00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:06,279
PAX East 2017 unfortunately for the

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:10,800
attendees is over and with it comes the end of the Intel extreme rig challenge

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:16,520
all of the contestants have completed their seventh generation core i7

4
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:18,279
processor and 600p SSD powered computers

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:22,680
if you haven't seen the leadup videos for this project you can start with

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:28,080
episode one right up here but now we have the final Awards and spoils the

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:35,920
seven teams that made it out of 12 include Ava direct or PC iby power main

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:38,360
gear cyber power PC zyx and

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:44,559
NC and they were competing in four different categories most creative best

10
00:00:41,559 --> 00:00:46,920
engineered highest performance and most

11
00:00:44,559 --> 00:00:51,360
appeasing to you also known as Community Choice the first category to be decided

12
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:58,000
was most creative and the top three system builders in this category were

13
00:00:53,359 --> 00:01:00,239
zyx NC PC and cyber power cyber power

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:04,720
went for a really unique look and they accomplished this by utilizing copper

15
00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:10,159
piping and using a deframe chassis from inwind which is really rare and helped

16
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:14,560
make a pipe frame style aesthetic they also use copper and orange as their main

17
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:18,920
colors which are not very common and really help them Stand Out zidax went

18
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:23,079
with this really cool looking monochrome water cooling setup with one Loop being

19
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:27,560
set up with black liquid and another loop being set up with white liquid and

20
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:33,399
then contrasted that monochrome with possibly the most RGB enabled fan hands

21
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:35,240
I have ever seen in a single case and

22
00:01:33,399 --> 00:01:39,640
three individual lighting controllers that were accessible from outside of the

23
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:45,880
case to control all of those freaking fans NC inspired by ASUS's Gladius and

24
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:50,840
spatha mice went with an impeccably detailed engraving throughout their

25
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:53,560
entire system and fully utiliz thermales

26
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:58,600
RGB water cooling fittings with white pastel liquid cooling to great effect

27
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:03,360
and it really made their system pop when the dust was set and all the votes were

28
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:10,679
finally cast The Grand winner of the most creative category was cyber power

29
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:13,000
PC with zidax and NC tying for second

30
00:02:10,679 --> 00:02:20,120
next up was best engineered and the top three systems voted in by the judges

31
00:02:15,239 --> 00:02:22,160
were ncx zidax and Ava direct now we

32
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:28,200
just took a look at zida and NCI so we're going to go directly to Ava direct

33
00:02:25,239 --> 00:02:32,560
and clean and pristine must have been the marching orders at Ava when they

34
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:37,800
were designing this system from the color palette to the aluminium cable

35
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:44,080
Combs chosen just to perfectly manage all of their cables to the water cooling

36
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:46,560
setup in general it comes together in a

37
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:52,959
computer that is just refreshing to look at but in the end when all was said and

38
00:02:49,239 --> 00:02:55,360
done NC took first place with Ava direct

39
00:02:52,959 --> 00:03:00,760
coming in right behind them and zyx pulling a solid third then we come to a

40
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:05,200
category with no judges no Community judges no judge panel this is

41
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:10,959
performance you have to win with a score in this one and the top three systems

42
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:14,519
were Ava direct zidax for a third

43
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:16,720
freaking time and iby power iby power

44
00:03:14,519 --> 00:03:21,200
system was the legendary snow blind which we've actually featured on our

45
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:23,000
Channel twice in the past it features an

46
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:26,840
awesome side panel which is a translucent monitor which you can do

47
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,959
with pretty much whatever you want you can do anything that you would do on a

48
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,200
normal monitor over there but it's recommended that you run a rain meter

49
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:38,599
setup which will show all your system settings which is actually pretty badass

50
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:43,840
inside that side panel you see an extremely white overall aesthetic with

51
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:48,560
very intense LEDs because they have to generate a lot of light and bounce a lot

52
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:54,840
of light around in order to have it come through that translucent side panel but

53
00:03:52,159 --> 00:04:00,560
when the numbers came in for performance Ava direct claimed a strong first place

54
00:03:57,879 --> 00:04:05,519
with zidax and iby Power claiming second and third respectively which leaves us

55
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:11,840
with the grand prize the Community Choice Awards there was

56
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:15,040
12644 votes cast against the 12 original

57
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:19,479
teams that were entered in this contest

58
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:22,160
but above all others was origin PC and I

59
00:04:19,479 --> 00:04:26,040
get it their computer or computers should I say at this point are epic to

60
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:32,360
explain what I mean by that they're running two individual VR ready systems

61
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:34,320
within the same electric blue chassis

62
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:39,600
each system is revealed through its own translucent monitor on its own side

63
00:04:37,039 --> 00:04:43,960
panel talk about using the budget I think origin really went with the two

64
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:48,320
computers for the price of Awesome on this one if you want to play VR games

65
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:53,960
with a friend or spouse at home look no further this computer perfectly fits

66
00:04:50,919 --> 00:04:55,600
that albeit relatively small Niche and

67
00:04:53,960 --> 00:05:00,800
with that the Intel extreme rig challenge of 2017 is concluded thank you

68
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:06,240
to all the system builders for participating win or lose you guys all

69
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:08,160
had spectacular systems thanks to Intel

70
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:12,360
for doing this again and letting me be a part of it and last but not least at all

71
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:16,080
thanks to you guys for watching and commenting and voting let me know in the

72
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:20,520
comments down below if you'd be interested in seeing Intel do this again

73
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,360
next year and with that I'll see you guys next time
