1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,640
you know i know it's gonna be a good day because

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:09,120
we just got a giant pelican case full of

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:15,440
unreleased hardware and every time that happens it's a freaking good day inside

4
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:21,439
here is the kamino auto a computer that i've never seen

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:25,760
from a manufacturer that i have never heard of and

6
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:31,519
see these are always good signs too when there's a gigantic adapter on just the

7
00:00:29,439 --> 00:00:37,280
power plug i mean it's gonna be exotic my friends

8
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:41,120
let's go ahead and pull this thing out oh wow

9
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:47,360
apparently in this tiny thing there's an eight core core i9 9900k and an rtx 2080

10
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:52,480
ti not to mention of course liquid cooling this is going to be fun

11
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:57,360
with glasswire you can see what's going in and out of your pc to monitor and

12
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:01,750
block badly behaving apps use offer code Linus to get 25 off at the link in the

13
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:06,719
video description

14
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,520
all right well they're serious about it getting here in one piece i guess yeah i

15
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,920
think it's one of the only ones in the world it's very engineering sampling oh

16
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:23,520
in spots wow yeah i can see that have you had

17
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,520
this out i mean it's like it's nicely cut and

18
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:33,520
everything but i will say that that is a little raw

19
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:39,280
looking uh honestly i love the design though the concave top looks super kind

20
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:43,920
of futuristic looking the convex front with the reservoir

21
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:47,520
built into it i am really excited to see what this looks like once we turn it on

22
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:55,040
that better be uv green fluid power button right here usb type-c they

23
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:59,200
built that into their auto yeah it is also worth noting that all of

24
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:03,520
the colors can be changed like completely custom

25
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:06,719
so if you want it like black here or red here or whatever

26
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,759
pretty simple so they intend to sell this thing do that yeah all right how

27
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:14,239
does it come apart oh wow that's pretty straightforward

28
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:18,879
magnetic side wow so they just actually glued magnets to the side panel

29
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:22,239
okay it's a little engineering sampling a little bit of history on these guys

30
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,720
they have a lot of experience when it comes to server cooling and building

31
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:30,879
servers and we're actually seeing some very server builder design sensibilities

32
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,720
here well as long as all the cables are you know

33
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:39,200
all together and they're out of the way the airflow then that should be good

34
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:42,239
enough and so they've actually got

35
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:44,400
things like cable combs installed

36
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:47,680
but but the function of them is sort of they missed the point somewhere along

37
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,480
the line um no wait

38
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:55,120
hold on a second what is this connected to i'm so curious

39
00:02:52,640 --> 00:03:02,000
because it looks like a 16x slot it looks like a 16x to dual 8x ribbon

40
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:06,560
adapter but also like these fittings i have never seen anything like that

41
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:10,480
before in like consumer hardware oh

42
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:13,200
wow so these are like a dual 90 degree

43
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,519
yeah this is this is like not soldered what's the uh

44
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:21,440
braised yeah braised these fittings are braised so they've

45
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:26,879
done like a braised probably brass fitting and then they've plated it

46
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:31,519
that's incredible so and check this out this type of hose clamp is like a very

47
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:36,400
um like building

48
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:40,080
style of hose clamp so they actually take like a big ring

49
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:43,599
and then put like a a crimp

50
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:47,360
sort of thing on it and like crimp it so they bend the metal in order to put the

51
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:51,360
hose clamp on the barb so that the tubing will come off like that thing

52
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:54,000
ain't it's never coming off okay so hold on hold on hold on we're getting we're

53
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,840
getting distracted here we're getting distracted i don't remember the last

54
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:01,920
time i saw a simple desktop computer made out of what is essentially

55
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:05,840
commodity hardware like ASUS motherboard you know ASUS graphics card

56
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:10,319
that was this different like look at this airflow

57
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:15,200
shroud that they've built here why did they do that well separate cooling zone

58
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:18,639
for the power supply so they've actually cut a little

59
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:22,960
slice in it so that they can run this tube up to the reservoir in the front

60
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:28,240
and then not compromise the individual cooling zones that's freaking awesome

61
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:33,280
again very servery stuff yeah i don't think i've ever seen a small form factor

62
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,600
pc like this that hasn't had two zones where it's like

63
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,280
CPU and like motherboard on one side and GPU

64
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,639
on the other they've all done that since i think was it Dan that did it first i

65
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:45,919
think it was the Dan case that did it first oh that's nice they've got a

66
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:50,320
temperature sensor going into the reservoir up here i guess that's what happens when you build your own

67
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:54,160
reservoir from scratch you have all these cool features

68
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:59,360
okay i really do not understand what i'm looking at here ah this is a splitter of

69
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:04,160
some sort so this piece right here made out of

70
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:07,360
like delrin or something like that goes in

71
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:11,600
through the graphics card so it goes out that way up from the graphics card out

72
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,960
here then it also goes

73
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:21,360
down to the CPU and then back to the res and then this goes over to the radiator

74
00:05:19,039 --> 00:05:25,919
and over to the res got it one thing i will say they didn't do an

75
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:30,400
amazing job of is the power cable so it uses a system we've seen many

76
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:34,080
times on small form factor builds where the power supply is actually internal

77
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:38,320
and then it runs an extension out the back of the case they've gone under this

78
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:41,919
little cover for it here but then they just have it come out like a

79
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:46,400
like a tail so that's why it has to use this adapter

80
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:50,479
because now that it's assembled there is no way for us to change the power cable

81
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:55,919
usually you get like a receptacle on the back of the machine you want to do the

82
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,919
honors uh sure hit it

83
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:02,880
and of course it is RGB af oh that is a

84
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:06,720
really nice effect on the perforations i like that you know maybe there's

85
00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:10,160
something to be said for letting server manufacturers play with our gaming

86
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:15,280
machines this res is so

87
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:19,440
cool like how did they make this i actually have no clue

88
00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:22,560
like there's no machining marks i know right

89
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:27,039
honestly the back's almost as impressive to me as the front and oh yeah look

90
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:30,560
there's definitely cnc marks there oh yeah yep so that's definitely how

91
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:34,960
they're doing it they just have a way better cnc than we do

92
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:39,280
so that's all there is to it are we supposed to take it apart

93
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:43,840
i have no clue they didn't really tell us anything about not taking it apart

94
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:49,120
okay cool because i do kind of want to see what makes it tick the max on all of

95
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:56,479
the cores has been 50 degrees so far they're sitting more around like 33 to

96
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:58,160
45 though cool 30 degrees max temps so

97
00:06:56,479 --> 00:07:02,880
far we have oh yeah we haven't done much but still that's very promising

98
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:06,479
what is the temperature in here anyway if we're going to say that the numbers are real good we might as well actually

99
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:09,680
know what they are yeah it's 18 degrees in here so that

100
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:14,639
helps a bit you know normally you get like you're you're super micros of the world and

101
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:18,960
they try and do something gamery and it's just like yeah it's like you read a

102
00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:23,520
book about what gamers like once you know yeah this is just

103
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,800
cool the big thing i want to know here is not necessarily what temps we're

104
00:07:25,039 --> 00:07:31,199
going to see but whether those fans get any louder because if they don't then i

105
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:34,880
think we could easily tune them to come down quite a bit quieter at idle

106
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,880
yeah and if the temperatures that we're getting are still like 50 degrees we can

107
00:07:37,039 --> 00:07:42,960
probably get this thing to all core five gigahertz no problem

108
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,440
we're still only at about 70 degrees which is very reasonable

109
00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:51,599
but it's a 4.7 though yep so that's what we

110
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,680
would expect for a well-cooled 9900k and

111
00:07:51,599 --> 00:07:58,879
as far as i understand i'm pretty sure that all of the vrms and stuff are

112
00:07:55,599 --> 00:08:00,080
cooled also so we should be able to get

113
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:04,800
it really fast why does this thing feel so snappy like

114
00:08:02,479 --> 00:08:09,840
even just installing you know microsoft vc redistributable whatever when we

115
00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:14,319
launched the game it's just 3 200 megahertz RAM not nothing crazy

116
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:19,440
yeah like you guys know what i'm talking about right like when you have a machine

117
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:22,720
that's got great specs but like you go to launch Windows explorer and it takes

118
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:25,759
forever to you know load in all the drive information or

119
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:29,039
whatever like it just i know it's a fresh install i've seen a

120
00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:31,840
lot of fresh installs in my day all right anyway i've seen enough of this

121
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:37,039
let's go ahead and see if we can overclock this thing yeah it didn't get

122
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,640
to 70 degrees there we have lots of room

123
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:45,360
well should we just go right for the load five gigahertz oc profile

124
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:47,279
i'm i'm not a huge fan of it but sure

125
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:51,120
screw it wait does all it do is just do single cores five zero

126
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,640
and set everything out oh she's hot

127
00:08:52,880 --> 00:09:00,560
really hot not too hot 91. hey for the form factor are you not

128
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:04,320
still impressed oh yeah totally i kind of forgot about that actually

129
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,600
it's literally half the volume of the kind of machine that you would normally

130
00:09:05,839 --> 00:09:11,839
say has enough cooling to just be like yeah sure five gigahertz all on full

131
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:15,279
auto like these are not optimized voltages i'm sure we could turn it down

132
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:19,040
and have it run cooler our render finished without incident it took two

133
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:23,760
minutes and 39 seconds that's about what we'd expect for a five gigahertz all

134
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:28,240
core overclock yeah max temp was 96 degrees which is

135
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:31,920
you know that's hot but also it did it and this is probably a horrible

136
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:37,600
overclock so let's hit it again this time CPU

137
00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:42,320
and GPU what we're finding out here is whether the GPU heating up the water

138
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:46,320
pushes our CPU over the thermal throttling threshold CPU seems to be

139
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:50,800
doing the same basic thing as last time one core did hit 98 but that still

140
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:57,120
doesn't exceed Intel's safe spec and you wouldn't be doing this

141
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,800
very often still 43 44 i think that's as

142
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:04,000
high as it's gotten yeah it's still only about 65 70 usage

143
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:07,920
and we've got a core that hit 99 now loudness wise one thing i think they

144
00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:12,399
could optimize right out of the gate is you can see how there's the perforations

145
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:15,839
on the top but there's also a fine mesh under it

146
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:20,079
oh yeah i think that's a big mistake for them from an airflow and an acoustics

147
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:24,240
perspective i think just by making that small tweak even switching it from like

148
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:28,880
a metal grille like they've got in there to something like a uh

149
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:32,240
like a like a fan filter type material like a finer mesh

150
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:36,480
i think could make a big difference there and there's no doubt that it's not

151
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:41,440
particularly quiet when you're really hitting it but from a cooling standpoint

152
00:10:38,959 --> 00:10:46,399
i would say this is the most impressive small form factor machine that i've seen

153
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:48,959
yet these are 140 ml fans too no wonder

154
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:53,680
it's handling it like a champ even with that restrictive grille on it i just

155
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:57,360
assumed it was 120 mil so we're here 1440p

156
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:02,720
high settings not the highest like we don't have rtx on but it is this has to

157
00:11:00,079 --> 00:11:06,079
be like 150 FPS easy especially when combined with like this

158
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:12,000
is the one millisecond monitor it's just oh that looks really really good

159
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:16,880
and of note is that this is still running at kind of idle noise levels

160
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:20,160
yeah so it didn't crank up the way that it did when we hit it with a really

161
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,240
heavy CPU load like that blender render do you really want to take this thing

162
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:26,399
apart yeah it feels like

163
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:32,880
it feels like disassembling the mona lisa a little bit that's

164
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:36,720
that's a bit of an exaggeration i think i really want to look at the fins

165
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:42,399
you're going to take all the way down to the blocks all the way down to the blocks

166
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:48,079
do we have to i really like it i want to use this as the vr gaming rig

167
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:51,680
it's so nice we can put it back together you never will

168
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:55,839
we're not taking it apart i like this thing too much and the one thing i was

169
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:59,760
really curious about i actually figured out for myself the reason i was confused

170
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,680
by the positioning of the GPU was that actually they removed the bracket at the

171
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:08,160
back so they just screwed the GPU directly into the back panel so that's

172
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:12,240
why it looked like the thing was too close to this it's just a normal PCIe

173
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:15,360
slot it's connected here you've got two of these 8x

174
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:19,200
connectors because they couldn't fit one of those big chunky ribbons in here and

175
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:22,560
that's all there is to it that's all we need to know this thing is freaking

176
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:27,360
awesome and i don't want to take it apart because i want to use it as a vr

177
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:31,680
gaming rig because it is freaking awesome yeah so i guess i do have the

178
00:12:29,279 --> 00:12:34,959
prices here oh okay what is one of these gonna run you like how does it compare

179
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:39,839
to a Corsair one that's that's really the question because compared to diying

180
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:42,560
something obviously for this level of integration you're going to be paying a

181
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:49,440
premium so this one right here that we have in our hands with the i9 and the 2080 ti

182
00:12:47,839 --> 00:12:53,680
is 3 600

183
00:12:51,279 --> 00:12:58,320
us yeah yeah they also have a super version for twenty one hundred dollars

184
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:03,279
that has a ryzen five thirty six hundred and a twenty seventy that's too much for

185
00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:08,639
a ryzen five based machine yeah um and they have a diy version

186
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:12,800
that's 450 bucks that's just chassis

187
00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:14,639
reservoir riser radiator RGB strips

188
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:19,120
okay so if you want to just completely build it on your own you can good luck

189
00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:22,320
yeah good luck it can it could be done we could do it

190
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,839
it's actually harder now that we would have to disassemble theirs because i

191
00:13:24,079 --> 00:13:29,519
wouldn't assemble mine with crimps on the

192
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:34,160
on the tubing they also have a version for 1050

193
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,000
that has like everything that you need including like water blocks and crap you

194
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:42,399
just don't get like you know the actual components okay so you only have to buy

195
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:46,480
CPU GPU motherboard RAM storage and coolant that's not actually that far out

196
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:50,720
there compared to the uh spectre that we looked at recently yeah very similar i

197
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,760
would say i like it i do too i declare it to be

198
00:13:52,959 --> 00:13:59,120
good i honestly i came into this thinking like

199
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:04,639
just another small form factor i really like it too you know what else i really like

200
00:14:01,839 --> 00:14:09,680
