Brutal refrigeració
Tengo un Ryzen 7 5800X (que mete calor por castigo) y con la refrigeracin lquida de un solo ventilador no tena suficiente. He cambiado la caja tambin (corsair 5000D) y he puesto esta refrigeracin lquida adems de varios ventiladores que tena en la caja anterior, entre ellos 2 noctua industrial de 3000rpm que, aunque suenan mucho cuando sube la temperatura y trabajan al 100%, el flujo de aire es impresionante.
Ahora los tengo uno en el frontal metiendo aire y otro en el fondo sacando aire, que crean una corriente de aire fro. Adems, en el frontal tengo 2 ventiladores ms que meten aire (que venan con la caja) y encima de la refrigeracin lquida (que est en la parte superior) un ventilador de 14mm de levitacin magntica sacando ms aire tambin, por lo que est muy optimizado el sistema de refrigeracin ahora.
Lo que antes era jugar al “simple” Fifa 24 a 82-83 grados ahora no pasa de 66, lo mismo en Cyberpunk 2077 y en Incursion Red River sube un poco hasta unos 70 mximo (un juego que an est por optimizar estando en fase pre alpha).
Resumen, cgete esa torre y sta refri para ver caer las temperaturas.
Ottimo acquisto
Ho acquistato questo articolo dato che il mio dissipatore da 120 mm non era sufficientemente potente. Il montaggio stato abbastanza facile rispetto ai vari dissipatori da me montati in precedenza. Svolge il suo lavoro egregiamente.
Tolle Wasserkühlung
Die Wasserkhlung kam vormontiert(Khler/Pumpeneinheit) und gut verpackt an. Der Khler mit den drei sehr leisen Ventilatoren ist zwar recht dick, passte jedoch sehr gut in die Front meines Gehuses. Die beleuchtete Pumpeneinheit auf dem Prozessor sieht toll aus. Die Prozessortemperatur steigt nie ber 65 Grad.
Got this to keep my AMD Ryzen 9 cool. Maintains under 60C with max load. Quiet and ICue software recognized it so the LEDs are working in sync with the rest of the system

All the fan blades broken out of the box
The liquid cooler works good, but the fans are broken. Now I can’t return it because the coooler is installed already.
Update: I contacted Corsair and they sent me 3 new fans very quickly. I put 5 stars because of this very good service
I got this to replace an air cooler on my 2nd PC that’s right on my desk about 2-3 feet away from me. It’s on a i7 13700k 5.4ghz all core 4.3ghz e core. Hitting 90c under full load 260watts. I added this cooler and I instantly like the quality of the radiator. The paint looks and feels good. The sleeves on the water tubes are nice and the USB connection for the power is sleek looking and not an eyesore. I like the fans they run well but are not annoying loud. They do get loud but it’s only at 300watts full load. Now my CPU is at 5.6ghz all core 4.5ghz e core and it runs great. While gaming this has dropped my gaming temps by 10-20c depending on the load and the water pump is not loud. I’ve had about 4 AIO and this is the best quality ones I have seen. Also to note the pump seems to run cooler than my older AIO’s. So I just took out the 13700kf and put in a new 13900ks. It’s enough to cool that but only for gaming and everyday use. This can cool out 300watts. Now it can’t run this KS fully, but it’s still faster than a stick 13900k They have been making quality AIO,s for over a decade now so the tech is actually a lot more advanced than it was back in 2008-2013.
Works great and looks just as good! wish the fans that it came with were rgb but no big deal, fans are quiet, the pump has been great no issues at all. CPU temps have been quite stable. i used the pre applied thermal paste as well

Llegó un ventilador quebrado (y me lo reemplazaron sin costo)
Uno de los ventiladores lleg quebrado. Tuve que sustituirlo por uno de mi gabinete que no tiene PWM.
Fuera de eso, el AIO cooler funciona perfectamente, instalado en el H7 flow en la parte superior. Temperaturas menores a 30 grados celsius en reposo.
Actualizacin: Contact a Corsair directamente, y fueron amables al enviarme un ventilador de reemplazo! Buena atencin a cliente de parte de la empresa.
Alles Bestens ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ich habe mir die khlung als gebraucht gekauft da ich nur eine vorbergehend gebraucht habe und dementsprechend gespart, und bin tatschlich begeistert da die aio in ein sehr guten Zustand ist einziges manko die Pumpe ist auf intensiver Einstellung etwas laut und macht ein komisches fiepe
Corsair è una garanzia!
Corsair un marchio che non ha certo bisogno di presentazioni; negli anni ha saputo crearsi una solida reputazione grazie a ottimi prodotti ed accessori per pc.
La fascia di utenti quella definita Enthusiast, ovvero utenti appassionati di modding perennemente alla ricerca del pc perfetto sia da un punto di vista estetico che delle prestazioni.
Io non mi riconosco propriamente in questa categoria di utenti, anche se talvolta amo ammodernare un vecchio mio pc, oppure, come in questo caso, assemblarne completamente uno nuovo. Tra le problematiche pi complicate la gestione delle temperature risulta sicuramente al primo posto ed complicata poich coinvolge moltissimi componenti ed soggetta a moltissime variabili, come la gestione dei flussi di aria in entrata e in uscita dal case. Sia la CPU che la scheda grafica sono delle discrete “stufette” e le alte temperature mettono seriamente a rischio la stabilit e la durata stessa del pc.
Questo prodotto si prende “cura” della CPU, raffreddandola a liquido e mantenendola in un range accettabile; una soluzione chiusa, in quanto il liquido tramite due tubi flessibili viene a contatto con la piastra e poi raffreddato dal radiatore con le ventole
Una soluzione completa e razionale
H 150i RGB elite una soluzione completa che consente il montaggio del radiatore con annesse 3 generose ventole da 120 x 25 mm il tutto fissato a un radiatore da 360 mm; tale radiatore pu essere montato sia un orizzontale (la posizione orizzontale ed in alto quella che personalmente consiglio) che verticale, ovviamente a condizione che le dimensioni del
case lo permettano.
Grazie a specifiche staffe di adattamento possibile installarlo per raffreddare CPU sia Intel che AMD In particolare lo potete utilizzare con
Intel 1700, 1200, 1150, 1151,1156, 2011, 2066, 1366 e con CPU AMD del tipo AMG, AM 5, STR 4; unica accortezza ricordare che le staffe di fissaggio alla cpu vanno fissate nella parte posteriore della scheda madre, per cui prestare attenzione che la parte posteriore sia accessibile nel case, altrimenti optate per il montaggio delle staffe sulla scheda madre PRIMA di fissarla al case; comunque un’ operazione abbastanza semplice; la piastra di dissipazione da montare a contatto con la cpu di rame e viene fornita con la pasta termoconduttiva gi applicata e pronta all’uso; il montaggio completo non porta via pi di
15/20 minuti. Tralascio qui i dettagli RGB ed i relativi effetti, belli ma dedicati principalmente ai patiti del modding, maentre mi soffermo sulle prestazioni, davvero notevoli;
Il mio processore intel i9-13900KF non ha mai superato i 45 e le
ventole quando sono in funzione risultano estremamente silenziose, niente a che vedere
con i miei precedenti PC con quel delizioso effetto “elicottero” che faceva tanto “Apocalypse now”.
In definitiva un prodotto davvero valido dedicato a tutti coloro che vogliono godere delle prestazioni dei moderni processori senza dover preoccuparsi del rumore o delle temperature; vi assicuro che non poco!
Very impressive.
I’ve always used Corsair coolers for iCue, so this was a no brainer for me. I recently purchased the Fractal North Charcoal case so I needed a 240mm cooler. Having used the 360mm in the past I knew the quality of these.
Very easy to install. Paired up with some elite fans, and the Commander hub along with some other fans. It just all worked as soon as I powered the system on. I applied my own thermal paste and as a result my Ryzen 9 5950X never goes above 72c under decent gaming loads.
I dislike RGB so to be able to have a plain component was key. I’m really pleased with this AIO though.
Corsair iCUE H115i RGB Elite Liquid CPU Cooler (No Bling Version)
Pros:
With a focus on cooling and less on RGB, the CPU cooler performs well, so far. The pump housing is aesthetically pleasing with soft round fillets and mild RGB accent – a nice balance. Someone with taste designed this one. This is unlike the prior generations or the current Capellix RGB Gamer-Gaming Bling versions in your face.
The 240 mm radiator is compatible with Corsair Vengeance DDR5 none-RGB RAM modules in a Corsair 4000D. There is about 3 mm of clearance between the RAM and the rad fan(s).
Cons:
> Corsairs proprietary fan cabling/wiring is messy for wire management. If wire management is not your thing than you have no problems.
> And having to install and mess around with the unintuitive iCue software, just to make the singular RGB light go to a color I want. Then to check a dozen times to see if the profile took over or not under the hardware settings. I still don’t actually known what I did differently that it finally uploaded the lighting profile to the hardware. And finally, uninstall the iCue.
I don’t know why iCue cannot work as simply as the SSD Tookit from Corsair, but it does not. Every time, it’s a struggle, whether it’s for a keyboard or a mouse. Having bought Ducky keyboard and mouse recently, it was a breath of fresh air to be able to control the RGB set-up thru the hardware only, no silly software. [Ducky’s latest full size keyboards with swappable switches are awesome.]
Todo correcto deacuerdo a la descripción del producto.
Tengo apenas 1 mes con el pero funciona perfecto hasta ahora. Enfra un i7 de 12va generacin. El procesador en temporada de calor y con el Icue configurado alcanza mximo 50-55 grados incluso a veces hasta 60 pero rara vez (esto a full con video juegos pesados o trabajos pesados) el procesador en trabajo cotidiano “normal” esta entre 35 a 37 grados (repito, en temporada de calor). Cabe destacar que esta instalado en la parte superior de un gabinete midtower DEEPCOOL GABINETE MATREXX 50 Add-RGB 4F Negro ATX DP-ATX-MATREXX50-AR-4F-NE y cabe perfecto.
New corsair aio
This is solid, simple well made . Aio cooler. None rgb, silent fans, included. There is No corsair fan hub . This time.
The installation, is simple and straightforward.
No instructions in my box. YouTube came in handy, for this new model.
Came with, all the brackets. And tons of screws.
For current gen, amd and intel.
Pre installed with Lga 1700.
And thermal paste.
Everything is labelled.
After installation.
Download the corsair software.
Select silent mode.
As fans and pump are set to extreme out the box.
Let it run for half hour and the will settle the bubbles nicely. So far,
Keeping my 13 gen cpu, temps super low, so much better then air cooler.
With just rgb, on cpu header. Love my all black build. Corsair, Trusted brand. In All my pc, builds have them. None have failed me yet. Thanks corsair and amazon for great deals. Highly recommended.
Used Corsair AIO's before, they were pretty good, but it's clear they have refined further. The cooling performance is great, and it is silent. You can also see the liquid temp which is cool. Mounting was very easy, both on the CPU and on the chassis.

Couldn't expect any less from Corsai
Having read all the reviews, I had some reservations about purchasing this AIO but I’m glad I did. There are some things I should address mentioned by other users. First, it does not come with instructions but there is a installation video on YouTube made by Corsair which is very easy to follow. The radiator is 27mm thick which is the same thickness as the RGB Pro XT. Someone said that the radiator is thinner than the fans, is not true. I also didn’t have any issues with USB-C connector clearance with respect to VRM heatsink as someone complained about as the port sits high on the pump. The fans are well built and have a premium look and are low noise. In fact they’re whisper quiet at 1000 rpm. They move a lot of air too cooling the CPU better than my silent wings 3 fans that I tested with that came with my case. Coming from an air cooler (Hyper 212 Black Edition) temps dropped 15c at full load making the PC virtually silent. The pump is running at 2500 rpm and it’s completely silent. I recommend mounting the rad in front of the case for better thermals as it pulls in cool air from outside. All in all I don’t have anything bad to say about this AIO having upgraded from an air cooler I am very impressed. The RGB on the pump is a nice touch as well. I will update my review if something goes wrong.
One thing to note is that I connected the fans to the motherboard header instead of the pump since I can set a curve in the BIOS and don’t have to run iCUE software in the background to control/monitor the fans.
Ottimizzazione software da migliorare
Fa il suo dovere e risulta molto silenzioso ma il software le gestisce malissimo le ventole. Passando da una modalit all’altra le ventole subiscono degli sbalzi di velocit non indifferente passando dal silezio totale al rumore massimo. Parecchio fastidiosa la cosa
Love everything about this 240mm aio, it’s just not enough to cool my r9 5900x. Gets up to 92 and then thermal throttles. Had to upgrade to 360mm to keep it below 85.

Ottime prestazioni ma mancano le istruzioni di montaggio.
Ho acquistato il Corsair iCUE H150i RGB ELITE da 360 mm per il mio computer dotato di un processore i7 di ultima generazione e ne sono rimasto soddisfatto. Dopo mesi di utilizzo intenso, posso confermare che il componente assicura ottime prestazioni, senza riscontrare problemi di surriscaldamento e con un rumore praticamente inesistente.
Esteticamente, il prodotto accettabile e si integra bene con il resto del mio setup. Purtroppo, per, c’ un’unica pecca: all’interno della confezione non erano presenti le istruzioni per il montaggio del prodotto.
In conclusione, il Corsair iCUE H150i RGB ELITE da 360 mm un componente di alta qualit con ottime prestazioni e un design accattivante, ma l’assenza delle istruzioni di montaggio pu rappresentare una difficolt per alcuni utenti.
The install was quick and easy, easier since this comes with the backplate for LGA 1700 processors. Cooler keeps my CPU cool using the factory pre-applied thermal paste, but you may want to switch it if you're OC'ing. Stock radiator fans are a little loud (not obnoxious) at full speed during heavy loads. Only the pump has LED's in this (which can be customized or turned off), so good for a minimalist build.

Un buon coole
Cooler elegante intuitivo facile da installare; completo dei vari adattatori per Intel e amd.
Per il lato cable management, trovo un p brutto l’attacco di presa C a 90 posto sulla cpu.
Sinceramente mi aspettavo che le ventole fossero in rgb.
Quality CPU liquid coole
It’s clear Corsair has improved their liquid cooler lineup. Install is super easy to the point where everything just falls into place and the product quality & materials used is also very very good.
Overall improvement over older liquid coolers from Corsair.
Able to keep the fans off when not gaming and coolant temperature remains at 50c at idle with no sound or fans active.
Extremely satisfied with this cooler.
La qualité Corsair comme d'habitude
Trs bon AIO, le seul bmol le bruit, mme quand le processeur est au ralenti, les ventilateurs tournent vite avec le mode quilibr de icue, je conseille le mode zro tr/min qui rend le pc silencieux en basse charge est fait trs bien le taf en pleine charge. Pour la pompe le mode quilibr est trs bien.
Einfache Montage und angenehme Kühlleistung
Dies ist bereits meine sechste Wasserkhlung aus dem Hause Corsair und leider die erste, bei der ich die Pumpe deutlich wahrnehme . Auch im leisen Modus ist, ein deutliches Brummen zu verspren. Wenn ich die Scheibe vom Case schliee, ist es kaum noch hrbar. Aber es ist trotzdem lauter als die vorigen Wasserpumpen, die ich verbaut habe. Ich habe diese Wasserkhlung im Angebot gekauft und wrde auch mehr als 110 nicht zahlen wollen. Natrlich zahlt man bei Corsair auch den Namen. Die Software ICue ermglicht einfaches steuern der Geschwindigkeiten von Lfter und Pumpe sowie der RGB Effekte auf dem Pumpengehuse. Ich schau mir das mit den Geruschpegel noch etwas an und werde eventuell eine Rcksendung veranlassen und eine neue bestellen. Die Khlleistung ist gut bis sehr gut kommt immer auf das Case und die Leistung des Prozessors an in meinem Fall mit aktuell ein Rxzen 5 5600 X gekhlt. Maximale Temperatur bei CPU sind 66. Khlleistung habe ich bei Pumpe auf leise und beide Lfter ebenso auf leise.
Bruya
Les ventilateurs sont une catastrophe le but d’un watercooling est le silence la on y est pas du tout, les ventilateurs vont tre changer pour de la concurrence, mais sinon le logo aimante est du gnie sur de pouvoir peu importe le sens toujours le m’tre du bon ct, les tempratures sont stable
This is coming from someone who has a massive three radiator (480 and 2x 360 mm) custom water cooled system. I personally have never been a big fan of aios but when someone wants a rig and doesn’t plan on doing the maintenance required these fit the bill perfectly..
This was cooling a 13th gen i5 and did a miraculous job. These have came a long way!!!
Absolutely worth the extra money for Corsair. Is Cooler master a great product, too? Yes. But the software and the iCue platform is too notch. Plus, Corsair puts a valve on their pumps for adding fluid. I’m never using another product line again!
Einfache Installation, alles steuerbar via App. Die Pumpe ist leicht zu hren. Es strt aber nicht. Temperaturen sind auch gut er khlt mein i7 13700k ohne Probleme. Immer konstant bei hoher CPU (Gaming) zirka bei 60-67 grad echt top bei so einer starken CPU!
Had some troubles installing on am4 motherboard. Problem was that when I assembly as in instruction (which was hard to find also) the mb backplate was loose but when I searched internet about this I found that its normal and when tightened down the cooler pump it all fit.

Crazy loud fans, good coole
The fans that come with this are very loud, and that is frustrating given the cost of this cooler. I replaced with Noctua fans and the noise level was half as much (and almost silent).
There were also no instructions for the installation, and as this was my first cooler setup I had to rely on several YouTube videos and some online help…very bad Corsair!
Best for SFF
I have this on a 3600 in a small (11 litre) SFF case.
Extraordinary performance. Although cheaper and more effective altertives exist in other situations (larger cases primary), it still took 30c off my temps vs stock.
WHISPER QUIET AND DOES THE JOB !
I have been using corsair H80i on my old rig 6600k for last 6 years its done a great job
so after a lot of looking around decided to stick with corsair, the H100 is basic AIO and its doing the job on my new build i5 10600 temps are 23c on idle and 67 under sustained load (prime 95) its around 40 -50c
when gaming in rust which am very happy with (gtx 1080 133/150 fps)
i can only speak for my own experience with corsair but am very happy with it its very quiet and does the job
Reduced temperatures by 25 Degrees, Allows big Overclock
Installed on an i5-9600KF Artic MX-4 Paste to Replace a Coolermaster Cooler.
The CPU was being thermally throttled with default settings (Boost to 4.7GHz).
It is now sitting rock solid at 5.2GHz (49*106.2) on all cores with an undervolt of -0.03V and never goes above 70 Degrees C.
It's a workable basic water cooler.
I bought this purely as a lazy fix for my failed 100i so that I could just pop it back in without the song and dance of setting up the back support on the motherboard. It’s not as good as the 100i, and I paid full price for it, so I guess I would like it better if it were 20 or 30 quid cheaper. It does the job though. Unless you have a specific reason to get this, or it is on offer, I’d pony up the extra 15 and get the superior 100i.
Keep It Cool Man!
Existing custom built PC kept shutting down and on investigation found the pump had seized. Tried without success to free the impeller and bring it back to life, but it wasn’t to be.
Fortunately this unit is pretty much exactly the same dimensions etc, so after some time dismantling the mother board, psu and removing pcie cards, managed to extract the old radiator, pipe work and CPU pump.
The replacement works like a charm, quiet and cool. The PC lives agai
No frills just chills
Corsair, in my opinion, produce the easiest AIO liquid coolers to install.
This one went in a Fractal Design Nano case playing host to an MSI ITX motherboard with an Intel Core i5 11400.
The PCs primary role is for work but with gaming scope.
The Intel stock cooler really wasn’t up to the job, 70c+ temps for work and 80c+ gaming, and this was a cost effective, quiet, easy to install replacement perfect for work and occasional gaming.
My preference, based on experience, is to front mount the radiator as close as possible in-line with the case’s rear exhaust fan. Pulling in cool air over the radiator and exhausting the warm air out of the rear.
Hope that helps
Easy replacement fitting, but more involved for first time use. Well worth the effort!
Bought this to replace an 8 year old Corsair H100 cooler. The H100 was getting noisier and noisier, and eventually caused a CPU fan error to display on start up. I think pump died or coolant evaporated. No problem as it was 8 years old so I wasn’t unhappy!
This replacement H60 was a breeze to fit – mainly as the bracket was already on the motherboard from the old H100, and fitting are fully backwards compatible. Took maybe 20 minutes to fit.
Noise levels are amazing; so low! Temps are great – got my 9700K running at 35ish idle which I’m quite happy with.
Always happy with Corsair, and this was no exception.
Loud and doesn't move enough air.
Don’t use this for a quiet build and don’t use this for an i7-8700. Idle is 50’C. Use a double fan radiator. I replaced the fan with a 120mm be quiet silent wings 2 fan and it’s now much better. Idle is now 38-40’C. Given corsairs reputation I was disappointed, this has put me off updating the cheap rgb fans for icue ones.
Spot O
Fixed into Corsair case in the rear but sucking air in, through the radiator. Cooliing an i7 10700K with temps at idle around 30 and up to 60 during gaming. The H60 can do it, just make sure it’s seated properly and sucking in cold air from outside the case over the radiator, not blowing hot air over the radiator from inside your case.
*** LGA1200 **** you need to slide the nuts on the back plate so that they line up with the holes in the motherboard. It took me 20 minutes to work that out and I thought I had bought the wrong cooler. LGA1200 is not specified on the box nor in the manual, but it is on the website.
Good but there are minor downsides
Overall this is a very good CPU water cooler. I have a i7-8700k (never overclocked it) and it kept my CPU at 30 degrees on idle and 70 under full load. The pump itself is also very quiet, the only part that really makes noise is the fans when they need to be at a higher RPM but this is to be expected of any PC fan.
The downsides are mainly installation. This can be a bit of a pain to install especially since the tubes aren’t very flexible. Also, screwing in the fans along with the radiator will take a few goes. Lastly, this product lasted me about 2 years before the pump failed and I was just a week off the 2 year manufacturing warranty so I had to scrap it. I am a little disappointed that it couldn’t have lasted longer but you can’t expect closed loop water cooling system to last forever.
Good no frill coole
For AMD you need to have the stock mounting bracket which i dont have anymore & need to buy one from amazon, I would much preferr the back plate + screw approach than using the AMD stock 2 hook approach. Previously i sent back an IDcooling 240mm pump failed on 1st day, was getting 74c on prime95 2600x @4.1ghz 1.35v. This corsair managed 71c but a with higher rpm fan. It has extra screws for a push-pull config while the idcooling dont. Hopefully it doesnt fail like the other one.
Great for AM4 Ryze
This was easy to install, and it fit in my corsair carbide case even though it isn’t on the supported list.
I’m seeing a temperature of around 55 degrees under load with a Ryzen 5 3600, pushing an overclock out of it can get the CPU Package temperature as warm as 75 degrees.
This is much quieter than the stock cooler, and it mounted onto the AMD Retention clip without any issues. My only complaint would be the lack of speed control on the pump, and the fact that the pump requires a Sata connector to power it.
What a faff-on to fit this Corsair cooler into a Corsair case
You would think that a Corsair cooler would fit easily into a Corsair case. Wrong, not if you have an ASUS Crosshair V Formula Z motherboard installed it won’t. Fouls on the memory DIMMs. I had to remove the 2 x DIMMs and hacksaw a ” off the memory’s cooling fins. Amazed they worked afterwards.
The worst things was: My computer kept overheating and shutting down. Graphics cards were hot and the processor (8 Core AMD FX-950) even hotter so I thought a new cooler was the solution. Apart from a 5 hour faff-on to fit the thing, which incidentally, works fine now. Removed the old cooler to find the gap between the fan blades and the cooling radiator was completely blocked solid with thick dust. The air just couldn’t get through. Wish I had checked, would have saved the cost of a new cooler = 84. 🙁
80c down to 45c
I bought this for my Ryzen 9, having been intel for years I knew AMD chips run hotter just didn’t know how much. The stock wriaith prism cooler is fine but with my PC being in a south facing room, CPU was getting up to 80c after an hour on COD Warzone.
Fitted this liquid cooler now it gets to 45c max during an hour of Warzone. Easy to fit if a little time consuming. Decide which way you want the fans before fitting them then having to remove to turn round, I run mine as air intake.
Great AIO
This is currently in use in a gaming PC with a 6 core CPU with a 95w TDP, this cooler handles it just fine, with the fan speed always staying fairly low, the only time they are audible is when the CPU is above 90% for an extended period of time. It is pretty easy to install, but the tubing can be fairly hard to maneuver into place if you have the radiator above the CPU. The build quality is very good, being a Corsair product, the software which you can download to have greater control over it is very useful. Overall it is a great addition to any PC which will be producing a lot of heat and you want to keep it nice and quiet.
Great thermals and Low sound pollutio
I bought the H100 to pair with my new Ryzen 7 3700x as I needed better cooling for the new processor when its under a heavy load. The thermals on this AIO are amazing for the price of it, at idle my processor sits at around 29 degrees Celsius, with heavy load for a substantial amount of time (Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order) the max my processor went up to was around 49 degrees Celsius. So for the price of the AIO its definitely worth it. Installation was a lot easier than I had originally expected, but there are some issues that i had with it. The screws to attach the fans to the radiator are a bit of a pain to get threaded properly, and the pump dangles when you install the radiator which was a pain to move, i recommend getting an extra pair of hands for this part, however as an alternative to custom water cooling, this thing is a breeze.
I recommend the H100 and its subsequent remodels to those of you who are looking for a cheaper way of water cooling your cpu, while still retaining excellent thermals.
Does a reasonable job
I got this as my Cooler Master 212 EVO wouldn’t fit on my new motherboard as a few bits of cowling and heat syncs for other components on the board were obstructing its placement. This has solved that problem to by moving the bulky heat sync component to the edge of the case.
Performance has been okay so far although recently I have been contemplating replacing the thermal paste as I have seen some 20c temperature differences between the CPU and the cooler temperature readings.
The main limiting factor from what I can tell is the size of the radiator as I haven’t see the “performance” mode on the pump, which boosts RPM from ~1920-2880, make much, if any, difference to the temperature.
Finally – a liquid CPU cooler that is cheap, easy to install and actually works. Perhaps the trickiest part of the installation is removing the old CPU heat sync, but have some paste cleaner handy to wipe the old CPU clean before installing the liquid cooler. The new heat sync sits on top of the CPU neatly and the pack includes fastening straps for both AMD and Intel CPUs. Finding a home for the radiator was a challenge for us because our case was crowded, but once a home had been located on the side of the case by a fan we were good to go. And this thing actually works – it is silent (no CPU fan, obviously) and temperatures are consistently below their old thresholds. Gaming experiences have improved as a result as we no longer hear fans struggling. And the temperatures remain cooler than before.
Stylish and Quie
I finally decided to replace my hyper 212 evo as it was getting pretty loud at times and grabbed this thing to do the job for an i7 7700k
Installation had me a bit worried at first, little bit of a tight squeeze putting the radiator in but once it was installed it was super snug
The head that sits on the CPU is a bit tough to move but it is really easy to install, especially compared to the Hyper 212 evo which had you balance a cross that could easily fall off
I removed the pre-applied thermal paste and went with the Arctic MX4 thermal compound
As for performance and noise, both are great, in a closed off room which was pretty warm running Risk of Rain 2 at the very high stages of the game with a friend I checked the cpu temp to find it was only sitting at 45 degrees
Even testing it in the most stressful environment I could think of which is Fort Tarsis in Anthem due to how unoptimised it was it kept a steady low temperature
If you’re looking into water cooling then this thing could totally be for you, I’m absolutely in love with it.
Keeps the CPU cool with no fuss.
This was a great choice for new PC build. Running the latest i7-8700k which runs at 5.0GHz easily. This is great for keeping it cool. Like < 50C. You honestly can't hear the pump at all. Designed for easy install for intel. Plenty of options depending on your case. I used the front fans from the case (2x200mm) to mount the radiator. Then the 2x120mm fans supplied I mounted to top of case. There is no faffing about as it's entirely self-contained and seems to run absolutely fine without any modification. You can alter the settings. Yes minor gripe about the RGB although I have the ROG strix GPU which means I can't sync the GPU or cooler with fans+MB so it's like a rainbow in there on colour cycle. Just a point to note, there is thermal paste directly on the contact plate when you get it. I can't say anything about the quality of that paste as I had to take it off to get a replacement MB. I then used the Artic MX4 paste just to make sure no issues. Overall great and so simple to use and run.
Probably the best AIO you can ge
Where to start, ok I’m saying this is one of the best because it actually is. Even Steve from GN rates this in top 5. But I use the 9900k and I have an ASUS Maximus Xi Formula and I OC it to 5ghz 5.1ghz stable and cooler points this is scoring over 200. The reason this is so good at cooling is because the tubing is a bit fatter than the pro series also the fans have a max rpm of 2400-2600. Also the thermal plate is very fat for heat spread. This is definitely better than the H100i and maybe even the H150i. Corsair did say that this is their best AIO and it is classed by Corsair as extreme cooling. Like I mentioned before I use a high end board and cpu there is now way I’d be able to achieve the OC I can without a good cooler. So I do recommend this.
Super efficient cooling system from Corsair that looks good
This is the first liquid cooling system that I have installed in my desktop previously relying on a big lump of an air cooling fan. I have to say that installation is simplicity itself and a perfect fit on my 9th gen Intel CPU though the installation kit provided covers a range of Intel and AMD processors. CPU temperatures are much lower than previously achieved with an air fan and remain stable in use. There is an on-line video installation guide from Corsair which is helpful. However, one thing that does seem odd is that the ‘radiator’ cooling fan is set up to take external air and blow this through the radiator block into the case which does seem counter intuitive but this setup does work really well providing that you have enough extract from the case. Also, the radiator fan speed is controlled by Bios meaning quiet running speed but make sure to use the correct Bios fan speed controlled power pins on the main board. These is also subtle LED lighting on the CPU module that is nice.
Overall, a great liquid cooling solution that looks good and works efficiently. A definite upgrade from an air cooled CPU fan.
I am very happy with this cooler, I have mounted it at the front of my pc case and I have not seen my cpu go over 40C which is superb, even after a few hours of intense gaming. It was a bit footery to install but that’s no fault of the product, I’m only glad it withstood me shoving it about my case to fit it in. The size js fine and as stated, the tubes are fairly flexible to an extent (get them in the designated position and they tend to stay as there are once you’ve screwed the radiator and cooler in properly.) There is a app you can install (Corsair Link), it isn’t included with your purchase but can be downloaded on the internet and helps when configuring or viewing your temperature. I would recommend this cooler if you can afford it and I have had no issues so far.
Fantastic Cooler for the price.
If you don’t care about RGB then this might be the looking and performing AIO cooler around.
This cooler can keep my Ryzen 7 1700 @ 3.7GHz 1.35v under 30c at idle and under 60c when under full load, It can also keep my i5 7600k at stock settings under 60c when running for an 11 hour Aida64 stress test. The cooler stays quiet when under load making it hard for me not to recommend. In my particular PC, my PSU is louder than the cooler. Some reviewers have said its not a particularly quiet
Installing the cooler on AMD motherboards is a little bit trickier than Intel boards as there are two pre-installed brackets intended for installing on Intel motherboards which are not the easiest to remove. once you have got those off and put the AMD Bracket on its a very easy install, especially because the cooler uses the cooler mounting hardware preinstalled on AMD motherboards.
Everything working fine, out the box good shake of the pump and prod and poke of the rad inlet/outlet confirmed everything water tight. Had my system running full time for over 72 hours so any inherent failures would have presented themselves by now I would have hoped. No horror stories of no paste, missing fans, cracked radiators I’ve seen in the other reviews.
Mine is paired with a 2700x running and hitting around 54 degrees when stressed and resting at 37, this is opposed to the Wraith Prisim Max cooler that was hitting 80 easily so very happy with the results. The fans were both inserted into my motherboard CPU Fan/Support fan headers so I have complete control of temps and fan curve. Never exceeded more than 50% speed so the entire thing is running dead silent now. This model will report faults to the AIO pump header but you cannot control the speed of the pump. At this price bracket I wouldn’t expect that.
Will report back if I have any issues but this is the third corsair AIO product I’ve used and all have been fine, the other two are still going strong.
Move from 120mm air cooler due to space and improved air flow
Easy to install good quality and feel to the pump and supplied fan. This replaced a 120mm phanteks air cooler, I have a smallish case matx build with a 1080ti which produces a lot of heat and it was too cramped with such a big air cooler. The h60 allows for more air flow front to back and temps and airflow have improved. Pump was a little noticeable on first use. But on 2nd run I didn’t even notice it which was slightly worrying but temps have remained stable so it’s working. Idles around 30 and gaming load gta5 1440p high / ultra quality is around 55-65 with modest stock fan noise. I have it set up in a pull config at the rear of case for ease of cleaning the rad, linus tech tips also recommends this. Glad I made the change just hope it’s good for a while longer yet.
Extremely quiet, very efficient, good value for money
This is definitely a very efficient cooling system, with a radiator the size of a motorbike rad.
My i3970X turned up to 5Ghz (from shop 3.5) manages to get to 70C on a hot day. Normal working temperature around 40C, nice and cool.
Very very quiet.
However I have to say that the durability is probably not the greatest – the previous one survived 5 years normal use before mangling the pump impeller and there’s no obvious way to repair it, which is quite bad on a thing that simple (common, closed loop impeller pump and a rad with some rubber tubing, hardly rocket engine).
This is a second one which I had to buy to replace the first one and judging by reviews I’m not the only one or with shortest lifespan – others report much shorter.
Apart from durability issue, which is somewhat reflected in the price – this is a very good, strong cooling solution for extreme setups.
4 stars due to poor instructions
I’d have given this 5 stars if the instructions were clearer. However I am immensely impressed with my H60 cooler. When I built my PC, the stock cooler and the processor were already installed. I was nervous about installing a liquid cooler for the first time as I had never done so before, not even with a aftermarket air cooler. It was very straight forward, even thought the instructions were poor and hard to read through the bad diagrams. I’d say I’m VERY ammature at installing coolers as this was my very first time, and I made no mistakes as it’s mostly common sense. The cooler itself looks great, it’s quiet and keeps my CPU much cooler than I anticipated. I use an i7 3770 non K (non overclocked). Wouldn’t recommend it to hotter/newer/overclocked CPU owners because of the 1 120mm fan and radiator, but I’d recommend it to everyone else.
Some initial noise, hopefully resolved
Some initial pump noise (like an old fashioned hard drive seeking noise) which from a post-purchase internet search seems common and probably related some some trapped air.
Took off the pump and turned 90 degrees so that the tubing is now at the top of the pump rather than the side and the noise seems to have gone after leaving PC off overnight. The motherboard is in a mid tower case so is mounted vertically and I’ve chosen to mount the radiator in the top of the case, not the back which already had a fan.
This is my first water cooler so long term it remains to be seen, and if the noise doesn’t return then would deserve 5 stars.
Temps seem cooler than the air cooler it replaced, but I’ve also changed cases and we’re in the middle of a UK heatwave so difficult to judge true relative temps.
Great temps, but very large!
I’d almost bought the EVGA CPU 240mm cooler, but I read some reviews which really threw caution in the mix. Instead I opted to get this one. The CPU cooler on my last PC was also Corsair, and had done very well for me.
They’re a brand I trust for sure. (You have to trust something when it’s keeping 300+ CPU’s safe.) CPU idles at around 30-33 it also seems to keep pretty cool under load, which is the most important thing.
If I had a couple of negatives to add I’d say that I don’t like the power cable, which is a USB-C type cable that plugs to the underside of the cooler. Maybe this is common with AIOC, but obviously us PC enthusiasts like cables to be as discreet as possible. This is not very discreet. The cooler is also very large, so make sure the case you are buying has enough space! (Can be front or top mounted.) For comparable scale, it’s roughly the same length as my 1080ti (see images) and at least a third deeper. I have a Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Glass case and it fits with no issues whatsover, though I did’t want the DVD drive, so removed the bays. If I did want a DVD drive I could see it being more problematic for some mid-tower cases.
Aside from that, I’m very happy with my purchase and happy that I continued to believe in Corsair.
Would recommend
I previously had a Corsair H80i GT which worked (and still does work) perfectly. I decided to get the H100i because I have updated to a hotter running Intel 7700k, slightly over clocked to 4.5Ghz. I am amazed at how well it performs. Idle temps are averaging 30C and under load it hits 50-60C. I have set it up as an intake push/pull config with the fans running at 40% and increasing after it gets above 60C (which is never) so over all the system is very quiet at about 45db even when gaming. This is something that I have never been able to do with air/passive cooled systems.
The only issue I faced was with the tubes. They aren’t the most flexible, which is a positive and a negative depending on how you look at it. So I ended up having to cable tie them in place. I would of also liked to see some more of the long screws provided to go through the fans and get to the radiator so it makes setting up the push/pull easier. But any decent hardware shop should have these.
All in all I would recommend this product to anyone!
