A little over a year ago Zahn put the Corsair Hydro H50 Liquid CPU Cooler through the paces and awarded it our Silver Seal of Approval based on its performance, price and installation procedure. Corsair has since followed up on the original design with the release of the H70 which we will be taking a look at here today. The H70 features a lower profile water block / pump assembly, a thicker radiator and dual cooling fans, among other changes. These improvements sound great in theory but will they translate to real-world performance?
Watercooling
Corsair have updated the waterblock design and given the Hydro H60 a new compact profile which hides functional changes to the integrated pump and improves mounting bracket installation significantly. All of this is transparent to the end user though. Being the 'entry level' water cooler model, the H60's waterblock lacks the integrated fan controller and LINK hardware present on the Hydro H80i and H100i units. No matter, you don't need the software/USB stuff to operate a watercooler such as this.

Today we are looking at the newest addition to the Corsair Hydro Series, the H60. The H60 is the result of Corsair and CoolIT Systems teaming up. Join us as we see how this new cooler holds up on our Intel Core i7-930 test bench and up against the recently tested offering from Antec, the Kuhler H2O 620.

Today we are going to look at one of Corsair’s latest liquid CPU coolers, the H55. This is an improved version of the existing H50 cooler which is popular with those looking for a high performance cooler at a very reasonable price point. We look forward to seeing how it fares in our tests.

Corsair is one of the leading brands in the All In One liquid cooling solutions market. By teaming up with Asetek and Cool IT they are able to use the latest technology and add to these provided cooling solutions their own little trademarks. Lately the AIO market is closing the gap on the Do it Yourself market, this performance wise; the generated noise to deliver the best cooling can still be somewhat over the top, though by introducing the 140mm fan versions a better performance versus noise ratio was achieved. Nevertheless in this market one can never rest on its laurels. Other brands alike Fractal Design and LEPA introduced some interesting products that gave similar specced Hydro products a decent run for their money, though Corsair is back in 2015 with revamped versions of the H80i, H100i and H110. Today we test the flagship model the H110i GT, later this month the samples of the H80i GT and the H100i GTX should become available.

In der heutigen Zeit sind die Hardware-Komponenten mit so vielen Reserven ausgestattet, dass es fast unmöglich ist, sein System nicht zu übertakten. Aktuelle Prozessoren wie der Core i7 2600K oder der 2500K laden regelrecht dazu ein. Um diesen Chip auch richtig kühlen zu können, bedarf es schon eines guten Kühlers, der gleich mal um die 50,- Euro kostet. Eine Lösung wäre auch eine fertige Wasserkühlung, wie zum Beispiel Corsair sie anbietet. Seit wenigen Jahren hat man hier Erfahrung und verbessert sich von Version zu Version. Wir haben uns ihr neuestes Werk, die Corsair Hydro Series H100 genauer angesehen.

The Hydro H100 heatsink ships fully assembled, filled with a propylene glycol based coolant and plumbed. The waterblock is connected by 24cm of flexible FEP tubing to the heat exchanger which measures about 274x120x25mm in size. Two 120mm fans are included, these operate at 2600-1300RPM and create a fair bit of noise at full tilt. Corsair's Hydro H100 is a no fuss, self contained CPU liquid cooling solution for use on Intel socket LGA2011/1366/1155/1156/775 and AMD socket AM3/AM2/FM1 processors.

Corsair just recently launched a brand new Hydro series with the H80i and H100i units, both coolers being updated versions of their predecessors, not alone being overhauled in the cooling/pump block design, but also the addition of the new CORSAIR AIR Static Pressure fans was a big plus for the new Hydro i series. Secondly the LINK software was now directly supported, without the need of buying the optional Command Control set. The new features boosted the cooling performance and versatility for end-user adjustment. To our big surprise, two brand new Hydro units arrived on our doorstep. The Hydro 90 and 110, both being optimized for extreme cooling performances. Weirdly enough these brand new coolers are not based on the latest Hydro I series, but seem at first glance a revamp of the older Hydro 70 design, manufactured by ASETEK for CORSAIR. Biggest innovation is the usage of a 140mm radiator and ditto fan, instead of the 120mm version we are so accustomed too. More radiator surface should enhance the cooling capacity. Let's find out how these two Hydro units perform...

We tested the new Corsair H90, a sealed liquid cooling system for CPUs with a 140 mm radiator cooled by one 140 mm fan. Check it out!

Corsair might not have been the first to bring the all-in-one water cooler to the market, but the Hydro series was the force behind making them a household name. It all started with the Asetek designed H50, which was by no means a perfect product, but its simplicity, performance and acoustics made it a commercial success. Since then Corsair has switched their Hydro series over from the Asetek design to one from CoolIt. Their latest coolers, however, the H110 and H90 are once again created by Asetek, but they are based on their latest 4th generation design.
