The ICE BLOCK Gaming PC

**A Look at the Actual OMEN Box**

You'll see that it's actually in pretty good shape. And you can see where it got a little too punchy with the drill. It's soaked through a little bit there on this side and on this side, that's fine though. I'm sure it's fine. It's not wet in any way. Although I will say it's cold.

**Cryo Chamber on Top**

Oh yo, this cryo chamber on top, you can literally like fit your hand underneath here. I've actually never seen a PC like this before. Oh my God. There's a button. The internal access is literally a button. That's actually really cool.

**Inside the OMEN 45L**

Look at this. And inside it's powered by the 12th generation Intel Core i9 processor. So, because we forgot to bring a monitor. We're going to bring this back to the old office and plug it in and see if it works. But I'm sure it's fine. It's totally dry. So I'm not worried.

**Key Features of the OMEN 45L**

So my friends, it is the OMEN 45L. And now that it has been successfully rescued from the block of ice. There are a few interesting things to take a look at, starting from the top. There is the cryo chamber. So there's actually a couple of ways to get into it. So there's a little panel on top, but essentially the idea is that the AIO, the CPU cooling is put inside of this sort of attic of the case.

**Thermal Zones**

All of your CPU is being run the heat all up through here and it lives inside the cryo chamber, which means that no matter how hard you're cranking your CPU, it shouldn't really affect the temperatures of the main system itself. And vice versa. If that 3090 inside is running at a hundred percent pretty much, all of the cooling of the primarily the main part of the cooling inside the actual system is dedicated to cooling off your graphics card.

**Unique Features**

Very clever. You've basically got two completely different thermal zones. Thus, the cryo chamber branding. I've never seen anything like this. I actually think it's a really good idea. It's not only does it have the 12th generation Intel Core i9 processor. This is one of the higher-end configurations really.

**Specifications**

You also do have 32 gigs of ram. You've got a pair of two terabyte WD black SSDs. And of course, the RTX 3090. Now I'll give a special shoutout to OMEN because look at the size of the support for the 3090. I don't think I've ever seen a bracket that big, which especially considering how huge the card is.

**Testing the OMEN**

So to really put the OMEN through its paces. We have a game that Ken and I have been playing a lot lately, Forza Horizon 5, let's do a launch. Shall we? Oh God, this is so stupid fast. So for context right now, we're playing at 4K Ultra settings at 108 frames per second.

**Gameplay**

We're cruising at 240 miles an hour and it's not even like breaking a sweat. Yeah, this computer really does make all of these games look really good. I've literally done no optimization on this. I just threw everything to max and ultra and then we're just getting a hundred frames per second and it looks beautiful.

**Conclusion**

Oh yeah, hang on. I've gotta get my feet underneath me. Drift master, you know, you're supposed to drive on the road, right? Not the side-walk. You could have carried that drift out a little longer. We should pay attention here.

**Final Thoughts**

Okay. So, the OMEN 45L is definitely a unique value because you're getting something which as far as I'm concerned, I've never seen before with this cryo chamber cooling. But of course if you want to know anything more about the OMEN 45L or potentially some of the other things. Cause then this video is for the CES timeframe. So there might be some other announcements, but definitely be sure to go check out the link in the description.

And if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go beat Ken in drifting.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- This is a nearly 1000pound block of ice.And inside there is a gamingPC which I need to get out.So our friends over at OMENwanted to sponsor a videoon their brand new 45L,which apparently has avery cool cooling solution.I wouldn't know until Iget it out of the veryreal block of ice.(gentle electronic music)(hand tapping)- I got it, I got it.(foot tapping)- Ow, my ankle.We gotta figure out how toget this thing out of the icewithout destroying the PC,which thankfully atleast is inside the box.They were very clearin their instructions,get it out or else.Well they didn't say that,but that was kind of the insinuation.(crowbar taps)Whoa!Okay, so it actually doeskinda come apart a little bit.- Strong boy over here.Hey wait, let me, let me.- I've already gotten,- No, you stay way.you stay away.- You aren't even hitting it that hard.- You just gonna melt it with body heat?(laughing)- Oh God, don't push me over.The kids that I couldpotentially have in the futureare not happy.- Oh no, no.They are happy, cold is better.- Oh, then who is gonna...- What is that?- If anyone destroys our newoffice you have to pay for it.- Unfortunately,Austin didn't have ice thefirst time it happened but...- Let's try to melt on the top.Because I do kind of thinkthe top is our best move.- Okay, I know I've been joking.- Yeah.- This whole time.- Yeah.- But can I throw a little science here?- Science, please.- If you melt the top.Oh right.- It's gonna melt.- Into the PC.- And then well, no, that's a littleit's you're going to melt all this waterand it's gonna freeze up again.- Here.- Do it on the side.(scratching ice)- X marks the spot.- Yeah, there we go.(blow torch whooshing)Oh, whoa.- Whoa!- Oh, it's kinda working.- It's actually working really well.- So, you've definitely gotlike a pretty big dent there.You gonna pull back for a second.- Yeah.- So that's a pretty decent sizebut okay so, we know the blow torch works.The problem now is they'rejust soaking all the way downand refreezing on the bottom.Look, see all the waterjust refroze down here.- I got an idea.- There's a lot of ideashere, we've made no progress.- I brought something from home.(tapping on ice)- Hey, are you done- I need progress.It just makes me feel better.- I brought something from home.If you drop it, we don'twanna break the PC though.That's I guess that is in...- It's not gonna break, Austin.- All right, I'm going toget out of the way then.- Could break the PC.We'll do it from like six inches.(thud)(laughing)- Well, I like how it spins though.- Whoa, oh, it's cracked.- Okay.Let me try that.- Whoa.Okay, that was a good idea but hang on.What does that crack give us?Because this is still not.- Dude look how deep that is though.- Oh there, you can see the whole thing.- Look at that, oh my God.- I have an idea.(drill whirring)- Okay, I'm gonna pick just a clean hole.- Okay you realize thatit's just a Phillips head.(all laughing)- Yeah, what screw dude?Oh, well, okay well.- Okay but I have a better tool.- Okay let's try a better idea.- His name's Austin.(drill whirring)- Oh yo.But actually though, it'scutting through like butter.Okay. That actually is pretty cool.(drill whirring)- Oh whoa.- Yo that's sweet.Wait, let's get the slow motion of this.(calm music)So I do have a new technique,so if I start drilling.(drill whirring)- There look at that.- Circular motion.Okay, I did nick the box a little bit.I need to be a little more careful.- Oh, yeah there you need.There's a little a chip in there.- Okay, we need to start cleaning up.- It's snowing. Wow- That hasn't happenedin so long, okay Grinch.(laughing)- No snow for you.- We need to open the door.Can someone holds the dooropen while I throw ice out.- Are you?- Testing out those newfillings that I got last week.(laughing)They work.- We've done all the fun experiments,but I want to actually get this PC out.I wanna trythe Omen 45L.I think the only way we're goingto be able to do it withoutit taking literally allday is to tag team drillingand blow torchingto crack this front openand we'll pull the PC out.I think that's our move.Okay, this is about to be bad.- Okay.(laughing)- That actually was very helpful.I think I could work with that.(laughing)Wow.- Wait.- What?- I want to try.I'm going to try.- You try to kick it.- Yeah.- You're gonna hurt yourself.- It's okay.- You're going to hurt yourself.- It wasn't the first time.- I'm backing up.You shouldn't do this though.- Well, what should I do?Roundhouse kick? Drop kick?- You're going to break your foot.You will actually break your foot.- Actually.- You will break your foot.(ice cracking)Lets go!- I'm stronger than I thought.(lo-fi music)- I can't pick up the ice.(laughing)- So I guess let's break the sides now.- Oh my god!- We should have donethis on the start Austin.- Okay. Hang on.There are lots of large piecesof ice that are gonna fall,- So I can't move.- You can move. Go ahead,go and take that aside.I will hold this together.- Oh that's heavy.- So now that we have cleanedup the giant pile of ice andwater that was on our floor,let's take a look at theactual OMEN box. You'll see.It's actually in pretty good shape.And you can see where it gota little too punchy with thedrill.It's soaked through a littlebit there on this side and onthis side, that's fine though.I'm sure it's fine.It's not wet in any way.Although I will say it's cold.Oh yo, this cryo chamber on top,you can literally like fityour hand underneath here.I've actually never seena PC like this before.Oh my God.

One of the exhaust,which honestly seems maybelike a little bit like overkillconcerning that the only thingthat's really providing heatin here is that graphicscard. So they've already,pre-run a SATA power and datacable all the way to the backwhere there's 3.5 inch drives are.So it would take you all of 30 secondsto install a hard drive.That is a nice touch.So to really put the OMEN through its paces.We have a game that Ken and Ihave been playing a lot latelyForza Horizon 5, let's do a launch.Shall we?Oh God, this is so stupid fast.So for context right now,we're playing at 4K Ultra settingsat 108 frames per second.So, you know, no big deal,not like this thing isunbelievably ridiculouslyoverpowered.We're cruising at 240 miles anhour and it's not even likebreaking a sweat.- Yeah this computer reallydoes make all of thesegames look really good.- I've literally done nooptimization on this.I just threw everything to maxand ultra and then we're justgetting a 100 frames persecond and it looks beautiful.- Yeah.
