1
00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:08,360
so today we've got the Corsair Hydro series CPU Cooler so this is the H50 so

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:12,719
basically what you've got here actually let's have a look at the picture on the

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:19,640
front you've got a 120 mm radiator with a fan and then a couple of4 in tubes

4
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:22,119
running to a CPU block and pump Allin

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:27,119
one sort of unit now this is meant to be sort of a lowcost liquid cooling

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:31,800
Solution that's meant to compete with the high-end air coolers and all the

7
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:36,559
while maintaining the ease of installation and the uh the the case

8
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:40,320
compatibility of a high-end air cooler so if we can figure out oh I think this

9
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:43,680
is actually one of their power supply boxes now that I look at it it looks

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:47,399
like they've they've redone the artwork on a power supply box so that's kind of

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:51,760
clever um okay so let's we've got the unit open here let's uh get going here

12
00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:55,160
so you take off your first plastic cover take off yet another plastic cover wow

13
00:00:53,800 --> 00:01:00,440
I'm totally not going to remember how this goes back in okay so here we have

14
00:00:57,359 --> 00:01:03,519
it this is the CPU block and and pump

15
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,920
unit itself here so let's get this uh

16
00:01:03,519 --> 00:01:10,159
let's get this protective packaging off so what this

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,080
prevents is it prevents the little plastic cover which has the thermal

18
00:01:12,119 --> 00:01:18,640
compound from coming off so you can see here that's where the actual surface of

19
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:23,280
the CPU block is and then this housing here actually contains the pump which

20
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:28,640
circulates the fluid into the radiator so we can cover that back up here is our

21
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:33,960
quick start guide so the quick start guide shows you the basics of uh how to

22
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:38,159
install the radiator how to install the retention ring in the back plate and

23
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:44,280
yeah basically gets you started pretty quickly so what's next here is that in

24
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:50,399
other more different languages so we're not really interested in that okay so

25
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:53,960
here's our LGA 775 back plate here's our

26
00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:56,880
LGA 775 I think uh hold down or that

27
00:01:53,960 --> 00:02:03,000
might be 1366 anyway okay it includes a 1366 and a 775 retention ring and back

28
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:06,759
plate and then I believe that soon they're going to be shipping with an

29
00:02:04,119 --> 00:02:10,920
1156 retention ring and back plate as well so here's the four screws for

30
00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:14,680
installing your radiator so why don't we actually pull out the uh the fan and

31
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:19,640
radiator here for a minute so you can see there's a nice uh paper protective

32
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:23,840
sleeve on the radiator that prevents these fragile fins from getting damaged

33
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:26,720
in transit so you want to be very careful when you're handling the

34
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:31,280
radiator cuz you don't want to bend these if you bend them you may not even

35
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,760
impact performance but what can happen is you can create more turbulence when

36
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:38,560
the Fan's blowing air through and it can make it a little bit louder so you got a

37
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:42,360
nice sleeved power connector here this can actually plug into a fan header on

38
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:49,800
your motherboard which is really convenient to see and then here is our 4

39
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:52,519
pin pwm fan so the way Corsair

40
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:56,480
recommends installing it is to actually put the fan installed backwards in the

41
00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:01,920
back of your case so you're drawing fresh air from the outside of the case

42
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:04,239
attach the radiator either this way or

43
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:09,840
upside down the other way and then you can run the CPU Cooler

44
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:14,680
over to your CPU and use the back plate for installation now you use these black

45
00:03:12,519 --> 00:03:18,879
screws they go through the case through the fan and then right into the threaded

46
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:25,720
holes here on the radiator so thank you for checking out my blog video on the
