1
00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:07,359
so along with the spitfire six uh GPU cooler which you can see to my right

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:12,000
your left thermal right also sent me a fan to go with it the x silent 140. now

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,839
the spitfire 6 is compatible out of the box with either a 120 or a 140

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:20,880
millimeter fan but i thought i'd just take a moment and unbox this particular

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:24,640
fan for your unboxing pleasure so it is high efficient and low noise by 11 wings

6
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:31,359
design so what they mean is that it has 11 wings okay our wings up blades not

7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:36,719
wings uh liquid state bearing in 50 000 hour long 50 000 long life hours 7 volts

8
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:42,160
of power usage can be adjusted via fan control device okay is a 140 by 140 by

9
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:45,520
25 millimeter so this is a standard thickness fan it has a liquid stapler i

10
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:49,120
don't know what a liquid state bearing is to be perfectly honest with you

11
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,760
startup voltage is 7 volts that's pretty good

12
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:56,160
typically very very very good fans will start up

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,160
around 5 volts but 7 volts is still very respectable for a 140 millimeter fan

14
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:04,799
especially because i'm thinking in terms of 120 mils rated current uh rated speed

15
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,400
is 900 RPM you can read all this why am i even

16
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:12,240
reading this out there you done reading good okay so let's unbox this fan and

17
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:18,159
then i'm actually going to show the procedure to install it onto the

18
00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:20,159
spitfire 6 graphics card cooler so 140

19
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:24,400
millimeter fans actually let me grab a 120 millimeter fan that i tossed out of

20
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:28,640
the way when i was clearing my desk so i'll just grab that so this is a 140

21
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:33,840
millimeter fan versus a 120 millimeter fan you can see it is quite a lot bigger

22
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:38,400
so that means that just like moving from 80 to 120 millimeter you can just spin

23
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:44,159
the blade slower and still get the same amount of cooling so this is kind of a

24
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,759
smoked gray acrylic sort of look to it

25
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:50,079
it's kind of nice and you've got a thermal right logo up in the middle here

26
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,600
the frame itself is more of a more of an opaque black

27
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,560
and this is interesting there are

28
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:01,040
oh i get it there are holes um around this fan

29
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:04,479
because this is not the led version but it looks like you could you could

30
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,479
actually probably jury rig leds into this fan if you really wanted to

31
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:12,000
um let's look around at the back so on the back you can see we've got the basic

32
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,520
specs for the fan all right i've had enough talking about the fan let's talk

33
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,840
about the sleeving on the cable so the sleeving on the cable is actually this

34
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:23,920
is pretty darn good quality sleeving hey you know what so few companies have

35
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,680
this figured out where they use a good quality sleeving a good quality heat

36
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:31,120
shrink and then the cable you can't see the color of it so you can see they've

37
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:36,080
sleeved right up to the end and you cannot see the color of the cables

38
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,560
inside at all so i'm gonna set this up

39
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:43,920
so that the fan is actually pushing air down onto my heatsink okay so i pull

40
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,560
back the wire clips just like this i've already inserted them into the holes and

41
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:53,360
i'll get the cameraman to have a look at um at the one on his side so give me two

42
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,959
seconds here cameraman and i will get around to that side to show you so you

43
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:02,319
can see there are holes on the side of the spitfire six there are two at the

44
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:06,480
either end extremes so those are the 140 millimeter holes and then there are two

45
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:10,879
more one here and one here right above these two heat pipes so that is for 120

46
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:16,000
millimeter there's one more here and i have no idea what that's for so why

47
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:19,599
don't we go ahead and put the fan down and you know what to be perfectly honest

48
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:23,760
i'm pretty sure that thermal write includes um

49
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:27,920
little rubber strips to dampen the noise but they would be in the

50
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:31,360
um in the box right now and i don't have

51
00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:35,040
that handy so you can see it mounts quite you know what i wonder if that's

52
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,000
what the foams are for well i'm not going to stress about it let's turn on

53
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,599
the system and you can see how loud this fan is i don't have it plugged in yet

54
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:46,400
but i'm going to plug it into one of the fan headers on the classified motherboard that i'm running here now

55
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:50,080
something to note is that the compatibility for the spitfire six i was

56
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:55,720
a little bit confused about it when i did my original video and uh so the

57
00:03:52,879 --> 00:04:01,920
compatibility is with the 5850 and the 5870 and this vrm module is also

58
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:05,680
compatible with the 5850 and 5870 but what thermal write doesn't tell you

59
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:11,080
because it's possible that they don't know is that this heatsink is also

60
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:16,959
compatible with the ifinity 6 edition 5870 so that's the gig version of this

61
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:20,639
card so if you look around at the back of the video card itself you gotta kind

62
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:25,520
of get down at this angle here cameraman sorry about that thermal raid has

63
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:30,880
actually included so many extra memory heatsinks that i was able to nope sorry

64
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:34,639
about that that i was able to install it on the for on the two gig version of the

65
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:38,639
card without having to buy any additional memory heatsinks so good on

66
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,600
them for uh for going ahead and doing that anyway i wish i could show you some

67
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,120
temperature settings but i don't have the drivers installed but thank you for

68
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:53,400
checking out my unboxing of the x silent 140 as well as the installation onto the

69
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,400
spitfire 6.
