ASUS Booth System Showcase @ PAX Prime 2015

This video covers ASUS booth highlights at PAX Prime 2015, focusing on three standout systems around the booth and the storytelling around each build. The segment introduces the event coverage sponsored by HyperX and thanks Asus and Corsair, then pivots to a tour of the notable rigs. The first featured machine, built by Crazy Ivan for NCIX PC, showcases soft water cooling with a nontraditional hardline look, custom backplate artwork, automotive-inspired paint accents, and LED-modulated cable runs. It runs an Intel i7 6700K, 16 GB Corsair RAM, a 750 Series 400 GB SSD, dual Nvidia GTX 980 graphics, a Z170-based Maximus 8 board, and a Corsair HX850i power supply, with an emphasis on ASUS branding and elite partner status. Next, Puget’s system emphasizes extreme storage: a 1.2 TB Intel 750 NVMe as the main drive, two 1 TB Samsung 850 EVOs, and three 6 TB WD Red drives, all housed in a compact chassis alongside a Maximus 8 Hero Z170 motherboard and 32 GB Crucial memory, paired with an ASUS Strix GTX 980 Ti. Finally, there’s a racing-sim rig built around a Maximus 8 Hero board, dual GTX 980 Ti cards, Corsair SSD, and an AX1200i supply, mounted under a hydraulic racing seat. The presenter wraps up by highlighting these systems as the top three at the show, noting their unique strengths in cooling, storage, and immersive gaming experiences, and encourages viewers to explore sponsor channels and product links in the description.
