00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:20.820
so

00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:28.160
welcome back sir may i remind you you'll be dining with such an adela and tim

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:32.160
cook this evening and uh you'll be pleased to know that your latest toy has

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:37.920
arrived oh which one the aventum xer

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:41.440
from digital storm red

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:46.559
why the [ __ ] is it red you wanted it to match the ferrari sir i crashed ferrari

00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:50.320
last week are you paying attention at all what am i even paying you for

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:56.800
apologies sir shall we have it repainted to match the

00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:00.960
mclaren no that'll take too long just just buy

00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:05.119
another one very good sir wait hold on a second

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:10.159
you know what the machine's already here i might as

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:14.960
well take a look even if it is ugly yeah quite right my liege but first

00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:19.840
rub my feet my badminton corns are

00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:19.840
flaring up again

00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:28.000
bollocks i've had quite enough of this and you

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:31.680
you can't leave i haven't even told them about our sponsor

00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:36.159
fix are you tired of getting ripped off at the mechanic when you take your car

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:40.640
in for repairs fix can help you find out by giving you estimates on repairs on

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:44.000
your actual vehicle before going in find out more at the link below

00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:56.880
many well-off people don't like flossing their wealth whereas some go all out

00:01:55.119 --> 00:02:01.680
they buy mansions they throw lavish parties they drive fancy cars just

00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:07.280
because they can so what kind of gaming pc would someone

00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:09.520
for whom money is no object buy

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:14.160
well the type that was designed from the ground up with a if you need to ask how

00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:19.440
much you can't afford it kind of attitude of course like this one the

00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:24.800
aventum x by digital storm now in its third generation this concept was born

00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:28.720
way back in 2010 nearly a decade ago with the intention of signaling that

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:32.480
digital storm is not just a regular system integrator but rather one with

00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:38.080
some serious design and engineering chops multiplied by the desire to make

00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:43.519
something an enthusiast can't just diy for x dollars less price be damned now

00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:48.160
the hardware specs in this machine are to be frank nothing you can't just buy

00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:54.480
and put together yourself everything is off the shelf from the ASUS maximum 9

00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:57.599
hero to the g skill trident z RGB RAM to

00:02:54.480 --> 00:02:59.680
a pair of founders edition 2080 ti's

00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:04.400
hecky even the front-facing cooling system is all familiar parts from ek and

00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:10.000
these fancy fans are actually thermaltake rings what you cannot buy

00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:14.239
though is the case and its accessories like the custom machine liquid cooling

00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:19.840
distribution system back here this was designed for the event max and

00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:22.319
i love the industrial design it makes the front facing parts of the loop

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:27.280
cleaner and the soft tubing version of the ventum gets quick disconnects running

00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:31.519
off of it for easy maintenance and upgrades very nice

00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:35.840
the other custom part of the power is the distribution panel it's up here

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:41.200
where you can see the cables running up from the psu and then back down to the

00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:44.080
graphics cards and and also the first of

00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:49.040
the event x's imperfections you see the panel claims that it's an easy to access

00:03:46.799 --> 00:03:53.280
essential point for a GPU power that eliminates the need to route additional

00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:57.040
cables for upgrades and allows a clean and tidy aesthetic not needing to run

00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:02.319
extra cables from deep down there in case you need to sounds like a good idea

00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:07.680
except this panel appears to be a simple pass-through cable go in cable come out

00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:12.640
now i suspect anyone who actually buys one of these would not be doing any diy

00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:17.120
upgrades especially with the liquid cooling in place which perhaps would

00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:22.479
explain the reason we got zero extra power cables with our machine and do not

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:28.479
get me started on this here cabling section for nearly 10 000 us i expect

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:34.000
perfection such as not having miscut nicks on tubing ruts and not having

00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:39.040
mismatched 90 degree adapters down here that trickle my royal highness ocd now

00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:45.280
normally i wouldn't pick on this sort of stuff except that yes you heard that

00:04:41.520 --> 00:04:47.840
right this rig as is is nearly 10

00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:52.160
000 us dollars but what's even more startling is that

00:04:49.520 --> 00:04:57.840
our specimen was not perfectly stable with its out of the box five gigahertz

00:04:54.400 --> 00:04:59.440
all-core overclock no uh we were

00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:03.680
fortunate that we discovered the issue before running any games during our

00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:07.440
standard pre-testing checks procedure and within a few hours a rep was

00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:10.639
assigned to help us figure it out and we we got to hand it to ds alex he was

00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:16.960
super knowledgeable during the troubleshooting and eventually we did get it figured out still though it feels

00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:20.479
like we rolled off the lot in a supercar and it and it's sputtered

00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:25.120
digital storm says that this machine passed both ida and Intel burning test

00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:28.880
before we received it and i actually believed them especially because they

00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:33.039
knew who they were shipping it to and i get that some customers want

00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:36.240
overclocking done for them but the reality is that like custom water

00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:39.440
cooling if you can't plumb a loop or overclock

00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:44.320
yourself you're probably not gonna have the time

00:05:41.919 --> 00:05:48.800
or the patience for the inevitable troubleshooting process when you find

00:05:46.479 --> 00:05:54.479
out that your your RAM kit or your chips imc can't handle cast 14 on the memory

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:59.680
timings in the end though we did end up with a redonkulous

00:05:56.880 --> 00:06:05.919
red makes it go faster towering monster with an awesome paint job and it's fast

00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:10.560
but just how fast well to quantify that we figured we'd drag race it against the

00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:14.720
fastest gaming pc money can buy that we built a little while back with the two

00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:20.560
machines getting nearly identical results that are mostly in the very

00:06:17.440 --> 00:06:22.000
playable category at 4k resolution

00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:26.639
but here's the thing our diy machine although it does cost

00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:31.440
about 4 500 that's still under half the price of the

00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:36.800
event mx which tells us exactly how much you're paying for its custom features

00:06:34.479 --> 00:06:41.280
at the end of the day luxury and value are mutually exclusive and the

00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:47.280
inventomex definitely gives you only one of those so if you're looking for more

00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:50.400
than a hot rodded civic and want the pc

00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:53.280
status symbol equivalent of a supercar

00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:56.319
