FrostyTech posted Corsair Hydro H100 Water Cooling Heatsink Review
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. The system consists of two parts; a 12v DC pump head with skived copper waterblock and a large aluminum liquid-to-air heat exchanger.
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. Retail price for the Corsair Hydro H100 thermal solution is pegged at $119 USD/CDN. Just keep in mind the Hydro H100 requires a PC case with two side-by-side 120mm rear fan holes.
If you stop by Frostytech often you'll no doubt recognize that Corsair's Hydro H100 liquid cooling system is essentially identical to the Hydro H80 unit Frostytech tested previously. The only difference between the two is the size of liquid-to-air heat exchanger and quantity of fans the pump head can manage. Where the Hydro H80 used a roughly 120mm square by 45mm thick heat exchanger, the Hydro H100 has a ~240x120mm rectangular, 25mm thick unit. Both watercooling systems come with two 120mm fans, the Hydro H80 has them positioned inline while the Hydro H100 has the fans set side-by-side.
