WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.440
oh come on oh yeah there it is there it is no

00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:11.759
last hit last hit yeah free ball

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:16.960
i'm free ballin that was intense you guys see that

00:00:14.799 --> 00:00:23.279
of course you did thanks to our sponsor for today's video Corsair Corsair sent

00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:26.160
over all the gear we need to create and

00:00:23.279 --> 00:00:32.079
capture sick gameplay montages like that one and like crazy thing they have gone

00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:36.399
from just system memory to the point where you can build almost an entire

00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:41.320
gaming setup with nothing but Corsair parts

00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:41.320
so why don't we give it a shot

00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:54.320
at the heart of almost any sick gaming and streaming rig is an AMD ryzen

00:00:52.239 --> 00:01:00.960
processor and we went with the ryzen 7 3700x mostly because the ryzen 5000

00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:06.320
series isn't out yet it's roughly 300 features eight cores and 16 threads and

00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:11.040
at this price is pretty much the best bang for the buck when it comes to a

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:13.360
multitasking CPU in order to avoid an

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:17.360
awkward situation where we do a build video and then two weeks later it's

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:22.560
irrelevant we chose the ASUS rg crosshair 8. it runs an x570 chipset

00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:28.159
allowing you to easily upgrade to the new ryzen 5000 series cpus once they

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:33.840
land it's also got solid vrms if you're into overclocking AMD has said that

00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:39.360
ryzen 5000 should be an overclocking beast 11 usb type a ports onboard wi-fi

00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:43.840
6n bluetooth and yeah it's expensive at 380 dollars but

00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:49.200
it's about as feature-rich as it gets for system memory naturally we've gotten

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:51.520
Corsair and naturally we've gone for

00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:57.920
RGB lighting this is their vengeance RGB and we've got a 32gb k here clocked at

00:01:53.600 --> 00:01:59.759
33 33 megahertz cl 16. at 150 bucks this

00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:03.680
is a pretty darn good bang for the buck in terms of performance today and

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:08.000
probably not needing to upgrade for quite some time what's a little dumb is

00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:12.400
having to remove this grille from the fan in order to get at the m.2 slot but

00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:18.000
what's not dumb is going with the Corsair mp600 pci express gen 4 SSD it's

00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:22.720
rated for read speeds of almost 5 gigabytes per second and at 180 for a

00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:27.280
very fast boot drive it's pretty darn reasonable it actually comes with a

00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:31.040
cooler but as you can see we stripped it off because our intention was to mount

00:02:28.959 --> 00:02:35.440
it under the spreader that's built into our motherboard so

00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:41.120
for our case we've gone practical today here ladies and gentlemen this is the

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:43.440
Corsair 275 airflow and they're really

00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:47.680
taking the airflow thing seriously yes they do have kind of like a stylistic

00:02:46.160 --> 00:02:52.319
front panel that really doesn't have a lot of gaps

00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:57.599
for airflow in it but then bam not only do they have these gaps in the side they

00:02:54.239 --> 00:02:59.599
actually went and popped it off the rest

00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:04.080
of the case so you've got almost unimpeded access to fresh airflow from

00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:08.400
the sides at least in theory we'll see how it goes it's also got a tempered

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:13.920
glass side panel magnetic fan filter doodad up here and of course cable

00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:17.440
management up the wazoo with room behind the motherboard tray for most of your

00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:20.480
cables and then a basement down in the bottom to cram all the ones that you

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:25.280
couldn't figure out how to hide back there of course managing our unnecessary

00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:30.640
cables won't be a problem with our modular Corsair rm750x power supply

00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:34.480
Corsair was one of the first to jump into the modular power supply game and

00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:38.799
they've got it pretty much down to a science at this point so we'll pop this

00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:42.000
into the bottom this case has nice tall feet so we're not going to worry about

00:03:40.239 --> 00:03:46.080
having our fan down and it getting suffocated or anything like that

00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:51.440
screw it in from the back and go ahead and add our 24 pin connector our 8-pin

00:03:48.959 --> 00:03:54.480
connector for the CPU our other more different 8-pin connectors for the

00:03:52.799 --> 00:04:00.799
graphics card and then we're also going to need a SATA cable to power some of

00:03:56.799 --> 00:04:01.599
our other peripherals oh what the deuce

00:04:00.799 --> 00:04:07.599
okay got it figured out it's just this motherboard the plate that covers the

00:04:04.799 --> 00:04:10.080
fan here also covers the middle uh screw hole so

00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:12.879
i guess i'll start with some of the other ones first it's got a little

00:04:11.760 --> 00:04:18.639
nubbin that's holding it in place there's a feature i really like of course there's cases this was also a

00:04:16.479 --> 00:04:23.120
hilarious innovation the first time i saw it a box for the accessories that's

00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:27.199
shaped like a hard drive with hard drive holes that comes in the hard drive tray

00:04:26.080 --> 00:04:34.080
neat our fan upgrade not exactly a practical one but there's

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:38.720
no doubt that Corsair's ml-120 pro RGB fans with their magnetic levitation

00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:44.320
bearings and of course RGB lighting both perform great and look fantastic

00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:48.080
so we're going to hook them all up to a commander pro RGB and fan controller

00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:52.560
that i'm going to just bury in the basement and not bother to cable manage

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:57.120
because cable managing RGB stuff is a nightmare look at it all two wires per

00:04:55.440 --> 00:05:01.280
fan even though some elements of this rig are more bang for the buck our

00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:04.800
cooling configuration is gonna be freaking

00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:09.199
awesome with three intakes at the front and then three exhausts in the top and

00:05:06.479 --> 00:05:17.520
the back now these two i can't put in yet because i need to mount them to

00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:19.039
to my h100i RGB pro xt liquid cooler

00:05:17.520 --> 00:05:24.960
first um yeah main features of this puppy RGB

00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:29.199
lighting and well it's an aio liquid cooler keep that CPU

00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:32.960
nice and cool this is the key moment in radiator

00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:36.080
mounting when you either knock everything down

00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:40.720
or you get the whole thing lined up in one go so i had mounted the fans with

00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:43.680
the long radiator screws look a little something like that had them just

00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:47.440
stacked there now i'm going to try and put them all the way through to the rad

00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:53.680
and get the whole thing secured did i get it oh i got two that's most of the

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:55.759
battle nice that's a quick aio mount

00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:59.919
right there thermal paste is pre-applied and uh

00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:03.600
i cheated and used the clip mount instead of the uh

00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:08.240
one that takes longer so we're just gonna pop that on there i

00:06:05.280 --> 00:06:12.080
mean ah realistically who cares what are we talking maybe one degree with the

00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:16.000
different mounting pressure two is this gonna have enough room for the

00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:20.240
GPU yeah it should be fine right oh god this is really tight uh okay we're

00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:24.319
running our eight pin for the CPU power connector up here and this is going to

00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:28.479
be a real tight fit ladies and gentlemen there we go that extra 4 pin next to it

00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:31.919
we only really need that if we're getting into like extreme overclocking

00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.880
or something like that and we won't be we're also going to plug in our 24 pin

00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:38.800
at this time after running it through the

00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:45.360
cable management grommet here giving us a nice clean look

00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:48.080
this is all fan and RGB connectors

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:53.199
that's why the commander pro comes in real handy okay

00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:53.199
that's gonna go there

00:06:53.280 --> 00:06:59.120
that hangs off there and we plug all our fans into that all

00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:05.360
right which way do you guys want to go one two three four five six

00:07:01.440 --> 00:07:07.919
or wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong

00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:12.319
perfect we're not going to do that as much as fan and RGB wiring is

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:17.199
annoying though this really does make it quite a lot less painful having it all

00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:20.240
go to one place so i'm just gonna tuck this down here

00:07:19.039 --> 00:07:24.800
and then tuck these over here and the cable management shouldn't look

00:07:23.840 --> 00:07:27.919
too bad front panel audio goes right here i just

00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:33.840
love this pass-through here i hate it when cases don't have that this is really

00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:36.720
annoying this usb port doesn't quite line up with where it would need to be

00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:40.000
to go straight through the cable management hole so we're stuck with kind

00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:43.599
of a bit of an awkward thing there but what i'm kind of hoping

00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:47.520
is that when we bring the GPU cable through

00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:50.720
it'll kind of hide that behind the GPU and the power cables the connectors for

00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:56.319
the front power and buttons are an example of why i do like to have a cable management hole like kind of right here

00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:59.440
right here but you can see we can reuse the one that can be used for GPU cables

00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:02.800
as well if you want to bring them up from the bottom so that that works out

00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:06.639
pretty good actually do should we bring the GPU cables up from the bottom what do you think this location versus this

00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:11.360
one what do you want to see you like the side okay i like it because

00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:15.039
it can help with GPU sag a little bit if you bring it over top that's the main

00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:18.319
reason it's not for aesthetics on that note it's finally time to put the

00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:24.720
graphics card in so we're gonna pull out these two pci covers

00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:27.919
wow that's a strong magnet okay

00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:32.800
and we're moving those tubes over a little

00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:37.599
all right let's see here does that fit all right

00:08:35.839 --> 00:08:40.880
hey they can stop making these runs between the two connectors so long

00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:44.560
because no one's gonna run dual gpus anymore is that good enough yeah

00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.800
all right look okay for a system with RGB

00:08:47.680 --> 00:08:52.760
all over this is not bad

00:08:54.160 --> 00:08:57.279
got to use the old trick

00:08:58.160 --> 00:09:02.800
came together pretty nicely didn't it

00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:10.399
not bad still got to fire it up and make sure everything works but so far not bad

00:09:06.880 --> 00:09:13.120
now it's time for phase two of the build

00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:18.160
the peripherals if you told me Corsair was gonna have everything but the CPU

00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:23.839
GPU and motherboard under their umbrella like even all the peripherals just like

00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:27.120
a few years ago i've been like really actually yeah they seem to be on the way

00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:29.680
towards world domination that makes sense that's probably what i would have

00:09:28.640 --> 00:09:37.600
said one of the big highlights today is of course the k100 RGB it features

00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:42.800
Corsair's iconic all-aluminum construction and the new iq wheel so

00:09:40.959 --> 00:09:48.000
this thing's super cool you can use it to like zoom or

00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:52.959
scroll between all tabs and actually it's got an sdk so the potential is kind

00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:58.399
of limitless that's pretty neat it's got like a wrap around RGB lighting that

00:09:55.200 --> 00:10:00.080
we'll see in a moment here 4 000 hertz

00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:05.519
polling rate which is apparently thanks to using a usb 2 data path instead of

00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:08.080
usb 1.1 and this particular one is

00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:12.080
equipped with cherry mx speed switches although there is a different version

00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:17.040
using Corsair's opx switches that are optically triggered it's got Corsair's

00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:22.640
traditional solid build quality that's looking real fine actually but a price

00:10:19.920 --> 00:10:25.279
to match it over two hundred dollars but hey

00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:30.399
it's got the cable management for your headset wire oh david i missed the best

00:10:27.839 --> 00:10:36.480
part look at this wrist rest it's so plushy also does it mount magnetically

00:10:33.760 --> 00:10:36.480
it does

00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:41.760
now i'm feeling fancy i'm a fancy gamer

00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:45.839
for our mouse we're using a dark core RGB pro we actually managed to forget to

00:10:43.839 --> 00:10:50.480
grab a Corsair mouse pad so i guess what we're going to find out is how well it

00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:53.600
tracks on a random vinyl sticker surface

00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:55.920
here oh iq nexus their companion

00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:59.200
touchscreen we were supposed to do a ShortCircuit unboxing of this thing i

00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:03.040
saw this and it looked super cool but i never got around to it

00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:07.680
so i guess we're gonna find out how it uh how it works here this is

00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:13.040
officially Corsair's most hilarious product they've dropped all pretense

00:11:10.560 --> 00:11:17.519
this is the Corsair RGB RGB stick

00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:18.959
it just sits on your desk and is RGB

00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:22.720
they don't they're not even pretending that it is going to have some other

00:11:20.560 --> 00:11:26.839
function like being a mouse that's also RGB or a case that also has RGB this is

00:11:25.839 --> 00:11:33.040
just RGB oh wait no wait there's a headphone

00:11:30.640 --> 00:11:37.600
stand doohickey you can attach to it but that's optional

00:11:35.680 --> 00:11:40.480
there we go how funny is it that they intentionally hung the headphones off

00:11:39.040 --> 00:11:44.240
the back so that it wouldn't get in the way of the RGB even though that's like

00:11:42.079 --> 00:11:47.120
less ergonomic to grab them i mean i guess technically you could put it on

00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:51.920
any way you want okay you could do this if you really wanted to but then you're

00:11:48.959 --> 00:11:55.760
only getting 75 of the RGB that you paid for

00:11:53.920 --> 00:11:59.360
clearly this is the way how many buttons do you need

00:11:56.959 --> 00:12:01.839
i don't know but the stream deck xl has them

00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:06.560
if you're not familiar with the stream deck lineup every one of these is a

00:12:03.760 --> 00:12:10.720
screen so you can put like your scene or images or if you have like a sound board

00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:14.160
or something each one of these can have a unique function we won't actually be

00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:17.360
using one of the key benefits of the wave 3 microphone from elgato because

00:12:15.920 --> 00:12:24.160
we're using a wireless headset but if you plug directly into it you can actually control both volume and mixing

00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:28.320
of volume and your own voice directly on the microphone itself which is pretty

00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:30.720
cool it comes with a little um mounting adapter if you have an ARM but we're

00:12:29.680 --> 00:12:33.839
just going to throw it on the little standy stand here and then that leaves

00:12:32.880 --> 00:12:38.480
only ah one of their big new products which

00:12:36.079 --> 00:12:42.240
is the elgato ring light it's wi-fi enabled which means you can

00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:47.120
control it with an app on your phone or i'd never do that i usually just use um

00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:50.240
the app on my computer but then i guess if you're in game yeah it makes sense

00:12:48.800 --> 00:12:55.600
you might actually use your phone okay i get it now usually i'm streaming lanchow so i don't

00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:59.360
use it for that and then as a ring light of course one of the key benefits is

00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:02.240
that you get nice even illumination around your face

00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:06.639
got a little camera mount right in the middle there so you can mount your camera right in the middle we can adjust

00:13:04.959 --> 00:13:10.480
the color temperature and the brightness but uh in software so we're going to go

00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:14.399
ahead and get the app installed when we boot up the system let's see if this

00:13:11.680 --> 00:13:18.560
thing actually fires up here now that everything is functionally

00:13:15.839 --> 00:13:22.240
working i'm uh adding some RGB accents we've got our fans lit up so that looks

00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:25.519
pretty sweet oh yeah

00:13:23.760 --> 00:13:29.279
now we'll find out david and i were talking about this off camera how the

00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:34.079
RGB is gonna look through the front grill i would say not bad we're gonna have to

00:13:32.160 --> 00:13:38.720
get a b-roll shot of it or something not in like bright light because it looks

00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:41.279
way cooler when it's not under studio lighting

00:13:39.680 --> 00:13:44.959
there are a couple configuration things that are a little weird right now i

00:13:42.959 --> 00:13:48.480
couldn't get the ring light to sync wirelessly for whatever reason my ones

00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:52.320
at home are like just work instantly so i'm not sure what

00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:56.720
the deal is with that and then this is a funny one the backlight definitely works

00:13:54.639 --> 00:14:00.800
on this but when i load the profile for the h100i RGB

00:13:58.959 --> 00:14:05.360
it's like not backlit it's like it's in a power saving mode or something so it's

00:14:03.040 --> 00:14:09.360
working see check this out that's extreme

00:14:07.040 --> 00:14:13.199
then i go ahead and click quiet give a sec there he goes ramping down

00:14:14.160 --> 00:14:20.079
everything else seems to be working pretty much normally though so all

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:23.519
that's left now is to actually fire up a game i guess

00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:27.680
all right i may not have chosen the most intense game but it's definitely in line

00:14:26.079 --> 00:14:31.079
with our RGB themes here all right ladies and gentlemen

00:14:32.959 --> 00:14:38.000
you've unironically played this game oh yeah i love piglet yeah all right hey i

00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:41.120
realize for some of you this might not live up to the expectations you might

00:14:39.680 --> 00:14:45.920
have had for what we were going to do with this epic

00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:49.760
