everyone we're at copy tax 2018 at the cryo rig booth now they have a couple of updates for this year the main one I think that you all will be interested in is the r5 cooler so r5 was shown probably about a year ago never really came out it's finally coming out and they have a reason for it it's new mounting system so we talking about that for the show and then also they have a new fan design that we'll be talking about and the frost bit MDOT - that's his D cooler that I mentioned at a news video recently before that this video is brought to you by thermal takes view 37 case the vo 37 focuses on highlighting custom PC builds with its full panoramic window and tinted front acrylic and our thermal testing the view 37 performed reasonably well when considering its looks focused build which is partly thanks to the airflow design and the removal of a bottom power supply shroud for a balance of looks and performance check the link in the description below for the view 37 so for the r5 cooler this basically it's the same thing you saw previously except they've changed the mounting system so now it's sockets into a motherboard just you here's how it goes you install a mounting plate with four screws in it no cooler and then the click mount system with a Q sockets in sort of I'd an angle and then it just clicks and then you go in through the top of the screwdriver tighten down the single screw so technically it's about the same amount of screws maybe one more but because you attach the mounting plate before getting the cooler on top of it it's a bit more convenient because you're not gonna have to like try and get your fingers under the side of a sharp heat sink and cut your hands up so that's the idea so yes more screws but way easier to install and remove is the the approach for this one so that's our five it's supposed to be about $70 quarter three ish for the launch on that one probably and otherwise two fans on it and I think the big thing here is the click mount mounting system we'll show you footage of it it'll make complete sense when you see it other than that they're supposed to be moving that mounting system to most the products going forward especially the tower coolers in speaking of tower coolers the h7 very popular cooler from cryo reg has now been upgraded so it has one more heat pipe it's got four now instead of three and they're coming up based on ultra don't really know the price impact yeah it shouldn't be more than five six dollars to get that extra heat pipe and obviously we haven't thermally tested anything here at the show but it would do a little bit just not sure how much other product updates really quickly they've got a fan here at 1600 rpm fan it's an RGB fan the only thing that's really noteworthy with this is that they've replaced the entire chassis so the fan shall the square normally is gone and instead they've gone a sort of a perforated panel similar to the n7 motherboard that's on the wall right here so it's a perforated panel and all it does is just bring out the RGB circle on top a bit a bit more that's really the kind of start in the end of the fan nothing too special with it just killing the chassis for RGB purposes finally the frost bit cooler we talked about this previously so it's got a pivotable basically heatsink on top to get out of the way of GPUs and you sit it on top of an m2 device it's got a one millimeter thick thermal pad in there heatsink and sinks the SSDs now couple things here we talked about it before SSDs don't generally need to be heat synced you probably won't need that extra performance thermally it'll be fine in some cases yes you might be thermal throttling with an m2 SSD primarily with raid but pretty rare and also in terms of these products you actually don't want to cool the flash you want to cool the controller but they're not gonna go below ambient anyway so it's really kind of hard to say how much of an issue that actually is in reality in theory your endurance is improved for an operating piece of flash as the temperature is higher and also reduced for increased temperature if it's inoperative so kind of inverse there where the controlling needs to be called flash doesn't but because they're not going below ambient flying out a huge deal and if you do have an issue with your controller overheating then I guess you can look into an MDOT to cooler ultimately if I give you my opinion on these types of products I think it's more of an accessory thing it's kind of a higher margin type of thing this is what I'm interested in so that's the r5 cooler it's got the click mount system from what I'm told it should have about the same mounting pressure as going with the traditional four screws because what happens is as you screw down into that black plate at the bottom which has a screw in it it will pull the plate up so it's just pressure pulling it up from getting tightened that'll apply all the down pressure on the IHS or the CV on the socket so that's Craig's booth thanks Washington as always subscribe for more copy tax coverage go to patreon.com/scishow and Zach's it stops out directly and stored on cameras nexus net to pick up one of our mod mats or one of the award crystals that we'll be giving out here at the show hopefully the vendors don't buy them if they don't win it instead I'll see you all next time
