Granted, it is a constant, consistent hum, but a low hum nonetheless. That was one thing that pleasantly surprised me, as one of my concerns was that I’d have to hear some constant pumping noise. You’ll hear much more of the radiator itself than the fans. Speaking of air cooling, the fans that cool the radiator are quiet. Overall, pretty solid improvement over my Noctua DH-14. A little while of Prime95 stress testing put me in the mid-30s. I idle in single digit degrees Celsius games can get in the low- to mid-20s. Pros: As expected from a good cooler, it keeps my CPU nice and cool. Assuming it will fit in your case, I would highly recommend this AIO on any system, unless your case has room for the even better Corsair H110i.ĬPU: Intel i7-4790K 4.7 GHz 1.218 volts
Overall Review: Overall this cooler offers excellent cooling performance over even the best air coolers at a noticeably quieter volume. The hoses were very hard to maneuver if you have a smaller case as the braiding on the hoses makes them very strong to prevent kinking but does hinder mobility. Basically this means that when a game or another high CPU intensive application is not running the pump has to be manually changed to quiet mode or vice versa. In the Corsair Link software, the pump controls only have two options, either quiet or performance mode, why is there no custom option? For the fans a custom fan curve can be set but not the pump, which is just as if not more important.
It should point towards the front of the case where in my case I have cable management holes where it could quickly disappear. Why would anyone want it pointing towards the back of their case where there is literally no easy way to cable management it and get it out of the way. If you want this cooler in this case, I suggest you do a lot of planning to make sure it will fit as it is really tight.Īssuming the water block is installed in the correct orientation, with the Corsair logo being legible and not upside down, the right angle mini USB connector is angled the opposite way that it should be. The new one however is all one piece so the screws can’t get stuck and makes it way easier to remove.Ĭons: Required a lot of effort to get it installed into a Corsair Carbide 300R case as the 4+4 pin CPU power cable, a heatsink for the motherboard and the memory were all in the way. This causes them to spin around in the plastic when you try to take out the screws making it extremely difficult to remove. That one uses metal screw holes which kind of float inside the plastic back plate. Has a new and much better back plate compared to the one on my Corsair Hydro H70. Has an RGB LED on the water block that can be set to change color when the CPU gets hot
