Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3
Cons:- First unit stopped working after 3 days (RMA).- Had to replace noisy stock fans for quieter ones.- Very stiff tubes.- Weak molex.
Pros:- Looks great (clean and simple).- Easy to install.- Keep my overclocked CPU cool. Comment:
I installed this H100 on my i5 2500K 4.2GHz and right away I was impressed by how nice it looked. It was the replacement of my Hyper 212+. The installation was easy and it works, though the first unit I received became defective after 3 days. My CPU idles around the mid 20's (Celsius) and under load I haven't seen it go past mid 30's - this is on the lowest cooling setting too! I'd recommend the Corsair H100 for anyone looking to make their rig sexier and have ultimate CPU cooling. |

Cons:Pump makes a loud mechanical noise when at max
Pros:Closed liquid cooling and a dual radiator for $99.99? Sold Comment:
Pump makes a loud mechanical noise when at max but the temps only dropped 1-2C between medium and max pump speed. Left it at a quiet medium and it works fine. Can't rate it 5 stars though. |

Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3
Cons:none so far!
Pros:well built and packaged, simple installation, extreme performance and competitive price point! Comment:
Installed simply into my Antec p280 in a push config, overclocked my I5 2500k Sandybridge to 4.6 from stock without any issues. runs cool in bf3 maxed settings. I think it would be difficult to run push pull in this case without some modding or externally mounting pull fans |

Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3
Cons:- Fans extremely loud (Jet Engine loud) at System Boot and at Resuming from Sleep for first 10-20secs then it ramps down- under maximum CPU load...stock fans can get LOUD
Pros:- works as advertised- pump not noisy at all (for now)- can control 4 fan speeds based on coolant temperature- looks cool- best way to get hot air off the CPU and directly out of the case Comment:
I have read many reviews and thankfully at this point, the Pump and pump noise are not an issue and cooling is superb. It's a slick looking system.I was able to eliminate the Jet Engines sound of the 2 stock fans by adding inexpensive Speed Controllers inline with the stock 2 fans which are pushing. I found a sweet spot for max speed. Now the H100 can still ramp up the speed during heavy loads but it's not so violent and it still is within good temperature specks even running the H100 at it's lowest preset. (idle=36-40degress and 10mins full load is 63-68degrees)I have a push/pull system and the top 2 pull fan speeds are not affected by the H100 speed control and this seems to work well. My tests indicate no need for the PULL fans...just the stock push fans are fine. |

Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3
Cons:None really...But, This thing is LARGE, but what do you expect?
Pros:Easily installed in a Corsair 600T case, on a LGA2011 i7 3820. Don't know what people are talking about, this is simple to install. Comes with hardware to install on almost any CPU. Adjust performance/noise at the touch of a button..With voltages up just a bit, I got it up to around 4.6 Ghz easily!! (Bclk 125 x 37 cpu ratio) fans low, CPU idle i 25-28C. Running MW3 and RAGE it has yet to go above 48C!! Im sure that getting above 5Ghz will be no problem with this Cooler/case combo!! Same price range as the smaller Intel liquid cooler.. If you have room for it, this thing is awesome!Looks sweet if you have a windowed case.. Comment:
Worked like an ALMOST perfect dream in the Corsair 600T case. Mounted right to the top.. My Sabertooth board did get in the way of the radiator because of the heat sink at the top, so even with a case that's designed to run this cooler, I had a few problems because of its size. |

Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3
Cons:The pump died like many other peoples H100
Pros:Awesome cooler for 3 months Comment:
As you will find after doing some research into the product on-line, many many people have an issue of the pumps dying. It starts with a clicking noise that can be solved by turning the case on its side, then eventually the pump stops working all together. I found that thousands of people have had the exact same problem and perhaps corsair needs to have better quality control on this product as I have been very impressed with some of their other products. |

Cons:expensive and rigid hoses, extra screws should be provided
Pros:Cools my overclocked x4 at 3.8GHz with ease, quiet Comment:
This thing is quiet and cools my 3.8GHz AMD easily. I wish they had thought to include a few extra of the special fan screws for people who want to add the extra fans. I have 20 years worth of extra screws and bolts lying around from computers and electronics and none have the same threads. Thanks Corsair. 8 extra screws would kill you after I spent $100 on this thing? In the end I'm satisfied cause the product does the job I wanted it to do. |

Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3
Cons:Died after 3 days of use.
Pros:Works very well. Great if you have tall RAM heatsinks. Have OC my I7-2600K to 4.7 GHz and CPU temp never gets above 45 C. Comment:
This cooler works great. CPU temps are low at high CPU loads (prime95). OC my cpu to 4.7 GHz and temps are still low (max 45 C). Be careful on your installation config. I have 2 new rigs that are the same except for the fan/rad configurations and there are differences in the performance. In my case, (500R), I have the rad mounted closest to the top mesh and the fans inside the case pulling air into the case. My first unit did die, unfortunately. NCIX RMA'd it (but it took forever). After 3 days something went wrong with the fan controller on it and the fans were stuck on HIGH speed. The pump still worked so no harm to CPU. While waiting for the replacement, I use the stock fan that came with my I7-2600K and while running prime, CPU temps kept climbing above 60 C, so i quit the test at that point. So, this cooler definitely makes a differce. Would recommend it. I guess we will see in the long term if there are any leaks or problems. This also makes the inside of your case look very neat and tidy and easy to work on.........no huge cooler to look at. Would also recommend if you have tall memory heat sinks. Just make sure your case will work with the rad. |

Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3
Cons:I couldn't figure how to fit it in my antec 900 so I had to use 4 small metallic wires (The one you use to close garbage bags) to tie it in the front of the case.
Pros:Ideal cooling solution for CPU overclocking, even comes with pre-applied thermal compound pasteKeeps my core i7-950 OC'd 4.2GHz cool in a very small room that gets very hot. Comment:
I really enjoy how great this cooling solution is, the main goal was to have a stable overclock in a little room with little to none ventilation, even in the summer. Results are more than satisfactory: I did not got a single bsod since and it was my first time overclocking! (Found a thread on overclockersclub about a guy overclocking the same processor than me with the same motherboard... Kinda got me started)I used IC diamond thermal compound paste on it and ended up getting excellent results!Buy this if your computer is in a room with bad airflow and/or high humidity level, it will work wonders! |

Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3
Cons:Is a bltch to install in a Bitfenix colossus
Pros:Performs very well ... Comment:
It can be done but youre forced to set it up in a pull config, mind you ... adding 2 fans to make it push pull would be very easy and cheap. the only way to set it up in a push config in this case is to remove a few parts and "ditch" 2 of the usb connections in that front compartment ... i should mention tho that ... the H100 performs EXTREMLY well even in a pull configuration ...(i always setup my rigs to create a MEGA positive air pressure tho ...this may help ) |

Pros:Amazing cooler, easy to install Comment:
I was a little bit iffy on purchasing this product, I've read a lot of reviews where people were getting loud pump noises. The H100 was easy to install, had to rotate it 90 degrees to fit my 2011 socket. Full fan speed the unit is reasonably quite and keep my 3820 m40C under load. I've been running this cooler for two weeks now, and no issues so far. Would recommend to anyone. |

Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3
Cons:pump a little noisy comparatively
Pros:Corsair 500R is a perfect fit. kills two birds with one stone by adding outlet fans to top of case. Comment:
I had to get this for my Corsair 500r. It is part of the whole solution and as a set they work welltogether. I had the eco coolit mounted out the back and it was good to for a 3.8Ghz i7 920. I have Xfired 6850's passively cooled with Arctic cooling Acceleros and with the side fan and internal fan off the hard drive cage and this radiator/fans in the top the whole case seems to work well.On the 500r I have the rad outside top. The fans inside pushing out. The rear, front and side fans pushing in. This creates a very strong chimnney out the top. Not ideal for CPU cooling but helps keep the VGA temps in check. The only improvent I can see is get 9 premium 120 fans and exchange all the corsair ones in the case now. And one last point the top grill on the 500r has metal grill then plastic filter then plastic frame, the grill can be removed from the frame and the plastic filter deleted. big difference in restiction.

Cons:had to rotate 90 degrees to put on for LGA 2011 (known issue)should include some extra thermal compoundmaybe offer a software to control the speed, have to open the case now to change it. there is something you can buy to control that i have to find out the name.instruction is pretty crappy. there are no words just diagrams.
Pros:most important: keep cpu coolperfect fit for the radiator part on high end casesvery well packagedvery quiet Comment:
what's nice about liquid cooler is that even when temperature goes up to 60-70s and you stop the program that's causing it. within 5 seconds it will go back to 30. that is me coming from air cooling.installation wasn't the easiest. had to turn it 90 degrees to fit the socket. which is fine, would be nice to have the logo facing the right direction though. but once you get it done it looks beautiful inside snow edition case.the thermal compound comes with it is for smaller cpu's. so i put some more from my corsair A70. maybe a little more than needed but it's better to have more than less. 3930k idle at 30 degrees or less and load to |

Cons:-large radiator-the included instructions are garbage, but the actual install went pretty smoothly!
Pros:-compatible with NZXT phantom 410 midtower case-keeps cpu VERY COOL Comment:
The H100's small size is less bulky than a more traditional, larger air-cooled heatsink, which will help make cable management, installing ram, etc. much easier. The product works as advertises and is very efficient. Keeps the CPU very cool. Not too loud either! |

Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3
Cons:Does not fit the Antec Eleven Hundred case. Been buying parts over the last 3 months as they come on sale. When I went to build, It was clear that Antec has designed in an effort to prevent the H100 from fitting this case in favour of their Kuhler product. Seems like a great product. Now I have to sell this one and have been assured that the H80 will fit. Heavy sigh...
Pros:The build quality seems really good. A few of the fins were bent a little (remember air conditioners?) Nowhere on their site is there an included case compatibility list. Maybe not possible. The video includes the information that 2X120 fans top mounted is what is required. The Antec case has a large single in the top with no way to adapt. Comment:
Not compatible with the Antec Eleven Hundred gamer case. Like everything electronic, nothing is standard.Would purchase again but they really need to offer adapters or clear compatibility discussion. Even a quick connect arrangement to allow the radiator to be externally mounted. Not an extremist so am not interested in anything other than plug and play. |

Pros:easy to install looks good works great Comment:
Temps under load never go above 30 c , I have an amd 1100t cpu. This replaced a hyper212 which was good but this is better. Had some issue fitting my corsair vengeance ram with the 212 this solved that.I just finished gaming for an hour and temps never went above 25 c in a haf x case and cool room but still pretty awesome. |
i bought this from another website because it was less expensive and had free shipping... got 2 noctua fans from Ncix to replace the stock corsair fans that come with the H100 because i knew they were loud! it came with everything i needed to install and it works very well! got 20C on idle and under 50 load!!!
