Corsair box artwork is very distinctive, and the Hydro H105 package is immediately recognisable. The top of the box features a large image of the cooler within, alongside some basic information. The box features a red and black livery which fits in with the rest of the Corsair Hydro Series.
The flip side reveals further details about the features and specifications of the cooler. We are very impressed with the quality of the packaging. It feels very durable and the extensive inner packaging should protect the cooler from any damage during transit.
Inside the box, the bundle consists almost entirely of the mounting components which give the cooler excellent compatibility with different platforms. Corsair thoughtfully pre-attach the Intel configuration, though, to save time during installation. AMD users will have to remove the preattached Intel bracket before starting their build.
38mm thick v 27mm is a big difference, good job, although I think it might have fitting issues in some cases.
I dont know why they only stock those fans in the US, I can’t get them here either. stupid stupid stupid.
I love my H80, but would like to upgrade it this year, this is now top of my list. Just need a new case to handle it as well. bleh.
You can get the SP PWM fans from overclockers. Weren’t hard to find 🙂
The only reason this was released is for Corsair to be an option when considering coolers for the NZXT Kraken GPU cooler
@ Aron – where can you get the SP120L fans? I only see the SP120 fans on OCUK 🙁
will the pump work on a molex to 2 pin fan adaptor??? i cant find molex to 3 pin adaptors anywhere to run the pump, i dont really want the pump to spin up and down
I love your blog, It is really informative and unique. I am looking for this blog for a long time. Liquid cooling removes the heat from computer. As a result, it runs fastly without any problem.
I have a H105 too. And It’s really a great CPU cooler. This is actually target to those who doesn’t do much tweaking. It’s basically unbox, install and you’re good to go. It like the thick radiator too.
