To test the performance of the Corsair Hydro H100i GTX, we built a powerful X79 based system on an open test bench to push the cooler to the limits. As we were testing on an open test bench, we directed a Be Quiet! Shadow Wings 120 mm fan at the VRM circuitry to better simulate the airflow generated in a case.
For our extreme tests, we manually overclocked the i7-3930K to 4.7 GHz by increasing the multiplier to 47x, leaving the baseclock set at 100 MHz.
We set Load Line Calibration to ‘High', and increased the CPU Current Capability to 120% with a minor voltage increase. Speed stepping was disabled for both stock and overclocked tests.
We tested the Corsair Hydro H100i GTX with the fans in performance mode and in quiet mode. The pump speed was set to performance for both tests.

Nice, although if you have the room and silence is an issue, looks like the H105 is the overall better choice if radiatior thickness isn’t an issue.
Thanks, I was wondering how this thing performed.
A quality tower cooler performs as well, cost less and never leaks coolant. It’s foolish to introduce liquids to a typical PC when HSFs perform just fine. These CLCs/AOIs are for the technically challenged who hasn’t done their homework.
got a h80i, it is quiet and cool, my friend thought it was a waste of money, then he came round to my house, had to get down on the floor to check that the pc was running. All In One coolers work well for me, pretty idiot proof and very quiet, will only fit AIO in future, not have the knowledge for a custom loop which might leak 🙁

looks like the guest is someone who gets a big meaty glans to furiously rub their epiglottis for their daily protein drink and then they whip it out to plunge where the sun never shines and lick off all that brown stuff….
According to whois, workonlinesofts.com is available! and only $10.99 almost like someone ripped it to shreds and did not tell master bates the spammer 🙂
Yea because air coolers are incredibly technical to install……
got one of these fitted to the new rig, totally silent 🙂
the titan x is quiet, the case fan at the rear trying to dump heat out the back is anything but quiet 🙁
have ordered an aftermarket AIO cooler for the titan 🙂
lol. yea this guy must have been a rocket scientist to get that air cooler going.
In my first build I said to myself “Is now or never” so i jumped. I bought a 360 XPSC kit. It brings everything you need in order to achieve your first loop. Really straight forward installation and you just need to make sure everything is tight. You should go for it, man. It is an awesome ride.
looks to be an american product, for $500 so probably £500. the H80i AIO is about £85, so expect the xpsc kit would be better. how do you deal with draining the fluid every 12-18 months ?
as the self build kits can suffer from biofilm and need flushing
360 means that you will need 3 120mm (minimum) fans. So, 1st rule: every component means 120mm. So with the XPSC 360 you can liquid cooled up to 3 components. I currently cooled my cpu and my gpu. Everything stays cooled and nice. Personally I wouldn’t get involved with the colored coolant (dyers). Just use distilled water or the coolant provided by the kit. If you want some color in your loop your are better off with the colored tubing or UV reactive ones. Very old pic btw
