- I just don't really have a clear idea
of what I'm looking at here.
This apparently is the Maingear turbo.
Now it says in my document
that this is supposed to be a small form factor gaming PC,
but this is an awfully big box,
and when I pick the thing up,
it is shockingly heavy for the size,
even being the size that it is.
Do a little openey-open and see how it goes.
Oh God.
Oh, interesting.
We've got a box within a box.
Holy crap! What is in it?
Well, one thing that's not in it for sure is a setup guide
and accessories.
Oh, why indestructible sticker? Why?
No. I don't want to know.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thanks Shawn and Carson, for quality assuring this computer.
Oh my God, if these are actual pictures of this machine,
this thing is going to be sick.
Important stuff.
Okay, extra modular cables, WiFi antenna, extra screws.
Yep, that is important stuff.
Oh wow, that's great.
Not only do they include the parts you need
if you want to upgrade your system,
they even have an anti-static wrist strap.
Oh and a mouse pad.
I'm not sure what you're saying here Maingear.
Are you saying that it's for professional gaming
or that you're just pro gaming?
Like, you know, you're not anti gaming.
Hard to say.
It's possible that I lied, Brandon.
I would like a knife.
Oh my goodness, it's so heavy.
This has got to be one of the highest density computers
I have ever opened and-
Well, there's your problem.
It's not full of computer parts,
it's just full of metal.
That's why it's so heavy.
And it really is actually small.
Wow. Neat.
Smells like paint shop, which makes sense
because it is a Maingear.
Don't worry that smell goes away and then it's just left
looking all sleek automotive finishey.
Oh!
Not bad Maingear,
not bad.
That is a pretty darn fine paint job.
Now apparently this is their own chassis design,
so it's got an aluminum outer shell
and it is server grade steel for the interior
and wow, let's go ahead and figure out
how to get this panel off
so you can poke around at it a little.
So this top one comes off.
All right, that gives access
to the dual 120 millimeter radiator on the top.
It's not obvious to me how to get the side panel off though.
- [Brandon] Are there instructions?
- Instructions Brandon. See, I figured it out.
Instructions. You think so little of me.
These gold bits power fittings look absolutely incredible.
Now this system,
so this is the Maingear turbo, starts at $1500,
for this configuration, which has four terabytes
of NVME storage.
It's got 12 processing cores,
so it's a 3900XT, I believe processor in there.
So that's the new slightly faster 3900X.
It's got a 2080 Ti RTX graphics up the wazoo
and I think it's got like, either 32 or 64 gigs of RAM,
and apparently there's a hard drive hidden away
in here somewhere.
Western Digital, red 10 terabyte hard drive back there.
That's a 750 watt SFX power supply.
It's gonna run you, I don't know, about $6500.
But hey, it's got full hardline liquid cooling,
what do you want from me?
You can't put a price tag on full hardline liquid cooling.
Well, you can, it's $6500. Okay?
RGB logo in the front.
If the imagery on the website is anything to go by,
we're definitely going to try that out in a sweet minute.
Here in cable management,
I would say that's a good solid B+.
It's tight, but it's not really especially hidden.
They are using individually sleeved wires
for the power supply, so that does look pretty nice.
And honestly from the, like the business side,
I would say it's more like an A.
You really can't even see any of the cables
because of the way they've got the graphics card
sitting on this PCI Express riser over here,
kind of blocking most of the ugly parts
of the motherboard,
and then they've got this like crazy town reservoir here
and they've actually got some kind of additive
in the coolant that's a-
I guess it's just a black dye
because it gives it kind of like
a blue look around the the fringes here.
I mean, should we fire it up now?
- [Brandon] 100%.
- I think it's time to fire it up. Okay.
Before I turn it on though, I need to turn you guys on
with one of my classic segues.
Govee sponsored this video
to tell you guys about their dream color LED lights.
They used their RGB IC technology to get vivid colors
on their light strips and the lights can sync
with both music and game audio
offering an immersive audio visual experience.
They're compatible with Google Assistant,
Alexa and the Govee Home app.
And you can follow Govee on Facebook or Instagram to enter
for a chance to win one of their RGB IC light straps.
(calm music)
- [Brandon] Wow.
- Maingear knows they're like not getting this back. Right?
Do you think they know that?
All right, you can hear the air bubbles
working their way out of the system.
They would have been kind of shuffled around
during shipping a little bit.
Holy Schnikes! Is This Really?
Yep, it is.
So the radiator instead of just, you know,
straight run down here to a right angle fitting
in over here,
they have actually got this whole acrylic piece right here
that takes the outputs from the radiator
and brings them over so they can both come straight
over the motherboard into the reservoir here.
That is freaking unreal.
Also, did I say dual 120 millimeter fans for the front?
Because these are clearly 140 millimeter fans.
That's my bad.
And I was a little worried about
just dual 120 millimeter fans
having enough cooling capability
for a system of this caliber,
because I'm actually having some issues with my machine
which is a similar size and similar spec actually
and also water-cooled.
This is in and then out?
Oh yeah, hold on.
Okay, so I think I've got some idea of what the flow is.
So it goes in here. Shwoopty-shwoop.
Out here,
in here,
out here,
and then in here,
out here.
So note, the whole thing is serial, not parallel
as far as I can tell.
I took advantage of my lunch
to throw the panels back on
so we can get a realistic look
at how this cooling system performs
in a real world heavy load.
So this is Doom Eternal,
running at 1440p, ultra nightmare details,
and I gotta say I am pretty impressed.
The fan ramps up a little bit when we're loading levels,
so it seems like their fan curve
may be tied into CPU load or CPU temps,
but then while gaming, you can barely hear it.
Settles right in.
That is what custom water cooling will do for you,
you won't necessarily get better temps
with a solution like this.
Remember, this is a small form factor machine,
but you can definitely expect a better combination
of temps and noise.
So we're looking at anywhere from 200 to 250
frames per second.
Do I need to remind you guys
this is an ultra nightmare settings?
That's crazy town.
Oh, did they just-
I hate those guys so much.
And I tell you I have used
a lot of sick gaming rigs in my day,
but this is right up there,
not just in terms of the performance, which is great,
but in terms of the experience, it is so quiet.
That's crazy.
Let's see what the temps are like though.
Yeah, so like I said,
temps, yeah, don't necessarily expect the best.
We are up around 85 degrees
but of course we could turn those fans up higher
if we wanted to get better temperatures
at the expense of some of this quiet operation.
Our GPU on the other hand,
I have pretty good expectations for it.
Yep. Sitting around 60 degrees despite again,
Doom Eternal ultra nightmare 1440p.
Ultra nightmare all the way.
Freaking crazy!
Oh, that is some warm air blowing out of the top there.
If it was me, I'd probably tune it
to be a little bit louder,
and ramp those fans up a little bit sooner
but if I was going to use this machine,
I'd be using it in my living room,
where it wouldn't be right next to me.
If it was right next to me, this is a great experience
even if it does mean that water is running pretty warm.
Let's take a look at what kind of pre installed junk
they've got on here.
All this stuff I'm moving to the right
is stuff that I put on it.
So basically just AMD ryzen Master,
which is a tuning utility.
Actually, this would work with one esmes'-
I forget what he changed the name to
but it's like an auto-overclocking utility.
You need to have ryzen master to run it anyway,
so, it's probably something you'd install,
especially if you wanted to use that.
We've also got RS so that we can adjust our RGB.
Yes, I did promise there was RGB in here,
so right now, apply.
Is it rainbowing now?
- [Brandon] It is.
- Nice.
- [Brandon] It looks pretty good actually, very smooth.
- Yeah? That looks sick.
I think that might look even better,
- [Brandon] Yeah
- If you're into like, tacky, gaudy rainbow
all over the place,
which I might be.
I'm gonna make it faster. Oh yeah.
Whoa! This thing is so cool.
Clearances are so tight, like can you see how this fitting
is resting on the top of the graphics card block?
No wonder they had it packed in twp boxes.
Other than that, just GeForce experience
which you can hate me for it all you want,
but I actually kind of like.
There's really not much else for me to say at this point,
this is a sick machine basically bloatware free,
it looks great.
The performance of the cooling system
is absolutely fantastic,
and as long as you've got a cool
multiple thousands of dollars burning a hole in your pocket,
then I recommend this instead of a PlayStation 5
or an Xbox series x.
If you have a more human budget,
then well, you can always, you know, watch this channel,
and watch us check cool stuff like this
and live vicariously through us.
That's another alternative. Make sure you're subscribed.
Definitely not cheap.
