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

00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:21.160
if you guys have been PC Enthusiast for

00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:23.720
long enough you'll remember what that

00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:30.519
actually stands for speaking of which I think I still have one of the

00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:32.000
first like Enthusiast grade products

00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:37.320
that I ever bought see if I can find it ah

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

00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:50.280
was actually a cnps 7,000 which was the

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:52.520
original uh flower from zman this is a

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

00:00:55.879 --> 00:01:02.640
I had was a pure copper one that weighed

00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:05.080
a ton cool really well well for back in

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:09.680
the day anyway okay okay so cnps case noise prevention system or something

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

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

00:01:15.240 --> 00:01:20.799
way so this is a liquid cooling unit liquid sealed water cooler for easy

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:26.280
installation and freedom from maintenance built-in pump within water block minimizes tubes therefore

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:30.880
increasing reliability that that is actually true more joints is more points

00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:33.920
of failure micro fins made of pure copper inside the water block provide

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

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

00:01:41.720 --> 00:01:47.520
water block design enhances air flow inside the chassis this hey this can be

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

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:56.640
bench and you can see here that um the

00:01:54.399 --> 00:02:01.159
vrm coolers so around here on the voltage regulation modules do require

00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:05.000
some active air flow so when you have a fan on here they obviously get some

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

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:13.160
actually impede the air flow around the CPU socket area uh causing it to

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

00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:24.879
CPU water block then you should be less likely to run into any difficulty with

00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:28.280
that so here we

00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:31.000
are comes with a pwm fan that runs at

00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:36.720
2,000 RPM at full speed inside we find some foam we find a

00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:44.280
users manual which uh looks pretty

00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:47.800
straightforward okay then we find the unit itself it's got a bit of a

00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:51.040
different look now this is an acch oem unit so if you guys are familiar with

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:56.879
what that means you'll know that it means you've got uh a fairly bog

00:02:54.280 --> 00:03:03.400
standard set of mounting hardware so you see here these are all labeled 775 11 56

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:08.760
and 1366 are all on there you can see we've

00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:11.640
got uh AMT retentions right here we've

00:03:08.760 --> 00:03:16.040
also got our Intel hold down here and then with these clips right here I

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:21.599
believe it should be compatible with socket 2011 or LGA 2011 so you got all

00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:26.599
the various oh it might be this one Whatever you've got all the various

00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:32.560
retentions that you need for 775 fm1

00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:34.840
1156 1155 1366 2011 am3 am3 plus am2 am2

00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:40.159
plus pretty much whatever you need comes with a zman fan

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

00:03:42.239 --> 00:03:48.439
to go seems to be a fairly sturdy construction compared to the fans that

00:03:46.040 --> 00:03:55.519
you usually see included with these uh prefabbed water cooling doodads a little

00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:58.840
plastic cover here and we find something

00:03:55.519 --> 00:04:01.519
that looks pretty familiar at this point

00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:06.400
so one key difference that we find is that it does use the more rubbery style

00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:12.120
of tubing what this does is this minimizes the amount of evaporation that

00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:15.079
can occur compared to ah these ones over

00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:19.799
here these kinds of uh more plastic tubings they're also much much easier to

00:04:17.239 --> 00:04:25.320
Route so these tubes are not they will Kink if I go much further than that

00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:27.800
whereas this guy right here is capable

00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:32.919
of being tied up into a knot without actually kinking due to the thick

00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:36.639
of the wall so having a thin wall tubing means you are more prone to kinking

00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:40.120
whereas having a thick wall tubing means you are less prone to kinking there's no

00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:43.960
performance Advantage either way but it definitely gives you more flexibility in

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

00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:54.199
here then no big deal now you've also got some more installation flexibility

00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:55.560
where you're using uh rotating fittings

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

00:04:58.320 --> 00:05:03.479
compound this is air good quality thermal compound so if this is the first

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

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

00:05:09.320 --> 00:05:16.520
reapply it you need to clean both your CPU and the surface and then uh reapply

00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:21.080
thermal compound now for the radiator we see it's using a thick style radiator so

00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:25.840
you're going to see better performance than you would with a thin 120 mm rad

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

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

00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:39.639
that pretty much covers it as far as other installation tips go the last

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

00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:48.600
radiator sorry pardon me uh barbs down because what that means is any air

00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:52.360
pockets will be isolated here rather than constantly cycling through your

00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:56.280
Loop and making noise as they pass through the pump which is contained in

00:05:53.800 --> 00:06:00.080
the CPU block here and I think that pretty much covers

00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:04.639
it thank you for check checking out this unboxing and First Look video at the Zan

00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:08.720
cnps 20 lq don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews

00:06:07.039 --> 00:06:11.680
and other computer videos and doesn't this have a sharp look with the blue on

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

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

00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:22.840
my salad here just put that away might not work with like a red themed system

00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:27.319
like this one but if you have a blue themed system that should look really sharp
