and first look at the Corsair h9t it's part of their hydro series it comes with a five-year warranty it comes with a silver box which is something that we're not used to seeing with Corsairs liquid coolers in fact this was quite surprising to me it seems like a stupid thing to fixate on but hey when you unbox things for a living then you have to find things that are interesting about boxes so Corsairs packaging generally has been black packaging but we're not going to worry about that too much let's focus on what's interesting about the h9t number one is stop do not return this product to the store contact Corsair give them a chance to help you out that's very important because their customer service is pretty much legendary at this point oh what's this that is a 140 millimeter fan so unlike the previous generation H 4 th 5855 h 6 th 70 + h 80 the h 90 uses a nya 90 I got 90 millimeter fan for extreme performance a 140 millimeter fan now it uses a different design then course there's recently released H 100 INH ATI it has thinner blades but the largeness of it should make up for any kind of performance deficiencies from not using their SP pressure optimized fan design but I mean we'll see once we once we get this thing installed and test it out also inside we find a half the H 90 cooler itself so in terms of case compatibility you do have to be a little bit more careful with a 140 millimeter radiator than you do with a 120 mil because even though a case is compatible with a 120 mil at the back it won't necessarily work with a 140 at the back however courser gives you enough length on the quarter inch non evaporative very flexible tubing that you should be able to even do things like mounted in the top of the case and then run it back over towards your CPU socket for example that will give you more options in terms of installation than you'd have with a limitation of just installing it at the back although it might not make for the same aesthetic so I would I would definitely opt for a case with a 140 mm fan at the back and enough room for the tank at the top and the tank at the bottom in terms of clearance we find unlike the recently-released h adi and h100 i the h 90 does not feature coarser link and it doesn't have lighting effects on the cpu block itself so it's more of a simple cooler it also goes with as I mentioned before 1/4 inch tubing versus the 3/8 inch tubing on those other coolers but the additional surface area should give it some pretty interesting performance which we're very excited to to check out the bottom of the CPU block is looks like something pretty familiar so we've got that ring locking mechanism for mounting the block itself which allows you to take here we go one of these rings whether it's FM 1 FM 2 a.m. 2 a.m. 3 a.m. - plus whatever you want any AMD socket from the last sort of couple generations any Intel socket 754 6 2011 and put the compatible hold down plate on top secured into place been use this retention ring which is so much better than the older systems that use the retention ring to lock the whole thing into place so you don't have to kind of have 4 different hands working on it in order to actually get one of these coolers installed it's quite simple now and comes with all the hardware you need as well as detailed instructions there they are from Corsair that include little pictures and all kinds of good stuff just like that for all of the different platforms so in summary the H 90 no Corsair link but massive surface area which should make it somewhere between a single 120 millimeter thin radiator cooler and something between sort of that and a dual 120 millimeter cooler probably somewhere in the middle thanks for checking out this unboxing don't forget to subscribe to - tech tips from unboxings reviews and other computer videos
