00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:07.120
my next unboxing from the silence physio series is going to be the extreme which

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

00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:17.600
product in the physio lineup it's also classified as a less than 18 decibel

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:20.000
cooler and it is geared to be a silent

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:26.400
CPU cooler so they've got logos on here for every processor under the sun

00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:30.400
including anything on socket am2 am3 775

00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:32.800
lga 1156 as well as lga 1366 in fact

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

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:39.440
Intel scrapped that branding a little while back i guess they designed this

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:43.360
back when it looked like Intel was going to make a core i9 brand the heatsink

00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:46.719
requires a case with adequate space to fit properly check to ensure you have oh

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:49.840
this is important okay so if you're thinking of installing this one check

00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.879
these numbers to make sure it will fit in your system here's the overall

00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:56.800
specifications as well as the compatibility like i said pretty much

00:00:54.640 --> 00:01:00.879
everything so core i9 is what they were going to call the core i7 extreme six

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

00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:09.760
backwards look at that you can actually see into the box and you can see the

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:12.960
overall shape of this cooler it's got the quietest noise levels greatest

00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:17.360
efficiency and superior performance designed for gamers and overclockers and

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:21.360
those seeking extreme performance or just those who are hit by this heat wave

00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:26.320
that seems to be hitting the entire continent this summer so we've got five

00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:30.479
effective eight millimeter heat pipes wow those are big and those all directly

00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:34.320
interface with the CPU core so those are going right on the CPU heat spreader you

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:37.520
can expect cylindex heatsinks to offer maximum thermal efficiency at all times

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

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

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:50.159
much closer detail on the compact unboxing so i probably won't look at it

00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:54.640
quite as closely on this one let's go ahead and get this open and see

00:01:51.759 --> 00:01:58.719
what we have inside so the first thing we find inside is a box very exciting

00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:03.520
box it's white and inside the box we will find likely

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:07.920
a bunch of mounting gear okay nothing else this is it okay

00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:12.319
so it's pretty much exactly the same accessory package that we found with the

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

00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:19.840
have a quick look so we've got a fan speed controller okay very high quality

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

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:29.760
so it's for am2 am3 775 1156 1366 we

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:34.160
have the AMD mounting hardware and then we have the Intel mounting hardware

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:37.680
they've also included some extra fan mounting grommets involves some thermal

00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:42.959
compound so the fan mounting grommets are so you can install an additional fan

00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:47.519
in a push-pull configuration on this particular heat sink all right so uh

00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:51.840
once again we see are greeted with a non-silvery fan

00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:55.440
so this is a silence fan but not from their ixtreme a series

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:59.920
and they've actually oh i hope they've got two sets oh

00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:04.239
maybe they do yes yes well there are two sets of fan

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:08.239
grommets in this one in the compact it was actually the fan was mounted for me

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

00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:15.680
on camera here for you that should be quite an ordeal oh here's

00:03:14.480 --> 00:03:21.120
a little um a double-sided velcro thing to mount your fan controller somewhere in your

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

00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:27.920
sucker all right so we go ahead and slide that in there

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:35.200
okay there we go it's in there and then we go ahead and slide

00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:38.959
this in the bottom i actually like the look of this

00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:41.920
heatsink overall it looks uh looks very very sharp it's got nice shiny heat

00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:46.959
pipes it's got a nice finish to the top of it

00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:49.360
you can see that the the metal um

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

00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:56.959
you that a little bit more closely once i'm finished mounting the fan here as

00:03:55.040 --> 00:04:01.120
far as fan mounting systems go this is actually pretty clever because it

00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:05.439
doesn't involve any um clips which can be extremely unwieldy

00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:08.239
and are difficult to you know this is something that you never consider either

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

00:04:10.239 --> 00:04:15.439
want to do it later so you have to actually like keep those clips somewhere

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

00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:22.720
big deal so you just line up the rubber grommets

00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:26.880
in there and in there i'm not paying attention to where the

00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:31.520
camera is looking right now because i'm actually paying attention to where the

00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:36.320
heatsink is positioned right now and then i'm going to go ahead and line

00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:38.800
up the very last one

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

00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:48.720
difficulty is the fact that i'm trying to operate a camera at the same

00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:51.680
time i think if i had a cameraman today

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

00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:59.680
certainly this video okay so you go ahead and pull these

00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:04.080
through just give them a good tug and then i

00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:07.759
guess if you want to you can uh run them through the second hole

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

00:05:10.320 --> 00:05:15.520
to pull harder remember when in doubt force it

00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:19.120
yes there we go so then if you want to you can run it

00:05:17.280 --> 00:05:23.600
through the second hole but that's not entirely necessary you just want to

00:05:21.039 --> 00:05:28.320
heave on it ah until it comes through there we go

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

00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:36.560
ocd and i do need to put

00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:41.600
those through or else my day will be ruined yes i said it ruined

00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:48.479
three come on go through

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

00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:55.120
is a lot easier if you just actually pull them through one at a time because

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

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

00:06:02.320 --> 00:06:08.160
pull that through and bring it through the second hole

00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:16.639
and there we go that didn't take so long

00:06:15.520 --> 00:06:20.720
it might have taken longer if you're just sitting watching me do it okay so

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

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

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

00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:38.400
but it shouldn't impact performance too much most of the coolers on the market do

00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:42.080
have a similar sort of configuration now this is one thing that i really like

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

00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:50.639
pipes line up with the part of the cooling tower that is going to see the

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

00:06:52.400 --> 00:06:57.120
fan actually start around here that's where the dead zone is in the middle

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

00:06:59.440 --> 00:07:05.440
blades of the fan actually blow air through an area kind of this shape so

00:07:03.599 --> 00:07:10.080
they position most of the heat pipe cooling where it's actually going to

00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:15.120
take advantage of the blades of the fan now it's quite a dense heap

00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:20.880
fin arrangement so that means that you would benefit for sure from putting an

00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:22.960
additional fan on here but it's not

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

00:07:25.039 --> 00:07:30.000
little bit more dense than this one though i could be mistaken now something

00:07:28.479 --> 00:07:34.160
that i said i'd look at in more close detail later is the slightly

00:07:33.039 --> 00:07:38.960
hear that slightly textured finish on each of

00:07:36.960 --> 00:07:42.720
these aluminum fins and the reason for that is it gives them just a little bit

00:07:40.880 --> 00:07:46.560
more surface area when the air is blowing through and you're gonna

00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:49.360
sacrifice a little bit of noise performance although you probably

00:07:47.840 --> 00:07:53.039
wouldn't even be able to measure it because these are such small dimples but

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

00:07:55.919 --> 00:08:01.680
therefore a little bit more cooling performance out of a design like that

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

00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:10.000
on an AMD CPU because they have those nice big heat spreaders same with an lga

00:08:07.840 --> 00:08:14.960
1366 because it's the same thing nice big heat spreaders but we've got five

00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:18.000
huge eight millimeter heat pipes you really can't ask for more than that i

00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:22.000
mean some guys have more heat pipes on the cooler but

00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:26.400
they're not using eight mils these things are enormous so you're going here

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

00:08:28.479 --> 00:08:33.680
to be completely covering the CPU in heat pipe and they've machined the

00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:38.240
bottom of it very flat i'll do the obligatory finger shot thing although it

00:08:35.839 --> 00:08:41.760
really doesn't mean a whole lot i really like the shape of the blades

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

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

00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:51.920
additional heatsink cooling directly on the CPU you know it's funny it wasn't

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

00:08:54.320 --> 00:09:00.160
fan on it then that turned into a chipset fan and now it's like a

00:08:58.160 --> 00:09:02.959
supplementary cooler on a on a real heatsink

00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:11.040
anyway thank you for checking out my unboxing and uh first look at the

00:09:05.760 --> 00:09:14.040
ephysio extreme CPU cooler from

00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:14.040
silence
