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

00:00:14.639 --> 00:00:20.760
it comes to CPU liquid coolers it's not exactly rocket surgery it's mostly a

00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:24.800
function of how good are the fans and how much surface area can you throw at

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:29.080
it I mean there can be other factors for example with Corsair's h100i there's

00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:33.600
excellent software integration with their Corsair links software for things

00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:38.320
like monitoring liquid temperature uh monitoring fan RPM CPU temperature fan

00:00:36.239 --> 00:00:42.680
control all that kind of cool stuff but those things tend to add cost to the

00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:48.440
unit and tend not to necessarily contribute to Raw performance the h105

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:53.000
goes to the h110 school of product design which is a little bit more

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:58.879
barebones in terms of extra stuff but definitely targeting performance so

00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:01.920
unlike the h100i the h105 features a

00:00:58.879 --> 00:01:04.000
thicker radiator and unlike the h110

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:11.320
which features a thin radiator but with 140 millimeter fans the h105

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:13.560
features 120 mm fans on its red so it

00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:17.280
should sit somewhere in between those two in terms of performance but if I had

00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:21.960
to Hazard to guess I would say particularly at lower RPMs it's probably

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:26.799
going to be closer to the h110 because of the design of the

00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:30.640
radiator with a little bit uh lower fin density than I'm used to seeing with

00:01:28.520 --> 00:01:36.640
these all-in-one units which I think is actually probably a good thing because

00:01:33.320 --> 00:01:39.079
as soon as you throw dual 120 mm fans at

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:42.439
cooling a single CPU even if it's quite a powerful one unless you're talking

00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:47.040
about extreme overclocking it's pretty much enough so you might as well go

00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:51.719
after silence and speaking of Silence the two included fans are pwm so this is

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

00:01:54.320 --> 00:02:00.079
2700 RPM so 800 RPM is going to be very

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

00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:07.800
which is more the more typical thin thin radiator setup like what you'll find on

00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:12.120
an h100i and then all the way up to 2700

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:16.040
RPM which for me would be uncomfortably loud and I probably wouldn't recommend

00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:21.680
that so much now the included fans aside from being pwm and being good in that

00:02:18.040 --> 00:02:25.120
way are pretty basic these are sp120 L

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:26.440
fans unlike the regular sp1 120s which

00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.480
are available in a quiet Edition and performance Edition the meain the main

00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:34.760
differen is there being that the sp1 120s have swappable color rings as well

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:38.560
as rubber isolating grommets in the corners and just generally feel a little

00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:42.159
bit nicer overall in terms of build quality now if you did decide that you

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

00:02:43.480 --> 00:02:49.879
there's another little cool thing so Corsair has changed the design of the

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

00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:56.959
added a little swappable ring so it comes with the same colors as you can

00:02:54.840 --> 00:03:01.159
get in af and SP series fans you got blue and red but unfortunately not white

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

00:03:04.239 --> 00:03:09.720
comes with the Intel hold down pre-installed now it comes with a

00:03:07.959 --> 00:03:13.840
slightly updated back plate this is an acitech design so it's um not really

00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:16.440
something we've never seen before but the little pieces are a little bit

00:03:15.239 --> 00:03:22.280
easier to slide so whether you're mounting on LGA 115x 1366 or 2011 you're

00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:26.000
going to be able to get it in the right position quite easily although remember

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:29.799
guys 2011 does have its own back plate built onto the motherboard just like AMD

00:03:27.799 --> 00:03:34.239
sockets so same thing for the AMD Hardware you're just going to get a hold

00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:38.840
down which can be swapped by just undoing these four little Clips right

00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:43.360
here popping off the bottom ring just like that pulling off the retention or

00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:47.480
pulling off the hold down and then swapping on the appropriate AMD one so

00:03:45.760 --> 00:03:50.840
you can do that relatively easily and then it'll just screw directly into the

00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:56.400
back plate that is built into your motherboard giving you compatibility for

00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:57.799
FM sockets as well as am sockets the

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

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

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

00:04:10.079 --> 00:04:15.560
can actually control both of them with pwm using a single fan header so that's

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

00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:24.960
because the CPU fan header tends to be the least broken of all the pwm

00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:29.160
implementations on a on a given motherboard or in a given system it uses

00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:32.440
quarter inch tubing but I'm not really convinced that that's going to be a

00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:36.520
problem for it because these all-in-one liquid coolers don't tend to to have

00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:40.440
extremely high flow rates to the point where 38 or even halfin tubing would

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

00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:49.199
radiator right here so 38 mm thick as I mentioned before a little bit lower fin

00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:53.880
density than we've necessarily seen in the past and uh and the and well the

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

00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:02.080
affect performance and it's also going to affect compatibility so you're going

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

00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:11.440
enough clearance not only for a 25mm thick fan but also a 38 mm thick

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

00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:20.360
directly to the case and then the fans to that or Mount the radiator through

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

00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:28.120
need to make sure you have enough room which leads us to Performance off to luk

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

00:05:29.919 --> 00:05:38.120
are running an x79 deluxe from ASUS and a 4820k from Intel this was because in

00:05:35.880 --> 00:05:42.199
the previous setup I was noticing some pretty major inconsistencies when trying

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

00:05:44.520 --> 00:05:49.840
was kind of all over the place with massive Deltas so I thought there might

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

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

00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:03.120
affect other videos that we've recorded so don't worry about that as for

00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:07.759
installing it it was much better than h110 which has the kind of older

00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:12.440
installation setup but it wasn't quite as good as an h100i which has the super

00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:16.240
nice Magnetic Locking plates and all that kind of stuff that Corsair's put on

00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:21.400
it but it was definitely in the higher Echelon of uh installation processes for

00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:24.880
coolers that I have used and it performed pretty much exactly where we

00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:30.120
expected it performed in between an h100i and an h110 now what I want in the

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

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

00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:46.479
want them all to come together I want like essentially an

00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:48.080
h15 i or an H awesome I or something I

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

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:56.720
h110 I want the thickness of the h105 and I want the Advanced Technologies and

00:06:54.479 --> 00:07:00.879
connectivity and mounting system of an h100i what do you guys want what what do

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
