00:00:12.120 --> 00:00:19.600
nc.com welcome to the NZXT Suite where we've got a few new products on display

00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:24.000
so number one is their h82 V2 series power supplies these are aiming to bring

00:00:21.880 --> 00:00:28.160
fully modular power supplies down to Affordable price points so this right

00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:33.160
here is a 550 W power supply it's 80 plus bronze it has a 135 mm cooling fan

00:00:31.119 --> 00:00:36.320
and is of course I mean if they hadn't managed to make it fully modular then

00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:41.239
they wouldn't have achieved their goal so the idea here is just that if you

00:00:39.160 --> 00:00:45.000
want cable management and you don't need a huge High wattage power supply and

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:49.160
you're okay with 80 plus bronze then you can save a few bucks and get a Hal 82 V2

00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:54.280
there's also another version of it the V2s which is a 750 wat power supply that

00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:59.359
will only be available in 220/230 volt whichever the voltage is

00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:06.159
countries so not in my country so let's move on on this right here is the

00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:09.119
Phantom 530 this is the first time the

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:11.680
Phantom has been redone since well okay well it hasn't been that long since

00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:16.720
they've done a new Phantom but this is the first time they've done what is essentially a redesign of the original

00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:20.200
Phantom so what have they changed here number one is you might notice that the

00:01:18.360 --> 00:01:24.200
window is bigger personally I think this is great because when you're going to

00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:28.400
buy a flashy pants case you might as well show off the flashy pants Hardware

00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:32.119
that you've got inside it number two is the fact that they have added uh a

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:37.799
mechanism that allows you to spin the case around with one oh wait no it so it

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:39.520
doesn't come with this right oh sorry

00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:42.920
okay it does not come with the Lazy Susan underneath no but they've widened

00:01:41.479 --> 00:01:48.840
the chassis a little bit so this has done a couple of things that allows them to mount a 140 millim fan in the back

00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:53.360
instead of just a 120 they've still got that height adjustable thing that they

00:01:50.360 --> 00:01:56.520
do as well as d da da da da here in the

00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:59.000
front you can do a 200 mm cooling fan

00:01:56.520 --> 00:02:02.759
down here or you can actually Mount some radiators instead so let's go ahead and

00:02:00.759 --> 00:02:07.240
get this bad boy open after we show you the single channel 30 W fan controller

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:11.319
so let's go ahead and open this up don't worry the real one will we hold on this

00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:18.360
is hard to do with one hand you guys there we go all right so inside there we

00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:22.840
go so you can do either single 200 mm or

00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:26.000
dual 140 mm or a dual 120 mm radiator up

00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:28.680
in the top you've got full support for a

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:32.400
dual 140 mm radiator so that means the Kraken x60 is going to fit in here no

00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:36.840
problem you've also got support for a single 360 mm radiator if you want to do

00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:40.800
custom liquid cooling so you can actually fill this thing up with an

00:02:38.440 --> 00:02:43.959
unbelievable amount of Radiators which is even better than the original Phantom

00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:49.440
I guess if you're going to redo something you might as well do it better you've got metal latches for the 5 and

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:52.959
a/4 inch Bay personally this gives me some confidence but I'm still going to

00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:55.720
opt to use the yes they're there optional screw-ins for those just

00:02:54.640 --> 00:03:00.360
because you don't want them flying around during shipping you've also got 3

00:02:58.040 --> 00:03:03.879
plus 2 plus one hard drive cages that are also compatible with ssds what I

00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:09.640
like about these is the fact that they're modular these are some of the we're seeing some features here that

00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:14.599
have been on higher end and newer NZXT cases for a while now but remember guys

00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:19.760
the Phantom was their first fully custom designed by NZXT case so there have been

00:03:17.959 --> 00:03:24.640
some Innovations since then it was probably time to do this so you can move

00:03:22.440 --> 00:03:29.560
these around stack them however you want and let's move around to the back on the

00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:33.840
back we see this this is actually one of my favorite things that they've started

00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:37.120
to do this built-in Fan Hub so instead of having to worry about like oh well

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:43.799
I'm going to plug it in there and there and there and there one switch on the top of the case changes all your fans

00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:47.280
12vt 7vt 5vt you plug all your fans into one place that's nice and hidden so you

00:03:45.480 --> 00:03:51.480
can bring it back here they've got like I don't know what it is like 100 billion

00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:55.840
little cable Loop Ties on the back here so that you can route all your cables

00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:59.840
and keep them away from that large window that's going to make your system

00:03:57.239 --> 00:04:03.879
look sexy now let's go over here where you can actually see that there are more

00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:06.920
colors of the Phantom 530 this is white so there's white black and red at the

00:04:05.480 --> 00:04:12.640
start and they've got a prototype product in here that is kind of kind of

00:04:09.519 --> 00:04:14.239
ridiculous so liquid cooling on graphics

00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:20.880
cards we've been we've been seeing this for years I remember Sapphire did like a

00:04:16.840 --> 00:04:23.040
toxic like 5870 or some with an acitech

00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:26.919
liquid cooler it was a total disaster because compatibility was a nightmare so

00:04:25.080 --> 00:04:31.199
what NZXT has done is they've gone and made it Universal so with just this

00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:35.919
Brack ET which you get for what like 19 bucks or something stupid like that 15

00:04:33.479 --> 00:04:39.840
bucks these are dual Titans that are running this NZXT bracket they're

00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:43.759
compatible with any acitech liquid cooler so this is just a kraken x60

00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:48.199
running through the little bracket here and then it mounts a 92mm fan that cools

00:04:46.280 --> 00:04:52.000
the card so they've got dual Titans running in here with a solution that

00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:58.000
costs between this cooler and this bracket less than a 100 bucks which is

00:04:54.320 --> 00:05:00.280
definitely less than a liquid cooling

00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:02.800
water block I mean and sort of the flip side of that is Linus well it also

00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:06.479
doesn't cool the whole card like a liquid cooling water block and you blah

00:05:05.080 --> 00:05:10.160
blah blah it doesn't improve performance liquid cooling that much actually wrong

00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:15.400
because with something like a GTX Titan with GPU Boost 2.0 keeping the card

00:05:12.840 --> 00:05:19.840
cooler actually makes it run faster and the most important part to make it run

00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:24.319
cooler is the GPU core itself so this is an incredibly smart way to address that

00:05:22.520 --> 00:05:27.360
particular problem and I guess since we're here we might as well show you the

00:05:26.080 --> 00:05:30.400
Black Version where they've got some custom liquid cooling running in here

00:05:29.080 --> 00:05:35.680
I'm just going to go ahead and flip this around let my camera go check this out

00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:40.840
so there's a 240 mm liquid cooler there 360 mm up here and then a couple of sort

00:05:38.520 --> 00:05:45.520
of more traditional full cover GPU water blocks which leads us finally to a very

00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:48.440
awkward change in position between me and my camera and everyone in the

00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:54.039
suite's like running around to get out of my way here this is the h230 it is

00:05:51.479 --> 00:05:58.000
available in black or white and it is generally very similar to the H2 a quiet

00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:01.400
optimized case so you've got noise damping panels in here you've you've got

00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:05.319
a removable cage right here all the drives are actually mounted from reverse

00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:09.680
so you've got six 2 and 1/2 or 3 and 1/2 in drives full ATX motherboard support

00:06:07.960 --> 00:06:14.039
and I personally really like the bezel design I think it looks really clean and

00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:18.960
I mean I guess that's all there really is to say about it looks clean very nice

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:23.680
and I think that pretty much wraps it up guys don't miss any of our computex 2013

00:06:34.280 --> 00:06:41.199
evidently I was wrong that is an x40 not

00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:43.080
an x60 clearly you cannot fit a 280 mm

00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:47.120
liquid cooler in the front of the case sideways if you could we'd be looking at

00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:53.400
like a cube case and this is clearly not one of those also I made AIT bit of a

00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:55.240
mistake so NZXT point was not that with

00:06:53.400 --> 00:06:58.800
nx40 and this bracket you could get it for under $100 because that would cost a

00:06:57.039 --> 00:07:03.160
little more than $100 but it's compatible with other acch OEM liquid

00:07:01.039 --> 00:07:07.639
coolers even from the likes of Corsair such as the H50 so if you grabbed an H50

00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:12.520
paired it up with the NZXT bracket then you could liquid cooler your graphics

00:07:08.960 --> 00:07:12.520
card for under $100
