00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:06.040
Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom glass visit

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:10.639
store. phantom.in screen protectors out there

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:15.200
as well as hyperx kicking things off in The Cooler Master Suite we've got well

00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:19.439
cooling technology how very unexpected this is something that they're calling

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

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:26.720
Vapor Chambers onto a CPU Cooler Vapor Chambers actually you can learn more

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:31.039
about them here we've done an entire episode of our fastest possible segment

00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:35.320
on them but basically they are usually flat now 3D Vapor Chambers are not flat

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:40.000
in fact they are three-dimensional what they've done is they've tacked on what

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:44.719
appear to be normal heat pipes but instead of just having heat pipes

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:48.199
soldered to the top of a vapor chamber that then makes contact with the CPU for

00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:51.800
optimal heat spreading here they have actually integrated the heat pipe

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:56.199
structure into the vapor chamber so unfortunately we don't have any live

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

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:05.519
traditional heat pipes on top of a vapor chamber design as well as 3D Vapor

00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:09.479
Chambers running up through the heat sink fins and we can be expecting to see

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:13.840
a little bit more about this technology around the computex time frame but the

00:01:11.759 --> 00:01:17.920
really revolutionary technology and that it spins see haha it's a joke it's a

00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:23.360
joke about cooling is right here and this is from a partner of cooler Masters

00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:26.720
called cool chip these guys are showing

00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:29.680
off a completely different way of

00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:33.399
cooling CPUs now at first glance this might not really look like anything

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

00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:40.159
of the CPU GPU or your forehead or whatever else it is that you need to

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

00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:48.479
for dissipating heat uh and then normally you would throw a fan that's

00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:52.840
usually about the same thickness as the heat sink itself to go ahead and blow

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:56.759
air down on that bad boy and remove it from the metal but no this works

00:01:54.840 --> 00:02:01.479
completely differently what it actually does is it spins the top there we go

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:06.920
let's just take this thing apart it spins the top of two plates around and

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

00:02:09.119 --> 00:02:14.840
fan anymore at all and you're kind of probably looking at me going well hold

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

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:21.560
connected to each other then how are you even going to transfer the heat to it

00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:25.879
that sounds completely inefficient well actually hold on a second no because

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:30.879
with precise enough manufacturing they can actually make these interlocking

00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:32.519
grooves between these plates be so close

00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:37.560
to each other that even as they're spinning around heat transfer is

00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:41.800
basically unimpeded now this isn't the first time that I've heard of this

00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:45.959
technology although I I have to admit you know with my skepticism hat on I

00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:50.319
wasn't convinced necessarily that it was ever going to make it to a costeff

00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:54.159
effective sort of retail type product because the Sandia cooler YouTube video

00:02:52.239 --> 00:02:58.280
that has over half a million views has been out there for a couple years now

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

00:03:00.519 --> 00:03:06.760
actually working so that one doesn't work that one you can take apart just

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:10.959
for uh for demos but normally they would actually be fixed in place so that even

00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:14.640
dropping the unit wouldn't cause it to not continue to function correctly so

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

00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:23.599
they've got uh where they've got their uh their kinetic cooler in the middle

00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:28.280
and then they've got a more traditional heatsync fin array with heat pipes

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:31.959
around the outside so they can actually increase the performance of this design

00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.799
by leveraging the air flow that they already have from the kinetic cooler to

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

00:03:39.480 --> 00:03:45.560
type grade product then over here they've got a live demo where they've

00:03:43.239 --> 00:03:49.159
got two he identical heat elements and they've got a cooler design they've been

00:03:46.920 --> 00:03:53.599
working on for quite some time for oneu server or rack mount designs and then

00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:58.599
they've got a more traditional heat sink and fan blower design that also has to

00:03:55.760 --> 00:04:03.640
fit within that very very low profile sort of uh form Factor so check this out

00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:07.879
this one is running dissipating all the heat it

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

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

00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:19.040
guess that this is designed for kind of 65 watt CPUs then they've got another

00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:22.680
one right here on the left that requires a fan in order to achieve the same

00:04:26.320 --> 00:04:32.320
temperature and I think we've made our point now one new cool coolers aren't

00:04:30.280 --> 00:04:37.039
always the quietest things in the world but as far as showcasing the potential

00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:42.120
of the technology I think this does a pretty good job speaking of showcasing

00:04:39.960 --> 00:04:47.000
potential technology one of our sponsors for the show today Phantom glass these

00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:51.800
guys make darn good screen protectors they are

00:04:48.080 --> 00:04:53.479
so clear and so natural feeling that

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

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

00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:04.160
your phone they've got Nano coating on the bottom of the glass that makes it

00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:07.520
virtually impossible to install with bubbles you can take it off put it back

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

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

00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:17.400
once you get the new one back they're available at store. phantom.in in the

00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:21.199
video description I also want to do a shout out for hyperx those guys are were

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

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

00:05:26.919 --> 00:05:32.840
video description thank you for watching don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss any of our CES content we'll see

00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:37.039
you in the next Booth or Suite or wherever our travels take us
