This video reconciled me with the human race. I am 58 years old and I decided to build my first pc by myself. I shopped all of the components and did a lot of research to make sure everything was compatible. I messed up installing the cpu cooler. The 2 parts suppliers (INTEL and Newegg) didn't even try to help me. This video showed me the procedure very clearly and even if I really don't understand well english, I managed to assemble my beautiful FULL RGB PC. Thanks a lot ! Lise
@@PC_HardwareTechUnboxing_1 i have looked at so many videos it shows how you put the cooler on but never the argb now i do know how to do it but there are others will have a blank page if they bought a new motherboard and not looked at the manual online also twocents never shown where they would go 10/10 detail is most important if and what you are describing to the viewer.
Man this was so helpful. Instead of panic watching it when I got stuck I wished I had just watched it a few times before hand. I really struggled with getting the screws lined up. The instructions say to move them all towards the center for lga1200, so I did that, but nothing lined up. It's really more of a gentle brute force to get them in place. I had turned off hyper boost before putting this cooler on because I was hitting 100c by just opening visual studio. Now I'm maxing at 75c during benchmarks with hyper boost back on. Thanks so much!
They are different places on different mobos, very easy to miss, I had to look up my manual and use an led headlamp to find the one closest to cpu, labeled in tiny writing but you probably know by now 🙂
Thank you so much the tutorial votroo has is super helpful. However when it comes to the fan clips they do not talk about them at all. You saved me a lot of unholy words thank You.
Im buying this bad guy (but in black paint) for my ryzen 5 5600x, I was curious about how to install it and I find this vid very helpful. Thans a lot 😊
Thanks for this. It's funny, the replacement dinky fams came with installation instructions, but the cpu cooler just came as a pile of parts. I was really overwhelmed by the pipe thingy. Thank you!!
Prolly gonna upgrade my stock wraith stealth on my ryzen 7 5700g to this. It’s a low TDP, and based on what I’ve seen, it should knock down my thermals by a good 10-ish degrees.
Hey may i ask how? i bought a prebuilt its coming tomorrow. and im switching the cpu fan it came with to this one. I would love to hear how you manage or if possible i could use a pair of eyes to help me install it without having to take it out of the case.
@@rindirion2562 Yes i did. It wasnt super complicated. I was just being super careful so i didn't damage anything. Watched someone as well take out and put in my old fan as well to be super safe. (first time replacing a fan) Oh i did have to take the fan out lucky for me it was a simple unplug the wire and take out 4 screws so it was simple. (the screws were just annoying to take out)
@@sonicxsamc I'm in the same situation I ordered a prebuilt and am switching to this cooler. I just wanted to know if this worked well enough and also if it was hard to figure out where the cables went. Also what was the motherboard in that prebuilt?
Is the fan on backwards? Don’t the arrows on the fan show you which way the air is blowing and shouldn’t the air be blown out and not into the radiator?
Nice review. I just ordered the black one coming tomorrow. I wrote Vetroo and asked them if you could plug the ARGB connector on this to the hub that comes with the Aigo DR 12 Pro fan set. They said yes. Not sure if it will sync with the fans I have but might can change colors with the remote.
Since there are so many diffferent CPU Coolers and patents for these companies to work around, you will see quite a few different styles of back plates. That said, there are quite a few that are compatible with each other....some of better quality than others. You may find the same thread/thread height...and one is made of plastic and the other of steel. But as you noted...using the OEM's backplate is probably the wisest.
I'm replacing a cooler with this one. Do I really need to mess with the back of my motherboard? Can't I just use the threads from my previous cooler? (assuming they are the same)
There are so many different types of base plates with threaded posts. If the one you have is just visible than most likely it is threaded the same and you will be able to use it. I have so many cpu coolers I do occasionally forget which base plate goes with which cooler and sometimes you just get lucky.
I got the Black version. The fan lighting does not work. Does the ARBG have to be connected for it to work? Most fans will at least light up connected to the CPU four pin but you'll get only Rainbow effect. But mine wouldn't even give me that. Any ideas?
How did u get the RGB to work? I have the same cpu cooler and installed it today but I don’t know where the RGB cables go to, there are 2 cables for it I don’t know I have to use both or only one
3 pin rgb is ARGB (addressable RGB) while 4 pin RGB is standard RGB. 3 pin ARGB has more options and it's not recommended to connect a 3 pin ARGB to 4 pin RGB.
@@PC_HardwareTechUnboxing_1 well I’m still gathering parts to buy all at once, I just wanted to know in advance. But do I need a particular type of motherboard? Thanks
@@Bookieshookie Most brands should provide a software that you can download as shown in the video...sometimes its in the bios on the better motherboards.
Here are a couple of videos that feature this CPU Cooler inside of a Fractal Design case. The case doesn't have the best air flow, but the cpu cooler holds its own: I3-10320: th-cam.com/video/oI-G8zy_f-Y/w-d-xo.html I3-10100: th-cam.com/video/oI-G8zy_f-Y/w-d-xo.html I may put an I9-10900f in it in the future.
To purchase this CPU cooler, currently $34.99 w/ $10 off coupon: amzn.to/3lAIyAX
I stated LGA 1151when I should have stated LGA 1200 (Z490m).
Nice I am buying it

this is the only video i can say that it has a fully installation process including addressable rgb installation in detail omg someone with sense.
Thank you for the kind words!

10/10 detail is most important if and what you are describing to the viewer.
I’m glad someone had a video for mounting the fan lol. I could not figure it out. Thank you.
Those brackets were a pain, thank you for making this video, it was a big help.
@PC H/W and tech what CPU processor are you using
Thank you so much! Those fan clips were about to make me start day drinking!!!

Was having trouble figuring out how to install the fan. Thanks for the help.
Glad I could help
Wish he would’ve showed us where he plugged the addressable rgb cable 😞 that was the whole reason why I came here.

I just installed mine last night. This thing is a BEAST!
Temps never got higher than 76c.
My system has a Ryzen 5 3600. Great video, thanks.
@ITSSMATXE same man
Those clips were driving me crazy, thank you very much!
Glad it helped!
Really appreciate this video David. First time PC building and this is helping
Love you for this. Great video, especially the clips.

Moving it to a new PC. That sticky backing is a pain to get off!
No kidding...
This video was extremely helpful, I plan on upgrading my intel stock cooler to this.
Hi if youve upgraded yet can u tell me if u had to take out ur entire mobo to do so or what did u do?
Thanks for the tutorial. I was replacing mine and could not figure it out.
Glad I could help
Thanks for this was stuck on how to install the fan on the heat sink. My first time now I have no clue what plugs into what
Thanks for this. It's funny, the replacement dinky fams came with installation instructions, but the cpu cooler just came as a pile of parts. I was really overwhelmed by the pipe thingy. Thank you!!
thanks man just had a headache trying to hook those brackets by myself
Those wires to clip the fan in place were the biggest pain in the rear
I swear it took me 2 HOURS to clip then on finally
Thanks much for the info on the fan clips!!!
My cousin bought that exact CPU cooler and I helped him put it on
Thanks dude!!
Thanks man very helpful👍🏽
My man, you're a good seed!
So you have to remove the motherboard from your case to put the bracket behind the motherboard I don’t wanna do that I’m gonna send it back.
Depends on your case...you may be able access it from the left panel
Awesome
Thanks shawty
I didn't get the instructions I can't believe it they sold a second hand product 😄 anyways that's okay thanks David for sharing
How tight do you screw things down? Im afraid I will damage my socket if I overtighten lol
Thank you very much!
You're welcome!
Prolly gonna upgrade my stock wraith stealth on my ryzen 7 5700g to this. It’s a low TDP, and based on what I’ve seen, it should knock down my thermals by a good 10-ish degrees.

This helped me a lot thanks
Glad it helped
This was a huge pain trying to get the fan on inside the case lol but I managed
Hey may i ask how? i bought a prebuilt its coming tomorrow. and im switching the cpu fan it came with to this one. I would love to hear how you manage or if possible i could use a pair of eyes to help me install it without having to take it out of the case.
@@sonicxsamc did you figure out how to install it without taking it apart?
@@rindirion2562 Yes i did. It wasnt super complicated. I was just being super careful so i didn't damage anything. Watched someone as well take out and put in my old fan as well to be super safe.

@@yakobd2402 honestly after matching a install video on youtube. it was quite easy with my prebuilt so try if you feel it might be worth.

Was looking for the plugging of the rgb connector on the fan and that wasn't in the video.
When youre screwing the cooler in, are the springs supposed to go through the bracket hole?
Nice review. I just ordered the black one coming tomorrow. I wrote Vetroo and asked them if you could plug the ARGB connector on this to the hub that comes with the Aigo DR 12 Pro fan set. They said yes. Not sure if it will sync with the fans I have but might can change colors with the remote.
You literally saved me hours
So if you already have a a backplate thats for lga 1151 on your motherboard donyou need to still use the bracket that comes in the box ?
Since there are so many diffferent CPU Coolers and patents for these companies to work around, you will see quite a few different styles of back plates. That said, there are quite a few that are compatible with each other....some of better quality than others. You may find the same thread/thread height...and one is made of plastic and the other of steel. But as you noted...using the OEM's backplate is probably the wisest.

whats the extra cable that is beside the 3 pin ARGB for?
I'm a bit late, but I assume it's a female 3 pin to daisy chain fans with a 3pin ARGB male.
Thanks bro
Just put this in a PC and wasn't sure how to adjust the color settings. Thank you.
I downloaded rgb fusion, i have a gigabyte motherboard, but the app just stayed blank, and only showed profile 1 at the top. Anything i can do?

@@PC_HardwareTechUnboxing_1 Okay cool. Thanks for the reply!
What are the temperatures at rest and in use while playing?
I got the Black version. The fan lighting does not work. Does the ARBG have to be connected for it to work? Most fans will at least light up connected to the CPU four pin but you'll get only Rainbow effect. But mine wouldn't even give me that. Any ideas?
Answer th-cam.com/video/ua--wn0hA9s/w-d-xo.html
Does the fan go pointing the GPU?
Can this be mounted vertically with the fan facing upwards?
It can not
@@JacobScheps It can be mounted horizontal or vertical, but only with an intel mobo.
@@tommcdavid9917, yes, not on an am4 socket from what ive experienced with my own
Did it came with thermal paste?
How did u get the RGB to work? I have the same cpu cooler and installed it today but I don’t know where the RGB cables go to, there are 2 cables for it I don’t know I have to use both or only one
@@DimzReacts it’s alright I already got it figured out it was simple 🤦♂️
funny to see that youre the top search
You put the fan clips on wrong that's why they don't stay on good.
They hook inside not outside
Sorry, you're right. I didn't have a problem getting mine on though
I have a b460M d3sh and if i use this cooler what software do i have to use to change colors?
i have the same question
Bro, i connected the rgb cable into the wrong thing and the whole fan burnt😭
Sorry to hear...Hopefully, you can buy a replacement fan thru their customer service.
Hi can you put the software down to change the cpu cooler
Who makes your motherboard?
@@PC_HardwareTechUnboxing_1 gigabyte
Great cooler, I got the black version and it keeps my cpu at 40 c
What CPU do you have?
@@PC_HardwareTechUnboxing_1 Ryzen 5 3600
Won't connect to my gigabyte RGB header as it is three pin on the fan but four pin on my motherboard!!! That sucks
3 pin rgb is ARGB (addressable RGB) while 4 pin RGB is standard RGB. 3 pin ARGB has more options and it's not recommended to connect a 3 pin ARGB to 4 pin RGB.
@@JesterInTheNight I bought a Corsair icue RGB case and a different motherboard in the end lol
@@dronedays450 well hot damn, moving on up in the world? GG my guy 🤤
Again, sorry for the very Kate reply as I just viewed this video and was bored, reading through comments~ hopefully my comment was helpful atleast~
How do I install the software to control the rgb
What is your motherboard?
Here is a video I previously had done... th-cam.com/video/-fbrv3VO7oA/w-d-xo.html
@@PC_HardwareTechUnboxing_1 well I’m still gathering parts to buy all at once, I just wanted to know in advance. But do I need a particular type of motherboard? Thanks
@@Bookieshookie Most brands should provide a software that you can download as shown in the video...sometimes its in the bios on the better motherboards.
@@PC_HardwareTechUnboxing_1 ok thank you so much
Hi
whats the software called?
You will use the specific one that is on your motherboards download page..under Support. Same area you find bios update or drivers
what was the third cable for, that you left dangling?
It’s a daisy chain not exactly a third cable
Do you need to plug in the rgb cable?
gg
