with the purchase of a qualifying Intel processor SSD or nook you could instantly win and Intel gaming Jersey and be entered in the draw for the ultimate system click now to learn more this is a momentous occasion we actually haven't done an unboxing in this calendar year but this is it this will be a dual unboxing special edition unboxing to promote an extremely exciting series of videos that we have coming over the next little while our whole room liquid cooling project which you can actually see we are in the middle of implementing so we've gone hardware here we've got Luke modding cases out on the porch oh we've got hardware for 5 rigs all over the floor over in the tech quickie set so um yeah let's unbox the main event as far as the actual water cooling systems go so yes we're gonna have radiators hanging off the roof of the house and that's how we're going to take care of actually dissipating the heat like you have to connect something to the six core extreme editions or in the case of EDS those rigs twelve core Xeon you have to connect something to the CPUs and something to the GTX Titans to remove the heat from the cards and put it in to the water so that will be handled by on the CPUs and Apogee XL CPU blocks let's go ahead and have the unboxing experience shall we first thing inside is an installation guide which is pretty typical of Swift tech they provide it in a bunch of different languages they're not honestly they're mounting system is pretty self-explanatory so you probably won't need it but it does include some important steps like removing the plastic film and how to install thermal compound no you do not spread it out even cooling experts agree there you go install it a little something like that alright then I guess color plates so you actually get a variety of different color plates and because we're building five systems at once we are going with blue because that's what's on by default but you can swap it out and you can put in red white or green Christmasy alright next layer we get some Swift tag branded thermal compound Tim mate all right Tim good I might know that noise and then you also get some mounting hardware so this is for AMD and you'll actually swap out the stock that's funny they individually package each of the hip D pieces which I guess shouldn't surprise me because they also individually package their compression fittings there's our pile of them for the photo setup here wall alright so we've got our a MIDI mounting hardware then we've got the pre-installed Intel mounting hardware for LGA 1155 1156 or 1150 there so there's a backplate and then spring loaded screws on here with these with these nuts keeping them from you know just spinning infinitely you can swap that out with LGA 2011 mounting hardware which is what we're going to need to do because that's what our rigs are going to be using so those are the blocks and I actually have one so this is e Diesel's machine with the 12 cores Deon already installed we are going to install compression fittings on here and then it's got 64 gigs of Kingston HyperX minner memory on an a CSX 79 deluxe and this lights up blue and it's going to look all sweet and it's gonna be awesome alright so next is this is the Big Kahuna this is the Komodo NV le which normally stands for a light edition or looser edition or lame edition but in this case it stands for luxury edition so same thing you get some pretty rudimentary instructions put the screws in the thing use the back plate for the other things okay it's compatible with 787 ATT eyes and Titans as well as Titan blacks depending on the PCB being used and then is that a beautiful water block look at this thing so you've got an acetal as well as brushed metal and acrylic construction you've got this one also has replaceable light here we go here's the replacement ones it also has replaceable lighting so it comes with blue and red and I believe they have green pre-installed although don't quote me on that you get an allen key for going ahead and installing things and stuff taking and all that noise on the back oh yeah that nickel-plated everything is good you're going to want to take these off before installing the block and then it also comes with a nice thick one of the thickest I've ever seen actually it comes with some more thermal compound comes with stop fittings as well as all the screws you need surprise those aren't individually packaged like one bag per screw alright and then it comes with one of the thickest back plates that I've ever seen that has a nice brushed aluminum finish to it very nice and then they've also they've done it so that the Swift tech logo will be right side up once the card is actually installed in your system I can show you a finished one so this one I have already assembled and installed the compression fittings on so that's what it's going to look like on the Titan black editions that we are using for this whole setup so that's what it will look like actually installed in the system gorgeous alright so thanks for checking out this unboxing guys liked the video if you liked it dislike it if you just liked it
