Video Description
#asusrog #intelcoreultra #asuspcdiy - What happens when you take all of the latest generation hardware and place them inside a white ROG Hyperion with a Z890 APEX at it's core? Well, you throw an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K inside and embrace the power! Timecodes, though I don't recommend skipping for visual narrative reasons! 00:00 - A Mysterious Package 01:19 - Choose Your Weapon... 02:00 - ROG Z890 Maximus APEX First Look 02:32 - Build Hardware 02:55 - Motherboard Assembly 04:26 - White ROG Hyperion Assembly 07:21 - Airflow Visualization 07:49 - Cinematic & Desk Setup 09:35 - Coffee Thanks & Bloopers As 2024 begins to draw to a close, Intel are back with a new socket: welcome the Core Ultra series to the table! With any new platform comes opportunity to develop and that's exactly where the Core Ultra 9 currently finds it's self. Those seeking mountains more power than the i9 14900K may be disappointed, but make no mistake the 285K has some serious power to be had whilst also consuming less energy and that's a winner. The ROG Maximus Z890 Apex provides a solid platform to fully utilise every bit of the new CPU's from intel whilst retaining those stylish and sharp design angles. Combined with the RTX 4090 OC, there's really not much which can defeat this one and that's fine with me! Final conclusion following build hardware list: Main parts included in the build: (USA Amazon) Case: https://amzn.to/4e1fY63 CPU: Coming Soon GPU: https://amzn.to/3C3rXTl RAM: https://amzn.to/3Yl2j3N MOBO: https://amzn.to/4eZHIJp PSU: Coming Soon PSU (alternate): https://amzn.to/3YEWXlm Cooler: https://amzn.to/3YB6ASa Storage: https://amzn.to/4eVlIPW Keyboard: https://amzn.to/40nmr8a Mouse: https://amzn.to/4f0jgrk Monitor: https://amzn.to/4e7IIu7 Main parts included in the build: (UK Amazon) Case: https://amzn.to/3BTnulZ CPU: Coming Soon GPU: https://amzn.to/3AasNNz RAM: https://amzn.to/3YEYBUi MOBO: https://amzn.to/3BXtwC5 PSU: Coming Soon PSU (alternative): https://amzn.to/3BXtwC5 Cooler: https://amzn.to/3YjheM1 Storage: https://amzn.to/4eZ30Hl Keyboard: https://amzn.to/3O2POFD Mouse: https://amzn.to/40nmFMy Monitor: https://amzn.to/4778eh2 With a new platform comes new challenges and opportunities. Contrary to popular discussion I'm stoked to see Intel bring forward powerful chips with significantly reduced power consumption. This can and will pave the way for less heat in small form factor and greater headroom for future CPU's on the new socket too. What's not to love?
