WEBVTT 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 00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:21.160 620 so this is the little brother to the cooler H2O 920 now the key difference 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:27.199 between this one and the 920 they're both fairly similar in terms of the 00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:29.720 design is the thickness of the radiator 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:34.719 so while the 620 uses a thinner style radi rator that offers the advantage of 00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:40.520 better compatibility with cases on the market the 920 is going to offer better 00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:43.800 performance due to the larger surface area so you can see on the front of the 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:48.399 box here we have a picture of the product itself so here's the radiator 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:53.359 and fan as well as the flexible tubing this is a huge feature that the cooler 00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:56.800 Series has over other pre-done liquid cooling systems on the market because it 00:00:55.079 --> 00:01:01.079 gives you a lot more flexibility in terms of how you can route your tubing 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:04.040 there's the integrated CPU pump and water block and let's see what they have 00:01:02.519 --> 00:01:09.000 to say for themselves on the box so quick install zero maintenance that I'll 00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:14.119 believe here we've got quick install zero maintenance okay same thing on the 00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:18.280 back we've got low profile pump ensures exceptional liquid circulation while 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:23.079 preserving internal air flow this is true it does give you more clearance 00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:26.200 around the CPU socket area for uh the 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:28.079 mosfet coolers to receive air flow okay 00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:32.119 we've got intelligent noise speed control fan for quiet and efficient 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:35.640 cooling so that's a pwm fan included we've also got non-corrugated easy Bend 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:40.000 tubing which I talked about before in latest generation copper cold plate and 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 00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:47.719 block um so water block is more of a DIY term I 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 00:01:54.159 --> 00:02:00.159 yeah here we go so they're saying that 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:04.399 the cooler H 20620 has slightly performance than the first generation of 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:08.000 pre-done liquid cooling systems on the market and obviously it Just Smokes the 00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:12.160 stock Intel cooler all right so let's see what we've 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:17.400 got inside the box here first thing we find is the mounting hardware and what 00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:19.519 anc's done creatively here see this is 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:25.080 they have colorcoded the mounting hardware so that if you're using AMD all 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 00:02:26.959 --> 00:02:32.640 using Intel you put the blue tabs in and that way you can accidentally mix them 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:36.360 up because with some of the other products that were based on a similar 00:02:34.239 --> 00:02:41.879 design the OEM is acch which is quite obvious it says acch right on the 00:02:38.440 --> 00:02:44.040 radiator um they were all black and it 00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:47.800 could have been quite confusing all right it comes with an installation 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 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 00:02:54.680 --> 00:03:01.159 block SL pump unit to your 00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:03.959 motherboard next we have the fan it's a 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 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:10.920 blade design okay there's a little markings on it to show you which way the 00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:18.360 air moves oh it's not pwm this one is not 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:20.440 pwm this is a three pin fan connector 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:25.080 okay and then finally we have the cooler 620 itself 00:03:23.799 --> 00:03:28.920 I'm going to take off the little plastic baggie that covers the CPU block and 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:32.400 we're going to have a look at that first so 00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:35.959 here we are you can see it has pre-applied thermal compound this is an 00:03:34.040 --> 00:03:39.879 extremely high quality thermal compound there will be no need to replace that 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:44.120 unless for whatever reason you've installed it once and then you discover 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 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:51.599 off the bottom of the cooler 620 reapply 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:56.439 thermal compound and put it back on okay you can see right here we've 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.400 got rotary fittings so that allows you 00:03:56.439 --> 00:04:03.480 the flexibility to have the fittings or the tubing approach the block from any 00:04:00.799 --> 00:04:06.599 angle without risking kinking it just going to zoom in a little bit here so I 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 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 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:18.079 them is for power to the pump right there so that's a three pin standard 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 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:27.880 actually an output this allows the cooler software to to intelligently 00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:33.560 control the pump and the fan according to liquid temperatures 00:04:31.400 --> 00:04:37.360 I believe at least the 920 does anyway 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:41.600 hold on a second oh bummer okay it looks like I 00:04:39.880 --> 00:04:47.039 was wrong the 620 doesn't include the software so I would definitely recommend 00:04:43.960 --> 00:04:49.199 ponying up a little bit more for the 920 00:04:47.039 --> 00:04:54.080 but the advantages that the 620 still has are the extremely flexible tubing so 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 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 00:04:59.960 --> 00:05:06.440 kinking whatsoever that ensures that you're going to get good flow of the 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 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 00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:18.919 you have power to both of those things all 00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:26.800 right little antech logo on the top okay 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:31.680 finally we have the radiator so as I said before the radiator actually has 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 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 00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:45.000 thin profile radiator so not the thicker style that is used in the 920 so 00:05:42.479 --> 00:05:48.199 performance is going to be about on par with a pretty good aftermarket air 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:52.520 cooler so why would you go with something like this and the answer is 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:56.000 fairly simple for me the reason I would choose one of these pre-done liquid I 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 00:05:58.280 --> 00:06:02.720 going to build a more basic system system I would go with one of these over 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:06.400 a high-end air cooler in certain scenarios if I'm going to be moving the 00:06:04.479 --> 00:06:10.840 system around and if I'm worried about having all of that weight from a cooler 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:14.160 hanging off of the CPU socket then I would definitely consider one of these 00:06:12.280 --> 00:06:18.800 because you're taking the heaviest part this is the radiator full of liquid and 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:21.880 you are bolting it to your case instead of to your motherboard all you're 00:06:20.440 --> 00:06:27.199 bolting to your motherboard is a little pump unit so there's not a ter terrific 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:31.120 amount of weight on the motherboard itself whereas with a lot of tower air 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:37.080 coolers you're putting a huge amount of weight on the motherboard and that is a 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 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:44.240 you for checking out my unboxing don't forget to subscribe to is this thing 00:06:42.919 --> 00:06:50.199 really not going to work for me there we go line is tched from more unboxings 00:06:46.039 --> 00:06:50.199 reviews and other computer videos
