WEBVTT 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:07.200 Welcome to Linus Tech Tips at CES 2013. Our trip to the show this year is 00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:11.440 powered by Corsair, maker of quality PC components and peripherals. Our trusted 00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:16.200 storage partner is Seagate Technology, and our trusted networking partner is 00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:16.200 Links. 00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:23.840 Here in the MSI suite, we've got what was I thought was a pretty cool little 00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:28.720 demo. You have a bit of a history of the MSI Twin Frozer series cooler. So, this 00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:34.480 is the Twin Frozer. It looks like a dog, quite frankly. Sorry, man. Twin Frozer 2 00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:39.360 added looks. It added more dense fins and it well performed a little better. 00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:42.800 Okay. Twin Frozer 3 adds propeller blades. So, here we're actually 00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:46.879 improving the performance of the cooler over the previous generation products in 00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:50.879 addition to again looking better. And Twin Frozer 4, Alex from MSI is joining 00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:54.239 us. Why don't you tell us what you guys added with Twin Frozer 4, which is the 00:00:52.559 --> 00:00:58.239 current generation Twin Frozer. Turn frozer 4 actually a slightly different 00:00:56.239 --> 00:01:03.600 design on the shroud a little bit more aggressive but the biggest change was we 00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:05.280 added a the dust removal technology 00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:08.640 which is allows the fans to spin backwards on system startup and the 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:12.799 biggest thing is is that every generation of tin frozer we keep adding 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:17.200 something to the design of the graphics card to improve and in reality if you're 00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:22.560 buying a twin frozer series graphics cards uh you're not paying for anything 00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:26.080 extra like a special technology whatever we just keep adding something to it from 00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:29.600 a previous generation. Okay. So, tell us about this system over here. So, this 00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:33.759 features MSI technology inside it. This is an ITX gaming machine. What the heck 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:39.360 is this thing? Uh, this is actually done by one of our partners, I by Power. This 00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:41.280 is the Revolt chassis. It's a mini ITX 00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:44.240 based system. Very small as you can see, very compact. The system is standing 00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:49.920 upright, but you can also set it, you can send it on its side. And it's got a 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:53.119 fullsize GTX 680 graphics card inside of 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:55.200 it. um along with a custom um you can 00:01:53.119 --> 00:01:59.040 actually see that right there. Yeah, you can actually see it. It uses a uh PCIe 00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:03.119 bridge to have the graphics card mounted on the side. That's very very cool. So I 00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:06.960 want to give you an angle of the back of it here sort of. So you can see that the 00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:10.800 motherboard and the graphics card are mounted in sort of a sort of a strange 00:02:09.119 --> 00:02:14.879 way. So they've designed this chassis to be used with a bridge and it you pretty 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:18.879 much can't install a graphics card in it without that then I suppose. Yes. Very 00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:23.920 cool. Okay. Okay. And what's that other system you've got over there past the 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:26.560 MSI mechanical keyboards? Oh, the MSI 00:02:23.920 --> 00:02:31.360 mechanical keyboards. But this is the um uh Cooler Master half XP uh case. More 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:37.200 meant for like, you know, open bench kind of uh testing. But the inside we 00:02:33.519 --> 00:02:40.560 have our Z77 Empower motherboard as well 00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:43.840 as a GTX 680 Lightning graphics card and 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:46.160 also the Vexier Empower Edition memory 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:50.959 kit. And uh of interest is that all these three components match color-wise. 00:02:48.239 --> 00:02:56.239 They're all black in sync with yellow accents and um very clean system setup. 00:02:54.239 --> 00:03:00.480 I mean this is if you were building Empire based Z77 empower based uh 00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:04.080 system. This is how you would want to set it up. Yeah, this looks this looks 00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:08.560 gorgeous actually. I'm going to tweet that right now. So next we're going to 00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:12.560 do the MSI system section of their booth. Now I did make a slight mistake. 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:16.000 Uh we're not going to see systems just yet. We're going to wrap up with a few 00:03:14.239 --> 00:03:22.000 motherboards on the component side, then we'll move over to systems. It's going to be a separate video. So, what do you 00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:28.080 guys got here? We've got a Z77 ITX. We've got a Value Z77 board that has 00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:32.239 Thunderbolt on board. And tell us about this guy right here in the middle. This 00:03:29.920 --> 00:03:37.120 is actually a Z77, not Z77, this is actually X79, sorry, 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:41.760 gaming motherboard. This is going to be the X79A GD45 00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:45.120 gaming. The name actually might not be gaming when it's announced, but for the 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:49.519 time being, it's it's being called gaming. It's a refresh of the X79 00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:53.760 platform in advance of a new processor that's coming out towards the middle of 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:56.959 this year, 2013. And not that you can give us any details on that, right? No, 00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:01.439 not that I can give you any details, but you can use your imagination as to what 00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:07.360 the next version of the code name for uh socket 2011 CPU is concerned. but it is 00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:12.080 a new color scheme and it is going to be one of several refresh boards that we 00:04:09.200 --> 00:04:16.479 will have for the X89 chipset. Okay, so guys, don't forget don't miss any of our 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:19.680 coverage of CES 2013. And as always, don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:27.000 Tips.
