 Today I have another system from Crazy Russians Crazy Lab. This is the Vesta 5350 OC and this is going to be a pre-overclocked system. Now we will be using the stock default Intel CPU cooler which has about 3 quarters of an inch of aluminum finish going on to cool that. No we're not going to do that. We're going to be using the Coolit Eco liquid cooling system. So this is a 120mm radiator with a copper heat exchanger as well as a built in pump. That is what we will be using. We will be installing it in the Fractal Design Define R3 and this is the system configuration we will be using. We have this over here for validation purposes only. The system will not come on a high speed PC tech station. So what do we have in terms of spec? Well this is the 5350. So somewhere in between the 5300 and the 5400 it is also the OC. So we will be pre-overclocking the CPU although we have not yet validated the overclock that we will be using so that's going to be to come in a video down the line. This will ship in its default configuration with 8GB of RAM, a GTX 560 Ti, a 2500K unlocked CPU. Remember for overclocking on the 1155 platform you do have to have a K series unlocked CPU or you are not going to be going very far. And what we also have here is down at the bottom we have an SSD. So that's a 40GB SSD. Now I have always been of the mind that 40GB on an SSD is not nearly enough for a boot partition. But what we are actually using and this is the Gigabyte Z68X UD3H-B3 right here is a Z68 board. So we are taking that 40GB SSD and we are using it as a cache using Intel SRT technology which is featured on this board for the Western Digital Caviar Blue. Oh, hold on. Sorry guys, Crazy Russian was going like this to me and I thought he meant like one moment please or you are number one or something along those lines but no that's not what he meant at all. What he actually meant was this is a WD Caviar Blue 1TB that we are using for the boot drive so we are using smart response technology to accelerate our boot drive without having to buy a larger capacity more expensive SSD to boot off that exclusively. Since we are down here actually we also have a Seasonic M12 II 620W power supply that is with 80 plus bronze efficiency and let's move up to the motherboard itself. So this is the Z68X UD3H-B3 and if that's a tongue twister then well you need to work on not being puzzled by easy tongue twisters I guess. But what it is is it's a Z68 board so that's what gives us support for Intel Smart Response Technology. What we also have support for and you are going to have to come around and look at the back of the board for this is onboard video with HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA and DVI as well as right there you see that little sticker that says Lucid Virtue so we can use Intel QuickPath technology I think that's what it's called right? QuickPath? I don't know what it's called but it's the one that makes your video transcoding go really really fast. Maybe it says on here Virtue Virtualization for the onboard GPU yes okay. Yeah see they don't say either. Either way it doesn't really matter. What you get is better efficiency at idle because you're able to use the onboard GPU whenever you're idling or doing anything 2D. You can use the onboard GPU yeah so there's the idle power consumption of the system 56 watts I know right? It's like almost nothing considering this is a full blown gaming machine. You can use the onboard GPU for video transcoding which it just kicks butt at it's way faster than using the CPU it's way faster than even using a high end dedicated GPU and then when you're gaming you can actually use the power of your dedicated GPU you can still output actually I think the optimized mode is to output through the dedicated GPU and then virtualize this one either way you can use this for gaming this for what it's good at and you win. You get better power consumption great gaming performance and great video transcoding performance. Now with the Z68 chipset yeah that's pretty that's those are the main features you get we also have support on this particular board which is an awesome value that's why we went with this one for Nvidia SLI technology as well as AMD Crossfire X so we can run up to two cards in SLI or Crossfire you can configure your system either way you want and that'll be running in 8x 8x mode which as we've tested in the past on my show does not give you any sort of a performance disadvantage versus running in 16x and 16x mode. The board also has dual bios which is nice that's a great overclocking friendly feature because it means that even if you screw something up when you're overclocking it on your own remember your NCIX PC warranty is not invalidated by overclocking so I mean this is going to come pre overclocked you can see if you can push it a little bit further if you want that's also good. You can recover to the main bios if you screw something up which is great you've also got a solid power delivery system especially for a board in this kind of a price bracket that's a 6 plus 1 phase power design with lower RDS MOSFETs and ferrite core chokes also solid capacitors and I think that pretty much covers everything to say about this little guy oh actually one more thing check this out so the front USB right here so your two front USB ports will be hooked up to the one with the red background and what that means is that it can deliver up to 40% more amperage on your front USB that means you can actually charge your iPad or even a tablet if you have the utility installed on your PC and you can charge it right off a USB port without using a power adapter from the wall so thank you for checking out my little introductory video of the Vesta 5350 OC and hopefully you guys will stick around and check out the video once we've got the overclock validated once we've got it all built up and once we have this thing priced out because I don't even have a price yet we're just making sure that it's going to be awesome first.
