1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:11,200
okay so today's unboxing is actually going to be captured with the Microsoft

2
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:13,320
lifecam uh HD 5000 and uh I'm going to

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:19,199
be unboxing the Arctic cooling freezer extreme revision 2 and uh so yeah this

4
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:23,160
is meant to be two things an unboxing of this particular heat sink as well as an

5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:26,960
example of what kind of video quality you can expect from the Microsoft

6
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:30,560
lifecam that I unboxed a little while ago so you can see it is pretty clear

7
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:35,480
and we're going to see how well it does with the close-ups because the lighting

8
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:37,120
a isn't great in my office and B I have

9
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:42,559
these screens behind me which makes it really difficult for even a good camera

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:45,200
to focus and uh and get good focusing

11
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:48,520
image quality okay so let's unbox this heat sink this is the freezer extreme

12
00:00:46,879 --> 00:00:52,520
rev 2 it's like the freezer extreme except or Vision 2 it has excellent

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:57,920
compatibility so it supports pretty much everything out there 1366 1156 775 so

14
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:03,399
that's all the Intel sockets at the moment and then support for am3 am2 plus

15
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:08,640
and am2 which are all the same as well as 939 it still includes support for

16
00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:12,720
socket 939 which is pretty ancient at this point all right so we got unmatched

17
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:15,960
cooling performance as a feature unique twin tower it's not so unique anymore

18
00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:20,119
lots of coolers are using the Twin Towers effective heat dissipation via

19
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:23,600
eight heat pipes that's pretty good patented fan holders eliminate buzzing

20
00:01:22,119 --> 00:01:29,479
sounds voltage regulators and Northbridge cooling uh oh yeah we can talk about

21
00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:34,159
that in a minute okay pre-applied MX2 so it comes with a very high quality

22
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,759
pre-applied thermal compound that's huge because you can get the best cooler in

23
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:41,840
the world if it comes with crappy thermal compound you're going to get crappy performance all right next we

24
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:49,240
have they only compare it against the stock cooler so cooling performance as

25
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:50,920
well as um noise okay they give you some

26
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:56,280
Dimensions here so the fan runs it anywhere from 800 to 1500 RPM and it is

27
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,880
a pwm fan and I think that's pretty much

28
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:02,920
all I want to say about the outside of the package so why don't we get this

29
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:04,640
thing opened up and have a look see so

30
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:09,119
the first thing we find inside is a piece of paper and that piece of paper

31
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:13,160
has some writing on it in a couple different

32
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:16,599
languages okay so let's go to English because that's what I speak okay step

33
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:20,519
one remove the fan press the fan shoulders to unlock the fan and lift the

34
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:27,160
fan upwards step to so we've got six steps on this side and then seven steps

35
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:32,400
for Intel and then five steps for AMD so AMD looks to be a little bit simpler

36
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:37,360
okay let's take that out and then let's get down to more accessories here okay

37
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:42,480
so we've got a little baggie of this is Intel and it has two screws in it okay

38
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:47,480
and then the next thing we have is what appears to be AMD mounting clips as well

39
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:53,280
as some little like um I don't know I don't know what those

40
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,760
are shaped like but there they are okay

41
00:02:53,280 --> 00:03:00,440
next we have the cooler itself wow that was pretty straightforward as far as um

42
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:04,159
mounting hardware is concerned so somehow they found a way to mount this

43
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:09,959
using either two screws or like two little clippy things ah here it is so

44
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:15,440
this is the back plate I guess how does this

45
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,120
work well you're smart people I'm sure you can figure it out when you buy it

46
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:23,480
and see the instruction manual okay so the actual cooler itself it has a

47
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:27,080
plastic shroudy thing on the top and to remove the fan you just squeeze that

48
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:31,720
together and pull the fan out why don't we just remove the fan okay so there's

49
00:03:28,799 --> 00:03:34,680
the fan it's a 12 mm round fan and what's a little bit special about this

50
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:40,040
fan that I'm going to point out right off the bat here is the fact that it is

51
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:45,200
Round And the fact that at the bottom the frame is actually cut out so you see

52
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:48,439
how the frame is thick here but then thin down at the bottom so that's what

53
00:03:47,239 --> 00:03:54,120
they're talking about when they say you've got pwm cooling because this fan

54
00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:58,799
will actually it'll blow directed air through the heat sink fins from the

55
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:03,720
sides here but then it has no it has no no air Direction

56
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:04,959
flow control here so what it does is

57
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,879
when it spins it'll just kind of randomly blow air out the bottom which

58
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:13,040
will keep your voltage Regulators as well as your memory modules anything

59
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:16,079
around your CPU socket a lot cooler so that's pretty neat all right so why

60
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:20,079
don't we have a look at the cooler itself so like they said they use a twin

61
00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:26,080
tower design so that means that you're taking advantage not only of the air

62
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,400
coming out of the fan but also the air

63
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:31,960
coming into the fan and while it's not quite as effective as say taking these

64
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:36,600
two putting them side by side and throwing two separate fans on it the air

65
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:42,600
once it's been through one set of fins is not that hot compared to the actual

66
00:04:40,919 --> 00:04:46,840
CPU so it's still going to do a fair amount of cooling on the other side now

67
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,759
on the sides of this heat sink we've got a couple more like plastic shroudy

68
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:54,800
things and those uh don't appear to come off okay then if you look down into the

69
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:59,199
bottom you can see the mounting system a little bit better I still am not 100%

70
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,720
clear about how that works but we're seeing the autofocus abilities of this

71
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:08,639
life cam pretty well here and it's doing a terrific job actually all right fin

72
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:12,280
fin density so here why don't we oh

73
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:14,960
let's look through the fins at the

74
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:18,880
screen I don't know what that proved but now we've done it okay four heat pipes

75
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:23,400
at the bottom these appear to be 6 mm heat pipes they're not particularly

76
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:27,680
thick but my experience it comes down to design more than you know marketing

77
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:31,479
bullet points so this is an excellent cooler and it does a great job you've

78
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:36,039
got the pre-applied MX2 here on the bottom and I think that pretty much

79
00:05:33,479 --> 00:05:40,600
takes care of everything I wanted to say about the uh the Arctic cooling EXT

80
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:44,520
freezer extreme rev 2 thank you for checking out my unboxing and oh yeah we

81
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:50,520
should talk about that uh that camera a little bit too let's have a look at the software so this is the Microsoft

82
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:55,720
lifecam software you can adjust uh true color settings which are over here uh so

83
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,600
you can turn that on and off oh that's so that's what happens if I turn off

84
00:05:57,039 --> 00:06:02,440
true color it becomes a lot harder for it to control the

85
00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:05,960
well the color and it does a great job actually based on the video we just took

86
00:06:04,479 --> 00:06:11,680
you can select a bunch of different modes for capturing video where're using

87
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:13,440
uh 1280 x 720 HD video capture you can

88
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:18,039
adjust your micro microphone volume which I hope is high enough after we've

89
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:21,759
done this big long video and uh yeah that's it thank you for checking out my

90
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:29,400
unboxing and uh lots more video updates to

91
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:29,400
come oh yeah I turn it off fail
