WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.690 - This unboxing is brought to you by AORUS. This is the AORIS XTREME GeForce RTX 3080. 00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:11.581 And it promises to, (lid falls) 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. 00:00:16.730 --> 00:00:20.900 This is one of the most overbuilt 3080's out there. 00:00:20.900 --> 00:00:25.003 And it features what they're calling Max-Coverage Cooling. 00:00:26.807 --> 00:00:29.640 (plastic rustles) 00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:36.658 I promise, it's gonna be worth the effort. (laughs) 00:00:36.658 --> 00:00:40.930 I get such a kick out of how freakin' heavy 00:00:40.930 --> 00:00:46.332 these 3,000 series cards are. (plastic rustles) 00:00:54.070 --> 00:00:57.110 Now, other board makers, they've gone out and they've done 00:00:57.110 --> 00:01:00.117 triple slot coolers. But AORIS, they said, 00:01:00.117 --> 00:01:06.100 "No! Four slots is the right amount for the RTX 3080." 00:01:06.100 --> 00:01:09.280 You hear that sound in the background? That's the engine revving. 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 00:01:14.620 --> 00:01:16.910 before the end of the year. Let's peel this puppy. 00:01:17.744 --> 00:01:20.411 (plastic peels) 00:01:23.410 --> 00:01:27.690 She's a thick boy, all right. - [Jono] Looks like a 3090. - [Linus] Jebus. 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 00:01:32.550 --> 00:01:36.290 means you pretty much need a 3090 class cooling solution. 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. 00:01:39.370 --> 00:01:44.030 All right, what all we got in here? All right, fancy case badge. 00:01:44.030 --> 00:01:48.240 Whoops. And whatever this guys is. Ca-caw! 00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:52.230 - [Jono] Is that Batman? - I think it's somewhere in between Batman, 00:01:52.230 --> 00:01:56.800 Birdperson and some kind of, what's that Pokemon, 00:01:56.800 --> 00:02:00.056 with the bone? - [Jono] Oh, Cubone. - Ca-caw. 00:02:00.988 --> 00:02:04.930 Oh, I fell down. This is actually not bad. (mouth sounds) 00:02:04.930 --> 00:02:08.523 Okay, enough of that. Let's have a look at the card. This is cool. 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, 00:02:13.370 --> 00:02:17.680 because that's a limitation of the Ampere architecture of the GPU. 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:21.340 But look at this, three Display Ports and three HDMIs. 00:02:21.340 --> 00:02:25.130 What that lets you do, is have the upmost in flexibility. 00:02:25.130 --> 00:02:30.010 You wanna run, you know, three LG C10 48 inch TVs 00:02:30.010 --> 00:02:34.410 at 120 Hertz? Boom, you're covered! Three HDMI 2.1's. 00:02:34.410 --> 00:02:37.960 Or if you wanna run three PC displays at high refresh rates, 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:41.580 let's say, you know, 1080p 360 Hertz monitors. 00:02:41.580 --> 00:02:45.340 Boom, you can do that as well, without having to use any adapters. 00:02:45.340 --> 00:02:51.530 Of course, it uses PCI Express Gen 4. And no NVLink SLI fingers. 00:02:51.530 --> 00:02:55.440 You have to step up to the RTX 3090 for that. 00:02:55.440 --> 00:02:59.140 What they do have up here though, is a little toggle switch. 00:02:59.140 --> 00:03:02.500 So, you can either throw the BIOS in OC mode 00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:05.883 or silent mode, depending on what kind of a profile you wanna run in. 00:03:05.883 --> 00:03:11.760 Now, I would imagine that in silent mode, this thing would be pretty freaking silent. 00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:15.970 They've got three fans, with one of them counter rotating here, in the middle. 00:03:15.970 --> 00:03:20.830 And what looks like a very silence optimized heat sync. 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 00:03:25.640 --> 00:03:28.770 is quite a bit less dense than you might see 00:03:28.770 --> 00:03:32.220 on some of the cards that aren't quite so thick. 00:03:32.220 --> 00:03:35.260 A less thick fin stack does mean that there's less 00:03:35.260 --> 00:03:39.630 overall surface area of metal per cubic inch. 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, 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 00:03:48.780 --> 00:03:52.260 of pass through as NVIDIA's design on their Founders Edition, 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, 00:03:59.430 --> 00:04:02.870 to do a lot little bit of pass through cooling over here, on the side. 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. 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 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, 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 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. 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 00:04:31.180 --> 00:04:36.670 that I didn't even notice before. So, heatpipes feed this entire fin stack, over here. 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, 00:04:42.550 --> 00:04:48.010 handling the GPU and the memory. Which are the hottest components on this board. 00:04:48.010 --> 00:04:51.380 So, we've got 10 gigs of GDDR6 RAM. 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. 00:04:56.094 --> 00:05:00.012 - [Jono] You said to get everything prepared. - I say lots of things. 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. 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:07.740 We went clip clop, that day. Everything's goin' well, so far. 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. 00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.700 Not bad. That's pretty sick. This keyboard is really cute, 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? 00:05:21.100 --> 00:05:24.620 How sick is this desk pad, by the way? 00:05:24.620 --> 00:05:29.620 Can we just take a moment, to appreciate lttstore.com's fantastic desk pad? 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 00:05:33.350 --> 00:05:38.310 when we're actually stressing the GPU. Huh, actually, not bad. 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? 00:05:42.498 --> 00:05:44.831 (fans blow) 00:05:45.820 --> 00:05:49.530 Not bad, eh? Dang, it also looks like we're gonna settle in around like, 00:05:49.530 --> 00:05:53.200 65 degrees, with this puppy. Not too shabby. 00:05:53.200 --> 00:05:56.560 All right, AORUS, that plus a four year warranty 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, 00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.740 versus a more basic one. So, as always, you can check it out 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.
