WEBVTT

00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:07.640
so today we have a special guest operating the camera um henceforth

00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:10.759
referred to as the cameraman since I'd lack another nickname for someone

00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:15.080
operating a camera so today we're going to be unboxing the prolimatech

00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:20.840
Armageddon CPU Cooler this is for socket 1366 and 1156 motherboards it's uh

00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:26.599
without sacrificing space I'm not sure exactly what that means but it comes

00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:28.720
with 100% brwn I actually saw this

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

00:00:30.599 --> 00:00:36.399
exceptionally cool package they've got their Armageddon branding here with

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:41.760
their Flames coming off of it and then they've got their uh silvery kind of

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

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

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:55.079
this off somehow it actually has instructions here so you flip and lift

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

00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:01.480
we've got the heat SN Dimensions here which you can probably read as long as

00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:05.320
as the camera is focusing all right today it comes with aluminum fins lead

00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:09.360
free solder on all the contact points it's made of copper for the heat pipes

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

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

00:01:15.479 --> 00:01:25.560
fan so that's almost 2 lb hanging off your CPU socket and thanan compatibility

00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:28.520
is 140 mm x 140 mm by 25 mm so we

00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:33.799
flip and then lift ooh oh look at this you can actually see

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:38.880
through a window you can see the prolimatech uh logo just like that okay

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

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

00:01:47.320 --> 00:01:54.200
all of the stuff that comes with the Armageddon as well as uh little

00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:57.880
illustration okay and you got a little list here so you can go through and make

00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:03.119
sure that everything is there then we have the instructions on how to install

00:02:00.039 --> 00:02:08.080
the Armageddon so here it is steps 1 to

00:02:03.119 --> 00:02:09.800
four to six sorry 1 2 3 4 5 six and some

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:14.160
of these are sort of multiple steps in one but overall the process looks quite

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:19.640
simple and I wouldn't worry about not being able to do it or anything like

00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:22.080
that so in here we have an accessory

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

00:02:24.519 --> 00:02:33.239
thermal compound which looks an awful lot like MX2 so it's probably pretty

00:02:29.160 --> 00:02:36.680
good then we have

00:02:33.239 --> 00:02:39.159
the bracket so these actually go where

00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:44.080
do these go this is an interesting mounting system I'm um I'm not really

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

00:02:46.760 --> 00:02:53.000
got like these huge huge aluminum chunks I feel like they're made out of aluminum

00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:57.800
although I could be wrong and then so those go on your CPU socket just like

00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:00.920
that and then you actually have a bolt through and that Hardware is probably

00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:06.239
prob in here that goes all the way through your

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:12.080
motherboard and then secures somehow so yeah here's some huge uh thumb screws

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

00:03:14.519 --> 00:03:22.280
plate is compatible it looks like with 1156 1366 as well as 775 although they

00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:26.480
don't advertise 775 compatibility on the box so it's possible it doesn't include

00:03:24.200 --> 00:03:30.720
the hold down here we go here's the Armageddon so the first thing you notice

00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:37.040
about it is that this is a natively supporting 140 mm cooler so most of the

00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:40.560
tower heat sinks I've seen in the past are actually quite a bit narrower and

00:03:38.720 --> 00:03:45.480
the reason for that is that they only support 140 mm as an afterthought

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

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

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:58.120
and line them up within each fin within

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

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

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

00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:15.840
the base so the ones that go through the middle of the base are actually going

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

00:04:17.479 --> 00:04:22.639
that and that's because the outside of the heat sink is where you're actually

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

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:30.600
why all the ones that are at the very outside are actually kind of in the

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

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

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

00:04:41.520 --> 00:04:47.360
very very very shiny I'll do the obligatory uh finger shot here where you

00:04:45.479 --> 00:04:50.600
can see how reflective it is it's also very flat so when you have this

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

00:04:53.520 --> 00:04:59.320
look at yourself through it we've got the aluminum fins are quite dense

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

00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:09.440
pressure because some heat sinks will actually have more spacing in between

00:05:06.520 --> 00:05:14.039
the fins now that comes at a cost to Performance because it won't perform

00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:18.440
quite as well but the advantage of having the tight packed fins is that if

00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:22.680
you do have a high pressure fan you can get more performance out of it whereas

00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:27.240
the low density fins if you have a low performance fan then you can actually

00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:32.520
get better performance out of it than a densely tacked fin arranger so I hope

00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:39.039
that wasn't too confusing the camera says no I guess

00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:43.280
um and I think that pretty much wraps up my unboxing of the prolimatech

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:50.039
Armageddon thank you for checking it out and don't forget to subscribe and that's

00:05:47.080 --> 00:05:55.280
pretty much it thanks for watching my blog yeah I forgot to show the shininess

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

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

00:06:01.080 --> 00:06:06.960
get good contact pressure out of it and that is by design that it's not

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

00:06:09.039 --> 00:06:13.960
kind of guessing it has a bow base based on looking at the reflection of a

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

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

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

00:06:24.520 --> 00:06:32.319
I sort of have ruined everything now haven't I thank you for watching my blog

00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.319
and now we're actually done
