all right new toy EK vector RT x 28 ET i RGB waterblock let's install it that's that's all we're doing today the thermal take a 500 aluminum TG mid tower features a sleek aluminum front panel and two four millimeter tempered glass panels for breathtaking views enjoy 420 and 360 rad support at the front and top respectively and breeze through installation with the dismantle of all modular design step up your case game with the a500 aluminum TG and click on the link below for more info that's that's all we're doing today we're installing the water but well we're also gonna check temperatures of it afterwards this is a founders edition block of course so it's gonna slap onto one of these guys this will be a card one of two cards it's going into hot line two alright very very simple packaging here it did come in a plastic sleeve that I removed earlier it doesn't just come bare like this you see it's got some RGB it's got it back RGB chunk right on the end chhoti mother-effer any accessories thermal pads oh wait there should also be user's manual this is not a manual no manual so I've go online for its maybe they forgot mine it's all good got it right here on my phone step one removing factory provided backplate just set this gap perfect alright alright super tiny screws try not to lose any idea I actually don't feel too bad taking this cooler off because while it is much quieter than previous generation founders Edition cards it is still not the coolest cooler around especially when you compare it to some of the high-end Adam born partner cards so off the goes back with me Lewis stick it there more pads yeah I need more tools give it a hex step to unscrew more screws set that thermal pad like a villain looks like a booger oh it's on my phone now gross and finally the last screw that's fine we gotta take them off anyway step 3 cleaning the PCB which I don't have any hold on alright so we can put the founders Edition cooler away from now I think this is the last we'll need to see it for today wonder where all the unused founders edition coolers of the world go forgotten stop coolers where are they now the full report at eleven alright clean that chip Step five cutting the thermal pads why is it low what is he K doing Intel could be suing was Lou baby your bat is so hot you gotta use thermal pads once a month why is it so cold in your apartment it's a thermal pad memory is John I'm gonna straighten this out this looks terrible part of me it's a little OCD with these things like I'll cover the memory chips fully but when they're not perfectly lined up with each other it just drives me insane I think I got issues doc I belong in the thermal padded cell boom that is more like it Oh get some skipper I don't know if they give me enough pants for this crap I might just have to use those firearms I'll just have to use some of the pre-cut pads that were meant for the memory chips for our BRM and I think we should have enough covers at that point the middle P beguiling yep they thought he could be stopped but they were so wrong this is the last pad that's done step number something installing the water block a cinder block on the graphics card yeah let's get some pasty on here okay freakin dokey several things - here we go you just want to put a little pee on your GPU there it is that's always the most nerve-wracking part trying to get all 35 holes aligned on one try and it looks like we did it I mean I did it you guys in doing it washers aren't big enough to go over the screws so maybe this crew don't need you watch it you'll get old trains channel channel while a little bit too much alright I am prepared to screw for you on camera getting married again oh not even fitting it's not the right screw that's that's why no bad bad screw babble screw by the way ek hasn't sent over a back plate yet so that'll have to wait full-text 180 TI nvidia is a vampire said to drain your wallet nope that needs to be longer that is what she said to me oh so yeah it looks still kind of ugly from this end cuz no backplate but we're ready to plug her in and give it a whirl alright so we have the loop setup and pretty much all the water cooling Hardware as far as I can tell is from ek so we've got a pump res combo there's a sixty millimeter thick rad and in just the GPU we're not calling anything else no CPU but we just want to isolate the video card so we've got Unigine Heaven 4.0 running for about an hour strong now and our max GPU temp is 52 C that's not bad especially when you consider that the founders Edition card with its stock cooler runs anywhere from 80 to 84 C we've cut it down by 30 degrees that's insane so the block is doing its job it's also very quiet of course your mileage may vary based on your loop configuration what fans you're using and so forth the RGB implementation looks fantastic all the lighting by the fitting area is super sexy and then even that big slab of RGB at the end of the card looks pretty great although you do see some LED hotspots on the underbelly of that section so if you were mounting this block vertically in a case that may bother some people it may not be a problem for other people but on the other side it looks perfectly seamless and you can't really tell where the LEDs are apart from that though I'm a big fan of this block you guys let me know what you think and the performance is just mmm yes it makes me even more excited to get hot line 2.0 underway so stay tuned for all that guys let me know what you think in the comments below tousle Luke on this video if you enjoyed it and get subscribe for more tech stuff coming at you really soon till next time have a good one and I'll see you in the next video
