Linus Tech tips coverage of computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital our

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:11,040
trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,040
is

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:24,920
nc.com so we're kicking things off at the thermal take Booth with a pretty

5
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:27,840
freaking cool set of case mods here so

6
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:32,559
this one right here is an a30 case but you'd hardly recognize it with the world

7
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:36,840
of tanks mod that we got going on so a rotating turret has been placed on the

8
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:42,680
top of the case with a little Gunner guy here and a big gun right here now the

9
00:00:39,239 --> 00:00:44,520
a30 is actually an matx case is

10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:49,480
optimized for air flow you've got a couple of frosted Windows on either side

11
00:00:47,239 --> 00:00:54,879
as well as ventilation for your graphics card as well as for the CPU memory area

12
00:00:52,359 --> 00:00:58,640
on the other side other than that it's a pretty standard layout you got a couple

13
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:03,000
5 and a/ qu inch Bays on the front though you can hardly see them with all

14
00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:08,439
of the uh you know enormous you know tank extensions that we got going on on

15
00:01:04,839 --> 00:01:10,880
the front here USB 2 USB 3 EA I still

16
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:15,720
like to see EA it's still a faster standard now my understanding is this

17
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:20,759
thing actually moves can you please take it down for the audience and uh and uh

18
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:25,240
all right thank you this this is going to be this are going to be pretty cool we asked them to uh to take them down

19
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:31,079
and and drive them around for us and they were kind of like uh yeah okay so

20
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:36,479
here we here we go guys we are going to be we're going to be fire firing malayer

21
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:42,159
so to speak show us show us how it's done oh uhoh there we

22
00:01:39,479 --> 00:01:44,759
go check that out so the Treads actually move one of

23
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:51,280
the we got to turn turn that around so one of the other cool things about this

24
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:57,719
case is it has a very modular design allowing you to take it apart completely

25
00:01:53,840 --> 00:02:00,719
and oh no this is what happens at trade

26
00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:00,719
shows

27
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:10,720
should we try the other one hey there we go all right we're

28
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:14,360
moving so you can take the whole case apart build your PC and then put the

29
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:18,519
whole thing back together due to the modular design now it doesn't have quite

30
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:22,680
the same terrain climbing ability as an actual tank but without further Ado I

31
00:02:20,959 --> 00:02:27,560
think we'll show you some actual case designs that you can buy from thermal t

32
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:32,000
as opposed to Crazy modded ones oh yeah we didn't see this before but the gun

33
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:36,879
the gun kind of fires here which is uh pretty cool oh oh oh they're aiming at

34
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:42,800
me they're aiming at the camera aiming at the camera you better you get to oh

35
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:49,800
no okay so they're not tanks but the urban series is getting a serious

36
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:55,560
overhaul so the C Series is getting aluminum front panels these are all the

37
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:58,599
urban cases are quiet optimized with

38
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,319
that said you can get them with windowed

39
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:05,319
side panels however if you wanted the ultimate in silence obviously you would

40
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:09,840
lean towards the one with the plain side panel that has noise dampening material

41
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:15,640
on it there's a full line of uh of different cases here so everything from

42
00:03:11,959 --> 00:03:18,519
larger Tower cases to matx Tower cases

43
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:23,799
as well as even over here you've got between the S1 and the sd1 two matx

44
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:29,599
versions one of which is a tower and one of which is a more of a desktop case or

45
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:35,760
or a cube case moving around to this side we've got again more urban cases so

46
00:03:33,239 --> 00:03:40,760
available in multiple colors now multiple designs but again all with that

47
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:44,200
quiet optimized design and of course these are brand new cases so you've got

48
00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:47,959
all the updated feature sets such as things like front USB 3 ports and let's

49
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:54,000
move all the way over here I just want you guys to check out this is the s71

50
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:56,599
snow Edition this is here we go lots and

51
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:00,120
lots of room for all the Hardwares inside this

52
00:03:58,079 --> 00:04:03,480
one now of course you're going to need cooling for all that stuff whether you

53
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:08,799
want silence optimized or performance optimized and this right here is their

54
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:15,159
new Nick series of cooler so this is the NX C5 inside here and what Nick stands

55
00:04:11,799 --> 00:04:17,320
for is network interface card however

56
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:22,680
that is not what we mean in this context you can see there is some higher profile

57
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:27,680
of xir RAM next to this cooler and they are demoing see how the way the Shroud

58
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:31,120
actually overlaps with the fan rather than just building a bulky cooler and

59
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:36,600
then St wrapping a fan to it they're going for a Slimmer profile that allows

60
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:41,120
you to use high profile memory right next to your CPU Cooler without running

61
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:45,720
into any random interference that causes all kinds of problems even with

62
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:49,759
something like an x79 motherboard where you can have four dims on each side

63
00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:54,560
another side effect of this is that if you have very high memory modules such

64
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,919
as Corsair Dominator platinums you're actually going to get some incidental

65
00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:02,720
cooling for them as well because that 120 mm fan is going to be sitting right

66
00:05:00,919 --> 00:05:07,320
next to it so let's go over to where the rest of the Nick series is on display

67
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:13,000
over here we're going to move as quickly as we

68
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:14,479
can so there are a wide variety of these

69
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:19,639
coolers some of them with high performance looking shrouds some of them

70
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:23,039
that are more more basic options but of course you guys watch Linus Tech tips so

71
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:28,800
you know we're all about the liquid cooling the water line of products is

72
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:33,319
getting an update already so water 3.0 extreme the changes here are tuning to

73
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,919
the water block itself as well as to the design of the fans that have allowed

74
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:41,240
thermal T to maintain that same performance that we were so impressed

75
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:45,759
with with the water 2.0 extreme but with a Slimmer radiator which is going to

76
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:48,720
improve case compatibility so I really look forward to seeing if they did pull

77
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:53,080
that off because that was one of the things that I really liked about the

78
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:58,199
extreme 2.0 was just the fact that it did outperform other dual 120 mm liquid

79
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:04,160
coolers and then there is of course the pro series as as well as performance

80
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:06,240
line so that's a slim rad single 120 mm

81
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:12,280
and then the so that's the performer and then the pro is a thick rad 120 mm and

82
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:16,919
they all feature two fans either in push pull or simply in a pull or push

83
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:20,599
configuration for the extreme so this has been our coverage of the thermal
