00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:13.759
welcome to an unboxing here on lineus techtips I actually have one of the

00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:17.760
applicants for my new assistant position holding the camera for me today and we

00:00:15.719 --> 00:00:22.680
are going to be unboxing his pick of all the things that are in the room right

00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:25.320
now to unbox and that is the NZXT Havoc

00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:30.720
140 this is a new cooler from NZXT now their claim is it actually performs as

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:36.120
well as the Noctua n hd14 but looks cooler in their opinion

00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:39.480
although I do have to say that with those blades on the fan and that finish

00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:42.360
on the heat sink itself it does look pretty darn cool let's see what they

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:49.239
have to say for themselves we've got compatibility for socket 1155 1156 and

00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:51.160
775 as well as am3 am2 plus am2 and

00:00:49.239 --> 00:00:55.320
remember that also means it's compatible with am3 plus because it will use the

00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:58.879
same mounting system specially designed rubber Fasteners to reduce vibration and

00:00:57.239 --> 00:01:03.559
secure fans to heat sink all right unique fan blades Prov quiet 25 D

00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:08.640
operation highly effective air flow very nice okay 6 6 mm heat pipes with

00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:13.280
standard dual 140 mm fans for most efficient conductivity sturdy mounting

00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:16.960
bracket newly patented fins exceptionally slice passing air for

00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:21.560
increased ventilation now I thought these were just to look cool but I guess

00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:25.320
there's only one way to know for sure 100% soldered copper Bas and aluminum

00:01:23.960 --> 00:01:29.680
fins with nickel plating to ensure resilience against deterioration quality

00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:33.680
and long life I hope that it doesn't have resilience against long life and I

00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:37.640
really hope that they were actually talking about just the resilience

00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:40.840
against the deterioration and other things that were mentioned there so

00:01:39.479 --> 00:01:45.320
let's go ahead and break the seal because that's what we do on this

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:51.520
channel and how do I open the box I don't know

00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:54.360
from the bottom oh there's another seal all right we get to break the seal twice

00:01:53.439 --> 00:02:01.000
on this product exciting so let's see what NZXT

00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:07.320
has inside so the first thing we find is a manual it's not in color although I'm

00:02:05.320 --> 00:02:11.440
not really sure that color manuals are a necessary expense for coolers especially

00:02:09.640 --> 00:02:14.599
when you have a nice blown up diagram like this that shows you where all the

00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:19.879
parts are going to go in order to install it on the Intel or AMD system

00:02:18.040 --> 00:02:23.160
okay on this side we've got our step by step although I mean just for quickness

00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:28.599
sake you're probably going to want to use oh no these are just Parts lists I

00:02:25.640 --> 00:02:32.360
thought are these in order I can't tell let me see y yeah yeah those look like

00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.959
they're in order of how it's held down so at the end it's held down by a spring

00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:38.560
mounted bit and then it's just a matter of which mounting hardware you're

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:43.080
putting over the socket of your motherboard so first thing we find is a

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:46.640
fan packed in very nice closed cell foam so there's definitely no risk of damage

00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:50.920
to that fan it's got a very short connector on it and it's got black

00:02:48.920 --> 00:02:55.239
sleeving as well as a black connector so it should match your Hardware fairly

00:02:52.760 --> 00:03:00.760
well these are 140 mil fans but they use that cool circular frame design which

00:02:57.519 --> 00:03:02.480
allows them to mount on 120 m mm mounts

00:03:00.760 --> 00:03:08.319
compared to a square frame which would put those mounting holes a little bit

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:11.640
further out all right we've got another

00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:13.720
fan much like the last one except more

00:03:11.640 --> 00:03:19.680
different all right we have some do not eat desicant silica gel all right don't

00:03:16.920 --> 00:03:22.959
eat that please and then we have oh okay hold on let's uh let's have a look at

00:03:21.640 --> 00:03:27.799
the mounting hardware first and then we'll do this the CPU Cooler itself so

00:03:25.799 --> 00:03:31.319
uh in terms of accessories we've got a bunch of stuff here so we've got what

00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:34.159
looks look at how thick that back plate is here let's take that

00:03:35.920 --> 00:03:43.959
out all right then what are these These

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:49.519
are rubber Fasteners huh cool Okay so we've got 1

00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:53.519
two three four of those so these rubber Fasteners are what allow us to mount the

00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:58.879
fans to the cooler all right we've got some various back plates and hold down

00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:03.120
mechanisms these are very very thick check this out you manage to warp a

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:07.079
motherboard with one of these installed on it then you're probably doing it

00:04:04.799 --> 00:04:10.560
wrong this is the side for AMD look how thick that thing is here we'll do the

00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:14.000
we'll do the iPhone thickness comparison that you guys all love so much there you

00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:18.440
go so it's about the thickness of the glass on an iPhone all right so you got

00:04:16.359 --> 00:04:22.720
some plastic bits here just to make sure that it doesn't short out on your

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:28.040
motherboard okay we've got some additional hold down pieces all made out

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:31.840
of nice thick steel so you're not going to have any difficulty with uh with

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:35.479
those bending or coming loose in shipping that can be a big concern with

00:04:33.880 --> 00:04:40.039
these heavy heat sinks because especially for NC I mean when we're

00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:45.440
shipping systems across the country um it can be problematic if the system heat

00:04:42.479 --> 00:04:51.560
sink comes loose in transit and bangs around inside which has happened believe

00:04:48.039 --> 00:04:55.720
me and it's very very very bad all right

00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:59.919
here we go let's take out the heat sink

00:04:55.720 --> 00:05:01.800
itself and have a look

00:04:59.919 --> 00:05:07.360
lots and lots of heat pipes in this thing this actually reminds me of the uh

00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:12.720
thermal right Ultra 120 extreme a little bit although more heat pipes for sure

00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:17.840
than the ultra 120 extreme had so there's actually six heat pipes which

00:05:14.840 --> 00:05:21.880
are all bent in a u configuration it's

00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:23.720
got kind of a a matte silver finish and

00:05:21.880 --> 00:05:30.240
then you can see that it's actually a fairly loose fin array so my expectation

00:05:27.919 --> 00:05:37.400
is that this is this cooler is going to perform best with low RPM fans which is

00:05:34.039 --> 00:05:39.199
indeed what NZXT has supplied with it so

00:05:37.400 --> 00:05:42.680
let's have a look at how they've uh laid out the the heat pipes here so you can

00:05:41.039 --> 00:05:47.360
see we have the Six coming through on each side and then they either Bend IN

00:05:44.919 --> 00:05:51.280
like this or they Bend not quite as much or they come out to the edge of the

00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:55.960
cooler now one good thing about a cooler like this versus something like a D14 um

00:05:54.319 --> 00:06:00.440
regardless of performance cuz we haven't had a look at performance yet is that it

00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:04.360
is going to be more compatible with a wider variety of motherboards compared

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:09.000
to a monstrosity like the D14 which is basically like two of these side by side

00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:13.160
where you can put a fan in the middle and a fan on either side so it's got

00:06:11.440 --> 00:06:16.720
some heft to it but again with this mounting mechanism I really wouldn't

00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:20.280
expect to run into any trouble with it putting it too much strain on your

00:06:18.400 --> 00:06:23.919
motherboard we can do the obligatory finger shot here so you can see it's got

00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:28.880
some shininess to it although there is some definite some definite grain to the

00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:34.639
finish on the bottom although that does not necessarily impact performance in

00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:39.360
any way now in terms of mounting these fans you notice that they had very very

00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:41.960
short connectors on them so I just want

00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:45.520
to show you guys why that is it's because we actually have an included

00:06:43.400 --> 00:06:50.599
splitter so you just go ahead hook both fans up to the splitter

00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:55.919
that came with it so you can put those on either

00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:58.560
side there we go oops okay well it'll go

00:06:55.919 --> 00:07:02.240
kind of something like that you hook up the splitter and then you hook the whole

00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:06.080
thing up to your motherboard so this is what it'll look like once you've got the

00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:11.199
fans on it it's about this big and we can do

00:07:09.440 --> 00:07:18.160
another iPhone shot just so that you guys can see the overall size of the

00:07:14.479 --> 00:07:19.599
unit itself in comparison to an iPhone

00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:25.199
and I think that pretty much covers everything I wanted to say about the Havoc 140 don't forget to subscribe to

00:07:23.400 --> 00:07:29.120
lus Tech tips and thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at this

00:07:27.599 --> 00:07:35.599
new heat sink which is actually the first heat sink for

00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:40.240
NZXT so here's actually how these rubber mounting mechanisms work you take them

00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:45.479
and you screw them into the not screw them you put them into the fan like this

00:07:42.440 --> 00:07:48.560
and then you take these rubber bits here

00:07:45.479 --> 00:07:50.039
and then you pull them around the edge

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:53.879
of where you would normally have like a mounting bar which is what we see on

00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:57.479
something like a thermal right cooler now they are a little bit tricky to get

00:07:55.280 --> 00:08:02.080
in there and I wouldn't mind if NZXT also included U mounting bar to go along

00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:06.879
with the rubber pieces but basically you put them behind there on both sides you

00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:11.400
have to kind of you know if I I guess if we took like uh like a screw or

00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:14.800
something and sort of push that in there then we might have a little bit better

00:08:12.840 --> 00:08:20.000
luck the good news is you only have to do this once I guess there we go so you

00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:24.440
put it under there and then that is what holds the fan on so you take four of

00:08:21.960 --> 00:08:29.199
those and then you can actually see that there's going to be a significant

00:08:26.440 --> 00:08:32.120
buffer between the fan and the heat sink itself

00:08:30.080 --> 00:08:36.279
which acts to help reduce the dead zone which is the area in the middle of the

00:08:33.760 --> 00:08:42.000
fan where there's obviously no air flow as well as um reducing the vibration

00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:46.880
that can be transferred from the fan to the heat sink to the motherboard to your

00:08:43.880 --> 00:08:46.880
case
