WEBVTT

00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:14.679
yet another crazy update from the Crazy Russian laboratory this is and I don't

00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:19.439
know if you guys know this but my original Corsair dream machine in the

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

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:29.960
ever and that was featuring an x58 platform so that's all old and crappy

00:00:27.439 --> 00:00:35.239
now right so now we have an updated Corsair dream machine Elite this is with

00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:43.239
Intel's latest x79 platform so we're using Aus P9 x79 Pro motherboard we also

00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:45.000
have an Intel Core i7 3930k unlocked

00:00:43.239 --> 00:00:49.280
processor this will be pre-overclocked although the final clock speeds are to

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:53.800
be determined we want to make sure that whatever clock speed we validate at we

00:00:51.559 --> 00:00:57.079
validate it in a case with the side panel closed to ensure that our

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

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

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

00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:16.320
schemes other than those two video cards that's two Radeon

00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:18.840
hd7950 so the reason we went with 279

00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:23.640
50s we went with a 3930k we went with 16 gigs of RAM we

00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:29.000
went the pr level motherboard so this is all the highest possible

00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:33.920
performance sort of scaled back one notch with within reason so you're not

00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:39.520
paying that huge premium for getting the Halo Parts like the extreme Edition like

00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:47.079
the uh Republic of Gamers board the 797s but you're getting that sort of 85%

00:01:43.759 --> 00:01:48.920
of the performance at you know 65% of

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

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

00:01:55.960 --> 00:02:02.079
capable of powering a machine like this so it looks great performs great but

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

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

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:13.520
finish up on the outside here so on the outside you guys have seen the 800d

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

00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:22.160
to include USB 3 now although the lighting is very terrible here so I

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

00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:30.239
terab storage Drive hard drives are finally starting to come back down and

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:36.440
pricing a little bit as well has the latest Intel 520 Series sand Force SSD

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

00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:43.840
lighting with this system and when I take this off it's actually going to

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

00:02:47.959 --> 00:02:55.000
these cool there we are these cool LED

00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:57.519
strips from bit Phoenix see here so

00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:01.360
there's LEDs spaced out here you can actually use little adapters to extend

00:02:59.720 --> 00:03:04.920
them them if you want to run longer chains of them see just with these four

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

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

00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:16.239
here if you want to get some extra lighting there uh these are really

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

00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:25.760
somewhat cheaper and there's a wider variety plus they have that extension

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

00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:35.080
running through here other than that this is a fairly standard Corsair case

00:03:32.920 --> 00:03:41.239
except for the upgraded fans so we're using Spectre Pro LED fans for the three

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

00:03:43.720 --> 00:03:49.799
an h100 cooling the CPU we have a 140 mm

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

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

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

00:03:59.040 --> 00:04:04.599
doesn't really contrib read anything to the looks I already mentioned the HX

00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:07.959
1050 so you can see the wiring is nice and clean there's almost nothing even

00:04:06.040 --> 00:04:12.159
coming out of the power supply and then we're using the included cable routing

00:04:09.640 --> 00:04:16.799
options in the 800d in order to make things look as clean as possible

00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:20.400
inside now this is something that probably a couple people are going to

00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:24.199
comment on these 7950 are very close together the reason for that is that

00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:27.759
ASUS doesn't include long Crossfire Bridges with these motherboards so it's

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

00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:38.600
Express 16x slot either way it's not the end of the world because during gaming

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

00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:48.240
these cards produce almost no heat at all anyway so it's definitely not an

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

00:04:50.400 --> 00:04:57.080
solution that we can live with here in the PC laboratory I think that pretty

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

00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:09.639
ailable on this motherboard so we do have Intel

00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:12.160
Ethernet which is cool 4 USB 3.0 ports

00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:16.160
eeta we have their BIOS flashback feature BIOS flashback is cool because

00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:20.080
even though it comes pre-overclocked if you decide to keep tweaking it you will

00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:23.560
and and you run into issues where you corrupt your BIOS or you update the BIOS

00:05:21.919 --> 00:05:27.600
and you corrupt it that way you can actually flash it back just by putting a

00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:30.960
BIOS file on a USB disc putting it into the corresponding Port all this info is

00:05:29.400 --> 00:05:35.000
in your motherboard manual which you'll receive with your system and then you

00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:38.840
can reflash the BIOS just like that so that's actually really cool as well now

00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:42.240
there was something that I was sure I wanted to

00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:45.880
mention oh yeah okay well there's obviously the fact that while this is

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

00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:55.319
79 50s instead of 797s no extreme Edition it can be upgraded to add all of

00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:59.360
those parts and the Aesthetics will still be awesome last thing I want you

00:05:57.039 --> 00:06:04.720
guys to see is actually the turned on you can you can see the brightness of

00:06:01.280 --> 00:06:06.319
these LEDs up there so I think that's

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

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

00:06:12.520 --> 00:06:18.880
bright they are without like blinding the camera so thank you for checking out

00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:22.440
this PC laboratory update the Corsair

00:06:18.880 --> 00:06:24.319
dream machine Elite updated 2012 edition

00:06:22.440 --> 00:06:28.319
will be coming out soon don't forget to subscribe to lus techtips for more

unboxings reviews behind the scenes updates here in the lab and other great

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

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:38.240
yet but it's like balling
