    Show Notes

    CES Sideshow
    Back in 2014 Dennis wrote a short article about CES called “The CES Time Shift An objective look from the hardware media” and was where he coined the term “CES Sideshow”.  The CES Sideshow is basically the process of being in Las Vegas during CES and taking advantage of the event.  Meetings are setup similar to if this was a real trade show event however meetings are not in a single location.  One meeting might be at the MGM Grand while another can be at Palms, Bellagio, Caesars Palace, etc…  With everyone spread around it can be difficult to keep appointments without proper scheduling, it generally costs more AND limits the number of meetings you can have.

    In the first segment Dennis and Darren talk about some side events at CES including the Red Honda that the rental company didn’t want back to seeing a big ass boat in the North Hall.

    UnBoxing the Aorus Z390 Xtreme Waterforce Motherboard
    There were several really awesome products on display at CES from a 219inch Samsung television to the MSI Lightning and EVGA RTX 2080 Ti Kingpin edition.  But, none of those compare to the Aorus Z390 Xtreme Waterforce.  This is a ultra rare watercooled Z390 motherboard with RGB lights, overclocking pedigree AND, maybe the most important, the first one of these awesome products to be in the Hardware Asylum Labs.

    In this segment Dennis and Darren talk about the board, give their impressions and even plan out what the next steps will be.  Stay tuned for a future review featuring the Aorus Z390 Xtreme Waterforce and a few great watercooling related videos on the Hardware Asylum YouTube channel.
