  • experience, Artie X and Deal Assess with a free deliverance The moon game with the purchase of any E v g a g Force R TX enabled graphics card To see the full lineup of our T X enabled video cards from a BJ.

  • And to learn more about this free game offer head to the link in the description below.

  • So this is the A 500 from my point is my knife is broken.

  • Okay, that sucks.

  • This is a 500 from course there.

  • They launched this at C.

  • E s.

  • We were not there because we took this year off, But I'm curious what happens when a company like course there that started making memory and then made perforate, peripherals, peripherals, referrals and then started making water Cooling parts is not making air coolers.

  • I don't know if this is a no EMR odium of some sort of.

  • This is like their own design, but regardless, we're gonna take a look today at a 500 air cooler.

  • From course there were boxing it together.

  • First impressions are everything together.

  • So here's what you get in the box.

  • You have some tissue paper, so I'm assuming this is gonna be mounting brackets, and then we've got have a cheap inter plastic.

  • I guess I would expect this baby foam or something.

  • But who cares?

  • As long as it gets to where it's going, doesn't break apart or fall apart.

  • Get damaged.

  • How?

  • Dude, this is beefy.

  • Another screwdriver.

  • It's like someone's been watching.

  • Be quiet.

  • For starters, we'll talk about the appearance of it.

  • So this is, Ah, a kind of brushed metal with the textured mental in the round on the outside, it looks like this is just textured metal.

  • Then they cut it right?

  • So that's how you get that just magnetic.

  • Yeah, it is.

  • Meg makes nah, pick.

  • It snaps down.

  • So that's how you get down toe.

  • Put the screws and stuff in there.

  • So obviously, there's 1234 heat pipes.

  • I'm assuming that's gonna be a vapor chamber.

  • Then you could see right there there honey comb or their grid pre installed thermal paste is already on there, so this should be really, really simple.

  • Something else that this particular cooler is known for two is the fact that these fans are able to move up and down this track, and I also like the fact that you can take these off easily.

  • Always, you get a better look at the design of the actual Vince Decker.

  • It there we can see it's got these kind of a spring loaded little tabs.

  • I hear that fit into these grooves inside of the Fan Mount.

  • So that allows you if you have Tall RAM, to be able to slide your fan up without having to deal with the stupid clips and stuff like we're fighting with with the be quiet.

  • So let's say, for instance, we got some ran the impacts there.

  • We could actually just slide that up comes with what appears to be their very basic, um, same fans you find would like their air coolers and sets.

  • What is a static pressure fan?

  • It's if only it were black.

  • I think it would fit perfectly with this, but you can easily change just like light loops or something like that, and another, and that I don't think it's a whole lot to talk about.

  • It does come in like I said, it's own screwdriver.

  • So that's how you get down to the mounting springs or screws.

  • Very simple actually looks like it's mostly assembled for you, so you don't have to put the fans on, you know, to put the stupid it'll springs on the brackets or any of that in terms of mounting retention system fits most aimed and internal until CPS Table, which I am d is have tr four or only am for work.

  • Okay, and four.

  • I am three and AM, too.

  • L g a 20 x x with Sesame Ali 2066 2011.

  • You're 11 50 x So pretty much every intel be included right here.

  • I got a tube of thermal pace, this air x t m 50 and then we've got three Zip ties as well as a P W M fan splitter.

  • So it's a single to duel because there's two fans here.

  • So if your family has one header or you want to obviously have both fans weren't at the same speed.

  • You split it off the same header for your CPU or CPU, optional or whatever, Phyllis saying it's kind of nice to give you an extra Tate tuba thermal paste, almost an extra tape of thermal post.

  • That's because obviously with that, that great on the bottom.

  • If you mess that up, then you're not like, Oh man, know what?

  • So at least you have something you'll have to give you that, but they do, so that's nice.

  • So with that, let's get this water block off here.

  • It's got this installed.

  • See how well it cools?

  • It's kind of exciting because air coolers have definitely been getting better.

  • And because of that, it's been making more people able to experience the fun of water cooling.

  • And such are over clocking without having to go water cooling, which back in the day was a requirement, but not so much anymore.

  • So now, when install it, obviously on Intel Chip set, which I feel I could be the harder install.

  • I don't aim.

  • He's got little space with things but whatever.

  • So I take this ill backing plate stickers off.

  • So I fixed.

  • It also has tweezers amusing now, so if you just really stuck on there may not even be me.

  • So it's going a little bit harder because it's on the test bench.

  • I can't really see behind with a standard case.

  • It probably be creating sample now.

  • This is the part I was just saying, like if you have to determine which way you want the cooler to be going.

  • So in this case, it would be going like front and back like that, which I think would be perfectly fine.

  • Doesn't look it impact with our graphics card at all.

  • Do you see Right there?

  • It's not even coming close to our V R.

  • M.

  • But Ram could potentially be a problem.

  • So that means that we get to try out that little nifty slider deal bobber thing on there, huh?

  • What we're doing is the idiot installed method where if it can survive me doing it without looking at the manual, then it means it can survive anyone doing it.

  • For all of these mounts, all the screw threads stop prior to causing any damage to anything.

  • So with the motherboard mounting mechanism, cooler mountain mechanism like these screws going down through here, just block him out.

  • They're not gonna over Titan.

  • Anything you want to talk about?

  • Like like a glove.

  • So now we could take our fans and we know that the air always move moves to through the cage rather than that way.

  • Maybe if we blow through That way we can blow some air on the back of the graphics card there.

  • And then now you'll get to see how lucky we really kind of got with this cooler clearing this ram and stuff they're So now you can see, like this is where a standard cooler you just be like, Oh, man, I gotta take my ram out.

  • But you could just unplug your fan.

  • And what do that?

  • This is the kind of stuff that makes me go you want.

  • I will go ahead and do a video about this cooler because it's different.

  • No one else has anything like that.

  • The that the stupid clip retention system, which I hate with a passion here, won't we?

  • Time it.

  • Well, put it back when we time.

  • How long?

  • Actually, you will take me to get the ram out.

  • Great at three to what, 8.24 seconds.

  • Now, granted, I'm on a test bench standing in front of the system like, already torn apart.

  • But the thing is, you could do the very same thing with the tower on the side panels off.

  • That's a cool design course.

  • There you get a plus in my book for that one, because this is one of the things I've personally always hated about.

  • Air cooling, especially with these big towers, is just how much of a pain in the butt they can be when it comes to your room.

  • Now, my question now is gonna be the way that this RAM is pushing on the cooler slightly.

  • Is that gonna cause me any sort of cooling issue?

  • If it's lifting the cooler a little bit, I don't think that'll be a problem.

  • It's really not like it's not lifting it.

  • Really.

  • One thing that keeps said it.

  • Consider, though we're going this way, I think it's a big enough gap for aired still make it out of there.

  • I don't think it will affect too much, but that's a legitimate thing to consider right now.

  • The loud fans you might be hearing or actually the radiator fans.

  • I don't think Mike's picking it up, but there is ah hum coming from loud fans.

  • It's not the cooler, it's the radiator.

  • Since I unplugged it, it's not getting a Paedo Am signal, which is now defaulting to 100%.

  • So here's hardware monitor these This is our core temp right here.

  • Our core clocks were down here.

  • I've got it locked in performance mode for five gigs.

  • It doesn't move from that.

  • Um, talking.

  • We're looking at here, obviously, is our core temperatures cause that matters most to do That one of the stress tests we like to do run here.

  • Sentiments are 20 on a 10 minute loop, but we're looking at here.

  • Whoa.

  • I don't think it's making good contact.

  • So I think maybe that memory might be lifting a little bit.

  • So let's go ahead and rotate it.

  • You think?

  • I mean, it made contact, but it's not great.

  • So we're gonna be putting on their thermal pace that they provided us.

  • Now you know why they provide that thermal pay.

  • So it's still gonna be a legit test because it's their thermal compound.

  • So I'm gonna rotate these two brackets to like that, and then we'll reassess the impact it's having as you could see, this office, and they're just fine.

  • So we were not able to get our trying Z on there.

  • So now we want the air to go that way so we could just be like you honest.

  • That's I love this fan milking system.

  • Holy crap!

  • That is so awesome.

  • So obviously, if you have Tall Ram, it's something consider.

  • And I could have put the gravis card back over there.

  • Now the only thing I feel like the school is missing honestly is lighting.

  • I feel like a brand like course there.

  • I'm surprised I did not rgb the crap out of that.

  • So because we're clear, see Moscow, The different memory.

  • Everything set, uh, five gigahertz, turning off a VX offset.

  • I want a public with heat into.

  • This is I can once again 10 minute test and go Now Let's not forget we're on an air cooled CPU being pushed to five gigahertz.

  • The 900 k is known to be hot.

  • This is also a VX instruction, which I have turned to zero, which means it did not offset negative clock.

  • So three would be 300 megahertz negative clock.

  • So if it goes Oh, this is a navy ex instruction.

  • We're going down clock by 300 megahertz.

  • So would be 4.7 all core.

  • Now, we're not doing that.

  • We're letting it completely see how hot it could go Now this is one of those like this particular test underwater, usually sitting in the seventies.

  • Sometimes the eighties, some high sixties on the cores is quite a temperature spread on this particular CPU.

  • As you can see, we have not hit any sort of throttling whatsoever.

  • We're still five year hurts.

  • The temperatures are very well under control.

  • Albeit this is not something I would like run all day long.

  • Every day of my workload consisted of this type of task.

  • Our 20 that's that's Ah, uh, it's a torture test.

  • Nine.

  • A stress test, to be honest, that's why I like we can run three d mark and get like those world record scores like we were last year and then not even have a a single hope of actually running our lesson event because it will crash like immediately.

  • So it's one of those things where the fact that we were running for gigs or five gigs with this air cooler for pretty impressive So let's see, we're getting here now.

  • Yeah, so you could see this is a much more realistic type of temperature torture test, and this is a CPU test like this is also a VX instruction.

  • So that just really goes to show you how incredibly difficult Senate bench can be on your CPU when it comes to temperatures.

  • That's why I also use it.

  • Eventually loops, looping when testing my water loops and stuff because it's literally the worst case scenario.

  • Yeah, and that it's only gonna get better, too, as a thermal paste kind of yours and get a little bit harder and makes a better bond between the medals.

  • People don't realize this thermal paces at its worst when you first apply it, and then once you get nice and hot and then let it cool down, then it sort of solidifies.

  • And then it's even better.

  • So one of the things you could do to with thermal paste like we just had to change it, obviously using the one they applied.

  • Do a burning test like this.

  • Maybe do like 10 15 minutes, get it nice and hot so it can kind of get running and get into all the voids.

  • And then what you do is you turn off your system and let it cool for a couple hours to, like, truly turn into that paste.

  • Then you'll notice the temperatures or a lot better.

  • Yeah, so that was pretty good.

  • Now let's go ahead and do a more standard, like just a GPU test with a CPU showing on screen.

  • So I would expect maybe add 10 seat to those temperatures for actual gaming load.

  • Like if you're playing a game that has, you know, things happen in the background.

  • RPG use that sort of stuff.

  • Um, I think it's pretty obvious that this cooler definitely is gonna rank up there and we need more user feedback.

  • We need more people to buy it, obviously, and report on their experiences.

  • But I think this is gonna definitely rank up there with, like, the knock to us and the be quiet, dark rock pros and stuff like that.

  • It is a twin cooling tower, 220 millimeter fans and push pull, and clearly it's got the amount of Finn stack you would need to give you plenty of surface area toe dissipate that heat, and his fans aren't even ramping up because they're not under enough load.

  • Me looked at 40 c 41 42 46 40.

  • Let's talk about some final thoughts.

  • One.

  • I think it's gonna rank up there.

  • No problem with the knock to us and be quiet and all that sort of stuff.

  • Um, the issue we had with the Ram This is not Corsairs fall.

  • It's this particular nontraditional layout of this motherboard.

  • We kind of look at it.

  • We realized, like, okay, if the sea the memory was over here.

  • You know that CPU socket?

  • Like I said, a square.

  • So no matter which way you rotated, it's gonna be in the same spot.

  • But the memory were over here would be farther away from the CPU socket, meaning it would be interfering with the fan, which is adjustable like we talked about and not the bottom of the heat sink.

  • So that's this petition particular nontraditional motherboard layout that caused that it was easily rectify a ble for us to just switch to the ballistics memory because we have standard height memory laying around, obviously because we were computer building channel.

  • But that doesn't mean everyone does so.

  • Try to Z didn't fit on this motherboard with this cooler.

  • So that's one thing to consider if you're running this motherboard, low profile memory or standard high profile memories what you're gonna need, but the actual adjustment of the fans themselves.

  • If this was a traditional layout, we could have easily just would've fit right there.

  • No problem whatsoever.

  • So I really, really like this particular mechanism here.

  • I also I'm looking at this going.

  • This would be pretty cool for, like, a future, Ma, because this could be taken off and painted.

  • You can paint the fan mounts mechanism and not have to paint the fins, which could reduce its efficiency and cooling because of insulating factors of paint on metal, he sinks.

  • But you can also change out these fans toe led fans.

  • If you want RGB fans, and then you would get the light up aspect that you would probably expect with this particular cooler.

  • So that brings us to the very last talking point.

  • And that is price.

  • Well, it's $99 putting at the exact same price of the N H D 15 which is the all black knock to a cooler and the same prices, like some of the cooler master giant coolers.

  • State prices like that, it's actually more expensive than the dark rock dark Brooke prose writer on the same prices This so it definitely has some steep competition.

  • Well established competition in air coolers in the industry that people have just been completely trusted.

  • People put their trust in knock to a people put their trust in dark rock.

  • They've been around people.

  • No, they perform just as good as many a iose.

  • So, really, it's gonna come down to whether or not you are going to trust course there.

  • So I think we need to have a lot more user feedback on what it's been like for them.

  • I don't stay.

  • I don't see this going bad.

  • I don't see it not working out for people.

  • I think the biggest complaint here is the great fan for me.

  • Personally, I think that these were black.

  • It would just look perfect.

  • The gray is gonna clash with a lot of things.

  • But you know how we do things around here?

  • A little spray paint can fix that.

  • So I think it performs extremely well.

  • So this is where you guys chime in.

  • Do you like the features that you see here, this removable cover that you can customize and cane to match your theme?

  • Um, this sliding mechanism for the fan, which I keep coming back to because it's really awesome.

  • And I hate, hate, hate the clips that are found on the like, the dark rock pros and the not to us that the performance of those are fantastic.

  • I just hate those clips.

  • This is where you guys China, and what would you change about this cooler if you could change anything and do you think the price is right?

  • Come on down in the comments and tell us so there you go, guys want to share you with you Another air cooler.

  • But I have no problems recommending to my audience.

  • It's not an Air Corps.

  • A water cooler.

  • It isn't air cooler.

  • It's not a water cooler.

  • But you know, no one is perfect.

  • So we'll see you guys in the next one.
