1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,480 Today I'll be unboxing the V6 GT muscle 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:13,480 cooling 200 plus watt cooling solution from Cooler Master. This is an upgrade 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:16,800 to their V6 cooler obviously and it has 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:20,439 muscle unlike me. Okay, so it is 5 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:23,279 compatible with Intel LGA 1366 1156 and 6 00:00:20,439 --> 00:00:27,840 775. It's also compatible with AMD AM3, AM2 and AM2 Plus. So it's compatible 7 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:31,599 with pretty much every modern socket out there right now. And by pretty much I do 8 00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:35,040 mean all. You can see through there's like a engine looking thing and they've 9 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,840 got a picture of the cooler and you can see the cooler itself. But let's have a 10 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:43,360 quick look at what they have to say about it on the packaging outside. So 11 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,760 far, not a whole lot. Uh here it is. 12 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:50,719 Okay, so it is highly dense and tilted aluminum fins. So you can expect this to 13 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:53,520 perform best with a high uh static pressure fan. And I'm actually just 14 00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:57,120 going to open it and then sort of talk about it while we're looking at the 15 00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:03,199 product rather than talk about it while we're looking at the box. Ooh, this 16 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:06,000 looks cool, actually. Here it is. The V6 17 00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:10,000 GT. Apparently perfect for case modders. Oh, I was half expecting this to be like 18 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:13,680 a fan speed controller, but it's not. That's a good idea, actually. I should 19 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:18,000 suggest that to somebody. Okay, so on either side, we've got Cooler Masters. 20 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:23,200 Uh oh, these are cool. So, this is one of their new series of fans. It has kind 21 00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:25,600 of a a wave shape to the fins, which 22 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:30,400 apparently gives you better performance. Okay, so that's great. It includes their 23 00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:35,439 their latest fans. You flip it over. So, you can see that the fins are indeed 24 00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:39,000 quite densely packed and it does feature 25 00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:41,600 six discrete heat pipes. Now, these are 26 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:46,640 relatively Oh, okay. No, that's okay. Never mind. As soon as I move this, that 27 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,479 fan will spin. There we go. So, it 28 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,040 features six discreet heat pipes. Now, they're not the thick heat pipes, but 29 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:55,439 there are so many of them, I can't imagine that it matters all of that 30 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:59,920 much. So, I'm just going to go ahead and sort of push all of the all of the 31 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:03,439 cables and stuff out of here so that I can get access to them and show you 32 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:08,800 exactly how to hook it up. So, it is a pushpull heat sink. That means that the 33 00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:10,640 two fans, one is pushing air into the 34 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:15,120 heat sink, the other one is pulling air through. So when you've got a dense fin 35 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:20,480 arrangement, that is the best way to set it up because pushpull doesn't actually 36 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:25,680 increase the the CFM, the air flow. But what it does do is it increases the uh 37 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:30,920 the pressure. So it makes it so that it will slow down the air less to have 38 00:02:28,239 --> 00:02:37,840 these fins in the way. So, we've got one adapter that basically takes a 39 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:40,480 PWM fan header on your motherboard, 40 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:47,120 preferably your CPU one, and then turns it into two PWM fans headers for the 41 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:51,680 cooler itself. So, it's sleeved, so you could kind of like tuck this one under 42 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,560 the heat sink like that, and then have it just come out with the the sleeved 43 00:02:53,440 --> 00:03:02,800 bit and plug that right into your motherboard. So, it should look quite tidy. Then you've also got a Molex plug 44 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:04,239 here. And I'm at a bit of a loss for um 45 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,080 for what that would be for. Maybe we'll go find out after. Okay, let's have a 46 00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:12,360 look at what we've got in terms of installation instructions and 47 00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:17,120 accessories. So, we've got a users manual. Okay, that's quite small. Then 48 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:23,120 we have a warranty card, also quite small. And then we have a less small 49 00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:24,560 users manual. Okay, that's in a bunch of 50 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:29,760 different languages. And it gives you a little picture guide of how to install 51 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:34,720 on all the different sockets, including Oh, this is good. You can actually 52 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,799 install the AM2 AM3 in either direction. 53 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:42,480 So, you're not married to one way or the other. Uh because remember, the AM3 54 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,480 mounting equipment is not square. So, 55 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:48,560 let's go ahead and sort of let's see if we can get these fans off. Actually, why 56 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:52,640 don't we do that first? I don't know if I'm going to be able to do that, 57 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:56,760 especially on camera. That seems like it might be quite challenging. Maybe it's 58 00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:03,319 just a matter of pulling it out this way. No, that's not it. Okay, maybe it's 59 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:07,200 a matter of pressing this button. No, that button does something, 60 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:11,599 though. And we're going to find out what it does before this video is 61 00:04:09,799 --> 00:04:14,239 through. Maybe that's what you're waiting for. Maybe that's why you're 62 00:04:12,799 --> 00:04:18,239 still watching the video, so you can find out what exactly that button does. 63 00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:24,080 I suspect it's something to do with lights. I'll say that much. 64 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:27,759 Okay. Apparently, it is not really designed to be easily taken apart. 65 00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:31,360 Although, I suspect there is a way to take it apart, and it's not all that 66 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:35,199 difficult, but I'm just having trouble. So, why don't we do our our obligatory 67 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:39,040 finger shot thing here to see the shininess of the base, cuz everyone 68 00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:43,199 likes that. If you don't like that, feel free to leave a comment and tell me you 69 00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:48,720 don't care. Okay. Oh, you can tell right away that this is uh that this is 70 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,479 actually a um a convex base. So, that's 71 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,919 designed to get better mounting pressure against the CPU. There you go. You can 72 00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:59,720 see that. Okay. Now, let's go over into my office where I have a power supply plugged into 73 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:04,960 uh the space under my desk. Okay, just follow me. So, my 74 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:10,160 office is two doors down from the cameraman, which you probably don't 75 00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:14,639 already know, unless you're a super creeper. Uh, okay. So, I'm just going to 76 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:20,479 plug this power supply in, assuming I can find a a power plug to plug it in 77 00:05:18,479 --> 00:05:24,000 with. You know, it's funny because I thought I had one. Ah, here we go. Okay. 78 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:29,120 So, we'll plug in this power supply. This is my random fan testing power 79 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:33,800 supply. It is jumpered on and I'm going to go ahead and plug this in and we'll 80 00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:40,080 find out what it does. Okay, so far nothing. Now, we're 81 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:42,000 going to press the button. Oh, check it 82 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:49,199 out. It's red. So, there is a red LED light strip that 83 00:05:45,039 --> 00:05:51,800 goes down the top of the V6 GT cooler. 84 00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:56,880 Or blue. Oh, I like it. Purple or nothing? Red, blue, purple, or 85 00:05:55,039 --> 00:06:02,560 nothing. I personally would choose this one cuz I think that looks sweet. And uh 86 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:07,440 you know what? I wouldn't I wouldn't be all that surprised at this point if the 87 00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:09,280 fans are LED, too. But okay, here. Just 88 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:13,039 turn the camera off for a second. So, I couldn't find an adapter, so I had to 89 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:18,960 find a computer that's on. So, we're going to go ahead and plug in the four 90 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:21,120 pin PWM fan header that splits out into 91 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:28,000 two. And we're going to plug that in here. Now, this fan is running Linux, so 92 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,560 it is uh under full 100% load. So, 93 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,319 that's going to be the maximum fan speed, but it pushes quite a bit of air. 94 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:38,720 And what's interesting actually is that compared to um standing or sitting or 95 00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:42,360 kneeling, whatever I'm doing, right in front of it like this, if you turn it to 96 00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:48,319 the side, you actually hear it a lot less. 97 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:52,199 So, that's a pretty good thing about the shroud, I guess. Here, why don't I go 98 00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:56,240 ahead and plug this in for the full effect? There we go. So, this is what it 99 00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:01,039 would look like if you installed it in a computer, which maybe I'll do later. 100 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:04,560 Purple. Yeah. Okay. So, there. That's my video on the V6 GT from Cooler Master. 101 00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:12,120 Thank you for checking it out. And don't forget to It's upside 102 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:12,120 down.
