1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,120
my next unboxing from the silence physio series is going to be the extreme which

2
00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:12,400
as you may guess based on the size of the box and the name is the highest end

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:17,600
product in the physio lineup it's also classified as a less than 18 decibel

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:20,000
cooler and it is geared to be a silent

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:26,400
CPU cooler so they've got logos on here for every processor under the sun

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:30,400
including anything on socket am2 am3 775

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:32,800
lga 1156 as well as lga 1366 in fact

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:36,000
they've even got a core i9 logo on there that's kind of funny considering that

9
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:39,440
Intel scrapped that branding a little while back i guess they designed this

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,360
back when it looked like Intel was going to make a core i9 brand the heatsink

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,719
requires a case with adequate space to fit properly check to ensure you have oh

12
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,840
this is important okay so if you're thinking of installing this one check

13
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:52,879
these numbers to make sure it will fit in your system here's the overall

14
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,800
specifications as well as the compatibility like i said pretty much

15
00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:00,879
everything so core i9 is what they were going to call the core i7 extreme six

16
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:05,119
core but then they did not end up doing that all right oh i was i had the box

17
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,760
backwards look at that you can actually see into the box and you can see the

18
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:12,960
overall shape of this cooler it's got the quietest noise levels greatest

19
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:17,360
efficiency and superior performance designed for gamers and overclockers and

20
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:21,360
those seeking extreme performance or just those who are hit by this heat wave

21
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:26,320
that seems to be hitting the entire continent this summer so we've got five

22
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:30,479
effective eight millimeter heat pipes wow those are big and those all directly

23
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:34,320
interface with the CPU core so those are going right on the CPU heat spreader you

24
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,520
can expect cylindex heatsinks to offer maximum thermal efficiency at all times

25
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,720
they've got optimized fan blades so it means it is using a solid x fan which

26
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:45,439
you would expect and it has a universal mounting system which i had a look at in

27
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:50,159
much closer detail on the compact unboxing so i probably won't look at it

28
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:54,640
quite as closely on this one let's go ahead and get this open and see

29
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:58,719
what we have inside so the first thing we find inside is a box very exciting

30
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:03,520
box it's white and inside the box we will find likely

31
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,920
a bunch of mounting gear okay nothing else this is it okay

32
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:12,319
so it's pretty much exactly the same accessory package that we found with the

33
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:16,239
compact so yeah i probably really won't look all that closely at this but i will

34
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,840
have a quick look so we've got a fan speed controller okay very high quality

35
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:28,000
one i've actually used these before they're really good then we have a universal back plate

36
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:29,760
so it's for am2 am3 775 1156 1366 we

37
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,160
have the AMD mounting hardware and then we have the Intel mounting hardware

38
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:37,680
they've also included some extra fan mounting grommets involves some thermal

39
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:42,959
compound so the fan mounting grommets are so you can install an additional fan

40
00:02:40,959 --> 00:02:47,519
in a push-pull configuration on this particular heat sink all right so uh

41
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:51,840
once again we see are greeted with a non-silvery fan

42
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:55,440
so this is a silence fan but not from their ixtreme a series

43
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,920
and they've actually oh i hope they've got two sets oh

44
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:04,239
maybe they do yes yes well there are two sets of fan

45
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:08,239
grommets in this one in the compact it was actually the fan was mounted for me

46
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:12,720
already so i'm gonna have to go ahead and uh figure out how to mount the fan

47
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,680
on camera here for you that should be quite an ordeal oh here's

48
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:21,120
a little um a double-sided velcro thing to mount your fan controller somewhere in your

49
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,519
case okay so what we do is first let's take the heat sink oh that's a heavy

50
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:27,920
sucker all right so we go ahead and slide that in there

51
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:35,200
okay there we go it's in there and then we go ahead and slide

52
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,959
this in the bottom i actually like the look of this

53
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:41,920
heatsink overall it looks uh looks very very sharp it's got nice shiny heat

54
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:46,959
pipes it's got a nice finish to the top of it

55
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:49,360
you can see that the the metal um

56
00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:52,799
the aluminum fins actually have a bit of a bumpy texture to them and i'll show

57
00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:56,959
you that a little bit more closely once i'm finished mounting the fan here as

58
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:01,120
far as fan mounting systems go this is actually pretty clever because it

59
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:05,439
doesn't involve any um clips which can be extremely unwieldy

60
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:08,239
and are difficult to you know this is something that you never consider either

61
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:11,840
it's like yeah what if i do want to mount a second fan and push pull but i

62
00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:15,439
want to do it later so you have to actually like keep those clips somewhere

63
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:18,239
and not lose them whereas if it's just a couple little rubber grommets it's no

64
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:22,720
big deal so you just line up the rubber grommets

65
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,880
in there and in there i'm not paying attention to where the

66
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:31,520
camera is looking right now because i'm actually paying attention to where the

67
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:36,320
heatsink is positioned right now and then i'm going to go ahead and line

68
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:38,800
up the very last one

69
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:43,600
so okay so this isn't the easiest thing in the world but i think most of the

70
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:48,720
difficulty is the fact that i'm trying to operate a camera at the same

71
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:51,680
time i think if i had a cameraman today

72
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:56,320
that would make my life a lot easier maybe might not my life a lot easier but

73
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:59,680
certainly this video okay so you go ahead and pull these

74
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:04,080
through just give them a good tug and then i

75
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:07,759
guess if you want to you can uh run them through the second hole

76
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:12,160
oh hold on let me see if i can figure this out okay hold on maybe i just have

77
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:15,520
to pull harder remember when in doubt force it

78
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:19,120
yes there we go so then if you want to you can run it

79
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:23,600
through the second hole but that's not entirely necessary you just want to

80
00:05:21,039 --> 00:05:28,320
heave on it ah until it comes through there we go

81
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:34,320
that was pretty easy and i'm sorry you'll have to bear with me because i am

82
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:36,560
ocd and i do need to put

83
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:41,600
those through or else my day will be ruined yes i said it ruined

84
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,479
three come on go through

85
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,919
thank you and the last one it's only i had a cat here to help me oh yeah this

86
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,120
is a lot easier if you just actually pull them through one at a time because

87
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,400
there's quite a bit of give in the one that's in the ones that you've already put on so you can actually pull this

88
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:04,560
away to uh to line up the last one even when three are already in so go ahead and

89
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:08,160
pull that through and bring it through the second hole

90
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,639
and there we go that didn't take so long

91
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,720
it might have taken longer if you're just sitting watching me do it okay so

92
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:25,680
we've got a little bit of a gap not as much of a gap as we saw on the compact

93
00:06:23,039 --> 00:06:29,280
cooler but there's a slight gap on the side there's a bit more of a gap on the

94
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:33,759
top and the bottom so we're going to see a little bit of airflow leakage there in all likelihood

95
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:38,400
but it shouldn't impact performance too much most of the coolers on the market do

96
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:42,080
have a similar sort of configuration now this is one thing that i really like

97
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:46,240
about this cooler right off the bat and that's the fact that all of the heat

98
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:50,639
pipes line up with the part of the cooling tower that is going to see the

99
00:06:47,919 --> 00:06:54,400
most airflow so you can see through here okay so you see where the blades of the

100
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:57,120
fan actually start around here that's where the dead zone is in the middle

101
00:06:55,759 --> 00:07:01,199
where there's no airflow because that's where the hub of the fan is and then the

102
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:05,440
blades of the fan actually blow air through an area kind of this shape so

103
00:07:03,599 --> 00:07:10,080
they position most of the heat pipe cooling where it's actually going to

104
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:15,120
take advantage of the blades of the fan now it's quite a dense heap

105
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:20,880
fin arrangement so that means that you would benefit for sure from putting an

106
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:22,960
additional fan on here but it's not

107
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:26,240
too too too dense i've seen worse in fact i think the compact one was even a

108
00:07:25,039 --> 00:07:30,000
little bit more dense than this one though i could be mistaken now something

109
00:07:28,479 --> 00:07:34,160
that i said i'd look at in more close detail later is the slightly

110
00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:38,960
hear that slightly textured finish on each of

111
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:42,720
these aluminum fins and the reason for that is it gives them just a little bit

112
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:46,560
more surface area when the air is blowing through and you're gonna

113
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,360
sacrifice a little bit of noise performance although you probably

114
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:53,039
wouldn't even be able to measure it because these are such small dimples but

115
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:57,599
you'll get a little bit more air turbulence in there and you will get a little bit more surface area and

116
00:07:55,919 --> 00:08:01,680
therefore a little bit more cooling performance out of a design like that

117
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:05,520
last thing i want to have a look at now i suspect this would perform really well

118
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:10,000
on an AMD CPU because they have those nice big heat spreaders same with an lga

119
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:14,960
1366 because it's the same thing nice big heat spreaders but we've got five

120
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:18,000
huge eight millimeter heat pipes you really can't ask for more than that i

121
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:22,000
mean some guys have more heat pipes on the cooler but

122
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:26,400
they're not using eight mils these things are enormous so you're going here

123
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:30,800
look at how thick that is so when you actually put a CPU on here you're going

124
00:08:28,479 --> 00:08:33,680
to be completely covering the CPU in heat pipe and they've machined the

125
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:38,240
bottom of it very flat i'll do the obligatory finger shot thing although it

126
00:08:35,839 --> 00:08:41,760
really doesn't mean a whole lot i really like the shape of the blades

127
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:45,120
and i can't or of the fins and i can't even really tell you why i just think it

128
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:48,560
looks kind of cool here's your universal hold down as well as a little bit of

129
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,920
additional heatsink cooling directly on the CPU you know it's funny it wasn't

130
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:56,160
that long ago you could cool a CPU with just one of those and a little tiny loud

131
00:08:54,320 --> 00:09:00,160
fan on it then that turned into a chipset fan and now it's like a

132
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,959
supplementary cooler on a on a real heatsink

133
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:11,040
anyway thank you for checking out my unboxing and uh first look at the

134
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:14,040
ephysio extreme CPU cooler from

135
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,040
silence
