now nothing here is a totally new and radical concept water coolers aren't new prefilled water coolers aren't new and ones from cooler master aren't even new but they're still pretty proud of the neptune 240m they're all like yeah it's got high quality included fans it's got a completely cooler master designed and manufactured pump with great quality we put a five-year warranty on it and all that stuff so let's find out that if it's as good as it sounds on paper by the way speaking of things that sound our momentum in ear earphone review is coming soon so make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss that roll the intro Corsair Gaming RGB keyboards feature precision Cherry MX RGB key switches for sixteen point eight million color per key backlighting for virtually unlimited customization click now to learn more on the surface there's not much to differentiate the Neptune 240 and from other premium dual 120 millimeter fan liquid coolers the CPU block and pump combo unit features a flat machined copper base plate on the bottom with a white LED lit Coolermaster logo on top and two side mounted swivel fittings that connect to the pre-attached fluorinated ethylene propylene tubing that appears to be closer to three eighths inch internal diameter than a quarter inch but manages this wider flow path without any extra susceptibility to kinking very nice the radiator it's connected to is a fairly standard aluminum finned 27 millimeters thick dual 120 millimeter affair with what I would describe as moderate fin density so for the quiet freaks out there it should be suitable for use with low rpm fans as long as they deliver high static pressure even at low rpm which leads us to the fans these things are actually a fantastic upgrade over the fence that Coolermaster used to bundle with their Neptune coolers they run it anywhere from 800 to 2,400 rpm they were extremely quiet at 1,100 rpm the setting that we standardize on for our performance testing and on top of having square frames which allows them to ceil better against the radiator for improved static pressure they have this included rubber gasket in the box that further reduces vibration and air leakage I'd say my only complaint about their new Silencio fans is that you don't seem to be able to buy the standalone you can only get them with the cooler because they're pretty darn good installation was a breeze on LGA 2011 the pump is efficient enough to be powered by a fan header on your motherboard which makes life a little bit easier and the mounting hardware is both solid you know and easy to use so if I had to make one criticism here I guess it would be that the tubing runs felt a little bit long for me but users with larger cases may be very thankful that the tubing is a little bit on the longer side so your mileage may vary which leads us to performance yes performance was actually very good the Neptune 240m is competitive with pretty much anything else on the playing field including even Swift xh2 20 X expandable ail but at a lower price and with more flexible mounting options like Swift x1 because the pump and reservoir are on the radiator can only be mounted like this way and this way only whereas the Neptune can kind of be positioned however you want it's just it comes inherently with the pump being on the CPU and not having a reservoir it should be noted though that it does all this without the expandability that Swift tech solution affords where you can start throwing in graphics card blocks and stuff like that one thing of note here is that upgrading to Noctua n ff12 fans does as it always seems to improve the performance but not so dramatically this time that we've considered them a necessary upgrade for potential buyers the ones in the box are a very solid option with nice sleeved 4-pin pwm connectors and all that good stuff so overall the Neptune 240 M is a winner which is a relief for me because we've been running ads for it on our videos for a little while now and it's always refreshing to know that the stuff we're advertising even if we're not specifically endorsing it also happens to kick butt I mean I hate it when you guys buy stuff that isn't as good as it could something Dee speaking of things we advertise that kick butt man that was a great Segway it's Blizzcon time again and intel has some pretty awesome stuff going on in there their booth is located near the hearthstone stage and they're going to be showcasing the latest and greatest tech from Intel so you guys might remember that last year hearthstone with touch launched at Blizzcon and Intel was showing off tablets with hearthstone touch running so that's probably also going to be there it's a pretty safe bet especially with their new Core M processors available they're going to of course have gaming rigs with an emphasis on like you know high res gaming high performance gaming if they just launched haswell-e back around the PAX prime time frame so they're going to have like six core and eight core gaming rigs going on up in there with ddr4 they've got a screen app where attendees can come by and take pictures in front of it they're going to have twitch streamers streaming at their booth this is something that they've done before it's pretty darn cool if you want to meet some of your you know favorite twitch personalities that happen to be there they're going to be offering some deals through new egg on Anna soos ROG laptop the lenovo y50 4k gaming laptop and the lenovo horizon 2 27-inch all-in-one so the promo codes are available in the Intel Blizzcon thread on the forum that's linked in the video description and the codes expire December 31st so you don't actually have to buy anything the second you could be a present for the holiday season or it could even be something to spend like if your parents and relatives loved you a lot more than mine ever did something to spend your Christmas money on after the Christmas season so guys I think that pretty much wraps it up like this video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a comment if your feelings are more complicated than this check the
