1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:09,240
have you ever thought to yourself I've got very limited desk space but I simply

2
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:16,920
cannot bear to put my computer on the floor and run ever so slightly longer

3
00:00:13,799 --> 00:00:20,519
wires okay so maybe that's not it but

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:23,439
whatever the reason giant Tower PCS for

5
00:00:20,519 --> 00:00:30,080
enthusiasts are going away and these compact gaming machines are becoming

6
00:00:26,039 --> 00:00:32,640
more and more common but it seems like

7
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:39,200
everything that I've seen so far has suffered from one flaw or another but

8
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:45,320
maybe it doesn't have to be that way meet the ASUS Rog

9
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:51,120
g20cb it's the best allaround mini

10
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:55,120
gaming PC I've seen yet and it has RGB

11
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,120
lighting dce

12
00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:10,439
tunnel bear is the simple VPN app that makes it easy to browse privately and

13
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:15,240
enjoy a more open internet to try tunnel bear for free check out the link in the

14
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:18,439
video description no it's not quite

15
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:21,840
gaming console sized the Xbox One S is

16
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:25,360
less than half the size but the Rog

17
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:28,240
g20cb manages to pack much more gaming

18
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:34,759
power into its still very compact footprint it's got a COR i7 6700 quad

19
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:39,159
core with hyperthreading 16 gigs of ddr4

20
00:01:34,759 --> 00:01:41,880
RAM a 512 gig SATA 3 SSD and a 1 TB hard

21
00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:48,439
drive for a good balance of Speedy and spacious storage and it rocks an NVIDIA

22
00:01:45,479 --> 00:01:54,880
GTX 1080 graphics card making it suitable for much more than the intense

23
00:01:52,000 --> 00:02:00,439
full HD gaming that it advertises on the tacky sticker on the front in fact it

24
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:05,600
absolutely chewed through through every VR application we could throw at it and

25
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:13,239
made short work of our 4K gaming test Suite as well managing 45 to 60 plus FPS

26
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:19,599
across the board with most games running at or near Max details but that wasn't

27
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:26,840
the most impressive thing about it what blew me away was how quietly it did all

28
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:29,519
of this the g20cb is not just whisper

29
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:34,599
quiet when browsing the web it impressed the pants off me while I was running an

30
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:41,200
hourlong CPU stress test and doing the same thing in Doom at 4K and remember

31
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:47,280
this is coming from the same quiet freak who moved his computers into a separate

32
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:50,760
room to get away from fan and pump

33
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:53,319
noise so it turns out that the angled

34
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:58,400
shape of the case and the indent at the bottom are more than just style they're

35
00:02:56,519 --> 00:03:04,080
part of an intentional acoustic management strategy the G20 is quiet

36
00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:10,040
from a normal sitting position next to it at a desk but significantly louder if

37
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:16,799
you listen from the bottom or the top or the back the entire front of the system

38
00:03:13,959 --> 00:03:23,239
other than the slim DVD drive looks like an air intake with a space AG Rog styled

39
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:26,959
Grill but it's actually blocked off to

40
00:03:23,239 --> 00:03:29,080
keep noise inside the system cool air is

41
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:34,319
drawn up through the Bottom by custom blower Style fans and exhausted by the

42
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:39,799
rear blower on the video card and through this wide heat sink near the top

43
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:46,799
it works so well that even turning the video card fan up to 100% yielded only

44
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:48,319
an additional 50 MHz or so on the GPU in

45
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:53,439
Doom at 4K one of the biggest question marks

46
00:03:50,879 --> 00:04:00,000
with any pre-built and especially a compact one though is upgradeability and

47
00:03:56,519 --> 00:04:01,439
the g20cb is no exception here but if

48
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:07,079
you're willing to break the warranty sticker I was able to upgrade the 16 gig

49
00:04:04,519 --> 00:04:11,879
single Channel memory to 32 gigs of dual Channel only removing about five screws

50
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:16,519
and if you're willing to dig a Little Deeper the video card can be swapped

51
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:22,199
ASUS includes an extra power cable for you for this and unlike its predecessor

52
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:26,639
the CB version has an empty m.2 slot under the optical drive that can be used

53
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:32,160
for an NVMe SSD so with rumor sites predicting that

54
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:38,840
both AMD and Intel's next Generation CPUs will perform marginally better at

55
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:41,520
best and the full stop in the trend

56
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:45,680
towards more power hungry video cards I don't expect either the motherboard or

57
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:50,759
the weird dual brick external power supply to hold back your gaming

58
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:54,240
experience for a few years at least so

59
00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:56,800
in summary the G20 CB has some

60
00:04:54,240 --> 00:05:02,039
unexceptional qualities the terrible lighting Control software treats your

61
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:05,080
inputs as mere suggestions the dedicated

62
00:05:02,039 --> 00:05:07,280
second power plug for the GPU can be

63
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:11,840
accidentally yanked not that I speak from

64
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:14,280
experience and the included SK HX SSD

65
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:19,680
isn't the highest performance I've seen But at only a $200 premium over throwing

66
00:05:17,919 --> 00:05:25,280
all the parts in a cart on New Egg and building it yourself for a super small

67
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:31,240
and Incredibly quiet gaming computer this one left me very

68
00:05:27,919 --> 00:05:33,520
impressed we have teamed up with razor

69
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:38,080

lightweight frame a headband design for better weight distribution and less

74

interchangeable it's got a fully retractable unidirectional microphone

and most importantly from the time that I've spent with it it is just playing

78
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:19,720
way better than their last headset so there's a definite thumbs up for that
