 So today I'm going to be doing a quick unboxing of the silo next I extreme a pro series heat pipe CPU cooler So this is the I XC 92 ha2 So I'm going to hold that a little bit closer to the camera or better yet I could use this particular little trick of mine where I have a little remote that will zoom in on it Ah ha no camera man today, but I don't need one So it is less than 18 decibels according to silent exit supports all Intel sockets including 775 and AMD socket Wow 754 and am 2 so that means you've got support for 775 and to am 3 and you can see that There's another little sticker on here that says Intel core i7 compatible if it would focus there it goes So Intel core i7 compatible that means that it is compatible with LGA 1366 as well This is a 92 millimeter version designed for smaller cases So why don't we have a look at yeah? Let's have a look at this side of the box as well So I'm going to do this is evening thing again. Sorry everyone Alright, so first of all this is a heat pipe direct touch heat sink and at the time this was a Big deal, but it uses 8 millimeter versus 6 millimeter on they're saying most competing products heat pipes that means that it can transfer more heat faster next of all it uses the latest generation of silent X extreme a pro fans and Lastly 38 tightly spaced aluminum fans offer nearly a class-leading 5000 centimeter square of surface area let's go around to the back where it just has a little bit more about the basic specs as Well as some come on focus you can do it No, you can't do it okay as well as the compatibility info, which is horrendously updated, okay? So why don't we open this thing up and find out just what is inside? So I'm going to go ahead and point that kind of there and then oh This is brutal not having someone operating the camera. What are you going to do? Okay? Let's get the box open So the first thing we find inside you can see that they have packed in an LGA 1366 bracket All right there it is and then the next thing you'll find is they have got a little instruction sheet here, so that covers the Intel installation procedure All right, so they show you you put the top bracket down you put four screws through and it uses a backplate I love mounting systems that have a backplate. It's just so much more secure than trying to use push pins Next we have LGA 775 then we have our four mounting screws, and then we have what else do we got in here? All right, we have this one's in color too, so this is the installation guide for 754 939 940 and AM2 so this will also apply to AM3 so that's in color and everything check that out Very nice Very nice indeed Okay, what's next? Second here how to pull that back up here is a piece of double-sided tape. I don't know what it's for yet Maybe we'll figure it out. Maybe we won't Digging further in Okay, so ah here is the backplate for gee Well, which mounting system is this for? Because it doesn't look like it's compatible with both 775 and 1366 so oh Okay, I was mistaken the 775 version uses the plastic push pins whereas the 1366 version Uses a bolt through so this backplate is for the 1366 version, okay? I get it now. Oh, and we figured out what the what the double-sided tape is for it's for this fan speed controller So the cable for the fan speed controller is also here. It's just kind of loose in the box. It's not The best package that I've ever seen a product, but I mean it's not like any of this is fragile I'm going to be damaged So you just plug this in on the one side here You just kind of line it up so that it goes in like that and then at the one end this goes into your motherboard Header or into a molex to three pin adapter and then this plugs into your fan And then you can use this little dial here to adjust the fan speed very cool. Okay next we have um Okay, we've got a little Baggie of thermal compound as well as four push pins I'm going to go ahead and assume that those are for a AX and two and two plus in three next they include not only two Fan wire clips, but four so that means that besides the 92 millimeter fan included You can also mount an additional 92 millimeter fan to the unit without buying any accessories besides what's included in the box Okay So before we get to the actual heat pipe cooler itself. Why don't we have a look at the fan? There it is a 92 millimeter fan the blades spin like this It's all shiny and even the fan itself is pretty silver and shiny it has a one of those transparent Plastic three pin connectors. It's quite long you shouldn't have too much trouble with that like all of the latest generation Silenex iXtreme a fans it uses a small hub in the center and their claim is that that gives you more usable airflow space versus fans with a larger hub I kind of buy that Okay, next we have the actual heat pipe cooler itself, so why don't we start because I usually do this at the end Why don't we start with the obligatory finger shot so you can see that it is not all that shiny? But if they're to be believed it is quite flat I can actually feel the machining marks though quite clearly with my fingernail Whether or not that's going to be a problem when you're actually cooling a processor with it Yeah, it remains to be seen, but you can see actually I'm going to like get up to show the camera this Maybe I'll shine the light directly at it. See if we can get it to focus a little better. Oh That is not helping There we go. Okay, so you can see that they've actually Lapped the heat pipe surface itself, so that's what they mean by heat pipe direct touch Okay, and then so these are three nice thick heat pipes These are still thick even by today's standards despite the fact that this is a relatively old product and then you can see that the fins are quite Close together not really they're not jammed in that close so this should perform quite well with a low airflow fan Low noise fan, which you would make sense because silent X prides themselves in their low noise low airflow fans I mean, I don't mean they're low airflow I mean their low airflow compared to a high noise fan the top is very shiny So you can probably actually see my camera there you go Yeah, you can totally see my camera in the top of it So I really like that it has like a silent X logo on it I think that pretty much covers if I can find my Remote everything I wanted to say about this particular cooler, and so thank you for checking out my unboxing
