Prolimatech Mega Shadow Deluxe Unboxing, AMD Installation & Testing

[trema12345]

how come u didnt spread the thermal paste?

[gerikoh]

@trema12345

because that's how you're supposed to apply it. unless the instruction of your heatsink or thermal paste says so.

[Rapagangsta]

This CPU Cooler or the Corsair H50?

[LShiznit]

@Rapagangsta H50 blows

[gerikoh]

@Rapagangsta

i've compared both and the h50 loses in extreme temps

[Wortcraft]

You rule for putting Bubble Man's theme song in here :)

[vibe0001]

GEH atay ka na Pinoy Bisaya ka imitator shit

[aaron5364]

I am so pissed that Prolimatech discontinued the Mega Shadow. It looked so boss compared to the silver version. Oh well, at least you get the same amazing performance with either model :P

[Plur307]

@aaron5364

It's still for sale at plenty of websites. You just have to look around. Most of the major websites are sold out but the smaller more obscure sites have them. You might have to pay a few bucks more though since these sites don't have the best prices. I just bought one for 77 bucks. Works out to be just over 100 bucks after taxes and shipping.

[halthomp]

dont talk so posh nd clear with a fake smile cos it doesnt suit you, ive done my own vids b4 and the best thing to do is act yourself cos its easier to watch and less cringefull

[NightfIash]

owned with music at 2:20 =Þ SOO NICE :D I have the Megahalmes and it is not cheap but worth its money!!!!!!!!

[NetGenReviews]

So this cooler does NOT come with fans right ? They have to be bought separately ?

[alex801848]

I heard that this thing is no longer in production...

:(

[naruto94ash]

good videos

[theleabres]

Ahh David Copperfield sleight of hands with magic cards, your next gig

[tvlicenseisascam]

What the hell, why did you take the heatsink plastic film off and then place it down without reapplying the film again, you should have placed it on its side.

Made me cringe!

[shehanster]

lil advice dont try to imitate anyone like u did ,, just be yourself

[cTXweathers]

did you use the backplate spacer?

I just installed the back/mounting plate and it has a lot of wiggle room. The thumbscrews are snug but the entire mounting bracket slides in/out of the mounting holes.

AM3/790XTA-UD4P installation

[Xeliyte]

Nice megaman music :)

[TheDarknessFell]

can i use this on am2+ mobo? like ga-ma790x-ud4p mobo? tnx

[gerikoh]

yup. just make sure you get buy an amd bracket.

[GreenyPoop]

yup

[eGabeleXxX]

is megahalems installation same?

[gerikoh]

yup. although the intel bracket is not universal with the first revision of the megahalems, the method is still similar. while amd uses the same bracket which is sold separately

[DwhNeo]

ummm yea....lol

[liightheaded]

hey :) how heavys that thing xD looks nice might get 1 for next build.... be i5 tho :)

[KAI5986]

cool megaman music!!!! :)

[rewind841821]

good job !!!

[maxnanabas09]

taga tpc ka sir?

[illmaticways]

Nice to know its not sideways on AMD boards. Definitely a good upgrade to my Xigamatek Dark Knight.

[logface101]

3gm wannah

still good.

[Daumex]

I really don't see the point in reviewing the box for entire minute!!!

[meetajhu]

i love cats. and btw did you try to review like 3dgameman?

[gerikoh]

me too! yeah, he kinda inspired me hehe

[Hekynn]

cool thanks been wondering how to mount a am3 cooler since I am getting a 965BE build next summer.

[matt91gee]

This cooler is great, I get about 72deg at 100% load on my i7 920 @ 4.2ghz 1.32v I got 2 gentle typhoons @ 1850rpm doing a push/pull. Recommend it to everyone.

[dudeshutup666]

you just made the effectiveness of that heat sink somewhat drop, u contaminated the bottom of the heat sink when u put it down, u should only take the protective layer off when your just about to install it on the board insuring it is all 100% clean

[gerikoh]

it's not like i installed it right away. i had to use a different tim and remount it as well. of course i cleaned the base first. you worry too much mate, i know what i'm doing ;)

[jaesungauzakim]

lol stock amd heatsink "fail"

[gerikoh]

yeah it's just that the max temp for the phenom II tested is 62c

[gerikoh]

is that so? very well then haha

[jaesungauzakim]

lol, anyway that heatsink looks like MUST HAVE!!!

[kodaCollider]

BUBBLE MAN.

[gerikoh]

yeah. i couldn't think of any background music. i'll try finding a better one next time :D

[kodaCollider]

What could be better BGM than MM2? I don't think it's possible.

[gerikoh]

yeah. but it's just a midi. i wish i could find a digital one though.

[incognitostatus]

pinoy ka ba gerikoh? :D

[gerikoh]

hehehe

[incognitostatus]

hahaha tpc kayo sir no? :D

[videosurfer69]

Have you gotten some inspiration for your review style from 3dGameMan? You are quite good, but maybe not at the level of the "professional reviewers". Still, I did enjoy the vid :)

Just as my opinion, your style of speaking doesn't fit you very well. It for some reason fits 3dGameMan perfectly, but not really others. But of course it's harder for you, as I assume that english is not your native language. But as said, that's how I feel, so don't start getting all mad for my opinion :).

[gerikoh]

yup. he inspired me to create this video alright.

thanks for the input. i really am having a hard time speaking that way, at least i find it quite embarassing and funny. i just want to be understandle as possible like him. english is my native language though. it's just with a different accent. but i'll try speaking naturally next time.

[videosurfer69]

Yea, just be yourself, that usually works the best, because it comes without forcing it.

Who cares if you got an accent? As long as it's understandable, it's shouldn't bother anyone. And it could actually help you distinguish yourself from the other beginning hardware reviewers. And I mean in a good way. Keep on the good work!

[xMExHKSx]

they include 4 fan clips?

[Rabbibunny]

Yep

[LizzyAston]

is that a custom NB heatsink? id love one like that! fan fits nicely on it

[gerikoh]

yup. it is. it's a pain to install though. hehe

[LizzyAston]

which brand? model?

[gerikoh]

thermalright hr-05 ifx

[coldharbur00]

is this CPU heatsink better and newer than the prolimatech megahelms? 5 stars thanks man! you rock!

[gerikoh]

thanks. :)

yup, it's newer than the megahalems but is the when it comes to performance. the only difference is that it comes with a universal intel backplate and is colored black for the guys who want style :)

[xkillerE]

nice video. i just ordered one for myself :)

[Macycrystal]

1.5Vcore

Isn't that getting a bit dangerous for your CPU?

[gerikoh]

not for amd cpus. max recommended voltage on air is 1.55v provided with good cooling.

[Macycrystal]

Hmm well on AMD's site it says 1.4v recommended voltage. I have my X4 955 at 1.425v cooled with the Megahalems but i probably wouldn't go higher even with an amazing cooler like the Megahalems. Maybe if i was watercooling or using Ln2 (lol) i would use 1.5v though. Whatever works best to get it stable i suppose though, i'm sure you know what you're doing.

[gerikoh]

meh, it mean upto 1.4 is the recommended voltage with the stock amd cooler. most of the phenom 2 guys overclock theirs with that voltage at that speed. water is maxed at 1.6.

sure it will eat around 1 year of it's life cycle, but it's nothing compared to the speed-up gained :D

[LizzyAston]

my intel is at 1.48v on water, no idea whether its safe or not for 24/7. but im still able to add comments on yt so all's well.

[videosurfer69]

You should back down... unless you have watercooled your mosfets too. Otherwise they can burn and you'll have to get a new mobo.

Try testing your CPU with Prime95 and get some temperature sensors to measure your mosfet temps.

[LizzyAston]

thanks for that, but i already know how to do it all.

[wrath6647]

I wish newegg had this

[scottycatman]

Wait, so you have to remove the preexistent mount for AM2/AM3 and replace it with that one??

[gerikoh]

well the megashadow doesn't include a mount for amd systems at all. you'll have to buy a separate mount for amd.

[TheBlitz1]

The Mega Shadow beats the Thermalright TRUE COPPER 120 OMGZ

By the way, don't remove the heatsinks protective covering until right when you install it

[gerikoh]

yeah. and that's the reason why i bought it :P

well, it was a very smooth surface for me not to worry about it. but thanks anyway :D

[kendii088]

waw geriko tumaba ka ah. XD

elka~

[xainjeff]

serious ever?

[xainjeff]

lol
