"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enoh you guys will never believe what I just got never in a million years unless you look to the title of the mail this video yeah but it's exciting it's really quite enticing it's except 70 I'll quote from asrock and today I'll be unboxing it I cannot believe they send me one of these this is a nine hundred and ninety nine dollar board and they only made nine hundred and ninety nine of them so I should probably stop hitting it but today we're gonna give it up in boxing and take a first look no second look because I already looked at this a copy text earlier this year we're gonna take a closer look at it now that we have it here in the studio let's do just a letter wait okay this is like one of those gifts that comes with a card that you have to read the card first otherwise you're an okay let's let's read the cards it's really weird is it my birthday it's going on as Rach do I get what is this a credit card as for a credit card no it's just just like a little member edition card that says I'm better than you oh it has bitly on it cool I'm gonna put this in my wallet because it's about time I have something impressive in my pants all right let's see what's going on here thank you for your purchase what are you smoking as write but let's continue the Oz rock X 570 aqua is a flagship motherboard that comes with a monoblock for custom liquid cooling bringing DIY and pc motoring enthusiast a supreme user experience their personal yeah we got it that's right guys this is the one with the monoblock that cools not just the cpu but the chipset too yes the XF 70 chipsets completely water cooled look at that sexy monoblock get this sec Wow it is heavy that's some heft right there I already knew is heavy because the box is heavy but I thought maybe there was some like accessories that were taking up weight not these are all this is all like crap I shouldn't say it's crap but it's very light all the weight is from the board itself because this is all aluminium all the silver plating you hear this PCB cover or armor whatever the hell you want to call it is machined aluminum premium and for $1000 I would expect no less but damn it looks good don't let it get to your head yeah notice mana blocks actually a pretty big deal because a lot of the x5 70 boards that are currently on the market have active cooling solutions for the chipset which means they actually have a physical fan sometimes they're loud sometimes they're not but it is a moving part nonetheless and moving parts are bound to fail in some way at some point there are a couple X 570 boards out there that are passively cooling their chipsets with massive heat sinks but that's not very common this takes it to a whole other level with a custom liquid-cooled monoblock it's got Gina quarter inch threads Inlet and outlet customizable RGB lighting all around and as I already mentioned a fully aluminum exterior now bear in mind the monoblock no totally cools the chipset but the CPU and the RM as well which is dare I say coop speaking of the BRM we have 14 our 14 phases a 12 plus 2 60 amp chokes for clean stable power super reliable 12 came to chicon Black Caps it seems on paper at least that asrock spared no expense when it comes to power delivery on this board how will power power power power power standard 12 volt 24 pin ATX connector round bay on the right in its usual location and an 8 pin and a 4 pin connector for your horizon 3000 series CPU oh and I'd even check what's your number I go oh it doesn't have a number it just says bit you know I'm just gonna pretend this is board number one and I'm the first person on their list that sounds believable the memory we have quad-channel memory support four dimm slots supporting ddr4 sticks up to 5,000 megahertz if I ever get a 5000 kit working here I'll do a separate video and test it out for you guys not one not two but three PCIe gen 4 by 16 slots the idea go we also have a triplet of PCIe gen 2 by 1 slots and 1/2 m dot 2 slots supporting PCIe gen 4 by 4 drives this one's also capable of SATA 3 but this one I believe is only PC a Gen 4 what is this display for we have an internal display port that are on board that's Thunderbolt 3 we have Thunderbolt 3 connectivity also on the backside which we'll get to in a moment we have surface mount a power and reset debug LED clear CMOS right there one 220 pin USB 3.0 headers there's also a USB 3 point to a Gen 2 type C header I hate the fact that they changed the name from 3.1 gen2 to 3.2 gen 2 it just makes it all confusing you're still getting 10 gigabits per second guys it's exactly the same they just change the name to make life harder for all of us in the way of RGB we have two 12-volt 4 pin connectors for regular RGB strips we have one there at the very top right of the motherboard and one down below right next to that is a single 5 volt 3 pin addressable or digital RGB header as well you also get 5 4 pin PWM fan headers let's take a look at the back story right here Mino 7.1 HD audio with optical Toslink out you get an Intel Gigabit Ethernet LAN port as well as in a quantity attend gigabit port whoa 2 USB type-c ports 4 Thunderbolt 3 that is pretty swanky 1 2 3 4 USB 3.0 ports type a video i/o includes DisplayPort and HDMI ps2 port flashback button noise and 8:02 dot eleven a ex-wife i6 built right in along with bluetooth 5.0 I think I read somewhere that they're using a server grade PCB for this thing I don't know what the hell that means probably more reliability that our thermals I know it's got some extra layers of copper in there but there is no you can see there's no backplate on this thing which I'm actually kind of glad because that would really take the weight and heft of this thing over the edge how do you install this motherboard so that's the board it's really great the X 570 aqua from asrock this is number once again number bit wet out of 999 a very special edition indeed I wanted to ask you guys what you think I should do with this board should I just put it right back in the box and never touch it again like I do with most things or should I do a build with it if you guys have any ideas of what kind of build what kind of use case scenario what kind of case I should put it in there now down below and for as special as this board is and how much love and thought went into its developments had to get warrants doing something cool with it so let me know in the comments what you think would be a good idea and I was running that show for a night guys thank you so much for watching this video guys toss all look on it before you go and get subscribed for more tech stuff coming at you really soon I will see you guys in the next video oh how I love you aqua bored you make me feel like attack Lord when I mount you in my case of Steel that monoblocks got some sex appeal murder so many phases to electrify you'll make a wallet wanna suicide x7d Rockwell whoaoh you guys will never believe what I just got never in a million years unless you look to the title of the mail this video yeah but it's exciting it's really quite enticing it's except
