1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:07,520
So, for those of you who are pretty uh adept at guessing things, you might have

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:12,719
guessed when we did the Vesta R1 limited edition system that perhaps we would do

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:17,520
a Vesta G1 limited edition system. I am pleased to announce that the Vesta R1

4
00:00:14,799 --> 00:00:21,359
was a complete success. We sold out all five systems in a matter of hours. So,

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:25,279
we are actually going to be doing a larger run of the Vesta G1. At this

6
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:34,160
point, it looks like we're probably going to do somewhere between 20 to 30 systems and they are going to be, wait

7
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:36,079
for it, painted green, right? Right.

8
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:39,760
Because it's NVIDIA. Yes. Okay. So, we have our prototype system in the paint

9
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:44,640
shop right now, but I wanted to show you what Crazy Russian's been working on at

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:50,960
his crazy test bench. So, this is the Vesta G1 in its most being tested form.

11
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:57,280
So, I'm gonna walk you guys through the specs. We're actually going to do two different versions of the system. One of

12
00:00:54,079 --> 00:01:00,800
them is going to have a Core i7 970 6

13
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:03,760
core processor with 12 gigs 12 gigs of

14
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:09,760
RAM. It's going to have a single GTX 590 and it will have an AX 850 power supply.

15
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:15,200
Now, the upgraded version is going to have a Core i790X

16
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:20,720
extreme edition processor, 24 gigs of RAM, and dual GTX 590s for which it will

17
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:24,400
need an AX 1200 W power supply in order to run adequately. So, we're going to be

18
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:28,799
building for our demo system the more basic model because that's what most

19
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,280
people will likely be buying. And I just want to walk you guys through what else

20
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:38,400
is going to be in here. So, come in and get some shots of the test bench because this looks awesome. This is the GTX 590.

21
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,799
We've got the G1 Killer Sniper motherboard from Gigabyte, which is

22
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:46,799
going to match perfectly with our with our GeForce themed color scheme. We are

23
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:52,960
not going to be using a stock cooler. We are actually going to be using the Corsair H70 again. And for our boot

24
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:57,759
drive, we won't be using Crazy Russian's fail ancient hard drive. We will be

25
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:03,360
using a Corsair Performance 3 series SATA 31 128 GB SSD.

26
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,119
Uh we will I think I already mentioned we were going to use the AX850 in the

27
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:12,560
base model and we're going to have a Blu-ray uh writer. Actually, most of the

28
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:17,120
specs are fairly similar to the R1. The big difference is going to be the GTX

29
00:02:14,959 --> 00:02:21,520
590 and the other big difference is going to be that we are using the X58

30
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:27,120
platform with triple channel memory and a six core processor instead of the

31
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:29,120
quadcore processor and P67 platform that

32
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:34,080
we used last time around. So, this is just it's more of a a variation rather

33
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:38,959
than being like uh better or worse because the G1 will be more suitable for

34
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:44,720
things like video encoding, uh video rendering, uh anything with uh with 3D,

35
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:48,959
okay, not necessarily games. Whereas the R1, because it only has four cores, is

36
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,959
not quite as fast for those things, but is also very very fast for gaming. These

37
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,640
are still gaming systems. And I think that's pretty much everything I have to

38
00:02:54,640 --> 00:03:00,560
say about the G1. So you guys do stay tuned as we are going to be doing some

39
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:04,319
in progress updates on the Linus Tech Tips channel and I will show you guys as

40
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:08,319
soon as I get my hands on the case. It looks like it's probably going to be Monday morning I'll get a chance to look

41
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:13,200
at the case. Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings,

42
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,519
reviews, NCX PC videos, and all kinds of

43
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:18,560
other great stuff. Thanks for watching. Crazy Russian gave me a hard time for

44
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:23,519
forgetting to mention that what's so awesome about the Sniper board is that

45
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:30,159
it has hardwarebased X5. That is a creative CA20 K2 chip and it also has a

46
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:32,560
hardwarebased E2100 Killer Nick card

47
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:36,239
built in with its own cache. So that is actually a pretty good value because you

48
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:41,040
don't have to buy a sound card. You have a headphone amped very very decent sound

49
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:45,120
card built right into the motherboard as well as a dedicated gaming nick.
