      Go over to Linus, they made such a video.
      Pointed out the corsair is larger, costs more and is noisier than the NH-D15.
      The Assassin slightly beat the Noctua temps, but was like 6db louder in worst case.
      For the Dark Rock Pro 4 I do not know.
      I saw a German test in which Noctua's single tower TR/TRX40 NH-U14S beat the crap out of the Dark Rock Pro 4 TR4/TRX40 by 14-15K once you added a second NF-A15 fan to it.
      Basically all tested dual tower coolers lost by more than 10K to the Noctua with dual fan on Threadripper and all Noctua also won on the noise level aswell.
      The test was so one sided that they repeated it again just to make sure there were no errors.
      What I do not like about be quiet is their warranty, they write big mtbf number's on their stuff, because most do not even know what it really means, but they do not vouch for it.
      While Noctua gives on all their stuff 6 year's warranty, which now even coolermaster does for some stuff be quiet depending on the product gives 3 or 5 year's, for coolers and fan's 3 year's was the max and 5 for PSUs.
      Especially on PSUs this is sad as their's are usualy not the best in or top contender in the respective price range aside from noise, but they top out at 5 year's warranty where nearly everyone else gives like 7 year's and most stuff done by Seasonic will have like 10 year's (some even 12).
      This gives me a hard time recommending them.

    The settings for your motherboard are quite a bit off at least for direct comparison. The initial run shows the CPU wattage as 240-260W, whereas the second set of testing shows draw at 190-ish watts, which would make sense as to why your thermals were reduced somewhat.

    I just picked up a Corsair H100i Pro today to replace my Cryorig H7 on my 8700k. With the H7 I was able to run 4.7 @ 1.16v high 60's/low 70's c under load. After installing the H100i I set the multiplier to 50 and voltage to 1.32. Saw temps of high 70's, then started backing the voltage off. Got down to 1.24v before I stopped lowering it because the temps were already great at 60-61c. It's also a LOT quieter than the H7.
    Was a dedicated air cooled guy until today. Now I'm all about that water cooling life.

    Wow, i do love the new ideas on this cooler. As you said, others are already well established, but with the innovations on the A500, corsair definately deserves a piece of the aircooling-cake! Pricewise though... i think 15-20 bucks less would help a lot in gaining those marketshares...

    So Jay, got my ROG STRIX board put into my first GEN Corsair Pro replacing the Z270 MSI board. The fit was just fine, I'll snap some pics and send them over to FB. I even had room for both harddrives, waiting on the I7 9700K to arrive today to replace the chip. It started life as a CORSAIR ONE PRO Compact Gaming PC - Intel Core i7-7700K, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, 32GB DDR4-2400, 480GB M.2 SSD, 2TB HDD, just over Christmas and I'm already doing dirty things to it...Ram will be next on the list. I couldn't afford retail on it, so I bought it off of Amazon renew, which left me a little budget for playing. I replaced the 2TB HDD with a 2TB Samsung EVO SSD and move the 2TB over to a scratch drive. I moved to the ROG STRIX because I wasn't sold on the the airflow being sufficient to cool the M.2 on the back of the board and it was creeping at idle up to the mid to high 50 degrees Celsius and eventually, I want to jump to a I9 in addition to the 64GB Ram. I just can't justify getting something other than the 1080TI now. Haven't messed with building/modifying PCs in about 20 years, life, babies, wife, army, war got in the way for a while. Kinda doing this with my last kid in the house who is really into gaming.

      I happened to come across this comment again and noticed a few people replying to my comment who seem to have no idea how to actually test things. So here is an explanation:
      The variable measured in this video is the temperature. It is dependant on the heat generated by the cpu and the fan rpm. However, values for the temperature as displayed in the video are meaningless, if the other variables aren't mentioned at all.
      It's like saying T= x + y with T = 75. This equation has infinite solutions for x & y, so displaying a value for T doesn't tell me anything.
      A more practical example: if I would strap a 10,000 rpm server fan onto an Intel stock heatsink the temperature would also be low. The only way to compare this solution to other coolers would be to mention that a 10,000 rpm server fan is extremely noisy.
      So this video tells me nothing about the cooler except that it works. How does it compare to other solutions? How expensive is it in comparison to other products? I wouldn't know and that is the issue I am having with this video.

    The sliding mechanism is really innovative and doesn't force you to remove the whole cooler because of RAM clearance. The top removable cover is also cool and it can stay. I just hope the change the fans color to black and if they can pull out the same cooler but with 140mm fans instead of 120mm for better cooling. Also fixing the db of the cooler since it's really loud under full load. 48 db.

      Cinema 4D is a real thing. People do rendering with it all day long. It's not a torture test, it's a normal production workload. Typically running for FAAAR longer than a benchmark. Like hours. Or days.

    I think an installation of this cooler in a commonly used PC case with a noise and cooling performance comparison between the A500 and the NH-D15 would be helpful. With varying workloads and CPU configs, of course. I think a lot of us would like to see this in a Ryzen 3700x or 3900x setup.

    Price to high & outperformed by 140mm fan coolers that end up being same size as this 120mm fan cooler. Pass.

    I'm fairly certain corsair did water coolers before accessories. My first water cooler was a Corsair external hydro cool 200 back in 2003. Also I recently tried out a air cooler for the first time since I used that hydro cool, I'm using a coolermaster MA620M, it is by far the best looking air cooler on the market and it manages to keep my 3950x to about 80c while running handbreak for nearly an hour. You should try running handbreak for a while, it makes my cpu run much hotter than cinebench.

    Thing is a piece of crap, which you already know. But if I were getting paid to promote it, I’d probably say it was alright too. For anyone unaware, watch AV Techy or Gamers Nexus videos on this cooler. He had to turn it because it is incompatible with the Intel socket, not because of RAM.
    People trust you. They cite you as an expert. How is it that other reviewers found massive problems with this cooler, including serious design flaws, but you think it’s one of the best? They paid you, and you chose ads over subscribers. You should post a retraction.
