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

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

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

00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:22.119
running to a CPU block and pump Allin

00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:27.119
one sort of unit now this is meant to be sort of a lowcost liquid cooling

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:31.800
Solution that's meant to compete with the high-end air coolers and all the

00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:36.559
while maintaining the ease of installation and the uh the the case

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

00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:43.680
is actually one of their power supply boxes now that I look at it it looks

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

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

00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:55.160
so you take off your first plastic cover take off yet another plastic cover wow

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

00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:03.519
it this is the CPU block and and pump

00:01:00.440 --> 00:01:05.920
unit itself here so let's get this uh

00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:10.159
let's get this protective packaging off so what this

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:14.080
prevents is it prevents the little plastic cover which has the thermal

00:01:12.119 --> 00:01:18.640
compound from coming off so you can see here that's where the actual surface of

00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:23.280
the CPU block is and then this housing here actually contains the pump which

00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:28.640
circulates the fluid into the radiator so we can cover that back up here is our

00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:33.960
quick start guide so the quick start guide shows you the basics of uh how to

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:38.159
install the radiator how to install the retention ring in the back plate and

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:44.280
yeah basically gets you started pretty quickly so what's next here is that in

00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:50.399
other more different languages so we're not really interested in that okay so

00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:53.960
here's our LGA 775 back plate here's our

00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:56.880
LGA 775 I think uh hold down or that

00:01:53.960 --> 00:02:03.000
might be 1366 anyway okay it includes a 1366 and a 775 retention ring and back

00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:06.759
plate and then I believe that soon they're going to be shipping with an

00:02:04.119 --> 00:02:10.920
1156 retention ring and back plate as well so here's the four screws for

00:02:09.119 --> 00:02:14.680
installing your radiator so why don't we actually pull out the uh the fan and

00:02:12.920 --> 00:02:19.640
radiator here for a minute so you can see there's a nice uh paper protective

00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:23.840
sleeve on the radiator that prevents these fragile fins from getting damaged

00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:26.720
in transit so you want to be very careful when you're handling the

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

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:34.760
impact performance but what can happen is you can create more turbulence when

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

00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:42.360
nice sleeved power connector here this can actually plug into a fan header on

00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:49.800
your motherboard which is really convenient to see and then here is our 4

00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:52.519
pin pwm fan so the way Corsair

00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:56.480
recommends installing it is to actually put the fan installed backwards in the

00:02:55.080 --> 00:03:01.920
back of your case so you're drawing fresh air from the outside of the case

00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:04.239
attach the radiator either this way or

00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:09.840
upside down the other way and then you can run the CPU Cooler

00:03:08.040 --> 00:03:14.680
over to your CPU and use the back plate for installation now you use these black

00:03:12.519 --> 00:03:18.879
screws they go through the case through the fan and then right into the threaded

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:25.720
holes here on the radiator so thank you for checking out my blog video on the
