00:00:05,879 --> 00:00:11,840
Corsair Raptor K40 keyboard and M45 Mouse are designed to provide

00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:16,640
best-in-class features and performance for gaming click now to learn more when

3
00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:20,760
it comes to CPU liquid coolers it's not exactly rocket surgery it's mostly a

4
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:24,800
function of how good are the fans and how much surface area can you throw at

5
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:29,080
it I mean there can be other factors for example with Corsair's h100i there's

6
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:33,600
excellent software integration with their Corsair links software for things

7
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:38,320
like monitoring liquid temperature uh monitoring fan RPM CPU temperature fan

8
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:42,680
control all that kind of cool stuff but those things tend to add cost to the

9
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:48,440
unit and tend not to necessarily contribute to Raw performance the h105

10
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:53,000
goes to the h110 school of product design which is a little bit more

11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:58,879
barebones in terms of extra stuff but definitely targeting performance so

12
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:01,920
unlike the h100i the h105 features a

13
00:00:58,879 --> 00:01:04,000
thicker radiator and unlike the h110

14
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:11,320
which features a thin radiator but with 140 millimeter fans the h105

15
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:13,560
features 120 mm fans on its red so it

16
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:17,280
should sit somewhere in between those two in terms of performance but if I had

17
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:21,960
to Hazard to guess I would say particularly at lower RPMs it's probably

18
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:26,799
going to be closer to the h110 because of the design of the

19
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:30,640
radiator with a little bit uh lower fin density than I'm used to seeing with

20
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:36,640
these all-in-one units which I think is actually probably a good thing because

21
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:39,079
as soon as you throw dual 120 mm fans at

22
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:42,439
cooling a single CPU even if it's quite a powerful one unless you're talking

23
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:47,040
about extreme overclocking it's pretty much enough so you might as well go

24
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:51,719
after silence and speaking of Silence the two included fans are pwm so this is

25
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:57,439
a bit of a nice touch here and they can operate from anywhere from 800 RPM to

26
00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:00,079
2700 RPM so 800 RPM is going to be very

27
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:05,399
very quiet on a 38 mm thick radiator like this one that's compared to 25 mm

28
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,800
which is more the more typical thin thin radiator setup like what you'll find on

29
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:12,120
an h100i and then all the way up to 2700

30
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:16,040
RPM which for me would be uncomfortably loud and I probably wouldn't recommend

31
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:21,680
that so much now the included fans aside from being pwm and being good in that

32
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:25,120
way are pretty basic these are sp120 L

33
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,440
fans unlike the regular sp1 120s which

34
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:30,480
are available in a quiet Edition and performance Edition the meain the main

35
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:34,760
differen is there being that the sp1 120s have swappable color rings as well

36
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,560
as rubber isolating grommets in the corners and just generally feel a little

37
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:42,159
bit nicer overall in terms of build quality now if you did decide that you

38
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,239
weren't going to use the L Series fans and you were going to upgrade to SPS

39
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:49,879
there's another little cool thing so Corsair has changed the design of the

40
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:53,360
block and pump combo unit here they've add they've changed the ID and they've

41
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,959
added a little swappable ring so it comes with the same colors as you can

42
00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:01,159
get in af and SP series fans you got blue and red but unfortunately not white

43
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:06,120
so there's a gray one on there by default they've also updated the mounting hardware Just a Touch so it

44
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:09,720
comes with the Intel hold down pre-installed now it comes with a

45
00:03:07,959 --> 00:03:13,840
slightly updated back plate this is an acitech design so it's um not really

46
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,440
something we've never seen before but the little pieces are a little bit

47
00:03:15,239 --> 00:03:22,280
easier to slide so whether you're mounting on LGA 115x 1366 or 2011 you're

48
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:26,000
going to be able to get it in the right position quite easily although remember

49
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,799
guys 2011 does have its own back plate built onto the motherboard just like AMD

50
00:03:27,799 --> 00:03:34,239
sockets so same thing for the AMD Hardware you're just going to get a hold

51
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:38,840
down which can be swapped by just undoing these four little Clips right

52
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:43,360
here popping off the bottom ring just like that pulling off the retention or

53
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:47,480
pulling off the hold down and then swapping on the appropriate AMD one so

54
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:50,840
you can do that relatively easily and then it'll just screw directly into the

55
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:56,400
back plate that is built into your motherboard giving you compatibility for

56
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,799
FM sockets as well as am sockets the

57
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,560
last thing they've updated in terms of the ID is they have changed the thumb a

58
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:06,920
little bit and then other than that I think that's pretty much it for accessories you also get a pwm y cable

59
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:11,840
so this will allow you to plug both of the fans into your CPU fan header so you

60
00:04:10,079 --> 00:04:15,560
can actually control both of them with pwm using a single fan header so that's

61
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:20,799
actually really handy that's from what I've seen the best way to do pwm control

62
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:24,960
because the CPU fan header tends to be the least broken of all the pwm

63
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:29,160
implementations on a on a given motherboard or in a given system it uses

64
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,440
quarter inch tubing but I'm not really convinced that that's going to be a

65
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:36,520
problem for it because these all-in-one liquid coolers don't tend to to have

66
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:40,440
extremely high flow rates to the point where 38 or even halfin tubing would

67
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:45,440
make much of a difference and other than that it's going to come down to the

68
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:49,199
radiator right here so 38 mm thick as I mentioned before a little bit lower fin

69
00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:53,880
density than we've necessarily seen in the past and uh and the and well the

70
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:58,280
thickness well okay I've talked a lot about the thickness it's because that's the main difference here it's going to

71
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:02,080
affect performance and it's also going to affect compatibility so you're going

72
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:06,840
to want to make sure that if you plan to install the h105 in your case you have

73
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:11,440
enough clearance not only for a 25mm thick fan but also a 38 mm thick

74
00:05:10,039 --> 00:05:16,320
radiator it comes with all the mounting hardware that you'll need to mount the fans on either side mount the radiator

75
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,360
directly to the case and then the fans to that or Mount the radiator through

76
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,680
the fan to the case from the top or whatever else you need to do you just

77
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,120
need to make sure you have enough room which leads us to Performance off to luk

78
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:32,759
for that all right so to start us off there's been a test bench change now we

79
00:05:29,919 --> 00:05:38,120
are running an x79 deluxe from ASUS and a 4820k from Intel this was because in

80
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:42,199
the previous setup I was noticing some pretty major inconsistencies when trying

81
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:46,120
to test the h105 from Corsair and it wasn't testing the same every run and it

82
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:49,840
was kind of all over the place with massive Deltas so I thought there might

83
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:56,560
be something wrong swapped out hardware and now we're getting much more consistent numbers this was isolated to

84
00:05:54,039 --> 00:05:59,240
just this test um so it must have been recently and I don't think it's going to

85
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:03,120
affect other videos that we've recorded so don't worry about that as for

86
00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:07,759
installing it it was much better than h110 which has the kind of older

87
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:12,440
installation setup but it wasn't quite as good as an h100i which has the super

88
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:16,240
nice Magnetic Locking plates and all that kind of stuff that Corsair's put on

89
00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:21,400
it but it was definitely in the higher Echelon of uh installation processes for

90
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,880
coolers that I have used and it performed pretty much exactly where we

91
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:30,120
expected it performed in between an h100i and an h110 now what I want in the

92
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:36,319
future as all of those things are fairly self-explanatory and you guys probably heard that from lonus previously because

93
00:06:33,479 --> 00:06:39,360
he expected it and it was true um what what I want to see in the future is I

94
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:46,479
want them all to come together I want like essentially an

95
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:48,080
h15 i or an H awesome I or something I

96
00:06:46,479 --> 00:06:52,840
don't really know but I want them all to come together I want the the size of the

97
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:56,720
h110 I want the thickness of the h105 and I want the Advanced Technologies and

98
00:06:54,479 --> 00:07:00,879
connectivity and mounting system of an h100i what do you guys want what what do

99
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:04,800
you looking for in a cooler are you even looking for an AIO or are you more
