Corsair H100i RGB Platinum AIO CPU Cooler Review
Pricey
Released far too close to the previous generation
£90 is a lot of money for a cooler
The included SP120L fans are loud
Average thermal performance
Very loud under load
Many cables to manage
Not the quietest cooler tested
The CPU block cover could be a little more open
To improve illumination further
More expensive than other 240mm liquid CPU coolers.

There are several reasons to purchase the new H100i over the older H100 or many of the other dual rad (240mm) AIO water-cooling kits out there. Some of these reasons might be the new higher performing fans, the easier to install mounting hardware, wider y...
Offering the best cooling that we've ever seen from a single cooler, the H100i is an undeniably impressive piece of kit. Though £90 is a lot to pay for a CPU cooler, it's much cheaper than a custom water-cooling loop (and far less hassle to install) an...
Abstract: For those that are new to CORSAIRs Hydro series it all started way back in 2009. A cooperation with Asetek gave birth to the Hydro50 utilising a single fan. And in a later stage the more performant dual fan equipped Hydro70 unit. Competition was fie...
So if you are on the lookout for an easy to install, good looking and really nice performing product but don't want to spend heaps of dough on it, then most definitely be consider the Corsair H100i LCS kit. Whether you are a bit of a noise freak like I a...

Great performance, Virtually silent at idle, Pump/block mounts easily, Room to expand to push/pull later on
Radiator is large and can be tricky to mount, Fairly loud at full load, Hoses are very stiff
Self-contained liquid cooling systems are practical alternatives to full-sized liquid cooling systems in terms of price and ease of installation. Self-contained units also offer significantly better clearance on the motherboard compared to large afterma...
