00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:09.240
have you ever thought to yourself I've got very limited desk space but I simply

00:00:06.560 --> 00:00:16.920
cannot bear to put my computer on the floor and run ever so slightly longer

00:00:13.799 --> 00:00:20.519
wires okay so maybe that's not it but

00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:23.439
whatever the reason giant Tower PCS for

00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:30.080
enthusiasts are going away and these compact gaming machines are becoming

00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:32.640
more and more common but it seems like

00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:39.200
everything that I've seen so far has suffered from one flaw or another but

00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:45.320
maybe it doesn't have to be that way meet the ASUS Rog

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:51.120
g20cb it's the best allaround mini

00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:55.120
gaming PC I've seen yet and it has RGB

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:55.120
lighting dce

00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:10.439
tunnel bear is the simple VPN app that makes it easy to browse privately and

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

00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:18.439
video description no it's not quite

00:01:15.240 --> 00:01:21.840
gaming console sized the Xbox One S is

00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:25.360
less than half the size but the Rog

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:28.240
g20cb manages to pack much more gaming

00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:34.759
power into its still very compact footprint it's got a COR i7 6700 quad

00:01:31.720 --> 00:01:39.159
core with hyperthreading 16 gigs of ddr4

00:01:34.759 --> 00:01:41.880
RAM a 512 gig SATA 3 SSD and a 1 TB hard

00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:48.439
drive for a good balance of Speedy and spacious storage and it rocks an NVIDIA

00:01:45.479 --> 00:01:54.880
GTX 1080 graphics card making it suitable for much more than the intense

00:01:52.000 --> 00:02:00.439
full HD gaming that it advertises on the tacky sticker on the front in fact it

00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:05.600
absolutely chewed through through every VR application we could throw at it and

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

00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:19.599
across the board with most games running at or near Max details but that wasn't

00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:26.840
the most impressive thing about it what blew me away was how quietly it did all

00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:29.519
of this the g20cb is not just whisper

00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:34.599
quiet when browsing the web it impressed the pants off me while I was running an

00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:41.200
hourlong CPU stress test and doing the same thing in Doom at 4K and remember

00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:47.280
this is coming from the same quiet freak who moved his computers into a separate

00:02:43.640 --> 00:02:50.760
room to get away from fan and pump

00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:53.319
noise so it turns out that the angled

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

00:02:56.519 --> 00:03:04.080
part of an intentional acoustic management strategy the G20 is quiet

00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:10.040
from a normal sitting position next to it at a desk but significantly louder if

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

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

00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:26.959
Grill but it's actually blocked off to

00:03:23.239 --> 00:03:29.080
keep noise inside the system cool air is

00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:34.319
drawn up through the Bottom by custom blower Style fans and exhausted by the

00:03:31.920 --> 00:03:39.799
rear blower on the video card and through this wide heat sink near the top

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:46.799
it works so well that even turning the video card fan up to 100% yielded only

00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:48.319
an additional 50 MHz or so on the GPU in

00:03:46.799 --> 00:03:53.439
Doom at 4K one of the biggest question marks

00:03:50.879 --> 00:04:00.000
with any pre-built and especially a compact one though is upgradeability and

00:03:56.519 --> 00:04:01.439
the g20cb is no exception here but if

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:07.079
you're willing to break the warranty sticker I was able to upgrade the 16 gig

00:04:04.519 --> 00:04:11.879
single Channel memory to 32 gigs of dual Channel only removing about five screws

00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:16.519
and if you're willing to dig a Little Deeper the video card can be swapped

00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:22.199
ASUS includes an extra power cable for you for this and unlike its predecessor

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

00:04:24.440 --> 00:04:32.160
for an NVMe SSD so with rumor sites predicting that

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:38.840
both AMD and Intel's next Generation CPUs will perform marginally better at

00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:41.520
best and the full stop in the trend

00:04:38.840 --> 00:04:45.680
towards more power hungry video cards I don't expect either the motherboard or

00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:50.759
the weird dual brick external power supply to hold back your gaming

00:04:47.440 --> 00:04:54.240
experience for a few years at least so

00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:56.800
in summary the G20 CB has some

00:04:54.240 --> 00:05:02.039
unexceptional qualities the terrible lighting Control software treats your

00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:05.080
inputs as mere suggestions the dedicated

00:05:02.039 --> 00:05:07.280
second power plug for the GPU can be

00:05:05.080 --> 00:05:11.840
accidentally yanked not that I speak from

00:05:08.080 --> 00:05:14.280
experience and the included SK HX SSD

00:05:11.840 --> 00:05:19.680
isn't the highest performance I've seen But at only a $200 premium over throwing

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

00:05:22.520 --> 00:05:31.240
and Incredibly quiet gaming computer this one left me very

00:05:27.919 --> 00:05:33.520
impressed we have teamed up with razor

00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:38.080

lightweight frame a headband design for better weight distribution and less

00:05:55.160 --> 00:06:02.120
clamping Force ear cushions that are larger softer and have better sound
