 So big thanks to thermal right for sending us the sample that we're going to have a look at today Today I have and you won't be able to tell from the front because this uses thermal rights Trademark plain brown box packaging thermal right has always kind of said well We're not really about the box. We're more about the what's inside the box so here We've got just simple text on the side This is their Spitfire VGA cooler, and I've also got one of their VRM r5 accessories for it, so why don't we start with Let's start with the add-on piece just to kind of shake things up You know why look at the main thing when we're actually you know looking at both in the long run or something first of all We get a thermal right ultimate cooling solution sticker inside the box And we're probably going to have one of those in each box would be my guess okay, then we get a quick Assembly package so this gives you what what accessories you can accept or you can expect in order to assemble your VRM R5 now as you might have already guessed the VRM r5 is for cooling the VRM on a radion 5 series So this is for the radion 5870 and you can see that we've got a quick exploded view of how to install it it actually looks really simple So you've got a couple clips that appear to be for fans and then you've got a couple of screws that go in from the back and Yeah, that's fairly straightforward. Thanks for that. Okay. Why don't we have a look at the actual cooler itself? Okay, it starts to look less simple all of a sudden here, but that's okay We'll get into that when we get to it So I'm not going to snap this open now because it looks actually quite well sealed And there's a bunch of little parts in here But we've got as they outlined here three thumb screws three washers, and then two thermal strips Okay, and let's have a look at the cooler itself because this is sort of the business part of thermal rates business is Coolers that is a big piece of foam Huh? Why don't we unbox the phone today? Just the phone so what they've done is they've put together some foam and then they made a hole in it and that No, I'm just kidding that protects the cooler itself. So this is the VRM R5 and This is actually yeah, this is kind of amazing because this piece is dedicated Purely to cooling the voltage regulators I mean when you consider how small and puny the cooler that sits on the VRM on a stock card is and you see think That this is actually designed to cool That this this whole thing. It's it's pretty cool. So here. Let's have a look at the menu at the At the diagram they've done here So when you've actually got your card installed in your system, this is going to stick up this way So any case airflow that's coming through your case generally speaking It's going to be coming front to back is going to have to blow through these fins in order to be exhausted So that's what thermal rate is going for with their design. So why don't we have a look at the actual Spitfire? And then we will go from there Into what it'll kind of look like, you know, I wish I had a 5870 to show it to you with but I don't you know what maybe we'll spend a little bit more time on this guy first. Okay, so they're using nickel plated Nickel plated fins here, and they've got a couple of nickel plated copper heat pipes that are running one from Like right under one of the contact strips here And then the other one is a little bit to the side of the other contact strip You can see it right here But based on the fact that you're gonna have excellent heat transfer from from one part of an aluminum structure to another part These book heat pipes are both going to be able to carry a lot of heat up to these fins here So okay that pretty much covers it. Okay, let's have a look at the Spitfire itself So we get another sticker and then we get another assembly package So you can see there are a lot more parts included with this one So why don't we why don't we keep that on standby? And then what I'll do is I'll show you each of the included parts as we go through it. So installation manual Installation of the support bars. Oh, that's interesting Okay, so thermal right has actually included Support bars because they're afraid that this that this heatsink is going to make well not they're afraid but rather They're concerned for their end users that installing this might make it so that their video card becomes quite heavy So you can see how large it is once it's actually installed on a video card So they have provided with the cooler a way to actually brace it Against a couple of the standoffs that your motherboard screws into your chassis with so by extension what you're doing This is actually pretty cool is you are bracing this cooler against your chassis So if you're actually needing to move your computer while you have the Spitfire installed here I had you looking at that tiny picture. There you go So during installation with the supporting rod is blocked by any of the components you have a metal rod Install the new tags mounting holes so cool They've included a couple sort of extra ways for you to make sure that you can install this that is terrific Okay Moving on Here is the installation guide so Here's the exploded view where they show you oh, here's the step-by-step on the back. So you insert the multiple thread Let me pull this out so we can at least have a look at the included accessories first Okay That is a big pile of accessories so this is the assembly package I'm going to see if I can get this open tightly here without making too much of a mess Yeah, I'm gonna pull the old pen trick, okay There we go So the biggest thing in here is the support bars and those are Let's see what they're made of because my guess is going to be like steel or something like that because it'd have to be quite strong So here they are Those are neat so they've got a groove in them so you can actually adjust them depending on exactly where you want to put the Yeah, yeah, that's interesting So you use this one side and then that screws into the top of the spitfire and then this side just kind of Adjusts to wherever you need to fasten it. So that's very cool. So those are the support bars next we have fan mounts So you've got your standard wire clip fan mounts Next we have two more pieces of the support bar structure So these can be used to screw into the motherboard standoff holes and then you can actually attach the spitfire itself to these Okay Next we have all of the mounting hardware that we need in order to Install the spitfire onto the card. So let me see what we've got here all these thumb screws Hmm You know, I've never actually tried to figure out VGA cooler mounting on camera and it is proving to be quite difficult So I might not get too much further into the mounting unless I do a dedicated video to about mounting this particular cooler So why don't we just have a look at all the other accessories that are included? so you got your mounting plates and then you've also got some included thermal compound and then you've also got little heat sinks for the RAM as well as for the Some of the voltage regulation modules on the back So I guess if you don't have this particular accessory you can also use this So RAM heat sink a RAM heat sink B. And then what are the other ones these six pieces are? Seven Seven RAM heat sink see oh no, so they are all for RAM. So you do need the VRM cooling accessory So let's have a look at the spitfire. Wow, this thing's as big as a CPU cooler. That's the first thing I notice about it. It's got six heat pipes So here I'll get the cameraman to get in close to this thing and have a look first Let's get all of the foam ease taken off of it Oh, it looks like these these either stay on or no. No these come out. Okay, so these foamy is also come out and Wow, the structure of this thing is actually quite quite unique. So there's a lot of separation in between the dedicated fins to each one of these heat pipes and then they've got one solid It appears to be steel plate at the top holding it all in place so that none of them are gonna move from there from their Normal structure. So as you'd expect from a thermal right product The bottom is based the bottom base the base is lapped very smooth And then you've got six heat pipes all terminated right here So you can actually mount this and you can see that this base is lapped as well You can either mount it to your graphics card this way and then you've got your GPU making contact here Or you can mount it to your graphics card this way and you've got your GPU making contact to this side So that's pretty cool And that's one of the reasons that thermal right wouldn't have been able to do a heat pipe direct touch design Because they wanted to make sure that you have that flexibility because I mean face it this thing is huge It's not gonna fit just any old way in every case in the world So why don't we have a look at where the heat pipes all make contact so you can see these are welded or rather? Soldered in and then they each come out to a dedicated dedicated fin arrangement and these fins are actually pretty unique because normally you can kind of see right through the fins on a cooler, but they've got these What they've done is they've taken each fin and they've actually bent They've bent them so that you get more surface area per fan blowing down on it although It would make it more restrictive now why they would have made a design decision like that I'm not sure but I think the results for this cooler speak for itself I've seen it installed on Radeon 5870s And it's dropped temperatures by over 30 degrees over the stock cooler without even running an extreme fan on it So thermal rate actually had a recommended fan that they sent to me as well And I'm hoping I'll be able to do an installation video But it's the X silent 140 so it can accept up to a 140 millimeter fan anyway Thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the thermal right spitfire as well as their VRM cooling accessory for it
