1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:07,000
today I have a huge box and I want you

2
00:00:04,319 --> 00:00:10,519
to take a couple seconds and don't cheat don't look at the title of the video

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:13,480
because I always do this and everyone always looks at the title of the video

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:19,240
and they're like oh lus I didn't have to guess cuz I just looked at the title of the video hahaa okay try to actually

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:25,400
guess what it is without looking at the title of the video it's a heat sink it's

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:29,960
a heat sink and the box is like the size of my head look at

7
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:33,559
this had I turned it like this yet cameraman screwed up he pressed the

8
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:41,879
wrong button so this is the Silver Arrow it is compatible with LGA 1366 1156

9
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:43,600
775 as well as AMD socket am2 am3 so

10
00:00:41,879 --> 00:00:49,559
it's compatible with every socket on the market that matters and it is huge

11
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:55,079
according to the Box anyway I haven't actually got it open yet so I'm not 100%

12
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:58,120
sure the first thing I find inside is just a listing of everything that comes

13
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,840
in the package so it shows you all the different mounting hardware you get it

14
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:05,400
actually comes with a little wrench it comes with some little uh vibration

15
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:12,080
dampening triangles it comes with some thermal compound all right then we have

16
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:14,360
a little explod mated view exploded view

17
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:20,439
oh and a sticker so this is an exploded view of how to operate

18
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:22,079
the Intel mounting hardware okay so

19
00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:29,479
there's step-by-step instructions on the back they show you how to line up all the different holes for 775 1156 and

20
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:34,079
1366 and then here we have the AMD mounting Hardware which is actually way

21
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:37,479
simpler it's just a little bracket that uh clamps down on top of the cooler and

22
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:42,320
then goes right into the stock back plate from your am2 or am3 socket so you

23
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:46,799
can see it's only a six St process including like plugging in the fans and

24
00:01:44,759 --> 00:01:51,360
stuff so that's a very very straightforward on the AMD side here we

25
00:01:49,479 --> 00:01:59,200
have a thermal right sticker and here we have all of the

26
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:02,520
included goodies so this okay the first

27
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,680
thing that comes to mind besides the

28
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:10,840
fact that um the fans are kind of an unattractive color is the fact that this

29
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:13,959
has the thickest heat pipes on it out of

30
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,680
any cooler I have ever seen so let's

31
00:02:13,959 --> 00:02:22,720
have a quick look at these fans these look like uh 140 mm fans but they

32
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:24,640
actually use a circular frame and 120 mm

33
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:28,959
mounting holes so that means that you should have better compatibility with um

34
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:32,080
with most cases on the market or with most coolers on the market Market

35
00:02:30,519 --> 00:02:37,560
although these are obviously designed to be used with this particular cooler but

36
00:02:34,519 --> 00:02:39,080
you do get that additional uh fan blade

37
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:44,519
size and you do get a little bit more air flow out of it and in theory a 140

38
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:49,319
mm fan spinning at the same RPM as a 120 mm fan is going to net you more air flow

39
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:54,040
and better cooling so okay here we'll have a look at the accessories that are

40
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:57,440
included first and then I'll show you the cooler I know if you want you can

41
00:02:55,519 --> 00:03:02,840
just skip ahead and see the cooler but if you want to see the accessories then

42
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:04,599
this is the time to see

43
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:10,480
them okay lots and lots and lots of stuff

44
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,840
included here so the first thing we see

45
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:16,840
these are some mounting clips for the fan so we have four because this is a

46
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:23,200
dual fan cooler so you can hook up two fans then we have the included wrench as

47
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:26,200
well as some included cf3 thermal

48
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,439
compound okay next we have the AMD

49
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:33,280
mounting hardware so the way this one works oh no this is a universal piece

50
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:40,239
okay so this is the hold down for the cooler in general as far as I can tell

51
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:44,599
okay this is the AMD specific

52
00:03:40,239 --> 00:03:46,879
piece and then this is the Intel um hold

53
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:53,319
down as well as the Intel back plate so you can see it's got the slidable uh

54
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:56,680
posts so you can go through 775 1156 or

55
00:03:53,319 --> 00:03:58,480
1366 without any difficulties all right

56
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:02,439
we've got some thumb screws here that are actually not just thumb screws

57
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:07,120
they're ones that you can actually uh screw something into the top of as well

58
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:12,400
all okay so mounting system all looks very very solid every single piece of it

59
00:04:10,079 --> 00:04:16,799
is made out of like thick steel look how thick the steel is so you don't have to

60
00:04:14,519 --> 00:04:21,600
worry about anything getting broken if you're shipping your system like NC the

61
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:26,680
uh the store I work at we actually build systems and you can buy a system with an

62
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:29,759
aftermarket cooler on it but if you buy one that has a cheap mounting system

63
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:33,639
that's made out of some kind of a brittle plastic or anything like that

64
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:37,680
then the cooler can actually I mean look how big this thing is it could snap off

65
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:42,039
in shipping but as long as you include like a huge steel uh back plate and

66
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,800
mounting bracket for it it's not going anywhere so that's uh that's something

67
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:50,520
that you might not think about if you're just your average end user but is very

68
00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:56,479
important to a system builder uh who's considering using a heat sink like this

69
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:58,880
in a system so this is the Silver Arrow

70
00:04:56,479 --> 00:05:03,440
okay okay the heat pipes are not as big as I had orig Al thought I thought the

71
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:09,199
heat pipes were actually this big but these look like they're just 8 mm heat

72
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:11,000
pipes which are still huge so I'm going

73
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:16,960
to just go ahead and say this this reminds me already a lot of the co gaug

74
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:20,319
Arrow so this is the Silver Arrow which is released under the thermal right

75
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:25,560
branding as you may or may not already be aware coage is owned by thermal right

76
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:29,120
so it's uh not like we're seeing thermal right knock somebody off I want to make

77
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:34,000
sure nobody thinks that there's our obligatory finger shot where you can see

78
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:36,039
how shiny and typically how flat thermal

79
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,560
right bases are so this is not them ripping it off this is them taking the

80
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:47,120
uh the coau Branded design making it more blingy so unlike the coau one which

81
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:49,360
uses a flat finish on all of the fins

82
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:53,319
this one actually uses a very very shiny finish so I can I can see myself in this

83
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:57,560
no problem and see if I can look at the camera there y so uh you can see my

84
00:05:55,639 --> 00:06:01,280
glasses in the top of it so that means if you have a lit case like if you have

85
00:05:59,319 --> 00:06:04,880
any cathodes or anything like that in your computer case you will be able to

86
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:11,840
see the light shining off this really nicely the overall design of it looks

87
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:14,440
quite similar uh the arrow uses huge

88
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:18,240
thick heat pipes as well and uh you know what since I'm you know not really

89
00:06:16,759 --> 00:06:23,280
talking about anything else for now why don't I just sort of have a quick look

90
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:24,720
at how to mount the fans so if it works

91
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:31,440
the same way is the arrow which I'm going to go ahead and assume it probably

92
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:31,440
does we're going to use the little

93
00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:40,319
okay well we'll use the fan glips

94
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:50,000
then ah there they are we'll use the little triangles which I have found

95
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:52,800
now as a vibration dampening

96
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:58,120
thing okay I sure hope I'm right about this

97
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:06,599
yeah I'm right okay good I hate it when I make assumptions and I end up not

98
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,720
being right so we just go ahead and throw those on the corners now that's

99
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:16,120
not going to have a negative impact on performance because not a whole lot of airow air

100
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:20,479
flow goes through the corner anyway so then all you do is you position your fan

101
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:25,479
in the right place so you can actually use 120 mm fans but I'm using the

102
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:30,039
included thermal right ones here and then you use

103
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:34,280
your flips to put them through the hole here ah

104
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:38,120
they use quite a flexible clip with this one that's really nice makes it a lot

105
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:42,960
easier to thread it through the hole in the top and the bottom of the heat

106
00:07:39,879 --> 00:07:45,520
sink so just like

107
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:48,680
that just being careful to drive it through Straight because it actually has

108
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:54,000
to go through quite a good number of these fins and then all you do is

109
00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:54,000
position the fan in the right

110
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:02,120
place and go like that then you do that

111
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:07,120
on both sides and you have mounted the fan now it's got a ton of fan mounting

112
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:12,440
options you can mount it with one fan here one fan in the middle one fan on

113
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,639
the other side so you can do up to three fans or you could even just do one in

114
00:08:14,599 --> 00:08:19,840
the middle so you can see you got mounting holes here here here and here

115
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:23,840
so while there's not enough room for two fans in the middle for obvious reasons

116
00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:27,759
you can use either of these two to mount the middle fan and then you can mount

117
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:31,199
two fans on the outside as well so it's very very flexible in terms of mounting

118
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:34,719
on options and one thing that I have noticed about the coage arrow which I'm

119
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:38,760
going to assume is the same for the Silver Arrow is that the motherboard

120
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:44,519
compatibility is a little bit better than some of the competing huge dual

121
00:08:40,959 --> 00:08:46,200
Tower coolers such as the Noctua NHD 14

122
00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:49,399
uh the reason for that is just the way they've positioned the heat pipes here

123
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:54,279
keeps them a little bit more out of the way of your uh of your motherboard MOS

124
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:58,640
fat cooler so I actually was able to mount the coage arrow on a motherboard

125
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,720
that I wasn't able to mount any other huge High performance coolers on so

126
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:09,480
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the thermal right Silver Arrow and I

127
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,480
hope you have enjoyed it
