00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:10.519
so about a month ago origin PC did a live stream of building a very special

00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:15.080
machine one for me so it's finally here

00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:17.279
in a massive wooden crate and

00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:25.640
naturally the first thing I'll be doing is tearing it apart welcome to another

00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:28.230
unbuild log here on minus Tech tips if I

00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:36.800
could only get this on the table

00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:45.719
okay so I don't know who came up with Origins premium shipping containers but

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:48.719
this thing is amazing it actually feels

00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:52.600
like the stuff inside is worth

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:54.440
$4,000 which in this case is probably

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

00:00:57.480 --> 00:01:03.600
screws from the top of the wooden crate

00:01:00.559 --> 00:01:06.240
you can do this by

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:11.439
hand but I would strongly recommend that you whip out an electric drill if you're

00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:13.280
not looking to uh beef up those forearms

00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:17.799
then the side comes off you slide the cardboard box out of the wooden crate

00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:22.520
remove these plastic lock things and lift the whole top of the box up to

00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:27.560
reveal the accessory carton with some good stuff like extra power supply

00:01:24.520 --> 00:01:29.720
cables uh magnetic Wi-Fi antennas and

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

00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:39.240
VGA adapter as well as the most glorious

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

00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:47.880
about the packaging at this point but it just keeps getting better the case is

00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:54.360
shrouded in this cloth scratch cover and when you lift that off bam more badass

00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:56.479
foam this uh bag stuff works by mixing a

00:01:54.360 --> 00:02:00.399
couple of expanding chemicals when you break the internal separator kind of

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

00:02:02.759 --> 00:02:09.479
crannies making it much safer to ship systems with graphics cards

00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:13.000
pre-installed I remember looking into these back when I worked for a system

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:17.840
integrator we got a couple of samples and then decided against it due to the

00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:24.560
uh ching ching that they were going to cost us now I've seen Origins Millennium

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:27.480
case at shows but I've never really been

00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:32.360
handson with it it is surprisingly well thought out mine is a midtower

00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:36.840
configuration without the modular bottom piece for more drives or Cooling and

00:02:34.760 --> 00:02:40.519
with a beautiful red accent paint job that goes perfectly with the component

00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:44.800
choices inside I let them pick the hardware since they're the ones ponying

00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:49.280
up for the system here so I removed this back cover this is here because the

00:02:46.920 --> 00:02:53.599
motherboard can go in four different ways or something like that so the io

00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:59.319
might not always end up going to the rear and fired up the system there's

00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:04.799
that RGB lighting it's got the same basic controls as you'd expect so

00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:07.239
whatever color you want on the inside uh

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

00:03:09.799 --> 00:03:18.280
a button on the case that you can push to control a completely separate UV LED

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

00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:27.519
for those who do with the system fired up I checked out the pre-installed

00:03:24.959 --> 00:03:31.319
programs actually nothing too bad in here and then I ran some stress tests to

00:03:29.799 --> 00:03:35.760
ensure that system temperatures and performance were as expected one cool

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:40.879
note is that while I took my readings from Ida 64 and software the CPU temp

00:03:38.799 --> 00:03:46.239
can also be read from a little display directly on the motherboard cool the

00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:52.239
video cards brought about the first challenge in my unbuild even I fix it

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

00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:02.439
old Jeweler screwdrivers and a pair of pliers to extract them and actually no

00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:06.720
not quite I also needed some side Cutters since the PCI Express power

00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:12.840
connectors were cleverly cable managed to the fan power for the video card so

00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:14.560
they would not move at all speaking of

00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:23.280
the video card though these are MSI gaming series GTX 980 TI normally I

00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:26.360
prefer rear exhaust cards but this case

00:04:23.280 --> 00:04:29.320
has ample air flow between the rear top

00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:34.199
and bottom fans for the extra heat that gets blown around inside the case and

00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:38.199
these types of coolers do do a better job of keeping the card itself cool and

00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:44.320
you can see that in the results from cooling even though it was 32° outside

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

00:04:46.520 --> 00:04:52.680
acitech you can tell from the design of the hold down with Origins branding on

00:04:50.479 --> 00:04:56.000
the Block and the long quinch tubes go over to the front where they're

00:04:53.960 --> 00:05:01.360
connected to the radiator before we look at that though we'll pull out the CPU

00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:03.520
the core i7 67 100K is pretty much the

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

00:05:06.440 --> 00:05:15.680
more graphics cards or a ton more PCI Express expansion cards keeping it cool

00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:17.520
is a massive triple 120 mm radiator

00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:23.520
something I had wished for from the major AI makers for ages with three

00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:28.520
origin branded fans running through a clever little Cable Management grommet

00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:32.720
to a fan Splitter on a custom PCB near the front of the chassis hiding behind

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

00:05:34.840 --> 00:05:42.360
things on this case that is not symmetrical for power it doesn't get

00:05:40.280 --> 00:05:50.680
much more Overkill than a 1,300 watt EVGA G2 and while the

00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:53.120
Supernova blows up everything and takes

00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:56.880
everything else with it branding of evga's power supplies doesn't make a ton

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

00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:06.720
management I don't know why more case makers like

00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:09.560
people who just make cases not origin

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

00:06:11.280 --> 00:06:20.599
makers don't build their products like this there are so many cable management

00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:26.080
points they cost nothing extra to manufacture and make life so much easier

00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:30.479
for the Builder who wants to do a professional job of cable management

00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:34.199
behind the motherboard tray Origins motherboard choice is a little more

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:38.479
Overkill than I would normally opt for for a personal system but I can't fault

00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:45.960
the features of the z170a gaming M9 a it's got the onboard

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

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

00:06:55.919 --> 00:07:02.520
four front ports on this case it's got ample Cooling and a flashy thank

00:07:01.039 --> 00:07:08.400
goodness I don't have to install anything but the be driver killer

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:10.599
networking solution for RAM it appears

00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:17.240
at first that they've gone with plain Jane dual Channel hyperx Fury ddr4 but

00:07:13.599 --> 00:07:21.560
wait what's that I want hyperx REM with

00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:24.199
my name on it that is freaking awesome

00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:28.919
which I guess leads us to mass storage I really liked the hot swap system for

00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:33.120
this case one of the weird things is that only three of the bays are plugged

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

00:07:35.080 --> 00:07:41.160
which ones have SATA connections there's no reason that they shouldn't have been

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

00:07:44.039 --> 00:07:51.360
drive that ships in the system should be well protected and well cooled by this

00:07:48.599 --> 00:07:56.479
aluminum 5 Bay hot swap cage with expansion being a piece of cake our

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

00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:04.240
those things that used to have sex appeal actually and now is about as

00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:08.840
interesting to enthusiasts as a USB powered Jack Lantern probably less there

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

00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:19.240
me a while but I finally figured out the front logo illumination and how that

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

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

00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:33.959
IR receiver for the RGB lighting as as well as all the front IO and front

00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:38.719
buttons and all of that good stuff I also figured out how they mount the

00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:45.640
motherboard in the different configurations so you just take these

00:08:41.560 --> 00:08:48.760
rails unscrew them and there are just a

00:08:45.640 --> 00:08:50.519
ton of holes in this baby so depending

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

00:08:53.040 --> 00:08:58.440
just move them around to where they go and you slide the motherboard tray in

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

00:09:01.800 --> 00:09:08.279
doing that though I discovered that one of the RGB lighting strips was in the

00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:13.760
way of trying to orient the motherboard the other way and it turns out this is

00:09:10.959 --> 00:09:17.880
really cool origin actually did up their own RGB lighting strips they've actually

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

00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:30.360
than a flexible one and then they are hard mounted with standoffs and screws

00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:35.040
to the case rather than rying on adhesive cuz if as you guys probably

00:09:32.640 --> 00:09:39.680
know if you've ever used LED strips that adhesive can come off pretty easily

00:09:37.800 --> 00:09:43.880
especially over time that's an over-engineered solution to the problem

00:09:41.560 --> 00:09:49.720
of LED strips falling off in shipping but I really really like it so there you

00:09:46.760 --> 00:09:57.480
have it guys my unbuild treatment of origin PC's Masterpiece

00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:59.959
is complete I have reduced it to its

00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:03.519
bare components and if you guys were thinking well gee

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

00:10:05.079 --> 00:10:10.760
a link in the video description including an offer code it's Linus OPC

00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:14.519
you can get yourself free CPU and GPU overclocking from those guys but if you

00:10:12.760 --> 00:10:17.760
like the video and you're not looking to buy a computer necessarily all you got

00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:21.720
to do is click the like button get subscribed for more videos just like

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

00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:29.399
cool shirt like this one well actually not quite like this one this one's all

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

00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:37.680
joining our community Forum where you can ask questions and answer questions

00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:40.920
and maybe even become a contributor over there you get a cool little contributor

00:10:39.040 --> 00:10:44.040
badge or just by checking out our other channels we've got some great videos up

00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:46.920
on Channel Super Fun lately you can click the little I in the corner if you

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

00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:53.920
next time
