so I've got another self-indulgent unboxing here to do I'm unboxing the MCR
320 QP stack so there's actually two
different MCR 320 QPS and I'll get into what that is in just a moment it comes
in a plain brown box and yes this is yet
another water cooling item I'm actually working on a on a new water cooling
build right now so this is all stuff that I've actually bought for a system
that I'm building in the Corsair obsidian 800d so for starters let's get
into what comes in the accessory package first of all we have a wide variety of
rubber O-rings looks like it comes with six we
have these are great four little tiny
stubby fittings so these are half inch are they all/ in yes they are all halfin
fittings so how this is designed to work is if you have two of these stack
radiators or a stack and a non-stack you
would actually so these O-rings are for all the fittings that you would need to
stack two radiators together with two
fans sandwiched in between you use the little stubby fittings in here and the
water actually Flows In Parallel between
the two RADS and you use two of these
um Worm Drive clamps in order to make
sure that the tubing doesn't slip off in between not that I would worry too much
about that but it also prevents leaks if you use a worm dried clamp okay so we
have a stackable series radiators informational guide now I'm
probably going to throw this unboxing up on the product pages for both of the two
different RADS however uh this is obviously the stackable one so there are
some specific instructions including how to attach one stackable and one normal
rad in order to get the benefit of additional cooling capacity there's also
a quick guide here on how to use the little fasteners for attaching fans to
the radiator and that's about it okay
and then there's your standard MCR XXX
so whichever MCR series rad you're using uh installation guide so that shows you
how to use a screw to attach the fan to the radiator and caution do not poke the
screws too far and Pierce the radiator fins is probably what that is cautioning
you not to do yes it is okay so in this
little cardboard thing ofama Jiggy it's protected by cardboard so that these
screws won't Bounce Around and puncture the radiator in transit we've actually
got 12 Long screws and four short screws so the 12 Long screws would be used to
attach three fans uh to each mounting point on the rad and then the four short
screws will be used to attach this entire radiator and fan assembly up into
the top of the 800d case which I will likely show at some point in the future
and I'll make an annotation here if I ever get around to it so here we have a
nice sort of uh papery clothy shroud
over for a tissue paper shroud over the radiator itself so
swiftex MCR series RADS are a quiet
radiator so what that means is that there's a low fpi or fins per inch count
so that means that it is optimized to work best with quiet fans versus any a
competing radiator which might have more densely packed fins which will perform
better if you have high CFM fans but not nearly as well if you have low flow fans
so I'm I'm going to be using relatively low airflow fans some y loons so this is
definitely the optimal setup for me you can see we've got our threaded mounting
points uh sorry excuse me 12 uh six
aside okay and then we have the same thing on the other side of the rad now
what you may or may not have noticed when I flipped that over is that there are actually mounting spots for the
barbs on both sides of the stackable radiator so that's what I was talking
about before where I was saying you can actually use either two stackables or
one stackable and one non-stackable in order to set up two radiators next to
each other with just fittings in between a normal radiator would only have
fittings on one side so thank you for checking out my video blog and unboxing
on the swifttech MCR 320 quiet power
stackable or non-stackable depending which product page you're looking at
radiator
