00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:11,559
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western

00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,879
Digital hey guys we're here at the zman suite checking out the reserator 3 Max

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:18,039
duel I know some of you will remember the reserator 3 max review I had from a

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:23,240
while ago where it was thrown under the bus a little bit but we'll have to see how this one performs in the office

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:27,240
later on in a later date it has a few definitely redeeming features first and

7
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:30,359
foremost there's removable fans and the cable management for those fans is

8
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:35,000
actually quite cool it runs through the middle of each of the 120 mm sides and

9
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:38,879
gets cable managed behind it in a little space nice little pocket it's got there

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:42,320
which is actually pretty neat and then it also has center mounted tubes

11
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:46,800
something You' seen in a lot of builds is people will turn their radiator around and then the tubing has to go

12
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:49,680
over their RAM or if it's on the other side there's way too much tubing or

13
00:00:48,199 --> 00:00:54,199
whatever happens there so it's actually kind of cool because you don't have to cross way over top of the motherboard

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:58,239
which is nice for features other than that it's fairly standard Fair other

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:03,120
than the shrouds on the fans and it has the same mounting mechanism that it had

16
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:05,479
in the zman reserator 3 Max originally

17
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:08,799
next up we have the z15 or z15 depending on where you're from this one has a few

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:14,200
cool features so the control panel on the top uh aside from standard fair

19
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:16,280
being us two USB 3.0 2 USB 2.0 a hard

20
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:20,920
drive LED reset button power button mic and headphone ports it also has some

21
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:25,200
interesting fan control so you have your normal not too surprising dials for

22
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:28,320
front rear and top but one cool thing about these is you can completely turn

23
00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:32,000
the fans off a lot of them you just turn them down these ones you can completely

24
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:35,680
turn them off which is quite cool and the coolest part is right now I have it

25
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:41,079
in what I like to call and one of the other guys here likes to call Lamborghini mode where it's all flared

26
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:45,600
up and looks super awesome and is a little bit flarey and you can turn it

27
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:48,399
down so if if you're gaming you can have it in this mode and if your mom comes

28
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:54,040
and uses the computer and goes on Facebook she can have her nice calm sedan so she can calm down and have a

29
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:57,799
cool day and it's fine and everything's down it's not too super flare it's not

30
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:02,000
out there it's okay one of the other cool things too though is that you can

31
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:07,719
have it on auto based on temperature settings so 35° or 45° both Celsius now

32
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:11,879
if it gets above either one of those thresholds it will then open the top go

33
00:02:10,119 --> 00:02:17,760
into Lamborghini mode which is not the name for it but it'll go into Lamborghini mode and just it's cool how

34
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:21,280
that's Auto and it's cool how that works just so seamlessly so if you had it on

35
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,599
auto and your mom went on Facebook it would automatically go into sedan mode

36
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:27,680
which is also not the name for it and then if you decide to start gaming it

37
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:31,280
would automatically go up if the system got that hot and finally we have the

38
00:02:29,239 --> 00:02:36,480
zalar the front camera on the zbar is 720p the rear camera on the zbar is 480p

39
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,440
and that's pretty good resolution but they have a new one coming up at some

40
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,879
point in time which is going to have a front camera of 1080p which will be

41
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:46,080
really nice and a rear camera of we're not entirely sure yet it has quite a few

42
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:49,599
features that is really nice for evidence building first off is the rear

43
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:53,200
camera which I've already stated but then you can also plug in a GPS which

44
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:58,640
will state how fast you're going and where you were on a Google map so if you're reviewing the information from

45
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,800
the zbar and trying to present it to someone say you could see see the front

46
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:07,280
camera the rear camera your speed and your GPS location which is absolutely

47
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:10,400
awesome the camera also has a gyro in it so it can figure out if there was a

48
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:14,080
collision so say you're parked you're not in your car it's not currently

49
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:17,040
recording and someone Rams into you it will take some pictures and start

50
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,799
recording so that you can figure out who that was so even if you're not in the

51
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:24,640
car you can still build evidence if there was an accident thank you for watching our zman content if you want to
