For our 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.
The Corsair H110 showed excellent performance in these tests, beating the H90 by around 3 degrees in the stock test and 5 degrees in the overclocked test. The H90 also performed well, achieving better scores than both the high-end air heatsinks tested.
excellent. getting the H110 next month for my new rig
THey are expensive, shame they hadn’t bundled better fans, their fans were always great, like Lian Li.
I’m currently looking at picking up a H110 for my next build but im tied between Akasa Apache or Viper 140mm’s anyone got any suggestions?
How do you/they solve the Galvanic Cell problem that occurs with all copper – Aluminum cooling solutions? Are they still on the “special coolant” wagon?
Why do you say that the H110 has 20mm fan spacing? All of the images appear to show the two 140mm fans touching with zero spacing, which is compatible with just about any case that supports dual 140’s.
