Our coverage of PAX Prime 2015 is powered by HyperX. Check out their Cloud
2 headset down in the description below. Also, thank you to ASUS and Corsair. All
right, guys. So, as you probably know, there's been a ton of really big
launches in tech recently, namely 950 and Skylake. And ASUS has been a part of
that with motherboards and graphics cards. So, they don't have a ton that's
brand new to show us. Also known as they don't have anything brand new to show
us. So, what we're going to do is check out some of the systems that are around the booth. First off with the NCIX PC.
This system is beautiful. It was built by the fabled Crazy Ivan. If any of you
guys remember him, I'm sure you do. And if you saw back at PAX East when we did
a system showcase at the Intel booth, you probably remember some of the things
from that video. One of them namely was that I kind of grilled him a little bit
on his droopy or long run water cooling.
You can see here it kind of looks like a hardline setup, but it's not. This is
soft water cooling tubing. Ivan stepped his freaking game up and this looks
awesome. All of the water cooling is powered by EK. You can see on the back
of the graphics card, they've done some custom painting to the actual back
plates of the graphics card which looks sick. Speaking of custom painting,
there's automotive paint on a lot of the area around the case. There's custom
stenciling on the top and the front of the case. And you can see a big ASUS
logo on the side. That means that they are officially elite powered by ASUS.
They're a top tier partner. That means all of their systems are custom approved
by ASUS, which is actually pretty freaking cool. It also features cable
mod cables, which have custom LED runs going through the cables so they glow
and look super cool. There's other things like carbon fiber accents all
over the place because Ivan really likes carbon fiber. And there's a pastel
colored liquid cooling that actually matches the cable mod cables, which
looks really cool and it goes down to the detail on every level.
For internal hardware, there's an Intel i76700 K, 16 GB of Corsair RAM, a 750
series 400 GB SSD, dual 980 strickxes,
uh Z1 170 Herobbased Maximus 8 series
board, and an HX850i. You can buy this
system as is, but there isn't a landing page or even I think a name for it yet
considering Ivan just finished building this thing like yesterday. So, you'll be
able to get it soon. Pay attention. The next system is from Puget and it has a
little bit of a different direction. We'll start with the hardware this time. It has an Intel i76700 K, an ASUS
Maximus 8G, 32 GB of Crucial memory, and
an ASUS stricks 980 Ti. But that's where
things started to go a little insane. The storage setup on this thing is nuts.
For your main drive, you have a 1.2 TB Intel 750 NVMe drive. For auxiliary
drives, you have two 1 TB Samsung 850
EVOs and three 6 TBTE WD Reds.
Ridiculous. The amount of solidstate storage and hard storage in this thing
is just nuts. And if you listen to that
description without being able to see it, you probably expect it would be a lot bigger. The amount of storage that
they fit in this tiny little box is more specifically what I should have said. H
pretty freaking impressive. And last but not least is honestly their racing rig.
I don't think you can just buy this thing cuz I'm pretty sure they custom make it every time. But it's got a
Maximus 8 hero uh Z170 board, dual 980
Ti Stricks's 6700 K, Corsair SSD, an
AX1200i power supply from Corsair as well, and one of the sickest chassis
ever considering it's like in a box
under a racing seat that has hydraulics on it and you get to play one of the
most badass RA racing setups I've ever freaking seen. And that's it. That's my
top three. I know it might have seemed like I cpped out a little bit with that
last one there, but honestly, it was my favorite system here outside of the
other two that I showed. The other two were cool for specific reasons, like the
first one having a badass liquid cooling setup and the second one having a badass
storage setup, and then that one was a badass gaming setup. Thanks again to
HyperX for bringing us here to PAX Prime. Uh, check out this little card
