hey YouTube welcome back to tech a Siddhas baronies coming back to you guys today with an unboxing a full review of the Animax t 40 so this is Anna Max's budget CPU cooler and from a lot of reviews that I've read it does an extremely good job of cooling now since this piece of crap here died as you guys probably know I have been looking sort of I'm probably gonna go back to air cooling especially since in Japan I cannot get custom parts it's so hard to get custom water cooling parts here so I'm figuring I'm gonna go with air cooling I've kind of lost faith in a stack there water pump died on me so that was a shame and yeah it's kind of hard to recommend you know 14 months mean it's rated it have supposedly rated a hundred thousand hours but I only got about two thousand hours out of my cooler before it died so that's pretty sad now unboxing this product we can see that straight away we get the mounting brackets for both AMD and Intel you also get the LGA 2011 bracket as well so comes loaded with brackets you also get in here thermal paste from Animax as well so that's I really like that how they're letting the user apply the thermal paste themselves which I like I like that better than these pre applied thermal pads nowadays that you're getting service like that from Animax attention to detail now I'm boxing the product itself you're getting actually I was surprised this cooler is actually a bit bigger than I thought it was it comes extremely well packaged I mean I like the fact that the the most important part of the cooler which is the contact area is actually boxed away from the box as well so if there was damage to the box it still wouldn't touch the heatsink the direct the contact area so that's really good so unboxing that this is what you get here this is the main product you guys have come to see the Animax 240 there it is there in the flesh really good looking product I like it it looks amazing this here is the most impressive feature is the direct contact pipes there's four of these coming through the base of the contact area now the good thing to note is that they're more towards the center of the area as well which is really good I like that because as you guys know the core but below the heat spreader actually based around here so it's going to be pretty much direct touching those heat pipes directly which is awesome now the whole product itself feels really well built it's feels actually pretty damn sturdy I'm going to say straight away it comes with an Animax fan which actually looks pretty damn impressive too that's what I think this fan looks impressive the whole thing looks nice and shiny and impressive it also comes with a braided cable on the pwm fan controller so it's also a four pin as well so it'll read out the speeds as well which is really good now the I will say straight away though is I put my nail over here there are little episode tiny gaps between the heat pipe and the base so you can feel that if you rub your nail on there so that's something that you know it can't be helped though means a thirty dollar cooler I can't nitpick it that much yeah that's what you get that's the cooler itself I'm gonna now install this I'm gonna get some benchmarks for you guys and tell you how the installation was as well and if it was a breeze er if it was hard and if it was hard I'll point out what pacifically was hard about the installation so let's get on with that yes and another thing before we install the cooler I want you guys to get an alcohol wipe and take this sticker off take this off here and I want you to wipe this down before you do it because the reason why is because even if it comes out of the factory it's still gonna have ever so slight amounts of dust or you know just have a sticker on it so it's gonna have some sort of debris on there so I always before I install stuff even if it does look perfect I like to wipe it down with an alcohol wipe I get all the debris off there get all any crap I mean even though there's not much there probably still would be a little bit so I think a lot of people fail to do this before they install the cooler and it's just one of those nitpick things that I do so that you know you're welcome to do it yeah so I'm doing this now just gonna wipe this down for you guys and wipe down for myself too and then a polish rack so I got a polish rag just wipe it down and there we go look at that even more shinier than it was before which is really good that's what we want so awesome anyway let's get on to installing this thing and see how well it okay here's a quick size comparison for you guys here enter max T for T stop intel heat sink fan I mean look at that this thing is just that I mean it's like I said it's bigger than I thought it was so it's gonna do a lot better of a job than this one today let's get on with it it looks actually really easy for me just getting into it now this bracket here this is on an LGA 1150 even though it doesn't say it's officially supports it I think it will put this here in there slide it underneath your motherboard until the holes all line up so just doing that now so it may take some time but there we go got it there is that all the holes I can see all the holes there and just two corners you put the washers down on top and just put that in there like that and screw it yeah I wish I had surgeon hands I'll try the other corner yeah just I mean this is this is my weeks this is my weak spot so my Achilles heel is installing nuts and bolts so just get two of the corners in preferably diagonals because that'll hold it in properly and then you can take your hand off the back plate and relax a little bit so just like that so this is just the first part of installation so a lot of people buy a car you know how to install these things I'm just here to show you guys it's it's actually really easy so the back this is actually amazing this is actually really easy easy so I will loosen that up a bit just to make sure that it's perfect because you don't want the holes touching the corners because you know that'll take away from I guess it could hit the PCB and you know just perfectionist stuff if you're doing an install do it properly guys so sorry my hand is probably blocking it a bit but you can see that the installation is just a breeze really easy on this so far I'm just installing it now now me having a flat base case actually make the job a little bit easier so just installing that now now just when you screw the screws in again just make sure they're firm so don't overdo it don't whole kit because you could cross thread stuff but at the same time make sure the bolts are in pretty firmly like that so that's that that's ready to go for the next stage okay so the next part is really easy you just put this down on here just down on here like that and just these bolts here install these ones so doing doing like so so I must admit it feels really like installation is a breeze I like that Animax so far anyway I mean it doesn't officially support an LGA 1150 so you guys are wondering what's the difference there actually is a difference and that is that the chips it's ever so slightly lower and especially since I've D loaded my chip as well it will slip sit a little bit lower as well so you know keen to see if it actually works fine I hope it will so there that's the next part you just fasten those down like that this is gonna be the base for which your cooler is going to sit on and that's the next part done okay so the next part you want to get kind of going to want to do is put these thermal paste on the chip which I've done there as you can see that I put PK some prolimatech PK 3 this is my stuff of choice PK 3 I'll put this on the chip and you can see that's looking good now another thing is also I recommend taking off the fan off the heatsink so that's going to make installation easier as well okay now we're ready for the next part so once the fans off you just put it in here now with LGA 1150 it's pretty damn tight as you can see here the RAM so this is why you should take the fan off because the RAM will actually sit pretty um yeah the fan will come over the RAM so you want to take the fan off install it and then put the fan on now nothing the other thing to note is they and this is pretty much touching the N I see so pretty damn dangerous I wanna like make sure that's there so put that on there make sure it's sort of you know I'm gonna make sure it's not touching my ni C but it's pretty it's pretty nerve-wracking so if you were on a if you were on a micro ATX board that's something to be careful of too so that's pretty damn scary so that's why I generally don't like micro ATX boards but yeah it's just one of those things you can also you also have the option of turning it this way if you want to and install it that way I'm just going to do it the normal way show you guys now the next part is to get this bracket and just slide this in under here so again my hands aren't the best for doing this but just put that in there and yeah it fits no problems like it fits absolutely no problems on the LGA you know it fits no problems on this LGA so I'm going to move it a little bit up now just away from my ni C and then I'm gonna use these bolts to use these bolts here to fasten it and put it on this way so put that one on there and put this one on here and that's about it that's all there is to installation put the fan back on and we're good to go so we'll tighten that pretty tight making sure it's away from my ni see ya it looks it's looking good you know this is looking really good at the moment looking really good so that's it that's all there is to it that's the Animax installed guys okay so you guys can see that it's 26 degrees in here and I mean I can't this Animax fan is really quiet I can't even hear it the only thing I can hear at the moment is my aircon it's a little bit hot today I'm just cooling it down to try and get the ambient ends to 25 degrees which is my every ambient temp that I love testing things up but yeah so we're gonna run some benchmarks now and show you guys what the results are all right so I thought before the results this is the final video before the results this is another way you can mount this so I really like this cooler you can as you can see here I've mounted it fading facing the north of the not motherboard so this is actually a lot better as you can see there there's finally a gap between my ni C and the heat sink now so it's really good I also noticed better temperatures slightly with this way because of the fact that my heat sink if you look at your heat sink closely there will be imperfections with it so look at the contact plate and see which way would be better for you now the RAM as well something to notice with this is you will want low profile memory if you do the install this way so that's something to take into account anyway let's move on to the results alright so here's the results for you guys on the left here is the Animax t40 now this is a 27 degrees ambience six-minute run in prime95 it's the max heat test it's a this is on a deleted chip as well I have deleted my house well chip it's running at 4.2 gigs at 1.12 volts now I am using cool laboratory's liquid pro on the core and pk3 on the internal head spray heat spreader on the right this is my water cooler now this piece of died already but this thing I did put cool amorites liquid pro on the core and on the actual heat spreader itself when I was doing my testing this is a video I'm gonna make soon I've done all the results I'm gonna make that video soon for you guys comparing heatsink pace against one another but as you can see there it's 25 degrees ambience it's same set you know same settings 4.2 gig 1.2 1 2 volt it performed on my in my opinion three degrees worse than the Animax t 40 so that says a lot for the Animax t 40 this thing is just amazing i am so impressed with the Animax you know they should just rename that company to energies because i literally wanted to jizz all over this product it is just that's led the best 30 dollars i have spent on a tech product in a long time let's give you guys a look at a 4.6 gig overclock seven degrees ambient temps this was done at again yeah in the summer I mean 4.6 gigs in the summer this thing didn't even cap 70 degrees you guys have to remember that prime95 is a heat stress tester I mean you are not gonna you know most a lot of games you know you're never really going to see these temps this is just like a maximum theoretical testing program and for it to not even pop 70 degrees in the summer you know for a $30 cooler this thing is just amazing I'm gonna recommend these things in my budget builds hands down now over the cooler masters over pretty much any other cooler this thing is perfect for house well you know it just cools the sink so efficiently I think I'll go for a 4.8 gig over might even try for a 5 gig this thing is just amazing so Animax really does give you max value for money kudos to Animax for the such an amazing cooler I can highly recommend it just an amazing experience 11 LGA 1150 it fits absolutely no problems be careful though with high profile memory you may have a problem there if you wish to install that so if you're gonna buy your memory you're gonna buy with this cooler maybe get some low profile memory also be careful of that you know as you saw with my installation the ni C was really close so I actually had to refit it another thing I did do I did make a slight mistake in the installation video I did mount the final bracket that pressurizes the core down I did mount that upside down so just twist that around and put it in with the little dots going into the groove anyway that's about it guys if you enjoyed this review please give it a thumbs up and if you haven't already subscribed attack your city well be coming back to you guys soon with a video comparing thermal paste so I'm gonna be putting all these I've done all the tests already I've got all the results I'm just going to put them into graphs and videos for you guys and yeah there is also pretty interesting so we got pk3 our tekzilla 5 and cout laboratories liquid pro so anyway guys amazing value for money this product is the shiznit so if you're looking for a CPU cooler and you're on a 4 core I can ha thoroughly recommend this product is just amazing you guys peace out for now anybody
