00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:08.120
how bad could a $5 heat sink that we

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:12.320
bought on eBay possibly be how do you

00:00:08.120 --> 00:00:14.360
even make a computer cooler for

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:20.880
$5 to our door

00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:23.320
$5 well we're going to find out on the

00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:27.279
cheapest heat sink on the market and yes my friends we are starting another

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:31.359
series the cheapest on the market and it's going to be flipping awesome

00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:48.120
hp's new Omen X lineup comes equipped with Intel's 7eventh generation core i7

00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:54.359
processor check it out at the link in the video

00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:58.920
description the brand is XY CP and this

00:00:54.359 --> 00:01:01.039
is the whatever that is CPU Cooler 65 W

00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:09.360
maybe that says 3 warranty and it also has support for core i7 and 12 something

00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:09.360
okay let's get it open

00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:18.640
wow so that my

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:20.920
friends holy crap it's like feather

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:26.600
light that is $5 worth of heat sink I mean look at

00:01:23.759 --> 00:01:30.479
this when they were designing the the flower heat sink fin Arrangement like

00:01:28.600 --> 00:01:34.880
this just looks like a you know someone accidentally you know bumped it on the

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:40.320
uh assembly line see this hook kind of came off there see no problem no problem

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

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:49.159
there were like wasn't room for the for

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

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

00:01:57.039 --> 00:02:03.320
looking at an 80 mm fan or somewhere in

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

00:02:08.399 --> 00:02:17.160
quality let me see there m that's a good stuff that's a

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:21.959
good stuff right there W it's really runny actually that doesn't look

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

00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:29.519
thermal volcano warning remove before

00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:33.519
installation warning have your head checked before

00:02:31.519 --> 00:02:37.560
installation all right so you can see what they've done here the construction

00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:43.319
method is pretty actually very very basic so they've got these uh these

00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:47.519
pieces right here that are basically running all the way through and

00:02:45.480 --> 00:02:51.480
compressing so they've got all these fins coming in and you can actually

00:02:49.480 --> 00:02:55.640
follow the lines cuz it's quite cheaply made this is a very old old construction

00:02:53.599 --> 00:03:00.640
method they've got these four pieces of aluminum on either side that extend the

00:02:58.040 --> 00:03:06.080
base and that are basically used to crush all the fins together then they

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

00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:14.400
off now let's put this thing up against

00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:20.920
its main competitor so the stock Intel heat sink with the fan and the mounting

00:03:16.799 --> 00:03:24.680
hardware is 180 g this bad

00:03:20.920 --> 00:03:28.959
boy comes in at

00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:30.920
157 can it possibly hold up so first

00:03:28.959 --> 00:03:36.200
things first we've got to clean off our CPU with alcohol for the most Fair

00:03:33.720 --> 00:03:42.319
possible comparison we're using a 7700k then I've got a brand new Intel

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

00:03:45.239 --> 00:03:53.040
included thermal compound we're not introducing extra variables in our test

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

00:03:55.640 --> 00:04:01.200
go utilization 100%

00:04:00.040 --> 00:04:04.959
CPU temps well we'll give them a

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:13.599
minute I'm just taking in the uh the

00:04:10.040 --> 00:04:13.599
sounds of the of the heat

00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:29.160
sink okay so you can probably hear the way that the fan is

00:04:32.440 --> 00:04:40.720
you hear that ramping up and ramping down so our temperatures and our turbo

00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:45.800
speed actually reasonable so we're hanging in here at

00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:52.600
4.45 GHz on our 7700k all the way up to 4.5 so this

00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:55.560
thing's turboing up to the max at 100%

00:04:52.600 --> 00:05:01.880
load and we're sitting at about 85° on the CPU package

00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:04.520
ideal perhaps not but certainly not

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

00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:11.639
to keep it there so let's lock that sound in our

00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:18.479
minds and try out our $5 heat

00:05:16.440 --> 00:05:27.319
sink all right so with it clean now we can put on

00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:31.160
our uh thermal lava here oh look at that

00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:34.039
that oh oh shoot oh

00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:41.680
crap okay well oh quality oh beautiful okay okay

00:05:40.080 --> 00:05:45.680
now I'm ready with my mounting hardware you basically put these little clear

00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:52.360
plastic inserts into the hole that corresponds to the socket you want so

00:05:47.280 --> 00:05:53.919
it's 775 or 1150 whatever then we just I

00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:57.880
guess put this on here oh do not tell me this is not going

00:05:56.479 --> 00:06:05.800
to align oh man oh you hear that

00:06:02.520 --> 00:06:08.400
crunching um oh shoot I legitimately

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

00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:16.400
now okay maybe if I

00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:19.759
can press it ow oh

00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:27.560
crap shoot it's hooked on there real good

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

00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.560
after

00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:41.639
shoot ow okay I got to get the video card off

00:06:39.479 --> 00:06:47.720
here okay well there are some Creature Comforts that definitely come with using

00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:49.680
a uh a more modern design but if we put

00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:53.560
it on this way I think we might actually be okay

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

00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:01.360
way down K take the RAM out here we go

00:06:59.080 --> 00:07:06.080
oh going to make it over that yes

00:07:02.919 --> 00:07:09.440
okay we have a mount but can I get the

00:07:06.080 --> 00:07:13.680
RAM back in now that is the

00:07:09.440 --> 00:07:16.520
question oh I'm sorry gkill I'm sorry to

00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:22.759
subject your memory to this ah there we go look at that it's like

00:07:19.080 --> 00:07:24.440
it's designed for it it sits like right

00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:30.160
there yeah yeah boy all right let's turn this

00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:35.919
thing on all right right so it's got this like you know

00:07:32.840 --> 00:07:40.160
orange spinning style you know what it

00:07:35.919 --> 00:07:41.919
actually looks pretty cool I I

00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:47.639
legitimately think it looks cooler than the stock heat sink just because of that

00:07:44.440 --> 00:07:49.000
that Orange fan uh systems booted so we

00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:55.120
clearly haven't outright broken

00:07:51.520 --> 00:07:55.919
anything oh boy I don't think this is a

00:07:55.120 --> 00:08:00.879
good sign I already heard it ramp up for a

00:07:58.440 --> 00:08:08.800
second there but let's fire this up oh okay that's

00:08:03.080 --> 00:08:10.840
all fine Miss okay here we

00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:17.520
go oh oh

00:08:14.520 --> 00:08:17.520
dang

00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:25.639
101° on the CPU package H it's painful

00:08:23.960 --> 00:08:32.320
look at the throttling look at the throttling

00:08:30.039 --> 00:08:38.440
19% thermal throttling oh the

00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:40.360
humanity oh we've already fallen from

00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:49.080
4.5 to 4.24 GHz it just can't keep

00:08:46.160 --> 00:08:58.240
up ah so if the question was could a $5

00:08:54.279 --> 00:09:02.640
heat sink be worse than a free heat

00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:04.440
sink the the answer is in fact yes my

00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:13.720
friends but does its performance hold up to what

00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:16.000
I would expect for a $5 product given

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

00:09:19.959 --> 00:09:25.880
$15 then yes yes it holds up to what I

00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:32.279
would expect I am shocked that we got anything for

00:09:27.920 --> 00:09:35.200
$5 even something as ineffective as this

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

00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:44.079
wondering if hey you know maybe it was

00:09:40.959 --> 00:09:45.600
you know under promise overd deliver and

00:09:44.079 --> 00:09:51.560
