1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:06,319
all right so we have the Corsair h70 hooked up we've got the two fans blowing

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:10,120
at full speed in a push pull configuration it is quite loud as I

3
00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:16,160
mentioned before there you can see the updated Corsair CPU block SL pump unit

4
00:00:14,519 --> 00:00:19,279
so I'm just coming around to this side so you can get a better look at it all

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:25,739
right and then we've got the uh the flexible hose barbs along with the uh

6
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:32,559
uh rotary fittings that's the word I was looking for then will uh that will

7
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:36,960
rotate according to where you want to mount your fan radiator unit now you're

8
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:42,160
going to see performance is quite a bit better than the Vantage unit and the

9
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:46,600
reason for that is because of just the

10
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:49,960
basic laws of physics um here compare

11
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:51,520
the radiator size whoops okay there

12
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:57,680
compare the radiator size you can see the h70 radiator is about three times

13
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:02,399
thicker than the Vantage radiator and it just comes down to the basics of how

14
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:06,799
much surface area is there how much heat can you dissipate well there you go so

15
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:11,240
that's why the Vantage didn't get much of a benefit from two fans but the h70

16
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:14,840
does because you actually need a lot more static pressure to push the air

17
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:18,439
through such a thick radiator and get all that cooling potential out of it so

18
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:22,880
as the last comparison I'm going to throw a decent high-end air cooler on

19
00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:28,880
here and see how that compares to the h70 as well as to the cool

20
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:33,439
Advantage I'm just dismantling the h70 right now and I thought I'd actually

21
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:35,399
give kulet major props for their uh for

22
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:41,439
their mounting system which is so easy you just uh you just align the little um

23
00:01:39,399 --> 00:01:45,960
bolt through on the top see you just align it with the line for which uh

24
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:51,520
which mounting mechanism you need 1366 1156 and 775 and then they have three

25
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:55,680
separate back plates for all three um and then they've got like these great

26
00:01:52,759 --> 00:02:00,320
thumb screws that you can use to bolt it on and the coair one while it's very

27
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,640
secure and attaches well and all of that good stuff uh it's a little bit finicky

28
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:08,640
you have to put it together you have to put these little plastic Clips in then you have to thread the screws through

29
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:13,480
and then you got to like kind of position the whole thing in the right place and then you got to use a

30
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:16,680
screwdriver it has no thumb screws uh you got to insert the little pegs in the

31
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:21,879
back of the back plate it's not really very intuitive like I said once it's on

32
00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:26,599
it looks good and it's very secure but um it could use a little bit of e of use

33
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:31,599
ease of use work all right so now we've got a nocta

34
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:36,000
nhu 12p on the bench I'm using those same Corsair fans because I want this to

35
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:40,680
be as much an Apples to Apples comparison as possible so you can see

36
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:46,840
there I've got the other cor font it down on the other side now what I want you to note first of all is the size so

37
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:50,640
look at the density of the fins on there look at the density of the fins on the

38
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:55,560
Noctua look at the approximate physical sizes of the two units you can see they

39
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:59,560
are quite similar now what you're about

40
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:02,680
to see may shock you the noct TOA unit

41
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:05,040
per performs not as well as the h70 all

42
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:11,879
right so it's about 5° higher than the h70 but that is to be expected given

43
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,879
that it is not optimized for high RPM

44
00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:17,159
fans it is actually optimized for low RPM fans so if we were to take a cooler

45
00:03:15,959 --> 00:03:21,440
which I probably should have done in retrospect that has a more densely

46
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:26,200
packed fin Arrangement we'd probably actually see similar performance to the

47
00:03:23,239 --> 00:03:30,360
h70 now that's not to say that the h70 doesn't have a place in the world

48
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:35,319
because the reality of it is that that uh coolers like the vantage with their

49
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:39,720
LCD screens their programmable uh Wireless communication system for lights

50
00:03:37,519 --> 00:03:44,280
and other cooling devices in your system have a place they are they belong with

51
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:49,840
people who are more worried about the features than the maximum possible

52
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:52,439
overclock uh coolers like the age 70 I

53
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:57,840
mean really at 5° better than this particular Tower cooler that puts it

54
00:03:54,319 --> 00:04:00,560
right up there in the top of air coolers

55
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:06,120
so you know that's an impressive feet in itself and in a nice compact package

56
00:04:03,239 --> 00:04:09,959
that allows you to a ship your system if you need to so if you're buying a system

57
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:13,799
online the h70 is a great choice because it's much less likely to come dislodged

58
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:19,239
because it doesn't have as much weight hanging off the CPU socket and it also

59
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:23,280
allows you to oh wait hold on I was going to say something else right yeah

60
00:04:20,919 --> 00:04:27,040
it allows you to take your your cooling element so you're you're cooling

61
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:31,759
radiator whether it's a radiator on a CPU heat sink or a radiator with water

62
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:35,320
flow flowing through it and put it right at the back of the case where you can

63
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:39,160
take nice fresh air and use that to cool it so you can get better CPU

64
00:04:36,919 --> 00:04:42,560
temperatures at the cost of slightly worse internal case temperatures so

65
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:47,400
thank you for checking out my little review I'm actually not going to bother with the graph after all because I

66
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:53,280
showed you guys the temperatures in fact here I'll even you know what here's how

67
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:57,199
I'll do my graph uh nh-

68
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:59,320
u2p okay and then that one was about 73

69
00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:03,360
to 81 so I'll show you guys the cooling performance that I had written down so

70
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:08,520
you can see the vantage with its stock fan was a little bit higher than the

71
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:12,199
vantage with dual fans the h70 is the big winner in terms of performance

72
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:19,199
although it is quite expensive and then the nhu 12p I believe that's the se2 or

73
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:21,520
something like that um was somewhere in

74
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:26,560
between but you have the convenience of it just being an air cooler and just

75
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:28,960
strapped to the CPU heat sink um

76
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:31,639
brackets CPU mounting holes that's what I was looking for
