1
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:15,480
so guys today I'm going to be doing a quick unboxing of the antec cooler H2O

2
00:00:12,639 --> 00:00:21,160
620 so this is the little brother to the cooler H2O 920 now the key difference

3
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:27,199
between this one and the 920 they're both fairly similar in terms of the

4
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:29,720
design is the thickness of the radiator

5
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:34,719
so while the 620 uses a thinner style radi rator that offers the advantage of

6
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:40,520
better compatibility with cases on the market the 920 is going to offer better

7
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:43,800
performance due to the larger surface area so you can see on the front of the

8
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:48,399
box here we have a picture of the product itself so here's the radiator

9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:53,359
and fan as well as the flexible tubing this is a huge feature that the cooler

10
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:56,800
Series has over other pre-done liquid cooling systems on the market because it

11
00:00:55,079 --> 00:01:01,079
gives you a lot more flexibility in terms of how you can route your tubing

12
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:04,040
there's the integrated CPU pump and water block and let's see what they have

13
00:01:02,519 --> 00:01:09,000
to say for themselves on the box so quick install zero maintenance that I'll

14
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:14,119
believe here we've got quick install zero maintenance okay same thing on the

15
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:18,280
back we've got low profile pump ensures exceptional liquid circulation while

16
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:23,079
preserving internal air flow this is true it does give you more clearance

17
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:26,200
around the CPU socket area for uh the

18
00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:28,079
mosfet coolers to receive air flow okay

19
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:32,119
we've got intelligent noise speed control fan for quiet and efficient

20
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:35,640
cooling so that's a pwm fan included we've also got non-corrugated easy Bend

21
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:40,000
tubing which I talked about before in latest generation copper cold plate and

22
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:45,280
by Cold plate they're saying the same thing as what I mean when I say water

23
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:47,719
block um so water block is more of a DIY term I

24
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:57,200
guess and uh let's just see if there's anything I'm missing here on the box uh

25
00:01:54,159 --> 00:02:00,159
yeah here we go so they're saying that

26
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:04,399
the cooler H 20620 has slightly performance than the first generation of

27
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:08,000
pre-done liquid cooling systems on the market and obviously it Just Smokes the

28
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:12,160
stock Intel cooler all right so let's see what we've

29
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:17,400
got inside the box here first thing we find is the mounting hardware and what

30
00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:19,519
anc's done creatively here see this is

31
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:25,080
they have colorcoded the mounting hardware so that if you're using AMD all

32
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:29,080
you do is put in the green the green tabs into your mounting system if you're

33
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:32,640
using Intel you put the blue tabs in and that way you can accidentally mix them

34
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,360
up because with some of the other products that were based on a similar

35
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:41,879
design the OEM is acch which is quite obvious it says acch right on the

36
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:44,040
radiator um they were all black and it

37
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:47,800
could have been quite confusing all right it comes with an installation

38
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,920
guide so you can see here it shows you all the stuff that's included with the

39
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:58,080
620 shows you how to mount the radiator and fan to your case as well as the CPU

40
00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:01,159
block SL pump unit to your

41
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:03,959
motherboard next we have the fan it's a

42
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:07,920
very beefy fan doesn't have much Flex to it well built overall it's got a seven

43
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,920
blade design okay there's a little markings on it to show you which way the

44
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:18,360
air moves oh it's not pwm this one is not

45
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:20,440
pwm this is a three pin fan connector

46
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:25,080
okay and then finally we have the cooler 620 itself

47
00:03:23,799 --> 00:03:28,920
I'm going to take off the little plastic baggie that covers the CPU block and

48
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,400
we're going to have a look at that first so

49
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,959
here we are you can see it has pre-applied thermal compound this is an

50
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:39,879
extremely high quality thermal compound there will be no need to replace that

51
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:44,120
unless for whatever reason you've installed it once and then you discover

52
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,879
that you need to take it off well then you'll have to clean off your CPU clean

53
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:51,599
off the bottom of the cooler 620 reapply

54
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:56,439
thermal compound and put it back on okay you can see right here we've

55
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,400
got rotary fittings so that allows you

56
00:03:56,439 --> 00:04:03,480
the flexibility to have the fittings or the tubing approach the block from any

57
00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:06,599
angle without risking kinking it just going to zoom in a little bit here so I

58
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:10,120
don't have to reach so far forward there we go so now you can see that a little

59
00:04:07,959 --> 00:04:14,480
bit better there you go okay we've got two cables coming out of the pump one of

60
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:18,079
them is for power to the pump right there so that's a three pin standard

61
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,959
three pin power and then the other one is for power to the fan so this is

62
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:27,880
actually an output this allows the cooler software to to intelligently

63
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:33,560
control the pump and the fan according to liquid temperatures

64
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:37,360
I believe at least the 920 does anyway

65
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,600
hold on a second oh bummer okay it looks like I

66
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:47,039
was wrong the 620 doesn't include the software so I would definitely recommend

67
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:49,199
ponying up a little bit more for the 920

68
00:04:47,039 --> 00:04:54,080
but the advantages that the 620 still has are the extremely flexible tubing so

69
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:57,840
I want you guys to check this out no matter what you do to this stuff pretty

70
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:02,600
much I want you to look at that whole knot that I've tied in the tubing no

71
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:06,440
kinking whatsoever that ensures that you're going to get good flow of the

72
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:12,639
liquid no matter how you have to Route this to get to your CPU okay so this is

73
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:16,759
just straight power for the pump and fan and then an extension to the fan so that

74
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,919
you have power to both of those things all

75
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:26,800
right little antech logo on the top okay

76
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:31,680
finally we have the radiator so as I said before the radiator actually has

77
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:35,680
the Tech branding right on it so it's not like uh it's not like it's any

78
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:40,080
secret who makes this thing there you go hopefully you can read that now it is a

79
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:45,000
thin profile radiator so not the thicker style that is used in the 920 so

80
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:48,199
performance is going to be about on par with a pretty good aftermarket air

81
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,520
cooler so why would you go with something like this and the answer is

82
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:56,000
fairly simple for me the reason I would choose one of these pre-done liquid I

83
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:59,680
mean for my own personal system I have a custom liquid cooling setup but if I was

84
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:02,720
going to build a more basic system system I would go with one of these over

85
00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:06,400
a high-end air cooler in certain scenarios if I'm going to be moving the

86
00:06:04,479 --> 00:06:10,840
system around and if I'm worried about having all of that weight from a cooler

87
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:14,160
hanging off of the CPU socket then I would definitely consider one of these

88
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:18,800
because you're taking the heaviest part this is the radiator full of liquid and

89
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:21,880
you are bolting it to your case instead of to your motherboard all you're

90
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:27,199
bolting to your motherboard is a little pump unit so there's not a ter terrific

91
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:31,120
amount of weight on the motherboard itself whereas with a lot of tower air

92
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:37,080
coolers you're putting a huge amount of weight on the motherboard and that is a

93
00:06:34,479 --> 00:06:40,759
bit of a stresser on it so that is pretty much it for the cooler 620 thank

94
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:44,240
you for checking out my unboxing don't forget to subscribe to is this thing

95
00:06:42,919 --> 00:06:50,199
really not going to work for me there we go line is tched from more unboxings
