00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:09,760
now as a rugged Man I don't often find time for quietly reflecting on my

2
00:00:07,439 --> 00:00:14,639
feelings but when I do there's one burden that weighs on me Mighty heavily

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:20,119
a Dark Passenger I've never shared with any man that the poor CPU in my gaming

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:25,800
PC is cooled by the pathetic heat sink that came in its box it weren't that I

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,880
didn't want better for it's just well

6
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:33,920
it's like that time I drove for days cuz it seemed better than asking for dire CS

7
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:38,399
I just didn't know how to pick one but thanks to the internet now I can

8
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:42,360
know enough about any subject to make video guides without ever admitting I

9
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:48,520
had no pre-existing knowledge on the subject and that's how this one came to

10
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:51,160
be I started by learning about so-called

11
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:57,480
compatibility my case can handle a 4 and 3/4 in radiator that's 120 mm if you're

12
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:03,320
some kind of or Canadian but as a rugged Man I believe bigger is better so

13
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:10,040
after Consulting my manual I eventually chose a 240 mm radiator the largest I

14
00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:14,799
could fit in the top of my case When selecting a tool to remove the Unholy

15
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:21,680
Abomination that I knew was currently possessing my PC thankfully Mercy stayed

16
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:24,720
my hand a true rugged Man knows use the

17
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,560
right tool for the job I unscrewed one

18
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:30,600
corner and then the opposite one and then the other two in Rapid succession

19
00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:35,360
before tearing that sucker off to see my processor looking at me with a mixture

20
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:37,600
of fatigue and relief across its heat

21
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,960
spreader for the next step I gathered the parts side need out of the cooler

22
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:46,119
box two cooling fans and the Mountain Hardware from my socket that I H well I

23
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:50,119
wish I'd looked at that before confidently chucking the manual in the

24
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:54,360
trash which led me to the most important fork in the road of my life I'd ever

25
00:01:52,200 --> 00:02:00,719
encountered a burning in question that needed answering before I could go any

26
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:03,159
further push or pull thankfully I found

27
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:07,200
this great video on the subject this guy is anything but rugged but he suggested

28
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:11,280
having my fans pull air through the radiator and out of the case for a good

29
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:16,080
balance of overall system Cooling and ease of cleaning something I can

30
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:19,800
certainly appreciate I ran the long screws through the top of the case and

31
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,640
the four corners of the fans like a spit through a pig then after some fiddling

32
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:27,560
about got the first one threaded and from there it got much easier to mount

33
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:31,920
the radiator then I screwed the hold down plate to the CPU block attached my

34
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:36,519
Hardware to the motherboard put on some thermal goop and tighten the hold down

35
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:40,440
screws in a cross pattern before pluging power leads from a fans and pump either

36
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:44,760
directly into the board for automatic control or into the power supply if I

37
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:51,080
don't mind them running at full manly speed all the time with my work complete

38
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:56,519
I contemplated the sacrifices I'd made cuz while frankly the Practical benefits

39
00:02:53,879 --> 00:03:01,120
of CPU liquid cooling with longer life and marginally better overclock and

40
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,599
being among them are debatable at best

41
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:06,360
what it was really about for me was knowing my Battlefield rig weren't

42
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:10,680
relying on the equivalent of the gentle beaten of pixie wings to keep her

43
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:15,040
