1
00:00:00,919 --> 00:00:08,000
well we've got a memory oriented sort of unboxing today but it isn't RAM this is

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:13,960
the Corsair Dominator airflow fan and this is not the original one this is the

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:16,720
new one which is as you can see wide

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:21,960
enough for six modules to fit underneath it now the old one was about this thick

5
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:26,960
and used little tiny 40 mm fans that quite honestly were just too loud they

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:28,920
were obnoxious fans awful just awful but

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,880
these ones are 60 mm fans and though I've never actually turned them on I'm

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:36,920
going to assume they're quite a bit quieter the optional airflow fan unit

9
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:41,760
contains 260 tachometer controlled fans to provide impinging air flow to the

10
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:45,079
memory subsystem with the moderate RPMs required to provide adequate forced air

11
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:49,160
the airflow fan is nearly silent there you go they say it's quiet the fan

12
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:52,960
easily clamps onto most motherboards now something that you should bear in mind

13
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:56,079
is that you do not need to use Corsair RAM in order to take advantage of the

14
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:01,239
Dominator airflow fan you can actually use it with any RAM but the height that

15
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:05,920
it sits at is just right for their dhx or their Dominator modules so I mean

16
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:10,040
obviously designed to work best with their product so the first thing we'll

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:13,400
find inside is hopefully some kind of installation instruction oh yeah there

18
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:18,119
we go there it is that's clever see they've gone and they've taken that backboard and they've turned it into

19
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:22,040
your installation manual so figure one clip on the retention levers figure two

20
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:25,640
clipped over the modules figure three plug in the airflow figure four

21
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:29,240
completed so it is a four-step actually three-step because the fourth step is

22
00:01:27,119 --> 00:01:32,960
that it's done uh installation process I've installed it before it's really

23
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:36,000
easy it comes okay first we find the two little Clips those go on either side I'm

24
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,840
dropping things all over the place tonight there's another there's another

25
00:01:38,119 --> 00:01:45,479
clip okay then we have oh there they are okay so then we

26
00:01:43,479 --> 00:01:49,000
have the actual Dominator airflow module itself you got a nice long little

27
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:52,280
sleeved fan connector there that's a three pin connector so the easiest place

28
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:58,119
to plug this in is going to be somewhere on your motherboard into one of the fan headers and then right in here you have

29
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:01,039
a little baggie of screws and washers and they're mostly pre-applied to the

30
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:07,399
thumb screws okay so these are really easy to apply all you really

31
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:08,560
do is position this clip under here just

32
00:02:07,399 --> 00:02:12,560
like that so you can kind of see what I've done there and then you can move it

33
00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:16,519
around to get the best positioning over your memory modules and then you take

34
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:20,000
the little thumb screws and you thumb them in there and then these will be

35
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:25,360
mounted to either side then you take the whole thing and

36
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:28,440
clip it clamp it over the memory retention clip so you don't actually

37
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:32,840
clip it to the sides of your memory modules you pull it over just a little

38
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:36,200
bit more so that it will hold the memory modules in place by holding the clips

39
00:02:34,519 --> 00:02:40,879
anyway that was pretty much it thank you for checking out my unboxing of the

40
00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:42,360
Corsair Dominator airflow module I'm

41
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:47,800
actually going to give you like a couple seconds of like closeup we got like some

42
00:02:44,959 --> 00:02:54,800
like some panning action here check it out oh yeah there's Corsair air flow on

43
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,800
the side airf flow okay that was it
