custom fan speed control software as well as ah more about the CPU that is not in here because this box includes an AMD processor that is not in here installation instructions limited warranty information and a liquid CPU cooling system designed for use in a desktop PC so let's have a look at what is just the liquid cooling system from AMD so you can see right here who the o M for this particular liquid cooling system might happen to be acch shows you how to install it okay cool beans next we have the liquid CPU cooling chill Control software which you should not use you should download the latest from someone's website whether it happens to be uh AMD or acch okay it includes mounting hardware for AMD systems there you go so we got screws for the fans screws for the hold down plate as well as a little ring that goes here apparently or go somewhere okay and then mounting clips it is compatible with am2 am2 plus am3 and am3 plus two fans included they seem to be of some kind of reasonable quality cuz they don't have like a ton of flex to them these are everflow motor your life r121 1225 5su fans and there are two so you can mount them in push pull if you see fit or you can just put one of them on your CPU and like put the other one somewhere else they're reasonably nice looking you got your little AMD sticker going on there that's green as well as nice short uh four pin pwm connectors that are using all black wires and then a black connector so they are very aesthetically pleasing if nothing else all right as you can see there is no CPU in the Box although yours would have a CPU in the Box here we see the bottom cold plate as they call it or CPU block as I think we should probably be calling it with pre-applied thermal interface material it is a very high quality Tim that is installed on the bottom of these acch coolers I do know that for a fact changing it out with something better actually will not really net you much in terms of a performance gain here we have uh the power for the pump itself as well as the pass through that will power the fan so this cable right here runs to power both of your pwm fans and it can control the fan speeds on both of them at the same time you can see the only wire that is not running to the second connector is the RPM monitor so the RPM monitor will only work on one of the fans as long as they are both plugged into the radiator you would hopefully notice that the rad that one of the fans isn't working long before uh both of them failed and then you know your CPU wasn't getting any cooling because as long as one of them is going you should be fine so this uses a thick style radiator much like the corser h70 or h80 which means that if you are running in push pull it's ideal because there is a lot of resistance to the air being pushed or pulled through the radiator if you don't have two fans and in order to get the best possible performance out of the surface area you have available you want to make sure you're pushing lots of air flow through it now when they talk about super flexible tubes they are not kidding these are just like the N the ones on the ntech 920 where you can bend them up like this and you can see look ma no Kinks so you will be able to get adequate liquid flow to your CPU regardless of what kind of a you know contortionist configuration you have to do in order to get the block positioned correctly over your over your processor now the other thing that can be a bit of a challenge for these is you got to make sure you do have adequate room in your case most cases that accept a 120 mm cooling fan at the back will work with this kind of a radiator you can see there's a small tank at the top as well as a small tank at the bottom but on the sides they're fairly low profile so it's exactly the width of okay slightly more than the width of a fan I think that pretty much covers it if you want to know how it performs go find out how an h70 performs and it's going to be pretty much that but probably a little bit better cuz these are better fans and uh you got your unlocked FX processor thing going on on the top here that's where the RGB LEDs are so you
