that 10ky
add-on set up not interesting enough for you but wait there's more if you have an
Rog motherboard you can sync your motherboard and keyboard together and
you can control your CPU fan speed based on a function key on the keyboard or you
can even have the RGB of your keyboard
uh reflecting the temperature of your CPU which is pretty freaking cool also
you can sync a whole bunch of things together so you can sync your keyboard
and your mouse together to make all the breathing effects sync together which is
cool I asked if this can also work with the breathing effect of the LED on your
motherboard considering you can control other stuff along with your motherboard
they weren't entirely sure so I'll have to stay tuned for that let me know what you guys think about the graphics card
or the keyboard in the description down below or on Twitter at lukor LFR also
thanks to MSI for sending us here this year we totally wouldn't be here without
