WEBVTT 00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:09.639 I've received endless requests to unbox the corser h70 so here it is the corser 00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:12.639 h70 and I'm going to unbox it so let's start with the CPU compatibility you can 00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:18.800 see that right on the front it is compatible with LGA 775 1156 and 1366 00:00:17.119 --> 00:00:23.119 and it also comes with mounting hardware for am2 and am3 so it's compatible with 00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:27.199 every socket out there that matters right now they've got a nice little 00:00:25.279 --> 00:00:30.519 graph on the back that shows how it dramatically outperforms your CPU stock 00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:35.200 heat sink and uh I can tell you this they don't have this on their graph but they should 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:40.760 because it's probably going to be quieter than your stock heat sink especially under load so here on the 00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:46.320 side we've got the full specs you've got the radiator Dimensions which is 120x 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:49.360 152 by 48 mm you've got your fan 00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:53.359 specifications here so 50 to 61 CFM at 00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:55.559 26 to 31.5 DB so it's not super quiet 00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:59.519 but it's not that loud either and I mean really when you want maximum performance 00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:04.479 out of a CPU Cooler you sometimes have to make compromises as far as uh 00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:09.640 quietness goes so I'm just going to try and figure out how the Box opens exactly 00:01:07.240 --> 00:01:14.680 before I start cutting away at the shrink wrap here so I'm going to cut 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:19.200 there and I'm going to cut here I've had quite a few questions about my new knife 00:01:16.479 --> 00:01:23.240 yes it is a Spyderco knife I don't know exactly which one it is but there's 00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:28.520 their little logo so uh just going to slice that open here 00:01:26.240 --> 00:01:33.439 now I think this is going to come up yes o look another little h70 logo there 00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:38.640 course there really is good at packaging I'll give them that so they've managed 00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:41.320 to take the h70 which is a a slightly 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:45.600 bigger because it has an extra fan in it cooler uh it's a better performing 00:01:43.399 --> 00:01:50.399 cooler than the H50 and they put it in AER box it's like brilliant so here's a 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:55.159 little Corsair Solutions guide they show you their memory cooling power supplies 00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:59.680 chassis and then on the other side you got Flash and storage with ssds they 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:04.560 really do have a very complete lineup the these days it wasn't that long ago 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:05.840 that uh they just had RAM basically so 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:09.479 they want you to deal with their tech support okay instead of getting in touch 00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:16.160 with the store they have a quick start guide here which shows you how to set up 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:17.560 the h70 in only seven easy steps so 00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:21.400 maybe we'll refer to this a little bit as we talk about the h70 here's the AMD 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:25.760 mounting hardware okay so it's a little mounting 00:02:24.040 --> 00:02:30.200 ring thing we'll have a look at this when we actually see it here's 00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:36.760 775 so this shows you the part you need for LGA 775 here's 1156 and here is 1366 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:41.840 so they show you which holes to use on the back plate and then how to configure 00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:47.000 it to uh to go in the right place on the hold down clip oh this says H50 on it no 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:51.800 that's okay we understood what they meant we know it works for the 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:56.920 h72 okay so here we've got a couple of little 00:02:53.480 --> 00:02:58.959 adapters because it has two fans uh you 00:02:56.920 --> 00:03:02.400 might want to use one of these so this way you can plug two two fans into your 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:06.319 CPU fan header so you can see one of them just has power and the other one 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:09.920 has power as well as an RPM monitor so that means that your fan header on your 00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:13.560 motherboard will pick up the RPMs from the one fan but it'll provide the same 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:17.879 power to both fans so that way you can get all the information you need and 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:22.239 power two fans in one Fell Swoop here are your little silencing adapters so 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:25.920 you can throw those on there if you want the whole thing to run just a little bit 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:29.760 quieter than it otherwise would have so there you go you plug those in like that 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:34.040 and then you plug your fans into those so the whole thing comes off your motherboard like that I love how 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:39.560 everything Corsair does is black so you got black wires black connectors black 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:42.439 sleeving very nice okay next we have all 00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:42.439 of our mounting 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:51.120 Hardwares here we go so this is a back 00:03:47.480 --> 00:03:52.760 plate for 775 1156 and 1366 you see 00:03:51.120 --> 00:04:00.000 they've got the three different holes and they've got them all helpfully labeled for which sockets you want to 00:03:56.040 --> 00:04:01.760 use uh next we have aha all the little 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:06.959 pieces of Hardware that those diagrams were for so you put those through the 00:04:04.519 --> 00:04:10.959 Intel mounting plate okay in the way that is demonstrated on that uh on that 00:04:08.920 --> 00:04:15.840 helpful sheet and then you put your little uh your little foamy sticky bits 00:04:13.920 --> 00:04:20.280 on the back of the back plate which go here all right and then you put the 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:23.280 little pegs which are finally here these little silver guys through the back of 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:29.240 the back plate screw the whole thing together shouldn't take you longer than about 8 minutes that's my estimation 00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:32.800 here's your am oh no this is not am mounting hardware this is fan mounting 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:36.600 hardware and then I guess AMD mounting hardware is also in there but you can 00:04:34.280 --> 00:04:42.600 see there's a Corsair back plate as well as an AMD hold down for the h70 or H50 I 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:46.840 guess this would also work with based on uh how it works would work just fine for 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:52.840 either here's all of our fan mounting hardware so we've got washers and screws 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:54.919 and those screws will Bolt the fans onto 00:04:52.840 --> 00:05:00.960 the radiator which is the biggest Improvement on the h70 this radiator is 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:06.320 very thick compar compared to the H50 the H50 is probably about this thick and 00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:10.199 the h70 is this thick now cooling is not rocket science I mean rockets need to be 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:14.320 cooled don't get me wrong so there is cooling involved in rocket science but 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:20.800 cooling isn't rocket science more surface area is better so Corsair 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:22.919 instead of opting to increase the size 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:29.880 of the radiator this way so you can have like a dual 12 mm 120 mm slim radiator 00:05:27.440 --> 00:05:35.680 Corsair has instead decided to go with thicker radiator maintain that 120 mm 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:42.199 compatible Mount so that you can mount it in most cases but still get more fins 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:46.440 in here more surface area and thus better cooling now one of the 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:51.319 disadvantages of having a nice tight fin structure like this and a thick radiator 00:05:48.919 --> 00:05:55.199 is that it's highly resistant to air being pulled through it if you can't 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:59.039 push or pull air efficiently through the radiator it's not going to cool very 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:03.800 well so that's why Corsair has implemented a Push Pull system so that 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:07.919 means when you mount the h70 in the back of your case you will mount it like this 00:06:05.880 --> 00:06:11.319 Corsair recommends you draw fresh air in from the outside although you can 00:06:09.400 --> 00:06:15.160 configure it either way but you'll have the one fan blowing fresh air through 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:19.880 the radiator from the outside and then you'll have the other fan configured on 00:06:16.840 --> 00:06:21.919 the other side drawing that fresh air 00:06:19.880 --> 00:06:27.280 through the rad and then blowing it into the case so you see it's configured with 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:30.720 one pushing air through and one pulling air through two fans so it ends up quite 00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:36.479 thick you're going to want to make sure you have enough clearance in your case to have something this large from the 00:06:35.080 --> 00:06:41.319 back of your case so it's going to maybe stick over your CPU socket a little bit 00:06:38.880 --> 00:06:45.880 but Corsair thought of that too and this is what's so clever because it's so 00:06:43.520 --> 00:06:51.280 thick it might have um you might have had issues with the original H50 CPU 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:56.720 block pump unit uh clearing it now they have a nice lowprofile h70 CPU block and 00:06:54.800 --> 00:07:02.039 pump so it's got pre-applied thermal paste and from my testing uh with the h 00:06:59.599 --> 00:07:06.400 50 this stuff is really good so there's no need to replace that with an 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:09.479 aftermarket paste uh on your first first installation once you've used it then 00:07:07.960 --> 00:07:14.520 you should clean it off and put on a new paste but you can see that the H50 is 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:17.440 probably about this tall with the uh and then maybe even a little bit more once 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:22.840 you have the tubing sticking out of it but the h70 is only about wow that's 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:25.319 about an inch and change tall and then they've got the tubing coming out at a 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:31.080 bit of an angle here and these are actually flexible look at that so you 00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:34.080 can mount this in like the smallest 00:07:31.080 --> 00:07:35.479 smallest profile possible like this so 00:07:34.080 --> 00:07:39.639 you can actually have the tubing coming out at an angle like that so you can 00:07:37.479 --> 00:07:44.159 mount it almost under anything and the pump is powered by just a three pin fan 00:07:42.280 --> 00:07:48.800 connector so you could plug that into just like a system fan plug and you'd be 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:53.120 uh on your way it's got a nice little Corsair uh shiny badge on the front of 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:57.479 it and I think that pretty much concludes my unboxing of the Corsair h70 00:07:55.960 --> 00:08:02.960 thank you for checking it out and don't forget to subscribe to my video blog
