coolermaster v-series semi modular power supplies feature 80 plus gold efficiency
0:11
and their gold guarantee five-year warranty click now to learn more look at
0:15
that we didn't do any unboxings in like what I don't know almost a year and then
0:20
now all of a sudden it's like two unboxings within a span of a couple of
0:24
weeks but this one is a little bit different this isn't just a product this
0:27
is an experience I haven't actually tried it
0:31
yet but it was sent by Intel and one of
0:35
the accompanying shipments was an X 99 deluxe LGA 2011 3 motherboard with
0:39
support for quad channel memory the latest haswell-e or also known as Intel
0:44
new fourth-generation extreme 6 core okay so haswell-e and
0:52
so yeah I think I have a pretty good idea of what's inside the box it's also
0:56
fragile so it's clearly not rocks although it is a little bit on the heavy
1:01
side so let's find out what's in here shall we it's extremely well packaged
1:05
with a nice soft sell soft closed cell
1:08
foam and also comes with look at this look at the amount of instructions in
1:13
here you see that notice there's like
1:16
books worth of instructions so there's
1:20
like Intel Core processor family for enthusiasts boost your performance
1:25
increase security better connectivity and specs for all these new
1:31
fourth-generation chips and then what
1:34
else we got here so we've got Oh an
1:38
overclocking guide for haswell-e that's gonna come in handy
1:42
presumably depending on what's inside we've got introducing the x99 deluxe an
1:47
entire novel written by a soos alright ah
1:51
there's an AC adapter yeah 12 volt okay
1:56
yes we got in here ah yes extract it from the hole
2:04
16 gigs of crucial quad-channel ddr4
2:09
2133 1.2 volt memory so the advantage of ddr4 memory over the existing ddr3
2:15
memory is that it runs at lower voltages runs at higher speeds and looks much
2:21
uglier no I'm just kidding this is this is pretty basic ddr4 there will be
2:25
enthusiast grade stuff from crucial as well as other memory brands over the
2:30
next little while but there you have it it's still ddr4 it's still high tech and
2:34
it's still 16 gigs of what will presumably go with what we're gonna find
2:38
inside now I've made it this far already I'm aware that there is a like
2:44
containment cylinder unit inside
2:47
but I have not yet actually opened it up
2:52
so we should get a good look at this thing before we get started as anything else oh okay well the little pull tab
2:57
came out so I don't know where we're supposed to pull up at home but
3:00
presumably it's been pulled so there's
3:04
that let's take a look at this bad boy so on this way goes up I got that right
3:09
well I mean there's feet on the bottom so if I couldn't figure that out I'm probably an idiot this way has some this
3:15
actually looks like hand finished these are cool this definitely is more effort
3:22
than NVIDIA put into their GTX 590 containers where they ship them in ammo
3:26
boxes that had like a stencil spray-painted over the top of it so yeah
3:31
I got to give kudos to Intel for presentation here that's for sure
3:35
there's a reset button on the back let's just go ahead and press that and then
3:39
that is where the power jack goes so okay I'm going to assume the Oh oh
3:45
that's a shame up on the top you can actually see that one of our one of our
3:50
flappy tabs here looks like it got damaged in shipping hopefully whatever's
3:54
in the containment unit is not going to get out and give us any sooner than we
3:59
were already gonna unleash it ourselves anyway this is the shortest power cord
4:03
I've ever seen how are they expecting you to plug this thing in does it reach
4:07
it and it does not reach to the floor
4:10
someone gave me a Power squid body
4:14
okay no no it's okay it's okay we got this I right we have powered up the
4:19
containment unit and oh hello
4:24
there's a ticking noise body it's a bomb that's about the best
4:30
Doc Brown's voice I can do so I'm gonna turn the red thing to match the other
4:34
red thing
4:40
well this reminds me of an old game
4:43
loading screen
4:54
the old game experience continues
4:59
look at that lighting on the inside you gotta get the top angle here check that
5:04
out
5:07
is it smoking is it supposed to do that I
5:12
can't even see it because of the current hey okay I'm moving to the other side
5:17
this is stupid I'm missing the show look at everyone else gets to see it I
5:29
think that's probably the show
5:32
does it need help oh no it's got it's
5:35
got it it's alright yeah so in addition look at them LED
5:42
strips love it so in addition to the to
5:45
the ddr4 memory and x99 motherboard this
5:48
I wasn't expecting there is also a 240
5:52
gig 730 series Intel SSD these are fantastic SSDs we've talked a bit oh
5:57
it's opened we've talked a fair bit about these in the past probably for
6:00
quality assurance I'm assuming where
6:04
what's important about these is how consistent the performance is across
6:08
various different types of workloads even when you're hitting them extremely hard so they're really great for raid
6:13
configurations SATA 3 all the usual
6:16
stuff and you get no mounting bracket but you do get disk loading software
6:20
screws 5 I always like that it's nice touch one extra screw in case you lose
6:24
one SATA and then a speed demon sticker oh look the flood the flashing lights
6:29
are back boo boo boo boo this is where
6:34
the show really starts so this one they
6:37
did reseal so I guess I'll need my trusty unboxing knife let's go ahead and
6:42
place this bad boy open and inside here
6:46
we find a chipmunk oh really it's a CPU I was expecting a
6:50
chipmunk so inside here we get Intel's latest and greatest I'm gonna have to
6:56
check the clock speed on the chip just to make sure that it is what I say it is yes latest and greatest core i7 59 60 X
7:04
this is an 8 core processor clocked at 3
7:07
gigahertz base 3.5 gigahertz boost it has 20 megabytes of level 3 cache it's
7:14
runs on the all-new x99 chipset which
7:17
you've seen which has a lot of advantages over the older z97 1 are not
7:21
in terms of up excuse me over the old x79 one things like more native USB 3
7:26
ports more native SATA 3 ports more feature support that board in particular
7:31
you can throw an add-in card onto it and you can get support for Thunderbolt
7:35
something that was never available outside of the Mac Pro on LGA 2011 and
7:40
then of course you get support for ddr4 memory running in up to a quad channel
7:44
configuration for pretty much as much memory bandwidth as most consumers at
7:49
least for now we help me say this right it's more than anyone will ever need
7:54
until the needs continue to evolve speaking of needs who needs an 8 core
7:59
processor I would make the argument that very few people need one but it's
8:03
definitely a nice to have especially if in addition to gaming because we all
8:06
know that games don't use more than a couple of cores at a time but if in addition to gaming you want to I don't
8:12
know output video while you're gaming or you want to stream while you're gaming
8:16
using CPU encoding for the best possible quality more course is going to be a
8:20
benefit to you and that's where Intel's latest enthusiast platform comes in it's
8:26
not like Intel's replacing the mainstream 1150 platform this is just in
8:30
addition to that for people who really want the cream of the cream well thanks
8:35
for checking out this fun little unboxing big thanks to Intel for
8:40
providing this neat containment unit unboxing experience thing it was pretty
8:45
fun to make about I think that according to their instructions for how to make
8:49
the video we need to hit him refer people to
8:56
Intelli / unbox where they can go ahead
9:00
and visit the pro performance website
9:03
and then I'm gonna tweet and Facebook this thing like nobody's business thanks
9:09
for watching guys like the video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a comment letting me know actually
9:14
I'm not Intel know what did you think of of this as far as as far as cool
9:20
publicity stunts go you know was it was it cool
9:24
let them know what's up I don't I like it I think it's cool put
9:31
this all back I wonder if you can Rican
9:34
tain it guys don't forget to support us we have
9:39
a support us link in the video description you can buy a t-shirt you
9:42
can give us a month in contribution you can change your amazon bookmark to entire philia code and all of that good
9:47
stuff okay I pressed reset what bit okay okay whoa whoa whoa
9:54
I'm planning to like make this part of
9:58
like hard set or something at some point because it's super super cool we found
10:03
we found the piece so it looks like we can just glue that back on no problem
10:07
and it's gonna be back to its former glory so
10:18
pretty cool
10:22
peace guys
