That is actually very cool. Even quite functional honestly. Would instantly allow you to check if your CPU is turning on when troubleshooting for instance.
Also some more idea of color changing based on temp: Blue for below 20 C Green for 20-25 C Yellow for 25-30 C Orange for 30-35 C Red for 35+ C (just like the cheap color changing thermometer strip)
I was thinking of this when watching. Its not necessary, but a very cool concept to bring some more eye candy and fun/useful visual representation of the processors current temperature.
It's cool that you can see how unevenly that chip spreads the heat, you can see the heat pipes near the pcie slots heating up faster from the ccd dies being at the bottom of the chip instead of the center
I believe this color changing coating they are using is VERY similar to the ones used in coffee mugs, where the paint is opaque until you pour a hot beverage inside the cup. As you can see from the cooler, which is made from pure copper (let's not debate about the purity though), and on top it has this temperature sensitive coating that becomes translucent when heat is applied, and opaque when heat is removed.
I doubt that the coating's getting translucent at high temps, as bare copper wouldnt look that vibrant... There has to be some fluorescence going on in there if you ask me
The color changing coating can help with testing and optimizing new coolers as well. It really show which parts are effective in removing heat and what sharp corners don't do very much.
Not really because it's just the same type of paint that you can find on "color" changing coffee mugs. They just shift from being opaque to translucent at a certain temperature
Either that was a bad Demo... or it was cut oddly. Heatsink is black... fan is running, no load on it. -> must be cool. He turns on Cinebench to put a load on it, unplugs the fan, Heatsink turns orange. -> must be hot. My Expectation was that now he plugs the fan back in and you can see how it turns black again, while it is cooling off... and red implies hot and danger, so why would it be the other way around? Instead he does not plug the fan back in, does not turn off cinebench, touches the red glowing heatsink and says its cold? ...... ok, what did i miss? I'm sure i'll see 10 more videos about this thing in the next 2 days pop up... maybe the next guy explains it better.
It's interesting that you can see the offset cpu die in the color change. The bottom pipes are on top of the actual compute dies and they heat up faster.
Looking forward to the color changing paint and new heatsink. But if Cooler Master looks at comments please release an updated HAF XB EVO. Still to date one of my favorite cases just wish an updated one existed.
It's not a special coating. It's basically mood ring paint. It's called SCD Liquid Crystal and it's found in mood rings, mood ring paint and coatings, and in LCD screens.
Technically it is actually. Thermochromic liquid crystal paint is usually rated to between 110 and 125C. This one can go much higher so it IS more specialized.
I like the colour changing, though I'd like 3 colours. It's actually what I plan to do if I can ever afford such a "dream build" with custom water cooling and the only reason I'd allow RGB lighting in my system ... to have the blocks and tubing light-up a colour depending on the temp (probably needing an aquacomputer aquaero to get enough customisation, without needing OS bloat). Probably blending through purple, green and orange. Mostly cos it'd look cool, but only permitted because it'd be functional too.
In the USA, you can have a 220-240 volt circuit. It'll just have a different plug. It is a worthwhile thing to build a dedicated circuit for your system.
Very cool.... Now I'm curious how well this color changing stuff will work a couple years down the line. (Because if it's like those color changing mugs that slowly lose their ability to change.. not great)
I would think that the mugs lose their ability to change due to wear from washing, but I could be wrong. I'd like to think it could last basically forever in this use case.
The best engineering is the simplest engineering. I'd love this as rock-solid backup to temp monitoring software. I remember I nearly ruined a CPU because, for some reason thanks to the mysteries of a system I was running years ago, the thermal monitoring software that show the temp...stopped, and when I got it running again the temps were WAY high than I was comfortable with. If there was a visible, non-software indicator of temps that I could directly see, even if it was just a simple colour change.
The 1300 watt SFW power supply is interesting. Assuming Google is correct a US outlet can handle 1,800 watts, and a UK one 3,000 watts. I'm pretty sure I heard LTT drop that as a problem for US consumers going forward a while back as PCs reach even higher power needs. But presumably as the house tends to have 220V supply it's a fairly simple rewiring job - except that you'd probably have to have a dedicated socket for your PC, much like you have for your oven or other multi KW electronics. Long past time to standardise around UK plugs and 220-240V anyway (or perhaps upgrade from there if need be).
It isn't necessarily the ABILITY of the outlet itself but rather in a switching PSU, the 220V provides an additional efficiency factor when converting AC to DC.
@@HardwareCanucks so you could make a North American version of the same PSU in 120V but they're not planning to do that? I may have misunderstood what the issue was because my physics is shockingly bad - I thought it was they couldn't draw enough power from a 120V outlet. No pun intended. Either way, more efficient PSUs is a good thing, and it'd be nice if they were available worldwide.
We already seen 3D Vapor Chamber in a CPU cooler with the Masterair Maker 8 it actually had outstanding performance but was let down by not so great fans, RAM height compatibility and Red LED only lighting.
I dig the colour changing heatsink, as someone who build his first pc in 2005/06 this is just somehow pretty need. Looking like it´s glowing by heat, yeah really like that and way cooler than RGB.
This mans excitment and enthusiasm had me locked in! im excited to see what cases come out for the ITX space, im pretty limited with a 4080 fe. need more 3 slot love.
Looks like that color changing mugs when they have hot liquid in. But I never though of coolers! It is indeed very cool and practical! But not sure about the effectivity though. I do hope it doesn't get loosened much!
That's hot. I hope all my fellow olds read that as Paris Hilton. Hopefully they get it to where they can make a heatsink version of those UV reactive shirts from the 90s.
Wish he would have plugged the fan back in after the cooler changed temp. Would be interesting to see the cooling effect of the fan as well if it actually gets it cool enough to go back to black.
In the 80's and 90's, we had clothing that would change color with temperature, just like this heatsink. The most popular brand was Hypercolor. Now, we can have a Hypercolor hypercooler!
NOW put this color changing paint with that Massive Passive Heatsink Case with no fans.....ladies & gentlemen, we've a TRUE game changer. One that I'll gladly pay FOR! DO IT! I want to see that collab for my next build!!!!!!!
So, got it, I'll just paint it orange, COS ITS ALWAYS GONNA BE HOT, and if not I'll add a audio warning tool in the firm of a THERAMIN, add a dash of Tardis sound effects, awesome!!!😂😊😅
That Sfx 1300w will do 580w load with fam off - that is enough for most systems during gaming as cpu or gpu is highly loaded. Most non over clocked Gpus are under 300w and most cpus during gaming is bellow 120w 4070TI performs like 3090ti almost and only needs 250w + 7800x or 13600k will be at 100w. = passive power system
This might be the electrical engineer speaking, but I really like how that passive power supply looks. Matter of fact, why don't more manufacturers make translucent or even transparent PSUs??
'special coating cooler master is developing" as i sip coffee out of a cup with my cats picture on it that you can only see when hot coffee is in the cup
I love this small psu, 1300 watts. I might want to buy it - it weights less, I wonder will they get higher profit margins due to saved material, or did they put even more expensive parts?
On par with a lot of other commenters.. That is SICK- forget 'rgb'-anything, a material changing colors in real-time because it's undergoing a change in thermal dynamics, that's cool & fun! It's obviously for show, but I appreciate it does it by pure science lol. It's "nature", or as basic as one can get to the concept figuratively, but for a machined heat sponge/outer shell
@HardwareCanucks youre missing the link to the review of the video? :o Either that or that video is not yet online :) ? 09:34 Thanks for making the video! :)
I want either the mini 1300w or the passive 750w for my desk build.. if they made the passive in 850w I'd be sold. But i think my rig could work on 750w..
It just amazes me how so many electromagnetically operated devices can become something else completely ... depending on how used . A speaker becomes a microphone and an electric motor becomes a power generator . The list goes on ...

That color change is cooler than any RGB or display on AIO I have ever seen. Because that's pure physics. If it doesn't ruin cooling, give me 2?
Changing colors of RGB is also pure physics
@@asandax6 True, but i think hes trying to say that it has a physical, almost mechanical appeal to it, while LEDs and screens are digital.
RGP doesn't affect cooling ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I want my mobo and ram to color change too
Reminds me of the color changing Hot Wheels cars back in the day..
@@bstaznkid4lyfe392 That was the bomb back then
That is actually very cool. Even quite functional honestly. Would instantly allow you to check if your CPU is turning on when troubleshooting for instance.
Would be nice to see the heat sink turn red after 20-30 minutes of gaming like exhaust headers do. I would buy one of those ASAP
@@Chris-hw4mq If it comes in green.
They should make a pink/purple one in partnership with Hot Wheels.
if your rig takes 30+ seconds to turn on you have bigger issues then how warm the cpu is getting lol.
@@ColdVenom159 In what way would that affect the scenario in question?
Maybe clear phone backs with visible vapour chambers that change colors depending on the temperature. Would be really cool.
Also some more idea of color changing based on temp:
Blue for below 20 C
Green for 20-25 C
Yellow for 25-30 C
Orange for 30-35 C
Red for 35+ C
(just like the cheap color changing thermometer strip)

@@sihamhamda47 Hell yeah, I vote for that (F* the RGB) 😎
@@sihamhamda47 yea what about 50+ when it's gonna burn your hand? Had many phones that would get that hot and piss me off.
Bring back clear electronics in general, black plastic everything is God awful boring
It's cool that you can see how unevenly that chip spreads the heat, you can see the heat pipes near the pcie slots heating up faster from the ccd dies being at the bottom of the chip instead of the center
I wonder how much could you drop the temps by rotating the heatpipes by 90 degrees, this way each heatpipe would touch the "hot parts"
That leans heavily into the offset mounting brackets I’ve been hearing about quite a bit lately
That's right! otherwise we could not detect uneven temp hotspots.
That's why Derbaur and Noctua released the offset mount
@@z4k1_zaki65 I saw an ltt on it earlier today, that's what made me think about it

That color changing paint would look cool on that passive designed case. I forget the name of it.
You should actually have put the fan back on to show us how quick it dissipates the heat, HUGE missed opportunity there.
Good point.
The color changing coating can help with testing and optimizing new coolers as well. It really show which parts are effective in removing heat and what sharp corners don't do very much.
Not really because it's just the same type of paint that you can find on "color" changing coffee mugs. They just shift from being opaque to translucent at a certain temperature
cooler master manufactures those sweet Nvidia FE coolers if i’m not mistaken
really?
Considering Cooler Master is manufacturing Wraith coolers for AMD which are pretty good for stock coolers, it wouldn't be far-fetched
AMD reference/Made by AMD 7900 XTX coolers too
Edit: partially
PNY, isn't it?
Actually CM's ODM division has manufactured MOST (not all) reference heatsinks for NVIDIA and AMD for the last decade or so.
love it that natural color change effect, looks nicer than RGB for CPU coolers
Wow.. very cool to have that colour changing to a heat pipe. Can be a visual cue for trouble..
i could totally see a whole fire and ice build/theme with the color changing
Either that was a bad Demo... or it was cut oddly.
Heatsink is black... fan is running, no load on it. -> must be cool.
He turns on Cinebench to put a load on it, unplugs the fan, Heatsink turns orange. -> must be hot.
My Expectation was that now he plugs the fan back in and you can see how it turns black again, while it is cooling off... and red implies hot and danger, so why would it be the other way around?
Instead he does not plug the fan back in, does not turn off cinebench, touches the red glowing heatsink and says its cold? ...... ok, what did i miss?

It's interesting that you can see the offset cpu die in the color change. The bottom pipes are on top of the actual compute dies and they heat up faster.
That color changing cooler is an interesting concept, I’d rock something like that.
That color shifting coat looks very good

It's not a special coating. It's basically mood ring paint. It's called SCD Liquid Crystal and it's found in mood rings, mood ring paint and coatings, and in LCD screens.
same thing used on those glass mug that change picture/color when filled with hot water ?
Okay, in what way does that not qualify as a special coating?
So I can see if my CPU is in the mood?
It’s not a special coating it’s just a special coating.

As soon as it comes on the market I'm buying it!!!!! MA-824❤
4:41 I guess they used a similar coating, like what those heat-sensitive/color-changing mugs uses.
The idea is the same but the material quite different...supposedly.
@@HardwareCanucks yeah, that's true.

Good coverage of several types.
The topic in the title is only a small segment of the video. Didn't expect this from Hardware Canucks.

The colour changing cooler also shows how AMD distributes their chips inside the IHS. It’s perfectly in accordance to what Noctua was saying.
That would totally help out fault finding. Cool design!
reminds me of the old colour changing mugs when you put hot water in :)
mike you should have plugged the fan back in so we could see how fast the cooler "cooled" down... 😐

a vapor chamber air cooler, that is neat since it does function better than a normal heat pipe! i might have a new air cooler for my next build
i played with color changing due temp, toy cars back in the freaking 80s .....such new much wow
Dang, heatpipes going red hot just looks so cool. Like exhaust pipes or something
You can actually see the heat coming from the bottom CCD's and using the first heatpipes juste like noctua is solving with the offset kit😅
The color change is more interesting than anything else in their cooler lineup.
Love that colour change surface!
This cooler looks insane. I would like to build copper color theme PC with it
I hope this the next fashion in cooler aesthetics. This would be neat on a sapphire GPU.
that temp colour changing heatpipes definitely change my thoughts on non CPU liquid cooler again... just wow!!! 😳🤯👾
Nice, that 57mm tall cooler looks ideal for P-ATX :)
Wish he would have plugged the fan back in after the cooler changed temp. Would be interesting to see the cooling effect of the fan as well if it actually gets it cool enough to go back to black.

Legend has it he never plugged the fan back in.
Yeeaaah with that kinda paint, my cpu is staying overclocked. Sick effect.
This is a bit late, but that colour changing demo is a better idea than a display in all scenarios for all purposes, including cosmetic. It is great.
can only hope the low profile coolers are compatible with lga 2011v3, looking to turn my old 5820k into an htpc, which requires low profile.
I liked the psu one. I was thinking about a mini atx PC but I couldn't find a way to fit the psu and its is nice
Mine changes color too, I just have to get it around 430C first!
Hope the chemicals on that paint aren't toxic.
This slowly turning into like color changing mug or some hotwheels color changing
That color changing cooler would be awesome I would buy it.

i would buy that color changing cooler. Like im serious this is gold
wished you also showed the 200mm or 250mm fans behind.
You can have 220/240v in the US. Just need to have a 220/240v circuit and receptical
would be really cool if they applied the color changing coating just on to the heatpipes.
So, got it, I'll just paint it orange, COS ITS ALWAYS GONNA BE HOT, and if not I'll add a audio warning tool in the firm of a THERAMIN, add a dash of Tardis sound effects, awesome!!!😂😊😅
