today I’m going to bring you an all-in-one liquid cooling unit from
probably the last company you're expecting to do anything like this
for your CPU today we're going to be doing an unboxing and a brief overview of the Sapphire
S360-A a 360 millimeter liquid cooling unit I am super excited to unbox this and build for you so
come over here real quick and let's get started I feel a little weird not seeing the Sapphire
Nitro Radeon but it's the Sapphire Nitro S360-A a liquid cooling unit Sapphire's first attempt at
liquid cooling a CPU along the front here we can see a pretty cool little spider creation here
some ink or liquid and then there's their Nitro logo and then S360-A along the side here kind
of along the same over here we can see without the glare actually let me go ahead and take off
this real quick
yes it comes
wrapped in that so along the bottom here we can see it's just Sapphire Nitro S360-A I keep wanting
to save Radeon along the side here serial number UPC all that good stuff nothing much over here
that very odd design the bottom of the box just the seal there and then what we saw earlier
394 millimeters 72.3 thick 25.48 fan thickness 27 radiator thickness and we'll go over all of
this in one second as we're doing the unboxing but just wanted to show you that real quick
all right so first off we have the Nitro AIO CPU cooler series quick installation guide
there's going to be basic information on here mind you it's still going to be good but don't
worry about it I’m going to be making a video just for you on how to do that so stay tuned for that
we have three 120 millimeter fans you can see they all have different part numbers
you can see that right over here
okay and they also have three one two so depending where you put this
it actually does make a difference just taking the first fan out
look at that okay that's kind of nice so the way they do these fins they're really close together
they're tiny and they have a ton of them and then they have this covered right over here now
trying to get some good lighting on that you can see the Sapphire logo there
and then along the back here first the dc brushless now you can see these aren't regular
four pin or three pin fan headers so it goes wrapped up around here and then into here so it is
a teeny tiny short cable you can't well I mean you could take it off you could take it out from here
but it's not really going to do much so the insulation is going to be exciting
again there's three of those 120 millimeter fans and those fans are dual ball bearing
all right over here a little baggie with some standoffs here for the Intel 1700 series processor
and then for the AM4 processor and then a baggie here with a bunch of different type of screws
and washers then a baggie with a bunch of thumb screws and standoffs for Intel socket 1200 115x
and 1366 processors then a baggie with an Intel back plate
an Intel retention ring
all right coming over here okay in this baggie we'll find the radiator fan cables now over here
is where it's going to tell you which fan to connect to so for example number three
number two
and number one and this cable seems to be about maybe 24 inches
and I’ll have the measurement down below and then this
surely will connect to the radiator not 100 sure just yet so taking this out of the box
I’m going to put the box so taking that out there's nothing else in this portion of the box
this is a 400 millimeter EPDM tube with nylon mesh sleeving just bringing you in a
little bit closer so you can see how nicely braided this is over here feels nice too
then over here on the pump itself that's where they got their design from the pump
itself and that looks pretty slick now I don't know if that's going to add anything
to how well it cools but it does look pretty nice so then we have a SATA power connection
that's going to be powering everything here then here along coming along this cable we have a 4
pin PWM header it's probably going to go on the CPU or AIO pump header and then wrapped in velcro
that does come off easily okay so we can see that that cable gets
a little bit longer the side of power cable and I’ll go ahead put measurements in the screen now
for this then we have that same connection we saw on the fans so this is where the fans connect into
or should I say this cable that the fans connect to then over here we have the ARGB
connections so you can see right there three pin then we have right over here the male version
again I’m getting ahead of myself I haven't done the installation just yet and then we have
back to that four pin so two ARGB connections one male one female one four pin PWM
actually another four pin PWM so this will be for CPU fan right over here
and this one doesn't actually say anything but two
four pin PWM cables there and the SATA power cable again this hose is 400 millimeters
and it leads to the radiator bring you across this way all right these are 120 millimeter
fans so you would just remove this and we'll go ahead and remove this tape they want to make sure
that everything is nice no scratches and no dust when you get it depending how long these will sit
on the shelves but I will be doing some testing and maybe they won't sit on the shelves too long
because it might be amazing you can see right over here 394 millimeters in length 120.5 millimeters
in width 27 millimeters in thickness the fans are 25.48 millimeters together they make 52.48
millimeters in thickness with the fan and the radiator now they have a measurement that is 72.8
millimeters and that's a little bit odd of a measurement but that's including the fan the
radiator and then the little connection here if it were disconnected from the hose itself so what I
was mentioning about this little design here this is Sapphire's brand new unique organic spider pump
cap design now it's just a design I don't think it's going to add anything to the cooling itself
attached to the pump itself itself is the AMD retention ring so don't think they forgot to
include it in the box I’m going to take this off just for right now okay comes pre-applied with its
own thermal paste you know if you wanted to take this off just push it in turn it and take it off
now I’m going to be testing with this thermal paste to find out if it's any good but I’ll let
you know definitely in the video now the pump and everything is PWM controlled by the BIOS so you
get to control everything here depending of course on where you plug this header into the motherboard
and this entire design is based off of Asetek 7th gen pump for what they call their maximum thermal
performance we'll definitely find out how true that is then as I was showing you here with the
ARGB connections these work as a pass through so whereas you would connect one over here you would
take this off connect it into another one and then continue the chain that way you can extend it just
about as long as you'd like now this pump along with all these mounting mechanisms will support
AMD AM4 then Intel LGA 11 5x 1200 20xx socket and the latest LGA 1700 now the reason I was calling
this so odd because Sapphire doesn't generally or ever touch CPUs but this is utilizing their brand
new organic spider pump cap design the hybrid fan blade design how they're all so tiny so close
together and all that comes from the Nitro plus RX 6000 series graphics card combined with Asetek 7th
gen pump so a lot of it is going to look a little bit similar to some of you and then for all of us
because everything is just so new it's going to look incredibly new now of course on the pump the
pre-applied paste if you don't like it you could wipe it off and put your own but no matter what
don't forget to take this off because if not it's just going to fit really weird and then if you
don't have AM4 make sure to take this off and pop one of these guys on there now I like the way that
that looks now I’m wondering because I haven't installed it just yet I’m wondering if these
little eyes are going to be RGB lit or if anything else on this unit is going to be RGB lit this
even though it kind of looks like it it's not metal this is plastic
but the bottom here is copper of course this has variable pump speeds anywhere from 800 to
2800 rpms with a maximum pump noise of 20 dba starting off the fans will hit 450 rpms
and at max 2 400 rpms on the lower side it will generate 17.9 dba of noise and then on the higher
side it'll generate up to 36.2 dba again these guys are PWM controlled by your BIOS so I’m
trying my hardest not to touch that cold plate so that I don't get any of that thermal paste
on I really want to test with that thermal paste but I’m excited to see what Sapphire can do with
CPUs they do an amazing job with GPU’s as it is are they going to do such a great job again this
is their first but anyway let me know what you think and what are you thinking along the lines
of CPUs are you thinking 12900k or 5900x 12900k is going to get hotter and is going to
test it a lot more than the 5900x will let me know down in the comments below which you prefer
and why do you prefer what do you think about this and how is it going to compare again this
is their first endeavor into liquid cooling CPU liquid cooling so while it's Sapphire and
I’m expecting amazing things but they're going to get all the information from you from me from all
of us on what might be right what might be wrong keep doing what's right make it better and then
fix whatever's wrong but anyway this is Iggy with ThisBytesForYou doing an unboxing
and overview of the Sapphire Nitro S360-A Iggy with ThisBytesForYou up see you guys
