1
00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:08,120
how bad could a $5 heat sink that we

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:12,320
bought on eBay possibly be how do you

3
00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:14,360
even make a computer cooler for

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:20,880
$5 to our door

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:23,320
$5 well we're going to find out on the

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:27,279
cheapest heat sink on the market and yes my friends we are starting another

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,359
series the cheapest on the market and it's going to be flipping awesome

8
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:48,120
hp's new Omen X lineup comes equipped with Intel's 7eventh generation core i7

9
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:54,359
processor check it out at the link in the video

10
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:58,920
description the brand is XY CP and this

11
00:00:54,359 --> 00:01:01,039
is the whatever that is CPU Cooler 65 W

12
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:09,360
maybe that says 3 warranty and it also has support for core i7 and 12 something

13
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,360
okay let's get it open

14
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:18,640
wow so that my

15
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:20,920
friends holy crap it's like feather

16
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:26,600
light that is $5 worth of heat sink I mean look at

17
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:30,479
this when they were designing the the flower heat sink fin Arrangement like

18
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:34,880
this just looks like a you know someone accidentally you know bumped it on the

19
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:40,320
uh assembly line see this hook kind of came off there see no problem no problem

20
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:47,200
you just put that baby back together no big deal but but look at this they uh

21
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:49,159
there were like wasn't room for the for

22
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:55,119
the frame for the fan so they're just like no problem well just bend it no big

23
00:01:52,439 --> 00:02:00,719
deal no problem that's where the that's where the wire comes out okay so we're

24
00:01:57,039 --> 00:02:03,320
looking at an 80 mm fan or somewhere in

25
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:10,879
between like 75 mm fan I think that's 80 mil oh man this stuff this stuff looks

26
00:02:08,399 --> 00:02:17,160
quality let me see there m that's a good stuff that's a

27
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:21,959
good stuff right there W it's really runny actually that doesn't look

28
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:27,599
especially quality look at this look at this it's just like it's like a little

29
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,519
thermal volcano warning remove before

30
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:33,519
installation warning have your head checked before

31
00:02:31,519 --> 00:02:37,560
installation all right so you can see what they've done here the construction

32
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:43,319
method is pretty actually very very basic so they've got these uh these

33
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:47,519
pieces right here that are basically running all the way through and

34
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:51,480
compressing so they've got all these fins coming in and you can actually

35
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:55,640
follow the lines cuz it's quite cheaply made this is a very old old construction

36
00:02:53,599 --> 00:03:00,640
method they've got these four pieces of aluminum on either side that extend the

37
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:06,080
base and that are basically used to crush all the fins together then they

38
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:12,280
machine the bottom as flat as they can in a couple of minutes there and ship it

39
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:14,400
off now let's put this thing up against

40
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:20,920
its main competitor so the stock Intel heat sink with the fan and the mounting

41
00:03:16,799 --> 00:03:24,680
hardware is 180 g this bad

42
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:28,959
boy comes in at

43
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,920
157 can it possibly hold up so first

44
00:03:28,959 --> 00:03:36,200
things first we've got to clean off our CPU with alcohol for the most Fair

45
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:42,319
possible comparison we're using a 7700k then I've got a brand new Intel

46
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:47,439
stock cooler going to go ahead and throw that bad boy on there so I'm using the

47
00:03:45,239 --> 00:03:53,040
included thermal compound we're not introducing extra variables in our test

48
00:03:50,519 --> 00:04:00,040
so we're going to hit this baby with an i to 64 stress test here we

49
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:01,200
go utilization 100%

50
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,959
CPU temps well we'll give them a

51
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:13,599
minute I'm just taking in the uh the

52
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,599
sounds of the of the heat

53
00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:29,160
sink okay so you can probably hear the way that the fan is

54
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:40,720
you hear that ramping up and ramping down so our temperatures and our turbo

55
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:45,800
speed actually reasonable so we're hanging in here at

56
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:52,600
4.45 GHz on our 7700k all the way up to 4.5 so this

57
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:55,560
thing's turboing up to the max at 100%

58
00:04:52,600 --> 00:05:01,880
load and we're sitting at about 85° on the CPU package

59
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:04,520
ideal perhaps not but certainly not

60
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:09,039
going to damage it but what we also hear is that that fan is working really hard

61
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,639
to keep it there so let's lock that sound in our

62
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,479
minds and try out our $5 heat

63
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:27,319
sink all right so with it clean now we can put on

64
00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:31,160
our uh thermal lava here oh look at that

65
00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:34,039
that oh oh shoot oh

66
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:41,680
crap okay well oh quality oh beautiful okay okay

67
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:45,680
now I'm ready with my mounting hardware you basically put these little clear

68
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:52,360
plastic inserts into the hole that corresponds to the socket you want so

69
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:53,919
it's 775 or 1150 whatever then we just I

70
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,880
guess put this on here oh do not tell me this is not going

71
00:05:56,479 --> 00:06:05,800
to align oh man oh you hear that

72
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:08,400
crunching um oh shoot I legitimately

73
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:14,120
don't know if it's going to fit that way oh how am I going to get this out

74
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,400
now okay maybe if I

75
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:19,759
can press it ow oh

76
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:27,560
crap shoot it's hooked on there real good

77
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:31,560
now well maybe I can get this side I don't know how I'm going to remove this

78
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,560
after

79
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:41,639
shoot ow okay I got to get the video card off

80
00:06:39,479 --> 00:06:47,720
here okay well there are some Creature Comforts that definitely come with using

81
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,680
a uh a more modern design but if we put

82
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:53,560
it on this way I think we might actually be okay

83
00:06:51,039 --> 00:06:59,080
here shoot it's going to interfere with the RAM before I can press it all the

84
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:01,360
way down K take the RAM out here we go

85
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:06,080
oh going to make it over that yes

86
00:07:02,919 --> 00:07:09,440
okay we have a mount but can I get the

87
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:13,680
RAM back in now that is the

88
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:16,520
question oh I'm sorry gkill I'm sorry to

89
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:22,759
subject your memory to this ah there we go look at that it's like

90
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:24,440
it's designed for it it sits like right

91
00:07:22,759 --> 00:07:30,160
there yeah yeah boy all right let's turn this

92
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:35,919
thing on all right right so it's got this like you know

93
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:40,160
orange spinning style you know what it

94
00:07:35,919 --> 00:07:41,919
actually looks pretty cool I I

95
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:47,639
legitimately think it looks cooler than the stock heat sink just because of that

96
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,000
that Orange fan uh systems booted so we

97
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:55,120
clearly haven't outright broken

98
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,919
anything oh boy I don't think this is a

99
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:00,879
good sign I already heard it ramp up for a

100
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:08,800
second there but let's fire this up oh okay that's

101
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:10,840
all fine Miss okay here we

102
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:17,520
go oh oh

103
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,520
dang

104
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:25,639
101° on the CPU package H it's painful

105
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:32,320
look at the throttling look at the throttling

106
00:08:30,039 --> 00:08:38,440
19% thermal throttling oh the

107
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:40,360
humanity oh we've already fallen from

108
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:49,080
4.5 to 4.24 GHz it just can't keep

109
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:58,240
up ah so if the question was could a $5

110
00:08:54,279 --> 00:09:02,640
heat sink be worse than a free heat

111
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:04,440
sink the the answer is in fact yes my

112
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:13,720
friends but does its performance hold up to what

113
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:16,000
I would expect for a $5 product given

114
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:23,680
that if you try and buy one of these on eBay it'll actually cost you about

115
00:09:19,959 --> 00:09:25,880
$15 then yes yes it holds up to what I

116
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:32,279
would expect I am shocked that we got anything for

117
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:35,200
$5 even something as ineffective as this

118
00:09:32,279 --> 00:09:40,959
remember it's rated for 65 Watts not the 95 Watts we threw at it we were just

119
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:44,079
wondering if hey you know maybe it was

120
00:09:40,959 --> 00:09:45,600
you know under promise overd deliver and

121
00:09:44,079 --> 00:09:51,560
