1
00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:07,720
so today I'm going to be doing a quick unboxing of the silen X extreme a pro

2
00:00:04,839 --> 00:00:13,440
series heat pipe CPU Cooler so this is the I c92 H2 so I'm going to hold that a

3
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:17,359
little bit closer to the camera or better yet I could use this particular

4
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:21,840
little trick of mine where I have a little remote that will zoom in on it

5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:26,960
aha no cameraman today but I don't need one so it is less than 18 DB according

6
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:34,480
to silent X it supports all Intel sockets including 775 and AMD socket o

7
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:38,280
wow 754 and am2 so that means you've got

8
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:39,559
support for 775 am2 am3 and you can see

9
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:45,160
that there's another little sticker on here that says Intel Core i7 compatible

10
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:50,199
if it would focus there it goes so Intel Core i7 compatible that means that it is

11
00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:52,399
compatible with LGA 1366 as well this is

12
00:00:50,199 --> 00:00:57,239
a 92mm version designed for smaller cases so why don't we uh have a look at

13
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:03,160
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

14
00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:09,320
all right so first of all this is a heat pipe direct touch heat sink and uh at

15
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:13,040
the time this was uh a big deal but it

16
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:15,240
uses 8 mm versus 6 mm on they saying

17
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:19,080
most competing products heat pipes that means that it can transfer more heat

18
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:24,600
faster next of all it uses the latest generation of silen x i extreme a pro

19
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,640
fans and lastly 38 tightly spaced

20
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:31,920
aluminum fins offer nearly a class leading 5,000 cm squ of surface area

21
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:38,439
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

22
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:43,000
Focus you can do it no you can't do it okay as well as the compatibility info

23
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:48,240
which is horrendously outdated okay so why don't we open this thing up and find

24
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,640
out just what is inside so I'm going to

25
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:54,560
go ahead and point that kind of there and then oh man this is brutal not

26
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:58,680
having someone operating the camera what are you going to do okay let's get the

27
00:01:56,039 --> 00:02:05,680
Box open so the first thing we find inside you can see they have packed

28
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:07,640
in uh an LGA 1366 bracket all right

29
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:12,920
there it is and then the next thing you'll find is they have got a little uh

30
00:02:10,119 --> 00:02:18,280
instruction sheet here so that covers the Intel installation procedure all

31
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,959
right so they show you you put the top bracket down you put four screws through

32
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:25,599
and it uses a back plate I love mounting systems that have a back plate it's just

33
00:02:23,959 --> 00:02:32,800
so much more secure than trying to use push pins um next we have LGA 775

34
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:38,879
then we have our four mounting screws and then we have what else do we got in

35
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:41,599
here um all right we have ooh this one's

36
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:49,080
in color too so this is the installation guide for 754 939 940 and am2 so this

37
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:54,319
will also apply to am3 so that's in color and everything check that out very

38
00:02:51,840 --> 00:03:00,440
nice very nice indeed okay what's next I can figure out

39
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:04,799
how to pull that back up here is a piece of double-sided tape I don't know what

40
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:09,640
it's for yet maybe we'll figure it out maybe we

41
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:12,840
won't okay let's keep digging further in

42
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:17,120
see what else we can find here oh oh wow

43
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:20,640
okay so H here is the back plate

44
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:23,400
for gee well which mounting system is

45
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:31,680
this for cuz it doesn't look like it's compatible with both 775 and

46
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:34,519
1366 so oh okay I was mistaken the 775

47
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:40,040
version uses the plastic push pins whereas the 1366 version uses a bolt

48
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:45,799
through so this back plate is for the 1366 version okay I get it now oh and we

49
00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:49,439
figured out what the uh what the double-sided tape is for it's for this

50
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,400
fan speed controller so the cable for the fan speed controller is also in here

51
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:57,120
everything's just kind of loose in the Box it's not the best package I've ever

52
00:03:55,439 --> 00:04:01,079
seen a product but I mean it's not like any of this is fragile and going to be

53
00:03:58,599 --> 00:04:05,519
damaged so you just plug this in on the one side here you just kind of line it

54
00:04:03,079 --> 00:04:08,920
up so that it goes in like that and then at the one end this goes into your

55
00:04:07,079 --> 00:04:12,200
motherboard header or into a Molex to three pin adapter and then this plugs

56
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:17,680
into your fan and then you can use this little dial here to adjust the fan speed

57
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:21,359
very cool okay next we have

58
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:23,759
um H okay we've got a little uh baggie

59
00:04:21,359 --> 00:04:26,400
of thermal compound as well as four push pins I'm going to go ahead and assume

60
00:04:24,919 --> 00:04:34,759
that those are for AMX am2 am2 plus am3 next they include

61
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:37,120
not only two uh fan wire Clips but four

62
00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:41,400
so that means that besides the 92 mm fan included you can also mount an

63
00:04:38,919 --> 00:04:45,240
additional 92mm fan to the unit without buying any accessories besides what's

64
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:50,680
included in the Box okay so before we get to the actual

65
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:55,800
heat pipe cooler itself why don't we have a look at the

66
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:58,880
fan there it is a 92 mm fan the blades

67
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,880
spin like this it's all shiny and even

68
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:06,440
the fan itself is is pretty silver and shiny it has uh one of those transparent

69
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,840
plastic uh three pin connectors it's quite long you shouldn't have too much

70
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:14,400
trouble with that like all of the latest generation silent x i extreme a fans it

71
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:18,840
uses a small Hub in the center and their claim is that that gives you more usable

72
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:23,560
airflow Space versus fans with a larger Hub I kind of buy

73
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:26,080
that okay next we have the actual heat

74
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:29,160
pipe cooler itself so why don't we start cuz I usually do this at the end why

75
00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:34,520
don't we start with the obligatory finger do so you can see that it is not

76
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,759
all that shiny but if there to be believed it is quite flat I can actually

77
00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:40,680
feel the Machining marks though quite and clearly with my fingernail uh

78
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:45,720
whether or not that's going to be a problem when you're actually cooling a processor with it yeah it remains to be

79
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:49,080
seen but you can see actually I'm going to like get up to show the camera this

80
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:54,319
maybe I'll Shine the Light directly at it see if we can get it to focus a

81
00:05:51,039 --> 00:05:57,479
little better oh that is not

82
00:05:54,319 --> 00:06:00,160
helping there we go okay so you can see

83
00:05:57,479 --> 00:06:04,479
that they've actually lapped the heat pipe surface itself so that's

84
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:08,880
what they mean by heat pipe direct touch okay and then so these are three nice

85
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:13,160
thick heat pipes these are still thick even by today's standards despite the

86
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:18,400
fact that this is a relatively old product and then you can see that the uh

87
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:21,240
fins are quite close together not really they're not jammed in that close so they

88
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:25,560
should perform quite well with a low air flow fan low noise fan which you would

89
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:30,080
make sense because silent X Prides themselves and their low noise low

90
00:06:27,639 --> 00:06:33,759
airflow fans I mean I don't mean low air flow I mean they're low air flow

91
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:37,960
compared to a high noise fan the top is very shiny so you can probably actually

92
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,840
see my camera there you go yeah you can totally see my camera in the top of it

93
00:06:39,479 --> 00:06:46,720
so I really like that and it has like a silent X logo on it I think that pretty

94
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,520
much covers if I can find my remote

95
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:54,759
everything I wanted to say about this particular cooler and so thank you for

96
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,759
checking out my unboxing
