00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,040
Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom glass visit

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:10,639
store. phantom.in screen protectors out there

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:15,200
as well as hyperx kicking things off in The Cooler Master Suite we've got well

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:19,439
cooling technology how very unexpected this is something that they're calling

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:23,320
3D Vapor Chambers now it's not the first time that we've seen Cooler Master throw

6
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:26,720
Vapor Chambers onto a CPU Cooler Vapor Chambers actually you can learn more

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:31,039
about them here we've done an entire episode of our fastest possible segment

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:35,320
on them but basically they are usually flat now 3D Vapor Chambers are not flat

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:40,000
in fact they are three-dimensional what they've done is they've tacked on what

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:44,719
appear to be normal heat pipes but instead of just having heat pipes

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,199
soldered to the top of a vapor chamber that then makes contact with the CPU for

12
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:51,800
optimal heat spreading here they have actually integrated the heat pipe

13
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:56,199
structure into the vapor chamber so unfortunately we don't have any live

14
00:00:54,079 --> 00:01:01,640
demos running yet but we do have a very early prototype of one that has both the

15
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:05,519
traditional heat pipes on top of a vapor chamber design as well as 3D Vapor

16
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:09,479
Chambers running up through the heat sink fins and we can be expecting to see

17
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:13,840
a little bit more about this technology around the computex time frame but the

18
00:01:11,759 --> 00:01:17,920
really revolutionary technology and that it spins see haha it's a joke it's a

19
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:23,360
joke about cooling is right here and this is from a partner of cooler Masters

20
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:26,720
called cool chip these guys are showing

21
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:29,680
off a completely different way of

22
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:33,399
cooling CPUs now at first glance this might not really look like anything

23
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:37,040
special okay it's got a flat surface on the bottom that's what you stick on top

24
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:40,159
of the CPU GPU or your forehead or whatever else it is that you need to

25
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:44,640
keep cool and then it's got some fins on the top that are you know well spaced

26
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:48,479
for dissipating heat uh and then normally you would throw a fan that's

27
00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:52,840
usually about the same thickness as the heat sink itself to go ahead and blow

28
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,759
air down on that bad boy and remove it from the metal but no this works

29
00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:01,479
completely differently what it actually does is it spins the top there we go

30
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:06,920
let's just take this thing apart it spins the top of two plates around and

31
00:02:05,479 --> 00:02:11,319
that is what generates the air flow that cools metal so we don't actually need a

32
00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:14,840
fan anymore at all and you're kind of probably looking at me going well hold

33
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:18,680
on a second Linus how the heck does that work I mean if these two plates aren't

34
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,560
connected to each other then how are you even going to transfer the heat to it

35
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:25,879
that sounds completely inefficient well actually hold on a second no because

36
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:30,879
with precise enough manufacturing they can actually make these interlocking

37
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,519
grooves between these plates be so close

38
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:37,560
to each other that even as they're spinning around heat transfer is

39
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:41,800
basically unimpeded now this isn't the first time that I've heard of this

40
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:45,959
technology although I I have to admit you know with my skepticism hat on I

41
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:50,319
wasn't convinced necessarily that it was ever going to make it to a costeff

42
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:54,159
effective sort of retail type product because the Sandia cooler YouTube video

43
00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:58,280
that has over half a million views has been out there for a couple years now

44
00:02:55,879 --> 00:03:02,440
but this is the first time I've seen it actually working and they do do have it

45
00:03:00,519 --> 00:03:06,760
actually working so that one doesn't work that one you can take apart just

46
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:10,959
for uh for demos but normally they would actually be fixed in place so that even

47
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:14,640
dropping the unit wouldn't cause it to not continue to function correctly so

48
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:20,120
here they've got a prototype this is attached to a piece of Plexi I was not aware of that before I started where

49
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:23,599
they've got uh where they've got their uh their kinetic cooler in the middle

50
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:28,280
and then they've got a more traditional heatsync fin array with heat pipes

51
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:31,959
around the outside so they can actually increase the performance of this design

52
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:34,799
by leveraging the air flow that they already have from the kinetic cooler to

53
00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:41,879
remove a little bit more heat this is the kind of thing you might see in an aftermarket more well compact Enthusiast

54
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:45,560
type grade product then over here they've got a live demo where they've

55
00:03:43,239 --> 00:03:49,159
got two he identical heat elements and they've got a cooler design they've been

56
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:53,599
working on for quite some time for oneu server or rack mount designs and then

57
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:58,599
they've got a more traditional heat sink and fan blower design that also has to

58
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:03,640
fit within that very very low profile sort of uh form Factor so check this out

59
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:07,879
this one is running dissipating all the heat it

60
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:11,280
needs to dissipate so I they won't quote me on this but based on that they're

61
00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:14,519
saying this is probably in the sort of 90 to 100 watt range I would have to

62
00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:19,040
guess that this is designed for kind of 65 watt CPUs then they've got another

63
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,680
one right here on the left that requires a fan in order to achieve the same

64
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:32,320
temperature and I think we've made our point now one new cool coolers aren't

65
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:37,039
always the quietest things in the world but as far as showcasing the potential

66
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:42,120
of the technology I think this does a pretty good job speaking of showcasing

67
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:47,000
potential technology one of our sponsors for the show today Phantom glass these

68
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:51,800
guys make darn good screen protectors they are

69
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:53,479
so clear and so natural feeling that

70
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:57,160
you'd almost swear that it's just the gorilla glass that's on your phone and

71
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,400
you'd be right because it's just a layer of Gorilla Glass that goes on top of

72
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:04,160
your phone they've got Nano coating on the bottom of the glass that makes it

73
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:07,520
virtually impossible to install with bubbles you can take it off put it back

74
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,720
on in case you screw it up or you need to Army your phone and you don't want to

75
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,880
you know throw away that money you spent on a screen protector and get a new one

76
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,400
once you get the new one back they're available at store. phantom.in in the

77
00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:21,199
video description I also want to do a shout out for hyperx those guys are were

78
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:25,680
a big part of the reason we were able to come to the show they've got a lot of great gaming content on their YouTube

79
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,520
channel it's youtube.com/ hyperx you'll find a link for that as well in the

80
00:05:26,919 --> 00:05:32,840
