00:00:02.800 --> 00:00:09.760
now as a rugged Man I don't often find time for quietly reflecting on my

00:00:07.439 --> 00:00:14.639
feelings but when I do there's one burden that weighs on me Mighty heavily

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

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

00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:27.880
didn't want better for it's just well

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

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

00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:42.360
know enough about any subject to make video guides without ever admitting I

00:00:40.360 --> 00:00:48.520
had no pre-existing knowledge on the subject and that's how this one came to

00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:51.160
be I started by learning about so-called

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

00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:03.320
some kind of or Canadian but as a rugged Man I believe bigger is better so

00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:10.040
after Consulting my manual I eventually chose a 240 mm radiator the largest I

00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:14.799
could fit in the top of my case When selecting a tool to remove the Unholy

00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:21.680
Abomination that I knew was currently possessing my PC thankfully Mercy stayed

00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:24.720
my hand a true rugged Man knows use the

00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:26.560
right tool for the job I unscrewed one

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:30.600
corner and then the opposite one and then the other two in Rapid succession

00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:35.360
before tearing that sucker off to see my processor looking at me with a mixture

00:01:32.360 --> 00:01:37.600
of fatigue and relief across its heat

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:40.960
spreader for the next step I gathered the parts side need out of the cooler

00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:46.119
box two cooling fans and the Mountain Hardware from my socket that I H well I

00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:50.119
wish I'd looked at that before confidently chucking the manual in the

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

00:01:52.200 --> 00:02:00.719
encountered a burning in question that needed answering before I could go any

00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:03.159
further push or pull thankfully I found

00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:07.200
this great video on the subject this guy is anything but rugged but he suggested

00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:11.280
having my fans pull air through the radiator and out of the case for a good

00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:16.080
balance of overall system Cooling and ease of cleaning something I can

00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:19.800
certainly appreciate I ran the long screws through the top of the case and

00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:23.640
the four corners of the fans like a spit through a pig then after some fiddling

00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:27.560
about got the first one threaded and from there it got much easier to mount

00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:31.920
the radiator then I screwed the hold down plate to the CPU block attached my

00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:36.519
Hardware to the motherboard put on some thermal goop and tighten the hold down

00:02:34.200 --> 00:02:40.440
screws in a cross pattern before pluging power leads from a fans and pump either

00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:44.760
directly into the board for automatic control or into the power supply if I

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:51.080
don't mind them running at full manly speed all the time with my work complete

00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:56.519
I contemplated the sacrifices I'd made cuz while frankly the Practical benefits

00:02:53.879 --> 00:03:01.120
of CPU liquid cooling with longer life and marginally better overclock and

00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:02.599
being among them are debatable at best

00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:06.360
what it was really about for me was knowing my Battlefield rig weren't

00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:10.680
relying on the equivalent of the gentle beaten of pixie wings to keep her

00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:15.040
