- This is a nearly 1000 pound block of ice.
And inside there is a gaming PC which I need to get out.
So our friends over at OMEN wanted to sponsor a video
on their brand new 45L,
which apparently has a very cool cooling solution.
I wouldn't know until I get it out of the very
real block of ice.
(gentle electronic music)
(hand tapping)
- I got it, I got it.
(foot tapping)
- Ow, my ankle.
We gotta figure out how to get this thing out of the ice
without destroying the PC,
which thankfully at least is inside the box.
They were very clear in their instructions,
get it out or else.
Well they didn't say that,
but that was kind of the insinuation.
(crowbar taps)
Whoa!
Okay, so it actually does kinda come apart a little bit.
- Strong boy over here.
Hey wait, let me, let me.
- I've already gotten,
- No, you stay way.
you stay away.
- You aren't even hitting it that hard.
- You just gonna melt it with body heat?
(laughing)
- Oh God, don't push me over.
The kids that I could potentially have in the future
are not happy.
- Oh no, no.
They are happy, cold is better.
- Oh, then who is gonna...
- What is that?
- If anyone destroys our new office you have to pay for it.
- Unfortunately,
Austin didn't have ice the first time it happened but...
- Let's try to melt on the top.
Because I do kind of think the top is our best move.
- Okay, I know I've been joking.
- Yeah.
- This whole time.
- Yeah.
- But can I throw a little science here?
- Science, please.
- If you melt the top.
Oh right.
- It's gonna melt.
- Into the PC.
- And then well, no, that's a little
it's you're going to melt all this water
and it's gonna freeze up again.
- Here.
- Do it on the side.
(scratching ice)
- X marks the spot.
- Yeah, there we go.
(blow torch whooshing)
Oh, whoa. - Whoa!
- Oh, it's kinda working.
- It's actually working really well.
- So, you've definitely got like a pretty big dent there.
You gonna pull back for a second.
- Yeah.
- So that's a pretty decent size
but okay so, we know the blow torch works.
The problem now is they're just soaking all the way down
and refreezing on the bottom.
Look, see all the water just refroze down here.
- I got an idea.
- There's a lot of ideas here, we've made no progress.
- I brought something from home.
(tapping on ice)
- Hey, are you done - I need progress.
It just makes me feel better.
- I brought something from home.
If you drop it, we don't wanna break the PC though.
That's I guess that is in...
- It's not gonna break, Austin.
- All right, I'm going to get out of the way then.
- Could break the PC.
We'll do it from like six inches.
(thud)
(laughing)
- Well, I like how it spins though.
- Whoa, oh, it's cracked.
- Okay.
Let me try that.
- Whoa.
Okay, that was a good idea but hang on.
What does that crack give us?
Because this is still not.
- Dude look how deep that is though.
- Oh there, you can see the whole thing.
- Look at that, oh my God.
- I have an idea.
(drill whirring)
- Okay, I'm gonna pick just a clean hole.
- Okay you realize that it's just a Phillips head.
(all laughing)
- Yeah, what screw dude?
Oh, well, okay well.
- Okay but I have a better tool.
- Okay let's try a better idea.
- His name's Austin.
(drill whirring)
- Oh yo.
But actually though, it's cutting through like butter.
Okay. That actually is pretty cool.
(drill whirring)
- Oh whoa.
- Yo that's sweet.
Wait, let's get the slow motion of this.
(calm music)
So I do have a new technique, so if I start drilling.
(drill whirring)
- There look at that.
- Circular motion.
Okay, I did nick the box a little bit.
I need to be a little more careful.
- Oh, yeah there you need.
There's a little a chip in there.
- Okay, we need to start cleaning up.
- It's snowing. Wow
- That hasn't happened in so long, okay Grinch.
(laughing)
- No snow for you.
- We need to open the door.
Can someone holds the door open while I throw ice out.
- Are you?
- Testing out those new fillings that I got last week.
(laughing)
They work.
- We've done all the fun experiments,
but I want to actually get this PC out.
I wanna try
the Omen 45L.
I think the only way we're going to be able to do it without
it taking literally all day is to tag team drilling
and blow torching
to crack this front open
and we'll pull the PC out.
I think that's our move.
Okay, this is about to be bad.
- Okay.
(laughing)
- That actually was very helpful.
I think I could work with that.
(laughing)
Wow.
- Wait.
- What?
- I want to try.
I'm going to try.
- You try to kick it.
- Yeah.
- You're gonna hurt yourself. - It's okay.
- You're going to hurt yourself.
- It wasn't the first time.
- I'm backing up.
You shouldn't do this though.
- Well, what should I do? Roundhouse kick? Drop kick?
- You're going to break your foot.
You will actually break your foot.
- Actually.
- You will break your foot.
(ice cracking)
Lets go!
- I'm stronger than I thought.
(lo-fi music)
- I can't pick up the ice.
(laughing)
- So I guess let's break the sides now.
- Oh my god!
- We should have done this on the start Austin.
- Okay. Hang on.
There are lots of large pieces of ice that are gonna fall,
- So I can't move.
- You can move. Go ahead, go and take that aside.
I will hold this together.
- Oh that's heavy.
- So now that we have cleaned up the giant pile of ice and
water that was on our floor,
let's take a look at the actual OMEN box. You'll see.
It's actually in pretty good shape.
And you can see where it got a little too punchy with the
drill.
It's soaked through a little bit there on this side and on
this side, that's fine though.
I'm sure it's fine.
It's not wet in any way.
Although I will say it's cold.
Oh yo, this cryo chamber on top,
you can literally like fit your hand underneath here.
I've actually never seen a PC like this before.
Oh my God. There's a button.
The internal access is literally a button.
- That's actually really cool.
- Look at this
And inside it's powered by the 12th generation
Intel Core i9 processor.
So, because we forgot to bring a monitor.
We're going to bring this back to the old office
and plug it in
and see if it works.
But I'm sure it's fine.
It's totally dry. So I'm not worried.
So my friends, it is the OMEN 45L.
And now that it has been
successfully rescued from the block of ice.
There are a few interesting things to take a look at,
starting from the top. There is the cryo chamber.
So there's actually a couple of ways to get into it.
So there's a little panel on top,
but essentially the idea is that the AIO,
the CPU cooling is put inside of this sort of
attic of the case.
All of your CPU,
is being run the heat all up through here and it lives
inside the cryo chamber,
which means that no matter how hard you're cranking your
CPU, it shouldn't really affect the temperatures of the main
system itself. And vice versa.
If that 3090 inside is running at a hundred percent
pretty much, all of the cooling of the primarily
the main part of the
cooling inside the actual system is dedicated to cooling off
your graphics card.
- Very clever.
- Yeah, you've basically got
two completely different thermal zones.
Thus, the cryo chamber branding.
I've never seen anything like this.
I actually think it's a really good idea.
It's not only does it have the 12th generation
Intel Core i9 processor.
This is one of the higher end configurations really.
You also do have 32 gigs of ram.
You've got a pair of two terabyte WD black SSDs.
And of course, the RTX 3090,
now I'll give a special shout out to OMEN because look at the
size of the support for the 3090.
I don't think I've ever seen a bracket that big,
which especially considering how huge the card is.
It's nice to have a little bit of support there.
We've got three fans on the intake. One of the exhaust,
which honestly seems maybe like a little bit like overkill
concerning that the only thing that's really providing heat
in here is that graphics card. So they've already,
pre-run a SATA power and data cable all the way to the back
where there's 3.5 inch drives are.
So it would take you all of 30 seconds
to install a hard drive.
That is a nice touch.
So to really put the OMEN through its paces.
We have a game that Ken and I have been playing a lot lately
Forza Horizon 5, let's do a launch.
Shall we?
Oh God, this is so stupid fast.
So for context right now,
we're playing at 4K Ultra settings
at 108 frames per second.
So, you know, no big deal,
not like this thing is unbelievably ridiculously
overpowered.
We're cruising at 240 miles an hour and it's not even like
breaking a sweat.
- Yeah this computer really does make all of these
games look really good.
- I've literally done no optimization on this.
I just threw everything to max and ultra and then we're just
getting a 100 frames per second and it looks beautiful.
- Yeah. No.
(giggles)
- All right, hang on.
I've gotta get my feet underneath me.
- Drift master, you know,
you're supposed to drive on the road, right?
not the side-walk.
You could have carried that drift out a little longer.
- We should pay attention here.
Okay.
So, the OMEN 45L is definitely a unique value because
you're getting something which as far as I'm concerned,
I've never seen before with this cryo chamber cooling.
But of course if you want to know anything more
about the OMEN 45L
or potentially some of the other things.
Cause then this video is for the CES timeframe.
So there might be some other announcements,
but definitely be sure to go check out the link in the
description. And if you'll, excuse me,
I'm going to go beat Ken in drifting.
