1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:07,640
so today we have a special guest operating the camera um henceforth

2
00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:10,759
referred to as the cameraman since I'd lack another nickname for someone

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:15,080
operating a camera so today we're going to be unboxing the prolimatech

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:20,840
Armageddon CPU Cooler this is for socket 1366 and 1156 motherboards it's uh

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:26,599
without sacrificing space I'm not sure exactly what that means but it comes

6
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:28,720
with 100% brwn I actually saw this

7
00:00:26,599 --> 00:00:32,480
package on our Shelf and I was like yeah I got to unbox that because it is an

8
00:00:30,599 --> 00:00:36,399
exceptionally cool package they've got their Armageddon branding here with

9
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:41,760
their Flames coming off of it and then they've got their uh silvery kind of

10
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:46,360
shiny logo on here it looks really cool it kind of looks like a smiling guy like

11
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:50,120
there's his unibrow and there's his eyes and nose and mouth and then you pull

12
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:55,079
this off somehow it actually has instructions here so you flip and lift

13
00:00:53,239 --> 00:00:58,519
so why don't we do that actually let's have a quick look at the specs first so

14
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,480
we've got the heat SN Dimensions here which you can probably read as long as

15
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:05,320
as the camera is focusing all right today it comes with aluminum fins lead

16
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:09,360
free solder on all the contact points it's made of copper for the heat pipes

17
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:12,600
and base and it is nickel plated on the heat pipes and base and then the fins

18
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:18,320
are aluminum so they don't need to be nickel plated it weighs 750 G without a

19
00:01:15,479 --> 00:01:25,560
fan so that's almost 2 lb hanging off your CPU socket and thanan compatibility

20
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:28,520
is 140 mm x 140 mm by 25 mm so we

21
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:33,799
flip and then lift ooh oh look at this you can actually see

22
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:38,880
through a window you can see the prolimatech uh logo just like that okay

23
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:44,200
but we don't need that anymore okay so we just slide everything out all in sort

24
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:49,159
of one go here and then the first thing we find is a user's manual so this shows

25
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:54,200
all of the stuff that comes with the Armageddon as well as uh little

26
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:57,880
illustration okay and you got a little list here so you can go through and make

27
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:03,119
sure that everything is there then we have the instructions on how to install

28
00:02:00,039 --> 00:02:08,080
the Armageddon so here it is steps 1 to

29
00:02:03,119 --> 00:02:09,800
four to six sorry 1 2 3 4 5 six and some

30
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:14,160
of these are sort of multiple steps in one but overall the process looks quite

31
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:19,640
simple and I wouldn't worry about not being able to do it or anything like

32
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:22,080
that so in here we have an accessory

33
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:26,800
pack which contains all of the stuff on that list so we've got a prolimatech uh

34
00:02:24,519 --> 00:02:33,239
thermal compound which looks an awful lot like MX2 so it's probably pretty

35
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:36,680
good then we have

36
00:02:33,239 --> 00:02:39,159
the bracket so these actually go where

37
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:44,080
do these go this is an interesting mounting system I'm um I'm not really

38
00:02:41,239 --> 00:02:49,599
sure I understand why it's so beefy but it's kind of cool I guess because you've

39
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:53,000
got like these huge huge aluminum chunks I feel like they're made out of aluminum

40
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:57,800
although I could be wrong and then so those go on your CPU socket just like

41
00:02:55,319 --> 00:03:00,920
that and then you actually have a bolt through and that Hardware is probably

42
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:06,239
prob in here that goes all the way through your

43
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:12,080
motherboard and then secures somehow so yeah here's some huge uh thumb screws

44
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:16,200
and a bunch of other stuff press here okay cool here's a back plate this back

45
00:03:14,519 --> 00:03:22,280
plate is compatible it looks like with 1156 1366 as well as 775 although they

46
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:26,480
don't advertise 775 compatibility on the box so it's possible it doesn't include

47
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:30,720
the hold down here we go here's the Armageddon so the first thing you notice

48
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:37,040
about it is that this is a natively supporting 140 mm cooler so most of the

49
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:40,560
tower heat sinks I've seen in the past are actually quite a bit narrower and

50
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:45,480
the reason for that is that they only support 140 mm as an afterthought

51
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:49,760
they're a 120 mm heat sink that kind of has Clips on it for 140 mil so this

52
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:55,799
wideness is what's going to give you the ability to take all of these heat pipes

53
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:58,120
and line them up within each fin within

54
00:03:55,799 --> 00:04:03,599
each side of the fins so here we've got actually a total of 1 2 3 4 5 six

55
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:08,879
standard size heat pipes so these look like 6 mm heat pipes uh they don't look

56
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:12,040
like the larger 8mm ones but we've got six of them that are all coming out of

57
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:15,840
the base so the ones that go through the middle of the base are actually going

58
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:19,759
out to the very outside of the heat sink and there's a very specific reason for

59
00:04:17,479 --> 00:04:22,639
that and that's because the outside of the heat sink is where you're actually

60
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,639
going to get the most air flow because of the shape of a Fan's blades so that's

61
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,600
why all the ones that are at the very outside are actually kind of in the

62
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:34,479
Middle where they're not going to be nearly as useful let me see if there's

63
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:39,160
something else we can say about it so we got kind of a shiny top on the top and

64
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:43,080
you can sort of probably see my face if I can look at the camera in that so it's

65
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:47,360
very very very shiny I'll do the obligatory uh finger shot here where you

66
00:04:45,479 --> 00:04:50,600
can see how reflective it is it's also very flat so when you have this

67
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:55,840
installed in your case it's going to look um so you'll B basically be able to

68
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:59,320
look at yourself through it we've got the aluminum fins are quite dense

69
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,479
actually so you're going to want to pick a f that's got reasonably good static

70
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:09,440
pressure because some heat sinks will actually have more spacing in between

71
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:14,039
the fins now that comes at a cost to Performance because it won't perform

72
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:18,440
quite as well but the advantage of having the tight packed fins is that if

73
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:22,680
you do have a high pressure fan you can get more performance out of it whereas

74
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:27,240
the low density fins if you have a low performance fan then you can actually

75
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:32,520
get better performance out of it than a densely tacked fin arranger so I hope

76
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:39,039
that wasn't too confusing the camera says no I guess

77
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:43,280
um and I think that pretty much wraps up my unboxing of the prolimatech

78
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:50,039
Armageddon thank you for checking it out and don't forget to subscribe and that's

79
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:55,280
pretty much it thanks for watching my blog yeah I forgot to show the shininess

80
00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:59,240
of the base so there it is get the angle there you can see the reflection of the

81
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:03,400
finger it's not that reflective but it is a slightly bod Bas so you're going to

82
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:06,960
get good contact pressure out of it and that is by design that it's not

83
00:06:04,919 --> 00:06:10,759
completely flat so you never want a lap a heat sink with a bow base I'm just

84
00:06:09,039 --> 00:06:13,960
kind of guessing it has a bow base based on looking at the reflection of a

85
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:18,160
straight line through it and seeing that it has a bit of a a curve to it you

86
00:06:16,599 --> 00:06:22,720
won't be able to see that in the camera but um I'm pretty sure they would all

87
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:26,919
come with one if this one does I hope it wasn't intended to be flat because then

88
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:32,319
I sort of have ruined everything now haven't I thank you for watching my blog

89
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,319
and now we're actually done
