so I've got another self-indulgent unboxing here to do I'm unboxing the MTR 320 Q P stack so there's actually two different MCR 320 q PS and i'll get into what that is in just a moment it comes in a plain brown box and yes this is yet another water-cooling i don actually working on on a new water-cooling build right now so this is all stuff that i've actually bought for our system that i'm building in the corsair obsidian 800 deep so for starters let's get into what comes in the accessory package first of all we have a wide variety of rubber o-rings looks like it comes with six we have these are great for little tiny stubby fittings so these are half-inch are they all half-inch yes they are all half-inch fittings so how this is designed to work is if you have two of these stack radiators or a stack and a non stack you would actually do two just so these o-rings are for all the fittings that you would need to stack two radiators together with two fans sandwiched in between you use the little stubby fittings in here and the water actually flows in parallel between the two rads and you use two of these worm drive clamps in order to make sure that the tubing doesn't slip off in between not that I would worry too much about that but it also prevents leaks if you use a worm drive clamp okay so we have a stackable series radiators informational guide now I'm probably gonna throw this unboxing up on the product pages for both of the two different rads however where this is obviously the stackable one so there are suppose some specific instructions including how to attach one stackable and one normal rag in order to get the benefit of additional cooling capacity there's also a quick guide here on how to use the little fasteners for attaching fins to the radiator and but it okay and then there's your standard MCR xx so whichever NCR series round you are using installation guide so that shows you how to use a screw to attach the fan to the radiator and caution do not poke the screws too far and pierce the radiator fins is probably what that is cautioning you not to do yes it is okay so in this little cardboard thingamajiggy it's protected by cardboard so that these screws won't bounce around and puncture the radiator in transit we've actually got 12 long screws and four short screws so the 12 long screws would be used to attach three fans to each mounting point on the rad and then the four short screws will be used to attach this entire radiator and fan assembly up into the top of the 800 d case which I will likely show at some point in the future I'll make an annotation here if I ever get around to it so here we have a nice sort of paper e-cloth e shroud over a tissue paper shroud over the radiator itself so Swift xmc r-series rads are a quiet radiator so what that means is that there's a low fpi or fins per inch count so that means that it is optimized to work best with quiet fans versus any a competing radiator which might have more densely packed fins which will perform better if you have high CFM fans but not nearly as well if you have low flow fans so I'm going to be using relatively low airflow fans and the eight limbs so this is definitely the optimal setup for me you can see we've got our threaded mounting points sorry excuse me twelve six aside okay and then we have the same thing on the other side of the rad now what you may or may not have noticed when I flip that over is that there are actually mounting spots for the barbs on both sides of the stackable radiator so that's what I was talking about before I was saying you can actually use either two stackables or one stackable and one non stackable in order to set up two radiators next to each other with just fittings in between a normal radiator would only have fittings on one side so thank you for checking out my video blog and unboxing on this Tech MCR 3:20 quiet power stackable or non stackable depending which product page you're looking at radiator
