Welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Zulman LQ320 Ultimate Liquid Cooler. This is a 120 millimeter liquid cooler, uses a low profile block design, quarter inch tubing. It's an Asetek based design, so what that means is you've got a very mature retention mechanism based on their ring mounting. So we've seen this before, we're pretty familiar with it. The difference between this one and the 315 is the fact that the radiator is thicker. Comes with instructions for how to install the entire thing, but other than that it is very similar to what we found with the 315. So what Zulman's done to differentiate this particular Asetek cooler from the other ones that are out there is a couple of things. So number one, they're still using quarter inch tubing which has advantages such as the very tight bend radiuses that are possible. Radii? Radiuses? Radiusi? You know what, it doesn't matter. They've added a blue LED to the block itself, so it's got a plastic cover on it now which we're actually just going to remove there. There we go. Alright, so it's an illuminated Z logo like that and this I think is a pretty nice touch. So they've added a faux brushed aluminum finish to the side of the radiator on both sides. So that's using plastic which is just, I mean honestly it looks just as good as the actual aluminum finishes that you see, but it's not fingerprint prone and it's much easier to clean and all of that kind of good stuff. It also means that they've added these brass threads instead of just threading the actual shroud on the radiator itself. So these should be a little bit easier to find the right threads and avoid stripping compared to just the regular designs that we've seen in the past where it's just the tank shroud itself that is just tapped with a tap. So other than that, I mean more thickness is more better in general. So the thicker the radiator is, the more cooling performance you're going to get out of it, but you need to have a pressure optimized fan. So Zalman includes their ultra quiet fan here which only mounts one way on the radiator it should be noted because on the other side you don't actually have mounting holes. So you can see, I'll hold it up this way just for a change of pace. You can see that it's here on this side and it's missing on this other side. So while you actually can go both ways on it, if you don't have a seal around the frame of the radiator, so if you had it mounted this way, you're going to lose some of that performance. So you're going to be drawing air through the fan this way and some of it's going to come in from here and not actually be forced to pass through the fins themselves. So that can affect your cooling performance. Mounting hardware as I said before is included. Easy, 775, 1155, 1156, 1366, 2011, AM2, AM3, AM3+, AM2+, FM1, FM2, pretty much whatever you want to mount it to. You can. The bottom of the block has a high quality thermal compound pre-applied to it. I would definitely recommend using this for your first application because it's good. It's not until you take the block off and then you need to reapply it that you have to replace it with some other thermal paste.
