whoa so if you're looking for a good-looking CPU cooler I've got something really cool for you come take a look but first a message from our sponsor the dark bass 900 may be the most innovative case of the year with a built-in Qi charger interior lighting tempered glass that can be installed on either side and a fully modular interior that can be inverted if you so desire be quiet stepping up their game check it out in the description below and so what we got today for you are the new liquid all-in-one coolers from NZXT DX 62 and the X 52 with a premium price that reflects its a superiority over the previous generation and comes with the same six year warranty feature set between these two is identical we have dual fans included per cooler their new air P radiator fans gone are the wide bladed fans we have all the same mounting hardware tube length is the same and even the thickness of the radiators is the same at 30 millimetres one is just bigger at 280 millimeters versus the more common to 40 million radiator now what ends xt is bringing to the table is a fantastic new physical element to the CPU block with this infinite mirror design and a load of lighting options to properly support this RGB goodness so the new coolers now have braided tubing which also apparently is stronger compared to the previous generation where the tubes were plain rubberized and I actually prefer the tube design on the X 61 but at least they've maintained the thinner tubing which is much easier to bend compared to the really thick ones on the H 100 V 2 but no doubt the CPU block is now a lot more attractive and capable it is a much taller body now - but still shorter than the Intel stock cooler by 7 millimeters all the cables are now detachable that makes installation easier having no cables dangling around as you lower the CPU block and interestingly the cables are no longer sleeved like we saw on the X 61 making them easier to high a total of 4 PWM fans are supported on the high giving full fan control for push-pull options and there isn't much anything else to say aside from showing you the bottom of the CPU blog that has thermal paste pre-applied installation was identical to many AOS you can buy today on my ex 99 system I even left the corsair standoffs from the h1 100 IV 2 that are identical while on my skylake machine replacing the ex 61 did not require any additional mounting hardware now so what's really cool about the CPU block is that infinite loop and the interior and also the exterior reflections creating this interesting depth effect with those light rings inside especially when you view it on an angle we have the depth effect more visible and I love the transparency of the top surface when the lights are on plus how well the NZXT text is integrated into that Center it's very clean you don't see any wiring and this 2 zone lighting system works really well that encourages some serious light play to make sure that these coolers fit with your build perfectly full control is enabled through camp software which brilliantly highlights the consistency of their entire ecosystem here you have control curves for the fans and the pump and which temperature variable controls the speed which in my case is the CPU so first I swapped out the X 61 out of my own system and replaced it with the X 62 to see if the cooler is quieter at full load and what type of temperatures we would get I use the same thermal paste for both coolers to keep things even and this is what the X 61 sounds like at full load and now I've swapped out for the X 62 cooler and it's much quieter now something to keep in mind is that comparing CPU temperatures over time and there's practically no difference maybe the groupings for core temperatures is a little bit tighter on the X 62 but at much lower pump speed so here the new pump design shows off what it can do at lower rpm next I wanted to test the X 52 inside the s 340 elite and compared to the H 1 100 IV 2 which is one of the more popular a iOS at full load they sounded about the same and our 4 gigahertz 6800 K remained on average at 64 degrees Celsius with the X 52 giving us a slightly less fluctuating curve and so as a performance upgrade X 62 and X 52 might offer only marginal improvements over your previous 280 or 240 millimeter all in one cooler but in the case of my system in my upgrade it is now much quieter compared to the X 61 cooler and this really highlights that the whole coolness factor of this new mirror design on top of the pump so let me show you all the lighting effects that are plenty and they're awesome let's go inside Camp alright so now we're inside cam the first thing I want to show you guys is CPU usage right now it's hovering under 2% which is pretty good initially when installed it was 30% but a firmware update to fix that so if you're having problems with high CPU usage make sure to update your former so I really like the way this is laid out so here you can change performance mode from silent to performance mode or fixed mode something that you determine yourself if you want to go and configure that you can either click this button here or you go and go into tuning and here we can go into edit fans which I've showed you guys before now let's talk about the lighting which is one the coolest things you can do with this cooler so first thing you can select logo or ring LED once they're both selected only effects that are going to be can Co he Civ with both LED zones are shown so for example if I choose breathing and I choose this red color Save Changes you immediately see what that reflects on the actual cooler and I love that all these colors are pretty accurate so if you're selecting something like in this area like it actually show you that color on the cooler itself if you want to go green and the colors are quite accurate so here we have these fading effects and you can add more colors it's all intuitive you can move colors around and this is controlling both right now the logo and the ring LED I really like this one this one looks cool and it's quite uniform in terms of how things are being fading out and stuff this one is pulse I really like how NZXT in the middle first comes up and then the fades away and then the green comes out comes around so you can also let's add maybe like a blue so it gives us a nice different effect that's awesome and the spectral wave I don't really like this one because it's not very uniform it's kind of chaotic and you can change the speed and look what happens when the slowest speed right now it's not uniform it's kind of jerky but what I like to do is just select my logo LED and then choose a solid color for you so maybe like a nice blue here and then we have these effects on this one this selected go to ring LED so now we're only change a color for the ring LED and I really like the watercooler this is a really cool one so let's save it you can see how it's rotating with the colors and it's very uniform you're going to also go into Tai Chi and select which color you want so maybe like a purple and an orange st. changes and that looks fantastic if you go into loading this is the default one and this is the most uniform in terms of how changes so that looks amazing and really loving the purples here and also the yellows are quite accurate I mean all the colors are accurate but I really love the way purple just looks through there if you go to the smart stuff you can select the color based on temperature or your FPS or GPU temperature and audio that will just this is the level of the loudness and will change based on color it's gonna it's a little bit chaotic so I'll just recommend to sticking to these presets so I hope you guys enjoyed this video let me know what you think about this new pump cooler mirror designed for LEDs I'm happy to see you know proper RGB and inside a CPU cooler it's quite interesting to see where we'll go next in this category but I'm Dimitri with Harbor Canucks thank so much for watching we'll see you in the next video
