    A larger radiator will allow more liquid to be pushed into the radiator and therefore cooled more volume more quickly and regularly I would think. You should have also for the heck of it, done push-pull on the H80i to see how much better that would do. Maybe an update video later on.

    • @kaedeschulz5422
      @kaedeschulz5422 Год назад +1

      doesn't matter though if the airflow is decreased enaugh thru the thick rad for the push pull setup of the same overall thickness to outperform the thicker rad. More liquid yes though over time the liquid will get saturated.

    Hi Kyle A very good video. You are scratching the surface of a very deep topic. This evaluation goes to the crux of Thermodynamics. Temperature is the flow of energy. In this case heat. The faster the cooling system can pull energy away from the CPU the lower the temperature the CPU will operate at. As the computer folks found out over the last 10 years you can transfer more energy to a fixed volume of water compared to the same volume of air. The exact same principle holds in automotive engines 1960s and 70s vintage VW Beetles were all air cooled. Even Porsches of that vintage had air cooled engines. Automotive Manufacturers knew that air cooling robbed engines of power but were reticent to venture in to water cooling fearing the extra weight, complexity and maintenance of water cooled engines would be viewed as liabilities. One thing lead to another and a few brave souls perfected water cooled engines gaining a substantial increase in power and efficiency and proved themselves reliable. If you want a maintenance free operation for your computer go air cooled. It is as close as you can get to maintenance free operation. The only thing that can wear out is the bearings in your fan. If you are planning to keep your machine for 10 years or longer air cooling is the way to go. If you are a Gamer with High Cooling needs that turns his computer over every 3 to 4 years go with water cooling. I've noticed popular evaluations of Air Cooling Systems have short changed the Oversized Air Cooling Systems like the Thermalright Macho B/HR22 and the Silverstone Technologies Heligon02 to the point that they are not readily stocked and difficult to obtain. If you put a fan on any of those free air coolers and they become a beast. Returning to your demo the larger the volume of water held by the radiator the more energy from the CPU can be transferred to it. It therefore follows that barring a total breakdown of the fan system the Thicker and Higher Volume Radiator will keep the CPU cooler.

    one thing about AIO from my experience running push+pull: is that at some point the software monitoring temps and fan speed will tell the fans to ramp up when it gets hot, but its only effective to a point, then its just spinning faster making noise and not cooling much.
    so i suggest to every AIO owner to make their own fan curves cuz the default ones are usually not that good

    After load, I would predict the h80i
    would also pull the coolant back down to ambient more efficiently. :)
    Thanks for testing the two options "side by side", proving the theory.
    But... minor quibble... Fanless coolers do not store the heat in the fin stack. :)
    They dissipate the heat from the fin stack. :)

  • @I_ammm_mojojojo
    @I_ammm_mojojojo 3 года назад +4

    it would have been nice to see them run at their stock configurations as well, for comparison.. meaning the H60 with 1 fan in push, then in pull.. and the H80 with 2 fans in push+pull

    • @gamblerfls
      @gamblerfls 2 года назад

      The H80 completely destroys the H60, by 12~15 degrees. H80 is obviously not as good as a 240mm radiator, but for a 120mm it's almost there due to the thickness. Best option for builds that a watercooler can be installed only in the back of the case. Pretty much a waste installing it in the front or top, as it would be better to get a H100x instead which is about the same price.

    Have been using the H80i for about 6 months now, in push-pull config.
    My Core i7 4790 (non-k edition, was too broke at the time lol), at "idle" (regular non-gaming usage of ~5-10% cpu load), with all speeds set to Quiet in Corsair Link (so case fans, AIO fans, GPU fans and AIO pump speeds), my CPU runs at 25-30 degrees Celsius, without emitting a single damn noise.
    It was semi-complicated to install in a mid-size tower with a full-ATX board, especially trying to cable manage everything, but in the end, the results are worth it.

    Personally, I changed from a H-60 in push pull to a Noctua NH-12 air cooler with one fan. It literally blew the doors off of the H60 with 15C+ Temp drops at idle and load. I was very surprised to see this likely won't be going back to entry level AIO's again.

  • @Keatononame13
    @Keatononame13 7 лет назад +10

    3:47 to skip the scubling jargon
    H60 would have to be made of copper/gold for its thermal dissipation to match the surface area of the H80. Same reasoning as to why big pancakes cook faster than smaller ones.

  • @PoisionDragon
    @PoisionDragon 5 лет назад +1

    so basically we found that push/pull cannot overcome the limitations of a radiator that, all other things being equal, has a dual core over a single core. I feel, however, that you could have validated push/pull thin rad vs push only/pull only thick rad, if you had also put in a push only/pull only thin rad. This would demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, while also showing us how well thin rad single fan works on a cpu known to be hot.
    TLDR: single fan rad thick beats out dual fan thin, but what about dual fan thick rad? what about single fan thin rad?

    • @CalculatedRiskAK
      @CalculatedRiskAK 5 лет назад

      dual fan thick radiator outperforms single fan, as there is a higher static pressure requirement for a larger radiator. The second fan allows both to run at a lower RPM to generate the same or greater pressure while also moving more air, thereby improving cooling performance and reducing noise. A single fan on a thin radiator is unlikely to be a disadvantage over the dual fan because of the fact that a thinner fin stack requires less pressure, eliminating the need for the second fan.

    just bought H80i v2, notice that there are four holes on the side of the fan frame that are used to secure rubber grommets, which is not provide with H80i v2. With leaking air through these holes, I suspect it will lose some static pressure.

    I would like to see the effect of running two 30 mm radiators with the fans between them vs a single 60mm radiator with the same fans and fpi on the radiators. Being careful to make sure you have them set up for counter flow cooling.

  • @chincemagnet
    @chincemagnet 10 месяцев назад

    Push pull helps, which is why I always run push pull, but not as much as a thicker rad with one good fan. The push pull can achieve better temps quieter, that is why I prefer it.

    This does make sense because the heat exchanger surface area is much larger on the h80i. Even though it has slower airflow, it doesn't really matter because surface area cools a lot faster than airspeed

  • @gewinnste
    @gewinnste 4 года назад

    Fan noise isn't doubled if you use 2x as many fans - it's a logarithmic relation, not linear. Plus, with push-pull you can have a condiderably lower RPM and THIS reduces noise to a large extent.

    The thin radiator has a smaller surface area so it can't dissipate the heat into the air as fast as the thicker radiator can, thing to remember is the fan is pushing the hot air around the fins away replacing it with cooler air that can absorb the heat hence why a cooler room is better for a pc.

  • @cooldbz12mach1padilla
    @cooldbz12mach1padilla 7 лет назад

    The H80I V2 with just a push fan, since the pull didnt fit in my small case, keeps my 1600X overclocked @ 3.9ghz under 65C under full load. I live in a very dusty area so it also helps to keep the dust build up down. i used to have to clean the fan cooler on my 1055T once or twice a year becuase it would build up so much dust in the fins.

  • @josephrcase
    @josephrcase 7 лет назад

    I'd be more interested in these tests at lower rpm fans. 30 - 50 -70 - 100. I would expect the single fan setup to show a much more drastic temp difference as that fan has a lot more static pressure to overcome, where as the push pulls setup has roughly half the static pressure to overcome.

  • @tankninja1
    @tankninja1 7 лет назад

    I don't think a push-pull design will necessarily help with flow rate through the radiator, especially for the thinner H60 radiator. With the thicker H80 push-pull fans might help cut back on the frictional bottleneck a bit, but on the thinner H60 with less of a frictional consideration so I doubt the second fan is helping all that much.
    Might be worth testing to see if push-pull really helps.

  • @richardbroder
    @richardbroder 6 лет назад

    Two points:
    1 - Two fans are only noisier than one fan if you ramp them up at 100%, two will obviously be noisier, but you also have a sh*t load more airflow by using two fans. The thing about using two fans instead of one is that they two fans can spin at much lower rpm to achieve the same airflow as a single fan, thus, REDUCING noise, and not increasing it.
    2 - If the point of this comparo was to simulate a H80i being installed in a size-limited case (this, being able to utilize only one fan due to the radiator's increased thickness) - which I think is a really valid point, don't get me wrong - it should have been noted by the reviewer that the H80i v2 has really stiff hoses, and it also lacks swiveling connections at the pump, thus, making it VERY hard to be installed in small mITX cases, in some cases it will actually be impossible to fit, even if the case DOES have space for the radiator. The fitment will be made impossible due to the hose design Corsair has selected for coolers like the H80i. I do say this by personal experience. I have recently acquired a H100i GTX (same pump and hose design as the H80i GT/V2) to fit in a Sharkoon QB One mITX case and the fit was just plain impossible. The hoses wouldn't allow it. I would have had exactly the same problem with a H80i (or even worse, considering it's added thickness when compared to H100 series).
    My solution to the problem? I got the H100i GTX out and put my older H105 (which ironically has a thicker 38mm rad as compared to the GTX's slim 30mm rad) in the rig and it fit plain easily and perfectly. No force required, just swivel the hoses and the pump in a favorable position and the rad naturally sits in place. Hose design makes a HUGE difference for SFF cases.
    So, to sum it up, even though the H80i single fanned can perform better then a push-pull H60 while occupying the same rad volume, most of the people won't be able to fit a H80 in a mITX case.. not because of the rad thickness, but because of the hose design and layout that corsair has selected for these AIO's. Only the largest mITX's can accomodate these coolers, any smaller mITX is a no-no. The H60 (and similar designs, like the H55, H75, etc) can easily fit in SFF because of their flexible hoses and swiveling connectors.

  • @cee128d

    I use Push/Pull fans so that I can run each at a slower rpm to achieve the same temp as a single fan running at a higher rpm, but quieter.

  • @kevincolwell2115
    @kevincolwell2115 7 лет назад

    This seems pretty logical, since the larger radiator contains more coolant and so has more thermal mass, smoothing out the temperature rises from spikes in power consumption.

  • @stalefishtech1013

    I've heard the main benefit of push/pull is that you can run the fans quieter. At least that's what Jayz says!

  • @DjRavix
    @DjRavix 7 лет назад

    The reason to do push pull is so you can turn the fan speed way down and still have great cooling
    My setup runs the fans around 400 rpm (unfortunately they don't go slower) and it runs around 50c while running prime95 for several hours
    And it's reasonably silent

  • @05C177

    Honestly...I'm really glad you made this video. If you play any kind of cpu demanding games I recommend going with like a H110i equivalent or better in an atx form factor especially if you're rocking an AMD cpu. I've had to do some pretty trick stuff with my H80i V2 to keep high temps at bay. One thing I've certainly noticed with the H80i V2 as well is that the heat really seems to build and retain in the area of the inlet/outlet reservoir. Haven't really figured that one out yet as I haven't opened the closed loop system to investigate. The stock fans are pretty good though as they run pushing like 72 cfm or something like that. Ergo... for overclocking or for cpu heavy workloads...get the ice bucket or otherwise set your windows power settings to power saver mode and keep the cpu running at base frequency this works just fine and can be relatively quiet with the fans running on standard. Hopefully this is good anecdote for the prospective consumer.

    You don't need push pull on the thinner radiators because there's not as much obstruction to the airflow, so there's little or no benefit to the extra fan. Push pull will see better performance improvement on a thicker fan.

    You should consider doing a video with the same set ups but at low fan speeds for people looking for silent systems. Noise level compared to cooling performance.

    Specific heat capacity.
    Larger rads have more fluid and so hold more heat for a given temperature.

    This video is three years old now...so no one probably reading this. I've had multiple systems, all water cooled. The best systems, defined as quiet, low maintenance, and effective use thick, 240MM or bigger radiators in push configuration. Push/Pull is effective but reliant on good pressure rated fans. They are more difficult to install and harder to maintain. If you're going to go with push/pull, go with 140MM as not only is there more surface area/volume but the larger fans can spin at lower RPMs for noise reduction. If you're going to run 120MM fans, go with 240-360MM. You'll thank me later.

    Would love to have seen the h80 with two fans as a comparison.
    In my mind theory two fans will never scale well, when going through the same area
    Value here would be the H80 if you can't fit two fans on the rad, then use the extra fan in the front of the case, connected via corsair link... with both fans bumping up speed (and noise) as temps get hotter.

  • @rcole134
    @rcole134 7 лет назад

    Good video but I would like to point out that your comment about the fan noise being effectively halved by only using one fan is actually wrong. its more likely that you would reduce the noise that the cooler produces by 1 to 4 decibels.

  • @djmv2002
    @djmv2002 7 лет назад

    thicker radiators will help cooling. Ask any car guy that is into performance. Same applies to anything liquid cooled.
    I wonder if you have a push pull configuration on a thick radiator have better gains.

  • @Fizzgg
    @Fizzgg 7 лет назад

    PULL is the only effective configuration unless you use a 2-3 inch shroud. Fans in push causes a dead spot in the center zone because of the fan motor that blocks the airflow. If you have a confined building space, such as an itx build you should always use PULL! Then the rad array itself becomes the "back shroud" and there is no dead spot. If you don't believe me just check your dust filter after running a push configuration for a few weeks. No dust accumulates in the center zone because air does not properly pass through the fan motor.

  • @leveluplife8585
    @leveluplife8585 7 лет назад

    You need to do the same test at lower RPM on those fans, at some point the single fan wont be able to push the air through the thicc rad

  • @ScottADunn
    @ScottADunn 7 лет назад

    Ideally a thick rad with good push pull fans is best. You get great static pressure and more source for heat dissipation. I don't find the SFF of the mITX interesting enough to buy in to it. Prefer ATX or mATX at the least.

  • @pgplaysvidya
    @pgplaysvidya 7 лет назад

    going by memory here - I have the h80i and have tried push pull AND single fan (bc I had to replace the stock fans due to coil whining), and I don't really notice a difference. Going to guess that push/pull gives slightly better performance but CBA to empirically verify.

  • @F6FHellcat5
    @F6FHellcat5 7 лет назад

    Maybe you could try a thicker 120mm rad like the h80 vs a thinner but wider rad like the h90, to test to see if changing width or thickness improves cooling the most. I'm thinking the h90 might cool a bit better, cause while it might have a little bit less surface area, more of that surface area is being hit by cool fresh air, instead of a thicker rad possible losing cooling efficiency the further the air has to travel through it and heat up.

  • @renatonunez7101
    @renatonunez7101 7 лет назад

    I personally love my h80i v2, huge difference in cooling in my personal opinion compared to my old h60 and especially a stock intel fan. The only con in my opinion is how thick the h80 is. It would block one of my fans if i were to mount it in the rear of the phanteks 400s

  • @dennys.1050
    @dennys.1050 7 лет назад +7

    In my opinion, AIO´s are not worth the Money.
    I´ve got a i5 7600k, also at 4,8GHz, in a Node 304, cooled by a Noctua NH-U14S
    and it performs like the H60 in push pull.
    With the Noctua i dont need 100% fanspeed, 800 to 900rpm is enough.

    • @XxViciousxX
      @XxViciousxX 7 лет назад

      Denny S. I half agree I don't think any 120mm AIO is worth it. But the 240-360 AIOs can be worth it. If my case can't use at least a 240mm AIO I'll stick with air cooling. My Noctua DH14 beats pretty much any 120mm AIO while being super quiet.

    • @dennys.1050
      @dennys.1050 7 лет назад

      XxViciousxX Yes you are right, the bigger AIO's offers more power but they are to expensive I think.
      Recently I hab a Alphacool Eisberg here and was impressed, but it was double the price of the Noctua and only performed max 20 percent better, but not quiter.
      btw these AIO's was tested in a open build, I have these temps in a small and closed case.

    • @XxViciousxX
      @XxViciousxX 7 лет назад +1

      Denny S. Yeah the bigger AIO are definitely pretty pricey. My main PC has a EK Predator 240 that was $150. Looks great cools better then most AIO while being much much quieter. But it didn't beat my DH14 that bad considering I only paid $30 bucks for my DH14. Now my DH14 is cooling my Xeon in my secondary pc which is basically a glass oven. But the DH14 still keeps that Xeon from overheating. Noctua is still my go to for air cooling.

    • @Ravenousjoe

    • @dennys.1050
      @dennys.1050 7 лет назад

      bumperxx1 than go with some other fans or coolers. Noctua isn't the only good manufacturer out there. ;-) AIO's don't look always better, some have ugly tubes, other have ugly pumps.
      For me a big piece of metal looks way better.

  • @weez82

    Please do a comparison of stock amd coolers vs $20-$30 aftermarket coolers vs $50-$60 aftermarket coolers vs $60+ coolers and give a price per overclock at the end. Would be interesting to see the difference and if its really worth the high cost of high-end coolers

  • @JCustom
    @JCustom 7 лет назад

    Doesn't help that corsair doesn't list the fpi of either rad. Lots of factors matter such as rads of the same thickness react to the same fan speeds or number of fans quite differently. This comparison is most likely only relevant in comparing these exact two setups as they are.

      Pow Bam Zing he is talking about tiny builds so it's not like you can smash in a huge air cooler in a tiny case. but if you have room huge air coolers are great. I am running a phantek ph-tc14pe my self ,she's not as pretty as an aio cooler but the reliability sells it for me

      Cryorig C1? Cooler Master GeminII series? Noctua LH-L9x65? Be Quiet Shadow Rock LP?
      Granted they're not huge, but the bigger is better rule still applies. Ah, I'm partial to air anyways, water does not belong in computers. Although it does look cool. :)

    • @Demon09-_-
      @Demon09-_- 7 лет назад +2

      a aio 120mm will beat a tiny air cooler like the Noctua LH-L9x65. but i am with you on that I love air coolers as i don't have to worry that a leak might wreck my very expensive pc for 1-2c difference over an aio. but in some cases like the tiny cases where its a tiny air cooler like you mentioned or a aio there can be a bigger bump. but to me its not worth having to worry about it.

    Hey Kyle, it's Bryan aka Maraksot. Thanks for the video, very interesting to see the difference. It definitely makes sense that the radiator with the greater surface area has better heat dissipation. Sooo.... just checking in with ya to see if you and Paul have given any more thought to selling the Awesome Hardware Sword Fight shirts? I'd be willing to pay for the first run of shirts so that you guys don't have to shoulder that cost. If they sell well then we can talk about having more printed and on the flip side if they don't end up selling then no harm done. :)

    Testing on a bench is NOT the same as a case environment. Once all the parts are inside a case that is all put together, the ambient temps are way different as is air flow paths. Some coolers work better than others once inside a case. Some don't.
