WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.640
you know i know it's gonna be a good day because

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:09.120
we just got a giant pelican case full of

00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:15.440
unreleased hardware and every time that happens it's a freaking good day inside

00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:21.439
here is the kamino auto a computer that i've never seen

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:25.760
from a manufacturer that i have never heard of and

00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:31.519
see these are always good signs too when there's a gigantic adapter on just the

00:00:29.439 --> 00:00:37.280
power plug i mean it's gonna be exotic my friends

00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:41.120
let's go ahead and pull this thing out oh wow

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

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:52.480
ti not to mention of course liquid cooling this is going to be fun

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

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

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:06.719
video description

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

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

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:23.520
in spots wow yeah i can see that have you had

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:27.520
this out i mean it's like it's nicely cut and

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:33.520
everything but i will say that that is a little raw

00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:39.280
looking uh honestly i love the design though the concave top looks super kind

00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:43.920
of futuristic looking the convex front with the reservoir

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

00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:55.040
that better be uv green fluid power button right here usb type-c they

00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:59.200
built that into their auto yeah it is also worth noting that all of

00:01:56.960 --> 00:02:03.520
the colors can be changed like completely custom

00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:06.719
so if you want it like black here or red here or whatever

00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:09.759
pretty simple so they intend to sell this thing do that yeah all right how

00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:14.239
does it come apart oh wow that's pretty straightforward

00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:18.879
magnetic side wow so they just actually glued magnets to the side panel

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:22.239
okay it's a little engineering sampling a little bit of history on these guys

00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:26.720
they have a lot of experience when it comes to server cooling and building

00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:30.879
servers and we're actually seeing some very server builder design sensibilities

00:02:29.760 --> 00:02:34.720
here well as long as all the cables are you know

00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:39.200
all together and they're out of the way the airflow then that should be good

00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:42.239
enough and so they've actually got

00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:44.400
things like cable combs installed

00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:47.680
but but the function of them is sort of they missed the point somewhere along

00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.480
the line um no wait

00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:55.120
hold on a second what is this connected to i'm so curious

00:02:52.640 --> 00:03:02.000
because it looks like a 16x slot it looks like a 16x to dual 8x ribbon

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:06.560
adapter but also like these fittings i have never seen anything like that

00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:10.480
before in like consumer hardware oh

00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:13.200
wow so these are like a dual 90 degree

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:15.519
yeah this is this is like not soldered what's the uh

00:03:14.480 --> 00:03:21.440
braised yeah braised these fittings are braised so they've

00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:26.879
done like a braised probably brass fitting and then they've plated it

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

00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:36.400
um like building

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:40.080
style of hose clamp so they actually take like a big ring

00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:43.599
and then put like a a crimp

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

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:51.360
hose clamp on the barb so that the tubing will come off like that thing

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

00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:57.840
getting distracted here we're getting distracted i don't remember the last

00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:01.920
time i saw a simple desktop computer made out of what is essentially

00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:05.840
commodity hardware like ASUS motherboard you know ASUS graphics card

00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:10.319
that was this different like look at this airflow

00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:15.200
shroud that they've built here why did they do that well separate cooling zone

00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:18.639
for the power supply so they've actually cut a little

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

00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:28.240
and then not compromise the individual cooling zones that's freaking awesome

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

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:35.600
pc like this that hasn't had two zones where it's like

00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:39.280
CPU and like motherboard on one side and GPU

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

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

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

00:04:48.479 --> 00:04:54.160
reservoir from scratch you have all these cool features

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

00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:04.160
some sort so this piece right here made out of

00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:07.360
like delrin or something like that goes in

00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:11.600
through the graphics card so it goes out that way up from the graphics card out

00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.960
here then it also goes

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

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

00:05:23.039 --> 00:05:30.400
amazing job of is the power cable so it uses a system we've seen many

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:34.080
times on small form factor builds where the power supply is actually internal

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

00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:41.919
little cover for it here but then they just have it come out like a

00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:46.400
like a tail so that's why it has to use this adapter

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

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

00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:55.919
honors uh sure hit it

00:05:56.400 --> 00:06:02.880
and of course it is RGB af oh that is a

00:06:00.400 --> 00:06:06.720
really nice effect on the perforations i like that you know maybe there's

00:06:05.039 --> 00:06:10.160
something to be said for letting server manufacturers play with our gaming

00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:15.280
machines this res is so

00:06:12.400 --> 00:06:19.440
cool like how did they make this i actually have no clue

00:06:17.039 --> 00:06:22.560
like there's no machining marks i know right

00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:27.039
honestly the back's almost as impressive to me as the front and oh yeah look

00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:30.560
there's definitely cnc marks there oh yeah yep so that's definitely how

00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:34.960
they're doing it they just have a way better cnc than we do

00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:39.280
so that's all there is to it are we supposed to take it apart

00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:43.840
i have no clue they didn't really tell us anything about not taking it apart

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

00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:56.479
the cores has been 50 degrees so far they're sitting more around like 33 to

00:06:52.960 --> 00:06:58.160
45 though cool 30 degrees max temps so

00:06:56.479 --> 00:07:02.880
far we have oh yeah we haven't done much but still that's very promising

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

00:07:05.280 --> 00:07:09.680
know what they are yeah it's 18 degrees in here so that

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

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

00:07:17.039 --> 00:07:23.520
book about what gamers like once you know yeah this is just

00:07:21.520 --> 00:07:26.800
cool the big thing i want to know here is not necessarily what temps we're

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

00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:34.880
think we could easily tune them to come down quite a bit quieter at idle

00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:38.880
yeah and if the temperatures that we're getting are still like 50 degrees we can

00:07:37.039 --> 00:07:42.960
probably get this thing to all core five gigahertz no problem

00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:45.440
we're still only at about 70 degrees which is very reasonable

00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:51.599
but it's a 4.7 though yep so that's what we

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:53.680
would expect for a well-cooled 9900k and

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

00:07:55.599 --> 00:08:00.080
cooled also so we should be able to get

00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:04.800
it really fast why does this thing feel so snappy like

00:08:02.479 --> 00:08:09.840
even just installing you know microsoft vc redistributable whatever when we

00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:14.319
launched the game it's just 3 200 megahertz RAM not nothing crazy

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

00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:22.720
that's got great specs but like you go to launch Windows explorer and it takes

00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:25.759
forever to you know load in all the drive information or

00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:29.039
whatever like it just i know it's a fresh install i've seen a

00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:31.840
lot of fresh installs in my day all right anyway i've seen enough of this

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

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:38.640
to 70 degrees there we have lots of room

00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:45.360
well should we just go right for the load five gigahertz oc profile

00:08:41.680 --> 00:08:47.279
i'm i'm not a huge fan of it but sure

00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:51.120
screw it wait does all it do is just do single cores five zero

00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:54.640
and set everything out oh she's hot

00:08:52.880 --> 00:09:00.560
really hot not too hot 91. hey for the form factor are you not

00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:04.320
still impressed oh yeah totally i kind of forgot about that actually

00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:07.600
it's literally half the volume of the kind of machine that you would normally

00:09:05.839 --> 00:09:11.839
say has enough cooling to just be like yeah sure five gigahertz all on full

00:09:09.920 --> 00:09:15.279
auto like these are not optimized voltages i'm sure we could turn it down

00:09:13.680 --> 00:09:19.040
and have it run cooler our render finished without incident it took two

00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:23.760
minutes and 39 seconds that's about what we'd expect for a five gigahertz all

00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:28.240
core overclock yeah max temp was 96 degrees which is

00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:31.920
you know that's hot but also it did it and this is probably a horrible

00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:37.600
overclock so let's hit it again this time CPU

00:09:34.959 --> 00:09:42.320
and GPU what we're finding out here is whether the GPU heating up the water

00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:46.320
pushes our CPU over the thermal throttling threshold CPU seems to be

00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:50.800
doing the same basic thing as last time one core did hit 98 but that still

00:09:48.880 --> 00:09:57.120
doesn't exceed Intel's safe spec and you wouldn't be doing this

00:09:53.760 --> 00:09:58.800
very often still 43 44 i think that's as

00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:04.000
high as it's gotten yeah it's still only about 65 70 usage

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

00:10:05.839 --> 00:10:12.399
could optimize right out of the gate is you can see how there's the perforations

00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:15.839
on the top but there's also a fine mesh under it

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

00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:24.240
perspective i think just by making that small tweak even switching it from like

00:10:22.560 --> 00:10:28.880
a metal grille like they've got in there to something like a uh

00:10:26.800 --> 00:10:32.240
like a like a fan filter type material like a finer mesh

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

00:10:34.560 --> 00:10:41.440
particularly quiet when you're really hitting it but from a cooling standpoint

00:10:38.959 --> 00:10:46.399
i would say this is the most impressive small form factor machine that i've seen

00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:48.959
yet these are 140 ml fans too no wonder

00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:53.680
it's handling it like a champ even with that restrictive grille on it i just

00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:57.360
assumed it was 120 mil so we're here 1440p

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

00:11:00.079 --> 00:11:06.079
be like 150 FPS easy especially when combined with like this

00:11:04.160 --> 00:11:12.000
is the one millisecond monitor it's just oh that looks really really good

00:11:09.680 --> 00:11:16.880
and of note is that this is still running at kind of idle noise levels

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

00:11:18.160 --> 00:11:22.240
heavy CPU load like that blender render do you really want to take this thing

00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:26.399
apart yeah it feels like

00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:32.880
it feels like disassembling the mona lisa a little bit that's

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

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

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

00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:51.680
it's so nice we can put it back together you never will

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

00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:59.760
really curious about i actually figured out for myself the reason i was confused

00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:03.680
by the positioning of the GPU was that actually they removed the bracket at the

00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:08.160
back so they just screwed the GPU directly into the back panel so that's

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

00:12:10.560 --> 00:12:15.360
slot it's connected here you've got two of these 8x

00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:19.200
connectors because they couldn't fit one of those big chunky ribbons in here and

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

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

00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:31.680
gaming rig because it is freaking awesome yeah so i guess i do have the

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

00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:39.839
to a Corsair one that's that's really the question because compared to diying

00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:42.560
something obviously for this level of integration you're going to be paying a

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

00:12:47.839 --> 00:12:53.680
is 3 600

00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:58.320
us yeah yeah they also have a super version for twenty one hundred dollars

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

00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:08.639
a ryzen five based machine yeah um and they have a diy version

00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:12.800
that's 450 bucks that's just chassis

00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:14.639
reservoir riser radiator RGB strips

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

00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:22.320
yeah good luck it can it could be done we could do it

00:13:20.800 --> 00:13:25.839
it's actually harder now that we would have to disassemble theirs because i

00:13:24.079 --> 00:13:29.519
wouldn't assemble mine with crimps on the

00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:34.160
on the tubing they also have a version for 1050

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:38.000
that has like everything that you need including like water blocks and crap you

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

00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:46.480
CPU GPU motherboard RAM storage and coolant that's not actually that far out

00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:50.720
there compared to the uh spectre that we looked at recently yeah very similar i

00:13:48.880 --> 00:13:53.760
would say i like it i do too i declare it to be

00:13:52.959 --> 00:13:59.120
good i honestly i came into this thinking like

00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:04.639

00:14:01.839 --> 00:14:09.680
