Dash Drive air ae400 welcome to a product unboxing that won't be
interesting to you if you're not into liquid cooling but if you are then it
should be pretty interesting to you this is the coolant 380i CPU Cooler and what
makes it 380 is the fact that it is their current gener CPU water block and
what makes it I is that this is the Intel variant so cool an usually does a
great job of their included instructions and this is no exception even though
this is just printed out with what appears to be an inkjet printer it's
full color and does seem to outline exactly what you need to do this
particular block mounts on LGA 775 1155
1156 1150 2011 and 1366 however for some motherboards you
may need an adapter plate it has ah yes
there we go all of the below included in
the box so there is a back plate another
more different back plate a silicone isolator so this one right here will
keep the back plate from shorting out any of the components on your board if you have a board that that would be a
risk for it includes 211 mounting pegs
so you can see those will screw right into the built-in back plate around the
edge of your LGA 2011 board it also includes tension hold Downs for
presumably all of the other Intel sockets so those go right there a
ginormous tube of thermal goop coolant
branding on it okay as well as a bunch
of other okay well those are all the knickknacks that you need to mount the thing okay so let's go ahead and move
along to the coolant block coolant for me was always about fit and finish now
back in the day they weren't necessarily a performance Leader by any stretch of
the imagination but that was a long time ago these days the 380 is a topof the
range Block in terms of the performance and they're still maintaining that fit
and finish so it used to be they did weird stuff like gold plating and it
looked fantastic man did it look good on
the bottom of the block but gold actually isn't as good a thermal
conductor as some other metals and while it didn't really hurt performance it
certainly didn't help it and that seemed to be what they were going for was oh
you know goldplated for best Thal no no no no no so copper and silver are both
actually better conductors than gold these days they still have that mirror
shine finish so we'll go ahead and do that obligatory finger shot where you
you can see how reflective that bad boy is see I can see you right there in the
camera it's got a bit of a bow to the base this has been in fashion ever since
the release of the dtec fusion I believe it was the fusion V1 that initially had
the Bode base with a with a custom o-ring you could add to it uh so it has
a slightly bowed base this allows for it to flatten out once it is actually
applied to the block and that smoothness
at the actually that that shininess at the bottom doesn't necessarily affect
performance but it certainly looks nice it's a copper based block so it uses a
micro arrangement with a mid plate that
I don't think you can actually quite see but there's an intake block or there's an intake uh feed right there so there's
a mid plate and then there are microf fins in the bottom and then it uses a
very very very thick hold down plate
that's one of the thickest hold down plates I've ever seen you're going to be able to apply as much or as little
pressure as you want however it should be noted that you don't want to risk damaging your motherboard for the sake
of getting really good mounting pressure between your block and the motherboard
itself kence has configured this block so that it'll be compatible with pretty
much whatever G1 quarter standard fittings that you want to use even if
they are/ in ID 3/4 in od fittings which
is often hard to fit on something like a CPU block so Swift Tech's approach is
that they often allow you to user config
the inlet to move it away from the other one and this gives you a bit more Flow
Restriction and maybe a little bit less performance but allows you to fit bigger
fittings this one supports it out of the box no problem they're also clearly
labeled Inlet outlet and I think that
pretty much wraps it up other than to show you what the block will look like
on your board if you happen to have an ASUS Z87 Deluxe so there you go man I
love water cooling probably the best thing about it is just the sheer sex
appeal of it thank you for checking out this unboxing and first look at the 380i
