Digital hey guys we're here at the zman suite checking out the reserator 3 Max
0:13
duel I know some of you will remember the reserator 3 max review I had from a
0:16
while ago where it was thrown under the bus a little bit but we'll have to see how this one performs in the office
0:20
later on in a later date it has a few definitely redeeming features first and
0:25
foremost there's removable fans and the cable management for those fans is
0:28
actually quite cool it runs through the middle of each of the 120 mm sides and
0:33
gets cable managed behind it in a little space nice little pocket it's got there
0:36
which is actually pretty neat and then it also has center mounted tubes
0:41
something You' seen in a lot of builds is people will turn their radiator around and then the tubing has to go
0:44
over their RAM or if it's on the other side there's way too much tubing or
0:48
whatever happens there so it's actually kind of cool because you don't have to cross way over top of the motherboard
0:52
which is nice for features other than that it's fairly standard Fair other
0:55
than the shrouds on the fans and it has the same mounting mechanism that it had
0:59
in the zman reserator 3 Max originally
1:03
next up we have the z15 or z15 depending on where you're from this one has a few
1:07
cool features so the control panel on the top uh aside from standard fair
1:10
being us two USB 3.0 2 USB 2.0 a hard
1:14
drive LED reset button power button mic and headphone ports it also has some
1:18
interesting fan control so you have your normal not too surprising dials for
1:23
front rear and top but one cool thing about these is you can completely turn
1:26
the fans off a lot of them you just turn them down these ones you can completely
1:29
turn them off which is quite cool and the coolest part is right now I have it
1:34
in what I like to call and one of the other guys here likes to call Lamborghini mode where it's all flared
1:39
up and looks super awesome and is a little bit flarey and you can turn it
1:43
down so if if you're gaming you can have it in this mode and if your mom comes
1:47
and uses the computer and goes on Facebook she can have her nice calm sedan so she can calm down and have a
1:52
cool day and it's fine and everything's down it's not too super flare it's not
1:55
out there it's okay one of the other cool things too though is that you can
1:59
have it on auto based on temperature settings so 35° or 45° both Celsius now
2:06
if it gets above either one of those thresholds it will then open the top go
2:10
into Lamborghini mode which is not the name for it but it'll go into Lamborghini mode and just it's cool how
2:16
that's Auto and it's cool how that works just so seamlessly so if you had it on
2:19
auto and your mom went on Facebook it would automatically go into sedan mode
2:22
which is also not the name for it and then if you decide to start gaming it
2:26
would automatically go up if the system got that hot and finally we have the
2:29
zalar the front camera on the zbar is 720p the rear camera on the zbar is 480p
2:34
and that's pretty good resolution but they have a new one coming up at some
2:38
point in time which is going to have a front camera of 1080p which will be
2:41
really nice and a rear camera of we're not entirely sure yet it has quite a few
2:44
features that is really nice for evidence building first off is the rear
2:48
camera which I've already stated but then you can also plug in a GPS which
2:51
will state how fast you're going and where you were on a Google map so if you're reviewing the information from
2:57
the zbar and trying to present it to someone say you could see see the front
3:00
camera the rear camera your speed and your GPS location which is absolutely
3:05
awesome the camera also has a gyro in it so it can figure out if there was a
3:08
collision so say you're parked you're not in your car it's not currently
3:12
recording and someone Rams into you it will take some pictures and start
3:15
recording so that you can figure out who that was so even if you're not in the
3:18
car you can still build evidence if there was an accident thank you for watching our zman content if you want to
