00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:21,600
welcome to an unboxing of a product that I have only good things to say about

2
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:23,760
this is the glacier 240l liquid CPU

3
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:28,960
Cooler from Cooler Master it was designed in collaboration with my

4
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:31,960
favorite DIY liquid cooling brand swifttech

5
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:37,239
and you're going to see an awful lot of swifttech DNA in this particular product

6
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:40,239
so first is some eco-friendly packaging with some foam that I actually don't

7
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:45,640
remember where it went I accidentally took it out last time we were trying to do the unboxing but I screwed up that

8
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:52,960
shot next up we find the installation guide then we find the fully assembled

9
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:56,640
guys this is a pre-filled readyto rock

10
00:00:52,960 --> 00:01:00,320
liquid cooling unit unit and then some

11
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:02,800
assembly Hardware so you've got some

12
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:06,720
Cooler Master thermal paste you've got some mounting brackets that are made out

13
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:10,640
of nice solid steel extremely robust and you've got Swift techs I believe

14
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:15,200
excellent mounting hardware while there are a lot of pieces swifttech does a

15
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:19,720
great job of ensuring that the mounting clamping Force the pressure on the CPU

16
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:26,040
socket is correct and within the manufacturer's specifications next up we

17
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,640
find the radiator and fan unit itself

18
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:31,880
which is wrapped in a protective bubble wrap to keep it from being damaged in

19
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:37,439
Transit we'll start with the radiator Reservoir combo unit so on the top here

20
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:41,560
we find a fill Port plug which you can keep closed if you're not planning to

21
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:47,159
expand the system or swap out the coolant in it for whatever reason and

22
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,960
then we find the first Cooler Master

23
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:54,240
addition to the product these are their blade master fans designed for static

24
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:59,920
pressure as opposed to free flowing air flow which is great because they're on a

25
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:02,240
nice fat radiator we also find an

26
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:07,600
extremely heavy and robustly built radiator with full Copper Brass

27
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:14,519
construction no aluminum even on the fins what that means is Simply Better

28
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,760
performance per sort of surface area

29
00:02:14,519 --> 00:02:21,400
compared to other products on the market and compatibility really hasn't been

30
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:25,360
affected much by all of this robustness although you will need a little bit more

31
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:29,200
space than you do for your typical radiator because the tank on the one end

32
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:33,200
is a little bit longer than normal to account for that Reservoir and that fill

33
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:37,360
port and then on the other side you have your typical clearance required for

34
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:42,640
fittings speaking of fittings Cooler Master includes 38in elbow fittings that

35
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:46,000
can actually fully rotated so if you wanted to mount the unit fully the other

36
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:50,560
way you could definitely go ahead and do that and they can actually have the nice

37
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:54,920
little custom clamps that are holding the tubing on removed so you can swap

38
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:58,440
out different tubing should you see fit whether it's for aesthetic reasons or

39
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:02,720
whether you want to expand the system to add a graphics card water block or

40
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:06,680
something like that down the line it's fully expandable and customizable and

41
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:10,159
you can even add more radiators and all kinds of cool crazy stuff like that one

42
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:14,959
of the reasons that this one will actually perform a little bit better than Swift Tech's own version of it is

43
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:20,360
the fact that Cooler Master has gone with a higher RPM on the pump so that

44
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:22,959
leads us to the pump and CPU block combo

45
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:28,599
unit here which has a nice little Cooler Master badge on the top of it here with

46
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:32,280
brushed accents so the most of the magic is actually hidden away here so that

47
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:37,760
pump I talked about before is built into the CPU block unit which is capped with

48
00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:42,959
an excellent again swifttech designed microf fin water block that has a copper

49
00:03:40,599 --> 00:03:46,519
base plate that is finished to a beautiful beautiful shine although it

50
00:03:44,799 --> 00:03:49,519
comes with some tape that we're going to leave on until we do our performance

51
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,959
testing just to make sure that it is as clean as possible make sure you don't

52
00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:56,319
install it with that please there's also one mounting bracket pre-installed so if

53
00:03:55,079 --> 00:04:01,959
you're going to be installing on most Intel sockets you're going to be ready to rock just by unscrew the four screws

54
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:06,040
that are pre-installed on it throwing that back plate on and screwing it onto

55
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:09,760
your motherboard socket then that leads us to the fittings that are built into

56
00:04:07,799 --> 00:04:12,680
the CPU block unit which are again rotating fittings giving you a lot of

57
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:18,079
flexibility in terms of where you mount your radiator and where you mount your tubing as well as those same removable

58
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,479
clamps so you can swap out the tubing for something else should you see fit

59
00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:27,160
the last thing here that I want to show you guys is how the power works so there

60
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,800
is a single lead for RPM monitoring as

61
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:34,240
well as pwm control that goes to your CP U header and then power for the pump

62
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,000
itself is provided by a SATA power connector I'm not 100% sure how I feel

63
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,360
about that because normally I wouldn't route my SATA cables towards my CPU

64
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,840
socket they would go towards the drive cages but the flip side of that is if

65
00:04:43,479 --> 00:04:48,720
you have an optical drive you could carry another part of the harness over

66
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,800
there or you could just use a MOX TOA adapter which are inexpensive

67
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:56,960
practically free and then you can run whatever cable you want up there so it's a quite a flexible implementation if

68
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:02,680
nothing else in our testing rig we have a 3930k overclocked at 4.0 GHz running a

69
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:07,479
voltage of 1.3 volts to kick some more heat out then we also have a GTX 580

70
00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:11,039
running a little bit overclocked and Running After Burner so it generates

71
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:15,680
some heat too and the CPU is crunching numbers on Prime 95 small ffts we tested

72
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:20,000
the cooler with its stock fans and Noctua nf12 the reason why we do this is

73
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:24,160
we test all of our coolers with Noctua nf12 so that we have another constant

74
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,600
and we're not basing the coolers on the fans necessarily but we also test it

75
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,039
with stock so you can see how it'll perform right out of the box performance

76
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:36,720
was pretty straightforward and expected it slotted basically right beside its

77
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:38,840
brother the h220 on both tests idle and

78
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:43,520
load we noticed with it stock fans that it was slightly worse than the n2s but

79
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:47,840
still very solid performance on both of the tests one additional observation

80
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:51,440
that I had was while this pump is 500 RPM faster I don't know if I would run

81
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:55,120
it at that unless you're doing something like adding in a few graphics cards that

82
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,800
pump is quite loud and I turned it down pretty much as much as much as I could

83
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:03,759
when you're looking into water coolers in the comments below are you looking more for an all-in-one

84
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:08,199
that you never have to change and would never be able to change easily or are

85
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,960
you looking more into something like this cooler the 240l where you can add

86
00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:14,599
graphics cards or something to it like the video if you like the video dislike
