NCIXPC - IG-96F SLI ft. CoolerMaster Cosmos SE Gaming System

**NC PC System Review**

We recently had the opportunity to take a closer look at the NC PC system, a custom-built rig that boasts an impressive list of features and components. As we delve into the details of this system, it's clear that the manufacturer has spared no expense in delivering a high-performance machine that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning enthusiasts.

One of the first things that stands out about this system is its sleek and clean design. The case itself is a marvel of engineering, with a spacious interior that allows for easy cable management. This attention to detail is evident throughout the build, as every component has been carefully chosen to ensure maximum airflow and thermal efficiency. The punch-out on the side panel is a nice touch, providing additional ventilation and allowing for easier cable routing.

Moving inside the case, we find a beautifully appointed interior that is sure to delight any enthusiast. The motherboard, in particular, catches the eye with its stunning matte black PCB and elegant red accents. This is a board that says "I mean business" - it's clear that Gigabyte has outdone themselves once again with their latest design. And with 16 gigs of Kingston HyperX Beast memory running at a blistering 2133 megahertz, this system is primed for some serious performance.

But the real showstopper here is the graphics card. Two Nvidia GeForce GTX 770s are on hand, both of which have been overclocked to provide maximum performance. These cards are also SLI-capable, making them perfect for those who want to future-proof their rig without breaking the bank. The Windforce coolers that accompany these cards are no slouches either - capable of dissipating up to 450 watts of heat, they're more than up to the task of keeping these high-performance GPUs in check.

Of course, no system is complete without a solid storage solution. In this case, we find a Kingston HyperX 3K 240GB SSD and a Seagate 2TB hard drive, providing ample storage for both your operating system and your games. And with the inclusion of two Bit Phoenix modding accessories - specifically their Alchemy LED strips - this system is sure to look every inch as impressive as it performs.

But what really sets this system apart is the sheer value that comes with it. For $2400, you get not just a machine that's capable of delivering top-notch performance, but also an entire package of goodies that make the experience even more enjoyable. We're talking about two copies of the GeForce holiday bundle - Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, and Batman: Arkham Origins - as well as a $100-off coupon for an Nvidia Shield, which makes this system a compelling value even without these extras.

Finally, it's worth noting that NC TechTips is committed to providing exclusive deals and promotions with every purchase of an NC PC system. As you add your chosen peripherals and other accessories to your shopping cart, you'll find that all sorts of goodies are waiting for you - from keyboards and mice to speakers and headphones, there's no shortage of cool stuff to kit yourself out with.

In conclusion, the NC PC system is a true powerhouse of a machine that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning enthusiasts. With its stunning design, blistering performance, and unbeatable value, this system is an absolute must-have for anyone in the market for a new rig. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out on your computer-building journey, the NC PC system is an investment that's sure to pay dividends for years to come.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwelcome to another ncpc systems Edition guys this is actually one of the best looking systems we've done on this show this is the IG 96f SLI which is of course a completely self-explanatory product name but just in case you didn't follow along that is for Intel GeForce it's from the extreme 9 performance class it is the six machine of this class released the CPU cycle it is a full tower that's the F and the SLI I hope is pretty self-explanatory are actually two graphics cards inside this system running in SLI mode so given that this system is in the highest performance tier and is actually designed to outperform the GTX 780 Ti of course it comes with a bit of a price tag on it it's $23.99 but it's built around the latest High components from Cooler Master gigabyte and Intel and it does succeed in its goal of outperforming a GTX 780ti which is a $600 plus graphics card so for the exterior we've actually got the new Cooler Master Cosmos SE this addresses pretty much every issue I had with the original Cosmos 2 it has that same look to it with kind of a curvy front and then these nice reinforced bars for moving it around or lifting it or whatever else it's much smaller than the Cosmos 2 which is great that is a hug huge plus because the Cosmos 2 was just plain difficult to move both in terms of its size and in terms of its weight and it doesn't fit that much less Hardware than the Cosmos 2 that was my other problem with the Cosmos 2 was it was large but you actually couldn't put that much stuff in it in terms of Radiators so this one is very efficiently laid out so here at the front we've got three 5 and a/4 inch Bays which are of course empty Optical drives are very optional these days down here we have a removable filter with mesh where you can access the two front 120 mm fans on the right hand side we have just a plain side panel with a punch out for extra room for cable management so you can see you can get your cables that I mean they've stylized it right but they're they're hiding the ability for you to get your 24 pin cable up to where it needs to go which is the thickest Cable in the back without that causing any issues closing your case moving up to the top we've got two USB 2.0 ports two USB 3.0 ports microphone and headphone Jacks as well as a power switch a reset switch and look at that lighting control built right into the case so you can use that to turn the front fan LEDs on and off it's important to bear in mind though that guys features like that don't always work if you do decide to replace the fans the good news is that Cooler Master ship's decent fans with their cases so there's less need to do that the rest of the top of the case is taken up by more cooling mesh and the left hand side is pretty much dominated by a very nice looking window so that's a bit of a a bit of a smoked window it's not super dark or anything and it looks quite nice with the blue LED lighting that's inside the case the tower sits on a couple more nice solid metal feet that actually have rubber grips on the bottom of them so they're not going to slide around or anything like that and finally IO at the back is six USB 3.0 ports a PS2 keyboard mouse combo Port all the display outputs you could possibly want DVI HDMI display port VGA Optical audio out two e ports gab ethernet 7.1 audio and then courtesy of the two more graphics cards we have an additional 4 DVI one HDMI and or two h2i and two display port however the thing with all that is because you're running an SLI you will be limited to three displays in 3D Vision surround with an auxiliary display you just have more Graphics horsepower to throw at the problem that you might give it not that I'm saying games are a problem I mean they're fun not problem fun problem and and of course a$ 2,000 plus doll system without beefy internals is not going to be that appealing so once we get inside we find wow that is a clean layout so there is so much room back here for cable management that they probably could have gotten away with not doing that punch out on the side panel but they did so you can see that that allows all of the wires to be run extremely cleanly you can hardly see any of them although part of that too is because of the black interior of the case and the modular black case cables on the V series 850 W power supply make it kind of difficult to pick them out now one thing to note guys is that those 5 in 1/4 inch base are being occupied by the Dual 120 mm radiator up here in the top this is cooler Master's Iceberg Prestige 240 l so the L refers to the thickness of the radiator and the iceberg series is actually almost a unique item in the market out there so it is an upgradable liquid cooler so it has a micro fin CPU block down there it has a pump that's integrated into the CPU block unit and check this out replaceable fittings so these are using 38 in ID 1/2 in od uh tubes and fittings and then you can actually add more components to it in the future if you want including more RADS graphics card water blocks all that kind of cool stuff love this approach very similar to what Swift Tech's done with their all-in-one liquid coolers we've also got a gigabyte z87x ud4h motherboard gigabyte in the last few Generations has done such a great job of their Aesthetics with the matte black PCB nice red accents and of course it's a gigabyte board so you know thumbs up there there's 16 gigs of Kingston hyperx Beast memory so that's running at 2133 megahertz so remember guys in games like Battlefield 4 well I think Battlefield 4 is the only one so far but in Battlefield 4 you do get a tangible performance improvement from faster memory so thumbs up for that as well and then we've got two gigabyte GTX 77 2 gig cards these are overclocked cards in SLI they both have wind Force coolers so these are coolers capable of dissipating up to 450 watts of heat however they are open coolers so that is to say they don't exhaust all the heat out the back of the case you need to make sure that you have adequate ventilation inside your system if you want to correctly leverage cards like this and the good news is that this case does happen to have that those two 120 mm fans have no restrictions they are able to move air freely onto those graphics cards keeping them extremely Cool Storage is taken care of by a Kingston hyperx 3K 240 gig SSD and a Seagate 2 tbte extra storage drive and the lighting is handled by bit Phoenix modding accessories so these are their Alchemy LED strips which are excellent quality I've actually had bad experiences with other LED strips whereas bit Phoenix's the LEDs have been of a very consistent quality and they don't tend to to die so kudos to them for that that's why we use them so guys for your $2400 investment you get all of this and two copies of the GeForce holiday bundle you get Splinter Cell Blacklist Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag and Batman Arkham Origins it's really a shame that all of those are predominantly single player games because otherwise I would suggest that you can give them to a friend and then play with them but instead you can give them to a friend and then sit next to each other and play them at the same time perhaps you know you could compete in terms of you know getting more Riddler trophies in Batman Arkham Origins or whatever the case I haven't played Arkham Origins but I'm assuming there are Riddler trophies because I played the previous two and they both had lots of them so anyway you get those bundles you can also get a great deal on an Nvidia Shield because it comes with GTX 770s you can get a $100 off an Nvidia Shield which makes it 200 bucks and a pretty darn compelling value and I think that pretty much wraps it up as always guys there are peripheral deals as well as other exclusive deals that go along with ncic systems once you add them to your shopping cart those are going to show up and you can kit yourself out with not only the tower but also you know monitor keyboard mouse speakers headphones all that kinds of cool stuff thank you for checking out this NC PC episode on
