 Welcome to Linus Tech Tips at CES 2013. Our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair, maker of quality PC components and peripherals. Our trusted storage partner is Seagate Technology, and our trusted networking partner is Linksys. Here in the MSI suite, we've got, what I thought was a pretty cool little demo. You have a bit of a history of the MSI Twin Frozr series cooler. So this is the Twin Frozr. It looks like a dog, quite frankly, sorry man. Twin Frozr 2 added looks, it added more dense fins, and it, well, performed a little better. Okay. Twin Frozr 3 adds propeller blades. So here we're actually improving the performance of the cooler over the previous generation products in addition to, again, looking better. And Twin Frozr 4, Alex from MSI is joining us. Why don't you tell us what you guys added with Twin Frozr 4, which is the current generation Twin Frozr. Twin Frozr 4 actually a slightly different design on the shroud, little bit more aggressive, but the biggest change was we added a, the dust removal technology, which allows the fans to spin backwards on system startup. And the biggest thing is, is that every generation of Twin Frozr, we keep adding something to the design of the graphics card to improve. And in reality, if you're buying a Twin Frozr series graphics cards, you're not paying for anything extra, like a special technology, whatever. We just keep adding something to it from a previous generation. Okay, so tell us about this system over here. So this features MSI technology inside it. This is an ITX gaming machine. What the heck is this thing? This is actually done by one of our partners, iBuyPower. This is the Revolt chassis. It's a mini ITX based system, very small as you can see, very compact. The system is standing upright, but you can also set it, you can set it on its side. And it's got a full size GTX 680 graphics card inside of it, along with a custom. You can actually see that right there. Yeah, you can actually see it. It uses a PCIe bridge to have the graphics card mounted on the side. That's very, very cool. So I wanna give you an angle of the back of it here, sort of, so you can see that the motherboard and the graphics card are mounted in sort of a, sort of a strange way. So they've designed this chassis to be used with a bridge and you pretty much can't install a graphics card in it without that then, I suppose. Yes. Very cool. Okay, and what's that other system you've got over there past the MSI mechanical keyboards? Yeah, the MSI mechanical keyboards, but this is the Cooler Master Half XP case, more meant for like, you know, open bench kind of testing. But the inside we have our Z77 Mpower motherboard, as well as a GTX 680 Lightning graphics card, and also the Vexier Mpower Edition memory kit. And of interest is that all these three components match color-wise. They're all black in sync with yellow accents. And very clean system setup. I mean, this is, if you're building a Mpower-based, Z77 Mpower-based system, this is how you would want to set it up. Yeah, this looks gorgeous, actually. I'm gonna tweet that right now. So next we're gonna do the MSI system section of their booth. Now I did make a slight mistake. We're not going to see systems just yet. We're gonna wrap up with a few motherboards on the component side, then we'll move over to systems. It's gonna be a separate video. So what do you guys got here? We've got a Z77 ITX. We've got a value Z77 board that has Thunderbolt on board. And tell us about this guy right here in the middle. This is actually a Z77, not Z77. This is actually a X79, sorry, gaming motherboard. This is gonna be the X79A GD45 gaming. The name actually might not be gaming when it's announced, but for the time being, it's being called gaming. It's a refresh of the X79 platform in advance of a new processor that's coming out towards the middle of this year. 2013 and this is- Not that you can give us any details on that, right? No, not that I can give you any details, but you can use your imagination as to what the next version of the code name for socket 2011 CPU is concerned. But it is a new color scheme and it is gonna be one of several refresh boards that we will have for the X79 chipset. Okay, so guys, don't forget, don't miss any of our coverage of CES 2013.
