CES 2009: EVGA has teamed up with renowned overclocking guru Shamino to deliver an X58 board destined to break world records.

boo to the videos. My internet at work isn't good enough to stream video.

TomH · 11th Jan 2009, 20:04

Edit: Not sure how I posted that here.

DougEdey · 11th Jan 2009, 20:12

The video player needs to be bigger/resizable in some way

Tim: your schnozz isn't big enough on my screen :P

Denis_iii · 11th Jan 2009, 20:34

sweet M/B, need a fullscreen option, maybe next time upload to youtube and save your bandwidth.....lol that EVGA dude is kewl lol

Otis1337 · 11th Jan 2009, 20:48

omg, sound a bit more into computers ffs, that guy was boaring..... i think you need a new interviewer

thehippoz · 11th Jan 2009, 20:50

yeah he's the european rep for evga.. who was the guy interviewing him- he didn't ask if shamino got his green card.. looks like high end ln2 overclocking just got easy

who needs skills anymore.. just buy your skills!

thehippoz · 11th Jan 2009, 20:53

I dunno.. what impresses me is when some guy takes a total pos that's worth next to nothing and gets it running faster than the toolbag who buys stock and fanboy's all over the place =]

WildThing · 11th Jan 2009, 21:05

Love the videos Tim, thanks for keeping us posted on what's going on at CES!

Goty · 11th Jan 2009, 22:52

Great, the motherboard can deliver 600W of power. Why does this matter? Even if you populated every single PCI-E slot on that motherboard with 4870X2s and dropped in a 140W TDP processor you still probably can't draw that much power through the motherboard power connector. Aren't PCI-E slots limited to 75W apiece?

g3n3tiX · 11th Jan 2009, 23:18

Tim looks a bit shy, but great job and good questions !
More close-ups would have been nice.
A small text under the video explaining what's in it is needed as well, so that the contents can be better searched/previewed.

LeMaltor · 11th Jan 2009, 23:19

Nice video, maybe the videos need the Bit-tech logo and a sound at the start and the end of the video

*whoosh sound* and logo spirals into view etc

Transcript would be nice, and maybe increasing sound, I had to pump the volume quite high to hear anything

Looking forward to this motherboard though

Jack_Pepsi · 12th Jan 2009, 01:37

Well done Tim!

Might be my next motherboard, is this board mainly aimed at SLi then?

Grinch123456 · 12th Jan 2009, 04:59

These videos are quite frankly, awful. If every piece is like this, I'm just going to stop reading bit-tech (or is it watching now?). I can read an entire article in 30 seconds or listen for 3 minutes to two dullards talking to each other. I'll take the reading.

POST TEXT PLEASE. Much appreciated.

Seconded. It's really not very fair to ask people who are not television presenters to present television.

I do this stuff for a living and spend half my professional life telling people not to expect their nylon-tie-wearing management to hold a camera and an audience.

QFT

I spend perhaps 3 minutes skimming the news (as in all new posts) each day.

If you want video's that fine, but set them up to NOT autoplay, and have a transcript. Alternatively, you could have them on another page.

[USRF]Obiwan · 12th Jan 2009, 11:36

Why not put in both text and a option to play the video. And secondly, I want to see the camera all over the hardware and little as possible the interviewer/interviewed person. Unless it is Jade Raymond It's about the hardware, focus on hardware, if it is about a person, focus on person.
