Pros: Awesome cooler! Looks nice, easy to install. and outperforms standard air cooling Comment:
Pretty awesome AIO. I went from building full custom loops to throwing this in a mini ITX rig. I have no complaints with the performance, and was able to hit 4.5ghz stable on my 3570K no problem. I highly recommend it for a no hasle, maintanence free liquid cooling setup. |

Cons: Noisy on High!
Pros: Bigger Radiator than the H60Fit's 120mm fan spotsGreat performance Comment:
This unit would be perfect if it werent for the noisy fans. It works wonderfully, the design is compact and efficient. I Would consider getting some PWM fans for this and attaching them to the motherboard controller vs the on board controller as the onboard controller requires manual interaction to change the speed profile. The high setting is "very noisy", the medium setting is noticably loud, and the quiet setting is - quiet, but doesn't move a lot of air. |

Pros: EffectiveProfile buttonSolid buildGood looking Comment:
Keeps my 3770K no-oc at like 20 degree. If you plan to do some overclocking, you should considering buying a h80 or h100. Very easy to install and very silent, even on maximum fan speed. |

Cons: Noise
Pros: Temps; compatibilty; push-pull config Comment:
Running this cooler in a HAF 912 case for 6+ months now, and LOVING it. Keeps my i7 2600k idling at 29C, and kept my previous AMD CPU idling at 33C, so, can't really argue that!I listed noise as a con as most people don't want something that they can hear, though personally, I really don't care. I have the fan settings at 100% [according to the label on top of the pump/heat block] and while I can notice it occassionally, it makes little difference to me as I usually wear a headset for gaming anyways. |

Cons: Kinda Noisy stock fans
Pros: Works Well, Keeps a stable Temp Comment:
The radiator and water-block are good, the stock fans are due for replacement for more silent one's that displace more air, overall it's worth it, make sure you got good airflow in your case also. It cools down my i5 3570k at 30c in a Corsair 300R case and 60-70 during gaming load. (Ivy-bridge is a hot cpu) and my case is small and dense. Temps would be better in a bigger case with better airflow. |

Cons: - Pump noise on 'balanced' setting- Slightly confusing instructions- Backpanel requires a bit of fiddling and had me frustrated for a bit trying to fit it into my ASRock Extreme4 board.- A bit too pricy at $90-100.
Pros: - Very good cooling.- Superior quality thermal paste used (no need to change it, really)- Will fit in any decent case (I got an Antec 1200 V1 so I couldn't get the H100)- Just overall good quality. Comment:
Well, this thing is really good for cooling an Ivy Bridge processor. But I'm thinking that it's probably not the ideal choice, though. The thing with Ivy is that at some point you'll just give up on your OC and choose the 'sweet spot' because it just makes a whole lot more sense. A cooler like this is probably best for a CPU that doesn't have such bad returns as the Ivy Bridge ones. I feel a bit silly for upgrading this from my H50; I'm sure the temps would've been just fine since I ended up not pushing my cpu to its limit (again, makes no sense to use up so much power for so little gain).Still, I can see this is superior to my older H50 and I'd recommend buying it if you can get it for $70-$80. Otherwise, perhaps look into a lower H or a top-tier air cooler for your Ivy Bridge CPU.Installation can be a bit of a pain. Instructions aren't the best. |

Cons: None
Pros: Sleek, easy to install, low-profile Comment:
I don't know why I couldn't find out this specific answer anywhere else, but if anyone is wondering, you can definitely do a push-pull configuration with this in a HAF 912 case. Was a simple installation, and my first aftermarket heatsink to boot. Works very well. I replaced the fans with two Cougar Vortex and have set it to performance mode, which is still extremely quiet (and pretty much inaudible with headphones/headset on).I haven't tried overclocking yet but I'm certain that I won't run into any issues if I do. |

Cons: Loud stock fans
Pros: Easy to install Comment:
First unit was RMAed due to a grinding/clicking noise, but the second unit is completely silent. Replaced the fans with bitfenix spectre pros, which are near silent. Was also able to get my i5-3570 to 4.5 easily, max temps around 65-70C. |

Cons: Fan headers did not work
Pros: Easy to install Comment:
Well what can I say, It was quite easy to install, the tubing is quite stiff but you can work with it. The instructions can be confusing, but just look at them and it and you should figure it out. It seems to be well made, as for performance, I will have to let you know when I get it replaced, The fan header on the pump did not work. So stay tuned for my follow up |

Pros: QualityPerformanceClean LookquietGood Fans Comment:
The only thing that I would suggest before you buy this is to see if an H100 will fit in your case. Otherwise, this is the right choice for you. Ive been using it with my Intel X79 set up, and it keeps my overclocked CPU in the safety zone. |

Cons: Extra thick radiator may not be suitable fro cramped cases.
Pros: Excellent CPU cooling ability. Comment:
Corsair has a terrific cooler that offers excellent cooling, low noise levels, and excellent compatibility. If you're looking for a top-flight CPU heatsink solution, look no further than the H80 by Corsair. |

Cons: *high price- considering well designed air-coolers are approaching the performance and sound levels of these liquid coolers at a fraction of the price*limited selection of cases that can properly fit this unit
Pros: *very easy to install*silent, balanced performance on lowest setting Comment:
There are only 3 speed settings for the dual 120mm fans that sandwich the double-thick radiator. The middle and top settings are too loud and almost unusable yet, necessary to deliver the expected performance of a closed-loop liquid cooler. It does its job, but don't expect decent temperatures on the lowest setting with a fully loaded and overclocked CPU. |

Cons: Not able to add any other cooling options into the system. The pipes are very stiff. If you need to bend them in to place can be intimidating to work with.
Pros: Compact for what it is. Quite. Effective.looks cool and the LED change to many color choices. Comment:
Very compact and maintenance free water cooling system for a CPU. My Intel 3.4G i5 not over clocked runs a full 10% or more cooler than having a cooling block and fan that came with the chip.I have a very large tower that has been mistaken for a small desktop fridge. The only thing I'd like for the next version of this is a larger rad that you can add other cooling devices. Without compromising liquid retention or cooling capacity.Bottom line: Worth every penny |

Cons: Documents not too clear. Can be a bit noisy at medium and high settings. Install vids easy to get online however. I have an Antec 300 case and side panel fan mount has to be removed in order to close up case.
Pros: Easy Installation Comment:
Excellent cooling solution.My temps are nice and low on my i5-2500k. 27-30 idle and no higher than 52 using Prime 95 for over 3 hours.This cooler should allow some nice overclocks. Have not triied overclocking yet, but plan to now that I know this cooler is doing a great job at stock clock speeds.Only real downside is the radiator is quite wide and the plastic fan mount for side panel has to be cut off in order to close up my case. (Antec 300). Not a big deal for me as I do not use the side panel fan. Also, at medium and high settings, fans can be a bit noisy.Overall, it's a great cooler. I recommend it highly.RegardsKevin G. |

Cons: Empty wallet syndrome
Pros: Extremely high quality, durable dual 120mm fans, sleek black design, LED fan control, quiet, push/pull config, better than any air-cooler out there. Comment:
Great for overclocking, wouldn't go above 4.8GHz, as the corsair h80 would be beat by then, really good for the quiet freak, or the gaming enthusiast, reccommend this product, good warranty, quality, and construction, will look best with a corsair obsidian 800D. |

Cons: - somewhat louder than most air cooling solutions unless under full load- takes up what would normally be an exhaust in the rear or top of the case
Pros: - really low temps- push button adjustable fan control- clears up room around the cpu Comment:
One of the best performing all-in-one water cooling solutions, fantastic for overclocking. Only downsides are that it is noticeably louder than air cooling unless cpu is at near full load, and it takes up one of the exhausts in the case. Also considering these all-in-one coolers are starting to drop in price, this cooler is starting to look expensive. |

Cons: can be loud
Pros: cool designwater cooling Comment:
this is one of the top of the line pre filled water cooling unit. aside from the semi loud fans blowing at the medium setting, it is a great cooler indeed. I must say that it looks great inside my corsair 600T case. The only thing I don't like about this unit is the tubes that comes with it. It is not the best quality compared to lets say the antec version and I had a bit of a hard time mounting it. But overall, I would say it is worth it. |

Cons: stock fans are pretty loud on high so i set them to medium and they are pretty silent.
Pros: extremely efficient, easy to install, looks sharp. Comment:
i'm running a fx-8120 cpu on a gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud3 rev 1.1 mobo and it ran at roughly 50-55 c with the stock cooler. with the h80 i overclocked the cpu to 4.0ghz from 3.1ghz stock and it hasn't passed 45c on full load. i highly recommend this cooler. it looks sharp it cost the same as any high end air cooler. it will also take a lot of stress off of your motherboard since the weight of the rad is supported by your case rather than your motherboard holding all the weight. |

Cons: None
Pros: -Keeps system quiet-Easy installation-Not expensive Comment:
I have to say that this is one of the best coolers I have owned. It is easy to install, had my machine up and running in minutes. Keeps my i7 3820 nice and cool under load. While gaming my core temps don't exceed 27 C, while idle my cores are 20-21 C.I leave it set on the middle setting and it works great. Way to go Corsair, what a great product. I highly recommend this cooler to anyone. Especially overclockers. |
Picked it up at my local NCIX store as an open box refurb for $59.99 since I was planning on picking up an AIO system sooner or later. Radiator was a little big dinged up, but nothing too terrible. Assembled new PC and installed it into my HAF 932 Advanced no problem with a push/pull configuration for maximum effectiveness and I am not disappointed. For $60 I've gotten a cooler to keep my 4.7Ghz OC'd 3570k >55 degrees under 100% load. Fans are kind of loud, but I can tolerate it since I use a headset.The H80i might have a better look and quieter fans, but they both seem like very solid AIO liquid coolers.
