welcome to my unboxing the first look at these elements CMPs 9900 max which is over 9000 I just thought I'd mention that this is the red LED version fits on pretty much every socket you could care about including 2011 FM one and am3+ which doesn't apparently include LGA 1155 but we'll see once we open I know there ya go they were just messing with me 2011 1366 1156 1155 775 m 3 + + 3 M two + am to FM one basically whatever CPU you have you can put one of these on it and it will be good composite key pipe Salomon's pompously heat pipe features a sintered metal type of wick resulting in outstanding capillary pumping performance a high thermal conductive design of axial grooves which increases the heat transfer rate by 50 percent compared to ordinary Hugh is this is there's this is more traditional types and I'm going to tell you what's cool about that because he pipes would rely on gravity they would if they weren't better designed than that so Zalman is saying that they're better than gravity reliance design is better than other people's better than gravity reliance design now if you don't know a little something about how he pipes work and I'm going to do a short little lesson here that might help you the way heat pipes work is they have a liquid inside it can be water it can be something else and the liquid boils vaporizes and carries with it liquid and heat up to the extremities of the pipe where it then condenses and flows back to the bottom where it'll get heated up again as a liquid again this is an extremely efficient way of moving heat around however when you take it and you install it in a case all of a sudden you can't rely on you know just hotter things rising helping and you can't rely on gravity to carry the liquid back down to the CPU so that is why there's textures or patterns on the inside edges of the heat pipe to carry the liquid back to where it needs to be heated up again so can carry heat away from your CPU so Zelman is basically saying their way of doing that is more efficient so their heat pipe will perform better than others particularly in scenarios where it's not going to be gravity assistance if you have a desktop case where it's going to sit like this honestly probably makes no difference whatsoever but since almost everyone is using a tower these days it will probably be a factor for you I've always liked zelmans mounting mechanisms they tend to come with a lot of pieces but they tend to also be very flexible and once you get them on they're very secure as well so let's not look at what we've got included here in terms of accessories fan resistor for well the fan as well as a four pin version so you got a three pin or four pin version depending on what you want to use you got some of their included thermal goop Zen em STG - okay you've got ha ha you've got an included tool so you'll actually be able to install something the stuff it was something I've seen this before ah these ones there you go so you got like a little like ball and socket thing going on here so you can actually screw things in from a weird angle it's very useful okay you've got your back plate zolomon case badge you've got a non conductive Lake no shield for that AMD mounting hardware right here you got your Intel mounting hardware right here there's your 775 your 1156 your 1366 and and I don't actually see the I guess one of these is probably something to do with it okay so it's a little complicated comes with a lot of pieces like I said usually very secure that's what I've come to expect from them and they've actually got everything very very well laid out for you here until clip AMD clip and and all the installation instructions will make it pretty straightforward this is not like the what was it the enttec cooler box which took me about 45 minutes to get installed on the motherboard because it like things entered like once you got it starting to be installed things started to interfere with each other and you couldn't install it pretty tough so it's kind of a neat way to pack this to make sure that nothing gets bent you know so the fins don't fins don't get damaged so the heat pipes don't get bent so it's got a total of six heat pipes here guys so right there you got for them coming out one way leading to this guy - or the two of them here two of them on the inside track and then you've got two coming out the other side that are leading to the other ring of aluminum fins so these are copper heat pipes aluminum fins and the base is extremely shiny so there's the obligatory finger shot there where you can see it's basically a mirror mirror surface so how does this work what would make this cooler more efficient in a smaller space than other ones I'll tell you guys right now what makes it more efficient the fact that it has a central fan and it is taking advantage of not only the air that it is pushing on the back of the fan but also the air that it is bringing in from the front one of the things that's going to make it quieter than what you would typically see as well is the fact that there's not a lot of shrouding you're not forcing a lot of the airflow at or around or through things that are restrictive and noisy so you generally get very quiet performance with zalman coolers although not necessarily like the most extreme because let's face it if you have a cooler that's three times the size of this then it's no secret which one is probably going to keep your CPU at lower temperatures what I really want to do is I want to check this one out in there where is it the 11 + h f1 edition which has red LEDs and so what we'll be doing is once we're done with this guy we're going to throw a motherboard and a power supply in there and have a look at what an all Zelman cooled and cased machine is going to look like so thank you for checking out this unboxing your first look and don't forget to subscribe to - tech tips from our boxing's reviews on other computer videos and actually here just get some close-ups of what it all like looks like very shiny Zellman is I'm a master of sort of the detail of a CPU cooler making sure it looks really good look sharp performs well one of my first aftermarket CPU coolers I ever bought was a Zalman CN PS 7,000 Cu I got the all copper version because I wanted to be baller like that yeah
