  • So I reached out to them aside and was like, Hey, I thought we were gonna get to review the lightning car.

  • Do you know that $1600 top in our T X car?

  • They were like, Oh, yeah, we'll send you one.

  • This box is empty because they sent it in here.

  • So there isn't why we're checking out the B l D or build service from envy.

  • X t.

  • It sounds like a rap, I swear to God.

  • It's because NZX t is the exclusive supplier for the lightning card for s eyes that you can basically get it anywhere else.

  • Now there's some other reviews on the Internet of the card stand alone before every reason they chose to send this to us for a specific reason.

  • We'll talk about it in just a second.

  • We've already talked about bld with Dunham boxing this stuff, but I want to take a look at this build specifically because we did the gold build and we were like, Yeah, we did golden nzx.

  • He's like we did it better.

  • So we're gonna get that today also to if you guys haven't seen our tour of the facility of how this box is the builders created in, boxed and shipped in all that.

  • Then go and check that out.

  • We'll put a link in the description blow.

  • So I'm not gonna be going into a lot of the specifics.

  • I am gonna tell you, though, we are giving this computer away with the lightning card and all of that in there.

  • Just not in this video.

  • So make sure your subscribed or you will probably miss that announcement.

  • All right, so here it is, um, set up obviously on the desk.

  • So I went in and change some of the lighting others.

  • Two different things you used to control the lighting's in this particular building.

  • DXC scam controls the crack in.

  • And then the huge fans air in here, and we've also got the lighting strips that go looks like across the top, the front and the bottom.

  • And then we use Emma Side Mystic Light to control the motherboard, the ram as well as the graphics card.

  • So we got in set a couple of things with graphics card, but first we'll talk about the specs.

  • This is a 99 100 K that is running on an M s I Z 3 90 mpg Ace motherboard.

  • It's obviously got the 28 e T i lightning Z graphics card from a Masai 32 gigabytes of G skill tried Enzi RGB, which we've also set purple.

  • I like the way the purple and gold looks.

  • Um, it's sort of like a Laker theme.

  • Well, I'm not really a Lakers fan, and it's the wrong shade of gold.

  • It's got a four terabytes see gate Baracoa spinning hard drive as well as a one terabyte 9 70 Evo.

  • Envy me, m dot u.

  • S S D we in terms of power supply, it's got their new e 8 50 power supply.

  • In fact, I've got one over here.

  • We're doing a video about this.

  • I need to get some equipment first.

  • I can properly test OCP basically, and 60 is like a power slide to the test test.

  • The OCP and I was like, I don't want to kill my software.

  • I don't tell my software, of course, but I want to kill my hardware and they're like, Well, we're so confident or OCP.

  • If anything happens, we'll take care of it.

  • And we'd love to better our product.

  • If it happens, but we're so confident it won't happen.

  • They're going to They want me to test it.

  • But I need to find the right way to test OCP rather than that kind of taking the black wire in the red wire or the yellow wire in this case for 12 ongoing now in terms of the graphics card.

  • Because this was the whole focus of why I wanted to do this video.

  • You can see here it's very similar to their trio.

  • It's got this brace right here, which it's not really leaning on it right now, but this uses up two slots so that the waited this card, if it sags, will be absorbed by this brace and not the motherboard socket and the rear of the the case causing sag.

  • It's got a carbon fiber back plate with a RGB that also shows the right there.

  • I've said this to sort of like kind of a flickering light, which I think is kind of nice, but it has a heat pipe in there as well.

  • You can kind of see it right there because my concern with it being ah, carbon fiber was like Wait a minute that's gonna reject heat, which could be bouncing the heat right back at the card.

  • We've gotta heat pipe on here to move the heat to the end of the card and then just allow it to sort of radiate away.

  • Plus, we have fans blowing directly on it.

  • But the coolest thing about this that pun intended cool is the the old led screen on the side right here.

  • So we've seen this on their motherboards, but now they've implemented into the Lightning's E card, and you can go in here into the software with the Dragon Center and change this information to what you want.

  • So I've got it cycling right now between the fan speed, the core speed and the temperature so as we're kind of gaming and doing benchmarks, and Suffolk is kind of look over, glance at it and see Holy crap, that's kind of nice to have Ah, just a quick visual reference.

  • But then again, at this card costing $1600 for a single card, um, it should it should maybe be in color.

  • I don't know that it's a little Tandon.

  • Maybe it should cook me breakfast too, because that's that's expensive.

  • But of course, we want to see how it does it over clocking and stuff.

  • So let's go ahead and start pushing this and see what happens So amusing Valley benchmark to kind of do something over testing here in windowed mode so we can have m s.

  • I afterburner running to do some of our over clock testing.

  • Now.

  • It initially boosted up to 1995.

  • But if you guys aren't aware with GP boost 3.0, obviously that's an over clock.

  • As the temperature goes up, this is gonna go down.

  • So the fan curve we found is fairly I mean, it's only 826 rpm, 53 c right now.

  • 19 eighties of frequency, as you can see there.

  • So it's nice that they match.

  • It's only 822 rpm, which is which is nice.

  • But I mean, I think their card like this, obviously, acoustics are second to performance.

  • Obviously, first thing I'm going to do is I'm gonna go ahead and just max out the fans because, like I said and you're probably gonna hear it now.

  • Obviously, I'm sorry.

  • This is not the quietest card on the market.

  • But obviously we want to keep it as cool as possible as we're over clocking it so the boost won't start to bring down our core clock.

  • Um, the core voltage.

  • It's still up for debate.

  • Whether or not this does anything, this actually is theoretically moving the slider at where it adds more voltage at a lower course.

  • Speed, I guess.

  • So.

  • The curve moves down technically so that it goes higher voltage sooner to keep you from crashing as you push up the core clocks.

  • But whatever.

  • As we brought the temperature back down, though, as you can see, these temp start normalizing, and that might even come back up to 1995.

  • So let's go ahead and increase that power limit.

  • Now it only shows 108 But this is already a much higher TVB TDP card than the reference that's 8% above the already increased overall T V p of the card.

  • So I don't know exactly the teepee of this card is.

  • So don't look at that and go, Why is it only eight when the founders cards like 20 to that?

  • That's why it's already at 100.

  • It's higher then.

  • Probably the founders at 122.

  • So we'll apply that That tells us by increasing our power limit.

  • And we were not hitting power limit, which is why the court didn't change.

  • We could also check here on our monitoring, and we would be able to see if we were hitting power limit.

  • I wish there was a light that would turn on that.

  • Be my suggestion for M s eyes have a little light that turns on or something on there.

  • That power limit is happening that it enables illuminates that way you could see like, Oh, we're Power LTD because with Artie exes, it's more often than not power limited than anything temperature or whatever.

  • So we go and find our power limit, its power percentage.

  • Yeah, look at that.

  • It's even though we haven't maxed out, we're not even hitting 100.

  • This is total percentage of power draw available to the card.

  • So we're sitting at 79% 80% of 108 so the card won't fraud on two hits, one of eight.

  • As you can see, we're hitting in the eighties, so obviously the power delivery of this card is extremely robust and built up as it should be.

  • It's got three p.

  • C.

  • I express 8 10 power plugs on there.

  • So the amount of power on this card could theoretically pull more than 500 watts if allowed to.

  • But I don't think that it's gonna even get anywhere near there now for reference here.

  • What we're checking is my my.

  • Speaking of reference, my founder's edition card will actually achieve 2130 sustained with the fans of 100% as high as 2190.

  • That's really significant.

  • So I want to see if we can even match that course speed.

  • Because if you can't match the course speed, then what is all this extra stuff do?

  • So that's why you have to hope that they're doing proper binning of these cards.

  • Otherwise, oh, his crash that plus 1 50 that was 2130 and we just crashed right there and see a recovered sort of.

  • Okay, well, let's see if we can bring it back.

  • Kudos on the driver.

  • The driver recovery given We just went through with A and B.

  • This was a welcome sight to see I'm telling you.

  • All right, 1 10 Move this up just to see the placebo wise.

  • I would like that as soon as I move that up.

  • You see, that jumped up.

  • So maybe this is doing something on this particular card.

  • If I slide this back down goes back down to 2100 doesn't go any higher.

  • It's like when I maxed out all those other voltages it, like, freaked out, didn't it?

  • Spring goes down.

  • Well, maybe read out that far.

  • That's my bad.

  • All right, so I'm trying to get this to match our founders card.

  • Unfortunately, we're not able to get it.

  • They're moving the voltage slider really doesn't do anything.

  • I'm watching them.

  • The voltage read out.

  • It's always at 10 40 three's, where it seems to Max out.

  • Power limit doesn't make a difference, because the increased power limit of the card already means we're not hitting power limit.

  • That's what would make this like out of the box faster than like the reference car to the Founders card Plus 1 10 and plus 1000 on.

  • The memory seems to be about as far as I can push this card without it really starting to freak out and then maxing out the fans because this will climb rather quickly if you don't.

  • So I mean, although it's a it's a custom car that's supposedly been and, um, yeah, unfortunately, can't get the course speed to match.

  • But that's kind of been the case, as long as in video has been having reference our Founders edition cards, which goes back to Pascal.

  • And it kind of keeps the best silicon for themselves.

  • And then everyone else just kind of sort of has to been the leftovers that they get and then come up with their tiered systems.

  • So that's why I'm seem to be stuck here right around the 2100 ish range.

  • At the end of the day, it's still a great card.

  • It's just obviously this one has a huge price premium along with it.

  • But I want to get a huge thank you to NZX T, though, for at least sending me this system to do this review with Obviously they took the gold and black that's built into the card and turned it into sort of a theme very similar to what I did with the R T.

  • X bill they RDX Titan build.

  • Now I'm going to be giving away this system, but not in this video.

  • So it's very important that you be following on social media and be subscribe to the channel because that's how you're gonna find out about that so indexed he was like, Hey, we want to do something.

  • We'd love for you to take the system and then give it away so all the details and stuff on that will be coming later.

  • I will not be entering any of those questions in this video.

  • That would be obviously a piece for it if you guys haven't heard of any Dixie's bld or build.

  • Basically, the website's called Let's build dot com is a link down the description below.

  • It's the only s side that I know of.

  • Well, obviously that you could buy the lightning card from if this is the card you want because they are the exclusive supplier for the S eyes on the Lightning Z very limited edition card as well.

  • So if you want it, you probably are gonna want to act fast.

  • The other thing is, it's the only essay I know we can go in, chews up.

  • I believe it's up to
