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

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:13.960
the Corsair Dominator airflow fan and this is not the original one this is the

00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:16.720
new one which is as you can see wide

00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:21.960
enough for six modules to fit underneath it now the old one was about this thick

00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:26.960
and used little tiny 40 mm fans that quite honestly were just too loud they

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:28.920
were obnoxious fans awful just awful but

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

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:36.920
going to assume they're quite a bit quieter the optional airflow fan unit

00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:41.760
contains 260 tachometer controlled fans to provide impinging air flow to the

00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:45.079
memory subsystem with the moderate RPMs required to provide adequate forced air

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:49.160
the airflow fan is nearly silent there you go they say it's quiet the fan

00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:52.960
easily clamps onto most motherboards now something that you should bear in mind

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

00:00:54.480 --> 00:01:01.239
Dominator airflow fan you can actually use it with any RAM but the height that

00:00:58.559 --> 00:01:05.920
it sits at is just right for their dhx or their Dominator modules so I mean

00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:10.040
obviously designed to work best with their product so the first thing we'll

00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:13.400
find inside is hopefully some kind of installation instruction oh yeah there

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

00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:22.040
your installation manual so figure one clip on the retention levers figure two

00:01:19.960 --> 00:01:25.640
clipped over the modules figure three plug in the airflow figure four

00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:29.240
completed so it is a four-step actually three-step because the fourth step is

00:01:27.119 --> 00:01:32.960
that it's done uh installation process I've installed it before it's really

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

00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:40.840
dropping things all over the place tonight there's another there's another

00:01:38.119 --> 00:01:45.479
clip okay then we have oh there they are okay so then we

00:01:43.479 --> 00:01:49.000
have the actual Dominator airflow module itself you got a nice long little

00:01:47.320 --> 00:01:52.280
sleeved fan connector there that's a three pin connector so the easiest place

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

00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:01.039
a little baggie of screws and washers and they're mostly pre-applied to the

00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:07.399
thumb screws okay so these are really easy to apply all you really

00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:08.560
do is position this clip under here just

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

00:02:10.399 --> 00:02:16.519
around to get the best positioning over your memory modules and then you take

00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:20.000
the little thumb screws and you thumb them in there and then these will be

00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:25.360
mounted to either side then you take the whole thing and

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:28.440
clip it clamp it over the memory retention clip so you don't actually

00:02:27.160 --> 00:02:32.840
clip it to the sides of your memory modules you pull it over just a little

00:02:30.239 --> 00:02:36.200
bit more so that it will hold the memory modules in place by holding the clips

00:02:34.519 --> 00:02:40.879
anyway that was pretty much it thank you for checking out my unboxing of the

00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:42.360
Corsair Dominator airflow module I'm

00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:47.800
actually going to give you like a couple seconds of like closeup we got like some

00:02:44.959 --> 00:02:54.800
like some panning action here check it out oh yeah there's Corsair air flow on

00:02:50.040 --> 00:02:54.800
the side airf flow okay that was it
