WEBVTT 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:06.480 Today I'll be unboxing the V6 GT muscle 00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:13.480 cooling 200 plus watt cooling solution from Cooler Master. This is an upgrade 00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:16.800 to their V6 cooler obviously and it has 00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:20.439 muscle unlike me. Okay, so it is 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:23.279 compatible with Intel LGA 1366 1156 and 00:00:20.439 --> 00:00:27.840 775. It's also compatible with AMD AM3, AM2 and AM2 Plus. So it's compatible 00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:31.599 with pretty much every modern socket out there right now. And by pretty much I do 00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:35.040 mean all. You can see through there's like a engine looking thing and they've 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 00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:43.360 quick look at what they have to say about it on the packaging outside. So 00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:45.760 far, not a whole lot. Uh here it is. 00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:50.719 Okay, so it is highly dense and tilted aluminum fins. So you can expect this to 00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:53.520 perform best with a high uh static pressure fan. And I'm actually just 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 00:00:55.199 --> 00:01:03.199 product rather than talk about it while we're looking at the box. Ooh, this 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:06.000 looks cool, actually. Here it is. The V6 00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:10.000 GT. Apparently perfect for case modders. Oh, I was half expecting this to be like 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:13.680 a fan speed controller, but it's not. That's a good idea, actually. I should 00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:18.000 suggest that to somebody. Okay, so on either side, we've got Cooler Masters. 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 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:25.600 of a a wave shape to the fins, which 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:30.400 apparently gives you better performance. Okay, so that's great. It includes their 00:01:27.759 --> 00:01:35.439 their latest fans. You flip it over. So, you can see that the fins are indeed 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:39.000 quite densely packed and it does feature 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:41.600 six discrete heat pipes. Now, these are 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:46.640 relatively Oh, okay. No, that's okay. Never mind. As soon as I move this, that 00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:48.479 fan will spin. There we go. So, it 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:51.040 features six discreet heat pipes. Now, they're not the thick heat pipes, but 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:55.439 there are so many of them, I can't imagine that it matters all of that 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 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 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 00:02:05.759 --> 00:02:10.640 two fans, one is pushing air into the 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 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:20.480 arrangement, that is the best way to set it up because pushpull doesn't actually 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 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 00:02:28.239 --> 00:02:37.840 these fins in the way. So, we've got one adapter that basically takes a 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:40.480 PWM fan header on your motherboard, 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:47.120 preferably your CPU one, and then turns it into two PWM fans headers for the 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:51.680 cooler itself. So, it's sleeved, so you could kind of like tuck this one under 00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:54.560 the heat sink like that, and then have it just come out with the the sleeved 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 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:04.239 here. And I'm at a bit of a loss for um 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 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:12.360 look at what we've got in terms of installation instructions and 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:17.120 accessories. So, we've got a users manual. Okay, that's quite small. Then 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:23.120 we have a warranty card, also quite small. And then we have a less small 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:24.560 users manual. Okay, that's in a bunch of 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:29.760 different languages. And it gives you a little picture guide of how to install 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:34.720 on all the different sockets, including Oh, this is good. You can actually 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:36.799 install the AM2 AM3 in either direction. 00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:42.480 So, you're not married to one way or the other. Uh because remember, the AM3 00:03:39.440 --> 00:03:44.480 mounting equipment is not square. So, 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 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, 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:56.760 especially on camera. That seems like it might be quite challenging. Maybe it's 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 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:07.200 a matter of pressing this button. No, that button does something, 00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:11.599 though. And we're going to find out what it does before this video is 00:04:09.799 --> 00:04:14.239 through. Maybe that's what you're waiting for. Maybe that's why you're 00:04:12.799 --> 00:04:18.239 still watching the video, so you can find out what exactly that button does. 00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:24.080 I suspect it's something to do with lights. I'll say that much. 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:27.759 Okay. Apparently, it is not really designed to be easily taken apart. 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 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:35.199 difficult, but I'm just having trouble. So, why don't we do our our obligatory 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:39.040 finger shot thing here to see the shininess of the base, cuz everyone 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 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 00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:50.479 actually a um a convex base. So, that's 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:53.919 designed to get better mounting pressure against the CPU. There you go. You can 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 00:04:57.080 --> 00:05:04.960 uh the space under my desk. Okay, just follow me. So, my 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:10.160 office is two doors down from the cameraman, which you probably don't 00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:14.639 already know, unless you're a super creeper. Uh, okay. So, I'm just going to 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 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. 00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:29.120 So, we'll plug in this power supply. This is my random fan testing power 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 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:40.080 find out what it does. Okay, so far nothing. Now, we're 00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:42.000 going to press the button. Oh, check it 00:05:40.080 --> 00:05:49.199 out. It's red. So, there is a red LED light strip that 00:05:45.039 --> 00:05:51.800 goes down the top of the V6 GT cooler. 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:56.880 Or blue. Oh, I like it. Purple or nothing? Red, blue, purple, or 00:05:55.039 --> 00:06:02.560 nothing. I personally would choose this one cuz I think that looks sweet. And uh 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 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:09.280 fans are LED, too. But okay, here. Just 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 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 00:06:14.960 --> 00:06:21.120 pin PWM fan header that splits out into 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 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:29.560 it is uh under full 100% load. So, 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. 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:38.720 And what's interesting actually is that compared to um standing or sitting or 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 00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:48.319 the side, you actually hear it a lot less. 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 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 00:06:54.720 --> 00:07:01.039 would look like if you installed it in a computer, which maybe I'll do later. 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:04.560 Purple. Yeah. Okay. So, there. That's my video on the V6 GT from Cooler Master. 00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:12.120 Thank you for checking it out. And don't forget to It's upside 00:07:07.400 --> 00:07:12.120 down.
