CORSAIR HYDRO SERIES H80I V2 INSTALLATION FULL
Overall Review: Would I get this for a small build - YES, would I get this for my first LCS - YES, would I get this for a new show unit “a PC that is full of lights and tubs to add a mystic feel to it” - NO, but overall for a fast and easy cooling system that will get you cooler than just the ambient air this is the way to go. Why would you want to do this over a full LCS “Liquid Cooling System”? Well, it's small and for those of you out there that like to build small micro ITX systems it's great! No tubs to cut, no fittings to seal G+R+E+A+T = Great!Ĭons: I think the cooling block could be a bit larger, about 2 mm squared larger.
CORSAIR HYDRO SERIES H80I V2 INSTALLATION INSTALL
It really is a simple system and the install is very easy. To me that is not a big deal, you simply keep working the bracket into place gently and it will get there. Now I have read in some of the forums that AMD users sometimes have an issue with tight fits and the CPU bracket, I personally have not had this issue but like I said I have read about it. The 120mm fan is quiet and the socket bracket slipped right on with no fitting issues. I have built several liquid cooling systems over the years and this by far is the easiest one. It's basically a plug and play system so if you're new to liquid cooling this is the way to go. I would start with the fact that it’s a liquid cooling system that you don’t have to go and trim a tone of tubing and worry about leaking revivors or getting the right OD and ID fittings. Pros: Hello, today I will be reviewing the CORSAIR H60. Overall Review: The H60 is easy to recommend! If you don't need the absolute best cooling, you can cut your cost compared to their highest models and still get top notch cooling. If I had to pick something though, I'd just suggest for Corsair to make the white LED's RGB in the next version and link it with iCUE. While not RGB, the white LEDs on the cooler look great, as does the rest of the cooler.Ĭons: Honestly, nothing. You won't hear this thing unless you have your case open and sitting right next to you. While the H110i dropped the temps significantly from the stock cooler, The H60 is surprisingly rather good for the price. Replacing it temporarily with the H60, I only saw a 5-13 degree increase for almost half the price. I've been using an H110i in my system to cool my overclocked 6700K CPU for over a year now. Just take off the old cooler, install the mounting bracket (will most likely need to remove the motherboard from your case unless your case has a cutout), remove the cover protecting the thermal paste and screw the cooler down and connect the power cords. Pros: As is normal with Corsair water coolers, installation is quick and easy. Very highly recommended! Just make sure you have a fan controller or low noise adapter or are prepared to deal with relatively noisy fans. Overall Review: If you want the performance of the H100 but don't want to pay for the add-ons of the more expensive models, this is an ideal cooler.
Put the fans on a reduced speed outside of max OC benchmarking the cooler will still perform well and will be much quieter. The default setup with the fans is set to get you the best temps possible but it comes at the expense of way too much noise. Which is great!Ĭons: Only one: Default fan noise is too loud. I have an original H100 and H110 still going strong, as well as an H110i and now this H100x. RELIABILITY: I've been using Corsair H100 series products for 7 years now. Table, tweezers, and swiss army knife not included. If you don't want those features (and I personally never use them), you don't have to pay for them anymore. PRICE: Save a decent amount of money to ditch the RGB and Corsair link add-ons. I've been using the H100 for years and never had any problems. It's the best cooling performance you can get without going custom loop. PERFORMANCE: Performs just like the more expensive versions of the H100 series coolers - in other words, it's excellent. Pros: TL DR - Performance, price, installation, reliability, pump noise. Improved coldplate and pump design: our latest generation is better than ever at rapidly drawing heat away from your CPU.ĭual SP120L PWM fans: customizable performance and custom-molded blades for high static pressure with low turbulence.įlexible installation: use one of the included fans to save space, or use both for extra cooling power Modular, tool-free mounting bracket: installation is simple and straightforward.īuilt-in Corsair Link: adjust fan speed, monitor CPU and coolant temperature, and customize LED lighting directly from your desktop.Īdditional Information Date First Available
