Corsair H100i Review

Corsair H100i

The Corsair H100i is a 240mm water cooler and fan controller built into one. The H100i cools a processor by constantly pumping water over the CPU and pushing it through a radiator to be cooled by the two giant fans mounted on it. In my K2 build I have my cooler mounted to the top of my case since it has air vents and mounting holes specifically designed for a water cooler like this one.

The Corsair H100i is very quiet yet extremely effective at lowing CPU temperatures during large loads. As of the 4th Generation of i7 processors the voltage regulator for the chip is now located on the processor itself instead of the motherboard. This means the chip will heat up to much higher temperatures since full voltage makes it to the chip. Despite that though, the H100i allows me to overclock my CPU from 3.5GHz to 4.6GHz without worrying about it melting. Using the Corsair Link give the user even more control over the performance of the cooler as well.
