everyone we're at the deep cool suite now at CES 2019 looking at just the coolers for this one so this is probably the most interesting to you all we've had requests from you for testing air coolers for a long time now still in the works but this is a bit more motivation to do it because there's a competitor to the high-end noctua cooler that you all are familiar with the nhd 15 so this is the assassin three it's a deep cool product it's brand new at CES before that this video is brought to you by us and the gamers access store you can go to store it on cameras nexus net to pick up one of our ceramic mugs critically acclaimed mod mats or educational video card tear down and PCB Anatomy posters that teach the names and placements of all the key PCB components learn more at store des cameras XS net or click the link below and let's get the basics out of the way first and we'll go into some more detail on the technical side of things hundred our price point May is the release target for this year so it gives you the very basics about 280 watt TDP based on their rating I mean it depends on how the CP is rated of course whether or not that that works for you but 280 watt TDP 7 heat pipes and the heat pipes so some some basic information here heat pipes we've done videos in the past we show how CPU air coolers work and heat pipes of course they they have a liquid in them as the liquid comes down to the cool the hot spot the IHS it will evaporate and come back up to the top of the heat pipe and through capillary action it eventually it'll recondense capillary action brings it back down and the cycle repeats there are a couple different types of heat pipes so there's typically sintered which is like a copper powder inside of the heat pipe there's a weave which is a literal weave of copper inside the heat pipe a mesh which again a mesh it's pretty self-explanatory and then there's a composite which is not only a mixture of multiple of those different materials there's not a fixed standard of what composite always means but this is a sort of a composite material it's a sintered and grooved heat pipe so I think we have some photos of this but they're basically grooves around the outer the inner diameter of the heat pipe and then there's sintered copper powder inside of the heat pipe so this is similar to it's it's centered as we know it mix with some grooves and in theory the end result is that should have based on what deep Cola has told us 15% more thermal transfer now through testing of course we'll have to see what that means but that's that doesn't mean the cooler as a percentage will perform better 15% it's just individual heat pipes for thermal transfer as a metric so we're not talking degrees Celsius here for overall temperature of the entire cooler unit versus Knox or something it's just per heat pipe for thermal transfer that's the metric we're looking at so ultimately good advancement it's just intestine we'll have to see what that really means in reality it comes with two fans so these go from 500 rpm to about 1,400 rpm they're running at full speed here behind me at 1350 for the fans and they they're a bit unique design I think I have one here so the fan blades have just uh I don't know if you want to call that a spoiler or something at the end of it but just it's it's for an airflow pass through we have a wind tunnel so we can validate what that actually does once we get it in the lab and again with am a release date shouldn't be too far away for cooler specs 165 millimeters tall 140 millimeters wide so we've got two 140 s on there and at $100 those are included it is supposed to be silence focused 140 helps with that if you want to drop the RPM obviously that'd be the better way to get silence and thermal paste included is a G 15 thermal compound it's 11 watts per meter Kelvin thermal conductivity which is quite a bit better than most of the other stock pace that come with cheaper coolers in the market to give you an example the ACE attack thermal paste that comes in the stockades tech coolers is roughly around 3.8 watts per meter Kelvin so that gives you a baseline of what to expect I think cryo knot or Hydra knot is typically around 11 so it is a high-end paste and then for the rest I guess I'll mention this as well it does it does include the be quiet screwdriver the same supplier for the screwdriver but that's because so for mounting points this is a Z series platform z3 90 and it's got four screws to one in each corner and then there's a metal bar that goes across we did ask about installation because installation is probably the worst part of any cooler install and so this one's pretty straightforward we'll have to actually install it to understand how good it is but four screws bars and then a backplate it's a pretty standard stuff there then you got a screwdriver to get down to those through the fins so next product there is a liquid cooler we'll look at and that one's pretty interesting there's there's a bit of a difficulty in the market where with liquid coolers a Sutekh kind of has a chokehold on pump in the block configurations basics a stack successfully sued coolermaster of this so there are several bypasses and the captain series uses one of those methods we'll go look at that next and on the other side of the room there are two coolers one of them will be in the US or globally actually this one and the other one is not available in the US because of the AC tech patent so let's start with the globally available captain coolers so this is a captain 240 pro deep cool has had the captain series for a while now differences with this one you may have heard about there's just a it's basically a rubber cylinder in there it's a more or less a balloon and just burps air when the liquid gets heated through expansion and contraction theoretically it should should remove or evict some of the air from the system and reduce the chance of leakage we did ask we saw some of your comments on potentially I think it was on Paul's the video actually asking would deep well warranty the components under the cooler if it were to leak and the answer is yes so you know you have to be tested but that's good to hear the inner diameter of that that balloon is 14 millimeters it is basically the length of the radiator tank so that's the tank on the end and then all it does is expand contract based on the liquid temperature it's a pretty simple system there it's based on pressure and should in theory reduce leakage chances the pump itself it's not a Sutekh design it's not I mean you've seen the captain before I believe in some of our previous coverage so same pump design just the lighting has changed and then the the pressure solution on the radiator has changed as well 240 millimeter radiator pricing is supposed to be $140 TDP 250 watts and just if you're curious so these are propylene glycol mixtures and the propylene glycol is mixed in with distilled water typically as the solution normally with a biocide in there as well to kill any any bacterial growth or things like that so the same type of mixture here is 20% propylene glycol and the rest you'll have liquid as typical so this is a pretty standard mixture we've heard up to 40% on some of the ASA tech coolers if it goes that high it's not only for extreme storage solution so things that are not consumer higher percentage of propylene glycol will help with storage and sub-zero environments for example when I say storage I mean as in either a service solution or as in literal storage before use so ideally you want a bit lower percentage propylene glycol because water is going to be your better transfer of heat it's a good mixture percentage there we'll see how it doesn't test in if we do test a 140 bucks like I said the other one if you're curious is called the castle it's a 360 won't be available in the US due to that the patent challenges that we've seen in the past that have given Coolermaster and Swift tech some problems but if you are outside of the US you might be able to buy it so the castle is a 360 it is 280 watt TDP and then $170 for the price point so that will wrap deep cools booth thank you for watching as always you can subscribe for more or go to patreon.com/scishow gamers Nexus tops out directly I'll see you all next time you
