AMD Special Edition Bulldozer FX NCIX PC System First Look Linus Tech Tips

The video opens with Linus introducing a high end NCIX PC system built around AMD's Bulldozer FX platform, promising a first look at a machine designed for enthusiasts. The host walks through the core hardware, starting with an AMD FX 8150 eight core processor cooled by a Corsair H100 in a push pull configuration to maximize airflow and static pressure. He highlights the Crosshair V Formula motherboard’s support for Bulldozer FX, and notes the possibility of running dual AMD Radeon HD 6970 DirectCU2 graphics cards in CrossFire for higher graphics throughput, depending on power supply and case space. The system is showcased with a red painted special edition aesthetic, including eight gigabytes of Corsair Vengeance memory that can be upgraded to sixteen, a Crucial M4 SSD, and a sizable 3 TB storage drive. Additional components include an AX850 power supply, Blu ray drive, and a Corsair H100 liquid cooling solution whose fan speeds are adjustable via a front panel control. Linus points out the chassis’s sharp black and red styling, the American-style case from Corsair, and the overall theme’s cohesive look. The segment ends with a teaser about future overclocking results and a call to subscribe for more unboxings, reviews, and computer content from Linus Tech Tips, signaling that the Bulldozer FX platform will be explored further in follow-up tests and benchmarks.
