1
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:14,679
yet another crazy update from the Crazy Russian laboratory this is and I don't

2
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:19,439
know if you guys know this but my original Corsair dream machine in the

3
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:24,640
800d which is the same case we have here today is one of my most viewed videos

4
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:29,960
ever and that was featuring an x58 platform so that's all old and crappy

5
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:35,239
now right so now we have an updated Corsair dream machine Elite this is with

6
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:43,239
Intel's latest x79 platform so we're using Aus P9 x79 Pro motherboard we also

7
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:45,000
have an Intel Core i7 3930k unlocked

8
00:00:43,239 --> 00:00:49,280
processor this will be pre-overclocked although the final clock speeds are to

9
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:53,800
be determined we want to make sure that whatever clock speed we validate at we

10
00:00:51,559 --> 00:00:57,079
validate it in a case with the side panel closed to ensure that our

11
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:02,960
customers are not going to have any issues with their pre-overclocked machine it also has some other stuff

12
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:06,560
that's fairly new as well you know what let's finish up with the outside before

13
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:10,759
we get inside so you can see it's got a bit of a blue and black overall color

14
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:16,320
schemes other than those two video cards that's two Radeon

15
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:18,840
hd7950 so the reason we went with 279

16
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:23,640
50s we went with a 3930k we went with 16 gigs of RAM we

17
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:29,000
went the pr level motherboard so this is all the highest possible

18
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:33,920
performance sort of scaled back one notch with within reason so you're not

19
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:39,520
paying that huge premium for getting the Halo Parts like the extreme Edition like

20
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:47,079
the uh Republic of Gamers board the 797s but you're getting that sort of 85%

21
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:48,920
of the performance at you know 65% of

22
00:01:47,079 --> 00:01:53,520
the price sort of rule that tends to apply to stuff like that so we've gone

23
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:57,560
with an HX 1050 yes the ax is a higher end power supply but this is also fully

24
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:02,079
capable of powering a machine like this so it looks great performs great but

25
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,680
it's going to come in at a price that I don't actually know what the price is

26
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,959
going to be yet but it'll be hopefully less than you think so why don't we just

27
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:13,520
finish up on the outside here so on the outside you guys have seen the 800d

28
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:19,080
before we've got a Blu-ray player we've got USB 3 so the 800d has been updated

29
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:22,160
to include USB 3 now although the lighting is very terrible here so I

30
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:26,239
don't know how good that is in here we find some cool stuff so there's a three

31
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:30,239
terab storage Drive hard drives are finally starting to come back down and

32
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:36,440
pricing a little bit as well has the latest Intel 520 Series sand Force SSD

33
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:40,959
now this is going to be kind of cool guys we're using a different kind of lighting it's fully customizable

34
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,840
lighting with this system and when I take this off it's actually going to

35
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:51,680
unplug one of them so I got to be a little bit careful here but we are using

36
00:02:47,959 --> 00:02:55,000
these cool there we are these cool LED

37
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:57,519
strips from bit Phoenix see here so

38
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,360
there's LEDs spaced out here you can actually use little adapters to extend

39
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,920
them them if you want to run longer chains of them see just with these four

40
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:09,080
little plugs here that's all you got to do you can actually cut them at the

41
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,360
pre-marked places so they're marked on the back so you can do little short ones

42
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:16,239
here if you want to get some extra lighting there uh these are really

43
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:21,280
really cool these are pretty similar to the lean Lee ones that I looked at a little while ago although they are

44
00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:25,760
somewhat cheaper and there's a wider variety plus they have that extension

45
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:30,480
ability which the lean Lee ones did not have so we've got the cable for that

46
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:35,080
running through here other than that this is a fairly standard Corsair case

47
00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:41,239
except for the upgraded fans so we're using Spectre Pro LED fans for the three

48
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:47,159
that's three right yeah yeah for the three 120 mil fans in the top we've got

49
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:49,799
an h100 cooling the CPU we have a 140 mm

50
00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:54,159
Spectra Pro fan here and then finally we have another 120 mm here and I don't

51
00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:57,319
know if they upgraded this one I suspect I did no that's the stock fan that one's

52
00:03:55,959 --> 00:04:00,360
pretty quiet anyway cuz it has the Shroud on it and you can't see it so it

53
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,599
doesn't really contrib read anything to the looks I already mentioned the HX

54
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:07,959
1050 so you can see the wiring is nice and clean there's almost nothing even

55
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:12,159
coming out of the power supply and then we're using the included cable routing

56
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:16,799
options in the 800d in order to make things look as clean as possible

57
00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:20,400
inside now this is something that probably a couple people are going to

58
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:24,199
comment on these 7950 are very close together the reason for that is that

59
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:27,759
ASUS doesn't include long Crossfire Bridges with these motherboards so it's

60
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:34,039
something where if you wanted to Source an aftermarket Crossfire Bridge you could move it down to the bottom PCI

61
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:38,600
Express 16x slot either way it's not the end of the world because during gaming

62
00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:43,320
yes the fans will ramp up no they do not overheat and then when you're idling the

63
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:48,240
these cards produce almost no heat at all anyway so it's definitely not an

64
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:52,639
issue during just day-to-day usage so yeah it's not perfect but it's a

65
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:57,080
solution that we can live with here in the PC laboratory I think that pretty

66
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:02,199
much covers it you know I mean we might as well show the overall IO options of

67
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:09,639
ailable on this motherboard so we do have Intel

68
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:12,160
Ethernet which is cool 4 USB 3.0 ports

69
00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:16,160
eeta we have their BIOS flashback feature BIOS flashback is cool because

70
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:20,080
even though it comes pre-overclocked if you decide to keep tweaking it you will

71
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,560
and and you run into issues where you corrupt your BIOS or you update the BIOS

72
00:05:21,919 --> 00:05:27,600
and you corrupt it that way you can actually flash it back just by putting a

73
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:30,960
BIOS file on a USB disc putting it into the corresponding Port all this info is

74
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:35,000
in your motherboard manual which you'll receive with your system and then you

75
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:38,840
can reflash the BIOS just like that so that's actually really cool as well now

76
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:42,240
there was something that I was sure I wanted to

77
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,880
mention oh yeah okay well there's obviously the fact that while this is

78
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:50,759
sort of not quite Balls to the walls you know 16 gigs instead of 32 gigs of RAM

79
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:55,319
79 50s instead of 797s no extreme Edition it can be upgraded to add all of

80
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,360
those parts and the Aesthetics will still be awesome last thing I want you

81
00:05:57,039 --> 00:06:04,720
guys to see is actually the turned on you can you can see the brightness of

82
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:06,319
these LEDs up there so I think that's

83
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:10,520
cool can you see that yeah it's like almost like too bright like if I like

84
00:06:08,479 --> 00:06:14,199
cover here a little bit maybe I don't know I don't know how to like show how

85
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:18,880
bright they are without like blinding the camera so thank you for checking out

86
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:22,440
this PC laboratory update the Corsair

87
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:24,319
dream machine Elite updated 2012 edition

88
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:28,319
will be coming out soon don't forget to subscribe to lus techtips for more

89
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:33,319
unboxings reviews behind the scenes updates here in the lab and other great

90
00:06:31,039 --> 00:06:38,240
stuff like that also this SSD is awesome I know I haven't done a video about it

91
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,240
yet but it's like balling
