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

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

00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:23.000
used to seeing with Corsair's liquid coolers in fact this was quite

00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:27.519
surprising to me it seems like a stupid thing to fixate on but hey when you

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:31.199
unbox things for a living then you have to find things that are interesting

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:34.079
about boxes so Corsair's packaging generally has been black packaging but

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

00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:42.000
about the h90 number one is stop do not return this product to the store contact

00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:45.280
Corsair give them a chance to help you out that's very important because their

00:00:43.480 --> 00:00:50.800
customer service is pretty much legendary at this point oh what's this

00:00:48.039 --> 00:01:01.280
that is a 140 mm fan so unlike the previous generation h40 H50 h55 h60 h70

00:00:55.719 --> 00:01:04.320
and h80 the h90 uses a n h 90 a 90 mm

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:06.119
fan for Extreme Performance a 140 mm fan

00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:12.360
now it uses a different design than Corsair's recently released h00 I and

00:01:08.759 --> 00:01:14.400
h80i it has thinner blades but the

00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:18.920
largess of it should make up for any kind of performance deficiencies from

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:23.079
not using their SP pressure optimized fan design but I mean we'll see once we

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

00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:33.520
h90 cooler itself so in terms of case

00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:38.840
compatibility you do have to be a little bit more careful with a 140 mm radiator

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

00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:46.640
mil at the back it won't necessarily work with a 140 at the back however

00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:51.159
corser gives you enough length on the quarter inch uh

00:01:48.600 --> 00:01:54.119
non-evaporative very flexible tubing that you should be able to even do

00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:59.240
things like mounted in the top of the case and then run it back over towards

00:01:56.759 --> 00:02:04.360
your CPU socket for example that will give you more options in terms of

00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:06.240
installation than you'd have with uh a

00:02:04.360 --> 00:02:10.400
limitation of just installing it at the back although it might not make for the

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

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

00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:22.560
bottom in terms of clearance uh we find

00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:27.120
unlike the recently released h80i and h100i the h90 does not feature Corsair

00:02:25.640 --> 00:02:31.920
link and it doesn't have lighting effects on the CPU block itself so it's

00:02:29.480 --> 00:02:35.760
more of simple cooler it also goes with as I mentioned before 1/4 in tubing

00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:40.480
versus the 38 inch tubing on those other coolers but the additional surface area

00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:44.760
should give it some pretty interesting performance which we're very excited to

00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:50.080
uh to check out the bottom of the CPU block is looks like something pretty

00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:53.040
familiar so we've got that ring locking

00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:58.840
mechanism for mounting the block itself which allows you to take here we go one

00:02:55.640 --> 00:03:01.959
of these Rings whether it's fm1 fm2 am2

00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:03.480
am3 am 2 plus whatever you want any AMD

00:03:01.959 --> 00:03:10.400
socket from the last sort of couple Generations any Intel socket 775 1155

00:03:06.799 --> 00:03:12.720
1366 2011 and put the compatible hold

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:16.599
down plate on top secured into place then use this retention ring which is so

00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:20.640
much better than the older systems that use the retention ring to lock the whole

00:03:18.519 --> 00:03:24.280
thing into place so you don't have to kind of have four different hands

00:03:22.519 --> 00:03:27.640
working on it in order to actually get one of these coolers installed it's

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:32.879
quite simple now and comes with all the hardware you need as well as detailed

00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:37.560
instructions there they are from Corsair that include little pictures and all

00:03:34.760 --> 00:03:43.280
kinds of good stuff just like that for all the different

00:03:39.640 --> 00:03:46.360
platforms so in summary the h90 no

00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:49.159
Corsair link but massive surface area

00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:55.439
which should make it somewhere between a single 120 mm thin radiator cooler and

00:03:53.040 --> 00:03:59.439
something between sort of that and a dual 120 mm cooler probably somewhere in

00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:02.599
the middle thanks for checking out this unbox boxing don't forget to subscribe
