00:00:07,399 --> 00:00:18,039
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the zelman cnps 20 lq now the cnps now

2
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:21,160
if you guys have been PC Enthusiast for

3
00:00:18,039 --> 00:00:23,720
long enough you'll remember what that

4
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:30,519
actually stands for speaking of which I think I still have one of the

5
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:32,000
first like Enthusiast grade products

6
00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:37,320
that I ever bought see if I can find it ah

7
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:47,280
yes no this isn't ah this isn't the one I was thinking of the first one I bought

8
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:50,280
was actually a cnps 7,000 which was the

9
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:52,520
original uh flower from zman this is a

10
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:59,079
7700 the only difference being that it uses a 120 mm fan and the other one that

11
00:00:55,879 --> 00:01:02,640
I had was a pure copper one that weighed

12
00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:05,080
a ton cool really well well for back in

13
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:09,680
the day anyway okay okay so cnps case noise prevention system or something

14
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:13,000
along those lines uh if I'm if I'm wrong if I don't remember exactly correct

15
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:18,000
please please do leave a comment and let me know but either way we've come a long

16
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:20,799
way so this is a liquid cooling unit liquid sealed water cooler for easy

17
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:26,280
installation and freedom from maintenance built-in pump within water block minimizes tubes therefore

18
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,880
increasing reliability that that is actually true more joints is more points

19
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,920
of failure micro fins made of pure copper inside the water block provide

20
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:38,600
excellent heat transfer so that is referring to the block right here durable and long-lasting tubes are easy

21
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:43,200
to bend allowing easy installation if these are the ones I think they are then that much is true as well low profile

22
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:47,520
water block design enhances air flow inside the chassis this hey this can be

23
00:01:45,479 --> 00:01:54,399
a factor guys like check this out so over here this is my uh IV Bridge test

24
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:56,640
bench and you can see here that um the

25
00:01:54,399 --> 00:02:01,159
vrm coolers so around here on the voltage regulation modules do require

26
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:05,000
some active air flow so when you have a fan on here they obviously get some

27
00:02:03,479 --> 00:02:08,720
however if you have a big bul bulky water cooler what that can do is it can

28
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:13,160
actually impede the air flow around the CPU socket area uh causing it to

29
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:17,720
overheat which can cause it to be less stable so if you have a nice low profile

30
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:24,879
CPU water block then you should be less likely to run into any difficulty with

31
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:28,280
that so here we

32
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:31,000
are comes with a pwm fan that runs at

33
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:36,720
2,000 RPM at full speed inside we find some foam we find a

34
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:44,280
users manual which uh looks pretty

35
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:47,800
straightforward okay then we find the unit itself it's got a bit of a

36
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:51,040
different look now this is an acch oem unit so if you guys are familiar with

37
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:56,879
what that means you'll know that it means you've got uh a fairly bog

38
00:02:54,280 --> 00:03:03,400
standard set of mounting hardware so you see here these are all labeled 775 11 56

39
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:08,760
and 1366 are all on there you can see we've

40
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:11,640
got uh AMT retentions right here we've

41
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:16,040
also got our Intel hold down here and then with these clips right here I

42
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:21,599
believe it should be compatible with socket 2011 or LGA 2011 so you got all

43
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:26,599
the various oh it might be this one Whatever you've got all the various

44
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:32,560
retentions that you need for 775 fm1

45
00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:34,840
1156 1155 1366 2011 am3 am3 plus am2 am2

46
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:40,159
plus pretty much whatever you need comes with a zman fan

47
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:44,599
pwm fairly long wire on it so you can run that to wherever it is that you need

48
00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:48,439
to go seems to be a fairly sturdy construction compared to the fans that

49
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:55,519
you usually see included with these uh prefabbed water cooling doodads a little

50
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:58,840
plastic cover here and we find something

51
00:03:55,519 --> 00:04:01,519
that looks pretty familiar at this point

52
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:06,400
so one key difference that we find is that it does use the more rubbery style

53
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:12,120
of tubing what this does is this minimizes the amount of evaporation that

54
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:15,079
can occur compared to ah these ones over

55
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:19,799
here these kinds of uh more plastic tubings they're also much much easier to

56
00:04:17,239 --> 00:04:25,320
Route so these tubes are not they will Kink if I go much further than that

57
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:27,800
whereas this guy right here is capable

58
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:32,919
of being tied up into a knot without actually kinking due to the thick

59
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:36,639
of the wall so having a thin wall tubing means you are more prone to kinking

60
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,120
whereas having a thick wall tubing means you are less prone to kinking there's no

61
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:43,960
performance Advantage either way but it definitely gives you more flexibility in

62
00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:48,960
terms of like if your CPU socket happens to be here or here or here or here like

63
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:54,199
here then no big deal now you've also got some more installation flexibility

64
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,560
where you're using uh rotating fittings

65
00:04:54,199 --> 00:05:00,520
right here so you don't have to worry about any leaks or anything like that you've also got pre-applied thermal

66
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:03,479
compound this is air good quality thermal compound so if this is the first

67
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,360
time you're installing it I wouldn't recommend replacing it with something else you're going to want to just go

68
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,960
ahead and install that right on there it's only if you take it off and need to

69
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:16,520
reapply it you need to clean both your CPU and the surface and then uh reapply

70
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:21,080
thermal compound now for the radiator we see it's using a thick style radiator so

71
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:25,840
you're going to see better performance than you would with a thin 120 mm rad

72
00:05:23,919 --> 00:05:31,160
although not quite as good as you'd see with a thin dual 120 mm rad like the one

73
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:36,080
over there on the h 100 that's running on my IV Bridge test bench and I think

74
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,639
that pretty much covers it as far as other installation tips go the last

75
00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:45,039
thing I do is whenever possible you want to install it with the barbs up on the

76
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:48,600
radiator sorry pardon me uh barbs down because what that means is any air

77
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:52,360
pockets will be isolated here rather than constantly cycling through your

78
00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:56,280
Loop and making noise as they pass through the pump which is contained in

79
00:05:53,800 --> 00:06:00,080
the CPU block here and I think that pretty much covers

80
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:04,639
it thank you for check checking out this unboxing and First Look video at the Zan

81
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:08,720
cnps 20 lq don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews

82
00:06:07,039 --> 00:06:11,680
and other computer videos and doesn't this have a sharp look with the blue on

83
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,960
the sides of the radiator as long as you got like a blue theme going on in your

84
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:19,560
case that's going to look really good might not work with you know sorry I got

85
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:22,840
my salad here just put that away might not work with like a red themed system

86
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:27,319
like this one but if you have a blue themed system that should look really sharp
