WEBVTT

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

00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:20.359
so he wanted me to say that this is085

00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:22.000
gigz which it is this is the EVGA GTX

00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:30.160
580 FTW Hydro copper 2 so it is for the win

00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:35.280
which means that it is an evga's highest tier of

00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:38.120
overclocked Highly bined chips okay so

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

00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:50.320
copper which should be fairly self-explanatory and it is

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

00:00:51.559 --> 00:00:56.600
box is that EVGA is the number one seller of NVIDIA based products in the

00:00:54.879 --> 00:01:01.719
US they're very proud of that and so they should be we have 3D Vision

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

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:10.479
um even three-way and four-way SLI is

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:13.880
supported by this particular card let's see what evj has to say for themselves

00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:18.159
on the back it does support their Precision Tool for overclocking as well

00:01:15.759 --> 00:01:22.600
as their free OC Scanner so this Precision in particular is a very very

00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:27.960
useful little uh little feature we have full support for 3D Vision including 3D

00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:31.240
Vision surround okay so I did mention that before I didn't think I did but

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

00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:40.119
to break here that is something that I

00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:44.040
do like to do oh hold on just got that running in the

00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:51.479
background there okay let's break the seal and have a look at this very fast

00:01:48.479 --> 00:01:53.040
very expensive graphics card so it comes

00:01:51.479 --> 00:02:00.360
in a sleeve this is more of a traditional older style video card

00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:01.640
box all right then it comes in a box

00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:06.320
which will contain nothing there maybe this was

00:02:04.479 --> 00:02:11.080
here maybe this was also here maybe these are supposed to be here see let's

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

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

00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:22.959
all right hose clamps and Barbs are provided to properly position the barbs

00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:27.280
and stop fittings follow the diagram below okay I'll explain that in a

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:32.120
minute all right we got one of those posters I've shown you guys this a

00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:35.000
number of times but I guess uh I'll show

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

00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:47.640
go okay so let's just close Mr skull

00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:50.120
back up here and uh there we are okay

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

00:02:52.519 --> 00:02:57.920
install a graphics card in a PCIe slot and a driver disc which you shouldn't

00:02:56.519 --> 00:03:03.360
use you should download the latest off NVIDIA.com next we have ouri mini HDMI

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:08.560
to HDMI cable this is great because it means that if you plug in a fullsize

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:11.519
HDMI cable you will not um interfere

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

00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:20.920
adapter and a dual Molex to six pin PCIe

00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:25.120
adapter just in case your power supply does not have native support for this

00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:30.799
card we've got a DVI to VGA adapter seriously you should not be using that

00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:33.319
VGA out on a card of this caliber just

00:03:30.799 --> 00:03:36.400
buy yourself a new monitor already okay next we have

00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:43.040
barbs all right so for those of you who aren't familiar with water cooling we

00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:48.519
got a few different things here we have two 1/2 in stubby fittings Barb fittings

00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:53.560
okay so what makes them stubby is that they're shorter than a traditional

00:03:50.599 --> 00:04:00.040
longer Barb okay what makes them/ inch is the uh outer diameter of the flange

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

00:04:01.480 --> 00:04:06.879
leak these are G1 quarter threaded so they will be compatible with this and

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

00:04:09.640 --> 00:04:15.079
you are running 38 tubing inside your water cooling loop I actually use 38

00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:19.239
tubing so these are the ones that I would use in theory but I would probably

00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:23.280
upgrade them to compressions instead of barbs these are stop fittings so stop

00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:26.400
fittings go everywhere where you don't put a Barb so let's explain that diagram

00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:30.840
real quick here okay so you can either put them in

00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:34.080
this way so you see the stop fittings there so the water flows in around the

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

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

00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:45.800
fittings have to always go opposite wherever you put a Barb so that it

00:04:43.960 --> 00:04:50.600
doesn't just flow straight through without passing through the block to

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:58.080
cool the GPU and the RAM and everything because this is a full cover

00:04:54.320 --> 00:04:59.199
block ways about oh wow that's heavy

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

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

00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:16.080
the memory power delivery all of that

00:05:13.400 --> 00:05:20.560
good stuff full cover blocks are pretty much the

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

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

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

00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:38.840
for buying a card like this from EVGA

00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:41.919
which is bin higher than most GTX 580s

00:05:38.840 --> 00:05:44.199
and also comes equipped with a water

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

00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:50.880
have to worry about any complications with your warranty from installing it

00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:55.319
not to say EVGA won't warranty you if you install a different card but you

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

00:05:58.400 --> 00:06:05.800
got a nickel plated copper base with more plastic on it there we

00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:10.560
are this is made by swifttech you can see here powered by swifttech it has a

00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:14.840
delin top now delin has the advantage of being more durable than acrylic so

00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:20.280
acrylic and delin are the two main materials that you see used for the tops

00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:21.960
of blocks it is less liable to crack

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

00:06:26.919 --> 00:06:31.840
okay um oh one of other things I've note

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

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

00:06:38.520 --> 00:06:44.479
bracket so that is a pretty awesome thing which means you could in theory I

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

00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:57.520
the highest number six would be like a classified sr2 6 PCIe 16x slots seven

00:06:54.840 --> 00:07:01.120
seven ASUS WS Evolution okay you can install a whole lot of these in one

00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:04.280
system at time should you so desire although you'd have to get some custom

00:07:02.440 --> 00:07:07.479
fittings these ones wouldn't quite work if you were putting cards right next to

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

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

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

00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:25.440
we've got little holes for ventilation here and it's also making contact

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

00:07:27.400 --> 00:07:33.560
maybe it's just for looks even making cont with

00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:38.080
anything maybe it this just for looks I actually don't know interesting okay

00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:43.160
we've got two SLI fingers with support for two-way three-way and four-way

00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:49.919
SLI on the bottom we find our standard PCIe 16x slot interface and moving over

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

00:07:51.440 --> 00:07:59.879
very very slick slim sexy looking card

00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.879
looks great

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

00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:12.400
pin PCIe power connectors are needed for this particular board and uh just so you

00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:16.159
guys know you will need water cooling you will need a water cooling setup in

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

00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:26.479
liquid cooling so you're going to want a pump a radiator a reservoir and some

00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:28.879
fans in order to make this

00:08:26.479 --> 00:08:34.599
function I think that's pretty much it thank you for check out my unboxing of

00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:36.240
the GTX 580 FTW hydrocopper 2 don't

00:08:34.599 --> 00:08:40.479
forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other

00:08:38.599 --> 00:08:45.200
computer videos and also when you are fastening your barbs don't overdo it

00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:48.519
they should be kind of once it starts to get snug turn it maybe another quarter

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

00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:57.760
tip for you guys for the day 85 gz
