For temperature tests we loaded the system for 10 minutes using Prime 95 and recorded the CPU temperature using CPUID HWMonitor. We then restarted the system and left it idling at the desktop for 10 minutes before recording temperatures. The temperatures recorded are based on an ambient temperature of 20 degrees C.
We can see that the H105 performs well, especially in the overclocked tests. When the processor is overclocked, the H105 even offered slightly better performance than the H100i at maximum fan speed.
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.
