from Gigabyte to be an 00:00:53.680 --> 00:01:03.039 interesting one starting of course with the PC DIY kit right here unlike a 00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:04.799 normal be bones it only includes a case 00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:10.400 and a motherboard pre-installed in the Box no cooler and no power supply and 00:01:08.360 --> 00:01:16.119 also unlike a normal Bare Bones it includes one of the components that most 00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:21.680 Gamers really prefer to choose for themselves rather than being locked into 00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:24.640 one option A GPU that means you can have 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:29.960 any GPU you want as long as it's this RTX 3070 that's included in the box but 00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:34.680 what's special about it this right here here the 8 Pin and six pin PCI Express 00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:39.960 power connectors are actually on the bottom of the card where the PCI E slot 00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:44.399 is now under normal circumstances these would be impossible to get at but in 00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:49.240 this particular chassis which is specifically designed with this GPU in 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:53.479 mind there's actually a cut out here to plug in the power which raises another 00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:59.320 question where the devil are all the other power connectors on 00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:05.039 here there they are not only are our power connector on the back of the board 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:07.280 but even our front USB our fans our 00:02:05.039 --> 00:02:12.200 front like power switch and reset switch and all that stuff everything is 00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:17.120 actually on the back of this motherboard it's such a cool and honestly obvious 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:22.560 idea that it raises the question why didn't anybody do this before you see 00:02:19.239 --> 00:02:25.319 main gear actually patented this concept 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:31.560 and pitched it to multiple PC component manufacturers back in 2011 including 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:33.560 Gigabyte so when they saw Gigabyte 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:36.560 release ask you how you are and you just have to say that you're fine so when 00:02:34.959 --> 00:02:40.680 they saw the project stealth kit announced with them conveniently cut out 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:45.239 of the equation they were understandably mythed thankfully it seems as though the 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:49.000 two have patched up their differences since the kid is available either 00:02:46.760 --> 00:02:52.200 Standalone from Gigabyte or as a pre-built from main gear and I'm really 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:56.159 stoked on that because it means hopefully we can see more of this kind 00:02:54.120 --> 00:03:00.239 of innovation I mean who doesn't like tidier builds with better air flow I 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:03.080 think the people want to see the board while I'm pulling this out I realized I 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:07.080 don't actually have to speculate about what happened between Gigabyte and main 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:11.879 gear yo Wallace how you doing I got my hands on a project stealth and it seems 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.640 to me that you guys kind of like patented this concept do you have any 00:03:13.720 --> 00:03:18.640 comments on that at all there's a lot of challenges in building a motherboard 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:22.840 whenever the connector on the opposite side like that yeah but they figured it 00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:27.879 out and I'm just really happy that able to Mar basically everything's good it's 00:03:26.200 --> 00:03:30.799 all good man all right well I'm glad to hear that there was some conversations 00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:33.879 that took place a couple months ago but we're excited to be working with them on 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:37.280 so well there you have it Gigabyte licensed the patent and everything is 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:40.239 good to go glad to hear it they thought I was going to build a computer but 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:46.959 actually I'm going to take apart a computer today oh yeah there we go wow 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:50.840 this just makes my brain hurt I mean it it's good that they went and they moved 00:03:48.519 --> 00:03:54.560 everything to the back you know even SOS clear jumper and the battery here so you 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:58.200 don't need to access the front of the board after you built the computer which 00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:02.840 is kind of crazy but it must have involved some pretty unique PCB layout 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:07.159 changes one question with respect to development is did they build this board 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:11.280 from scratch or did they kind of repurpose an existing design the closest 00:04:09.480 --> 00:04:18.120 PL found in a couple of minutes was the z690 Aeros Elite ax there are some 00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:20.959 differences this is only a ddr4 board 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:25.199 and this one's ddr5 which is our next kind of funny and interesting story here 00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:29.960 Gigabyte sent over all the parts for us to do this build and they included some 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:34.000 ddr4 memor so we're going to be popping that out for something else now I kind 00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:38.280 of want to pull off the shield and just see what's under it it's like a Twilight 00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:41.800 Zone thing or something you know or I guess the more upto-date reference would 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:48.840 be like a stranger things there you have it everything's just through holes but 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:51.160 they go the opposite way man from I mean 00:04:48.840 --> 00:04:55.479 I guess they already do rearm mounted some stuff you'll see rearm mounted m.2 00:04:53.680 --> 00:05:00.479 slots for example so they wouldn't have had to completely retool a manufacturing 00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:04.800 line in order to run it through one way and then run it through the other way 00:05:02.479 --> 00:05:08.400 but I'd still imagine there was some it took some kaj jiggering to do this it's 00:05:06.919 --> 00:05:11.440 possible this is totally normal and I'm only noticing because I'm looking so 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:17.120 closely at the construction of this board but the two PCIe gen 4 slots down 00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:21.479 here are using through holes for soldering and the Gen 5 slot is actually 00:05:19.520 --> 00:05:26.000 surface mounted for now I want to take a closer look at this chassis because as 00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:30.560 cool as project stealth is if it locked you into these components that would be 00:05:27.479 --> 00:05:32.639 a huge hit against its repair ability 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:36.240 and its upgradeability so I want to make sure that we're also compatible with 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:40.759 standard components and just from a quick glance it looks like we are 00:05:38.479 --> 00:05:44.600 because other than these extra cutouts down here which realistically could just 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:48.280 be used as Cable Management under other circumstances there's nothing about this 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:52.319 that would prevent you from putting a completely standard motherboard and 00:05:50.520 --> 00:05:58.479 standard graphics card in it Kos Gigabyte there in fact they've even got 00:05:54.080 --> 00:06:00.319 an upright PCIe GPU Mount um if you 00:05:58.479 --> 00:06:04.880 wanted to use a riser and like do that thing which you obviously wouldn't for 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:08.960 project stealth unless do they have another hole that corresponds to they do 00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:12.039 not that's a missed opportunity Gigabyte to have a cutout right here then you 00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:15.599 could have your PCI cables go up and you could do like a a vertical Mount as well 00:06:14.280 --> 00:06:19.199 Jake's in charge of making sure I reach our production quota this week he's not 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:23.960 telling any stories about paint is he not yet so far I've managed to 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:23.960 disassemble 00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:30.800 it all right goodbye let me just get 00:06:28.280 --> 00:06:33.360 this thing back to original state here as I was looking up the front panel 00:06:31.880 --> 00:06:36.919 connectors I got to thinking in an industry where you can't even get 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:40.360 everybody to agree how much spacing there should be between the positive and 00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:44.400 negative connectors for the front power LED it's very unlikely we're going to 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:49.880 get all the major motherboard and case manufacturers to come together on that 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:53.960 CPU fans should go here and the 24 pin connector should go kind of somewhere in 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:56.919 here so even though the case might be able to be brought forward to a new 00:06:55.520 --> 00:07:01.800 system I think if you want to take advantage of this stealthy feature that 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:06.199 you presumably paid extra for I actually don't know how much the Bare Bones costs 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:10.199 you could end up vendor locked which I'm never a huge fan of I'd rather see 00:07:07.960 --> 00:07:15.000 standards and this is almost certainly a non-standard motherboard ATX in addition 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:20.879 to you know where all the holes go into it and stuff has a maximum depth I'm 00:07:18.840 --> 00:07:24.639 pretty sure that this has got to be exceeding it having all this stuff 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:28.479 hanging off the B the labels actually on all these headers are super clear which 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:32.960 really goes to show how much easier building or pairing a computer could be 00:07:31.080 --> 00:07:37.599 if you had the major players cooperating anyway plof wanted to talk about this 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:42.440 internal HDMI cable are they just reusing a 00:07:38.919 --> 00:07:44.440 chassis that used to have this as a 00:07:42.440 --> 00:07:48.199 feature and then they just didn't want to pay to retool this plastic bezel cuz 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:52.960 I don't even think it's long enough to go up the back of the case on the 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:56.080 surface it appears that this GPU uses a super special layout like the 00:07:54.560 --> 00:08:00.599 motherboard with these power connectors on the bottom but what's actually going 00:07:57.599 --> 00:08:03.080 on here is that it's a short PCB card 00:08:00.599 --> 00:08:06.800 see the card actually ends here and then there's a couple of little pigtails a 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:11.639 couple little leads coming from these flat PCIe connectors that we first 00:08:09.039 --> 00:08:15.080 encountered on a Gigabyte RTX 390 on that Chino system recently and then they 00:08:13.440 --> 00:08:19.199 come out to standard connectors that are just mounted to the back plate so you 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:23.080 see there's little cables there totally standard PCB other than that it's got 00:08:21.400 --> 00:08:27.159 that weird flat connector what is the deal with that we figured out the HDMI 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:32.919 cable issue but it seems to be part of a deeper problem it's that Gigabyte mostly 00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:34.839 just repurposed their C300 chassis which 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:39.080 was not actually designed in the first place for this project case in point 00:08:36.959 --> 00:08:45.040 we've got a 3 pin fan connector here that you can either plug into the CPU 00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:48.720 fan header which is not optimal or you can run down the front of your board 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:54.279 completely defeating the purpose of project stealth oh wow this cut out is 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:59.160 not actually quite big enough it puts a bunch of strain on the 00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:03.200 plastic and that's not because this fan header there's not a CPU fan header it's 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:11.120 just because it's just really tight finally time to build we've gone with a 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:13.240 12700 whoop DDR5 memory 32 gigs 5600 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:20.399 megat transfers per second aora sent over their Gen 4 7,000 is that a model 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:22.160 or is that a read speed oh no it has a 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:28.440 big heat sink on it I can make it fit plof you ready 00:09:25.880 --> 00:09:32.440 watch this oh yeah that brings us perfectly to the most exciting part of 00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:38.800 our build Gigabyte had a scandal recently with power supplies blowing up 00:09:34.800 --> 00:09:40.399 this one probably won't but dang it why 00:09:38.800 --> 00:09:44.640 am I taking these screws out by hand when I have a trusty LT store.com 00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:48.519 screwdriver you're going to end up with really long cables for how short these 00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:52.000 runs are I could see people definitely going for something like a cable mod kit 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:56.120 and getting shorter cables for a build like this I mean it's not that you will 00:09:53.560 --> 00:09:59.959 actually see the extra cable lengths but because this chassis wasn't really 00:09:57.959 --> 00:10:04.040 designed with project stealth in there is not a ton of cable management space 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:07.519 on the back of the motherboard tray could be a bit of a challenge I'd like 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:12.079 to see main Gear's take on a chassis for this does this case actually fit a 360 00:10:11.079 --> 00:10:17.519 mm radiator wait where's the air come from 00:10:14.560 --> 00:10:24.240 it just has no air flow dang it Gigabyte what's the point of a fan filter with no 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:29.839 airflow what the hell so you can't even 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:32.000 get Co through it I what the hell no no 00:10:29.839 --> 00:10:37.320 how are you going to cool the damn GPU there's a fan here doing nothing is this 00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:43.560 why they said don't use a 12900 K what an utter disappointment you can air cool 00:10:39.880 --> 00:10:45.639 it with what air ploof where's the air 00:10:43.560 --> 00:10:49.320 what the heck I'm mounting it in the front and if Gigabyte doesn't like it 00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:54.120 then they can design a better case imagine designing a whole product around 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:59.480 getting all the cables out of the way of the airf flow and then without having 00:10:55.800 --> 00:11:02.360 any air flow so avoidable you know I'm 00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:07.839 reminded of the antec dark Fleet 85 and I mean that as the scathing insult that 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:12.480 it is it was like they never actually bothered to build a computer in the case 00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:18.320 before productizing it that's what this is you have to actually try your product 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:24.279 before you release it like what is this thing 200 Watts 00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:29.320 thanks thanks for all the fans to move around my hot air run it with the side 00:11:26.959 --> 00:11:34.200 panel off yeah cuz I can't get enough of looking at my gorgeous complete lack of 00:11:31.040 --> 00:11:36.320 cables I love how gigabytes design is 00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:41.440 just an ace attack cooler and then they just put like a giant tumor on top of it 00:11:39.760 --> 00:11:45.079 wait is this even going to go in there I don't think I can refund this hard 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:50.959 enough to get this in here oh it goes all right okay it doesn't sit well how 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:53.600 the hell is that supposed to work oh wow 00:11:50.959 --> 00:11:58.320 they stamped the front so the fans kind of come forward a little bit and what 00:11:55.560 --> 00:12:02.320 that means here is that you can't even get the cables threw to the front 00:12:00.079 --> 00:12:07.959 because of the tank Brandon can you see this these cables are mushed no no no no 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:12.320 I don't like putting the fans the other way I know you don't it's bad for 00:12:10.160 --> 00:12:15.880 maintenance cuz you're going to be doing so much maintenance on this piece so 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:20.120 much maintenance got another clearance issue here 5vt addressable RGB header 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:24.880 doesn't seem to have enough room around it to get this plug into it yeah oh wow 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:29.440 this is not even close to being able to fit didn't expect to take up whittling 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:34.440 today I was having so much fun with this I was sitting here thinking wow this is 00:12:31.040 --> 00:12:37.959 going to be so easy to build and instead 00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:39.959 it's the not best the GPU is actually 00:12:37.959 --> 00:12:45.399 kind of the coolest part of all of this the GPU connector is the one that really 00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:46.720 looks awful that's pretty cool okay 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:50.959 maybe I'm back to being excited again plof it's just so clean okay are all 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:56.600 these cables through enough that I can actually close it yes thank you it's 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:59.000 clean as hell wait this OS was not set 00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:04.600 up by you no I did a Windows 11 install and it hooks into all the uh aorus 00:13:02.680 --> 00:13:08.240 software and that auto downloads a bunch of like Norton and stuff like that I
