(English is my 2nd language so I'm not sure I use all words 100% correctly. So narrow fins can be better at high air flow (provided by more powerful/louder fans) or less narrow fins can be used in order to obtain a passive or low-rpm cooling method, which is less powerful. This then influences the air flow through the fins.

In order to increase surface in the same dimensions, you can make the fins be more narrow, thus having more fins in the same space. But these tiny 120mm or 240mm radiators used by Corsair do not greatly increase the surface that is available for cooling.Īlso, geometry plays a role in cooling. People with SLI/CF configurations usually go for a MoRa which has 9*120/140mm fans and the respective radiator surface to go along with it. The reason DIY watercooling is so high end is because usually they have at least twice to three times the radiator surface compared to the H100.

Look at the surface that these Corsair radiators provide for cool and then compare them to that Thermalright monster and you have your reason for why they don't do better. So your reasons are all false, I'm sorry to say. Standard air cooling just cuts out the middleman (water).

They use air to cool, the water only transports the heat from the generator (CPU) to the radiator. You also make it seem as though these units use water to cool. Once a water cooling solution reaches a certain amount of water flow, increasing the amount will not help the cooling in any way, so the limited flow in these units does not negatively contribute to its lack of performance. In open/standard water cooling you need it in order to fill and refill your cycle, to have a spot where the air can escape the system, to gauge if enough water is in the system or to get an estimate of the circulation (bubbling water can mean high circulation, flat surface can mean low etc.). In sealed cooling solutions, you don't need it because of the sealed nature (at least if the manufacturer does its job of delivering an air-free system and handles loss of liquid due to dissipation from the tubes adequately). Death666Angel - Monday, Novemlink Unless your reservoir is in the region of several tens or hundreds of litres, the reservoir serves no cooling purpose.Low-permeability for near-zero evaporation First, let's take a look at the specs for the units being tested today. But just how well do these Corsair liquid-coolers perform against the current cream of the crop air-coolers? After all, Corsair is targeting the high-end air-cooling market with these cooling solutions, both in price and performance. They are designed to be a closed-loop solution with no maintenance required at all.

The Corsair Hydro Series of liquid CPU coolers aim to give you the power of liquid-cooling in a compact, easy to install package, without the complexity of traditional water-cooling kits.

They have previously partnered with Asetek for other Hydro Series products (H40/H50/H70/H70 Core), but our focus here is on the H60, H80, and H100. Corsair has teamed up with CoolIT Systems this time around. Today we're going to take a look at the Corsair Hydro Series H60 High Performance, H80 High Performance, and H100 Extreme Performance liquid CPU coolers. We've even seen both Intel and AMD announce the inclusion of liquid-coolers for their upcoming processor lines. Introducing Corsair’s Hydro Series: H60, H80 and H100Ĭlosed-loop liquid CPU cooling solutions are gaining popularity as more and more vendors are carrying their own variation.
