WEBVTT 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 00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:10.120 at full speed in a push pull configuration it is quite loud as I 00:00:08.120 --> 00:00:16.160 mentioned before there you can see the updated Corsair CPU block SL pump unit 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 00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:25.739 right and then we've got the uh the flexible hose barbs along with the uh 00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:32.559 uh rotary fittings that's the word I was looking for then will uh that will 00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:36.960 rotate according to where you want to mount your fan radiator unit now you're 00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:42.160 going to see performance is quite a bit better than the Vantage unit and the 00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:46.600 reason for that is because of just the 00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:49.960 basic laws of physics um here compare 00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:51.520 the radiator size whoops okay there 00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:57.680 compare the radiator size you can see the h70 radiator is about three times 00:00:55.320 --> 00:01:02.399 thicker than the Vantage radiator and it just comes down to the basics of how 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:06.799 much surface area is there how much heat can you dissipate well there you go so 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 00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:14.840 does because you actually need a lot more static pressure to push the air 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:18.439 through such a thick radiator and get all that cooling potential out of it so 00:01:17.119 --> 00:01:22.880 as the last comparison I'm going to throw a decent high-end air cooler on 00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:28.880 here and see how that compares to the h70 as well as to the cool 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:33.439 Advantage I'm just dismantling the h70 right now and I thought I'd actually 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:35.399 give kulet major props for their uh for 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:41.439 their mounting system which is so easy you just uh you just align the little um 00:01:39.399 --> 00:01:45.960 bolt through on the top see you just align it with the line for which uh 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:51.520 which mounting mechanism you need 1366 1156 and 775 and then they have three 00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:55.680 separate back plates for all three um and then they've got like these great 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 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 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 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 00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:16.680 screwdriver it has no thumb screws uh you got to insert the little pegs in the 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 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 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:31.599 ease of use work all right so now we've got a nocta 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 00:02:34.239 --> 00:02:40.680 be as much an Apples to Apples comparison as possible so you can see 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 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 00:02:48.239 --> 00:02:55.560 Noctua look at the approximate physical sizes of the two units you can see they 00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:59.560 are quite similar now what you're about 00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:02.680 to see may shock you the noct TOA unit 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:05.040 per performs not as well as the h70 all 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 00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:13.879 that it is not optimized for high RPM 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 00:03:15.959 --> 00:03:21.440 which I probably should have done in retrospect that has a more densely 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:26.200 packed fin Arrangement we'd probably actually see similar performance to the 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 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:35.319 because the reality of it is that that uh coolers like the vantage with their 00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:39.720 LCD screens their programmable uh Wireless communication system for lights 00:03:37.519 --> 00:03:44.280 and other cooling devices in your system have a place they are they belong with 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:49.840 people who are more worried about the features than the maximum possible 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:52.439 overclock uh coolers like the age 70 I 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:57.840 mean really at 5° better than this particular Tower cooler that puts it 00:03:54.319 --> 00:04:00.560 right up there in the top of air coolers 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:06.120 so you know that's an impressive feet in itself and in a nice compact package 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 00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:13.799 online the h70 is a great choice because it's much less likely to come dislodged 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:19.239 because it doesn't have as much weight hanging off the CPU socket and it also 00:04:16.880 --> 00:04:23.280 allows you to oh wait hold on I was going to say something else right yeah 00:04:20.919 --> 00:04:27.040 it allows you to take your your cooling element so you're you're cooling 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:31.759 radiator whether it's a radiator on a CPU heat sink or a radiator with water 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 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:39.160 take nice fresh air and use that to cool it so you can get better CPU 00:04:36.919 --> 00:04:42.560 temperatures at the cost of slightly worse internal case temperatures so 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 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 00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:57.199 I'll do my graph uh nh- 00:04:53.280 --> 00:04:59.320 u2p okay and then that one was about 73 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 00:05:01.520 --> 00:05:08.520 you can see the vantage with its stock fan was a little bit higher than the 00:05:05.840 --> 00:05:12.199 vantage with dual fans the h70 is the big winner in terms of performance 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 00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:21.520 something like that um was somewhere in 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:26.560 between but you have the convenience of it just being an air cooler and just 00:05:23.039 --> 00:05:28.960 strapped to the CPU heat sink um 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:31.639 brackets CPU mounting holes that's what I was looking for
