i don't know what's in the box what's in the box i actually don't know what's in the box there's a sponsored uh sponsored unboxing from verla which i have never heard of before now this is my first time ever hearing of them and inside here is what they call the centaur pc i don't know what kind of pc it is but i know it's got some bubble wrap it's got some spare parts some evga stuff so there's a graphics card in there ooh goodies so they make servers and workstations i thought this was going to be yet another gaming computer all right what is this thing got a power cable i don't know if i have enough clearance for this box to come up good luck everybody ah oh hey got it please remove packing material from inside the computer before use that's a good strategy oh oh i just about punched myself in the face that was so close the plastic like whipped me right under the eye i was wrong by the way this is a gaming pc so they were founded in 2016 doing like workstations for vfx and like you know hollywood and that shiz hence the you know la based location and then last year they branched into gaming systems so we got a tempered glass side panel on this puppy oh and that would be quite the gaming system um that we've got ourselves in here they managed to get an rtx 3080 wow okay all right maybe these guys are legit then you know i'm actually pretty impressed right off the bat they haven't made any critical mistakes that jump out to me like you might see someone who's not that experienced with gaming machines you know misconfigure the airflow for the system so in this case we've got three 120 millimeters in the front two in the top one in the back so they're clearly going for kind of like a a balance between intake and exhaust which has been shown time and time again is well the correct way to go about it in terms of cable management man it's hard to find flaw with any of this it's pretty freaking clean to the point where we're gonna have to take the side back panel off and see if we can find any problems that's not bad everything is neatly tucked away but also not to the point where i look at it and i go yeah obviously they knew who they were sending it to so they went and you know put special fancy cable ties and spritz some you know new car smell in it or anything like that just smells like a normal computer but everything's out of the way of the fans and we basically can't see the cables through the windowed side panel see that can you see me though hi david hi how's it going in terms of spec they've gone with a 750 watt b5 series power supply from evga i actually don't know what kind of CPU is in there but we've got 32 gigs of RAM from g skill let's see 3200 cl 16 so i would say reasonable high end so without overspending on anything this is a very potent basically top of the line gaming machine the one question i have is with respect to thermals so they've chosen a case that does have three 120 millimeter fans in the front but also has a tempered glass front panel now this is a lot better than one we checked out recently over on Linus tech tips that had almost no space along the side for intake and had these front fans getting suffocated but i'll be interested to see what kind of thermals we get when we fire this puppy up interestingly they've configured the fans to run at very different rpms the front ones are they're ripping and these top ones they're barely spinning we are on the desktop in terms of bloat there's pretty much nothing GeForce experience which i would install anyway RGB fusion which is uh gigabytes RGB controller software which i'm going to fire up and see if i can figure out how to light this puppy up and then microsoft edge and yes i did count microsoft edge that's probably not fair probably not fair i'm kidding it's chromium now i'm kidding i'm just i'm just i'm just teasing microsoft and ah there's your problem oh oh it's not too bad there we go oh wow had a connector come loose in shipping happens to the best of us wow that is i am actually kind of super into that cooler that that looks not bad at all and uh hold on a second you're definitely right that's definitely worse there you go so that is how it is intended to be opera that looks that looks awesome they went and they put their logo on there and everything how's that that's pretty good all right looking good oh the one thing we don't have synced is our poor evga graphics card well yeah rip indeed i'll live with it it is time to close up the panel and see how much chica looks let's see if what they learned about workstations and servers applies to gaming thermals i mean they are very similar principles but as everyone knows a principal is not necessarily the same as a teacher man rtx 3080 is one impressive piece isn't it yeah got that 100 percent usage using up 70 of the GPU in code and i don't even see any complaints about dropped frames i've got a filter on the top there oh look at that they put little stickers on so it won't come off during shipping need to put one of those on the RGB cable there i'm just teasing guys i know stuff like that happens it really does create a pain in the butt for customer support when someone calls in about something as trivial as that though some customers might not even realize that half of their RGB isn't working so this is not a bad idea hot glue hot glue is there's a pro tip for you and a half you can get hot glues that kind of like peel off really easy but like hold on really nice we've got a 970 evo plus 500 gig for our boot drive a one terabyte hard drive spinning storage that's your mass storage right there two and a half gig lan and for CPU they've gone with a core i7 10 700 that is interesting it's a good balance again between like price to performance ratio and i wouldn't expect it to be a huge bottleneck for an rtx 3080 but a lot of the time with the more traditional you know gaming system companies you would see them put like a core i9 top of the line in there even if they don't expect the customer to overclock which let's face it if you're the kind of person that's buying a pre-built i would say the odds of you tinkering in the BIOS and overclocking probably slimmer the one thing then that i would critique about this configuration is that if i knew i was going to go with a non-k CPU i might not go with a z490 motherboard except that well they loaded up with pc 3200 megahertz memory which of course these days you need a z-series chipset for which is like it shouldn't be the case but i guess it is so there's the rationale there i guess i talked myself into the motherboard kind of looks like it's not gonna i think we're settling in at a nice comfortable 75 degrees celsius might get up as high as 76.77 but given that we're still turboing up to 1530 megahertz that's looking pretty good another good sign is that this particular 750 watt power supply must have been validated by them because we've run into issues where even a power supply that's rated for the amount of power that an rtx 3080 technically calls for can still run into issues where the overcurrent protection will kick in because of a sudden spike in draw from the rtx 3080 or for that matter rtx 3090 so so far we're not seeing any of those symptoms hey they even have in their talking points i'm supposed to mention that this is what all the pcs look like not just mine so there you go they actually did go out of their way not to specially build one for me this is great especially in the current market buying a pre-built is a great choice please demonstrate this somehow i can demonstrate that real easy you want to know how how the hell else are you going to get an rtx 3080 NVIDIA has a long and proud history of getting the boutique builders and the system integrators way way more stock relative to the size of their business than the part sellers get and i remember this because at ncix even though we had a system building division and i would go to NVIDIA and i'd say hey we should probably get system builder allocation they wouldn't send it to us because i think they assumed we were just going to send them out as individual cards i don't get it though because obviously it was in our best interest to sell a whole system around it but that was always a point of contention so i know for a fact that there's extra allocation for system builders so that's a real easy one right there as long as it's reasonably priced i got nothing against a pre-built system 100 for lots of people it doesn't make sense like it's easy for me to say yeah i could build this system in i wouldn't even say half an hour i'd say cable managing to this level probably more like an hour but if you have no idea how to do it and you have to like look up what parts to get and look up how to put it together and then and then put it together and then double check that everything's right i mean we're talking for just like an average person it could be a five six hour process so if you pay yourself like 20 bucks an hour yeah it's pretty easy to say yeah there's 100 to 150 value and having everything built and warrantied by someone who knows what they're doing all right you know what i'm convinced very reasonable gaming rig reasonable part selections totally happy with the build quality and of course the performance speaks for itself or at least it would if i had remembered to open up the performance metrics got him i'm gonna keep doing the gotham thing forever i've already got complaints about it which makes me extremely happy so there's not much else to say vrla verla i don't really care how you pronounce it but you can check out their systems at the link down in the video description and it's not just gaming systems they've got professional stuff as well which i think is super super cool maybe next time they'll send a workstation over by the way subscribe to ShortCircuit are you okay i'm good yeah i'm fine"}
