today on the unboxing the v6 GT muscle cooling 200 plus wat cooling solution from coolermaster this is an upgrade to their v6 cooler obviously and it has muscle unlike me okay so it is compatible with intel LGA 1366 1156 and 775 it's also compatible with AMD am3 am too and am too plus so it's compatible with pretty much every modern socket out there right now and by pretty much I do mean all you can see through there's like a engine looking thing and they've got a picture of the cooler and you can see the cooler itself let's have a quick look at what they have to say about it on the packaging outside so far not a whole lot ah here it is ok so it is highly dense and tilted aluminum fins so you can expect this to perform best with a high static pressure pin I'm actually just going to open it and then sort of talk about it while we're looking at the product rather than talk about it while we're looking at the box this looks cool actually here it is the v6 GT apparently perfect for case modder so I was half expecting this to be like a fan speed controller but it's not that's a good idea actually I should suggest that to somebody ok so on either side we've got cooler master's uh oh these are cool so this is one of their new series of fans it has kind of a wave shape to the fins which apparently gives you better performance ok so that's great it includes their their latest fans you flip it over so you can see that the fins are indeed quite densely packed and it does feature six discreet heat pipes now these are relatively ok no that's ok never mind as soon as I move this that fan will spin there we go so it features six discreet heat pipes now they're not the thick heat pipes but there are so many of them i can't imagine that it matters all of that much so i'm just going to go ahead and sort of push all of the all the cables and stuff out of here so that i can get access to them and show you exactly how to hook it up so it is a push-pull heatsink that means that the two fans one is pushing air into the heatsink the other one is pulling air through so when you've got a den Finn arrangement that is the best way to set it up because push-pull doesn't actually increase the the CFM the airflow but what it does do is it increases the the pressure so it makes it so that it will slow down the air less to have these fins in the way so we've got one adapter that basically takes a pwm fan header on your motherboard preferably your CPU one and then turns it into to PWM fans headers for the cooler itself so it's sleeved so you could kind of like tuck this one under the heatsink like that and then have it just come out with the the sleeve bit and plug that right into your motherboard so it should look quite tidy then you've also got a molex plug here and I'm I don't have a loss for for what thou before maybe we'll go find out after okay let's have a look at what we've got in terms of installation instructions and accessories so we've got a user's manual okay that's quite small then we have a warranty card also quite small and then we have a less small user's manual okay that's in a bunch of different languages and it gives you a little picture guide of how to install on all the different sockets including oh this is good you can actually install the am to a m3 in either direction so you're not married to one way or the other because remember the a.m three mounting equipment is not square so let's go ahead and sort of see if we can get these fans off actually let me do that first I don't know if I'm going to be able to do that especially on camera that seems like it might be quite challenging maybe it's just a matter of pulling it out this way no that's not it okay maybe it's a matter of pressing this button know that button does something though and we're going to find out what it does before this video's through maybe that's what you're waiting for maybe that's why you're still watching the video so you can find out what exactly that button does I suspect it's something to do with lights I'll say that much okay apparently it is not really designed to be easily taken apart although I suspect there is a way to take it apart and it's not all that difficult but I'm just having trouble so why don't we do our obligatory finger shot thing here to see the shininess of the base because everyone likes that if you don't like that feel free to leave a comment and tell me you don't care okay oh you can tell right away that this is uh this is actually a a convex base so that's designed to get better mounting pressure against the cpu there you go you can see that ok now let's go over into my office where I have a power supply plugged in to the space under my desk just follow me so my office is two doors down from the cameraman which you probably don't already know unless you're a super creeper okay so I'm just gonna plug this power supply in assuming I can find a power plug to plug it in with ya it's funny cuz I thought I had one ah here we go okay so we'll plug in this power supply this is my random fan testing power supply it is jumper Don and I'm gonna go ahead and plug this in and we'll find out what it does ok so far nothing now we're gonna press the button Oh check it out it's red so there's a red LED light strip that goes down the top of the v6 GT cooler or blue oh I like it purple or nothing red blue purple or nothing I personally would choose this one because I think that looks sweet and you know what I wouldn't I wouldn't be all that surprised at this point if the fans are led to but okay here just turn the camera off for a second so I couldn't find an adapter so i had to find a computer that's on so we're going to go ahead and plug in the 4-pin pwm fan header that splits out into two and we're going to plug that in here now this fan is running Linux so it is under full 100% load so that's going to be the maximum fan speed but it pushes quite a bit of air and what's interesting actually is that compared to standing or sitting or kneeling whatever be right in front of it like this if you turn it to the side you actually hear it a lot less so that's a pretty good thing about the Shroud I guess here why don't I go ahead and plug this in for the full effect there we go so this is what it would look like if you installed it in the computer which maybe I'll do later purple yeah okay so there that's my video on the v6 GT from coolermaster thank you for checking it out and don't forget to it's upside down don't forget to subscribe
