Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western
Digital hey guys we're here at the zman suite checking out the reserator 3 Max
duel I know some of you will remember the reserator 3 max review I had from a
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
later on in a later date it has a few definitely redeeming features first and
foremost there's removable fans and the cable management for those fans is
actually quite cool it runs through the middle of each of the 120 mm sides and
gets cable managed behind it in a little space nice little pocket it's got there
which is actually pretty neat and then it also has center mounted tubes
something You' seen in a lot of builds is people will turn their radiator around and then the tubing has to go
over their RAM or if it's on the other side there's way too much tubing or
whatever happens there so it's actually kind of cool because you don't have to cross way over top of the motherboard
which is nice for features other than that it's fairly standard Fair other
than the shrouds on the fans and it has the same mounting mechanism that it had
in the zman reserator 3 Max originally
next up we have the z15 or z15 depending on where you're from this one has a few
cool features so the control panel on the top uh aside from standard fair
being us two USB 3.0 2 USB 2.0 a hard
drive LED reset button power button mic and headphone ports it also has some
interesting fan control so you have your normal not too surprising dials for
front rear and top but one cool thing about these is you can completely turn
the fans off a lot of them you just turn them down these ones you can completely
turn them off which is quite cool and the coolest part is right now I have it
in what I like to call and one of the other guys here likes to call Lamborghini mode where it's all flared
up and looks super awesome and is a little bit flarey and you can turn it
down so if if you're gaming you can have it in this mode and if your mom comes
and uses the computer and goes on Facebook she can have her nice calm sedan so she can calm down and have a
cool day and it's fine and everything's down it's not too super flare it's not
out there it's okay one of the other cool things too though is that you can
have it on auto based on temperature settings so 35° or 45° both Celsius now
if it gets above either one of those thresholds it will then open the top go
into Lamborghini mode which is not the name for it but it'll go into Lamborghini mode and just it's cool how
that's Auto and it's cool how that works just so seamlessly so if you had it on
auto and your mom went on Facebook it would automatically go into sedan mode
which is also not the name for it and then if you decide to start gaming it
would automatically go up if the system got that hot and finally we have the
zalar the front camera on the zbar is 720p the rear camera on the zbar is 480p
and that's pretty good resolution but they have a new one coming up at some
point in time which is going to have a front camera of 1080p which will be
really nice and a rear camera of we're not entirely sure yet it has quite a few
features that is really nice for evidence building first off is the rear
camera which I've already stated but then you can also plug in a GPS which
will state how fast you're going and where you were on a Google map so if you're reviewing the information from
the zbar and trying to present it to someone say you could see see the front
camera the rear camera your speed and your GPS location which is absolutely
awesome the camera also has a gyro in it so it can figure out if there was a
collision so say you're parked you're not in your car it's not currently
recording and someone Rams into you it will take some pictures and start
recording so that you can figure out who that was so even if you're not in the
car you can still build evidence if there was an accident thank you for watching our zman content if you want to
