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

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:11.920
latest the performance Series so like the others it is designed for quiet

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:16.520
performance less than 18 DB and this one says quietest noise levels uh just like

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

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

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:27.480
the specifications here you can pause the video and read them if you so

00:00:27.560 --> 00:00:34.040
desire weighs about a half a Kil

00:00:30.759 --> 00:00:36.760
so that is about I'm I'm roughing this

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

00:00:38.680 --> 00:00:45.039
substantially less than the extreme series cooler although it is less

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:49.239
expensive so these are making direct contact with the bottom of the CPU or

00:00:47.239 --> 00:00:53.280
the top of the CPU so that means you do get slightly better thermal performance

00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:58.440
that way it is using a silen x fan as well as a

00:00:55.239 --> 00:01:00.359
new excuse me a new Universal mounting

00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:04.760
system now you've got a bunch of CPU logos here that shows all the different

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:13.600
CPUs it can mount on which include am2 am2 plus am3 LGA 775 LGA 1156 LGA

00:01:10.600 --> 00:01:14.640
1366 and all of the CPUs that go in

00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:18.880
those sockets and trying to get the heat sink

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

00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:25.280
already looked at one of the lower end coolers and the highest end cooler from

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

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:33.520
similar load out of equipment here

00:01:31.479 --> 00:01:39.720
although I do see one difference already unlike its Brethren this one

00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:44.520
uses fan Clips instead of the uh the little rubber Mount so it's a slight

00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:48.320
difference there uh then you've got a fan speed controller which was included

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:54.479
with the others your AMD mounting hardware a thermal compound tube uh

00:01:52.119 --> 00:01:58.560
double-sided velcro for mounting the fan controller and you've got some mounting

00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:02.520
hardware screws and thumb screws and washers and such then you have the

00:02:00.759 --> 00:02:06.280
universal back plate which is compatible with all the sockets I listed before and

00:02:04.759 --> 00:02:12.000
that pretty much does it for accessories so let's have a look at the cooler

00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:13.640
itself ooh that's really thin okay I can

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

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:20.879
although I don't know what the retail price is going to be one thing that

00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:24.599
appeals to me right off the bat though this this really does is the fact that

00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:29.120
it's shaped like a

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

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

00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:40.480
like with the extreme uh on the places where the fan blades are actually going

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

00:02:42.519 --> 00:02:46.959
material they're going ahead and they're taking all of the cooling potential of

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

00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:56.239
then basically they're taking the middle of the

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

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

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:09.959
here right here right in that uh

00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:13.879
wheelhouse so to speak all right so let's um oh this is interesting so

00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:17.200
they've actually got little grommet spots on here for those rubber mounts

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

00:03:18.959 --> 00:03:24.120
mount our fan using a uh using the clip

00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:28.080
mounting system so go ahead and just throw that on there it doesn't have an

00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:32.879
anti vibration Mount so that's one thing that um could probably be improved about

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

00:03:35.239 --> 00:03:41.920
camera it's always fun when I try and figure out stuff on camera because like

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

00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:52.319
take a lot of flack for not figuring things out right away on camera but uh

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

00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:59.560
that goes there and maybe this goes here

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

00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:11.040
nonsense this doesn't seem like you know the most uh intuitive userfriendly way

00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:12.560
to mount things but um I mean I guess it

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

00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:22.240
there for Better or For Worse okay so I'm going to go ahead and

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

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

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

00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:37.680
this way maybe I did it wrong hold on does that go

00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:45.720
there huh it seems to kind of work either way so I mounted those two

00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:52.759
different ways I think but uh they both hold the fan on pretty good so whatever

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:55.680
okay anyway it's actually at an angle

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

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

00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:06.919
you'd probably want to position this if you have a typical case you'd probably

00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:10.720
want to position it this way so that it's blowing down a little bit towards

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

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:21.160
ASUS motherboard so you see that mosfet cooler in there the blue and gray one so

00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:25.160
if you position this cooler so that it actually sits on the

00:05:23.280 --> 00:05:29.000
motherboard this way it would blow down towards those keeping your motherboard

00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:34.800
cooler and hopefully keeping the components on there more reliable and uh

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

00:05:37.919 --> 00:05:43.080
about the uh the positioning of the heat pipes because really I mean you can

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:45.560
throw more heat pipes at the problem but ultimately if you don't carry the heat

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

00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:54.120
obligatory finger shot where you can see that it's nice and flat even across

00:05:52.280 --> 00:05:58.400
these heat pipes that are machined right into the base we have our Universal hold

00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:02.160
down here we've also got a little heat sink here for dissipating a little bit

00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:06.319
more heat which I've seen featured on the other coolers in this series already

00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:11.280
we've got the um the slightly dimpled fins which I

00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:15.000
talked a lot about in the extreme overview and unboxing and that gives us

00:06:13.400 --> 00:06:19.520
a little bit more surface area for slightly better cooling compared to just

00:06:17.080 --> 00:06:24.840
a a flat aluminum fin so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look

00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:28.120
at the silenx aphysio performance CPU

00:06:24.840 --> 00:06:28.120
heat sink
