1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,690 - This unboxing is brought to you by AORUS. This is the AORIS XTREME GeForce RTX 3080. 2 00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:11,581 And it promises to, (lid falls) 3 00:00:11,581 --> 00:00:16,730 not fall out of the box, if I do that. Sorry, that came off a little bit, there. 4 00:00:16,730 --> 00:00:20,900 This is one of the most overbuilt 3080's out there. 5 00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:25,003 And it features what they're calling Max-Coverage Cooling. 6 00:00:26,807 --> 00:00:29,640 (plastic rustles) 7 00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:36,658 I promise, it's gonna be worth the effort. (laughs) 8 00:00:36,658 --> 00:00:40,930 I get such a kick out of how freakin' heavy 9 00:00:40,930 --> 00:00:46,332 these 3,000 series cards are. (plastic rustles) 10 00:00:54,070 --> 00:00:57,110 Now, other board makers, they've gone out and they've done 11 00:00:57,110 --> 00:01:00,117 triple slot coolers. But AORIS, they said, 12 00:01:00,117 --> 00:01:06,100 "No! Four slots is the right amount for the RTX 3080." 13 00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:09,280 You hear that sound in the background? That's the engine revving. 14 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,620 Actually, there's construction going on in our office, right now. And we can't delay them, or it's not gonna be done 15 00:01:14,620 --> 00:01:16,910 before the end of the year. Let's peel this puppy. 16 00:01:17,744 --> 00:01:20,411 (plastic peels) 17 00:01:23,410 --> 00:01:27,690 She's a thick boy, all right. - [Jono] Looks like a 3090. - [Linus] Jebus. 18 00:01:27,690 --> 00:01:32,550 Well, you know they have the same GPU, right? - [Jono] Yep. - So, overclocking the snot out of a 3080 19 00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:36,290 means you pretty much need a 3090 class cooling solution. 20 00:01:36,290 --> 00:01:39,370 There's some other accessories in here. Let's have a, let's take a minute here, though. 21 00:01:39,370 --> 00:01:44,030 All right, what all we got in here? All right, fancy case badge. 22 00:01:44,030 --> 00:01:48,240 Whoops. And whatever this guys is. Ca-caw! 23 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,230 - [Jono] Is that Batman? - I think it's somewhere in between Batman, 24 00:01:52,230 --> 00:01:56,800 Birdperson and some kind of, what's that Pokemon, 25 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,056 with the bone? - [Jono] Oh, Cubone. - Ca-caw. 26 00:02:00,988 --> 00:02:04,930 Oh, I fell down. This is actually not bad. (mouth sounds) 27 00:02:04,930 --> 00:02:08,523 Okay, enough of that. Let's have a look at the card. This is cool. 28 00:02:08,523 --> 00:02:13,370 This isn't even in my talking points. Check this out, Brandon. Now, you can't use all of them simultaneously, 29 00:02:13,370 --> 00:02:17,680 because that's a limitation of the Ampere architecture of the GPU. 30 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,340 But look at this, three Display Ports and three HDMIs. 31 00:02:21,340 --> 00:02:25,130 What that lets you do, is have the upmost in flexibility. 32 00:02:25,130 --> 00:02:30,010 You wanna run, you know, three LG C10 48 inch TVs 33 00:02:30,010 --> 00:02:34,410 at 120 Hertz? Boom, you're covered! Three HDMI 2.1's. 34 00:02:34,410 --> 00:02:37,960 Or if you wanna run three PC displays at high refresh rates, 35 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,580 let's say, you know, 1080p 360 Hertz monitors. 36 00:02:41,580 --> 00:02:45,340 Boom, you can do that as well, without having to use any adapters. 37 00:02:45,340 --> 00:02:51,530 Of course, it uses PCI Express Gen 4. And no NVLink SLI fingers. 38 00:02:51,530 --> 00:02:55,440 You have to step up to the RTX 3090 for that. 39 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,140 What they do have up here though, is a little toggle switch. 40 00:02:59,140 --> 00:03:02,500 So, you can either throw the BIOS in OC mode 41 00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:05,883 or silent mode, depending on what kind of a profile you wanna run in. 42 00:03:05,883 --> 00:03:11,760 Now, I would imagine that in silent mode, this thing would be pretty freaking silent. 43 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,970 They've got three fans, with one of them counter rotating here, in the middle. 44 00:03:15,970 --> 00:03:20,830 And what looks like a very silence optimized heat sync. 45 00:03:20,830 --> 00:03:25,640 So, it's large, but more importantly than that, you can actually see that the fin spacing 46 00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:28,770 is quite a bit less dense than you might see 47 00:03:28,770 --> 00:03:32,220 on some of the cards that aren't quite so thick. 48 00:03:32,220 --> 00:03:35,260 A less thick fin stack does mean that there's less 49 00:03:35,260 --> 00:03:39,630 overall surface area of metal per cubic inch. 50 00:03:39,630 --> 00:03:43,910 But what it also means is that it's easier for the air to pass through the heat sync, 51 00:03:43,910 --> 00:03:48,780 with less turbulence. That's another interesting thing, here. So, it doesn't quite have the same amount 52 00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:52,260 of pass through as NVIDIA's design on their Founders Edition, 53 00:03:52,260 --> 00:03:59,370 but you can see they are actually leveraging this edge fan, which is fed by five heat pipes, 54 00:03:59,430 --> 00:04:02,870 to do a lot little bit of pass through cooling over here, on the side. 55 00:04:02,870 --> 00:04:09,080 This card continues the trend of NVIDIA's partners not thinking too much of their proprietary 12-pin connector. 56 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,970 Although, I guess it's hard to think much of it, when they were probably as surprised by it 57 00:04:12,970 --> 00:04:18,460 as anyone else was. So, it uses three 8-pin connectors. And it doesn't look like much right now, 58 00:04:18,460 --> 00:04:22,540 'cause it's just like a black mirror, but this, right here, is a display that can be loaded 59 00:04:22,540 --> 00:04:26,520 up with images and GIFs. So, we're gonna throw it onto a bench and try it out real quick, here. 60 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,180 I have very high expectations for this cooler. Especially given that it's got a vapor chamber 61 00:04:31,180 --> 00:04:36,670 that I didn't even notice before. So, heatpipes feed this entire fin stack, over here. 62 00:04:36,670 --> 00:04:42,550 And then, this one over here, actually has a combination. It's got two heatpipes, plus a vapor chamber, 63 00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:48,010 handling the GPU and the memory. Which are the hottest components on this board. 64 00:04:48,010 --> 00:04:51,380 So, we've got 10 gigs of GDDR6 RAM. 65 00:04:51,380 --> 00:04:56,094 Do I have a keyboard and mouse by any chance? - [Jono] Yeah, it's right behind you. - What a boss. 66 00:04:56,094 --> 00:05:00,012 - [Jono] You said to get everything prepared. - I say lots of things. 67 00:05:00,012 --> 00:05:04,240 - [Jono] You said you wanted a horse, so I gave you a horse. - That's true, you did give me a horse. 68 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,740 We went clip clop, that day. Everything's goin' well, so far. 69 00:05:07,740 --> 00:05:12,600 Plenty of time for it to not output anything, though. Let me get you guys a better look at the display, there. 70 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,700 Not bad. That's pretty sick. This keyboard is really cute, 71 00:05:16,700 --> 00:05:21,100 but we might have to switch off of it. Thanks, like, who doesn't need arrows in their daily life? 72 00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:24,620 How sick is this desk pad, by the way? 73 00:05:24,620 --> 00:05:29,620 Can we just take a moment, to appreciate lttstore.com's fantastic desk pad? 74 00:05:29,620 --> 00:05:33,350 Look how gigantic this thing is. Now, let's see how we hold up for coil whine 75 00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:38,310 when we're actually stressing the GPU. Huh, actually, not bad. 76 00:05:38,310 --> 00:05:42,498 Here, hold on a second. Let me get my mic, here. Is this boom in the shot? 77 00:05:42,498 --> 00:05:44,831 (fans blow) 78 00:05:45,820 --> 00:05:49,530 Not bad, eh? Dang, it also looks like we're gonna settle in around like, 79 00:05:49,530 --> 00:05:53,200 65 degrees, with this puppy. Not too shabby. 80 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,560 All right, AORUS, that plus a four year warranty 81 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,240 makes this look like a pretty compelling card. Of course, if you've got the budget for it, 82 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,740 versus a more basic one. So, as always, you can check it out 83 00:06:04,740 --> 00:06:09,553 at the link in the video description. And as always, you should make sure you are subscribed to ShortCircuit.
