The Achilles Heel of Be Quiet coolers has been FIXED!

2018-01-14
fit wits coverage of CES 2018 is brought to you by fantex and cable mock click the links in the description below for more info so I got to stop by the be quiet sweet and they only had one or I guess two really new things that they were showing off but exciting nonetheless something that I've actually been waiting for them to do for a very long time and that is taking their existing coolers which are great performers and look beautiful and essentially swapping out the mounting mechanism to something way less terrible and that's exactly what they've done with their dark rock 4 and dark Rock Pro for these things are absolutely beautiful more on the actual klore themselves but the mounting solution is super simple now the bracket there's a bracket to long bracket that goes over your copper baseplate there's two screws on either end and you basically have to remove two caps you just unscrew two of the little caps on top of the heatsink cover and then they've included a really long screwdriver because some folks just aren't long enough and you basically put the screwdriver down the down the hole down a little tunnel and screw down that bracket and that's it it's super simple no longer do we have to like tighten their coolers down with the little nuts and bolts or whatever a little nuts you know some small nuts as so much innuendo in this video already and then just like tighten them in with your finger and it's like really hard to do or they give you a shitty little wrench that thing's sucked I'm going off on a tangent right now but I'm really happy that they've moved away from the old model with this new one it's here to stay I asked him was like you're gonna do this for like every cooler from now on right you're not going back for all the other future models like no no we're done we're done we totally we get it that's pretty much the biggest complaint that people were bitching about with the dark rock or with all the be quiet coolers as the mounting mechanism it was just awful so now that that's fixed yay everything's perfect this is actually gonna be a pretty nice competitor to knock to I think the dark dark rock Pro 4 is around 90 bucks and obviously naktu has got some really high-end coolers for around that price range but hey look out not only doesn't do they perform well and look good but they're also easy to install now so that's a really nice refreshing change there's also been some redesigns to the cooler itself for example they're using a ceramic coating on the aluminum fin stack now which is just basically to help aid in transfer plain and simple normal paints would practically insulate the heat so it's good they've gone ceramic for this we've also got sort of a new cosmetic just slightly it's blacker it's blacker than black now though the heatsink cover is actually dark and not sort of a gunmetal gray so it's a bit more a bit more matchy-matchy I guess with all the other black that we see on cases for example the coolers also maintain their compatibility with both Intel and AMD sockets and taking a closer look at the pro model we've got a copper base plate with seven copper heat pipes or copper line keep pipes I should say a large aluminum fence stack with two silent wings two fans which are SuperDuper quiet and perform fantastically no pun intended there's a 120 millimeter on the front and a 135 millimeter right in between two of those thin towers 250 watt TDP so this thing can handle quite a bit the non pro model also has the same sort of copper base plate but only six heat pipes and a single 135 millimeter fan with a 200 watt TDP still very robust this is coming to us in April for the same price mind you as their existing sad mount counterparts so that's all good stuff guys let me know what you think in the comments below that's all I got for the be quiet suite that's all they really had to be honest and but exciting changes nonetheless so let me know what y'all thank cos like do all that stuff subscribe obviously more CES coverage on the way you know at some point I'm gonna say more CES coverage on the way but it'll be my last CES video so technically I'll be lying you unless we're talking about next year which I guess I won't be lying alright I don't know what I'm talking about this anyway thanks for watching guys have a good one and I will see you all in the next video
