The video provides a hands on look at two high end Computex 2015 showcases from Asus, the GTX 980 TI Strix graphics card and the Claymore RGB TKL keyboard. It explains the Strix card’s cooling solution, featuring DirectCU cooling with multiple heat pipes and a redesigned dual fan system, and notes the card’s size as a dual slot that is longer and taller than standard PCBs, which could affect case compatibility. The presenter shares practical details on overclocking capabilities via GPU Tweak 2 and other software, including pre set modes like OC, Gaming, and Silent, and discusses memory speeds as well as the differences in temperatures and fan behavior across these modes. The Claymore RGB keyboard is highlighted for its modular 10 key add on, which can be positioned on either side to function as a macro pad or a numeric keypad, and for its collaboration with Cherry RGB switches that were developed with Corsair, as well as its ability to synchronize with a compatible motherboard for RGB lighting and fan control. The host also teases future coverage, mentions sponsorship and learning resources, and invites viewer feedback on which product they want reviewed in depth, signaling the video as a first look rather than a finished evaluation. The overall presentation blends hardware specifics, practical size and compatibility notes, and intriguing modular and synchronization features to set expectations for further reviews and comparisons.
