the Intel xtreme rig challenge is back
0:10
and more extreme than ever nine of the world's extreme s system builders are
0:16
squaring off to build the most uh shoot what's the word i'm looking for
0:23
that's the one the most extreme gaming
0:26
rigs in the history of extremity but wait it gets extreme
0:32
okay that's enough of that but seriously you yes you have a chance to win the
0:37
winning rig just by voting you vote then
0:41
a system wins then you win the system that one it's literally a win-win
0:46
situation the contestants have already started building and have each uploaded
0:50
their own build blog videos revealing just how extreme sorry insane
0:56
just barely caught myself there these builds are going to be
1:00
cyber power has returned from the future and brought with them a spherical and
1:05
transparent inwin win bot case equipped
1:09
with voice commands and facial recognition i personally cannot wait to
1:13
see how they customize this thing i really hope they call it the powerball
1:18
cause you know you might win it meanwhile big things are happening at
1:23
the zydax hq where once again the team is thinking completely outside or at
1:28
least on top of the box they're using
1:32
two pc-011 cases mounted together with
1:36
custom glass and a metric crap ton of
1:39
radiators now this is what we expect from an extreme rig oh i did it again
1:44
and in a less alien but equally daring move main gear has opted to use their
1:49
new f-131 case with an apex fully
1:53
integrated water cooling system that they engineered at the same time they
1:56
designed it now obviously it looks
2:00
awesome but there's a tricky part the f-131 is a
2:04
medium-sized matx chassis that the team is going to have to modify in order to
2:09
squeeze in the full atx ASUS rog strix
2:13
x299 xe gaming motherboard that is one of the secret ingredients in this year's
2:19
showdown it's probably worth the effort though i mean how else would they get
2:22
aura sync RGB lighting with an all-new addressable RGB header a supreme fx
2:27
sound card for the flattest of frequency responses and a metal frame to support
2:31
the heavy-duty gpus that we expect to see the competitors load into their rigs
2:36
when they release their future build logs so in the next batch of vlogs the
2:41
competitors will be showing off the cooling systems that they'll be using
2:44
for the Intel core i9 extreme edition processor that'll power each rig this
2:48
puppy has Intel turbo boost max technology 3.0 and 44 PCIe lanes for
2:53
mega scalability and then finally in the third wave of build logs the teams will
2:58
be highlighting their peripherals their RAM which i assume will be RGB and the
3:03
Intel optane 900p SSD that they'll be
3:06
using this is Intel's fastest NVMe drive featuring 3d cross point technology for
3:11
incredibly low and consistent latency so stay tuned and remember that you yes you
3:17
the mere mortal out there actually have a chance to own the winning rig just by
