1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,520
I'll be continuing my look at silent X's a physio line of heat sinks with the

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:11,920
latest the performance Series so like the others it is designed for quiet

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:16,520
performance less than 18 DB and this one says quietest noise levels uh just like

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:20,359
all the others I've already had a look at the compact as well as the extreme

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:24,000
over there and we're just waiting to do these last two so let's have a look at

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,480
the specifications here you can pause the video and read them if you so

7
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:34,040
desire weighs about a half a Kil

8
00:00:30,759 --> 00:00:36,760
so that is about I'm I'm roughing this

9
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:40,280
so like 3/4 of a pound or so you've got three 6 mm heat pipe so that is

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:45,039
substantially less than the extreme series cooler although it is less

11
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:49,239
expensive so these are making direct contact with the bottom of the CPU or

12
00:00:47,239 --> 00:00:53,280
the top of the CPU so that means you do get slightly better thermal performance

13
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:58,440
that way it is using a silen x fan as well as a

14
00:00:55,239 --> 00:01:00,359
new excuse me a new Universal mounting

15
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:04,760
system now you've got a bunch of CPU logos here that shows all the different

16
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:13,600
CPUs it can mount on which include am2 am2 plus am3 LGA 775 LGA 1156 LGA

17
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,640
1366 and all of the CPUs that go in

18
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:18,880
those sockets and trying to get the heat sink

19
00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:21,680
out so let's go ahead and have a look at the accessory package now that I've

20
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:25,280
already looked at one of the lower end coolers and the highest end cooler from

21
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:31,479
this series I'm going to go ahead and assume that this is going to be a fairly

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,520
similar load out of equipment here

23
00:01:31,479 --> 00:01:39,720
although I do see one difference already unlike its Brethren this one

24
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:44,520
uses fan Clips instead of the uh the little rubber Mount so it's a slight

25
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:48,320
difference there uh then you've got a fan speed controller which was included

26
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:54,479
with the others your AMD mounting hardware a thermal compound tube uh

27
00:01:52,119 --> 00:01:58,560
double-sided velcro for mounting the fan controller and you've got some mounting

28
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:02,520
hardware screws and thumb screws and washers and such then you have the

29
00:02:00,759 --> 00:02:06,280
universal back plate which is compatible with all the sockets I listed before and

30
00:02:04,759 --> 00:02:12,000
that pretty much does it for accessories so let's have a look at the cooler

31
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:13,640
itself ooh that's really thin okay I can

32
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,560
tell you right off the bat I don't like this one quite as much as the others

33
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,879
although I don't know what the retail price is going to be one thing that

34
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,599
appeals to me right off the bat though this this really does is the fact that

35
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:29,120
it's shaped like a

36
00:02:26,519 --> 00:02:32,640
radiator I don't know why I care about that but you you can see that what

37
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:37,080
silent X is trying to do here is they're trying to focus all of the cooling just

38
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:40,480
like with the extreme uh on the places where the fan blades are actually going

39
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,920
to blow on them so you see you hold the fan here so they haven't wasted any

40
00:02:42,519 --> 00:02:46,959
material they're going ahead and they're taking all of the cooling potential of

41
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:52,480
this they're going to dissipate a little bit of heat with this it'll get some incidental air flow from the fan and

42
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:56,239
then basically they're taking the middle of the

43
00:02:53,840 --> 00:03:00,040
CPU they're taking the heat away from it and they're putting it right in the way

44
00:02:57,959 --> 00:03:07,560
of where the fan is going to be blowing the most air so that means not here not

45
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:09,959
here right here right in that uh

46
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:13,879
wheelhouse so to speak all right so let's um oh this is interesting so

47
00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:17,200
they've actually got little grommet spots on here for those rubber mounts

48
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:22,360
but they haven't included them for some reason so we're going to go ahead and

49
00:03:18,959 --> 00:03:24,120
mount our fan using a uh using the clip

50
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:28,080
mounting system so go ahead and just throw that on there it doesn't have an

51
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:32,879
anti vibration Mount so that's one thing that um could probably be improved about

52
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:37,040
this particular product and let's see if I can figure out how to use these on

53
00:03:35,239 --> 00:03:41,920
camera it's always fun when I try and figure out stuff on camera because like

54
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:46,040
believe it or not it's hard I do have something else to concentrate on here I

55
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:52,319
take a lot of flack for not figuring things out right away on camera but uh

56
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:57,959
yeah it's hard it's harder than it looks I'll tell you that much okay so maybe

57
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,560
that goes there and maybe this goes here

58
00:03:57,959 --> 00:04:04,480
I've never liked these fan Clips I think it's it's thermal right that started this

59
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:11,040
nonsense this doesn't seem like you know the most uh intuitive userfriendly way

60
00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:12,560
to mount things but um I mean I guess it

61
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:17,199
kind of works there we go it's on I don't know if I did it right but it's on

62
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:22,240
there for Better or For Worse okay so I'm going to go ahead and

63
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:25,560
uh put the other fan clip on and see if I've actually got that right now what

64
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:29,360
you might notice as I flip the heat sink over is that it's not actually flat I'm

65
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:35,080
just going to make sure that it doesn't go this way maybe it does maybe it goes

66
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,680
this way maybe I did it wrong hold on does that go

67
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:45,720
there huh it seems to kind of work either way so I mounted those two

68
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:52,759
different ways I think but uh they both hold the fan on pretty good so whatever

69
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:55,680
okay anyway it's actually at an angle

70
00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:58,560
and I'm going to go ahead and speculate although I can't say this for certain

71
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:03,600
that the reason for that is they want to get a little bit more in accidental air flow blowing at the mosfet cooler so

72
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,919
you'd probably want to position this if you have a typical case you'd probably

73
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:10,720
want to position it this way so that it's blowing down a little bit towards

74
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:17,240
the coolers at the back at the back of the motherboard here I'll show you an example of what I mean on uh this is an

75
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:21,160
ASUS motherboard so you see that mosfet cooler in there the blue and gray one so

76
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:25,160
if you position this cooler so that it actually sits on the

77
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:29,000
motherboard this way it would blow down towards those keeping your motherboard

78
00:05:26,759 --> 00:05:34,800
cooler and hopefully keeping the components on there more reliable and uh

79
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:39,960
overall happier so we've got a fan on here we have uh I already talked a lot

80
00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:43,080
about the uh the positioning of the heat pipes because really I mean you can

81
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,560
throw more heat pipes at the problem but ultimately if you don't carry the heat

82
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:50,680
to somewhere where you're going to be able to dissipate it it's not going to do you any good so we're going to do our

83
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,120
obligatory finger shot where you can see that it's nice and flat even across

84
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:58,400
these heat pipes that are machined right into the base we have our Universal hold

85
00:05:56,319 --> 00:06:02,160
down here we've also got a little heat sink here for dissipating a little bit

86
00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:06,319
more heat which I've seen featured on the other coolers in this series already

87
00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:11,280
we've got the um the slightly dimpled fins which I

88
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:15,000
talked a lot about in the extreme overview and unboxing and that gives us

89
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:19,520
a little bit more surface area for slightly better cooling compared to just

90
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:24,840
a a flat aluminum fin so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look

91
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:28,120
at the silenx aphysio performance CPU

92
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:28,120
heat sink
