00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,799
if you're an average computer user odds are excellent you're using one of these

2
00:00:03,199 --> 00:00:09,800
to cool your CPU on today's fast as possible we're going to tell you all you

3
00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:14,000
need to know about the basic aftermarket CPU cooling options that are available

4
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:17,760
to you now to be clear if you're not overclocking that is turning up the

5
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:22,240
speed of your CPU the stock cooler is very functional it's inexpensive in fact

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:26,199
it comes free with most CPUs it's easy to install It's relatively quiet as long

7
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:30,240
as again you're not trying to do anything crazy with it and it'll fit in

8
00:00:28,439 --> 00:00:34,480
pretty much any case and will not interfere with other components on the

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:38,960
motherboard such as high-profile memory sticks that stick up high like this the

10
00:00:37,239 --> 00:00:43,079
problem with stock coolers is the performance isn't very good look at the

11
00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:47,960
size of this an aftermarket air cooler can have way more surface area and use

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:51,199
much larger fans than a stock cooler it's also inherently very reliable

13
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:57,160
because there's almost nothing to fail on it it's great for overclocking and in

14
00:00:54,879 --> 00:01:00,920
terms of quiet operation being able to use large highly optimized high

15
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:06,320
performance performance fans such as this one or even taking all the fans off

16
00:01:03,559 --> 00:01:10,400
it and just using the case fans to passively draw air through a large heat

17
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:15,159
sink like this can make your system not only look great but be incredibly silent

18
00:01:13,159 --> 00:01:20,320
now the disadvantages of large aftermarket air cooling heat sinks can

19
00:01:17,479 --> 00:01:23,600
be mostly compatibility I can fit it on this way but I'm only going to be able

20
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,880
to put a fan in the middle because my high performance high-profile memory

21
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:31,640
gets in the way on this side and my mosfet gets in the way on this side also

22
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:35,880
if I oriented the this way and I had seven PCI slots and my top slot was for

23
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:39,640
my graphics card I wouldn't be able to install that graphics card and you can

24
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:44,520
clearly see it's not going to fit on this way at all if you buy a small you

25
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:48,320
know non-cooling optimized case you can even run into issues where the heat sink

26
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:51,200
is so high-profile off the motherboard that you can no longer close your case

27
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:55,119
side panel you do have to do some planning and put some thought into it

28
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:59,360
when you're using aftermarket air these pre-filled liquid cooling units can

29
00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:03,759
offer some advantages versus other Solutions they're very low profile on

30
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:08,440
the CPU socket usually the pump and the cooler are mounted on the CPU with tons

31
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,920
of room around it for high-profile memory or mosfet heat sinks or anything

32
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:17,280
else you'd want while the bulk of the cooling is actually done away from the

33
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,480
CPU socket using a large radiator you

34
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:27,000
get that performance that comes with having options available that even use

35
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:29,840
dual 120 mm or dual 140 mm fans and you

36
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:33,200
get Great Looks the only disadvantage for stuff like liquid coolers is it does

37
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:37,360
add a second point of failure to your system so if either the pump or the fan

38
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:41,560
fails on your liquid cooler then your CPU won't be very cool and your system

39
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:45,239
will probably automatically shut down and they can be a touch difficult to

40
00:02:43,239 --> 00:02:50,120
install so while they come in a variety of configurations thick radiators thin

41
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:54,000
radiators 120 mil 140 mil single radiator dual

42
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:59,040
radiator you're going to have to plan for it if you don't have a large gaming

43
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:03,640
oriented chassis there is a chance that a liquid cooler like this won't even fit

44
