0:09
keyboards and nc.com our trusted
0:12
retailer for high performance gaming PCs all right guys we're here checking out
0:17
the NZXT h440 designed by Razer this
0:20
thing looks great I'm I'm super stoked with the blackout style and the green
0:24
colors we don't see Green Design builds all that often but when they're done right they're done very very right so
0:30
what can you tell me about this system what can you tell me about this vision and who is applicable for this kind of
0:34
idea yeah so first and foremost it's the first case uh in our new case licensing
0:39
program the designed by Razer program so basically the concept is we want to work
0:42
with top case manufacturers and be able to provide our fans a Razer themed
0:47
desktop to build their own dream systems right so that's that's honestly pretty
0:51
much it and what you can see here is what it is as of right now how can is is
0:55
there a way fans can like try to suggest you guys cases or like should they tweet
0:58
at you or what should they do yeah I mean our fan base is never shy to share
1:02
their opinions with us you know we've got over 5 million followers on Facebook
1:05
um and we're actively reading those comments and participating and engaging
1:09
with them there um so we made an announcement yesterday we got a
1:12
tremendous response already including some suggestions um of things they'd
1:16
like to see different different sizes different styles of cases so we'll take
1:20
all that feedback and put that into the plan to work on the next one awesome so
1:24
if you guys are interested in like a maybe a dark black and green themed
1:28
build like with razor logos place which looks fantastic maybe suggested to them
1:32
we're going to move on and check out their improvements to the blade now I had to check out the blade not only
1:36
because I got to see it before Linus which is hilariously awesome but because
1:39
they have some really cool improvements so what can you tell me about what happened to the blade yeah I think the
1:43
most noticeable improvements on the 2014 blade are going to be the uh LCD 3200 by
1:49
1800 display also includes a capacitive
1:52
touchcreen to really take advantage of Windows a interface yeah for sure one of
1:55
my favorite things actually is the the thermal differences that you guys have
1:59
done it is now colder on the left side where your palm is going to be on the
2:02
laptop more often and a little bit hotter on the right side where it
2:05
doesn't really matter and that's completely fine I thought that was a really cool Improvement what have you
2:09
guys done on the graphics side of things yeah so what we did this year was we put
2:12
in the GTX 870 chip with 3 gigs of vram
2:15
uh so really kind of driving that highres screen making sure the gaming
2:19
performance is up to par um and then as you mentioned The Thermals you know when
2:22
we cram in the quad core i7 CPU cramming
2:26
the GTX 870 obviously thermal management is a huge Challen for our Engineers but
2:30
they did marvelous things with it um really really proud of them when you're
2:34
talking about cramming he's quite serious they're fitting all that into a laptop that's thinner than a the the
2:38
height of a dime that's correct pretty pretty pretty ridiculous if I say so
2:41
myself one really cool thing about that 3 GB of vram actually is a lot of people
2:45
that I've seen especially in my watch dogs performance review have been talking about how they they can't go on
2:49
ultra settings because it's saying you should have at least 3 gabt of vram so
2:53
it's cool you actually do that in a laptop and a ton of people are having problems doing that on a desktop thanks
2:57
