WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.279 Rajentech is trying to change the game up with their Triton CPU cooler. 00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:10.160 All-in-one coolers have been mostly rocking black tubes since basically the 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:14.160 dawn of time. So, including clear tubes and the ability to dye the included 00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:18.880 liquid yourself or pre- purchase it pre-dyed is a bold move. Cotton, let's 00:00:17.119 --> 00:00:22.160 see how it pays off. Stay subscribed to Linus Tech Tips for probably more 00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:25.160 cooling videos as we get into the summer season. 00:00:31.119 --> 00:00:37.280 The Cooler Master Nova Touch TKL utilizes genuine Toper Hybrid capacitive 00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:41.440 switches and is now available at a more affordable price. Click now to learn 00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:45.840 more. Let's start with a physical tour of the Triton. One could easily say that 00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:49.920 this is the best looking AL cooler out there currently. The first thing you 00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:55.120 should notice is the completely clear tubing and CPU block. This allows for 00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:58.800 more than just aesthetic purposes, as letting you see the coolant moving 00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:03.039 around and the pump actually working is pretty cool. Its tubing can be a big 00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:08.240 draw, but what isn't described is just how flexible, smooth, and soft the tubes 00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:12.479 are. And that's not necessarily a good thing. They're so flexible, in fact, 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:16.880 that while it does allow for far easier installation and positioning of the 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:20.880 block, radiator, and tubing, they kink extremely easily. So easily, in fact, 00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:25.200 that they may be fine while it's installed. in most configurations, but 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 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:32.720 installation process. The mounting hardware is very solid and has some good 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:35.920 weight to it, and it happens to look good, which is kind of great as well 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.320 because it will complement that beautiful reservoir. But now on to the 00:01:38.479 --> 00:01:44.799 main feature of this whole video, the pump, CPU block, and reservoir. The 00:01:43.119 --> 00:01:48.560 reservoir has a fill port for easy access and fittings that are easily 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:54.720 removable and expandable into other parts of your system like your GPU. You 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:58.640 could in fact color the included liquid and that's exactly what Regentech 00:01:56.720 --> 00:02:03.360 planned. They included three colors of dye in the box, red, green, and blue. In 00:02:01.759 --> 00:02:07.680 case that's too much tinkering for your blood, which is unlikely, but anyways, 00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:10.879 don't worry. Regent has you covered with two other models of the Triton. They 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 00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:19.200 later, and also has no added dyes. The 00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:24.239 next model is the Triton RGB, which is pretty self-explanatory. These models 00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:25.360 come pre-colored in RG or B, so you 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 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 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:39.440 right on the web page is that opening the fill port on your cooler voids your 00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:43.920 warranty and they hold no responsibility for damages caused by the dyes. That 00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:47.680 being said, this shouldn't be too surprising as it would be very easy for 00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:51.360 an inexperienced builder to wreck their system once that port is opened. Since I 00:02:50.239 --> 00:02:56.319 mentioned them earlier, I should probably talk about the included fans. 00:02:53.360 --> 00:03:00.160 They are actually pretty decent as experienced in our testing. They push a 00:02:58.239 --> 00:03:03.599 fair amount of air and are decently quiet. Where things start to get a bit 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:08.000 different and strange is the fact that the fans are actually tethered together 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:12.239 at the cable that terminates in one three pin fan connector instead of two. 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:16.480 The reason why they did this was done is because they included an inline fan 00:03:14.239 --> 00:03:21.840 controller, which is actually pretty cool in theory, but I have concerns. For 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:25.760 example, there are no numbers or symbols telling you what speed or voltage the 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:29.920 fans are running at. and you have to open up your side panel every time you 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:34.720 need to adjust your fan speed, which can get very annoying. I would have 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 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 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 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:53.840 the CPU block to make it a little bit safer, and then mostly just some flimsy 00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:56.080 cardboard for the rest. Yet again, I had 00:03:53.840 --> 00:04:00.480 some concerns. Upon researching the cooler and reading customer reviews on 00:03:57.760 --> 00:04:07.439 Amazon, Newegg, and NCX.com, there were tons of cases of dead on arrival or 00:04:03.519 --> 00:04:10.000 leaky coolers. Not cool. Anyways, it's 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:14.080 now results time. As you see in the graphs, the Triton manages to do very 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:18.720 well with our Noctua NF12 strapped to it. And even beating out the H100i by a 00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:23.520 little bit. The stock fans are running at 1100 RPM were not very audible at 00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:27.759 all, which is great. But as you can see, their performance wasn't necessarily 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:32.000 anything to write home about, which is not too surprising due to the their 00:04:29.919 --> 00:04:35.840 stellar audio levels. While the Triton may not be the best performing cooler 00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:39.520 out there, it definitely gets you to a very comfortable temperature and easily 00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:44.080 enters the expected range of temperatures for a 240 mm cooler while 00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:48.400 being one hell of a looker. In conclusion, this is one hell of a sexy 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 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:55.600 looking for aftermarket cooling these days anyways. So that might be fine. If 00:04:53.759 --> 00:05:00.080 you're not interested in aesthetics or have an opaque side panel, then this may 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:05.680 not be the cooler for you. Dead on arrival issues are nothing to scoff at. 00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:07.680 And if you can fit a 280 mm rad in, then 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:11.600 definitely go with that, which I guess is true for pretty much any 240 mm 00:05:09.919 --> 00:05:14.880 cooler if you're not going for aesthetics. Personally, I really dig 00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:19.360 that you can change the colors of this bad boy. And I like that you can 00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:22.560 actually easily drain it to either color match to a different build in the future 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:26.160 or just go back to colorless if you please. I'm very happy to see Triton 00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:30.400 bringing coolers in this direction. Clear tubes and custom colors is a bit 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 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:38.639 out. Speaking of looking good, Dollar Shave Club. Dollar Shave Club is a great 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:42.800 way to get razors and other bathroom supplies shipped directly to your door 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 00:05:44.479 --> 00:05:50.800 community members who use them everyday and love the smooth shave that they get 00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:54.639 no matter how thick or potentially coarse their facial hair may be. For 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 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 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:06.319 good shave from Dollar Shave Club's razors. They're pretty darn nice. On top 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:10.240 of the razors, they also have Dr. Carver's shave butter, which goes on 00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:13.759 smooth and clear, so you can see what you're doing, which is kind of 00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:18.400 fantastic, and their peppermint scented buttwipes for men for those of you over 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:21.520 in North America that can't get to a bedet.
