through","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":140.12,"end_s":145.599,"text":"and it uses a back plate I love mounting systems that have a back plate it's just","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":143.959,"end_s":152.8,"text":"so much more secure than trying to use push pins um next we have LGA 775","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":150.44,"end_s":158.879,"text":"then we have our four mounting screws and then we have what else do we got in","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":155.28,"end_s":161.599,"text":"here um all right we have ooh this one's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":158.879,"end_s":169.08,"text":"in color too so this is the installation guide for 754 939 940 and am2 so this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":166.319,"end_s":174.319,"text":"will also apply to am3 so that's in color and everything check that out very","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":171.84,"end_s":180.44,"text":"nice very nice indeed okay what's next I can figure out","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":177.84,"end_s":184.799,"text":"how to pull that back up here is a piece of double-sided tape I don't know what","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":182.8,"end_s":189.64,"text":"it's for yet maybe we'll figure it out maybe we","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":185.84,"end_s":192.84,"text":"won't okay let's keep digging further in","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":189.64,"end_s":197.12,"text":"see what else we can find here oh oh wow","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":192.84,"end_s":200.64,"text":"okay so H here is the back plate","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":197.12,"end_s":203.4,"text":"for gee well which mounting system is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":200.64,"end_s":211.68,"text":"this for cuz it doesn't look like it's compatible with both 775 and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":206.64,"end_s":214.519,"text":"1366 so oh okay I was mistaken the

we","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":223.439,"end_s":229.439,"text":"figured out what the uh what the double-sided tape is for it's for this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":227.28,"end_s":232.4,"text":"fan speed controller so the cable for the fan speed controller is also in

ever","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":235.439,"end_s":241.079,"text":"seen a product but I mean it's not like any of this is fragile and going to be","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":238.599,"end_s":245.519,"text":"damaged so you just plug this in on the one side here you just kind of line it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":243.079,"end_s":248.92,"text":"up so that it goes in like that and then at the one end this goes into your","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":247.079,"end_s":252.2,"text":"motherboard header or into a Molex to three pin adapter and then this

a little uh baggie","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":261.359,"end_s":266.4,"text":"of thermal compound as well as four push pins I'm going to go ahead and assume","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":264.919,"end_s":274.759,"text":"that those are for AMX am2 am2 plus am3 next they

much","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":307.52,"end_s":314.4,"text":"trouble with that like all of the latest generation silent x i extreme a fans

buy","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":320.4,"end_s":326.08,"text":"that okay next we have the actual heat","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":323.56,"end_s":329.16,"text":"pipe cooler

that's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":362.08,"end_s":368.88,"text":"what they mean by heat pipe direct touch okay and then so these are three

pretty","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":403.16,"end_s":408.52,"text":"much covers if I can find my remote","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":406.72,"end_s":414.759,"text":"everything I wanted to say about this particular cooler and so thank you for","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":410.88,"end_s":414.759,"text":"checking out my unboxing","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0}],"full_text":"so today I'm going to be doing a quick unboxing of the silen X extreme a pro series heat pipe CPU Cooler so this is the I c92 H2 so I'm going to hold that a little bit closer to the camera or better yet I could use this particular little trick of mine where I have a little remote that will zoom in on it aha no cameraman today but I don't need one so it is less than 18 DB according to silent X it supports all Intel sockets including 775 and AMD socket o wow 754 and am2 so that means you've got support for 775 am2 am3 and you can see that there's another little sticker on here that says Intel Core i7 compatible if it would focus there it goes so Intel Core i7 compatible that means that it is compatible with LGA 1366 as well this is a 92mm version designed for smaller cases so why don't we uh have a look at yeah let's have a look at the side of the box as well so I'm going to do this zooming thing again sorry everyone all right so first of all this is a heat pipe direct touch heat sink and uh at the time this was uh a big deal but it uses 8 mm versus 6 mm on they saying most competing products heat pipes that means that it can transfer more heat faster next of all it uses the latest generation of silen x i extreme a pro fans and lastly 38 tightly spaced aluminum fins offer nearly a class leading 5,000 cm squ of surface area let's go around to the back where it just has a little bit more about the basic specs as well as some come on Focus you can do it no you can't do it okay as well as the compatibility info which is horrendously outdated okay so why don't we open this thing up and find out just what is inside so I'm going to go ahead and point that kind of there and then oh man this is brutal not having someone operating the camera what are you going to do okay let's get the Box open so the first thing we find inside you can see they have packed in uh an LGA 1366 bracket all right there it is and then the next thing you'll find is they have got a little uh instruction sheet here so that covers the Intel installation procedure all right so they show you you put the top bracket down you put four screws through and it uses a back plate I love mounting systems that have a back plate it's just so much more secure than trying to use push pins um next we have LGA 775 then we have our four mounting screws and then we have what else do we got in here um all right we have ooh this one's in color too so this is the installation guide for 754 939 940 and am2 so this will also apply to am3 so that's in color and everything check that out very nice very nice indeed okay what's next I can figure out how to pull that back up here is a piece of double-sided tape I don't know what it's for yet maybe we'll figure it out maybe we won't okay let's keep digging further in see what else we can find here oh oh wow okay so H here is the back plate for gee well which mounting system is this for cuz it doesn't look like it's compatible with both 775 and 1366 so oh okay I was mistaken the 775 version uses the plastic push pins whereas the 1366 version uses a bolt through so this back plate is for the 1366 version okay I get it now oh and we figured out what the uh what the double-sided tape is for it's for this fan speed controller so the cable for the fan speed controller is also in here everything's just kind of loose in the Box it's not the best package I've ever seen a product but I mean it's not like any of this is fragile and going to be damaged so you just plug this in on the one side here you just kind of line it up so that it goes in like that and then at the one end this goes into your motherboard header or into a Molex to three pin adapter and then this plugs into your fan and then you can use this little dial here to adjust the fan speed very cool okay next we have um H okay we've got a little uh baggie of thermal compound as well as four push pins I'm going to go ahead and assume that those are for AMX am2 am2 plus am3 next they include not only two uh fan wire Clips but four so that means that besides the 92 mm fan included you can also mount an additional 92mm fan to the unit without buying any accessories besides what's included in the Box okay so before we get to the actual heat pipe cooler itself why don't we have a look at the fan there it is a 92 mm fan the blades spin like this it's all shiny and even the fan itself is is pretty silver and shiny it has uh one of those transparent plastic uh three pin connectors it's quite long you shouldn't have too much trouble with that like all of the latest generation silent x i extreme a fans it uses a small Hub in the center and their claim is that that gives you more usable airflow Space versus fans with a larger Hub I kind of buy that okay next we have the actual heat pipe cooler itself so why don't we start cuz I usually do this at the end why don't we start with the obligatory finger do so you can see that it is not all that shiny but if there to be believed it is quite flat I can actually feel the Machining marks though quite and clearly with my fingernail uh whether or not that's going to be a problem when you're actually cooling a processor with it yeah it remains to be seen but you can see actually I'm going to like get up to show the camera this maybe I'll Shine the Light directly at it see if we can get it to focus a little better oh that is not helping there we go okay so you can see that they've actually lapped the heat pipe surface itself so that's what they mean by heat pipe direct touch okay and then so these are three nice thick heat pipes these are still thick even by today's standards despite the fact that this is a relatively old product and then you can see that the uh fins are quite close together not really they're not jammed in that close so they should perform quite well with a low air flow fan low noise fan which you would make sense because silent X Prides themselves and their low noise low airflow fans I mean I don't mean low air flow I mean they're low air flow compared to a high noise fan the top is very shiny so you can probably actually see my camera there you go yeah you can totally see my camera in the top of it so I really like that and it has like a silent X logo on it I think that pretty much covers if I can find my remote everything I wanted to say about this particular cooler and so thank you for checking out my unboxing"}
