1
00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:13,719
now this is an unboxing of something that I'm very excited about I haven't

2
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:18,520
bought myself any cool new toys that are this cool in quite a while so I'm going

3
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:21,800
to be doing a small upgrade on my machine I'm not going to be changing my

4
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:27,320
graphics card I'm sticking with my GTX 480 I'm actually going to be downgrading

5
00:00:23,599 --> 00:00:31,000
my RAM cuz right now I have 24 gigs um

6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,719
on an MSI Big Bang X power with a oh M I

7
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:38,239
can't even remember core i7 980x and U so I'm going to be taking out

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:44,399
two dims and going with a quad Channel 16 gig setup with a new 2011 processor

9
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:49,039
and so I figured hey if I'm going to go 2011 maybe it's time to upgrade the old

10
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:55,000
water block oh swifttech released the coolest water block ever so today I will

11
00:00:51,879 --> 00:00:58,719
be unboxing the swifttech apple G HD

12
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:02,039
limited edition 24K goldplated water

13
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:04,320
block these are individually numbered

14
00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:09,200
and very limited addition they only produced a few hundred of them that's

15
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:11,159
apparently my number so let's go ahead

16
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:15,720
and get this baby opened up so here's the CPU it's going to be working on so

17
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:22,799
it comes with first and foremost an installation guide which is by the

18
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:25,600
appearances okay in color sort of certain parts are in color so they show

19
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:33,520
you how to put the thing on the thing and line it up with the other thing and put the goop on the other thing okay

20
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:37,000
next we've got a back plate of some sort

21
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:39,799
so this might be 2011 it might be 1366

22
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:43,000
not 100% sure what it is um oh yeah mounting hardware that's included here

23
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:52,280
this is a good way to know for sure so it includes uh 1155 and 56 1366 and 2011

24
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:55,520
you can request free upon demand uh

25
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:57,439
775 and AMD hold down plate and hardware

26
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:02,159
for any of their given sockets so there you go so it only includes uh of the

27
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:09,399
more modern Intel sockets okay here we've got the uh just

28
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:12,000
general General oh no this is the 2011

29
00:02:09,399 --> 00:02:16,599
kit okay so cool so what's in here so we've got uh four big thumb hold down

30
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:22,360
screws I'm going to put these on here so you guys can see them a little bit better swifttech does such a good job of

31
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:27,280
their mounting hardware they're true Pioneers when it comes to mounting

32
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:32,120
hardware and um hold on I'm just going to make sure I

33
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:35,680
don't lose these uh these washers so there's a couple washers here to hold

34
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:40,239
them in place and I really hope I haven't lost one although it would

35
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,920
appear that I may have whatever I'll

36
00:02:40,239 --> 00:02:46,159
find it I'll find it oh there it is okay good okay so I got four of those I got

37
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:49,319
four of those really sharp just nice big thumb screws and then there there's

38
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,400
Phillips heads on the inside if you do want to do that these Springs so this is

39
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:57,400
one of the things that swifttech is so good at they designed their mounting

40
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:02,239
hardware to apply the exact right amount of pressure no more no less and there

41
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:04,760
were one of the first ones to well not really one of the first ones but they're

42
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:09,560
one of the only ones in the water cooling space that really pay attention

43
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:15,239
to the actual spec for a given socket and then adhere to it and then uh we've

44
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:18,799
got a couple of uh clamps so those are your Worm Drive clamps for your for your

45
00:03:17,239 --> 00:03:21,480
Barb so you want to you know go ahead use a slot screwdriver to tighten those

46
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,519
up I don't like these I prefer compression fittings uh these are the

47
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,959
compressions I'll be using with this block we got some included thermal goop

48
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:34,480
some pk1 really they're using they're bundling PR Tech thermal goop

49
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:38,280
fascinating pk1 as far as my understanding goes is basically pretty

50
00:03:36,519 --> 00:03:43,799
much the same thing as mx1 although I could be wrong about that um either way

51
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:49,319
I've heard that pk1 is very good I mean if they're going to compare it to mx1

52
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:51,760
then yeah it's pretty good anyway so um

53
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:56,480
here we go uh socket 2011 installation kit how to use so you take off these you

54
00:03:54,319 --> 00:04:03,040
put on those you follow the instructions and nobody gets hurt okay

55
00:03:59,879 --> 00:04:05,079
now let's get to the water block itself

56
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:09,200
which hold on needs some unveiling here we need like drum

57
00:04:07,079 --> 00:04:15,199
roll yes that's right dead sexy goldplated

58
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:21,239
water block that I saw and simply had to have

59
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:25,919
there's a limited edition with the engraved number on

60
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:32,120
it so like I said they only did a few hundred of these so um I and one of my

61
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:34,560
co-workers actually bought uh two of the

62
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:38,320
first three that NCIX has sold one guy pre-ordered it so he got one right away

63
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:43,160
and then uh when they arrived in the warehouse this afternoon uh I I ordered

64
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:48,360
one up and I went down and uh I grabbed one cuz yeah these are like for sure the

65
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:52,639
shizel so uh in terms of mounting options the uh Apple ghd actually has a

66
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:57,080
couple of different choices so you can either use these guys as the inlet in

67
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,840
the outlet or you can use these ones as the inlet in the outlet I'll be using

68
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:04,360
these two since I'll be using compression fittings here I'm just going to take uh one of my compression

69
00:05:02,919 --> 00:05:08,759
fittings out and I'll show you guys I'll do a quick test fit here show you guys

70
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:13,800
what it's going to look like with a big goldplated compression fitting so these

71
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:19,039
are bits power unfortunately swifttech includes um goldplated Barb fittings I'm

72
00:05:16,479 --> 00:05:23,840
not much of a Barb fitting guy I really do prefer compressions so I'm uh going

73
00:05:22,039 --> 00:05:26,960
to go ahead and replace these and wow those are on pretty tight so you know

74
00:05:25,039 --> 00:05:31,039
what I'll be back in a sec sorry guys so here's a trick that I use whenever I

75
00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:37,080
have a delic delicate equipment is I'll take whatever tools I have and I'll put

76
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:41,199
a cloth between them and uh what I'm

77
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:42,680
applying them to so here's the Barb

78
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:48,000
coming out of the block you can actually here you can have a look at the socket there so you can see the gold plating

79
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:51,600
goes all the way into the block itself and you can actually see the innards of

80
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:58,280
the Apple ghd so this is Swift Tech's latest Generation Um highest performance to

81
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:03,639
date water block so let's go ahead and see how closely these gold platings

82
00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:10,440
match um the bits power one's a little bit more yellow but it should still look

83
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:15,759
pretty tbling when I go

84
00:06:12,599 --> 00:06:19,960
ahead and throw that on

85
00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:21,840
there there we go so that should give

86
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:27,080
you guys some idea how this is going to look once it's got a couple of

87
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:31,080
compressions on it so I wouldn't I'd be remiss if I didn't uh give you sort of

88
00:06:30,039 --> 00:06:35,840
the obligatory reflecting shot to show you

89
00:06:34,479 --> 00:06:42,080
what a mirror it is here you can see my cat in it hey

90
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:44,440
Rumble come here see can you see the cat

91
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:49,840
look at that that's a water block yeah that's right okay so yeah there you guys

92
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:54,080
here I'm actually just going to fingerprints when you buy something for

93
00:06:51,919 --> 00:06:58,240
the whole like and the whole point is that it's like super beautiful last

94
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:02,080
thing you want to do is cover it in ugly fingerprints and get Scrat on it so you

95
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:07,879
can see the gold plating goes here and the copper base starts here and uh then

96
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:13,919
there's the hold down which can be replaced so that's uh black um what I

97
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:17,680
imagine someone will probably do is they'll buy this Block they'll strip the

98
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:25,240
paint off the hold down and they'll get it goldplated too so the whole thing will just like look like ah shiny and

99
00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:27,840
gold and ridiculous but

100
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:31,879
um I think we're pretty much done here thank you for checking out my unboxing

101
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:35,720
and first look at the Apple ghd so as I said before this is Swift Tech's new

102
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:39,599
flagship block this is a goldplated version of it so this is about as high

103
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:43,840
performing and about as low flow because that's really what they've been focusing

104
00:07:41,039 --> 00:07:47,960
on uh achieving since way back in the storm days uh when uh when impingement

105
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:52,879
blocks were cool and then after that they went to the appoi so the pin Matrix

106
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:56,960
uh high flow low restrictions type design so we've got

107
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:03,639
uh yeah whatever I'm not going to say much more about it cool block looks

108
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:07,960
amazing I am very much looking forward to getting it

109
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,840
cooling this CPU which will go here and

110
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:15,080
will be cooled and it will be awesome and it will be gold and yeah and don't

111
00:08:13,599 --> 00:08:19,479
forget to subscribe to L techtips for more unboxings reviews and other

112
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:23,360
computer videos so my assistant here is giving me a hard time as some of you may

113
00:08:21,039 --> 00:08:27,520
or may not know I use blue tubing in my system and the comment was oh that's not

114
00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:32,120
going to look good with blue tubing and I said well are you sure because

115
00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:36,599
personally I think it's going to look great with blue tubing so I'll let you

116
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:40,719
guys be the judge does it look good with blue tubing you tell me
