Scoobydooby@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 01/29/12	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:installation could be tricky with som case/mobo combinations - also appears that thes units along with h80/60 have some quality control issues. Pros:great price for great performing cooler, pump and fan speed very easy to adjust, barely audible on lowest setting Comment: I made the decision to grab this cooler after withstanding pump noise on a coolit freezone cooler for some time. first one was purchased online at a special price and found that the unit was defective with a noisy pump.picked up a second on sale with ncix an has been great so far.i wanted a cooler that could be run at the lowest setting and still provide enough cooling for a 2600k z 4.6ghz and it does this very well. ive been wanting to take down the overall noise of my system and it has helped me to do just that.installation can be tricky but should fit for most people and their setups. i particularly like how low profiles it is. the fans provided can get loud at medium to high setting, so for higher performance airflow alternate fans may be recommended.i would give a 5 becuase it does offer great cooling at a great price but after reading some of the horrer stories of people going through 6 - 7 units before landing a good one, i cant give it s five star rating. if you do get your hands on a one though its a great performer!
Takz@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 01/25/12	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:None yet Pros:Very good temps Comment: Great cooling on my i7 920!! Running at 3.6Ghz to start and not passing 59C under load!!Great cooler for the price!
Sam_C@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 01/24/12	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:- Not as big/powerful than a custom watercooling kit Pros:- Ajustable speed- Quiet- Easy to install- Reduce heat more than overall fan cooling Comment: This watercooling all-in-one for CPU is very nice. It's great quality for a small radiator (compared to custom watercooling kit). Very quiet, and great cooling. Good enough for extreme overclocking. I recommand it.
Erin_L@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 01/14/12	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:Instructions manual was showing wrong screws for Intel installation, was only hiccup. Pros:$99 on sale, great performance, quieter and cooler than many air coolers. Comment: Amazing cooler, cools 2500K at slight OC of 4.3GHz to ~36�C under at full Prim95 load. Will be pushing it in next couple days.
al360ex@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 01/11/12	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:Not really a con, but I would have preferred a thicker 240mm rad. Pros:Very quiet on idle. Comment: I bought the H100 to replace my H70 inside my Cooler Master HAF X and I'm not disappointed in the results. I currently have a Core i7 920 D0 x4.2GHz (200x21 x 1.328v) which I plan to soon upgrade to a i7 980.I don't want to change socket, because my motherboard is only 1 year old and I don't need LGA2011.I saw a 15 degrees Celsius drop in my temps when stressed with Prime95. I went from a max of 85 to a maximal temperature of 70.This is a great CPU cooler and though the Noctua NH-D14 is very slightly better, it won't look as good in your case.
Jerry_J@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 01/10/12	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:received my units with lots of dings on the radiator, but still cool! Careful on using wrong length of scre that you might ruin the fins. Pros:Really makes my CPU cool! Comment: Highly recommended for someone who likes the CPU area looking clean and clear of those big coolers and having problems with RAMS.
Brandon_D@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 01/10/12	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:Very VERY loud on PC boot, but quiets down afterwards. Pros:Actually very quiet compared to other aftermarket coolers.Looks tidy in my PC.Allowed me to reach a 5.2Ghz overclock at 1.4V (somewhat stable).Great price for the performance. Comment: Amazing cooler, worth every penny.
Priscilla clara_L@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 01/10/12	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:none- Pros:Amazing temps, got to oc my 2500k to 4.7 stock voltage, plan on going up to 6 if likely possible,loud on start-up but goes back to normal when fully loaded. Comment: I have only had this product for 1week and i am very satisfied with my purchase. I didn't exactly fit my case so i had to re-arrange it so it would and sure enough it did and is working like a champ. Highly recommend this to anyone who is wanting a high power cooling system, don't shy 20$ to get the H80, get the H100 it truly is worth it. This review was modfied by poster @ 01-10-12 02:49 AM
Aamir_R@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 01/06/12	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:- HAF 922 mid tower case has a problem as the cutout in the back isn't big enough for the backplate so I had to remove the motherboard. - Took a while to install, it's easier with 2 people as you have to hold the radiator in place =/- You have to open the case to adjust the fan control Pros:- Great Water Cooling System (no re-fill required)- Pre-applied thermal paste- Works well(I've included a link to the detailed installation instructions) Comment: (I've included a link to the detailed installation instructions)My first water-cooling system and I'm already impressed. I got around 40 degrees with my stock cpu cooler when the system was idle, and it's gone down to 30 degrees with the medium fan setting when idle. At high, I'd probably get maybe 2-3 more degrees of cooling. Only problem is that it takes 2 people to install and if you have the HAF 922 coolermaster case then you're gonna have to take out the motherboard to install the backplate.Though, it does what it says and it's probably one of the best cooling systems out there right now.Installation:http://www.corsair.com/blog/installing-the-hydro-series-h100-extreme-performance-cpu-cooler-in-the-obsidian-800d/
Jack_L@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 12/29/11	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:- Radiator a little too big. Was pretty hard to fit in my Cm690 case, but I managed to install it. Not much room there... Pros:- Solid components- Runs quiet Comment: Overall, great product. Radiator is a little too big. When put on maximum profile, its runs pretty loud. Keeps CPU cool, and its probably gonna kick ass in the summer!
bmwbaxter@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 12/22/11	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:Would be nice if they had have used bigger tubing. Pros:Nice clean unit, it is simple to install and easily mounts internally on most cases. Comment: Good product! It would have been nice for them to use bigger tubing so this unit could cool better. It works fine how it is but bigger tubing would put it in the same city as a custom water cooling loop.
joe_s@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 12/13/11	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:Takes a while to install..Little Pricey Pros:Nice Looking cooler, Comment: Great Cooler keeps my cpu temps decently low. I have it installed on a AMD 955 BE and my temps are 22C on idle with overclocked to 4.0 GHz. All four cores are even temps.
EpiTeK@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 12/02/11	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:None Pros:Corsair legendary RMA / Customer supportMaintenance free Comment: Upgraded my Venomous X to this and I'm glad I did it. Better performance and doesn't heat my RAM unlike traditional push or push/pull huge heatsink.
Jean-Francois_B@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 11/26/11	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:- a bit tricky to mount on the X79 UD3 Pros:- great cooling even w/ default fans and at o/c speeds Comment: I taken one unit to cool my brand new 3930K, since a high performance hydro cooling isn't an option on X79 platform. The mounting was a bit tricky but work w/o a itch now, the H100 is able to contain the X79 heat at o/c speed.For the first time i buy a closed loop i'm not disapointed.
andriykoua@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 11/10/11	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:Who in the world creates a manual for Crosshair that is completely useless? Wiring is cheap and flimsy, stock fans need to be replaced for proper cooling Pros:Great system cooling with stock fans replaced Comment: Picked this up for my AMD FX 8150 setup on a Crosshair V motherboard. When, I was setting up my system, I had to spend a good hour to find out how to install this H100 to fit on the motherboard. The fix was very simple, screws inside the plastic beg, but Corsair failed to provide a proper manual. If they don't want to print the manual, I would gladly accept the PDF version. Imagine if someone who has absolutely no computer experience tries to install it.Also, if you want great cooling, you would have to replace the cheap fans that are provided with H100. I got Cooler Master turbines and no it is not the turbine for the plane. I rate this product at 3 stars since it is lacking documentation, cheap wiring, 2 cheap fans that are as useless as floppy drive these days. Hopefully when I overclock, I won't be disappointed.

pikachu4u008@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 10/30/11	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:- will not fit in all cases- did not fit my 650D in a push pull config with ASUS Z68 Pro board (8pin CPU connector is in the way by a couple of millimeters) Pros:- great cooler for idle and load temps- quiet fans when not maxed- quiet pump- on board button to change pump and fan speeds Comment: This CPU cooler is excellent if you can fit it in your case. It fits the 650D no problem. I tried a push-pull config using this case but it wouldn't fit because the 8pin CPU power connector was in the way. If that were 2 mm down, or if the roof of the case were 2mm higher, it would have fit snuggly in place. I let it go since improvements on performance I read are only a few degrees.I swapped the original fans with Gelid Wings and got cooler temps (about 3-8 degrees on both idle and load).
Fran�ois_A@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 10/26/11	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:The radiator fins get bent by the fans screws Pros:Cool And pretty quiet Comment: Just installed this in my new corsair carbide 500r white. Been having temperature problems overclocking my i7 930 with my H50 in a Raven 01. I don't know if it's the combination of the case and this cooler but the change in temperature is quite impressive 10-25 degrees (with 2 gtx 470 installed)
Jordan_S@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 10/24/11	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:really big, 275 x 120 mm doesn't fit in most cases Pros:Keeps average core temp under 50quiet and good lookingmanual control for fan speed Comment: Excellent liquid cooler, keeps my intel i7 2600k golden. Wish it would fit in my current rig, but the 275 mm radiator only fits in certain cases. definitely should check case specs before buying
micheal_s@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 10/16/11	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:Had to modify my case to fit it in and lost one fan slot in my DF85 case but had I done better research I would have know better. Pros:Keeps my rig cool and doesn't lock up like it did with stock cooler and temps are unreal 22c idle and 37 under load Comment: As stated above about losing a fan in my Antec DF-85 case I also had to utilize a couple of 120 to 140mm fan adapters to get the radiator to fit properly. And that being said it's no reason to remove a star for that problem...Corsair once again delivered the goods with this cooler as I would indeed purchase this again
Steven_L@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 10/12/11	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:Somewhat noisy. Pros:Mounting is very easy, keeps temps very cool Comment: Bought this on sale back in September and got it a week after I ordered it. I found mounting the CPU Cooler very easy to mount in a Cooler Master HAF 932. I personally use the 2nd setting for the fan speed because it's right in the middle for noise and keeping temps down. When I was doing my stress testing on my i7 920 d 4.0ghz, I got around 60C (Had a Cooler Master V10 which sucked for me and got around 80C) while the room temp itself was around the mid 20's. Some may think that's bad but I find it fine.
R4BP1D@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 10/02/11	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:fits in the 600t case, but fan extensions needed, lucky i dont fail and i made my own for a whopping $2. Pros:silent and cool, great closed system setup, does fit in a 600t case Comment: using this on an am3+ board to cool a 1100t, runs great. set up in pull configuration on low settings, so the whole desktop is pretty silent. idle is at 25c with full load topping out at 46c-55c (depends on room/case temp, i rarely see 55, but i saw it once). some people made a big fuss about the fan leads being too short for the way it need to be routed on the 600t, but simple fix of fan lead extensions (which corsair could have provided if they were nice) solved that issue, but these types of issues are existent on many different types of cases, shouldn't be a downside to the cooler itself.
Somebody69@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 09/28/11	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:- Installation is a bit tedious. I didn't realize just how stiff the hoses are. You'll want to secure the waterblock somewhere to avoid having to keep it from flopping around near the motherboard.- Questionable quality in some areas. Many users report bent fins (I only saw 3 slightly dented fins), and the 4 pin Molex on mine could have used something to hold the pins in place. The fan speed sensor attached to said connector is also way way too short. - The fan profile button is nice. You can set 3 difference profiles to suit your needs, BUT only if you don't have a panel on the side of your case. The button is on the waterblock itself and I don't think there's a way to control it without the optional Corsair Link ($100 -- wat?!). You could plug the radiator fans into a fanhub I suppose, but really Corsair should bundle something that plugs into a USB header and allows you direct control over profiles and gives you cool stats like coolant temp and pump speed. - 120 is too much. I got this for less than 100 and honestly if you want the best bang for your buck, you should go with air. Pros:- Performs as good as if not better than the best air coolers. Do push/pull for even better performance.- Straightforward installation and good instructions.- Looks nice.- 100% compatible with my HAF932. Holes lined up perfectly. Comment: Performs well and is easier to install than bulky air coolers. I think almost any board can fit this since the pump/waterblock is smaller than the stock Intel and AMD coolers.The installation is pretty easy although the stiff hoses can make the waterblock a dangerous lump of metal threatening to smash into your motherboard. I'd recommend installing the cooler before your board.This isn't the greatest value in the world. Corsair should throw in something like Corsair Link FOR FREE to justify the MSRP of $120. This cooler does not significantly outperform a Noctua D14 which retails for $30 less. Pricematch the H100 to recover some of the value.
magictoaster@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 09/21/11	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:- Fans are somewhat loud at high speed. Pros:- Easy to install.- Fans are relatively silent a low/medium speed.- Great cooling performance. Comment: Easy to install (refer to corsair site for good instructions), and offers great performance even at low speed.
ninezero@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 09/18/11	Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 1366 1156 AM2 AM3 Cons:Vague instructions, fans are on the loud side on medium and highest settings. Pros:Relatively easy to install. Good sized radiator. Included fans work well. Keeps temps manageable. Comment: This is a fantastic alternative to a heatsink + fan combo and installed easily enough. My Core i5 2500k hits a max 47-49C under full load w Prime95 or Crysis using this.I have a Corsair 600T and had to install the radiator inside the case with the two fans outside in a pull configuration. Highly recommended!TIP: If you're looking for a quieter setup, go with two Noctua PF-12 fans instead of the stock fans.
