 Welcome to my unboxing and first look oh it fell at the Phanteks PHTC 9D LS this is a low profile cooler from Phanteks and the last cooler we looked at from them was anything but low profile it was like a huge like tower thing and came in a variety of colors let's see what they have to say for themselves about this one so supports LGA 2011, LGA 1155 and 1156 it's low profile wow it's a low profile that's a low profile LGA 2011 cooler especially given there's like six core processors on there so their patented physical antioxidant thermal shield technology dramatically increases the cooling performance and reliability by deflecting thermal radiation from other heat sources non-toxic able to withstand temperatures of up to 200 degrees this is only 27 millimeters tall or 45 millimeters with a fan and compatible small form factor cases with a 45 millimeter clearance the three six millimeter heat pipes are aligned to interrupt I didn't even see the heat pipes okay the PHF 90 PWM premium fan uses U updraft floating balance bearing I've never even heard of that before so I guess that makes it quiet eliminates vibration and provides a simple solution for quiet and smart fan control takes only less than a minute to install thanks to the provided mounting kit and only requires four screws and made of high purity ah yes their thermal compound is like a diamond compound like something like an IC ICS compound cold plasma spraying coating technology is a new innovative deposit that transfers heat onto corresponding metals at a more rapid rate enhances the thermal conductivity of the soldered connectors and whatnot and who ha let's see what kind of a um tdp it's rated up to it looks like we don't ah yeah up to 130 watt tdp so in theory this thing can handle six cores updraft floating balance bearing up to from 1000 to 2500 rpm and at 19 to 26 decibels is the actual rated thing we got going so here's this floating bearing fan which I'm sort of interested to check out so I guess so it's something to do with the actual force that it exerts down on sort of the air lifts it a little bit and reduces the overall friction so that's sort of neat I don't know how well that would work sideways or sideways or would it yeah no it should still move it away so okay here's a back plate for lga 1155 and 1156 very sturdy very thick that's about what you'd want okay more more packing materials here more accessories in a box and let's see what we got so I guess more mounting gear so here is an accessory for presumably fan mounting okay next is screws for lga 1155 and 1156 and finally screws for lga 2011 then a nice big thing of included thermal compound very nice okay now we have there we go the heat sink itself which is okay how exactly does this work so there's in theory three heat pipes in there here maybe you'll be able to see them a little bit better down there so there's a thick base that has there see you can see that these aren't just bare metal these have that coating that they're talking about that apparently reflects heat away from this and then also allows heat to be conducted more more better sort of off of them by the air so you mount this just by using the included bits and pieces so you kind of have it on there and they're saying that they're saying this thing's capable of cooling a six core the base is machine smooth so you can do the obligatory sort of finger shot here thing and then it's a sort of a raised base and then attached to the larger base that actually also acts as a mounting plate and this sort of merits some some testing at some point in the future here guys to find out how well this could handle something like a six core because I mean in something like our shuttle pc over there that has an extreme addition in it something like this if it performs better than the included cooler could be absolutely amazing and would make more space for cable management and for cooling of other components inside the case as well so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the Phanteks PHTC90LS which is a low profile cooler for Intel sockets it also includes a little instruction manual here that gives you all the information you need about how to install the fan clips and all that good stuff don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos.
