WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.080
origin pc sponsored this video and boy

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.120
am i ever excited because inside this crate

00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:15.040
is not just a tiny gaming pc

00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:16.880
but a tiny all AMD gaming pc that is

00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:22.880
among the most powerful gaming rigs on the frickin planet

00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:27.240
so let's pop this puppy open oh no i stripped it

00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:42.160
the origin chronos

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:46.399
good quality packing material in addition to the flippin crate

00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:54.320
it's small that's what she said

00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:57.800
and she said it in exactly that tone she was excited

00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:06.000
oops yeah you're right Yvonne's gonna get mad was that me

00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:10.000
that couldn't have been me for accessories you've got a usb stick

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

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:18.080
to need that extra power cables for the power supply

00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:23.920
those nice individually sleeved ones big fan of those cable tie SATA cables extra

00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:28.640
mounting hardware for the CPU cooler as well as a wireless antenna but we're

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:31.119
going full wired today ladies and gentlemen

00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:40.720
this looks like a custom case design

00:01:37.759 --> 00:01:44.560
i don't think i've ever seen even a chassis that this would have been

00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:50.880
derived from very interesting

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:54.880
it's not as small as previous kronos designs that i've seen

00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:59.360
but i'm expecting the cooling on this thing to even meet the gamer's nexus

00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:03.360
standard of approval i mean what's it made of it's made of

00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:09.599
plastic with vents which he wouldn't like but mesh

00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:13.920
mesh and more mash followed by

00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:16.480
a touch of mesh not bad

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

00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:26.160
these kinds of fine meshes you can see through them anyway and then they can

00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:30.319
also breathe that's good stuff

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

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

00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:43.360
postcode in the back so it's definitely an ASUS rog motherboard in there now

00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:45.920
that's weird is that an 80 millimeter fan

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

00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:55.680
6800 xt graphics card is down here in the

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

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

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:10.560
missing here is origins optional metallic paint job would have been

00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:15.760
pretty sick in their pink color but at 250 bucks i guess they wanted to send

00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:19.040
like a balls to the wall config but

00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:20.879
without anything unnecessary for maximum

00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:25.200
gaming performance while i would think most people's first instinct would be to

00:03:23.519 --> 00:03:29.280
immediately fire this thing up and play games on it

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:33.840
i actually really want to know how this case is laid out internally so let's

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.840
crack it open

00:03:34.799 --> 00:03:40.400
back here we've got the rear of our motherboard the intake for our power

00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:45.120
supply which has ample access to nice fresh air through the mesh we've got our

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

00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:54.400
expander dude adama jigs for led strips so i'm expecting to find RGB strips but

00:03:52.239 --> 00:03:58.560
surprisingly there's nothing here on the back side which would have actually

00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:02.640
looked really good especially with a strip along the top with that mesh side

00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:07.360
panel oh maybe it's just on the front yeah maybe they went full full frontal

00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:10.640
you know with their lighting very interesting

00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:15.280
i see some stuff so they've tucked all the cables kind of

00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:19.919
up here where the modular interface for the power supply is so you can't really

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:24.000
see them under this mount for what looks like a 240 millimeter radiator you can

00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:28.400
see our graphics card is just plugged directly into the motherboard and then

00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:32.880
it looks like there's a little usb like internal usb header hub

00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:37.600
that they've double sided taped over on the bottom there what's really cool

00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:42.639
about this case is that look at this every panel comes off

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:47.680
so you have totally unrestricted access to the internal components

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:52.320
that is as long as you move the mount for the aio radiator

00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:58.639
it really is a thing to behold when a system integrator designs a case

00:04:54.960 --> 00:05:00.639
because everything about it is like

00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:06.479
man this is so easy to work in like clearly

00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:08.479
someone at origin pc is like look i got

00:05:06.479 --> 00:05:13.120
sausage fingers i need to be able to work on the computers we sell

00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:17.280
boom there's your solution the motherboard alone costs as much as a

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

00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:26.639
think it's a 5950x 32 gigs of 3200

00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:29.199
megahertz cl 16 memory we've got a 750

00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:34.240
watt power supply check this thing out this is like a special card that takes

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

00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:40.880
the board because mini itx is just

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

00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:48.320
course as i mentioned a Radeon 6800 xt

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

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:57.039
whatever but if you know that you're going to be dealing with a generation of

00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:02.960
hardware that can have graphics cards that can consume up to 400 watts and

00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:07.520
cpus that when overclocked can hit 150 200 even 250 watts

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

00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:16.160
know what cooling first then we'll deal with everything else

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

00:06:22.479 --> 00:06:28.319
still not ready to jump into games though because there's a feature that i

00:06:26.479 --> 00:06:33.360
have been itching to try that is exclusive to systems just like this one

00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:38.160
for the time being and it requires some BIOS configuration first i'm just going

00:06:35.840 --> 00:06:44.080
to go into boot and make sure that i have csm disabled so for whatever reason

00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:47.680
you install your os with csm enabled you're actually going to have to go back

00:06:45.280 --> 00:06:52.319
completely reinstall your os then i'm going to pop into advanced pci subsystem

00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:56.639
settings turn on above 4g decoding and ah yes

00:06:53.919 --> 00:07:01.840
resize bar support we're going to turn that to auto basically what this feature

00:06:59.599 --> 00:07:07.360
does AMD brands it as smart access memory and it's supported on their 5000

00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:09.840
series cpus with their 6000 series gpus

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

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:20.960
memory all at once for what is supposed to be a significant real world gaming

00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:26.240
performance improvement now this feature has existed on Linux for years now but

00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:31.599
it's just making its way to Windows and can give you anywhere from a zero

00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:33.919
percent to even a five to seven percent

00:07:31.599 --> 00:07:39.280
FPS improvement just from allowing the CPU to access more than just a 256

00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:43.919
megabyte chunk of memory at a time so why don't we start by

00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:48.639
just checking the AMD drivers to see if there's any indication that smart access

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:53.039
memory is on nope there's absolutely nothing in here to indicate that it's

00:07:50.479 --> 00:07:58.560
working so apparently the only way to find out is to just benchmark with and

00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:02.879
without it enabled and see if you notice a difference fortunately

00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:06.319
we are perfectly well equipped to do just that

00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:11.440
as i suspected this thing is equipped with a 5950x

00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:13.520
16 core zen 3 CPU so i'm expecting this

00:08:11.440 --> 00:08:16.720
gaming performance to be pretty darn sick regardless of smart

00:08:15.440 --> 00:08:23.919
access memory we're kicking things off with forza horizon 4 running at 4k completely

00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:27.440
cranked with the one exception being we've got motion blur set to short

00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:32.880
because quite frankly it looks better HDR's on dynamic optimization is off and

00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:37.360
we are ready to freaking benchmark yeah i want to continue

00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:40.959
we've already got our numbers without smart access memory so now we're gonna

00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:44.959
see how much of a performance uplift we get man this is a pretty game already

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

00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:53.360
game but that doesn't keep the shadows from looking absolutely

00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:57.040
sick there's a hot air balloon above us

00:08:55.519 --> 00:09:01.839
and the only reason i know is because it's reflected in the rear windshield

00:08:59.839 --> 00:09:07.440
i haven't seen it dip below 100 frames per second absolutely

00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:10.399
maxed out so at night you can actually

00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:13.040
see the shadows of the headlights get affected by the other cars and

00:09:11.839 --> 00:09:16.720
everything look at that look at that ah

00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:23.040
how'd we do compared to your previous numbers

00:09:18.640 --> 00:09:25.120
let's see that's uh 12 FPS more not bad

00:09:23.040 --> 00:09:28.000
oh wow that's like almost a 10 improvement

00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:35.040
yeah and the minimum's 10 FPS more

00:09:30.800 --> 00:09:36.880
which is a 10 improvement yeah

00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:42.000
sun and it's not even loud

00:09:39.839 --> 00:09:45.440
all AMD is starting to look like a thing hey

00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:50.080
yeah of course performance and noise are only part of the picture we want to know

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

00:09:53.040 --> 00:09:59.440
GPU's running at 97 degrees but

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

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

00:10:05.839 --> 00:10:14.720
experience any thermal throttling until you hit about 110 degrees so if we look in hardware

00:10:12.160 --> 00:10:19.279
info we actually see the average temperature of the die which is more

00:10:16.160 --> 00:10:22.399
like what we'd expect in the 80 to 83

00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:24.720
degree range what this fineness of

00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:28.959
temperature measuring does for AMD is it allows them to push the card as hard as

00:10:26.560 --> 00:10:32.880
they can without risking damage because there's a hotspot somewhere that they

00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:37.920
weren't able to measure in borderlands 3 we've got everything cranked to ultra

00:10:35.680 --> 00:10:42.320
we're running at 4k we've got HDR enabled and

00:10:40.640 --> 00:10:46.959
wow it's almost like too good this art style

00:10:44.800 --> 00:10:51.519
doesn't lend itself to absolutely perfect

00:10:48.160 --> 00:10:53.680
crisp rendering in this way

00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:56.880
like like it almost looks like wrong

00:10:55.600 --> 00:11:02.000
yeah i actually thought it looked weird too i like the ps2 look more yeah that

00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:05.800
is so funny and still managing 60 FPS

00:11:05.040 --> 00:11:11.279
uh 64.25 and frame time millisecond average

00:11:08.959 --> 00:11:16.320
is 15.56 how'd we do do we beat it

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

00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:28.240
much but that's three percent if someone was like okay come on come on

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

00:11:30.079 --> 00:11:35.360
it you want it boy you'd take it yeah

00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:40.160
i would let's look at the minimums as well 54.59

00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:42.959
is our one percentile FPS so that's

00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:48.480
three and a tiny bit FPS more wow

00:11:46.560 --> 00:11:53.120
so that's another like six percent improvement yeah not

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

00:11:55.200 --> 00:12:01.839
fire alarm doesn't matter the point is we averaged 104 and our 95th percentile

00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:05.839
was 82. that's the same that's the same okay so

00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:10.399
do i still have borderlands running in the background

00:12:07.920 --> 00:12:13.920
nope this system just straight up don't care if you got another game running in

00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:17.440
the background i guess that's probably why AMD doesn't mention shadow of the

00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:23.440
tomb raider in their literature dirt 5 they do though so let's go ahead

00:12:19.920 --> 00:12:25.040
and run this puppy cranked out man forza

00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:30.240
looks so much better than this game

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

00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:37.600
lighting yeah but look at these like window reflections and stuff like it's

00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:42.079
just way less exciting

00:12:39.760 --> 00:12:47.440
very small improvement for average FPS but our one percent lows are

00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:51.120
what was it 72 before yep okay so that's another four to five percent improvement

00:12:49.839 --> 00:12:55.680
i'll take it red dead redemption 2 wasn't on the list

00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:59.040
of games to benchmark from origin pc and actually we didn't run it without smart

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

00:13:01.040 --> 00:13:06.440
to absolutely the maximum you know what the best part of this is running at 60

00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:12.959
plus FPS absolutely cranked

00:13:08.800 --> 00:13:15.920
and this thing is barely making a peep

00:13:12.959 --> 00:13:18.639
it's definitely kicking off heat that's happening

00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:22.560
but sound just a touch of GPU coil one that you

00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:28.399
gotta get pretty close very impressive for

00:13:24.560 --> 00:13:31.120
