thank you to Corsair for sending us to computex 2016 check out their lap dog in
0:03
the video description down below also thank you to well MSI for sending us
0:07
here and we're going to check out their Aus X desktop the Aus X is a barebone
0:11
rig in North America meaning it will come with the chassis the motherboard
0:15
the power supply the cooling system and then you're on your own to figure out
0:19
the CPU memory uh graphics card storage
0:23
that kind of stuff outside of North America can be set as an entire kit
0:27
starting on the outside its appearance is pretty awesome it reminds me of some
0:31
like crazy robot helmet or something so that's pretty cool in terms of I/O on
0:35
the front you have a power button headphone and microphone ports on the
0:39
right hand side then on the top there is a optical drive eject button which we'll
0:44
get more into later on a big MSI shield
0:47
for the automatic overclocking of your CPU then on the left hand side we have
0:52
USB type-c that's three USB 3.1 type-c
0:56
and then two USB 3.0 ports one of them being a charging port and then on the
1:00
very bottom between the feet on the front there is an output for HDMI so if
1:05
someone wanted to have like a VR headset or something it would make sense to plug it in there then on the back the custom
1:10
motherboard has six USB 3.0 ports two USB 2.0 ports a PS2 Port which I
1:15
actually personally appreciate I like being all the plugin old keyboards an
1:19
Ethernet Jack Wireless AC connections
1:22
six audio jacks and then there's a really really short HDMI cable which is
1:27
a pass through that goes from your graphics card all the way the way to the front of the case jumping on to the
1:32
inside you can see that the graphics card is vertically mounted and that
1:35
there are three individual cooling zones so the graphics card is able to breathe
1:39
through the side panel of the case the CPU is actually cooled through a 90mm
1:44
radiator that's in the bottom of the case and ejects out of the bottom not
1:47
directly touching the power Supply's air and then the power supply has its own
1:51
cooling set in the very bottom of the Aus
1:55
X and then under the lid at the top you have access to 1 2 and 1/2 in Drive B a
2:00
two 3 and 1/2 in Drive bays and those are actually tucked under a Slimline
2:04
optical drive the motherboard supports 2 m.2 slots and two RAM slots so you can
2:09
get up to 32 gigs of RAM but they're split up so one RAM slot and one m.2
2:14
slot is in the main compartment of the case and one RAM slot and M and one m.2
2:18
slot are mounted on the back of the motherboard so that all you have to do is take off the left side panel and you
2:23
can access half of that stuff so you can easily upgrade the memory and the m.2
2:27
and I do know that the pre-built kits that will be outside of North America
2:31
will not have either of these populated so if you want to user upgrade your
2:34
system you can add some RAM and add some storage through m.2 very easily just by
2:39
taking off that one side panel and that's pretty much it in North America
2:43
you add whatever sixth generation skyl CPU you want you add what other graphics
2:47
card you want you add some RAM and some storage and you're pretty much good to
2:50
go in some like crazy robotic styled computer case called The agus X thanks
