1
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:15,160
and first look at the Corsair h90 it's part of their Hydro series it comes with

2
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:19,000
a 5-year warranty it comes with a silver box which is something that we're not

3
00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:23,000
used to seeing with Corsair's liquid coolers in fact this was quite

4
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:27,519
surprising to me it seems like a stupid thing to fixate on but hey when you

5
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:31,199
unbox things for a living then you have to find things that are interesting

6
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,079
about boxes so Corsair's packaging generally has been black packaging but

7
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:39,000
we're not going to worry about that too much let's focus on what's interesting

8
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:42,000
about the h90 number one is stop do not return this product to the store contact

9
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:45,280
Corsair give them a chance to help you out that's very important because their

10
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:50,800
customer service is pretty much legendary at this point oh what's this

11
00:00:48,039 --> 00:01:01,280
that is a 140 mm fan so unlike the previous generation h40 H50 h55 h60 h70

12
00:00:55,719 --> 00:01:04,320
and h80 the h90 uses a n h 90 a 90 mm

13
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:06,119
fan for Extreme Performance a 140 mm fan

14
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:12,360
now it uses a different design than Corsair's recently released h00 I and

15
00:01:08,759 --> 00:01:14,400
h80i it has thinner blades but the

16
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:18,920
largess of it should make up for any kind of performance deficiencies from

17
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:23,079
not using their SP pressure optimized fan design but I mean we'll see once we

18
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:31,360
uh once we get this thing installed and test it out also inside we find aha the

19
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:33,520
h90 cooler itself so in terms of case

20
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:38,840
compatibility you do have to be a little bit more careful with a 140 mm radiator

21
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:42,720
than you do with a 120 mil because even though a case is compatible with a 120

22
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:46,640
mil at the back it won't necessarily work with a 140 at the back however

23
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:51,159
corser gives you enough length on the quarter inch uh

24
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:54,119
non-evaporative very flexible tubing that you should be able to even do

25
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:59,240
things like mounted in the top of the case and then run it back over towards

26
00:01:56,759 --> 00:02:04,360
your CPU socket for example that will give you more options in terms of

27
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:06,240
installation than you'd have with uh a

28
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:10,400
limitation of just installing it at the back although it might not make for the

29
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:14,920
same aesthetic so I would op I would definitely opt for a case with a 140 mil

30
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:19,720
fan at the back and enough room for the tank at the top and the tank at the

31
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:22,560
bottom in terms of clearance uh we find

32
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:27,120
unlike the recently released h80i and h100i the h90 does not feature Corsair

33
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:31,920
link and it doesn't have lighting effects on the CPU block itself so it's

34
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:35,760
more of simple cooler it also goes with as I mentioned before 1/4 in tubing

35
00:02:33,879 --> 00:02:40,480
versus the 38 inch tubing on those other coolers but the additional surface area

36
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:44,760
should give it some pretty interesting performance which we're very excited to

37
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:50,080
uh to check out the bottom of the CPU block is looks like something pretty

38
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:53,040
familiar so we've got that ring locking

39
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:58,840
mechanism for mounting the block itself which allows you to take here we go one

40
00:02:55,640 --> 00:03:01,959
of these Rings whether it's fm1 fm2 am2

41
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,480
am3 am 2 plus whatever you want any AMD

42
00:03:01,959 --> 00:03:10,400
socket from the last sort of couple Generations any Intel socket 775 1155

43
00:03:06,799 --> 00:03:12,720
1366 2011 and put the compatible hold

44
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:16,599
down plate on top secured into place then use this retention ring which is so

45
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:20,640
much better than the older systems that use the retention ring to lock the whole

46
00:03:18,519 --> 00:03:24,280
thing into place so you don't have to kind of have four different hands

47
00:03:22,519 --> 00:03:27,640
working on it in order to actually get one of these coolers installed it's

48
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:32,879
quite simple now and comes with all the hardware you need as well as detailed

49
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:37,560
instructions there they are from Corsair that include little pictures and all

50
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:43,280
kinds of good stuff just like that for all the different

51
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:46,360
platforms so in summary the h90 no

52
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:49,159
Corsair link but massive surface area

53
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:55,439
which should make it somewhere between a single 120 mm thin radiator cooler and

54
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:59,439
something between sort of that and a dual 120 mm cooler probably somewhere in

55
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,599
the middle thanks for checking out this unbox boxing don't forget to subscribe
