1
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:15,400
want to see something funny I bet if I go like this you can see crazy Russian

2
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:20,359
so he wanted me to say that this is085

3
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:22,000
gigz which it is this is the EVGA GTX

4
00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:30,160
580 FTW Hydro copper 2 so it is for the win

5
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:35,280
which means that it is an evga's highest tier of

6
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:38,120
overclocked Highly bined chips okay so

7
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:45,360
it's a For the Win It Is hydro which means that it uses liquid cooling it is

8
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:50,320
copper which should be fairly self-explanatory and it is

9
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,199
two so it must be the second one so the first thing we see on the front of the

10
00:00:51,559 --> 00:00:56,600
box is that EVGA is the number one seller of NVIDIA based products in the

11
00:00:54,879 --> 00:01:01,719
US they're very proud of that and so they should be we have 3D Vision

12
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:07,600
surround support fys X direct 11 SLI Cuda a bunch of stuff that's not on here

13
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:10,479
um even three-way and four-way SLI is

14
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,880
supported by this particular card let's see what evj has to say for themselves

15
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:18,159
on the back it does support their Precision Tool for overclocking as well

16
00:01:15,759 --> 00:01:22,600
as their free OC Scanner so this Precision in particular is a very very

17
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:27,960
useful little uh little feature we have full support for 3D Vision including 3D

18
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:31,240
Vision surround okay so I did mention that before I didn't think I did but

19
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:37,200
actually I had already all right let's open this up and oh we've got some seals

20
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:40,119
to break here that is something that I

21
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:44,040
do like to do oh hold on just got that running in the

22
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:51,479
background there okay let's break the seal and have a look at this very fast

23
00:01:48,479 --> 00:01:53,040
very expensive graphics card so it comes

24
00:01:51,479 --> 00:02:00,360
in a sleeve this is more of a traditional older style video card

25
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,640
box all right then it comes in a box

26
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:06,320
which will contain nothing there maybe this was

27
00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:11,080
here maybe this was also here maybe these are supposed to be here see let's

28
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:15,720
try it like this and see if that works better see what what if I opened it like

29
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:19,440
that okay that doesn't really maybe that's why they didn't put them in there

30
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,959
all right hose clamps and Barbs are provided to properly position the barbs

31
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:27,280
and stop fittings follow the diagram below okay I'll explain that in a

32
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:32,120
minute all right we got one of those posters I've shown you guys this a

33
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:35,000
number of times but I guess uh I'll show

34
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:43,200
you again oh no wait oh no it's the same old one never mind the skull there you

35
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:47,640
go okay so let's just close Mr skull

36
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:50,120
back up here and uh there we are okay

37
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:55,080
the next thing we find inside is a bunch of useless stuff basically that's how to

38
00:02:52,519 --> 00:02:57,920
install a graphics card in a PCIe slot and a driver disc which you shouldn't

39
00:02:56,519 --> 00:03:03,360
use you should download the latest off NVIDIA.com next we have ouri mini HDMI

40
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:08,560
to HDMI cable this is great because it means that if you plug in a fullsize

41
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:11,519
HDMI cable you will not um interfere

42
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:19,159
with the DVI slot that is next over we have a dual six pin PCIe to 8 Pin PCIe

43
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,920
adapter and a dual Molex to six pin PCIe

44
00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:25,120
adapter just in case your power supply does not have native support for this

45
00:03:22,599 --> 00:03:30,799
card we've got a DVI to VGA adapter seriously you should not be using that

46
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:33,319
VGA out on a card of this caliber just

47
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:36,400
buy yourself a new monitor already okay next we have

48
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:43,040
barbs all right so for those of you who aren't familiar with water cooling we

49
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:48,519
got a few different things here we have two 1/2 in stubby fittings Barb fittings

50
00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:53,560
okay so what makes them stubby is that they're shorter than a traditional

51
00:03:50,599 --> 00:04:00,040
longer Barb okay what makes them/ inch is the uh outer diameter of the flange

52
00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:03,480
here on the Barb and they got over rings in here to make sure that they don't

53
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,879
leak these are G1 quarter threaded so they will be compatible with this and

54
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:11,879
most other blocks on the market you've also got 38 barbs so these are for if

55
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:15,079
you are running 38 tubing inside your water cooling loop I actually use 38

56
00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:19,239
tubing so these are the ones that I would use in theory but I would probably

57
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:23,280
upgrade them to compressions instead of barbs these are stop fittings so stop

58
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:26,400
fittings go everywhere where you don't put a Barb so let's explain that diagram

59
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:30,840
real quick here okay so you can either put them in

60
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:34,080
this way so you see the stop fittings there so the water flows in around the

61
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:39,000
loop blah blah blah blah blah and then comes out here or you can go this way so

62
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:42,560
it's in from the top and then go comes out this way so basically the stop

63
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,800
fittings have to always go opposite wherever you put a Barb so that it

64
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:50,600
doesn't just flow straight through without passing through the block to

65
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:58,080
cool the GPU and the RAM and everything because this is a full cover

66
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,199
block ways about oh wow that's heavy

67
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:06,360
they weren't kidding when they said it was made of copper so full cover blocks cool not

68
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:13,400
only the GPU itself which used to be how we did video card water cooling but also

69
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:16,080
the memory power delivery all of that

70
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:20,560
good stuff full cover blocks are pretty much the

71
00:05:18,039 --> 00:05:26,720
shizel I'm a big fan of full cover blocks and I do run one in my own system

72
00:05:24,039 --> 00:05:30,680
at home I actually did a video where I showed you guys how to install a full

73
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:35,720
cover block it's a bit of a process so there is definitely something to be said

74
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:38,840
for buying a card like this from EVGA

75
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:41,919
which is bin higher than most GTX 580s

76
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:44,199
and also comes equipped with a water

77
00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:47,280
block right out of the box which means you don't have to install it you don't

78
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:50,880
have to worry about any complications with your warranty from installing it

79
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:55,319
not to say EVGA won't warranty you if you install a different card but you

80
00:05:53,880 --> 00:06:01,080
know if you break it and it's your own fault they certainly won't be able to help you right so uh here we go we've

81
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:05,800
got a nickel plated copper base with more plastic on it there we

82
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:10,560
are this is made by swifttech you can see here powered by swifttech it has a

83
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:14,840
delin top now delin has the advantage of being more durable than acrylic so

84
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:20,280
acrylic and delin are the two main materials that you see used for the tops

85
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,960
of blocks it is less liable to crack

86
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:26,759
where you insert the Barb so here I'm going to throw a 38 inch Barb in there

87
00:06:26,919 --> 00:06:31,840
okay um oh one of other things I've note

88
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:35,280
about this card is it is single slot check that out so there's your mini HDMI

89
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:41,160
there's your DVI there's your DVI and there's your custom single slot uh PCI

90
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:44,479
bracket so that is a pretty awesome thing which means you could in theory I

91
00:06:42,919 --> 00:06:50,160
mean if you were doing like a folding rig install as many as what like what's

92
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:57,520
the highest number six would be like a classified sr2 6 PCIe 16x slots seven

93
00:06:54,840 --> 00:07:01,120
seven ASUS WS Evolution okay you can install a whole lot of these in one

94
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:04,280
system at time should you so desire although you'd have to get some custom

95
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:07,479
fittings these ones wouldn't quite work if you were putting cards right next to

96
00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:12,039
each other uh let's have a look at the back so it does include evga's back

97
00:07:09,919 --> 00:07:17,400
plate for the GTX 580 this is not a custom PCB 580 it's just a very highly

98
00:07:14,919 --> 00:07:21,240
bended one that has a custom cooler and a custom back plate on it so you can see

99
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:25,440
we've got little holes for ventilation here and it's also making contact

100
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:29,280
probably with some of the key components on the back that do need to be cooled or

101
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:33,560
maybe it's just for looks even making cont with

102
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:38,080
anything maybe it this just for looks I actually don't know interesting okay

103
00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:43,160
we've got two SLI fingers with support for two-way three-way and four-way

104
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:49,919
SLI on the bottom we find our standard PCIe 16x slot interface and moving over

105
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:56,560
back to the front we can just kind of look at the card some more cuz it's a

106
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:59,879
very very slick slim sexy looking card

107
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,879
looks great

108
00:07:59,919 --> 00:08:06,360
that's pretty much all there is to it it's like awesome oh yeah 8 Pin and six

109
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:12,400
pin PCIe power connectors are needed for this particular board and uh just so you

110
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:16,159
guys know you will need water cooling you will need a water cooling setup in

111
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:19,400
order to run this card you can't just buy this if you don't already have

112
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:26,479
liquid cooling so you're going to want a pump a radiator a reservoir and some

113
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:28,879
fans in order to make this

114
00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:34,599
function I think that's pretty much it thank you for check out my unboxing of

115
00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:36,240
the GTX 580 FTW hydrocopper 2 don't

116
00:08:34,599 --> 00:08:40,479
forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other

117
00:08:38,599 --> 00:08:45,200
computer videos and also when you are fastening your barbs don't overdo it

118
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:48,519
they should be kind of once it starts to get snug turn it maybe another quarter

119
00:08:46,839 --> 00:08:57,760
to half of a turn and that is pretty much it you don't want to rip the threads out just my little water cooling

120
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:57,760
tip for you guys for the day 85 gz
