 Origin PC sponsored this video and boy am I ever excited because inside this crate is Not just a tiny gaming PC But a tiny all AMD gaming PC that is among the most powerful Gaming rigs on the freaking planet So let's pop this puppy open. Oh, no, I stripped it The origin Kronos Good quality packing material in addition to the flippin crate It's small that's what she said and she said it in exactly that tone she was excited Oops yeah, you're right Yvonne's gonna get mad was that me? That couldn't have been me For accessories you've got a USB stick 32 gigs so you can actually use that on an ongoing basis Power cord we're gonna need that Extra power cables for the power supply those nice individually sleeved ones big fan of those cable ties, SATA cables, extra mounting hardware for the CPU cooler as well as a wireless antenna, but we're going full wired today ladies and gentlemen This looks like a custom case design I don't think I've ever seen even a chassis that this would have been derived from Very interesting It's not as small as previous Kronos designs that I've seen But I'm expecting the cooling on this thing to even meet the gamers Nexus standard of approval I mean, what's it made of? It's made of plastic with vents Which he wouldn't like but mesh mesh and more mesh followed by a touch of mesh not bad I Don't know if I would pay extra for the tempered glass version I mean with these kinds of fine meshes you can see through them anyway, and then they can also breathe That's good stuff I oh is very complete here. We've got type a and type a Along with an audio jack in the front and then all the USB 3 that most people could ever need and even a postcode In the back, so it's definitely an Asus ROG motherboard in there now. That's weird. Is that an 80 millimeter fan? Been a long time since I've seen one of those and then of course our RX 6800 XT graphics card is down here in the bottom including a type-c output So that is not really for VR anymore That's just kind of like a type-c display port the one thing that I feel like is kind of missing here is Origins optional metallic paint job would have been pretty sick in their pink color, but at 250 bucks I guess they wanted to send like a balls-to-the-wall config, but without anything Unnecessary for maximum gaming performance while I would think most people's first instinct would be to Immediately fire this thing up and play games on it. I actually really want to know how this case is laid out Internally, so let's crack it open Back here we've got the rear of our motherboard the intake for our power supply Which has ample access to nice fresh air through the mesh We've got our two and a half inch SSD as well as an RGB hub And then one of these little expander dude atom a jigs for LED strips I'm expecting to find RGB strips, but surprisingly there's nothing here on the Backside which would have actually looked really good Especially with a strip along the top with that mesh side panel. Oh, maybe just on the front Yeah, maybe they went full full frontal. You know with their lighting very Interesting I see some stuff So they've tucked all the cables kind of up here where the modular interface for the power supply is you can't really see Them under this mount for what looks like a 240 millimeter radiator You can see our graphics card is just plugged directly into the motherboard And then it looks like there's a little USB like internal USB header hub That they've double-sided taped over on the bottom there. What's really cool about this case is that look at this? Every panel comes off, so you have totally unrestricted access to the internal components that is as long as you uh, move the mount for the AIO radiator It really is a thing to behold when a system integrator designs a case because everything about it is like man This is so easy to work in like clearly someone at origin PC is like look I got sausage fingers. I need to be able to work on the computers. We sell boom There's your solution the motherboard alone costs as much as a ps5 It's a crosshair 8 impact, but this thing is loaded for bear. We got I think it's a 5950x 32 gigs of 3200 megahertz cl16 memory We've got a 750 watt power supply check this thing out This is like a special card that takes two m.2 slots and you can like mount them to this thing and stick them out of the board because Mini ITX is just too small to put as much expansion as they wanted to pack onto it and then of course as I mentioned a Radeon 6800 XT There's no doubt. It's not as small as some previous chronos's or chroni or whatever But if you know that you're going to be dealing with a generation of hardware that can have graphics cards that can consume up to 400 watts and CPUs that when overclocked can hit 150 watts 200 even 250 watts I can see why they would have taken this approach and just gone. Okay, you look you know what? cooling first Then we'll deal with everything else I think the front logo is the power button. Oh my god. This thing is So very RGB. I'm still not ready to jump into games though because there's a feature that I have been itching to try that is exclusive To systems just like this one for the time being and it requires some BIOS configuration first I'm just going to go into boot and make sure that I have CSM disabled So for whatever reason you install your OS with CSM enabled you're actually going to have to go back completely reinstall your OS Then I'm going to pop into advanced PCI subsystem settings turn on above 4g decoding and ah, yes resize Bar support we're going to turn that to auto basically what this feature does amd brands It has smart access memory and it's supported on their 5000 series cpus with their 6000 series GPUs is it allows the cpu to have access to the entire up to 16 gigabytes of video memory All at once for what is supposed to be a significant real world gaming performance improvement now this feature Has existed on linux for years now, but it's just making its way to windows and can give you anywhere from a 0 to even a 5 to 7 FPS improvement just from allowing the cpu to access more than just a 256 megabyte chunk of memory at a time. So why don't we start by Just checking the amd drivers to see if there's any indication that smart access memory is on Nope, there's absolutely nothing in here to indicate that it's working So apparently the only way to find out is to just benchmark with and without it enabled and see if you notice a difference fortunately We are perfectly well equipped to do Just that as I suspected this thing is equipped with a 5950x 16 core zen 3 cpu So i'm expecting this gaming performance to be Pretty darn sick regardless of smart access memory. We're kicking things off with forza horizon 4 running at 4k Completely cranked with the one exception being we've got motion blur set to short because quite frankly it looks better HDR is on dynamic optimization is off and we are ready to freaking benchmark Y'all want to continue? We've already got our numbers without smart access memory So now we're going to see how much of a performance uplift we get man. This is a pretty game already And i've only seen the loading screen so far. There's no ray traced shadows in this game, but that doesn't keep the shadows from looking absolutely Sick There's a hot air balloon above us and the only reason I know is because it's in it's reflected in the rear windshield I haven't seen it dip below 100 frames per second Absolutely Maxed out so at night you can actually see the shadows of the headlights Get affected by the other cars and everything Look at that. Look at that. Ah How do we do compared to your previous numbers? Let's see that's uh 12 fps more Not bad. Oh, wow, that's like almost a 10 improvement Yeah And the minimum's 10 fps more Which is a 10 improvement. Yeah Son And it's not even loud All amd is starting to look like a thing, eh? Yeah, of course performance and noise are only part of the picture We want to know what the thermals are like. So if we all tab out of our game, we can see Whoa GPUs running at 97 degrees But don't get too scared off by this because what's happening here is you are looking at the absolute hottest part of the die That's the t-junction and you won't experience any thermal throttling until you hit about 110 degrees So if we look in hardware info, we actually see the average temperature of the die Which is more like what we'd expect in the 80 to 83 degree range What this fireball is doing is It allows them to push the card as hard as they can without risking damage because there's a hot spot somewhere that they weren't able to measure In borderlands 3 we've got everything cranked to ultra We're running at 4k. We've got hdr enabled and Wow It's almost like too good. This art style doesn't lend itself to absolutely perfect Crisp Renter rake in this way like it like it almost looks like wrong Yeah, I actually thought it looked weird too. I like the ps2 look more. Yeah That is so funny and still managing 60 fps 64.25 and frame time millisecond average is 15.56 How'd we do? Did we beat it? Smart access memory for the win? By 2.25 frames 2.25 fps. Okay, that's not much but that's 3 percent If someone was like, okay, come on I got three extra percent fps in here. You want it? You want it boy? You take it. Yeah, I would let's look at the minimums as well 54.59 is our 1 percentile fps so that's 3 and a tiny bit fps more wow, so that's another Like 6 improvement. Yeah, not bad. We've got a we've got an fps emergency going on They're testing the fire alarm doesn't matter. The point is we averaged 104 and our 95th percentile was 82 That's the same That's the same. Okay. So do I still have borderlands running in the background? Nope, this system just straight up don't care if you got another game running in the background I guess that's probably why amd doesn't mention shadow the tomb raider in their literature Dirt 5 they do though. So let's go ahead and run this puppy cranked up man forza looks So much better than this game Like to be clear this is fine, it's good it's pretty but like this is not good lighting Yeah, but look at these like window reflections and stuff. Like it's just way less exciting Very small improvement for average fps, but our 1 percent lows are What was it 72 before? Yeah. Okay. So that's another four to five percent improvement I'll take it Red Dead Redemption 2 wasn't on the list Of games to benchmark from origin pc and actually we didn't run it without smart access memory I just want to see what this puppy can do so i've got it cranked to absolutely the maximum You know what the best part of this is running at 60 plus fps Absolutely cranked and this thing is barely making a peep It's definitely kicking off heat That's happening That sound Just a touching dp coil one that you're gonna get pretty close very impressive for An all red gaming pc. Wow those horse Motion captures are pretty good. Hold on. Let's go somewhere where there's not snow. Let's see if the animations change Look at that. See the horse stops high stepping and starts just stepping normally once you get onto the cobblestone here That's cool. The chronos is optimized for the game So that's cool. The chronos is optimized first and foremost for gaming with parts that were chosen specifically for their gaming grunt You can also customize the heck out of these machines Not just the core components but even custom paint as well and each purchase includes origin's 247 365 technical support if you need it and you can check it out at the link in the video description So I hope you guys enjoyed it. Thanks to origin for sponsoring this video. We will see you Next time if you guys want to check out another sweet origin pc We did a well, you could say this build was ahead of its time Showcase of a cyberpunk themed one that they built and sent over Quite a while ago when they were expecting the game to come soon
