if you're an average computer user odds are excellent you're using one of these

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

00:00:07.359 --> 00:00:14.000
need to know about the basic aftermarket CPU cooling options that are available

00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:17.760
to you now to be clear if you're not overclocking that is turning up the

00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:22.240
speed of your CPU the stock cooler is very functional it's inexpensive in fact

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

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

00:00:28.439 --> 00:00:34.480
pretty much any case and will not interfere with other components on the

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:38.960
motherboard such as high-profile memory sticks that stick up high like this the

00:00:37.239 --> 00:00:43.079
problem with stock coolers is the performance isn't very good look at the

00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:47.960
size of this an aftermarket air cooler can have way more surface area and use

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:51.199
much larger fans than a stock cooler it's also inherently very reliable

00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:57.160
because there's almost nothing to fail on it it's great for overclocking and in

00:00:54.879 --> 00:01:00.920
terms of quiet operation being able to use large highly optimized high

00:00:59.559 --> 00:01:06.320
performance performance fans such as this one or even taking all the fans off

00:01:03.559 --> 00:01:10.400
it and just using the case fans to passively draw air through a large heat

00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:15.159
sink like this can make your system not only look great but be incredibly silent

00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:20.320
now the disadvantages of large aftermarket air cooling heat sinks can

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

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.880
to put a fan in the middle because my high performance high-profile memory

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

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

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:39.640
my graphics card I wouldn't be able to install that graphics card and you can

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

00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:48.320
know non-cooling optimized case you can even run into issues where the heat sink

00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:51.200
is so high-profile off the motherboard that you can no longer close your case

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:55.119
side panel you do have to do some planning and put some thought into it

00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:59.360
when you're using aftermarket air these pre-filled liquid cooling units can

00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:03.759
offer some advantages versus other Solutions they're very low profile on

00:02:01.240 --> 00:02:08.440
the CPU socket usually the pump and the cooler are mounted on the CPU with tons

00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:11.920
of room around it for high-profile memory or mosfet heat sinks or anything

00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:17.280
else you'd want while the bulk of the cooling is actually done away from the

00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:19.480
CPU socket using a large radiator you

00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:27.000
get that performance that comes with having options available that even use

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:29.840
dual 120 mm or dual 140 mm fans and you

00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:33.200
get Great Looks the only disadvantage for stuff like liquid coolers is it does

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

00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:41.560
fails on your liquid cooler then your CPU won't be very cool and your system

00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:45.239
will probably automatically shut down and they can be a touch difficult to

00:02:43.239 --> 00:02:50.120
install so while they come in a variety of configurations thick radiators thin

00:02:47.480 --> 00:02:54.000
radiators 120 mil 140 mil single radiator dual

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

00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:03.640
oriented chassis there is a chance that a liquid cooler like this won't even fit

00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:07.319
