It is unfortunate they did not include plastic spacers and longer screws so the display could be mounted further from the heatsinks. This would allow you to adjust the fans for clearance, better airflow, and the RGB LEDs to be seen. It might be worth giving this a try.
@@techluvin7691 That's the issue. I have a Noctua NH-D15 cooler in my enormous Phanteks Enthoo Luxe case and there is less than 1 cm between the fans and the glass. There is some room for an auxiliary display, just not there.
I've had lots of fun making my sensor panel work, too. You need the appropriate scaling on your main monitor as well as the mini one - at least I did. Also, you need to install the fonts that go with the profile you are importing as that helps with lining everything up properly in the theme.
The heatsink and the fans are the exact same as the JUISHARK JF200 I own, even has the same annoying problem with mounting the center fan. Dissipates about 200w for me just fine. Ended up switching the fans later, only because there was some rattle noise from one of the fans. Seems like this one is rebranded or possibly using the same manufacturer. Edit: Forgot to put that the JF200 is priced between $35 -$65 depending on the shop.
That fan clip looks very similar to the Noctua ones for the NH-D15, you COULD have mounted the fan to the rear as I have to do on mine to give the ram clearance. 🙄
Whenever I build a new system, my first look is toward Corsair LPX memory. It's good enough and I've yet to have any cooler conflicts. It sucks to do that but it better than spending $200 on memory I can't use.
I have old TV with the same resolution bug, as in it wants to be bigger reso that it really is, and using it at that results in major overscan. The fix was to adjust the image borders in the GPU drivers, now the image is clear and fits on screen, and windows is happy with its ~20% bigger resolution LOL
I think the best way to have a product that does this but with a more minimalist screen is the Deepcool digital series of coolers and pc cases. I want to get one in the future, a case if I can find one for a good price in my country
The resolution issue on the display is probably because the firmware on the hdmi board is only set up for one resolution, I've seen this with other cheap similar screens from aliexpress etc. To save cost they only bother to set up one resolution that works, and the rest is just neglected. They would have to use more code for it to work properly with other resolutions as well
@@SianaGearz Yes, but some seem to require to have the resolutions hard set in the firmware. Seen this at capture cards and upscalers also, some only accept one very specific resolution it won't work at all much like this. EDID metadata from what I know requires a table of resolutions etc. But I am no expert.
Since you weren't able to get the instructions to work, is it possible that it was meant to be operated with the two USB interfaces, and the HDMI was just a coincidental feature? I mean maybe the screen wasn't originally designed to be just a CPU cooler display. Does your board have onboard graphics? Maybe, it could be run off of that, so that you aren't giving more work to your main graphics card. One of the USB cables probably adds touchscreen capability. The cooler reminds me of my AK620. With that cooler, you're able to move the fan to the other side, so that it's not above the memory modules at all. It's an interesting idea, but it seems a bit overcomplicated.
I really wish Corsair would make a WigiDash style USB screen which you could control with iCue. I've tried a HDMI screen in my PC and they are indeed a pain in the ass. Way more configurable than a WigiDash but guaranteed to cause issues.
6:10 How should they do the fourth hole, through the circuit board on the back? The RGB behind the screen will only heat up the display. Sad you didn't measured how hot it was ... RGB in the second fan is also useless ...
On those Windows presets. Check your Winodws scaling. I've found AIDA Sensor panels want to launch with your display at 100%. It's real annoying as you have to set it to 100% every time if you run something different.
I've tried mini monitors for displays before, it never works out. This did look really cool though. And the wigidash is on my wishlist, probably another month or two and I'll snag one.
thats a thermalright peerless assassin 120 se argb under that expensive cheapo lcd so thats a £40 /$50 cooler! and you can see that lighting in the center is the second argb fan not anything additional
Looks like it has 3 screws over 4 on the screen side because the PCB is in the way on the underside 5:30 Proof the PCB is where the missing screw is 6:23 because where the HDMI is plugged into. Not a great reason but is a reason.
I honestly think an internal USB header would be nice for a product like this. Saw it done on a few AIO's, but ye I think this would be better to just DIY, especially for the price. There's also the fact they give you the manual on a USB... So for those concerned with safety, receiving a USB from a small company you've never heard of is quite alarming. Even if the files aren't corrupt.
800x480 or 1024x600 are fairly common on those little 7 inch screens, they are weird ratios. maybe its looking for something like that, and scaling other inputs to pretend to be 1080p
Since the monitor is not physically connected to the cooler, you could've mounted with the heatsink only side facing the dimm slots, as there seem to be enough clearance there and your motherboard doesn't have slots on either side of the cpu.
thats just sad, they are so overcomplicated same with the Deepcool AK620 Digital I thougt it was just a sensor and some logic in the screen so it could run from the 4 pin, but no its a usb header and RGB cable it is so messy
very very funny video. I love your dry delivery. I also agree with your opinon that it looks amazing and with proper execution of the end product it would be an incredible piece of kit and I would definitely buy one if they fixed all the school boy errors.
Looks like a cheap Chinese cooler with a cheap Chinese screen to me. I think having the info on the front plate of a GPU would be a better implementation or a clear screen side panel.
This just the CPU cooler that keeps on giving huh? I'll agree with you though I love that massive display for the read out, but there is so much they need to fix with this CPU cooler it will remain to be seen if they even attempt to fix all that's wrong with it.
I am convinced that you couldn't open the manual because there is no manual. They just renamed a random file as a manual so customer would believe there is in fact a manual.
They didn't put the 4th hole because it would go through the interface board. It would require them to put more effort before releasing an overpriced product.
Yeah but most people will never be able to mount a display to a cooler, and if they can, the effective effort may easily exceed 200 EUR in value from the number of hours spent. The DIY ability of most people is watching 5 minute crafts, and trying to fold an origami crane and failing.
Thinking would answer your own question: Why are there 2 USB cables? BLACK and WHITE - design Why are there only 3 holes drilled: because the PCB connector is on the backside - you showed that a few seconds earlier, and a second later you show the plug directly above where you want the screw to go through.
Did you adjust WINDOWS SCALING?????? I have to set mine to AT LEAST 150% for me to be able to read anything, see icons, or ever the start button/taskbar because they are TOO SMALL at 100% and Windows BY DEFAULT goes to 150% (but I change it to 175% ) .... If you didn't change this then I'm sure that's the issue
You can't expect tools to work already with high res screens after Microsoft introduced Virtual DPI Scaling with Windows Vista! It's only been 15 years!! /s
Basically hdmi comes in gray color; screen is 1080p, way too expensive to justify its cooling capacity. Can’t adjust front fan for ram height. Pretty much the sums up the video. Basically neat idea not well executed.
I saw thermalright is launching a mini version of peerless assassin. I thought maybe it was $30 (misread title, since its about 300 in local currency) and that the title was sarcasm for how good it was. 😂
Glad I’m not the only one thinking that…. If a company gives me a USB drive, there’s about a 100% chance it’s just going to get thrown out, I don’t trust it
Its only a test pc for the sake of showcasing a product, he definitely doesn’t have anything important on it, plus imagine the usb drive had a ransomware on it, it would have been good content xD
Yeah, I think that hole would be placed straight in the hdmi connector without bigger PCB redesign. Edit: Or as someone else pointed out in other comment, without relocating the PCB :D
@@TheExileFox in reality they should just have found a more elegant solution than screws that stick out like sore thumbs to begin with. The whole thing looks cheap in all the places where they did their own modifications (like the frame, the choice of cables, the mounting solutions, etc). Looks DIY. This is 2024, stuff like this needs to be flush and neat and work out of the box if you want to compete at a high premium pricetag. It shouldn't be equal to something sleep deprived me would cook up at my work desk at 4am
I have a small 3.5" USB-C powered one from Aliexpress on my desk that I got for under $10. This looks like a monstrosity with practically no memory clearance for $300 💀
Having problems with Aida scaling. I have windows scaling to 150% and when i import a sensor panel it adjusts to 150% size. Seems its a long standing issue.
4th screw on display frame is missing because that's where the PCB/USB/HDMI connects are. Could have centered the board and connectors to have a uniform look but why bother? Obviously they thought they would have 4 screws but then realized after that it wasn't possible and too lazy to relocate anything else. The amount of sheer laziness in designing this product is astounding.
It could be so you can mount the cooler backwards. Have the fans blowing toward the front of the case and and turn display to be right side up though since its seen as a display itself could do a flip in gpu settings.
5:39 the black cable is CLEARLY overstock from a factory in china or something because Maplin used to be an electronics retailer here in the UK that went bankrupt like 4 years ago or something unless they have stores outside the UK too EDIT I just googled the brand and although they did go bankrupt and sell their stores they are still operating but are now online only through their own website
If they had a 5-10mm diffuse plastic spacer between the heat sink and the screen, the LEDs would be visible and you could have that extra space for clearance for the RAM. Also, I think the reason they didn't have the 4th screw for the screen is that it would interfere with the PCB. I kinda doubt they designed the screen themselves, or if so, they did a really poor job of it.
I had a similar issue with screen scaling being off on my Jonsbo d31 case that comes with a temperature sensor screen in 1080p. The fix I found was to adjust the display scaling in windows settings between 100 and 125 pct. Their sensor panel always requires me to use Aida64. Just make sure to keep the setting within Aida64 and your monitor at 1080p or exactly the resolution of that monitor. Just change the windows scaling pct between 100 and 125 pct
You can get a screen like that for 40 euro/usd/gbp and 3D print some bezel/mount easily. Tho normal person will put a screen somewhere else and not load the cooler. Regarding the issues some screens have HDMI connector but they actually use DVI over HDMI and newest GPUs might not like it, had some 720p screen like that work with 2080Ti and it didn't with 3090.
Personally I feel like I would rather buy an affordable dual Tower air cooler and a cheap screen and do this myself for a lot less money than this. I would even specifically pick out a case that has a vertical GPU Mount option and mount one that has one extra slot than the provided slots available so that they're then becomes an internal display connector that I can hook the screen into. For $300 the fact that I still have to run a cable outside the computer and the fact that it's literally just a DIY hobbyist project makes no sense to me. Considering that $300 is not exactly chump change I would rather pay for a dedicated screen accessory for existing Tower coolers that is intended to be fully integrated internally into the computer through USB or something like that.

Also, that preset you loaded said Ryzer instead of Ryzen
Also he has an AM5 system, so it's some Ryzen 7000 chip installed (lighting makes it hard to read which) so it's not even a Ryzen 5950X as shown.

You could just mount the ''front'' fan top the back instead. Then it wont be hitting the ram.

Regarding the issues some screens have HDMI connector but they actually use DVI over HDMI and newest GPUs might not like it, had some 720p screen like that work with 2080Ti and it didn't with 3090.
The more complicated something is, the worse the possible failure. They compounded the quality by having multiple bad things instead of just 1
That USB cable - it's Maplin branded. That's a defunct UK PC components store! They went bankrupt. Why is that in there?? xD
They've been gone years lol.
Maybe lamptron bought up excess stock cheaply

Personally I feel like I would rather buy an affordable dual Tower air cooler and a cheap screen and do this myself for a lot less money than this. I would even specifically pick out a case that has a vertical GPU Mount option and mount one that has one extra slot than the provided slots available so that they're then becomes an internal display connector that I can hook the screen into. For $300 the fact that I still have to run a cable outside the computer and the fact that it's literally just a DIY hobbyist project makes no sense to me. Considering that $300 is not exactly chump change I would rather pay for a dedicated screen accessory for existing Tower coolers that is intended to be fully integrated internally into the computer through USB or something like that.
