SilverStone's "Unique" Names Explained | Computex

2017-06-05
everybody we are at the Silverstone booth now I am trying to buy Tonio I worked with Tony for several years he is with Silverstone as a marketing manager and he's the perfect person to explain all the names for me because when I asked hey what is the letters and numbers in your names mean he handed me this before getting to that this coverage is royalty by Corsair and their new t1 raised gaming chair which is a bucket style gaming seat and that chair cost $350 you can find a link in the description below for more information so we've got a rule book for the name but I figured it's probably good to run through it on video so that's Tony let's where we want to start well so let's start with the air coolers make sure so with air colors we have three different names they are the polygons nitrogen and argon so we sort of have a combination wording so we found out I guess through Wikipedia that the liquid helium has the lowest temperature of the three elements that we chose so that lowest temperatures Helly liquid helium liquid nitrogen and then liquid argon so as you you can tell we give the premium line of air cooler to the pillar he'll be gone series so that's helium plus gone does shape of helium okay so then the middle ground middle series is the nitrogen the shape of nitrogen I drag on an argon is already gon so that that fits perfectly so that's how we came up with the name of all three series okay so nitrogen argon he'll again or he'll again not here at the show so this is their older models but they're the top of the line they're not that they also they're not at the Computex range okay but there's more to the name of that so nitrogen alright so nitrogen NT 0 9 1 1 5 X what does that mean well after or the NT stands for nitric on obviously so that's organs they are short they are short for Oregon right so for Heligan there's the H II so the number that comes afterwards they're just you know the first model would be named zero one so the first model of NT NT 0 1 second model the ng 0 2 so on and so forth okay so that's easy to understand and what comes after the - 11 5 X that means it's a CPU cooler designed for the LGA 1151 five six seven five one five zero etc okay so socket type then for Intel for the 1 1 5 X so X is part of the socket type what about X so it gets more complicated as we go NT 0 8 1 1 5 XP what does that mean right so let's move actually that's a better example here we have two of them so here we have the AR coolers so if you can look closely this is the X s did you just reference your name card no yeah sort of but you can tell from this this is a screw type mounting system so s will screw push pin go P so that's X P very easy to see XS + XE ok ok so the axis is part of the intel socket type the p is the push pin for intel and s is just a screw screw yeah screw mountings yeah ok alright so we got the coolers I think that gets us through the first half of the book well there's one more tundra but I guess we don't even need to talk about it's just tundra because that liquid coolant is a different line what about the fence so a PF q fw and then the sizes are like obviously this wants to be 120 millimeters but you've gone one millimeter too far that's correct so 1 2 stands for 120 millimeter 9 stands for 92 8 that's very easy to understand the number that comes after that first set of numbers system model so this is the third 92 millimeter fans in that series so this is the FW 121 so that's the first one twenty millimeter fan of the FW series so you can kind of tell there you have F Q for example so this is the second model of the F Q series 120 millimeter fan but what is what is that Q mean for this one F Q means is fan for quietness so it's very easy to understand and FW is f with pwm this one here is FM M stands for manual control so that means you can adjust the speed on the fan manually and ap is one of our more famous air penetrator fans so that's so that then sort of the F because that's a complete different design concept yeah I think I remember the air penetrators in the Raven no - right yeah so those are the ones with visa specially designed grille that focuses the airflow into a more single column so that it pushes the air father into your case for very effective cool very cool so there's plenty more Silverstone naming to go around maybe next time we'll look at the cases like the red line the Kublai the fortress Raven yeah there's more relying yeah precision prime era they're getting better with it you're going with names that are easier to pronounce so that is all for this one as always you can subscribe for more patreon.com/scishow and razaaq's this helps out directly Tony thank you for explaining that hey you're welcome and we'll see you all next time you
