1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,080
origin pc sponsored this video and boy

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:11,120
am i ever excited because inside this crate

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:15,040
is not just a tiny gaming pc

4
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:16,880
but a tiny all AMD gaming pc that is

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:22,880
among the most powerful gaming rigs on the frickin planet

6
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:27,240
so let's pop this puppy open oh no i stripped it

7
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:42,160
the origin chronos

8
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:46,399
good quality packing material in addition to the flippin crate

9
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:54,320
it's small that's what she said

10
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:57,800
and she said it in exactly that tone she was excited

11
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:06,000
oops yeah you're right Yvonne's gonna get mad was that me

12
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:10,000
that couldn't have been me for accessories you've got a usb stick

13
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,119
32 gigs so you can actually use that on an ongoing basis power cord we're going

14
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:18,080
to need that extra power cables for the power supply

15
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:23,920
those nice individually sleeved ones big fan of those cable tie SATA cables extra

16
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:28,640
mounting hardware for the CPU cooler as well as a wireless antenna but we're

17
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,119
going full wired today ladies and gentlemen

18
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:40,720
this looks like a custom case design

19
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:44,560
i don't think i've ever seen even a chassis that this would have been

20
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:50,880
derived from very interesting

21
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:54,880
it's not as small as previous kronos designs that i've seen

22
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:59,360
but i'm expecting the cooling on this thing to even meet the gamer's nexus

23
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:03,360
standard of approval i mean what's it made of it's made of

24
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:09,599
plastic with vents which he wouldn't like but mesh

25
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:13,920
mesh and more mash followed by

26
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,480
a touch of mesh not bad

27
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,720
i don't know if i would pay extra for the tempered glass version i mean with

28
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:26,160
these kinds of fine meshes you can see through them anyway and then they can

29
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:30,319
also breathe that's good stuff

30
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:34,800
io is very complete here we've got type a and type c along with an audio jack in

31
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:38,560
the front and then all the usb 3 that most people could ever need and even a

32
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:43,360
postcode in the back so it's definitely an ASUS rog motherboard in there now

33
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,920
that's weird is that an 80 millimeter fan

34
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:50,800
it's been a long time since i've seen one of those and then of course our rx

35
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:55,680
6800 xt graphics card is down here in the

36
00:02:53,120 --> 00:03:00,800
bottom including a type c output so that is not really for vr anymore that's just

37
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:05,760
kind of like a type c DisplayPort the one thing that i feel like is kind of

38
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:10,560
missing here is origins optional metallic paint job would have been

39
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:15,760
pretty sick in their pink color but at 250 bucks i guess they wanted to send

40
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:19,040
like a balls to the wall config but

41
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:20,879
without anything unnecessary for maximum

42
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:25,200
gaming performance while i would think most people's first instinct would be to

43
00:03:23,519 --> 00:03:29,280
immediately fire this thing up and play games on it

44
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:33,840
i actually really want to know how this case is laid out internally so let's

45
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,840
crack it open

46
00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:40,400
back here we've got the rear of our motherboard the intake for our power

47
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:45,120
supply which has ample access to nice fresh air through the mesh we've got our

48
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:49,760
two and a half inch SSD as well as an RGB hub and then one of these little

49
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:54,400
expander dude adama jigs for led strips so i'm expecting to find RGB strips but

50
00:03:52,239 --> 00:03:58,560
surprisingly there's nothing here on the back side which would have actually

51
00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:02,640
looked really good especially with a strip along the top with that mesh side

52
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:07,360
panel oh maybe it's just on the front yeah maybe they went full full frontal

53
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:10,640
you know with their lighting very interesting

54
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:15,280
i see some stuff so they've tucked all the cables kind of

55
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:19,919
up here where the modular interface for the power supply is so you can't really

56
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:24,000
see them under this mount for what looks like a 240 millimeter radiator you can

57
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:28,400
see our graphics card is just plugged directly into the motherboard and then

58
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:32,880
it looks like there's a little usb like internal usb header hub

59
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:37,600
that they've double sided taped over on the bottom there what's really cool

60
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:42,639
about this case is that look at this every panel comes off

61
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:47,680
so you have totally unrestricted access to the internal components

62
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:52,320
that is as long as you move the mount for the aio radiator

63
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:58,639
it really is a thing to behold when a system integrator designs a case

64
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:00,639
because everything about it is like

65
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:06,479
man this is so easy to work in like clearly

66
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:08,479
someone at origin pc is like look i got

67
00:05:06,479 --> 00:05:13,120
sausage fingers i need to be able to work on the computers we sell

68
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:17,280
boom there's your solution the motherboard alone costs as much as a

69
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:22,960
ps5 it's a crosshair eight impact but this thing is loaded for bear we got i

70
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:26,639
think it's a 5950x 32 gigs of 3200

71
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:29,199
megahertz cl 16 memory we've got a 750

72
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:34,240
watt power supply check this thing out this is like a special card that takes

73
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:38,800
two m.2 slots and you can like mount them to this thing and stick them out of

74
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,880
the board because mini itx is just

75
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:46,479
too small to put as much expansion as they wanted to pack onto it and then of

76
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:48,320
course as i mentioned a Radeon 6800 xt

77
00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:53,840
there's no doubt it's not as small as some previous chronos's or cronie or

78
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:57,039
whatever but if you know that you're going to be dealing with a generation of

79
00:05:55,199 --> 00:06:02,960
hardware that can have graphics cards that can consume up to 400 watts and

80
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:07,520
cpus that when overclocked can hit 150 200 even 250 watts

81
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,160
i can see why they would have taken this approach and just gone okay you look you

82
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:16,160
know what cooling first then we'll deal with everything else

83
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:24,400
i think the front logo is the power button oh my god this thing is so very RGB i'm

84
00:06:22,479 --> 00:06:28,319
still not ready to jump into games though because there's a feature that i

85
00:06:26,479 --> 00:06:33,360
have been itching to try that is exclusive to systems just like this one

86
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:38,160
for the time being and it requires some BIOS configuration first i'm just going

87
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:44,080
to go into boot and make sure that i have csm disabled so for whatever reason

88
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:47,680
you install your os with csm enabled you're actually going to have to go back

89
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:52,319
completely reinstall your os then i'm going to pop into advanced pci subsystem

90
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:56,639
settings turn on above 4g decoding and ah yes

91
00:06:53,919 --> 00:07:01,840
resize bar support we're going to turn that to auto basically what this feature

92
00:06:59,599 --> 00:07:07,360
does AMD brands it as smart access memory and it's supported on their 5000

93
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:09,840
series cpus with their 6000 series gpus

94
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:16,400
is it allows the CPU to have access to the entire up to 16 gigabytes of video

95
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:20,960
memory all at once for what is supposed to be a significant real world gaming

96
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:26,240
performance improvement now this feature has existed on Linux for years now but

97
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:31,599
it's just making its way to Windows and can give you anywhere from a zero

98
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:33,919
percent to even a five to seven percent

99
00:07:31,599 --> 00:07:39,280
FPS improvement just from allowing the CPU to access more than just a 256

100
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:43,919
megabyte chunk of memory at a time so why don't we start by

101
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:48,639
just checking the AMD drivers to see if there's any indication that smart access

102
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:53,039
memory is on nope there's absolutely nothing in here to indicate that it's

103
00:07:50,479 --> 00:07:58,560
working so apparently the only way to find out is to just benchmark with and

104
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:02,879
without it enabled and see if you notice a difference fortunately

105
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:06,319
we are perfectly well equipped to do just that

106
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:11,440
as i suspected this thing is equipped with a 5950x

107
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:13,520
16 core zen 3 CPU so i'm expecting this

108
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:16,720
gaming performance to be pretty darn sick regardless of smart

109
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:23,919
access memory we're kicking things off with forza horizon 4 running at 4k completely

110
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:27,440
cranked with the one exception being we've got motion blur set to short

111
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:32,880
because quite frankly it looks better HDR's on dynamic optimization is off and

112
00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:37,360
we are ready to freaking benchmark yeah i want to continue

113
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:40,959
we've already got our numbers without smart access memory so now we're gonna

114
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:44,959
see how much of a performance uplift we get man this is a pretty game already

115
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:49,760
and i've only seen the loading screen so far there's no raytraced shadows in this

116
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:53,360
game but that doesn't keep the shadows from looking absolutely

117
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:57,040
sick there's a hot air balloon above us

118
00:08:55,519 --> 00:09:01,839
and the only reason i know is because it's reflected in the rear windshield

119
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:07,440
i haven't seen it dip below 100 frames per second absolutely

120
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:10,399
maxed out so at night you can actually

121
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:13,040
see the shadows of the headlights get affected by the other cars and

122
00:09:11,839 --> 00:09:16,720
everything look at that look at that ah

123
00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:23,040
how'd we do compared to your previous numbers

124
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:25,120
let's see that's uh 12 FPS more not bad

125
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:28,000
oh wow that's like almost a 10 improvement

126
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:35,040
yeah and the minimum's 10 FPS more

127
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:36,880
which is a 10 improvement yeah

128
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:42,000
sun and it's not even loud

129
00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:45,440
all AMD is starting to look like a thing hey

130
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:50,080
yeah of course performance and noise are only part of the picture we want to know

131
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:57,200
what the thermals are like so if we all tab out of our game we can see

132
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:59,440
GPU's running at 97 degrees but

133
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:04,080
don't get too scared off by this because what's happening here is you're looking

134
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:07,600
at the absolute hottest part of the die that's the t-junction and you won't

135
00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:14,720
experience any thermal throttling until you hit about 110 degrees so if we look in hardware

136
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:19,279
info we actually see the average temperature of the die which is more

137
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:22,399
like what we'd expect in the 80 to 83

138
00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:24,720
degree range what this fineness of

139
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:28,959
temperature measuring does for AMD is it allows them to push the card as hard as

140
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:32,880
they can without risking damage because there's a hotspot somewhere that they

141
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:37,920
weren't able to measure in borderlands 3 we've got everything cranked to ultra

142
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:42,320
we're running at 4k we've got HDR enabled and

143
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:46,959
wow it's almost like too good this art style

144
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:51,519
doesn't lend itself to absolutely perfect

145
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:53,680
crisp rendering in this way

146
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:56,880
like like it almost looks like wrong

147
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:02,000
yeah i actually thought it looked weird too i like the ps2 look more yeah that

148
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,800
is so funny and still managing 60 FPS

149
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:11,279
uh 64.25 and frame time millisecond average

150
00:11:08,959 --> 00:11:16,320
is 15.56 how'd we do do we beat it

151
00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:22,880
smart access memory for the win by 2.25 frames 2.25 FPS okay that's not

152
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:28,240
much but that's three percent if someone was like okay come on come on

153
00:11:25,279 --> 00:11:32,079
over here come on over here i got i got three extra percent FPS in here you want

154
00:11:30,079 --> 00:11:35,360
it you want it boy you'd take it yeah

155
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:40,160
i would let's look at the minimums as well 54.59

156
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:42,959
is our one percentile FPS so that's

157
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:48,480
three and a tiny bit FPS more wow

158
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:53,120
so that's another like six percent improvement yeah not

159
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:57,200
bad we've got uh we've got an FPS emergency going on they're testing the

160
00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:01,839
fire alarm doesn't matter the point is we averaged 104 and our 95th percentile

161
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:05,839
was 82. that's the same that's the same okay so

162
00:12:04,399 --> 00:12:10,399
do i still have borderlands running in the background

163
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:13,920
nope this system just straight up don't care if you got another game running in

164
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:17,440
the background i guess that's probably why AMD doesn't mention shadow of the

165
00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:23,440
tomb raider in their literature dirt 5 they do though so let's go ahead

166
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:25,040
and run this puppy cranked out man forza

167
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:30,240
looks so much better than this game

168
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:34,560
like to be clear this is fine it's good it's pretty but like this is not good

169
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:37,600
lighting yeah but look at these like window reflections and stuff like it's

170
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:42,079
just way less exciting

171
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:47,440
very small improvement for average FPS but our one percent lows are

172
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:51,120
what was it 72 before yep okay so that's another four to five percent improvement

173
00:12:49,839 --> 00:12:55,680
i'll take it red dead redemption 2 wasn't on the list

174
00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:59,040
of games to benchmark from origin pc and actually we didn't run it without smart

175
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:03,200
access memory i just want to see what this puppy can do so i've got it cranked

176
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:06,440
to absolutely the maximum you know what the best part of this is running at 60

177
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:12,959
plus FPS absolutely cranked

178
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:15,920
and this thing is barely making a peep

179
00:13:12,959 --> 00:13:18,639
it's definitely kicking off heat that's happening

180
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,560
but sound just a touch of GPU coil one that you

181
00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:28,399
gotta get pretty close very impressive for

182
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:31,120
an all red gaming pc wow those horse

183
00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:35,200
motion captures are pretty good hold on let's go somewhere there's not snow

184
00:13:32,639 --> 00:13:38,079
let's see if the animations change look at that see the horse stops high

185
00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:44,000
stepping and starts just stepping normally once you get onto the cobblestone here

186
00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:48,240
that's cool the chronos is optimized first and foremost for gaming with parts

187
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:51,839
that were chosen specifically for their gaming grunt you can also customize the

188
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:55,760
heck out of these machines not just the core components but even custom paint as

189
00:13:53,839 --> 00:14:00,240
well and each purchase includes origins 24 7 365 technical support if you need

190
00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:04,959
it and you can check it out at the link in the video description so i hope you

191
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:09,680
guys enjoyed it thanks to origen for sponsoring this video we will see you

192
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:14,240
next time if you guys want to check out another sweet origin pc we did a well

193
00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:19,519
you could say this build was ahead of its time a showcase of a cyberpunk

194
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:25,079
themed one that they built and sent over quite a while ago when they were

195
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,079
expecting the game to come soon
