1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:10,519
so about a month ago origin PC did a live stream of building a very special

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:15,080
machine one for me so it's finally here

3
00:00:10,519 --> 00:00:17,279
in a massive wooden crate and

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:25,640
naturally the first thing I'll be doing is tearing it apart welcome to another

5
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:28,230
unbuild log here on minus Tech tips if I

6
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:36,800
could only get this on the table

7
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:45,719
okay so I don't know who came up with Origins premium shipping containers but

8
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:48,719
this thing is amazing it actually feels

9
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:52,600
like the stuff inside is worth

10
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:54,440
$4,000 which in this case is probably

11
00:00:52,600 --> 00:01:00,559
because it is it's quite a high-end config so you start by removing all the

12
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:03,600
screws from the top of the wooden crate

13
00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:06,240
you can do this by

14
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:11,439
hand but I would strongly recommend that you whip out an electric drill if you're

15
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:13,280
not looking to uh beef up those forearms

16
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:17,799
then the side comes off you slide the cardboard box out of the wooden crate

17
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:22,520
remove these plastic lock things and lift the whole top of the box up to

18
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:27,560
reveal the accessory carton with some good stuff like extra power supply

19
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:29,720
cables uh magnetic Wi-Fi antennas and

20
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:32,759
ooh an RGB lighting controller and some Le L useful stuff like CDs and a DVI to

21
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:39,240
VGA adapter as well as the most glorious

22
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:42,640
Soft Cell foam I have ever laid my hands on I mean I know I'm going on and on

23
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:47,880
about the packaging at this point but it just keeps getting better the case is

24
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:54,360
shrouded in this cloth scratch cover and when you lift that off bam more badass

25
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:56,479
foam this uh bag stuff works by mixing a

26
00:01:54,360 --> 00:02:00,399
couple of expanding chemicals when you break the internal separator kind of

27
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:05,719
like a glow stick then what it does is it expands to fill in all the nooks and

28
00:02:02,759 --> 00:02:09,479
crannies making it much safer to ship systems with graphics cards

29
00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:13,000
pre-installed I remember looking into these back when I worked for a system

30
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:17,840
integrator we got a couple of samples and then decided against it due to the

31
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:24,560
uh ching ching that they were going to cost us now I've seen Origins Millennium

32
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:27,480
case at shows but I've never really been

33
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:32,360
handson with it it is surprisingly well thought out mine is a midtower

34
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:36,840
configuration without the modular bottom piece for more drives or Cooling and

35
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:40,519
with a beautiful red accent paint job that goes perfectly with the component

36
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:44,800
choices inside I let them pick the hardware since they're the ones ponying

37
00:02:42,159 --> 00:02:49,280
up for the system here so I removed this back cover this is here because the

38
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:53,599
motherboard can go in four different ways or something like that so the io

39
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:59,319
might not always end up going to the rear and fired up the system there's

40
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:04,799
that RGB lighting it's got the same basic controls as you'd expect so

41
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:07,239
whatever color you want on the inside uh

42
00:03:04,799 --> 00:03:12,120
sort of front top side accent pieces and the front logo but with a Twist there's

43
00:03:09,799 --> 00:03:18,280
a button on the case that you can push to control a completely separate UV LED

44
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:22,760
strip I don't have any UV reactive Parts in this machine but it's a nice touch

45
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:27,519
for those who do with the system fired up I checked out the pre-installed

46
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:31,319
programs actually nothing too bad in here and then I ran some stress tests to

47
00:03:29,799 --> 00:03:35,760
ensure that system temperatures and performance were as expected one cool

48
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:40,879
note is that while I took my readings from Ida 64 and software the CPU temp

49
00:03:38,799 --> 00:03:46,239
can also be read from a little display directly on the motherboard cool the

50
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:52,239
video cards brought about the first challenge in my unbuild even I fix it

51
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:57,439
couldn't save me from these skinny holes to reach the GPU screws so I needed my

52
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:02,439
old Jeweler screwdrivers and a pair of pliers to extract them and actually no

53
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:06,720
not quite I also needed some side Cutters since the PCI Express power

54
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:12,840
connectors were cleverly cable managed to the fan power for the video card so

55
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,560
they would not move at all speaking of

56
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:23,280
the video card though these are MSI gaming series GTX 980 TI normally I

57
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:26,360
prefer rear exhaust cards but this case

58
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:29,320
has ample air flow between the rear top

59
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:34,199
and bottom fans for the extra heat that gets blown around inside the case and

60
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:38,199
these types of coolers do do a better job of keeping the card itself cool and

61
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:44,320
you can see that in the results from cooling even though it was 32° outside

62
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:48,360
on the day that I was doing this testing the CPU Cooler is a custom jobby from

63
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:52,680
acitech you can tell from the design of the hold down with Origins branding on

64
00:04:50,479 --> 00:04:56,000
the Block and the long quinch tubes go over to the front where they're

65
00:04:53,960 --> 00:05:01,360
connected to the radiator before we look at that though we'll pull out the CPU

66
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,520
the core i7 67 100K is pretty much the

67
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:09,280
perfect choice for a system of this class as long as you don't intend to add

68
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:15,680
more graphics cards or a ton more PCI Express expansion cards keeping it cool

69
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,520
is a massive triple 120 mm radiator

70
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:23,520
something I had wished for from the major AI makers for ages with three

71
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:28,520
origin branded fans running through a clever little Cable Management grommet

72
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:32,720
to a fan Splitter on a custom PCB near the front of the chassis hiding behind

73
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:37,759
the 5 and a quarter inch Bay it should be noted that this is one of the few

74
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:42,360
things on this case that is not symmetrical for power it doesn't get

75
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:50,680
much more Overkill than a 1,300 watt EVGA G2 and while the

76
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:53,120
Supernova blows up everything and takes

77
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:56,880
everything else with it branding of evga's power supplies doesn't make a ton

78
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:00,479
of sense to me I can't argue with the quality or in this case the cable

79
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:06,720
management I don't know why more case makers like

80
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:09,560
people who just make cases not origin

81
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:13,880
who has their case designed and put systems in it I don't know why more case

82
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:20,599
makers don't build their products like this there are so many cable management

83
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:26,080
points they cost nothing extra to manufacture and make life so much easier

84
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:30,479
for the Builder who wants to do a professional job of cable management

85
00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:34,199
behind the motherboard tray Origins motherboard choice is a little more

86
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:38,479
Overkill than I would normally opt for for a personal system but I can't fault

87
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:45,960
the features of the z170a gaming M9 a it's got the onboard

88
00:06:43,039 --> 00:06:53,000
sound isolated from the rest of the PCB dual m.2 slots for up to two m.2 ssds

89
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:58,080
it's got a ton of IO including USB type-c dual front USB 3 headers for the

90
00:06:55,919 --> 00:07:02,520
four front ports on this case it's got ample Cooling and a flashy thank

91
00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:08,400
goodness I don't have to install anything but the be driver killer

92
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:10,599
networking solution for RAM it appears

93
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:17,240
at first that they've gone with plain Jane dual Channel hyperx Fury ddr4 but

94
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:21,560
wait what's that I want hyperx REM with

95
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:24,199
my name on it that is freaking awesome

96
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:28,919
which I guess leads us to mass storage I really liked the hot swap system for

97
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:33,120
this case one of the weird things is that only three of the bays are plugged

98
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:37,599
in out of the factory so you might have to guess and check a little to find out

99
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:41,160
which ones have SATA connections there's no reason that they shouldn't have been

100
00:07:39,039 --> 00:07:45,919
able to run a couple more cables and do them all but overall the 1 TB Seagate

101
00:07:44,039 --> 00:07:51,360
drive that ships in the system should be well protected and well cooled by this

102
00:07:48,599 --> 00:07:56,479
aluminum 5 Bay hot swap cage with expansion being a piece of cake our

103
00:07:54,080 --> 00:08:00,479
optical drive is well you guessed it it's an optical drive woohoo it's one of

104
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:04,240
those things that used to have sex appeal actually and now is about as

105
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:08,840
interesting to enthusiasts as a USB powered Jack Lantern probably less there

106
00:08:06,919 --> 00:08:14,800
are a few things that I want to take a closer look at here on the case it took

107
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:19,240
me a while but I finally figured out the front logo illumination and how that

108
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:24,400
happens without any power leads going to it there's an LED that comes out of that

109
00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:29,560
custom PCB that they have in the in the front top of the case that handles the

110
00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:33,959
IR receiver for the RGB lighting as as well as all the front IO and front

111
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:38,719
buttons and all of that good stuff I also figured out how they mount the

112
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:45,640
motherboard in the different configurations so you just take these

113
00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:48,760
rails unscrew them and there are just a

114
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,519
ton of holes in this baby so depending

115
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:55,440
on what orientation you want to mount it in let's say we wanted a reverse ATX you

116
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:58,440
just move them around to where they go and you slide the motherboard tray in

117
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:03,760
the other way you put some screws back in and there you have it while I was

118
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:08,279
doing that though I discovered that one of the RGB lighting strips was in the

119
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:13,760
way of trying to orient the motherboard the other way and it turns out this is

120
00:09:10,959 --> 00:09:17,880
really cool origin actually did up their own RGB lighting strips they've actually

121
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:24,079
like got their name right on the back of the pcbs so these use a hard PCB rather

122
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:30,360
than a flexible one and then they are hard mounted with standoffs and screws

123
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:35,040
to the case rather than rying on adhesive cuz if as you guys probably

124
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:39,680
know if you've ever used LED strips that adhesive can come off pretty easily

125
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:43,880
especially over time that's an over-engineered solution to the problem

126
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:49,720
of LED strips falling off in shipping but I really really like it so there you

127
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:57,480
have it guys my unbuild treatment of origin PC's Masterpiece

128
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:59,959
is complete I have reduced it to its

129
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:03,519
bare components and if you guys were thinking well gee

130
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:06,279
lonus that is a crying shame CU I'd love to have an origin PC we've actually got

131
00:10:05,079 --> 00:10:10,760
a link in the video description including an offer code it's Linus OPC

132
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:14,519
you can get yourself free CPU and GPU overclocking from those guys but if you

133
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,760
like the video and you're not looking to buy a computer necessarily all you got

134
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:21,720
to do is click the like button get subscribed for more videos just like

135
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:25,079
this one and uh hey maybe if you really liked it you can support us by buying a

136
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:29,399
cool shirt like this one well actually not quite like this one this one's all

137
00:10:26,839 --> 00:10:32,880
foily and shiny it's a new design that's hopefully going to be coming soon by

138
00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:37,680
joining our community Forum where you can ask questions and answer questions

139
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:40,920
and maybe even become a contributor over there you get a cool little contributor

140
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:44,040
badge or just by checking out our other channels we've got some great videos up

141
00:10:42,519 --> 00:10:46,920
on Channel Super Fun lately you can click the little I in the corner if you

142
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:53,920
want to check out the one that we've got featured right here and I think that's it that's all I will see you guys again

143
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,920
next time
