Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100I CPU Cooler System LGA1155 1156 1366 2011 AM2 AM3 FM1 & FM2

Comment:
bought it for my bro's new pc and i'm using H100 for myself and they both are working the same but just one without fan bottom control!!

Pump is not dead silent as corsair said but still, i'm a noise freak, can't realy get that thing with no sound so i wasnt expecting better. I switch to noctua fans, sound drop  alot. I can only hear the noise pump but it is very very low at least.

I bought this to install on a GTX 560 Ti card to improve cooling and get rid of a wobbly fan on the stock cooler. The hoses were not long enough to reach a suitable mounting point. A couple inches would have made it work.As a CPU cooler, this unit works really well. The fans run full throttle on startup, which is noisy, but settle after a few seconds. The management software is really nice, as is the extra fan control channels. One unexpectedly handy feature is the LED logo on the pump/block. The logo changes colour with heat, so it makes for a nice visual indicator.

To go with my i7-4770k, I needed to make sure the cooling was efficient for overclocking purposes. CPU is at a 30°C on average and peaks at 40°C under load.Aside from it's size, this cpu cooling system is not a buyer's remorse. This review was modfied by poster @ 09-07-13 12:09 PM

Purchased this badboy on sale/rebate for $79.99. I got it to replace my H100. Simply for the Corair Link

Comment:
this cookie cutter is built to outperform any air cooler while being affordable. Compared to a real open-loop liquid cooling system, it is maintenance free and cheaper even though it may not be as cool. However it's still a great buy if you are looking for something between air and the open-loop liquid cooling system. I'd recommend this to any beginner pc builders or enthusiasts who don't want to fill the liquid all the time.

Have purchased and installed in past for others without a problem, however the one I picked up here for myself had a loud pump and now one of the fans from the connector stops spinning)will try corsair RMA as it was a bit out of ncix 30 days... goes to show, test out all your parts as soon as you get them even if building later (the one time I dont...)Going to buy another one in the mean time as I have had great response in past from them

Had to RMA my first H100i, and NCIX was AWESOME in their response and turnaround time! Customer service here is why I order again and again!My 2nd H100i is great. I replaced the stock fans, which were a little noisy with 4 SP120 PWM High Performance edition fans. The only issue I've had is that one of the cables that connects the H100i to the fans is faulty - I've put in a request to Corsair to replace it.I have the unit front-mounted in a Fractal Design R4 in push/pull configuration, and the fan wires and coolant tubes are *just* long enough to reach.My i5-2500k is clocked to 4.9 GHz, and under Prime 95 with the fans in QUIET mode (topping out at 1100 rpm), temps don't go over 65C after 6 hours. This is a full 10C lower than the H60 in push/pull.Long story short - GET THIS COOLER! If you want a fast and quiet system, replace the stock fans with SP120's and put it in a nice, quiet case like the Fractal Design Define R4.

On stock clocks this cooler is extremely good.Idles at 25-30Loads 35-40I feel it performs even better when trying to overclock.I bought a i5 haswell cpu with less than average overclockability.I was able to push that bad cpu to 4.5 at 1.35v with aida64 running for 1h. Max temps were at 90.(Didn't try running games)CPU was hot but vcore was quite high. Corsair software are still buggy

Comment:
Outstanding product.I wanted to replace my thermaltake watercooling from the GT 10(had to refill it once for a while).With the corsair H100i I'm getting better results :idle temp around 35-40°C.100% load CPU temp around 55°C max.Unlucky me, when I bought it for the first time the product was unfortunatly faulty (idle temp around 55°C and 100% load around 90°C.) Second time, got the new one running smooth.

Comment:
The H100i keeps my I7 cpu very cool under normal operations and is very quiet. I did stress it with Prime95 for a few minutes and I could start to hear the fans speed up and my cpu temperature rose from around 28C to 32C. I am very happy with the product.Totally not mentioned in the manual is the included second fan power cable for an additional 2 fans which are not included.

Both hardware and software install was easy. I contacted Corsair for backplate to fit my LGA 775 socket Mobo and their response was excellent. However I am not seeing the drop  in CPU temps that I was hoping for. I previously had a Zalman 92mm LED CPU Cooling Fan - Curved Heatpipe Design, Multi-socket Support, 2 Ball-bearing (CNPS9500A LED)installed and temps hovered around 30-45C depending on the core and load on my Q9450. That's pretty much what I am getting now on the balanced profile in Corsair Link. I'm getting 29-44 with fans at full speed. The cooler is installed in an Azza 2000 case and I left the top fans in for what I hope is a push pull configuration. So for 2 times the price of my Zalman I'm getting about the same performance. Hmmmm???? This review was modfied by poster @ 06-18-13 08:51 PM

this keeps my Proc nice and chilly. Easy to install and nice and quiet. Had to go online to get the software for it.

This cooler is great. It's a piece of cake to install, and looks good. Thank god they went with a SATA power connector this time around as well instead of Molex. The fans are gray, and to me that is a great aesthetic as it goes with everything. Only issue I have with it is with my case/motherboard. If you have a big top VRM heatsink, push/pull may be a tight fit.I have mine on intake on the top of my Cosmos II case, and it keeps my 3770k cool at 4.9GHz and 1.2v.

Got this on sale, and I must say it is working well; it runs a little cooler than my 212 that I had to replace when i changed into a smaller case. With that said however, I did have some issues. I did find that the thermal paste was lackluster, and I ended up replacing it with some arctic silver that dropped the temps around 10c at full load. Fans are load over 1500rpm (then again what fan isnt!). However i do suggest using a fan controller, i was not a huge fan of corsair link.

I recently bought this for overclocking my i7 950. My previous cooler was a Noctua NH-U12P. While OCing at 3.8ghz my i7 was easily exceeding 100 C at full load. I think this was partially due to my case configuration since I have a lanboy air so this review is a bit of an apple and oranges comparison. When I installed the H100i my temperatures went down to a stable 70 C at full load. I'm currently running at 4.2 ghz and the processor idles around 40 C and at full load is around 75 C.I did have some issues installing the H100i into my lanboy air case. Since the cooler is all-in-one it's not possible to use the lanboy air's intended design for water cooling which puts the radiator on top of the case with water tubes entering the case at the back. (Didn't realize this until after I bought it.) It's also not possible to install the radiator at the inside top of the case because the external IO cabling gets in the way. I ended up using superglue to attach the radiator (and fans) to one of the cases' side panels. Since the H100i has ports on it for up to 4 fans I added the two Noctua fans to the radiator for a push-pull configuration. I also installed a separate fan in the top of the case so that cool air comes down from above and then out the side through the radiator. This configuration works well because it also provides cooling for my RAM. I also had to remove my rear fan to make space for the radiator which is where I got the extra top fan from.Overall extremely happy with how this cooler has worked out.

Excellent results on my 980x g 4.25 Ghz running 19c to 30c g idle with peak Temps (Linpak ) 71c on hottest Cores, believe about 6c cooler than the old TRUE .Set-up in push mode up top intake from room and "push" thru Radiator. Simple to install, very tiny mod on my TJ09, notched corner bracket so you could properly slide the MOBO tray in and ensure clearance. Also, frees up so much more space over Mobo as no behemoth Cooler w 2 fans !

Comment:
Unit is quiet and yet can keep the cpu at a relatively low temperature. the ability to change the led color on the pump is nice.

Comment:
This is one of the best coolers you can get for your rig in my opinion. The Link system is fully customize-able and allows you to control/monitor your pump speed and temp as well as fan speeds, gpu temp and gpu fan speed, HDD temp and SSD temps(and probably more. That is just what I've used it for thus far.) Can also log and has a 256 RGB LED on the pump(on cpu) that you can have match your own lights or case.

Comment:
Performs very well, keeps things much much cooler than stock cooling. Fairly straightforward to install. Highly recommended.

AMD FX8350 overclocked to 4.6ghz, idle 22°. online watch video min 17° to max 35°. play crisis2 under 48° and battlefield3 under 55°

Comment:
when securing the back plate on the mobo, its quite loose after tightening all the screws on, not sure if its just me or other people having the same issue, it tightens up after the pump is installed.

Comment:
The ease of using an AIO cooler was the reason I bought this, unfortunately the build quality is questionable.

Comment:
Works great, upgraded from a Corsair H60 and my temps were lower by a good 10-20c.

Best water cooler i have ever used. Really easy to put on too.
