oh this is this is going to be fun this is sponsored by ibuypower
and when i heard that they have a brand new
watercooled gaming system i assume that is going to be astronomically expensive
like they're kind of known for you know shipping you a gaming pc that's about
the same price sometimes even a tiny bit less than what
you would get for just buying all the components and building it yourself
so i kind of assumed when i heard that they had a water cooling thing that they
were going to just like this was their margin pc but turns out
not really it starts at sixteen hundred bucks and goes up to twenty two hundred
and that's for like pretty much the fastest gaming computer you can buy so
it's pretty sweet let's get into it
oh it's a box in a box unboxing number two coming right up
oh cool okay so normally when you're shipping someone like
a hardline water cooled pc it's an
absolute nightmare for kind of everyone involved because
like if it moves a little bit in shipping then maybe one of the tubes
will kind of come out of it and then it'll start leaking and then you turn your
computer on and like she's dead no no good so we
have this presumably acrylic tube maybe
i'm not sure and these fittings here that are kind of like
it's like what you find in your house or just general industrial
quick disconnect sort of stuff that's definitely not coming out that's like
most of my weight i i don't want to do more because i'm afraid that this handle is going to pop
off so let's see what else we have in here got a power cord can't take those for
granted several SATA connectors for if you want to upgrade your storage down
the line got your standard motherboard standoffs
hard drive screws that sort of stuff great for if you need
to upgrade in the future driver cd no one's going to use that oh
this is like my favorite but also the most stressful thing to do
oh yes i buy power zeus e2
as for the keyboard though it's fine it's a membrane keyboard it
does the job on to the main show here though actually let's turn it around and
see it
there we go so this is the i buy power
element cl and let's
take a look we clearly need to take some
foam out before we start it up
the average you know hardline water cooled pc that
they said takes about four or five hours
to build and they wanted to get that time down to
one hour have the exact same tubes for every single
different layout how they've been able to do that is by actually having
adjustments in here for height up at the distribution block over
here and also like the exact socket placement
on the motherboard right here you're able to move the whole
CPU block now sort of in this direction about
half maybe three quarters of an inch up here you have a little bit of adjustment
to go up and down so they're able to use the exact same tubes for
all of their different layouts it does look like though that they'd be using
the same tubes and the same placement for all of their gpus so presumably
they're able to overcome that with just using the same block placement right here
peel this off
so normally what you'd see is like c and c acrylic
so probably one piece that's cut and another one that's flat and you
smash them together with an o-ring all of that's really expensive
so what they've done here instead they have cast
nylon so they do plan
if there's interest they will do a full acrylic version for
probably about a hundred dollar premium but
this seems like a pretty good compromise to me biggest compromise
of all though this is an aluminum water
cooling loop so no radiator
CPU block GPU block all made out of aluminum
this allows for them to greatly reduce the cost of the whole thing it's not
a perfect solution but again when i said like the hundred dollar premium edition
that would also have copper blocks in it so that would be
kind of your maximum performance great one let's open the back well if
you ever want to add something that has molex or SATA they certainly have you
covered there this though is not a modular power
supply i believe that this one's 700 watts so
more than enough power for your whole system but you are going to be a bit
constrained by power if you want to upgrade in the
future so if you look in here there's these
little tabs and if you press those in
this will presumably start coming off so there's the tempered glass panel and
then is there an acrylic panel below it wait is that glass
i have a bad idea don't tell them but
okay yeah confirmed if that was acrylic it would now have a mark on it
but it's tempered glass so they
they've made i'm guessing some sort of a gasket that goes all the way around
on a tempered glass panel for the reservoir that's actually really cool
and now we're able to see the fill and drain ports so fill ports just
right up here if you want to top her up then there's just a little drain port
here on the front so right here final water cooling thing
we have a d5 pump and you're going to want to pump a lot of water in here because this thing's going
to output some heat so we've got an Intel i9 10 900 k NVIDIA rtx
2080 super and two
g skills triton c i think it's 32 gigabytes and finally a one terabyte
SSD losing all of my screws
okay andy let's just we didn't lose that
screw no one knows warning please read instructions
on removing the foam insert before turning on this computer i didn't read
the instructions but we did take out the phone so i think we're fine it turns out they actually chose a
motherboard that doesn't have on-board wi-fi as far as i can tell but
they included a little wi-fi adapter for you which is nice is that magnetic
oh that's fun you can just magnet where well the whole front isn't magnetic
oh ha ha
screw saga finally comes to an end
i hope it's super RGB i really like
super RGB things because like you can always turn
the RGB off but if you don't have RGB you can't turn
it on
oh yeah it's RGB there's just a tiny bit
of RGB where the water flows in so you're able to see all the bubbles it kind of hits those
not my best peel ever but that one was pretty good oh actually there's more
nice oh double nice
uh the risky peel down here
so here in do maternal on 4k
ultra nightmare settings and
we're getting what 120
FPS somewhere around there overall i would say this looks
fantastic again it's one of those things
where it's like wow whoever would have thought that a 2200 gaming computer
would work well but at the same time that's a lot cheaper than most the stuff that we
have around here we do need to check to see just how well the thermals are doing
so wow not bad the CPU
maximum temp so far is 52 degrees
uh GPU let's go down here
maximum pep on the GPU is also 55 degrees
now it is going to get hotter like we've only been gaming for a couple minutes
if you leave it for half an hour it's going to get hotter
but at the same time even if it like gets 20 degrees hotter you're still in
really good shape you can purchase the elements cl plus as a pre-built or you can completely custom
configure it at ibuypower.com check them out and get all the information at the link below in the
video description i hope you guys have an awesome day thank you to eyebuy power for sponsoring
this and yeah get subscribed to this Linus
tech tips and how long i'm gonna keep on playing some
new em here oh geez oh balls this is bad
it's fine it's fine
