Rajentech is trying to change the game up with their Triton CPU cooler.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:10,160
All-in-one coolers have been mostly rocking black tubes since basically the

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,160
dawn of time. So, including clear tubes and the ability to dye the included

4
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:18,880
liquid yourself or pre- purchase it pre-dyed is a bold move. Cotton, let's

5
00:00:17,119 --> 00:00:22,160
see how it pays off. Stay subscribed to Linus Tech Tips for probably more

The Cooler Master Nova Touch TKL utilizes genuine Toper Hybrid capacitive

switches and is now available at a more affordable price. Click now to learn

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:45,840
more. Let's start with a physical tour of the Triton. One could easily say that

10
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:49,920
this is the best looking AL cooler out there currently. The first thing you

11
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:55,120
should notice is the completely clear tubing and CPU block. This allows for

12
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:58,800
more than just aesthetic purposes, as letting you see the coolant moving

13
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:03,039
around and the pump actually working is pretty cool. Its tubing can be a big

14
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:08,240
draw, but what isn't described is just how flexible, smooth, and soft the tubes

15
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:12,479
are. And that's not necessarily a good thing. They're so flexible, in fact,

16
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,880
that while it does allow for far easier installation and positioning of the

17
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:20,880
block, radiator, and tubing, they kink extremely easily. So easily, in fact,

18
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:25,200
that they may be fine while it's installed. in most configurations, but

19
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:28,960
I'm also willing to bet that many users will kink them a few times during the

20
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,720
installation process. The mounting hardware is very solid and has some good

21
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:35,920
weight to it, and it happens to look good, which is kind of great as well

22
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,320
because it will complement that beautiful reservoir. But now on to the

23
00:01:38,479 --> 00:01:44,799
main feature of this whole video, the pump, CPU block, and reservoir. The

24
00:01:43,119 --> 00:01:48,560
reservoir has a fill port for easy access and fittings that are easily

25
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:54,720
removable and expandable into other parts of your system like your GPU. You

26
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:58,640
could in fact color the included liquid and that's exactly what Regentech

27
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:03,360
planned. They included three colors of dye in the box, red, green, and blue. In

28
00:02:01,759 --> 00:02:07,680
case that's too much tinkering for your blood, which is unlikely, but anyways,

29
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,879
don't worry. Regent has you covered with two other models of the Triton. They

30
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:16,959
have the Triton Core, which is the only model that doesn't come with the included fans, which we'll talk about

31
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:19,200
later, and also has no added dyes. The

32
00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:24,239
next model is the Triton RGB, which is pretty self-explanatory. These models

33
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,360
come pre-colored in RG or B, so you

34
00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:30,239
don't have to worry about possibly making a mess, losing your liquid, or screwing up your pump. And it's a good

35
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:35,599
thing that they include this model in their lineup because there's a big sanity check here by Triton. stated

36
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:39,440
right on the web page is that opening the fill port on your cooler voids your

37
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:43,920
warranty and they hold no responsibility for damages caused by the dyes. That

38
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:47,680
being said, this shouldn't be too surprising as it would be very easy for

39
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:51,360
an inexperienced builder to wreck their system once that port is opened. Since I

40
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:56,319
mentioned them earlier, I should probably talk about the included fans.

41
00:02:53,360 --> 00:03:00,160
They are actually pretty decent as experienced in our testing. They push a

42
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:03,599
fair amount of air and are decently quiet. Where things start to get a bit

43
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,000
different and strange is the fact that the fans are actually tethered together

44
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:12,239
at the cable that terminates in one three pin fan connector instead of two.

45
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:16,480
The reason why they did this was done is because they included an inline fan

46
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:21,840
controller, which is actually pretty cool in theory, but I have concerns. For

47
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:25,760
example, there are no numbers or symbols telling you what speed or voltage the

48
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:29,920
fans are running at. and you have to open up your side panel every time you

49
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:34,720
need to adjust your fan speed, which can get very annoying. I would have

50
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:39,120
appreciated it if even a like one to five marking was on it, so you would be

51
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:43,280
more clear in the end. Let's backtrack a bit to the box this came in. When you

52
00:03:40,959 --> 00:03:47,360
open the box, you're greeted by one tiny piece of closed cell foam over top of

53
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:53,840
the CPU block to make it a little bit safer, and then mostly just some flimsy

54
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:56,080
cardboard for the rest. Yet again, I had

55
00:03:53,840 --> 00:04:00,480
some concerns. Upon researching the cooler and reading customer reviews on

56
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:07,439
Amazon, Newegg, and NCX.com, there were tons of cases of dead on arrival or

57
00:04:03,519 --> 00:04:10,000
leaky coolers. Not cool. Anyways, it's

58
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:14,080
now results time. As you see in the graphs, the Triton manages to do very

59
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:18,720
well with our Noctua NF12 strapped to it. And even beating out the H100i by a

60
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:23,520
little bit. The stock fans are running at 1100 RPM were not very audible at

61
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:27,759
all, which is great. But as you can see, their performance wasn't necessarily

62
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:32,000
anything to write home about, which is not too surprising due to the their

63
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:35,840
stellar audio levels. While the Triton may not be the best performing cooler

64
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:39,520
out there, it definitely gets you to a very comfortable temperature and easily

65
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:44,080
enters the expected range of temperatures for a 240 mm cooler while

66
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:48,400
being one hell of a looker. In conclusion, this is one hell of a sexy

67
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:50,960
cooler. And that seems to be a lot of what people are going for when they're

68
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:55,600
looking for aftermarket cooling these days anyways. So that might be fine. If

69
00:04:53,759 --> 00:05:00,080
you're not interested in aesthetics or have an opaque side panel, then this may

70
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:05,680
not be the cooler for you. Dead on arrival issues are nothing to scoff at.

71
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,680
And if you can fit a 280 mm rad in, then

72
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:11,600
definitely go with that, which I guess is true for pretty much any 240 mm

73
00:05:09,919 --> 00:05:14,880
cooler if you're not going for aesthetics. Personally, I really dig

74
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:19,360
that you can change the colors of this bad boy. And I like that you can

75
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:22,560
actually easily drain it to either color match to a different build in the future

76
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:26,160
or just go back to colorless if you please. I'm very happy to see Triton

77
00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:30,400
bringing coolers in this direction. Clear tubes and custom colors is a bit

78
00:05:28,479 --> 00:05:34,960
of a gamble for them and I'm happy to see that so far it seems to be playing

79
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:38,639
out. Speaking of looking good, Dollar Shave Club. Dollar Shave Club is a great

80
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:42,800
way to get razors and other bathroom supplies shipped directly to your door

81
00:05:40,479 --> 00:05:47,120
for only a few bucks a month. The razors are high quality and we have a ton of

82
00:05:44,479 --> 00:05:50,800
community members who use them everyday and love the smooth shave that they get

83
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,639
no matter how thick or potentially coarse their facial hair may be. For

84
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:59,360
some reason, this comes as a shock to many people out there, but yes, I know I

85
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,720
have facial hair, but I do still shave. And I would say that I definitely get a

86
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,319
good shave from Dollar Shave Club's razors. They're pretty darn nice. On top

87
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:10,240
of the razors, they also have Dr. Carver's shave butter, which goes on

88
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,759
smooth and clear, so you can see what you're doing, which is kind of

89
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:18,400
fantastic, and their peppermint scented buttwipes for men for those of you over

90
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,520
in North America that can't get to a bedet. So, check out everything that
