00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:05.600
so today I'm going to be having a quick look at a product that you probably

00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:09.880
don't recognize because normally thermal R products come in a brown box but it

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:14.120
looks like they've gone away from their completely boring packaging and they've

00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:18.160
decided to go with a black box with actual words on it other than just

00:00:16.279 --> 00:00:22.680
thermal right okay but that's here too obviously and then they've actually gone

00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:26.320
with like a shiny venomous X green sort

00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:26.320
of logoeyelash

00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:36.719
5 so it is completely up to date in terms of the CPUs it supports and this

00:00:34.040 --> 00:00:42.520
is the successor to the famous or inFAMOUS or whatever it is the legendary

00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:47.280
Ultra 120 extreme so this is what thermal right is saying is going to beat

00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:51.719
it handily so let's have a look at what is included in our accessory pack first

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:55.680
this is a nice box actually look it's all thermal r on the inside it's even

00:00:54.160 --> 00:01:00.039
black on the inside that looks that looks great okay so

00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:03.920
accessories all right it comes in a nice little assembly package look at that so

00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:08.040
it includes how exactly does this work okay

00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:13.240
so it includes you know what I'm not going to bother taking this out because I think it should be pretty

00:01:10.520 --> 00:01:16.520
straightforward but we've got one okay actually maybe it's not that

00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:21.479
straightforward yeah I better take this out okay hold on if I can figure out how

00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:24.159
this baggie comes apart then I would uh go ahead and do

00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:29.079
that I got it I got it no I don't got it

00:01:28.119 --> 00:01:33.560
you know what let's pull out the instructions and go for from there oh I have a knife now excellent okay let's

00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:37.680
have a look at the instructions first that might make life simpler okay so

00:01:35.320 --> 00:01:44.119
here's how it works you have a multiple support back plate so that has 775 1156

00:01:41.320 --> 00:01:50.119
and 1366 holes you put these uh thumb screws onto it and then from there you

00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:52.640
install the anchoring bracket Mount okay

00:01:50.119 --> 00:01:56.200
and then you have little like thumb nuts that go onto those screws that we

00:01:54.280 --> 00:02:01.079
applied before so I guess that goes on top of the

00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:03.039
board yeah yeah so these spacers first

00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:06.880
so the back plate is alone then these spacers then this is on top of the

00:02:05.119 --> 00:02:09.520
spacers and then this holds it down and then you use the pressure adjustable

00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:14.599
mounting plate and this is one of the big Innovations they've made with the venomous X because a lot of people were

00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:19.720
able to get better performance out of the ultra 120 extreme by actually

00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:23.160
adjusting how tight it mounted down on the CPU so now they're just building

00:02:21.519 --> 00:02:27.280
that functionality right in so you can adjust it okay and then you Ed the

00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:30.800
standard thermal rate fan Clips in order to mount the fan and let's see yeah

00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:34.800
we've got a diagram right here of exactly how all of that works so you can

00:02:32.920 --> 00:02:38.080
see this is going to be the motherboard surface here and then you've got your

00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:42.360
little nuts and then you've got your hold down plate so it's all nice and

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:46.319
chrome and shiny on the top and then the back plate is just a standard sort of

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:50.840
black all right and there's the the adjustable knob for the mounting

00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:54.720
pressure okay so let's keep moving next we've got a thermal right sticker for

00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:58.720
your case or your wall or wherever you want to put it next we've got an

00:02:56.440 --> 00:03:01.720
assembly package oh this is just contents to make sure you you can do a

00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:04.959
double check before you get started that everything is there oh they even include

00:03:03.480 --> 00:03:11.040
a little wrench for tightening the adjustable mounting pressure thing that's pretty nice all right then we've

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:16.440
got a piece of foam and then we have the coveted venomous X

00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:21.799
itself nice and protected in there it's a very nice box sorry I know I'm kind of

00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:24.080
harping on the box but it's uh I

00:03:21.799 --> 00:03:28.640
approve okay so they've changed the look of it a little bit from the ultra 120

00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:34.000
extreme first of all okay the first thing I noticed is that you've got

00:03:30.720 --> 00:03:35.959
little um little jutting out pieces of

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:40.080
metal okay so that gives you a little bit can you really tell what it looks

00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:43.239
kind of weird but all it is is it's a different shape from the top down okay

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:48.000
they've got the same thing that they were doing before where the one side uh

00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:52.120
tips up and the other side tips down and I'm I believe that is to create more

00:03:50.519 --> 00:03:56.920
turbulence as the air is flowing through the heat sink which means more more uh

00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.599
more surface contact between the heat sink and the air and more heat exchange

00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:04.720
all right so let's have a look from the side you can see what I mean here where

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:10.079
you can see that on this side they Point down and on this side they point up okay

00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:15.200
oh the cameraman's checking out these six heat pipes that go down one side and

00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:18.400
then up the other side and then the thermal right logo that you've got on

00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:22.240
the top thermal right's never been about like you know weird plastic shrouds or

00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:27.160
anything like that they go with a simple elegant look and I do really really like

00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:30.280
it nice and shiny all right then we'll have a look at the other side which

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:34.000
basically looks like the first side that we looked at okay so let's keep moving

00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:39.680
on from there so there you have it they've jammed as many heat pipes as

00:04:36.520 --> 00:04:42.199
they realistically possibly can into as

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:46.520
small a space as possible now we don't have heat pipe direct touch with this

00:04:43.919 --> 00:04:50.680
particular heat sink but uh personally I've yet to see any evidence that that

00:04:48.280 --> 00:04:54.280
actually improves things on its own um you're far better off with a with a

00:04:52.280 --> 00:04:57.880
well-engineered heat sink that doesn't include heat pipe direct touch versus a

00:04:55.919 --> 00:05:03.080
poorly engineered one that does and remember too that not all heat pipes are

00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:05.880
created equal thermal does use a special

00:05:03.080 --> 00:05:09.160
gous liquidy uh substance inside their heat pipes that other manufacturers do

00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:12.600
not and they claim it does help them conduct heat better so let's do the

00:05:10.840 --> 00:05:16.720
obligatory finger shot here you can see that is incredibly shiny that's a mere

00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:22.039
finish you can see my hand no matter how far back I move away if you can yeah you

00:05:20.039 --> 00:05:28.039
can yeah you see that's very shiny anyway thank you for checking out my

00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:30.720
unboxing of the thermal R venomous X can

00:05:28.039 --> 00:05:30.720
I see you through
