how bad could a five-dollar he'd think that we bought on eBay possibly be how do you even make a computer cooler for five dollars ship to our door five dollars well we're going to find out on the cheap and heat sink on the market and yes my friends we are starting another series the treatments on the market and it's going to be flippin awesome HP's new omen X lineup comes equipped with Intel 7th generation Core i7 processor check it out at the link in the video description the brand is XY CP and this is the whatever that is CPU cooler 65 watt maybe that says 3-year warranty and also have support for core i7 and 12 something ok let's get it open so that my friends holy crap it's like feather-light that is five dollars worth if you think I mean look at this when they were designing the the flower heat sinks in arrangement like this just looks like a you know someone accidentally you know bumped it on the assembly line see this hook kind of came off their CV no problem no problem you just put that baby back together no big deal but but look at this there were like wasn't room for the for them frame for the fan so they're just like no problem we'll just bend it no big deal no problem that's where the that's where the wire comes out okay so we're looking at an 80 millimeter fan they're somewhere in between like 75 millimeter fan feet that's 80 milk oh man this stuff this stuff looks quality and see there mmm that's a good stuff that's a good stuff right there Luke really runny actually that doesn't look especially quality look at this please like this is like another thermal volcano warning remove before installation warning have your head checked before installation all right so you can see what they've done here the construction method is pretty actually very very basic so they've got these these pieces right here that are basically running all the way through and compressing so they've got all these fins coming in you can actually follow the lines it's quite cheaply made this is a very old old construction method they've got these four pieces of aluminum on that either side that extend the base and that are basically used to crush all the fins together then they machine the bottom as flat as they can in a couple of minutes there and ship it off now let's put this thing up against its main competitor so the stock Intel heatsink was the fan and the mounting hardware is a hundred and eighty grams this bad boy comes in 157 can it possibly hold up so first things first we've got to clean off our CPU with alcohol so the most fair possible comparison we're using a 7700 K then I've got a brand new Intel stock cooler and go ahead and throw that bad boy on there so I'm using the included thermal compound we're not introducing extra variables in our test so we're going to hit this baby with an eye 264 stress test here we go utilization 100% CPU temp well we'll give them a minute I'm just taking in the sound will just absolutely okay so you can probably hear the way that the fan is here that ramping up and ramping down so our temperatures and our turbo speed actually reasonable so we're hanging in here at 4.45 gigahertz on our 7700 K all the way up to 4.5 so this thing's turbo lling up to of a max at a hundred percent load and we're sitting at about 85 degrees on the CPU package ideal perhaps not but certainly not going to damage it but what we also hear is that that fan is working really hard to keep it there so let's lock that sound in our minds and try out our five dollar heatsink all right so with it clean now we can put on our thermal lava here oh look at that that oh shoot oh okay well Oh quality Oh beautiful okay okay now I'm ready with my mounting hardware you basically put these little clear plastic inserts into the hole that corresponds to the socket you want so at 775 or 1150 whatever then we just put this on here oh you got tell me this is not going to align oh man oh you hear that crunching oh shoot I definitely don't know it's going to fit that way oh how am I going to get this out now maybe if I can push out oh crap shoot up on there real good now well maybe I can get this side I don't know how I'm gonna remove this after Oh I gotta get to begin card off here right okay well there are some creature comforts that definitely some with using a more modern design but if we put it on this way I think you might actually be okay here shoot it's going to interfere with the RAM before I can press it all the way down to take the RAM out here we go I'm gonna make it open up yes okay we have a mount but can I get the RAM back in now that is the question I'm sorry do still I'm sorry to subject your memory to this ah there we go look at that it's like it's designed for it it's it's like right there yeah yeah boyee all right let's turn this thing on all right so it's got this like you know orange spinning dial to you know what it actually looks pretty cool right I legitimately think it looks cooler than the stock heatsink just because of that that orange fan systems booted so we clearly haven't outright broken anything oh boy I don't think this is a good sign I already heard it ramped up for a second there but let's fire this up okay here we go oh oh dang a hundred and one degrees on the CPU packet ah it's painful look at the throttling look at the throttling 19 percent thermal throttling oh the humanity ah we've already fallen from four point five to four point two four gigahertz it just can't keep up ah so if the question was could a $5 you think be worse than a free he'd think the answer is in fact yes my friend but doesn't performance hold up to what I would expect for a $5 product given that if you try and buy one of these on eBay it'll actually cost you about $15 then yes yes it holds up to what I would expect I am shocked that we got anything for $5 even something as ineffective as this remember it's rated for 65 watts not the 95 Watts we threw at it we were just wondering if hey you know maybe it was you know under-promise over-deliver and that's not what happened not what happened today FreshBooks is the cloud-based accounting
