 13th Gen. There's also a bunch of news about the Intel 13th Gen that just came out regarding prices. I think there are some benchmarks already pero unofficial ata yun. So talagang na timing na yung 7,000 series ni Ryzen and the, let me just check if everybody's online na. For online on Facebook, but I don't know for online on YouTube. Alright, okay, yun. So two competitors, neck and neck, parang the benchmarks of the 7,000 Ryzen series are very similar to the Intel 13th Gen so very interesting to see. Parang, when the processors are just about to be released, everybody's hyping it up now. Sobrang belis and then stuff like that, but it's really, you know, you let the hype die down a little bit and you get the reviewers a chance to actually benchmark them na hindi nagmamadalip. So it'll be interesting to see when those kind of benchmarks come out, which one really comes on top, whether Intel 13th Gen or the Ryzen 7,000 series. But today we have, yun. So super, sobrang bago pa lang itong, it's not on the market yet, the Z790 boards. The ROG just actually announced them midnight kanina and I was tempted to do a stream at midnight but since people seem to be awake or, you know, people are awake obviously at this time but people seem to be active at this time at least based on last night or yesterday's stream. So I thought, let's do that. So let's just go through the chat a little bit and we'll do a live unboxing of this guy. What's up, Adrian? I hope you enjoy your MOBO. The ASOS also, ASOS stuff, Z690. Yes, and so one of the important questions about the Intel 12th Gen and the Intel 13th Gen, same socket ba sila? Meaning, I have an Intel 12th Gen when I end a compatible motherboard. If I upgrade to Intel 13th Gen, can I keep my motherboard same socket ba sila? Answer is yes. They both used the LGA 1700 socket. Very rare for Intel to do this. Filing ko na pressure sila dahil sa AMD. AMD kept the same socket all throughout AM4, Ryzen 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 but 4000 is really for OEMs. You didn't see a lot of retail market consumers buying the 4000 series and then 5000 but all of those chips were AM socket AM4. And just another indication, okay talaga yung competition sa market. Intel infamous really na cada generation ang papalit ng socket yan meaning that if you were to upgrade, you would also need to buy a new motherboard but I think na pilitan sila ng AMD at least for Intel 12th Gen and 13th Gen, they've kept the same socket. And you know, whenever you upgrade to the next gen, people, especially yung script ni Intel, ba kailangan nung bagong socket kasi ang damay improvements. The chips are smaller. How many chips you can actually cram, how many processing units you can actually cram onto one chip or smaller, more power efficiency, et cetera. They're going to throw all of that jargon at you just to justify a new socket. But AMD has proven again with the venerable much, they earned a lot of accolades for the AM4 and for good reason na you can get substantial performance improvements while keeping the same socket. So yes, the Intel 12th Gen and Intel 13th Gen are both on socket LGA1700. So ayun, let's do the unboxing. So I have the main camera, the ZV-E10 is a better camera, but I'll also, long time viewers will appreciate that I'm using again the iPhone X or something. This guy, you can see it on stream, on stream rather. So for a long time, what we were using for video production was just iPhones. In fact, in our board ko lang nato sa Mises Code, this isn't even mine. And then for streams, we were just using DroidCam. We have gotten a proper camera na with the ZV-E10. In fact, we have two of them. But we'll use the ZV-E10 as for the primary monitor or the primary camera for unboxing. And then we'll just use, hindi naman tomahalaga yung nakihita ni Apple, ni iPhone. So ano, we can use that as secondary. Let me just go through the chat a little bit and then of course, I'll be discussing a little bit about ano ba yung pagkaiba ng Z790 and Z690. For tech questions like this one, I'll try to answer them a little bit after the unboxing. So let's do it. Live unboxing, Z790 ROG Strix. Thank you to ASUS. Oh, shoot. Before I say thank, of course, thank you to ASUS for sending this guy over, but before I get to the actual unboxing, let me just do the ad. Medyo behind tayo ngayon sa deliverables natin kayo CDK. So let me just play the ad. Os 90 kailaw na windows. Pero saan kong kawan ng legit windows? Daming options, daming prices. Aka dito. Gudi na lang ay CDKeyOvers.com. Wadali lang ang order.

Gamitan lang awing code para makakuhapan ng discounts. Kaya kung nagahalap ka ng legit, mura at original software. Check out CDKeyOvers.com. Alright. So, yep. Alright. Time for the unboxing. Unboxing. Thank you to ROG. Oh man, there's so much stuff in the way. It's off camera, but I have to move my old beast of a computer. So I have room down here on the desk. Oh here, man. Naisibot mobile. Yes. I recently upgraded my computer last March or so. So it's now that sexy naked beast. Sorry, ITX Addict. I promise I wouldn't flash my naked PC on my screen again, but I just can't keep myself from flashing. But this is the old guy. So he was in the way. I need leg room. So, alright. ROG Strix. This is the 790A Gaming Wi-Fi D4. And as pointed out by Adrian on the Facebook comments, this is a DDR4 motherboard. So very important to note. Although this is the only DDR4 Z790 mobile that ROG announced. It's also the only white motherboard that they announced. They have DDR5 motherboards. They have the super bonkers line. And by super bonkers yung mga hero, I forget the exact model names, but the really, really expensive ones. This Z790 is, you can't really say anything from ROG is particularly cheap. ROG is always premium. Pero this one, this particular board, the Z790A D4, is a bit more affordable than the other boards that they announced a while ago. This one, we're going to fire up the RGB using this one. So this is actually pretty cool. I don't think this is standard, to be honest. ASUS sent it over so we could power up the board even though it's not installed in a computer. This guy is just the 24 pin power for the mobile and then it plugs into a USB so we can use that later. As I mentioned, it is an LG A1700 socket. These are the brackets you need for your coolers. Although usually the coolers come with. Sorry, let's practice proper hygiene. I will ground myself on my case. Basically anything metal to sap any static electricity. We're transferring it from my body to the metal component so that I don't zap anything on this case, on this motherboard. Although yun naman siya, to be honest, I've been in computers for a long time. I don't think I've ever damaged something because of electrostatic discharge. At the same time, I'm always careful to properly discharge myself at the proper time via the appropriate means. So, ESD bag of course, and here is the board. To answer Adrian's question whether it's white or silver, it looks, it's both. Sorry, let me show it on camera. There are definitely more parts that are grayish, like this brushed aluminum, very premium feel, again ROG what do you expect. But there are more white parts like here. I just want to zoom in on a little bit. Okay, I'm going to be honest guys. I already unboxed so it's not the first time for me to see this board. Gusto ko rin malaman ano ba yung inahan-box ko, di ba? Malay mo pagbukas ko. Bato lang pala pinitala ni ASUS. And of course, that doesn't happen with ASUS but that does happen with some of the Lazada orders we've received. So I did want to check it out. I have looked at the details but I think I can zoom in. I just really want to appreciate, this is just purely aesthetic but I love how playful the motherboard is. You can check out the, there there, you can see the Pacman guy just right there. One of the ghosts from Pacman. And then the little dots that Pacman eats. Again, just a playful touch but I love it. I mean 98% of people would not, I mean it's a motherboard, you put it in your computer case, it's just a small detail. You wouldn't really notice it, it's not RGB file or anything. But I just really appreciate the little things. They also have like a DNA kind of etching here on the side. The Pacman motif actually is continued on the VRM, on one of the main VRMs here. So you do actually get Pacman here, up there we go on camera, and then he kind of eating. So again, it's not performance related, it's a very small aesthetic touch. But again, it's just an indication that ROG in particular is, I think their tagline is buy gamers for gamers. And it's just a nice touch na, yeah you know, I mean we like fun things. It's just kind of like a small touch like that. But it's also a recurring motif in the design of the motherboard. So you have Pacman again here, sorry let me, you have Pacman again here. And then the kind of like the dots that he eats. So pretty cool. I enjoyed, I na lola ko when I noticed that. So we'll get back to the board in a little bit. Let's do the board, fine. I mean, you know, the accessories are basically the same accessories, right? So we'll go through the accessories, but we'll go through the board now. Beautiful board. On aesthetics, I mean you got the brushed aluminum feel of the M.2 heatsinks. Just a quick run through of the specs. This is DDR4, but it's maxed up to 5,333 megahertz. So that is quite fast. To be honest, I haven't, no man, this camera is not seeing anything. Might as well just, yeah. I haven't researched that well into Intel. Oop, somebody in the background. I haven't researched that well on Intel. Like what's the optimal RAM speed? Kasi Ryzen bottoms out. Like you don't really want to go faster than around 3.6 or so because of the Infinity Fabric architecture. I don't know if that's the case with the 7000 series. But definitely, that's kind of the rough rule of thumb for the AM4 MOBOs. AM4 CPUs of Ryzen. I don't know about Intel, but this one, yeah, goes up to a bonkers 5,333 megahertz. And that's just on DDR4. The DDR5 MOBOs, the Z790 by ROG, go up to something like 6,800 megahertz or something. So that's pretty insane speed. This is a PCI-E5 slot. You would expect a PCI-E5 slot in a Z790 MOBO, even the Z690s, their primary PCI-E slots already PCI-E5. Then I think you have two more PCI-E4s and one PCI-E3. But what is unique to this ASUS MOBO or what is unique to ASUS motherboards in general are the Q latch system, which we'll talk about now. So you don't even need to get their Z790 motherboards. We've seen their lower tier motherboards with the same features and I really appreciate that because... So what is the Q latch? One, they have it for the PCI-E slot. You just press a button. Let me bring up the MOBO closer to the screen. So you press this, and then you can see it on screen. The PCI-E slot releases by itself. And you're like, oh, so what the hell? You press a button and this thing mechanically moves. But that's super useful, especially in the age of gargantuan gigantic GPUs. So I'm going to use my PCI-E as an example again. So this is a 3080 and it takes up to three slots. Actually three slots, really. Three slightly more. And the problem here is that if I wanted to release this GPU, I would have to dig in all the way there. It's not easy to get to the latch of the PCI-E slot with such gigantic motherboards, ah, sorry, with such gigantic GPUs. The Q latch or the Q release from ASOS, again, not unique to this particular motherboard line. A lot of their motherboard lines have it already. It makes it super useful. Here we go. Oh, you can see it better before on camera. Ah, there, there, there. Yeah, see? It's, again, this is a refinement that seems super simple, but I really appreciate na sobrang useful nito. Again, because you don't want to be dabbling to dig your fingers in there. And to be honest, you don't know anymore. Ako kong pagnainis na ako, di ko na alam anong pinipindut ko dyan sa motherboard para lang in the vein hope na matamaan ko yung release latch for the GPU. And that problem will only get worse with the monster 40 series coming out. The other PCIe slots on the board are the traditional manual ones that you need to unclip. But even this one, you notice it's more like a wing design. So, mas maraming surface area so that you can catch it. You can kind of find it's easier for your, yung na, kung nakatakipto, di mo makita, at least it's easier to find something to latch on to. So, even that, nice, nice design touch. The other Q release thing, which I really appreciate, I think they call it the Q latch for the M.2. So, we're going to bring out our screwdriver. We are getting LTT screwdrivers thanks to one of our YouTube members. So, thank you. But it's coming out December padaw. On one hand, I do feel bad na, you know, we are a shop. Maybe we should get our own equipment. On the other hand, it's like, we really do appreciate when people are like, you know, we like what you're trying to do for the PC industry here and we like your content. And, you know, as a small thank you, we'd like to give you some stuff. That's happened before, to be honest. We had somebody donate a very nice keyboard which you can check out in our tech troubleshooter shootout. All right. So, this is the main M.2 slot. Main, you know it's the main one. I mean, basically if you have an M.2, if you're going to use an M.2, you have four different options. This board can take four different M.2 drives. But if you only have one, you want to put it you want to put it in the slot closest to the CPU because that's the one with the fastest connection. You do have a heat sink. All of these guys have heat sinks behind the armor or, you know, whatever marketing term you want to apply to these guys. And it has the blessed Q Q Q latch, I think they call it the Q latch here. What's missing here if you're familiar with building most M.2 slots just come with a screw that comes in there. So you have to slip in the M.2 here and then kind of like very gingerly kind of maneuver it into position and then stick the screw in there and then screw it properly without upsetting the connection here and the connection here. None of that BS with the Q latch system because the latch is already embedded into the motherboard and you just slip in the M.2 driver then you just kind of slip, you just turn the latch and easy-peasy, so convenient. And again it's just a small thing but sohobrang convenient. If you want to check out just how much difficulty I have I do have a video for my computer so when I did this new computer over here this guy. Sobrang hirap, actually that was my first time to actually use an M.2. Sobrang hirap niya to get it into position that's really frustrating and I appreciate that ASUS has eliminated that pain point with the Q latch system. So I'm just going to show you the other one again thermal padding where to deal with the heat generated by the M.2. I don't actually honestly know how much heat M.2s generate pero binibig deal everybody's like yes this is for cooling it's a heat sink and things like that. Maybe we should try to run an M.2 naked I mean without the heat sink let's see but does it affect performance does it affect okay so this is cool I mentioned you can have four M.2s in here that's uncommon even high end boards just a few generations ago would only allow two. So this is your first one it's a primary then you have another one here too and you have a dual you have dual slots here third and fourth so that's the one two three and four. So you can have four M.2 drives in here they've cut back on the SATA bank so there are only four SATA connections here although again with everybody's kind of moving two M.2 NVMe speeds now not that all M.2 are NVMe so that's something you need to remember or keep in mind if you're building but most boards actually have more than four SATA ports but it's not really necessary to have a lot anymore nowadays so yep so we've talked about the M.2 slots ah yes for the before I stick everything back on this is 16 plus one voltage phases so generally the whole point of a motherboard yes it brings everything together basically everything about your computer is connected to the motherboard and it's primary function is to deliver just the right amount of voltage to all of the parts and you want a clean voltage hindi yung maingay like if you were to plot it on a graph like patalun-talun siya you want it just like a clean stream of current that's the whole point of VRMs or voltage regulator modules the better VRMs do that just the right amount of power and a clean power signal so you do look at how many phases through so this is 16 plus one um quite good but I think the more expensive boards like yung mga bonkers boards have more phases I think but this VRM is super chunky I mean this is such a fat guy let me just let me just show you just so this is like this right so this is about as long as my finger no no my finger even longer than my finger just to illustrate so this is like the cutting edge of intel motherboards now z790 rog and this is an x570 from uh so this is am4 am4 just the recently concluded generation of AMD but the the VRM is maybe just 3 fourths the size of the one over here um and you'll also note that for the am4 boards it's still the one for the cpu it's the one x8 but for intel 12th gen and 13th gen they have the two so you have two let me get it on camera yeah you have the two sockets now for the two power connectors two 8 pin power connectors for the cpu there um again super premium from rog this is actually the first time I mean it looks so parang metal pa yung yung frame nung cpu power connectors dito and may nakayetch pa it's a pro cool um I does it say yes pro cool I'm assuming that's like um that's AMD's way of saying that yes we know there's a lot of power flowing through this guy and we made we made sure nakaya nung board yung power na yung such a beefy VRM um here and here I think this is also a VRM I don't know um but yeah you do want in general I mean people gush over like just how big the VRMs are kasi that's an indication that it can take it's better at heat dissipation and there is a lot of heat dissipation there is a lot of heat occurring when you try to get the proper voltage to the cpu and to the other parts and cleaning up the signal of the power supply uh that's really that's really where the heat is generated as you're filtering it through the VRM so there's a lot of heat and the quality mobos like this one have measures in place like heat sinks in place some even have active cooling so hindi lang passive but they have actually small fans to get rid of the heat generated from the operation of the board um san yung so I'm seeing two ARGB headers over here so that's one, that's two there must be an RGB header is this the 4 pin RGB header? is this 2 and 2? um I don't know this is the fans wala nabang RGB header like pa well di na ba also yung 12 volt 4 pin um I mean the ARGB is superior in terms of lighting capabilities that you can generate although um generally most boards have come with both I guess maybe ROG's making a statement na no no you just need ARGB we're on that premium end um yeah parang it's just here and here dala wang ARGB but I can will do a proper not live to be honest naka kas stress yung live because you're like let's not drop the board so try to remember the proper information you know just try to give the proper information so um it's it's much more calming if you know hindi siya live and you can do passes with the camera and then you can do proper voice over and things like that but um it does look like na wala um RGB header to answer Pesto's question lemme just um go through the chat a bit sup sup banag hurling pesto this one we don't ha this one we don't get to keep actually itong board na to it even came with a intel 13th gen ah shh quiet we're not really supposed to not supposed to talk about that but it came with an intel 13th gen CPU so it will help us benchmark this particular board but we're not allowed to show we're not allowed to show the board we're not even allowed actually to do a video review of this yet but we're not allowed to do the unboxing um and basic features so um definitely not allowed to keep this board jeffrey's sireon maybe on top of the ramp let's check oh yes yes you're right um lemme check um this does look like uh I have the ROG na to jeffrey's right thank you for the thank you for the assist so there are two here ARGB headers another ARGB header ah sorry lemme get that on camera there's another ARGB header here on top of the ramp and one RGB header so this is the 4 pin 12 volt 4 pin header yes so it does come with 3 and then 1 okay so di naman like super statement ng ROG na heck no we don't support RGB anymore is this what they're marketing it as moon light white um it does look very good it's very hard to find white motherboards um a lot of people like the white build aesthetic but it's quite hard to find um yun um in the shop you know people often ask us na oh you know I want a white board talaga um we are able to get sometimes but sometimes they some the own but yes sometimes it's quite difficult so it's interesting at least this board looks very good and then metro and keeping pa with our market because it'll be honest mahal pa yung DDR5 it's most builds using Intel 13th gen I anticipate will still be DDR4 just like the builds most of our builds that we've done for Intel 12th gen are also still DDR4 so it's nice to have this particular option although I would like to be honest it probably carry the tough um I haven't seen yet what um tough what the tough lineup is for Z790s but we'd most likely carry those we do actually have a beautiful prime motherboard na white then for Z690 pero DDR5 at na yun top lucky bear vlogs yes DDR4 yep makaklashrock sa 3080 colorful 3080 ti mo black yun white to so aesthetically you don't want that alright so let's just go through the IO ports here at the back oh sorry and again kulit kasi nong pacman motif it's really cute oh and here's the ghost here's another pacman ghost there and also continued on the IO portion of the motherboard let me just get it properly sorry let me so of course with any premium motherboard sorry let me let me get it sorry sorry sorry let me get it alright the IO shield is already integrated into the MOBO so none of those old jokes na nag-install ka, assemble ka ng computer tapos punyeta Ion mo na tapos nakalimutan mo IO shield none of that going on with this ROG Z790A MOBO interestingly you do have a display port and an HDMI port DP you don't normally see on an IO of a motherboard although this one is pretty is pretty premium and to be honest guys if you're getting an ROG board malamang you won't be using integrated graphics for your setup although I do know a lot of customers who do still want so they're gonna get like an Intel i7-13700 for example then I'll be like just get the F version yung di ka lang ng GPU and they're like I still want the integrated graphics of the CPU kasi pang backup just in case something happens with GPU so in that case ROG does have your back it even may DP patong IO na to all of the standard bells and whistles for a premium motherboard so you have the flash bios here and the CMOS reset button here you don't need to manually pop out any more of the CMOS battery there 2 USB 3 ports 6 non-USB 3 ports and of course the LAN port and the Wi-Fi will come to that later the white aesthetic continues on to the IO portion of the motherboard so if you have a white case ganda nga nito this part of the board will be sticking out in the rear but at least when you turn around you can still see that if you look at the rear it's really white all the way um yep so let me just go through the don't know where to put this guy now hang out here Z790 oh what happened to YouTube lucky bear vlogs I think the comments from YouTube stop showing in the prom turn FB still works yes FB still works um and this yeah we have used them on from YouTube but you're right I haven't seen any particular comments coming out from YouTube I don't know why I'm supposed to be having good signal naman um yeah so if you guys want to comment you gotta pop over to Facebook apparently alright let's just do the unboxing unboxing um sorry I need more space I don't want to do a linus and like sweep this board off my table so let's just put this guy here and here alright there we go this is the wifi antennas oh and we'll power it up later with this guy yeah yeah let's do that but these are this is the wifi antennas if we get a lot of customers actually na those who are a bit unfamiliar with computers like my wifi is not working and then nakalimutan nila to install the antennas so they actually you do need to screw in the antennas regardless of the board not just ROG boards but a lot of the boards are like this now we won't open it na kasi I feel ba I don't know it's open okay to be honest when I get these things na like sometimes it's really me opening it for the first time na na ilang ako to remove the packaging and things like that I was the same way with the PG48UQ so these are the wifi things they're kind of if you're of a certain generation they look like cable tv um but you used to the co-actual cables that you used to screw into the cable box so these guys just go in the back of the mobile here and here yep so don't don't forget that it's really gonna um we do get customers in fact I think I made a I might have made a video a short video out of it explained so that I could explain na no yeah guys you gotta plug this in no the antenna swivel so it's like that again the panel shark it's always reminding me of a shark's fin oh but again nice and premium very solid feel alright I'll fix this up later this part I have not actually gotten to so I have no idea what goodies are in here um okay tie cable tie these rubber thingies to be honest I never use these rubber thingies maybe for sound dampening and things like that oh extra thermal pad thanks Asus not that you know I have to give this back more rubber thingies and extra Q latch yes here just in case na whatever happens to the hinge or something and more extra Q latch things um you get a key chain I think this is key chain get the instructions oh you got some stickers some stickers actually I uh uh a very premium kind of hard to tell it's hard to tell on camera but very premium ah there there kind of like may etching siya on the card it's just like a warranty card and like uh thank you so much and please follow us on our socials and things like that about the stickers you know I um I miss back in the day let me just go back to my old rig very briefly like when brands with uh I mean like itong RIP EVGA I mean press F for such a great brand this came from my 980 so way back in the day so noctua EVGA these weren't just stickers they were like actual like metal things na you you know you could affix to wherever so these guys are stickers I've noticed that some brands on the tradition especially ROG the items I've seen from ROG there are a lot of stickers but very few people na put them on the on their cases themselves on the case themselves um mainly because I think there's so many other customization options out there um right that is I mean nowadays really the market has exploded for things for what you can how you can customize your build on the inside RGB as well as on the outside na exterior it actually just David go here in the stream or if um you're watching later on I blame you for this because I see David may request for a particular NZXT item so we do allow custom requests for hardware sugar just message just and we'll see if we can get it from our supplier um so I had to look up an NZXT item unfortunately we couldn't carry it but I found out that NZXT has microphone as a has that yung parang f**k nila it's a head it's a headset holder so it's magnetic it just sticks to your case or any other metal part and then I noticed that they have one for Mass Effect and if you know me I'm a big super super big Mass Effect fan alright let's light this sucker up and uh where's the 24th yet so now because I saw that because of David David's inquiry um I gotta I'm gonna order it for myself now I don't know how did we end up on that particular anecdote like um why why am I talking about like oh yeah ways to customize your computer yeah so many ways now alright so we got the let's light up this board light up this board okay actually I have this one I haven't done yet that was uh first time I opened up that one okay I gotta plug it into a USB so but I gotta let's get naman the lighting on camera abut pa tayo yes and oh there we go ROG in the house ganda shit it's really I'm laughing to myself because I'm thinking to myself god damn it now I wanna build a new system and let me let me zoom in so that or can I zoom in on this thing man we need a camera man uh there there oh birds eye view of the yawn nice also of course all controllable through ASUS which is the ASUS proprietary program for RGB control nice subtle touch I mean to be honest I don't really need bonkers RGB on my board this is really nice and subtle just enough to give a little flair but at the same time keeping you wanted it white right so you don't want like a whole lot of colors splashing around in here plus you know with your GPU malamang you're gonna have case fan lights or whatever you're really gonna have a lot of color so just the right amount of lighting for me I don't need my mobile super blinked out looks very nice if I ever do come up with like a home studio or like setup we need like yung sa overhead panang dito overhead so para nakaganoon siya and we can have a top down view like most of the other youtubers have na you know for unboxings and things like that come here camera get over here so that folks is the ROG Z790-A motherboard fine fine piece of equipment quite hefty actually you can feel I mean it's it's ROG man so ROG really premium stuff it's quite hefty that's probably most of the weight is from the VRMs and you do want chunky or think thick VRMs as they dissipate heat better so let me just get the shields back on and let me alright so I think I think YouTube comments are back up rubber pads for the screws alam ko dyan mostly na the damaged motherboard pag walang protective rubber sa screw slots I talk about the risers I've installed my mobos without without rubber for years the general advice is don't over tighten yes you want it of course stuck there on to your case through the risers but don't over tighten when I was doing a motherboard video recently I discovered that most people don't call them risers anymore those little screws na these are the riser the riser holes there let's see other term for them now oh this is a dual M.2 so let's just put the armor back so hefty so premium again I hate ROG for sending stuff we're gonna send them back risers or mobo standoffs standoffs parang the term are these people in the forums abroad parang mas ginagamit na yung standoffs ngayon although the downside of using that terminology is that naging uso ngayon yung riser cables so you can have vertically mounted GPUs which require riser cables and if you're not being careful yung kausap mo is new to PC building baka ma, ito siya sa anong risers yung riser cables baka you might think they're the same thing which they are definitely not just line up the screws here so these guys are super ang taka-announced ng ROG nito midnight kanina and no word yet when they're gonna be available in the local market the Intel 30th gen also yung mga where is the longer stick ah here the news about ito si Intel kinda wants to undercut parang di ba parang everybody's talking about your competitor is just about to release and so they kinda want to undercut the new cycle by kind of getting it in there na oh ito yung prices namin actually it's very interesting now parang nek na talaga yung performance but that's, I haven't looked into the benchmarks a lot ah it's it's the only time Luigi I can get away from my kids to be honest both of them are sleeping kaya na pa isi ba ako na ito so like oh you do it you unbox on your prime times mga 8pm people have just had dinner and more people are free to watch the stream but I'm not free because kids man kids but actually I was very surprised by the response yesterday's stream did really well I was really surprised that there were a lot of people active at that time so I thought let's do another afternoon stream if you didn't catch yesterday's stream we're thinking of doing a podcast if you have any thoughts on what we should include or things like that, what to call it tentatively my tentative name for the podcast is sexual but friendly which I kinda think captures the vibe of why a lot of people subscribe to hardware sugar is that we try to introduce computer hardware but hindi siya jargon in a intimidating way na hindi mo alam yung AM4, tatangam mo but binin mo yung cooler na yan but a lot of tech guys kasi when they start talking it's like touch move every move you do is wrong and every move is wrong and will lead to further things further bad things down the line so I think a lot of people get interested with the channel we don't dumb it down but we try to explain it in ways that you might not you don't need a super technical background or you're just getting into the hobby so really try as much as possible to make it easier for beginners again, not in a dumb down way but in a user friendly way because a lot of it is presentation like do you really need to mention this particular spec at that point in a video na hindi naman kailangan hindi mo na mention yung cooling na ito hindi mo na mention yung feature na ito, parang ganon but a lot of that is A, that's by the side and B, sometimes I really don't know the feature so yes I might have missed it but a lot of the time it's really like yes I know about this feature but hindi siya bagay dun sa video na yun so I think maybe that's what would attract an audience for the podcast would be having that same kind of vibe approachable it provides value to the listener they learn something parin hindi yung mayabang or hindi yung puro jargon lang my tentative name for the podcast might be Tech Show but Friendly so it's kind of like also youtube click baiting na parang, oh I know what to expect Tech Show but Friendly parang ganon speaking of unexpected parang you try to catch titles I mean you try to be click bait in the title and in the thumbnail I mean click bait in the sense that it attracts it entices people to see what's this video about the title of our next video releasing midnight later is please use your mobile in your car so di ba parang baliktad it's like everybody's like oh don't thumb dapat you know ice on the road magmakalikot mobile mo midnight tonight is please use your mobile in your car so di ba parang it's like oh that's unexpected and maybe that's also kind of like a virtue maybe of the title for the podcast Tech Show but Friendly so medyo like may twist kontin yes Friday credit cards hardware sugar straight payments only do we have lazada and shoppy yes we do but we only post the cheap items there because we used to post all of our items and then people would buy CPUs from us and then claim that yung pinadala namin walang CPU and then they would return them to us I did make a video out of that it's under our milestones video the year 3 report card so I know a lot of people want to buy from us using lazada and shoppy pero sisihin mo yung mga scammers and it's not easy padala namin 18,000 yung CPU bakalik sayo ba to tas walang pa kaya yung lazada and shoppy so good vibes on this stream na ito I had a good time unboxing the z790a so I won't spoil it by reliving those moments but yeah that's the short reason why a lot of our items are not on lazada and shoppy now actually Stephen the cheapest ddr5 ram that we have found is from crucial we can actually get supply so I am keen to carry that in the shop and crucial is quite good for memory my own I do use an mx500 ssd from them for years now and super okay the ram also okay so we are thinking of getting that ddr5 ram it's the cheapest ddr5 that we've seen although mayro na rin from team group at an okay price mayro pa bababan na rin yung ddr5 ram prices it's true when we started carrying them kasi yung intel gen was the first system that allowed you to have ddr5 ram so ba rang mahal ng ddr5 ram wala masyadong options available but yeah nowadays medya pa bababan na man although there is a general price increase in the market in general because of our foreign exchange rate soft itx adic yaya crucial we are angling to stock crucial it seems we have very good very good prices for ddr5 and since you're in the stream I know I promise it will be safe for work but tadaa gotta just flash the naked pc again and the board is naked right so maybe this stream is not so safe for work got a lot of naked stuff going on here John robert yep thank you really to ASOS for allowing or giving us the opportunity to box this z790 live I haven't seen any content from any local creators with the z790 although you know we're not allowed yet to do a full review sorry na pangit ng camera angle like you'd see some of the light you can see the cheap lighting picture I have but yeah super thank you to ASOS so you have a good relationship with them we don't even buy a lot of stuff from them to be honest I mean as a shop we do buy some stuff from ASOS but not a lot compared to some of the other brands but we are very thankful and I super end especially for the beautiful beautiful PG48 uq OLED 138 hertz 48 inches monitor god so crazy that's so good that's a good one I know that not safe for work not safe for wallet pala ROG Luigi I was going to actually comment on your YouTube comment na I understand you mentioned that you have a college collegiate basketball podcast if you're not a blue eagles fan we can't be friends anymore well you know to be honest I mean we really enjoy making content in our vain na hindi masyadong tech it is tech focus but the jargon is not there so we don't really even we don't even really look at it as like oh sell sell it's more like this is nice to this is really cool tech if you watch us on our videos any of the hosts I think our enthusiasm is there is very apparent look at this beautiful bonkers motherboard and we do try to frame it in a beginner friendly way to get more people into the hobby the OLED monitor yun na the 48 inches PG 42 48 UQ the SRP was around 117,000 pesos pero I really doubt na yun yung magiging price with the FX rate with the FX rate what it is and in general actually the 42 inch was cheaper than it was around 1,000 US I think the 42 inch if you go to Amazon now it's at around 2,000 dollars so it's even more expensive than the 48 inch kasi hindi po on sale yung 48 inch next quarter pa this year I mean last quarter this year but the 42 inch is out now pero tumas na yung pressure so I doubt very much that the 48 inch at the stated SRP of 17,000 pesos we're thinking of we have a FSP or we have an EVGA sorry our EVGA is old but our FSP should have the 2X8 CPU pin if that's your concern we're gonna use the FSP we're probably gonna use one of the FSP power supply that's good equal opportunity naman bash all the teams so no favorites bash everybody sorry I'll just end the stream with this question from Pesto we are allowed to test the Intel 13th gen but it's not really benchmarking kasi engineering sample siya so it's not the finalized version that would be available at retail it's just really to get the board going and kinda put the board through its paces I guess we could mention it but we're not allowed to show any benchmarks yet either from the 13th gen or from this particular board so we'll shoot a review video of this board and then to power it up we can use the Intel 13th gen although we do have 12th gen naman in the shop but the actual performance metrics that's not allowed yet not even allowed to show it so it's just like a regular chip although to be honest I was pretty like oh we have an Intel 13th gen and I was gonna like show it on social media but then I was informed that it's still under embargo so there 4k pro art monitor I have no idea although those are available now please message us on facebook we might be able to check that out for you like what's available now at pro art but it's not 48 inches I think it's maybe 32 or something something like that so thanks so much for joining me again please if you have any ideas for the podcast that you guys think that we should talk about please do mention them, messages or mention it in the youtube comments because that's something we're gearing up for and again it's gonna be something very consistent so at least once maybe once a week is our tentative thing yesterday na baka that's overly ambitious we might not want to commit ourselves to that schedule baka mamatay mamatay kami sa trying to produce it but we'll see, it needs to be regular that's one thing all algorithms like regular content we do have a video dropping midnight tonight that's already available for members and that's tech in cars we go through BMW 325 series and a Mazda CX-8 just kind of tracing the evolution of tech in cars the tech in cars now as represented by the Mazda the 2022 Mazda CX-8 grave sobrang iba na and the parking assist so useful it's like you launch the drone and the drone is looking down on top of the car crazy you can see in front and behind and on the side super useful anyway so that's the topic of the video that will drop later tonight so thanks so much for watching guys the live unboxing one of the first in the world and maybe the first in the Philippines because ROG just released announced them these guys are not available yet they're not on sale yet they were just announced midnight last night's midnight that always confuses me but thanks so much to ASUS for allowing us to unbox this beautiful beautiful board again, you know it's quality and I'm just going to end with I really love the shout out let me just unplug it electrocute myself or something I just really love the shout out to the classic classic gaming pacman series just the nice little touches that make you appreciate that you know that the ones who designed this board are gamers themselves and that they have a sense of fun and that this is quality engineering I mean, you know a lot of enthusiasts are it's for gaming so nice little touch right there thank you so much please do check out our previous video which dropped yesterday the colorful 3080ti video where we are host there gushes about the 3080ti from colorful and our upcoming video later tonight about tech in cars and another last we do have a video dropping also on friday tomorrow is SOTA state of the art in depth tech show where they talk about what's new and what we can expect from z790 what's the difference between z790 and z690 the max ramp speeds are faster and there are more PCIe 4 lanes basically so not a revolutionary upgrade to be honest but more of the faster more of the faster is basically the difference between z690 and z790 thank you Enzo thanks everybody for joining the stream I'm going to go have a late lunch stay safe bye
